Lotus cake?
It's really the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are moon cakes and lotus cakes, and snacks appear together. But it's not enough to just sell snacks, you have to serve as many big dishes as possible.
Lin Xu scratched Dundun's chin, placed the little guy on the service desk, and then walked upstairs.
The time for relaxation is over and it’s time to get back to work.
Online, the official account of Linji Food just announced the new mooncakes, and netizens were shocked by the unexpected news.
Invisible chicken wings: Custard mooncake? Flower ham mooncake? Boss Lin doesn’t let anyone save a penny!
Did the graphics card drop sharply today: Before I went to Lin Kee for dinner, I planned to save money for 3090. After eating at Lin Kee for a while, I felt that 3070 was not bad. Now I see the news about moon cakes... 1066 will fight for another three years!
p>
The Lost Roasted Whole Lamb: No matter how hard it is, people can’t bear to suffer for their children, but the people upstairs are struggling with the graphics card.
I am sworn in with gambling and drugs: In my hometown in southern Yunnan, I couldn’t stand seeing the flower ham mooncakes. I went to Linji early tomorrow to queue up and try to buy a box to try.
V I 50 teaches you a little trick to prevent fraud: Although I, Lao Guang, have no interest in custard mooncakes, I still want to buy a few boxes to give to my friends. See you tomorrow!
I'm lying on the bed, and my cooking skills are high: Tutorial on squatting on a moon cake, how to keep the filling from melting when making it, someone who knows better can give me a kick.
……
Third floor, end of corridor.
This was originally a wall, but now an iron door was opened.
Open the door and there is a corridor inside.
The corridor is not long, you can walk through it in a few steps, and then walk into the newly renovated banquet hall.
It's called decoration, but it's actually just laying a layer of carpet on the floor, putting a layer of more festive wallpaper on the wall, and installing some fancy lights on the ceiling.
It's a temporary rented house, so there's no need for extensive renovations, and it's not used every day.
It will only be used once when a group meal order is received. If the company that ordered the group meal has a large enough venue, it may not like the environment here.
The banquet hall is filled with round tables that can seat ten people, and a small stage is set up at the end to facilitate the leaders of the units who order group meals to speak.
There is a projection screen hanging behind the stage, which can play some corporate videos.
"How's it going boss? Is it okay?"
Dou Wenjing was inspecting the decoration here. When she saw Lin Xu coming over, she quickly said hello.
"Yes, for many people who order group meals, a place to eat is enough. They don't have to choose."
People who come to Linji to order group meals basically come for Linji’s food. They are people who know how to eat. If they are looking for ostentation and lavishness, the banquet hall of a five-star hotel is more luxurious.
Lin Xu walked around and felt that everything was fine here.
It is independent of the hotel and will not affect each other. You can even go downstairs directly after eating without having to enter or exit the store, which is in line with the low-key personality of some customers.
Dou Wenjing said:
"In addition to Brother Qiang's company, eight companies have already decided to have group meals here. Starting from tomorrow night, eight consecutive group meals will be held here. The maximum number of people is one hundred and forty, and the minimum number is More than 60 people have already paid deposits."
So many people come to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Sounds like a good result.
Lin Xu said:
"Remember to confirm the meal order with them, and then hand it over to the kitchen for purchasing. When ordering the meal order, let Wei Gan go over. He is good at food prices. Letting him participate can ensure that our profits will not be lost."< /p>
"Good boss."
In the next two days, the kitchen became even busier.
In addition to the increase in customers in the store, the group meal business has put some pressure on the kitchen.
Lin Xu also became busy, because almost all companies that ordered group meals ordered roasted whole lamb, and he had to be busy roasting lamb while making mooncakes.
But this kind of busyness makes people feel very fulfilled.
Because being busier means better business, and also means greater hope of settling down in the capital.
At this rate, maybe I can buy a decent villa within five years, and then I can take my parents over and no longer have to endure the pain of family separation.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches day by day.
Not only is the store's business good, but even the limited supply of mooncakes in the store is increasingly in short supply.
Every morning, before the opening time, many people line up at the door to buy, and there are even scalpers among them.
In response, Shu Yun had to limit the supply.
Ordinary customers can only buy two boxes at a time, customers with membership cards can relax to three boxes, and customers with large recharges can buy five boxes at a time.
Everyone knows that doing so will demotivate customers.
But there is nothing we can do, because from the first day, customers have been asking for all mooncakes to be rounded.
Unlimited supply will only make scalpers cheaper in the end.
"Wow, is this the legendary Sanqi?"
In the evening of the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Xu finished working on the mooncakes to be made today, and sat in front of the booth with Shen Baobao, looking at the Chinese herbal medicine that Mrs. Huang asked Lao Huang to send.
