Chapter 1328 The short-lived cousin of the heroine of the Ten Thousand Yuan Household (9)

 After taking two tram trips and getting off, it was already dark.

On the way back to the dormitory, she had to pass the Red Star Hotel, which had not yet closed. Xu Yin remembered that there was a lunch box full of Ms. Then walked towards the hotel.

“I’ve said it several times, these are indeed the shredded potatoes and vegetarian dishes fried by our master chef, and the manager said the same thing when he came.”

Lu Xiaoyan is dealing with a table of difficult customers.

She said that the shredded potatoes and vegetarian dishes tonight were definitely not the chef’s skills. She also said that they had eaten them a few days ago and they tasted much better than tonight’s. She insisted on asking the manager to come out.

The manager is not in the store every day, not to mention it is so late. The guests at other tables have almost finished eating, but this table is still nagging about the two vegetarian dishes.

Had I not been criticized by the manager two days ago, saying that a customer complained that her attitude was not good enough, I would have really wanted to roll my eyes at this moment.

“Then let your chef give us a new fry, and don’t let the apprentices fool us again! I’ll give you double the money!”

"Snapped!"

The young man with a crew cut who spoke was in his early twenties, stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, put one foot on the bench, and coolly took out his wallet, revealing a stack of money bills.

　　　…”

Lu Xiaoyan had no choice but to raise the curtain of the kitchen and call Master Zhao to put out the fire:

“Master Zhao, the guest at table No. 5 suspects that the shredded potatoes and vegetarian dishes just served were not fried by you, and I have to ask you to come out and confront them.”

Master Zhao didn't have to work the night shift, but this was not the case with Lao Li, who was on shift. His wife had acute appendicitis last night and was sent to the hospital for surgery. Lao Li didn't sleep all night and had to stay with his wife in the hospital, so he temporarily asked him to replace him. class.

After working the morning shift and the evening shift, it had been a busy day. After frying the last dish, Master Zhao was also very tired. He asked Xiao Guo from the window next door to help serve the dish. He took a towel and wiped his sweat and walked out: "What's the matter with?"

“Here! The chef is here! You can ask yourselves!” Lu Xiaoyan glared at the young man with a flat head.

The young man with a flat head raised his chin and pointed at the dishes on the table: "Master, I'm not nitpicking. Tonight's shredded potatoes and vegetarian dishes are far worse than the ones I ate at lunch the day before yesterday. Are you too busy? The apprentice fired it? I'm not telling you, your apprentice is not good at your craftsmanship, so you'd better not let it out and embarrass yourself."

　　　…”

 Master Zhao became more and more confused as he listened.

Before the boy with a flat head finished speaking, he pointed at the guests present: "They are all my good brothers. They just returned to the city today. I gave them a clean break and specially invited them to have a good meal. But you let your apprentice cook the food?" Fool me?"

　　　…”

Master Zhao finally understood. Do you think the two dishes he cooked are not delicious?

 At noon the day before yesterday? It was his shift at noon the day before yesterday, but had he cooked these two dishes?

The day before yesterday, he took over a celebration banquet from a government agency and was busy making a few more complicated stews and fried dishes. It seemed that Xiao Xu had left all the simple steaming and stir-frying...

etc!

The potato shreds and vegetarian three delicacies that this young man with a flat head tastes so good are not Xiao Xu’s craftsmanship, are they?

Master Zhao opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

He can't be allowed to admit in front of so many diners that his fried shredded potatoes and vegetarian dishes are not as good as those of a deputy who has only been here for half a month, right?

Lu Xiaoyan also understood when she heard this, and rushed to explain: "Master Zhao confiscated his apprentice, and the second chef who was serving him went home on vacation. There is also a chef who asked for leave. Every dish today was cooked by Master Zhao."

"How is that possible?" The young man on the platform expressed doubt, "Who cooked the dishes for lunch the day before yesterday? The quality is too different!"

　　　…”

“At noon the day before yesterday? I remembered it!” Lu Xiaoyan slapped her forehead, “Master Zhao was very busy that day, and Xiao Xu made all the simple vegetarian dishes.”

