The story of a cook

Chapter 120

The earth is never stingy in its generosity to the hard-working sower, and always rewards it with a bountiful harvest.

People are never stingy about being grateful to those who care, and always give something in return.

Those who love will return, and those who are blessed will come.

I found that the sauced pig's trotters and sauced pig's ears were selling faster than before. I went to the Fucaikou to see the reason. It was the sister Jin who Fucai kept recommending to customers, so they sold faster than before.

She felt that I had done her a favor, and that selling more of my dishes was also a form of gratitude.

I don't care much about this, because the sauced pig's trotters and sauced pig's ears are already delicious at this time.The stuff that has been sauced for more than two months, the sauce soup is almost ready, the taste is very strong and fragrant, and the stuff that comes out of the sauce must be delicious.Pickled vegetables are all about the old soup. The old soup must be kept well and not spoiled. It must be heated and boiled every day. During the boiling process, the impurities in the soup must be filtered out. At the same time, the basic taste of the old soup must be guaranteed, that is, salty and light. .In the process of keeping the old soup, it is necessary to constantly replace the material bag to ensure the taste and nutrition of the old soup.

The so-called pickles are actually a kind of nourishing dish with the same origin as medicinal food.We Chinese pay attention to the same origin of medicine and food. Our ancestors have long combined herbs and food, and the food made from herbs has a certain nourishing effect on the body.The medicine package in pickles is composed of various Chinese herbal medicines. While eating pickles, it also has a certain nourishing effect on the body.Many people who know how to maintain their health hardly take medicine, and their bodies are in great shape. They just know the reasonable combination of herbs and food, nourish their bodies during the diet process, improve their immunity, and rarely get sick. In good health.

For example, if our kidney yang is insufficient, we can add a little rehmannia glutinosa to the stewing process. Rehmannia glutinosa is very good for nourishing kidney yang, and it is sold in pharmacies, and it is not expensive, and everyone can afford it.When stewing dishes, such as stewed beef, stewed pork, and stewed chicken, add a little rehmannia, the rehmannia is dark brown, and the stewed soup will have the color of soy sauce. While eating the beef, pork, and chicken, Drink some soup, not too much in a week, just twice, it is more effective than taking Liuwei Dihuang Wan.At the same time, what you eat is vegetables and what you drink is soup. The human body absorbs it well, and there are not many side effects on the body.It is recommended that people with insufficient kidney yang can try it.Another example is stewed mutton with angelica. Angelica has the effects of nourishing blood and promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation, relieving pain, and laxative. Lamb has the effects of nourishing essence and blood, replenishing fatigue, warming the spleen, and nourishing the liver. When stewing mutton, add less angelica. There are many benefits to the human body. For example, women who have dysmenorrhea or lack of energy and blood can eat stewed mutton with angelica.Or add some angelica to the old soup for hot-boiled mutton, the effect is better. Of course, eating one or two meals will not have much effect.What I mean is to have a reasonable diet. Most of the human diseases can be noticed and prevented. Pay attention to your diet, understand some basic principles of the same origin of medicine and food, and you can regulate your body at home. .Our family often eats hot pot. When we have nothing to do, we will buy some mutton for a meal. I bought all the mutton, and it is not bad for the money of angelica. I buy some angelica and put it in the hot pot. If you eat it often Gradually, you will feel the changes in your body. You will feel less tired, women will not suffer from dysmenorrhea, and men's bodies will become much stronger.

The pickles are selling well, and the old lady told me to increase the quantity and make more.

The old lady and I said: "Auntie, our house is Korean barbecue, and it mainly sells barbecue. This is the biggest feature of our house, such as sauced pig's trotters and sauced pig's ears, which are also meat. Customers should order more sauced pig's trotters. For pig ears, there will be less barbecue. We can’t do that. In my opinion, we should still make [-] pig trotters and [-] pig ears every day. If you want to eat, come early and come late. I can’t help it, I’m done, come early tomorrow. This way I can still attract guests, and I can also guarantee the quality of the pickles, without deformation or out of shape, this is also our sister’s characteristic.”

