Chapter 156 Boss Lin, my grandfather has come to see you!
Ma Zhiqiang has rich work experience.
Before becoming a temporary worker working on a running table wherever there was work in the capital, he had opened a small restaurant, joined the Braised Chicken and Rice franchise, and contracted the window of the school cafeteria...
My work experience is almost as good as Uncle Gao’s love history.
At this moment, the boss asked him to cook a canteen-style roasted eggplant meal, and he immediately got to work.
Wash the eggplant, chop it into hob pieces with a kitchen knife, and say while chopping:
"The eggplant pieces made in this dish in the cafeteria are relatively large, because they look like a lot of large portions when propped up like this."
After cutting, put the eggplant cubes into a basin, beat an egg in it, sprinkle some salt, stir evenly and put some flour in it:
"Starch is too expensive and the batter is too thin, so school cafeterias use flour. This makes the batter thicker, which not only makes it bigger and tastes better, but also saves more fuel when frying."
If you start with taste, there are endless possibilities for delicious food.
But starting from the cost point of view, all ingredients, ingredients, and condiments will be compressed and re-compressed. Only in this way can sufficient profits be guaranteed.
This is what Ma Zhiqiang is doing now.
In his words, when it is actually made in the school cafeteria, eggs are not even added to the batter. Instead, some water is poured directly on the eggplant cubes to ensure that the flour can stick to it.
After the eggplant cubes are ready.
He heated up the oil in a pot, and when the oil was hot, he prepared some tomatoes, green and red peppers and fungus.
There is usually no shortage of these ingredients.
"In winter, when eggplants are more expensive, some onions will be added to add weight. However, in summer, eggplants are cheaper, so there is no need to do this."
Lin Xu and Xie Baomin looked at each other in shock.
In order to save money, I really do everything possible.
One of the two brothers has been working in Diaoyutai since the beginning, and the business has been booming since the other opened a shop. They have never experienced the embarrassment of those small restaurant owners who want to be broken in half for every penny.
So now listening to Ma Zhiqiang’s explanation, I feel a little emotional for no reason.
I always feel that people in the catering industry are really miserable.
After the oil is hot, Ma Zhiqiang grabs the eggplant pieces wrapped in batter and puts them into the oil pan. He starts frying until the batter on the surface turns golden and takes them out.
No further bombing.
The biggest function of re-frying is to force out the excess fat.
These eggplant pieces are originally wrapped in thick batter, so leaving some fat will make them taste more fragrant. If the fat is forced out, the flavor will not be enough.
Watch Ma Zhiqiang’s operation.
Xie Baomin finally realized the difference between himself and the school chef:
"My approach is indeed too refined..."
Ma Zhiqiang poured out the oil from the pot and started frying.
He put the chopped green onions and garlic into the pot and sauteed until fragrant, then added half a spoon of tomato paste, stir-fried until fragrant, added water, and started seasoning. In addition to salt, sugar, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce, he also added chicken essence and MSG. p>
After finishing, pour the fungus and tomato pieces into the pot.
Tomatoes are added at this point, naturally not for frying tomato juice. They should be added just like green and red peppers, purely for garnishing.
Bring the soup in the pot to a boil, stir it twice, then pour in the fried eggplant cubes and green and red peppers.
Pour it in and bring to a boil.
Then thicken the soup with starch water, simmer the soup until it is thick, pour some cooking oil into the pot, and remove from the pot.
The roasted eggplant made by this method has a rich aroma, the soup is thick, the eggplant is red with tomato sauce, the tomatoes are basically formed, and the green and red peppers are half-cooked.
Well, that’s what it tastes like!
Lin Xu suddenly found the feeling of eating in the cafeteria.
Without saying a word, he went to serve a bowl of rice.
He also used a spoon to scoop up some soup from the roasted eggplant made by Ma Zhiqiang, put a few slightly rotten eggplant pieces in a bowl, and took a bite with the rice.
I returned to the Caida Canteen in a second.
It's a pity that there are no cafeteria ladies holding spoons to prepare rice and classmates queuing up, otherwise the sense of immersion would be even stronger.
"Brother, please try it too. This is the taste of the canteen. Use chicken essence and MSG to bring out the taste. It is stronger and more intuitive than your pork bone broth."
Although the soup stock can also add fresh flavor.
But compared with professional freshness-enhancing seasonings, it's still a bit unsatisfactory.
