Lao Tan didn't say much all day long, he just watched.
The time he entered the kitchen was 11:20, and the chefs had finished preparing the chopping boards and stove. This time was when the bosses of each stall conducted pre-meal inspections to see if there was anything unprepared and prepare it immediately to prevent it from being cooked.
There was a rush while serving food.
But when he entered the kitchen, there were only four people at the cutting board position, five cooks on the stove, eight on the counter, and no one else was in the kitchen. When he asked the sous chef Li Xu where the others were, Li Xu whined.
Maybe they're all smoking in the backyard.
Lao Tan came to the backyard and saw more than 20 people lined up, laughing, smoking and chatting. No one approached him when they saw him, and they just ignored him as if they weren't watching.
Old Tan glanced at everyone, but did not see Wang Gang.
Li Xu also followed out and shouted: "It's almost done, come back, the food is here."
These people slowly put out their cigarettes and walked to the kitchen muttering. Lao Tan shook his head speechlessly. Just as he was about to follow him in, he heard someone talking in the vegetable room, so he took two steps and pushed the door open.
Zhou Hongyou, the cold dish boss, and Yuan Hua, the chopping board boss, were sitting on stools chatting and smoking. When they saw Lao Tan, they just raised their eyelids and continued chatting without taking Lao Tan seriously.
Lao Tan got angry, pulled the bandit's face down and said gloomily: "The food is coming from the front, you two go back to your posts."
Maybe it was because Lao Tan's face was a bit visibly seeping, so the two reluctantly stood up, smoked cigarettes, and walked out.
"Put out the cigarette and put on the hat." Old Tan's voice was a little cold.
The two threw their cigarettes on the ground, put the folded paper hats on their heads from their pockets, and returned to the kitchen one after another. Seeing the state of the two people, Lao Tan shook his head.
There were more than ten dishes. The people who had just entered the kitchen were not yet in working mode. They were preparing the dishes in a leisurely manner, while the cooks were looking around in a very unorganized manner.
Niu Hongtai and the chef next to him each held a pair of chopsticks with freshly cooked meatballs inserted into them. They were talking and laughing naturally while eating, as if they were in a restaurant where eating meatballs was nothing.
thing.
Lao Tan came to them.
The two brothers saw Lao Tan coming and swallowed the balls in their mouths as if nothing had happened, not caring.
Lao Tan took out a pen and notepad from his pocket and asked, "What are your names?"
"What? Are you still going to be fined?" Niu Hongtai's face was filled with anger.
Lao Tan said: "No fine, just get to know each other."
"My name is Niu Hongtai, and his name is Lao Wu." Niu Hongtai said nonchalantly.
"My name." Lao Tan pulled his face down and said sternly.
Lao Wu was a little nervous and said: "Zhang Qiang."
Lao Tan memorized the names, then glanced at the two of them coldly and asked, "Are the meatballs delicious?"
"Lao Wu made it, asked me to taste it salty." Niu Hongtai began to make excuses for himself.
"Is it delicious?" Lao Tan emphasized.
"It's okay, just------just--- taste it salty." Niu Hongtai squeaked a little.
"Now that you've tasted it, let's get to work!"
The master at the stove eats blatantly, and the younger brother below naturally imitates the same. Although it is not blatant, he can always do it secretly.
The shelves were full of delicious food, including cooked pork ribs, cooked beef brisket, braised pork, lamb chops, and meatballs. Lao Tan found that someone was stealing their hands, and he didn't take it seriously. Even a fat little girl in the noodles would slip out.
Come out and secretly take a piece of ribs back to eat.
This gave Lao Tan the illusion that this was not a private hotel but a state-owned canteen.
This phenomenon must be eliminated.
During the meal, Lao Tan first looked at the hotpot for a while. The customers ordered steamed pork blood, egg stew, fish head with chopped pepper and gaba pot. The pig blood and egg stew were steamed well and the effect was good.
It's like a chicken cake, which is pretty good.
Fish stew Master Xu has already stewed five pots of fish, and there are two carps waiting to be stewed behind him. He is so busy that his forehead is sweating, and he nods and smiles at Lao Tan who is standing behind him, and continues to cook the fish.
What he makes is fish stew in an iron pot, which is similar to kung fu fish. It is a popular cooking method for cooking fish on the stove. The whole fish is stewed directly, with pork belly, tofu, fungus, wide noodles, red soup, and salty taste.
The fish meat is fragrant and tender, the soup is delicious, and it tempts the appetite.
