"General Manager?"
Chen Meijuan was stunned for a moment, and was a little worried about her son's business:
"Sister Yuanyuan is so young, can you be the general manager? Do you want to exercise more?"
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"You elders are really a contradiction. When you let Sister Yuanyuan work as a cashier in the store, you worry about her being wronged. When you let Sister Yuanyuan be the general manager, you worry about her lack of ability..."
"What are you talking about, kid? I'm not afraid that she will delay your business."
"It's not because she is my cousin that I let her be the general manager, but because she has this ability, that's why we have such a personnel arrangement..."
Ziqiang Shengjian has not opened any more branches this year, but it will definitely continue to expand next year.
At that time, not only Lin Xu will not be able to take care of it, but Dou Wenjing will also have no time to manage the company. Wang Ziqiang himself has no management ability, and now he is focusing on technology, so he will not be able to take care of it.
So we have to arrange for a person to be responsible for this.
This candidate cannot be parachuted in from the head office, nor can he be hired from outside, because neither of them understands the front-line stores or the work processes of front-line employees.
If you don’t understand this, you will naturally not be able to manage well.
Therefore, we have to choose a suitable store manager from among the store managers. Among the eight store managers, Sister Yuanyuan’s performance is far ahead, and she also put forward a lot of suggestions to improve work efficiency.
In this case, the candidate for the general manager is ready to be announced.
"As long as you know what's going on, then your dad and I won't worry."
Chen Meijuan feels that her son has really grown up. He not only has his own career, but also has his own opinions and experiences in management.
Lin Xu edited the video and uploaded it for update.
On the other side, at Yu Hui's house, Tongtong, who was wearing cartoon pajamas, was sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet and reading, when she suddenly shouted in the direction of the kitchen:
"Mom, Uncle Lin has uploaded a tutorial on black sesame paste. Come and learn it quickly, otherwise I won't be able to pass the exam and I won't be able to become an alumnus with Sister Lele."
Yu Hui leaned out from the kitchen:
"You have to eat sweets just after dinner. Have you forgotten how your teeth are broken? Wait for me to take time to learn, and then I will make them for you."
"Then you should hurry up and learn. I can wait, but Zhiban won't wait!"
Yu Hui: "..."
Little devil, do you think I don’t know what you are planning?
Since you said that Sister Lele likes to watch SpongeBob SquarePants, I know that you are lying about military information and eating and drinking.
She sighed tiredly.
Having such a child on the bed really doesn't make anyone worry for a moment.
In order to make her daughter restrain herself, Yu Hui said:
"After piano lessons on Saturday, mom will take you to Linji for dinner. It seems that your sister Lele will also go. Then I will ask her if she really likes eating mushrooms, glass seaweed and those snacks."
p>
Hum hum, my daughter doesn’t know what social death means yet, so let her experience it first as a punishment for her cheating on food and drink these days.
Online, Lin Xu just updated the video, and netizens clicked in one after another.
"Wow, I haven't even figured out the four ways to write fennel beans, but Boss Lin has actually mastered the four ways to make black sesame paste."
"Favorites: Come on, come on, come in and eat ashes!"
"I've been craving black sesame paste recently. Boss Lin really understands me."
"Bet you a pack of spicy strips, the boss lady will definitely come up with a recipe for black sesame paste."
"What boss lady? That's the god of small home appliances, okay!"
"Should I say it or not, the lady boss really enriched my knowledge of small household appliances, and the air fryer at home has regained a new lease of life."
"Front row tip: There is dog food in the video, please watch it with a couple."
"I cried so loudly, am I single and not even qualified to watch the video?"
"..."
Lin Xu looked at these comments on the Internet and asked Shen Jiayue who was applying a facial mask:
"When will your video be updated?"
"Let's take some time off with you tomorrow, so as not to keep netizens talking about simultaneous updates, and this will make your video more popular...Xubao, why do you think foie gras becomes oily when fried?
”
"Are you... hungry?"
Shen Jiayue patted the mask on her face:
"No, I'm just curious..."
"I'll make some for you to try tomorrow and you'll know. By the way, let Dundun try some too. The little guy hasn't eaten foie gras yet."
After saying that, he took the bathrobe and went to the bathroom.
The next morning, Lin Xu took pictures of the residue from the upper and lower layers of egg skin in the store.
