Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 95-Braised Vegetables are Better Than Braised Meat

"Well, the old master's skills are really not to be underestimated. How about it? Are you interested in working for me?"

Lin Feng brought his men to Wang Fan's place early in the morning, without waiting at home for others to wish him a happy new year.

After tasting the meat braised by his second uncle, he immediately decided to hire his second uncle.

Wang Fan gently pushed his uncle on the back, forcing him to take a step forward and say awkwardly, "Then... then I'll be grateful for Boss Lin's care."

Lin Feng immediately patted his uncle's shoulder happily and said, "From now on, we are all family and we will just say whatever polite words we want. Just come over and report when it's convenient for you. We will treat you according to what we agreed on before."

After that, he laughed heartily and patted Wang Fan on the shoulder. "Boss Wang, this braised meat is really tough. When my brothers came over to eat, they said as soon as they walked in that they had eaten too much meat in the twelfth lunar month and wanted to have something vegetarian tonight. As soon as I took out your braised meat, they fought for it more fiercely than anyone else. We almost got into a fight. They ate it with their mouths full of grease, which was so ugly. When they left, they were so big and strong that they almost had to hold on to the wall. Hahaha."

When he said this, he was secretly happy. It was not easy to knock down those old brothers one by one. Not to mention how proud he was tonight.

After saying that, he saw that his men had almost finished packing their things and said goodbye directly: "You two take a rest. Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year and I have a lot of things to do. I won't stay long. Come to my place after the next two days. First, you can take a bath, and second, you can get familiar with the working environment in advance. Bye."

Boss Lin was a man of great impetuosity. He just said "let's go" and turned around, got in the car and left.

Wang Fan was about to go back to the RV, but his second uncle stood there in a daze and pushed him: "Uncle, get in the car. It's so cold outside."

Second Uncle asked stupidly, "Did I pass the interview? 4...4 a month?"

Wang Fan chuckled, "Don't think it's a lot. With this pot of soup and the reputation we've built over the past few days, if you keep running the business here, you might make even more than this in a month."

"How can it be the same? This is so stable, 4, that's as much as I made half a year ago. I'll soon be able to save enough for a down payment on your house in the city."

Wang Fan shook his head and returned to the dining car. He was a little tired of eating meat these days, so he planned to braise some vegetables to burn off the fat.

At this moment, there are large basins in the kitchen, containing kelp, black fungus, peanuts soaked early in the morning, peeled and sliced ​​lotus root and potato slices, as well as some mushrooms and broccoli.

Wang Fan used his full power to listen to the wind, identify the taste and observe the facial expressions. He put in and took out each ingredient at the perfect time, and soon turned the fresh ingredients in the basin into braised dishes.

After taking out the braised dishes and letting them cool down a bit, Wang Fan put some of each braised dish into small bowls.

Use chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised lotus root. The lotus root slice is an attractive reddish-brown color and exudes a rich braised aroma.

The braised lotus root slices are made with nine-hole lotus roots chosen by Wang Fan. Lotus roots generally have seven or nine holes. The seven-hole lotus root has less water and a high starch content. After being cooked, it has a soft and glutinous texture and is suitable for steaming and stewing.

Nine-hole lotus root contains more water and less starch, so it has a crisper texture and is more suitable for braised dishes.

The heat is not high when braising, and the cooking time is not long, so the crispness of the lotus root slices is naturally perfectly preserved. This results in a crisp "crunch...crunch..." sound when Wang Fan chews the lotus root slices.

Every time Wang Fan chews the lotus root, it releases a refreshing scent and fresh juice. The sweetness that is unique to nature is even better than any seasoning.

Wang Fan was very satisfied with the taste of the lotus root slices, and then he picked up a black fungus and put it in his mouth.

"Squeak... squeak..."

Black fungus doesn't have the same crispness as lotus root slices, but it has its own unique softness and crunch. Yes, softness and crunch, Wang Fan thinks this description is very appropriate.

The taste of black fungus is a little bit similar to pig ears, but it is softer than pig ears. It also has a layer of soft meat in the middle of its crispy skin.

It is soft and elastic, tough yet smooth. Although its taste is not very strong, it seems that you can taste every taste.

The hint of sweetness it brings blends with the base flavor of the marinade, giving it a soft and delicate texture, a crisp taste, and a rich aroma. Almost nothing else can achieve that unique flavor.

I don't know when my second uncle took out a bottle of wine, picked up a few peanuts, and drank it all in one gulp, emptying the one-cent cup.

"Ah……"

After exhaling the alcohol, Second Uncle felt warm all over.

I picked up another piece of mushroom and put it in my mouth. The smell of alcohol in my mouth was washed away by the taste of the mushroom, and it seemed to dissipate a lot.

Wang Fan only made a cross on the top of the thick mushroom to make it easier for flavor to be absorbed.

As soon as the mushrooms entered his mouth, my uncle could feel their delicious taste.

After taking a bite, the thick and tender texture of the meat made him feel refreshed.

The thick mushrooms have a certain elasticity when chewed, as if they are resisting the pressure of the teeth. In this process of resistance, the aroma of the marinade that has penetrated into every fiber of the mushrooms will be continuously released, and then blended with the unique flavor of the mushrooms, creating a rich sense of layering that my uncle did not feel when eating meat.

If you chew it in big mouthfuls, you will feel that the mushrooms are neither too soft nor too hard, and the perfect taste will leave you with an endless aftertaste.

Then he drank the wine that Wang Fanxin had poured in one gulp. It was so refreshing. I wouldn’t trade this mushroom for an elbow!

"Nephew, you have to tell me the seasoning for this mushroom. I think it tastes better than the meat. It must be very popular."

Wang Fan opened a bottle of beer. He couldn't stand the spiciness of white wine, but beer was just right.

Potato chips are the most difficult of all these ingredients to master. If they're cooked too high, they become soft; if they're cooked too low, they're flavorless and a bit sour. However, with two god-level skills added to his arsenal, Wang Fan was no problem handling these tiny potatoes.

As soon as Wang Fan took a bite, he was very satisfied with the crispy taste. He could also feel the delicate texture and unique toughness of the potato while chewing.

The potato slices absorb rich aroma while being soaked in the marinade, and the taste is mellow and long-lasting. A touch of saltiness and the sweetness of the potato chips themselves are unforgettable when you taste them on your tongue.

The taste of broccoli is equally good.

The small pieces of broccoli become soft after being soaked in the marinade, but still retain a certain chewiness and crispness, with a little bit of elasticity.

The aroma of the marinade penetrates into the broccoli, making its taste more mellow.

Each chew deepens the fusion of spices from the marinade and the refreshing touch of broccoli, creating a unique and harmonious flavor.
