Chapter 162 Newcomer Training (Part 2)

However, this time when writing the recipe, Jiangyou deeply learned from the experience of the previous incident where the recipe of the illiterate spider spirit customer group was unsold. When she made the list, she did not use those complicated nouns that Nasha probably could not understand. Instead, she simply wrote [Jar No. 1 10 grams, Jar No. 2 5 grams...] and then put each ingredient that would be used in a glass jar with a corresponding number label.

Each glass jar is quite large, and once filled with specific marinade ingredients like star anise and bay leaves, it can be used for several months. Takuyu only needs to restock when the stock is running low, and Nasha mixes the marinade daily by simply grabbing the corresponding weight of ingredients according to the numbers on the jar. This way, even if someone accidentally saw and copied the recipe, they wouldn't be able to tell the specific ingredients based on the numbers on the paper.

Jiangyou placed these glass jars in order on the kitchen cabinet and locked them with a key.

On the day the brewery opened, Andre installed a photo crystal in the corner of the kitchen ceiling. Of course, such photo crystals were also installed in the corner of the front hall ceiling and in the garden, which could just illuminate the counter, dining area, store door and courtyard door.

No matter it is a guest with ill intentions, a thief, or an employee who makes a mistake intentionally or unintentionally, nothing can escape the detailed record of the photographic crystal.

Andre even found a pair of developing mirrors for Jiangyou. These small mirrors look like ordinary carved mirrors on the surface, but they can be remotely bound to multiple photo crystals. Using specific magic, one can remotely view the images recorded by the photo crystals. It can be said to be a monitoring artifact for home and travel.

Takumi kept one mirror for herself and gave the other to Andrei for safekeeping. That way, if there was an emergency in the store and she was unfortunately caught up in it and unable to move, she could still count on Andrei to detect clues through the mirror and save the situation.

Jiang You made these preparations, not to guard against Naxia. As the saying goes, trust your employees, and don't employ them if you doubt them. Given the restrictions of the magic contract, she still had some basic trust in her employees.

Besides the internal scoundrel, running a business presents many more potential problems—competitors, strange customers, thieves and robbers seeking wealth... These dangers must be guarded against. Since she has an investor who is a law enforcement officer in the Kingdom's Knights, she naturally has to make good use of this advantage.

Naxia had no objection to the store's photo crystals—she'd seen similar, if not more robust, security measures in her father's shop and was used to them. She was a straight-laced person anyway, and if anything really happened, the photo crystals would only prove her innocence.

Naxia prepared the brine according to the list. The scale, measuring cup...precise tools and values ​​recreated the perfect taste. Jiangyou scooped up a spoonful, drew out the soul fire and tasted it, and immediately smiled: "Hey, this is the taste."

Nasha also scooped a spoonful, tasted it carefully, and then memorized this special taste in her heart.

Jiangyou set up a portable stove in the small kitchen in the courtyard. Two burners simmered the brine, while the scallion and ginger sauce simmered. The blanched offal, chicken and duck wings, and feet were added to the pot in order of time, braised to a beautiful reddish-brown color. Then, they were removed from the pot and placed in a clean basin, covered with the brine to soak in the flavor, waiting for the perfect moment to be cooked.

The pig's head soaked in bloody water is cut into eight pieces and boiled in scallion and ginger water for ten minutes. Then, the impurities and foam that come out of the cooking are washed off and transferred to the brine pot and simmered over low heat.

"Today's signature dish is ready!" Jiang You said with a smile, "All we need now is time. After boiling for two hours and then soaking for another two hours, we can remove it, let it cool, and slice it."

Calculating the time, it’s just in time for the busiest lunch time!

Next, it’s time to teach how to make rice noodle rolls.

The key to making rice rolls is to prepare the rice slurry. With the experience of preparing the braising liquid, Naxia completed it very smoothly this time. Jiangyou only gave some guidance when adding water - the amount of water will determine the taste of the rice rolls. Too little water will make it hard, and too much water will make it watery. The correct consistency must be noted.

Mixing rice milk, preparing stuffing, steaming, pouring soy sauce... After being busy for so long, Naxia finally tasted the delicious food from the brewing workshop, and she even made it herself!

She happily ate a portion of rice noodle rolls made by Jiangyou, and then ate another portion that she made herself. There was not much difference between the two. This fact immediately gave her a lot of confidence!

Jiang Youze is very calm: with the same recipe of rice milk, stuffing and soy sauce, and strictly controlled steaming time, it is naturally impossible to produce two different flavors... This is the victory of precise recipe. After strictly controlling the quality of raw materials, the error of taste has been reduced to a minimum. Although the "soul" of it still needs to be controlled by the chef himself, it will never disappoint the guests.

——For a novice cook, if he strictly follows the recipe, nothing will go wrong. The most feared thing is an untimely "flash of inspiration".

Naxia was happily enjoying her staff breakfast when she saw Jiangyou cut a platter of braised food and placed it in front of her. It had everything: fresh duck liver cut into thick slices; small chicken and duck hearts cut in half, revealing the firm, chewy, and firm brown and pink heart muscle; crispy duck and chicken intestines cut into small, cute curls; pig intestines cut into short rings, a beautiful sugar brown on the outside, with a circle of snow-white on the inside, a world away from the unappetizing appearance before cooking...

The chicken and duck feet look a bit scary, but the base of the wings is round and smooth like a small chicken leg, which looks particularly tempting.

"This is braised food, try it. As a chef, you can't be so ignorant of the taste of your own dishes~" Jiang You pushed the plate in front of her, and Naxia's eyes sparkled: "Can I eat it all?"

"Yes, the whole plate is yours." Jiang You said affirmatively.

This was probably the happiest moment in Nasha's life. She began to eat with big mouthfuls, first with a fork, and later with her hands. Her mouth was full of oil and her lips were covered with brown sauce.

"It's delicious! Is this the dish I just made? I can actually make such a delicious dish!" Naxia's eyes were filled with tears: the first bite made her feel moved by the delicious food, and the second bite gave her a full sense of accomplishment!

From the moment she returned home last night until this morning, Naxia was still worried about whether she had made the right decision. It wasn't that she thought being a chef here was bad or that the conditions weren't good enough; no, she was more worried about whether her half-baked cooking skills could actually create dishes worthy of the brewery's reputation.

But now, she felt that she could do it! No, to be more precise, as long as the store manager was there, she would definitely be able to do it!