Last time Lin Xu talked about steam pot chicken, just some Panax notoginseng and morels.
I originally thought that this thing was very expensive, and a few yuan would be enough to make two meals. Unexpectedly, Lao Huang directly sent me four or five kilograms of the finest Panax notoginseng - Wenshan Panax notoginseng.
In addition to Panax notoginseng, there is also a pack of dried morels, two packs of dried gallinobacteria and several other relatively rare warm and tonic ingredients.
Although Lao Huang keeps saying happy holidays.
But obviously, this is a reminder not to forget to make steam pot chicken.
Baobao Shen took a piece of Panax notoginseng and put it on the table. He broke it hard and tried to open it to take a look inside. He found that there were small holes on the table, but the Panax notoginseng remained motionless.
"It's as hard as a rock, how can you eat it?"
Lin Xu took it, smelled it, and said with a smile:
"Either use a grinder to grind it into powder, or directly stew it into soup... Don't bother, be careful not to hurt your hands."
"Got it!"
At this moment, the driver came over with a basket of freshly steamed buns:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Boss, the steamed buns are ready."
"Okay, let me try it."
Early this morning, Ji Minghui and Zhuang Yizhou felt that everyone had been working hard these past two days and planned to fry some fried dough sticks, but they failed to control the amount and fried a lot more.
The remaining fried dough sticks would not taste good even if they were re-cooked, so I simply chopped them into pieces and made them into steamed buns with vermicelli, egg, chives and dried shrimps.
In the past, Lin Xu ate the fried dough sticks directly when he got them. It was only when he came to Beijing to go to school that he discovered that they could be rolled into pancakes and eaten. Some breakfast stalls would also fill the fried dough sticks with eggs, making them like egg-filled pancakes.
There is also a breakfast shop from Jinling near the school, which wraps the fried dough sticks in rice and sprinkles some chopped mustard while wrapping. It tastes delicious.
I originally thought that these ways of eating were classic enough, but I didn’t expect that the way of eating with stuffings would pop up again today.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Baby Shen picked up a bun and took a bite, then sighed in admiration.
The vermicelli is fragrant and smooth, with the rich texture of lard, and the fried dough sticks cut into small pieces inside absorb the soup in the bun, and taste soft and stringy, as if eating meat.
Lin Xu also didn't expect that the fried dough sticks would be so delicious after being simply processed.
He remembered that he had brought some fried dough sticks home in the morning, but Baby Shen had not finished eating the remaining dough sticks. At that time, he rushed to the store to make mooncakes and stuffed them into the refrigerator.
If I had known I had brought it here, I would have made it into stuffing so that it would not be wasted.
"It's really delicious. I'll have new ideas for making steamed buns in the future."
Lin Xu thinks that youtiao is really an interesting delicacy. It is delicious in itself, but he never thought that it can be used as an ingredient to make other delicacies.
And with the addition of fried dough sticks, the taste of the original vegetarian buns immediately jumped to a new level.
While eating, Shu Yun came down from the third floor after greeting the group meal customers. When he saw that the buns were steamed, he picked one up and took a bite:
"Well, these buns are good and delicious. It would be better if there were no leeks..."
As a store general manager, she often has to communicate directly with customers, so she should try to avoid eating some smelly ingredients, such as leeks, garlic, raw onions, etc.
Shen Baobao said:
"It's okay, just wear a mask."
"That will inflame myself... I'll eat something else later, so as not to leave a bad impression on the customers."
Seeing that Shu Yun was so concerned about her image, Shen Baobao thought about lying on the same bed as Xu Bao at night. It would be even worse if she had a bad breath, so after eating a steamed bun, she went to eat fried rice with Shu Yun.
This move made Lin Xu dumbfounded.
I've eaten it all, so what if you don't eat it? Just rinse your mouth after eating. Besides, you need to brush your teeth before going to bed. You can brush away the slight smell of chives.
Lin Xu continued to eat steamed buns.
After eating, I rinsed my mouth, chewed two pieces of gum, and then got into tonight's work.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, the store officially closed for get off work.
He hugged Dundun and returned to the community behind with Baobao Shen.
As soon as she walked into the house, Dundun immediately got into a cardboard box covered with a mink blanket and fell asleep. This was a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from Han Shuzhen. The little guy liked it very much.
After the two of them took a shower and changed into pajamas respectively, Shen Baobao sat on the sofa and held up his mobile phone to make a video call with Chen Meijuan.
"Mom, have you received the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts I bought for you? Those imported camel milk are for grandma and grandma. Drinking them is good for your health."
"Thank you Yueyue, Mom received it. How are you going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a closer relationship than mother and daughter, and they talk non-stop while holding up their mobile phones.
Lin Xu was nestled at the other end of the sofa, holding his mobile phone to read the festival experiences shared by Shatuo netizens.
