Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 311
After all, many times the oil for frying things will be used repeatedly, if the oil is used for too long.

It will bind the taste of various foods, make the quality of the oil worse, and make the fried things taste like other foods.

But Li Xiao knew that was not the case, the oil used by the other party was quite good, and one could tell at a glance that the back kitchen used new oil.

Because the outer skin of soybeans is golden yellow, without a trace of variegation, and the crispy shell on the skin has no peculiar smell.

And the purpose of the oil is only to fry soybeans. The reason why he said this is because he could taste the peculiar smell of soybeans just now, not from the outside, but from the inside.

On the other side, in the back kitchen.

Miss Chuancai named Xiaolan hurried to the manager of Chuancai and reported the problem.

"Strange smell?"

"The soybeans are about to go bad?"

"how can that be?"

The manager of the food delivery department murmured a few words, then turned his head to look at Xiaolan, and asked seriously:

"Are you sure that the person you mentioned is the anchor I mentioned with 40 viewers?"

Xiaolan was a little hesitant, she shook her head and said timidly:

"I'm not sure, but he does have a video camera, and"

Seeing that she was still hesitating at this time, the manager of the food delivery department put on a straight face:

"And what time is it now? Tell me quickly. If things get serious, we will be in trouble. That's 40 online viewers. Do you know how much impact it will cause?"

When Xiaolan heard the manager's reprimand, she quickly said seriously:

"It does hold a video camera, and it looks very handsome, very, very handsome, wearing a scholar's outfit, with a royal blue headband on top of its long hair."

The department manager thought about it carefully and nodded immediately. That's right, it was exactly the same as the dead eunuch in the front hall. The big anchor should be him.

He quickly turned around and walked towards the back kitchen. At this time, the back kitchen was very busy, although many cooking tasks could be prepared in advance.

But after all, it needs to handle the meals of more than 600 people at the same time, and the pressure on the back kitchen is still quite high.

He looked around, and finally found a job, a relatively leisurely sous chef.

He hurried to his side and said nervously:
"Sous Chef Ke, something is wrong. Some customers reported that our soybeans are about to go bad, and there is already a little peculiar smell. Why don't you check it?"

Ke San, who was supervising his subordinates' plate placement, frowned when he heard the manager's words, and he repeated:
"You said that the soybeans have gone bad and have a peculiar smell? Is it the feedback from the customers? How many people have problems eating them?"

Normally, if one or two guests have problems eating, the front hall will not report the situation to the back kitchen.

Because each customer's taste is different, it is too normal for there to be deviations in taste.

If any guest in the front hall reports a problem, the manager has to make a special trip, so the manager of Chuancai doesn't have to do other things at all, just busy with the guest's feedback.

So when Ke San saw the manager in the front office rushing in, it was obviously a serious problem.

"How many people? Not many people, just one person."

"Just one person?"

Ke San showed a puzzled look on his face. He looked up and down the manager of the food delivery department, trying to find out the meaning of joking from the other party's expression.

However, he found that the other party's expression was only serious and nervous, and there was no so-called joking at all, so his brows were also wrinkled.

"Ah Quan, this is not the time to be joking. You have been here for a long time, and it's not like you don't know how busy you are right now."

Hearing Ke San's words, the manager of the food distribution department immediately came to his senses, knowing that there was a misunderstanding in the communication between the two, he quickly explained:

"Although there was only one guest who reported the problem, that one was an anchor, and it was an anchor with 40 online viewers in the live broadcast room."

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone, unlocked the screen lock, and the screen that popped up was Li Xiao's live broadcast screen.

At this time, Li Xiao was chatting with the audience about the harm that would happen if the soybeans expired.

Listening to Li Xiao's eloquent talk, he looked at the lines in the bullet screen and exclaimed.

Ke San's brows frowned even tighter, because he didn't see Li Xiao's compliments on other dishes before.

So when he saw Li Xiao's paper, he even felt that the other party was sent by other competitors to make trouble.

After all, he has heard that there is a newly opened palace restaurant near the capital recently, and it is very close to the palace banquet he works in in terms of scale, form, and types of dishes.

