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

Chapter 90: The pros and cons of each cuisine

But after the boss's improvement, the crispy balls were filled with chilled mashed potatoes and fruit pieces, and the dipping sauce was changed to yogurt. It tastes very refreshing and refreshing.

"You don't know until you eat out. Restaurants nowadays are so creative and the dishes they serve are so imaginative. It seems that we really can't limit ourselves to one place and learn one kind of cooking."

Zhao Xiaojing sighed at the moment.

“Indeed, now that the economy has developed, people’s pursuit of food has become more refined, and fusion restaurants have emerged.

The main feature of this kind of restaurant is cuisine without borders. If you want to eat shredded pork with fish flavor or stir-fried kidney with green onions, they don’t have it. If you want to eat pure steak, they don’t have pasta either.

But if you want to eat some hot pot-flavored pizza, fish-flavored pork-flavored pasta, or steaks with mixed flavors, you can come here. It has a little bit of everything, but nothing is pure and original.

So the reviews are polarized. Some people think it is a good fusion and creative, while others think its dishes are neither fish nor fowl and are just tricky.”

Guo Gaoang poured drinks for the two students, and the three of them chatted while drinking.

"In the past two years, fusion restaurants have opened up like a gust of wind, but all of them have collapsed after the limelight. Only this one has persisted the longest because it is quite unique and does not just mix a few things together. The owner really has his own ideas and the combinations are relatively reasonable."

“Indeed. For example, this Indian crispy ball, although I haven’t tried the original version, I think it tastes great.

The crispy potato chip-like shell on the outside is paired with chilled mashed potatoes inside. The mashed potatoes seem to have been seasoned, and are salty. The fruit pieces added on top are sweet and sour, and the dipping sauce is yogurt. Originally, these things seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but they are surprisingly reasonable when paired together. The taste is very harmonious. It just feels sour, sweet and refreshing. The trace of salt in the mashed potatoes is not abrupt, but adds a fresh taste. "

After listening to what Guo Gaoang said, Zhao Xiaojing also started to analyze it.

"You two got together to show me what professionalism means! I just think this is delicious, and that is delicious too. If you ask me why they are delicious, I will say it is because they are made in a restaurant!"

Su Yuchen made some jokes and the three of them laughed again.

"In fact, fusion cuisine is not only a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisines. There are so many cuisines in our own country, and we also have fusion cuisine. I went to Jiangcheng before and ate at a restaurant there. That restaurant combined Cantonese cuisine and Hubei cuisine, and it was quite good." Guo Gaoang introduced with great enthusiasm.

"Why is it good? Tell me more about it."

Zhao Xiaojing asked with great interest. Although Su Yuchen on the side was not interested in cooking, he listened with great interest as if it were a popular science lecture.

Seeing this, Guo Gaoang also became interested in chatting and started talking in a sharp manner.

It turned out that this was a restaurant that Guo Gaoang had made a special trip to eat before, and what he was talking about was the restaurant's signature dish, ice skin chicken.

This restaurant was originally an authentic Cantonese restaurant. The owner himself is an authentic Cantonese chef, and from the beginning he took the route of an authentic Cantonese restaurant.

Business was good when it first opened, and we promoted it vigorously. There were always people coming to try new things and taste authentic Cantonese cuisine.

But after a period of time, Cantonese restaurants began to fail to adapt to the local climate in Jiangcheng.

People in Jiangcheng have strong tastes and can accept all kinds of tastes, especially spicy ones. But Cantonese cuisine emphasizes the original flavor and the freshness of the ingredients themselves.

The first dish that comes to mind is the boss’s specialty, boiled chicken, which is also a famous Cantonese dish.

There is a saying in Guangdong Province, "No chicken, no feast." This white-cut chicken is not only a delicacy, but also a long-standing cultural heritage.

The ingredients of poached chicken are carefully selected. No seasoning is added when it is boiled in water. What you eat is the fragrance and tender taste of the chicken itself. The cooking time is also just right. The chicken must be cooked until it is cooked through with blood in the bones. One degree more or less will not do.

But after arriving in Jiangcheng, the people of Jiangcheng couldn't get used to it. They always felt that the chicken was bland and undercooked. After eating it once, they would never eat it again. So the boss tried to adapt to the local customs and cooked the white-cut chicken to a doneness acceptable to the people of Jiangcheng, and added more ingredients. But then the problem came again. The few loyal fans of Cantonese cuisine in the store began to feel that the white-cut chicken was not authentic, too old, and too strong...

Neither persistence nor change goes smoothly, so the boss is caught in a dilemma.

The boss suddenly found inspiration when he remembered that there is a niche white-cut chicken in Guangdong Province, which needs to be cooked and then refrigerated. After careful research, this new dish, ice-skin chicken, which is made according to the tastes of people in Guangdong Province and Jiangcheng, was finally launched, which completely solved the problem.

This ice-skin chicken is cooked the same way as white-cut chicken, but the skin becomes crispy after being chilled, and the meat is more delicate and firm. After being chilled, the blood in the bones is also coagulated. In this way, it is easier for Jiangcheng people to accept it visually and tastefully, and people who like authentic Cantonese cuisine will not feel old-fashioned.

After being soaked in two broths, the chicken tastes more fragrant. People in Jiangcheng no longer find it bland, and people in Guangdong province also find the chicken more tender and smooth.

Since then, this fusion restaurant has become famous, and more and more fusion dishes have been innovated...

"I've really broadened my horizons today. There's a huge world in the field of cooking. Everything you can think of and even can't be imagined has already been done by others. It's true that knowledge gained from books is shallow. Comb, when we go to Jiangcheng, let's visit restaurants often, maybe once a month or once every two weeks? How about that?" Zhao Xiaojing had listened to the pros and cons of various delicacies for a whole night, and her face was now full of longing.

"Okay, if you want to go, let's go." Su Yuchen agreed readily.

"Student Zhao, different restaurants do have different expertise in cooking, but taking the fried skewers for example, the taste of yours is definitely the best I've ever eaten. You can actually consider saving money and opening a restaurant.

Oh, and your milk ice and today's drinks are absolutely amazing.

After you open a shop, you can standardize some processes, hire people to do the work, and take charge of the important parts yourself. This way, even if more and more people buy, you won’t be in short supply like you are doing now with your stall.”

Guo Gaoang gave some suggestions.

"It is indeed more feasible." Zhao Xiaojing nodded and began to think seriously.

After paying off your debts, you can start to think about your own affairs.

Save money first, and then consider opening a small store, hiring one or two people, and continue to expand the business...

[Ding~Main quest dispatch]

[Main mission: Take root in Jiangcheng and open your own restaurant. ]

As soon as my thoughts spread, the system immediately assigned me a task, which turned out to be another main task.

Zhao Xiaojing took it with a smile, feeling that the system was really a worm in her stomach.

However, the 8 yuan debt has not been paid off yet, so it is still too far to talk about opening a store. Not to mention the rent, water, electricity, and decoration, which require a lot of money, Jiangcheng is still a strange city for her, and it will take some time to slowly understand it...