When the old lady heard what I said, she thought it was the same, so she didn't say anything.

I went on to say: "Pickles are selling well, and customers like them, so let's make them. My idea is that we can work hard on cold dishes, especially vegetarian dishes. It doesn't take much. If there is a good vegetarian dish in our family, we can eat it." Shooting cannons is great."

The old lady thought for a while and said, "You're right, so what kind of vegetarian dishes are we serving now? Mixed vegetables are pretty good."

I said: "Auntie, I will study and study, give me some time, and I will ask you to try it after the research is done."

The old lady said: "Okay, just tinker with it."

Most of the customers who eat at the barbecue restaurant come to eat barbecue and Korean mixed vegetables.

There are more Xian people, and there are also many Han people, especially young people, who love to eat barbecue.Most of them are between 25 and 40 years old.

Barbecue is a way of sustainable heating, similar to hot pot, so when eating barbecue, you seldom order stir-fried vegetables. Come to a barbecue restaurant to eat, eat some barbecue, and a little salad is enough. The best thing to do is to have a bowl of miso soup, or dog meat soup, which is the basic order mode for eating at a barbecue restaurant.

Pig's trotters are selling well, and it is loved by both the Xian and the Han people, suitable for all ages.Pig ears are selling well because of the new pig ear sauce, which can be eaten directly or mixed with shredded cucumber as a cold dish. There are crispy bones in the pig ears, which squeak when eaten, and have a good taste. Adults and children love to eat them, so they sell well. .There is another reason why the sauced pig's trotters and sauced pig's ears are selling well--Jin's strong recommendation.

Most of the guests who come to the store drink alcohol, and they have to have an appetizer for drinking.Barbecue, sauced pig's trotters, and sauced pig's ears are all meat dishes, and fresh vegetables are sweet and spicy. What is lacking now is salty and fresh cold dishes, so let's study a salty and fresh cold dish, and it is a vegetarian dish.

People who drink alcohol like to eat peanuts. There are a few ways to make peanuts. Fried peanuts, salt-fried peanuts, spinach mixed with peanuts, peanuts in vinegar, etc. Every family uses these methods. You can order it without looking at the recipe.

I want to work hard on peanuts to see if I can develop a delicious appetizer.

After two days of research behind closed doors, there was no clue.On the third day, I got up early and went northward to see if there were any new raw materials in the market that could be used for cold dishes. I wanted to choose a new raw material instead of studying peanuts.On the road, I saw the old main road when I was shopping in Rose. I asked him if he had any new raw materials that are selling well. He said that the new naked peanuts are selling very well, and many restaurants are selling them. It is said that it is mainly used as an ingredient, and there is no need to peel it, which is convenient and trouble-free.

I said, "Naked Peanuts? Get me some."

He grabbed a handful and gave it to me. I saw what naked peanuts are, they are peeled peanuts. They are white and fat. The name of naked peanuts just sounds nicer, and it makes people think a little bit.Peanuts at that time were all skinned, and there were very few peeled peanuts. Unlike now, peeled peanuts can be bought everywhere.I looked at the peeled peanuts in my hand and thought, this can be researched, so I bought two catties and took it back to study.

At the beginning, I fried it with oil, but after frying, it tasted bad, and it was not as good as peanuts with skins on.Then soak the peeled peanuts in water. After soaking, the peanuts are very plump, white and plump, very good-looking, and you like it when you look at it. You can eat it with your mouth and taste it. It’s okay, although it’s a bit raw. Rice smell, but not very strong, I can accept it, but some customers may not accept it.Then I mixed it according to the method of mixing peanuts with mature vinegar, and it tasted better than peanuts with mature vinegar. At this time, the taste of raw peanuts is not so strong, but there is still a little fine taste, and I feel that I am not good enough.

