The story of a cook

Chapter 229 Studying Kung Fu Fish

The food and drink are all served, and the atmosphere will rise after three glasses of wine. From unfamiliarity to familiarity at the beginning, from being polite to talking about everything, it is all thanks to the wine.

Zhou Xiaomei can drink, but she is still an outgoing person. She soon chatted with Sister Ma and Sister Jin. They talked about theirs, and Master Li and I drank and chatted about us.

I asked: "Master Li, what do you do when you make Kung Fu fish?"

Master Li said: "I didn't do much, just fried the whole fish, and then started to stew it according to the usual way, adding some pork belly and chili, but the taste of the stew was different from others, not very delicious. "

I said, "What if you don't fry it?"

Master Li said: "Is it okay if you don't fry it, it must have a strong earthy smell."

I said: "Not necessarily, there are chili peppers, did you put farmhouse sauce in the stew?"

Master Li said, "That's not enough."

I said: "When I eat the fish at his house, I feel that it is not fried or fried. It is just stewed directly. The stewed fish at my house is also stewed in the same way. Whoever still frys the fish, just clean up the fish , Put it directly in the pot and stew it, fry the pot with chopped green onion, add some pork belly with soy sauce and miso sauce and stew it directly. When stewing, it will be stewed on a low fire. It takes more than an hour to stew the fish into the taste. At this time, it is Xiaonantun That smell."

Master Li heard what I said, and he said, "I haven't tried this. If it doesn't work, I'll try again when I go back."

I said: "Did you notice that the fish in his family is very fast, and it is guaranteed to be stewed in advance. One stew is a pot. I guess at least a dozen fish are stewed together, otherwise the smell will not come out." , it is impossible to go up so fast."

Master Li said: "That's right, the main thing is that we don't have those customers, and we don't dare to stew more than ten fish at once. It won't be a waste if we can't sell them."

I said: "Yes, I'm afraid it won't be sold out and wasted after the stew is finished. I guess it was the same when Xiaonantun first opened, but people dare to stew it, and if they can't sell it, they eat it by themselves. No matter how good the dishes are, it is only good if the guests approve. If the guests don’t approve, it’s useless. If you want to ask the guests to approve, you have to ask the guests to eat first, and the guests can’t applaud even if they don’t eat.”

Master Li said, "That's true."

I said: "If you can't do it, just stew it in a pot and try it yourself first. If you reach that taste, you will sell it first. If the customer doesn't order it, you will give it away. That is, let the customer eat it. When you feel good after eating, you should take the initiative to order it. They are all sold in this way. If you wait for the waiter to recommend it to the customers, you may have to wait for the monkey years."

Master Li said: "This is the case. The main thing is to stew the fish first, and then recommend it to the guests. Or as you said, if the guest doesn't order it, we will give it away. It is free for him to eat. First order He eats it, and it’s time to order next time when he’s finished eating.”

"Yes, that's it." I said, "No, you can try again when you go back. We spend money on drinking. If it doesn't work, just drink less wine, buy a few fish yourself and try to cook it. If you can taste it , the boss is not blind after the guests have eaten, and sooner or later he will report the money for the fish to you."

Master Li said: "If the research is done, you don't have to report it. After all, it's my own food."

I said: "Yes, but remember, you must use farmhouse sauce and dried chili from our house, nothing else."

Master Li said: "Where can I buy it? It's not easy to buy."

I said: "I see that you don't always go to the morning market. There are plenty in the morning market, and there are all kinds of things for sale. If there is something for sale, you just need to sleep less and get up early to go to the morning market. There are not many expensive things. Buy some Go back and tinker."

Master Li said: "I'll go to the morning market tomorrow. Our place is close to Xiaoheyan, and Xiaoheyan happens to have a morning market, and there are grass carp sellers."

I said: "That's not right, I have everything. I have a seafood chef here, who is the head chef. I'm embarrassed to tinker with it. I tinker with it like I'm stealing his job. Otherwise, I would have tinkered with it long ago."

