After river fish came on the market, there were many river fish dishes on the Chollima Restaurant's order list.
The buyer is purchasing large quantities these days, and suppliers often give him various kinds of river fish.
The river fish was so fresh that the whole family couldn't finish it, so Sun Wei would throw a few river fish into the kitchen as a favor almost every now and then.
In the morning, it was Zhao Meng's turn to organize the staff meal. Fu Yu glanced at the four crucian carp trapped in the pool, and his eyes lit up.
This crucian carp looks quite fat!
Since he started leaving early every night, Fu Yu took the initiative to take on the responsibility of cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
During this period, Sun Qingning and Zhang Jinyu also woke up early and came to the kitchen to help share the burden.
But on the one hand, his craftsmanship was indeed not as good as Fu Yu's, and on the other hand, he gave up after realizing that Fu Yu really wanted to make breakfast for everyone.
In fact, Fu Yu was willing to make breakfast for everyone, and everyone was very happy.
In addition to Fu Yu's excellent cooking skills and delicious breakfast, everyone was so happy to be able to sleep in after a hard day's work!
It is said that eating people is short-tongued, but Fu Yu is fastidious in doing things, and everyone has a better impression of him.
As for leaving early every day, they kept silent about it. As long as the leaders didn't pursue it, they would turn a blind eye and pretend they didn't pay attention.
Fu Yu came early and there was no one else to help with the cooking. He stood by the pool and rolled up his sleeves to catch fish.
Fu Yu did it very quickly when dealing with live fish.
He first removes the scales, gills and internal organs of the crucian carp, then washes and drains it.
Heat a pot and add cooked lard.
Lard is a good thing, and its aroma-improvement effect is particularly significant.
When the oil is hot, fry the fish in two batches.
This step is the key to whether the fish soup is delicious.
Pay special attention when frying, and there must be no burnt spots on the fish skin.
It's a pity that there is no eel, otherwise the soup would be more delicious if the eel bones were used together.
"It smells so good! Chef Fu, are you making fish soup?" Zhang Jinyu walked into the kitchen with a worried look on his face.
He has been living a very comfortable life recently.
At work, Fu Yu is taking care of him, so he rarely does difficult and tiring work.
I usually do odd jobs and help in the kitchen. Occasionally, I can learn how to cook some of the store's special dishes from Fu Yu, and even have the opportunity to cook twice.
Food is more plentiful than others. Fu Yu is handy, and when he has free time, he will think of making some snacks to satisfy his cravings, and will also give them to people around him.
However, the quantity was limited. In the kitchen, apart from Zhao Meng and Sun Qingning, Zhang Jinyu ate the most.
It is said that the heart is wide and the body is fat, but Zhang Jinyu feels that the waistband of his pants has become a bit tight recently.
Zhang Jinyu came closer and took a look, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yo! Crucian carp soup!"
Fu Yu responded casually: "I will make fish soup noodles for you in the morning. There happened to be a lot of noodles left over at Bai An yesterday. When I took inventory last night, I saw that they were all stored in the refrigerator."
Zhang Jinyu immediately clapped his hands and cheered. Seeing that Fu Yu was about to make soup, he hurriedly helped to get the water.
After Fu Yu put water into the pot, he poured the fried crucian carp into the pot and brought it to a boil.
After the soup turns white, add the lard used to fry the fish just now and cook it thoroughly over high heat.
Fu Yu was originally busy cooking, but he accidentally saw Zhang Jinyu standing nearby and watching with a serious look on his face, so he specifically pointed out: "When making this fish soup noodle, the oil used must be lard, and the oil added to the fish soup is lard." It must be the crude oil after frying the fish, so that the stewed fish soup tastes particularly authentic."
Zhang Jinyu wrote it down carefully.
Fu Yu warned again: "Because crude oil is used, you must turn the fish carefully when frying. The skin must not stick to the pot."
Zhang Jinyu looked at the lard that Fu Yu poured into the fish soup. Because it had been fried, the color was darker, but the oil quality could be seen to be very clear.
Zhang Jinyu couldn't help but sigh: "Fu Chu, the fire requirements for this frying are too high! For someone like me, without three or five years of practice, I will definitely not be able to reach this level."
Fu Yu smiled: "Besides practicing more, there is really no other shortcut to fire control skills."
In his words, he did not deny Zhang Jinyu's words.
The skill of controlling heat is one of the most important skills in cooking operations. If you want to master it well, you can only practice more and slowly accumulate experience.
Zhang Jinyu nodded and thought to himself: People are really more likely to die than others!
