Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 174 Employee Recruitment
The color of the chili cooked in oil is extremely bright, with oily light shining in it, and the people who watch it salivate crazily.

The appearance of the onion and garlic is also covered with an oily luster, shining brightly under the light. At the same time, the white and green form a sharp contrast with the red of the pepper.

This is the case for the composition of the dish injury. There is no need to have too many same colors, but it must be contrasted.

And they are just the top layer of decoration, and what hold them up are the slices of meat below.

Boiled pork slices, as the name suggests, the protagonist is these meats.

Although it has been boiled in oil, the meat remains white and tender. In addition, the outer layer is covered with thick water starch before it is put into the pan, making it even more shiny and attractive after being boiled.

You can tell how tender these slices are just by looking at them.

Looking at this dish of boiled pork slices, Feng Honghong thought of something: "Your father can cook this dish, and it was very delicious at the beginning. At that time, he told me that this boiled pork slices actually originated in Zigong, southern Sichuan. , not too far from us. At that time, Zigong had a lot of saltworks, and the animals working in the saltworks were mainly cattle.

However, due to heavy physical labor every day, and the muscles are eroded by salt, their life span is generally not very long, but the short life of these cows gave the local cooks room to play.

The beef was made into boiled beef by those local chefs according to their habits, but as time went by, this boiled beef evolved into various boiled dishes, such as boiled cabbage, boiled cabbage, Boiled bullfrogs, etc., but the most economical one is boiled pork slices, but ah, this year is a little better, the price of pork in the past two years is so expensive... 39, I can't afford it! "

Chen Nian was full of question marks after listening to it.

He felt that if those cows could speak human language, they would definitely ask humans: "Are you polite?"

Feelings have been working in the saltworks all his life, but he was salted out.

Listening to this story, He Sen couldn't help sighing, if those people didn't show their wisdom, how could there be so much food now?

"That's not necessarily true. How many people know how to eat these days?" Chen Nian had a different opinion.

But while the two of them were talking, Feng Honghong had already extended her chopsticks to the boiled pork slices.

Chopsticks were picked up, the upper layer of boiled pork slices was still stuck with bright red knife-edge peppers, and the white meat was decorated with red sea peppers. The unique burnt aroma of the two vitex peppers wafted faintly, mellow and fascinating.

And there is a chopped green onion and a little pepper powder on it.

After observing for a while, put it in your mouth!

explosion!

This time it's a really explosive fragrance!

If some of the previous descriptions may contain a little exaggeration, but this time it is absolutely true!
Put a spoonful of hot oil in the cup, and the ears are full of charming fragrance.

Although the meat is oily, you will not feel the greasy taste of these oils after you eat it. Instead, all kinds of rich flavors prevail.

The pork tenderloin is tender and refreshing, even if you only eat a piece of meat, you can feel the spiciness.

But the spiciness is not overwhelming at all, it only lingers on the lips and teeth, which is endless aftertaste.

I often watch some food videos and see people saying that soft, tender and smooth has become a fixed copywriting routine template, but it is not an exaggeration to put this adjective on this piece of boiled meat.

After soaking in water in advance, adding egg white to fully grasp, and changing the osmotic pressure by the salt in it, so that the water can fully enter it, and finally it is fully wrapped with pea water starch.

Even if it is put into the pot, there is not too much cooking, but the fire is turned off decisively when it turns white and just cooked.

This dish of boiled pork slices with a lot of ingredients is truly popular among local cuisines. All over the country, people's acceptance of boiled pork slices is quite high.

And in the Northeast, because they want to eat it too much, but making it according to the Sichuan method is too spicy, so they even specially researched a version of Northeast-style boiled pork slices.

The three of them ate the meal with great gusto.

With one chopstick, there are vegetables, meat, soup and water.

Spin it on the rice first, then put it in your mouth in one bite.

Cool!
The three of them ate a bowl of rice just like that.

But after eating, the three of them felt that it was not enough. Even Feng Honghong, who usually eats only one bowl, gave herself a second bowl of rice.

However, since Chen Nian made such a dish at noon today, he did not expect it to be so popular, and everyone ate the second bowl.

So the amount of food is naturally not enough.

