Food starts with noodles

The fat in the sweet and sour sauce adds fragrance, which is combined with a smooth taste, making the dishes very pleasant to eat.

This taste, coupled with the crispy outside and tender fish inside, makes people feel full of happiness in their hearts.

And under careful tasting, you can also taste the elastic texture of the fish skin, which makes the fish in your mouth more layered and more enjoyable to eat.

"It's delicious! It's so delicious, Grandpa Zheng, your craftsmanship is awesome!"

Zheng Guangyao waved his hands with a smile, "This dish is still cooked by Lao Yu in a more authentic way, and I'm almost ready."

Although there is an element of modesty in this statement, I have to say that the old man and his group of state banquet chefs admire Pei Yong.

Not only is Yu Peiyong the only one among them who has learned all the eight major cuisines, but more importantly, Yu Peiyong is relatively humble, like a modest gentleman, everyone is naturally willing to make friends with him.

On the other hand, the old man, if it wasn't for Xu Zhuo's presence, he probably wouldn't be able to urinate with anyone.

After eating the fish on the plate, Xu Zhuo drove back to the shop, planning to try Zheng Guangyao's way of making sweet and sour sauce.

If it works, there will be it in the future, if not, use the previous method.

As for the squirrel mandarin fish, although he can't make this dish, he knows how to eat carp three times. Among them, the sweet and sour fish slices can be made with mandarin fish.

The final appearance may not be as outstanding as squirrel mandarin fish, but the taste and texture should not be much different.

After all, eating carp three times is a C-level skill anyway, and as long as Xu Zhuo is willing, he can immediately upgrade to B-level.

While doing it, Xu Zhuo smacked his lips, reminiscing about the squirrel mandarin fish he ate just now. He always felt that it was a bit unsatisfactory. After thinking about it, he fished out a mandarin fish from the water tank, slaughtered it, took the mandarin fish meat, and cut it into thick slices. , after marinating, hang the batter and deep-fry, and then pour the sweet and sour sauce just made.

Originally, he just thought about the addiction of eating squirrel mandarin fish, but he didn't expect that when he was done, the system's prompt sound suddenly sounded in his mind.

"The host uses the cooking skills he has learned to creatively make a new dish - sweet and sour mandarin fish slices. A special reward is the D-level signature cooking skill - coriander burst. Congratulations to the host."

Chapter 1246 Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish Slices

Coriander burst?

It took Xu Zhuo a while to realize what the technique was.

The so-called coriander refers to coriander, which is coriander.

The coriander burst is the technique of using coriander stalks to stir-fry dishes.

As condiments are widely used and off-season vegetables are becoming more and more common, the relatively old technique of coriander bursting is becoming less and less popular.

Although you can occasionally see a coriander-flavored dish, it has been reduced to the level of a side dish, and it is no longer the same as it used to be.

Coriander burst is a common dish in winter at first.

In the past, there were basically no green vegetables every winter, and the only thing that could be bought was parsley, which is relatively cold-tolerant.

But coriander leaves are not resistant to freezing, especially after snowfall, the coriander leaves picked out from the snow will soon dry up and rot, leaving only the coriander stalks.

But even if there are only coriander stalks left, you can't throw them away, and you can cook them.

Some rich people cut coriander stalks into sections and stir-fry them with beef and mutton. It is a fresh taste in the cold winter, and the unique aroma of coriander can also remove the greasy meat, making the dishes taste very delicious. refreshing.

In this type of dish, beef and mutton are only side dishes, which are used with coriander stalks.

At that time, whenever coriander-flavored dishes were served on the table, there would be applause from all the audience. No way, everyone couldn’t eat any green vegetables in winter. Rich people had all kinds of meat, and poor people had all kinds of pickled vegetables. The only thing that can be stored in winter is probably Chinese cabbage.

So when I suddenly saw green dishes, and they were so greasy, even the most reserved people would subconsciously pick as much as possible when they saw this kind of dishes.

After all, this kind of dish will be sold out when it comes to the table.

Those who are lucky can add more coriander, and those who are unlucky can only eat beef and mutton.

In other dishes, it is definitely good luck to get meat, but in this dish, the protagonist is always the crispy and greasy parsley, and all other meats are topped.

Xu Zhuo sighed helplessly, and sure enough, he made a random dish, and the reward was also random.

There is no market for coriander frying skills now, especially as more and more people don’t eat coriander, and people usually don’t lack vegetables at all, so few people order this dish in restaurants.

But since the system gave it to him, Xu Zhuo couldn't return or exchange it, so he had to keep it first.

What if it can be used later?

After all, the skills given by the system are not useless yet. There will definitely be opportunities to use skills in the future, but it is not certain how long it will take.

