From a barbecue stand to a global gourmet tycoon

Chapter 160 Handicraft

Chu Hao studied the three recipes for a while.

The first is glutinous rice, which can be eaten in many ways, such as Jiangnan rice balls, Yunnan bamboo tube glutinous rice, Hakka glutinous rice cakes, Wenzhou fried dough sticks glutinous rice, Guangxi five-color glutinous rice...

Because glutinous rice itself is soft, glutinous and sweet, it has a natural aroma unique to rice, so no matter how you eat it, you will never get tired of eating it.

Especially in Guizhou Province, in the southeast and other places where ethnic minorities live together, every household will grow glutinous rice, and there are many types.

Such as Hongguangnuo, Baiguangnuo, Zaohuangnuo, Heilannuo, Jinchainuo, Lengshuinuo, Xianghenuo, Chicken feet and so on...

This kind of food has been there for many years, and it has long been inseparable from the local humanities and nature.

The so-called whole village of steamed rice is fragrant, and one mu of fragrant glutinous rice is ten miles fragrant.

Home-made glutinous rice is mostly simple and unpretentious, and does not pay attention to any special cooking methods. Most of it has two flavors: sweet and spicy.

Sprinkle white sugar and primer between the glutinous rice interlayers, knead rice balls one by one, sprinkle sugar bean powder on the surface, eat it while it is hot, the mouth will be black, but the mouth will be sweet.

Chu Hao remembered eating spicy glutinous rice from Guizhou once before.

There are potatoes, bacon or ham, folded ears, kelp, fried peanuts, mustard, and peppers, and then topped with soy sauce, chili noodles, pepper powder, sesame oil, balsamic vinegar, onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings. It is extremely soft and glutinous and has a very rich taste. .

There is also a kind of glutinous rice that he still can't forget, which is rolled into a cake and fried with oil on an iron plate. The glutinous rice cake is wrapped with minced meat that has been marinated in advance and has a rich salt flavor, and many seasonings and side dishes are added. You can even make a Eat eggs wrapped in glutinous rice cakes.

Even without any condiments and side dishes, just eating this glutinous rice pancake with minced meat, the taste is salty and fresh, can make people have endless aftertaste.

In addition to glutinous rice balls, eat them with peas, or stir-fry them directly. Guizhou Province has more spicy flavors, but no matter which one you eat, you should eat them while they are still hot.

The rich sauce penetrates into the gaps of every grain of rice. After one bite, it is hot, sour, salty, crispy and soft. The glutinous rice is mixed with the aroma of spicy oil, which is really refreshing.

And in this recipe given by the system.

The unique flavor of Guizhou Province is described in as many as 1w words.

There are Zhenfeng glutinous rice, Panxian spicy chicken glutinous rice, Southeast five-color glutinous rice, Zunyi pea glutinous rice, and some street stall flavors, such as glutinous rice wrapped in barbecue, bacon glutinous rice, fried glutinous rice dumplings, etc.

There are so many contents, just one glutinous rice, it describes dozens of recipes and taste combinations.

However, in terms of overall flavor, it is the taste of Guizhou Province.

Chu Hao felt that he was making money.

Or... for the 20-point lottery, the content density of the recipes you get will increase accordingly?

Right.

If he spent 20w and only gave him a piece of paper saying it was a recipe, Chu Hao would feel that he was at a loss.

But the three recipes in front of me are a stack of papers, and it takes a lot of time to learn from them.

……

Then there is the flatiron cake.

Chu Hao is a native of Shancheng.

I often ate this stuff when I was a child, but when I grow up, this flavor is indeed rarely seen again.

Its skin is crispy and golden, and the inside is soft and waxy. When you bite into it, hot white air will overflow. If it is in the misty mountain city in winter, it will warm you from your hands to your heart.

Iron Cake is very low-key. The natural slightly sourness of rice milk, the aroma of eggs, the sweetness of white sugar and the natural taste of honey have made it a place in the hearts of people in Shancheng.

Chu Hao recalled the iron cakes he ate at a small stall back then. Rice paste was poured into the molds one by one, and then he carefully observed the heat and turned them over. Dozens of small cake molds were baking on the fire, and the boss skillfully turned them over. , full of ritual sense.

Because the use of open flames is now prohibited, electric stoves are generally used in small stalls, and homemade lids must be covered to ensure that the cake body is heated evenly.

The key point lies in the sour taste inside the flat iron cake.

This has a lot to do with the processing of rice milk.

Mature secrets and techniques can avoid the overly sour taste of flat iron cake. Generally, this is a secret that is not passed down to all kinds of flat iron cake owners.

But in the recipe, how to avoid this problem is clearly written in thousands of words, which is very detailed.