"Who is Xiao Xu?" The flat-headed young man caught the word, "Is he also the chef in your store? Is he here? I want to ask him to cook some dishes. Not only will I eat here, I will also pack two dishes."

　　　…”

At this time, not to mention the delicate Master Zhao, even Lu Xiaoyan and Xiao Guo, who was a temporary guest at the waiter, heard the connotation: the co-authors disdained Master Zhao's craftsmanship and wanted to eat Xiao Xu's cooking.

The two of them secretly glanced at Master Zhao from the corner of their eyes, neither of them dared to say a word. The air suddenly became quiet.

 The young man with a flat head asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is he not here?"

　　　…”

At this moment, Xu Yin walked in with a baggage on her arm.

“Ah! Xu Yin!” Lu Xiaoyan was the first to see her and almost jumped up with excitement, “You’re back!”

"Yes, I'm back." Xu Yin was a little confused. Isn't this business hours? Why are you so excited to see her?

“Xiao Xu, you’re here at the right time!” Master Zhao took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible, “These guests want to eat the shredded potatoes and vegetarian dishes you made.”

“Pack a few servings of other dishes as well.” The crew-cut young man quickly added, “Pack up two more servings of your best dishes.”

Master Zhao glanced at him, gritted his teeth and said to Xu Yin: "You have to be able to handle it and order another dish according to his menu. You will have to work overtime. Anyway, he is willing to pay for double dishes."

“Yes!” The crew-cut young man patted his wallet cheerfully and replied, “As long as the food is delicious, money is not an issue.”

 Xu Yin: “…”

 What's going on?

“Let’s settle this table first. I’ll explain everything else to you slowly when I go back to the dormitory.” Lu Xiaoyan took the bundle from Xu Yin’s hand and pushed her into the kitchen.

In this way, Xu Yin's rest shift ended early. She put on her apron and hat, turned on the stove, and stir-fried a few dishes ordered by the flat-headed young man.

Master Zhao did not leave to smoke in the back alley this time. Instead, he stood beside Xu Yin and carefully observed her techniques.

Looking at the whole link, I found that it was indeed different from what I had speculated:

After washing the potato shreds to remove the starch, stir and soak them in water with a few drops of white vinegar;

 When the pot is hot, turn to low heat first, then add cold oil, then add shredded dried chilies and stir-fry.

Wait until the dried chili shreds change color, then stir-fry the green onion and **** shreds until they become fragrant.

 After sautéing the onion and **** shreds until they become fragrant, add the pepper shreds and drained potato shreds in sequence.

 After putting the shredded potatoes into the pot, quickly add rice vinegar, salt, and sugar. At this time, turn to high heat and stir-fry for ten seconds. Drop some rice vinegar before taking it out of the pot, and it is ready to serve.

Master Zhao opened his mouth with disbelief on his face: How can a simple dish of potato shreds be so particular? Xiao Xu's movements were so fast that he was dazzled.

I think he used to stir-fry over high heat, adding shredded ginger, shredded pepper, and dried red pepper to the pan at the same time, in no particular order.

 After putting the shredded potatoes into the pot and seasoning, add a spoonful of broth to thicken it. The taste has always been good. I never thought that someone who didn't add thickener would make the fried shredded potatoes more popular than his fried ones.

Xiao Guo opened the curtain and walked in: "You'll know it's ready when you smell the aroma. Master Hong's window has closed early, so let me help serve the food!"

"etc."

 Master Zhao took a pair of clean chopsticks, picked up one chopstick, and then asked Xiao Guo to take it out to serve the food.

 He squinted his eyes while eating: "It's sour, crispy, and clear..."

It turns out that shredded potatoes without thickening can be fried so delicious?

The diners at other tables were about to get up and leave, but when they smelled the spicy and sour aroma, they couldn't help but stop and asked, "Can we add more vegetables?"

 “No more! It’s closed!”

Lu Xiaoyan raised her head and glanced at the wall clock.

 State-owned hotels are so punctual!

 “If you want to eat, come back tomorrow!”

　　　…”
