Food starts with noodles

This strong signal of substitution made everyone work harder.

In the past, the chefs in the store would rest when they were not busy, but now they also started to help wash the vegetables and teach their assistants how to cook.

Anyway, no matter what you have to do, make yourself look very busy.

"Xu Zhuo, what kind of moth is Yuan Kang doing? He has spread so many rumors and made people panic. If this continues, it will affect the normal operation of the kitchen."

After the afternoon rush hour, Xu Zhuo took a sip of iced Coke. He was just about to read the latest game information when Jianguo and Guo Xingwang came over and expressed their doubts.

Two chef-level people came to ask about this matter, which made Xu Zhuo have to pay attention to it.

But he really didn't know what Yuan Kang was going to do, because Xu Zhuo was very relieved of Yuan Kang, and never asked Yuan Kang's business strategy at all.

Now that Jianguo and Guo Xingwang came to ask about this matter, Xu Zhuo felt that it was necessary to go upstairs to find Yuan Kang to inquire about it, and by the way, talk about when this matter will end.

As a result, he came to the door of the office upstairs, and was just about to open the door to enter, but he heard Yuan Kang and Zheng Jia's argument coming from inside.

"I don't care what the reason is or what the inside story is, all the waiters who have been complained by customers more than three times this month have all been fired. There is nothing to say!"

what's the situation?

Why are these two arguing again?

He knocked on the door, and then opened the door to go in, and saw that not only Zheng Jia and Yuan Kang were there, but even the leaders of several other departments.

"I can hear you guys arguing outside, what's the matter?"

Zheng Jia took out a form and handed it to Xu Zhuo. On it were the names of the waiters who were complained this month and the reason for the complaint.

Xu Zhuo took it over and looked at it, and immediately understood why Zheng Jia wanted to quarrel with Yuan Kang.

Because of the reasons why these waiters were complained, half of them were slow in serving food.

During the peak period, the back kitchen is slower to serve dishes, because when the lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second and third floors are all full, the demand for dishes is very large.

Although the back kitchen has more than a dozen chefs cooking at the same time during the peak period, it is still too busy.

If the guests wait for the food to be served, they will naturally be very annoyed if they can't wait for the left and right. If the waiter's attitude is worse at this time, the chances of customers complaining will be higher.

Therefore, Zheng Jia believes that it is also possible to find out the problem after being complained by customers. You can’t blame the waiter if you have a complaint, and you have to treat it differently. Only in this way can the work of the employees not be so depressing.

But Yuan Kang didn't listen to this, but came up with his own point of view: "Everyone knows how fast people's life is nowadays. In many cases, customers don't care too much. It is definitely not just to make them complain. Serving food is slow, and the attitude of the waiter is also crucial.

If the waiter helps to urge the dishes at the beginning, and be more proactive, as long as the attitude is good, the guests will generally not turn their faces.

Now the waiters in our store rely on the good business in the store to not worry about customers, coupled with the high turnover rate, the service awareness and service attitude are getting worse and worse. Manager Zheng, we can't let the development continue, we have to bring up the service, Don't just focus on turnover.

If this matter is exposed on the Internet later, it will be a disaster for Sifang Restaurant. "

Now the Sifang restaurant is showing an upward trend, so no one will make trouble, but when there are scandals or black spots, there will naturally be people behind to fuel the flames, and finally make this a big event.

As a person who is extremely good at online marketing, Yuan Kang naturally understands the seriousness of this problem, so he wants to improve the overall service of the store.

Of course, this overall service, not only the attitude of the front desk, but also the back kitchen, must be raised.

Since many complaints were related to the back kitchen, Yuan Kang decided to take the time to talk to Guan Junjie about it first.

But Xu Zhuo didn't expect this to happen.

Facing Xu Zhuo, Yuan Kang didn't have any scruples. He opened his mouth and said, "Xu Zhuo, there is something wrong with the order of cooking in the back kitchen. Some of the private rooms serve the dishes very quickly, one after another. The serving of food in the room is very slow, and there is also a problem with the order of serving the dishes. We will have to study the solution together later.”

Xu Zhuo didn't understand these things, but he knew what Yuan Kang meant.

The piece of research solution that Yuan Kang mentioned was actually when Xu Zhuo showed his face when they met, to give him a sense of presence.

In the past, when there were few people, everyone's relationship was relatively harmonious.

But now that there are more employees, various problems and frictions will follow.

Although everyone is still harmonious on the surface, in private, there are already small factions one by one.

Now that Yuan Kang took office, in order to establish his own prestige, he naturally didn't want the employees to have their own small group, because it would be inconvenient for overall management.