The baked iron cake is the same as the chicken cake, but the taste is completely different. While flipping through the recipes, Chu Hao couldn't help drooling, thinking like flying catkins, recalling the unforgettable flavors he had eaten before.

……

As for the buns...

So much so that the cookbook is presented as almost a thin notebook.

There are many kinds of buns inside, enough for Chu Hao to study for a year!
Kaifeng soup dumplings, Hangzhou steamed buns, Cantonese barbecued pork buns, southern Xinjiang grilled buns... and various fillings, the various tastes are closely related to the kneading of the dough, just the secret hidden in them, just take one out and it will be enough You open a bun shop.

Because the quality is very high.

Chu Hao was sitting on the boss chair in the back kitchen, and the four apprentices in front of him were working hard, while he looked like he was dozing off, but he was browsing the three newly acquired recipes, and he began to plan in his mind when they would be released in the breakfast shop.

Steamed buns are the same as dumplings. Now that we have the foundation of dumplings and sugar pancakes, steamed buns also start with several fillings that are well known to the public.

The soup dumplings are served later, and the Xiaolongbao, three delicacies, red bean paste and vermicelli are served first, and we will try the water first.

Tang Hao has become more and more confident in his noodle dishes. His superb kneading and stuffing inheritance allows him to quickly master the flavors of various noodle dishes. There is no skill in buns. The key lies in the treatment of their folds. Of course, beauty is still To guarantee.

Generally, the owner of a steamed stuffed bun shop will leave some fillings exposed on the folds of the buns, or spread a little stuffing, which is equivalent to a name tag. After steaming, you can see what kind of stuffing the various buns are made of. The busier the shop, the more The more labeling needs to be done.

You can get a special vertical electric stove for Iron Cake, and add a production area outside the kitchen next to the cash register. After all, the location of the back kitchen is well-designed. It doesn’t matter if there is one more or one less, or it can be made directly outside the store. , but that would not be very convenient for Chu Hao.

As for sticky rice...

Chu Hao plans to launch glutinous rice pancakes with minced meat, oily peppers, fried yams and peanuts, and seasonings such as zheer root. People in the mountain city must like this flavor very much. It’s just a test. If the results are good, they will launch bacon one after another. Fried, and even at night, the barbecue restaurant can launch a new glutinous rice barbecue.

There are so many options.

Chu Hao had a headache.

However, it is worth being happy.

……

The next day.

Chu Hao made a special trip to the vegetable market, looking for the high-quality glutinous rice supply stalls, or ran around to buy some ingredients, and discussed with the stall owner about supplying the store. Chu Hao is very popular in the market now. famous.

Most people know that his family owns a barbecue restaurant and is very famous in the university town.

In addition, Chu Hao often goes shopping, and has a good relationship with all the stall owners.

In addition, Chu Hao's family needs the most quantity, and the owner of the entire vegetable market who supplies the goods, his family needs a very large quantity and can make money. Naturally, people will come up to chat with you one after another, and there are even some All kinds of favourites.

Like a landowner, Chu Hao wandered carelessly around the vegetable market, picking vegetables and meat to pick up all the fresh ones. When encountering dirty ones, Chu Hao was not afraid of being heard by others, but made the boss very embarrassed.

If meat is placed in a supermarket, it has to go through various quarantines and checkpoints before it can be sold, but in the vegetable market, the difference in quality is like cloud and mud.

"I want this potato from your family, how much is it per catty?"

"Well, let's talk about it, I want a relatively large quantity, maybe one or two hundred catties a day, and if your yams are still like this, then I will take it."

"Boss, this zigzag root is grown at home? Can I take it all away?"

"These red beans are pretty good...how did you sell them?"

Chu Hao was quite domineering in the vegetable market, manipulating everything. In order to win Chu Hao's favor, the boss of the rival company even started to compete with each other to lower prices, depending on which one could benefit. However, everyone had a tacit understanding, and it wasn't there yet. That kind of limitless level.

Chu Hao naturally saw these situations in his eyes, but for him, as long as the ingredients passed the test with him, it would be easy to say no matter what.

The bosses also know that Chu Hao is generous, but the premise is that the things in his home are good.

Some bosses didn't have any self-knowledge, and even pulled Chu Hao to chat with the vegetables that had been put out for two days, but Chu Hao ignored them.

He is no longer a rookie.

After such a long period of training, he has completely transformed into a seasoned person, with a pair of piercing eyes, and no ingredient can escape his observation.

After coming out of the vegetable market, I drove the Wuling back to the store to study new recipes.

The breakfast shop had just closed. After Chu Hao came back from buying vegetables, the disciples arrived at the shop. Seeing that he wanted to study new things, they didn't dare to bother him.

