Don't pretend, I'm the God of Cooking and I'll showdown!

Chapter 157 Boss Lin, My Grandpa Came to Ask You for a Hand! 【Ask monthly ticket】

Ma Zhiqiang has rich work experience.

Before he became a temporary worker in the capital, he went to work wherever there was work, he opened a small restaurant, joined the stewed chicken and rice, and contracted the window of the school cafeteria...

His work experience is almost on par with Uncle Gao's love history.

At this moment, the boss asked him to cook a canteen-style grilled eggplant, and he immediately got to work.

Wash the eggplant, chop it into hob pieces with a kitchen knife, and say while chopping:
"The eggplant cubes in this dish in the cafeteria are relatively large, because it looks like a lot of food when it is propped up like this."

After cutting, put the eggplant cubes into a basin, beat an egg in it, sprinkle some salt, stir well, and then grab some flour in it:
"Starch is too expensive, and the batter is too thin, so school cafeterias use flour, so that the batter is thicker, not only looks bigger, tastes better, but also saves fuel when frying."

From the perspective of taste, food has infinite possibilities.

But starting from the cost, all the ingredients, ingredients, and condiments will all be compressed and then compressed. Only in this way can sufficient profits be guaranteed.

This is what Ma Zhiqiang is doing now.

In his words, it is actually made in the school cafeteria. Eggs are not even added to the batter, but some water is directly poured on the eggplant pieces to ensure that the flour can stick to it.

After the eggplant cubes are ready.

He took a pan to heat the oil, and when the oil was hot, he prepared some tomatoes, green and red peppers, and fungus.

These ingredients are generally not less.

"When eggplants are expensive in winter, I put some onions in to make up for the weight, but in summer eggplants are cheap, so there is no need to do this."

Lin Xu and Xie Baomin looked at each other in dismay.

In order to save money, I really do everything I can.

One of the two senior brothers started working in Diaoyutai, and the other’s business has been booming since the opening of the shop. They have never experienced the embarrassment of those small restaurant owners who want to break it in half for a penny.

So now listening to Ma Zhiqiang's explanation, I feel inexplicably moved.

I always feel that people in the catering industry are really miserable.

After the oil was hot, Ma Zhiqiang grabbed the batter-wrapped eggplant pieces and dropped them into the oil pan, and started frying until the batter on the surface turned golden.

No re-explosion.

The biggest function of re-frying is to force out the excess fat.

And these eggplant cubes were originally wrapped in thick batter, and it would be more fragrant to eat with some fat left. If the fat is forced out, the fragrance will not be enough.

Watching Ma Zhiqiang's operation.

Xie Baomin finally realized the difference between himself and the school chef:
"My approach is really too delicate..."

Ma Zhiqiang poured out the oil in the pan and started frying.

He put minced green onion and garlic into the pot to saute until fragrant, then put in half a frying spoon of tomato sauce, add water after frying the aroma, and start seasoning. In addition to salt, white sugar and light soy sauce, he also added chicken essence and monosodium glutamate.

Pour the fungus and tomato cubes into the pot after putting them away.

Tomatoes are only added at this point, of course not for frying tomato juice, it should be just like green and red peppers, purely for garnish.

Boil the soup in the pot, stir it twice, then pour in the fried eggplant pieces and green and red peppers.

After pouring it in, the fire boiled.

Then use starch water to thicken the soup, boil the soup until it is thick, pour some cooking oil in the pot, and take it out of the pot.

The roasted eggplant made by this method has a strong aroma, the soup is thick, the eggplant is full of ruddy tomato sauce, the tomato is basically formed, and the green and red peppers are half-cooked.

Well, that's what it smells like!

Lin Xu suddenly found the feeling of eating in the cafeteria.

Without saying a word, he went to serve a bowl of rice.

I used a spoon to fill some soup from the roasted eggplant made by Ma Zhiqiang, put a few pieces of slightly mushy eggplant in the bowl, and took a bite with the rice.

In a second, he returned to the canteen of the University of Finance and Economics.

It's a pity that there are no cafeteria aunts and classmates queuing up to eat with spoons, otherwise the sense of substitution will be stronger.

"Brother, try it too. This is the canteen flavor. Use chicken essence and monosodium glutamate to bring out the flavor. It is stronger and more intuitive than your pork bone broth."

Although the broth can also increase the flavor.

