"These lotus root slices can be stir-fried, made into spicy and sour dishes, or fried with shredded pork slices. But no matter how you cook them, as long as they are stir-fried, you must add a few slices of ginger. The ginger can remove the coldness of the lotus roots and at the same time,

It can bring out the umami flavor of lotus root strips."

Any food ingredient has a suitable partner, and the best partner for lotus root strips is ginger. For many Hubei people, eating lotus root strips without ginger is simply a waste of natural resources.

Lin Xu secretly noted it down, then took out the lotus leaves and started cooking.

Chop the ribs into small pieces, soak them first, then take them out and marinate them with soy sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, green onions, ginger and other ingredients. After they are fragrant, grab them with starch, wrap them in lotus leaves and put them in a steamer for steaming.

.

Get a small basin, put a tablespoon of flour, a tablespoon of starch, an egg, a tablespoon of cooking oil in it, then add salt and five-spice powder to make a thin batter, then pick off the petals of the lotus and wash them, etc.

It can be fried in batter later.

While he was busy working, Uncle Gao said:

"The first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China will be filmed on the weekend. Xiaoxu will make fried chicken and Bao Min will make drunken fermented shrimps. I won't do it. The stage in the future belongs to young people. Old guys can't always try to steal the young ones.

People's limelight."

Lin Xu didn't expect it to be like this, so he asked curiously:

"This is the most important dish in the state banquet series, and it is also the first state banquet after the broadcast. Are you really not going to participate?"

"I haven't participated in anything. I have been doing state banquets all my life and have seen them in every occasion. In the future, I plan to discuss the teaching materials with Lao Guo and Lao Qiu and try to draw up all the courses before the school is repaired."

Xie Baomin asked in a low voice:

"Master, why do you suddenly don't like to be in the limelight?"

The two senior fellow apprentices were a little unaccustomed to it, and they always felt that they were different from the master they knew.

Uncle Gao said while cutting ginger slices:

"I feel bored, but the teaching is quite interesting, and Xiaoxu's school has also set up advanced training classes for chefs of all levels, which is very suitable for us old guys to stand on the stage and rely on our old skills. This is enough."
p>

Since Uncle Gao didn't want to participate in the filming of the last state banquet, Lin Xu didn't force it.

I just hope that I can perform well and earn face for Master.

The three masters and apprentices quickly prepared a table of meals.

When they were ready to eat, Geng Lele brought Lucy over to share the meal. The two of them also bought a box of kvass, as if they would never return until they were drunk.

Shen Jiayue immediately became excited when she saw the limited drink of the Sand Sculpture Team:

"Haha, you know we have our exclusive beer. Get me a bottle. I want to drink it today."

Lucy said seriously:

"Drinking is bad for your health..."

Luo Shan glanced at her, her eyes full of care for the mentally retarded.

"Sister Yue, this lotus flower is so fried, so crispy and fragrant!"

"Of course, Master is a master at making lotus root belts. Master is so lucky."

"It's not that I'm lucky, I'm just better than some foreign devils. Come here, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. These lotus root strips are quite fresh. If we're not busy tomorrow, let's go to the ginkgo garden to pick some more."

Lucy didn't know that she was being taken along. As soon as she heard about going to the Ginkgo Garden, she suggested going by bike and said she wanted to compete with Luo Shan.

It's definitely very satisfying to have your love rival follow you and eat your ass.

But Roxanne is not fooled:

"Okay, bicycles with less than one million yuan are prohibited from participating. What do you think?"

Of course, Lucy can't beat Luo Shan, especially when competing for financial resources, she will be instantly turned into a scumbag.

She said angrily:

"No wonder those competitions set many conditions. They must all be a conspiracy of capitalists."

Shen Jiayue took a sip of kvass and talked about her plans to travel.

Lucy was so envious of her, but when Shen Jiayue invited her to go with him, this proletarian warrior from the West couldn't help but shake his head:

"I don't want to go, I don't want to be a light bulb... I joined a cycling club and went cycling on weekends. They were very disdainful at first and said that bicycles with less than 3,000 yuan were not allowed to join. I lit up

When I turned on my bike, those people started calling me "rich woman" again... Why can't those with a bicycle price of less than 3,000 yuan join? The poor are not even qualified to ride a bicycle?"

