Because he caught a criminal group, Jiang Hua has been very busy recently, and he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat in Zhang Tong's shop.

Jiang Hua is actually a person who does not cook for himself. The only dish she can cook in her life is probably hot pot. Of course, not the kind that buys ready-made hot pot bases.

Instead, he knows how to make the ingredients and fry the hot pot base, which is a family handicraft. Her father opened a spicy hot pot restaurant in Shuangqing City, Sichuan and Chongqing. Jiang Hua's father, Jiang Aijun, joined the army as a soldier for eight years, but the peak of his life was to be a platoon commander.

After retiring, he was arranged to work in Shuangqing Electric Appliance Factory, where he met Jiang Hua's mother. The two also began to fall in love, and later got married and had children.

However, Shuangqing Electric Appliance Factory began to enter a state of loss in the nineties, and the era of the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises in the nineties came. Shuangqing Electric Appliance Factory is no exception. Swallowed up in the wave of perestroika.

Jiang Aijun began to find ways to make money in order to support his family. At that time, Jiang Hua was still young and could not go to kindergarten. Jiang Hua's mother, Wang Qian, has to take care of Jiang Hua at home every day, and she can't work.

Jiang Aijun came up with a trick on his own and began to study how to fry spicy bases.

The people of Sichuan and Chongqing, whether they are from Chendu or Shuangqing, are all in love with spicy hot pot. However, hot pot is not eaten every day, so there are many restaurants in the Sichuan-Chongqing area that make skewers, spicy hot and steamed vegetables. This can be regarded as a compromise when a person wants to eat spicy hot pot.

Jiang Aijun started by setting up a stall selling skewers at the entrance of the school, and went from a small cart to a stall. From a small stall to a small storefront on the side of the road.

From a small store to a large gate, there are now five hot pot branches in Shuangqing City. All the countertops in several stores together have nearly 400 sheets. To be able to fight a bloody way in Shuangqing City, Jiang Aijun relied on his own exclusive secret recipe.

He studied the stir-frying of the base from the beginning of making skewers, and it took him ten years to find a suitable way. Attracted a group of repeat customers.

The demand for chefs in hot pot restaurants is almost the lowest in any catering industry. Most of the time, the chef has to deal with the work of the chopping board. They need to turn on the fire and stir-fry very, very rarely.

And the core of the hot pot restaurant is actually the hot pot base. If you can't fry the right base, then the hot pot can't be eaten.

Especially in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, the people in this place have very high requirements for spicy hot pot. If you don't smell right once or twice, you basically won't come.

And mastering the frying of hot pot base is equivalent to mastering the core of a restaurant. It's a secret at the heart of a store. Every successful spicy hot pot restaurant in Sichuan and Chongqing has its own unique recipe. And these secret recipes are generally only in the hands of the boss.

No matter how big the store is, the most important recipe must be in the hands of the owner. Unless it can survive by relying on brand effect like Haidilao, it will be too difficult to survive in Shuangqing City if the core formula is lost. This is the first-class war zone of the national hot pot.

Although it has five branches, it has more than 100 employees. But the most important thing Jiang Aijun has to do every day now is the production of hot pot base.

Basically, every three days, he needs to purchase a large number of ingredients and then start making hot pot bases. Although most of the work can be done by the chef.

However, he still has to do it himself. These parts are faked to others, and then their secret recipes will be circulated.

Now Jiang Hua's mother Wang Qian is in charge of the operation and management of the store, and his father Jiang Aijun still does the same job every day as when the stall sold skewers in the past - fried sauce.

Therefore, many people who know Jiang Aijun joke that he drives a BMW car with sea pepper flavor, and wears Armani with pepper star anise.

However, as he got older and older, Jiang Aijun had a feeling of being powerless. Because stir-frying is a very physically demanding job. Although he doesn't do a lot of basic work and physically demanding work now.

But now the base material in the store is more than when the store was opened. It's still a big project to just make the blending ratio of the recipe, as well as the production of some of the core stir-fried ingredients.

Jiang Aijun is now fifty-five years old, although his body has always been healthy, but it is very difficult to wield a big shovel to fry dozens of catties of ingredients, this is not twenty years ago.

