Food starts with Mapo Tofu

There is no other reason for adding sugar color, it is to complement the color and make the stewed meat look better after it comes out.

As Chen Nian and Xiao Jing said earlier, different spices are added at different times, and different materials are added at different times.

Pork knuckles take a long time, so they need to be added first, but ingredients such as pig tails, duck wings, and ribs need to be added later.

Otherwise, if the cooking time is too long, the outer skin will melt. Not only will the ingredients themselves shrink too much due to the replacement reaction, but the appearance will not be particularly good.

But when these ingredients are cooked, they cannot be taken out immediately, and the fire needs to be turned off and soaked in it for about an hour.

These are naturally also counted in the overall marinating time.

So the whole process will take three to four hours no matter what.

After completing these tasks, it is basically time for business.

Thanks to the sales at noon, there are more people selling braised meat here at night, and there are many people who live here but don’t work here. They will also see that there are already many people passing by Honghong Restaurant after get off work at night. opened a window.

I came over to have a look, and found that the price is relatively expensive. Compared with the cheap, affordable and delicious dishes in Honghong Restaurant, it seems that I have forgotten my original intention.

"No, no, although the price here is indeed higher, but the boss puts a lot of spices in it, and they are all weighed out by the boss, so the cost will naturally be higher.

By the way, there are some samples here. You can try them first. If you think it tastes good, you can buy some. If you think it tastes bad, you don’t have to buy it. "

Trying to eat is the way Xiao Huaer came up with in the afternoon, because the price of their lo mei here is indeed higher, but how can customers know whether the money they spend is worth it if they don’t eat it?
And what I tried was not a whole chicken wing or a whole pig's trotter, but a part cut from it, as long as it was neither too stingy nor too much.

Anyway, most people are embarrassed not to buy it after tasting it. As long as it doesn’t feel particularly unpalatable, they will buy some more or less.

Therefore, after Chen Nian heard this suggestion, he immediately agreed.

The customers who purchased nodded after hearing this, picked up a toothpick on the plate and tried a small piece, and after a taste, they found that it was really delicious.

In addition, when Xiaohua stood there, although she was wearing a hat and a mask, her sweet voice and those lively eyes looked very close, so they didn't reject her very much.

So this [-], that [-] also bought up.

The guests can weigh as many florets as they want. At the beginning, he could not control the quantity when cutting, but of course he mastered the skills as he cut.

Occasionally there is an extra one or two yuan, and the guests don't care about it. After all, Xiaohua will ask every time if it is okay to have a little more. If the customer is not willing, then Xiaohua will not force them. Wipe off the change of a few cents, pack it up and hand it to the customer.

In this way, when it was past eight o'clock, all the lo mei in the store were sold out.

"Xiaohua, take out the spice packs inside, these can be used a few times, I will replace them with new ones after use, and filter the dregs inside with a strainer, and then put the stewed soup into the bucket These are all good things, and the lo mei made after using them for a period of time will become more fragrant."

"Good boss."

Xiao Hua nodded, and after finishing all the work according to Chen Nian's requirements, she wanted to carry the bucket into the kitchen, but when Chen Nian saw this, he quickly asked Li Ting to help. It may be a little strenuous.

"Xiaohua, if you have nothing else to do, you should get off work first and go back to rest. After all, you have been busy all day and you are quite tired."

After seeing Xiaohua finish her work, Feng Honghong said caringly.

"It's okay, auntie, I feel fine."

Xiaohua shook her head and said, after all, this was her first day at work, she felt that she always had to work harder, even if the work at hand was over, the store was still open, anyway, she had nothing to do after returning home, so she could only lie down Playing with your phone on the bed, it's better to stay here and help out.

So Xiaohua stayed and helped Feng Honghong carry the dishes and wipe the table.

In this way, at around 40:[-], the last customer in the store left, and their business for today was over.

"get off work!"

