Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

Chapter 400 Sophora japonica dumplings

"Of course I have. I've been working in the store for so long, so I must have been influenced by it. Besides, if we are not efficient, how can we grow bigger and stronger?" While talking and laughing, Lu Hongwen sprinkled a layer of flour on the kneading pad and then cut the dough into small pieces.

Zhao Xiaojing also washed her hands again, picked up the rolling pin, and rolled the small dough into round dumpling skins.

"The aroma comes out as soon as the stuffing is mixed. It has to be Xiao Zhao!" Hou Guihua stood aside and used a small spoon to pick up the stuffing in the bowl and smelled it. She gave a thumbs up with admiration, "This little smell has tempted me and I can't wait to try it. It's really good!"

"Sister Jingzi is really omnipotent. Not only is she good at cooking and mixing dumpling stuffing, but she can even roll out the dumpling skins so skillfully!" Lu Hongwen had already cut all the dough into small pieces. He put down the knife and saw that Zhao Xiaojing had already rolled out a small stack of dumpling skins.

"I wasn't so good at it before. I learned it from Su Yuchen's mother during the Chinese New Year. They roll out the dough quickly and well." Zhao Xiaojing said with a smile.

Su's mother and Su Yuchen's grandmother are both experts in making noodles. During the Chinese New Year, Zhao Xiaojing would watch them when she had time. Su's mother also taught her roughly, and after some practice in the virtual space, she was almost good at rolling out the noodles.

"That's because you have a good learning ability. No one else can learn it!" Hou Guihua waved her hands and walked towards the back kitchen door. "I asked Xiao Wu to come and make it. I said I could do it alone! At Xiao Zhao's speed, I can't do it alone! Xiao Wu!"

"I'm here! Do you want to make dumplings?" Wu Kaile immediately ran in excitedly, and as soon as he reached the operating table, he reached out to make the dumpling skins.

"Hey, go wash your hands!" Hou Guihua hurriedly shouted behind him. Just as she was about to grab Wu Kaile's big hand, Zhao Xiaojing quickly blocked it with her arm.

"Hiss!" Wu Kaile shook his hands several times. "Sister, have you practiced Iron Sand Palm?"

"Have I not scolded you during this period? How many times have I told you that you can touch food without washing your hands?" Zhao Xiaojing ignored Wu Kaile's question and instead turned cold in an instant.

"Sister, sister, I was wrong! But I just took a shower next door... If you don't believe me, look!" Wu Kaile stood up straight and stretched out his hands in front of Zhao Xiaojing.

"Washing hands next door?" There was complete silence in the kitchen. Zhao Xiaojing frowned and looked at Wu Kaile's hands.

"Sister Geng said that some of the ribs had been fried twice, and selling them to customers would affect the taste, so I ate a little and washed my hands after eating..."

Oh, it turns out he was eating secretly next door! Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the corner of Wu Kaile's mouth that was not wiped clean, and was confused for a moment.

Geng Mingyan and Hou Guihua are used to frying food in advance at mealtime and selling them while frying, so that customers don't have to wait when they order. Zhao Xiaojing's requirement is to fry the food for the first time to set the shape, and then fry it again until it is crispy, but never fry it a third time before selling it to customers, as it will affect the taste.

Generally speaking, the requirements for ingredients do not conflict with the habits of the two sisters. On the contrary, because of the diligence of the two sisters, the fried food and braised pork next door are served very quickly. Regardless of whether the order is for take-away or dine-in, the food will not be delayed at all.

Therefore, it is understandable that they were fried in advance and not sold today. As for Wu Kaile stealing food, that is even less of a problem. It is better for the employees to eat it than to waste it.

"I'm sorry for blaming you wrongly, but remember to wipe your mouth next time you eat something secretly!" Zhao Xiaojing took out a piece of paper from a paper box on the side and stuffed it into Wu Kaile's hand.

"Ah?...Oh!" Wu Kaile was stunned. It took him two seconds to react and he quickly wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth.

The atmosphere in the kitchen relaxed and everyone started laughing.

After Wu Kaile joined, the industry chain of rolling dough and making dumplings began to mature. At the beginning, Zhao Xiaojing and Lv Hongwen rolled the dough, while Wu Kaile and Hou Guihua made dumplings. Later, Zhao Xiaojing's speed became faster and faster, and Lv Hongwen also joined the dumpling-making group and made dumplings with the other two. Finally, when Yun Yongyuan and Nie Xiuqi were free to help, all the dumplings had been made. Hou Guihua started to boil water, and Wu Kaile and Lv Hongwen went to the front hall to clean.

Seeing that the two chefs were idle, Hou Guihua consciously gave up the position of head chef who was cooking dumplings, wiped her sleeves, and shouted to go to the next room to clean up.

"Boil water first, and then cook in three big pots together to avoid too many people fighting over it." Zhao Xiaojing saw the two of them taking over and turned around to give instructions.

About three kilograms of the fifteen kilograms of locust flowers were given to **ping, and the remaining ten kilograms were used to make dumplings. About two kilograms were left for Zhao Xiaojing to make a cold locust flower dish.

The remaining locust flowers had been blanched together with the locust flowers for making dumplings, then soaked in cold water and wrung dry, and were now lying dryly in the vegetable basket.

Add minced garlic, chili, light soy sauce and oyster sauce into a small bowl and add hot oil to add fragrance. Then add a few drops of sesame oil, half a spoonful of cooking oil and half a spoonful of salt and mix well. Then pour the locust flowers into a mixing bowl and then pour in the prepared sauce and mix well.

"Is there enough food? I'll clean up right away." Wan Yuyue finished cooking the last dish for the guests and saw that the three were busy, so she ran to Zhao Xiaojing to take a look.

"That's enough. We've made a lot of dumplings. I'll just fry some wild onions and you can clean up." Zhao Xiaojing put the mixed locust flowers on a plate and put them aside, then took out the washed wild onions.

**Ping gave a handful of wild onions. According to her recommendation, scrambled eggs were the most fragrant, but the dumplings were also filled with locust flowers and eggs. To avoid repetition, Zhao Xiaojing used the chopped pork with three parts fat and seven parts lean meat that was stir-fried with peppers and pork.

Put the fat into the pan first and let the surface turn brown. After the fat is fried out, add the lean meat. Then turn to medium-low heat, add minced garlic and dried chili peppers, stir-fry until fragrant, then add wild onions, light soy sauce, salt, and a little pepper powder. Stir-fry evenly over high heat. After the aroma comes out, add the scallion leaves and stir-fry with a large spoon before serving.

Both dishes were super large portions and were served in two stainless steel bowls. Zhao Xiaojing saw that Yun Yongyuan and Nie Xiuqi's dumplings were gradually floating on the water and would soon be out of the pot, so she quickly prepared two bowls of dipping sauce.

"Sister, how much did you spend on this disinfection cabinet?" By the sink, Ouyang Yidan looked at the disinfection cabinet back and forth, her eyes shining.

"A few thousand dollars. This time it's custom-made according to the store's size, so it's a little more expensive." Zhao Xiaojing said vaguely.

"No wonder! It's really expensive for a reason! I didn't notice it when I took it out at noon, but now after washing the dishes, I realized that it is so suitable. Every bowl has a home!" Ouyang Yidan clapped his hands in praise.

"That's true. No wonder rich people buy haute couture. Expensive custom-made ones are just right!"

"That makes sense! Then we should make a lot of money and buy high-end clothes as soon as possible!"

Two new waiters passed by and followed Ouyang Yidan's gaze towards the disinfection cabinet. They were inexplicably inspired to improve themselves.
