How good was business that night?

It was a little faster in the morning, close to the end of work, Zhou An heard Liu Chao, who was playing lotus, report to Chen Fayin: "Chef, there is nothing to burn for supper tonight, and the meat and vegetarian dishes in the refrigerator and display cabinet are almost sold out, and it is not enough to make a ...... for supper."

I get off work at half past one in the morning every day, and the work meal I eat before half past four in the evening has already been digested, so Zhou'an has always had the habit of eating supper after one in the morning.

And Liu Chao is the head of the lotus, and the beauty of making supper in the early hours of the morning falls on his head.

For the apprentices who play lotus, every opportunity to be in charge of the spoon is a beautiful difference!

The master chef cooks a lot of dishes every day, so he doesn't want to cook work meals, staff supper, or something, and the master chef doesn't want to burn these things, but the apprentices have to fight for their heads.

The swear and tiring work in the kitchen are all apprentices, cleaning, scrubbing the smoker, washing the master's work clothes, making tea, washing rags, etc., doing so much, but the salary and status are still the lowest in the kitchen.

Other positions can get a few thousand a month, but they can only get a few hundred.

What's the picture?

Don't you just want to learn something?

And in the most promising position in the kitchen, who doesn't know that the master with eyes is the chef?

It can be said that every apprentice who plays lotus dreams of one day being a master himself.

And if you want to be a chef, the opportunity to practice is naturally indispensable, this is a technical job that requires hands-on, just follow the master every day, and don't have the opportunity to cook by yourself, what skills can you learn?

Go back and buy raw materials and make it yourself?

Unless you have a fierce stove in the kitchen of the hotel and various supporting facilities, you will not be able to practice any skills. At least I can't practice the craft of being able to cook in a restaurant in the future.

The kitchen knife at home is not as fast as the kitchen, and the cutting board is not as big as the kitchen, these are still small things, and they are willing to spend money, and it doesn't cost much to buy a set.

The key is a full set of facilities such as a fire stove, amphorae, oil basin, and various condiments.

You can cook a dish with the pot stove you use to cook at home, and as soon as you get on the fierce stove in the hotel kitchen, you will immediately catch blindness.

You will find that the pot is not turned over well, the seasoning is not fully placed, the dishes in the pot are mushy, and even a plate of dishes that are made in a hurry cannot be cleanly brought out of the pot when it is plated.

The topic is far away, let's get down to business.

Liu Chao, who was playing lotus, reported to Chen Fayin that there was no food to cook for staff supper tonight.

When Zhou An heard it not far away, he was also stunned.

Chen Fayin also had a little headache, walked over with a wry smile and repeated the matter to him, and then asked him for his opinion.

"Mr. Zhou, do you think you want to forget about tonight's supper, right? Let me tell you, I believe everyone should be able to understand. ”

If you open a restaurant, your business is so good that you have to go hungry......

Several chefs in the kitchen who heard this all smiled wryly, the ingredients prepared today have been doubled, everyone has been busy all night, and they are all hungrier than usual, but they don't have anything to eat?

Zhou An took out a cigarette case, gave Chen Fayin one, and lit one himself, and when a mouthful of smoke came out, he said: "Supper is still for everyone to eat, after all, it's so hard tonight, even if you don't add food, it's too much to let everyone go back to sleep hungry!"

After a pause, he looked at Liu Chao not far away, "Are there any fans in the warehouse?"

Liu Chao was stunned, and quickly replied: "Yes, there are still a lot of fans! There are still a few bundles!"

Zhou An nodded, and looked at Jiang Tao again, "Is there any minced meat in the refrigerator?"

Jiang Tao nodded, "There are still two, three, two, two! But there are many of us, and we definitely don't have enough working meals." ”

At this time, the people in the kitchen who heard this either approached to listen, or listened with their ears pricked up from a distance, anyway, they were all paying attention to see how Zhou An, the boss, planned to solve this matter.

"Where's pork? Is there any pork?"

Zhou An asked again.

"I'll look at ......"

Jiang Tao said, turned around and went to the freezer behind him to look through it, and after a while, he held a piece of frozen pork belly in his hand and showed it to Zhou An from afar, about half a catty, "That's all!"

Zhou An smiled and nodded, "That's enough! You hurry up and chop it into minced meat, and bring it to me with the remaining two or three taels of minced meat!"

