Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 260 Love is not a warm dinner party

Comrade Ma Jinge believes that
It is okay to arrange employee meals, but they must be arranged after physical training.

So he brought Lu Jia to the training location.

Li Rui and Xiao Han were already dressed and waiting for the coach to come.

They greeted Lu Jia.

Xiao Ma led everyone to warm up together.

At this time, Lu Jia held up the sneakers Xiao Ma gave her and asked:
"Jin Ge, should I run too?"

Xiao Ma put his hands on his hips and put on black-framed glasses while speaking.

"Call me coach, and follow them."

"Dudu~~"

Lu Jia didn’t usually exercise, so he ran for two kilometers and then started strolling.

The owner and employees of the shop left her behind.

Looking at their backs, Lu Jia seemed to understand something.

"No wonder business is so good, day after day, full of energy."

"I have to work harder, too."

She also chased after him.

After the training, it is time for lunch.

Li Rui is actually very familiar with this journalist friend, as she has followed and reported on the delicious food she cooks several times.

Later, he became a regular customer of the shop.

Lu Jia is often seen coming over.

I didn't expect to become good friends with Xiao Ma.

In this way, Lu Jia is no longer a customer, but a visitor.

Xiao Ma actually sent him a message in the morning, and Li Rui and Xiao Han had already prepared some things in advance.

He said to Lu Jia: "Would you like to have a simple staff meal with us at noon?"

Lu Jia was very happy because she knew that the boss's craftsmanship was never simple.

"Thank you, Boss Li."

Then Li Rui took Xiao Han to work in the kitchen.

The same ingredient, processed in different ways, will have different tastes.

Li Rui and Xiao Han just tried the beef tenderloin with king oyster mushroom today.

The beef in this dish has a slightly charred surface and a dry and fragrant taste.

This time he plans to order another dish, the oyster sauce beef, which has a more tender texture.

In the World's No. 1 Chef Competition, there are competition items with limited ingredients. Through today's two dishes, you can experience the difference between different cooking methods.

The main ingredient of oyster sauce beef is beef tenderloin.

It’s just that the pickling and starching techniques are a little more complicated.

The purpose is to make the beef more tender.

Some cooking methods add baking soda, using its physical and chemical properties to destroy muscle fibers, thereby tenderizing meat. However, if too much is used, it will also destroy the nutritional value of the ingredients themselves.

It tastes tender, but the flavor of the meat itself also comes from these proteins. If too much baking soda is used, the flavor of the meat will become weaker.

It’s okay to add a moderate amount, or to spend a little more effort.

Start by cutting the meat across the muscle grain, breaking up the muscle fibers.

Starch and egg liquid enrich the texture of the beef.

The moisture in the scallion and ginger water is also the key to making the beef more tender.

In the marinating seasoning, you also need to add dark soy sauce for color and light soy sauce for flavor.

Mix the beef, egg liquid, starch and seasoning evenly, then pour in cooking oil.

Continue to stir.

Until all the moisture in the seasoning is absorbed by the beef.

The beef fried in this way will be tender and fragrant.

The process of stir-frying beef is relatively simple, but it requires more control over the heat.

Hot pan, cold oil,

Slide the battered beef into the pan and fry with warm oil.

After the beef changes color, add the scallion and ginger slices and stir-fry until fragrant.

Pour rice wine into the side of the pot to cool it down.

Add oyster sauce, a small amount of soy sauce, and pepper. Stir-fry together. Before serving, add a thin starch and drizzle with sesame oil.

The whole frying process is not long, so the beef remains tender.

In addition to this dish, the store had ready-made braised meat, and the guy cut a large plate of it and put it together. Li Rui also fried two side dishes and served them on the table together.

"Awaited."

Lu Jia said politely, "No, Boss Li, you guys are always very fast in serving food."

Xiao Ma distributed the tableware and sat down:
“Staff meal is ready!”

Oyster sauce beef, this new dish, looks very tender.

The starch sauce and sesame oil on the surface make the surface of the beef shiny.

When you put it in your mouth, it is very smooth and tender as people expect.

When the tongue slides across the slices of meat, it is very affectionate.

The salty and fresh seasoning is just right and does not cover up the taste of the beef itself.

Several people exclaimed: "This beef is so tender!"

“It’s very smooth and smells delicious.”

Xiao Han had eaten beef tenderloin with king oyster mushrooms in the morning. The texture of the beef in that dish was obviously different from that in the beef with oyster sauce.

Different cooking methods bring different characteristics of dishes.

The staff meals in the store are very sumptuous.

Lu Jia’s mouth was full of oil.

At this time, she not only admired Xiao Ma's courage, but also admired her choice of re-employment.

“Is this a simple staff meal?”

"Why didn't I think of coming here to be a waiter?"

It was really one wrong step, one wrong step after another.

Before leaving, Lu Jia left Christmas Eve gifts for the three people.

A small fruit basket.

There were some fruits in it.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Li, Mr. Brother, Mr. Ma, let's make an appointment someday when you are free."

"Yeah, bye~"

After Lu Jia left, Xiao Ma looked at the fruit basket and suddenly remembered that when he was shopping with Lu Jia today, many stores had added some festive decorations.

So I suggested to my boss:

"Let's decorate the store, boss."

Christmas Eve, like various festivals, is packaged by businesses as a festival to promote consumption.

But in China, it also means a peaceful night.

Li Rui felt that it was indeed a good idea to create a festive and lively atmosphere.

In the evening, the shop opened for business.

Today is Christmas Eve and it’s the weekend, so there are many men and women on dates in the store.

Seeing familiar or unfamiliar faces,
Li Rui also found that some of the previous guests

For some people, their partners remain the same as before, and their orders are filled with every little detail of their time together.

For some people, their relationship is slowly heating up, for example, two people who had a blind date in a store not long ago, their behavior is becoming more and more intimate.

Others have changed their partners, made appointments to have dinner at small restaurants, and renew the promise to love him/her forever.

Li Rui would hold the wok and sometimes sigh.

The same beef, when cooked in different ways, will produce different results.

Some people like it burnt a little, some like it tender.

Cooking and falling in love are similar.
What is most important is what is palatable.

Li Rui and his brother were working in the kitchen.

Xiao Ma was counting the beautifully packaged boxes one by one in the store, "How many is this, boss?"

Li Rui felt that if the fruits given by customers were too many to be eaten, they could only be made into juice or jam.

The last person to give Li Rui some fruit was Miss Xia Yu.

She said to Li Rui: "Be safe and happy, Boss Li!"

Then a large bag of apples was handed over.

Spend a little money and do big things.
