Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 414 Good Master
After figuring this out, Chen Nian realized that it wasn't that he was not capable enough before, nor did he make any mistakes in the middle, but that he really didn't know enough about the Bai case.

The previous making of noodles and this time making buns are different in many places.

After figuring this out, Chen Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it is estimated that it will take another two or three days for the Xiao Long Bao to come out.

But at this moment, he subconsciously glanced at the time, and found that it was already [-]:[-] in the morning.

"No, no, no, I'm going to sleep, I'm going to sleep."

"The dog's life is important, and I have to get up early to make noodles tomorrow."

He Hai will have another day off tomorrow, so he has to go there early.

Now that the noodles have been launched, it can be expected that more people will come here tomorrow, especially in the morning.

Originally, the passenger flow in the morning could not be compared with that at noon and evening, but it may be different starting tomorrow.

Because many Sichuanese are used to eating noodles in the morning, they may not be used to eating noodles with scallion oil before, but the small noodles are different.

And coupled with the whole day of publicity today, there will definitely be many people who will be moved by the news.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian quickly closed his eyes, and gradually fell asleep listening to the cross talk in his ears.

……

The next day, Chen Nian came to the shop early in the morning and started making toppings and noodles.

After everyone gradually came together, they also began to help Chen Nian share the pressure, but there was nothing else to do at this time.

Although the store can be busy without He Hai, after all, there is one more person's workload, and this workload is basically added to Chen Nian.

But just as he was about to close the stall in the morning, Chen Nian suddenly found that Uncle Niu had also come.

Today, Uncle Niu is wearing a white pair of ribs and shorts on his lower body.

He also had a stereo in his hand.

"Let's have a bowl of plain noodles, a little lighter, with a little chili."

Since Uncle Niu came late, there was no one in the store at this time. After making the noodles, Chen Nian took the noodles out with his own hands and put them on Uncle Niu's table.

"Master, are you going to dance in the square again today?" Chen Nian saw the sweat on the other's forehead.

"Yeah, I'm going to dance again today." Uncle Niu nodded.

"Are there many people today?"

"It's okay, since I listened to your new songs last time, many young people who went to the park to exercise and take a walk in the morning also started to dance with me. As a result, the women came back to join in the fun after seeing it.

Recently, I have been thinking about finding some new songs and choreographing a few dances so that I can dance for a while longer, lest those young people get tired of dancing for a long time. "

Chen Nian nodded: "That's true, Mr. Niu, how about I recommend a few more songs for you? If you think it works, use it, and if you don't think it's not, then look for it."

Uncle Niu nodded: "Okay, then I will trouble you. I still don't understand you in this regard. You are all young people. I don't know what you like to listen to when I am old. Anyway, you just listen to you young people often. Just download the song for me, and when the time comes, I will go back and slowly choreograph the dance.”

"no problem!"

Uncle Niu’s stereo is equipped with a memory card, and Chen Nian’s store also has a card reader, so Chen Nian directly put the songs he often listens to recently and some popular songs into Uncle Niu’s computer on the store’s computer. in the SD card.

What braised pork, Wensi tofu, rouge goose recipe, noodles with scallion oil, dragon boxing, compendium of materia medica, etc...

I didn't download too much, there were only a dozen songs before and after.

After all, Uncle Niu was going to use these songs to choreograph dances, and he made too many songs at once, and Uncle Niu couldn't handle them.

"Uncle Niu, I've downloaded the song for you. Go back and listen to it. If you don't like it or feel inappropriate, just delete it. If you want to download any new songs, come to me and I'll download it for you. "

"Thank you so much." This made Uncle Niu very happy.

"By the way, Uncle Niu, how is your live broadcast going?"

"That's it, no one is watching anyway..." Uncle Niu didn't care much about it, anyway, it would be nice if some people danced along with him during the square dance. Fight alone.

Since An Hongdou went to Yangzhou for work reasons, she probably didn't have much time to call herself, so she could send WeChat occasionally.

When there are no other distracting thoughts in mind, the work is quite serious, whether it is the work during the day or the birthday banquet at night, he is very serious.

And in serious work, time flies by very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was night again, and Chen Nian didn't even feel tired until now.

Continue to improve the Xiaolongbao according to yesterday's method. This time, the progress of the Xiaolongbao made in the old age has directly reached 99.6%, which means that the rest is only proficiency points.