Xu Zhuo put away his thoughts and began to taste the sweet and sour mandarin fish slice that he had just created.

This dish was made by Xu Zhuo just now. He doesn't know how to cook squirrel mandarin fish, and he wanted to eat squirrel mandarin fish again, so he can only fry the boneless mandarin fish slices and drizzle the fried mandarin fish. Sweet and sour sauce.

As for the taste...

Xu Zhuo picked up a slice of fried mandarin fish, which was unexpectedly delicious.

It is even more enjoyable to eat than squirrel mandarin fish.

The biggest feature of this dish of squirrel mandarin fish is that it looks good, and the knives on the surface can hang a lot of sweet and sour sauce.

But it is because there are too many knives and the frying area is too large, so that this delicious dish can only slightly taste the fresh and tender taste of mandarin fish.

This is why squirrel mandarin fish can be replaced with carp.

After all, the frying area is too large, and the tenderness of the fish cannot be reflected. Even if the fish is changed, the customer will not notice it under normal circumstances.

But this sweet and sour mandarin fish fillet is different.

This dish uses mandarin fish fillets cut into large pieces. After deep-fried, although the surface is crispy and delicious like squirrel mandarin fish, the fish inside is relatively large.

When eating, you can perfectly taste the fresh and tender taste of mandarin fish. You can even feel it with your tongue. After the fish fillet is bitten open, the fish meat inside bursts open.

Very charming.

The word Miaoman is usually used to describe beauties, but it is very appropriate to use it on this dish at the moment.

Xu Zhuo ate half of this dish in one go, and seeing Guo Xingwang approaching, he gave him the remaining half of sweet and sour mandarin fish slices: "This is a new dish I plan to serve, how about you try it. "

Guo Xingwang was only thinking about the stinky mandarin fish, and when he saw that Xu Zhuo fried it with mandarin fish fillets, he immediately murmured with pity, "Why did you fry such a good fish, it's too wasteful, such a good fish The fish family is suitable for making stinky mandarin fish, what does your fish do with sweet and sour carp... Hey, this taste is not bad!"

As the middle-level leader of the back kitchen, Guo Xingwang naturally often eats the two dishes of sweet and sour carp and sweet and sour fish fillet, and has a clear understanding of the texture and taste of the two dishes.

That's why he didn't understand Xu Zhuo's addition of sweet and sour mandarin fish slices.

I always feel that these dishes overlap too much.

But when he tasted the sweet and sour mandarin fish slices, he realized that making mandarin fish is indeed better than carp. In addition, mandarin fish has fewer spines and no messy spines like carp, so it is very comfortable to eat. There is no need to worry about being stuck in the throat by fishbone.

Moreover, the sweet and sour mandarin fish slices become more umami and delicious as you chew them, as if this is the fish that is most in tune with the sweet and sour flavor, and the sweet and sour carp that was the main dish in the store before is just a make up.

After Guo Xingwang ate two slices, he called Jianguo to taste it.

This is the cleverness of Guo Xingwang. He doesn't eat alone and knows how to win over people who are close to the boss.

After Jianguo ate it, he also thought it was good, but he asked a question: "Xu Zhuo, if this dish is new, can we still cook that carp three times?"

There are sweet and sour carp slices in the three dishes of carp. If the new sweet and sour mandarin fish slices are introduced, it will definitely impact the sweet and sour carp slices, and even the sales of three meals with carp will drop.

This question made Xu Zhuo realize that his decision-making was a bit hasty.

For this kind of thing, we should have a meeting to discuss it first, and then make a decision based on everyone's opinions. Otherwise, it will be decided that the new version will not be updated after such a slap in the face, which will definitely affect the normal operation of the store.

At the moment, Sifang Restaurant is on the cusp of the storm, and every move is watched by people.

If someone catches the boss talking about something, it will definitely have a bad influence.

So Xu Zhuo thought it would be better to hold a meeting to talk about this matter, and make a decision after seeing everyone's opinions.

He was just about to inform Guan Junjie, Zheng Jia and others to meet in the small conference room, when Guo Xingwang pointed to the fish head, fish tail, fish spine, fish ribs and other parts that Xu Zhuo had just cut off, and asked curiously: "Xu Zhuo, just throw away these things like this? It's a waste. Let's make some soup. The mandarin fish soup actually tastes very good..."

soup?

After Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, he suddenly thought of an idea: "How about eating three carp and two mandarin fish last time, so that not only can avoid overlap, but also the price should be comparable if the carp is replaced by mandarin fish. Move up a bit, what do you think?"

Chapter 1247 I still have to rely on Yuan Kang to break the game

No matter how good the taste of carp dishes are, the price is not high. After all, it is obvious to all that carp is cheap, even if it is wild carp, the price is not too expensive.

