Originally, Jiang Ning was a somewhat famous beautiful owner of a private restaurant. Because she stayed up late reading a novel with the same name as the female supporting character, she unexpecte...
By the time the entire cafeteria was done, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the comrades who had been busy in the kitchen had almost finished cleaning up and could finally take a break.
Soon, everyone gathered around the table in the cafeteria and took out their lunch boxes to eat.
Jiang Ning also took out the lunch box that Chen Yan had prepared for her in advance and started eating.
She tasted the pork and cabbage fried by Master Wang. Not only was the cabbage tender and juicy, it also tasted quite fragrant.
I tried other dishes and found that he was indeed a chef who used to work at Zhouyi Tavern.
Even the big pot dishes still taste good.
After quickly finishing the food in the lunch boxes, everyone took a short break for another hour.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, we started preparing dinner.
The busiest people in the afternoon were Wang Yulin and Cai Mingqi. They needed to finish washing all the vegetables within half an hour.
Next, Liu Jie and Zhou Kai washed and cut the vegetables, and then prepared all the necessary side dishes.
Jiang Ning looked at the dinner menu, which was braised pork with potatoes, stir-fried pork intestines, stir-fried green bean sprouts, and a large cabbage. The soup was winter melon soup.
Jiang Ning went to look at the pig intestines they had washed in the morning, but she smelled a special smell before she got close.
When we got closer, we saw that although Wang Yulin and Cai Mingqi had turned the intestines over and washed them, they did not remove the fat inside. They also rubbed and washed them many times, but the fat was not completely cleaned out. No wonder it smelled so strong.
She found that this is how the pig intestines are processed here. The smell cannot be removed no matter what is done. In fact, it is because the fat on the intestinal wall has not been removed.
But some people just like it and want to enjoy this flavor.
Just like when they came to the city to sell braised dishes before, those who liked the taste would go to Jiang Qiufang to buy pig intestines to satisfy their cravings, and those who didn’t like the taste would buy pig intestines from their stall.
However, there are still only a few people who like this taste. Most people still prefer to eat it without taste. However, they don’t know how to process the large intestine, so no matter how they cook it, there will still be a little taste on it.
Jiang Ning looked at the time. It was almost three o'clock, so there was still time to wash the intestines again.
However, the people washing vegetables in the sink were still busy. They probably didn't have time to wash them again. They were all busy doing their own things.
And it takes longer to cook a big pot of food, so the kitchen usually starts cooking at 3:30 in the afternoon.
Now they are busy washing and cutting the vegetables so that they can start cooking directly.
Otherwise, there would be no way to cook all the dishes by the time I get off work at five o'clock.
She had no choice but to deal with the pig intestines herself.
Fortunately, she was already experienced in handling pig intestines, so she was not worried that she would not be able to finish processing all the pig intestines within half an hour.
Jiang Ning found a pair of gloves for washing pig intestines in the sink. After putting on the gloves, she stood alone next to the basin of pig intestines and picked out the fat and threw it away.
His movements were smooth and fluid, and it was obvious that he was an expert in handling pig intestines.
Cai Mingqi, who was washing vegetables, looked up and saw the new chef standing there alone, not knowing what he was busy with.
She nudged Wang Yuling, who was washing vegetables, with her elbow and asked, "What is this new chef doing?"
Wang Yuling looked towards Jiang Ning and said, "Isn't that the pig intestine we washed this morning? Why is she standing there?"
"Is it to check whether we washed it cleanly?" Wang Yulin was a little angry.
My hands are almost worn out from washing vegetables every day, and now the new chef is doubting whether their dishes are clean? Isn't this too much of a bully?
Wang Yuling stood up and walked towards Jiang Ning.
Before she got closer, she saw Jiang Ning wearing gloves and rummaging around in there, taking out some things from time to time.
"Master Jiang, what are you doing?" Wang Yulin was a little unsure of Jiang Ning's methods.
What on earth is she picking?
"Mingqi and I processed these intestines. It took us more than two hours to finish."
What this means is that these intestines have been washed very clean, so why are you still turning them over here?
Jiang Ning looked up at her and said, "It's okay, I'm just taking a look. Go wash the vegetables."
Wang Yuling looked at her angrily, "Chef Jiang, you're the one cooking tonight, so don't dirty the intestines. You'll be blaming us for not cleaning them properly."
Before she could say anything, Wang Yuling turned and left.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything and continued to concentrate on looking for the leftover fat in the intestines.
Soon, she had picked all the fat, and Jiang Ning called Liu Jie and Zhou Kai to help her carry the fat intestines to another vegetable washing sink.
Although they didn't understand what Jiang Ning was going to do, they still helped her carry it over obediently.
Jiang Ning washed it several times with clean water, then put salt and flour in it and started rubbing it. Finally, he added white vinegar and flour and kneaded it several times.
The intestines were almost white after being washed by her. She picked up the intestines and smelled them. There was no strange smell before she took them out of the water.
Wang Yulin, who had been paying attention to her movements, was almost furious when she saw this scene.
Isn't this a slap in their face?
My main job in the cafeteria is to wash vegetables. Now the new chef thinks that I didn’t wash them clean enough, so he washed them again himself. How would I look if this got out?
She couldn't swallow this humiliation, so Wang Yulin stood up and planned to cause trouble for Jiang Ning.
But Cai Mingqi stopped her, "Yuling, don't be impulsive. We're still temporary workers. Rushing over like this won't do you any good. Didn't you see Uncle Wang was watching her too? If she doesn't do well, we don't have to trouble her. Someone else will naturally come after her."
Wang Yulin looked at Uncle Wang not far away and found that he was also looking at Jiang Ning. She calmed down after listening to Cai Mingqi's analysis.
There is no need to joke about your job. After all, you got this job with great difficulty, so you can't be too impulsive.
However, she wanted to see what difference would appear after Chef Jiang washed it like this?
Anyway, this is how the whole kitchen washes the intestines. Even the head chef, Uncle Wang, does it this way. They have been washing for so long, and no one has ever said that they don't wash the intestines cleanly.
She wanted to see what the new chef could come up with.
After Jiang Ning washed the pig intestines, she opened the lid of the pot full of water that Zhou Kai had boiled for her, threw the pig intestines in, added large pieces of ginger and green onions, and a large spoonful of cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. When the pig intestines were easily pierced with chopsticks, she quickly took them out and soaked them in cold water with salt for a while.