Geng Lele smiled:

"Hey, aren't these people just trying to show off? This is especially true in the field of cycling. You have to ride a bike that costs two or three thousand. They keep sarcastic and sarcastic, and then inadvertently post about the overdraft and Weili loan.

The bicycle I saved up to 10,000 yuan will be as precious as my biological father."

Lin Xu ate the lotus root strips on the table. He knew it was not unpalatable, but he didn't expect it to be so delicious.

Whether served cold, stir-fried, or stewed in a casserole, it tastes sweet and refreshing, and very comfortable.

Xie Baomin asked curiously:

"Junior brother has been eating lotus root strips. Are you planning to sell new ones in the store?"

"I do have this idea, but I have to ask Lao Huang first to see what the price of lotus root strips is. If this thing is not kept, you can't buy too much at one time. If the price is high, even if it is delicious, it will not be sold in the store.

New."

When doing catering, you can't just pursue delicious food, nor can you ignore profits. This is why many chefs end up failing when opening restaurants.

I wanted so much to make delicious food for customers without considering the cost at all. In the end, I couldn't make ends meet and had no choice but to close down the business.

On the contrary, the kind of bosses who don't know how to cook can actually open the business for a longer time, because they think from a business perspective and must make the dishes as delicious as possible while ensuring profits, so as to gain a good reputation.

Double profits.

Uncle Gao pointed to the lotus leaf steamed pork ribs in the middle and said:

"This dish is more suitable for summer, and lotus leaves are cheap. You can try making it in the store. As for the lotus root strips, just treat it as a seasonal side dish. Only serve it cold dishes, not hot dishes, otherwise it will reduce the sales of other dishes."<

/p>

He must be a professional master, he can see through Lin Xu’s thoughts at a glance.

"Thank you, Master, for your advice. I will study it when I get back later. You are right. It can be served as a cold dish."

But even if you only have cold dishes, you can still make them in a variety of ways. For example, the pickled pepper flavor that the chef made today can be made into sweet and spicy or sweet and sour flavors later. There are many ways.

Moreover, cold lotus root strips, no matter what flavor, can increase appetite. Maybe customers should add vegetables while eating.

After drinking and eating, everyone sat down and chatted for a while, then left.

Lin Xu drove Geng Lele and Lucy to Tsinghua and Peking University respectively, and then drove home.

After arriving home, he turned on the TV for Dundun and called Lao Huang.

"Boss Huang, is it easy to buy lotus root strips here in Beijing? What's the price?"

Lao Huang immediately said:

"Yes, now is the time to go on the market. It's not expensive. If you want it, I can send some over tomorrow?"

Lin Xu thought about the customer flow in the store and said:

"Okay, let's test the water first by getting 70 to 80 jins. If possible, I'll probably get more than 100 jins every day from now on. We'll discuss the specific amount later."

"Okay, okay, no problem. I'll send it to you early tomorrow morning. I guarantee you won't miss anything."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Huang smiled and said to Mrs. Huang:

"In terms of excellence in the catering industry, it has to be Lin Ji. Just to try out one dish, he has to use seventy or eighty kilograms of ingredients. No wonder those colleagues are jealous."

Mrs. Huang glanced at him:

"Sister Li in the office said that she is tortured every day until her legs become weak. I am also jealous."

Lao Huang: "..."

These are not the same thing, why just push it up.

No, you have to find a fault and make a mistake proactively to get yourself a chance to sleep on the sofa, otherwise you will be chewed alive by this bitch... Oh, if she could be ten years younger, she would be able to tolerate her being so arrogant!

Lao Huang took a sip of the wolfberry water in front of him, his eyes filled with sadness, anger and desolation...

The next morning, Lin Xu did not cook at home, but came to the store early to check the condition of the lotus root strips.

After arriving, I just put Dundun on the service table and let him go back to sleep, when I saw Lao Huang walking in with two dark circles under his eyes and holding his waist.

He asked curiously:

"Boss Huang, what's going on?"

Lao Huang sighed meaningfully:

"If you have a good wife at home, it's hard to treat wolfberry..."