On the second night, the aging continued to make, and this time the aging was done to 100% in one breath.

And today is also the day when He Hai came back, so Chen Nian kept He Hai after get off work at night, and taught him all the key points of Chongqing noodles.

"Thank you Master, Master, I will definitely work hard!" He Hai was overjoyed, he never thought that he would learn something new.

Because when he took his father out to play these two days, his father told him.

In the past, apprentices in restaurants had to go through a long period of experience, not to mention cooking in the stove. They had to go through a long period of experience. They first worked as handymen for two years, and then worked for three years. Stand alone in the hall.

Many people spend their whole lives working as waiters.

So let alone cooking.

Now there are not many masters like Chen Nian who are willing to teach others, especially Chen Nian still has many unique skills.

He Hai studied very seriously.

Chen Nian told He Hai while making Xiaolongbao, but when He Hai was listening, he didn't go to see how to make Xiaolongbao at all, but recorded all the key points of making Xiaolongbao wholeheartedly.

Originally, He Hai had already practiced the practice of Chongqing small noodles at home for a long time, and this time, after Chen Nian's careful guidance, many things that he didn't understand before became clear this time.

"Then make two bowls of noodles first, and we'll eat together when the steamed buns are ready," Chen Nian said.

"Good master."

Put the prepared bun stuffing into the refrigerator to chill, and the dough is covered with proofer. There is nothing to do now, Chen Nian stands aside and watches He Hai make the noodles.

But I have to say that He Hai still has quite a talent in making.

The ratio of flour, water, alkaline noodles, and salt is very precise.

Even if there were some slight deviations, after Chen Nian pointed out a few times, He Hai could quickly keep it firmly in his mind, and he would never make such a mistake again next time.

It's just that thinking about it now, when he was in Shanghai, Master He taught himself very carefully, but his foundation in white cases was relatively poor at that time, so the progress was a little slower.

Moreover, the difference between myself and Master He at the beginning is that Master He has a relatively more irritable temper, and after thinking about it, I seem to have never scolded He Hai when he couldn't make noodles.

Of course, this is also related to the current environment.

After all, he is a young man, what if he scolds and runs away?
The noodles made by He Hai also need a certain period of time to wake up, but He Hai also woke up the noodles when the old steamed steamed buns started to steam.

After the old steamed steamed buns were finished, the noodles made by He Hai also came out of the pan.

Just looking at the color and thickness of the noodles, there is no problem with the aging. It is presumably that He Hai has laid a solid foundation for the previous six months of high-intensity and repeated cooking of scallion noodles.

But Chen Nian thought about it again when he was thinking about Chongqing small noodles, it seemed that the speed was not slow. Basically, a kind of noodles can be prepared in two days at most, and if it is fast, it can be done in one go.

Finally, He Hai put the small noodles into the bowl according to Chen Nian's taste, and Chen Nian also took two drawers of buns outside.

"This side is well done." Chen Nian couldn't help admiring after seeing it.

Just by looking at it like this, it is basically difficult to distinguish the real from the small noodles sold outside.

"This is all taught by Master. If I had to do it myself, I would definitely not be able to achieve this level. Master, to be honest, there is not much age difference between us, but I just admire you! If it weren't for you, I would Now maybe I’m still serving the dishes somewhere, and it’s better to be able to chop vegetables in the kitchen.” He Hai also looked at the face in front of him and said seriously.

Before he came to Sichuan, he never thought that he would be able to be in charge of a restaurant alone in just half a year, and he was in charge of the signboard in the store.

When he said at home that he wanted to go out, everyone laughed at him, but now he has proved himself in just half a year.

Although it is said that in the past six months, all He Hai has done is repetitive work. When he comes to the store every day, he boils scallion oil with noodles, and then helps everyone with the work of preparing dishes. .

But he usually listens and reads. When Chen Nian taught Xie Yu, he also heard that a lot of theoretical knowledge is actually very important. Although he didn't do it himself, at least he can watch the cooking methods every day. get.

And everyone didn't hide it.

To be honest, even if He Hai goes back to his hometown and doesn't make noodles, he can still open a small restaurant with the dishes he learned. At least it will be no problem to start a small business in his hometown.

It's just that He Hai still prefers making noodles.

"Needless to say so much, just do it well. I'll teach you Xiaolongbao when you learn the noodles. I'll give you a salary increase after you have mastered the kung fu of these white cases." Chen Nian said.

