Chapter 191 190. The Busiest Day
In fact, this effect is very scientific.
The water content of fresh peppers is 85%, which is considered low.
Normally, spiritual dishes are made with fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, etc., which have a water content of more than 90%.
After removing the water, the truly useful nutrients, or the ingredients containing free amino acids, only account for a dozen grams per pound, and the taste is already heavenly.
The chili peppers used to make chili oil are dried chili peppers that have been dried out.
120 grams, that’s real 120 grams, all dry goods.
Even if there is a little moisture, it is not much.
It takes 120 grams to make one pound of chili oil.
It is concentrated into this form, and then combined with the already fragrant rapeseed oil and lard, as well as so many kinds of spices, all of which are stimulated and blended together through a complex process.
Just think about how fragrant it would be.
It is no exaggeration to say that this effect can be achieved.
And then the result is.
Ten portions of dough are not enough.
Just a few chopsticks per person and it's gone.
The waiter was dumbfounded when he broke into the kitchen again.
Cried.
"You didn't leave us any..."
Embarrassed.
A bowl of dough, empty, all the bean sprouts had been picked out, only some vinegar soup and a few garlic residues were left.
The guys in the kitchen completely forgot about the waiters outside...
In addition to the waiter being forgotten, Master Xu on the other end of the video was forgotten again.
The old man watched through the video as a group of people were showing off their noodles in this place. Not only could he not eat or smell it, he couldn't even see it.
Before I could look twice, a big butt of someone unknown moved in front of me, blocking everything.
After Master Xu shouted a few times but no one responded, he imitated the most common comments in cooking videos and muttered, "I must get a phone that can smell."
I uploaded the video myself.
The waiter didn't even get a chance to taste the food, and Chef Xu didn't even watch. The kitchen helpers saw it and ate it, and they felt uncomfortable too.
There was too little, not enough to share. After finishing the meal, I was still craving for it and felt really upset.
The errand boy raised his hand cautiously and asked the bosses, "How about I go buy some more?"
Liu Piaoliang was very excited after hearing this and almost took out money.
At the last moment, she held back and angrily scolded him, "What are you eating? There are a lot of people waiting outside. Go see if the dough has risen. If it has, mix the dough and steam the buns. Hurry up."
"Hey." The kitchen helper shrank his neck and hurried to check the fermentation cabinet, "There are still 17 minutes."
When Master Lu saw that the boss was angry, he said nothing and quickly called out to the people, "Come on, come on, let me get some more chili. This time, double the amount, weigh out 240 grams of dried chili, and the rest of you prepare the ingredients."
Since the chef and the boss had spoken, the remaining three kitchen helpers did not dare to slack off and all got busy.
Liu Piaoliang nodded with satisfaction.
After taking a look around the kitchen, I walked to the refrigerator, took out a pack of cold steamed buns, and steamed them in a pot myself...
-
stab~
stab~
stab~
The second time making chili oil, we entered the stage of pouring oil.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Three strong aromas exploded one after another. Before the first wave had dissipated, the second wave came again, each one stronger and more alluring than the last.
The range hood didn't work at all.
The aroma flowed out through the kitchen door curtain and filled the lobby.
All the diners in the hall moved in unison, turned towards the kitchen, stretched their necks and inhaled deeply, their faces filled with intoxication.
Then there was a rumble of thunder and my stomach growled.
Then the aroma flowed down the stairs to the second floor, squeezed out of the cracks in the door, and poured into the mall...
It’s the same waiter from before.
He rushed in again and shouted, "Boss, Boss, go and have a look, there are more than ten customers. Master Lu, Master Lu, have you prepared the last order? The customers are waiting anxiously."
Liu Piaoliang put down the steamed buns he had steamed and ran out quickly.
Master Lu was sweating profusely and yelled to the waiter, "Wait, wait a minute, I'm busy."
When Luo Yihang saw this situation, he decided to stop sitting around.
After washing my hands, I found the kitchen helper who was kneading the dough and asked him to prepare some cold dishes first, so that at least something would be served.
I took the dough and kneaded it myself.
Master Lu prepared the second batch of chili oil, covered it with a lid, and quickly grilled the skewers.
Everyone in the kitchen is busy, kneading the dough, making the pot, and making steamed buns.
While they were busy, everyone glanced at Liu Piaoliang's steamed buns.
Break the hot steamed bun open and spread a spoonful of spicy oil and chili on it. It will be so delicious.
It smells so good!
Finally, the first pot of steamed buns was ready.
The four-layer large steamer can steam eight steamed buns on each layer, so there are thirty-two in one pot.
Adding the six guests from Liu Piaoliang, there should be enough customers in the store now.
"Hurry up, put it on a plate and take it out." Master Lu gave an order.
The kitchen helpers agreed in unison.
I picked up the big steamed buns that had just come out of the pot, they were still hot and soft. I picked one up and broke it in half, holding it in my hand while it was steaming.
Scoop up a spoonful of red chili oil, half of which is dry ingredients and half is oil, pour it on half of the chili, then use the spoon to swirl it around and spread it evenly.
The chili peppers were spread evenly on the steamed buns. As soon as they touched, the red chili oil had already seeped into the buns, dyeing a layer of snow-white buns red.