Next to Xu Jun's Cui Kai and Cui Xuan brothers, one was frying snowy bean paste and the other was making pimple soup.
Lao Tan wondered how the pimple soup was cooked here with hot dishes? Hula remembered that there was no fire source for the noodles, so it had to be made with hot dishes. Seeing how the pimple soup made by Cui Xuan was light and watery, I knew I didn’t like it.
Just fool around there.
Pumpkin soup is a home-cooked staple food that Northeastern people like. Whether it is a small restaurant or a big restaurant, it is available in every house. There are pure homemade dumpling soups that are directly cooked with noodles, and there are also pearl dumpling soups that use eggs and noodles and use a colander to drain out the dumplings soup. Regardless.
What kind of pimple is it? Add diced tomatoes and minced cabbage. When cooked, add an egg liquid. It is sticky and delicious. It is delicious and nourishing to the stomach. Its nutritional value is not inferior to that of millet porridge.
Lao Tan carefully studied the pimple soup. After making it, everyone who tasted it said it was good, and it became popular in Binhai. After watching Cui Xuan make it, he thought he should improve it. The farmyard can't even make pimple soup.
.
Came behind the six chefs.
As Wang Gang said, the chefs who are better at cooking are Li Zhongqing, Li Huaqing, Li Xu, and Gai Peng. Their Sichuan cuisine is quite satisfactory. Niu Hongtai and Ma Shunren are average and need to be improved. Chef Lao Wu is okay.
I can control the heat of frying things very well, but the other one is not good at it. He probably didn't cook it for a long time. He is not very experienced in cooking.
The six chefs all cooked the food very quickly, but the slower one was the chef. From time to time, the chef would cook too much oil or water while waiting for the chef to cook.
Li Zhongqing and Gai Peng hardly need to cook oil or water in the kitchen. They do everything by themselves. Their dishes are also the fastest and the quality is good.
Li Huaqing is in charge of Xiaoliu Xiaochao. Sometimes his cook can't keep up, so he does the cooking himself when he's busy.
Niu Hongtai and Ma Shunren are responsible for making pork slices, pot-wrapped pork, and shredded vegetables. The cooking for them is slow and they have to wait all the time. The most requested items at the front desk are the pot-wrapped pork and shredded vegetables.
If the four chefs are four skilled chefs, and each person is responsible for his own dishes, there will be no rush to cook. Or if the work of the four chefs is divided carefully, and each dish is implemented by each person, there will be no phenomenon.
Phenomenon of urging vegetables.
Lao Tan finally came to Stew.
There were four people in total, two masters and two elder brothers in their forties. After the little stupid chickens arrived, the elder brother in charge of slaughtering them was quick and quick. He killed and collected the blood in a minute, and then threw the chickens into the dehairing machine. The other one
The elder brother took out the chicken in two minutes, checked to see if there was any hair that had fallen off, and plucked it off with his hands. He then disembowelled the chicken and cut it into eight pieces, and sent it to the stove along with the heart, liver, and gizzards.
The cook on the stove directly stir-fries the chicken and then stew it until it boils. Pour it into the pressure cooker and press it for seven minutes. Pour the chicken into a large spoon, add mushrooms and potatoes and simmer for ten minutes. Pour it into a small iron pot and sprinkle with chopped green onion and coriander.
Serve.
The whole process lasted twenty-five minutes, and the four people cooperated very smoothly.
Iron pancakes are also made here.
Iron pot pancake is an authentic farmhouse dish, also called Northeastern Yiguo. It is stewed directly in a small black iron pot. It is usually a small cornmeal pancake with a pot ring, and the ribs, potatoes and kidney beans are stewed in the bottom of the pot. It is a delicious dish.
The pancakes are cooked and the staple food and supplementary food are all available, so we order it to be cooked in one pot.
The one made by Guandong people is called Yunbing. It is a large pancake stuck on the ribs, potatoes and kidney beans. The pancake is good when cooked with vegetables. Because the pancake is fastened on the vegetables, the pancake is salty and tastes delicious.
The flatbread is made from Yang Mazi flatbread, but there is no filling inside.
Yang Mazi flatbread is made by rolling out the dough into long and thin strips, then spreading it with meat filling, rolling it into strips as thick as your little finger, panning them into pancakes and frying them. When eating, you can pinch one end of it and stretch it out quite long, like eating a sandwich.
It tastes like twists and is very fragrant and very popular with customers.