He was going to use Xu Zhuo's name to deal with this matter during the meeting.

Naturally, Xu Zhuo fully cooperated. As for the front desk waiter, Xu Zhuo felt that Yuan Kang was right. The service should be improved. If the waiter was only responsible for serving and removing dishes, it would be better to use robots like a hot pot restaurant.

At least the robot looks more pleasing to the eye and will not put on a face.

But now it's a bit early to say dismissal, Xu Zhuo thinks it's not too late to talk about it until the end of the month, anyway, there are still about two weeks, and we can observe and observe during this period.

After coming out of the office, Xu Zhuo briefly talked to Guo Xingwang and Jianguo, and told them to tell their subordinates to go to work with peace of mind, and then strolled to the dessert department.

The dessert department is a very special department in the back kitchen, because their daily job is to make all kinds of desserts and some desserts in the store.

Unlike the cooking area filled with oily smoke, the air here has that sweet and greasy smell.

And because some dishes need to be refrigerated, the temperature here is very cool. Compared with the hot and humid working environment in front of the stove, this place is simply a paradise, and it is a place where all chefs in the back kitchen are willing to come.

Of course, the main reason they are willing to come here is that half of the dessert department is full of careful girls, and these female chefs are the ultimate reason for the popularity of the dessert department.

When Xu Zhuo came, the back kitchen was making donkey rolls.

Donkey rolling is now the signature of Sifang Restaurant, and almost everyone who comes to eat in the restaurant will order a taste.

Xu Zhuo's arrival made a group of busy chefs a little curious.

Because although Xu Zhuo often appears in the kitchen, most of the time he is in the cooking area and rarely comes here.

Could it be that the rumors are true, that the store is really going to fire employees, so he came to check on the work?

While the chefs were thinking wildly, Xu Zhuo had already walked over, and he asked with a smile, "Are there any fillings suitable for making mooncakes in the shop today?"

This question stunned a few girls, making moon cakes?

Why did the boss suddenly make mooncakes?

Does this mean something?

Xu Zhuo saw several people in a daze, so he opened the refrigerator next to him and took a look. It contained date paste, red bean paste, mung bean paste, black sesame, lotus seed paste and other fillings, which were quite complete.

Since the fillings are so rich, there is nothing to say. I just made the snow skin mooncakes for my daughter-in-law to try out. By the way, I also taught these people in the dessert department.

In addition, it is necessary to customize some molds for cake skin parade later, so that the mooncakes produced in this way are more beautiful and easier to stimulate the appetite of customers.

While thinking, Xu Zhuo looked at the girls next to him and asked, "Have you all eaten snowskin mooncakes? I'm going to make some for everyone to try. If possible, let's make a batch before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Snowskin mooncakes, the dessert department hasn’t launched a new product for a long time, and this time the new one is quite appropriate.”

While talking, Xu Zhuo had already started preparing the ingredients for making snowy mooncakes.

But the people in the dessert department blinked, some couldn't believe their ears.

what's the situation?

The boss actually came to teach us how to make snowy mooncakes.

This……

Wouldn't it be implying that we are too stupid to drive us away?

Chapter 1278 Snowskin Mooncake

Snow skin moon cake is a new type of moon cake that has become popular in recent years.

Compared with traditional mooncakes, ice skin mooncakes are easy to make, beautiful in appearance, need not be baked, and taste cold, so they are very popular.

But the snowy mooncakes also have their shortcomings, that is, all mooncakes are the same, and the taste is not much different. The only difference seems to be the fillings inside.

As for the crust on the outside, they all have the same taste, and even the color is exactly the same.

In this case, it is easy to get bored.

However, the pastry mooncakes can change from graffiti to a category in the mooncake army, and there are many fans, which is already unexpected.

Snow skin mooncakes are firstly wrapped with cooked glutinous rice flour and eaten after refrigeration.

However, because these are made by hand, the method is relatively rough, and the crust will crack after a long time, and even have the taste of cornstarch.

Therefore, snow skin mooncakes have been a very small snack for a long time.

But the cold and soft taste of this kind of mooncake has made more and more people accept it, and more and more chefs have begun to study the outer skin of the snowy mooncake.

What should I do to make the pie crust more transparent and not crack?

The pastry chefs started their research. They started with the similar desserts in Chinese and Western food. By adding glutinous rice flour, clear noodles, milk, condensed milk, salad oil and other ingredients to the glutinous rice flour, they finally made the ice skin mooncake a perfect cake. skin, to a perfect effect.

It even further reduces the thickness of the pie crust, making the pie crust translucent, allowing people to see the filling inside at a glance, so as to attract everyone's attention.