At that time, I couldn't think of any good way to make it. I felt a little headache, so I stopped, put the mixed peanuts into a packing bag, and took it home to prepare for Lin Yan as a dish when I got off work.

The next morning, Lin Yan probably ate the peanuts for breakfast, so she woke me up and asked me if the peanuts were raw, and I said yes.

Lin Yan said: "It's delicious, but it tastes a little like raw peanuts. If you add some chopped green onion, oil, and chili, it will be even more delicious with a little spiciness. I like spicy food."

After she finished speaking, she went out to work. I lay on the bed and thought, yes, why do I always mix it according to the method of mixing peanuts with vinegar, I can’t do it again, maybe it will be delicious.With this idea, I was excited and not sleepy anymore. I got up and washed my face, put on my clothes and went to the barbecue shop, and went into the kitchen to start researching again.

This time I still use soaked peeled peanuts, chopped green onion, and chopped chili peppers. The seasoning uses oily oil, soy sauce, sugar, and mature vinegar. Try it after mixing. It’s really delicious. The taste is good and authentic, and the biggest feature is appetizing and refreshing.It must be very popular if it is served to the guests.

When the old lady came, I brought the mixed peanuts to her and said, "Auntie, try it."

The old lady looked at the peanuts and asked, "What kind of dish is this?"

I said: "Auntie, you taste it first, and then talk about it."

The old lady picked up a peanut with chopsticks and put it in her mouth to taste. After eating, she picked up another peanut and put it in her mouth. After eating four in a row, she said, "This is a raw peanut."

I said, "Yes, raw peanuts."

The old lady said: "I didn't eat it at first, it's delicious, how did you mix it?"

I said, "It's just mixed like this." Then I asked, "Auntie, do you think it's okay to eat?"

The old lady said: "It's okay, it's really okay, the guests promise to like it, it's not much more delicious than fried peanuts."

I said, "If you think it's okay, then we'll sell it."

The old lady said: "Okay, let's sell it, I guarantee it."

Approved by the old lady, and then began to try to sell, the name is "Yangchun appetizers".After the trial sale, the effect was very good, and the customers responded that it was very delicious, delicious and appetizing, and almost every table must order it.Several improvements were made through the trial sale, and this dish was basically finalized, and it began to be written into the recipe and became a special cold dish of the barbecue restaurant.

The appetizers sold well, and the amount of appetizers began to decrease. I was very busy here, and the daily sales amount seemed to exceed the appetizers, so I prepared the production standards and proportions of appetizers. I gave it to Sister Ma, and Sister Ma started to make this dish, which saved me a lot of worry.

Working together is like this. Although the dishes here sell well, I will get the approval and approval of the boss, or look at them with high regard, but the dishes served with wine are cold dishes after all. It’s not easy to make in front of you. Now that it’s fixed and formed, you can hand it over to the vegetable mix, so that they will be happy and I will be lighter.In the future, the success of the appetizers is due to the mixed vegetables, and they will also talk about me.As for why I gave it to Sister Ma but not to Sister Wang, it is very simple. Last time I taught Sister Wang the recipe of dry ingredients, and this time I taught Sister Ma the recipe for snacks. would be very happy.

Appetizers have become very popular in Yangchun, almost every table must order them, and some customers order a second one after finishing one.

Many restaurants come here to learn this dish. You can tell at a glance when you come to the restaurant to learn it. Usually, they come after 07:30 in the evening. After they come, they only order appetizers. They don’t drink much, just sit there and study. This is guaranteed to belong to the hotel.Appetizers don't have too much technical content. If you taste them with dim sum, ordinary chefs can learn them.

It has not been a month since the barbecue restaurant launched the appetizers, and many restaurants have begun to sell them.

Even now, many restaurants are still selling it, and the appetizers are still very popular among customers.Sometimes when I go to a restaurant to eat and see someone ordering appetizers, I still have a sense of accomplishment in my heart.