The pancakes of Iron Pot Pancake are made in this way. It has to be said that it is innovative, very distinctive and a highlight.
Lao Tan walked around the hot food kitchen and finally came to the food delivery port, carefully looking at the production of each dish.
Overall, the quality of the product is average, at a medium level, and needs to be improved.
The best-selling cold dishes are colorful noodles and smoked platters, followed by pickled vegetables. The best-selling pastries are cornmeal steamed cakes and pickled cabbage-filled steamed dumplings, followed by cornmeal pancakes.
At 12:20, the front desk started to order dishes. What they ordered were pot-wrapped pork, shredded sweet potatoes and fried taro. Lao Tan entered the kitchen and came behind Niu Hongtai and Ma Shunmin. The cooks were stepping up the frying. Niu Hongtai and Ma Shunren
Stand and wait.
Four minutes later, the frying was done, and the guests also returned their dishes. Lao Tan picked up the receipt and looked at it. It took forty minutes from placing the dishes to ordering them. In other words, if the dishes were not served within forty minutes, it was considered a serious overtime.
Lao Tan asked Niu Hongtai and Ma Shunren to sign the receipt. They were a little confused. You looked at me and I looked at you. I didn't know what was going on.
Niu Hongtai said: "Don't blame me if the food doesn't come out. It's because the chef couldn't fry it."
Lao Tan said seriously: "I didn't ask whether it would explode or not. I asked you to sign."
"Every day the food is not served. It's normal. I never sign." Niu Hongtai said.
"From today on, whoever can't get food will sign." Lao Tan said.
Niu Hongtai was a little dissatisfied, but Ma Shunren tugged at him. Don't argue with Lao Tan, just sign it. He first signed the receipt for the carrots and taro, and Niu Hongtai wrapped the meat in the pot without complaint.
Signed.
Lao Tan collected the signed receipt and put it into his pocket. Without looking at Niu Hongtai and Ma Shunmin, he turned and walked out of the kitchen. All the chefs on the stove and the boys below saw this scene and felt that something was going to change - this light
Brain Bandit seems to be playing it for real.
The two brothers Li Zhongqing, Xu Jun and Li Xu were thinking the same thing. They thought that this time there would be a cruel attack, and even Wang Gang's apprentice would dare to touch him. They just didn't know if they could defeat Wang Gang.
What Wang Gang's apprentices and relatives in the kitchen thought was that Lao Tan was pretending, and they didn't know who the big and small kings were. They wanted to give him some face first and see what he could do. In fact, they were also thinking that they didn't see Wang Gang all day long.
, does he really not care about the kitchen?
At this time, Wang Gang was sleeping in the security room.
Yesterday, I first had a drink with several chefs. After drinking, I went to the karaoke bar to sing. I drank a lot more in the karaoke bar. It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night when I got home. I woke up in the morning with a headache and discomfort. I wanted to go to work. After a while, I thought about it.
It was Lao Tan's first day at work. If he didn't come, it seemed like he was not cooperating with the work, so he ate his food and went to the restaurant.
After acquainting Lao Tan with the kitchen, he saw Lao Tan and Mr. Xu going upstairs. He wanted to go to the security room to lie down for a while and then come back while waiting for dinner, but he fell asleep.
After the meal was finished, Lao Tan was sitting in the dish-passing room, and Zhang Li came over. She complained to Lao Tan that she was not busy at noon, and she could only sell for 10,000 yuan, and she had to refund three dishes, which was unjustifiable.
"It's okay if you're busy, but you can't cook too many dishes, so we explain it to the customers, and they can understand. If you're not busy and we cancel the dishes, there's no way to explain it to the customers. We can only apologize and give you discounts. Lao Tan, what?
When can we solve the problem of slow service?" Zhang Li asked.
"Don't worry, I just got here, you have to give me time." Old Tan said with a smile.
"This is a big deal. You have to hurry up because the waiters always get scolded by customers because they are slow to serve food." Zhang Li pinned her hopes on Lao Tan.
"To be honest, I've been in the kitchen all morning and I don't want to do it anymore," Lao Tan said sincerely.
"Don't stop doing it. Just do it. It's not your character to say no." Zhang Li stimulated Lao Tan.
"There are too many problems that can't be solved in a short while. I'll take another look."
"Look again, I believe you are capable. If you don't do it, I won't do it either and will go with you."
"threaten me?"
"It's not a threat, it's a husband's act of coaxing and a wife's obedience."
