Chapter 129: Busy

When Hu Xingyu, who was full of food and drink, came out of Zhou An's store, his expression was more complicated than when he entered the store.

A fish bite sheep, a Wuxi sauce pork rib and a salt-and-pepper lamb's trotter made him realize the reason why the same store was booming, but he closed the store.

When the fish bite sheep was first served, he wanted to get angry, thinking that this dish was like the peerless Shuangjiao (fried red pepper with green pepper) and Xiao Erhei Marriage (two marinated eggs in soy sauce) launched by some unscrupulous restaurants, and it was completely a trick on the name.

When the swear words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, because he thought that he and Zhou An also knew each other, and when he transferred this store, it was also pleasant, and he just opened today, so he should give some face.

But at that time, he was upset, for sure.

But when he was disappointed to put a piece of fish meat into his mouth, the delicious and unusual taste made his expression freeze.

It's just a dish of braised mandarin fish, why is it so fresh? Why does it seem to have the umami taste of mutton?

At that time, he thought about it again and again, and thought that maybe this dish was roasted with mutton soup, and it was a bit creative to roast fish with mutton soup......

He was in a better mood at the time, and when he inadvertently ate minced mutton from the belly of the fish, he felt that he had opened his eyes, how could the fish still be so hot?

But in this way, the name of this fish bite sheep is more appropriate.

After the Wuxi sauce pork ribs and salt-and-pepper lamb trotters, Hu Xingyu ate and ate, so he didn't have the heart to compare his cooking skills, the gap was too big, and he didn't want to continue to look for abuse.

It's better to simply enjoy the food.

However, the pleasure is always short-lived, and when he comes out of the store after eating those few delicacies, the breeze that is still a little hot outside blows, and frustration and loss occupy his heart again.

He loves the food, but probably won't come back in the future.

The better the business here, the more unpleasant it was in his heart.

……

Zhou An has been busy in the back kitchen, and he didn't know that Hu Xingyu had been here, let alone that Hu Xingyu had wanted to get angry.

It's like he's back to the state he was in before he was reborn, busy in the kitchen, but now he's even busier, and he doesn't even have an apprentice behind him.

Some dishes that need to be starched, pasted or powdered, he has to do it himself.

Even after a dish is out of the pot, he has to do it himself.

Although he was busy, he was happy in his heart.

He has decided that if such a booming business can continue until after September 1, he will hire another stir-fry master to help stir-fry some small stir-fries, vegetables, as well as fried rice and noodles.

He had to hurry up and find an apprentice to work hard, even if the business couldn't be so prosperous all the time, he decided to find an apprentice as soon as possible.

When I was in charge, no one was in charge, which was too painful, and the efficiency of the food was greatly affected.

Zhou An was busy until after half past nine in the evening.

After half past nine, the workbench behind him was finally empty, and Xiao Jiang had no more food to match, so tonight's peak should have passed.

Scooping a small spoonful of chili sauce and pouring it on a stinky tofu that had just been fried, Zhou An motioned to Zhou Jian, who had just been free, to go to the front hall, then casually untied the apron around his waist, wiped the sweat on his face with the white towel around his neck, and took out his cigarette while leaving the stove, and smiled at Da Luo and Xiao Jiang, "I didn't expect it to open just today, business is so good, the two masters have worked hard!"

While saying kind words, he smoked Da Luo and Xiao Jiang.

Da Luo and Xiao Jiang were also busy with stinky sweat.

Of course, there is no air conditioning in this small kitchen, and ordinary air conditioning cannot reduce the temperature of such a hot kitchen.

"It's better to be busy! Get busy, Xiao Jiang and I don't have to worry about being here for a short time, and we have to find a job again!"

Da Luo took the cigarette with a smile and said it nicely.

Xiao Jiang smiled shyly, and when he took the cigarette, he whispered: "Thank you, boss!"

"Call me Anko!

has seen Xiao Jiang's side dish ability, and Zhou An is also a lot more polite to him.

When Xiao Jiang came to apply for a job a few days ago, although he asked him to try knife work, he couldn't try too many things to try knife work.

Some masters have good knife skills, but the speed of the side dishes is not good, others are busy, he is still like a cow dragging a broken car, not in a hurry, and some masters, the knife skills are also good, and the speed of cutting vegetables is also okay, but the brain is not bright, obviously he is also busy to death, but the speed of his side dishes is not able to keep up with the speed of the master in charge of cooking, and the master needs to stand on the stove and wait for him to prepare the dishes.

Why?

In fact, to put it bluntly, it's nothing, it's just that when it comes to side dishes, it's not good to assign which dish to match first and which dish to go with later.

At this point, Zhou An has found that Xiao Jiang's awareness in this regard is good.

I know that the dishes that are easy to match, but not easy to burn first, are ready for him first, such as Wuxi sauce pork ribs, such as fish biting sheep, etc., these big dishes, he is simple to match, just take them, but Zhou An can't cook them well for a while.

At that time, Zhou An already had a lot of dishes waiting to be cooked, and Xiao Jiang had a lot of time to cut shredded potatoes and green peppers in a hurry.

Seeing this, some people may say: Isn't this easy? What side dish master wouldn't do that? Is it difficult?

Not to mention, Zhou An has been a chef for so many years, and he has really met many side dish masters who have a bad grasp of this aspect.

Especially when you enter a new store and are faced with an unfamiliar menu.

You must know that the dishes on the menu of Zhou An's new store were all arranged by Zhou An.

Every dish, he is very familiar with it himself, but Xiao Jiang, who has just arrived, may not be familiar with all of them, even if he has carefully talked to Xiao Jiang, it is difficult to say how much he can remember.

is unfamiliar with the menu, and can also grasp the order of each dish, Zhou An knows the difficulty.

Therefore, he is very satisfied with Xiao Jiang's performance in the next few hours tonight.

"Boss, let's go out and breathe, shall we?

When Da Luo lit a cigarette, he smiled and proposed.

"Okay, let's go!"

Zhou An is as good as a stream, he was very hungry before, but now he is not hungry, because he is too hungry, at this moment, it is rare to be free, and he also wants to go out to breathe fresh air.

Xiao Jiang didn't say much, and followed behind them with a smile.

Only Aunt Li, who was in charge of washing vegetables and dishes, couldn't leave, and had to continue to wash dishes on the side of the water platform, which was already full of leftover cups, plates, and chopsticks from the guests.

She was also very tired tonight, not to mention anything else, just to be a mandarin fish that bites a sheep, she killed more than a dozen by herself, and her fingers were cut out of a small hole by the fins on the mandarin fish.
