Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 278: Skilled, Expert, Master, and Beyond?

Not long after Master Zhang left, the meals were brought into the private room one by one.

The first dish was a cold dish, the waiter told the three people, its name was golden and silver meat.

Xiao Ma was the first to ask questions.
"Cold dish, does it have to be mixed by Uncle Zhang to make it delicious?"

Xiao Han knew how to make this dish. He explained, "Sister Ma, this is called eating a cold dish hot. It is equivalent to three fresh dishes when it is hot. It is used."

Li Rui quickly interrupted him.

"Xiao Han, don't tell me how you made it yet. Let me taste it."

This is one of Li Rui's sources of happiness.

Don't allow others to spoil the story in advance.

Jinyinrou, the name is quite in line with the temperament of Taihelou.

The "gold" here probably refers to the golden garlic (fried minced garlic) on the plate, which gives this cold dish a rich garlic aroma.

Silver is the cabbage on the plate, one end immersed in the bright red sauce and the other end neatly stacked along the edge of the plate.

The meat, of course, is the twisted and curved pieces of meat inside.

Li Rui picked up a piece and unfolded it, and found that it was in three layers. "It's pork belly."

After putting it in your mouth,

In addition to the garlic flavor, the sauce is salty, fresh, slightly spicy, with a hint of sweetness.

Soy sauce, salt, sugar, MSG, and chili oil are of course indispensable, but there is also a hint of caramel in the sweet aftertaste.

If you savor it carefully, you will find it has an endless aftertaste.

Chef Zhang has a very good grasp of this flavor.

After the sauce entered his stomach, Li Rui chewed the meat slices for a while longer.

Let the meat aroma stay in the cavity for a longer time.

He also found that

The meat slices look soft, but they are actually a bit elastic.

It's not the kind of braised meat that melts in your mouth.

The five-flowered three-layer dish has a rich taste.

As a cold dish, it matches the overall style of the dish very well.

It tastes neither woody nor greasy.

There is a faint aroma of the seasoning that penetrates deep into the cracks of the pork belly, and you can only detect it if you taste it slowly.

Pork belly, the fat part accounts for a large proportion,

The final treatment is not fishy or greasy.

The golden garlic, which has a more dominant aroma, plays a big role.

The cabbage inserted diagonally into the bottom of the meat slices also helps to relieve the greasiness.

But the early processing of pork belly is also very important.

Li Rui is confident that he can handle this.

He slowly tasted a piece of meat, and the pony was already showing off.

Li Rui looked at Xiao Han. This kid was also reminiscing about Master Zhang's cooking skills.

"Is there sugar in it? Mixed with soy sauce?"

"Yes, boss, you can taste it. Although I have seen how Uncle Zhang made it in the kitchen, it is really hard for me to taste it."

There are three dishes and one soup on the table.
Chef Zhang’s cooking skills are excellent, but his dishes are not rare.

Li Rui asked Xiao Han:

"Brother, who do you think is better at cooking, me or Master Zhang?"

Xiao Han thought for a moment:
"Boss, I'm telling you the truth."

Li Rui smiled and said, "Just tell me, we can all see that you blush when you tell lies."

"In terms of knife skills, heat control, and flavor, I feel like you two are evenly matched.
If we only talk about cooking, you, the boss, are even better than Uncle Zhang.
But Uncle Zhang has something innovative.

Boss, when you cook, although you can quickly learn dishes from others, you rarely innovate.”

The young man spoke from his heart and did not blush the whole time.

Li Rui agreed with his statement. Xiao Ma put down his chopsticks and immediately stood up for his boss.

She looked at Xiao Han seriously:

“The prices in Taihe Building are the same as those in our store.

He even sells fried rice for 49 yuan, but it’s only 10 yuan in our store.

I am very unhappy that Xiao Han said this to the boss. You will mop the floor this month."

I feel a little embarrassed.
If we use the social etiquette in the circle to talk about it, Li Rui is his mentor.

He said helplessly: "My boss asked me to speak."

Li Rui comforted them both.
"Okay, okay, since you want to participate in the selection, you have to know more about people's level."

Based on the cooking skills that Li Rui has come into contact with on the system,
There are only two types: specialist and master.

If you count the young man, he is at a skilled level.

The pony is at a beginner level.

For now, they can be roughly divided into four types: beginner, skilled, expert, and master.

Let’s start with what Li Rui knows best.
Specialization means mastering a certain cooking technique.

Reached professional level.

It has already won the approval of diners.

The master, on the other hand, has a unique understanding based on his expertise and starts his own innovation.

It often brings people a more novel experience, just like seafood-flavored pancakes.

Perhaps there is a higher level above the master.

Li Rui suddenly remembered that although the system did not issue fixed tasks, his current task stage was on the road to advancement, and when he first started selling skewers, he was a novice.

China has a rich variety of food and a long history of culture. It seems that there are still many things that need to be explored by myself.

It is relatively easy to advance into single categories such as pancakes and barbecue.

But when it comes to cooking, it may not be done in a week or two.

Please cherish the seasonal recipes provided daily.

The delicious food from other people’s homes should not be wasted.

After the three of them finished their meal, Master Zhang never showed up again.

Xiao Ma hesitated and said, "Boss, should we say hello to Uncle Zhang before we leave?"

"No need, wait till I make the golden and silver meat, and then invite him to the store."

Li Rui guessed that

Perhaps Zhang Guohua still has a hurdle in his heart that he has not yet overcome.

Although he didn't say goodbye to Master Zhang, Li Rui saw the young man's manager sister again when he was checking out at the front desk.

Sister Zhao blocked Li Rui's phone:
"Boss Li, Master Zhang has already paid the bill. Don't worry, our company has internal vouchers. You didn't have to spend your own money. I'll treat you to a meal when Xiao Han brings you here again."

The hospitality of Taihe Building is irresistible.

Li Rui could only invite her to come to his shop when she was free.

"Xiao Han always stopped me and wouldn't let me go."

"me"

The restaurant was closed today. After leaving Taihe Building, Li Rui bought a few pieces of pork belly from the market. Then he concentrated on researching how to replicate the dish.

After a few hours,
Finally, I achieved a satisfactory result.

It turns out that what the guy meant by "eating cold dishes hot" is to put the pork belly slices into the boiling sauce and blanch them.

After blanching, the meat slices are more shiny and more flavorful.

The same principle applies to cabbage. After blanching, some of the lettuce smell of the cabbage is removed, making the taste more fragrant.

And at the same time.

Outside Boss Xue's shop, Jiang Yu put two broken ginseng roots into a gift box in the trunk.

Under the gift box, there was a lot of cash.

He called Xue Haichao, who was both the boss and the student:
"Let's go to President Zeng's house."