He Hai nodded heavily, he knew that since Chen Nian said so, he would definitely do it!

Because Chen Nian is not like other bosses who only say one thing and do a good job. As for when the salary will be raised, they will only say one thing in the future or the kind of illusory answer that is similar to waiting for your ability to improve.

After dinner, Chen Nian drove He Hai to his home on an electric bike.

"Okay, let's go back first, and when your girlfriend comes, you can also bring it to the store. The girlfriend who recruited my sister often comes these days. Anyway, they are all family members. It's the same to eat here. .”

"Don't worry, Master, it will take a while before she comes here, and I will definitely take her to the store then." He Hai said as he saw Chen Nian turn the car around and prepare to go home, "Master, slow down on the road."

Chen Nian didn't answer, but raised his hand very coolly and waved it.

"This movement seems really cool, no wonder Brother Liu does it every day." After letting go of his hand, Chen Nian couldn't help thinking in his heart.

But when Chen Nian thinks about it, he can make 100% of the steamed buns, which is actually not bad.

Because just yesterday, when Chen Nian checked the information, he found a lot of amazing things, these are all kinds of face powder or spices.

Moreover, these seasonings are widely used in the production of food stall snacks, such as: "special fresh powder", "special fragrance powder", "spicy and smelly dry ingredients", "special fresh No. 1", "spice No. 4", " Bone Flavoring Agent AA", "Bone Flavoring Agent-AAA", "Hot Pot Fragrance Agent", "Hot Pot Flavoring Cream", "One Drop of Fragrance", "Grilled Fish Paste", "Zhuge Grilled Fish Fragrance Agent ", "Secret Huajia King", "Liangpi King", "Ma La Tang Balm", "Roast Duck Essential Oil", "Chicken Essential Oil", "Lard Essential Oil", "Beef Essential Oil", "Thousand Lixiang", "Wanli Xiang" , "Gu Li Xiang", "Ethyl Maltol", "AAA Fragrance", "Big Shell Devil Seed Essential Oil", "Manston Essence", "Hundred Seed Balm", "Duck Neck Fragrance", "Big White oil (tobacco seed oil)", "Meat Fragrance", "Salted Flavor Enhancer", "High Power Meat Extract", "American Meat Fragrance King", "Salt Baked Flavor", "Big Bone Soup Paste", "Sheep Soup", "Old Oil", "Hot Pot Red", "Chili Red", "Shu Xin Crisp" and so on...

These are just a few of them.

I used to know that there are many seasonings similar to hot pot fragrance, hot pot flavoring paste, meat fragrance treasure, etc., but I didn't know there were so many!

And for example, the spice No. 4 is generally used for Xiaolongbao, and special flavor powder is often used for making wontons, and the soup in many restaurants uses special fresh No. 1 and flavor enhancer AAA.

And when I saw this yesterday, Chen Nian suddenly remembered that when I was in college, I sometimes ate rice noodles or the porridge made from Malatang, which seemed to have an unusual taste.

Also, after eating ham sausage, it feels like ham sausage.

Sure enough, the ability of this spice to taste is too strong.

However, Chen Nian didn't want to be a revealer of the inside story of the industry. Anyway, these things are very common in the eyes of insiders, and Chen Nian can't control what others do. Anyway, just do yourself well. .

If you can cook well, you should work hard to learn it, and if you can’t cook it, don’t cook it. Anyway, there are so many cuisines in China, and there are more than thousands of dishes. Even if you spend your whole life alone, you may not be able to learn it all. .

In this way, another two days passed, and the sour plum soup that should have sold the number of copies yesterday did not reach the number until today.

That's because Chen Nian has not yet achieved 100% Xiaolongbao, so he wants to postpone it for a day or two, so he reduces the number of servings of sour plum soup every day.

Although this will cause some customers to complain, it is good to adjust the sour plum soup after learning about Xiaolongbao and introducing new dishes.

And in a month or two, the cake shop at my cousin's side will be renovated, and there will be unlimited servings of sour plum soup every day.

So today is the day when Xiaolongbao is officially launched in the store.

When Chen Nian came early, he wrote a basket of xiaolongbao at eight yuan on the wooden sign and hung it up, and then he started to get busy.

Gradually, guests came to the door.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw rows of small steaming drawers in the kitchen through the glass window...
