Chapter 390 Yipin Guo
Now that I have eaten such delicious food, I can behave better.
In this way, you can have more delicious food!
Shi Dahai thought so, and the hand wielding the hammer became a little stronger.
Guanshi Fu quickly set up the shelf next to the door.
The wooden shelf has a falcon structure and is painted with bright red paint. The color is very beautiful and eye-catching.
Then, he placed the lower part of the huge copper pot made by Shi Dahai, tied it with a circle of red silk, and tied a huge cluster of red silk in front of the street. Red silk flowers.
The color combination of yellow and red, the hard copper and the soft silk complement each other. It is eye-catching and beautiful, just as Xia Mingyue and Fu Guanshi imagined, attracting the attention of many people.
“What is this object?”
“I don’t know, I’ve never seen it before. It looks like it’s made of copper.”
"This was a teahouse before, but it was sold out as soon as it was sold out. I just thought it was to open a more novel shop, but never thought it would be a copperware seller?"
"It doesn't look like it, before. A few days ago, I saw people carrying tables and carrying dishes and chopsticks inside. I guess it was a restaurant or something like that. "It's a place to eat."
"Since it's a place to eat, why put such a big bronze utensil here?" An auspicious object for Feng Shui?”
“Maybe...”
In the constant discussion and speculation, the copper hot pot has become an auspicious item in the eyes of everyone, but this item is also slowly changing amidst everyone's attention.
From the initial base, a pot ring in the middle was added, and then it grew taller and taller...
When the complete copper hot pot appeared in front of everyone, it triggered Everyone made further speculations.
"What kind of object is this?"
"I don't know, it feels a bit like a pot, but not like a pot. There are handles on both sides..."
“I really can’t guess what this is for.”
“The pattern of auspicious clouds on it is very beautiful. Regardless of what it is used for, it looks quite festive.”
>
"Yes, I also think it's quite novel and beautiful."
"..."
While many people were talking about it, Xia Mingyue asked Guanshi Fu to make copper The letter about the hot pot and shabu-shabu meat was quietly released.
This suddenly aroused everyone's curiosity even more.
“This beautiful and novel thing is actually a copper pot for shabu-shabu?”
“Yes, let me just say that the circle at the top is a pot. It is really a pot. It’s also convenient to have a circle around when shabu-shabu.”
“Does this mean that this shop will be in the business of shabu-shabu in a copper pot?”
“That’s probably true. .”
"If that's the case, then I have to give it a taste before I open it to see how it tastes and whether it can satisfy my appetite."
"If you say so, I will have to taste it when the time comes."
Taking advantage of the heated discussion among people, Xia Mingyue and Manager Fu set the opening time of the shop in eight days, and the name of the copper pot shabu-shabu shop was decided, called Yipinguo. Officials are divided into different levels. First-class officials are important ministers in the court. One person is inferior to ten thousand people, and everyone respects them. The copper pots they make for shabu-shabu will also become sought after by everyone.
This hot pot has a rather big name, but it can quickly live up to its name.
Manager Fu felt that the name was an excellent choice and hurriedly ordered someone to make a plaque and hang it before the opening.
Yipinguo is about to open, and everyone is busy preparing.
Back kitchen, front office, food supply, waiter management training...
There are dedicated people in charge of each place, and everyone performs their duties and does their best.
Xia Mingyue conducts comprehensive control, checks and supervises everywhere, and checks for leaks and fills them.
When a new shop is opened, ingredients are very important. Xia Mingyue also focuses on this aspect. From the various ingredients for cooking the soup to the various side dishes and condiments for shabu-shabu, everything is carefully checked. .
Xia Mingyue even went to the place where the lambs were raised at this time to check the status of the lambs collected from various places.
In order to ensure the freshness of the mutton cooked in Yipinguo, both Xia Mingyue and Guanshi Fu agreed that all sheep should be killed alive the night before, soaked in ice and soaked in water, and enough blood and water should be removed before slicing. Serve.
So Xia Mingyue and Manager Fu specially found a relatively remote but spacious courtyard on the edge of the city to store the live sheep purchased from various villages.
This ensures that the live sheep are killed immediately, and there is also a certain amount of food reserves to deal with the shortage of live sheep at any time.
Manager Fu even found two couples who were very experienced in raising poultry and livestock to take care of and feed them to ensure that everything was safe.
When Xia Mingyue went there, the couple was pouring the harvested grass and drying it for half a day into the trough to feed the sheep, and He Shunzi was driving the few live sheep that had just been harvested into the flock. .
All the sheep look very strong and lively. They eat grass and drink water. After eating and drinking, they run around in the sheepfold. There are even some fiercer rams. , took the horns and went on a rampage, disturbing the entire sheepfold.
“This sheep has quite a temper.” Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled.
“They are all free-range sheep from each household. Many of them have not been seen before. If they are suddenly placed in one place, they will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. Fighting is normal.”
He Shunzi explained, "But that one is indeed too powerful. Let's open it first to avoid hurting the other sheep."
"It's not necessary to pull it out today."
Just slaughter it." Xia Mingyue said, "Yipin Guo is about to open. The chef needs to practice and familiarize himself with the process and cook the mutton to reward everyone for their hard work during this time."
"Brother He will also go tomorrow." Xia Mingyue added.
Seeing Xia Mingyue open her mouth to invite, He Shunzi thought about tomorrow's work arrangements, and felt that there was nothing important, so he agreed.
Then, according to Xia Mingyue's instructions, he caught the most ferocious ram, tied it tightly, and boiled water to sharpen the knife.
After the slaughter is completed, skinned and washed, they are sent to the kitchen of Yipinlou.
Cut it into eight pieces and soak it in water to remove the blood. When it's three o'clock in the morning on the second day, enough charcoal is put into the copper hot pot, the soup base is poured in, and plates are placed on the table and sliced thinly. Slices of meat, side dishes to relieve greasiness...
The charcoal fire was burning red, the soup in the pot was boiling, and everyone was holding the slices of meat, ready to feast.
The meat was cooked for a while, and after it changed color, it was dipped in dipping sauce and then eaten. The expressions of everyone present changed.
The taste of the cooked mutton slices is tender, but this mutton slice cannot taste as delicious as before. Instead, it has a vague sour and bitter taste. If you eat two or three slices in succession, it will taste a little bit. Astringent feeling.
Xia Mingyue also tasted something was wrong. She said "Huh" first, then boiled two more pieces of meat. After confirming that the taste was indeed wrong, she put the bowl down.
