Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! Chapter 244 Redeem and upgrade tasks! As we all know, the four major stews in Northeast China are five dishes!
Chapter 244 Redeem and upgrade tasks! As we all know, the four major stews in Northeast China are five dishes!
"This upgrade task requires points, do you want to redeem them?"
Lin Xu was flustered by the sudden arrival of customers. As soon as he saw one million points added to his account, he immediately entered the system, clicked on the teaching and training column, found Ji Minghui's name, and selected the hand-made noodles upgrade.
Soon, a page asking whether to redeem or not popped up on the system light screen.
"Yes!"
The system prompt sounds again:
"The host consumes points and obtains the task of upgrading the hand-made noodles skill from pastry chef Ji Minghui. Do you want to read the task content immediately?"
"Yes!"
"Ask the host to guide Ji Minghui to make one hundred bowls of hand-made noodles within three days. After completion, the host will be rewarded with a lottery draw for excellent basic cooking techniques, and Ji Minghui will be rewarded with perfect hand-made noodles techniques."
(Note: Counting from the date of skill upgrade, if an employee leaves within three years, the upgraded skills will be automatically deducted, and will not be affected after three years)
What does the following prompt mean?
If employees want to fully acquire upgraded skills, do they still have to work at Lam Kee for three years?
Tsk tsk tsk...
System, system, you are so evil!
Reminiscing that in the past, even the master's name appeared on the list of chefs recognized by the system, Lin Xu felt that this so-called cooking god system should be renamed the chandelier system more appropriately.
But this is good, as it saves some employees from learning to carry buckets and running away, causing them to lose a lot of points.
Putting aside his thoughts, Lin Xu said to Ji Minghui, who was helping to knead the dough:
"Master Ji, I think there is room for improvement in your hand-rolled noodle skills. Otherwise, you can make hand-rolled noodles for everyone for lunch and dinner these days. I will share with you some tips for making hand-rolled noodles.
Techniques."
Ji Minghui nodded eagerly upon hearing this:
"Okay, okay, I'm just wondering how I can help. It would be great if I could get some advice from you, boss. I heard Master Niu say that he suddenly got started after being given your advice."
Niu Chuang on the side agreed:
"It's true. The boss only guided me for a few days and I started to get started. Although my hand-rolling skills are not as good as the boss's, I am much better than before."
A few people are like an assembly line.
Niu Chuang and several other dough masters rolled out the dough and handed it to Ji Minghui. Ji Minghui rolled it into pieces and handed it to Lin Xu. Lin Xu adjusted the dough and rolled it out to perfection, then cut it into noodles and put it aside.
Start cooking in the noodle pot.
I was busy until two o'clock in the afternoon.
The customers who came to check in gradually left.
At this time, the food ingredients in the store were also sold out. In the braised food department, the new pressed pig head was the first to be sold out.
Next came tiger skin chicken feet and various duck products.
Less than one o'clock, the braised food department led by Xu Xinhua entered the closing stage ahead of schedule.
But it's not appropriate to say it's closed, because they just hung a sold-out sign on the window, and then took the time to start packing up the ingredients in the braised food department, trying to make another batch before dinner.
Lin Xu finished his work, wiped the sweat from his head and came downstairs. He had to figure out what was going on with the sudden appearance of one million.
"Tiantian, does anyone apply for a card today?"
"There are some bosses, but most of them just want to get a higher number. Only Mr. Chen recharged one million, and even the bank called to inquire."
The recent card cancellation operation has led to stricter supervision of large-value financial transactions, so the hotel suddenly had an extra million in its account, and the bank quickly inquired about the specific situation.
Sister-in-law?
What is she doing all of a sudden for a million dollars?
Are you planning to top up your membership card in the store?
Lin Xu took out his mobile phone and sent Mr. Chen a WeChat message to express his gratitude:
"Sister Yan is so grand and worthy of being the heartthrob of our family!"
Chen Yan replied:
"Hmph, let's see if your wife will tell me that I'm a freeloader... In the afternoon I'm going to drink jade soup for beauty and beauty, and I'm also going to eat some snacks that can replenish collagen. You can figure it out."
After recharging one million, my sister-in-law obviously became more assertive.
Lin Xu naturally cooperated fully with this "big sister on the list" and quickly replied:
"No problem, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
After thanking his sister-in-law, he picked up Dundun who was sleeping next to him.
There is also a lottery for perfect mushroom dishes if you make one million a day. While your son is right next to you, let’s take a chance and see what dishes you can get.
After picking up Dundun and interacting for a while, he muttered silently in his heart:
"Lottery!"
