I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 120 Is This Boss So Young?

Seven dining halls, in the kitchen.

Just made a large pot of beef fried rice noodles, Jiang Yu didn't stop for a moment, turned around and came to the side dish room, took out a few large pieces of pork tenderloin from the fresh-keeping cabinet, and washed them in the vegetable sink Finally, drain the water a little, put it on the chopping board and cut it up.

"Boss, don't you want to eat something first?"

Lu Shuwu was holding a large plate of hot and fragrant beef fried noodles, and while eating it "suosuosuosuo", he stood at the door of the side dish room and poked his head, asking curiously,
"Breakfast is almost over, don't you need to cook now?"

"It's not for now, it's for lunch."

Jiang Yu didn't stop working, and while cutting the meat slices, he said,
"The process of this dish is relatively complicated. I will cut the meat first. If I wait until almost noon to start, it may be too late."

When Lu Shuwu heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he asked quickly, "What kind of food is it?"

"Small crispy pork in sour soup."

"This, this dish is delicious!"

When Lu Shuwu heard the name of this dish, his saliva almost flowed out. He quickly raised his sleeve and wiped the corner of his mouth, and said with a silly smile,

"This vegetable has rotten meat and fresh soup, sour and appetizing. It's absolutely delicious when you use it to make rice!"

Small crispy pork in sour soup is a famous dish in Heyu Province, but small crispy pork is very popular in all parts of China.

Small crispy meat is not only a special snack in Jin Province, Shanxi Province and other places, but also very common in Zhangjiang, Jingchu, Sichuan, Ningzhou and other places. The taste is not the same.

But without exception, there is not much difference in the cooking methods of the small crispy pork from all over the world. The most important thing is that it needs to be glued and pasted.

The reason why the small crispy meat in sour soup is complicated is that the small crispy meat must be made first, and then made into soup.

The small crispy pork is a dish in itself, and it becomes another dish when made into sour soup.

The reason why Jiang Yu chose to make this small crispy pork in sour soup was that his ultimate purpose was to practice the basic skills of sizing and hanging paste.

As for cooking, you can only improve faster if you practice more.

He smiled and said, "Since it's so delicious, then you should eat less fried rice noodles, and save some stomach for rice with sour soup and crispy pork at noon."

"Uh... I think, I think beef fried rice noodles are also delicious!"

When Lu Shuwu heard that something was wrong, he quickly slipped away to eat with the rice noodles in his hand.

This is delicious, how can he let it slip?

Aren't you sorry for your reputation as a foodie?
"..."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, he didn't care about Lu Shuwu anymore, and continued to lower his head and busy cutting the meat.

After all the meat was cut, Jiang Yu brought over a clean stainless steel basin, put the meat slices in it, then added minced ginger, salt, and peppercorns, grabbed them well, covered them with plastic wrap, and put them in a fresh-keeping cabinet to marinate.

The meat slices had to be marinated before they could be battered and battered. There was no rush now. Jiang Yu went to the sink to wash his hands, took a dry towel to dry his hands, and went out to eat.

He had just eaten something to fill his stomach, and Jiang Yu was about to go back to the side dish room to continue working when Yan Tongtong suddenly ran in and said out of breath:
"Brother, there is an old man who wants to find you!"

"Old man?"

Jiang Yu paused. He didn't seem to know any old man in the past few years at school, right?
Could it be the teacher of one of your courses?

Thinking of this, he hurried to the door and asked as he walked, "Xiaoyan, did he tell you who he is?"

Jiang Yu walked a little fast, and Yan Tongtong trotted along behind him, stammering:

"Ah? He, he didn't seem to say, he just said that he has something important to do with you."

"It's okay, I'll know when I see him later."

He had known Yan Tongtong for a long time, so Jiang Yu knew that this girl tended to stutter when she was nervous, so she quickly comforted her.

After coming out of the kitchen, Jiang Yu glanced at the cafeteria hall through the window glass, and soon saw an old man in his sixties standing calmly in front of the window with his hands behind his back, with a very casual expression on his face. Looking around in the cafeteria.

This old man is not as dull and lifeless as some old people. He has a straight back, a flushed face, and a vigorous look. He looks in better condition than many young people.

Opening the door and walking out of the kitchen, Jiang Yu walked up to the old man in a few steps, sized him up carefully, and greeted with a smile:
"Hi old man, I heard that you have something to do with me?"

"You, are you the owner of this cafeteria?"

Naturally, this old man was none other than Jia Dequan, who wanted to join the ranks of "cookers".

When eating breakfast in the cafeteria, after he tasted the long-known soup dumpling from Qicantang, he was immediately shocked, and his heart became more determined to enter the kitchen of the cafeteria.

If I work with the cafeteria owner, won't I be able to eat more delicious dishes anytime and anywhere in the future?
Then my life in my later years is really so exciting that I want to fly!
Therefore, after breakfast, Jia Dequan did not leave, nor did he immediately go to the back kitchen to find the boss. He was also a chef, so he naturally knew that the kitchen was busy at this time, so how could he have time to take care of himself?

