I am a chef in the university cafeteria

Seventh Canteen, in the kitchen.

Jiang Yu had just made a large pot of beef fried rice noodles. Without stopping for a moment, Jiang Yu turned around and went to the side dish room. He took out a few large pieces of pork tenderloin from the fresh-keeping cabinet and washed them in the sink.

After cleaning, drain the water slightly, place it on the eucalyptus board and cut it.

"Boss, don't you want to eat something first?"

Lu Shuwu was holding a large plate of hot and fragrant beef stir-fried noodles. While eating, he stood at the door of the side dish room and poked his head around. His face was full of curiosity and he asked,

"Breakfast is almost over, don't you need to cook now?"

"It's not what I'm cooking right now, it's what I'm going to make for lunch."

Jiang Yu's work didn't stop, he cut the meat pieces "tuk tuk tuk tuk" and said,

"The process of this dish is quite complicated. I'll cut the meat first. If I wait until it's almost noon to start, it might be too late."

When Lu Shuwu heard this, his eyes instantly lit up and he quickly asked: "What kind of dish is it?"

“Sour and sour soup with crispy pork.”

"This, this dish is delicious!"

Lu Shuwu almost drooled when he heard the name of the dish. He quickly raised his sleeves to wipe the corners of his mouth and said with a silly smile,

"The meat is rotten and the soup is delicious. It is sour and appetizing. It is perfect for making rice with rice!"

Short-cut pork in sour soup is a famous dish in Heyu Province, but short-cut pork is widely spread throughout China.

Small crispy pork is not only a special snack in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, but also very common in Zhangjiang, Jingchu, Sichuan, Ningzhou and other places. Moreover, because the eating habits of different places are different, the small crispy pork made

The taste is also different.

But without exception, there is not much difference in the way of making short crispy pork in various places. The most important thing is that it needs to be starched.

The reason why the crispy pork in sour soup is complicated is that you need to make the crispy pork first and then make it into soup.

The short crispy pork itself is a dish, and when it is made into sour soup, the short crispy pork becomes another dish.

The ultimate purpose of why Jiang Yu chose to make this short crispy pork dish in sour soup was simply to practice the basic skills of sautéing the meat.

When it comes to cooking, you can make progress faster only if you learn more and practice more.

He smiled and said: "Since it tastes so good, then you should eat less fried rice noodles and save some space for lunch with short crispy pork rice in sour soup."

"Uh... I think, I think the fried rice noodles with beef are also delicious!"

When Lu Shuwu heard that something was wrong, he quickly took the rice noodles in his hand and ate them.

Now that he has this delicious food, can he still let it escape?

Aren’t you sorry for your reputation as a big foodie?

"..."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. He ignored Lu Shuwu and continued to cut the meat with his head down.

After all the meat was cut, Jiang Yu brought over a clean stainless steel basin, put the meat slices in, and then added minced ginger, salt, and chopped Sichuan peppercorns. After evenly mixing, cover with plastic wrap and put it in the fresh-keeping cabinet to marinate.

The meat slices have to be marinated and flavored before they can be starched and hung in the lake. There is no rush now. Jiang Yu went to the sink and washed his hands, took a dry towel and dried his hands before going out to eat.

Jiang Yu had just eaten to fill his stomach and was about to go back to the kitchen to continue working when Yan Tongtong suddenly ran in and said breathlessly:

"Senior brother, there is an old man who wants to find you!"

"Old man?"

Jiang Yu paused in his steps. In the past few years in school, he didn't seem to know any old people, right?

Could it be that he is the teacher of a certain course of his own?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked to the door and asked as he walked, "Xiaoyan, has he told you who he is?"

Jiang Yu walked a little fast, and Yan Tongtong trotted behind him, stuttering and saying:

"Ah? He, he didn't seem to say anything, he just said he had something important to do with you."

"It's okay, it's okay. You'll know when you see him later."

Having known Yan Tongtong for a long time, Jiang Yu certainly knew that this girl tended to stutter when she was nervous, so he quickly comforted her.

After coming out of the kitchen, Jiang Yu glanced at the cafeteria hall through the window glass, and soon saw an old man in his sixties standing calmly in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking very casual.

