Chapter 242: Let him be as arrogant as he wants, the bright moon shines on the river
"So extreme?" Su Yuchen originally wanted to comfort Zhao Xiaojing and tell her that she was overthinking it, but she didn't expect Dazhuang to be so sure.
“Yes. You can look through the comments on my previous videos. As long as there is a little bit of traffic, there will be people in the comment section who are pessimistic or even abusive. All kinds of stereotypes and doubts are flying around. The more traffic, the more harsh the abuse.
But what can I say?" Da Zhuang tilted his head and glanced at Zhao Xiaojing.
“I personally think it doesn’t matter, just adjust your mindset.
Whether it is the video or catering industry, the service targets are the general public, and it is always difficult to satisfy the general public.
If they have never eaten there and just avoid your restaurant because you are a young girl, then there will be no benefit from having such a group of extreme people coming to your restaurant.
Even if you come, they still won't acknowledge your excellence. Instead, they will think based on stereotypes that you are just a gimmick as a chef. They will say that the dish was not cooked by you, but by a male chef. If you cook in front of him, he will say that you must have added additives that should not be added, and used oil that should not be used, otherwise it would not be so delicious.
In short, no matter how you prove yourself, they would rather believe all kinds of absurd statements than acknowledge your excellence.
So there is no point caring about it. Just give up on this part of customers. They can only disgust you but cannot hinder your development.
He can be strong as he wants, the breeze blows over the hills; he can be arrogant as he wants, the bright moon shines over the river.
"You seem to be very open-minded. Does this count as screening customers?" Zhao Xiaojing smiled bitterly.
“Maybe it’s a two-way choice? After all, there are only a small number of mean people, while those who are neutral and objective, and who have an inclusive mentality, will know that what is said in the video is not false after trying it once.” Da Zhuang said leisurely after taking a sip of water.
Zhao Xiaojing nodded, "Okay, let's put it this way."
"Then just send it out as it is now?" Su Yuchen asked.
Da Zhuang's expression changed again, and he shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, I still have to delete some of the clips where classmate Zhao shows his face, leaving only the key and vague ones!"
"Huh? Didn't you just say it didn't matter?" Su Yuchen was confused again.
"It doesn't matter, but try to weaken it as much as possible to prevent possible risks." Da Zhuang said seriously.
Zhao Xiaojing also breathed a sigh of relief, "I also think it's better to reduce it a little."
Things were finalized, Yun Yongyuan and others came to work one after another, Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen also got up and prepared to go to the kitchen, seeing Dazhuang directly re-making the video on the spot, Zhao Xiaojing politely invited him to stay for dinner. "If you work too late, you don't have to order food. If you don't mind, you can have the staff meal with us, it's just a little later."
Da Zhuang was just thinking about how he could take advantage of the situation and eat for free, but then his mind flashed to him, as well as the large and rich employee meals of Zhao Xiaojing and her team, and the tempting aroma during each photo shoot. He immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Then I won't hesitate. I'll move the computer to the front desk when guests come."
The seat at the front desk is very spacious, more than enough for two people to sit. Moreover, after scanning the code, collecting money and printing the receipt, Su Yuchen and Ouyang Yidan did not stay at the front desk all the time, but ran back and forth to help.
"Okay." Zhao Xiaojing nodded, turned and went into the kitchen.
On the workbench in the back kitchen, the fresh mutton bought in the morning had been soaked to remove the blood, rinsed twice by Yun Yongyuan, and placed in a clean vegetable bowl.
The mutton was bought specially for Wen Jin to make hot pot. Wen Jin's company has been ordering 33 meals twice a day since its opening, but recently they called to change the delivery method.
Firstly, the company has become busier. Originally, two meals were provided because we had to work overtime at night, but recently the company has been making some big moves (Wen Jin spoke vaguely on the phone, and Zhao Xiaojing didn't understand either), and the work and rest schedule has become reversed day and night, and the 33 people have been divided into several groups, and they don't eat at the same time.
Second, the weather is getting colder and colder. Even the hottest meals have already lost their temperature by the time they reach the office after half an hour of delivery. Although the company is equipped with a microwave, if you heat it up, it always tastes dry and stale. If you don't heat it up, the warm food in this weather always feels cold at the end.
So Wen Jin simply changed the ordering format, and some people who worked during the day could directly drive EV customers to the store to eat at noon, and the bills were recorded and settled monthly.
For some people who stayed up late at night and couldn't get up at noon, we simply added 10 yuan to their meal allowance and ordered hotpot for dinner. Then we asked Zhao Xiaojing to prepare the hotpot, shabu-shabu dishes, and disposable bowls and chopsticks. A group of people set up an electric hotpot in the tea room and cooked and ate at the same time. They only needed to take turns washing the pot and cleaning it every day.
Fortunately, these people are not picky about food and have no taboos, which gives Zhao Xiaojing plenty of room to play with. She makes hot pot of various types and flavors in turn. Today it's light and tomorrow it's spicy. There are all kinds of light mushroom soup pot, tomato pot, sauerkraut pot, and even the sweet water chestnut pot; and spicy beef oil pot, spicy pot, mala pot, hot and sour pot, and dry spicy pot. Zhao Xiaojing tried them all.
These were recently researched in the virtual space and I have practiced them countless times, but I have never had the opportunity to put them into practice. As a result, someone sent me a pillow when I felt sleepy.
As a result, not only is Zhao Xiaojing full of energy and feels a sense of accomplishment every day, but Wenjin's employees are also so overwhelmed that staying up late and working overtime has become a welfare benefit.
Zhao Xiaojing chopped the green onion into large pieces with a few strokes, broke up the large pieces of ginger, then grabbed a few slices of white radish and put them into the pot with the mutton in cold water.
After blanching, remove the mutton and wash it, and discard the other ingredients. After the hot pot is done, heat the oil in a pan, add the fat from the specially cut lamb chops to fry the mutton fat, and then remove the browned mutton fat residue that has shrunk dozens of times.
Add the ginger slices and sauté for a while, then add the mutton and stir-fry until a slight layer of fat appears on the surface and turns golden brown. Then add garlic, scallion segments, star anise, cinnamon, angelica, bay leaves, dried chilies and other seasonings as well as one-sixth the amount of hot pot base and stir-fry evenly.
Although hot pot base is considered a lazy method, Zhao Xiaojing has also studied it in the virtual space. In fact, whether it is homemade hot pot base or directly adjusting the flavor of mutton base, it can be made in the same way.
But whether it is homemade hot pot base, or directly preparing mutton base, the effect is not much different from using ready-made hot pot base and then adding or reducing seasonings yourself. The subtle differences after heavy oil and spicy taste are not easy to taste, and it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive to make it by yourself, so it is better to use ready-made ones.
The mutton in the pot mixed with the aroma of various seasonings began to stir-fry under medium heat. Zhao Xiaojing saw that the time was almost right, so she filled a pot of boiling water to cover the ingredients, switched to a pressure cooker, and started stewing for half an hour.
