After crossing, I was miserable.

After receiving clear instructions this time, Shopkeeper Zhou went to Qian Duoduo's room to discuss cooperation with him.

Qian Duoduo was a little surprised that it was Shopkeeper Zhou, as he thought he could see a more noble "noble person".

Qian Duoduo showed the agreement she had prepared in advance to Shopkeeper Zhou, which stated that she would provide the specific cooking methods and important ingredients for the dish (the ingredients needed to be purchased separately). She only wanted 30% of the profit of the dish. The agreement was for one year, and if there were any changes later, they could be changed after consultation between the two parties.

The shopkeeper looked at the simple agreement, which was clearly marked and had no major problems, so he signed it. Qian Duoduo was given three days to prepare. Because the theme of this event was "spicy", all dishes were spicy, including spicy boiled fish, spicy chicken, Maoxuewang, boiled pork slices, and spicy crab. Qian Duoduo made a list of the ingredients needed and handed it to the shopkeeper. The inn had to buy the ingredients itself. There were also some condiments, some of which were sold in the market, and some needed to be purchased at the pharmacy. Qian Duoduo marked the precautions one by one.

But Qian Duoduo has not been idle these two days. She strolls to the vegetable market every day. Buy a chicken today and a duck tomorrow. After all, it is the capital city, and the vegetables and meat here are very complete. She puts them in the space after buying. But she doesn't like to eat vegetables. She grew up eating eggs, seafood and meat. She only eats two kinds of vegetables, one is potatoes and the other is black fungus. These two vegetables are not green vegetables. She has always felt that eating green vegetables will turn her into a green person. So she doesn't eat any green vegetables.

Moreover, she also confirmed that the chili pepper of this era is a traditional Chinese medicine. It is pungent, hot in nature, and enters the heart and spleen meridians. It has the effects of warming the middle and dispelling cold (using medicines that warm the spleen and stomach to dispel cold evil), stimulating appetite and digestion, and treating abdominal pain caused by cold stagnation, vomiting, diarrhea, frostbite, etc. Eating chili peppers can generally dispel cold and dampness. If it is used to treat cold and dampness invading the spleen and stomach, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea (diarrhea), heaviness and fatigue, and reduced appetite, chili peppers can also be used in combination with Atractylodes, Patchouli, Magnolia officinalis, etc. to warm the middle and stimulate appetite, dry dampness and stop diarrhea. Therefore, people of this era were unlikely to use this kind of medicinal material to cook.

This time she also focused on meat and seafood. She didn't expect to be able to buy crabs here, but people here don't seem to like crabs, so crabs are really cheap, and they are even given away. There was no other way, she couldn't bear to waste money, so she had to buy all the boss's crabs and put them in the space for the time being.

On the first day, Qian Duoduo made some spicy noodles to test everyone's tolerance for "spicy" taste.

Prepare the necessary ingredients, beef tendon noodles, chili pepper, green onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaf, cumin, white sesame, sugar, salt, chili powder, tangerine peel, and pepper. I spent 10 coins to ask the cook to help make beef tendon noodles. Star anise, cinnamon, bay leaf and other things are actually available in the pharmacy. Although it is in the space, it does not exist here yet.

Pour chili powder, chili powder, cumin, pepper powder, salt, sugar, and fried white sesame seeds into a bowl, stir well and set aside. Put oil in a pot, then put onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves into the pot, fry slowly over low heat until browned, then remove. Then continue to heat the hot oil in the pot for a while, then pour it into the prepared chili powder, stir, and pour in hot oil again, and the fragrance will come out at this time.

The man in the kitchen had heard that some guests wanted to use the kitchen to cook their own food, but he didn't really care. There are all kinds of people staying in hotels when traveling. But when the aroma from the kitchen wafted out, everyone swallowed their saliva unconsciously. Why would they think so? Many people wanted to watch. Shopkeeper Zhou drove them away.

Qian Duoduo didn't care and continued to stir. Soak the beef tendon noodles in cold water for 30 seconds. If you want the spicy strips to taste good, you must grasp the soaking time of the beef tendon noodles in cold water. It takes three minutes to steam the beef tendon noodles in the steamer. Qian Duoduo silently counted 180 seconds, and then uncovered it while it was hot to prevent it from sticking together. Finally, find a larger container, pour the chili oil on the beef tendon noodles, mix well, and the spicy strips are ready.

