Early the next morning, after breakfast, Li Youran took a look around the store. When he arrived at the corridor of the old store's lobby, he was stopped by a group of old customers.
"Hey, 1 Boss Xiao Li, we are looking for you." A fat old man said to Li Youran.[]
"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Youran heard this and walked away.
"That's right, there's nothing to say about the taste of the buns in your store, but on this hot day, I always feel like I owe something if I eat these buns all the time. Look at this..." The fat old man looked shiny, and here
There was a faint hint of sweat on the forehead in the air-conditioned hall.
"Then go on." Li Youran thought that this was also the case. The steamed buns must be hot to be delicious. Well, Xia Ya, naturally the more he ate, the hotter he got.
"You old boy is really struggling to talk, let me tell you. 1. Boss Xiao Li, your store can consider making some cold noodles or something, which is delicious and cool." The white old man with a dark face said impatiently.
"Yes, eating cold noodles is the most comfortable on a hot day." Many old customers agreed.
"Cold noodles? Walk a hundred meters south, and there is a Zhen Kee Noodle House. I remember there are hot noodles and cold noodles." Li Youran said in confusion.
"Zhen Kee Noodle House, the noodles there are not as good as the ones here. The taste is much worse."
"Yes, the buns you make have soft and fluffy dough, and are full of flavor. If you make noodles, they will be just as good."
Several companions next to the fat old man also actively suggested to Boss Li.
Haha, I really think I can do everything in my store. But the needs of customers still need to be taken into consideration, especially the old customers who came to support me as soon as the store opened. Li Youran thought.
So, he told everyone that he was going to discuss it with the kitchen and try his best to meet everyone's needs.
After saying that, he exited the hall and went directly to find Aunt Qi and his wife.
"I've never made cold noodles. If you make braised noodles or soup noodles, I can handle it." Uncle Qi said awkwardly after hearing Boss Li's request.
"Hey, you just eat it at home, so you can't bring it to the store. In fact, it's very simple. Just ask Chef Liu for advice." Aunt Qi immediately thought of the crux of the problem.
Hey, it’s true, there is such a ready-made chef in the store, and you still ask others. Li Youran secretly felt funny.
He quickly asked Aunt Qi to invite Chef Liu over, and together with Uncle Qi, they discussed the plan of making cold noodles. Once they were ready, he could just try them for himself. In addition, the cold noodles were best made with shredded cucumbers, but special cucumbers
The quantity is too small, you should buy some ordinary organic cucumbers and use them together.
After explaining the matter, Li Youran returned to the office on the second floor. He did not need to participate in the specific matters, just leave them to the people below.
Aunt Qi went to find Liu Senjiang. The Si Fang Restaurant was not open at this time and Chef Liu was taking a rest.
She told Chef Liu that 1 Boss Li wanted to add a new cold noodle product to the bun shop and asked him to come up with a plan.
Chef Liu thought for a while and said that he knew how to make spicy cold noodles in the south, which should be suitable for this situation.
He put on his chef's uniform and went to the kitchen with Aunt Qi.
Most of the waiters in the kitchen were busy steaming buns and making soy milk. But a special space was set aside in the corner, where Uncle Qi and another waiter were rolling out noodles.
At the request of Boss Xiao Li, the bun shop has been making pasta by hand. Although there have been food machinery such as bun machines, dumpling machines, and noodle machines on the market for a long time. Those machines are suitable for mass production, but the pasta produced by hand is far inferior.
The food tastes good. According to Li Youran, the food at Baozi Shop is not cheap, and it must be handmade no matter what to be worthy of customers.
Chef Liu asked someone to prepare some ingredients and a basin of ice water and start making the sauce.
He took a bowl, scooped a few spoonfuls of sesame paste into it, added some rice vinegar and dissolved it until it became a thin paste, then poured some light soy sauce, refined salt, sugar, sesame oil and three spoons of fermented glutinous rice juice, added a small amount of pepper and mixed well.
use.
Aunt Qi also helped by mashing a few cloves of garlic and a small piece of ginger into a paste as required, and put them into the sauce together.
Chef Liu took the wok, put it on the gas stove, lit the fire, and after the pot was hot, he put in a handful of chili peppers and roasted them, took them out and placed them on the chopping board, used a rolling pin to grind the chili peppers into noodles, and put them into the sauce bowl.
.
Then I took another empty bowl, put some chili noodles in it, and poured in the heated cooked oil to make oil chili.
At this point, the sauce is finished.
On the other side, Uncle Zu's noodles have been put into the pot. Put some salt in the pot and stir lightly with chopsticks from time to time to prevent them from sticking. When the noodles are cooked until they are medium-cooked, use a claw to remove them and put them into a basin of ice water to break them up.
Remove again, drain the water and place on a large plate.
Chef Liu poured a spoonful of hot cooked oil on the noodles, stirred them evenly with chopsticks, and left them for about a quarter of an hour.
He took a small bowl, filled half a bowl of noodles, added sauce, chili oil, rice vinegar and some shredded cucumbers, mixed well, and took a bite.
"Okay, let's do this." After Chef Liu finished speaking, he washed his hands and left the kitchen.
Aunt Qi and Uncle Qi also made a bowl each according to the same example. After trying it, they praised it repeatedly.
Uncle Qi thought of business, so he quickly filled another bowl and brought it upstairs to Boss Li to try.
Li Youran looked at the red and green cold noodles, which looked very good, and couldn't help but feel excited.
He took the small bowl, picked it up with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. First, there was a coolness invading his mouth, which was extremely refreshing. Then came the sweet, sour and spicy flavors in sequence, plus the fragrance of cucumber shreds and the strong fragrance of sesame paste.
, mixed into a clear and rich delicacy. The noodles are indeed made of special water and noodles, and taste smooth and elastic.
"It's delicious." He praised, licking up the spicy cold noodles in the small bowl in several consecutive mouthfuls.
"Uncle Qi, go get me another bowl, a bigger one." Li Youran felt like he couldn't stop.
Uncle Qi laughed and went downstairs to get some food for Boss Li.
Yes, quite delicious, Chef Liu's skills are really impeccable.
By the way, we can launch a batch of trial sales at noon to let regular customers try it first. If this spicy cold noodles is paired with ice-cold beer, there is really no better choice in this hot summer. Li Youran thought.
The kitchen received instructions from boss Xiao Li to reduce the supply of steamed buns from the old store today at noon and try out a batch of spicy cold noodles.
Uncle Qi led the workers to work hard, and asked the logistics department to urgently purchase several baskets of organic cucumbers, and finally made the first batch of cold noodles at noon.
In the lobby of the old store, customers heard that the steamed bun shop had launched a new delicacy. Based on past experience, the steamed bun shop's products must be high-quality, so they stopped eating steamed buns and asked to try them one after another.
The spicy cold noodles, tentatively priced at 12 yuan a portion, were brought to the table by the waiter, and the hall suddenly became lively as if it were a festival. The cold noodles had a good aroma, full texture, and the fragrant cold noodles immediately conquered the tastes of all customers, one by one.
I was so excited that I shouted that this is the real delicacy of summer.
