Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 244 Fried kelp and the ingredients brought by Brother Long
At midnight, customers place fewer orders.

Comrade Majingo came into the kitchen.

She looked at the boss, then at the kelp soaking in the basin.

She used her eyes to remind Li Rui of a small favor she had promised her before.

Of course, Li Rui did not forget the hard work of the clerk.

"Don't look at it, I'll make one for you right away."

"Hey, good job, boss."

The fried kelp side dish comes from seafood-flavored pancakes.

When Ma Jinge first came to the store, he had this kind of employee meal.

Although it looks strange,

But the taste made her unforgettable for a long time.

Especially the kelp inside. After being coated with batter and fried, it has a crispy outer shell and chewy kelp inside, which tastes better than meat.

Fried kelp is not complicated to make alone.

It’s just that the time when fresh kelp goes on the market has passed, and what you can buy now is dried kelp.

You have to dry steam it for twenty minutes and then soak it in warm water.

Let the soaked kelp absorb water again.

From something that looked like a big fungus at the beginning, it turned back into a long emerald green strip.

After cutting it into a long piece narrower than a mobile phone,
Add a small amount of salt, sugar, MSG and pepper to marinate.

Kelp is made by soaking dried food, so it is very fresh and a bit salty, so there is no need to add too much seasoning.

Batter for deep-fried kelp,

In addition to starch flour, you also need to beat in an egg.

Make the batter more viscous and add a little egg aroma to the crispy shell.

The combination of land and sea makes fried kelp even more delicious.

After wrapping,

Raise the oil temperature to 60% and start frying.

When the kelp is shaped and the surface is slightly yellow, take it out, then slightly increase the oil temperature and fry it again.

Wait until the surface looks golden brown before serving.

The process of coating with batter and frying not only makes the food taste rich.

And it is safer when frying.

Seaweed contains a lot of water.

If you fry it directly without coating it with batter, it will explode very easily.

Fried kelp,
You can season it according to your personal taste.

Xiao Ma took a small plate and poured some homemade pepper and salt from the shop.

Then, he sat down at the table like other customers in the store.

When there are fewer people, the boss and the shop assistants will come down and sit with the customers in person.

And the people sitting next to Ma Jinge today happened to be Brother Long and Xia Mingming who had been here a while ago.

Zhao Zhenlong brought his own sausages and asked the boss to grill them.

At this time, I was eating with gusto.

Xia Mingming became very restrained after seeing Xiao Ma sitting over.

He hesitated for a long time before speaking:
"Sister Xiao Ma, what are you eating? It looks delicious."

"Here, let me give you a taste."

Xiao Ma reached out and picked up a piece of fried kelp carelessly, dipped it in a little pepper and salt, and then put it on Xia Mingming's plate.

"Thank you, sister."

Fried kelp, light from the surface,
I can't tell what's inside.

The crispy golden shell and long strip shape look like a small fried fish and smell very appetizing.

Xia Mingming also used his hands to pick up the fried kelp and gently put it into his mouth.

Then there was a "click" sound.

This is the sound of the crispy shell being bitten by front teeth.

The tiny particles also splashed onto Xia Mingming's tongue.

It’s the standard level of fried food in small shops.

Familiar customers are no strangers.

Beneath this crispy shell, there is a hidden world of kelp.

Xia Mingming tasted it quickly.

"Oh, there's kelp inside!" Compared to the crispy shell, the kelp is softer and more elastic. It tastes just like the sea.

A sharp contrast in taste.

Make fried kelp more interesting to eat.

The salty and slightly numbing taste of the pepper and salt stays at the root of the tongue and continues to exert its effect.

Xia Mingming praised:

"This fried kelp is really delicious. I've never eaten it before."

"Of course." The pony kept showing off and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

At this moment,
Xia Mingming pointed to his neck and said, "Oh, Sister Ma, look here."

Xiao Ma looked up and frowned slightly.

"You have chapped skin. You should scrub your body."

"Hey, no, I washed off the tattoo."

"Ah, it's true, your shrimp thread is gone!"

Xiao Ma seemed to have discovered a new world and called Li Rui and Xiao Han to come and see.

"Look, boss, he washed off the tattoo."

“It’s not noticeable at all now.”

Li Rui felt that although Xia Mingming's neck had no shrimp thread, it now looked like a boiled prawn.

Seeing this scene, Brother Long also smiled at Li Rui.
He seemed very satisfied with Xia Mingming's recent changes.

Xia Mingming quickly changed the subject:
"Ahem, Sister Xiaoma, Brother Long recently asked me to take the adult college entrance examination. What's your academic qualification? Why don't we sign up together? In today's society, diplomas are quite useful."

Xia Mingming felt that the waiters in the hotel should not be much different from him.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Ma Jinge.

But Xiao Ma's answer surprised Xia Mingming.

"Me? I have a bachelor's degree."

"Ah? Did you go to college?"

“It’s still a double first-class university.”

“What is Double First-Class?”

"I can't explain it to you right away."

In fact, Ma Jinge himself was also confused.

Compared to the little brother Shrimp Line, she was more curious about the gossip between Brother Long and Sister Taozi.

So he looked past Xia Mingming.

Asked Zhao Zhenlong:

"Brother Long, how did Sister Taozi resolve her issue? Did you help her with the lawsuit?"

"Well, it went smoothly. We agreed to divorce. That guy still owed a lot of foreign debts and he was already her ex-husband, so I gave Tao Jing a discount on the litigation fees."

What he said was no different from what Sister Taozi said.

Xiao Ma suddenly noticed the grilled sausage in Zhao Zhenlong's hand. She remembered that Tao Jing brought a pot of meat stuffing to the store and she helped to stuff it.

"Where did you get this sausage?"

"Ahem, Tao, Tao Jing sent it to me."

Now it's Brother Long's turn to have a red neck.

There must be a story behind this, and Xiao Ma's gossipy heart was satisfied.

"Then why do you like sausage so much?"

Speaking of this, Brother Long sighed deeply.

Sausage,
To say that it is so delicious and unforgettable is definitely an exaggeration.

As a winter delicacy,
The older generation, in every household, would make some themselves in the winter.

Each restaurant has its own unique seasoning.

But the more ordinary the food is, the more memorable it becomes once it is connected with a person or a story.

Behind these foods are many complicated pasts.

Zhao Zhenlong still remembers the yard full of sausages that were dried at home after his mother passed away.

There was also a note from my mother:
"Xiaolong, the sausages were dried on December 12rd."

"Remember to eat it after steaming it."

"30 minutes after SAIC."

After Brother Long finished telling the story, his eyes were slightly red.

"At that time, I should have gone back more often to visit."