Now the barbecue shop is running very decently, and the preparations of the apprentices basically don't make any mistakes. This allows Chu Hao to squeeze out a lot of time to study new things.

He only needs to order with vx every day before going to work, and then he can start working directly, and the ingredients are all prepared in advance.

In addition to the efforts of the apprentices, mods also played a huge help.

The time from get off work in the evening to the morning is the most difficult time.

But Chu Hao was full of energy, so he poured the ingredients into the mod, and he could prepare a large amount of finished dumplings the next morning, and then he could cook them directly.

The more troublesome thing is the sugar oil cake, so Chu Hao puts it in the refrigerator to ferment in advance every day.

In short, the more tricks there are, the less time Chu Hao has.

In addition to He Dongdong, Chu Hao recruited two more waiters for the breakfast shop. Because he didn't plan to accept them as apprentices, he recruited them randomly online. Brother's barbecue is not like before. The recruitment information was sent out online, and people quickly responded. .

The visitors were two young men, very young, probably in their early 20s. They had just settled down in the mountain city to work.

Chu Hao asked He Dongdong to lead them. Of course, he could not let go of a certain amount of vigilance. After all, the time they had been together was still short, and the two of them did not know their personalities yet.

Although He Dongdong respected Chu Hao very much, he was full of aura towards these two young men, with the appearance of a small foreman. Every time Chu Hao saw her scolding others, he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

However, he will not interfere with He Dongdong, let alone ask the two waiters to do what they want. As long as they do their jobs well, He Dongdong can discipline them in any way they want.

In short, the salary will not blackmail them. On the contrary, the salary of Chushi BBQ is higher than that of other companies.

Solved the manpower problem.

In the next few days, Chu Hao spent time studying steamed buns, iron cakes, and glutinous rice.

The most difficult one is obviously the iron cake.

It's a craft.

Use rice, oil, eggs, syrup and other ingredients to cook it in a iron bowl before eating.

There are two kinds of tastes: sweet and salty. From the time of selecting the soaked rice, 4 hours have passed. The rice is steamed in a cage, mixed with the soaked rice, ground into rice milk with water, and stirred with a wooden stick after fermentation. Chu Hao tried this procedure many times.

It requires stirring to the extent that it does not stick to the cylinder, and the inner wall of the cylinder should be smooth.

After that, the sourness needs to be removed and stirred into cake paste.

With the help of systematic recipes, this is the most difficult problem for many iron cake craftsmen, but it can be easily solved in front of Chu Hao.

The recipe has detailed steps on how to remove the acid.

Among them, the ratio and dosage of alkali and clean water, the strength and speed of mixing while adding, and some small secrets are not worth mentioning, but they are a test of water milling skills.

Put the special iron bowl on the coke fire, after it is heated, brush it with water and oil, scoop in the cake paste, and when it is baked to the cover, add an appropriate amount of jam in the middle of the cake, and continue to bake until the skin is light yellow.

When the crust is hardened, loosen the sides of the cake with a thin iron stick, turn over and pour a little cooked lard, and bake until both sides are golden yellow, the skin is soft and crispy, and the cake juice is all solidified.

Put it in a baking bowl and flip it until golden brown, and the iron cake is out of the oven.

Turning cakes with iron sticks is also a handicraft.

The technical difficulties here were recorded by Chu Hao in batches after several experiments, and then they were overcome one by one.

Like a scientist who focuses on searching for the truth, he spends time tirelessly on this humble snack, and what he finally gets is his own experience.

Chu Hao has the god-level passive skill [Hidden God Meditation].

The learning speed is very fast, and the ability to absorb experience is also very strong.

Every time you try, new variations emerge.

Such changes are not improvements, but progress.

The iron electric stove he had specially made was not placed in front of the cash register, but placed next to the vertical wall outside the back kitchen door, and a plugboard was pulled out to facilitate Chu Hao's movement in the kitchen. It is also more convenient for Chu Hao to walk back and forth while eating iron cakes.

The most troublesome thing is the 4 hours of soaking rice.

This time is very difficult to arrange.

If the arrangement is not good, all the processes will be delayed.

It really gave Chu Hao a headache for a long time.

Lu Chenyu has been here several times.

Seeing that Chu Hao was making iron cakes, he was very excited.

She also grew up eating this.

Although he didn't know where Chu Hao learned the skill, he excitedly pulled Chu Hao's arm and asked him to teach him.

Chu Hao never thought of letting Lu Chenyu come into the store to help with work.

In his thinking, it doesn't really matter whether Lu Chenyu goes to work or not. She can go if she wants to, and she can't if she doesn't want to. Anyway, it's good to go shopping, eat, drink, play and play, and it's not that she can't afford it.

But when Lu Chenyu begged him to teach him, Chu Hao finally agreed.