"It's been hard work for everyone today, go back and have a good rest, and continue to work tomorrow." Chen Nian came out and said.

"Xiaohua, do you live far away from home? If it is far away, I will send you back. After all, it is not safe for a girl to be outside alone at night."

"Boss who is not far away, the house I rented is nearby, about 10 minutes' walk, I just go back by myself."

"That's ok, by the way, you can add our group, we have two groups, one is an internal group, and the other is a group created by some regular customers, most of us are also in it."

"Good boss."

Afterwards, Chen Nian dragged Xiao Hua into the work group of their Red Hotel and the group of [What's for lunch today].

Chen Nian: "Hi everyone, the one I just pulled in is a new employee in our store called Yu Xiaohua, who is mainly in charge of braised pork."

Xiaohuahua: "Hi everyone, my name is Yu Xiaohua. Today is my first day working in the Honghong Hotel. I hope everyone will take care of you in the future. If there is any place where the hospitality is not good in the future, please feel free to bring it up. It will be corrected!"

Miao Miaowu: "Wow, there is finally a girl in Honghong Restaurant, and she is so cute. Tomorrow, I will go to Honghong Restaurant for dinner, meet Xiaohua, and taste the stewed pork cooked by Boss Chen by the way."

Xiao Xiaojing: "I've seen Xiaohua today, she's really cute, although she feels a little shy and introverted, but she's very hard-working and very attractive."

Ye Feng (hope-hop, jazz, and other dances sign up for me): "Hey hey hey, miss and post with me~"

Luo Yeye: "Miss, do you have a boyfriend?"

Xu Qiuqiu: "If not, I have a lot of outstanding single brothers who can introduce you to me."

Xiao Huahua: "Thank you everyone, I don't have a boyfriend yet, but I don't plan on dating now, I just want to work hard and make money!"

Hongdou: "Come on, Xiaohua, the people in Honghong Hotel are very nice. If Boss Chen dares to bully you, you can tell Aunt Honghong or me, and I will teach him a lesson for you."

Jiang Xia: "Speaking of which, I haven't been to Honghong Hotel for a while. Unfortunately, I just returned to Guangdong. In March and April next year, I will go to Chengdu to live for another two months."

In this way, everyone welcomed Xiaohua's arrival.

At the same time, those who should go back to Honghong Hotel also went back, and finally only Chen Nian, Feng Honghong and Yu Xiaohua were left.

But when Xiao Hua finished packing and was about to leave, she saw that Chen Nian didn't even change her clothes and had no intention of leaving at all, so she couldn't help asking curiously: "Boss, why don't you go back?"

"I don't want to go back. I want to stay in the store to study the lo-mei. I feel that today's types can be adjusted appropriately. Some of them can be removed and some can be added."

"It's hard work." Xiao Hua said, "Then I'll go back, boss."

"okay bye."

"Son, then I'll go back first, don't stay up too late, come back soon."

"Mom, I'll go back after a while. I won't stay very late today."

After sending everyone away in this way, Chen Nian stayed and began to modify the current types of stewed meat.

"As for chickens, they are not as good as ducks, so I only keep chicken legs and feet, and I don't need to buy whole chicken wings. I only sell the tips of chicken wings. The rest of the poultry use ducks, duck heads, and ducks. Wings, duck feet, duck hearts, etc., you can make more types of ducks.

For pigs, in addition to the large intestines, pig tails, and elbows, you can also add pork liver, pork belly, and some ribs. Pig trotters must be added. By the way, there is also pig head meat. After all, take-out customers have to be considered. "

After revising the list in this way, Chen Nian sent the new list and the required quantities to Brother Liu.

Just wait until tomorrow comes and replace the price list hanging outside.

In view of the hot sale of lo mei today, Chen Nian deliberately ordered more of those that sold better today, and the newly added ones are still ordered according to the amount of testing water. If they sell well tomorrow, they will be added appropriately. Some.

