Chapter 24: The Chefs' Preliminary Examination

In order to greet my father, I had to go out early the next day. When I arrived at the restaurant, I notified a few chefs, and at noon my parents and brothers would come over and let them behave well and show their abilities.

In addition to this, I also plan to teach them how to make hot pot in the afternoon, and tomorrow the restaurant will reopen, and this is the new dish. The kitchen utensils and uniforms of the clerks have been prepared and delivered to the restaurant.

The quality of the handmade products is better, and the effect is completely unexpected. Even laymen like me can see that the quality is relatively high, my father and mother they really put their hearts, generally there are many stores will cut corners, but we have always used real materials in the store, and sure enough, only by doing a good job of quality and good taste can we become a well-known restaurant.

Looking at the busy figures of several chefs in the kitchen, I feel like the preliminaries of the Chef God Competition. It seems that my proposal is still good, my father and mother have managed the restaurant for so long, they can be judges for three chefs.

Each chef cooked three dishes, and I could tell that they had combined what they had learned recently and slightly modified the previous specialties to make them a new one. As soon as the cooks were busy, Uncle Zhong came to inform him that his father and mother were coming to the store.

I went to the private room first, and the chefs came in after me with their own dishes. When my family saw me, they beckoned me to sit down, and when I was ready, the cooks put the dishes on the table.

"Daddy, mother, and Brother Feng Brother Han, this is the new Chef Feng, you know each other, and then try the dishes made by the three chefs to see if you are satisfied? If there is anything that needs to be improved, you can put it forward! ”

"Okay, well, my mother knows. Hello Chef Feng! I will take a good look at the dishes you make and make the most honest evaluation, don't mind if you hear a bad review! ”

Seeing that Daddy nodded, Chef Feng, Chef Li and Chef Wu glanced at each other and said:

"Madam, you can say any comments and suggestions you have after tasting it, and the three of us will improve it so that we can improve again and again and become better chefs."

The six dishes of Babao Wild Duck, Stir-fried Guinea Chicken, Colorful Beef Tenderloin, Kung Pao Rabbit, Anchovies, and Flower Cooked Quail were made by the original two chefs, and the new Chef Feng made coriander duck, hydrangea dried scallops, and minced meat and tofu.

Although there are many meat dishes, they are full of color, flavor and flavor. We all tasted it one after another, my father and mother were silent, I smiled myself, I felt that the taste of this dish was oily but not greasy, and the lips and teeth were fragrant, which was a lot better than the first time I ate, but there was still room for improvement.

"The dishes made by Chef Li and Chef Wu taste much fresher than before, and they will not be greasy. But the heat can be controlled a little better, a little more will be a little burnt taste, a little less meat will be a little hard. Chef Feng's dishes are very good, worthy of being the imperial chef from the palace, and I am looking forward to your next performance in our restaurant. ”

The mother's evaluation Dad and his brothers also nodded in agreement, and Dad smiled and said, "The three chefs are doing very well, which is above my expectations." My vision is not wrong, now that the popularity of the restaurant has returned, you have contributed a lot, and I believe that our restaurant will become more and more prosperous because of you. ”

I can't taste them the same way I did, but it's good to have a suggestion for the chefs to modify it. After all, there are people out there, and although the chefs have done a good job, there will definitely be someone better than them, so they still need to continue to work hard.

"Madame's opinion is known, and we will continue to work hard. The eldest lady also taught us a lot, and the restaurant has the current results, and the eldest lady's credit is the greatest, and she also guided us to participate in the chef competition, which we feel very honored. ”

This sentence was said by Chef Wu, usually Chef Li talks a lot, and today's words of Chef Wu made me very moved. What a rare thing they can trust me and listen to me!

Thinking about the decoration of the restaurant, I asked my father and mother to watch it first, and then I went to the kitchen to make the bacon made yesterday and teach the chefs to make hot pot. The bacon was marinated yesterday, and today it was hung up to air dry, and it didn't take long for it to be hung up with the chefs.

The first thing to make a hot pot is the soup base, a clear soup base I made, and some mushrooms were added to it to enhance the freshness. Take out a finished hot pot kitchenware, add burning charcoal to the bottom, put the soup base in the middle of the pot, and when the soup boils, soak some meat and let the chefs try the taste. Because the soup base has been added with peanut oil and salt, they can eat it directly and make some seasonings, such as chili, pepper, garlic, chopped green onion, soy sauce, vinegar, peanut oil, peanut butter, sesame paste, etc.

They made seasonings to their liking and then tasted the ingredients for the hot pot shabu. A bite of meat and a bite of food, the taste is delicious, and the cooking is just right, the nutrition is locked, which makes people unsatisfied, and reminds me of life in modern times.

"Miss, this hot pot is better than Malatang. The flavors of Malatang are more mixed together, and the taste is soft and glutinous; The taste of each ingredient in the hot pot is different, and the taste is just right. Chef Li said.

"Yes, Miss, if this hot pot is launched tomorrow, it will definitely attract a lot of customers. But I think this may be a little light, Chinese people are more spicy, will it be better to add a little chili pepper to the soup? ”

When I heard Chef Feng's words, I knew that he still had a lot of ideas. I told them how to make the spicy hot pot soup base, fry the butter, add ginger, green onions, and garlic to fry until fragrant, and then add star anise, pepper, cinnamon, cumin, white pepper, orange peel, sand kernels, laurel, cumin, and salt to fry for half an hour and let it cool, so that it can be used as a soup base.

After the base is cooled, cut it into pieces, and when it is time to use it, fry it in the pot and then heat the water, so that it becomes the base of the spicy hot pot soup. I also let the chefs try the ingredients cooked in the spicy hot pot, and as soon as I ate it, I felt a lot warmer in my stomach, and it was very appetizing.

After the chefs ate it, they all praised it, so I asked them to launch the hot pot with these two soup bases tomorrow and see how the guests responded. Leaving the chefs in the kitchen to make more soup base ingredients, I went to see Chef Hu's decoration.

When I walked into the hall, I saw that it had already been renovated. The style has changed a lot, and it has a new feeling, which can be said to be a three-star restaurant before, but now it has risen directly to a five-star restaurant, and it can be reopened after cleaning up the hygiene.

When they arrived at the box, their parents and Master Hu were drinking tea and chatting. I walked into the box to greet Master Hu and expressed my gratitude, because he was so satisfied with the decoration, and it was all made by hand, which was really different from modern ones.

"Master Hu, your craftsmanship is so good, it is completely beyond my imagination. Do you want to stay and have dinner with us today? Let you taste the new dishes that our Ruyi Restaurant will launch tomorrow. ”

"Lingfeng, you girl is so much to my heart! It's very thoughtful, and those designs really caught my eye at the beginning. In the future, I can let her come to my house more often, and my apprentices can learn more. Today, I'm going to be cheeky to try your new dishes at your restaurant! ”

"Hu Lao, I'm also very happy with my daughter! The restaurant was in the doldrums for a while, but she was able to return to the previous or even surpass the previous business, and the new dishes in our restaurant are almost made by Yu'er! ”

I was very happy to receive my father's compliment. Sure enough, we are usually very reserved in front of our children, but we have been praising us in front of outsiders, because when we first entered the door, we heard them talking about the promotion of our brothers.

I also learned a lot from the conversation with Master Hu later, and Master Hu didn't eat with us at noon in order to rush to work. This kind of dedication, lean, and dedicated craftsmanship is too respectable, and although its benefits are small, it will never go out of style, and the pursuit of innovation is also unavoidable.