Fish soup was boiling in the pot, and Fu Yu asked Zhang Jinyu to get noodles.
After the fish soup in the pot is cooked through, filter it twice to remove the fish residue.
Zhang Jinyu habitually stepped forward to help with the filtering work. He turned over the fish residue and wanted to throw it away, but Fu Yu stopped him.
"Don't throw away the fish scraps, I'm still useful!"
Zhang Jinyu was stunned. If the fish residue was kept to make soup, what would be done with it?
However, he only thought about this idea for a moment, and he did not ask.
After such a long period of cooperation, Zhang Jinyu already knew Fu Yu very well.
I know that in terms of cooking, all Fu Yu's requests must be meaningful and will never be without purpose.
Pour all the cooked fish bones into the iron pot, dry them over slow fire first, then mix the white soup into the pot in three batches, add Shaoxing wine, ginger and green onions, cook them thoroughly, and filter through a fine soup sieve.
Zhang Jinyu hurried forward to do the filtering work, and couldn't help but said: "So the fish bones still need to be dried and boiled?"
Fu Yu smiled: "This way we can thoroughly cook out the flavor in the fish bones. It's a pity that there are no shrimp roe, otherwise, this pot of soup would be so fresh that you'd lose your teeth."
Zhang Jinyu secretly smacked his tongue. This pot of fish soup looked so delicious, but he could still add shrimp roe to make it more fragrant?
When it comes to cooking, Fu Yu knows so many things!
They all started out as odd jobs in the kitchen, so how could Fu Yu be so good?
Zhang Jinyu felt shy and ambitious. She ate two large bowls of fragrant fish noodle soup for breakfast. The body is your capital. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work hard and seriously hone your cooking skills!
Before the meal order was delivered in the morning, Fu Yu took a moment to fry the pine nuts he brought from home.
Fu Ma brought a heavy bag, and Fu Yu cooked a whole pot, setting aside a portion for each of Zhao Meng and Liu Yuqing, and sharing the rest with the others in the kitchen.
Fu Yu handed a large bowl of hot pine nuts to Zhao Meng: "When it cools down, take it back and give it to Sister Dai and Bao'er to try. The pine nuts grown in the mountains over our home are very fragrant!"
Zhao Meng didn't expect that Fu Yu would think of this. He felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "I know, it just so happens that Bao'er likes to eat this. I'll thank you on her behalf."
Fu Yu said with a smile: "Bao'er likes it? That's easy to say. I'll ask my mother to mail it to me in autumn. I have plenty of this stuff at home!"
Several people at the front desk also ate fragrant fried pine nuts through Liu Yuqing's guidance.
The front desk clerk said sincerely: "Xiao Qing, Chef Fu is so kind to you. There are so few men who know how to love their girlfriends like him!"
When Jiang Mo heard this, he immediately agreed: "No, Xiaoqing is really lucky. Fu Yuren is very kind. You must not let Fu Chu down in the future and treat him well!"
When the front desk clerk heard this, before Liu Yuqing could speak, he couldn't help but joked: "No, Xiao Jiang, are you trying to take advantage of Xiao Qing? Look at your obsession with the chef!"
Jiang Mo hurriedly defended: "I'm not obsessed with the chef, that's worship!"
Hearing this, Liu Yuqing smiled and stuffed a peeled pine nut into Jiang Mo's mouth: "Sister Jiang, I believe you. Let's eat the pine nuts fried by your idol and ignore her!"
The front desk clerk suddenly laughed and said: "Oh, you were just kidding!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but said happily: "But let's not talk about Jiang Mo. There are quite a few people in our store who admire Chef Fu. Xiaoqing, you are really discerning. Chef Fu is not only handsome but also has a good personality. His art is also very impressive.”
Mentioning Fu Yu's merits, Jiang Mo immediately turned his enemies into friends and said with bright eyes: "Yes, and Chef Fu is also very hard-working. We are the kitchen chefs. Do you think anyone can make snacks? Whenever there is time, why don't we grab some snacks?" Smoke, just take the opportunity to rest!"
The front desk clerk said: "Fu Chu is making food for Xiao Qing!"
Jiang Mo hurriedly said: "That's right! This shows that Chef Fu knows how to care for his girlfriend, how considerate he is!"
Listening to them praising Fu Yu, Liu Yuqing's pretty face turned a little red. Just when she was feeling embarrassed, she heard a loud voice saying: "Hello, aunt! We want to order food!"
Liu Yuqing turned around when she heard the sound and saw three primary school students in school uniforms standing at the front desk looking at them.
