Chapter 830 - Ways to Improve the Taste of Baked Cold Noodles (Cz, Add 4/10)
Qi Yan led the stall owners to the back kitchen of the cold noodle girl.
Although the other stall owners are not very good at baking cold noodles, they all followed, and they wanted to see how Zhang Yahui "guided" and what the so-called "food consultant" was responsible for.
After Qi Yan briefly explained to the chef, the chef immediately began to make grilled cold noodles.
Zhang Yahui and the other stall owners gathered around and watched carefully.
This chef had also participated in the stall food competition before, so he knew Zhang Yahui and these stall owners, and he was a little uncomfortable to perform roasted cold noodles in front of them, but since Qi Yan asked for it, he still honestly followed the previous method.
Zhang Yahui looked very seriously.
Although he and the chef both participated in the stall food competition, they are both baked cold noodles, but because they are busy making cold noodles and have no time to pay attention to others, Zhang Yahui didn't know how the cold noodles girl's baked cold noodles were made before.
Now after watching it up close, I realized that the biggest difference between making cold noodles here and making cold noodles by yourself is the "accuracy".
In the simplest example, the chef will use a timer to record the time of baking, and he will also use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the cold noodles, and only after reaching the right temperature will he beat the eggs, put the seasoning, etc.
And when Zhang Yahui made his own baked cold noodles, he relied on experience. However, he is more talented, and he makes too many portions of baked cold noodles, so even without the help of these tools, there will not be much difference in the baked cold noodles made each time.
Qi Yan didn't pay much attention to the process of baking cold noodles, but paid a little attention to the expressions of the chefs and stall owners.
This chef was hired by Meng Chang with a high salary, and he is a serious hotel chef, although he is not at the level of a five-star hotel chef, he is by no means an idle person.
After all, the cold noodle girl has so much marketing expenses, and she can hire a more expensive chef by squeezing out a little bit casually. Meng Chang has been preaching how good the cold noodle girl's taste is, and if he finds an ordinary chef to be picked out, it will be worth the loss.
But the chef hired with a high salary can't make the grilled cold noodles as well as the roadside stall stall owner, and it seems that there are not many consumers who buy it, which is a problem that Qi Yan has always been puzzled by.
The grilled cold noodles are quickly ready, and the chef follows the standard process of cutting the cold noodles into sections, carefully arranging them, and setting them aside.
"It's done." Chef said to Qi Yan.
Qi Yan nodded and said to the stall owners: "Everyone have a taste, you can put forward any opinions." ”
The stall owners each took a piece and savored it.
Zhang Yahui said: "Well, it is indeed the same as what the judges of the previous competition said, the control of moisture is not very good, the taste is a bit tough, not soft enough, as for the vinegar taste...... Fortunately, it is not as serious as the judges said. ”
The chef was silent for a moment and explained, "I deliberately added a little extra vinegar today. ”
Obviously, yesterday's judges' comments were quite pertinent, and the chef also listened to the opinions with an open mind, and today he added a little more vinegar to improve the taste of the roasted cold noodles.
The chef said to Zhang Yahui: "Why don't you make a copy and let me learn?" ”
Zhang Yahui hurriedly said: "I don't dare to study, I just make too much baked cold noodles, and I am also blind, so I have to be a little careful." ”
Zhang Yahui was modest, but he still changed positions with the chef, poured oil, picked up a piece of baked cold noodles and spread it on top and began to make it.
This time, it was the chef's turn to watch.
are also grilled cold noodles, and the steps of making them are similar, but the chef observed Zhang Yahui's specific techniques while holding the timer, and found that there were still differences in details.
The difference in the taste of baked cold noodles may be due to these details.
Soon, Zhang Yahui's roasted cold noodles were also ready, and everyone was invited to taste them.
Qi Yan has tasted both kinds of grilled cold noodles, and she can indeed taste them, and Zhang Yahui's grilled cold noodles are more delicious.
A man's tongue does not deceive.
There was an entrepreneur who said a piece of theism. Someone criticized him for not opening a restaurant brand, and he angrily reprimanded: That's because your taste buds haven't been opened yet, and you've only eaten your mother's taste, so you can't tell what's delicious and what's not.
This theology is also said to be a joke.
Of course, there is a gap between people and people's ability to taste food, otherwise everyone can do this kind of work as a food critic.
But to say that "the taste buds are not opened and therefore I find something delicious unpalatable" is pure nonsense.
Anyone can taste something really delicious as long as you eat it.
Conversely, if the average person finds it unpalatable, it is often really unpalatable.
