Chapter 23: Various Formulations
The so-called product refers to Chen Zhicong taking out a chopstick, putting the chopsticks into the brine, and then taking out the chopsticks, and putting the end of the chopsticks stained with brine into his mouth to taste the taste of the brine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Xiao Chen, what are you doing?" In the kitchen, Aunt Ren saw Chen Zhicong's strange behavior and asked in confusion.
Why didn't this guy eat a pot full of braised vegetables, but instead ate brine?
"The saltiness is high, and the flavor of the sauce is not strong enough, but it is so-so." Chen Zhicong muttered to himself.
Uncle Ren, who had just walked into the kitchen, heard this sentence and immediately asked, "Xiao Chen, didn't you say that you have a unique brine recipe?" Take it out! ”
When Uncle Ren was young, he worked in a roast and marinade shop for a few years, learned some skills secretly, and then opened his own shop for decades, although after decades of exploration, the things he made were not bad, but there was still a certain distance from the professional level, let alone the level of a first-class chef.
I saw Chen Zhicong's cooking skills last night, and when I heard Chen Zhicong say that he was deficient just now, I didn't care, but asked humbly.
"Uncle Ren, you've been using this pot of brine for a long time, and the more you use it, the older it gets, the better the stewed dishes will taste. I think it can still be used for the time being, and after the newly prepared brine is fully formed, it will not be too late to change. Chen Zhicong suggested.
"Okay, it's all up to you." Uncle Ren was completely convinced of Chen Zhicong's cooking skills.
"Well, but you can add a pot of broth made of big bones, don't put salt, and put some other ingredients into this pot of brine, and the things that come out will taste a lot better." Chen Zhicong suggested.
After saying that, Chen Zhicong turned over and turned over a few spices, and then threw them into the water to soak, and after the spices were clean and boiled, Chen Zhicong wrapped them in gauze, tied them and threw the packets of spices into the brine and slowly boiled them together.
After doing this, Chen Zhicong shouted: "Uncle Ren, come on, come on, I'll teach you the recipe for brine." ”
took out a word and a pen, Chen Zhicong quickly wrote the recipe on it, and explained while writing: "This is the recipe for sauce-flavored brine, this is the five-spice recipe, this is the spicy recipe, and this is the salt-baked recipe." ”
The materials, as well as the weight of various materials, Chen Zhicong wrote clearly.
After writing, Chen Zhicong said: "Uncle Ren, come on, come on, I'll teach you authentic roast chicken and roast duck!" ”
After half a ring, a pungent aroma came out of the kitchen, and then Chen Zhicong came out with a roast chicken, and Uncle Ren came out with a roast duck.
"Come, come, come! Let's take a break and try the freshly baked roast chicken and duck! Chen Zhicong shouted loudly.
Two plates of sour plum sauce were laid out, and Uncle Ren clicked a few times with a kitchen knife, and a plate of roast chicken and a plate of roast duck were placed on the table.
The roast chicken and duck were cut into pieces, and the rich aroma inside was even more elegant, and the crowd who had been busy for more than two hours immediately surrounded them.
"Uncle Ren, the roast chicken you made today is so delicious!" Zhang Zitao grabbed a chicken leg in his hand and shouted loudly while eating.
"Anything you eat when you're hungry!" Li Yanhong said that she was busy for more than two hours, and she was indeed hungry and tired.
"However, it tastes much better than usual!" Lu Jiaxin can still tell it, unlike Li Yanhong's big grin.
"Hehe, this is what Xiao Chen instructed me to make, it seems to be much better than my usual!" Uncle Ren said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, there are more, we made a batch of more than a dozen just now!" ”
"Hurry up, let's have another one!" Zhang Zitao just stretched out his hand, but found that the roast chicken and duck on the plate had been swept away.
"Just sit down, I'll get it!" Aunt Ren said with a happy smile, these young people are not only busy with barbecue, but also rush to do a lot of preparations for the snack shop.
The next day was not as busy as usual.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Uncle Ren's snack shop to open, and a few people simply helped in the store until one o'clock in the afternoon, and only after the flow of people was much less did they all go up to busy their own affairs.
Soon, at seven o'clock in the evening, a few tables were set up in front of Uncle Ren's snack shop, and of course, there was a barbecue grill. Several people performed their own duties and began to work separately.
Needless to say, Chen Zhicong was in front of the barbecue grill, and then Lu Jiaxin watched and studied on the side. What several people discussed was that if the barbecue stall business was really good, after Lu Jiaxin resigned, she would mainly rely on her to take care of it, and the others would help.
So the first person to learn from Chen Zhicong was Lu Jiaxin.
Zhang Zitao is a miscellaneous worker, Li Qihong and Li Yanhong are the ones who place orders and serve dishes. The cashier is at the front desk of Uncle Ren, and after the business closes, he will settle the bill together.
The barbecue stall opposite was also set up, and it was obvious that there were already people sitting on the opposite side eating barbecue and drinking beer, but Chen Zhicong had not yet sat down here.
In addition to the fact that many of them are old customers, it is also because the price of Chen Zhicong is obviously higher, about 20% higher.
A few people were ready to come, but as soon as they flipped through the menu, they ran to the opposite side.
"Brother Cong, the situation is not good." Lu Jiaxin said in a low voice.
Although I didn't invest much money, the barbecue grill, ingredients, spices and some tableware only cost a total of seventeen or eight hundred yuan, and at that time, this kind of business on the other side was good, and there was no one here, so no one was comfortable.
"It's okay, wait." Chen Zhicong is not worried, his special chef's skills, coupled with the barbecue made by unique seasonings, unless you don't eat it, you still want to eat it!
It's just that the first wave of customers can't wait.
After calming down for a while, Chen Zhicong grabbed a handful of mutton skewers, lit a charcoal fire, and started the barbecue.
Take a brush to brush each lamb skewer with a layer of vegetable oil, and then evenly sprinkle a layer of special seasoning, soon, the lamb skewers under the charcoal fire emitted a subtle sizzling sound, and an attractive fragrance began to emanate.
In the urban village, when there are more people officially off work at this time, the fragrance is emanating, which quickly attracts many people's attention.
Brush with another layer of oil, sprinkle the seasoning again, and the lamb skewers are grilled a second time. Soon, the tantalizing aroma became even stronger, and then, immediately, someone stopped and asked, "How do you sell lamb skewers?" ”
"Four dollars a string, ten dollars three strings." Chen Zhicong said lightly.
"It's too expensive, ten dollars and five strings on the other side!" The people who are ready to buy are suddenly unhappy, the price difference is too much!
No way, Chen Zhicong This is authentic mutton, according to Uncle Ren, on the opposite side is two pieces of fox meat of more than one pound through special means and marinated mutton essence.
It is precisely because of the low-priced mutton skewers and beef skewers that the business on the other side is so prosperous, and other barbecue varieties are not necessarily much lower than Chen Zhicong's side.