Master Li said: "Don't fix it first, I'll try it first. If it's done, tell you, I will do it, and you will do it."

I said, "Okay, you do it first, and tell me when it's done, and I'll do it too."

Sister Ma and Zhou Xiaomei finished their chat, she pushed Master Li and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

"We're chatting about food." Master Li said.

Sister Ma said: "You are so dedicated, you go out to drink and chat about food, drinking is drinking, you don't talk about work, you know, come on, the three of us have a drink."

I had a drink with Sister Ma and Master Li.

Sister Ma told me: "Master Tan, your niece is quite good at drinking, did you train her at home?"

I smiled and said, "Drinking takes education. We Beipiao people can drink, no matter male or female."

Sister Ma didn't believe it, and asked, "Then your niece can drink too?"

I said, "She's still young, just seventeen, so she can't drink."

"What does your niece look like?" Sister Ma asked, and then said, "I haven't seen her before. Seeing that your niece is so beautiful, your niece must be pretty too."

I said, "Well, it's okay, don't be silly."

At this time, Sister Jin said: "Someday I have time to bring your niece out, let's all take a look."

I said, "She's at work, wait until she has time."

Sister Jin said: "You don't get off work when you go to get off work, what can we do, we are all her aunts, and we can still lead her away."

I said, "I'm really afraid that you will lead her away."

I was very happy to drink, and I didn't drink too much. After drinking, Zhou Xiaomei got closer and went back to the dormitory.

Sister Ma and Master Li should have discussed it. They said they were going for a stroll, so they took a taxi and left.

I wondered where to go shopping in the winter, and why didn't I just go back to Sister Ma's house, hey, whether it's a man or a woman, once you have the opposite sex, you lose your humanity and make friends carelessly.

Sister Jin and I were left. I said to send her back to the dormitory, but she said it would be better to take a walk.

There is really nothing to go in the winter.

I said, "You are not cold."

Sister Jin said: "I just finished drinking, it's not too cold."

I said, "How about this, I'll take you back by bicycle, and it's a stroll by the way, how about it?"

Sister Jin said: "It's okay, I haven't ridden a bicycle for a long time, and I have forgotten what it feels like."

I said, "I'll take you to find out how you feel today."

Riding a bicycle, Sister Jin sat behind me and hugged me tightly, a bit ambiguous.

She thought that if Lin Yan saw this, she would not be in a hurry.

It is not far from the west gate of Beiling to Taishan Road, and it takes only 10 minutes to ride a bicycle.

Sister Jin asked from behind: "Where did you say Sister Ma and the two of them went?"

I said: "It's still a question, if I can leave you alone, I will either go to Sister Ma's house or open a house."

Sister Jin said, "I guess I went to Sister Ma's house."

I said, "That's good too."

Sister Jin asked, "Don't you envy them?"

I said, "There's nothing to be envious of, it's human nature."

Sister Jin said: "No, let's go to the room."

I laughed and said, "Don't scare me, I'm timid."

Sister Jin giggled from behind.

People sometimes have an emotion that needs to be released, and another emotion that needs to be hidden and controlled.

That's it, you can do whatever you want if you don't treat a woman well, although the other party can accept it, but if you can't give her a future, don't do anything, sometimes it hurts.

I know that Sister Jin likes me and hopes to be with me, even if she can't become a husband and wife, she is willing to be with me, but I can't do that, I can't delay people's life just because she likes me, sooner or later, Sister Jin I will meet a man who treats her sincerely, and I will re-establish a family. I cannot be a stumbling block in her heart.

At the age of 26, I didn't expect it to be so profound, but I knew that I couldn't have a relationship with Sister Jin. It's good to be friends like this. One day she finds her own destination and may gradually stay away or even disappear.

It doesn't matter, at least there is a good thought.

I sent Sister Jin to the downstairs of the dormitory. Sister Jin looked at me and wanted to say something. I said, "Here we are, escorted home safely, let's go in."

Sister Jin opened her mouth, but finally went in without saying anything.
