Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

a few days later.

The mission came to the seventh day.

These days, when he was setting up a stall, Qi Yan would definitely show up, and then follow him to the hotel to hang out. Today was no exception, Qi Yan came over and ordered a bowl of [Yangchun noodles], and after eating, she and Wu Jianfei helped Du Shaojie.

When Du Shaojie finished making the last portion of noodles and handed it to the customer, he suddenly felt empty in his heart.

The experience of setting up a stall by pushing a food cart brought him a different experience, and it was actually quite happy.

"Everyone has been taking good care of my business these days, thank you! However, I will not be here starting tomorrow, so please tell your classmates when you go back and see them again."

Because it was not a fixed shop, Du Shaojie could not post a notice to tell everyone about it.

He spoke out loudly while there were still many people eating noodles.

"Boss, why don't you do it now?"

"No, I want to eat homemade [Yangchun noodles] every day. What should I do if you don't come?"

"Boss, are you going to open a store? Tell me the address and I will definitely go to support you."

"Boss, please leave me your mailing address. I want to write to you to discuss cooking."

The scene was in an uproar, with people saying all kinds of things, but to sum it up, they were reluctant to let Du Shaojie go.

Qi Yan was rarely jealous, even though several girls tried to get in touch with Du Shaojie in roundabout ways.

At this moment, the [Yangchun Noodles] made by Du Shaojie was recognized by everyone. They missed him because he was delicious, and they were reluctant to see him go because they missed him.

On the way back to the hotel, Du Shaojie, Qi Yan and Wu Jianfei didn't speak.

However, this emotion came and went quickly, and when he returned to the room, he was grinning from ear to ear.

These days, Du Shaojie not only completed his tasks smoothly, but also gained good results.

But he didn't care about that at the moment, and directly received the authentic method of [Jiangnan Baihua Chicken]. Closing his eyes, the entire production process flowed in his mind, and every detail was clear.

But now was not the time to study this dish. He and Qi Yan laughed and played in the house for a while, then sent each other back to school.

Time flies.

The two courtyards used as residences have been basically completed and are currently being finalized.

The storefront is almost finished, and the corresponding equipment for the back kitchen is being installed in the next two days. Both sides will accept and deliver it within half a month.

During this period, Du Shaojie did not set up a stall near the Normal University.

Apart from taking half a day every day to be a supervisor, he spent most of the rest of his time on [Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken].

This dish is extremely difficult to make. He has already spent 5000 hours in simulation scenarios, but still cannot achieve perfection.

However, he has no plans to spend any money for the time being. After all, the process of overcoming difficulties is also a process of learning and improvement. It doesn't matter if it's slow. He actually enjoys it.

[Jiangnan Baihua Chicken] It is said to be a chicken dish, but in fact it is just covered with a piece of chicken skin.

First, the skin and head of the whole chicken must be removed completely, and then filled with shrimp dumplings.

What is shrimp paste? It is made by removing the shrimp heads and shells, picking out the shrimp threads, chopping them with the back of a knife, adding salt and mixing them well, and pounding them continuously until they become gluey. During the pounding process, the shrimp paste changes its shape in many ways, resembling a blooming flower, so it is called Baihua.

This is also the origin of the name of this dish.

Du Shaojie is now a special second-level chef. It is difficult for him to improve his cooking skills with ordinary dishes. He must have his own unique skills.

That’s why he is patient and keeps honing this dish in the hope of gaining more in the process.

morning.

Du Shaojie ate tofu pudding and fried dough sticks outside, and then went to the construction site for a walk.

"Boss Du, are you here to clock in again? Don't worry, we will make sure the work is completed on time."

He first came to the storefront, and the foreman came up to him and joked with him.

In short, the more concerned the owner is, the more seriously they will work.

Not to mention anything else, even though he is young, he bought a storefront and two yards right away. Who would look for trouble?
"I'm just here to take a look around. You guys go about your business and don't bother with me."

Du Shaojie was already familiar with everyone and spoke casually. After walking around, he went to the two courtyards to take a look, and then went to the hotel restaurant.

"Master Du, you're here? What dish are you going to demonstrate to us today?"

Wu Jianfei came over with a nod and a bow. This guy was very humble and treated Du Shaojie more kindly than his parents.

It was a bit shameless, but he didn't care, after all, he got the most benefit from Du Shaojie. Du Shaojie didn't dislike him, and would give him some advice from time to time, which greatly improved his cooking skills.

"Do you have any whole chickens or freshly-frozen shrimps? If so, I'll show you how to make them today."

Du Shaojie was itching to try his hand at making Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken in real life.