But compared with the professional fresh seasoning, it is still not enough.

Xie Baomin's anger is calm now.

He smiled helplessly:
"I thought something was wrong, but it turned out to be like this... Thank you, Xiao Ma, for letting me see the food in the school cafeteria."

Ma Zhiqiang finished cleaning the pot, and now he is preparing lunch for everyone:

"You are polite, thank you master, I just lift a finger."

soon.

Lunch begins.

Shen Jiayue also came to get the lunch box.

But when she saw two roasted eggplants on the table, she asked curiously:

"Eggplants are cheap today? Why do you make two eggplant dishes?"

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Today, my brother competed with the master chef in the school cafeteria, so there are two roasted eggplants, one for a high-end hotel and one for the school cafeteria."

Shen Jiayue immediately extended her chopsticks to the roasted eggplant made by Ma Zhiqiang:
"Then I chose the school cafeteria. I still remember that every time the aunt in our school cafeteria gave you a big portion of roasted eggplant, I didn't even give it if I wanted to try it, cheapskate."

Thinking of the years in college, this girl had a sweet smile on her face.

That is our youth!

You were in my youth, and I was in your youth, so good!
She tasted what Ma Zhiqiang made, and then Xie Baomin, and commented earnestly:
"Brother's taste is better, the skin of the eggplant is still crispy, but the one made by Master Ma is more delicious, because the school cafeteria is made with this taste."

ho...

Don't offend either side, you are really a master of Duan Shui.

If you talk to your father-in-law and mother-in-law like this, you won't be on the verge of being beaten all the time... Lin Xu silently complained about his girlfriend, then looked at Xie Baomin and asked:
"Brother, you can try again when you go home tonight. If it doesn't work, we will send Master Ma here. I don't believe you can't be a junior high school canteen master."

Xie Baomin felt relieved at this moment.

At least if he uses the cooking learning card to him, there will be no angry skill prompts popping up.

He smiled and said:

"It's not my fault, it's my fault. I have been cooking at home the way I cook at Diaoyutai. No wonder the kids don't like it. Compared with what Master Ma cooks, I have a lot less fireworks."

The hotel's catering basically has nothing to do with fireworks.

On the contrary, in some farmhouse restaurants, you can eat smoky dishes.

Xie Baomin has come to his senses at this moment, why the last time his wife took the children to go camping in Xishan, she was so happy when she heard that she would not go.

Probably because he dislikes his lack of fireworks?
In the future, I have to get rid of this shortcoming and treat work and life separately.

Be a pillar of fireworks at home, and be a strict executive chef in Diaoyutai.

thought here.

He said to Lin Xu seriously:

"Junior brother, thank you for making me understand the importance of separating life and work."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ?
Why did you suddenly say thank you?
You don't want to dance "Listen to Thank You" do you?

Xie Baomin didn't even bother to eat, so he was ready to go home, intending to be honest with his family about his shortcomings:
"I'm going back to junior brother first. The staff meals in your store should be changed. I'll teach you how to make Zaozhuang spicy chicken. It's more suitable for rice..."

After he leaves.

Lin Xu still didn't want to understand why his brother thanked him.

But Zaozhuang spicy chicken...

This dish is not bad.

Since I haven't learned how to burn eggplant, it's not bad to learn this dish.

After learning Zaozhuang Spicy Chicken, there is at least one more way to eat chicken in the restaurant. Unlike now, it is either steamed or dry-stir-fried, which is too restrictive.

"Today, I told Uncle Tan that the store will be closed for renovation. He immediately asked Assistant Yuan to arrange a business trip. If he can't eat your food, he doesn't want to stay in the capital for a moment..."

Shen Jiayue talked about Tan Yajun's funny stories while eating.

Although Shen Guofu claims to be the little prince of gourmet food every day, he is far less picky than Tan Yajun when it comes to food. This is also the day in the group, when Tan Yajun said that Lin Ji’s food was delicious, his friends immediately fell in love reason.

Lin Xu said:

"When I work at Diaoyutai in the future, I can also bring him a lunch."

"Okay, I'll tell Uncle Tan when I get back."

Just finished speaking, Shen Jiayue said:

"By the way, it will be inconvenient for you to take the subway to and from get off work in the future. My dad prepared a scooter for you. I sent it to you for inspection and maintenance yesterday. By the way, I washed it inside and out. The company's driver may send it to you in the afternoon. Come on, remember to accept it."

scooter?
Hearing these three words, the figure of an old scooter flashed unconsciously in Lin Xu's mind.

