Chapter 170 Crisp, Sweet and Fresh Winter Melon Candy! Junior Brother, Show Qiu Qiu Your Skills! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】

Shu Yun led Mr. Jin and others to table nine, poured tea for them one by one, and then hurried towards the small restaurant where the employees ate.

The braised pork dish cannot be made fresh.

And the customer paid a high price to buy it.

Her only option was to take the braised pork away from the staff's table.

In the small restaurant.

Cheng Jianshe, who couldn't find rice, had to bring some rice prepared for customers.

After serving himself a bowl, he sat down and eagerly picked up a piece of braised pork and tasted it.

Well, this braised pork is really authentic.

No wonder the rice in the staff meal was finished.

With this braised pork, you can definitely eat an extra bowl of rice.

When he mentioned rice, he remembered what he had said during lunch, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I originally thought that Master Lin was young and arrogant, but he didn't expect that he had little experience.

It’s true that a hero comes from a boy.

I remember when I was in my twenties, I was just a helper who only knew how to cut meat.

However, Master Lin has already taken charge of his own business, and his craftsmanship is no less than that of Master Touzao who is responsible for the finale.

Maybe this is talent!

Cheng Jianshe was filled with emotion.

After eating two more pieces, the braised pork on the table was already finished.

But it’s okay. There are still some in the thermos basin next to it. This is prepared for employees who come late. Cheng Jianshe plans to collect some.

However, he just walked over with a plate.

I saw Manager Shu at the front desk hurriedly walked over and took away the remaining braised pork in the thermos...

what's the situation?

I just started eating it! ! ! !

Cheng Jianshe asked somewhat unhappily:

"Manager Shu, what do you mean?"

Everyone knows that today’s braised pork is delicious, but it’s too outrageous for you to just take away the pot, isn’t it?

Why don't you just put the rice in?

At the table next to him, Xie Baomin, who was praising Lin Xu for his skill, also looked over:

"What's going on, Xiao Shu?"

Shu Yun explained:

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Jin, a regular customer of our store, came to eat. Seeing that the braised pork in my bowl was good, he came up with two thousand to buy one to try..."

Xie Baomin was a little unhappy at first.

A front desk manager suddenly came over and took away the dishes left for the staff. Doesn't this look down on me, the executive chef?

However, I heard that someone spent two thousand yuan to buy braised pork.

He immediately picked up the braised pork in front of him and handed it over:

"Come on, come on, I haven't touched this plate yet, take it away too!"

Ho...

I was worrying about how to increase the restaurant's turnover, but I actually met a customer who paid a high price to buy braised pork. So why should I hesitate?

Lin Xu on the side was secretly speechless.

It only costs two thousand to buy a fan of pork, but someone actually spends so much money for a few pieces of braised pork... He glanced at the braised pork on several tables, and suddenly felt heartbroken.

Today's dinner will probably cost more than 10,000 yuan.

No wonder the senior brother became excited when he heard the price.

But there’s no need to sell the braised pork that the employees are eating, right? It wouldn’t sound good if word got out.

He said to Xie Baomin:

"Brother, put it down. There is still braised pork in the pot."

When I made braised pork today, I deliberately made more braised pork and planned to let Shen Baobao take it home to eat. But since there are customers buying it, it naturally has to be sold in the store.

After all, this is related to senior brother's performance.

When Xie Baomin heard it, there was still more.

Then he put the plate down.

But then he asked again:

"Is there much left? Is it enough for one serving?"

"Absolutely enough!"

How can the braised pork eaten by Shen Baobao and his family not be enough?

You look down on my father-in-law’s need for meat, right?

After confirming that there was braised pork, Shu Yun felt relieved. She put the thermos basin back to its original place, and then said to Lin Xu:

"Thank you, Boss Lin. I'll ask the customer when they want to eat. Then the waiter will tell you to put it on the plate."

After saying that, she hurried to the front desk.

Communicate with the customer first, and then finish the remaining rice.

Well, such a delicious dish cannot be wasted!

Because the chefs in the back kitchen take turns cooking, and I don’t know when Boss Lin will cook next, so I have to eat as much as possible today, or at least do some more rope dancing when I get off work.

After eating and drinking enough.

