Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 497 Why Are You Still Sneaky?

After Li Ting heard this, he was indeed surprised, after all, he had never heard of such a request before.

Generally speaking, lean meat is lean meat, and fat meat is fat meat.

Unless it is fat and thin like hind legs, it may be separated, and some parts are indeed full fat, but it is the first time he has seen such a request on pork belly.

But even so, Li Ting didn't say much, but nodded, because he saw that the piece of meat was very even as a whole.

So I washed my hands again, and then pointed to the row of various kitchen knives in front of me.

Chen Nian nodded: "You can use these knives as you like, whichever you want."

Then Li Ting took out a long and thin sharp knife, and began to carefully separate the fat and lean meat of the pork belly.

Although this seems simple, it is not so simple after adding the requirements of aging. After all, the dividing line between fat and thin for a piece of meat is sometimes not a straight line, but there will still be certain ups and downs, and sometimes The ups and downs will be extremely small.

Therefore, it is easy to cut directly with a knife when cutting.

Regarding the assessment proposed by Chen Nian, Li Ting separated it very carefully...

The others were also watching curiously.

Old age didn't stop it. After all, it's like this in the kitchen. It's impossible to be completely undisturbed. If you can't perform well just because someone is watching, it can only show that your mental quality is not good.

In this way, under the eyes of everyone, it took Li Ting about 10 minutes to completely separate the fat from the lean, but there was still some fat that hadn't been completely removed from the lean meat.

"Boss, do you want to remove the fascia?"

"This is not necessary." Chen Nian said.

Li Ting nodded, and then shaved off the inconspicuous fat on the lean meat.

Finally, the fatty meat and lean meat were cut into whistles according to the aging requirements.

"Boss, do you think this is okay?"

At this time, Chen Nian no longer needed to look at it, because he had already seen the whole process just now.

Li Ting's performance still satisfied him: "Okay, no problem, let's deal with the fish later, have you cooked squirrel mandarin fish?"

"Did it."

"That's right, treat this fish like a squirrel mandarin fish."

"Good boss."

Li Ting nodded after hearing this, and then began to handle the fish carefully.

The fish that was taken out by Chen Nian was a rough fish. Li Ting did not start immediately after getting the fish, but frowned after looking at it, and then used a kitchen knife to remove the black film on the fish. And the fishy film was removed, and after washing it under the faucet, it was taken to the table to change the knife.

And the process of changing the knife is also very capable.

After a while, after Li Ting finished handling the fish, he asked Chen Nian how it was again.

"Okay, but the cutting is a bit too long, but it shouldn't be difficult for you, so it's not a big problem." Chen Nian said.

Finally, Chen Nian took out a box of tofu: "The last assessment, cut the tofu. There is no specific requirement. You can cut it however you think it can show your knife skills."

And after Li Ting got the box of lactone tofu, he decided to do it without much thought.

He decided to make chrysanthemum tofu, which is similar to Wensi tofu.

Then he changed the knife again, which was exactly the knife that Chen Nian usually used to cut Wensi tofu.

Previously, Chen Nian said that the knife inside was used casually, so Li Ting picked up the knife and wiped it briefly, and then started to deal with it after cleaning it.

"This knife skill is really good, Brother Xie, I feel that his knife skill has a bit of the shadow of Master." He Hai looked at Li Ting cutting tofu over there, full of surprise.

"That's right, my younger brother is quite talented, and he also belongs to the kind that God rewards with food, but whoever told him that he only likes to cut dun'er, otherwise I am not as good as him in cooking."

Not long after, Li Ting cut the chrysanthemum tofu. He didn't comment on this time, but said directly.

"Would you like to stay and work with me? There is still a shortage of Che Duner here."

Chen Nian didn't bother to ask those fancy questions that had nothing to do with his profession, and the other party was introduced by Xie Yu and was a projection of the characters in the dream, so Chen Nian was more at ease with the other party.

As for some things I want to know, there is still time to chat later.

