Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 243 Doupi and the customer who came alone for supper

After finishing a day's work, I went to a small shop on the pedestrian street and ate two large skewers of lamb and ordered two side dishes.
Or maybe a bowl of hot handmade noodles.
It always makes people feel comfortable.

Especially during midnight snack time, there aren't many people in the store.

It won't feel noisy.
You won’t feel lonely.

Even if you come here alone, it feels good.

"Boss, please don't close this store."

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

"If business in your store is slow, tell me online and I will definitely come to support your business."

Li Rui responded to the customer's enthusiasm with a smile:
"Thank you, I hope there won't be such a day."

"Haha, just kidding, boss."

The young customer in front of Li Rui doesn't come here often.

She said that although she liked Boss Li's craftsmanship, she hated queuing, so most of the time she could only watch.

Li Rui probably understood what she meant.

When I was selling braised meat at a stall before, it became very popular and attracted many customers from other places. They almost regarded the Xingfuli Vegetable Market as a tourist attraction.

Such a long line,

It will definitely put some people off.

However, the popularity on the Internet always dissipates quickly.

Just like the uncle who sold sweet water and the aunt who sold coffee, after the popularity passed, business quickly returned to normal.

Li Rui deeply agrees with this.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that he ran away after selling out before.

However, Li Rui has no control over these things.

All he could hold on to was the skewer in his hand.

“Do you want the roasted tofu skin spicy?”

"Yes, please make it a little spicier." replied the little girl Tan Wenwen.

Tofu skin, there are a lot of names,

Different places have different names for it.

But this also indirectly shows that this kind of soy product is very popular among people.

The finished tofu skin can be used for stir-frying, hot pot, and grilling, and there are many ways to cook it.

From the processing technology, it can be roughly divided into two types.

One is a thin film that is naturally formed on the surface of the soy milk when it is cooked. After being picked out, it is dried in the sun and formed into shape.

The surface is smoother.

Another method is to pour soy milk layer by layer on gauze and then use a heavy object to press out the water.

The traces left by the gauze mesh can be seen on the surface.

The roasted tofu skin in Li Rui’s shop is made with the first type.

Lighter and smoother.

After being dried in the sun, the bean curd skin loses a lot of moisture and cannot be directly put into the oven.

You need to soak it in broth first to replenish water.

After soaking, it is time to brush with oil and bake.

If you want to make the tofu skin taste good and look good, barbecue ingredients alone are not enough.

You also need to prepare a sauce and brush it evenly on both sides of the tofu skin.

Garlic chili sauce enhances the flavor.

A little honey, sweetness.

Add sesame paste to add flavor.

The three sauces are mixed together, and the roasted tofu skin is given a new life.

Tan Wenwen’s order of “a little spicier” also has its own requirements.

Three kinds of peppers form a classic combination that adds color, spiciness and aroma. The preparation is indeed a little troublesome, but it is absolutely guaranteed to be spicy and satisfying.

Not long after,

Two handfuls of tofu skin were roasted and handed over to the patiently waiting customers.

"Thank you, boss. This smells delicious."

Tan Wenwen happily took the roasted tofu skin and started eating it while it was hot.

The spiciness of the food in the store did not disappoint her. It made her sweat slightly in the cold winter, which was very refreshing.

The sweetness provided by white sugar and honey slightly alleviates the spiciness.

Faced with the combination of sweet, spicy and fresh flavor,
The original flavor of the beans and the roasted aroma can only give way slightly. There is only a vague aftertaste in the intervals between one string after another.

Why does sweet and spicy make people addicted?
Spiciness, as a kind of pain, will first cause irritation to the mouth through contact.

The sweet taste comes on a little later, which is just right to relieve the pain and burning.

But the sweetness doesn’t last long. After eating the roasted tofu skin, the spiciness still lingers at the root of the tongue.

It is this alternating feedback that
Make people want to stop.

Tan Wenwen quickly ate up two small skewers of bean curd.

She hissed,
While taking a sip of an iced drink.

The roasted tofu skin in the shop reminded her of some things in the past.

Tan Wenwen said to Li Rui:

"Boss, I feel like I'm back in elementary school, eating roasted tofu skin on the roadside."

Because of its low cost, roasted tofu skin once appeared in the streets and alleys next to every school and has become the childhood memory of a generation.

Five dollars a handful,

The price change is not big.

"Boss, why is the roasted tofu skin you make so delicious?"

Li Rui turned around.
"Well, let me recommend you a video account. It explains it very clearly. You can go back and learn from it. It won't go wrong."

Of course Tan Wenwen also paid attention to it, she is just an ordinary food lover.

"Boss, you always say it's not difficult, but I think it's really not that easy."

"So many people said that, I thought everyone was joking."

"it is true!"

There were many customers in the store who followed suit.

"How can you just make the food taste like what you eat in the store?"

"That's what we call specialization."

"Yes, everyone is good at different things. I guess Boss Li definitely won't drink beer while standing upside down."

"Fuck, brother, can you do it?"

"When I'm drunk, yes."

In addition to the delicious food in the store, people also like the atmosphere of the store.

I came here alone for a midnight snack.
Tan Wenwen certainly doesn't just hate queuing.

She looked up at her boss and said:

"I think that living an ordinary life is also seemingly simple, but in fact it is very difficult."

Suddenly, a customer said something profound.

Li Rui didn't know how to reply.

Looking at Tan Wenwen's mental state, Li Rui felt that she seemed to be showing some signs of depression.

If it is depression,

Ordinary people's comfort is usually ineffective and even annoying.

Statements such as "We are all the same" and "You are just free, just go out for a run or two" may make the patient even more miserable.

At this time, the best way is to seek help from a professional doctor.

So, Li Rui's last words to Tan Wenwen were,

It became——

"Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"what?"

Tan Wenwen's face was full of question marks.

"How did a midnight snack get involved with the hospital? Boss, you're talking weirdly, is this a new business promotion?"

Seeing her in this state,
Li Rui, on the other hand, was not too worried anymore.

He reminded customers:

“The store will launch limited-edition delicacies from time to time.”

"What do you have, boss? Tell me quickly, is there anything I like to eat?"

"This cannot be disclosed. It is a commercial secret. You can only know it after you come here."

Tan Wenwen had finished her midnight snack and was about to scan the code to pay. "Boss, you really know how to whet my appetite. Can't I come?"

"Then you are welcome to come next time."