According to the regulations of the kitchen, the chef responsible for cooking must also be responsible for arranging the tables, chairs and tableware. However, just as he was about to start, Cheng Jianshe came over when his stomach was full from eating:

"Master Lin, don't you still have to serve the braised pork to the customers? Go and prepare it quickly. Leave this small job to me. I was careless at noon. Next time it's your turn to cook, I'll steam it more. rice."

The customer outside didn't know when he wanted meat, and Lin Xu wasn't polite to him.

Wiping his hands with a towel, he went to his stove.

It didn't take long.

The waiter came to announce that braised pork was on the way.

Lin Xu opened the lid of the casserole.

Use chopsticks to carefully place the braised pork inside on the plate, with the skin facing up. The red meat is trembling, making you want to take a bite.

Depending on how much was left, he arranged a four-by-four square on the plate, with each piece of meat next to each other.

After setting it up, pour the soup from the casserole over the meat. This not only makes the color of the meat more rosy and shiny, but also makes the aroma more intense.

The appearance immediately jumped to a higher level.

For such beautiful meat, adding other decorations would only look superfluous. Lin Xu handed it over directly to the waiter and started serving the food.

soon.

This plate of braised pork was brought to Mr. Jin’s table.

"Hey! The appearance is worthy of Diaoyutai, and the food the employees eat is outstanding."

The few people who were still chatting about business suddenly moved their index fingers.

No more business talk, let’s eat!

"This meat is really delicious, with just the right sweetness and texture. It's not too soft, but it's not hard to chew. It's great!"

"It's really delicious. I didn't expect there to be hidden food in Building 2."

"Lao Jin still has a sharp eye, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat such delicious braised pork."

"..."

Several people praised this braised pork.

In the kitchen, Xie Baomin found Lin Xu and was also talking about this dish.

"Junior brother, since the braised pork you make is so popular, let's just add the braised pork to the surprise menu in Building 2. What do you think?"

Lin Xu didn't have any objections.

Anyway, braised pork is not troublesome. Just fry the meat, add sugar and stew it in a casserole. It will not delay your vacation this month.

"Okay, senior brother, there's no problem with me."

"Junior brother, thank you for your trouble. I will give you more when I pay your salary at the end of the month."

More money?

That would be no problem!

But why the surprise menu?

He asked curiously:

“Can’t this dish just be served fresh?”

Xie Baomin shook his head:

"It's very difficult for restaurants in Diaoyutai to officially launch new dishes. Not only do the head chefs from each building come to taste them, but they also have to win the consent of more than half of the head chefs."

oh……

I understand what you said.

With the speed at which you offend people, I guess not many head chefs would agree to serve new dishes if the Jade Emperor was served.

after all……

Who would want to miss such an opportunity to add insult to injury?

But senior brother will also take advantage of loopholes.

Make a surprise menu.

It’s not officially new, but it doesn’t delay the sale.

The other head chefs really couldn't fault it.

It didn't take long.

All employees in Building 2 were notified that the braised pork dish was officially listed as a surprise menu item, and the front desk was responsible for promoting it.

But this matter has little to do with Lin Xu.

After he finished his work, he went home from get off work.

First take out the soaked winter melon strips and pumpkin strips in the refrigerator and change the water, then wash them several times, then continue soaking them in water and put them in the refrigerator.

Try not to eat lime, even if it is food grade.

Not only does it taste bad, but it can also easily hurt your stomach, so remove it as much as possible.

In order to achieve this purpose.

He changes the water every two hours.

Until late at night, after changing the water for the last time, I went to bed.

the next morning.

Wash the winter melon strips and pumpkin strips soaked overnight several times again.

Then boil a pot of water on the stove.

Boil the winter melon strips in water.

After cooking, the wax gourd strips have completely turned into a transparent state. When they are cooked in the pot, it is like boiling a pot of jade strips.

After cooking for about ten minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to take out the winter melon strips and put them into cold boiled water to continue soaking.

After cooking, it cannot be exposed to raw water, otherwise the winter melon candy will easily rot and deteriorate.

Use cold boiled water for soaking.

This will eliminate the possibility of deterioration.

After the winter melon was cooked, he cooked the pumpkin again and soaked it in cold boiled water.

Soak the two ingredients and continue to refrigerate.

Then he went to work with Dundun in his arms.

After get off work in the afternoon.

