61 Can This Really Be Eaten?
Ji Zhao scooped a bowl of brine and added some chili oil, soy sauce, and chili powder to make it into flavored sauce.
She dipped her chopsticks into the sauce. After making sure that the taste was correct, she began to cut the beef and beef intestines that had been cooked and cooled.
After cutting these, she plated them and drizzled the marinade over them. After stirring them evenly, she sprinkled some white sesame seeds and cilantro.
“Mother, do you want to try this dish?” Ji Zhao hurriedly handed the chopsticks to Zhao Lanhua, her eyes filled with anticipation.
“Delicious!”
Zhao Lanhua really couldn’t find any other words to describe Ah Tao’s cooking!
In addition to making Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce, Ji Zhao also made Braised Pig’s Head.
When it was almost noon, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair brought those delicious cold dishes into the city again and went straight to Hongxing Restaurant.
When Second Manager You saw the caramelized color of the Braised Pig’s Head, his eyes lit up!
Ji Zhao cut a small piece for Second Manager You to taste.
“This pig’s head is sweet and tender, fat but not greasy!” Second Manager You praised generously. “I didn’t expect this ordinary pig’s head to become so delicious in Third Madam Shen’s hands. Third Madam’s culinary skills are really impressive!”
“If you like it, why don’t you eat more?” Ji Zhao said with a smile.
“I wonder if Third Madam has considered my previous suggestion?”
“Second Manager, why don’t we cooperate in another way?” Ji Zhao smiled and proposed her idea. “Every ten days, I’ll provide a cold dish to the restaurant. Second Manager, you can buy these delicious cold dishes from me or offer a suitable price to buy up all the cold dishes I make. For example, this Braised Pig’s head will cost about five taels of silver if you include the production cost. Second Shopkeeper, you only need to pay six taels of silver to buy such a good quality Braised Pig’s Head from me.”
“Third Madam Shen, are you really not considering staying in our Hongxing Restaurant as a braised food chef?” Second Shopkeeper You was still unwilling to give up. “Third Madam, don’t worry. The treatment our restaurant will give you will definitely not be bad!”
“Second Manager, I have my own considerations for not being willing to stay in the restaurant.” Ji Zhao smiled, neither servile nor overbearing. “I wonder if Second Manager is willing to agree to my proposed cooperation method?”
Second Manager You pondered for a moment, then asked, “What if I want to directly buy out your recipe for Braised Pig’s Head? How much silver would it cost?”
“A fixed price of fifteen taels,” Ji Zhao said without hesitation. “Also, I’m willing to sign a contract with the you. I definitely won’t sell the secret recipe of this dish a second time within three years.”
“Alright!” Second Manager You was also a straightforward person.
After a friendly discussion, they signed the contract.
When Ji Zhao pressed the red fingerprint on the contract, Second Manager You had already prepared fifteen taels of silver.
“Thank you, Second Manager.” Ji Zhao smiled gratefully and handed two taels of silver to Second Manager You. “This is a small token of my appreciation.”
“Hahahaha!” Second Manager You, who had accepted the two taels of silver, laughed heartily.
In just three days, the Braised Pig’s Head that Hongxing Restaurant had launched had become popular in the entire county.
In the past few days, Ji Zhao had not been idle either.
Carrying a small basket on her back, she searched the entire Shanghe Village and finally found the ingredient she wanted!
“Ah Tao, is this thing really edible?” Second Sister-in-law Shen, who was helping Ah Tao wash the ingredients, could not help but question.
