Chapter 111 Soybeans can also be used to brew new soy sauce
In return, Su Xiaoxiao returned home and started making soy sauce.
She was very serious this time. In fact, the recipe for making soy sauce was quite simple, but Su Xiaoxiao spent a lot of money this time and must make it well so that the soy sauce can help Qian Musheng.
She is selecting soybeans. Each soybean is very plump and has no missing corners. After fermentation, it is now turned into soybean koji. After drying, the moldy parts are screened out, and then exposed to the sun.
Finally, salt and water are added to make the soy sauce, and it needs to be filtered. Anyway, it's a lot of steps.
I remember when I was a kid, I took the soy sauce bucket at home and went to the store to buy soy sauce.
One bucket at a time. The soy sauce is filled in a large black water vat, which is bottomless and dark. Then a small tea vat is tied with a stick made of a spoon. I'll give you a spoonful at a time. You can help the family make soy sauce, right? Everyone must have had such an experience, but they don’t remember whether the soy sauce at that time was delicious.
Anyway, it all has the same taste. There should have been packaged soy sauce at that time, just like the soy sauce sold in supermarkets now, right? But I haven’t seen it often, and all I eat is soy sauce in bulk.
After Su Xiaoxiao made the soy sauce, she put it into a small porcelain bottle and then went to the Eight Immortals Tower to find Qian Mu Sheng.
This time she was full of confidence and wanted Qian Musheng to use the soy sauce she made.
Qian Musheng took the soy sauce and opened the lid and smelled it. It was indeed different from the soy sauce they made with meat.
"You said this is made with ordinary soybeans? No meat added?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "No meat added."
"But will it be delicious? Our soy sauce at Baxianlou is excellent, using only the best meat. You don't know this, right?"
Su Xiaoxiao said so. In fact, she also knew that she was actually quite confident.
The dishes made with this kind of soy sauce are indeed very delicious. "You will know when you go to the kitchen. Since your chef is not willing to try it, I will try it with him and make two dishes myself. Look at this Doesn’t it matter if the food is different?”
Su Xiaoxiao could tell that Qian Musheng's hesitation was mainly because the chef of the Eight Immortals House was unwilling to use the new soy sauce provided to them by Su Xiaoxiao.
This matter is actually quite understandable. The chef has been working in the Eight Immortals House for so long, and the recipes and cooking recipes used have become fixed patterns. How can he change it so easily?
If you suddenly change an important seasoning like soy sauce, the taste of the dish will definitely change drastically. If the guests don't like it, it won't be worth the loss.
There is no room for compromise on this point, which is why the chef disagrees.
It is actually difficult to make changes. Su Xiaoxiao proposed that she and the chef just have a try. She was going to use this soy sauce to make a stir-fried cabbage. After directly adding oil to stir-fry until fragrant, she added the cabbage and stir-fried it. In fact, this dish It seems commonplace, but if you want to make your own taste, it's actually quite rare.
After the dish was made, Su Xiaoxiao saw Qian Musheng's eyes widened. The color of the cabbage was very bright.
After Su Xiaoxiao put this dish on the plate, a very delicious aroma spread to everyone's noses.
Look at the chef at Baxianlou on the other side also making this stir-fried cabbage and putting it on a plate.
The color of his plate was black, and the food didn't look good at all. Although the smell was very fragrant, it seemed to be mixed with a burnt smell.
As the big boss, Qian Musheng is naturally the judge of this competition.
He also knew that when they used to stir-fry, as long as they added some soy sauce, it would produce that burnt feeling.
He took a bite of Su Xiaoxiao's stir-fried cabbage, which was emerald green and very refreshing, which added to his appetite.
When I tried the stir-fried cabbage cooked by my own chef, it didn't have the refreshing taste of the cabbage itself. It was slightly salty and had a mushy taste. It seems that Su Xiaoxiao is really right about this matter. The key point is that the soy sauce used by Su Xiaoxiao does not have any meat added to it, but it still has a bit of meat flavor, which is very rare.
The expression on Qian Musheng's face said it all. He couldn't stop eating the food cooked by Su Xiaoxiao. It was obvious that the essence of this dish was really the soy sauce.
"It's quite delicious, isn't it?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked Qian Musheng.
Qian Musheng also heard Su Xiaoxiao's tone. Although it was a bit showy and showy, their soy sauce was indeed good and should indeed be something to be proud of.
Qian Musheng saw his chef's expression of disbelief, so he asked him to get another pair of chopsticks to taste Su Xiaoxiao's stir-fried cabbage.
Sure enough, the chef of the Eight Immortals House’s eyes lit up after eating it.
He was very surprised, and this time he took a serious look at the soy sauce made by Su Xiaoxiao.
"Did you really make this soy sauce?"
He carefully observed the color and smell of the soy sauce, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao with an incredulous expression.
"Yes."
"Can you really make it with just soybeans?"
The chef still looked very unconvinced, and Su Xiaoxiao quickly replied: "Yes, it's just soybeans."
This soy sauce is not only delicious for stir-fried dishes. Later, Su Xiaoxiao made another cold dish, which also used this soy sauce, and it was still so addictive that it seemed to be the credit of the soy sauce.
The chef of the Eight Immortals House was convinced, and he even admired Su Xiaoxiao.
"Can Boss Su teach us the art of making soy sauce?"
"Okay. I'm more than happy to oblige."
Mainly because the process of making soy sauce can bring a lot of economic benefits to Su Xiaoxiao, but in order to help Qian Musheng and let more people taste the good taste of the new soy sauce, in fact, this matter is still very important. worth.
The main reason is that Su Xiaoxiao does not want to owe others favors. If the new soy sauce is used in the Eight Immortals Tower this time, no one will object.
"It's just that the customers didn't know the situation this time, so we temporarily changed the soy sauce for them. Will any customers be dissatisfied?"
Indeed, if this dish were replaced with the important seasoning soy sauce, it would indeed be easily discovered by regular customers.
This was actually quite worthy of Qian Musheng's consideration, but Qian Musheng still made the decision directly with a wave of his hand.
"We just want to use new soy sauce, and I believe our customers will understand and be very willing to accept it."
Qian Musheng is still quite confident, and he knows that by doing this, he will definitely save the restaurant a lot of money.
At least you can save a lot of money by using it on soy sauce. By saving costs and making the dishes more delicious, the business of Baxianlou can be taken to the next level.
