Chapter 43: Big Garlic
The proprietress of the hot pot restaurant, known as Huang Erxian.
She started working in a hot pot restaurant at the age of eighteen, and later opened a Malatang restaurant by herself, then transitioned to a small hot pot restaurant, and finally slowly grew up, and now it has become a relatively well-known hot pot restaurant in Rongzhou City.
Rongzhou is a food capital.
It takes a lot of skill to be able to compete for supremacy with a wide variety of cuisines and a certain number of regular diners.
The "Fat Man in the Mountain City" hot pot restaurant is doing very well.
Huang Erxian has been working in this industry for more than 30 years, and she has finally made a name for herself.
After a long time, this hot pot restaurant has become famous far and wide.
Some well-known people occasionally visit her hot pot restaurant.
In order to follow the trend, Huang Sanxian would come over every time to take pictures with these people, and when those photos were washed out, Huang Sanxiang would hang them on the wall as a promotion for the restaurant.
The publicity effect of celebrities is indeed obvious.
With these photos, the business in the store is even more booming.
However, more and more people began to rumor that the taste of "Shancheng Fatty" hot pot is getting worse and worse.
This has never been Huang Sanxian's original intention.
She is a person who does not forget her original intention, from the beginning to the present, she has insisted on it, no matter what, the dishes and taste of the hot pot restaurant are the first.
On this side, five diners continued to scald the third-line meat in the soup pot.
The three-line meat melts as soon as it is sipped.
The special soup base makes the meat slices tender and smooth.
Sesame oil is wrapped in garlic granules, blended into the meat slices, and when you bite into it, the fragrance is compelling.
After a pause, she asked everyone: "I know that you are all the best finalists in the catering industry, and I want to ask you, how does my soup base taste?" ”
When Xiao Xiaomei heard this, she wiped the oil and water from the corner of her mouth:
"Of course it's very good!"
The proprietress sighed, and then said: "Some guests, say that the bitterness is a little heavier, they say that there are too many white cardamom and cloves, but if you don't put these two things, the bottom of the pot will be easy to paste the soup if it is boiled for too long, and I don't know how to solve it now." ”
Xiao Xiaomei makes lemon duck paws, although spices are often used as well.
But hot pot, but it takes dozens of spices to boil such a pot bottom.
A slight difference in the amount of spices can make a big difference in taste.
Therefore, every hot pot restaurant, the soybean milk ingredient list, is maintained as its own economic lifeline, and it is absolutely not leaked to anyone, nor is anyone allowed to snoop.
I just opened the mobile review website and took a look, this "mountain city fat" hot pot has a very high rating.
Moreover, on the video website, there are also various visiting stores to eat and broadcast to patronize.
In the hot pot world, it can be regarded as a little famous.
Looking at this store again, it is basically full at the moment.
Xiao Xiaomei didn't quite understand, the business was so hot, it meant that the guests liked to eat this taste, as for the little different opinions, why bother?
After all, making money is king.
Yin Xiaoyue swallowed the third-line meat in her mouth, her brows were deeply locked, as if she was thinking about something.
Hot pot mixed soup is indeed a more serious problem.
Normally, a good soup base should be as clear as ever from the beginning to the final moment of eating.
It is topped with a thick layer of butter, which accounts for more than 80% of the bottom of the pan.
Although beef accounts for the majority, a good hot pot base will not paste the soup, even if the dish contains the most starchy potato yam and sweet potato powder, the soup color is the same at the end.
But now I glanced at the bottom of the red oil pan.
Sure enough, only a few pieces of powder lotus root were cooked, and the color in the pot was already slightly cloudy.
It seems that although the bottom of this pot tastes good, the quality is really not good after long-term cooking.
At the end of the meal, it really affects the taste of the dish.
Moreover, those who can eat will also greatly reduce the image of this store.
Looking at the guests in the store, Yin Xiaoyue suddenly understood.
Most of the diners were young people, and they should have come for the stars in the photos.
Young people who chase stars are very persistent.
As long as idols like something, it must be the best.
And the hot pot that idols have eaten, the taste of the bottom of the pot must not be bad.
But fans like an idol, most of the time can't last long, in this entertainment industry or something, hundreds of newcomers pop up every day, and they all brush the ground, like mushrooms after a rain.
It is very likely that the stars on this wall are out of breath that day.
So how to run this hot pot restaurant is indeed a troublesome matter.
Just put down a plate of fresh pork yellow throat, a few chopsticks down, there is not much left.
Yin Xiaoyue got up, picked up a colander and fished it in the pot a few times, suddenly, she found something, picked up the thing from the pot at once, took a closer look, and immediately understood something.
Seeing her, she seemed thoughtful.
At this time, Aunt Spicy Shrimp on the side asked her, "Xiaoyue, what are you thinking?" Did you find anything? ”
Yin Xiaoyue whispered: "The reason for this mixed soup has nothing to do with white cloves or something. As she spoke, she pointed to something on the table with the tip of her chopsticks:
"This is the thing that caused the soup!"
Looking in the direction of the chopsticks, Aunt Spicy Shrimp found that it was a big garlic head.
This big garlic head, the countryside is like a small peach.
It is a specialty of the province.
In addition to here, other provincial cities, not to mention that they have not eaten, it can be said that there are not many in the farmers' market.
The taste of this garlic is not very strong.
It is mostly used for braised wine, and after being mixed with red soup and slightly softer, it has its own fragrance of the sky, which is soft and glutinous and delicious to eat, and the taste is very good.
As a result, many cooks in Rongzhou City like to put a large handful of whole garlic when cooking.
In the hot pot soup base, add some garlic, which can enhance the taste.
This is also the reason why Yin Xiaoyue felt that there was a special taste in this hot pot as soon as she ate it.
Although garlic does not contain starch, the fleshy fiber in it, mixed with butter, produces a special bulb substance, which is soft and melts as soon as you sip it.
When mixed with the soup, the bulbs become sticky.
This boiled bulb is far more mixed with soup than the potato yam or something.
This is also the main reason for the mixed soup of the "mountain city fatty" hot pot material.
The reason why Yin Xiaoyue saw that the mixed soup was a single garlic head was because Yin Weimin had been a single garlic before, and because of a single garlic head, he almost destroyed a pot of old marinade.
At that time, the braised pork stall at home almost couldn't be opened because of this matter.
