Sunshine Community, outside the small courtyard on the first floor, Wang Ming hung up the phone, since the light rain, the Sunshine Community has not seen the sun for several days, the sky outside the glass roof is still a little gray, with the continuous light rain, the weather has cooled.

Since the shrimp eat shrimp shabu business is stable, Wang Ming has the idea of opening a branch, different from the crab heaven and crab land, the dish model of shrimp eating shrimp shabu, mainly relying on Wang Ming's exclusive spicy sauce, as for the chef's cooking techniques, although it is also very important, but for some details, it is much easier to control, and the civilian restaurant chain is the mainstream of today's catering, similar to the rich area like Meijiang, after all, it is still a minority.
With the location of the two branches, 50 high-quality talents who have just graduated from the Second Business Institute are enough to make the two branches operate normally.
In these three days, in addition to the necessary life, Wang Ming's mind is almost all on the study of the dishes of the Confucian branch of Lu cuisine, and occasionally makes some comparisons with the cooking techniques of the Jiaodong and Jinan branches, and strives to learn more experience from it, and the private small kitchen under the glass roof has completely become a battlefield for Wang Ming to try his craft, every day, there will be a variety of fragrances permeating it, and under such attempts, Wang Ming's familiarity with Lu cuisine is more profound. Even the dishes and cooking techniques of the two branches of Jiaodong and Jinan have some nuanced understanding.
There are still ten days before the end of the month, most of Wang Ming's energy, can only be put on the study of Lu cuisine, for all matters of the new store decoration, have been handed over to Yu Hai to deal with, Yu Hai, who has more than ten years of work experience, has a familiar and understanding of various details of the catering industry that ordinary people can hardly reach, which is really a great help to Wang Ming.
And even if the time is pressing, Wang Ming still took some time to boil the spicy shrimp pot base in large quantities, and at the same time, he is also thinking about making it more perfect, wanting to make the shrimp eat shrimp shabu the fastest to create the market, so as to prepare for the future joining.
When Wang Ming drove the car to the front of the store, the originally empty parking spaces were almost occupied, and through the huge glass window, you can see that the heat in the hotel is rising, and the glass is covered with a layer of faint white gas, blocking people's vision.
Parking the car on the side of the road, Wang Ming walked down, took a deep breath of slightly cool air, and then walked towards the gate.
As soon as he entered it, Wang Ming's lively scene came into view, and the lobby on the left and right sides was full, and the diners were happily enjoying the temptation brought by the food, and most of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.
After greeting Li Mei, Wang Ming walked directly into the kitchen, and as soon as he entered it, Han Fei greeted him.
"Mr. Wang, you're here." Han Fei opened his mouth and said, after seeing with his own eyes the crab sky and crab land and shrimp eating shrimp shabu made by Wang Ming, there was no longer the previous touch of coldness.
"Well, are you all ready?" Wang Ming opened his mouth and said, took the work uniform handed by the younger brother on the side, and put it on the outside.
"According to your going, everything is ready, and the remaining spicy pot base should be enough for today." Han Fei said again, making Wang Ming nod, he groaned slightly, and his gaze fell on Han Fei's body.
"Let's come along." Wang Ming said again, and took the lead in walking towards the operation room that was specially used to boil the base material on the side, while Han Fei was slightly stunned, a smile appeared on his face, and then he walked in.
On the cooking table in the small operation room, the fresh-keeping box has prepared all kinds of materials needed for the bottom of the pot, and after Wang Ming's eyes swept them one by one, he nodded in silence.
The base of the spicy shrimp pot is boiled mainly by chicken fat and chili peppers, with an appropriate amount of spice powder and seasonings.
After the chili pepper in front of you is cleaned, soaked in warm water, salvaged to control the moisture, and broken into a viscous chili sauce with a blender, and the warm water used to soak the chili pepper is also retained.
Fennel, grass fruit, cinnamon, monk fruit, sand kernels, cinnamon are dried in a clean wok, ground into powder and stirred together, as for the rest of the seasonings, except for a few traditional canned spicy sauces, the rest are commonly used household seasonings.
"This is the material list, you check it again, and take the missing materials now." Looking at Han Fei who followed up on the side, Wang Ming took out the list of base recipes from his pocket and handed it directly to Han Fei's hand, which made Han Fei stunned again and nodded in surprise.
"If you just said that you would have learned something different, what would we have been fighting in the ring? It seems that I made the right choice at the beginning, and I just gave me such an important formula after not following you for a month. Han Fei's gaze swept over the formula in his hand and said to Wang Ming.