Today he deliberately increased the amount of yellow gardenia, which made the resulting skin more golden in color, more obvious in contrast to the bright yellow egg skin, and better looking.
Especially the strands of vermicelli, which are golden and translucent, making people greedy just by looking at them.
The prepared pizu looks very good. Lin Xu slices it and puts it on the plate. When placing it, he specially made a shape to make the pizi look better.
"This is the delicacy from our hometown in Yinzhou. After the improvement, the color looks much better, but the taste remains the same. If you want to eat it, you can come to the store to try it tomorrow. New items will be available for a limited time in three days over the weekend."
Lin Xu faced the camera, picking up the skin residue and taking a close-up while talking, so that everyone could see this delicious dish as clearly as possible.
After the shooting, Dou Wenjing asked:
"When will the video be uploaded?"
Today's video was recorded by the company's photographer. Lin Xu, who is in the lifestyle category, can record it himself, but this kind of video is obviously an advertisement for a new dish, so it is natural for a professional photographer to come.
This way it can be made more dazzling and more attractive.
Lin Xu said:
"Upload the video as soon as it's ready. The sooner you upload it, the more people will watch it, and the sales of Pi Zhao will be better tomorrow."
It is actually quite difficult to serve five hundred portions in three days, but as long as we promote it carefully, customers will order one to try it and see how this delicacy made of vermicelli is different from other local snacks.
After the video shooting, it was almost lunch time.
Today’s lunch is braised pork ribs with potatoes, minced meat, pickled beans and spicy and sour zucchini. The staple food is rice and steamed buns. You can eat whatever you want.
Lin Xu filled a bowl of rice, scooped another spoonful of potatoes and roasted pork ribs, and covered it with rice.
As soon as I sat down with the bowl in hand, Shen Jiayue from the side came over.
"Xubao, I'll give you the ribs, but I won't eat them."
This made Lin Xu very curious, because when she usually eats ribs, she takes the initiative to grab them from the bowl.
"Why don't you eat?"
"Because when I updated the video today, Yan Bao said in the comment area that I have gained weight and asked everyone to like it. I want to lose weight and become a lightning bolt and I envy her to death!"
Here it comes again.
When will the drama about you guys losing more and more weight stop?
Just when Lin Xuda was about to taunt, he lowered his head and saw Shen Baobao putting a bunch of pork ribs into his bowl. He immediately thought that it would be good for sisters to fall in love and kill each other.
Otherwise, how could there be so many ribs in the bowl?
Thank you for the gift of nature!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xu drove to the company to take pictures of the delicious food he was going to make today - pan-fried foie gras.
After arriving, he found that Qiu Zhenhua and Qi Siming, the regular guests of Human Flavor, had already arrived and were cleaning up the kitchen.
Compared with the past, Qi Siming now has removed his earrings, dyed his hair black, and has transformed from a troubled young man into a good boy in the eyes of his elders.
"Boss Lin came so early."
Seeing Lin Xu, Qi Siming took the initiative to say hello.
The office heating was turned on at full speed. Lin Xu took off his down jacket and hung it on a hanger, and asked curiously:
"Why don't you wear earrings?"
"Director Zeng said that our show is about serious traditional Chinese food, not new Chinese food, so he dyed his hair and took off his earrings to avoid being criticized by netizens."
This is good, as it will save you from being caught by your competitors.
However, considering Qi Siming’s qualifications as the pastry chef for the Winter Olympics, netizens who don’t know the truth can say a few words: In reality, Master Bai An, who can’t respect Master Qi?
Being able to serve as the chef for major national events and banquets has proven his strength.
And when it comes to his lifelike motorcycle, netizens will immediately admire it if it is actually made.
Qi Siming handed Lin Xu a can of drink and asked in a low voice:
"After these days of partnership, I want to take over Chef Qiu as my chef. What do you think I should do best?"
Hey, have you discovered the benefits of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts?
Among the eighteen chief chefs in Diaoyutai, senior brother Xie Baomin is at the top, with Guo Weidong hot on his heels, and the one recognized as third in cooking skills is Qiu Zhenhua, who is proficient in both white and red dishes.
Unlike Yin Hongbin, who is only good at making ramen, Qiu Zhenhua is more versatile and proficient in almost all dim sum, snacks and various Soviet-style dim sum.