So he had to wonder if it was a competitor, and wanted to send someone over to discredit him on purpose.

And the other party is a king bomb as soon as he makes a move. This is the live broadcast platform that the kitten live broadcast platform claims to have the fewest robots in the live broadcast room.

At least 40/3 of the more than 4 online viewers of the other party are true, that is, nearly 30 people are listening to this guy in the live broadcast room saying that the palace banquet uses soybeans that are about to expire to make side dishes.

Once this matter is confirmed, the negative impact can be imagined.

30 people is quite a terrifying number. If there is a proper public opinion, the palace banquet at home may immediately become the next [Huizhou Banquet] to be pointed out by thousands of people?
Wait, thinking of the Huizhou Banquet, the more Ke San felt that the people in front of him looked familiar.

He immediately withdrew the available memories in his brain, and soon he took a few breaths.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, feeling that this matter was beyond his control, and he finally remembered who this familiar anchor was.

Isn't this guy the one who caused Huizhou Banquet to close down?
Although the closure of Huizhou Banquet was largely not because of him, but because of his wife's remarks that people are not as good as dogs.

But the fuse was that too many people knew about the content of the anchor's live broadcast, and public opinion was ignited all at once.

He hurriedly thought of this, he hurriedly took the manager of the food delivery department to find the chef on duty today.

There are a total of two chefs in the palace banquet, regardless of size.

Harley Preston once served as the sous chef in [Sunset] (Chinese: Sunset) in the capital of the free country, a high-end restaurant with three Michelin stars.

The other one, Zhang Hui Yuanzu, used to be an imperial cook in several imperial dining rooms. Although some skills were lost due to the changes of the times and the inheritance of technology, some skills have been passed down for many years.

But even so, Zhang Huiyuan is also a well-known court cuisine master in the industry.

It was Zhang Huiyuan who was on duty today, and he didn't hesitate at all when he heard Ke San's report.

He immediately went to the workshop where the cold dishes were stored, picked up a fried soybean with his chopsticks, and ate it.

However, there is no problem with this soybean, there is no strange or peculiar smell, and there is no feeling of deterioration.

Is it really like what Lao Ke suspected, the other party was sent by a competitor to make trouble, and came here to deliberately slander?
There is indeed this possibility. After all, there are two ways to defeat a competitor, either to do better than the competitor, or to directly do a poor job of the competitor.

And the other party's slander is likely to cause great damage to the reputation of the store, and the reputation accumulated over the years may be lost overnight.

The reputation may immediately deteriorate, after all, it was 40 viewers.

Quantitative changes can easily lead to qualitative changes. This behavior of the other party may even affect the perception of those diners who have eaten products from their own restaurant and have a good impression.

Because people follow the crowd, when the people around them and the Internet are bragging and supporting a restaurant.

Even if someone thinks that the food they eat is just ordinary, they will follow suit and say it is delicious.

Even if you don't say it's delicious, you will maintain a neutral attitude and say nothing.

And if there are a lot of bad reviews on the Internet, even if diners eat delicious food, they will feel that the taste is not good, and the dishes that were thought to be able to score 90 points will become unqualified.

However, he didn't draw conclusions prematurely, because apart from the fact that the other party was a competitor who came to sabotage and discredit him, there might actually be a problem with his own soybeans.

So Zhang Huiyuan's movements didn't stop. The soybeans were picked up one by one and disappeared into his mouth. The sound of constant chewing echoed in the small cold dish room.

Soon the small bowl of soybeans disappeared without a trace. Zhang Huiyuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, and frowned even more tightly.

Before he scooped up the bowl of fried soybeans just now, he had deliberately stirred the whole bowl of fried soybeans evenly in order to make the sampling results random.

But randomly scooped up a large bowl of soybeans, but none of them had a strange smell.

Seeing his expression, Ke San who was waiting at the side immediately called out:

"Boss, as I said just now, that kid must have come here to smear it deliberately. How could there be a problem with our soybeans?"

However, Zhang Huiyuan raised his hand and interrupted Ke San, he frowned, he hesitated.

