Chapter 68: The Kitchen at Night
Night.
In the kitchen of Tang Tang Sauerkraut Fish, it was not quiet tonight, there was the sound of crackling keyboard tapping, and the sound of flames whirring and burning.
Miraculously, these two sounds are intertwined and continuous, creating another peculiar sense of tranquility.
It's like the sound of the tip of the pen rustling on the paper in the quiet evening self-study classroom, there is obviously a sound, but it is even quieter in private.
The sound of keyboard tapping is naturally Sun Quan's code word.
Writing novels is a dead end, but he is still on this dead end, so he can only continue to work hard, otherwise he will not even have to go to the dead end.
At this time, he used the side dish board as a computer desk, and the laptop was placed on the board, and the state of the code word was quite devoted, and there was a feeling that the heart was at peace and the body was at peace.
Not far away, on the liquefied gas stove, the pressure cooker sits firmly on the stove, and the flame burns continuously below.
Some of the water vapor spewed out from time to time above the pressure cooker slowly diffused an attractive aroma in the kitchen late at night, and I was not afraid to tell you that what was being cooked inside was pork ribs.
The small single room he rented before, Sun Quan had already retired from the landlord yesterday, and now he eats and lives in this store, anyway, there are two rooms on the second floor, one can live in people, and the other can be used as his code word study.
It's just that now that the shop is about to open, and it will officially open to the public tomorrow, the chef introduced by Mr. Qin will come to work tomorrow, and he has to prepare some staple dishes to be sold tomorrow tonight.
The yellow stewed chicken has been prepared, and now he is making yellow braised pork ribs, and there will be a pot of yellow braised pork knuckles waiting for him later.
It's not very busy to make these dishes, so he just sits next to him and writes some manuscripts, cooking is to make money, and writing manuscripts is also to make money!
He doesn't feel tired like this, he is poor, and it may be irritating for others to do two things at the same time, but he doesn't care, as long as he can make money, he has no regrets.
Besides, when the ribs and pork knuckles are ready, you can still hold a little supper when you code words, while coding words, while clipping a piece and chewing it in your mouth, doesn't that feel beautiful?
Find joy in life and have fun!
He's enjoying it now.
Halfway through the manuscript of a chapter, the alarm of the mobile phone he put on the board rang, that was the time he had set in advance, he glanced at the phone, Sun Quan smiled, stopped the hand of the code word, turned off the alarm casually, got up and walked to the liquefied gas stove, and turned off the fire. Then come back and continue with the codeword.
While coding, wait for the heat in the pressure cooker to slowly dissipate!
waited until the manuscript of this chapter in his hand was finished, he stretched his waist, picked up the teacup on the board and took a sip of tea, then lit a cigarette, unhurriedly went to remove the lid of the pressure cooker, reached in and put a piece of pork ribs in his mouth.
It's moderately soft and rotten, the taste is good, and the spicy taste is okay......
While chewing, he was making an evaluation in his heart, and his eyes were also examining the color of the ribs in the pressure cooker, the color was okay, and the color could be deepened a little next time, well, the sugar could be added to improve the freshness.
Turned around and brought a stainless steel basin, poured all the ribs in the pressure cooker into it, picked up the chopsticks on the board, and put another piece in his mouth.
Good things come in pairs, since you have already eaten a piece, let's eat another piece!
He's in a good mood.
When he turned around, he went to the fierce stove to burn the yellow braised pork knuckle.
The key technique of dishes such as braised chicken, braised pork ribs and braised pork knuckle is the boiling of the sauce, which he has boiled quite a bit this afternoon, and if nothing else, it should be enough for about a week.
With that sauce in place, other cooking skills are not difficult for Sun Quan.
After all, he is a chef from the academy, and the biggest characteristic of this kind of chef is his mastery of various cooking techniques, such as patting, sizing, hanging paste, thickening, such as braised dishes, sweet and sour, pepper and salt, soup and silk drawing.
Of course, the academy-born chef has its own drawbacks.
For example: the heart is arrogant, and it is difficult to put down the body to do dirty words and tiring work at first.
For example, although I have mastered a lot of various cooking knowledge, my practical ability is weak.
For example: all major cuisines know some and know some, but they are broad but not refined, and they know some of any cuisine, but they are not particularly good at any cuisine.
Wait a minute.
Sun Quan also had these shortcomings in the past, but life is the best honest, and the life experience of more than ten years before rebirth made him a lot less impetuous, and he also specialized in some special food.
About twenty minutes later, he poured all the pork knuckles in the large iron pot into the pressure cooker.
These pork knuckles have just been processed – defished, colored, seasoned, and so on.
At this time, pour it into the pressure cooker, and then use the pressure cooker to cook and simmer for a while, and it is almost OK.
The reason why the word "almost" is used here is because the pork knuckles that have been stewed in the pressure cooker need to be poured into a large iron pot for high heat to collect the juice before serving to the guests.
When the soup is thickened, the color will be darker and brighter, and the taste will be more mellow.
The pressure cooker sat on the liquefied gas stove again, turned on the stove, Sun Quan returned to wash his hands, returned to the board, and set an alarm for his mobile phone.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, he uploaded a chapter to the author's backstage, and after a little brewing, he began to code the next chapter.
He actually likes such a busy and fulfilling life.
Because it will give him a lot of confidence and know that he is not wasting his time.
……
Midnight.
After finishing today's fifth chapter manuscript, Sun Quan put on plastic wrap the yellow braised chicken, yellow braised pork ribs, and yellow braised pork knuckles that had already cooled, and then put them in the refrigerator preservation area one by one.
Grab your computer, cigarettes and teacups and go upstairs.
That night, he slept soundly.
In my sleep, the corners of my mouth are slightly raised.
Perhaps, in the dream, he was also coding words and cooking vegetables, right?
……
The next morning, he crossed the road in front of the store and went to the print shop diagonally across the street to retrieve his pre-ordered signs, menus and leaflets.
Back in the store, he hung two large 80 by 60 red menus on the walls on the left and right sides of the hall.
The contents of the two large menus are identical.
At the top is braised yellow chicken, 7 yuan per serving.
The second is braised pork ribs, which costs 8 yuan per serving.
Again, it is yellow braised pork knuckles, 8 yuan per serving.
In addition, there are also side dishes for customers to choose freely, such as small green vegetables, thousand pieces of silk, vermicelli, potatoes, etc., and the price of each of these side dishes is 5 cents.
That is to say, whether a customer comes in and orders braised chicken, braised pork ribs, or braised pork knuckles, unless he or she does not add any side dishes, otherwise, the final consumption will definitely be a little more.
At the bottom of the large menu, there are also various drinks and drinks for sale. Of course, the main drinks are all kinds of drinks, and the only drinks are beer and two-pot heads.