Take out the winter melon strips and pumpkin strips, place them in a clean and oil-free bamboo basket, and use a fan to dry the surface moisture.

Next it’s time for candiing.

There should not be any moisture or oil in this step, otherwise it will affect the final quality.

After the surface moisture is dried.

Lin Xu brought a deeper small basin, wiped it thoroughly with kitchen paper, and spread a layer of winter melon strips on the bottom of the basin. After spreading, sprinkled a layer of sugar, and then spread another layer.

Spread a layer of winter melon strips in this way and sprinkle with a layer of sugar, marinate all the winter melon strips, then sprinkle some white sugar on the top to seal, cover with plastic wrap, and continue to put it in the refrigerator.

Those pumpkin strips are also pickled using this method of one layer of ingredients and one layer of sugar, and then placed in the freezer of the refrigerator for storage.

Two days later on Friday afternoon.

After 48 hours of marinating.

Lin Xu took out two basins from the refrigerator.

When you remove the plastic wrap, you can see that the white sugar inside has melted, and now there is a layer of sugar liquid floating on the bottom of the basin.

It’s time for the last step – frying the frosting.

Lin Xu took a larger iron pot and put it on the stove. Then he poured the wax gourd strips and the syrup at the bottom of the pot into the pot, and slowly stir-fried over medium-low heat.

This step is to fry the excess moisture in the winter melon strips and at the same time allow the sugar to penetrate into the interior of the winter melon strips.

Soon, the sugar juice in the pot began to boil and became thicker and thicker.

Continue to stir-fry until the syrup hangs evenly on the surface of the winter melon strips.

When the syrup becomes thicker and thicker, the syrup hanging on the surface of the winter melon strips becomes thicker and thicker.

finally.

When the water in the syrup is fried, the syrup will change from a viscous and transparent state to a layer of dry white frost.

Lin Xu stir-fried a few more times, then poured the frosted winter melon strips in the pot into a large tray to cool.

This step is exactly the same as the sand-turning dishes and frosting dishes. It uses the principle that the syrup will crystallize into a white solid when it is fried.

The frosted winter melon strips look even more attractive.

Pick one up and put it into your mouth to take a bite. The white frost on the outside tastes like a rustling texture, but the winter melon inside is still crispy and translucent after you bite it open.

After chewing it twice, you will be filled with the freshness of winter melon and the sweetness of sugar.

It feels like eating nature in one bite.

tasty!

However, the winter melon candy hadn't completely cooled down yet. Lin Xu took advantage of this time to pour the pumpkin strips into the pot and fry them in the same way until they were frosty.

The fried pumpkin strips are golden in color.

Comparing it with winter melon candy, it looks like a gold gradient and a silver gradient.

Pinch one and put it into your mouth, bite it gently, and the rich and sweet flavor of pumpkin immediately fills your mouth. It tastes even stronger than winter melon candy.

As soon as I finished eating one, the system prompt sounded in my mind:

"The host successfully made perfect pumpkin candy using the method of making perfect winter melon candy. He completed the hidden task [draw inferences from one example] and was rewarded with a perfect meal learning card. Congratulations to the host."

What?

Another perfect meal learning card?

Then when Senior Brother Guo Weidong cooks roast suckling pig, wouldn't he be able to steal his master's advice quietly again?

Tsk tsk tsk...

The system is really planning to let me earn rewards in this copy of Diaoyutai.

It was already dark outside by now.

He put the cooled winter melon strips and pumpkin strips into two glass jars respectively, carried them downstairs, and walked into Uncle Yu's supermarket.

"Uncle, the winter melon candies and pumpkin bars are ready. I'll give you some to taste first."

"Oh, this candy looks beautiful!"

Uncle Yu came over and unscrewed the lid without any explanation and started tasting:

"Yeah, it's delicious. The winter melon has a strong flavor and is very crispy. It's exactly the same as the old-fashioned winter melon candy I had when I was young. Unfortunately, the ones sold on the street now are machine-processed and don't taste good."

After tasting the winter melon candy, he also tasted the pumpkin strips and was also full of praise.

"Boss Xiao Lin, I think with your skill in making winter melon candies, you won't be hungry even if you don't open a restaurant. If you open a shop selling old-fashioned candies, will the neighbors go crazy?"

He does not mean that.

Lin Xu suddenly remembered the previous task that asked him to invest in opening a store.