He is proficient in all areas of Bai'an, and he also knows all the authentic Huaiyang cuisine in Red's. If it weren't for the immense talent of his senior brother, no one in Diaoyutai would be able to suppress him.
As for Guo Weidong, who is ranked second, he has the courage to catch up after being humiliated by Xie Baomin for five years.
During those five years, Guo Weidong was busier than a senior in high school. He had to be busy with things in Building 10 and take care of his family. Occasionally, he would spare some time and work hard to practice his cooking skills.
However, after five years of hard training, the leaders felt that Xie Baomin came first every year. The whole competition process was too boring. Everyone was tired of seeing Xie Baomin's fancy way of winning the competition, so they canceled the competition.
It really resembles life and destiny.
When you are not prepared, fate will ravage you over and over again.
When you are ready, fate will... change the way you play.
Just say how helpless you are.
"Just say it directly, there's no need to mince words."
Qi Siming smiled shyly:
"Am I afraid of rejection... Can you give me an idea?"
Lin Xu thought for a while and said:
"How about this? After the video is shot later, I will ask Chef Qiu for you to see what his attitude is."
"Okay, okay, okay, great, Boss Lin. This thing is going to be done. Let alone making a motorcycle out of dough. Even if you ask me to use dough to knead a Maisarui out, we won't refuse."
Lin Xu: "..."
How does it feel like delivering love letters to classmates in junior high school?
You are so coy about becoming a teacher, what will you do if you find a partner later?
Also find someone to pass the message in between?
He put on his chef uniform, got all the work ready, said hello to Geng Lishan who had just had lunch, and started recording the program.
"Hello everyone, my name is Siming, and this is my partner, Chef Qiu. When the first episode of the program was broadcast last week, some enthusiastic netizens said that Boss Lin can only cook Chinese food, which is not a big deal. In the spirit of watching the excitement, it is not a big deal.
In line with the principle, we have spent a huge amount of money to purchase expensive ingredients and are going to let Boss Lin cook a Western-style meal... Look at how many fans our program team has."
Although he has only recorded a few programs, Qi Siming, as a young man, easily mastered the program. He even deliberately described the grudges and challenges known to the entire Internet as welfare for his fans, setting the stage for this battle from the beginning.
Got the tune.
Lin Xu, standing in the middle, smiled and said:
"I'm actually not good at cooking Western food, so I'll try my best not to overturn it."
The workbench has been laid out with the ingredients and ingredients to be used today. The most eye-catching thing is the huge foie gras on the middle plate.
This foie gras is as big as a chicken, and it is as white as a whole, like a large piece of white fat solidified together.
Looking at this foie gras, Lin Xu couldn't help but think of people's fatty liver. He had to pay attention to his diet and exercise. It would be terrible if his liver was also full of fat!
"This foie gras is chilled, has been properly processed, and can be cooked directly."
Qiu Zhenhua introduced the foie gras.
In the past, when making foie gras, you had to soak it first to remove the blood, and carefully cut off some of the fascia on the foie gras, so that the foie gras would taste like ice cream.
But now, with the introduction of industrial technology, foie gras is basically processed in the slaughterhouse, without the need for secondary processing.
Such a low threshold makes foie gras gradually become a popular food.
Lin Xu introduced all the ingredients to be used, then picked up the prepared sour plum sauce and said:
"Eating foie gras is inseparable from the sauce. Let me teach you how to make the sauce first, and then we will fry the foie gras."
Foie gras has a wide range of sauces. Basically, as long as it is sour, sweet and slightly salty, it can be paired with foie gras.
He set up a small soup pot for making sauce, poured the prepared sour plum sauce into it, then added half a bowl of red wine, and started to simmer.
Red wine is an essential ingredient in foie gras cooking. It not only increases the wine aroma of foie gras, but also makes the foie gras taste softer, more tender and more delicate.
Boil the sour plum sauce and stir it repeatedly with a spoon.
When the smell of red wine has evaporated, add a small amount of large sea salt and a small spoonful of sugar to the pot.
Stir evenly again, use a slotted spoon to break out the core of the sour plum, continue to cook until thick, pour into a glass bowl and set aside.
Then Lin Xu cored the green apple, cut it into about eight millimeter thick slices, prepared a few slices of bread, and finally took the piece of foie gras and placed it on the chopping board and began to decompose it.
The decomposition of foie gras is very particular. Do not cut it too hard, as this will destroy the original delicate texture of foie gras.