Liu Yuqing raised her eyebrows and pretended to be angry: "Call me sister!"
The boy who spoke was stunned and looked at Liu Yuqing in surprise.
But the girl with the ponytail who followed him reacted quickly and said quickly: "Hello, sister, we want to order food!"
Liu Yuqing then smiled and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Is this right? Where are the adults in your family?"
These three elementary school students were wearing the uniforms of the No. 7 Elementary School near the hotel, one boy and two girls.
The boy who spoke before had a round face and small eyes. Hearing Liu Yuqing's question, he quickly said: "Our parents are not here. Today we are going to treat the teacher to dinner!"
The girl with the ponytail who just called her sister also said, "Yes, we want to order food!"
Liu Yuqing looked at them with great interest and couldn't help but ask: "Did you bring any money to order?"
At this time, the little girl standing at the end who had been silent suddenly said: "Can you enter the hotel if you don't have money? We have money!"
Yo! This little girl has quite a temper!
Jiang Mo quickly pulled Liu Yuqing behind the stage to signal her to stop joking.
The front desk clerk also struck up a conversation at the right time and asked tentatively: "You want to treat the teacher to dinner. Does your teacher know about this?"
The girl with the ponytail nodded: "We left a note for the teacher and put it on her desk. We also pressed it with her phone. She will see it as long as she takes the phone."
When the front desk clerk heard this, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Three elementary school students want to order food. Can they handle this customer?
If it is an ordinary small restaurant, especially one near a school, primary school students like this can also be accommodated as long as they are willing to spend money.
However, Chollima is not like other restaurants. Because it mainly serves seafood dishes, the prices are generally a bit high.
If you order a meal and wait for the food to arrive on the table, but cannot pay in the end, or if an adult in the family comes to find you, this will not be easy to handle!
The front desk clerk thought for a while and asked: "The food in our store is not cheap. How much money did you bring? Is it enough to order?"
The girl with the ponytail hurriedly said: "We brought money. The three of us have a total of three hundred pocket money!"
The little boy also said: "Yes, including the teacher, there are four of us in total. We want to order six dishes and one soup!"
When the front desk clerk heard this, he was a little dumbfounded: "Do you know how much a plate of the dishes in our store costs? Three hundred yuan is definitely not enough to order six dishes and one soup."
The ponytail girl and the little boy suddenly became anxious.
The little boy asked: "But we only have three hundred yuan! How many dishes can we order at most for three hundred yuan?"
The front desk clerk said helplessly: "I'll give you the cheapest dish, which is three dishes and one soup!"
The girl with the ponytail was confused: "But including the teacher, there are four of us! This is not enough to eat!"
The little boy also nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if it's not enough to eat. The main thing is that it doesn't look good. One dish is not enough for one person!"
The front desk clerk's usual job is mainly to receive customers, and basically encounter all kinds of things.
If a small customer like this can really spare the money and wants to order food, it's not really impossible to accommodate him.
After all, children nowadays have good living conditions and plenty of pocket money. If they want to have a big meal occasionally, they can't afford it.
Generally, few parents would go out of their way to argue with a store because their children spent money at a restaurant.
And although these three children were wearing elementary school uniforms, they looked like they were at least in fifth or sixth grade.
A child of this age should be sensible by now.
However, the reception was able to accommodate them, but they didn't bring enough money, so there was really nothing they could do about it.
The front desk clerk helped with suggestions: "The cost in our store is indeed a bit high. How about you think about it and try another hotel?"
The girl with the ponytail said immediately: "No, last time I came to have dinner with my mother, I saw the teacher eating here too. At that time, she even told my mother that the food cooked here is delicious!"
The boy also said: "Yes, we just want to invite the teacher to have dinner here!"
The front desk clerk said helplessly: "Then there's nothing we can do. Why don't you order two less dishes? If that doesn't work, we have to change places. We don't have enough money, and I can't help."
At this time, the little girl stepped forward again and said: "If a plate of dishes is so expensive, let's order a half plate! Don't restaurants now have half-plate events? Let's order six half-plate dishes and a soup. This time Okay?"
Half a dish of noodles?
This little girl knows quite a lot.
This year, in response to the call to save food and not waste it, many restaurants have launched half-portion events.
Because the effect was so good, it created a craze.
In fact, Chollima has considered this matter before, but the business in the store has always been very good, so there is no need to use such activities to promote sales and attract customers.
Moreover, it is too troublesome to cook half a portion of the dish, and the kitchen is simply too busy.
So it was settled.
