Chapter 57 Chef Shen

The ups and downs of several consecutive days made Qin Mohan a little busy and almost forgot about the arrival of the flying guests.

On the morning of the sixth day, Zhang Liang and Yu Xiaotong took a vacation on mission. In addition to inspecting local food on the island, they were also responsible for going to Daluo Mansion to take the flying guest Gu Xuan over.

Qin Mohan arranged for Tang Yixin and Jin Mengjia to go to the restaurant to clean the food with a taxi first, and Shen Fang and he went to the vegetable market and supermarket to purchase ingredients themselves.

These days, the fruits and wines that Qin Mohan is responsible for purchasing are all the supermarkets that she went to. It was her first time to come to the local vegetable market in Thailand. She held Shenbang's arm and looked around curiously.

In China, since her fame has become more popular in the past two years, people have watched her when she goes there. She rarely does not disturb her shopping in the vegetable market to buy ingredients. This also makes her regretful. It is such a pleasant thing to go buy some fresh dishes with her beloved and make a table of delicious food after she gets home.

This wish came true in Thailand. The two of them wandered all the way, while the photographer followed the photo not far away. Chen Fang and Zhang Liang came to purchase for several consecutive days. The vegetable sellers in the vegetable market were no longer surprised. They could talk to each other even in front of the camera, although most of them didn't know what they said.

Although they are in a tropical area, most of the vegetables in the Thai vegetable market are similar to those in China. The two of them purchase some of the local specialty vegetables according to the recipes determined in advance. Although they can't name them, Chen Fang also bought a lot of them under Qin Mohan's encouragement. At worst, they could ask Ajie what these were, and then consider how to cook them with Chinese food.

They first bought vegetables and fruits, bought a few fresh sea fish, shrimps and crabs at the seafood market, and then went to the supermarket to buy pork belly and meat before the two returned to the restaurant.

Seeing the two people coming in, Mocha who was playing on the beach with Jin Mengjia, Tang Yixin rushed over directly, and the wet sand on their feet stepped on the floor they had just cleaned.

"Mocha!" Hearing Tang Yixin's scream, Mocha was stunned, and then hid behind Qin Mohan and looked at them secretly.

The store was busy two days ago and didn’t bother to tease it. The business was bad the next two days, so I was not in the mood to tease it. Today, the few people regained their mood and could tease it.

After they cleaned up the vegetables, Chen Fang did not ask a few girls to help, and asked them to accompany Moka to have fun on the beach, leaving the rest of the work to herself. But Qin Mohan explained to them that she was busy with Chen Zhen in the kitchen. She knew that Chen Fang didn't like to deal with ingredients, and he liked the cooking process.

I didn’t prepare any big dishes today, just some stir-frying and simple cooking. Although it is simple, the ingredients must be processed first. It is impossible to open a restaurant like at home. I spend two or three hours slowly just to make one dish.

Make a lion's head first, the English translation is large    meatball. Although many foreigners do not understand what it has to do with lions, it does not hinder their love for this food.

Chen Fang was preparing to prepare dishes according to ten tables. He wanted to make meat filling first. Chen Fang didn't like to use ready-made meat filling because he didn't have the strength. He first peeled the pork belly he bought, then cut the meat into diced meat, and then chopped them into meat filling.

Qin Mohan helped him clean the horse's hooves and mushrooms, and then washed them and cut them into diced. Chen Fang didn't like to make pure meat lion heads. He liked to add some horse's hooves to them, which would have a crispy texture.

Add the diced horseshoe, diced mushrooms, and minced green onion and ginger, and then put it in a stainless steel basin. Add a small amount of egg white, salt, MSG, and raw powder. At this time, you have to beat them until the meat is glued. Qin Mohan gathered up his sleeves to prepare the meat filling for him. Shenfang grabbed her and kissed her on the face: "I'll do this, don't let your hands get oiled."

After Chen Fang finished speaking, he washed his hands, beat meat, and stirred it hard in the stainless steel basin. Qin Mohan cleaned the fruits and used them to make juice, and from time to time stuffed the processed mango, watermelon, pineapple, and mangosteen into Chen Fang's mouth. Their love performance made Tang Yixin, who originally wanted to come to help, also save her eating dog food here.

Make the meat filling and let Qin Mohan help the oil pan. The two of them cooperated and put them into the same size meatballs and put them in the oil pan. Qin Mohan took them out under Shen Fang's command, drained the oil and let cool it. Then put it on the plate with oil-absorbing paper, and wait until the customer ordered it, and braised it directly.

Chen Fang also fried some small meatballs specifically for snacks for the three of them. Although he was asking me to lose weight, Jin Mengjia and the others still ate it in Mocha's mouth-watering eyes.

"It's delicious, so just make more. Let's make a meatball soup."

Qin Mohan's proposal made Chen Fang roll his eyes at her: "Wait until Chef Zhang Liang will make it tomorrow. The meat filling I bought today is not enough."

"Tsk~" The other two men made disdainful expressions under the leadership of Qin Mohan.

The lion's head is ready and starts processing the meat used for stir-frying.