Of course, it is still unknown whether the so-called wild carp in the vegetable market are real or not.

Anyway, the price of carp will not be too high, which makes it impossible to charge high prices for carp dishes. After all, everyone knows what the market price is.

If you ask for a high price, isn't it taking customers for a fool?

That's why many high-end restaurants don't serve carp dishes.

But mandarin fish is different. You can tell that mandarin fish is not cheap when you hear its name. In addition, it is also a rare fish, and its price is much higher than that of carp.

The price of mandarin fish is high, and the dishes made are naturally more worthy of the price.

So Xu Zhuo is more inclined to keep the sweet and sour Yellow River carp dish, and then replace the three carp dishes with two mandarin fish dishes.

Xu Zhuo didn't directly notify everyone of the meeting, but took out another mandarin fish from the water tank, quickly made a slice of sweet and sour salmon, and then made a soup with the leftovers of the mandarin fish with tofu.

There is not much meat in the soup, but the soup is thick and white, and with the blessing of tofu, the taste is very delicious. For those who like to drink soup, it is definitely a delicacy not to be missed.

After these two things were done, Xu Zhuo notified everyone of the meeting, and asked Guo Xingwang to help bring these two dishes to the meeting room.

Regarding new things, the store always speaks with facts, that is to say, if you want to make new things, you have to let everyone taste them first, and then vote for new things.

Of course, Xu Zhuo is the boss, and every time Xu Zhuo wants to serve a new dish, the taste is super delicious, so the votes are always unanimous.

Even before everyone voted, the purchasing department and the front desk had already started discussing purchases and promotional copywriting on the WeChat official account and Weibo.

After all, you are the boss, so you have to enjoy some privileges.

But today, when everyone received a call for a meeting, they were a little hesitant.

Because Xu Zhuo wanted to replace the Carp Three Foods, which had a decent sales volume in the store, everyone was a little surprised. They didn't know what Xu Zhuo was planning to do.

In the past few days, there are pictures or videos of making garlic vermicelli open-backed shrimp everywhere on the Internet, and even the circle of friends has been bombarded by these people.

They don't understand very much, they are just selling garlic sauce, and they actually engage in such a big battle.

Can Garlic Sauce make enough money to pay for advertising?

But when they came to the meeting room and saw the two dishes made by Xu Zhuo himself, the complaints in everyone's hearts became less.

And when they tasted it, they were even more surprised.

Because the sweet and sour fish fillets made by mandarin fish are indeed a bit higher than carp.

The improvement of the taste means that the price can rise, and with the promotion of mandarin fish, the price can even rise a lot.

An increase in prices also indicates an increase in profits.

Everyone knows how to settle this kind of account, so before Xu Zhuo could speak, they all agreed to replace three meals of carp with two meals of mandarin fish.

At the same time, it is also proposed to add several flavors to the mandarin fish fillets, such as adding garlic, spicy, vinegar and other popular fish fillets in the Central Plains.

After all, if it is just sweet and sour, everyone will be fatigued.

But this matter is already a story, as long as everyone agrees to serve two new mandarin fish, the details are easy to talk about.

While eating, everyone discussed the pricing issue after the launch.

The discussion about the new restaurant has ended before it even started, so while everyone is here, Xu Zhuo wants to hear everyone's opinions on the price of the dishes.

This problem gave everyone a reason to continue to eat. After discussions among various departments, a price was set that everyone thought was good.

Of course, the pricing time was not short, so when everyone left the meeting room, the sweet and sour mandarin fish slices and mandarin fish tofu soup were all eaten up.

When leaving the conference room, Jianguo pulled Xu Zhuo and walked behind.

"Xu Zhuo, the people in the store have a lot of opinions about the things you've been doing online recently. These things have nothing to do with our restaurant..."

Xu Zhuo has separated the Xu Xiaochu brand from Sifang Restaurant, and then the company operates independently, making the restaurant responsible for less and less business.

With less business, the profit will naturally decrease, so everyone hopes that Xu Zhuo will develop more offline business, and not delay the offline business for the sake of online business.

Naturally, Xu Zhuo couldn't say that those online activities were for the sake of the system, so he prevaricated with the reason of enhancing the brand value, but he still reminded himself, it seems that the company and the restaurant should be unified Thoughts and goals of struggle, otherwise there may be internal strife in the future.

And the easiest way to unify thoughts and goals is to let Yuan Kang come over as the general manager.

If he catches it, everyone will definitely understand the importance of those online propaganda methods.

Originally, Xu Zhuo planned to transfer Yuan Kang over at the end of the year, but now it seems that the matter should be announced during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that Yuan Kang can take over the restaurant business earlier so that both parties can live in peace.
