Food Wars: Taste Buds Reversal

019. Hamburger Shop [Update 1] The busy commercial street is lined with clothing stores, beverage stores, and major chain restaurants. The crowds coming from the station are the endless stream of visitors here, and the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the Big Mac Hamburger Shop near the station.

Having won the"Burger King Award" for two consecutive years, the fame of this shop has reached the point where the surrounding food weeklies are competing to report on it. Every day, the people queuing outside the shop can line up to the station, and the number of diners in the shop is countless.

This is the scene that Bai Mu saw when he walked over from the station.

Countless students and white-collar workers were either in groups of three or five, or constantly looking at the time on their watches, queuing at the door of the shop waiting to order food. Opposite this hamburger shop, there is also a shop with similar decoration but closed doors.

Bai Mu looked up and saw that the name of the hamburger shop was... Hamburger Shop.

Yes, it was such a simple and unpretentious name. The hamburger shop given by the system was really called Hamburger Shop.

But this was much better than he had imagined. He had originally thought that the system would give him a shabby, old-fashioned shop, but it turned out to be similar to the Big Mac across the street. At least there would be no problem with the appearance.

He opened the shutter door of the shop, and some diners in the queue across the street obviously noticed the movement here, and looked over with some curiosity. They had seen that there was also a hamburger shop here, but the door of this shop had always been closed. He didn't expect that someone would come today.

After opening the shutter door, Bai Mu pulled the door down again. He still had to deal with the ingredients and study hamburgers, so of course he couldn't open the shop immediately. After seeing the spectacular scene of the Big Mac hamburger shop across the street with long queues inside and outside the shop, he knew that if he couldn't come up with something to attract diners, his shop would only be able to survive in the cracks.

Walking into the hamburger shop, there is a relatively small cooking table with all the facilities of a hamburger shop. However, if you cook here, you will not be able to serve the customers outside. If there are staff, it will be fine, but now there is only Baimu in this shop, where can the staff help him serve the customers?

After thinking about it, Baimu moved the fryer, oven, cola machine, etc. directly to the door of the shop, and then put a table at the door and put all these facilities on it to form a small cooking table. Then he moved the warming cabinet behind the table, directly isolating the seats in the shop.

Although customers cannot enter the shop, Baimu can also turn this shop into a stall that sells fresh food on the spot, so there is no need for staff.

Then there was the issue of ingredients. There were still a lot of ingredients left in the room, from pork, beef, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and other filling materials to eggs, flour, yeast, butter and other hamburger bun materials. A half-meter-high bag was prepared. Although this amount of materials might not last for half a day for a large hamburger restaurant, Bai Mu felt that if he could use these materials flexibly, he would not have to worry about today's turnover.

Seasonings such as black pepper, lemon juice, honey, mustard, sugar and salt were also sufficient. Seeing these things, Bai Mu was somewhat confident about the dishes he would make next.

He had never made hamburgers, but if he hadn't seen pigs run, had he not eaten pork?

Before crossing over, hamburgers such as KFC and McDonald's were Bai Mu's regular takeaway customers. In Bai Mu's opinion, to make hamburgers, he only needed to stuff the fillings into the hamburger buns in order. As for how to make the fillings, this was even simpler. Tomatoes and lettuce were directly put in, and the meat could be fried casually.

What he needs to do now is to think carefully about how to simplify the production process of hamburgers to the greatest extent, and how to make hamburgers attract more customers' attention.

It is definitely too late to cut tomatoes and lettuce one by one, it is too troublesome.

Bai Mu poured all the tomatoes into a stainless steel container with a diameter of half a meter, washed and filtered with water for more than ten times, and added a special detergent for washing vegetables during the process.

The processing method of lettuce is the same as above.

In order to prevent residual pesticides, Bai Mu added water and poured half a basin of salt into it after washing.

The tomatoes and lettuce should be very clean after soaking in this way. The next step is the soul of the hamburger - the hamburger bun.

Bai Mu also took a large stainless steel basin with a diameter of half a meter, poured half a bag of flour into it, turned on the faucet and poured clean water into it, and then used his hand to draw counterclockwise in it.

About ten minutes later, the irregular dough that was stirred and full of particles was completed.

Bai Mu poured two packets of yeast into it, then took a baking tray from the side, covered it with seasoning paper, and patted the dough on it with one hand.

He patted it for twenty minutes, and then all fifteen baking trays were stuffed into the big oven.

The upper and lower fire was 280 degrees, and the time was set to 30 minutes.

After doing all this, Bai Mu began to process the meat.

The meat grinder was fully powered, and more than 20 pieces of meat were put in at once to fill it up, and then beat it for one or two minutes, regardless of whether it was broken or not, and then changed to the next batch.

While the dough in the oven was baked, Bai Mu already had a full pot of minced meat stuffing in front of him.

Although the bread was baked, Bai Mu planned to let it ferment in it for a while. Anyway, it was all burnt, and it wouldn't make much difference if it was simmered for a while longer. He began to concentrate on marinating the meat stuffing, first adding honey, and then injecting the soul: mustard. He squeezed a full fifty mustards in it, and finally put two packets of salt, and the meat stuffing was done.

Baimu didn't plan to fry the meat fillings. He just put them into the hamburgers raw, which saved the consumption of oil. What he really wanted to fry was the hamburger buns!

But before that, he needed to process the tomatoes.

Coming to the tomatoes that had been soaked in salt for more than half an hour, Baimu picked up a kitchen knife and chopped them in the salt water. The shape he chopped them into depended on his mood. Soon, after more than ten minutes, the water that was originally a little turbid due to the salt water had turned red. All the tomatoes were either chopped into blocks or strips and lay inside.

In this way, the preparations for opening the store were basically completed.

Baimu walked to the front of the rolling door and opened it with a swish.

Immediately, a row of diners lined up outside the Big Mac hamburger shop opposite subconsciously turned their heads and looked at the hamburger shop that suddenly opened.
