Chapter 244 Authentic or not, opening news(1/2)
"impossible.
"Xiaofan, I have been doing this for decades.
"If the field snail was really more suitable than the stone snail, I would have improved it long ago.
"In fact, stone snails are smaller, but their meat is more tender.
“In recent years, snail noodles have become very popular, and many stores have followed suit, either using random ingredients, for convenience, or not being rigorous enough.
“The requirements for ingredients are even lower, and some chemical additives are even used to replace pure pork and beef bones.
"..."
In the kitchen.
Liu Yusong is cleaning the snails.
There are still quite a few differences in appearance between field snails and stone snails.
He can tell it at a glance.
Then, he explained carefully and advised Ye Xiaofan to adopt his suggestion.
Ye Xiaofan disagreed, "You will understand later."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Liu Yusong softly saying "Hey" from the kitchen.
“Speaking of which, these snails are very big, plump, and have no fishy smell. They are very special.
"Has a special potion been used to remove the smell?"
Liu Yusong was not sure.
Because there are so many weird potions and chemicals these days.
Unscrupulous businessmen don't even have basic moral conscience for money.
Ye Xiaofan smiled heartily, "These snails are indeed different. You are really sharp."
"There is no fishy smell, the taste of snail noodles is not pure enough."
Liu Yusong actually thinks this is a shortcoming.
Ye Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, "I don't quite understand."
"The smell of snail noodles is not only caused by pickled bamboo shoots and pickled beans, but also related to the fishy smell of snails.
“The smell of authentic snail noodles must be somewhere between fragrant and smelly.
"This strange smell is the soul of snail noodles.
“The snails no longer smell fishy, which means that the smell of the finished snail noodles is greatly affected.
"No matter how authentic my Liu family's secret recipe is, the snail noodles made from it cannot be considered authentic."
Liu Yusong let out a long sigh.
I have been making snail noodles every day for ten years.
He was so familiar with the taste of snails that it had become instinctive.
When selecting stone snails, fishy smell is also an important criterion. Too strong or too light fishy smell is not good.
If he could make the decision, he would definitely abandon this snail without hesitation.
Ye Xiaofan pondered for two seconds, "Indeed, after using this kind of snail, the smell is more delicious and sweet.
"But that's a good thing.
"If it loses its authentic smell but the snail noodles are more delicious, then it is not considered authentic. Then I would rather choose delicious food.
“Many people don’t like snail noodles because of its smell.
"I believe that this kind of snail can further expand the audience of snail noodles."
Ye Xiaofan ran to Liuhe to find Liu Yusong.
In fact, it is because the recipes on the Internet are too crude and inferior, and the taste does not reach the ultimate level of snail noodles.
Authentic or not, it doesn't matter.
There was silence in the kitchen.
"Okay, you have the final say." Liu Yusong nodded with difficulty after a long time.
About an hour later.
Add snails, pork bones, beef bones, star anise and other ingredients to the pot and cook.
The mellow aroma of soup gradually filled the kitchen.
"It's so strange, there really is no fishy smell at all...the meat is more tender and cooked faster."
Liu Yusong secretly exclaimed.
The snail soup is mixed with a variety of spices, bones, etc. The taste is so familiar that it cannot be more familiar.
But the soup at the moment made him feel strange and shocked, and he subconsciously agreed with Ye Xiaofan's statement.
at the same time.
"Mr. Liu has arrived in Chujiang?"
Bai Ling'er came to the store not long after. She was very happy and went into the kitchen to say hello to the old man.
Afterwards, Hong Zhilei and Tang Qianqian arrived together.
A few people exchanged pleasantries.
Waited for about half an hour.
Ye Xiaofan went into the kitchen to help bring out the snail noodles.
"Wow, it smells so good... Well, it would be nice if there were no sour bamboo shoots and sour beans. I don't like the sour smell."
The smell is rich in layers, with the soup being fresh and mellow, followed by spicy and sour.
Tang Qianqian took a deep breath and gave some ideas.
"If there are no sour bamboo shoots or sour beans, is it still snail noodles?" After Hong Zhilei finished speaking, he started to slurp the noodles with a slurp, and took another sip of soup, "Absolutely!"
Bai Ling'er was a little surprised and tasted some briefly, "It will taste better than when it was in Liuhe. Sure enough!"
She then quickly realized that there was a subtle difference, and the snail played a key role!
"Haha, I have to admit that these snails given by Xiaofan are different and can make the snail noodles taste even better.
"Tasty is the key. Everything serves the diners' experience."
Liu Yusong took off his apron and looked complicated.
He wanted to take back what he said before.
Ye Xiaofan nodded, "Master Liu, sit down and eat together."
Liu Yusong didn't show any pretense, sitting on one side, "However, the pickled beans and bamboo shoots bought from the supermarket were a bit bad.
"Xiao Fan, Liu Tan Hua Snail Noodles used to cooperate with a small factory in Liuhe for more than ten years, and they specially purchased sour bamboo shoots and sour beans from them."
"Okay, Mr. Liu, you are familiar with me, so please contact me."
Ye Xiaofan also feels that the bagged sour bamboo shoots and sour beans bought in the supermarket are not as good as they taste.
Tang Qianqian devoured the food and ate two bowls in a row.
Because I don’t like sour bamboo shoots and sour beans, I couldn’t even make the second bowl spicy, so I simply poured it on a bowl of snail soup.
Hong Zhilei also ate two bowls, but he didn't resist ingredients like sour beans.
Everyone praised it unanimously.
Even Bai Ling'er gave this snail noodles full marks.
After everyone finished eating, they sat and chatted.
"Xiaofan, 40 yuan a bowl, I think it's a bargain!" Bai Ling'er changed her mind, "This is the only one in the country!"
"According to me, 100 yuan for a bowl is not too much." Tang Qianqian agreed.
Needless to say, Hong Zhilei occasionally spends two to three hundred thousand on a meal, so he doesn't worry about meal money at all.
…
Two days later.
It was Zhang Luoqi who purchased ingredients for pickled bamboo shoots and recruited employees.
In addition to contacting the food suppliers Liu Tanhua Snail Noodles had cooperated with in the past, Liu Yusong also conducted employee interviews.
Ye Xiaofan did not intend to interfere too much in store management and planned to let Liu Yusong take full responsibility.
Despite his age, after working for so many years, his level of store and personnel management is certainly not bad.
The store is in full swing and getting ready.