Could it be this winter melon candy?

But the sales volume of this product is very low. One or two sticks a day is usually enough, but you still need to monitor your blood sugar regularly. If you are not careful, you will become a sugar man.

So although this thing has feelings.

But if you open a store, you will most likely lose money.

Just save it.

the next morning.

Lin Xu went to Caoji for a bowl of mutton soup and two fried pancakes, and then drove Dundun to work in Diaoyutai.

Now Dundun is used to riding in a car.

Every time I get in the car, I lie down obediently on the passenger seat.

Occasionally when the sprinkler truck needs to start the wipers, this little guy's head will still swing with the wipers.

When the car drove into Diaoyutai.

Parking the car at the door of Building 2, Lin Xu got out of the car and carried Dundun to the restaurant.

"Dundun, did you miss me today?"

Shu Yun bent down and held the little guy in his arms, and then said to Lin Xu:

"I received three calls to order braised pork early in the morning. Boss Lin, your braised pork is becoming more and more famous. Many people come here to eat it."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"You still do a good job in marketing."

Since the store decided to serve braised pork, Shu Yun specially asked Lin Xu to make one, then set up the lights and carefully took a set of high-quality photos of the dish with a digital camera.

When a customer comes in to order, she takes out the tablet for the customer to admire.

The visual effects of the tablet are inherently good, and coupled with her good shooting skills, her rosy flesh and trembling appearance immediately shattered the customers' defenses.

The reputation of braised pork also spread quickly.

After the two exchanged business blows.

Lin Xu came to the kitchen.

First wipe the stove, clean the kitchen utensils and the like, and then start preparations for today.

Now we can sell seven or eight portions of braised pork per meal.

Lin Xu needs to prepare in advance.

Burn the meat skin with a spray gun, then scrape it clean with warm water.

Then cut the meat into four centimeter square pieces, wash it once, and put it into the pot for stir-frying.

While busy.

Xie Baomin and Shi Shiran came over.

"Junior brother, Qiu Zhenhua from Building 6 will come to our Building 2 this afternoon to see the crab roe buns you made. You can start preparing them after you finish the meat. If you don't have enough people, call for help. Everyone is idle anyway."

oh?

Doesn’t this mean that the task of upgrading crab roe buns is about to be completed?

Lin Xu didn't need anyone's help. He was completely busy by himself. He even had time to go to the aquatic area and chat with the fish and shrimp inside.

But when he thought that this was an opportunity to build relationships, he said:

"Then let Master Qin help me. I'm really busy on my own."

"OK!"

Xie Baomin agreed, and then shouted to Qin Wei who was not far away:

"Xiao Qin, please stop cooking today and come and help my junior brother. He needs someone to help here."

Qin Wei was a little surprised.

But he still nodded, put down what he was doing and walked over.

"Master Qin, can you make skin jelly?"

Qin Wei nodded.

"Where's the chicken soup skin jelly?"

Qin Wei nodded again.

"How about you watch me suffer later? Just point out what's wrong."

Qin Wei:? ? ? ? ?

Do you need help just to watch you work?

Although I was surprised.

But he finally nodded.

In this way, one of them worked and the other watched, and they were busy until the afternoon.

3pm.

Lin Xu dismantled the crabs and mixed them into fillings. By the way, he and Qin Wei, who were bored, took the dismantled crab shells and formed several new crabs like playing with Lego blocks.

While playing, Xie Baomin led Qiu Zhenhua to the kitchen.

"Qiu Qiu, although my junior brother can make crab roe buns and the ones he makes are pretty good, they are still different from what you make. You will have to give me some advice later. You can't hide your secrets."

Qiu Zhenhua rolled his eyes at him:

"Do you think I'm the same as you?"

"What's wrong with me? I never hide my secrets. If you don't believe me, you ask me to go to Building 6 to teach your chef to see if I can hide my secrets."

Xie Baomin's words made Qiu Zhenhua suddenly look like his plan had succeeded:

"Then I will teach you my junior brother wholeheartedly later, and you can also make your master's clear water hibiscus exactly as it is, so that I can learn more about it. How about it?"

"make a deal!!!!"

Xie Baomin shouted to Lin Xu:

"Junior brother, are you ready? Show your skills to Qiu Qiu, he is waiting to teach you!"

"okay!"
