Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 207: The Stay or Departure of Shop Assistant Xiao Ma

Li Rui and two shop assistants pickled the sauerkraut and it was already afternoon when they finished.

Working from early morning till night is a bit too much.

The shop decided to take a day off in the evening.

A sign saying "Closed tonight, continuing with breakfast tomorrow" has been left outside the store.

The business information was also updated on the online account, and Li Rui also posted a video of pickling sauerkraut.

"If you make it at home, you can use a plastic bucket or a small jar instead if you don't have a large vat."

"When sealing, use plastic film. Plastic is elastic. The gas produced during the fermentation process can deform the plastic and prevent the tank from bursting. If conditions permit, you can also install a one-way air valve."

"1g of salt for 5 jin of cabbage, and a little less liquor will do, 10 ml, about two bottle caps."

"Adding an appropriate amount of alcohol to freshly sauerkraut can inhibit the growth of bacteria on the surface of the sauerkraut and increase the growth activity of lactic acid bacteria."

"Be sure not to leave oil in the container. The temperature is low in winter, so more than 30 days is best."

"Pickling sauerkraut is a process of letting microorganisms work well. If we provide them with a good working environment, they will repay us with delicious food."

Pickling sauerkraut with cabbage as the raw material is a traditional delicacy made by every household in some northern regions during the autumn and winter seasons.

In addition to eating, it is also a ritual for entering winter.

But many young people today no longer know how to cook these home-cooked dishes of the older generation.

Some old flavors can only emerge in the mind.

"Ah, when I was a kid, my grandma also pickled sauerkraut in this way."

"Such a familiar big vat, such a familiar big stone."

"Eh? [Screenshot] This stone is so beautiful, where did Boss Li pick it up?"

Some friends who have never tried it are curious about the taste of sauerkraut:

"Is pickled cabbage delicious? I've only eaten pickled mustard greens."
-
"My family likes to stew pork ribs with sauerkraut, which is refreshing and appetizing."
-
“Pack something delicious.”
-
"If you don't pickle it well, the taste may change every year. After watching the video, I realized that the growth environment of the fungi is very important."

As for the detailed tutorial shared by Li Rui, netizens were very direct:
"Boss Li, just tell me how many days it will take to get it."

Li Rui returned home.
Enjoy the rare leisure time.

He thinks he can be more relaxed about running a small shop because he doesn't have the burden of rent.

But it's still been quite busy these days.

Li Rui grabbed a game cartridge and suddenly realized that he had not yet finished the game he had just bought, but he was a little uninterested.

After people have earned some material income from work, they often let the computer or game console they have long dreamed of gather dust.

Li Rui felt that he was also suffering from some kind of illness.

Early the next morning.

New hidden achievement achieved, [Food Exploration]

The reward turned out to be a "travel expense".

Tongzi has always been very considerate, and Li Rui immediately understood what he meant.

This encourages me to go to other cities to look for delicious food.

In Jianghai City, since I also run a restaurant, it is inevitable that there will be some trouble when I go to other restaurants of the same kind.

You can avoid many problems by going to other cities.

Moreover, China is so large that the food is very rich.

People's dietary preferences vary greatly in different natural environments, so going out for a walk is a good opportunity to learn about them.

There is no need to keep the store open and busy during the winter.

In addition, Xiaodong also gave a seasonal recipe - dumplings.

The accompanying fillings include cabbage meat, clam meat, three fresh meats and many more.

In the north, dumplings are eaten during the Beginning of Winter, the Spring Festival, and almost any festival or solar term you can think of.

So Xiaodong gives the recipe of dumplings on any given day,

Li Rui would not be surprised.

Since he had made wontons before, Li Rui took a quick look at the recipe and found that dumplings and wontons were not much different.

There are only slight differences in the dough and fillings, which can enrich the variety of staple foods for the store.

Dumplings can be made by hand, frozen in the refrigerator, and cooked whenever you want to eat them. It is very convenient.

The recipes provided by the system are more detailed.

You can make some dumplings today.

Arriving at the shop in Fangda Plaza, Li Rui began to prepare for today's breakfast.

Comrade Majingo looked a little absent-minded.

Li Rui asked about the employees' situation.

"Didn't you get enough rest last night? Are you too tired these days?"

"This is nothing compared to some strength." Xiao Ma shook his head and continued:

"My dad said he wanted to come see me. It felt like he wanted to take me home."

Majengo's words were somewhat heavy.

In Li Rui's eyes, Ma Jinge is the number one clerk in the store.

He works hard and often brings some fun to the store. Although he eats a lot, he is a very qualified clerk.

But this girl graduated from a prestigious university after all and was once an athlete. Although she was a bit reckless, it is indeed a bit unreasonable for her to work as a waitress in a restaurant.

Perhaps her family is also planning for her future.

Taking this into consideration, Li Rui felt that he also needed to let go and let Xiao Ma find his own career in society.

He patted the clerk on the shoulder.

"The store is always here, you can come back whenever you want."

When Xiao Han heard that Ma Jinge's father was going to take her away, he looked at Sister Ma meaningfully and raised his head:
"Then let's go far away, and travel to the distant sky~"

Every boy must not miss the climax stage, and Li Rui also whispered in agreement.

The three men had just met and it seemed they were about to part ways. The men were saying goodbye in the way they were least good at.

Xiao Ma felt a little embarrassed by the two of them.

She frowned and said:

"But, but I feel very happy working here."

"Ahem, then do your best."

At the same time, on an ordinary express train bound for Jianghai City.

Comrade Lao Ma shook his cell phone, annoyed because the signal in the car was too bad.

The light from the mobile phone screen flashed across the dim sleeper compartment, and the picture began to jump again.

Old Ma was wearing headphones, pursed his lips, and muttered softly:

"This fried chicken is really good. Oh, and there are braised pig's trotters as well."

Then he found the photos his daughter had posted on WeChat Moments and compared them with the video.

Old Ma was thinking:

Should I ask my daughter what she’s having for lunch at work today?

It would be best if I could have a free meal.

Otherwise, forget it.

I am just an employee's family member. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to eat for free?

Yes, yes, that’s not appropriate. It’s too abrupt.

So in the end, Lao Ma just sent this message to his daughter:

"Daughter, please send me the exact location of your store and I will come directly to you."

Inside the small shop,
Ma Jinge took out his cell phone and handed the message from his father to Li Rui and Xiao Han.

"Look, he can come here at noon today, and he will come directly to the store."