After finishing these, Chen Nian went home.

In the morning of the next day, Chen Nian wrote out the revised lo-mei menu by hand and posted it on the wall.

"Boss, is your calligraphy so beautiful?" Xiaohua asked curiously, with admiration in her eyes.

"Fortunately, this mainly depends on practice, you can write more." Chen Nian said with a smile.

"I'll forget it. I can write with a hard pen, but I can't use a brush." ​​Xiaohua said modestly, but she suddenly thought of something, "By the way, boss, should we do some publicity in our store? Make a public account or post some videos about dishes online?
Even if we don't invite those Internet celebrities to visit the store, this can still increase some customer traffic. "

Chen Nian thought for a while: "Actually, I really want to do it, set up a public account or something, but I probably don't have much time to do it myself, and because I'm busy with work, other people have never been in touch with this aspect. or I don’t have much time, so I haven’t done it all the time.”

After finishing speaking, Chen Nian looked at Xiao Hua again: "Xiao Hua, can you do this?"

Yu Xiaohua smiled shyly: "I'm not particularly good at it, but I have done some things about official accounts before, and I actually like to take pictures, but my family was poor before, so I could only use my mobile phone to shoot. "

"How about this, Xiaohua, do you feel that you are busy at work now? If you think it's okay, why don't you give it a try and help us?" Chen Nian said, "In this way, if something happens in our store You can also tell everyone about the new dishes on these platforms, or if you want to ask for leave, you can also tell them in advance, so that everyone doesn’t know that we have asked for leave and came here for dinner, only to find that we are closed.”

"Boss, can I?"

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. If you can really do this, I can give you a salary increase."

As soon as Xiaohua heard that she was going to raise her wages, Xiaohua's eyes lit up immediately.

Although Chen Nian's salary for her is considered acceptable now, but who doesn't want to earn a little more?

"It's just the boss. I just came here. I don't know if they are willing to do this."

When Chen Nian heard Xiao Hua's words, he immediately understood that Xiao Hua might still be afraid that other people would think too much. After all, if you really want to talk about it, the technical content of Xiao Hua's work is still not as good as those of his apprentices in the kitchen.

But earning more or not much less money than them may make others feel unfair.

So Chen Nian turned his head to look at the kitchen again: "I'm going to do some new media stuff next time, are you interested? Even if you don't, it's okay, you can learn, and then you can do it with Xiao Hua, And if you do this, your salary will be higher.”

Hearing this, Li Ting asked curiously: "Master, what exactly are you going to do?"

"The main thing is to write articles, shoot videos, and take pictures of some dishes, and then post them on the platform. I probably need to do some typesetting, and reply to some comments from everyone on the backstage or in the comment area."

"Forget it. I'm not very good at these things. When I was a child, it was difficult for me to write a composition of several hundred words, let alone an article." Li Ting shook his head and gave up quickly.

"Then what about you, if you want to do it, you can do it together."

But the others thought for a while and shook their heads.

"I'll just learn how to cook honestly, and let Xiaohua do this job." Xie Yu said.

Chen Nian nodded: "At that time, don't be jealous of others taking an extra share of money, but you are usually very busy, work hard in the kitchen and study hard, and I will give you a salary increase later. You can rest assured about the salary increase."

"Master, there is nothing to envy. After all, we really can't do this kind of work, otherwise we would definitely not miss this opportunity."

After asking everyone's opinions, Chen Nian looked at Yu Xiaohua: "Then I will leave this job to you, come on, you can think about what you want to do today, make a plan, and turn around Let's talk again."

"Good boss!"

Xiaohua's little face was flushed, obviously a little excited after being entrusted with an important task.

In this way, before she started working in the morning, she kept thinking about this matter, and when she started to open after the staff meal, she devoted herself to her work, but she didn't go back to rest during the lunch break , but asked Chen Nian for a pen and paper, and then began to write and draw.