Everyone looked at the long red "noodles" and then saw Qian Duoduo's satisfaction after taking a bite. They were really curious. Qian Duoduo was not stingy and cut the spicy noodles into small pieces for everyone to try. If they liked it, they could take some home. But I still remind everyone that this is a bit irritating. It may be a bit unbearable at first, but it will become more fragrant the more you chew it. Everyone's curiosity was aroused and they all wanted to try it because it smelled so good.

Chef Li tasted the one he put into his mouth first, frowned slightly, and felt a little uncomfortable when it first entered his mouth, but seeing that everyone was eager to try it, he was too embarrassed to spit it out. He thought that after all, they were children, so they would use useless things and waste food. But he didn't know that this thing really became more delicious the more he chewed it, and he had already unconsciously taken a small bowl and ate it, and he ate it "sha, sha."

Seeing how deliciously Chef Li ate, everyone was eager to try, fearing that it would be snatched away. Some people were attracted by the spicy taste from the beginning, knowing that it might be uncomfortable, so they chose to eat with their eyes closed, feeling sweet, salty, and slightly irritating the mouth, but all the flavors together were delicious, and it felt like they could eat at least two bowls of it with rice.

But some people can't stand it. The more they chew, the more uncomfortable their mouths become, and it feels like fire is coming out of their noses. So they have to give up. But most people can still accept it.

Qian Duoduo, through the feedback from the people in the kitchen, feels that spicy food will definitely have a large audience in this era.

The next day, Qian Duoduo prepared to cook boiled fish. During the cooking process, he called the two chefs together so that they could taste the food and give their opinions immediately after it was done.

Take out the prepared grass carp weighing about three pounds, slaughter it and wash it, remove the clean fish meat, cut it obliquely into slices about 0.2 cm thick, then put it in a bowl, add salt, wine (to remove fishy smell), and water starch and mix well; chop the fish head and fish bones into pieces; peel and wash the old ginger and garlic, and cut them into minced ginger and garlic; wash the green bamboo shoots, cut them into slices; wash the green onions, and cut them into chopped green onions.

Place the pot on high heat and heat the refined oil until it is 4% cooked. Add dried chili segments, Sichuan peppercorns, and bean paste and stir-fry until fragrant and colored. Add ginger and garlic and stir-fry briefly. Add fresh soup, salt, wine, pepper, sugar, soy sauce, fermented glutinous rice juice, fish head, and fish bones and simmer until cooked.

Put another pot on high heat, heat a little refined oil, add green bamboo shoots, add salt and stir-fry until cooked, put into a bowl for later use. Take out the fish head and bones that have been boiled and pour them on the green bamboo shoots. Bring the soup in the pot to a boil, add the fish slices and blanch until cooked, add MSG and mix evenly, remove from the pot and serve in a bowl, sprinkle with chopped green onions. Heat refined oil in the pot until 5% cooked, add dried chili peppers, peppercorns, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, pour on the chopped green onions and it is done.

The two chefs were also amazed when they saw Qian Duoduo cooking a dish in one go. They thought he was just a playful young man, but they didn't expect him to be so good at cooking.

"Chefs, please try it and give us some advice." Qian Duoduo said with a smile.

This time, it was Chef Zhang who started eating. Last time, he didn't get to eat the spicy strips because he had to take a leave for something. This time, he had to eat them first. Looking at the red peppers on the strips, he took a bite of the fish first. The meat was tender, spicy but not dry, and fresh and mellow. Without thinking too much, he took another bite. The fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, and the aftertaste was endless.

Chef Li watched him eat one bite at a time, and he hurried to eat. In the past, fish was simply cleaned and stewed directly. Although the fish meat was also delicious, it was not as flavorful as this one. Because the live fish was killed first, it has the freshness of the fish and the spicy taste of the chili to stimulate the mouth. The dish also became more flavorful.

All in all, very good.

"Boss, let the two chefs have time to cook this dish in the next two days. I will tell them about the seasoning, especially the chili, which is crucial. And divide the spicy boiled fish they made into small bowls and send them to customers, so as to test everyone's feedback in advance." Qian Duoduo suggested: "If the feedback is good, we will put it on sale in three days. It is March now and the weather is still a little cold. Eating some hot spicy dishes can not only stimulate the taste buds, but also make people feel warm. What do you think?"

After tasting the food, Shopkeeper Zhou wanted to introduce the new dish right away, but he still followed Qian Duoduo's advice and did so.