The chef did not force that his baked cold noodles were delicious, but bowed to the wind and seriously asked Zhang Yahui some details in the production process.
Zhang Yahui also replied seriously, but many times what he did was based on his feelings, and he couldn't say it clearly.
The chef listened carefully and sighed, "I see...... It seems to be my problem, I think the grilled cold noodles are too simple, I never thought that such a simple snack has so many details and doorways......"
Qi Yan suddenly understood why the serious hotel chef was not as good as the food stall owner in making grilled cold noodles.
On the one hand, because of skill, and on the other hand, because of attitude!
If it is other dishes, the chef will definitely be able to make Zhang Yahui a few streets, because these dishes have recipes, and the chef has also undergone strict professional training, so it is impossible to lose to Ye Luzi.
But snacks are different, snacks don't have a clear recipe, and chefs in various restaurants don't specifically study how to make pancakes or bake cold noodles, so even hotel chefs have a similar starting point as food stall owners.
And this chef obviously didn't think much of baked cold noodles before, so he didn't put a lot of effort into it, just thinking that if he made it casually, it would definitely be better than the food made at the stall.
As a result, there is no obvious gap with the grilled cold noodles of roadside stalls.
Of course, even if he studied carefully, he might not be able to study it.
There are so many cities in the country, and there are countless stalls in each city, and so many stall owners have tried to come up with such a few delicious baked cold noodles. Let the chef figure it out on his own, how long will this have to be done?
For both skill and attitude, chefs can't play with baking cold noodles.
It is precisely because the cold noodle girl's baked cold noodles are not significantly different from the roasted cold noodles in ordinary stalls in terms of taste, and the selling price is relatively high, so customers will feel that they have paid the IQ tax and feel that the cold noodles of the cold noodle girl are not delicious enough.
Qi Yan couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, and you still have to ask professional people to do things like snacks.
are also chefs, and whether they are good or not is one thing to cook regular dishes, and another thing whether they are good or not to make snacks.
Qi Yan suddenly realized, isn't this exactly what Mr. Pei wants to convey?
One of the key reasons for Meng Chang's failure was that he didn't understand this, he thought that he could do a good job of baking cold noodles by finding a chef to deal with it.
But he didn't think about whether the chef was good at making baked cold noodles. Would the chef be willing to ask the stall owner for details on how to bake cold noodles?
Meng Chang has been emphasizing the need to pay close attention to the taste of baked cold noodles, but he is just talking about it, and there is no actual action at all.
Qi Yan felt that Mr. Pei was obviously hinting to herself, don't follow Meng Chang's old path, you must be down-to-earth and seek truth from facts!
Other stall owners also talked about their snack experiences.
Qi Yan can see that although these stall owners have not undergone special professional cooking training, what they have in common is that they have a certain taste ability, strong hands-on ability, and love to study.
Otherwise, it is impossible to make ordinary snacks like so many people without a teacher.
They have the attitude and ability, as long as the cold noodle girl pays them some cooking knowledge training, and then their cooking techniques are streamlined and refined...... It's sure to enhance the taste of the cold noodle girl's snacks!
At that time, not only baked cold noodles, but also other types of snacks can be made!
Thinking of this, Qi Yan immediately made a decision: "I think everyone's ability is fine, enough to be qualified for the position of food consultant." I assure you that the cold noodle girl will definitely provide a bigger platform for everyone to give full play to their strengths! ”
……
At the same time, Gyeongju.
Li Shi is using voice chat to inform the author of the article what he knows about Mr. Pei, Dream Venture Capital, and the cold-faced girl.
"That's all I know."
"There may be something more secretive, after all, Mr. Pei is good at planning, and what we see may only be part of his plan. But there is no way to know this. ”
"You can choose these materials according to your needs."
A male voice came from the other side of the phone: "Thank you very much, these details are so exciting, I really didn't expect there to be so many stories behind the cold-faced girl!" ”
"May I ask who you are and where did you get this inside information? Don't worry, I'm just curious, and I won't write it in the article. ”
"Of course, it's okay if you don't want to reveal it."
Li Shi smiled: "I'm just an ordinary investor with a student mentality. ”
Seeing that Mr. Li was reluctant to say, the person on the other side of the phone did not ask again, but said: "Please rest assured, I will write this article soon, and it will definitely be very exciting!" ”
Li Shi suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. I heard that Meng Chang is desperate now, and Mr. Pei plans to give him a little work, but he is not sure what kind of position he is responsible for. ”
The person on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment: "This ......"
"Okay, I see, this seems to be a very important piece of information as well."
"I'll start writing the manuscript so that the story behind the cold-faced girl can be revealed to the world!"
