Chapter 165 The First Customer

Luo Fan didn't know that the waves in Yang Minxia's heart were turbulent. He only knew that the first customer came to the door at last. He greeted her warmly and said:
"Hello customer, you don't need to stand at the door to order, you can take a seat first and then order."

The reason why Luo Fan placed a price board at the entrance on the first floor was not because he required customers to order food at the door.

Luo Fan's main purpose is to remind customers of the approximate price here, don't wait until you go upstairs to find that it doesn't match what you imagined, and then you will be embarrassed.

Yang Minxia touched her wallet, which was still quite full, and mustered up her courage to say, "Well, then I'll go up to the second floor and find a seat."

Walking from the first floor to the second floor, Yang Minxia found that although the decoration of this store is simple, it is still good overall, but it does not meet his high price tag.

Yang Minxia randomly found a small table and sat down directly, scanned the order code on the table, and began to choose the dishes for tonight.

Of course, Luo Fan asked Xiaopang to help make this small ordering program. Since you want to eat your own food, why don't you do something?
This relatively simple small program is very easy for programmers like Xiaopang. Luo Fan applied it to his store just after it opened.

The price displayed on the applet was as exaggerated as the one on the price board. Yang Minxia confirmed the existence of the [-]% off event, and only then did she place an order with confidence.

It's just that these dishes only have prices, not even a picture, which looks very cheap, which makes Yang Minxia a little embarrassed.

After thinking for a long time, she finally chose a more homely mapo tofu and the most expensive tofu fish, hesitated and ordered a cup of 88 yuan soy milk.

As for why she ordered tofu fish, it was because of Yang Minxia's curiosity. She wanted to see what the most expensive dish in this restaurant tasted like, and it was [-]% off now. Wouldn't it be a blood loss not to order the most expensive dish?
As for the staple food, in order to keep her figure, Yang Minxia chose not to eat it with tears in her eyes, and comforted herself silently.

When it was time to confirm, Yang Minxia found out that the restaurant had to pay in advance. Is it because the customer would not like the food and protest against paying the bill?This boss is very self-aware.

Now that she had already sat down, Yang Minxia had no reason to back down, and paid 96.4 yuan with tears in her eyes, which made Yang Minxia's already not very rich situation even worse.

While waiting for the meal, Yang Minxia also took time to look at this magical shop. When she saw the promise, Yang Minxia's eyes lit up. It seemed that the owner of this shop was planning to build a unique restaurant.

As for the rule that one person can only order two dishes, it made Yang Minxia a little funny. Didn't I order three dishes? The boss didn't say anything, she never thought that the soy milk she ordered was a drink.

Perhaps this restaurant is worth looking forward to. Generally speaking, people who can make such a commitment are unlikely to be incompetent, unless the owner is a confident person.

Here, when Luo Fan received the order from the mini program, he also started to prepare food for his first customer.

Then he grabbed a handful of soybeans that had been soaked in water in advance, and felt the condition of the soybeans a little. Luo Fan added the soybeans to the electric stone mill, set the grinding program, and began to prepare other dishes.

The first is Mapo Tofu. Mapo Tofu is one of the traditional dishes in Sichuan Province and is a very famous Sichuan dish.

The main ingredients are: tofu and minced beef, served with some common seasonings. After the dish is cooked, it is spicy, spicy, fresh, fragrant, hot, crispy, tender and alive. It is a very remarkable Sichuan dish.

Spicy, fresh, fragrant, hot and tender are easy to understand, while crispy refers to the refined minced meat, golden in color, not hard red, one by one, crispy in the mouth, and melts when it touches the teeth.

Live refers to a unique skill of Mapo tofu: when the tofu is served on the table, garlic shoots that are inch long stand upright in the bowl, emerald green orchid, and the oil is very bright, as if they have just been picked and chopped from the border, and they are alive.

But the mouth of the folder is all ripe, without any jerky taste.

Since Luo Fan promised not to use ingredients other than beans, the minced meat needed for this dish must not be real minced meat.

However, beans have been used to replace meat since ancient times, which is not difficult for Luo Fan.

Luo Fan had been prepared for a long time, and directly steamed a pot of soybeans on high heat in advance, and kept it warm at a suitable temperature. It was completely enough as an ingredient for making vegetarian meat this time.

Mapo tofu does not require a lot of meat, so Luo Fan simply took some ripe soybeans, first pressed them into a puree with a mud press, and then added appropriate seasonings for seasoning.

Then it was time to test the skills. Luo Fan directly heated the pan to heat the oil, picked up the seasoned soybean paste, and swiped it with chopsticks, and soon a diced bean paste fell into the oil pan.

Luo Fan seems to be a master who is making noodles with a knife. Following his skillful movements, diced bean paste fell into the oil pan one by one, but he didn't use a knife, nor did he slice noodles.

Simply deep-fry the diced soybeans over high heat and then use a strainer to remove them for later use. Now the diced soybeans are no different from minced meat in terms of shape.

Whether it can be made into vegetarian meat that is similar to or even surpasses minced meat is a test of the chef's level, which is naturally no problem for Luo Fan.

The next step is to make mapo tofu. Although mapo tofu seems to be a simple stir-fried tofu with minced meat, it is a test of the chef's skills to meet the requirements of the horoscope.

First of all, the tofu needs to be cut into pieces in advance and soaked in boiling water with salt for 15 minutes, which can ensure the freshness of the tofu to the greatest extent and remove the beany smell.

Luo Fan didn't need to do these things, Zhang Jinxing had already completed this step aside, and for prepared food like tofu, as long as the knife was fine, there would be no problem.

Heat the oil in a pan, Luo Fan puts all the ingredients into the pan and sauté until fragrant. At this time, it is time to add the minced beef. Luo Fan uses vegetarian minced meat to skip this process.

Many kinds of condiments here are actually soy products. Luo Fan originally wanted to use his own condiments, so that the taste would be better, but unfortunately, the time was a little too late.

After all the ingredients were fried until fragrant, Luo Fan added an appropriate amount of water to boil, then added the pre-soaked tofu.

After the tofu is almost cooked, add the prepared vegetarian meat and mix well. Finally, add water starch to thicken it and it is ready to be served out of the pan.

After it was out of the pot, Luo Fan sprinkled a small handful of garlic sprouts on the mapo tofu, and it was considered finished.

Although Luo Fan just sprinkled it casually, all the garlic sprouts stood upright in the bowl, looking really good-looking, and fully met the most difficult requirement of the word "live".

Luo Fan waved his hand to Zhang Jinxing and said, "Apprentice, serve this dish and soy milk first."

While making mapo tofu, Luo Fan had already cooked soy milk.

Through exquisite techniques, Luo Fan can ensure that the nutrition in the soy milk is not destroyed while the soy milk is cooked. The finished soy milk exudes a very strong bean fragrance.

Although the soy milk was already ready, Luo Fan waited for the soy milk to drop to a suitable temperature before asking Zhang Jinxing to bring it up.
