Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 150 The little thoughts of the diners, Boss Li will never let people down

In Jianghai City, at the end of October, you have to wear a thick coat and autumn johns when riding an electric bike.

The small restaurant is not far from Li Rui's home.

About five kilometers.

This is the unrivaled distance range for electric vehicle travel.

Driving around the city.

Sometimes it's not as convenient as expected.

Traffic jams are one thing.

The difficulty in parking is the main reason.

The road here at the small bungalow restaurant is quite narrow.

Many customers come earlier than the chef.

"Here you are, Boss Li."

"Boss Li, you came to work earlier today than yesterday."

“Anything new today?”

Li Rui responded to the enthusiastic customers and friends.

"Morning, everyone."

"Today's new dish is half-fried and boiled catfish."

The table of customers at the front of the queue immediately showed interest and said, "We want to try this, plus a plate of catfish."

Sister Wang Ying took notes quickly and then handed a small stack of menus to Li Rui.

"come on!"

Li Rui took it with a smile and came to his work station.

Just like the previous few days, he had sent the necessary ingredients to Sister Wang Ying in advance.

So as soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw the helping aunt cleaning the catfish.

This fish is named sea catfish because it has a layer of mucus on its surface and looks slippery like a catfish, and it comes from the sea.

The catfish sold in small restaurants does not actually belong to the order Siluriformes.

Its scientific name is the Lacerta goby. It has no stingers and can be handled without wearing gloves.

And the taste is not fishy, ​​and the semi-frying method is very suitable.

The names of fish vary from place to place.

In different regions, the name catfish may include a variety of fish.

The sea catfish in autumn is very plump.

I was luckier this time.
You Dahai actually provided the restaurant with catfish that had just been caught from the sea.

Rub the mucus off the surface of the catfish with salt, remove the internal organs, clean it, and cut it into small pieces.

You can start making it.

Heat oil in a pan and put the catfish pieces into the pan.

The pot made a sizzling sound and the aroma of fried fish wafted out of the pot.

The fish skin and the fat under the skin, under the action of hot oil, emit a unique and delicious aroma, which is very tempting.

Fish pieces from different parts will curl slightly into different shapes under high temperatures.

No need to flip over.
After frying until color starts to form, add water.

Place the preserved radish, shredded ginger, shredded celery, and shredded red pepper on top of the fish.

Then simply season it with just the right amount of fish sauce and a little rice wine.

Cover the pot and simmer for three minutes.

Drizzle with oil before serving.

"Auntie, table three has half-fried and boiled catfish."

Helping auntie to cook the dishes is also very fresh.

Most of the dishes served in the restaurant in the past few days were stir-fried, deep-fried, or cooked with sauces, and various heavy-flavor seasonings and cooking methods.

The dishes in front of me are of very good quality.

The fish is light in color, adorned with several side dishes of varying colors.

The light yellow soup is rich.

Smells very delicious.

Auntie brought out the sea catfish.

At this time, the first table of customers were chatting while eating cold dishes.

Brother Liu, who is good at livening up the atmosphere, manages the waiting time for the food very well.

From time to time, he made the little girl at the table laugh.

"Brother Liu, you are so interesting."

"Tell me more about how you dealt with your community property management last time."

Several people were listening attentively to Brother Liu's jokes.

Shen Hao at the table was a little envious. He also wanted to be the focus of the girl's attention.

He was the one who called everyone to come for dinner.

However, the person Shen Hao wanted to date the most was actually that little girl.

But now it seems that the purpose has gone astray.

This Liu brother is so talkative, but he seems to be a bit immature. He can't get a word in at all.

But once the food is served,

Several people's attention was immediately attracted to the half-fried catfish.

"Wow, this smells so good."

“This fish is well cooked.”

"Try it quickly and stop talking," Xiao Shen said.

He wanted to remind everyone.

But before he could finish his words, he found that Brother Liu had already started eating.

This chopstick, that chopstick.

Among the people at the table, only Shen Hao wanted to say something.

Shen Hao tilted his head, he felt as if he was the only one who had missed the point.

Then he also picked up the fish and tasted it.

The fish is not turned over during the half-frying process, so the characteristic of the fish is that it has two flavors.

The top layer is very tender fish meat.

It is only stewed in soup and is extremely smooth and tender.

And the bottom side,
After frying, it tastes dry and fragrant.

Very rich taste.

This dish has only simple seasoning, and unlike the braised method, it tastes just like the freshness of the fish.

The fish that were still swimming in the sea in the middle of the night were served on people’s tables in just half a day.

Naturally it is very good.

But in addition to the taste of the fish itself, the effects of several ingredients are also very obvious.

Celery and red pepper shreds add a touch of fragrance.

Dried radish contains a lot of amino acids, which makes the dish more delicious.

The rest of the signature dishes were served one by one while everyone was enjoying their meals.

Shen Hao also said:
"How about it, this little restaurant is worth a visit, right?"

The little girl nodded repeatedly: "Shen Hao you are amazing, how did you find this treasure house?"

Shen Hao took out his phone and said, "The chef here has a video account. I'll share it with you. I'll add you."

"Uh-huh."

Brother Liu, who had been talking nonstop just now, finally saw something and praised:
"Xiao Haozi has good taste and vision."

The small restaurant business is booming.

Those who are hesitant are still watching.

"There are so many people queuing up. I heard it looks pretty good."

"I saw 'Xiao Girl's' videos online and she recommended them."

But regular customers who know Boss Li are already in the queue.

A customer lamented:
"The delicious food that Boss Li makes means one less meal to eat."

The middle-aged man with a messy hairdo responded to his companion:

"All the meals in the world are one less meal a day, but his cooking skills are really good."

Although there were many people queuing, the customers were of high quality and very orderly.

Some people line up in groups and enter the store together.

Some sent representatives to take turns queuing up, and then called their friends to join them.

Sister Wang Ying serves customers skillfully.

From time to time, he asked the number of customers.

Then arrange seats according to the number of guests.

The restaurant is small.
A normal table has four seats, and including the aisle, it can accommodate up to five people.

The private rooms are bigger, but you often have to wait.

The tables placed outdoors outside the store are even more luxurious and can fill a circle.

At this time, a girl also came to the front of the line.

Wang Ying asked:

“Take away or eat here?”

“Eat in the store.”

Wang Ying asked again: "How many people are you with?"

The girl held up a finger.

Wang Ying: "You came alone?"

Given the current popularity of the small restaurant, it would be difficult to entertain a customer who came alone. "If you want to eat in the restaurant, can you share a table with others?"

The girl smiled and added:

"I wasn't the one lining up just now."

"Sister, we're at table number one, the big table."