He had a rough understanding of the Huizhou Banquet, and he knew exactly what happened back then.

Will a person who is willing to act bravely become someone else's accomplice and go to other people's restaurants to discredit other people's cuisine?
It's not that there is no possibility, it's just that the possibility is much less than that of ordinary people.

After all, if there is a flower-picking thief, then the possibility of the Jiangyang thief committing the crime is definitely much greater than the possibility of a brave young hero committing the crime.

His mind turned and he hurriedly ran out of the cold dish workshop. Ke San and Ah Quan looked at each other, wondering what his boss was doing?
Could it be that he wanted to go out and have a real-life PK with that Li Xiao?

The two were so frightened that they hurriedly followed behind, fearing that things would get out of hand.

However, the two of them were wrong. Zhang Huiyuan didn't rush to the hall to discuss with Li Xiao. Instead, he walked around to the material storage room.

After searching, I finally found the box where the soybeans were stored. The lighting in the storage room was quite good.

After he opened the box where the soybeans were stored and checked it carefully, he immediately found out where the problem was.

Right at the bottom of the box where the soybeans were stored, a moldy lump was firmly stuck there.

At this time, the piece of mold had turned black and blue, obviously the time was not short.

The two who hurriedly followed behind him also immediately noticed where their boss' fingers touched.

The two of them immediately looked at each other, with horrified expressions on their faces.

What the anchor said was actually true, there was actually a problem with his own soybeans.

Anyone with a little common sense will understand that if mold spots appear in food storage containers, these mold spots will accelerate the decay of food and reduce the storage time of food.

If the stored food is fresh food, these mildew spots will immediately spoil the food and make it unedible.

The three of them fixed their eyes on the black and green mold spot. Since Zhang Huiyuan was wearing food gloves, he directly picked off the black and green mold spot with his hands. The size of the mold spot was not big.

The surface is uneven, black, black, green, and green, and it is impossible to see what it is, but the bottom of the mildew is very flat.

He turned the mildew over and looked at the dark red color at the bottom of the mildew.

He looked around and immediately understood what caused it.

His eyes locked on the jars of tomato paste on the shelf next to the soybeans, and he sighed softly to confirm the body of the mold.

A can of tomato paste is three liters, which is a very large can.

Although the outer packaging of tomato paste is made of aluminum cans, because of its large size, there is no pull ring for easy opening.

Only a kitchen knife or a can opener can be used to open it each time, but because the thickness of the aluminum skin of its outer packaging is too thick.

Therefore, the can opener often cannot be opened at one time, and usually needs to be opened three or four times to open the surface of the can.

For the sake of convenience, many chefs will directly use a kitchen knife to chop open the mouth of the can.

However, chopping with a knife actually has a disadvantage, which may cause the tomato paste inside to splash out due to shaking and pressure.

The problem this time was immediately reviewed. Apparently, some time ago someone used a kitchen knife to open tomato paste in the warehouse.

The soya bean box next to it happened to be empty, and tomato paste just splashed on the bottom of the soy box.

The boy who packed the soybeans just happened to be careless and didn't notice that there was something dirty at the bottom of the box, so he just poured a new batch of soybeans into the box.

This caused the tomato paste, which had to be refrigerated after opening the can, to quickly deteriorate and become moldy in the air, breeding a large number of mold and bacteria, resulting in a very bad storage environment in the box for storing soybeans.

As a result, soybeans, which were basically impossible to deteriorate in a short period of time, showed a tendency to deteriorate.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Huiyuan was also in a cold sweat. Fortunately, there is only a peculiar smell and it is about to go bad. If these soybeans really go bad, then there will be a big problem.

As a five-star chef, he clearly understands the nature of each ingredient, and of course he also knows the nature of each ingredient after it has deteriorated.

Foods that are not perishable, such as soybeans and rice, once spoiled, the mold produced will have a serious impact on the human body.

Moreover, even if this kind of mold is fried at high temperature, there is no way to kill it. After entering the body, it can cause diarrhea in mild cases, and dysentery in severe cases.

If a large number of food poisoning occurs at that time, then my reputation and the reputation of this store will really be wiped out.