"I'll do this!" Qin Mohan volunteered to cut the pork with tenderloin and today he was going to launch shredded pork with Beijing sauce. Although Qin Mohan's knife skills were not satisfactory, I believe these foreigners would not use spoons to compare the length, thickness of the shredded pork.

Today, most seafood is steamed or fried, which is relatively simple to process. Steaming should keep its umami flavor. Add some scallions, ginger and fish sauce to improve freshness when it comes out of the pot. The fried ones need to be marinated in advance, but it has not been processed too much. He prepared at most ten tables of guests this morning.

Everything was processed and it was eleven o'clock. Chen Fang signaled that lunch could officially begin, and Jin Mengjia took the small blackboard "Chef Recommendation" written by Chen Fang yesterday to the gate.

Qin Mohan plays the album Han Xiao has just released on the audio. At present, this girl is more well-known overseas than Chen Fang and Qin Mohan.

“hello    it's    me

i    was    wondering    if    after    all    these    years    you''d    like    to    meet

…”

Listening to Han Xiao's magnetic voice ringing in the store, Jin Mengjia couldn't help asking Qin Mohan in the bar, "Sister Mohan, what is Han Xiao's flight guest?"

Qin Mohan thought for a while: "It should be around the 12th. She has just had summer vacation these two days and is following Tang Yuan to run the notice. Some notices have been waiting for her for a long time."

Jin Mengjia sat on the high stool in front of the bar and said to Qin Mohan: "I really admire her. She is one year younger than me, and she can sink like this."

"Haha, you can just tell her when she comes, how about arranging you to live in a room with her?"

Qin Mohan's proposal made Jin Mengjia very moved. She will take the entertainment host route in the future. How to become a powerful host is essential. This is also one of the reasons why she strives to get closer to Qin Mohan.

"Have lunch." Because of the nature of the business, the lunch time is relatively early, so you can work after eating. You start lunch at around 11 o'clock every day, and then have dinner at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After the business is over, if you feel hungry, you can have some late supper.

"You actually made a lion head?" Looking at the two plates of fried rice and a steamed lion head brought by Chen Fang, Qin Mohan couldn't help complaining: "I have made ten lion heads myself, and we have one. Isn't there a chef's meal missing at that time?"

Chen Fang reached out and knocked on her head: "It's over, Qin Mohan, you really treat me as the chef. Seeing that you like to eat small meatballs, you kindly help you make a serving and taste it. You dare to complain."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Qin Mohan looked at him and wanted to knock on him, so he hurriedly hid behind the bar.

Chen Fang pulled her out and divided one of the lions' heads with half of them, and the other one was shared by Tang Yixin and Jin Mengjia. The meat was firm and tender, and the texture of the mushrooms and horse's hooves was crisper and mellow.

"How about it, this lion head costs 400 baht, not expensive."

"It's not expensive, it's only 80 yuan, which is not worthy of our Chef Shen's kung fu money."

When I was still priced at 400 yuan and felt that it was worth the money, I heard that Tang Yixin had only 80 yuan in RMB, and Chen Fang was a little excited. It seemed that he would still be cheaper and he would have to raise the price next time.

After the employee meal, the three of them did not let Chen Fang do it and cleaned up. It was also time for lunch. Han Xiao's singing was spread to the outdoors through the hall, to the customers passing by on the beach. Seeing the new recommendation from the store owner at the door, these tourists were interested in trying.

"Shopkeeper Chen, the guest is here."

"Table No. 3, one portion of shredded pork with Beijing sauce, one portion of big meatballs."

"Sister Mo Han, I need a portion of rice on the No. 4 table."

...

Just like Chen Fang expected, a total of ten tables were hosted, with a total of twenty-five guests. The last two guests from Spain were declined and had to choose to leave with regret.

The four of them were relatively relaxed to greet more than 20 guests in two hours. As the chef, Chen Fang had time to go to the bar to make a glass of wine for himself as a conditioner.

"Shopkeeper, how much is the income at noon today?" Jin Mengjia couldn't help asking Qin Mohan when she saw off the last table of guests.

"Eight,200 yuan. The cost of buying vegetables this morning was 2,600 yuan. With the seasonings and wine that were spread out, it should be around 3,000 yuan. We made a profit of 5,000 yuan in the morning."

"Ouye!" Jin Mengjia and Tang Yixin were excited to celebrate. After two days of losses, they finally started to make a profit today, and the efforts of the few people finally paid off.

Only Shen is calm and calm: "You must be calm and not be moved by external things. From now on, we will cook ten tables of dishes for each meal. This meal cannot be eaten. Please be early for the next meal. Individual guests can be received separately, but we must also control the quantity. We must conduct hunger marketing appropriately. Otherwise, you will have fifteen tables today, twenty tables tomorrow, and ten tables the day after tomorrow. This is not easy to prepare dishes, and you are still tired to death."

"Sister Mo Han, I see that Manager Chen said something makes sense. We can't determine the traffic here. It's better to make a regular basis according to our dishes."

Tang Yixin also echoed: "We can turn over the tables at most once at ten tables, and we don't need to take time to wash the tableware in the middle, which is much easier."

"I just feel a little unwilling to accept it. When we watch the guests enter the door, we want to drive them out, feeling sorry for them."
