Chapter 35 The mission is about to fail just as it begins?

In the kitchen, Zhao Xiaojing has been paying attention to the satisfaction of the system backend since she started working as a canteen worker.

She originally thought that the satisfaction level would increase slowly, but as soon as voices started to appear in the dining room in front, the backstage value jumped directly to 90%. After maintaining for a while, it slowly increased again. Now it has risen to 97%, which far exceeded her expectations.

Zhao Xiaojing's face was filled with joy, and she felt elated.

It seems that achieving a satisfaction rate of over 85% every day is a piece of cake and can be achieved easily.

Sun Dehai, who was standing aside, was struggling to stir-fry shredded potatoes. It could only be said that the workers were very knowledgeable. He seldom made this kind of stir-fried dish in a small pot, but it turned out to be very popular the first time he made it. Almost everyone ordered it. Soon the food worker in front came to remind him to add more food.

"Master Sun, can I help you blanch these shredded potatoes? You can use them directly later."

The extremely high satisfaction level made Zhao Xiaojing in a very good mood. She quickly cut another basket of potatoes for the vegetable patch and took the initiative to come to Sun Dehai to help.

"That's fine. Boil some water first, then wash the potatoes twice more, making sure the water is clean and the starch is removed!"

Zhao Xiaojing immediately set up a pot to boil water, and started to wash the shredded potatoes in a stainless steel basin. After changing the water mixed with white starch twice, the water became clear.

Seeing that the water had not yet boiled, he remembered what Sun Dehai had done just now and helped him cut the dried chilies into sections and soak them in water.

Seeing that Zhao Xiaojing was so smart, hardworking and had good skills, Sun Dehai also began to like her.

"The purpose of washing with water is to prevent the starch on the surface of the potatoes from sticking to them. This way, the fried potatoes will have a fresher taste, won't be sticky, and won't stick to the pan." Sun Dehai took the initiative to explain the tricks to Zhao Xiaojing while frying.

"When the water boils, add some white vinegar. This will make the shredded potatoes crispier and prevent them from turning black. Blanching for about 20 seconds is enough, not too long. When the potatoes are translucent, remove them immediately."

Zhao Xiaojing suddenly understood, nodded seriously and took note of it, and decided to find a place to practice in the evening.

After Sun Dehai took another serving of shredded potatoes out of the pot, Zhao Xiaojing took the time to look at the satisfaction level in the backstage with great anticipation.

This made him feel so terrible that he could hardly hold the knife.

Satisfaction rate dropped to 50%!

What's going on? Is the food bad? Or is it just not to the workers' taste? That doesn't make sense. It was clearly 97% just ten minutes ago!

It's only my first day at work, and the task is already over? Doesn't that mean the remaining two months of work will also be wasted?

Zhao Xiaojing was very anxious and almost wanted to rush to the dining room to ask the workers what went wrong.

Just as I was feeling restless, the waiter in front of me started shouting at me from the kitchen door.

"Master Zhao, we're out of crab sticks. Make another pot!"

Sun Dehai and Zhao Xiaojing both looked at the lunch worker in surprise.

"Crab sticks! The crab sticks are gone, add another pot!" The waiter thought they didn't hear clearly and shouted again.

What's going on? With such low satisfaction, why hasn't it been sold yet? Zhao Xiaojing was increasingly baffled.

And didn’t Sun Dehai start reminding people to replenish the vegetables when the shredded potatoes were almost gone? How come they were gone right away?

Those who doubt it took another look at the backend satisfaction ratings: 45%, 42%, 40%... 30%! Satisfaction ratings have hit new lows!

The more Zhao Xiaojing watched, the more desperate she became. She was extremely depressed because she had failed to complete the task and her self-confidence had been hit.

But the dishes still need to be cooked. After all, I have already started working, and I have to treat this job well even if the task fails.

She opened the freezer with her head held high and took out all the crab sticks.

There aren't many left anyway, so let's clear out the goods. After all, these are semi-finished products and won't taste very good. Clearing them out will also make it easier for the workers to make fresh ones.

Zhao Xiaojing paused, wondering if the low satisfaction rate was due to the inferior taste of the semi-finished product. But the crab sticks were already empty, so it couldn't be as low as 30%. Or perhaps the workers weren't used to the cold dishes? Was it too bland?

After the dishes are replenished, you should find a chance to go to the front desk to ask. Only when you know the reason can you make improvements later.

Zhao Xiaojing was reviewing the situation with deep thought, but her hands never stopped moving.

"It's your first day at work. The workload is more intense than you expected, right?" Sun Dehai saw that Zhao Xiaojing's face looked strange and thought she was tired.

"It's okay. I'm busy for a while, but it's not as tiring as I thought." Zhao Xiaojing replied weakly.

Sun Dehai raised his eyebrows and was surprised by this answer.

I didn’t expect that this little girl is so hardworking and her works are so popular.

Generally speaking, the amount of dishes they prepare is fixed, and all dishes are enough to be cooked once. If they make up for the dishes, it is because they have cooked a big meat dish on the same day, and there will not be enough if everyone wants it.

Today's shredded potatoes were a surprise, but he also didn't understand how the crab sticks left over from making mixed vegetables could be used to make up the dish.

Sun Dehai continued to fry the remaining two pots of shredded potatoes and had them brought to the front. He then curiously came over to watch Zhao Xiaojing make fried crab sticks.

He nodded secretly at the sight of this. Apart from anything else, the batter was really well-made, a layer neither too thin nor too thick wrapped around the crab sticks, and when fried, it was golden and translucent.

Moreover, the batter ratio is also very appropriate. It is not too thin to be coated with batter, nor too thick to form a large lump.

"Master Sun, come and taste the saltiness." Zhao Xiaojing had slowly calmed down. Seeing Sun Dehai standing by and watching, she filled a small bowl with seasoning after frying the first batch and handed it to him.

Sun Dehai was very curious about how this dish could be sold out so quickly even though it was served for the first time, so he took the bowl and started eating.

The crab sticks are coated with batter that is fragrant and crispy, just as expected, and the inside has a sweet and slightly seafood flavor. The oil temperature is right and the timing is just right, making it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. All of this is the result of hard work.

The most addictive thing is the thin layer of sauce sprinkled on the crust. The spice is very unique and the flavor is great, but it seems that it will not taste so good if dipped into other things. But it is paired with the crab sticks and every bite is full of flavor.

It goes with crab sticks like French fries with ketchup. When eaten alone, they seem to be just burnt or sour, but when put together, they are an indescribable perfect match, which makes people very grateful to the person who discovered this way of eating.

Sun Dehai ate several of them in a row without realizing it, and was truly amazed at the taste.

"Xiao Zhao, what kind of seasoning did you put on this? I've never tasted anything like it."

Zhao Xiaojing listed the names of seven or eight seasonings in the kitchen in a row, and Sun Dehai was stunned.

He also uses these seasonings frequently, but the usage has been fixed since the day he started learning cooking. Different seasonings are used for different dishes.

He never imagined that these spices could be used so flexibly and taste like this after mixing them together. He also never thought that a young girl could use these spices with such depth and sophistication.