But people are alive, and the method is thought out by the brain.

Chen Nian went directly to the kitchen to get a spoon, then scooped the soup of boiled pork slices into a bowl to fully soak the rice.

This way of eating is a must!
There are round red oils of different sizes floating on it, but this sight will not feel very spicy to people, but it will make people's index fingers move.

Then he picked up the bowl and snorted, scratched and pulled a few chopsticks until his mouth was full, and then he was very satisfied and began to chew!
"It's all about 90.00% of the eighth level, how delicious would it be if it reached 100%?"

Like Mapo Tofu twice-cooked pork dishes, boiled pork slices are also very good with rice.

But what is different from these two dishes is that the boiled pork slices are not only suitable for rice, but also very comfortable after eating.

It doesn't matter whether you only eat the dry one, or you can eat it with soup and water.

And if you cook the rice with the soup of boiled sliced ​​meat, the rice can also bring that rich taste, but at the same time it will dilute part of it.

That is to make the boiled pork slices less salty and heavy than when they are in the pot.

Just right, neither salty nor bland.

Spicy and smooth, it goes well with rice.

How cool it would be to serve such a pot of boiled pork slices in winter!

Chen Nian was thinking so much, but it was only a little over June now, and there was still half a year before the Chinese New Year.

After watching Chen Nian's actions, He Sen followed suit and made rice with soup, snoring for a while.

Soon full of wine and food, Chen Nian slumped on a chair to rest, while He Sen got up to clean up the dishes.

Feng Honghong went home and came back after a lunch break.

Although in Chen Nian's heart, my mother is always young and always a princess, but after all, she still needs to rest when she gets old.

In addition, I go to bed late at night, so if I don't sleep for a while at noon, I will feel very tired in the afternoon.

Just when He Sen cleaned up the kitchen and was about to sit and rest for a while, Chen Nian took out a CD case from the drawer on the counter and put it in front of He Sen.

"Give your girlfriend the autograph she asked for. The album was made by her on Taobao. It is mainly used as a gift for friends. You are very lucky. You just got such a limited edition. You can't buy it outside. But this is not commercial and can only be used. Come collect it for yourself."

But He Sen's eyes couldn't help but light up after seeing the CD, and the exhaustion of the whole morning disappeared without a trace!

"F*ck, shit, shit! You are too amazing! You can do it all!"

"An autograph turned into an autographed album! There are photos on it!"

"It's just that I'm still a year younger than I am now, otherwise I'll use this to propose to her when I go back this time!"

"Master, you don't even know how much my girlfriend likes An Hongdou. At the beginning, when An Hongdou only had ten fans on Netease Cloud, my girlfriend followed her. Then I listened to her every day when I was eating, and talked about it when I went out to play." I've been humming these songs all the time, obviously there are only a few songs, but I never get tired of listening to them."

Chen Nian looked at the excited He Sen and patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Just as long as you like it, you can bring your girlfriend to the store to sit for a while later."

"Well, the main reason is that she is still working as a civil servant in our hometown. She doesn't have so many holidays. She should have time to come and have fun when the National Day comes."

After He Sen and Chen Nian finished talking, he still couldn't hold back and walked out of the store on the spot to make a WeChat video call to his girlfriend. Originally, he wanted to wait until the next meeting to give a surprise, but He Sen felt that he couldn't wait. That's a long time, and four months is too long.

In the end, he slapped He Sen and turned back to the store: "Master, my girlfriend is very happy, and she wants to thank you personally."

While talking, he approached Chen Nian, so that Chen Nian also appeared in the camera.

"Qianqian, this is my master and the owner of our shop. You look very young and handsome, right? The cooking is also delicious!"

"Brother Chen, thank you so much. I didn't expect to have An Hongdou's autographed album. I will go to Chengdu when the National Day is off. I will treat you to dinner then!"

Chen Nian smiled when he heard this: "You don't need to eat, I just run a restaurant, so just come and have a look."

And He Sen also echoed and said: "Yes, it is estimated that few people can cook better than Master, and at most they are comparable. It is better to eat in the store than to spend that money to go out, so why don't you invite me to dinner?" I don’t need it, I think you can introduce your outstanding friends to our boss when you have time, he is still single now.”

