Chapter Ninety-Nine: Cold Cuts

Xiaohua entered the painting feast hall and asked, "Yuanyuan, how is the recent turnover?" Yuan Yuan said: "Very good, every day the customers are full." ”

Xiaohua looked at the menu sign and said, "These cold dishes are selling well!" Yuan Yuan said: "These are cold dishes with wine, and customers in the private room will order one or two varieties." ”

At this time, the phone at the main station rang, and Yuan Yuan stepped forward to answer the phone, "Hello, we are painting a feast of love." The customer said, "I'm going to receive some guests tonight, and they like to drink, do you have cold dishes and beef sauce?" ”

Yuan Yuan said: "Yes, it's our signature dish in the cold dishes here!" The customer said, "Okay, please prepare the sauce beef in the evening, and the other dishes, we will order it when we arrive." ”

Xiao Hua said: "I'll go to the back kitchen and ask them to prepare!" Xiao Hua came to the back kitchen, "Uncle Xu, come to life, a customer ordered a plate of beef sauce." Xu Guochu: "More than 50 plates of sauced beef are sold every day, and now it can be prepared." ”

Xu Guochu walked up to Huang Weiqiang, "Xiao Huang, you can prepare to make sauce beef, and you have to make more today." Huang Weiqiang said: "National chef, I know, I'll prepare beef." ”

Beef in sauce should be made with tendon meat, all two halves in the middle, wash the tendon meat with water, and then soak it in clean water. Generally, it is soaked for two hours to soak out the blood in the tendon flesh.

After two hours, wash it again, put it neatly in a basin, put in the light soy sauce, smear the tendon meat, put it in the refrigerator, and marinate for another five hours. The small painting was seen on the side, "Is that all?" Huang Weiqiang said: "It's still early!" To marinate for five hours. Xu Guochu said: "This cold dish should be marinated for a long time, otherwise it will not taste good." ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Weiqiang sliced ginger, cut green onions into sections, and put cinnamon, star anise, cumin, bay leaves, angelica, Sichuan pepper, tangerine peel, and dried red pepper. Wrap it in gauze.

Then put the marinated tendon meat into the pot, pour in water and boil, and then put in the ginger slices, green onions, and gauze packets. Add the soul soybean paste and sweet noodle sauce and simmer for two and a half hours on low heat.

After the tendon meat is stewed, put it in the refrigerator for another half hour, at this time the meat is more compact and will not crumble after slicing.

The fibrous tissue of the sauced beef is thick, so it should be cut crosswise, so that the long fibers can be cut off, and not cut along the long fibers, so that it will not be chewed, and the sauced beef slices should be thin.

Xiaohua came to the back kitchen again in the evening, "Uncle Xu, is the sauce beef ready?" Xu Guochu said: "It's done, it's being sliced and plated." Xiaohua saw that the sauced beef had been sliced and plated for more than a dozen plates, "Can you buy so much every day?" Xu Guochu said: "These are not enough to sell, and they have to be cut into more than 40 plates." ”

Sauce beef has high nutritional value, rich in nutrition, contains a lot of protein, minerals, has the ability to grow muscles, and improves immunity. The effect of nourishing blood and qi.

In the evening, customers came to the lobby and asked, "Is the sauce beef ready?" Yuan Yuan said: "Ready, what dishes do you want to order?"

The customer said: "It's the first time we've come, so we want five meat dishes and five vegetarian dishes!" Does the wine have Moutai? Yuan Yuan said: "Yes, you take a few bottles." The customer said, "Let's take three bottles first!" ”

Yuan Yuan led the customers to the private room, "I asked them to serve the sauce beef cold dishes." After a while, the dishes were served one after another. The customer tasted a piece of beef in sauce and gave a thumbs up to praise the deliciousness. The flavor is chewy, very tender and not firewood.
