Chapter 34
The steaming beer duck exudes a strong aroma of beer and duck meat. Xiang Yunting is very satisfied with the taste. He said confidently: "Boss, take a look at this beer duck I made."
Chen Kangle put down the work in his hands, picked up a piece of duck meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly.
"Boss, how does it taste?" Xiang Yunting looked at Chen Kangle. He was originally full of confidence, but suddenly he became a little worried, worried that Chen Kangle would not be satisfied with the beer duck he made.
The duck meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and juicy, with a strong wine flavor.
Chen Kangle ate two pieces in a row. Overall, she was satisfied. It can be seen that Xiang Yunting has a certain level of cooking skills. The beer duck he made is very fragrant and tasty. The disadvantage is that the taste of beer is too strong, which somewhat covers the freshness of the duck, and the taste is slightly worse.
Compared to the candidates she had interviewed before, Xiang Yunting was excellent in all aspects, with acceptable knife skills and cooking skills.
"Boss, please tell me how it tastes and whether it suits your taste." Seeing that Chen Kangle did not reply, Xiang Yunting asked a little nervously.
Chen Kangle nodded, "The beer duck tastes pretty good."
Xiang Yunting was very happy to get Chen Kangle's approval. He said cheerfully, "Boss, did I succeed in my application?"
Chen Kangle was indeed very satisfied with Xiang Yunting. With Xiang Yunting's cooking skills, he would have no problem working as a kitchen helper in a big restaurant.
What Chen Kangle is worried about at the moment is that Xiang Yunting is a rich and famous food blogger. She is worried that Xiang Yunting is just looking for a temporary novelty and he may not be able to do such hard work as a kitchen helper for long.
Chen Kangle wants to recruit long-term workers. If Xiang Yunting comes to work for only a few days and then leaves, it will be very troublesome to recruit new people.
Xiang Yunting saw Chen Kangle's worry, and he said seriously: "Boss, I know you are worried that I won't be able to do this for long."
"Boss, don't worry about this. I really want to come here to learn cooking from you. If I resign, I will definitely tell you in advance and wait until you find someone else before leaving."
"I assure you, I am not a dishonest person. You see, I am a celebrity on the Internet and I value my reputation very much. If I lied to you, you can denounce me on the Internet."
Xiang Yunting was very sincere when he spoke, and Chen Kangle could see his sincerity.
"Okay, then can you come to work tomorrow?" Chen Kangle asked.
The Heyan Restaurant is really short of staff now, and Chen Kangle hopes Xiang Yunting can come to work as soon as possible.
Xiang Yunting was very straightforward, "OK, no problem, I can come to work tomorrow."
Next, Chen Kangle talked to Xiang Yunting about working hours and salary. These were not important to Xiang Yunting. As long as he could learn from Chen Kangle, he would be satisfied.
Xiang Yunting was very happy after being successfully hired, and he kept humming on the way home. He suddenly thought of a problem. Now he is an employee of Kangle Box Restaurant, but he lives a little far from the restaurant, and it takes more than 20 minutes to drive there. The job of a kitchen helper is very hard, and he may not have the energy to drive more than 20 minutes to and from work every day.
In order to make it easier to get to and from work, Xiang Yunting decided to rent a house near the Kangle Box Hotel. He immediately opened the rental website and found that there was only one community closest to the Kangle Box Hotel. There were not many houses for rent in this community, and the rent in the suburbs was not cheap. The rent for a one-bedroom and one-living room house was 1,500 yuan per month, and the rent for a two-bedroom and one-living room house was 2,000 yuan per month.
Xiang Yunting was not short of money, so he found a house with relatively exquisite decoration and complete home appliances, with two bedrooms and a living room, for 2,400 yuan a month, and he could move in right away.
That afternoon, Xiang Yunting contacted the landlord and went to the community to see the house. The house was clean and tidy. Although it was not large and the decoration was not luxurious, Xiang Yunting was satisfied overall and decided to rent it on the spot.
Upon learning that Xiang Yunting had successfully applied for the job and had already rented a house near the Heyan Restaurant, Li Ci was speechless.
He didn't expect Xiang Yunting to be so proactive and even planned to move to live near the Heya Restaurant.
"You're moving too fast. Are you sure you want to move to the suburbs? What if you don't want to work in the lunch box restaurant after a few days? You'll have to move back then." Li Ci always thought that Xiang Yunting could only work in the lunch box restaurant for a week at most.
Xiang Yunting is now full of fighting spirit. He is very much looking forward to this new journey and has never thought about the problem of not being able to continue.
"That's impossible. Our boss's cooking skills are so good. I will learn from her seriously. I will leave only after I have learned enough."
Li Ci wanted to roll his eyes. He felt that Xiang Yunting was temporarily bewildered. He had been praising the Heshi restaurant owner for his cooking skills since yesterday.
Li Ci suddenly became curious about how good the cooking skills of a small box meal restaurant owner could be. He decided to go to the box meal restaurant when he had time to see how delicious the food was that a food blogger with an annual income of tens of millions would be willing to work there as a kitchen helper.
The next day, Xiang Yunting got up early.
On his first day working at the Heyan Restaurant, he was a little nervous and a little excited.
Xiang Yunting deliberately wore a relatively loose casual outfit. The job of helping in the kitchen requires walking around all the time, so it is more convenient to wear loose clothes, and match it with a pair of comfortable sneakers.
When everything was ready, Xiang Yunting drove to the Heyan Restaurant to work.
As soon as I arrived at the Heya Restaurant, I met Lin Huiling who was walking over.
"Aunt Lin, good morning!" Xiang Yunting has a cheerful personality. He greets everyone he sees with a smile on his face.
Lin Huiling likes Xiang Yunting very much, "Xiao Xiang, you are here!"