"Our company paid out two thousand yuan in benefits. After the payment was completed, the boss said in the group that the money would be deducted from the salary. The reason why he paid so much was because he was worried that we would not be able to win over others... He really... I
Cry to death!"
"Your boss helped you organize moon cakes, which is pretty good. Our boss saved the trouble and just made a big cake that has been on the market for three years. Not only did he get no benefits, but he also had to work two hours of overtime tonight."
p>
"Our company distributes products that are due to expire personally selected by the boss. He said that the shelf life is more than three days, so you can visit relatives with confidence... I have already nominated him as one of the top ten touching people."
"They are all better than us. Not only did we not receive benefits, but the boss also said that today is the 99th Donation Day and called on each of us to donate 200 yuan."
"..."
While watching, Shen Baobao stood up, held up his mobile phone and said to Chen Meijuan:
"Mom, don't hang up the phone. I'm looking for something to eat. I'm a little hungry right now."
Lin Xugang was about to say that she shouldn't just eat a steamed bun in the afternoon, when Chen Meijuan's voice suddenly came from Shen Baobao's cell phone:
"Xiao Xu, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and prepare something to eat for Yueyue. This child...why doesn't he know how to feel sorry for others?"
"Mom, don't say that, Xu Bao is almost doting on me."
"Hurry up and pamper yourself, because you haven't pampered you yet."
The conversation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made Lin Xu feel a little bit redundant. He stood up and said:
"There isn't much food at home right now. Let me see what we have to eat."
A few days ago, the fat loss team carried out another vigorous fat loss plan. In order to show his determination, Baby Shen sent all the snacks stored at home to the store.
There is no one at home to cook, and there is basically nothing to eat.
In addition to rice noodles and daily condiments, there are only a few eggs in the refrigerator, a few fried dough sticks left over from the morning, and a few cucumbers for baby Shen to use on his face.
This...
Lin Xu took the cucumber and shook it at Shen Baobao:
"Have one?"
"No, I want to eat staple food...do you have any at home?"
After rummaging through it again, Lin Xu found a few packs of instant noodles from the corner of the cupboard. He probably stuffed them indiscriminately when his mother made room for them. It was quite hidden and avoided Baby Shen's snack cleanup last time.
After he took it out, he said:
"Let me boil some water for you to soak..."
Before she finished speaking, my mother Chen Meijuan spoke again:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"What are you soaking in? There are additives in the instant noodles seasoning. You boil the noodles, fry them with eggs to make fried noodles, pat those two cucumbers, and make cold fried dough sticks with those fried dough sticks. Isn't that enough?
."
Cold salad?
Lin Xu took out a few cold fried dough sticks from the refrigerator, looked at his mother on the other end of the phone and asked:
"Can this be served cold?"
"Why not? Cut it into small pieces and put it in hot oil. Then mix it with cucumber. It tastes so good... hurry up and prepare it. Yueyue is still waiting to eat it."
This time it really exceeded Lin Xu’s expectations.
Following his mother's urging, he had no choice but to start preparing.
First, boil a pot of water in a soup pot to prepare the noodles, then put the wok on the stove next to it, pour oil into it, and prepare to oil the fried dough sticks according to my mother's instructions.
While the oil was still hot, he used a knife to cut the fried dough sticks into pieces slightly larger than mahjong.
Then wash the cucumber, flatten it first, and then cut it into pieces with a diagonal knife.
Cut it and put it in a basin, then pat some garlic to make garlic paste, add two spoons of chili oil, then add light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt, sesame sesame oil and other condiments, stir the cucumber first.
After all this work, the oil in the pot is already 60% hot.
He put the fried dough sticks into the pot. Under the influence of hot oil, the originally soft fried dough sticks became ridged again.
Remove the oil and pour it into a basin containing cucumbers, and stir evenly again.
After mixing it, Lin Xu tasted it and it was surprisingly delicious.
The fried dough sticks are fluffy and soft after being re-oiled. With a little hot and sour sauce, they taste delicious and appetizing. They are a perfect match with cucumbers.
Nice romance
I never thought there was such a way to eat fried dough sticks, it really refreshed my knowledge.
He didn't put it on the plate, but just walked out of the kitchen with a basin. At this moment, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still chatting. Lin Xu put a piece of fried dough sticks into Baobao Shen's mouth. As soon as the girl tasted it, her eyes suddenly lit up:
"Wow, these fried dough sticks are so delicious!"
I originally thought that using fried dough sticks as filling to make steamed buns would be a surprise.
Unexpectedly, there are new surprises waiting for you right now.
Lin Xu handed the kuaizi into her hand:
"You eat slowly, chat with mom for a while, and I'll fry instant noodles."
