Chapter 208: Division of Labor
But even so, when faced with hundreds of ducks that need to be plucked in the shortest possible time, they still feel very powerless!!
Zhang Hai and Yu Kangning spent half a night, almost numbly plucking duck feathers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info thanks to Fu Yonghan also joining in halfway, teaching them some skills at the same time, it also greatly accelerated the speed of plucking duck feathers.
Otherwise, with Zhang Hai and Yu Kangning's miserable plucking speed, I am afraid that they will spend the whole night on this simple plucking of duck feathers.
After the duck is plucked and processed, it has to be set aside to dry the water. However, there are a lot of old ducks slaughtered, and after the ducks in the back are processed, the ducks in front are almost dried.
While Fu Yonghan was processing the duck's internal organs, Zhang Hai and Yu Kangning were preparing green onions, ginger slices, red dates, cordyceps and other things. These things are put into the processed old duck belly, and finally the duck belly is sealed with a toothpick.
Until this time, the duck filled with ingredients and herbs can be stewed in the pot. When simmering, add salt and cooking wine at the same time, put each duck into its own small casserole, and then put the small casserole into a large pot filled with water before simmering.
Hundreds of small casseroles with ducks have to be stewed in batches in large pots.
Or because the back kitchen of Yongji Restaurant is not big enough, and the kitchenware is limited, so it can't be busy at all if you don't divide it into batches.
The meat of the old duck is relatively hard, and if the stewing time is not enough, the duck meat will be difficult to bite, and it will be stuffed between the teeth, and the ingredients and herbs inside are not easy to taste.
So after half a day had passed, Fu Yonghan came over to look at the old duck soup that seemed to be forgotten in these corners.
Seeing that the duck was almost stewed, Fu Yonghan poured the dried bamboo shoots prepared in advance into it and continued to stew.
Looking at the dried bamboo shoots in the pot, Fu Yonghan still sighed a little in her heart.
If there is time and the income is high enough, Fu Yonghan is actually happy to make dried bamboo shoots by himself.
Even if it's dried bamboo shoots, the taste of what she makes is definitely far better than any other quality on the market.
And preparing every ingredient by himself makes Fu Yonghan have a special sense of happiness and satisfaction.
It's just that since Yongji Restaurant is a mid-range route, the fee is not too high, so the cost naturally has to be well controlled, and it is impossible to let Fu Yonghan prepare every detail carefully.
Moreover, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner event was relatively rushed, and she was not given enough time to do this.
In desperation, Fu Yonghan could only choose the dried bamboo shoots sold in the market.
Of course, even if it is a spot on the market that I bought, it is carefully selected by Fu Yonghan, and the taste is definitely not bad.
Looking at Zhang Hai and Yu Kangning, who were guarding the fragrant rice with their heads separately, Fu Yonghan's expression hesitated.
Ji Xiulang saw Fu Yonghan's expression at a glance.
He quietly walked over and whispered above Fu Yonghan's head, "What's wrong?" ”
As long as Ji Xiulang asked, Fu Yonghan would have nothing to hide from him.
"I'm just now discovering that this apprentice still seems to have received less." Fu Yonghan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Xiaoyu and Zhang Hai are both guarding tomorrow's rice, so they can't be distracted for the time being." But the duck stewed here also needs to be guarded, and I don't have the right person to command. ”
She's kidding, of course.
Even if there are not enough people in the kitchen, it is absolutely impossible for her to accept a few apprentices casually for such a reason.
Of course, there were other people in the kitchen, but it was past lunchtime, and most of the cooks had gone home for a while, and would not come to take over until six o'clock. At this time, there are only two chefs left in the kitchen, dealing with the scattered list of diners in the afternoon, and it is impossible to spare a hand to help Fu Yonghan.
This is also the result of the expansion of many chefs in the past few days. Otherwise, with the little manpower before Yongji Restaurant, it would be impossible to cope with such a hot business.
Ji Xiulang was stunned and said, "How to keep this soup?" Is it troublesome? ”
Fu Yonghan shook his head: "It's naturally not a matter of trouble, the main thing is to look at the time and heat, and you can't be careless." I'm going to prepare dumplings in a while, and I'm worried that I'll be distracted for a while, and I won't be able to take care of it when the time comes, and something will go wrong. ”
In fact, Fu Yonghan can also set an alarm clock to remind himself, but whether it is stewed soup or cooking rice, sometimes it cannot be judged purely by time, but more by experience and eyesight. If you make a mistake in timing, the taste of the soup will be different.
This difference may not be anything to others, and no one may even be able to taste it, but this is from Fu Yonghan's handwriting, and of course she does not allow herself to make such a mistake.
Ji Xiulang thought for a while and said, "Since it's not troublesome, if you can trust me, why don't you tell me the key points that need attention, and I'll watch it for you for a while?" ”
He has been in the back kitchen of Yongji Restaurant for half a day, and even the lunch at noon is eaten with the people in the store, without disturbing Fu Yonghan, who is doing things, but he has never left.
Zhang Hai and Yu Kangning didn't know how many times they quietly looked at him in private.
Although they are very accustomed to things in the kitchen, they actually know that these trivial things in the kitchen are very boring for ordinary people, not to mention Ji Xiulang, a young master from a family who never needs to cook.
What people didn't expect was that Ji Xiulang, who was born as a young master, really watched it quietly from beginning to end, not only did he not feel tired, but his interest seemed to be higher, and he had a posture of not giving up until he finished reading it!
Ji Xiulang didn't take the initiative to leave, so Fu Yonghan naturally wouldn't drive him away. However, she didn't expect that Ji Xiulang would offer to help with things!
She was stunned and said, "Are you serious?" ”
Ji Xiulang looked at her with a smile: "Of course it's serious!" Such an important matter is related to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner event of Yongji Restaurant, or is it done in cooperation with Mingji Mall, how can I joke with you? Seriously, I'm staying here anyway, so I might as well find something to do. Didn't you say that this is not a problem? If you think I can do it, let me try! ”
Fu Yonghan looked him up and down.
Ji Xiulang straightened up solemnly, feeling a little like a young man who had just left society to participate in an interview for the first time.
Fu Yonghan suddenly burst out laughing. (To be continued.) )
