Chapter 15: The Kicker Arrives
"The way of the world has changed, and anyone dares to make a big fuss in front of Juewei Building." The man who spoke looked like he was in his fifties, with a handful of goatee, dressed in gray and white cloth, clean and clean, but with a little oil stain on the cuffs, it seemed that the person who spoke was the red case master of Juewei Building, he was so anxious to make sarcastic remarks, it was estimated that the elbow that was regarded as a signboard was mostly from him.
Ji Yuejiao blessed the man and said firmly: "This uncle is the red case master of Juewei Building." ”
"Yo, you little girl still knows about red and white cases?" Since ancient times, large restaurants have had a master of both red and white cases, and the master of the red case is usually responsible for making meat dishes and loading bowls, from frying, stewing, frying, slipping to stewing, cooking, frying, and boiling, all of which are the categories of red cases. The white case is much more delicate, and is often responsible for the production of various pastries and pasta. The man in front of him still had oil stains on his cuffs, and he shouldn't be a white case master who did face work, so Ji Yuejiao boldly guessed that he was the red case master of Juewei Building, anyway, she is still a child now, and it is not ashamed to guess wrong.
"Miss Yuejiao guessed right, this is our chef Master Qi of Juewei Building, our signature elbow is Master Qi's specialty dish, and Juewei Building supplies six elbows every day, and there has never been anything left." Mo Huai looked at Master Qi proudly, this is a celebrity chef he invited with a lot of money, since Master Qi settled in Juewei Building three years ago, the business of Juewei Building is getting better day by day, even if it is a disaster year, the business of Juewei Building is much better than other restaurants.
Ji Yuejiao didn't expect that in a disaster year, in a small city like Changning City, the Juewei Building alone could sell six big elbows in one day, is it really "Zhumen wine and meat stinky road with frozen bones"?
"Since the little girl Yue Jiao said that Brother Ji has real skills, then we might as well shine and let us see for a long time." Mo Huai said with a smile, but Ji Yuejiao felt that there was a little ill will in his smile, but she had nothing to fear, but before showing her hand, she wanted to taste Jueweilou's elbow to make sure that her guess was not wrong.
Ji Yuejiao stabbed Ji Yuhua's arm, and Ji Yuhua immediately said with understanding: "Then we also have to taste your elbow to know what the problem is, just smelling is not enough." This was quietly taught to him by Ji Yuejiao before entering the door, Ji Yuhua recited it silently in his heart several times, and now he said it smoothly in one go.
Mo Huai's face changed, could this family have come to him to fight the autumn breeze? He played a play at the door, and asked him to ride a tiger to welcome the three of them into the door, but when he entered the door, he wanted to eat the elbow he sold for two taels of silver? Seeing Mo Huai's face change slightly, Ji Yuejiao understood the concerns in his heart, "Boss Mo doesn't have to worry, my father only needs three small bites, plus a little marinade to taste." ”
"In this way, according to what the petite girl said, I took a small bowl and sent it over." Mo Huai ruthlessly agreed to Ji Yuejiao's request, although this little girl only needs three small mouthfuls, but a complete elbow is broken, and she can't take it out and sell it again. Mo Huai made up his mind in his heart, if these three people came to him to cheat and cheat, he must detain them and work as handymen in Juewei Building for two years, he Mo Huai opened a restaurant and was not a good hall, and any cat and dog could ride on his head as a prestige. But Mo Huai has some expectations hidden in his heart, looking at the appearance of this little girl named Ji Yuejiao Chen Zhu in his chest, if they have real skills, then wouldn't he make money? You know, the way of handling meat can be inferred, if you can handle the elbow well, then the other meat can also use their method?
As soon as Mo Huai spoke, there was a cook who wanted to enter the kitchen to serve the elbow, and Ji Yuejiao hurriedly added, "The skin of the elbow and the lean meat in it are all needed." ”
When Master Qi saw Ji Yuejiao say this, he also raised a little attention, as soon as the expert made a move, only those who can eat know that the quality of an elbow cannot be determined by the skin of the elbow on the outside alone, whether the meat inside can be tender and soft is not bad, it is also one of the criteria for judging, could it be that this little girl's father is really a hard stubble? Of course, Master Qi doesn't think that Ji Yuejiao has any talent in the case, such a big little girl should only know how to buy new clothes and wear flowers, but she knows the essence of eating, so there is only one explanation - Ji Changhe's father teaches well.
The assistant cook paused when he heard this, and when he saw Mo Huai nodding, he turned around and walked to the back kitchen with confidence. Three small bowls of three small pieces of elbow meat were presented, and three pairs of chopsticks were carefully placed next to it.
Looking at the elbow in the bowl again, Ji Yuejiao couldn't help but praise it lightly, not to mention the side, Master Qi must have put a lot of effort into the fire, otherwise the soup hanging on the elbow skin would not be so bright red and translucent to arouse people's appetite. Ji Yuejiao took the lead in picking up chopsticks and feeding them to Ji Changhe, where did Ji Changhe know what to taste, Ji Yuejiao fed him, and he opened his mouth to taste it. After feeding Ji Changhe, Ji Yuejiao went to feed the second brother again, and as soon as the elbow meat was in her mouth, Ji Yuhua exclaimed in surprise. Seeing that the two of them had finished eating, Ji Yuejiao carefully picked up the last small bowl and put a small piece in her mouth to send it to her mouth, the skin was soft and glutinous, the meat was soft and rotten, and the sweet soup was her favorite Jiangsu and Zhejiang flavor in her previous life, but the fly in the ointment was that there was still a smell of pigs and a strong taste of bay leaves in the aftertaste, Ji Yuejiao suddenly realized that Master Qi's signature elbow added a lot of bay leaves to cover up other flavors. It should be because she has used spiritual power, Ji Yuejiao feels that her sense of taste and smell is much sharper than before.
It seems that this era is not a kind of spice, but some spices they can't afford to use at home, although the bay leaf can cover up some of the strange smell of pork knuckle, but it is better to block it than to be sparse, it is better to find a way to remove it than to indulge in covering it up, not to mention that the more you add it, the better it tastes. But after tasting the taste of this elbow, Ji Yuejiao felt more confident in her heart.
"Brother Ji, I don't know how our elbow is?" Mo Huai asked.
Ji Changhe didn't know how to evaluate it, and was hesitating how to deal with it, when Ji Yuejiao opened his mouth in front of him. "I don't know if Uncle Mo has a small kitchen here, as soon as my father does it, Uncle Mo will know how."
The large kitchen is the important place of Juewei Building, except for Master Qi and several second chefs, as well as the assistant chef brought by Master Qi, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, and even the food is served by the assistant chef and then handed over to the store guys to pass the dishes. This is a rule that Mo Huai has set a long time ago, after all, exclusive dishes are the foundation of a restaurant. Mo Huai was thinking about how to keep them from entering the big kitchen, but he didn't expect them to know and know about it.
Compared with the big kitchen of the red case, there is no secret in the small kitchen of the white case, and the Jueweilou is not known for the white case, so the small kitchen is also a big circle smaller than the big kitchen. Although the sparrows are small and have all the organs, although the small kitchen is exclusively for the master of the white case, there are a lot of pots and stoves that should be there, which is enough for Ji Yuejiao to stew an elbow.
Ji Yuhua retreated in his heart at this time, but Ji Changhe looked like an old god, and he didn't know if it was Ji Yuejiao or the so-called old god who gave him confidence.
Ji Yuejiao took her father and brother into the small kitchen slowly, turned around and closed the door of the small kitchen from the inside.