"I am willing! I heard from my brother before, he said that the atmosphere here is good, and the salary is good, and I can learn something. I have applied to some bigger hotels before, but those hotels They are all relatively standardized... But boss, don’t get me wrong, it’s not that your side is not standardized, it’s that they usually have a very detailed division, and what you do is what you do.”

"Indeed, this is the case for big hotels, because it can improve efficiency." Chen Nian nodded and said.

"Yeah, but although I only want to chop porridge, I can only be responsible for a few types when I don't want to chop vegetables, so just as soon as my brother said it, I came here." Li Ting said.

"That's fine. Our working hours here are from 08:30 in the morning to [-]:[-] in the evening, and the break time is from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] at noon. If you have something in the morning, you can come after [-]:[-]. You are in the catering industry, so The market should also know that we don’t have a fixed day of rest every month, but we can take time off if something happens, and if it is a legitimate reason, no wages will be deducted.

In addition, five social insurances and one housing fund are fully covered, a regular physical examination is organized every year, and meals are taken care of three times a day, but regardless of accommodation... By the way, do you have a place to live? "

Chen Nian suddenly remembered this while talking.

"No, I came here as soon as I got off the train, but if I can stay here, I will probably rent a house nearby." Li Ting said very openly, listening to the tone and way of speaking Chen Nian all felt that the other party and Li Hua did have certain similarities.

"Okay, let's take a look at the houses first. There are still many communities around here, and there are many renters. You can talk to an intermediary. If you don't want to spend agency fees, you can go to the bulletin boards outside those communities to look at them. Look, but you have to distinguish, many of them say that the landlord is renting directly, and the call is also an intermediary."

Chen Nian reminded.

"Good boss, but when I'm looking for a house these days, I can temporarily stay at my brother's house. By the way, boss, when should I come to work?" Li Ting is quite satisfied with the treatment and benefits of Honghong Hotel.

After all, in their industry, especially those working in small restaurants, most of them don’t have social insurance, and don’t even think about providing provident funds, not to mention regular medical examinations and no deductions for vacations.

Generally speaking, it’s okay to take a rest day. The reason why it’s called a rest day is to transfer the rest day that should have been to other days, but it’s not worthwhile to ask for leave.

Because in most companies, if you take a day off, you will be deducted a day's wages.

"It's time to arrive at work... Look at this. When you come to work, you have to prepare your ID card, health certificate, nucleic acid report within three days, and if you have other useful things, you can also bring them, such as a chef certificate or It's some kind of certificate for grade examination.

Prepare what I just said before coming back. Anyway, I am not in a hurry recently. Since I am here, I am looking for a place to live, and on the other hand, I can also take a look around in Chengdu. "

"Okay, thank you boss! Come to work when I go back and get ready!"

"No problem, leave a phone number, and you can call me if you have anything to do in the middle."

After the two left each other's phone calls, Li Ting left.

"I think this kid is quite reliable, yes, his two strokes just now were really good."

"Yeah, it looks quite solid." Feng Honghong and Wen Hongxia were chatting in whispers a little further away.

But at this moment, Xie Yu suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, boss, how much salary do you plan to pay him? He didn't seem to ask just now. Can I ask for him first?"

"For now, let's start with five thousand and five. His sword skills are really good. I'll see later. If it's suitable, the salary can be increased. You can go back and talk to him to see if it's okay. Then you can pay him a salary. Tell him more about the situation on our side, I'm still quite optimistic about him." Chen Nian said, with a hint of persuasion in his words.

Although the other party didn't say no, Chen Nian felt that he still had to express his attitude, otherwise what would he do if he heard about the salary here and thought it was inappropriate and changed his mind.

Although it is said that everyone has reached a verbal statement.

But the actual situation has not yet been fully determined. Some companies may not be able to fully guarantee the arrival of employees even if they make an offer, let alone a restaurant like his.

"Okay, Master, I'll explain it to him later." Xie Yu promised, patted his chest.

After that, they started to get busy again.