In addition, when kneading the glutinous rice flour, some natural pigments are added to make the snowy mooncakes into different colors such as pink, yellow, light purple, etc., making the snowy mooncakes look more attractive and delicious.

Snow skin mooncakes are not difficult to make, the difficulty lies in the skin.

Therefore, how to make the crust well has become the key to snowy mooncakes.

Xu Zhuo found the ingredients to make snowy mooncakes, and the group of per capita brain supplement masters in the dessert department finally understood that Xu Zhuo is not here to find faults and troubles, but really wants to teach everyone how to make snowy mooncakes .

Under such circumstances, they naturally cooperated in various ways, and even took out some molds given by the seller who purchased the dessert ingredients before, to see if Xu Zhuo could use them.

At the same time, it also took out several natural food colorings that are often used in desserts.

In the past, if you wanted to use pigments, you could only find ways to extract them from plants, such as extracting curcumin from turmeric, extracting monascus from red yeast rice, and so on.

These are the most natural colors and are completely harmless to use.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it cannot be preserved, and it can only be used now.

However, until now, the extraction of this kind of natural pigment has long been a complete industry, and all the pigments used in Sifang Restaurant are of this kind of natural pigment.

Compared with the synthetic pigments, the price of natural pigments is significantly higher.

But for the health of customers and for his own peace of mind, Xu Zhuo still chooses to use natural pigments.

If it is more expensive, it is more expensive, health is the most important thing.

Besides, it doesn't matter if the raw materials are expensive, as long as the desserts are priced higher, anyway, Sifang Restaurant doesn't have to worry about the source of customers, so there is no need to fight price wars with competitors.

Xu Zhuo sifted the glutinous rice flour into the basin, and then added some sifted sticky rice flour and sifted Cheng noodles.

Sticky rice flour is flour made from ordinary rice.

Compared with glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour is not sticky, which can prevent the ice skin from being too soft and glutinous. As for Cheng Noodles, putting it in will not only make the cake skin look more translucent, but also increase the toughness of the cake skin.

"These three things are in proportion, and they can't be placed randomly. The ratio of glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour and clear noodles is three to two to one. If there is too much sticky rice flour, the dough will not be easy to shape. If there is too much clear noodles, the dough will become fat again." It is hard, so when you are doing it, you must master the proportion."

While Xu Zhuo was making it, he told everyone the key points of making the crust.

He used chopsticks to mix the three ingredients evenly in the basin, so that it would be easier to stir later.

After mixing evenly, Xu Zhuo put a large spoonful of condensed milk, a large spoonful of soft white sugar, and half a spoonful of peanut oil into the basin, then poured in a bowl of pure milk, and started stirring in the basin with chopsticks.

Stir all these ingredients into a relatively thick batter, then Xu Zhuo put it into the steamer and steamed it on high heat for half an hour.

The purpose of steaming is to make the crust of the pie more cooked, so that it tastes more delicious, and it will not have the taste of raw flour.

When the batter was steaming in the pot, Xu Zhuo was not idle.

He put the wok on the small stove in the dessert department, turned on the fire to dry the wok, then lowered the heat, put two tablespoons of glutinous rice flour into the wok, and slowly fried it in the wok with a spoon.

These glutinous rice flour will be sprinkled on the chopping board and the mold later, not too much, but it must be fried to bring out the fragrance, so that the ice skin mooncakes will be more delicious.

You must not be in a hurry when frying glutinous rice noodles, because once you are in a hurry, the car will overturn, either it will become burnt or unevenly cooked. Even if you are careful, the white glutinous rice noodles may be fried to yellow.

Xu Zhuo was frying slowly, and by the way instructed the dessert department to prepare the fillings.

To make snowy mooncakes, the fillings are quite random and can be adjusted a lot. Generally, as long as the fillings are sweet, there is absolutely no problem.

Xu Zhuo asked everyone to knead all the fillings into balls with a diameter of five or six centimeters. This is a common practice for many desserts. Knead the fillings into balls and wrap them in after the pie crust is ready. Then put it in the mold, and a fresh snowy mooncake will be freshly baked.

While everyone was chatting, laughing and busy, Xu Zhuo also fried the glutinous rice flour.

The fried glutinous rice flour has the unique aroma of glutinous rice, which smells delicious.

After Xu Zhuosheng came out, he first checked the stuffing balls that everyone had prepared, picked out the ones that were too big and the ones that were too small, and re-kneaded the ones that were not so round.

If it is not so meticulous, after wrapping it with the pie skin and putting it into the mold, the excess filling may be squeezed out, which will affect the aesthetics of the finished product.