"No problem, leave it to me! I'll help you out later!"

Vintage:? ? ? "

Why are you talking about my business?
But it seems that He Sen has indeed grown up and knows to think of his master. This is what an apprentice should do.

Thinking of this, a hazy figure suddenly appeared in Chen Nian's mind.

He couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, it was just so far away...

Know that there is a person in the deepest part of your mind.

"What's the matter recently? Why do you always think about these messes? Could it be that you haven't had a good rest?"

"It's very possible that I only got home at one o'clock last night and slept for four hours when I woke up at five o'clock in the morning. It seems that I have to go to bed early tonight, and I have to make up for the lost sleep!"

Chen Nian thought so.

I posted a recruitment notice before, although some people came to inquire, but not many people actually came to apply for the job.

There was one each yesterday and the afternoon of the day before yesterday.

But the person who came the day before yesterday looked quite young. According to what he said, he had three years of experience as a chef, but in his old age, his hair was almost shoulder-length, and he was wearing earrings.

Handsome is handsome, but too individual.

It's not that Chen Nian discriminates against such people, it's just that he thinks such people are not suitable to stay in his kitchen.

But even so, he still seriously asked the other party a few questions that he had prepared in advance, then nodded and asked the other party to go back and wait for news, and if he thought it was appropriate, he would call.

The man from yesterday had short hair and was in his 30s when he came in. He must be an experienced chef.

But after the other party came in and chatted with him for a while, he reached out and touched his waist pocket, and took out a pack of Furong Wang: "Does the boss smoke?"

Chen Nian shook his head.

The interviewer skillfully put the cigarette in his mouth, then lit it with a lighter and took a deep breath.

The man politely blew the smoke ring aside, but Chen Nian still crossed him in his heart.

After he finished asking the other party questions, he also asked him to go back and wait for news.

Honghong Hotel does not prohibit guests from smoking, but as a staff member of Honghong Hotel, smoking is absolutely not allowed.

Moreover, this position has been recruiting kitchen staff for a long time. If you smoke, you will have the smell of smoke on your body, hands and mouth.

Chen Nian didn't even enter the dish-testing session for the other party, because he didn't think it was necessary at all.

It's not that he denies this person, the reason is just the smoking just now. Maybe this person is very good at cooking, but he is also not suitable for the kitchen of Honghong Restaurant.

Then, when Chen Nian was taking a break to play with his mobile phone at noon, a person suddenly came in outside the door.

"Hello, is there a chef here?"

Chen Nian looked up at the other party's long nails and the mud inside: "Sorry, we've already hired a chef..."

"Oh, sorry to bother you."

The man nodded and smiled, then turned and left.

Chen Nian sighed in his heart: "Is it so difficult to recruit someone?"

Why is there no suitable person to apply for?
It doesn't matter even if you have just studied for a few years, as long as you work hard and have a little bit of talent?

Just as Chen Nian was thinking so, suddenly someone knocked on the door again.

Chen Nian looked up and saw that this person was about 23 years old, his hair was thick, and he was about the same height as himself.

Wearing a T-shirt, the lower body is a pair of simple black sweatpants.

The whole person looks very clean and refreshing.

"Hello, is there any shortage of people here now? I'm here to apply for a chef."

When Chen Nian heard this, his eyes lit up.

"It's still missing, do you have relevant work experience?"

"I did it for four years, two years in our small restaurant, and two years in a chain restaurant."

"That's all very well, but what are the main things you do in both places?"

"When I was in the first small restaurant, I was mainly an apprentice in the first year, washing and chopping vegetables. From the second year, I started to cook some simple home-cooked dishes. When I worked in the chain restaurant later, I also did odd jobs at the beginning. After half a year, but later also learned a few special dishes and more than 20 home-cooked dishes from that chef.”

"Then why did you leave there again?"

Hearing this, the person scratched his head in embarrassment: "On the one hand, it is because the work is too tiring, and the money given is so little, and on the other hand, the main reason is that there is something wrong with that store, which was reported by an employee some time ago. Then it closed."

　I wanted to add more, but because of Double Eleven, I watched the live broadcast for a while, bought some things, and then ran out of time