Jiang Tao looked down at the hard pork belly in his hand, his face was bitter, such a hard meat, it is not impossible to chop it into minced meat, first cut it into thin slices, then cut it into shreds, then cut it into diced meat, and finally take two knives and chop it with a horseshoe knife, it will definitely be chopped into minced meat.

The problem is that this work is too laborious, and it is more tiring than a dozen or twenty dishes.

But he agreed, who made Zhou An the boss?

The boss spoke, and he dared to say no?

After instructing Jiang Tao, Zhou An instructed Liu Chao again, "You go to the warehouse to move a bundle of vermicelli, roughly estimate that it is enough for everyone to eat for a meal, and then quickly soak it in water, remember to use hot water, otherwise it will not be good for a while!"

"Good!"

Liu Chao agreed and went to the warehouse immediately.

Zhou An said to Zhang Shun again, "You go to the front desk and say that there is no food in the kitchen, if there are any more guests coming to the door, let her explain to the guests clearly, you can't order anymore!"

"Oh, good!"

Zhang Shun got the order, and immediately trotted to the front hall.

At this time, some people in the kitchen had already guessed what Zhou An was going to do, such as Chen Fayin, Tan Guang, Guo Ming and others, and some people still didn't understand what Zhou An wanted fans and minced meat for?

"Mr. Zhou, are you going to be ants on trees?"

Chen Fayin asked with a smile.

Zhou An nodded helplessly, "There's no way, if we open a restaurant, we can't go to other stores to eat working meals, right?" Besides, there are so many of us, and ordinary small shops can't sit down. ”

Minced meat vermicelli, also known as ants on the tree.

The main ingredients are vermicelli and minced meat.

If you put a lot of minced meat, the taste will not be bad, but if you don't have too much minced meat, and you want to make it delicious, it will be a test of craftsmanship.

No, the few chefs in the kitchen who knew about this dish were already shaking their heads with a smile.

Because Jiang Tao has too little minced meat, all of them add up to less than a catty, and there are dozens of employees in the store, and there must be more fans, otherwise there will be not enough to eat.

A few taels of minced meat, roast about 20 catties of vermicelli, can it be delicious?

This kind of thought changed little by little when they witnessed how Zhou An cooked this dish.

The mixed minced meat and garlic stir-fried until fragrant, which is nothing special, and the addition of seasonings such as water chili, soybean paste, and oyster sauce is also expected by them.

But even so, so many fans want to burn the flavor of meat, it's impossible!

Then Zhou An let them see the solution - add broth.

Half a bucket of broth is added to completely submerge the vermicelli in the cauldron, and then other seasonings such as soy sauce and chicken essence are added, and a large pot of vermicelli is boiled in the pot until the soup is bubbling and fragrant.

When they actually ate the dish, they were even more surprised.

The vermicelli is soft but not rotten, because of the soy sauce, each vermicelli is a faint golden yellow, and the golden yellow is dotted with some minced meat and the red of the water pepper, as well as the green green onion.

Although there is very little minced meat, a large pot of vermicelli that many people thought they couldn't eat at all at first was quickly swept away, and there was not enough to eat at all.

Especially the waiters and aunts, who did not hide their surprise at all.

"This vermicelli is delicious!"

"It turns out that the boss is so good! If only he could cook working meals for us every day......

"Hey, you think beautifully! How can a boss cook a working meal every day? Besides, look at the price of the boss's dishes on the menu!"

"I thought I didn't eat it tonight, but it seems that the dishes are all sold out, which is still a good thing! Otherwise, how would we have the chance to eat such delicious fans?"

……

The surprise of the waiters and aunts is expressed in words.

Those chefs also praised them, but they were not as straightforward as those women, but they were not unexpected, which could be felt from the eyes they looked at Zhou An while eating heavily.

Surprise, respect, emotion and other emotions.

Although they have been working together in the same kitchen with Zhou An for several months, there are really only a handful of people who have really tasted Zhou An's craftsmanship.

Even if you have tasted Zhou An's craftsmanship, you will taste braised mutton, white-cut mutton and other big dishes.

They really haven't tasted "side dishes" like ants going up the tree with only a little minced meat.

They are all knowledgeable and know that it is difficult to cook big dishes well, but it is even more difficult to cook "small dishes" well
