Food starts with noodles

Xu Zhuo didn't have much resistance to the cleaning job.

As a chef, you have to be able to handle any ingredient.

Mushrooms and county liver are not only ingredients for lo-mei, but also widely used in hot pot, skewers, and Bobo chicken, and have a wide audience.

But for Xu Zhuo, the marinated taste is better.

When he was in college, he especially liked to buy the vacuum-packed duck from the Internet, and the county liver, which does not need to spit out bones, was his favorite.

After all, it doesn't affect the game.

Unlike duck heads, duck necks and duck wings, you have to spit out bones, which is troublesome.

The finished county liver and fungus handles that I bought had been preliminarily cleaned, and they didn't look very dirty, at least there would be no colorful feces or anything like that.

But even so, it still had to be cleaned up.

As soon as it was soaked in cold water, the unique smell of internal organs floated out.

Cleaning these two things is actually very simple, just tear off the outer layer of mucous membrane and then wash it clean.

After washing, wash it twice with clean water to ensure the absolute hygiene of the ingredients.

Many stewed pork shops just wash the braised meat indiscriminately, and some people even think that if it is too clean, it will lose the smell of internal organs, and it will not taste good.

Xu Zhuo felt that this was pure nonsense.

It is impossible to clean this kind of internal organs without a trace of smell, so there is no contradiction between this and cleanliness.

You can't deliberately not wash it so clean just because you want to "smell".

Of course, if a visceral ingredient has no smell, there are only two cases, one is that it has been washed with strong alkali, and the other is that it has been soaked in formalin for a long time.

Both of these are not very good for the body, so try to eat as little as possible.

Xu Zhuo and Cao Kun chattered about the matters to be paid attention to when cleaning this kind of ingredients, while working swiftly.

This kind of food has a characteristic, that is, it will feel different after cleaning.

The unwashed internal organs are sticky to the touch, and the more they rub, the stickier they become.

However, although the cleaned internal organs may look sticky, they feel slightly astringent to the touch.

In this case, it is considered clean.

Put the washed county liver and bacteria into the pot with cold water, and then blanch them with high-grade white wine to further remove the peculiar smell on the ingredients.

After blanching, the rest is marinated.

Unlike large-scale braised products such as pig's trotters and pig's head, this kind of braised meat should not be marinated for too long, otherwise the meat will be cooked in the pot.

Moreover, county liver and fungus are both ingredients that win by their taste. If they are cooked for a long time, the two ingredients will become soft and have no taste at all.

Therefore, the stewed soup for stewing such ingredients must be heavy and flavorful.

When Cao Kun was preparing the marinade, Xu Zhuo was a little surprised. Spices such as prickly ash were put in the pot for free, and even dried chili was put in half a pot.

Except that the salt content is similar to other braised soups, all other spices are added.

And not only that, Cao Kun also scooped half a pot of old soup from the pot of stewed sheep's feet and poured it into the pot.

The corner of Xu Zhuo's mouth twitched, feeling that this pot of stewed soup was much more expensive than two boxes of ingredients, and it would be a big loss if the prepared stewed meat couldn't be sold.

The stewed soup tastes better the more it is cooked, and the more it is cooked, the more spices it saves.

But if a pot of stewed soup is only used once, even Sifang Restaurant can't stand such a waste.

After all, the prices of some spices are very high, which makes Xu Zhuo somewhat regret it.

I'm so impulsive, I would have done a small survey or something if I knew it.

But until now, we can only hope that the lo mei made by Cao Kun can be delicious, and at the same time, Yuan Kang's promotion and marketing can keep up.

Xu Zhuo is not very clear about the current situation on the Internet.

He didn't intend to pay attention to this matter, after all, seeing it once is social death once, and Boss Xu is a decent person, so let's continue to be an ostrich.

You can't put the ingredients directly in the stewed soup, you have to boil it for an hour first to get out the aroma of the spices, so that when you put the ingredients again, it can be stewed as quickly as possible.

An hour later, Xu Zhuo had already had his breakfast.

When he came to the brine department, Cao Kun had already poured both ingredients into the pot.

At the same time, reduce the heat to a low level, so as not to overcook the ingredients.

To make stewed meat, not only the stewed soup is the key, but also the stewed time is also very important.

For example, today's Xiaojun liver and fungus must be stewed in the stewed soup for 15 minutes before turning off the heat, and then soaked in the stewed soup for another 10 minutes.

The county liver and fungus made in this way will have a strong taste and a full taste.

Cao Kun triumphantly introduced Xu Zhuo's experience and experience in making lo-mei, and even took out the duck head that he had nothing to do recently for Xu Zhuo to eat.

This made Xu Zhuo very emotional.

Sure enough, he does what he does and loves what he does. Cao Kun is now in charge of the food department. He not only handles the tasks in the store and online business in an orderly manner, but also has time to think about dishes that are not in the store.

Is this implying that the burden I put on him is too light?

Well, since that's the case, then give him some more tasks.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo said to Cao Kun: "Brother Kun, if we set up a small window outside the lobby to sell stewed vegetables, do you think it will work?"

Cao Kun:? ? ? ?

He was a little confused, but after being confused, he nodded heavily.

"It's ok, but it needs to be designed well so as not to affect the overall appearance of the store. If it's done well, there won't be any problems with the stewed food department."

Xu Zhuo was originally joking with Cao Kun, but unexpectedly he actually agreed.

And after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is really room for manipulation in this matter.

