Chapter 196: Technical Level is Controlled by the Atmosphere
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the endless online and dine-in orders gradually subsided, and the workload in the kitchen gradually eased.
Zhao Xiaojing served out the last portion of stir-fried pork liver and stood aside, leaving the rest of the cooking to Yun Yongyuan.
Yun Yongyuan subconsciously straightened his back, and his expression even became serious while cooking.
Although he was very busy today, Zhao Xiaojing paid close attention to every dish as the quality of his meals was unstable. If any dish was not up to standard, she would immediately ask for it to be re-cooked. In total, 16 dishes were ruined that night.
Yun Yongyuan was quite nervous about this. Every time he waited for Zhao Xiaojing to see if the dishes were good, a layer of sweat would appear on his back even though he was wearing a sweater.
Fortunately, Yun Yongyuan is the type of person whose potential can be stimulated the greater the pressure. He became busier and busier throughout the night, and Zhao Xiaojing's expression became more and more serious unconsciously. On the contrary, his potential increased as the work went on. By the last hour, the failure rate was close to zero.
"Good, the heat is just right this time." Zhao Xiaojing watched Yun Yongyuan stir-fry the three fresh vegetables and nodded with satisfaction.
“Huh, junior sister, you finally smiled. You are so serious when you are serious. You are so much like the master.” Yun Yongyuan served the dishes on the plate and let out a sigh of relief after Ouyang Yidan took it away.
"Really? Maybe I'm too busy, so I speak briefly." Zhao Xiaojing laughed in surprise, recalling the scene in the evening when she was too busy to talk and asked Yun Yongyuan to re-fry the food as soon as she took one look at the pot.
This thought suddenly gave me the feeling of being a master chef giving orders, and it surprisingly seemed pretty good.
"Yes, you told me to fry it again with a blank expression, and the chef's aura was fully revealed, with an imposing manner of two meters eight." Yun Yongyuan smiled shyly while washing the pot. "But it's really useful. When you are serious, the strings in my head are tense. I always think that I have wasted so many dishes of yours. If you don't fry it well again, you will fire me, and I will immediately get my hands on it."
Zhao Xiaojing chuckled. She didn't expect that Yun Yongyuan's technical level was still controlled by the atmosphere. After thinking about it, she swallowed the words, "Don't worry, the salary you voluntarily reduced is one thousand yuan, which is more than enough to buy the few wasted dishes." She was afraid that once she said this, Yun Yongyuan would no longer be nervous and his performance would start to deteriorate again.
As he was talking, Lu Hongwen walked in from the hall rubbing his temple. As soon as he entered the door, he washed his hands, read the menu, and walked to the side to start serving the pork trotter rice.
Zhao Xiaojing watched Yun Yongyuan blanch the shredded potatoes, reminded him that it was time to take them out, and then turned to look at Lu Hongwen for a while. "Are you too tired? Are you okay?"
"I overestimated myself. Building 8, the male dormitory! Six floors with a corner! No elevator!" Lv Hongwen shook his head with a look of despair. "The students who were invited to the female dormitory must be exhausted. They just asked me if I have to run like this every day.
Today, several orders were not delivered on time. Although they were old customers and didn’t say anything, it’s not good if it takes too long.”
While speaking, Lu Hongwen served a portion of pork trotter rice, beef brisket with potatoes, and braised chicken with mushrooms. After packing them up, he stood over and waited for Yun Yongyuan to finish frying the spicy and sour potato shreds.
“Seasoning, over-frying.
You can't keep going like this, you can't handle it all by yourself, and there will be more and more orders in the future." Zhao Xiaojing looked back at Yun Yongyuan's pot and reminded him, then turned around and talked to Lu Hongwen.
"Yes, I'm thinking of a way." Lu Hongwen sighed, watched Yun Yongyuan fry the shredded potatoes, then hurriedly packed the lunch box and turned around to continue delivering the meal.
Zhao Xiaojing thought about it, then looked down at the takeout orders. She counted and found that there were about 87 orders in total, 51 for boys' dormitories and 36 for girls' dormitories.
Lu Hongwen ran back and forth about five times to deliver these 87 orders. During the prime dinner time, there were more than 5 orders. Lu Hongwen waited for a while and delivered about 40 orders at a time.
It was indeed a bit too much to think about it this way. Firstly, it would take some time to run back and forth and deliver the meals to the dormitory door. Secondly, he was the only one delivering the meals, and when he came back, the orders would have piled up, so the waiting time for the first orders would be a bit long.
Zhao Xiaojing shook her head. It is true that practice makes perfect. No matter how careful a person is, it is difficult to anticipate all problems before actually doing something.
However, there is always a solution to any problem. We can discuss it after Lu Hongwen comes back.
When Lu Hongwen came back, it was already 9:30 in the evening. Zhao Xiaojing and Yun Yongyuan had just prepared their own work meals and took them to the hall together.
At dinner, Zhao Xiaojing originally thought that Yun Yongyuan wanted to continue practicing and was going to let him cook. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Yidan came running and pestered her to make stir-fried pork with peppers and stir-fried beef. Yun Yongyuan also nodded frantically in agreement.
After smelling the delicious food all night, the two of them had already started to think about these two new dishes they had never eaten before, and asked Zhao Xiaojing to make them again in the evening.
Zhao Xiaojing agreed with a helpless smile, and lowered her head to look around. There was a lot of peppers and some pork, but no beef.
In the end, he had to make a large bowl of stir-fried pork with peppers, and cut up the remaining half of a pig's trotter in the pot of stewed soup, as well as a large plate of vegetarian stewed dishes. Yun Yongyuan also made stir-fried yam slices and a seaweed and egg soup.
"You're back just in time. No need to wait for you. Come and eat!" Su Yuchen had just brought the rice when he looked up and saw Lu Hongwen coming in, and hurriedly greeted him.
The five people were extremely tired, so they sat around a square table for six. They had no time to chat. Each of them held a bowl of rice and simultaneously stretched out their chopsticks to the fried pork with peppers, and couldn't wait to put them into their mouths to chew.
Except for Zhao Xiaojing, the other four were all alert and conquered by the smell.
The fried pork with peppers is freshly out of the wok, emitting hot steam and giving off a strong wok aroma when you put it in your mouth.
The peppers are slightly burnt, which is when the spiciness is the most stimulating, and then cut into dices to maximize the area in contact with the soup. Each piece is oily and exudes a domineering spicy flavor, which strongly stimulates the taste buds. One bite makes people feel that their tongue is activated.
The texture of the meat, which is 30% fat and 70% lean, is just right after stir-frying. The fat is not greasy, and has a slightly crispy and fragrant taste. The lean meat is tender and slightly chewy when eaten. It has a very spicy taste after being soaked in the rich soup, and the spiciness is accompanied by the rich aroma of oil from the fat.
Take a piece of pepper and a piece of meat and chew them together. After taking a bite, you will be quickly attacked by the stimulating spicy aroma and then be surrounded by the rich aroma of meat, oil, and fermented black beans. All of a sudden, all kinds of mixed aromas bloom in your mouth one after another, which is so fresh and fragrant.
Especially after taking a few bites and then scooping up a few chopsticks of the fragrant, glutinous and soft rice, you will feel that the taste buds dominated by the strong aroma are instantly soothed, gently relieved and neutralized.
For a moment, everyone felt that the fatigue from a day's work was gently driven away, and their bodies were involuntarily activated, woke up, and healed.
After eating a few mouthfuls of food comfortably, Su Yuchen finally breathed a sigh of satisfaction and looked up at Zhao Xiaojing. "This fried pork with chili is so delicious, why didn't you make it for me earlier?"