Seeing the loving scene between her son and daughter-in-law, Chen Meijuan on the other end of the phone showed a happy smile:
"Eat Yueyue, Mom won't bother you eating. After eating, go to bed early and don't stay up late."
"I know Mom, you and Dad should go to bed early too!"
After hanging up the video call, Shen Baobao discovered that in the [Tiantian Singles Team] group, Zeng Xiaoqi was complaining about not eating enough in the afternoon and being a little hungry now.
Chen Yan, Dou Wenjing and Shu Yun are comforting her and encouraging her to lose weight.
If you hold back today, you will get a more beautiful self tomorrow.
Several people were feeding Director Zeng chicken soup to encourage each other. Baby Shen took a photo of cucumber mixed with fried dough sticks and posted it in the group:
"I really didn't expect that the combination of fried dough sticks and cucumbers tastes surprisingly good. Have any of you tried this method?"
No one in the group has eaten it either.
But when they saw the proprietress eating, they instantly lost their guard.
Not long after, Zeng Xiaoqi sent a screenshot of the takeout:
"I ordered a crayfish takeout, as well as stir-fried scallops, grilled bun slices, grilled eggplant, and kebabs. What about you?"
Others also silently posted their takeout orders.
After drying, Dou Wenjing said:
"Today doesn't count. Let's start a new life from tomorrow. We are not allowed to eat anything at night."
"It's all Yueyue's fault. You can eat whatever you want. Why did you post some pictures? I ordered more than 200 takeaways... Are these fried dough sticks mixed with cucumber delicious?"
"I also want to ask the boss lady. It looks very tempting, but I always feel that these two ingredients don't match."
"I don't think it matches either, but the impact is so strong. I want to try it when I see it... Can the boss make one for us tomorrow? I'm a little greedy..."
Baby Shen knew that their takeout hadn't arrived yet, so he pointed his phone at himself and recorded a short video of eating fried dough sticks:
"These fried dough sticks are deep-fried. They are crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside... Listen to this, does it sound good? If it sounds good, it means it is delicious!"
Everyone: "..."
No wonder Dundun always regards the boss’s wife as a big devil.
At this moment, she is really a devil!
In the kitchen.
The water in the pot has boiled.
Lin Xu took the noodles out of the instant noodle bag and put them in.
Under the influence of boiling water, the dough quickly fell apart.
When all the noodles have spread out and turned into noodles, immediately take them out of the pot with a slotted spoon and let them cool in cold water to prevent the residual heat from boiling the instant noodles and losing their smooth texture.
After the noodles are cooked.
He took out half an onion from the refrigerator, shredded it and put it on a plate for later use, and then beat two eggs.
Then pour out the oil for frying the fried dough sticks, leaving a little base oil.
Heat up the heat over high heat, pour the egg liquid into the pot, stir-fry it into chunks and serve it out.
Pour the oil again, add the onions and stir-fry, then take out the cooled instant noodles, control the water and pour them into the pot, stir-fry quickly to stir-fry the water on the surface of the instant noodles, so that the taste will be better.
Stir-fry for a minute and start seasoning.
Put a small spoonful of salt, a small spoonful of cumin powder, and a small spoonful of chili powder into the pot, and then pour a little light soy sauce and dark soy sauce for coloring along the edge of the pot.
Continue to stir-fry.
Mix the seasoning thoroughly and stir-fry out the aroma, then pour in the eggs.
Don't pour the eggs too early, otherwise they will be stained with the color of dark soy sauce and affect their appearance.
Stir-fry again and remove from the pan and serve on a plate.
Lin Xu was a little hungry after working hard for a long time.
He filled two plates, one large and one small.
After serving it, he went outside. Shen, who was putting the poison, smelled the fragrance, and an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face:
"Isn't this too fragrant? It feels like eating fried noodles at a barbecue stall. How are they made?"
Lin Xu smiled, picked up a piece of fried dough sticks and put it into his mouth:
"Just put some cumin when frying... I don't have all the ingredients at home today. I need mung bean sprouts or something. It should taste better."
"This is already very good, thank you Xubao!"
Shen Baobao kissed Lin Xu on the face with her greasy mouth, then took a photo of the fried instant noodles on the table with her mobile phone and sent it to the group:
"Tonight's staple food is fried instant noodles. I put some cumin powder in it when frying. It has the same flavor as the barbecue stall. Let Xubao make it for you to try during the day!"
Turn back?
What's the point of eating later? We're hungry now, sister!
The fat loss team in the group discovered for the first time that waiting for takeout is actually a very long time.
On the seat next to him, Lin Xu took two bites of cucumber mixed with fried dough sticks and another bite of chewy fried instant noodles.
Well, not bad, delicious!
He glanced at the bright moon outside the window, and then posted a message under Lin Ji's food topic:
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all my friends!"
