The kitchen of Tangtang Pickled Fish is not quiet tonight, there is the sound of crackling keyboards and the sound of flames burning.
The amazing thing is that these two sounds are intertwined and continuous, creating another strange sense of tranquility.
Just like the sound of the pen tip rustling on the paper in a quiet evening self-study classroom, there is obviously a sound, but it makes the private room even more silent.
The sound of typing on the keyboard was naturally from Sun Quan typing words.
Writing novels is a dead end, but he is still on this dead end now, so he can only continue to work hard, otherwise he will not even have to go to the dead end.
At this time, he used the side dish chopping board as a computer desk, and placed his laptop on the chopping board. He was quite engrossed in typing, and he felt that his peace of mind was also his body's peace.
On the liquefied gas stove not far away, the pressure cooker sat steadily on the stove, and the flame continued to burn below.
Some water steam sprayed out from the top of the pressure cooker from time to time slowly filled the kitchen with an alluring aroma late at night. I am not afraid to tell you that what is being cooked inside is ribs.
Sun Quan had already canceled the small single room he rented with the landlord yesterday. Now he eats and sleeps in this store. Anyway, there are two rooms on the second floor, one can be used as a living room and the other can be used as a study room for him to code.
It's just that the store is about to open and it will officially open to the public tomorrow. The chef introduced to him by Teacher Qin will not come to work until tomorrow. Tonight, he has to prepare some of the main dishes that will be sold tomorrow.
The braised chicken has been cooked, and now he is making braised pork ribs. There will be a pot of braised pork knuckles waiting for him later.
Cooking these dishes wouldn't be very busy, so he just sat down and wrote some manuscripts. Cooking is to make money, and writing manuscripts also makes money!
He doesn't think it's tiring. He's afraid of being poor. It may be annoying to others to do two things at the same time, but it doesn't matter to him. As long as he can make money, he has no regrets even after nine deaths.
Besides, when the ribs and pork knuckles are ready, you can also hold some late-night snacks for typing. While typing, put a piece in your mouth and chew it. Isn’t that a beautiful feeling?
Find fun in life and enjoy it!
He is quite enjoying it now.
Halfway through writing a chapter, the alarm of his mobile phone on the chopping board rang. It was the time he had set in advance. He turned his head and glanced at the mobile phone. Sun Quan smiled, stopped typing, and turned off the phone.
After ringing the alarm, I got up and walked to the liquefied gas stove, turned off the fire. Then I came back and continued typing.
While typing, let’s wait for the heat in the pressure cooker to dissipate slowly! He was not in a hurry.
After he finished typing up the chapter in his hand, he stretched out, picked up the teacup on the chopping board and took a sip of tea, then lit a cigarette, calmly opened the lid of the pressure cooker, reached in and picked up the
He put a piece of ribs in his mouth.
The texture is moderately soft, the taste is good, and the spiciness is okay...
While chewing, he made an evaluation in his mind, and his eyes were also examining the color of the ribs in the pressure cooker. The color was not bad. The color could be a little darker next time. Well, the sugar could be added to improve the freshness.
He turned around and got a stainless steel basin, poured all the ribs in the pressure cooker into it, picked up the chopsticks on the chopping board, picked up another piece and put it into his mouth.
Good things come in pairs. Now that you've eaten one piece, let's eat another piece!
He is in a good mood.
Turn around and go to the fierce stove to cook braised pork knuckles.
The key technique for dishes such as Braised Chicken, Braised Pork Ribs and Braised Pork Knuckles lies in the cooking of the sauce. He has already cooked a lot of them this afternoon. If nothing else, it should be enough for about a week.
With that sauce, other cooking techniques are not difficult for Sun Quan.
After all, he is an academic chef, and the biggest characteristic of this type of chef is his mastery of various cooking techniques, such as powdering, sizing, battering, thickening, braised in soy sauce, sweet and sour, salt and pepper, soup and shredded dishes.
various practices.
Of course, being an academic chef also has its own shortcomings.
For example: You are arrogant and arrogant, and it is difficult to put down your body to do dirty words and hard work at first.
For example: Although I have a lot of cooking knowledge, my practical ability is weak.
Another example: I know some of all the major cuisines and know some, but I am broad but not expert. I know some of any cuisine, but I am not particularly good at any cuisine.
etc.
Sun Quan also had these shortcomings in the past, but life is the best kind of honesty. The life experience of more than ten years before his rebirth made him less impetuous and specialized in some specialties.
About twenty minutes later, he poured all the pig knuckles from the double-eared iron pot into the pressure cooker.
These pig trotters have just been processed for the first time - removing the fishy smell, coloring, seasoning, etc.
At this time, pour it into the pressure cooker, then cook it in the pressure cooker for a while, and it will be almost ok.
The reason why the word "almost" is used here is because the pig's trotters that have been braised in a pressure cooker need to be poured into a large iron pot over high heat to collect the juice before being served to the guests. To put it bluntly, this is
Reduce the heat of the soup to make the soup thicker in the pig's hands.
The thickened soup will be darker and brighter in color, and the taste will be more mellow.
The pressure cooker sat on the liquefied gas stove again, turned on the stove, and Sun Quan went back to wash his hands, returned to the chopping board, and set an alarm on his phone.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, uploaded a chapter and saved it to the author's backend. After a while of brewing, he started coding the next chapter.
He actually likes such a busy and fulfilling life.
Because this will make him feel confident and know that he has not wasted his time.
…
midnight.
After finishing today's Chapter 5 manuscript, Sun Quan wrapped the already cooled braised chicken, braised pork ribs, and braised pork knuckles with plastic wrap, and then placed them one by one in the fresh-keeping area of the refrigerator.
Grab your computer, take your cigarettes and tea cup and go upstairs.
That night, he slept soundly.
In sleep, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised.
Maybe, in the dream, he was also coding and cooking?
…
The next morning, he crossed the road in front of the store and went to the print shop diagonally opposite to pick up the store signs, menus and promotional pages he had ordered in advance.
When he returned to the store, he first hung two large red menus measuring 80 by 60 on the left and right walls of the hall.
The contents on these two large menus are exactly the same.
The top is braised chicken, priced at 7 yuan per portion.
Next is braised pork ribs, priced at 8 yuan per portion.
Next is the braised pork knuckle, 8 yuan per portion.
In addition, there are side dishes for customers to choose freely, such as green vegetables, Qianzhang shredded noodles, vermicelli, potatoes, etc., and the price of each of these side dishes is 50 cents.
In other words, whether a customer comes in and orders braised chicken, braised pork ribs, or braised pork knuckles, unless he or she does not add any side dishes, the final consumption will definitely be more.
At the bottom of the large menu, there are also the prices of various drinks and wines. Of course, the main ones are all kinds of drinks, and the only drinks are beer and Erguotou.