After a series of operations, the results of the lottery came out quickly:
"Congratulations to the host for getting the perfect mushroom dish - chicken stewed with mushrooms."
What?
Chicken stewed with mushrooms?
Lin Xu was really surprised this time.
I originally thought it would be great if I could smoke mushroom meatballs or mushroom soup, but I didn’t expect that I would directly win this Northeastern dish, which is famous at home and abroad.
He is indeed a good son who eats chicken drumsticks in the morning, he is awesome!
Lin Xu put Dundun back on the service table and asked Song Tiantian with a smile:
"Tiantian, chicken stewed with mushrooms, doesn't it have a high status in the hearts of you Northeastern people?"
"That's a must! Among the four major stews in our Northeast, chicken stewed with mushrooms ranks first."
Oh?
Is there any saying about the four major stews in Northeast China?
Lin Xu then asked:
"What are the four major stews in Northeast China?"
You have to ask clearly. Maybe you can get the four major stews in Northeast China together later.
When the time comes, people from the Northeast will feel homesick and come to the store to cook a meal.
What's wrong is that there is an extra group of customers.
Speaking of the four major stews in Northeast China, Song Tiantian immediately blurted out:
"Chicken stewed with mushrooms, ribs stewed with beans, pork stewed with vermicelli, catfish stewed with eggplant, big bones stewed with sauerkraut..."
Lin Xu:??????
Tiantian, the math teacher in your sports school is also a physical education major, right?
Don’t you think these four stews are the same?
However, considering that the Four Heavenly Kings are also five people, it is quite normal that the four major stews in Northeast China have five dishes. If you add in dishes such as goose stew in an iron pot, there may be more.
Seeing Song Tiantian's fascination when talking about hometown dishes, he smiled and said:
"Are you homesick? If you can't wait any longer, I'll ask Che to buy some free-range chickens, some high-quality hazelnut mushrooms and potato vermicelli, and make chicken stewed with mushrooms to soothe your homesickness.
”
"Thank you boss, I will work hard!"
Leaving the service desk, Lin Xu walked towards the braised food department.
It was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the store's business got back on track, he planned to discuss with Dou Wenjing and Shu Yun to see if he could give the employees a vacation so that everyone could take turns returning to their hometowns.
Although they can’t afford a long vacation, it’s okay to let employees spend a reunion dinner with their parents and family members.
When I arrived at the braised food department, the pig heads for the afternoon had been packed away.
Since the remaining pig heads from yesterday and the four pig heads from the morning were completely insufficient for the customer's order, the truck driver increased the amount, and now there were eight neatly packed pig heads soaking in the basin.
Increase the amount, all dishes must increase the amount.
In the past, when the roadside store was sold out, everyone would just say that business was good, but now that the store is so big and sold out, it means that the co-ordinator is not professional enough.
After all, being sold out means that the dishes are not prepared enough, and it also means that the money that should be earned is not earned.
From a businessman's perspective, money you don't make is money you lose.
However, on the first day of business after renovation, it is difficult to find out the bottom line of customers' purchases. After all, this is just a trial opening.
Only after the business is fully opened can we know the amount of ingredients prepared every day.
At this time, the soup used to marinate the pig's head has become old, with a thick layer of fat floating on it, all of which is marinated from the pig's head.
The fat in the stewed soup can make the stewed ingredients more oily.
Moreover, it is sealed with fat, so the stewed soup can maintain a long-term temperature, making the stewed ingredients more crispy and fall off the bones.
However, if there is too much fat, the odor of the food will not be released during the marinating process, causing the taste to be re-absorbed by the food, resulting in a decline in the quality of the food.
Lin Xu scooped out the excess fat and poured it into the stewed tiger skin chicken feet.
Because tiger skin chicken feet have less fat, you need to put some lard in them every time you braise them.
Now it's fine, you can scoop it directly from the soup pot of braised pig heads. The braised food department no longer has to go upstairs to ask for lard, and can realize the internal circulation of fat by itself.
After stewing the pig head, Lin Xu went upstairs and started cooking today's other hot-selling dish, crystal elbows, with the chefs.
While he was busy, he remembered the dishes his sister-in-law ordered.
There are many vegetable shops that are rich in collagen. The pressed pig head that was just marinated and the crystal elbow that is being cooked now are both rich in collagen.
But when it comes to food...
These two are obviously not enough.
How about making a special dish for my sister-in-law?
Thinking about it, the rock sugar pork elbow that I have mastered is not so bad with rice. After all, that dish is close to a dessert.
