Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 427 Business Talk

An Yue put an appropriate amount of water into the pot, chopped the washed rooster into two halves from the middle, and then put it into the pot.

Add a few slices of ginger, onion, wine, salt, and spicy pepper into the pot, then cover the pot and cook until the water boils.

When the water boils, there will be a layer of foam.

An Yue skimmed off the layer of foam on the surface, then simmered it over low heat for a quarter of an hour, then turned off the heat and simmered it for another half a quarter of an hour.

While the chicken was cooking, An Yue took out the preserved eggs from the basket.

She removed the concrete from the outer shell of the preserved egg, then cracked open the inner eggshell and slowly peeled it open.

After peeling, put it in a basin of water to clean it, then cut the preserved egg into two pieces and four pieces, and set it aside for later use.

Shopkeeper Wang saw An Yue crack open the cut preserved eggs and asked curiously, "Miss, is this a cooked duck egg?"

An Yue smiled and explained: "This is not an ordinary boiled duck egg, it is called a Songhua egg, and it can be eaten after it is cut open."

Shopkeeper Wang was very surprised when he saw An Yue crack the eggshell but didn't see her put the egg into the pot to cook.

He asked, "Wang, I saw that the girl hadn't cooked the preserved egg yet, so how could she eat it?"

"Preserved eggs don't need to be boiled, and the taste is different from boiled duck eggs."

As she spoke, An Yue handed Shopkeeper Wang a slice of cut preserved egg.

Shopkeeper Wang took the preserved egg handed over by An Yue, looked at it carefully, brought it to his nose and sniffed it, then tentatively put it into his mouth.

"This taste... is very unique. It is something Wang has never tasted before."

"Some people may find it strange when they eat it for the first time, but after eating it a few times, they will understand the wonders of this preserved egg."

"Yes, yes, it tastes really good." After saying this, Shopkeeper Wang put all the remaining preserved eggs in his hand into his mouth.

The chefs standing by couldn't help swallowing as they watched Shopkeeper Wang taste the preserved eggs carefully.

At this time, An Yue had already started preparing various seasonings and spices that would be used later.

Chili pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, salt, sesame seeds, and green onions are all cut into small cubes.

Shopkeeper Wang and a group of chefs stood aside, watching intently, their eyes full of anticipation.

......

Finally, An Yue opened the lid of the pot, took out the chicken and put it into the warm water prepared in advance.

Then scoop out a spoonful of chicken soup and pour it into the prepared bowl of diced spices, and stir gently with chopsticks.

Then, An Yue began to cut the chicken into pieces as wide as her little finger.

Then place the chicken slices neatly in an artistic bowl or plate, and finally place the sliced ​​preserved eggs in a circle around the chicken.

Finally, pour the spice sauce evenly over the chicken and preserved eggs in the bowl.

Finally, a "golden marriage" with good color, fragrance and taste was presented in front of everyone.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the dishes in front of him, his eyes full of emotion.

He couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and tasted it.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Wonderful! This dish has a mellow taste, the chicken is tender and juicy, and the unique flavor of the preserved egg blends perfectly with the chicken. It is really a rare delicacy."

An Yue looked at Manager Wang's reaction with a smile, and felt quite satisfied.

Shopkeeper Wang put down his chopsticks and said excitedly, "Great, great, great! Young lady, this dish looks good, tastes good, and is innovative."

He became more and more excited as he spoke: "The name of the dish has a profound meaning. Great, great, this dish will definitely become the signature dish of my Wanfulou."

He turned to the chefs standing nearby and said, "Taste this and think carefully about how the girl made it just now."

Then, he said to An Yue with a smile on his face: "Miss, please follow Wang to the reception hall to have a cup of tea."

......

Come to the reception hall.

Shopkeeper Wang asked the servant beside him to arrange for the tea to be poured, then raised his hand to signal An Yue to sit down.

"Girl, please take a seat."

After they both sat down, Shopkeeper Wang asked directly, "What conditions do you need to meet for this 'golden marriage'?"

An Yue pondered for a moment, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "Boss, we are old acquaintances. You have always been generous, which makes Yue Yue unable to propose conditions for a while."

"That's not the way to say it. We all benefit from each other. If you think about it carefully, the girl has really helped me, Wang, a lot. Wang, I am very grateful."

"Miss, please feel free to ask for any conditions you want. As long as I, Wang, can do it, I will agree to them all."

The servant quickly came to pour tea for An Yue, and An Yue nodded slightly to express her gratitude.

The servant turned and left. An Yue picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She slowly said, "Boss, since you said so, Yue Yue will no longer be shy."

"This recipe for 'Golden Jade Marriage' mainly uses preserved eggs to add novelty and taste."

Shopkeeper Wang asked quickly, "Oh? I've never heard of Songhua eggs before. Where did you buy them, young lady?"

An Yue put down the teacup, brushed the hair by her ear, and said, "This preserved egg is not available on the market. It is made with my secret recipe."

"Speaking of preserved eggs, they are also very complicated to make. It is not as simple and quick as boiling eggs."

"After the Songhua eggs are made, they need to be left to rest for a month before they become real Songhua eggs."

After hearing what An Yue said, Shopkeeper Wang looked embarrassed: "Then what about this dish..."

An Yue crossed her hands on her legs and said calmly: "According to the recipe of this 'Golden Jade Marriage' dish, Yue Yue will not charge the shopkeeper's money, but I have to provide the preserved eggs."

Shopkeeper Wang asked bluntly, "How much money do you want for each of these Songhua eggs, girl?"

An Yue quickly calculated the cost in her mind. A duck egg cost about two cents, but it also required lime, salt, spices, and various processing steps.

In addition, it needs to be stored for such a long time, so the price cannot be too low, otherwise it will seem out of fashion.

So, An Yue said, "Every aspect of making preserved eggs is extremely complicated. Hmm... I'll charge you ten cents for each egg. What do you think, shopkeeper?"

Shopkeeper Wang stroked his beard with his hand, nodded and said thoughtfully: "Well, compared to the value of this dish, this is not expensive."

An Yue continued, "I don't charge for the recipe, but Yue Yue has a condition, which is not difficult for the shopkeeper."

When Manager Wang heard that there was a condition, he was curious about what it was.

"Oh? You can tell me, girl."

"It's about the An family spicy hot pot shop. Yueyue hopes that the shopkeeper can help take care of the shop in the future."

"You know, it's not easy for ordinary people like us to start a small business in town."

"Take the incident with the young master of the Zhang family today for example. He deliberately made things difficult for me. Fortunately, the shopkeeper stepped in in time and the matter was settled."