Xie Baomin felt relieved now.
He smiled helplessly:
"I thought there was something wrong, but it turned out to be like this...Thank you, Xiaoma, for letting me see the food in the school cafeteria."
Ma Zhiqiang finished washing the pot and is now preparing lunch for everyone:
"You're welcome, thank you, Master. It's just a little help from me."
Soon.
Lunch begins.
Shen Jiayue also came to get the lunch box.
But when she saw two portions of roasted eggplant on the table, she asked curiously:
"Eggplants are cheap today? How about making two eggplant dishes?"
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"Today, my senior brother competed with the master chef of the school cafeteria in terms of cooking skills, so there are two roasted eggplants, one is the high-end hotel version, and the other is the school cafeteria version."
Shen Jiayue immediately extended her chopsticks to the roasted eggplant cooked by Ma Zhiqiang:
"Then I'll choose the school cafeteria. I still remember that every time the aunt in our school cafeteria gave you a big portion of roasted eggplant, I wouldn't give it to you even if I wanted to try it. I'm a cheapskate."
Thinking of her college days, this girl has a sweet smile on her face.
That is our youth!
I have you in my youth, and you have me in your youth. How wonderful!
She tasted what Ma Zhiqiang made and then what Xie Baomin made, and commented seriously:
"The one made by senior brother tastes better, and the eggplant skin is crispy, but the one made by Master Ma is more delicious, because that's what the school cafeteria makes."
Ho...
No offense to either party, you are really a master of holding water.
If you talk to your father-in-law and mother-in-law like this, you won't always be on the verge of being beaten... Lin Xu silently complained about his girlfriend, then looked at Xie Baomin and asked:
"Brother, you can try again when you go home tonight. If it doesn't work, we will send Master Ma here. If you don't believe me, you can't do it as a junior high school cafeteria master."
Xie Baomin was relieved now.
At least if you use the cooking learning card on him, there will no longer be angry skill prompts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He smiled and said:
"It's not their fault, it's my fault. I've been cooking at home the same way I cooked in Diaoyutai. It's no wonder that the children don't like it. Compared with what Master Ma cooks, I have a lot less fireworks."
The food and beverages in the hotel basically have nothing to do with fireworks.
However, in some farmhouse restaurants, you can enjoy dishes with a smoky flavor.
Xie Baomin finally came to his senses. Why was it that last time his wife took the children to Xishan for a camping trip, she was so happy when she heard that he was not going?
Maybe you dislike yourself for not having any fireworks?
We must get rid of this shortcoming in the future and treat work and life separately.
Be a smoldering pillar at home, and a demanding executive chef at Diaoyutai.
Thought of this.
He said seriously to Lin Xu:
"Junior brother, thank you for making me understand the importance of separating life and work."
Lin Xu:????
Why are you suddenly saying thank you?
You don't want to dance "Listen to me and say thank you", do you?
Xie Baomin was ready to go home without even bothering to eat, planning to confess his shortcomings to his family:
"I'm going back first, junior brother. The staff meals in your store should be changed like this. I'll teach you how to make Zaozhuang spicy chicken later. It's more suitable for eating rice..."
Wait until he leaves.
Lin Xu still didn't understand the reason why his senior brother thanked him.
But Zaozhuang spicy chicken...
This dish is pretty good.
Since you haven’t learned how to cook eggplant, it would be a good idea to learn this dish.
After learning how to make Zaozhuang spicy chicken, there will be at least one more way to eat chicken in the store. Unlike now, where you can either steam or stir-fry chicken, the limitations are too great.
"Today I told Uncle Tan that the store will be closed for renovation in the near future. He immediately asked Assistant Yuan to start arranging business trips. If I can't eat the food you cooked, I don't want to stay in the capital for a moment..."
Shen Jiayue told interesting stories about Tan Yajun while eating.
Although Shen Guofu prides himself on being a gourmet little prince every day, he is far less picky than Tan Yajun when it comes to food. This is why in the group that day, when Tan Yajun said that Lin Ji’s food was delicious, his friends were immediately moved. Reason.
Lin Xu said:
"When I go to work in Diaoyutai, I can also send him a lunch."
"Okay, I'll tell Uncle Tan when I get back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jiayue said:
"By the way, it will be inconvenient for you to take the subway to and from work in the future. My dad prepared a mobility scooter for you. Yesterday, he sent it for inspection and maintenance. By the way, it was cleaned inside and outside. The company driver may give it to you in the afternoon. Come, remember to accept it."
