Chapter 239 A Lifetime of Determination
Li Zi showed her half-eaten chicken fillet in front of the camera in time, and Da Zhuang immediately adjusted the macro and focused the picture on the half-bitten chicken fillet.
The skin of the chicken fillet was covered with brown batter, and the chicken wrapped in the batter was oily and smooth. Pear squeezed it with chopsticks, and the juice quickly overflowed along the texture of the chicken.
"I've eaten the boss's fried skewers many times in Yangcheng. The most exaggerated time was that I stocked up 20 kilograms by myself, but I didn't buy more because of the purchase limit.
How should I put it? I always feel that the food she fries is at the top of the quality scale and no one can surpass the taste.
But I didn’t expect that she would surpass herself. I think the taste now is better than when she was in Yangcheng. I don’t know how she did it.
There are no random flavors to choose from for the seasoning, only the spiciness level. However, the three of us, one who usually likes honey mustard, one who likes salt and pepper ketchup, and one who likes super spicy food, all agreed that this seasoning is the best match for fried chicken steak and the most delicious. It's amazing.
As for the crispy skin and tender inside, these are all basic operations.
But I asked the boss, and she said that her fried skewers plan is to change every week, serving different varieties to customers every week. If the fried chicken fillet is sold out tomorrow, it will be time to change the variety.
But according to my experience, there is no best, only better.
In short, if you come to eat rice with toppings, remember to try this one, you won’t lose out.” Guo Gaoang enthusiastically promoted it to the camera.
Li Zi, on the other side, also put down her chicken cutlet and laughed. "Yeah, 'One bite, a lifetime'—that's exactly how this kind of food is described! Actually, it's a little cold now. We took a while to take photos and videos, and while it was still hot, I completely forgot what we had for lunch and hadn't even thought about the restaurant video!"
Li Zi chatted for a few minutes and then started eating again. Guo Gaoang briefly introduced the braised hot pot side dishes and chatted for a while about the food.
After Guo Gaoang finished speaking and Li Zi finished her pork knuckle rice, Da Zhuang closed the equipment, and the eight people at Zhao Xiaojing's table had already started cleaning.
"Let me heat it up for you." The others were busy with their own things, leaving Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen still in the hall. After they finished filming the video, Guo Gaoang only ate two bites of the three fresh vegetables during the whole process, while Dazhuang didn't even bother to eat. Zhao Xiaojing walked over with a tray.
"Okay, thank you!" Guo Gaoang actively picked up the plate and put it on the tray. Da Zhuang on the side subconsciously looked up, and when he saw Zhao Xiaojing, he quickly lowered his eyes and hurriedly put his plate and fried chicken fillet on it.
Zhao Xiaojing simply heated it up for half a minute and brought it out. After all, it was a microwave oven, so even if she put it in for a few seconds, it would quickly return to its steaming hot state just out of the pot.
"Don't mention it. I wasn't hungry originally, but after eating the pear for such a long time, I really am hungry!" Guo Gaoang excitedly took the tray, and he and Dazhuang took the plates out themselves. Their eyes were shining as they looked at his mixed three fresh vegetables.
"I didn't pay attention to the shooting time and delayed your get off work. I'm so sorry." Da Zhuang scratched his head and looked up at Zhao Xiaojing apologetically.
"It's okay. We recently adjusted our business hours. It's early to close now, and cleaning will take some time. You guys can enjoy your meal. There's no rush."
Zhao Xiaojing waved her hand.
"Eh? Da Zhuang, didn't you want to take a picture of classmate Zhao? You were just focusing on taking pictures of us just now. What about the main plot?" Li Zi, who was drinking water, was startled.
Guo Gaoang paused, looking a little annoyed. "It's my fault for always talking about it. I forget everything once I get into the mood!"
"I was just about to ask classmate Zhao for his opinion. I want to follow him all day long." Da Zhuang calmly put down the spoon.
"All day?" Guo Gaoang was stunned.
"Take a picture of me?" Zhao Xiaojing stopped as she was about to turn around.
"What are you planning on doing with our mirror?" Su Yuchen, who was tidying up, heard this and came over, holding Zhao Xiaojing's arm.
"Well, I want to use Zhao as the main character in the video, editing it according to her daily routine. If you'd like, I'd add some backstory and make it a more humanistic store exploration video. The result will be very good." Dazhuang watched Su Yuchen explain, and only after he finished speaking did his gaze slowly shift towards Zhao Xiaojing. "Zhao, can I come back tomorrow?"
Zhao Xiaojing was standing there in a daze.
"Mirror?" Su Yuchen called softly.
Zhao Xiaojing is checking the system.
Just as Da Zhuang opened his mouth, the system assigned a task.
[Ding~ Main Quest: Expand the restaurant and personal visibility, bringing the popularity of "Zhao Ji Rice Bowl" and Chef Zhao to 0.3% in Jiangcheng]
It was another main task, and Zhao Xiaojing took it silently, wondering in her mind what 0.3% meant.
Guo Gaoang and his team’s store exploration videos can certainly increase brand awareness, but if 0.3% refers to the number of people, she still doubts whether a store exploration video can do that.
"Don't worry, Zhao. You have every right to refuse if you don't want to. I won't show your face in the video I've already taken. We already have two options. Don't worry, it doesn't matter..."
Su Yuchen beside her shook her arm in confusion. Dazhuang in front of her kept explaining carefully. Zhao Xiaojing came back to her senses and shook her head hurriedly, "It's okay, let's shoot. What exactly do you want to shoot?"
Da Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, his tense expression softening. "It's just about reviewing the shop's work rhythm, the relationship between the front of house and the kitchen, starting with serving customers, the kitchen's prep work and the constant busy atmosphere. Then, with you as the main focus, your work will expand to the coordination of everyone in the shop, the tacit understanding between colleagues, and so on."
If you want, you can also tell us more about your story, how you started cooking, and some of the things you experienced behind the scenes..."
"It's something like this. Take a look." Guo Gaoang handed the phone to Zhao Xiaojing. Zhao Xiaojing took it and looked at it. "How does the wheel cake shop above the laundry survive?"
"Yes, this is a store exploration video made by Dazhuang. This kind of video tells the story of the owner. You can take a look before deciding."
"Okay, let me take a look. Comb, please heat up the rice for them. It will only take half a minute." The few of them were busy talking, and the steam from the rice had stopped evaporating. Zhao Xiaojing took a look and sat down aside.
The two were about to refuse, thinking that they would just eat it, but Su Yuchen had already taken the tray and put the food on it for them.
When Su Yuchen brought it over again, Zhao Xiaojing only read the beginning. Su Yuchen sat aside and leaned over to read with her.
Da Zhuang's video is very rhythmic and artistic, and the two were quickly brought into the atmosphere of the story.