Anyway, there is a small compartment for processing chili oil outside, and it is not impossible to add another window to the outside.

To make money, you can't always think about beauty.

Putting money in your pocket is the skill.

Thinking of this, he was just about to go to Guan Junjie and others to discuss it, when the system's notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding, the host has completed the hidden task [open source and reduce expenditure], and reward the high-quality cooking skill - red stew, congratulations to the host."

Chapter 1034 Help each other

Does this work too?

Originally, Xu Zhuo was still in the mood of social death, and he was not in a good mood.

Of course, this kind of thing is like the browsing history being made public, and even the most thoughtful people will not be happy.

But the unexpected reward made Xu Zhuo feel much happier.

Damn chicken, social death is nothing, earning money is the ability.

Xu Zhuo didn't make it immediately after getting the skill of red bittern.

After all, Cao Kun just made county liver and fungus. If he made other lo-mei immediately, wouldn't he be slapping his employees in the face.

The most urgent thing is to get the small window open first.

After all, the rewards have already been obtained, if you don't get it out quickly, maybe something will happen.

Xu Zhuo came upstairs and informed several members of the store to come to the meeting.

Because Yuan Kang stayed up late last night, he hasn't shown up at 09:30, but there is no rush, anyway, he will definitely come to the store for breakfast when he wakes up.

After all, save money.

Ten minutes later, when Tang Xiaoying hurried over from the company, the meeting started.

Everyone was very busy, so Xu Zhuo briefly expressed his idea of ​​opening a small window.

This proposal made Guan Junjie and Tang Xiaoying hesitate.

The reason for Guan Junjie's hesitation is that the pressure on the back kitchen is already high. If the window is opened again, the people in the stew department will be busier. From the manager's point of view, he is not in favor of doing so.

Although increasing sales is important, the stability of the back kitchen is also critical.

Once everyone can't bear it or makes mistakes in dishes due to panic, it will have an immeasurable impact on the store.

So Guan Junjie hesitated, wondering if he should agree to Xu Zhuo.

The reason for Tang Xiaoying's hesitation was simple. She was just worried that it would be embarrassing if there were no customers if she spent so much money.

Opening windows requires decoration, which costs money;

You need to buy equipment and utensils, and you have to spend money;

It takes money to hire staff to take care of this;

It is necessary to increase the quantity of purchased ingredients and spend money;

……

There are too many places to spend money. If no customers buy after all the tossing, the money will be thrown away for nothing.

Others may not feel anything, just trial and error, it's normal.

But as the financial director, he is responsible for the profit of the store.

If the profit keeps going down, even if others don't say anything, Tang Xiaoying can't hold back her face.

So she actually controls the store's expenses very tightly, after all, she can't live up to the trust of the boss.

The hesitation of the two gave Zheng Jia a chance to speak. Contrary to the two, Zheng Jia was very supportive of Xu Zhuo's proposal.

"Great, it's time for us to have a window. After our store became famous, many people made a special trip to buy sweet-skinned duck or something. They waited in the lobby to take it home at meal time, so that those who came to eat I thought I had to wait in line, so the waiter had to explain one by one.”

Well now, there is no need to explain, and customers who buy lo-mei don't need to be in the lobby, either standing or sitting or waiting for the lo-mei to be packed.

Best of both worlds!

Zheng Jia's words made Tang Xiaoying no longer hesitate.

Since you can make money, the sooner you start, the better.

After all, in the eyes of businessmen, the money not earned is equivalent to losing.

She looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "Should Xue Chunfeng come this time? Do you need to plan it first?"

Xu Zhuo nodded: "Let Xue Chunfeng come here. You don't need to design much. Just find a corner outside and open a window. It's enough for two or three square meters."

Only Guan Junjie said hesitantly, "The pressure from the back kitchen..."

Xu Zhuo waved his hand: "Add more people to the stewed food department. If there are not enough people, you can recruit more. You can add bonuses and so on, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of the employees."

Now that the boss has said so, Guan Junjie naturally no longer shirks, and agrees wholeheartedly.

The Sifang Restaurant had decided to open a stewed product window. Zheng Jia began to contact Xue Chunfeng to increase the window, and Tang Xiaoying began to purchase the equipment for the window, such as counters and the like.

Guan Junjie went to the back kitchen and began to discuss with Cao Kun the types and quantities of stewed products in the window.

After Xu Zhuo went downstairs, he saw Yuan Kang was sitting in the store eating mutton soup with a piece of noodle bread, and while eating, he put mutton oil and chili in the bowl, obviously he was very obsessed with the taste.

Seeing Xu Zhuo, Yuan Kang was not polite: "The Internet is going to kill you now, you and your school are set on fire."

Xu Zhuo was not surprised by this.

Even a small company on my side can receive work from the Ge family, and the other party is determined to use data.

Moreover, the college entrance examination is coming soon, and reading this news at this hour can even arouse everyone's hatred.

But Xu Zhuo was very calm about this.

He was not afraid of the crooked shadow, and he didn't feel that the matter had reached the point of no return.

He looked at Yuan Kang and asked, "What did my school say?"

Yuan Kang scooped up a piece of mutton with a spoon and put it into his mouth, chewed and said, "What can I say? It's a private school with three books, and its main focus is on the somewhat outdated computer science.

To put it bluntly, this kind of school is just a private technical school with undergraduate qualifications. It is used to gild the children of rich people. Everyone knows what's going on.
