Chapter 319: Peeling Melon
Walking in all the way, Zhang Dashan's voice was subdued and impassioned. Of course, at the end of the day, I'm still a little embarrassed.
This task was given to them, and they were a group of people who couldn't think of it every day with a spatula and received their salaries, but let a little girl solve it, and it felt like they were bullying people...... Wait, maybe you can ...... Zhang Dashan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"I thought maybe I could give it a try." Jiang Ruonan didn't dare to pack the ticket, but he still had some confidence in saying this.
Zhang Dashan hadn't thought it through yet, and when he heard Jiang Ruonan say this, he suddenly frowned again: "Okay, okay, you can try, just try, what do you think you are going to do today?" Let's all listen to you! ”
Seeing Jiang Ruonan come in, even if the people who were not present yesterday heard about the achievements of the sour soup brain, they were very curious and respectful to Jiang Ruonan at this time, and at the same time, they thought that they might be able to learn a hand today, so they were also very enthusiastic about Jiang Ruonan.
Jiang Ruonan didn't feel flattered, after all, as far as she was concerned, she was now recognized by everyone by virtue of her labor and talent, so there was no need to be too humble.
Jiang Ruonan looked at the ingredients in today's cafeteria again, and after thinking for a while, he began to do it.
She proposed to boil porridge with cold dishes, which is definitely the most compatible meal in the summer of S Province. Especially for the elderly, porridge is better to digest.
There is an old lotus root in the kitchen, scrape off the skin, and cut it into pieces to boil lotus porridge.
At the same time, Jiang Ruonan asked everyone to prepare a plate of cold pork ears, this dish, the chefs in the kitchen will do it, Jiang Ruonan himself will also, this is a famous appetizer!
And since you want to make the elements cleaner, mixing vegetarian dishes is also indispensable. Jiang Ruonan's mind immediately thought of gourd peels.
In fact, cucumber as a cold dish, there are many ways to mix cold, shoot cucumber, cucumber slices, cucumber dices, cucumber shreds, Jiang Ruonan has eaten a lot, but to rely on novelty, it must still be this gourd skin. At least in this era, due to geographical restrictions, for people here in S Province, no one has really made cold cucumbers so complicated.
The peel of the gourd, the important thing is a skewer, to cut the crisp and tender cucumber into inch segments, with a knife from the outside to the inside of the layer of thin slices, until the heart of the melon with seeds inside is not used. The melon skin cut out by the real knife master is like a thin belt, slightly rolled up, and the shape is beautiful.
Jiang Ruonan himself doesn't have this kung fu, S Province eats cold cucumbers, it's very simple, shoot cucumbers, put some seasoning, the crispy taste is enough. But the essence of skewer peel is not only in the knife skills, but also in the pickling of seasonings.
Jiang Ruonan only told the master in the kitchen how to cut it, so she went to get seasonings, soy sauce, sugar, cooking wine, peppercorns, pepper, cinnamon...... Everything is available, after all are mixed thoroughly, put the cut melon skin into the seasoned sauce, stir well with chopsticks, so that all the melon skin is soaked in the seasoning, and then marinate for an hour.
This is also the biggest feature of the skewer skin, not only the crispness of the cucumber, but also because of the long-term pickling to eat the seasoning, the taste is very strong, and there is a hint of melon fragrance, which is definitely the ultimate enjoyment of the taste buds.
Sure enough, the lotus root porridge and two cold dishes sent to the old leader that night were also very recognized by the old leader, especially the gourd peel, even the old leader's little grandson who didn't eat cucumbers ate a lot, and the next day he came to ask them what the secret of this dish was, and the canteen told them that it was to marinate for an hour to taste, so that the old leader's family was very satisfied.
Several times in a row, although Jiang Ruonan's dishes will not make the old leader appetite every time, after all, Jiang Ruonan has come up with many novel and rich dishes, which also makes the old leader not eat anything in the bitter summer like before.
Overall, Jiang Ruonan has made a great contribution.
And in such a day-to-day contact, she and almost all the people in the canteen became acquainted, because she was really serious about learning knife skills, very respectful to several masters, and very kind to several aunts who chose vegetables and washed dishes, plus she didn't hide her selfishness every time she came up with a recipe, and actively helped the canteen improve the taste of the big pot dishes and add to the dishes, which was almost unanimously loved by the canteen.
Even Dabao and a few of them ran to the canteen almost every day during the summer vacation, and they were also familiar with the uncles and aunts in the canteen.
By the time Dabao and the children all went to school, the small courtyard behind the cafeteria was empty, and everyone was still quite unaccustomed to it. Fortunately, there is still a three treasures, although they will not come so often, but for a bite to eat, they will still run to the canteen every few days.
At this time, Jiang Ruonan finally transferred from a temporary employee in the canteen to a formal establishment.
That's right, as early as when Jiang Ruonan tried to find a way to add appetizers to the old leader, Zhang Dashan gave her the identity of a temporary employee, she didn't have to work from 9 to 5 like others every day, she only needed to come for an hour or two, and the salary was not high, a few yuan, but she could get food stamps in the canteen to eat, in other words, it was a canteen with rice.
No one has any objections to this, or even if there is jealousy in their hearts, no one dares to touch her head when they see Zhang Dashan and the kitchen masters maintaining her.
Until now, he has finally successfully turned positive, of course, at this time, Jiang Ruonan, like other employees, has commuting time every day. It's just that because she is a creative talent, her time should be more relaxed, so that she can take care of it a little bit at home.
However, since then, whether it is Lu Zhenjun or a few dolls, they basically come to the canteen to eat at noon every day, and Jiang Ruonan took the initiative to ask for half of his salary, blocking some gossip.
But after Jiang Ruonan came, the performance of the canteen was also obvious, that is, those leaders who received subsidies and supplies at home had more time to eat in the canteen. In this way, the salary and treatment of the canteen are naturally much better.
Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and the conditions of the Lu family, it was their canteen that begged people to come, but the children didn't come to eat, and drank the northwest wind at home?
Except for a very few people who still feel that Jiang Ruonan has taken a big advantage in their hearts, the vast majority of people, including the canteen, are all happy and happy for Jiang Ruonan's canteen.
Jiang Ruonan didn't care what others thought, anyway, she got her first job in the cafeteria. It's really a coincidence.
Although some people think she is stupid, there are so many new recipes, but she directly contributes to it, and asks the chefs to improve the research and encourage the chefs to innovate. As for herself, she is chopping vegetables all day long.
Jiang Ruonan is willing, although he is tired, but with the guidance of the master, he feels that his knife skills are improving little by little every day, even if he chops vegetables and chops vegetables, it is actually very boring, Jiang Ruonan can also enjoy it.
It wasn't until the beginning of October that Li Shuying, who had already said that she would come back, finally came late with her family. That's right, it's a family.
Li Shuying not only came back by herself, but also came back with her daughter-in-law, two grandsons and little daughter.
It was more than a year to say goodbye, and too many things happened during the period, and finally when Li Shuying came back, Jiang Ruonan was very excited.
Because Song Guoqiang couldn't leave, he didn't come back with him, and the people in their group were all women and children, and when they arrived at Liangcheng Station, Jiang Ruonan and Lu Zhenjun went to pick them up.