Scooter?
Hearing these three words, Lin Xu unconsciously flashed the figure of an elderly scooter in his mind.
Isn’t this kind of car banned from the road in Beijing?
Could it be a small tram like Hongguang Mini?
That's okay, at least it's much better than taking the subway, because the subway station is a certain distance from Diaoyutai, and it takes a long time to walk through the gate of Diaoyutai to Building 2.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
After finishing the busy period at noon.
Lin Xugang was going back to the community behind to take a nap.
A man in his mid-twenties opened the door and walked in:
"Boss Lin, Mr. Shen asked me to come over and deliver the trolley to you..."
Delivered so quickly?
Lin Xulu came to the door happily and said with a smile:
"Thank you, I asked you to make a special trip...Give me the car keys...eh? Mercedes-Benz?"
Lin Xu was a little stunned when he saw the car key.
It's actually a Mercedes-Benz car key.
Don't you mean a scooter?
Isn’t that what you think?
He pushed the door open and went out, only to see a white Mercedes-Benz G63 parked quietly in the parking space at the door, which is also the legendary Mercedes-Benz G.
Is this the mobility scooter that Classmate Shen is talking about?
Does she have any misunderstanding about the word "transportation"?
"The car has just been serviced, the inside has been cleaned, and the oil has been filled. The fuel card is in the secret compartment in front of the passenger seat..."
When Lin Xu was in a daze.
The driver who delivered the car was busy introducing the car.
After he finished speaking, Lin Xu came back to his senses.
He got in the car and took a test drive. It felt very good. It was indeed a multi-million dollar luxury car. It was stable to drive and the sound insulation effect was also very good.
After parking the car in the parking space again, Lin Xucheng said to the guy who sent the car:
"Thank you for taking this trip on such a hot day. What do you call me?"
This guy said:
"My name is Zoucheng, and I am Mr. Shen's driver, but he prefers to drive by himself, so I am responsible for the company's vehicle maintenance and regularly send the car to the 4S shop for maintenance."
Wow, this is a good job.
Just driving around in a luxury car all day is enough. Most people can’t get such a good job, right?
Perhaps seeing the confusion in Lin Xu's eyes, Zou Cheng said:
"My sister is Mr. Shen's secretary, so I'm lucky enough to get such a job... If nothing happens, I'll go back to Boss Lin first. If you have any problems with the car, just call me. I'm on the back of the gas card. mobile phone number."
His sister specifically explained this before coming here.
This boss Lin is Mr. Shen’s son-in-law, so you must be polite when you speak. Don’t take the initiative to add WeChat when others don’t ask, so as not to annoy others.
All in all.
You must treat Boss Lin with the same respect as Mr. Shen.
Others don't know, but Secretary Xiao Zou knows very well how much Mr. Shen values his son-in-law.
After Zoucheng left.
Lin Xu circled the car twice more before returning to the store with the car keys.
I have a car.
Or the luxury car that others dream of.
But Lin Xu was not too happy. He felt that it was better to earn money to buy a car and drive it. Driving someone else's car, even if it belonged to his father-in-law, felt alienating.
While I was thinking about it, the system prompt sounded in my mind:
"The host did not lose himself in the rich material, but instead inspired new fighting spirit. Special reward for the outstanding special ingredient - steamed pork powder. Congratulations to the host."
Lin Xu:????
Is there a reward?
And it’s also the steamed meat powder technique.
Doesn’t that mean you can make dishes like steamed pork, steamed chicken, and steamed pork ribs?
Not bad, not bad. I had known that my father-in-law had declined the offer last time when he gave me a store. I wonder if similar rewards would be triggered.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Well, if it works, wouldn't it be another way to pluck wool?
After the hassle of delivering the car and testing the car, Lin Xu perfectly missed his nap time.
Since you can’t sleep, let’s try making this steamed pork powder.
I'll try steaming some pork belly in the afternoon.
If it tastes good, the store will add a new dish again.
The utilization rate of the steam cabinet will also increase again.
It's a pity that the store is about to close, so there is no need to serve new dishes. Otherwise, Lin Xu would have served two steamed dishes to increase the store's turnover.
"Is that big G outside your car, boss? It's so beautiful!"