Previously, he had performed the operations in simulated scenarios, and he felt that he had practiced them enough, so he said this.

At this time, Yue Qing happened to walk over and heard what he said.

"We have whole chicken and fresh shrimp. Chef Du, what are you going to cook?"

"I'm in good shape today, so I'll make a dish called [Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken]."

Du Shaojie answered calmly and then glanced at Yue Qing.

Yue Qing was indeed stunned. Although he couldn't cook it himself, he had heard of this almost lost dish.

It was a difficult dish! He immediately became interested and asked Wu Jianfei to prepare the ingredients.

Du Shaojie changed his clothes and then started to cook it slowly. This dish requires slow work and careful preparation. It is difficult to cook it quickly. Just peeling the chicken skin takes a lot of time.

"Tsk tsk, look at Chef Du's technique, it's amazing."

The chicken skin and the chicken head were spread out on the tray, and they were extremely intact without any flaws.

Du Shaojie then started to beat the shrimp paste. The fresh frozen shrimp had already been processed, and Yue Qing did it himself.

Whenever there is some time in the kitchen, the chefs will stand behind him and observe. If they were not afraid of delaying lunch time, I'm afraid no one would be an exception.

The shrimp paste is ready and the seasoning is also done.

Stuff the chicken skin with shrimp paste, place on a plate, and steam over high heat for 6 minutes. After steaming, cut into eight sections horizontally and vertically, and place on a plate again to form the shape of a whole chicken.

The next step is to prepare the sauce and pour it on the surface of the dish after it is cooked.

You can place tuberose flowers around the plate and then serve the dish.

However, since there was no advance preparation, the hotel restaurant did not have ready-made tuberose flowers, but it didn’t matter as it did not affect the taste of the dish.

“Please taste it and give your opinions.”

Du Shaojie made a gesture to invite everyone in, but the scene became silent.

Because the dish was so beautiful, no one wanted to ruin its beauty. In the end, Yue Qing took the lead in tasting a piece, and then the others started to eat.

Du Shaojie also ate a piece himself. It was refreshing, smooth and not greasy, and tasted great.

"Master Du, I am so impressed by your cooking skills. I can't give you any suggestions for this dish. Thank you for your demonstration, which allowed us to see your unique skills."

After eating a piece, Yue Qing savored it for a long time.

As far as this dish is concerned, he is not even qualified to comment, he can only admire it.

"That's all for today. I'm a little busy lately, so I won't come over. We can talk again when we have the chance."

Du Shaojie smiled slightly, patted Wu Jianfei on the shoulder, and turned and left.

He no longer owed Yue Qing and the others anything. He had his own things to do, and it was time to stop communicating with them.

To be honest, Wu Jianfei is the only one with relatively high savvy in the entire hotel restaurant. I hope this guy can go further.

Half a month later.

The main construction and decoration projects were all completed successfully, and the house and storefront were delivered to Du Shaojie.

After the two courtyards were connected, they became a whole. The decoration is not luxurious, but full of antique flavor.

Qi Yan accompanied him to buy some old-fashioned furniture, which was mainly made of mahogany and didn't cost much. Du Shaojie didn't fancy the investment properties of these furniture, he didn't really understand them, but mainly wanted to unify the style.

Then he equipped the house with all kinds of daily necessities and household appliances, and picked a good day to move in.

Yan Dabao brought three people to Beijing a few days ago. Du Shaojie rented a house for them near the store and is currently making preparations before the opening.

"Boss, all the supplies needed for the restaurant are already in place, and the staff are basically in place as well."

Du Shaojie is mainly responsible for recruiting people. After all, Yan Dabao and his four companions cannot run a restaurant.

In addition to Yan Dabao in charge of the kitchen, the restaurant manager Yu Jianxin has already set off from Xijiang and will arrive in the next two days. In addition, a Sichuan chef was hired locally. The chef's level is not high, only a first-level chef, but he definitely has the ability of a special third-level chef.

Yu Jianxin asked to come here on his own initiative. He was more enterprising than Dong Jun and said that he would bring his wife over once he had established himself here.

He is already a first-class chef, and after studying traditional Sichuan cuisine for two years under Yan Dabao, he has great hope of becoming a third-class chef.

"Now that we have everything ready, we will open next week."

Du Shaojie selected an auspicious day and the Beijing branch of Xichuan Restaurant officially opened.

On the opening day, Yue Qing and others also came, and some other people who needed regular dealings were also invited.

The restaurant was packed with guests, Yan Dabao and Yu Jianxin were overjoyed, and both felt that this was a good start. (End of this chapter)
