"Invite me?" Yu Hui was taken aback and asked, "Are you inviting me to your store for a tasting or inviting me to work there?"
He was speechless for a moment.
I thought to myself, "Why does this guy speak so formally? It's hard to understand him..."
Ye Fan smiled slightly, still maintaining his polite demeanor.
"Both are fine. The purpose of my visit is to invite you to work at our store."
"If you would like to try our food and make suggestions, I would be happy to."
The braised dishes made by Yu Hui tasted absolutely delicious.
Ye Fan also tried it.
If you only promote Yu Hui's braised food, you're guaranteed to make a profit, and you might even make a small fortune!
Yu Hui understood Ye Fan's little scheme perfectly well.
Isn't he just trying to get me to make money for him?
Dream on!
He forced a smile and politely declined Ye Fan's request.
Ye Fan is also a respectable person.
After being rejected once, he stopped saying anything more.
He glanced down at the stall and said with a smile:
"Since I'm here, I'll buy some things to take back, and I can also enjoy some good food."
"Three duck necks, five duck wings, ten chicken feet, a box of duck intestines... and cook me two more dishes!"
"What would you like to eat?" Yu Hui asked.
"One serving of Mapo Tofu, and another one..."
After a moment's hesitation, Ye Fan spoke again.
"May I ask if you can make a dish of Nine-Turned Intestines? I see you have large intestine heads here, and they are whitish in color, not bluish or reddish, which is perfect for making Nine-Turned Intestines."
As the owner of a Michelin-starred restaurant, Ye Fan is very interested in food.
I often watch documentaries like "A Bite of China".
She usually loves to stay in the kitchen, cooking up delicious meals.
Over time, I learned a lot of cooking skills.
"Nine-Turned Intestines?" Yu Hui's eyes widened.
He's been cooking for so long, and this is the first time he's ever seen a customer order this dish.
Nine-Turned Intestines is a famous dish in Shandong cuisine.
People from other places may not know this, but this dish is very famous in Shandong.
The last time this dish was brought into the public eye was by a chubby boy on a food-themed reality show.
His statement, "It retains the original flavor of the large intestine," coupled with the judges' gritted teeth expressions, went viral online.
"Can I stir-fry it?" Ye Fan pressed.
"Well..." Yu Hui hesitated.
This dish of nine-turn intestines wasn't too difficult for him.
It just takes patience and time.
Even if a top-notch Shandong cuisine master were to make it, it would take at least 90 minutes; it's a dish that requires considerable skill and effort.
We must take it one step at a time and proceed slowly.
The steps are complicated and require a lot of basic skills.
Every chef wants to make this dish well, and Yu Hui is no exception.
But the most crucial thing now is...
The preparation process for this dish is far too complicated.
He was worried that there would be other guests later.
There's only one pot available right now, which isn't enough to supply that many portions.
As the boss, Ye Fan was very good at reading people's expressions and moods.
He seemed to sense Yu Hui's concerns, and so he spoke up:
"Okay, I'll buy all the remaining ingredients, and you can focus on making this Nine-Turned Intestines for me."
"If customers come in, just say that the stir-fried dishes are sold out, and only braised dishes are left, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Hui paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
He didn't want to miss out on such a challenging dish.
After Ye Fan paid, he watched Yu Hui start cooking.
He had only ever eaten braised food, and had never tasted Yu Hui's cooking.
In a short time.
I'm actually kind of looking forward to it!
Yu Hui picked up two large intestines, put them into the iron basin, and poured in some baking soda.
Start by dry rubbing with your hands.
This step can effectively remove the fishy smell from the large intestine.
Seeing this, Ye Fan asked with some curiosity:
"I've seen many chefs make braised pork intestines, and the first step is to clean the intestines with flour or starch. Chef Yu, why are you using baking soda?"
Just as Yu Hui was about to answer, he heard Chef He say from the side:
"Starch, flour, and baking soda all have adsorption properties and can effectively absorb the dirt in the intestines. As for which one to use, it's purely a matter of personal preference."
“Yes.” Yu Hui nodded. “Anything is fine, as long as it’s convenient.”
After dry-rubbing the intestines, Yu Hui added vinegar again and started kneading them.
"Master Yu, what is the purpose of your next step..." Chef He narrowed his eyes.
In his opinion, Yu Hui had already thoroughly cleaned the intestines by scrubbing them dry.
There's absolutely no need to add more vinegar.
As Yu Hui rubbed the large intestine, he replied with a smile:
"I used baking soda just now. Now I'll add a little vinegar to neutralize the acid and make the intestines cleaner."
Upon hearing this, Chef He's pupils widened suddenly.
I never knew it could be done like that!
Are you conducting a chemistry experiment here?
He was used to dry-rubbing the ingredients in flour when making braised pork intestines.
Baking soda is generally not used.
Over time, he overlooked this little trick.
Chef He nodded, thinking to himself:
"I never expected this stall owner to be here."
"To think they even have a dish called 'Nine-Turned Intestines'! To have such a profound understanding of it is quite impressive!"
After cleaning with vinegar, Yu Hui turned the large intestine over to the other side.
He joked with Ye Fan and Chef He:
"Gentlemen, would you like to eat large intestines with the original flavor intact?"
