Chapter 19: Fish Dumplings

Liao Su had just walked 100 meters and was about to go to the street, when he met Ah Jing around the corner.

The two almost bumped into each other, and when Liao Su saw that it was Ah Jing, he asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Ah Jing replied, "It's not like you haven't come back so late......"

"Poof, what can I do, just got off work......" Hearing Ah Jing's words, Liao Su actually laughed.

However, it is more touching, no one in this city will care about themselves like this.

The two walked back to the hotel, and Liao Su took out the dumplings and said, "Ah Jing~ Come and eat." ”

Ah Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey~ Now you don't even call my sister?" ”

Before Liao Su could answer, Ah Jing continued to ask, "How do you feel today?" Isn't it tiring? ”

Liao Su said while eating dumplings: "I'm not too tired, but something is quite strange." ”

"Why is the business of the dumpling restaurant so good at night?"

"Also, Aunt Yang is so busy at night, why don't you find someone to help her? I don't think she's going to be able to keep her busy alone. ”

Ah Jing explained: "Maybe you are used to it, it was only on weekends that it was so busy. ”

"It seems a little bit unstable now, and some office workers come here after work."

"There are very few restaurants in this kind of small county town that can open so late, or the kind of 24-hour noodle shop."

"However, everyone still wants to eat a hot bite in the evening, so that as soon as it spreads ten, ten and hundred, there will naturally be more people at night."

"As for the matter of hiring a waiter, Aunt Yang has not thought about it, but it is not so easy to find a waiter in Xicheng."

"If the business is not good, it may not even be enough to make up the salary of the waiter, and Aunt Yang did not have such a hot business at the beginning."

"So when you're busy, you'll be busy, and when you're free, you'll be free, and you won't be so worried."

Liao Su was still a little incomprehensible, and said: "It's okay for two days a day, if it's like this for a long time, how can the body stand it?" ”

Ah Jing said: "You are still too young, you have to suffer all kinds of hardships in order to live." ”

"When you grow up, you will understand that there is no easy word in your parents' generation......"

While eating dumplings, the two chatted and talked a lot......

By the time he finished eating the dumplings, it was almost 24:00, and Liao Su had to go tomorrow, so he went back to his room to sleep first.

He was worried that he wouldn't be able to get up in the morning, so he set two alarm clocks at 6:00 and 6:20.

Ah Jing still can't leave her post, no matter what, she has to stay at the bar.

The alarm clock rang on time at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, and sure enough, after a tiring day, Liao Su couldn't open his eyes when the alarm clock rang.

This has just started to work, no matter how much you have to overcome, when the alarm clock rang again at 6:20, Liao Su pinched his thighs hard, and the stimulating pain made Liao Su half awake in an instant.

After cleaning up, it was already 6:45, Liao Su hurriedly went downstairs, quietly approached the bar, and saw that Ah Jing was still asleep.

Didn't bother her, the wind chimes on the door were cleverly designed, only ringing when the door was pushed from the outside to the inside.

When you push the door from the inside to the outside, you can't touch the wind chimes, and they won't ring, so it won't affect Ah Jing's rest.

At 6:58, Liao Su came to the door of the dumpling restaurant, and the door had been opened, which meant that Aunt Yang was inside.

Liao Su thought he was late, so he hurriedly took out the "Nokia" and took a look, but it was not yet 7:00.

He walked in and asked softly, "Aunt Yang?" Are you there? ”

"Su'er, come in......" Aunt Yang's voice came from the kitchen.

Liao Su walked into the kitchen, it seemed that Aunt Yang had been here for a long time, Liao Su asked, "Aunt Yang, why is it so early today?" ”

While working, Aunt Yang replied, "Today's dough is ready, it's on the table, you eat first." ”

"The rolled dumpling wrappers are on the table, the filling is in the crisper, and I'm going to buy them later."

"You wrap the dumplings first, put the stool down at almost 9:00, and I'll be back on time at 9:00."

Liao Su nodded and replied, "Okay." ”

After Aunt Yang finished speaking, she went straight out of the dumpling restaurant.

Liao Su glanced at the dough on the table, there were two bowls, and Aunt Yang had prepared them for Ah Jing.

He still sent the dough to Ah Jing as quickly as possible, and before Ah Jing got up, Liao Su didn't dare to delay and put it directly on the bar.

After eating the dough, Liao Su washed his hands and began to make dumplings.

He took out ten plates from the cupboard, large and small, with 20 dumplings in the small plate and 40 in the large plate.

No one bothered, and no one talked to him, Liao Su wrapped it intently, and the speed was much faster.

The door was ajar, and by 8:40, Liao Su had put all the stools down, and the chopsticks and spices were placed in the designated positions.

However, there was still half of the dumpling filling left by Aunt Yang that was not wrapped, and it was 9:00 in less than 20 minutes, Liao Su was a little anxious, and hurriedly went in to speed up the dumplings.

8:58 minutes.

"Liao Su, come out and help me!" Liao Su was in a hurry to wrap up, and suddenly Aunt Yang's voice came from outside the kitchen.