Then put the other half of the bun on top, close it up and press it gently. Drops of thick red oil are squeezed out and flow down along the smooth bun skin, drawing red marks, like a circle of ribbon wrapped around the bun.
It’s unbearable just to look at it, let alone to smell it.
The cooled chili oil was stimulated by the hot steamed buns, and the strong aroma returned to the time when it was just out of the pot, mixed with the aroma of wheat...
The kitchen helper's hands were shaking as he was breaking the steamed buns and smearing chili on them, and he wanted to stuff them directly into his mouth several times.
This won't work.
Liu Piaoliang was outside comforting the customers, and Luo Yihang was the most senior person in the kitchen and had the responsibility to take charge.
Luo Yihang clapped his hands and asked everyone to stop. "Everyone take one and try it first. After you finish eating, you can continue working."
What a great boss! His loyalty level skyrocketed by 260.
The kitchen helper who was spreading the steamed buns was particularly knowledgeable. He quickly put the one he had just made on a plate and handed it to Luo Yihang with both hands.
Luo Yihang took it, turned around quickly and applied one on himself, not caring whether it was hot or not, and half of it was gone in one gulp.
Luo Yihang also picked up the spicy steamed bun and took a bite.
Oh my god, this has a different flavor.
The dough is cold, but it is fragrant and memorable when coated with chili.
This steamed bun is hot, and it tastes spicy and fragrant when you put it in your mouth. While retaining the fragrance and richness, it reduces some of the aftertaste, but increases the stimulation!
It’s all good. It’s all good.
There were six people in the kitchen, and six big steamed buns. Including the time to break them apart and apply chili, it took less than a minute to finish them all.
The fastest one took two bites, and the slowest only took four.
That was so fast.
After slightly alleviating his craving, Luo Yihang announced that after sending the guests away today, whatever was left would be ours.
With more confidence, your efficiency will increase by three points.
Pick up the big steamed buns one by one, break them open, smear a spoonful of chili on them, and put them in small plates to be sent out.
There was a jubilation in the lobby outside.
It was like entering a street cursing contest, "F*ck!", "Awesome!", "Oh my god!", "Any more! Give me some more! This is enough for everyone!"
The sound of bold words is heard everywhere.
The same waiter rushed in again, "Master Lu, we don't have enough steamed buns, do you have any more?"
"No more. The next pot has just been steamed." Master Lu replied.
It’s strange, there are only twenty or thirty people outside, how come it’s not enough?
"Boss, what are you talking about twenty or thirty people? There should be over a hundred. Many more have arrived." The waiter shouted and rushed out.
Luo Yihang also went out to take a look.
My goodness, there is no place to step outside, it is packed with people, and some are even walking down from the upper floors.
The waiter who had just left was struggling to walk through the crowd and collect the plates.
Liu Piaoliang was also submerged and no one knew where she was.
Some guests even quarreled, "You've already finished eating, why don't you leave quickly and make room!", "The dishes I ordered haven't been served yet, why are you leaving? It's been more than an hour."
A few people came in to ask for steamed buns, praising their taste and asking what was going on here.
It's noisy and chaotic, much more lively than a vegetable market.
Luo Yihang scratched his head, struggled to squeeze out from the main entrance, and went into the supermarket in the basement of the mall to buy a few steamers first.
The fermentation cabinet can ferment several bags of flour at a time, and there are enough people to knead the dough and make steamed buns, so a steamer is prepared.
Barbecue restaurants don’t usually use it.
After entering the supermarket, Luo Yihang bought a few steamers. When he came out, he found that there was also a staple food canteen here. He bought all the steamed buns there and asked someone to deliver them to the barbecue restaurant.
The arrival of the steamer and steamed buns solved the urgent problem.
Not enough chili again.
Master Lu sets up the wok and heats the oil to prepare the third wave.
Stab, sting.
Once the fragrance hits you, it’s all over.
There are crowds of people in the mall, shopping? Shopping in a mess!
There were so many people that Manager Wu of the mall was alarmed. He dispatched eight security guards to the door to maintain order. He himself made his way through the crowd and finally found Liu Piaoliang.
"Boss Liu, what are you doing? Why didn't you notify me beforehand about the event so I can make arrangements for you guys?"
Liu Piaoliang was so anxious that her voice became hoarse. "I didn't expect this. I just tried a new dish, and it tasted so good that it attracted so many people. I can't do business anymore."
"Why are you still doing business? Let's just stop for today and evacuate everyone. Let's do this..."
The incident happened suddenly, so we just treated it as a holiday.
The two doors, upstairs and downstairs, are blocked by tables.
There are two waiters for each service, one to break the steamed buns and the other to spread the chili. No need for plates or anything, just use a napkin to hold it.
The guests also lined up in long queues and were led away one by one, with security guards maintaining order.
Luo Yihang asked expert Ma to drive and brought the three little Luos as well.
There are not enough people, come and help.
When the four of them arrived, they were all shocked. What was going on? Why were they queuing up to get eggs?
It’s much more lively than collecting eggs.
Luo Yihang answered the phone and asked them to come in through the back door and not to waste time talking.
"Two of you go to the supermarket downstairs to buy flour, and the remaining two run errands in the store. Hurry up and don't delay."
Manager Wu was also in the store. He rushed over and said quickly, "I'll ask the supermarket to deliver the flour. You guys go upstairs to replace the people. The people upstairs can't handle it anymore..."