Lin Xu muttered as he clicked on the system and looked for the dishes he had mastered in the skill bar to see if they could meet the needs of the top sister on the list.
While he was rummaging around, he saw a perfect braised dish that was awarded after completing the main mission last time - Braised Pork Knuckles.
At that time, Dundun helped herself draw three perfect meals.
Among them, Yangzhou fried rice and winter melon candy have been made a long time ago.
This is the only braised pork knuckle dish that I have never made before. I didn’t find a suitable opportunity at first, but then I was so busy every day that I completely forgot about it.
Now that he found this dish again, Lin Xu immediately made a decision.
"Cheboy, are there any pig hooves in the store?"
"Yes, yes, boss, how many do you want?"
How many?
If my sister-in-law eats it by herself, probably two sticks will be enough.
But once she eats it, her own baby Shen will definitely want to eat it too, and he will have to add two more.
My mother-in-law is so concerned about her appearance that she will definitely not miss this colloid-rich dish and will have to keep adding more.
It’s no big deal, Lin Xu said:
"Bring me ten. I'll make some braised pork knuckles for my family to try. If it tastes good, I'll serve this dish in the store as well."
"Okay!"
Not long after, the driver came over carrying ten pig trotters.
Seeing that Lin Xu was busy, he put the pig's trotters into the pot and boiled it without saying a word, then took a spray gun and burned the outer skin of the pig's trotters.
Pig trotters are divided into front hooves and hind hooves.
The front hooves have less bones and more meat, so they are suitable for eating meat. The hind hooves have less meat and more bones, so they are suitable for making soup.
Boil the pig's trotters and soak them in hot water.
By the time Lin Xu stewed the crystal elbow into the pot, the pig's trotters were almost soaked.
He took the soaked pig's trotters out of the basin and used steel wool to wash away the black ash on the surface. The pig's trotters became white again.
After washing them all, split the pig's trotters vertically from the hooves.
When making pig's trotters dishes, this step is indispensable, because there are still some pig hairs and dirt sandwiched between the two toes of the pig's trotters, which are difficult to clean without splitting them.
After splitting, clean the middle of the hoof flap, and then chop the pig's hoof into evenly sized pieces.
After cutting them all, put the pig's trotters into the pot, then add water and onion-ginger cooking wine to blanch the pig's trotters.
Among the ingredients of various parts of the pig, pig's trotters have a slightly stronger smell, so the steps of blanching cannot be less, and they must be cooked for a while during blanching, so that the pig's trotters can be thoroughly blanched.
While waiting for the water to boil, Shen Baobao suddenly sent a message:
"Xubao, what are you doing?"
"The rich man who has recharged a million dollars wants to eat dishes rich in collagen. I am blanching the pig's trotters and planning to make braised pork knuckles. You can eat more when the time comes. After all, the rich man is treating you."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Obviously, his family is also rich, but when he saw the news about Lin Xu, Shen Baobao actually felt a sense of urgency and expectation to take advantage of the big family.
Wow, no wonder I went to eat at big restaurants when I couldn't survive. This feeling is really different.
She was already full at noon, but now she was a little hungry again.
When he thought that his mother also likes to eat this kind of dishes, Baby Shen immediately sent a message saying:
"Cook more, mom likes to eat too."
"Both our parents and our mothers have. Don't forget to thank the rich man when you have dinner in the evening."
"No way, I really look forward to arriving early in the evening, so that I can take my parents to eat big dogs!"
Lin Xu: "..."
Just say "big house" is enough, but try to use the word "big house" as little as possible.
After all, there is no need for us to scold ourselves like this.
After the water in the pot boils, use a spoon to skim off the scum, and cook for about five minutes. When the pig's trotters have been completely cooked, Lin Xu takes the pig's trotters out of the pot, rinses them with warm water, and puts them in the pot.
Enter the basket and start controlling the water.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Then he heated a pot and heated oil.
Put a handful of rock sugar into the pot and stir-fry over low heat to get some color.
When the sugar color is almost cooked, add the prepared onion, ginger, pepper, aniseed, cinnamon bay leaves, and a few dried chili segments, stir-fry until fragrant, then add the pig's trotters, and then add some hot water.
Then start seasoning.
Put two small spoons of salt, a few rock sugar, and a small piece of tangerine peel into the pot.
After the fire boils, pour it into the pressure cooker, cover it, and steam it for one hour.
If braised pork trotters is to be delicious, it must be stewed for a long time. In order to save time and energy, restaurants usually use a pressure cooker to stew it.
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Netizens who had not bothered to check in at noon came again.
Compared with noon, there are many more familiar faces in the evening.