"Auntie Lin, please stretch out your hand and I will give you something delicious." Xiang Yunting said mysteriously.
"What good stuff is that?" Lin Huiling stretched out her hand, smiling so hard that she couldn't stop smiling.
Xiang Yunting took out a candy from his pocket and put it in Lin Huiling's hand, "Aunt Lin, this is a delicious mint candy. Have a sweet mint candy in the morning and you will be in a good mood all day long."
Xiang Yunting always carries some mint candies with him. Eating one occasionally makes him feel sweet and happy.
"Thank you, Xiao Xiang. Auntie Lin likes sweet candies."
Lin Huiling held the mint candy and laughed more and more happily. She especially liked Xiang Yunting's personality. It was very happy to work with such a cheerful and handsome young boy.
Xiang Yunting walked into the kitchen with the candies, and Chen Kangle was already ready to start processing the ingredients.
"Boss Chen, good morning!" Xiang Yunting greeted cheerfully.
"Good morning!" Chen Kangle said while packing his things.
Xiang Yunting held the candy in his hand, thought for a moment, and asked, "Boss Chen, I brought some mints, would you like some?"
Facing Chen Kangle who was working seriously, Xiang Yunting felt that Chen Kangle had a sense of majesty, and he was a little afraid to talk to Chen Kangle like he talked to Lin Huiling.
"Put it on the table first." Chen Kangle said lightly.
She took out the slaughtered duck and prepared to process the duck meat.
"We are going to make a new dish today, beer duck. Come over and chop the duck meat."
When Xiang Yunting was interviewed about making beer duck yesterday, Chen Kangle was thinking about making a new dish of beer duck.
When Xiang Yunting heard Chen Kangle say that today's new dish was beer duck, he felt very happy and had a feeling that Chen Kangle valued him.
He walked over happily and said, "I'm the best at chopping duck meat. Boss, leave it to me."
After washing his hands and putting on an apron, Xiang Yunting picked up a knife and started chopping the duck meat.
"Boss, can I chop it this big?"
Chen Kangle took a look and said, "Chop it a little smaller. Smaller pieces will make it easier to absorb the flavor."
Xiang Yunting was very obedient and chopped it a little smaller. "Boss, is this okay?"
Chen Kangle nodded, "Well, this size is just right."
Xiang Yunting was responsible for chopping the duck meat, cutting side dishes and preparing spices. After he prepared everything, Chen Kangle came over and started making beer duck.
Bring water to a boil and pour in the chopped duck meat to cook off the blood. Remove from the duck, rinse and drain, then set aside.
Add oil to a hot pan and stir-fry the spices until fragrant. Then pour in the duck meat and slowly stir-fry over low heat to release the duck oil. When the surface of the duck meat turns slightly yellow, pour in the beer.
Xiang Yunting stood by and watched carefully. He found that Chen Kangle's beer duck method was a little different from his. When he cooked it, he did not blanch the duck meat, nor did he dry-fry it over low heat. Instead, he stir-fried it directly over high heat.
He also found that the beer Chen Kangle used was different from his. The beer he used yesterday was bought at the convenience store next door. It was the beer he usually drank most often.
"Boss, why do you use this brand of beer?" Xiang Yunting asked curiously.
In his opinion, the brand of beer has little effect on the final taste of beer duck and the difference will not be that big.
This beer was specially selected by Chen Kangle. Many people may think that beer is enough to make beer duck, but if you want to make delicious beer duck, it is very important to choose the right beer. The taste of beer duck made with different beers is different.
After deciding to make beer duck, Chen Kangle began to look for the most suitable beer for making beer duck. She bought several of the most common beers in Hai City, and after tasting them one by one, she chose a local beer in Hai City. The mellow aroma of this beer is very suitable for duck meat.
Xiang Yunting nodded as he listened, feeling a sense of satisfaction from learning new knowledge.
The beer duck was not ready yet, but Xiang Yunting could already smell its rich aroma.
"Boss, it smells so good!" Xiang Yunting was already looking forward to the beer duck made by Chen Kangle.
Cook over high heat until the sauce thickens, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve.
The hot and fragrant beer duck was right in front of him. The aroma of meat and beer blended together, making him salivate. Xiang Yunting swallowed his saliva and said, "Boss, can I have a piece?"
"Well, try it and see how it tastes." Chen Kangle handed the chopsticks to Xiang Yunting.
Xiang Yunting took the chopsticks and immediately picked up a piece of duck meat and put it into his mouth. The fresh and fragrant taste instantly filled his entire mouth, along with a faint scent of beer.
The fresh and refreshing aroma blooms on the tip of the tongue, then slowly spreads to the whole body, awakening every cell in the body and making you feel refreshed.
Xiang Yunting tasted the duck carefully. The duck skin was extremely crispy, and the duck meat was tender and juicy. Every inch of the duck meat was permeated with the fragrance of beer. The fragrance of beer and the freshness of duck meat blended perfectly. The beer not only suppressed the fishy smell of duck meat, but also stimulated the freshness of duck meat.
"Boss, your food tastes much better than mine."
Yesterday, Xiang Yunting thought that the beer duck he made was delicious. But after eating the beer duck made by Chen Kangle today, he instantly disliked the beer duck he made. Compared with the beer duck made by Chen Kangle, the beer duck he made was just an ordinary dish.
The beer duck made by Chen Kangle is hundreds of times more fragrant than the beer duck he made. The most obvious point is that the beer duck made by Chen Kangle does not have a strong smell of alcohol, so even people who don’t like drinking will not feel uncomfortable after eating it.
After eating the beer duck made by Chen Kangle, Xiang Yunting felt very energetic.
"Boss, if there's anything you need me to do, just tell me." Xiang Yunting said energetically.