Liao Su hurriedly put down the work in his hand, and while running to wash his hands, he replied, "I'll wash my hands, I'll be here soon." ”

Liao Su opened the door completely, and there were several large plastic bags at the door, which were bulging inside, looking like ingredients.

Aunt Yang pointed to the bag and said, "The black bag contains fish, put this bag in the first crisper in the kitchen, don't freeze it." ”

"The red bag is beef inside, put this bag in the second freezer in the kitchen, and freeze it when you don't need it for a while."

"Inside the white bag is ......"

After Aunt Yang finished explaining, the two worked together to move the bags into the kitchen.

It was almost 9:30, and Liao Su thought that Aunt Yang was going to open the door for business, but she didn't expect Aunt Yang to close the door halfway.

Liao Su was a little curious and asked, "Aunt Yang, it's almost 9:30, why don't you open the door yet?" ”

Aunt Yang replied: "Don't be in a hurry, make fish dumplings today, you help me get two pots, and I will teach you." ”

Liao Su was a little confused, and said to himself: "Teach me ......"

While preparing, Aunt Yang said: "This is the simplest and least common, it is only available on Sundays, and I can't be busy alone." ”

Liao Su handed over the basin and nodded in agreement, "Okay." ”

Aunt Yang took out two fish, which seemed to be grass carp, she separated the fish bones from the fish meat, and then took half of the fish meat to Liao Su.

Then, Aunt Yang said: "Like me, use a knife to cut over the fish, so that the fish meat will not have thorns." “

"Be careful when handling it, you can't have any thorns, you can slow down, but you must be careful."

Liao Su replied, "Okay." ”

Liao Su slowly paddled the fish, because it was the first time to deal with the fish, Liao Su was still more worried about the fear of mixed meat and fish bones.

Aunt Yang then said: "By the way, the fish skin is gone, just keep the fish meat." ”

Liao Su carefully shaved the fish meat and replied, "Got it." ”

After a while, the two of them had already made a small pot of minced fish meat, and Aunt Yang put down the knife in her hand.

said to Liao Su: "The minced fish should be fresh, so this must be freshly cooked and put a little seasoning in it." “

"But be careful, don't put too much, otherwise the fish paste will lose its umami."

"To make fish dumplings, the skin used is wonton skin, because the skin is thin, the fish is easy to cook, and the wrapping method is the same."

"Now I'll teach you how to make this soup, the soup for cooking fish dumplings should be boiled with fish bones, I have stewed it last night for today's use, I'll tell you the steps of this fish soup."

"First, fry the surface of the fish bones, then remove them, remove the oil, otherwise the soup will be greasy, and then wrap the fish bones with gauze to prevent the fish from piercing into the soup."

"Then add boiling water, be sure to boil the water, otherwise the fish soup will not be white."

"After boiling, put in two cartons of pure milk, continue to boil, simmer for at least four hours, and continue to heat with coal."

"The most important thing is that the dumplings served to the guests are each two spoonfuls of soup, not too much or too little."

After listening to this, Liao Su said, "Okay." ”

After everything was ready, it was already around eleven o'clock, Aunt Yang opened the door, and the guests came one after another.

A guest asked, "Boss, it's fish dumplings today, right?" ”

Aunt Yang replied loudly, "Yes, how many copies do you want?" ”

The guest responded, "Let's serve two first." ”

Aunt Yang said as she walked to the back kitchen, "Okay." ”

After entering the back kitchen, Aunt Yang said: "Only fish dumplings are sold by portions, and the other dumplings are sold by catties, and one serving of fish dumplings is 13, don't order more." ”

Liao Su nodded and said, "Understood." ”

Aunt Yang asked, "Do you know how to remove fish bones and fish bones?" ”

Liao Su said: "I just looked at it, it should be okay." ”

Aunt Yang continued: "Then while this meeting is not busy, I will go and remove a few fish bones, you can learn to make fish paste now, and then you will start to learn to remove fish bones." ”

Liao Su said, "Okay. ”

Aunt Yang said: "There is a pair of gloves over there, you can put on the fish bones, be careful not to hurt your hands." ”

Liao Su smiled and said, "I'll be careful." ”

After a while, Aunt Yang had already gone to 3 fish bones, and Liao Su was still slowly paddling the fish paste on the side.

Liao Su asked, "Aunt Yang, I made fish dumplings today, what about those dumplings I made in the morning?" ”

Aunt Yang asked, "How much did you pack in the morning?" ”

Liao Su thought about it for a moment and replied, "I have a very clear place on the plate, 245 pieces. ”

Aunt Yang said with a smile: "Every Sunday, Xicheng Hotel has to come to collect 300 dumplings, and if there are those that are not packed, wait for noon to wrap them, and make fish paste first." ”

Liao Su said, "Okay. ”

Later, he added: I don't think this speed is good, and there won't be so many dumplings sold at night.

Aunt Yang said, "It's okay, there are other arrangements for the evening." ”

Liao Su wanted to ask again, but there were guests outside, so Aunt Yang hurriedly went out to say hello, and Liao Su didn't ask.