"Oops, lighter, lighter. Jiang Aijun lay on the sofa and exposed his back, and asked his lover Wang Qian to rub his waist. Jiang Aijun almost flashed to his waist when he was frying the sauce today, and his muscles felt a little painful at this time, and Wang Qian was helping him apply plasters after massaging.

"Okay, where are you still in pain?" asked Wang Qian after helping Jiang Aijun apply the plaster.

"Almost, oops. It's not okay to be unconvinced. Today's stir-fry was smoked with sea peppers, and my head almost passed out. Jiang Aijun said after sitting up from the sofa.

Wang Qian looked at her husband half distressed, half blamed: "I've told you many times! Don't be strong, don't be strong." Just leave those things to Master Wang in the store. It's good for you to adjust the ingredients yourself, and put on the stove. ”

"I'm not at ease with someone else to fire. Besides, I've been frying the base for 20 years, and I can't stop if I don't find something to do every day. Jiang Aijun said.

Wang Qian glanced at him: "I was born with a cheap bone! ”

"What a blessing! We don't have a store to open anymore. Or it's still busy every day. In the past, I asked Hua Hua to stay at home to help. Jiang Aijun said.

But Wang Qian disagreed with Jiang Aijun's statement: "Let Huahua follow you to fry the ingredients? A female baby has the smell of pepper and sea pepper every day? You don't want to trample on your daughter!"

"Besides, our Jiahua Huahua is now at the administrative level! You don't care about the store's business on the surface, you don't know. Dealing with people in the official face, others know that our daughter is a positive place in Huaihai City, and everyone should be polite. ”

After Jiang Aijun heard this, he snorted twice: "What about the right place? Hasn't the position been taken away? I said it all, let Huahua find a way to transfer it back." Don't be angry in that place in Huaihai. If she wants to come back, Shuangqing is also a district leader. ”

Wang Qian slapped Jiang Aijun: "You think her transfer is as easy as buying sea peppers." Huahua, this girl, was born like you, with a hard bone. is to fight to death and refuse to admit mistakes, that is, to admit death. Otherwise, someone wouldn't have lost his position in the first place. ”

"So I've been a platoon commander for the rest of my life. I think Hua Hua is also a person with no official luck. Her character will always suffer in officialdom. If she can't go back to Shuangqing, she might as well let her retire by herself. The business of our store is so good, why is it not better to come back and inherit the business of the store than in Huaihai?" Jiang Aijun rubbed his waist and said.

"She was in Huaihai for more than 20,000 yuan a month, and she refused to accept the money we sent, and she was stubborn to death. But Huaihai's consumption is so high, I'm afraid that she will suffer. It's better to go home, have a big house to live in, and help the family with things. ”

Jiang Aijun's words made Wang Qian think for a while, and she said, "Yes." It's really better to go home. Her personality is not good in the official face, and she has the same stinky temper as you. ”

"If she dies, I won't worry about her being as delicate as you. Jiang Aijun patted his wife's ass a little. Although Wang Qian rolled her eyes, she was still quite useful in her heart.

"We don't wait for Huahua's money to eat, she just needs to live her own life. My biggest wish now is for her to find a suitable husband. The conditions are still secondary, the main thing is to be good to Huahua. Wang Qian said seriously.

Jiang Aijun interjected: "Yes, yes, yes! It's best to be able to come to the door." In this way, Huahua will not be bullied, and I can also hand over the work of frying sauce to him in the future. Huahua will follow you to learn management in the future. ”

The husband and wife chatted and chatted, and they had already finished telling Jiang Hua what kind of husband she needed in the future and what kind of son-in-law she needed.

chatting and chatting, Wang Qian clapped her hands: "I'm going to book a ticket tomorrow, and I'm going to Huaihai to see Huahua." She didn't come home for the Chinese New Year last year. I don't know how I've been in Huaihai. And I don't know if she has a boyfriend now. ”

"She's going to have to hurry up now. If Huaihai can't do it, I'll let her go home early. The hot pot restaurant we opened in Shuangqing is not big, but the family is at least quite wealthy. There is no need to suffer in Huaihai, you can't eat well, and you can't live well. Wang Qian had already made a decision, she was going to Huaihai, and she didn't say hello to Jiang Hua.

And Jiang Hua, who had just finished working overtime in the evening, was hungry, ah!
