Food Circle Plug-in Emperor - Chapter 793
Chapter 793 Advanced Desk Tasks
Crab paste is a very famous traditional dish in Maxima.
Because the ingredients are expensive and they are relatively homely, there are not many customers who usually order food.
The finished crab paste is yellow in color, rich in flavor, salty, sour and spicy, especially for rice.
For those who love to eat this kind of food, crab paste is the authentic “rice pressing hammer”, which can be called a magic tool for serving rice.
But for those who don’t like to eat, it is really unbearable and hard to swallow.
Maxima has its own secret recipe for this dish.
The ingredients are all fresh red crabs, and the cooking method is also the oldest and most authentic cooking method.
Although crab paste is a relatively common home-cooked dish, Maxima can make an unforgettable taste.
Zhao Meng learned the method of making crab paste from Yao Shi.
In front of the kitchen counter, Zhao Meng frantically ordered the little worker to prepare the dishes, somewhat looking forward to the next cooking!
Making crab paste can be regarded as one of his relatively good dishes. After so many years of cooking, he can be called very experienced in terms of understanding of cooking methods and mastery of operational details.
Today just let Fu Yu have a good experience, let him know how powerful he is!
Actually, in Zhao Meng’s heart, he just took Fu Yu as his apprentice.
Although the two of them didn’t have serious apprenticeships, Zhao Meng treated Fu Yu completely from the bottom of his heart.
However, Zhao Meng himself came from a master. He learned cooking from the master at the beginning, and what he received was the traditional teaching of being a teacher for a day and being a father for life.
So when Zhao Meng faced Fu Yu, it was inevitable that he would have some thoughts of comparison.
After all, I was also the one who brought Fu Yu to the door, so I can’t really be much worse than Fu Yu, right?
Perhaps Fu Yu has surpassed me in terms of knife skills and barbecue, but the cooking experience of these traditional dishes is my most valuable skill, and it is also what Fu Yu lacks.
In terms of cooking, Zhao Meng is very willing to teach and correct Fu Yu, especially in his field of expertise, and he looks forward to gaining Fu Yu’s admiration and recognition.
Those who may be masters have more or less such vanity.
Thinking of this, Zhao Meng specially instructed Xiaogong a few more words.
The most important ingredient for making crab paste is crab meat, so choosing crab is very important.
After the crab was selected, Zhao Meng took a look at it, and when he was satisfied, he called Fu Yu to come and watch.
Clean the crabs and remove the shell, navel, gills and pincers.
Use scissors to cut the remaining crabs into small pieces, add salt, and stir well.
The operation of changing the crab into small pieces, and then chopping and pressing it into a paste is the most critical step in cooking the whole crab paste.
While Zhao Meng was cooking, Fu Yu stood beside him, carefully watching Zhao Meng’s operation, and his concentrated expression made Zhao Meng not help but show a satisfied expression.
When teaching students, every teacher hopes that the other party can listen carefully and study hard. This is also recognition and respect for their hard work.
Fu Yu was a little surprised by the angle and movement of Zhao Meng’s knife when he cut and crushed the crab!
Very precise, very powerful knife technique!
Through such a knife, it is just convenient to lift the wrist, speed up the speed of the knife, and improve the efficiency of chopping, which is very good.
Fu Yu couldn’t help but praise: “This cutting method is amazing!”
Zhao Meng smiled calmly, unconsciously putting on an inscrutable look.
Fu Yu didn’t notice it at first, until the electronic notification sounded in his ear, and then he couldn’t help showing a look of surprise!
【Ding! Gain the favorability of NPC chef Zhao Meng +1]
Unexpectedly, Zhao Meng, who usually looks serious and serious, also likes to hear compliments!
Fu Yu looked at Zhao Meng pretending to be nonchalant, and was amused.
Still pretending?
Your heart has betrayed you!
Seeing that Zhao Meng was obviously very happy, but still pretended to be serious, Fu Yu couldn’t help but chuckled in his heart.
However, next, Zhao Meng’s cooking operation really surprised Fu Yu.
Today’s Zhao Meng has obviously changed a lot compared to usual, especially in terms of knife skills.
Obviously cutting is Zhao Meng’s weakness, but today he handled it very well. The most amazing thing is his control over the details during the operation, which is very precise and in place.
It seems that he walked out of the bottleneck area that trapped him!
Great progress has been made in knife skills!
Even if he already has advanced knife skills in his hands, Zhao Meng’s operations in cutting make him feel very amazing after watching it, and it is worth learning from.
