Chapter 44: The bottom of the pot is bitter
It was the first month of the store. At that time, Yin Weimin added a few garlic to the braised soup, resulting in a whole pot of brine, all of which were invalid.
Seeing that all the meat products that had been marinated so hard could not be used, Li Aizhen was very distressed.
She thought for a moment and made a suggestion:
"Or, take it out and wash it, start a new pot of new ingredients, marinate it again, just don't taste too much, anyway, this time, most of the guests can't eat it."
"How does this work!?"
Listening to his wife's words, Yin Weimin was very angry:
"The stomach of a diner is the most sensitive, and if it hurts once, it will never come back. We're just starting to do it now, and if we get to make such a fake thing, if it is known, it will be notorious! If you want to do it all over again, you can't pull it back with ten cows! ”
Yin Weimin sternly rejected his wife's suggestion.
That night, he poured out all the pots of brine.
Li Aizhen looked at the marinated products that had worked hard for a day, as well as the pot of old brine that had been boiled for a long time, it was wasted in vain, and she wiped her tears vigorously.
But Yin Weimin said:
"Eat a trench to grow a wisdom, let's add one-headed garlic to make it more flavorful, but I didn't expect it to be counterproductive, the braised meat or something, let's put it in the refrigerator and eat it ourselves, don't take it out and sell it."
After a few days of closure, Yin Weimin re-made a pot of brine.
And the braised pork in the refrigerator also made Yin Xiaoyue eat until she vomited, so that for a long time later, when she saw her parents cutting braised pork, she felt uncomfortable.
But the fact that the garlic can paste the soup left a deep impression in her mind.
Later, in the "coarse tea and light rice", all dishes that make braised bright soup are always avoided.
Aunt Spicy Shrimp looked at the garlic head on the table and couldn't quite understand.
She is from a province, and she has only heard of this garlic or something, but she has not used it to cook.
Aunt Spicy Shrimp has just heard that the garlic tastes very good, especially when used to make garlic yellow and spicy dices, which is the preferred companion, a pound of garlic with a pound of yellow and spicy dices, plus bean paste to soak chili peppers or something.
A bite of tender fish and a bite of soft garlic.
Another sip of soju.
That taste is a little more comfortable than the gods!
Now, looking at Yin Xiaoyue pointing to the lone garlic that fell on the table, and saying that this was the reason for the mixed soup, she raised her eyes and looked at Yin Xiaoyue, looking not very sure:
"The reason for the soup, is this thing?"
"Of course!"
Yin Xiaoyue nodded.
In fact, there is another reason why hot pot is mixed with soup, the pot is small, and there are many dishes cooked, and the soup may be mixed.
But now I eat that bite of the hot pot soup base.
The soup is wide and oily.
There is no such reason.
Therefore, Yin Xiaoyue insisted that the one-headed garlic was the biggest failure in the bottom of the pot.
When Huang Erxian listened to Yin Xiaoyue's story, she seemed a little incredulous:
"Garlic mixes with soup, I've never heard of it before."
Yin Xiaoyue said: "It's not garlic that mixes soup, it's one-headed garlic that mixes soup." Did you put too much one-headed garlic in the stir-fry of this base, and did you find that it would mix the soup at the beginning, so you added a measured white herb and cloves. As a result, these two spices are too much, so that some diners with a keen sense of taste bitter taste at once. ”
Hearing this, Huang Erxian nodded thoughtfully.
She thought of the newly hired stir-fry master.
It was a young man, not very old. Of course, he is only responsible for frying the bottom of the pot, and the secret recipe for the ratio of spices is always firmly in the hands of Huang Erxian.
This little master is very willing to put in the effort.
Generally, a large pot of base materials, in order to save physical strength, the usual master is enough to fry for about half an hour.
And this little master is not tired of stir-frying for two hours.
In the end, it is a young man, Huang Erxian feels that this salary is well spent.
However, she also knew very well in her heart that the reason why the little stir-fry master worked so hard was not just to work here all his life.
At a young age, it's time to accumulate experience and learn technology.
Of course, the seasoning formula in Huang Erxian's hand will not be easily passed on.
So between the two, there are some contradictions.
In the process of stir-frying, the little master found that garlic was added, and the base smelled more fragrant, so he put forward his idea with the proprietress Huang Erxian.
Huang Erhuan tasted it and found that it was really good, so she agreed to add the garlic head.
But then, out of nowhere, the soup suddenly became sticky.
Huang Erxian found a lot of reasons, but she didn't expect that there was a problem with the garlic head.
However, mixed soup is very detrimental to the survival of a hot pot restaurant.
In order to change the situation, Huang Erxian asked people in the industry, and someone suggested that she add more white corn and cloves, and experimented again, and sure enough, the soup base was clear.
Both white and cloves have a slightly bitter taste.
But mixed with so many spices, this little bit of bitterness shouldn't be serious.
So the hot pot restaurant continued to open.
Then one day, the conversation between a mother and daughter eating hot pot caught Huang Erxian's attention.
It was Mother's Day.
The girl prepared a cake for her mother, and after eating the cake, the mother and daughter began to enjoy the hot pot. As soon as she took a bite of the tender and fat cow, the girl frowned.
She called the waiter:
"Today's soup base, why does it taste like this? Did you change the recipe? ”
When the waiter heard this, he was a little puzzled.
Seeing that she didn't seem to know what the situation was, the girl simply picked up a piece of fat cow and asked the waiter to taste it, but after the waiter ate it, he waved his hand and said that there was no difference.
The girls were upset.
Obviously, I ate differently, but the other party didn't admit it.
That's not too kind.
The girl's mother told the girl not to worry, and after saying that, she also scalded a duck intestine and ate it.
After a bite of duck intestines, the girl's mother savored it and said to the waiter, "It's really different from before, the last time we came to eat, it really didn't taste like this." ”
The waitress thought for a moment, she pointed to the unfinished cake on the table and said:
"You ate the cake first, did you still have the taste of cake in your mouth, suppressing the taste of the hot pot?"
When the girl heard this, she quickly said:
"Of course not, the last time I came, it was my business, and we brought a cake over. We also ate the hot pot with cake and then that day, but the taste was really different from this time! ”
While they were arguing, Huang Erhuan happened to pass by.
She came over and asked what was going on, only to see the girl's mother pointing to the bottom of the pot and saying to the proprietress "I think, is there any spice in your soup base, which is too heavy?" ”
"Oh?" Huang Erxian's heart trembled: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's kind of ...... It's hard to ......"
