Chapter 126: Ten years of sharpening a sword

Zhou An actually has a very stubborn factor in his personality, and he has a deep spirit of study for what he is interested in, such as cooking!

When he finds a dish interesting, he will try his best to learn and study, and sometimes in order to make a dish his desired effect, he can bring his own ingredients, make one every day, and then taste it himself.

In the eyes of outsiders, his behavior seems to be greedy, opening a small stove for himself, but it is not!

For example, he heard a colleague who came back from a trip mention the name of this dish, and saw a picture of this dish on the other party's mobile phone, but he had never seen the real thing himself.

The colleague who mentioned this dish to him may have forgotten it not long after, but Zhou An has always remembered it, and searched the Internet for the raw materials, accessories, and condiments used in this dish, and then saw how the Internet described the evaluation of the finished dish.

For example, bone crispy meat *** such as sweet and sour......

As a professional chef with excellent basic skills, Zhou Anneng can use his own experience to deduce the production process of this dish from the raw materials, auxiliary materials, and condiments used in this dish, and then according to the effect after the finished dish.

It's not mysterious!

Zhou An believes that as long as he works hard, many chefs with solid basic skills can do it.

For example, the effect of some dishes is that the outside is charred and the inside is tender, so when making, how to achieve this effect? Zhou Anneng instantly thought of a few techniques, sorting powder, sizing or hanging paste, first into the oil pan to soak and fry again, the oil temperature is not too high, after frying, scoop up, raise the oil temperature on high heat, and then fry it again at high temperature.

As long as there is no problem with the operation technique, the effect of burnt on the outside and tender on the inside is achieved.

For example, the melt-in-your-mouth effect, which is a common dish in novels, Zhou An's first thought is the heat and pots.

Use clay pots and pans, simmer slowly, and when the effort is reached, you can naturally achieve the effect of melting in the mouth.

Wait a minute!

A professional chef with solid basic skills must have the ability to develop new dishes, and at the same time, he also has the ability to imitate other popular dishes.

Before he was reborn, Zhou An had such an ability.

He has studied a lot of dishes that he is interested in, and after some dishes have been researched, he used them in the restaurant where he worked at the time, and some dishes have been researched, but they have never been able to contribute to them.

For example, fish bites sheep, such as duck blood duck soup, and for example, the Wuxi sauce pork ribs just mentioned.

The reason for this is that if a chef wants to stay in a place for a long time, he must have a few dishes that can make people shine, otherwise, when the guest or the boss wants you to launch a new dish, you take out all the ordinary dishes, once or twice, there are many times, and it is probably the time for the roll cover to leave.

In addition to the psychology of hiding a hand, Zhou An actually has another thought, which many chefs may have - that is, to open his own shop!

Chefs who don't want to be paid forever generally want to open their own restaurant one day.

Zhou An also had such thoughts, so he usually studied a few dishes that satisfied him.

He hopes that one day when he opens his shop, he will have a few admirable dishes as his signature.

His ex-wife had various grievances against him.

Dissatisfied with his perennial work outside the home, unable to take care of his family at all, unable to accompany her; dissatisfied with his boring personality, usually too little talking, boring; dissatisfied with him is always satisfied with the status quo, no pursuit, with him, there is no hope of a good life.

In the first two points, Zhou An had nothing to say, he really didn't do well.

But on the third point, although he has not refuted it, he does not agree with it in his heart.

Because he has been quietly preparing for the day when he can open his own store.

It's just that his efforts are not taken seriously by her, and every year when he comes home from vacation, he will cook for her and taste the dishes he has worked hard to study.

But every time she praises, it is a foreshadowing to belittle him.

She'll say, "Well, this dish tastes good and looks good!"

Then he sneered, and the conversation changed, "That's all you have to offer, you will cook for the rest of your life! I really regret it! I followed you in the first place, really!"

Every time, Zhou An was speechless.

He had the heart to defend himself, but her look of disgust and remorse would always dispel his thoughts of justification.

Because he knew that he couldn't say anything about her, and her mouth could always find a reason to say that he was useless.

Before they divorced, he was not ready to open his own restaurant, and by the time he was ready and confident that he could open a specialty restaurant, they had already divorced.

Before Zhou An could turn the idea of opening a store into practical action, his father fell ill.

Life is wonderful, and the dishes he prepared for the opening of the restaurant before his rebirth are now used.

So far, it's working out well!

……

When Tian Bencai, Tian Lu and his son came to the front of the store on a motorcycle, they saw the scene that the store was almost full.

Tian Lu's eyes lit up and he smiled, Tian Bencai was very puzzled, frowning and couldn't believe that Zhou An's business was so good on the first day of opening.

Tian Lu put the flower basket they bought after entering the city at the door of the store, and when he turned around, he smiled when he saw his father frowning and puzzled, "Dad, go in! Why are you standing here stupidly?"

Tian Bencai turned his head to look at a few nearby stores, but he didn't see many customers, and then looked at Zhou An's store, eating lobster, drinking beer, talking loudly, and the waiter Xiaomei walking briskly with the dishes......

Tian Bencai still hesitated, "Wild dog, are you sure that this shop is opened by Xiao An?"

Before the opening of this store, Tian Lu came to see it, but Tian Ben only came here for the first time today.

Tian Lu smiled, "That's right, don't worry, Dad! Look at this store, is it newly opened? There is still a big opening reward posted at the door! Look at the signboard on it, is it a rampaging crayfish?"

The confusion in Tian Bencai's eyes subsided a lot, but he quickly frowned and pointed to the signboard on the front of the store, "No! This rampaging crayfish has the words 'fish bites sheep' in front of it, are you sure it's really wrong?"

Tian Lu was helpless and impatient, so he simply went over and pulled him by the arm and dragged him to the store.

"Dad, why didn't I find out that you were so suspicious before? You Cao Cao was reincarnated?

Tian Bencai was pulled into the store by Tian Yu.

As soon as I entered the store, I happened to see Xia Wenjing, who had just come out of the kitchen urging vegetables.

Tian Lu greeted him warmly, and Xia Wenjing also saw them, and took the initiative to greet them with a smile, "Uncle, are you here too? Come in quickly, come in, come in! What do you want to eat? I'll go and let Xiao An cook it for you right away! Uncle, let me tell you, you would never have thought that Xiao An's cooking was so delicious, and these customers in the store were still praising it just now!"

Xia Wenjing is proud and proud.

But in fact, she hasn't tasted the signature dishes in the store, except for crayfish and spiced snails.
