Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 242: No Technology, Just Hard Work

Customers who come to the shop to eat always find a lot in common with each other.

Same favorite flavor.

Idols I like as well.

Or, the configuration of members who come to eat together.

Yin Hua’s mother discovered that the people eating at the table behind were also children who came with their parents.

And that child, it sounds like, is also a single girl.

What is even more "coincidental" is that
When the two families finished their meal and went downstairs, they bumped into each other.

The stairs can be used for going up and down the stairs, and people can only walk in two files.

Yin Hua's mother walked to the position right behind the mother opposite.

She casually chatted:

"Hey, sis, I see your table also ordered some croquettes."

"We ordered half portions. This shop makes great fried food."

"Ah, then we came from the same pot."

"It's fate. This little boss used to sell snacks in our old community. Our girl likes the fried cakes he makes."

"Oh, my son too, he said he really likes the food cooked here."

"What else did you order?"

The two mothers chatted more and more, and when they were waiting in line to pay,
They also began to confide in each other.

"Our son only knows how to eat and drink all day long. He's 30 years old and still doesn't have a girlfriend."

"Boy, it's not too late to get married at 30."

"You girls?"

"Don't mention it. You said you don't want to get married. It makes me so worried."

Many parents still regard their children’s marriage as their life mission.

It seems that life is incomplete without marriage.

Yin Hua didn't understand.

Wang Yan didn't understand either.

The two mothers added each other on WeChat, which caused Yin Hua and Wang Yan to look at each other inadvertently, which was a bit awkward.

Love and marriage are not a joke.
A long-term plan is needed.

Just like the beef balls that are sold out immediately every time they are put on display in the store.

After five thousand times of manual hammering,
Only then will it have the quality of being chewy and elastic.

The difference in taste between handmade and machine-made may require people who have actually tasted them to be able to tell the difference.

Make beef balls delicious,

The most important point is fresh beef.

From the time the bull died to the time it was smashed into pulp,
No more than six hours.

Even Lao Jin couldn't guarantee that he could get such suitable beef for Li Rui every day.

This is also the reason why beef balls are so popular.

After the beef arrives at the store, Li Rui and the staff will put down their current work and speed up the processing.

The hind leg muscles are firm.
It is a very suitable part for making beef balls.

But you also need to remove the fat and fascia between the beef first.

The task of pounding the meat into paste was, of course, given to Comrade Ma Jinge in the store.

"Xiao Ma, let me teach you first."

No need to jump on the bamboo pole,
Xiao Ma said he felt no pressure at all.

She held a 304 stainless steel octagonal stick in each hand, with a rubber handle at the end, which made it easier to operate with gloves.

When beating, his eyes were determined and his arms were vigorous.

Ordinary people can't get close to it.

Xiao Ma always learns quickly when it comes to professional work like beating meat.

She is extremely talented in this area.
Li Rui had to admit defeat.

Especially when the beef has just been delivered, the muscles are warm and even moving, making it easier for the pony to handle.

Looking at Comrade Ma Jinge who was getting into the state,
Li Rui thinks that

If the twin ponytails hidden in the wig were revealed, she would look very much like Lu Bu, a character in the game.

"Lü Bu used the Fang Tian Hua Ji, boss."

Comrade Xiao Han expressed some different opinions while cutting the meat.

After he said that, Li Rui also felt that it was inappropriate.

"Then, Li Yuanba?"

The young man nodded and said, "Li Yuanba used a hammer." Xiao Ma seemed to have heard their conversation and stopped the two iron rods.

"Boss, what are you talking about?"

"I'll give you a snack tonight."

"Then I want to eat fried kelp."

"no problem."

The pounded beef forms a meat paste with some stickiness.

Now it is Li Rui's turn to play, and contestant Ma Jinge can go to the side to rest.

Compared to the process of beating meat paste,

The seasoning of beef balls is not complicated.

First add some ice water to cool the meat paste.

Then add the fried garlic crisps, which is a must-have seasoning.
And salt and MSG to add flavor.

In addition, you need to add an appropriate amount of butter to make the meatballs more juicy.

Li Rui put on gloves and started stirring the meat paste.

This step also tests your technique.

Knead first, then rub.
Then there were the beatings and slaps.
The process of mixing the seasonings evenly will eventually allow the meat paste to gel successfully.

Not as visually striking as hammering, but still a physical job.

As the meat paste is beaten harder and harder, it becomes more and more sticky, and you need to use more strength with your arms.

Squeeze the meat into meatballs.
You can cook it directly and eat it.

The cooked beef balls, originally fresh red in color, turned gray and dark.

The aroma of the meat will become stronger as it cooks.

If you have tasted it, just looking at it will produce rich associations that will make you drool.

Bite into the chewy beef balls.

There is rich juice inside.

After sucking out the initial juice, the beef balls still become more delicious the more you chew them.

It is said that beef balls can also be used to play table tennis.

Li Rui has never tried this.

But when he served the meatballs, he would deliberately use an iron basin.

Then release a few beef balls in mid-air and listen to the "ding-dong" sound.

The toughness of the beef balls,
Anyway, it is difficult to break it with chopsticks.

It takes some strength to break it with your bare hands.

You have to bite it with your teeth to appreciate its beauty. The chewiness and elasticity are the greatest comfort that beef balls bring to your mouth.

In terms of eating methods, beef balls are very adaptable.

It can be eaten in hotpot or cooked in spicy hotpot, and some people even let the boss live with the noodles.

A bowl of beef soup alone is also good.

Use seaweed as the base, sprinkle some coriander on it, and then serve with a dish of hot sauce and shacha sauce.

In winter, it's warm enough.

However, since the ingredients are not easy to obtain, being able to eat them is an important prerequisite.

Every time the beef balls come out,
Many customers bought it.

"Oh my god, hand-made beef balls. I got to catch one today. I'm lucky. I have to have one."

"Isn't this the same style as the one used in the TV series?"

"I came here several times before, but the boss always said there was no suitable beef."

The sign that the shop uses for its beef balls is just as simple: just the words "Handmade Beef Balls."

This made some customers who didn't get to eat it,

Sometimes I get curious:

"Is it really typed by hand? What's the difference between it and a machine?"

"Originally, beef balls were all made by hand. Machines can't make that texture."

"Don't worry, even though it's handmade, the store is very hygienic."

At this point,
Wang Aiquan, who sometimes comes to visit, has a lot to say.

He had seen several times the shop assistant sitting there pounding the beef.

“Authentic, handmade beef balls.”

"There's no technology, it's all hard work by little girls."
