Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 93: The reporter who was secretly visiting the fried chicken shop could not find any flaws for the time being

As expected, Mr. Jin, the boss of the butcher shop, did not disappoint Li Rui.

The chicken he delivers in the morning is always fresh.

Of course, the price is much higher than frozen meat.

However, Li Rui still cares about the quality of the ingredients.

After all, he would eat everything he made if time permitted.

Lao Jin helped bring the chicken into the shop.

The clean and spacious shop in front of me looks very nice.

So he said casually:

"Boss Li, it hasn't been long since we set up the stall, but we've already opened the store."

"It's a small business."

“The rent isn’t cheap.”

Lao Jin was a little curious. After all, this was Fangda Plaza, a place where every inch of land was worth a lot of money.

But Li Rui's answer was very honest:

"I'm not sure about the rent, but the property fees here are quite expensive."

Lao Jin nodded. "It's expensive for a reason. Look at how many customers there are during the National Day holiday. Business is booming, Boss Li."

"Lend your auspicious words."

All the meat was brought in.

The meat Li Rui bought this time was mainly chicken legs and chicken breasts.

The former is used to make fried chicken nuggets, and the latter is used to make fried chicken steaks.

Li Rui placed the chicken leg on the chopping board and then took out a butcher knife.

To cut a whole chicken leg into small pieces, you need to first find the bone of the chicken leg and use a knife to cut it open from the inside of the bone where it connects to the meat.

Then between the two large bones of the chicken leg,

That is the position of the knee.

Use a knife to cut the tendons between the two bones.

The two large bones in a whole chicken leg are the femur and the tibia, and there is a small bone like a barb called the fibula, which is attached to the tibia.

After the two bones are separated, you can pull the bones away from the meat with your hands.

Use a knife to cut the remaining connection and the chicken leg is successfully deboned.

Li Rui had a kitchen knife and the job was effortless.

Cut the boneless chicken legs into small pieces of 3 cm square, put them into clean water, wash and drain.

Chicken breast is relatively thick, so if you use it to fry chicken fillets,
Also needs a slight modification.

Slice the chicken breast in the middle and divide it into three pieces of similar size.

Next, start pickling.

Add soy sauce, salt, five-spice powder, pepper and chicken stock to the chicken;
Chopped onion and garlic;

And ginger paste mashed with a Nanhai Huanghuali rolling pin.

Li Rui started preparing early. He covered the chicken in the basin with plastic wrap and put them all in the refrigerator.

The longer the marinating time, the more flavorful the chicken will be.

It tastes better when fried in the afternoon.

He bought about two hundred kilograms of chicken this time, which was packed in ten stainless steel basins.

Not only was the refrigerator full, but there were also a few pots of food placed in the freezer next to it.

"Little Dong is already stuffed."

The smart refrigerator assistant gave a timely reminder.

While Li Rui was busy,

At this time, Fonda Square was already very lively.

Although the food festival has not yet opened, many people like to come to the business district for fun as we finally have a holiday.

Even in the preparation stage,

Someone has come to ask Li Rui:
"Is anyone there?" the visitor asked curiously.

After seeing Li Rui coming out, the two young ladies exclaimed "Wow":

"Wow, you're still the boss. I thought you changed people. Did you open a fried chicken shop?"

Li Rui replied: "Yes, the fried chicken is not ready yet. It will open at 4 pm. You are welcome to come and taste it then."

"sure."

The two reserved customers nodded repeatedly.

in the afternoon,
Part-time employees from the fried chicken shop also arrived.

"Hmm? It's not even two o'clock yet. Have you eaten yet?"

Li Rui asked.

Under Li Rui's guidance, Ma Jinge dressed neatly, put on an apron, and prepared to join the ongoing batter wrapping work.

Three basins are needed to make the batter, one for the wet batter, one for the dry flour, and one for the semi-dry and semi-wet dough.

First, the batter.
The main ingredients of batter are flour, eggs and milk.

If you add milk instead of water, the batter itself will have a light flavor. Of course, if you eat it with fried chicken, it will not be easy to taste it.

Li Rui took out the all-purpose flour, poured in the milk and stirred, and finally added the eggs to stir the batter evenly.

Adding the eggs at the end can prevent lumps from forming in the batter.

Prepare the batter.

Next is the semi-dry, semi-wet, scaly layer on the surface of the fried chicken.

It is still mainly made of medium-gluten flour.
Add a little salt to taste.
As well as baking powder and baking soda, which make the flaky crust extra crispy.

Since you are just starting to fry, you need to add a little water to these ingredients to make the flour form small flakes.

So it is in a semi-dry and semi-wet state.

As more and more ingredients are fried, they will release water and there will be no need to add more water.

The last bowl is dry flour.
Needless to say, it is used to stick the ingredients and wet batter together.

Li Rui had noodles on his hands.
He then instructed the store employees:

"Xiao Ma, help me get a pot of chicken breast out of the refrigerator."

Since it was not yet the agreed working time, Ma Jinge had been observing here for a long time.

She was eating the employee meal that Li Rui prepared for her.

Fried kelp is her favorite.

The pancakes made by the boss were a little dark, but they were just what she wanted.

Of course, she didn't forget to work.

It’s just that I didn’t find any “flaws” in the fried chicken shop, but I remembered the process of making fried chicken batter pretty much.

Hearing Li Rui's instructions, she turned around obediently and walked towards the refrigerator.

I thought to myself:

Just in time to see what you have stashed in your fridge.

But her hand just touched the refrigerator,

Then the voice of "Xiaodong" was heard:

"Xiaodong detected a smart device. Master, is this an intrusion?"

Majingo was startled by the sudden sound.

She looked flustered and had her hands on her chest.

Li Rui was already used to Xiaodong's reaction.

It may be that Xiaodong detected some Internet device on Ma Jinge, which aroused Xiaodong's aggressive instinct.

Both sides are colleagues, and both sides have to be coaxed.

It's hard to be a boss.

So he comforted Majingo first:
"Don't be scared Pony, this is a smart fridge."

Then he gave Xiao Dong instructions again, saying:

"Xiaodong, Xiaodong, this is an employee of our store, please don't invade her."

The refrigerator side panel screen flashed a red and blue light.
"Okay, Master. The warning has been lifted."

Ma Jinge continued her work, and she couldn't help but ask, "Boss, is your refrigerator so powerful?"

Li Rui smiled and replied:

"Smart refrigerators are very common on the market now."

But as Majingo opened the refrigerator door, he almost put his head in.

Li Ruicai realized that a bowl of more than 20 kilograms of chicken was too heavy for this petite girl who was less than 1.6 meters tall.

It seems a bit difficult.

His own physique had been strengthened twice, so he could lift the weight with ease.

No one else has it.

So Li Rui said to her, "Let me do it. I don't think you can move it."

Ma Jinge turned his back to Li Rui and rolled up his sleeves.

She said "Hey" softly and took out a pot of meat.

"Where should I put it, boss?" she asked, turning her head.

When speaking, his face doesn't turn red and he doesn't get angry.

It can almost be said that it is effortless.

"Thank you for your help. Put it here." Li Rui pointed to the place next to him.

A loli with super strength, right?

This employee is worth it.