He looked around in the cafeteria.

This old man is not as sluggish and lifeless as some older people. His back is straight, his face is red, and he is full of energy. He looks in better condition than many young people.

After opening the door and walking out of the kitchen, Jiang Yu came to the old man in a few steps, looked at him carefully, and greeted with a smile:

"Hello old man, I heard that you have something to do with me?"

"You, are you the owner of this canteen?"

This old man was naturally none other than Jia Dequan, who wanted to join the ranks of "cookers".

While having breakfast in the cafeteria, when he tasted the long-famous Qishitang soup dumplings, he was immediately shocked and determined to become a chef in the cafeteria.

If I work with this cafeteria owner, wouldn't I be able to eat more delicious dishes anytime and anywhere in the future?

Then my life in my later years is so exciting that I feel like I’m going to fly!

Therefore, after breakfast, Jia Dequan did not leave, nor did he immediately go to the kitchen to find the boss. He had also been a chef, so he naturally knew that the kitchen was busy at this time, so how could he have time to take care of himself?

But he was not in a hurry, so he sat in the dining area and waited for a while.

When the breakfast time was over, Jia Dequan stood up slowly, went to the window to find Yan Tongtong, and asked her to help find the boss.

Now, he saw the boss of the cafeteria, but what he never expected was that this boss was so young?!

Simply confused!

He is so young, how can he make such delicious dishes and such delicious soup dumplings?

Did he start learning to cook when he was still in his mother's womb?!

Jiang Yu also saw the surprised expression on Jia Dequan's face, but he didn't care. Most people who saw him for the first time had this expression. He had seen it a lot.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He nodded and said calmly: "Yes, I am the boss of this canteen."

"Then, you cook all the dishes in the cafeteria? So do the soup dumplings?"

"Some of the dishes in the canteen are made by me, and most of them are made by other colleagues. However, the soup dumplings are definitely made by me."

Jiang Yu explained patiently and then said,

"Old man, if you really have something to do with me, you can tell me now. If it's okay..."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked into the kitchen.

The meaning was obvious. If nothing happened, he would go back to the kitchen, where there was still a lot of things waiting for him to do!

"Something's happening, something's really happening!"

Jia Dequan was not stupid, so of course he understood. He was not angry either. He took a deep breath and said with a smile,

"Boss Xiao Jiang, I have eaten several meals in this cafeteria and tasted most of the dishes. I think you still need a chef here."

"Old man, what do you want to say?"

"Look, there are more than a dozen dishes for every meal in the cafeteria, but the taste of the dishes cooked by others is a bit different compared to the dishes you cook!"

Jia Dequan shook his head and continued,

"In fact, you should have discovered it yourself. Almost every meal, the dishes you cook are sold out the fastest. Those students have no choice, so they will buy the dishes cooked by others. Even so, sometimes

There will also be a lot of leftover vegetables.

I think you should find a chef who is at the same level as you, or at least not too different. In this way, the taste of the dishes in your canteen will be greatly improved. Not only will the sales be better, but too many dishes will not be left to cause waste.

,What do you think?"

"What the old man said makes sense."

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and nodded.

In fact, he has considered this problem for a long time, but basically has no solution. How can it be so easy to hire a high-level chef? Not to mention that others may not appreciate a small place like the school cafeteria, even if they like it and are willing to come,

You may not even be able to pay the salary yourself.

Therefore, he can only wait for Lu Shuwu and Qian Liwei's cooking skills to continue to improve in their daily work. He hopes that their cooking skills will get better and better, and the dishes they cook will become more and more delicious.

He took a serious look at the old man, smiled and said,

"But to solve this problem, at present, I don't have the ability. I can only wait and see again later."

"Why bother? Since I raised the problem, of course there is a solution to the problem!"

Jia Dequan burst out laughing and said with a proud face,

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Jia, Jia Dequan. Boss Xiao Jiang can just call me Lao Jia. There is no need to call me old man. I don't feel how old I am."

"Oh, okay, Lao Jia, I wonder if you have anything to teach me?"
