Chapter 568 Pressed back
Thanks to Zhou Xu’s adjustment, the matter of sending a few experienced craftsmen to lead the construction team has been basically finalized.
So far, his first court meeting since his return has gone smoothly.
After retiring from the court, for Zhou Xu, his day had just begun.
After briefly handling the documents piled on his desk, Zhou Xu turned around and went to the canteen kitchen of Black Moon Village.
He had already sent people to take care of things here, so his arrival did not cause much trouble to the chefs here.
After arriving at the place, Zhou Xu didn't waste any time and directly told the chefs about the spices that had been simply processed and put into small jars.
"Okay, come here now, smell and taste the flavors of these spices one by one, so that you can really know."
Following the wishes of their king, the chefs Come one by one to smell the smell of the spices, then pick up a chopstick, lightly dip a little on it and put it into your mouth.
Many of these spices, including chilies, peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, are spicy, allowing chefs who have never tasted such a taste before to taste it for the first time.
Although it only touched a little, it was not like Bam was jumping up and down like before, but the expressions on each of them at this time were quite exciting.
But I am a cook after all. When I first entered the mouth, I just thought, ‘This thing can also be used for cooking? Will anyone really eat the food? ’
But as the taste in their mouths gradually settled, they slowly tasted some flavors in the aftertaste, and at the same time they also had new ideas.
Zhou Xu had no intention of letting them take these spices and study them slowly by themselves as soon as they came up.
Instead, he taught them a few simple dishes.
The first thing he taught me was the dipping sauce he made when eating mutton. It was simple after all...
“This is a dipping sauce that can be used with some steamed and boiled foods, such as chicken and mutton. It can be used with any kind. When steaming, you can also use it with onion, ginger and garlic to remove the fishy smell. "
After knowing the recipe, you can learn it very quickly, but there is no knowledge at all. Inside, I taught three others how to cook.
There is not much to say about the ingredients used in stir-fry. The test is the cook's skill on the stove. The chefs in the Heiyue Village Canteen count their portions for one person, and they have to cook for hundreds of people every day. Of course, the cooking time on the stove is indispensable for the dishes.
After taking a bite, Zhou Xu could not help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.
[Fortunately, I am relatively knowledgeable and did not cook these dishes myself. 】
Before time traveling, he lived alone and had some skills in cooking.
When he first traveled through time, he could still show off his skills, but as time went by, he didn’t know how long he hadn’t cooked, and the novices under him didn’t know how to cook. , each of them has grown into an experienced master.
Zhou Xu basically had no room to show off his cooking skills.
While they were finishing tasting the dishes, it was almost time for lunch.
"Just in time, just hang up the new dishes and promote them. When promoting, you just say this..."
While talking, Zhou Xu taught the waiter at the window a way of saying something.
“As for the price, let’s try one dish first this time, and we’ll choose boiled chicken, which costs five cents.”
As soon as the price was reported, the kitchen immediately asked The chefs and cooks inside gasped.
As a dish, this price is undoubtedly expensive.
Let's put it this way, a relief meal costs one penny, and a normal meal for a normal person usually only costs two to three pennies. Three or four pennies can make it quite luxurious, and this five pennies, But it’s just a dish!
Although the taste of these new dishes is very novel, and even gives them a vague feeling that they want to try it again, but they are so expensive, it is really hard to say whether they can be sold. . However, when Zhou Xu made this offer, he naturally had his own thoughts.
You know, the next step is lunch.
Although meals are provided at noon in their Da Zhou canteen, normally speaking, the daily income of most Da Zhou people is not enough to allow them to live a life of three meals a day. Mainly based on two meals a day.
In other words, in their big week, those who can give themselves an extra lunch are all rich people.
This is also the main reason why Zhou Xu chose to directly promote new dishes at this time.
After all, the main consumer group of this type of new dishes is the rich people with big wallets and who can afford three meals a day. Let them have a place to spend the extra money.
After spending money and reaping the happiness brought by delicious food, he worked harder for them.
At meal time, people who wanted to eat lunch quickly arrived one after another. After all, their lunch break time is relatively limited. If they take it too long, it will soon be time to go to work in the afternoon. .
At this moment, the cook standing at the window had already cheered up and greeted people as soon as he saw them coming in.
"Minister Wang, Minister Zhuang..."
Zhou Xu, who was in the kitchen at the time, wasn't surprised at all when he heard what was going on in front.
From the perspective of high income, the high-income people in their current stage are basically concentrated on those cadres.
At the same time, the cook was also very enthusiastic.
"There is a new dish in the cafeteria today. It is made with some new seasonings that our king got from the New World. It is called 'White-cut Chicken'. It costs five cents a portion. Do you want to try one?"
"Five cents? A dish?!"
Wang Dachui, who walked in, was shocked on the spot when he heard the price.
As a cadre of an important department, he has a high income and a big wallet, but he is not illiterate.
In fact, for cadres like them, there are requirements for literacy and numeracy.
He usually only spends three or four pennies on a meal, but this thing called "white-cut chicken" is directly more expensive than a meal? !
Hearing this, the cook immediately became energetic.
Isn’t the rhetoric that their king taught him used at this time?
As a result, before he could speak, Zhuang Mengdie’s light voice rang out...
“Give me a portion, some vegetables and a bowl of soup. And a bowl of rice, thank you.”
Zhuang Mengdie was a little interested in the new seasonings that their king had brought from the New World, but he didn't plan to waste too much time on this matter. He just wanted to have lunch quickly and then go back to work.
When Wang Dachui saw Zhuang Mengdie being so forthright, he was naturally unwilling to lag behind.
"Then I'll have one too, the rest is the same as usual."
"..."
Good guy, the rice cook has already reached his mouth. I pressed back what I said!
