Tan Guang's brows were still tightened, he stared at Zhou An for a while, and suddenly asked, "Where is your store open?"

Finally hearing him ask such a question, Zhou An smiled.

Because he knew that this meant that Tan Guang had begun to face up to his solicitation.

"It's in the food street, Master Tan, please come with me!"

Zhou An drove the way.

……

About an hour later, Tan Guang rode his bicycle to a mobile phone store called Xunguang on the county pedestrian street, and walked in with a paper bag of fried chestnuts with sugar and a cup of bubble tea.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the mobile phone store was deserted, except for an apple-faced woman sitting behind the cash register, bored and in a daze.

Seeing Tan Guang enter the door, the woman rolled her eyes and sneered: "You asked you to buy me something, it took you more than an hour, Tan Guang! Did you go to an alien planet to buy it for me?"

Tan Guang frowned, didn't answer his girlfriend's words, walked over and put chestnuts and milk tea on the cash register in front of her, sighed, and stopped talking.

The woman's ability to observe words and emotions is not weak, seeing Tan Guang's expression, she reached out to take the milk tea, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong? It can't be that something happened on the road, right?"

"When you called me to go shopping, someone approached me and wanted to poach me to cook in his shop!"

Tan Guang frowned and hesitated to say this.

"Oh, that's a good thing, what? Looking at your tangled appearance, the man's salary doesn't seem to be low?" the woman's eyes lit up, and she asked with interest.

"I started to think that he was called by someone to entertain me, so when he asked me to pay a salary, I said 4000, but I didn't expect him to agree in one bite!"

"4,000? 1,200 higher than you are now? So what are you hesitating about? Hurry up and agree! What's the matter?

The woman was so excited that she forgot to drink milk tea.

Tan Guang smiled slightly wryly, "It doesn't matter if I'm tired or not, as long as the salary is high enough, it's okay for me to work 12 hours a day, it's just that the ......person is very young, only sixteen or seventeen years old at most!

"That's ......"

The woman frowned and hesitated a little, the identity of the master of Tan Guang Regent Hotel was also one of the reasons why she accepted his pursuit in the first place, and it was also because of his identity that when she took him home to meet his parents, although his parents had some complaints about his family in Guangdong Province, they were not dissatisfied with anything else.

If Tan Guang was just a chef in a small shop, not to mention that she wouldn't think about it herself, her parents probably wouldn't agree.

"Then what do you think?" she tossed the question back to Tan Guang.

"I'm thinking! After all, the salary is so much higher......"

"That's right, it's almost half of your current salary, Ah Guang, you are so entangled, do you want to go?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, by the way, that shop is for supper, and it's open until half past one in the morning, or why don't we go and have a look at it after I get off work tonight?"

"Okay, you'll pick me up then!"

"No problem!"

……

After taking Tan Guang to visit his store, Zhou An posted a new notice outside the store to recruit apprentices, and then went to the residential area behind the food street to rent a three-bedroom and two-hall rental house.

Compared with the high rent of the façade house on this side of the food street, the rent of this three-bedroom and two-living room residential house with a total of more than 100 square meters is much cheaper, 4,000 a year, and on average, only 333 yuan per month

Moreover, there is a lot of furniture in the house, pots and pans in the kitchen, etc., are also available.

Of course, this cheapness is only relative to the rent of those storefronts in the food street.

For ordinary migrant workers, or people from rural areas, such rents are still high, and ordinary people are reluctant to rent at all.

It is precisely because ordinary people are reluctant to rent such a big house that Zhou An found this house very easily.

After renting the house, Zhou An went to the vegetable market to buy some utensils for the store.

For example, stainless steel vats.

Last night's business was so good, which gave him confidence and further fueled his ambition.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to dig Tan Guang with a high salary today, as long as Tan Guang could dig him, he wouldn't have to worry about the quality of the dishes in his small shop.

He is responsible for the big dishes, and Zhou An is confident in his cooking skills.

The other dishes were handed over to Tan Guang, and he was also very confident.

Some people think that cooking is difficult, but Zhou An's own experience is: if you put your heart into it, it is not difficult!

Tan Guang's almost morbid requirements for his own dishes, although he has not been in charge for a long time, the level of fried vegetarian dishes is still good.

Digging Tan Guang is Zhou An's move.

Zhou An also has a move, which is soup!

What kind of soup stock is stock?

For most outsiders, this is a very unfamiliar term, but for every qualified chef, even if they don't know how to hang dashi, at least they have heard of it.

Because this is a must-have for every big hotel that pursues the quality of dishes.

Some century-old shops, when they advertise to the outside world, are very proud that they have a pot of broth that has not been extinguished for a hundred years.

This shows how important the dashi is.

Chinese cuisine has a long history, but many condiments such as chicken essence and monosodium glutamate have only appeared in modern times, so how did our ancients make the dishes delicious?

There are certainly many ways to do this, but soup stock is definitely a big killer!

The so-called soup stock is also known as paste soup.

It is a type of soup that can solidify into a paste on its own after cooling.

Add a spoonful when stir-frying vegetarian dishes, and the taste of the dish can be immediately improved.

When making soup, add two spoonfuls to also enhance the deliciousness of a bowl of soup.

The effect of the soup stock is very good, but in general, except for large hotels, small hotels and small restaurants generally do not use it, not because they don't want to use it, but because they can't afford it! Moreover, the chef of a small restaurant may not be able to hang out an excellent pot of broth.

Hanging soup requires technology, and the cost of hanging soup is also difficult for some small hotels to afford.

The most basic point is to try to stay out of the fire 24 hours a day.

Because the longer the soup stock is hung, the better, and once the fire is turned off, it is fine in winter, but if the weather is hot, especially in summer, the soup can easily become rancid, and if it is rancid, it will be wasted.

The cost of a pot of soup is not small, you must know the materials of hanging broth, at least you have to add some chicken bones, pork bones, beef bones or something.

The cost of a pot of hanging broth is one or two hundred yuan.

If enough materials are used and the cost is even higher.

How many small restaurants are willing to bear such a high cost of broth? A pot of broth can not be used for a long time, and new raw materials must be added every day to continue to hang, otherwise if only water is added without adding materials, soon a pot of broth will be dull and tasteless.

Last night, the business in the store was very good, which gave Zhou An confidence and stimulated his ambition, and he decided to hang the soup stock in his small shop.

He wants to further improve the quality of the food in the store.