Chezi looked at the Mercedes-Benz G63 outside the window, his eyes full of envy and longing.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"My father-in-law lent me the car. I will give it back to him if I don't go to work in Diaoyutai later."
Going to Diaoyutai is impossible without a car.
But after the new store opened, he lived in the community behind it, so there was no need for such a garish car. Not to mention driving it a few times, he had to be careful of being scratched at all times.
Lin Xu put the car keys into the cashier drawer and rubbed Dundun's big, round head.
There are no lottery opportunities these two days.
The interaction between father and son is also much less.
He played with the little guy for a while and then returned to the kitchen.
Wash your hands first, then take out the rice and glutinous rice from the storage room, put them into the basin in a ratio of one to one, wash them twice, then add water and start soaking.
Steamed pork powder needs to be soaked first, and then stir-fried until the rice is thoroughly soaked, so that the rice grains will break apart easily.
Just soaked the rice.
Dou Wenjing walked in with a man carrying a computer bag.
"Mr. Lin, this is Zheng Xiaoguang, the chief designer of Jinghua Design Office. He is very good at designing high-end restaurants, hotels, clubs and other high-end projects. Now the overall sketch has been released. Please take a look at it first. If you have any requests,
Put it forward and let Teacher Zheng make adjustments and modifications."
Is it going to be fine so soon?
Lin Xu wiped his hands and came outside.
The designer was polite and polite. After chatting with Lin Xu, he took out his laptop, opened it and showed the completed design drawings.
First is the kitchen.
"I designed the kitchen on the second floor because the larger the area for individual customers on the first floor, the more customers it will attract. On the contrary, if more than half of the area on the first floor is occupied by the kitchen and the front desk, the ability to attract individual customers will be greatly reduced.
."
As expected of someone who is good at designing restaurants and hotels, he still understands the psychology of individual travelers very well.
Not all customers are relaxed and leisurely. Quite a few people are very nervous about eating time. If they have to climb the stairs to the second floor to eat a bowl of noodles, for those who are worried about trouble, it is better to find another restaurant.
Zheng Xiaoguang explained while letting Lin Xu look at the design drawings.
For example, considering that there are many steamed dishes in the store, he specially designed a larger steam room, so that he does not have to worry about insufficient space when making steamed dishes in the future.
In addition, in order to facilitate the transportation of food, there are several small elevators dedicated to food transportation.
The waiters on the first and third floors only need to wait in the waiting room.
It can save the labor cost of carrying food.
In addition, the kitchen is also divided into different areas such as barbecue area, cold dish area, stir-fry area and pastry area. Finally, everyone no longer has to work together in a noisy manner.
After looking at the kitchen, then there is the private room on the third floor.
There are more than 20 private rooms designed on the third floor. The private rooms are large and small. The small private rooms can only seat six or seven people, while the largest private room has a large round table that can seat 24 people.<
/p>
After reading it, I returned to the second floor again. The kitchen alone occupies half of the area on the second floor, and the remaining half is made into booths to allow customers to have a little privacy.
As for the first floor, it is the front desk and individual customer area.
There is an elevator on each side of the front desk for customers to go up and downstairs, and next to it is a long, oversized aquarium, which can be divided into different areas for stocking fresh river fish or seafood, so that customers can choose more intuitively.<
/p>
Read the entire design drawing.
Lin Xu thinks the style is pretty good.
It’s also in line with my own imagination.
After reading the interior design part, the last step is the door.
The exterior wall adopts the new Chinese style, which is fashionable but not too prominent. It is somewhat similar to the style of the current store.
Zheng Xiaoguang pointed at the door and said:
"Our design office has cooperated with many calligraphers. We can ask them to inscribe the store name at a low price, which makes it appear more high-end. If the money is more, we can even ask the disciples of Mr. Tateyama, who is the most famous in recent years, to do the inscriptions.
."
Mr. Tateyama’s...disciple?
Lin Xu was happy when he heard it. The name of the store in the store LOGO was inscribed by Mr. Tateyama himself. If the door owner asked his disciples to mention it, would Geng Lele's grandfather have to demolish the store?
He smiled and said:
"No need, we know other calligraphers."
Zheng Xiaoguang thought Lin Xu was worried about being deceived, so he was about to continue with a few more words of advice.
Geng Lele's voice sounded at the door:
"Boss Lin, my grandpa comes to see you!"
Zheng Xiaoguang turned his face.
I saw a girl in high school uniform walking into the store with an old man in practice uniform.
