Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 112 Master Niu Pi (Broken Sound——)
The Wensi tofu that is pressed out by the machine is about 5-10 yuan per person.

If it is in a scenic spot or a snack street, it may sell for twelve or fifteen.

So Chen Nian feels that his price of 25 is more appropriate.

Moreover, Wensi Tofu soup is not a must-order for every table, and the store is small, so I can only receive so many customers every day.

Therefore, Chen Nian intends to control the amount, making two pots a day, one pot at noon and one pot at night.

One pot can hold about ten servings, that is, it can serve twenty people.

There are four bowls of soup in a large soup basin, which means two bowls for each person.

After making up his mind, Chen Nian officially decided on this dish, but the sweet porridge was not listed. After all, if you want to have breakfast, you must have more.

So Chen Nian began to prepare today's ingredients, but it didn't take long for He Hai to come.

This young man is the same as when he was working for Master He, he is down-to-earth, hard-working, and clever.

Although Chen Nian told him the same as He Sen, as long as he can come after 8 o'clock every day, He Hai has been in the store around 7:30 every morning since the first day.

Then follow Chen Nian to do today's preparations.

In the first month, Chen Nian paid He Hai 4000 yuan in salary, with three meals included and social security, and the social insurance fee was paid by Chen Nian on top of the 4000 yuan.

Normal social insurance is partly borne by employees and partly by the company, but when it comes to old age, it means that all of these are borne directly.

With the current profitability of Honghong Hotel, the money is just a drop in the bucket.

And Chen Nian felt that this could retain people.

Of course there is no provident fund.

But this condition is actually very good.

Many chefs who only know how to wash and cut vegetables sometimes can’t even get 4000 yuan if they include three meals, let alone social security.

Many units will use various reasons to say that social security will be paid after three months, half a year, or even one year after joining the company, and even if it is based on the local minimum wage standard.

At least the old age handles these things for the other party according to normal standards.

When He Hai followed Chen Nian to pack the ingredients, he also found that there seemed to be dozens of boxes of lactone tofu in the store, but he didn't ask at first, until he saw Chen Nian put the braised pork in the pot and stewed it, and the mapo tofu. After the seasoning is ready and all the vegetables and meat to be used at noon are cut.

Pick up the tofu, and then take out a thinner knife from the wall hanging on the kitchen knife.

There was doubt in He Hai's eyes, he didn't know what Chen Nian was doing for cutting tofu at this time.

It stands to reason that mapo tofu should not be cut until the guests start to arrive?
At this time, cut the tofu and put it on the meal, wouldn't the surface of the tofu be oxidized?
Moreover, a lot of water will come out of the lactone tofu after a period of time.

In this way, the taste of lactone tofu will be slightly worse, although most people will not be able to taste the difference.

However, Chen Nian, who strives for perfection, told He Hai about these knowledge points as early as when he first came in.

"Master, what is this for?"

Chen Nian is only a few years older than He Hai, but for He Hai, Chen Nian's craftsmanship is beyond his current flattery, so he yells one by one master very smoothly.

Well, Chen Nian was using a kitchen knife to cut off the film on the top of the lactone tofu, and said while putting the tofu on the chopping board, "Didn't you notice? We have an extra dish in our store."

He Hai gasped, he really didn't notice when he came, and went straight to the kitchen as soon as he came in.

So I poked my head out to take a look, and found that there was indeed a piece of Wensi tofu on the outside wall.

He knows Wensi Tofu. As a culinary lover, He Hai is determined to embark on the path of a chef. Whenever CCTV broadcasts food documentaries such as China on the Bite of the Tongue and Flavored Life, he will watch every episode. use up.

Moreover, his father cooked big pots of rice for other people's banquets in the countryside, so sometimes he would give some suggestions, such as what dishes could be added to the banquet.

I saw that there is an extra dish of Vance Tofu in Honghong Restaurant.

"Master, have you finally accomplished your magic?"

The great achievement of magic naturally refers to the skill of cutting tofu. After all, they had already drank the so-called tofu soup countless times before today. Damn, Chen Nian is resolutely unwilling to admit that this is Vance Tofu.

"Well, it's a great achievement."

As Chen Nian spoke, his hands began to move accordingly.

First, use the blade of the knife to pat and wipe on the smooth tofu.

It's like trying out the quality before being lucky with the other party.

Immediately, the kitchen knife was lifted slowly, and then fell gently again.

The rhythmic knocking sound of the kitchen knife and the chopping board began to sound continuously. During this process, the tofu seemed to be non-existent, unable to form any resistance to the kitchen knife.

Still cutting from left to right.

Although it is easy to cut in this way, when cutting these ingredients that test the skill of the knife, you can artificially control those ingredients so that they will not stick to the knife after cutting.

If it is an ingredient like cucumber and tomato, it's okay to say, just pick it out.

If the tofu of Wensi Tofu sticks to the top, if you pull it off, it may cause the tofu to break, and if there are too many tofu, the tofu will be crowded together and it will be difficult to separate.

When the time comes, there will be chaos step by step, chaos step by step.

If the tofu cut out like that is put into the pot, it will really become a pot of tofu porridge.

He Hai just watched Chen Nian cut the tofu in an orderly manner, and the cut tofu seemed to be no different from the state he saw in the documentary.

But after all, those in the documentary are big bosses who cook state banquets, or are national chefs of a certain local cuisine. Although Chen Nian is very talented in cooking, Wensi tofu can really be cooked so quickly. Done?
He Hai's mind raced with thoughts: "Is there a possibility that although the tofu cut out on the chopping board looks the same, the old tofu will turn into a ball of paste when it is cooked?"

It's not that you don't trust the master.

The main reason is that He Hai knows that even the Wensi tofu sold in some larger restaurants are all pressed out by equipment, so they look extremely uniform, and each one looks exactly the same.

And Chen Nian only learned it for a month, and he started cutting it directly.

But when the old age puts the tofu in the pot!

Scattered in all directions, the roots are distinct.

Every shredded tofu in the water seemed to be cut out by a machine, extremely uniform, and as far as he could see, none of the shredded tofu was broken!