For example, Wu Kexin and Panda were sent by Chen Yan to do the live broadcast of visiting the store, as well as Yue Liyue who was doing the live broadcast together, and Brother Qiang who got off work early today.
They walked around the store first and carefully showed the layout of the store to netizens. Then they returned to the lobby on the first floor. They happened to meet Geng Lele who signed a note for themselves. They all sat at the dining table together and ate.
Interact with netizens.
Wu Kexin ate soft, glutinous and slightly spicy tiger skin chicken feet and repeated the question on the barrage:
"Did you not pay for the meal? Boss Lin also started to recharge the anchor? Ha, this netizen asked a good question!"
She licked the chicken feet and then said:
"Boss Lin didn't recharge us, and his reputation doesn't need to be recharged. As for this table of food, it's not free, because our boss just recharged one million here at noon, and she will pay the bill when she comes.
."
Upon hearing this, the barrage immediately became excited.
“What a good Chinese boss!”
"Such a good boss should hire more employees."
"Can a boss like this give one million in cash to his employees for food, drink and fun?"
"I really hope I can have a boss like this who can see through my stubbornness..."
"Does our boss need someone to carry bags and shine shoes?"
"Can I work as a cleaner in our company?"
"..."
After answering this question, she looked at Geng Lele and asked:
"Why didn't you come at noon?"
"It's the exam, the last test before school starts. After the exam, I saw that Brother Xu said that the store was too busy, so I bought some fried pancakes in front of the school."
Geng Lele has gained at least three kilograms since the fried pancake shop run by Yang Lin opened in front of the school.
When the girl got greedy, she went to the door to buy it, trying this flavor, and then that flavor. After getting to know Yang Lin, he even made her a pan-fried pan-fried dish that was crispy on both sides.
"Brother Yang Lin asked me to bring him some pork head meat when I go back. Don't forget to remind me to pack it later."
"Okay, I'll remind you later."
While he was talking, Baby Shen came to the store.
"Hello, Sister Yue!"
"The boss lady, come and eat together!"
“The new dishes are delicious. Boss Lin really put a lot of effort into them.”
"..."
Shen Jiayue said hello to everyone one by one, and also said hello to the netizens in the live broadcast room, and then Shi Shiran went upstairs.
Although she doesn't mind the live broadcast, she doesn't really like being stared at.
Especially when eating, I always feel weird.
Moreover, there is braised pig's trotters ordered by a rich man upstairs. It's only right to steal two pieces while Yan Bao hasn't come over yet.
As a result, as soon as she arrived upstairs, Chen Yan came forward and backward.
"Brother-in-law, hurry up and bring over the food I ordered. I paid for this. No one is allowed to eat a bite."
Shen Jiayue next to him made a sound:
"It sounds like no one would want to eat it...Xubao, don't forget to steam a longevity peach for me later. I want to celebrate the birthday of a lonely old man who is over thirty years old."
Chen Yan: "..."
Why is it that my cousin always hits me hard every time?
She coughed lightly:
"The person I mentioned didn't mention you. We have a deep love for each other as sisters. Even if I don't have enough to eat, I have to stick with you to eat."
It’s his birthday soon, and Mr. Chen is really afraid that Baby Shen will get a birthday peach for himself.
"This is what you said. I won't be polite to you later."
Chen Yan:??????
I'm just giving in, do you still take it seriously?
In the kitchen, Lin Xu opened the lid of the pressure cooker, and a stream of steam mixed with a rich fragrance rose up.
The pig's trotters inside are red in color and rich in gum, and even the soup inside has become much thicker.
Pour the pig's trotters in the pot into the wok, use chopsticks to pick out the onion, ginger, pepper, star anise, bay leaf, cinnamon and other ingredients, bring to a boil over high heat and let the excess soup evaporate.
When the soup becomes less, pour a little scallion oil into the pot, stir-fry twice, then remove from the pot and put it into a basin.
At this time, the pig's trotters are trembling, and when you use a spoon to serve them, you can even feel the viscosity of the gelatin in the soup.
After placing it in a basin, put a pinch of coriander leaves on top, and then take it outside.
Chen Yan and Shen Baobao, who were discussing ways to lose weight, were stunned when they saw this dish.
That oily appearance and rosy color look so delicious.
"Rice, Xubao? Hurry up and serve the rice, I'm so hungry!"
"I need at least two bowls, brother-in-law, don't go any less. If it's not enough, I won't pay for it."
Lin Xu smiled softly.
Didn't you two just discuss losing weight?
Are you planning to eat less before eating?
