Volume 1: Internet Celebrity Canteen Chapter 052 The Singing Tone, the Chef's Soup!
"I didn't expect you to advertise the canteen on Weibo, and now the canteen owner's mouth is probably crooked. ”
Mei Ling called Mu Xiao, her mood was quite complicated, and she always felt as if she owed Mu Xiao something.
Mu Xiao's emotional intelligence is very high, and she hurriedly explained with a smile, "Sister Mei, I want to recommend that canteen from the bottom of my heart. Because it was the best food I've ever had in my life, I was worried that the cafeteria would suddenly close down and I would never taste that unforgettable taste again. ”
Mei Ling couldn't cry or laugh, "Didn't the agent settle accounts with you?"
She could think of Mu Xiao's agent's bitter gourd face, it must be very terrifying.
Mu Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said disdainfully: "I don't care." In life, you always have to be a little free. My Weibo, post something by yourself, can't you?"
Although Mu Xiao is now a top actress in China, she still has an innocent and kind side in her bones, and in the complex entertainment industry, she is completely different.
Major entertainment companies found that Mu Xiao did not provoke scandals, which was also her biggest charm to attract fans, so they were also extra protective of her.
"I'm curious. I always feel that you post this content, it's not that simple, you are not the kind of person who makes a big deal out of it purely because the food is delicious. Mei Ling tried to explore Mu Xiao's inner world.
Mu Xiao was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't hide it from you." Didn't you investigate the reason for the TV station's past interview that day?"
Mei Ling arranged for someone to ask the canteen staff privately.
The employees must stand in the position of Qiao Zhi and Ding Chan.
Mei Ling suddenly realized, "Are you holding uneven?"
Mu Xiao bowed slightly, "The owner of the canteen has a very good character, and he contracted the canteen at a high price to help the female college student pay for her mother's medical expenses." If such a good person suffers unfair treatment because of negative energy, wouldn't it be a sorrow for society?"
Mei Ling sighed: "So you think of a way to use Weibo to divert the public's attention?"
Mu Xiao suddenly felt depressed: "It's not a headache for agents or entertainment companies now, it's that I should regret it." ”
"Why?"
"I advertised his canteen on Weibo, and now the company is receiving a lot of food ads, and I may have to add a lot of work in the next period. ”
"Cut, get cheap and sell well. ”
"I really don't want to take on so many ads......"
Hanging up Mu Xiao's phone, Mei Ling held her chin with one hand.
Sorting out the ins and outs of the whole thing, I always feel that the luck of the canteen owner Qiao Zhi is simply so good.
But if you think about it, it has nothing to do with his strength.
If Qiao Zhi hadn't used his cooking skills to conquer Xu Hexiang's tricky mouth, Xu Hexiang would not have been able to introduce him to himself.
I will not forget the three particularly "home-cooked" dishes in the cafeteria, let alone take Mu Xiao to try the dishes for the second time.
If the food hadn't brought Mu Xiao a huge surprise, she wouldn't have paid so much attention to the canteen.
Mei Ling suddenly had an impulse to give Qiao Zhi a chance to directly advance to the Eight Cuisine Chef King Competition.
Immediately, she dismissed the idea.
Although Qiao Zhi's cooking skills are good, each of the players in the King of Chefs competition is experienced in a hundred battles and is famous.
His fame is still too small, and if he pushes a newcomer as one of the organizers, it will not only cause controversy, but also bring huge pressure to Qiao Zhi.
If Qiao Zhi does have the strength, he should be able to get the quota of Huaixiang Group, and he doesn't need to give him a promotion card directly.
......
When Tao Ruxue woke up, a message appeared on her mobile phone, which was sent by An Zixia.
An Zixia is one of Tao Ruxue's few friends.
An Zixia has made a lot of friends, so any gossip immediately reached her ears.
"Did you know? Han Bin was arrested in the hospital last night. ”
Although Tao Ruxue was a little bored with Han Bin, she couldn't help but reply to a text message.
"What happened to Han Bin?"
"Hire a private investigator to investigate other people's privacy. As a result, he provoked a violent criminal. Fortunately, I didn't get into a life lawsuit, so I don't know what to do now!"
When Tao Ruxue heard about hiring a private detective, she immediately contacted him to investigate Qiao Zhi and Tao Ruxue.
Tao Ruxue thought that Han Bin had done such a trivial deed, so he was arrested now, but he felt a sense of happiness that he deserved it.
But how can you get into trouble with violent criminals?
"What about violent criminals?"
"The violent criminal, who was addicted to gambling, beat his wife and imprisoned him, and even blackmailed his wife's niece, trying to demand 350,000 yuan. Now Han Bin is in trouble, involving economic issues. ”
Tao Ruxue fell silent, she didn't expect that the problem Qiao Zhi encountered was secretly instructed by Han Bin, and a feeling of guilt surged in her heart.
No wonder Tao Rushuang once said that her vision of choosing a lover is too poor.
Who would have thought that Han Bin was such a despicable and shameless villain?
Tao Ruxue breathed a sigh of relief.
All in all, the truth is now revealed.
......
When Zhou Chong came to the cafeteria, he was taken aback.