"That's what I've always done, I don't suspect people and don't use them, and you think that even if I give you all the formulas, you'll be sure to make the same thing? And don't you doubt that the recipe is still incomplete? Wang Ming smiled, and when he said again, Han Fei was also dumbfounded, then nodded and began to check carefully.
"There are still a few materials missing, I'm going to prepare them now." After carefully checking, Han Fei shook his head with a smile, said to Wang Ming, and as his voice fell, he turned around and walked directly outside.
Wang Ming lit the wok, and there was half a barrel of cooking oil in the stainless steel barrel of the 35 model, which was slightly dark yellow in color, and obviously added a certain degree of rapeseed oil.
Between Wang Ming's hot oil, Han Fei walked in again, holding a bottle of liquor in his hand, and under Wang Ming's guidance, poured it into the spice powder, stirred it well, and sealed it with plastic wrap.
"Sometimes, one less link and process, seemingly insignificant, can be made, has invisibly changed the quality, so the dishes to be cooked, must be rigorous, attentive, only in this way, can be worthy of the white work clothes on the body." Wang Ming opened his mouth to speak, and then pointed to the stainless steel barrel on the stove.
"In addition to 20 catties of edible oil, another 10 catties of rapeseed oil are added, and when the oil temperature rises to 30% hot, add butter to melt, put in bean paste, and then put all the onions, ginger and garlic into it, boil and fry it until it is golden brown, and salvage it." Wang Ming said, watching the mixed oil in the barrel begin to heat up, put the butter in the side into it, as the flame whined, the oil temperature gradually rose, and there were three catties of green onions, ginger and garlic on the side, which were also put into it for frying.
The temperature of the oil in the barrel rose, and it kept tumbling, and with the large handbook in Wang Ming's hand, it was stirred, and gradually, the smell of green onions was the first to spread.
"During the boiling process, it is necessary to stir at all times, so that the onions, ginger and garlic in it can be heated evenly, and the flavor can also be volatilized to the extreme, so as to prevent the bean paste from grabbing the pot." Wang Ming said again, and Han Fei on the side nodded lightly, he also understood what Wang Ming said, he understood the truth that the master is a teacher, Wang Ming does have his advantages in the understanding and application of the kitchen, at least, the role and technique of mixing spices with liquor, he doesn't know where the mystery is.
After all the green onions, ginger and garlic were fried into golden brown and salvaged by Wang Ming, the stirred chili peppers on the side were also put into the pot, and after stirring, they were still boiled over low heat, and at the same time, the spices mixed with the liquor were also added to it, and they continued to boil over low heat.
The oil in the pot was constantly churning, bubbling with fine bubbles, and a spicy smell mixed with a faint aroma of liquor began to spread in the small operation room.
"Although these spices are dried and milled into powder, the fragrance in them can only emit about fifty percent of the effect after heating, and once it is soaked and combined with liquor, it can volatilize the fragrance contained in it to the extreme, and the effect of liquor fragrance enhancement is very unique." As if seeing Han Fei's doubts, Wang Ming stirred the soup bucket while opening his mouth to Han Fei, and as his voice fell, Han Fei also nodded seriously.
"The bottom of the pot is boiled for about two hours, and during this time, you need to be careful not to let the sauce catch the bottom, so you need to stir it all the time, which is a hard work." Wang Ming spoke again, and Han Fei smiled understandingly, and immediately stepped forward to take the handwritten copy from Wang Ming's hand.
Time passed slowly, in the small operation room, the two alternated mixing buckets, chatting a few words from time to time, and with the in-depth understanding, Han Fei was secretly surprised in his heart, through this short conversation, Wang Ming's insights and techniques for many kitchen cooking techniques surprised him, he really couldn't imagine how this teenager, who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, did it be so perverted.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and in the small operation room, a rich spicy smell filled it, even if the exhaust fan was spinning desperately, it couldn't hide the spicy smell, Wang Ming turned off the flame, and let out a long breath.
"The taste is really unique." Han Fei said with some sighs, his eyes withdrew from the red and fragrant soup bucket, and said to Wang Ming on the side.
"This is an exclusive recipe, and the glorious task of boiling the bottom of the pot will be handed over to you in the future." Wang Ming said with a smile, while Han Fei nodded, and the two left the operation room together and appeared outside the kitchen.
"If you have time out in the past two days, boil a few more barrels according to this recipe..."Seeing that Han Fei's face was a little weird, Wang Ming smiled and added.
"It's always right to be skilled." (To be continued.) )
