Chapter 1013: Stewed Goose in an Iron Pot
"Another way to eat is a special way of eating in a small county in Yun Province. This kind of earth hot pot is an earth hot pot as the name suggests. It cannot be cooked in a copper pot, but is cooked with unique local techniques. To cook the clay hot pot, we need to simmer it slowly over low heat. Of course, the second type of clay hot pot is obviously not suitable for us, so what I said is that the first clay hot pot
is just right. It is available in mutton shops and cooks very well. Convenient.
Xu Huajing geared up and continued to ask: "A Ning, besides these two kinds, are there any other special hot pots?
"Yes, of course there is, but aunt, we have to take it step by step and figure it out slowly. " Our main products this week are grilled chicken, fried chicken and goose stewed in iron pot. If the business can be stable next week, we will not add new ones. If the business is obviously slowing down, we will add dry hot pot and local hot pot
. Grow a specialty hot pot and sell it for a while. Once the business shows signs of slowing down, you can add new dishes.
In addition to cooking, Xu Wanning's greatest pleasure in her previous life was traveling around the country. She especially liked some niche tourist destinations and discovered local delicacies.
She has a very high talent for cooking, so as long as she has enough ingredients, she can basically replicate it 70% to 80%. If she cooks it a few more times, she can make it 90%. It’s done.
Therefore, she has a lot of menus in her mind that can satisfy both Xujiapu Restaurant and No. 2 Store.
As long as the No. 2 store continues to have fresh dishes that no one else has eaten, the business of the No. 2 store will continue to be prosperous.
"Sure, I'll do as you say! But this grilled chicken, fried chicken and goose stewed in an iron pot, I guess you have to teach our chefs first, they may not be able to do it.
When we hired chefs, we asked Those who know how to barbecue can only cook common home-cooked dishes.
After all, the better chefs are basically poached by big restaurants
: "Roasted chicken and fried chicken are easy to say." , you can learn this as soon as you can. Stewing a goose in an iron pot is not difficult, you just need to learn how to do it. As for the sauce, I will fry it myself in advance and let the chef add it in.
It’s not that Xu Wanning wants to hide her secrets and is unwilling to reveal everything. The main reason is that she is now very interested in it. The current two chefs don't know each other very well. If one of them learns how to stew goose in an iron pot, and the other one is poached by another restaurant at a high price, she won't be able to cry even if she wants to.
Although she knew a lot of menus, missing the goose stew in the iron pot wouldn't have much impact, but it was too disgusting.
Therefore, for the sake of conservatism, the secret sauce must be firmly in her own hands.
"I have already brought the iron pot to stew the goose. After Yang Kai brings the goose to me later, I will be able to teach
Yang Kai, one of the twenty-odd veterans. , is now responsible for pulling things to the No. 2 store.
After a short time, Yang Kai pulled the chickens, ducks and geese over, along with a few lambs and piglets.
Xu Wanning called the two chefs over.
"This weekend, our No. 2 store will add three new dishes, namely roast chicken, fried chicken and goose stewed in a wok . Which of you chooses grilled chicken and fried chicken, or who chooses stewed goose in an iron pot?
The two chefs looked at each other, and then said: "Boss Xu, we are already very busy with barbecues. If we add new dishes, we are afraid that we will be too busy. "
Let me tell you, roasted whole lamb and roasted suckling pig. The popularity has dropped in the past few days, and there will only be fewer and fewer customers in the future. So at this time, our No. 2 store must add new dishes so that there will be a steady stream
of customers. "Just imagine, there will be fewer customers coming into the store in the future. , is your commission also reduced? But after you learn these new dishes, as the number of guests increases, so will your commission! "
The commission model of the No. 2 store is slightly different from that of the Xujiapu restaurant.
In the Xujiapu restaurant, every time the chef cooks a dish, he can get a corresponding commission based on the price of the dish.
In the No. 2 store, Only when you sell a whole sheep or a whole pig can you get a commission.
Otherwise, you will get a commission for every customer who comes in, and most of the money earned will be given to the chef.
"The boss is right, then I will." Choose the goose stewed in an iron pot.
This dish has a domineering name. As soon as you hear it, you know that many people will order this dish. Doesn’t his commission come from it?
"Okay, then you will be responsible for stewing the goose in the iron pot, and you will be responsible for roasting and frying the chicken. You should be able to make soup for chickens, ducks and geese, right? You should also be able to eviscerate chickens, ducks and geese. Right?"
"Yes, of course, this job is a piece of cake for us, no problem at all!"
Although their cooking skills are not ranked among the best in Beijing, they were all before becoming chefs. People who have been apprentices for several years have also been doing this kind of craft work for many years, and their hands and feet are very nimble.
Chef Zhao cooked two chickens first, and Yin Huan taught him how to roast the chickens first.
“The techniques for roasting chicken and roasting whole lamb and roasting suckling pig are not much different, but because the chicken is small and the meat is relatively loose, you have to pay attention to the heat. Don’t overcook it, otherwise no one will eat it if it is burnt.
"The sauces for roasted chicken and roasted whole lamb and roasted suckling pig are different. Remember, you must not mix them up, otherwise it will taste different. Don't waste the chicken in vain.
" Don't take out the chicken intestines either. It was a waste and was left to be sent to the Xujiapu restaurant next door. Whether it was frying or shabu-shabu, it was all used there.
Xu Wanning explained any small details that might have been missed, and under her guidance, Chef Zhao also The roasted chicken was done.
He sniffed, "Don't tell me, it smells really different from roasted whole lamb
." Trying to see his skills,
Chef Zhao tore off a meatless chicken wing and took a few bites. He said in surprise: "The taste is indeed different, it's so delicious
." Next, I will teach you how to make fried chicken
eyes. Chef Zhao's eyes widened as he watched Xu Wanning pour half a barrel of oil into the pot. .
"boss! My great boss! Do you know how many vegetables can be fried with this oil, but why do you just pour it all into the pot? Isn't this a waste? "
Xu Wanning shook her head, "If you don't have too much oil, the fried food will not taste good.
"But this..."
"The oil used for fried chicken is not dirty, and you can take it home and continue cooking. But we have agreed first, after In our No. 2 store, the oil used for fried chicken cannot be left overnight, and the oil used for fried chicken cannot be used for cooking
. Even if it is used for cooking, the chefs and waiters will take it home and use it at home, but it must not be used on customers for
food safety reasons. The problem must be paid attention to at all times.
