After the meeting, the kitchen began to be busy, except for the dishwashing aunt who was temporarily empty, everyone was very busy.

The cutter was busy chopping the chicken and duck into pieces and processing them in advance for several spoon masters.

Zhou An wants to hang duck soup here.

Chen Fayin, Guo Ming and Tan Guang are also making preparations, or preparing various spices for braised dishes, or making edges for the plate in advance.

Chen Fayin also took the time to inspect and supervise the work of everyone in the kitchen, and saw that the aunt who washed the dishes was idle for the time being, so he went over and asked her to wash the vegetables for the aunt who washed the vegetables first, and then help her wash the dishes when the aunt was not busy.

Guo Ming went to prepare the spices for roasting chicken and duck.

It is Tan Guang who makes the edge of the plate, now the store is bigger, and today is the first day of opening, Zhou An knows that he has the technology of the edge, and discussed with him two days ago, after the new store opens, let Tan Guang make a few sides when he is free, and use it when the big dish is out of the pot.

The edge technology is not used in small restaurants, it is more time-consuming, and ordinary chefs do not have this technology.

As far as Zhou An knows, some chefs are accustomed to using various vegetables as raw materials, cutting and spelling out various shapes, and posing around the plate.

Or put it in the shape of flowers, birds, fish and beasts, or put it into rockeries and other things.

There are also chefs who use a variety of paints to paint directly around the plate.

In Zhou An's memory, Tan Guang would use both techniques.

Today, Tan Guang uses vegetables, as if he is an artist, and he is working the workbench.

These masters are busy, and a few of them are naturally idle, moving dishes and plates, taking tin foil and iron plates, and cutting small materials.

The so-called small ingredients, generally refers to the ginger, onion and garlic used in the stir-fry, a rough kitchen, the small ingredients will be cut roughly, the old ginger does not peel, directly cut into large slices, each garlic only cut two or three knives, cut into an irregular shape on OK, shallots directly cut into green onions.

And Zhou An's requirements are relatively high, the old ginger should be cut out of two specifications, one is the rectangular large slice after the slice, the kind with a regular shape, the other is peeled, cut into diamond-shaped slices the size of a fingernail; garlic should also be cut into two specifications, one is to cut each garlic into more than a dozen small slices of uniform thickness, the other is to chop into garlic paste; shallots also need to be cut into two specifications, one is the green onion segment of the length of a matchstick, and the other is the common green onion.

When he was in the old store before, Zhou An's requirements were not so high, but now he is naturally a little more refined.

And where is the finesse reflected?

Knife work and small materials are the embodiment of finesse.

Plating and rimming are also a direction.

The rest is up to the master chef to perform.

Zhou An just put the duck out of the soup bucket and hung it, and Liang Yu brought pork and mutton.

I also sent mutton today, because Zhou An was worried that a sheep made last night would not be enough to sell today, and after a sheep was slaughtered, there was not much net meat, including the internal organs, sheep's head, and sheep's hooves, which were generally only forty or fifty catties.

However, on the menu of the new restaurant, there are more dishes of mutton.

There are mutton pot boys, mutton in white soup, mutton haggis soup, white-cut mutton, salt-and-pepper lamb trotters and salt-and-pepper lamb chops and so on.

The roasted mutton has shrunk severely, and if the mutton sells well tonight, one sheep may not be enough to sell.

So when he received the sheep yesterday, Zhou An and Liang Yu agreed to send another one today.

……

Zhou An was busy until three o'clock in the afternoon, and he needed some dishes prepared by him himself to get it.

"Give me the car keys! I'll go home. ”

After finishing the business at hand for the time being, Zhou An patted Tian Lu on the shoulder and asked him for the car keys.

"Oh, good!"

Tian Lu was stunned, and hurriedly took out the key to the electric tricycle and gave it to Zhou An.

This morning, Tian Lu went to Zhoujia Village to pick up crayfish and snails, and did not bring Zhou An's parents over, and Zhou An asked him what was going on at that time?

Tian Lu said that his parents said that they would not come today, saying that it was the first day of opening today, and there must be a lot of people in his store, so they would not come to trouble him.

Originally, Zhou An was not unacceptable for this reason.

But Tian Lu then added: "Your mother told me, her face is fine, she talks and laughs, but your father is smoking next to me and is silent." ”

Tian Lu just explained to Zhou An why he didn't bring his parents over, Tian Lu may not have thought much about it, but these words were in Zhou An's ears, he knew his parents, and when he listened to Tian Lu's explanation, he didn't say anything.

But in fact, the matter was in his heart.

His intuition told him that there might be a problem.

Otherwise, why did my father smoke and keep quiet? Before, it was obviously my father who took the initiative to mention it with great interest, saying that when the new store opened, they would come to see it.

But when it came to the end today, why did they suddenly change their minds?

Zhou An took the time to call her mother, and her mother's tone on the phone was a little unnatural, but she insisted that she just didn't want to cause him trouble today.

People often say: Knowing the son Mo Ruo Father, or Mo Ruo Mother, in fact, is it not the same as the other way around?

As a child, if you have the heart, you will also know your parents very well.

The unnaturalness of his mother's tone made Zhou Anxin even more suspicious, and at this time, the work at hand was temporarily busy, and he wanted to go back and see.

He didn't want his parents to be unhappy at home on such a big day.

After being reborn, he changed a lot, but that filial piety never changed.

Everything he did, in addition to realizing his own value, was actually to comfort his parents and make them proud of his son.

The weather outside today is good, there is sun, but after all, it is winter, even if there is sun, driving on the road in an open-top electric tricycle, I still feel cold.

When he came out of the kitchen, Zhou An was so busy that his forehead was sweating.

When I got home with the power on three rounds, I was so stunned that my face was pale and my hands and feet were cold.

"What's the matter? Dad, didn't you say you'd go to my new store today? Why do you want me to come back and pick it up? What's the situation?"

As soon as he got home, he saw his father sitting at the door frowning, basking in the sun and smoking a cigarette, so Zhou An went up to ask him.

"Xiao An, your new store opened today, aren't you busy, why did you come back at this time?"

Before Zhou Taihu could say anything, Zhou An's mother Tian Guifang trotted out of the house and asked him in surprise.

"Humph!"

Zhou Taihu snorted coldly, showing his sense of existence.

Zhou An looked at him, and then at his mother, who looked like usual, and frowned, "Dad, Mom, what are you doing? Knowing that I'm busy today, why do you want me to do something? It's okay at home today, why are you staying at home? Hurry up and pack up and follow me! I'm busy there!"

Zhou Taihu snorted coldly again, "Don't go! Your mother said, let's not go today!"

A sulking expression.

"You...... What do you mean by me? It's not like you can't say you can't do it?"

Tian Guifang's face turned a little red, and he pointed at Zhou Taihu angrily.

Zhou Taihu glanced at her, then at his son who was pale from the cold, his face eased out of anger, and he barely squeezed out a smile, "Yes, I said it, Anzi, you are busy in the store, go back and be busy! I and your mother will not go today, you can go back quickly!"