I have to say that everyone will have their own experience and perception in cooking operations after a long time in the palm of the hand.
While cooking crab paste, Zhao Meng instructed Fu Yu while operating.
When Fu Yu encounters a place of interest, he will also be very enthusiastic to discuss it with Zhao Meng.
The cooking process of a crab paste is discussed by two people.
Both have gained a lot.
However, in order to please Zhao Meng, Fu Yu deliberately found opportunities to praise him from time to time, and occasionally pretended to be “shocked”.
This set of Zhao Meng is obviously very useful!
Originally, the favorability value was about to be given a full score, but within a short cooking time, it increased by 3 points!
Fu Yu looked at Zhao Meng, who couldn’t hide the happy smile between his brows and eyes, and secretly came up with an idea, if he really accidentally filled up Zhao Meng’s favorability value, would Zhao Meng completely wipe him out? Treat yourself like your own son?
Thinking of this, Fu Yu couldn’t help but chuckle.
Zhao Meng chopped the crab well, mixed the crab paste and crab paste together, added seasoning, mixed well, and put it in the refrigerator to keep fresh.
This crab paste is considered complete.
Wait until the marinade is complete, and then a customer orders, just put it on the plate and serve it.
Fu Yu had tasted crab paste before. When eating, he took out a small amount and dipped it with chopsticks. The taste on the tip of his tongue seemed to have the smell of sea water. Every time he ate, he could taste the fatness of crab roe and the freshness of crab meat. Sweet, soft and dense, it melts in the mouth, and the salty and fresh taste lasts long.
If the crab paste is dipped in a little rice wine or rice vinegar, the deliciousness will be even better.
When you eat it in your mouth, the first taste is umami, then the spicyness of pepper, and finally the stimulation of ginger.
Paired with porridge, bibimbap, and wine, it is really delicious.
You can’t make too much crab paste. After all, the number of customers ordering food is limited.
Following Zhao Meng to learn how to cook crab paste, Fu Yu memorized the whole process, and when he has a chance in the future, he can try cooking by himself.
After making the crab paste, Fu Yu and Zhao Meng chatted and discussed a few words, planning to go back and continue cooking.
At this moment, Gu Yunwu suddenly called out to Zhao Meng at the top of his voice: “Old Zhao! Jin Qian has placed an order, and it’s still the old rules. You come to fry and fry, and I will keep the stew and soup?”
Zhao Meng was about to continue cooking. After hearing the news, he frowned and asked, “Why did he come here? Isn’t it usually after the next year?”
Gu Yunwu said: “Who knows, the one who placed the order is a big table noodle order, or the same old style.”
Zhao Meng walked over, took the order and glanced at it, and asked, “Hey, is this a treat?”
Jin Qian is a regular customer in the store. This person is a gourmet and knows how to eat.
He has a big family and a big business, and usually travels around, but as long as he returns to Bei’an, he must go to Chollima for dinner.
“Fish soup with radish and octopus, small yellow croaker soup with shredded pickled vegetables and bamboo shoots.” Zhao Meng went through the menu and smiled: “He really knows how to eat it! All the dishes he ordered are your specialties.”
Gu Yunwu was also happy: “That’s not it, that’s fine, you tear up the list.”
Zhao Meng picked up his specialty dishes and tore off five dishes, then pasted them on the kitchen wall.
At this time, the tacit understanding between Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu can be seen.
Let’s not talk about how the two usually fight secretly, but they have worked together for many years, and they have already formed a tacit understanding of each other.
Zhao Meng received the new order, and the workers got the news immediately, and dealt with the work at hand, and waited for the order to prepare the dishes quickly.
Zhao Meng checked the order list at hand, rearranged the cooking order of the dishes, and then turned to order the little worker Zhang Luo to prepare the dishes.
This kind of sudden situation of cooperation between the two sides in cooking is too common, basically it will happen every three to five.
Similarly, this kind of mutual assistance in separate cooking can precisely reflect the strengths and weaknesses of chefs in cooking.
Each chef has his own cooking dishes and cooking methods that he is not good at.
When Zhao Meng stroked the order list and ordered the dishes to be prepared, the workers had already been waiting for a long time, so hurry up to pick up the work!
Fu Yu quickly finished cooking the few dishes that were urgently on the table, and now he slowed down and began to make a list without rushing.
Waiting for Zhao Meng to finish explaining, Fu Yu hurried over and asked, “Chef Zhao, what’s wrong?”