Didn't the capital ban such cars on the road?
Could it be a small tram like Hongguang mini?
That's okay, at least it's much better than taking the subway, because the subway station is a certain distance from Diaoyutai, and it takes a long time to walk through the gate of Diaoyutai to go to Building No. [-].

Two in the afternoon.

After busying around noon.

Lin Xu just wanted to go back to the community behind to take a nap.

A man in his mid-twenties opened the door and walked in:
"Boss Lin, Mr. Shen asked me to come and deliver the trolley to you..."

Delivered so soon?
Lin Xu happily came to the door, smiled and said:

"Thank you, I also asked you to make a special trip...Give me the car keys...Huh? Mercedes?"

Lin Xu was a little stunned when he saw the car keys.

It turned out to be the key to the Mercedes-Benz.

Didn't you mean scooter?
Isn't it what I thought?

He opened the door and went out, only to see a white Mercedes-Benz G63 quietly parked in the parking space at the door, which is the legendary Mercedes-Benz G.

This is the scooter that student Shen said?
Did she have some misunderstanding about the word transportation?

"The car has just finished maintenance, the inside has been cleaned, and the fuel has been filled up. The fuel card is in the hidden compartment in front of the passenger seat..."

When Lin Xu was in a daze.

The driver who delivered the car introduced the car on his own.

After he finished speaking, Lin Xu came back to his senses.

He got in the car for a test drive, and he felt pretty good. As expected of a multi-million dollar luxury car, it was stable to drive, and the sound insulation effect was also quite good.

Parked the car in the parking space again, Lin Xu rushed to the brother who delivered the car and said:

"It's such a hot day, thank you for making this trip, what's your name?"

This little guy said:
"My name is Zou Cheng, and I'm Mr. Shen's driver, but he prefers to drive by himself, so I'm in charge of the company's vehicle maintenance and regularly send the car to the 4S shop for maintenance."

Wow, this is a great job.

It's enough to drive around in a luxury car all day. Most people can't get such a good job, right?

Perhaps seeing the doubt in Lin Xu's eyes, Zou Cheng said:

"My sister is Mr. Shen's secretary, that's why I was lucky enough to get such a job... If there is nothing wrong, I will go back to Boss Lin first. If there is any problem with the car, just call me. I am on the back of the gas card." phone number."

Before coming here, his sister specifically explained.

This Boss Lin is Mr. Shen's son-in-law, so you must be polite when you speak, and don't take the initiative to mention adding WeChat when he didn't ask, so as not to be annoying.

all in all.

We must show respect to Mr. Shen to treat this boss Lin.

Others don't know, but secretary Xiao Zou knows very well how much Mr. Shen values ​​this son-in-law.

After Zou Cheng left.

Lin Xu walked around the car twice before returning to the store with the car keys.

I have a car.

It's still a dream car.

But Lin Xu was not very happy. He felt that it would be more enjoyable to buy a car with his own money. Driving someone else's car, even if it belonged to his father-in-law, would also give him a sense of alienation.

While thinking about it, a system notification sounded in my mind:

"The host did not lose himself in the rich material, but inspired a new fighting spirit, and specially rewarded the excellent special ingredient - steamed meat powder, congratulations to the host."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ?
Is there a reward for this too?
And it's still the steamed meat powder technique.

Doesn't that mean that dishes such as steamed pork, steamed chicken, and pork ribs can be made?
Not bad, I knew that my father-in-law declined the last time when he gave the store a gift. I don’t know if similar rewards will be triggered.

Well, if it works, wouldn't it be another way to squeeze wool.

After delivering the car and testing the car, Lin Xu perfectly missed his nap time.

Since I can't sleep, let's try to make this steamed meat powder.

Try steaming some pork belly in the afternoon.

If it is delicious, a new dish will be added to the store.

The utilization rate of the steamer will also continue to increase.

It's a pity that the store is about to close, so there is no need to serve new dishes, otherwise Lin Xu would have to serve two steamed dishes to increase the turnover of the store.

"Is the big G outside your car, boss? It's so beautiful!"

Che Zai looked at the Mercedes-Benz G63 outside the window, his eyes were full of envy and longing.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"My father-in-law lent me to drive it, and I returned it to him if I didn't go to work in Diaoyutai later."