But he was not in a hurry, so he sat in the dining area and waited for a while.

After the breakfast time was over, Jia Dequan stood up slowly, went to the window to find Yan Tongtong, and asked her to help find the boss.

Now, he met the owner of the cafeteria, but what he never expected was, is this owner so young? !
It's just a look of bewilderment!
He is so young, how do he make such delicious dishes, such delicious soup dumplings?

Did he start learning to cook in the womb? !
Jiang Yu also saw Jia Dequan's surprised expression, but he didn't care. Most people who saw him for the first time had this expression, and he saw it a lot.

He nodded and said lightly: "Yes, I am the owner of this cafeteria."

"Then, you cook all the dishes in the cafeteria? So are the soup dumplings?"

"Some of the dishes in the cafeteria are made by me, and most of them are made by other colleagues, but the soup dumplings are indeed made by me."

Jiang Yu explained it patiently, and then said,
"Old man, if you really have something to do with me, you can talk about it now, if it's all right..."

With that said, he turned his head and glanced into the kitchen.

The meaning is obvious, if there is nothing wrong, then he will go back to the kitchen, where there are still a lot of things waiting for him to do!
"Something, really something!"

Jia Dequan is not stupid, of course he understood, he was not angry, took a deep breath, said with a smile,

"Boss Xiaojiang, I have eaten several meals in this cafeteria, and I have actually tasted most of the dishes. I think you still need a chef here."

"Old man, what do you want to say?"

"Look, there are more than a dozen dishes for each meal in the cafeteria, but the dishes made by other people are far inferior to the dishes made by you!"

Jia Dequan shook his head and continued,

"In fact, you should have discovered it yourself. Almost every meal, the dishes you cook are the fastest to sell out. Those students have no choice but to buy other people's dishes. Even so, sometimes There will be a lot of food left.

I think, you should find a chef who is as good as you, at least not too different. In this way, the taste of the dishes in your canteen will be greatly improved. Not only will the sales be better, but there will be no waste of too many dishes left ,What do you think? "

"The old man has a point."

Jiang Yu thought for a while and nodded.

In fact, he has considered this question a long time ago, but there is basically no solution. It is not so easy to hire a high-level chef. Not to mention whether others can't see a small place like the school cafeteria, even if they like it, they are willing to come. You can't even pay your wages.

Therefore, now he can only wait for Lu Shuwu and Qian Liwei's cooking skills to continue to improve and improve in their daily work, hoping that their cooking skills will get better and better, and the dishes they cook will become more and more delicious.

He looked at the old man seriously, smiled and said,
"But to solve this problem, at present, I don't have the ability, so I can only read it later."

"Why bother? Since I have asked the question, of course there is a solution to the problem!"

Jia Dequan laughed loudly, and said with a proud face,

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Jia, Jia Dequan. Boss Xiaojiang can just call me Lao Jia. You don't need to call me Lao Jia. I don't think I am old."

"Oh, yes, Lao Jia, what advice do you have for me?"

"There is no need to teach."

Jia Dequan waved his hand and said with a smile,

"Actually, I'm also an old chef. I've been busy in front of the stove for decades. I'm still a little knowledgable about cooking. If you don't mind, I can help you in the cafeteria."

"Ah this..."

Hearing that the other party said that he wanted to enter the cafeteria, Jiang Yu became a little embarrassed. This Jia Dequan was already at this age, let alone whether he was qualified for the heavy physical work of a chef, even if he was psychologically unable to pass this level.

"What? Do you think I'm too old to cook?"

When Jia Dequan saw Jiang Yu's expression, he knew what he was thinking. He couldn't help laughing, and walked into the kitchen.
"Go, go, if I don't show my hand today, I'm afraid you will still suspect that I'm here to cheat you!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yu hurriedly chased after him. While walking, he did not forget to defend:

"Hey, old Jia, I didn't say that!"

"This kitchen is nice, clean and hygienic, very nice!"

After entering the kitchen, Jia Dequan looked around, nodded with satisfaction, then looked back at Jiang Yu, and asked,

"Boss Xiaojiang, where is the side dish room?"

"This way, this way!"

Seeing that Jia Dequan was really planning to cook, Jiang Yu didn't stop him.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a dish, even if it is poorly prepared, it is no big deal.

After leading Jia Dequan to the side dish room, Jiang Yu suddenly caught a glimpse of Lu Shuwu winking at the side, as if there was something wrong.

He was a little puzzled, what the hell is this kid doing?

First, he looked back at Jia Dequan, who was walking around several fresh-keeping cabinets looking for ingredients. Seeing that he hadn't noticed his side, Jiang Yu walked towards Lu Shuwu and asked:
"what happened?"

"Hold the grass! Boss, where did you invite this great god?!"

Lu Shuwu looked surprised, looked over to the side dish room, and said excitedly in a low voice,

"This man, this man is Jia Dequan, the boss of E cuisine!"
