It was particularly interesting to see the confusion on Man Cheng's face. The facial features and eyebrows on the round face were all squeezed together, full of joy.
As a former chef, Yao Yuan had led various apprentices. After these two days of observation, he discovered that Mancheng had particularly rare potential.
Mancheng is a simple and honest man who is not afraid of getting dirty and does not hesitate to work hard. The key to being able to endure his temper is that he is also willing to use his brain. After being trained, he will definitely be a good material in the kitchen. Working with such a helper will make people feel happy. My heart is happy.
Mancheng himself once said that the small county town at home was very poor, and the desolate loess plateau rarely rained all year round. People, livestock, and crops all relied on the little rain given by God. Even the drought-resistant The old elm trees are half dead, not to mention those delicate crops.
Life is not easy for people on this loess plateau.
I finally got the opportunity to join the army and flew out of that poor mountain den. I have gained a future and broadened my horizons. Now that I have retired from the army, I will not be able to return to my hometown no matter what the hell.
Not only did Mancheng himself have to find a way to make a living outside, but he also had to take his parents out of the house so that the elderly people who had suffered all their lives could live the life that a human being should have.
Therefore, he went round and round to find a comrade-in-arms relationship, hoping to stay in Pingcheng and enter the cafeteria of the Bureau of Foreign Languages. Even if he could work as a helper in the kitchen of a national unit, it would be regarded as an iron rice bowl within the system.
Even if you can't become a helper, even if you go to a production base to raise pigs, that's still the first step.
But these two days when Yao Yuan went out to set up a stall, the door to a whole new world suddenly opened, causing Mancheng's initial ideals to waver a little.
The freedom and unrestrained feeling of setting up a stall on the street was something he had never felt in his several years in the disciplined forces.
There is no need to stand in a military posture, no one cares about appearance and appearance, you can say whatever you want and do whatever you want. There are no longer superiors or subordinates, and there is no such thing as being late or leaving early.
The busy traffic on the road, the revolving door of diners and buyers, buying and selling among casual chats and laughters, make the whole city experience a feeling of being truly alive, and that feeling is called freedom.
Also, as long as you have some skills in big cities, it seems easy to make money. It feels like a magic trick. As long as there is a braised pork stall, there will be people lining up to give you money.
When he was in the army, his monthly allowance was more than ten yuan. If he could join a state unit, his monthly salary would be hundreds of yuan. This amount of money was already the annual income of a farmer's family in his hometown county.
But at the night market last night, his income that night was already several hundred, and this number shocked him even more.
With money, you can survive in this peaceful city of Noda, and you can bring the elderly in your family over to live a good life for a few days. This simple account can be easily calculated in Mancheng.
It's a pity that I don't have such skills!
Yesterday, he watched the operation process of braised pork very carefully. Although his experience in the past few years was limited to doing chores in the kitchen, he could still understand some of the most basic operations. He found that the process of making fragrant cooked food was not the same. So complicated.
That is to say, the process is a bit cumbersome, but not too difficult to learn. During the operation, Yao Yuan's explanation was very detailed, such as why pig trotters, pig tails and the like must be burned over an open fire; for example, why all raw materials must be burned Cold water passed.
Perhaps the most difficult thing about making braised pork is grasping the taste. The seasoning packet in the braised pork soup should be the key to making it. I am afraid it is Master Yao's secret weapon.
This kind of seasoning packet is a secret that is not passed down in the hands of every master chef in the kitchen. It is a trick that chefs use to establish themselves in the kitchen. Generally, it is not passed down to the outside world. Even within my own family, it is passed down from male to female. .
Now that Yao Yuan suddenly proposed to hand over the stall to him, Mancheng couldn't help but think a little too much in an instant, and when he thought about it, the entanglement appeared on his face.
Is this pie in the sky?
Can such a good thing happen?
Mancheng hesitated for a long time before muttering in a low voice: "But I can't do it either?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I'll teach you?" Yao Yuan observed Man Cheng's expression and chuckled.
Being caught and taken to the police station today was still a bit irritating. Yao Yuan suddenly felt a little dissatisfied with what he was doing now.
I set up a braised pork stall to make money, and now I have a hot head and set up a braised pork stall, which is a bit cumbersome.
Didn’t you agree to enjoy life?
But the catering industry is about diligence. Since it is about diligence, if you don’t devote yourself to it, you will definitely not do well.
That pot of braised food has already been cut corners when it comes to processing. Fortunately, people's tastes are not so sophisticated at this time, and there are no competitors at all. As long as the quality of the product is above the standard, it can be sold.
The braised pork and bacon made yesterday also saved a lot of work. Although the taste was pretty good, Yao Yuan knew that if he wanted to continue this stall for a long time, he would have to take it seriously. No cheating or cheating is allowed.
Apart from anything else, good braised pork is all about a pot of old soup. Just maintaining this pot of old soup is not easy to do in my current situation.
Each ingredient needs to be treated separately, and the spices and seasonings used are different. Braised chicken and braised elbows must emphasize the flavor of kaempferia and angelica, while water and the like require a heavy five-spice flavor. These cannot be used casually. Foolishly, if you want to keep this braised pork stall open for a long time, you must take it seriously.
But after all, I am still a student. Once school starts, where will I find so much energy to serve these people?
After all, I have spent so much effort, identified the market, and found cheap ingredients. Through on-site sales, I have proven that this road will definitely work. It would be a pity if it was abandoned just like this.
Whether it is a braised pork stall or a braised pork stall, you must ask for help.
So Yao Yuan came up with the idea of handing over the entire braised pork stall to Mancheng.
From now on, Mancheng will be responsible for the work, and he will provide some technical guidance on the side, and everyone will be able to make money easily.
Gradually, the surprise on Man Cheng's face could no longer be concealed: "I, can I?"
"Okay? Just remove the word '?'! Mancheng, let's just make braised pork, what's the problem? Just do it like yesterday. I guarantee you'll learn it in less than ten days!"
After saying that, Yao Yuan took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which was densely filled with various spices and their ratios: "This is the seasoning ratio of the stewed soup. The order is large this afternoon, and the ingredient package needs to be re-made." Come on, after dinner you go to the market with me, and let’s find all these spices first.”
"Panthoxylum bungeanum, aniseed, angelica dahurica, nutmeg, cumin, amomum villosum, galangal..."
Looking at the more than 20 kinds of seasonings and ratios listed on the note, Mancheng was a little overjoyed and a little confused at the same time.
This is the secret recipe, right? This inconspicuous piece of paper details the proportions of various seasonings. With this secret recipe, we can!
In an instant, Mancheng forgot about his plan to fuck the swineherd. He looked at the note full of words with little stars in his eyes.
Yao Yuan casually took out the note and handed it to Mancheng, but he didn't notice that he took out another note from his pocket and dropped it on the table.
Xiao Hua'er had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed the note that fell on the table: "No, brother, why do you feel that you are a little different from before recently? Why are you still making braised pork?"
As he spoke, he casually opened the note, then was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows suddenly stood up, he slapped the note on the table and became furious: "A fine from the police station?! Five yuan fine for fighting?! Yao Yuan'er! You! First, tell me what’s going on with this fine?!”