It is impossible to go to Diaoyutai without a car.

But after the opening of the new store, he will live in the community behind, so there is no need to buy such an eye-catching car, let alone drive it a few times, and he has to beware of being scratched at all times.

Lin Xu put the car keys into the drawer of the cash register and rubbed Dundun's round head.

There are no chances to draw for these two days.

There is also a lot less interaction between father and son.

He played with the little guy for a while before returning to the kitchen.

Wash your hands first, then take out the rice and glutinous rice in the storage room, put them into the basin at a ratio of one to one, wash them twice, add clean water and start soaking.

Steamed meat powder needs to be soaked first, soak the rice thoroughly and then fry it dry, so that the rice grains will break apart easily.

Just soaked the rice.

Dou Wenjing walked in with a man carrying a computer bag.

"Mr. Lin, this is Zheng Xiaoguang, the chief designer of Jinghua Design Firm. He is very good at designing high-end restaurants, hotels, clubs and other high-end projects. Now that the overall sketch has been released, please take a look at it first. If you have any requirements, please let me know." Propose it and let Teacher Zheng make adjustments."

so soon?

Lin Xu wiped his hands and came outside.

The designer was gentle, and after exchanging greetings with Lin Xu, he took out his laptop, opened it, and displayed the finished design.

First is the kitchen.

"I designed the kitchen on the second floor, because the larger the area for individual guests on the first floor, the more customers will be attracted. On the contrary, if the kitchen and the front desk occupy more than half of the area on the first floor, the ability to attract individual guests will drop a lot. .”

As expected of a person who is good at restaurant and hotel design, he still has a good understanding of the psychology of individual tourists.

Not all customers are leisurely and leisurely. Quite a few people are very nervous about eating time. If they have to climb stairs to the second floor to eat bowls of noodles, it is more suitable for those who are afraid of trouble to change.

Zheng Xiaoguang explained while letting Lin Xu look at the design drawings.

For example, considering that there are many steamed dishes in the store, he specially designed a larger steaming room, so that you don’t have to worry about not having enough space to cook steamed dishes in the future.

In addition, in order to facilitate the food, there are several small elevators dedicated to the food.

The waiters on the first and third floors just need to wait in the walk-in kitchen.

It can save the labor cost of taking vegetables.

In addition, the kitchen is also divided into different areas such as the roast meat area, the cold dish area, the stir-fry area, and the pastry area. Finally, everyone does not have to work together noisyly.

After seeing the kitchen, there is the private room on the third floor.

There are more than 24 private rooms on the third floor. The private rooms are large and small. The small private room can only seat six or seven people, while the largest private room has a large round table that can seat [-] people.

After reading it, I went back to the second floor again. The kitchen alone occupies half of the area on the second floor, and the remaining half is made into booths, so that customers who eat have a little privacy.

As for the first floor, it is the front desk and the individual guest area.

There is an elevator on both sides of the front desk for customers to go up and down the stairs, and next to it is a long strip of super large aquarium, which can be divided into different areas for stocking fresh river or seafood, so that customers can choose more intuitively.

Check out the entire design.

Lin Xu thinks the style is pretty good.

It also fits my imagination.

After reading the interior design part, the last is the door.

The exterior wall adopts the new Chinese style, which is fashionable but not too prominent, which is somewhat similar to the style of the current store.

Zheng Xiaoguang pointed to the door and said:
"Our design office has cooperated with many calligraphers. We can ask them to inscribe the name of the store at a low price, which is more high-end. If the money is more, we can even invite the most famous disciple of Mr. Lishan to inscribe in recent years. .”

Mr. Lishan's...disciple?
Lin Xu was delighted when he heard it. Mr. Lishan personally inscribed the store name in the store logo. If the door was mentioned by his disciples, Geng Lele’s grandfather would have to demolish the store later?
He smiled and said:

"No, we know other calligraphers."

Zheng Xiaoguang thought that Lin Xu was worried about being deceived, so he was about to continue to persuade him a few more words.

Geng Lele's voice sounded at the door:
"Boss Lin, my grandfather has come to ask you for help!"

Zheng Xiaoguang turned his face away.

I saw a girl in a high school uniform walking into the store with an old man in exercise clothes.

After seeing the old man's appearance.

Zheng Xiaoguang was taken aback for a moment:
"Li...Mr. Lishan?"