If Gu Yunwu can call Zhao Meng over, there is probably nothing good.
Zhao Meng frowned and said: “It’s nothing serious, but a regular customer came. This person has a tricky mouth. Every time I come here, Lao Gu and I cook together.”
It was only then that Fu Yu realized that it was a regular customer who had placed the order.
In terms of cooking, Zhao Meng is better at stir-frying, frying and stewing. Gu Yunwu has to be more skilled in soups such as stewing.
Fu Yu thought to himself, and couldn’t help looking at Gu Yunwu.
But Gu Yunwu obviously didn’t notice Fu Yu, after all, he also took a lot of orders on hand, and now Jin Qian, an old gourmet, was waiting for him, so he didn’t dare to delay at all.
Fu Yu himself was at ease, so he quickly stretched his head to look at the kitchen wall, and while looking at the order list posted on it, he asked, “Chef Zhao, what are you ordering? Let me help you take over a few dishes.” Bar?”
Zhao Meng said: “The dishes on the previous orders have already been served, and I am going to make two dishes of the dishes on the new order. You don’t know, Jin Qian is very good at eating, and he is very fond of the dishes in our restaurant. I am very familiar with it, and every time I come here, I order special dishes. It’s just that he usually comes with his family, and what he orders are small rice noodles, more than six dishes and one soup.”
“Today, I ordered a large table noodle order. Most likely it is to entertain friends. I read the dishes I ordered. Two new dishes have been added.”
The so-called scene dishes are high-priced, beautifully presented dishes, and once placed on the table, they look very stylish and upscale.
Fu Yu glanced at the newly posted order list.
Baked lobster with cheese, braised abalone, griddle seafood chowder, squirrel mandarin fish, fried swimming crab with green onion.
The prices of these dishes are not cheap, and they are indeed quite special dishes in the store.
Based on Zhao Meng’s cooking habits, he must first cook braised abalone and fried swimming crab with scallions. Although these two dishes require relatively high cooking techniques from the chef, they come out quickly and are more suitable as appetizers.
Zhao Meng has rich experience in cooking and arranging dishes, and he has a rough idea of what to order from a glance at the order list.
“You have almost handled everything over there?”
After hearing Zhao Meng’s question, Fu Yu hurriedly told the truth about his situation.
Zhao Meng nodded and ordered: “Okay then, you can make swimming crab and squirrel mandarin fish fried with green onions.”
One of these two dishes has relatively high requirements for fire control, and the other is a test of the chef’s knife skills and proficiency in frying operations.
Fu Yu is quite good in these aspects, Zhao Meng is very relieved to hand over the dishes to him.
However, don’t worry, rest assured, what should be warned should be carefully told: “When you cook these two dishes, you must pay attention to the heat and handle the details carefully. Jin Qian likes to eat and can eat, in this respect Be very picky, don’t make him dissatisfied because of small things.”
Zhao Meng’s words are very clear. It is difficult for the customer to answer this order correctly. In terms of cooking, you can’t cut corners at all, and you must be perfect.
Thinking of Jin Qian, Zhao Meng couldn’t help thinking of the various situations he encountered when receiving orders.
It is because Jin Qian is a glutton, so in order to satisfy him with delicious food, Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu really tried their best to bring out their housekeeping skills.
Thinking of what happened back then, Zhao Meng couldn’t help but sigh.
As a chef, you really can’t be too slack in terms of cooking skills, or else you will be really powerless in such a situation.
Zhao Meng looked at Fu Yu. Fortunately, this kid was here, and he could help him.
Like Gu Yunwu, the most profitable Yao Yihang is about to leave, and none of the other people under him can truly take orders independently.
In comparison, I am doing pretty well!
Fu Yu listened to Zhao Meng’s instructions, but he didn’t feel nervous or uneasy.
And not only was he not worried at all, but he had a dazed expression on his face.
Because just now, he received a new task:
【Ding! NPC Chef Zhao Meng’s task: to help complete a table of difficult table cooking, to obtain customer satisfaction. Task Completion Reward: Lucky Wheel Once]
When he first received the task, Fu Yu was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that the task this time was to cook a table of difficult dishes.
However, after hearing what Zhao Meng had said, he finally understood that the difficult noodle dish of Ganqing refers to satisfying this old gourmet customer.
The focus is not on the cooking difficulty of the dishes, but on the cooking level of the chef.
Fu Yu complied with Zhao Meng’s request, and went back to his kitchen counter with a solemn expression.
Since he received the task, he began to think about how to make dishes that satisfy customers.
