Zhao Meng has always been a very responsible person.
Regardless of what happened with Gu Yunwu, now that I have heard about this matter, I can't sit still.
After changing his clothes, he took Fu Yu and trotted all the way to the kitchen.
Fortunately, the dormitory is located inside the hotel, not far from the kitchen.
Zhao Meng walked in a hurry, and Fu Yu had quick legs and feet. It took them less than two minutes to reach the kitchen in tandem.
As soon as they entered, they saw Gu Yunwu and Yao Yihang busy playing spoons side by side.
The waiters were rushing around in a hurry, but the food in the pot wasn't ready yet.
A few workers on the night shift were busy preparing side dishes.
There was a slight movement in the passage specially used for ordering staff in the front office to hand out orders and seafood, and everyone in the back kitchen felt their hearts skip a beat.
Gu Yunwu was sweating profusely: "Xiao Yao, how are you doing there?"
Yao Yihang was also a little anxious: "This dish will take a few minutes to be ready. The key is to put it on the plate and add the dipping sauce. It's fast to take it away in ten minutes!"
The anxious Gu Yunwu couldn't help but start swearing!
He was still holding a few orders and had not finished serving the food, but the waiter over there came over again to urge him.
No matter how urgent you are, you have to finish cooking the dishes in the pot before you can free your hands!
I don’t know if these big eaters are really gifted. They have two more stomachs than ordinary people!
Why are these ones so edible!
This spicy stir-fried seafood chowder also uses quite a lot of ingredients. After frying, it is served directly in a copper basin. Although the copper basin has a shallow bottom, the amount of ingredients used in this dish is considerable!
Normal people can eat one portion with some rice, and two portions are enough.
Now this group of people is doing well. I heard that there are two big eaters in total. How is the result?
Just add ten portions of vegetables!
Why don't you kill them?
Among the ingredients in this spicy stir-fried seafood stew, the yellow clams spit out sand, which is easy to handle.
But octopuses, shrimps, and crabs are all alive, so it’s quite troublesome to handle them one by one.
For a time, several workers were sweating profusely.
what to do?
Yao Yihang was extremely anxious: "Boss, didn't you say that Chef Zhao promised to come over? The dormitory is so close, why hasn't he come yet! If you don't come over, the customer side will explode!"
Gu Yunwu is even more anxious!
I have a pile of ordering orders in my hand that I haven't finished yet, and now there is a waiter urging me beside me as if chanting sutras, which makes me very upset and angry.
Hearing Yao Yihang say this, he said angrily: "Who the hell knows! What's going on, why don't you come here quickly!"
Both of them were a little grumpy. They were already anxious about this kind of thing and wished they could grow two more arms!
But there was nothing we could do, so we had to call for help.
At this time, Zhao Meng and Fu Yu ran in panting: "What are you yelling about! Hurry, the ingredients are prepared! Bring them here!!"
Seeing Zhao Meng and Fu Yu coming over, everyone in the kitchen immediately seemed to have seen a savior.
"Chef Zhao, Chef Fu! You are here!!"
Gu Yunwu stopped cursing and said hurriedly: "Old Zhao, hurry up! The customers are working hard to get the food served!"
Zhao Meng didn't say much. He quickly checked the food preparation situation. After he knew what was going on, he frowned and said, "This yellow clam is only enough to fry more than a dozen servings. I don't know if it is enough!"
Yellow clams need to be vomited overnight in advance. The quantity prepared in the store was originally sufficient, but suddenly such a group of big eaters came.
If there were unlimited refills, we would definitely not be able to supply them.
The various ingredients that have been processed are gradually moved to the kitchen table for later use.
Zhao Meng and Fu Yu both fired the stove at the same time.
Due to temporary overtime work and insufficient manpower, neither Gu Yunwu's nor Zhao Meng's chefs were available to help cook.
Fu Yu picked out the ingredients he needed and started cooking.
Heat the pan, add oil and stir-fry onion, ginger and garlic.
Add the store's special base ingredients and stir-fry.
This base material is cooked two days in advance, packed in large barrels and stored in a cold storage, ready for use.
Fu Yu also used to stir-fry food when he was working as a laborer.
The various weighed condiments are placed in trays in order, and the workers are scheduled to take turns to fry.
This job is actually not tiring. There is a special stir-frying machine in the store. You only need to take the time to pour in various seasonings.
And you don’t have to worry about someone stealing the recipe.
This seasoning is different from other things. One minute more or less will make a big difference in taste.
If you don’t know the precise proportions, there’s no way you can steal them.
After the base ingredients are fried, add crabs and shrimps and stir-fry.
This is a tiring job, there are only four crabs and half a catty of shrimps.
When frying, you need to stir the spoon constantly to ensure even heating and even penetration of the base.
When it's almost done, add some more water, cover the pot, and simmer for three minutes.
As soon as the arm regains its strength, add half a pound of octopus and continue to stir-fry.
When the tail of the octopus rises, add half a pound of yellow clams and stir-fry.
At this time, the ingredients in the pot weighed almost two kilograms, including the heavy wok.
It will take at least nearly five minutes to stir the spoon back and forth.
The yellow clam can't be taken out of the pot until it opens its mouth.
Soon, two portions of spicy stir-fried seafood were served.
The waiter felt relieved and could finally do his job.
Before leaving, he did not forget to remind: "Chef Zhao, Chef Fu, these 313 customers eat very fast, we'd better order and serve quickly!"
Zhao Meng agreed, started preparing the ingredients again, and continued to fry the next pot.
I ordered six portions of spicy stir-fried seafood chowder.
I have worked hard all day during the day, and at night, I still have to work hard.
Fu Yu felt that his right arm was already a little sore.
He was like this, and it was even more difficult for Zhao Meng to persist.
When the heavy wok is turned, the weight on the wrist is very strong. When it is lifted, the joints in the bones begin to hurt again.
Zhao Meng gritted his teeth and endured.
Finally, two more portions were made.
If you keep persisting, you will almost complete the task.
At this time, the order clerk suddenly came over and reported: "The customers in box 313 have added ten more spicy stir-fried seafood chowder!"
Zhao Meng's expression changed!
If he continues like this, he will definitely suffer from tenosynovitis, and he will suffer tomorrow!
As a result, the more worried you are, the more trouble will happen.
After the next pot, as soon as he put the octopus into the pot, he raised his hand to shake the spoon. With just one movement, his wrist suddenly felt a stabbing pain like a needle, and he immediately lost his strength.
Zhao Meng hurriedly turned off the fire, and while shaking the spoon with his left hand, he turned around and called Fu Yu: "Fu Yu, hurry up, take the pot from me when you're done, my hand is sick and I can't use the strength!"
"OK!"
Fu Yu is just about to get ready.
He quickly arranged the dishes, passed them to the waiter, and hurried over to Zhao Meng's side to continue cooking.
Zhao Meng has a long-standing problem with his hands.
It doesn't matter if you don't make a mistake, but if you make a mistake once and don't take good care of it for two days, you won't be able to use this skill at all.
Fu Yu was aware of Zhao Meng's situation and knew that Zhao Meng would definitely not be able to take charge next time.
As for Gu Yunwu, he had just seen the food waiter hand over two more orders, and he would definitely not be able to count on it for a while.
In addition to the pot in his hand, he also needs to independently cook ten portions of spicy stir-fried seafood.
He moved his wrist without leaving any trace.
It's terrible!