Originally, because he was affected by last night's news, he would definitely be at the door today, but he didn't expect that there was already a long queue.
"What's the situation? There was so much news yesterday, why are there more people? Zhou Chong was inexplicable.
"Yesterday, Mu Xiao recommended our canteen on Weibo. Duran explained with a smile.
"Mu Xiao, the one you said is particularly powerful in the palace fighting scene?" Zhou Chong couldn't believe it.
"Yes, now netizens all over China are curious, what is the origin of our canteen? Some people even suspect that Mu Xiao is the real boss of our canteen. ”
"It's bloody. ”
Zhou Chong actually thinks that this canteen will not last long, and the popularity he brings can only last for a month at most.
When everyone forgets about smashing their cars, they will forget about this canteen.
And when the time comes, you can also leave here and continue to live a chic and free life, spending time and drinking.
Who would have thought that this canteen would encounter an opportunity again, and it would be even more terrifying than the previous hype.
Zhou Chong walked towards the back kitchen, without any reminder, and began to clean today's ingredients.
Zhou Chong was actually happy in his heart, if the place where he worked was really ruined by Zheng Changming's garbage, he would definitely settle accounts with Zheng Changming.
Am I resigned myself to this life?
Zhou Chong hurriedly dispelled this thought, he would never allow himself to be a cook.
"Zhou Chong, hurry up and break the cabbage, pay attention to break it a little, you broke it too big yesterday. Qiao Zhi saw that Zhou Chong was stunned and urged.
"Okay, is that so?"
"It's too broken, it needs to be bigger. ”
Qiao Zhi had to show Zhou Chong in person, "Why are you so stupid? You can't even break cabbage." ”
"There's a first time for everything, and you weren't born with it. Zhou Chong retorted.
"That's right, hurry up, there's a lot of work to do today. ”
Qiao Zhi did not continue to talk to Zhou Chong, but began to process the ingredients, cutting vegetables, ingredients, and processing the soup that had been in the pot for several hours.
Soup is very important to chefs.
It's not the soup we taste straight on the table, it's the stock.
Stock is a commonly used auxiliary ingredient in cooking, which is added to dishes or soups in place of water during the cooking process to enhance freshness and make the flavor richer.
There is an old saying in the chef's line, "the tone of the singing opera, the soup of the chef".
Broad and profound Chinese food attaches the most importance to the harmony of the five flavors, and soup can make the taste of the food fully analyzed and penetrate each other, which is the most ideal means to achieve the spirit of harmony of the five flavors.
The method of preparing the soup stock varies according to the dialect, and the words "hanging", "boiling", "simmering", and "boiling" are used.
Hanging: Extraction.
Boil: Simmer over low heat.
Simmer: Cook over low heat.
焐: Touching something hot with something cold to make it warm.
How to "hang the broth", "boil the broth", "simmer the broth" and "boil the broth" is not an open secret, but it is also the chef's experience.
A thousand cooks, each with their own soup.
A large part of the secret of why Qiao Zhi can make a simple home-cooked meal into a different taste is in the broth.
Qiao Zhi's soup stock is different every day.
Today's boiled chicken soup looks like plain water, but the ingredients are very rich.
Old hens and ducks that are more than three years old, moderately fat and thin hooves, and Jinhua ham that are more than two years old......
As for the heat, simmer slowly, after a few hours, mix the chicken puree with cold water to form a porridge, pour in the clear broth and stir quickly, and simmer for another hour.
Some restaurants will boil it in advance and use it frozen, but this overnight soup naturally has no fresh aroma.
Smelling the fragrant fragrance, Zhou Chong only felt that his saliva was secreting vigorously, and hunger filled his brain.
Although he didn't like Qiao Zhi, his cooking skills made him admire him so much.
Under the influence of Qiao Zhi, Zhou Chong began to devote himself to the work of picking vegetables.
He suddenly had a thought, will he one day, like Qiao Zhi, be able to cook delicious food that is full of praise and can be made with understatement?
Zhou Chong was frightened by this terrible thought of himself!
He is a rich second generation, how can he be willing to be a cook?
There were so many customers, so it closed faster than yesterday.
It's not that there aren't enough ingredients, it's that the stock is running out.
Soup-free closing is an unwritten rule in the culinary world, but it is a rule that all chefs adhere to, and it is important to maintain the natural flavor of the dishes.
No soup is responsible for the taste of diners, and it is also a commitment to the quality of one's own dishes.
Qiao Zhi tidied up the back kitchen and stretched.
The weather was sunny and sunny.
Ding Chan happily reported today's turnover, which was a breakthrough compared to yesterday, everyone was very happy, and Qiao Zhi happily continued to send red envelopes to employees.
It seems that everything is on track, but Qiao Zhi knows that it is not enough to reach the goal.
"Boss, there are leaders of the academy looking for you. Ding Chan rushed over with a panicked expression.
"People from the academy?" Qiao Zhi was secretly surprised.
Business in the canteen is booming these days, and there is an endless stream of outsiders entering every day.
Will the school consider safety issues and interfere in the operation and management of the canteen?
Qiao Zhi had long expected this problem to appear, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Qiao Zhi saw the four of them standing in the cafeteria hall from a distance, took a deep breath, and walked over.
