Chapter 68: The Great Kitchen
"Go! Of course go! ”
Zhou Huilan agreed very happily.
300 yuan, she sold a boxed lunch for two days to earn it back, and she had to take in two hard mornings, which was only one night's work, no matter how it was calculated.
But Zhou Huilan has never done a banquet after all, although she does make some dishes, but since it is a cooperation, the ugly words still have to go forward, "I have never been a chef like this, although you have tasted my dishes, but such a dish, can you go to the banquet of the provincial leaders?" ”
"The few popular dishes in the store recently, your boxed lunches have been sold, and there is a special plating chef in the back kitchen, you just need to make the taste right."
"Do you pay back if you mess it up?"
Zhang Yongqiang couldn't help laughing, and while shaking his head, he took out three brand-new hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, "Give!" It's available to you right now! ”
The smell of ink in the new banknotes makes people feel refreshed, and Zhou Huilan no longer twists, "Deal!" ”
Three hundred yuan was put into her pocket, and Zhou Huilan's heart was extremely steady.
After selling the boxed lunch, she went directly to the state-run restaurant.
I've been here many times before, but today is the first time I've actually entered the kitchen.
It is no different from an ordinary kitchen, nothing more than a more stove, a larger board, pots and pans of various sizes feel more than the supply and marketing cooperatives, and a dazzling array of ingredients is also staggering.
Turning around, the chefs in the back kitchen, who were not standing very straight, were also stunned when they saw Zhou Huilan.
"Mr. Zhang, is this what you mean by Dana?"
"Can you do it at such a young age?"
"Girl, which master did you bring out, how many dishes can you make, how many dishes can you make, what arrangements do you have for this banquet tonight?"
Standing here, it is not the entire back kitchen of the state-run hotel, but only a small part of the people who support Zhang Yongqiang, those who listen to Niu Guangde's words on the surface, since Niu Guangde took sick leave at home, they also followed one by one to ask for leave.
It turned out that when there was no soy milk, although the breakfast business of the state-owned hotel was not prosperous, it was barely able to maintain, and now there is no soy milk, there are a lot of people who come to scold in the morning, and there is no one who buys anything, Zhang Yongqiang simply stopped breakfast, and now there is only a small stir-fry left, so it is even more dependent on the master.
But Niu Guangde obviously didn't take Zhang Yongqiang seriously.
Not only did he not take him seriously, but he also wanted to get the people under him to drive Zhang Yongqiang away, who could agree, but Niu Guangde had the confidence because he had craftsmanship.
Zhou Huilan didn't worship the master seriously, and she didn't understand the things in the kitchen at all, so she stared at Zhang Yongqiang blankly.
"Everyone has drunk the soy milk she grinds, and now she sells boxed lunches at the entrance of the central hospital, and I have eaten it a few times, and it tastes very good."
"Mr. Zhang, aren't you messing around!" Standing at the forefront, the whitest haired master even took off his apron.
"Master Ge, I'm not messing around." Zhang Yongqiang picked up the apron thrown on the case, and he was also helpless, "A master like Master Niu, I'm afraid that I can't find a second one, but he is sick, Master Zhou is here to save an emergency, if this matter can be completed, we are all happy, if this matter is not consummated, then I will get out, you are just forced by the situation to do it." ”
"You guys give me a face today, cooperate with Master Zhou, although she doesn't understand the rules of the banquet, but the dishes are really good, this is not a method, I can only ask you to take care of it today." After Zhang Yongqiang finished speaking, he handed the apron to Master Ge with both hands, and then bowed deeply to everyone.
A few masters, you look at me, I look at you, and their eyes finally fell on Zhou Huilan.
"Done! Let's give Mr. Zhang this face today! ”
The chefs who settled in the back kitchen, Zhang Yongqiang didn't stay longer.
He walked on the front foot, and the masters on the back foot surrounded Zhou Huilan.
"Girl, what are you good at, or what do you cook the most?"
Zhou Huilan thought for a while, "Winter melon pork rib soup, spinach pork liver porridge, rose pig's trotters, ......"
Master Ge nodded, "Winter melon pork rib soup can be counted as one, the rose theme can also be counted as one, pork liver is an inferior commodity that cannot be feasted, vegetarian dishes, let's put on a casserole vegetarian mix, and then a wolfberry cover dish in soup, these are four." ”
"I also learned a ginkgo steamed duck a few days ago, but I have to steam the white duck and ginkgo in the basket, if I have all these materials, I can still make this."
Master Ge was obviously shocked, "Ginkgo Steamed Duck...... This is a restaurant dish for the elderly, you are a little girl pondering by yourself, where did you learn this? ”
Zhou Huilan pulled the corners of her mouth, and did not answer his words, but reported another dish that she had always wanted to make but did not have the ingredients, "Ginseng snow horseshoe cake, you have to ask for ginseng, pear, longan meat, and water chestnut, water chestnut and sugar cane, do you have these?" ”
"Ginseng, longan meat and water chestnuts are available, but this pear and sugar cane are not available, but now in this season, you should be able to buy them when you go out." The person who spoke was a white-looking young man.
Zhou Huilan smiled sweetly at him, "Then I bother the master to go out for a run." ”
With the beginning, and then discussed, the masters will also give some advice, put together a safe dish, and soon, what to do with these sixteen dishes, all have a conclusion.
Fritillary golden thread pear, wolfberry stuffed bitter gourd, astragalus pot pigeon, roasted yellow croaker......
Zhou Huilan never thought that her confused recipe would be presented in this way.
Looking at the busy but well-organized back kitchen, Zhou Huilan suddenly understood Niu Guangde's indelible arrogance, although it is just cooking, but there are so many people who work to listen to your command, this kind of sense of accomplishment is really not something that other jobs can have.
The chef assigns the task of preparing the dishes, and there are also people who are responsible for polishing the various side dishes until they can be put into the pot, and then the master chef is in charge of the pot, which is considered the chef's handiwork.
The water chestnut cake was stewed into a paste, and it was eaten at home, but if it was to be served, it had to be made to look good and be plated.
Zhou Huilan followed curiously, only to find out that Master Ge didn't stir-fry, he was in charge of the white case.
The fried rice noodles are sprinkled on the board, the horseshoe cake paste is poured down, wrapped in the steamed glutinous rice flour skin, formed into a circle, and then printed on the top with a wooden mold, followed by a tool with a sharp end and a round end that is about the same thickness as chopsticks, and after a while, a beautiful thousand-petal lotus is put into the plate.
Zhou Huilan was amazed and couldn't help clapping her hands.
The busy people in the back kitchen all looked at her, and Master Ge couldn't help but give her a roll of his eyes.
"Master Zhou, you are the master, you have to coordinate tonight's banquet, not to see the excitement."