You have to use a thin knife to cut the foie gras. When cutting, you need to scald the knife with boiling water, and use the temperature of the knife to cut the foie gras, or melt it.
The foie gras at this moment feels and textures like freshly frozen cream.
If you touch it slightly with your hand, there will be signs of melting on the surface.
Therefore, professional people who cut foie gras will even dip their hands in ice water to lower the temperature of their hands to prevent the foie gras from melting.
But Lin Xu didn’t do that.
He believes that food can have a sense of ritual, but it cannot be kidnapped by the sense of ritual.
Otherwise, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Place the foie gras on the chopping board, cut it into 1cm thick slices with a knife, and put it on a plate on the side.
After the foie gras was cut, Lin Xu brought another handmade bread made by Qi Siming and cut it into one centimeter thick slices.
When everything is ready, set up a pan, put butter in the pan, heat it up, add bread slices and apple slices, and start frying.
"Bread is the golden partner of foie gras, especially pan-fried foie gras. No matter how you cook it, you can always see bread at the bottom of the plate."
While Lin Xu was frying bread, Qi Siming was explaining the steps beside him.
Qiu Zhentao smiled and said:
“Foie gras has a strong greasy feel, which makes it easy to get greasy when eaten alone, and oil is easy to seep out after frying. If you put it directly on the plate, it will affect the appearance of the dish... So placing a piece of bread underneath can solve the problem perfectly.
These two questions."
After finishing speaking, he asked like a teacher testing students:
"Siming, do you know the purpose of putting the apples?"
Qi Siming opened his mouth:
"Is it used to remove greasiness?"
"It not only removes greasiness, but also increases the taste. When making foie gras in Western food, the ingredients are usually stacked. Ordinary restaurants and chefs will stack two layers, that is, foie gras and bread, and then pour some sauce. The higher-end ones
There will be three layers superimposed, one of which is fruit, and most of the fruits are apples or pineapples."
By stacking ingredients, the taste will become more diverse.
For example, foie gras, the top is the sweet and sour taste of fried apples, the middle is the melt-in-your-mouth texture of foie gras, and the bottom is the crispy bread slices.
One bite, the exquisite taste of the three ingredients alone is enough to make people exclaim that it is delicious.
Lin Xu fried the bread and apple slices until they were browned on both sides and took them out.
Arrange a slice of bread on each plate and put the apple slices aside.
Then he cleaned the pan, put it back on the stove, and turned it on to medium heat.
Taking advantage of this time, he crushed the bread crumbs with a food processor and poured it into a small basin, then put the sliced foie gras into it. After coating both sides with bread crumbs, the pan was already hot.
Add the foie gras dipped in bread crumbs and fry over medium heat.
Qi Siming was a little surprised:
"What does this mean? You need to wrap it in bread crumbs?"
Qiu Zhenhua did not answer his question, but asked:
"Have you ever eaten crispy cream ice cream?"
"Have eaten it."
"How does it compare to regular cream ice cream?"
"I think it tastes better than ordinary butter. After it has a crispy skin, it has an extra layer of texture... Is this what it means to wrap foie gras in bread crumbs?"
Because the pot was hot, there was a sizzling sound as soon as the foie gras was put down, and yellow fat even gradually seeped out from underneath.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"If you like puff pastry, just roll it in bread crumbs or flour; if you like brown crust, just fry it... Some people even like it to be soft and tender. I'll make them all later. Just learn whichever method you like, so you don't have to choose.
."
When Zeng Xiaoqi and the others heard this, they all laughed softly.
Good guy, I just said that I wasn’t good at it and I was trying not to overturn it, but I didn’t expect that I would stop pretending.
Showing all your methods will block the other party's way.
I hope the TV station won’t make foie gras this time, otherwise I’m going to hit the target hard... Oh my god, when you think about it, why do you hope that the other party will make foie gras this time?
When we first started making it, the staff of the column team were still discussing in low voices the cruelty behind foie gras, and they felt unbearable.
But smelling the delicious smell wafting from the kitchen, everyone couldn't help but swallow.
This foie gras is so bad...so greedy!
When they were looking forward to having a taste of the delicious food, in the TV station's recording room, Min Zhengnan took a whole piece of white foie gras and said to Liu Guitian:
"This time I make foie gras and I will definitely beat Lin Xu in an instant!"
