Chapter 22 Food Pretreatment

After a lap home from the vegetable market, it was close to 7 o'clock.

Pushing the door into the house, Qin Jianguo was washing up in the bathroom, Qin Feng put the two big baskets on the ground, shook his sour arm, and hurriedly put a few packets of quick-frozen ingredients into the refrigerator.

Qin Feng's refrigerator is basically a furnishing on weekdays, and only in the summer will he occasionally put uneaten dishes in it, and the rest of the time, it is almost no different from empty. In the past, Qin Jianguo wanted to pull the plug of the refrigerator several times, but he was stopped by Qin Feng, because whether it was in his previous life or now, Qin Feng felt that if a family even had to save the electricity bill of the refrigerator, then there would be no hope for this day.

The empty refrigerator was filled with the ingredients Qin Feng bought in a blink of an eye, and there were even some ingredients that could no longer be stuffed in. Qin Jianguo finished grinding in the bathroom, came out and looked at the two big empty baskets that Qin Feng had placed on the ground, and then opened the refrigerator door to see that his mouth was almost dislocated.

"Buy so many ......," Qin Jianguo said in surprise.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "This is bought according to the amount of one and a half times. ”

"Once and a half?" Qin Jianguo was confused again.

Qin Feng explained: "I bought a lot of ingredients, and I definitely can't use them up at one time, and some of them are bought according to the amount of one time, so if the stall is finished in the morning, I have to go to the vegetable market once in the afternoon, isn't this just one and a half?"

Qin Jianguo's mind was not fully sober when he woke up in the morning, and after thinking about it for a long time and finally figured it out, he couldn't help but wonder again: "Then why don't you just buy the portion twice?"

"Our refrigerator is too small to fit, and my two baskets can only hold so much, and the hardware is tight. Qin Feng said as he spoke, took out the cutting board and the pure steel kitchen knife he just bought a few days ago, and put the pork ribs on the cutting board.

Qin Jianguo, who was originally going to cook noodles, watched Qin Feng cut pork chops in an extremely familiar way, looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh again: "I called the master Tang who took you yesterday, and he said that it would be a pity that you didn't continue to learn with him, and he said that you can become a good chef in the future." ”

Qin Feng grinned and didn't answer Qin Jianguo's words.

Qin Jianguo sighed, seeing that the kitchen was no longer usable, he simply didn't bother to eat at home, and said: "I'm going to the unit, you should be careful when you go out, don't forget to close the doors and windows, and remember to turn off the plug switch and gas." ”

Qin Feng silently listened to Qin Jianguo's chatter, hummed lightly, and said, "Got it." ”

Qin Jianguo went out, and Qin Feng continued to work.

In the two months that he worked in the hotel, Qin Feng had indeed learned a lot. For example, he never knew that in order for something to be cooked deliciously, the preparation before it is put into the pot is even more important than when it is cooked in the pot. If you can't prepare the ingredients correctly, the resulting flavor will definitely not be too good.

Compared with the complex dishes of the hotel, the skewers that Qin Feng wants to sell are naturally much easier to handle, but simple is simple, because there are too many things, it still takes a lot of time.

Qin Feng made a sequence of the processing of the skewers, and the first thing that needed to be processed was beef and pork. These two things are not easy to preserve, they must be cooked as soon as they are fresh, and secondly, they are also ranked in the top two of Qin Feng's all types of skewers, first difficult and then easy, which is Qin Feng's consistent way of doing things.

The amount of pork chops and pork was not much, and after Qin Feng finished cutting it, he washed it with water first, and then left it to dry, while at the same time, he took the beef out of the refrigerator and diced it.

Before 2000, Qin Feng had never seen fried beef at a stall selling fried skewers, and he just didn't understand it before, but now, Qin Feng has a more in-depth understanding of this problem. For the average hawker, they can only slice or cut into pieces at most, but the taste of the slice is not good, and it shrinks after frying, and the volume will appear too small, but if it is cut, the cost of each skewer is too high, and it is not easy to sell.

So when it comes to the processing of beef, the best thing to do is to dice.

Qin Feng's current knife skills are barely passing, so as long as he gets serious and cuts the beef into small cubes of one centimeter, it will not be a difficult task.

The 1 catty of beef bought in the morning was cut into more than 100 small dices by Qin Feng several times, and Qin Feng concocted it in the same way, cleaned the beef with water, and then put it on the table, and waited for it to dry slightly with the large chops and small chops.

Taking advantage of this drying effort, Qin Feng took out the taro and washed it, and then threw it directly into the pressure cooker.

Here is boiling taro, on the other side Qin Feng dismantles the flour and starts to mix the noodles, what Qin Feng wants to do is the twentieth item of goods from the stall today - dumpling skin.

A pack of flour for 3 yuan can roll out about 100 dumpling wrappers. Dumpling wrappers are sold, 10 pieces for one dollar, and a bag of flour can make at least 5 yuan after Qin Feng's treatment, Qin Feng bought 3 packs of flour generously, as if he was serving the low-class wholeheartedly.

But in fact, Qin Feng had other plans for these dumpling skins.

If you take small pieces of diced beef as the filling, of course, you can make zuò "beef dumplings" with dumpling skins, which are similar to signature dishes, and it is definitely possible to create a batch of hardcore fans from small stalls. Qin Feng made a sauce with sweet noodle sauce and apple cider vinegar a few days ago, which was specially used to line this beef dumpling.

Qin Feng's movements were very quick, he made a large ball of noodles in 10 minutes, and when he woke up, he turned off the pressure cooker, poured out all the taro, and then spread it densely on the cutting board.

Qin Feng cooked the taro in advance, not to start the pot when it was time to sell, he actually wanted to make taro cakes.

After crushing the taro one by one with the back of a knife, Qin Feng mixed the taro, flour and egg white, and then stirred it with his hands, and when the paste gradually became viscous, Qin Feng began to heat the oil. Kneaded into a cake-like paste, and then wrapped in another layer of starch on the outside, as soon as the thing is put into the oil pan, it emits the unique aroma of starch food.

After a while, 20 pieces of taro cakes came out of the pot, Qin Feng spread the taro cakes on the table and let them cool, and then poured all the diced beef that had been dried into the pot in one go.

Hundreds of diced beef sinked in the pot, crackling together with the water poured into it, Qin Feng stood in the distance and waited for half a minute before picking up the spatula and stirring it in the oil pot.

The large beef grains are easy to cook, not to mention the high oil temperature, only fried for less than 5 minutes, Qin Feng hurriedly scooped up all the things, in terms of cost, so many things bought today, this pot is the most expensive, only 100 pieces, at most about 25 strings, it actually takes 20 yuan to buy, and Qin Feng can't sell it at a high price, otherwise this signature dish will become unsalable.

The meat dishes should be cooked first, and the vegetarian dishes should be washed, and after they are cleaned, they must be skewered one by one.

Qin Feng was busy from 7 o'clock in the morning to nearly 11 o'clock, seeing that he was about to leave school in half an hour, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath after finishing it, he hurriedly put things into an aluminum plate and wrapped them in plastic wrap, and then carried two large bags with various things, and hurriedly went downstairs.