But just after Chen Nian had washed his hands, he suddenly heard the phone ring. After hearing the sound, he dried his hands calmly, and then went outside to pick up the phone to reply.

This ringtone was specially set by him. Now whether An Hongdou sends a message or makes a phone call, there is a special ringtone. This is also old to distinguish.

Some messages may not be answered, and some calls may not be answered, but some calls must be answered, and some messages must be answered.

"Hello, Chef Chen, I have a small announcement today, but it's getting late after I'm done. Can I have a meal at your place tonight? I'll be there around 10:30."

"No problem, is there anything you want to eat?" Chen Nian immediately typed back.

"Can I order food? If I can order it, then I would like to eat something with a stronger taste.

But didn't you say you wanted to prepare some delicious food for me last time?Or do what you thought before. "

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the store then." Chen Nian locked the screen of the phone after replying to the message, and put it in the drawer.

And with the lessons learned from the past, Chen Nian paid special attention to the expression management when replying to the message, so as to avoid unnecessary expressions on his face, so that others could see the clues.

Some things are inconvenient to say to them.

And the others really didn't doubt it.

When Chen Nian was preparing food in the afternoon, he kept thinking about what to do in the evening.

Chen Nian had already thought about what to feed An Hongdou tonight, but now he needs to think about the details again, after all, this is the second time he has made it.

But it was also the only thing that the two elders could swallow when he competed with Lao Chen in the dark cuisine.

But now that I think about it, there are still many shortcomings. If I can make more improvements, it should be able to become a delicacy.

For this evening meal, Chen Nian deliberately didn't even eat the staff meal in the afternoon.

"Son, why don't you eat some? Xiaoxie did a pretty good job today." Feng Honghong said curiously.

"Mom, I'm not hungry, you guys eat first, I'll eat later in the evening." Chen Nian said.

"Then eat as much as you want, and fill your stomach. If you don't work all night, you won't faint from hunger."

"Don't worry, Mom, how can I faint from hunger as a cook? There is no food everywhere in this kitchen. If I am really hungry, I can try a few more dishes, but I am really not very hungry now. No appetite either."

"Oh, okay, then you have to worry about yourself when you are hungry, don't starve yourself to death, no matter how busy you are, you won't be unable to eat a bite."

And Chen Nian's claim that he was not hungry was false, but if he really said how hungry he was, then it wouldn't be enough.

He is mainly for this meal at night.

There weren't many people there tonight, and around nine or ten o'clock the guests had almost left, and Chen Nian also stopped cooking at this time, went to the door and hung up the closing sign.

"Okay, let's do this for today, go back and have a good rest." Chen Nian said.

And there have been times when it closed at such a time before, so everyone didn't say anything, and one by one began to pack their things and prepare to leave.

Not long after everyone left, a van suddenly stopped at the entrance of Honghong Hotel.

"Chen Nian, why do you want crayfish at night, and you want supper?" Brother Liu asked curiously after getting out of the car with a cigarette in his mouth.

"That's not true, it's just that I'm a little greedy and want to eat something. I haven't touched such a thing this summer, so I'm a little greedy for a while."

"Okay, the three catties you want are all in the car, and they are guaranteed to be fresh."

Brother Liu took down the bag containing the crayfish while talking, while Chen Nian opened it and looked through it, and found that it was really good.

"Okay, then thank you Brother Liu, it's hard work for you to make such a trip at night."

"It's okay, it's not far anyway, it's only a few minutes, call me later if you need anything."

"Okay, Brother Liu, please slow down on the road."

"Go away."

After watching Brother Liu drive away again, Chen Nian went back with the crayfish and prepared to clean it up.

Although these crayfish don't look very dirty, there is actually a lot of mud under their stomachs.

It needs to be cleaned with a brush.

After cleaning, the shrimp line must be removed, but the heads are not needed today, so the heads have to be cut off.

But the cut off head is not wasted when it is aged, and he plans to fry it with simple ingredients and still eat it.
