My hotel connects the past and present

Chapter 182 The best ingredients [first update]

From the outside, a small food stall is actually not much different from an ordinary canteen. It does not look very big, and its various products are not all displayed on the shelves, but there are several large screens for customers. We search for the ingredients we need.

Nowadays, several old men who often come to Wenjiu's hotel restaurant to taste delicious food came to take a look because they heard that the food stalls have various ingredients.

"You actually have bluefin tuna here? Are there yellowfin tuna too?" An old man in his sixties looked at the tuna pattern on the screen and was very surprised.

"There are tuna, there is this black anchovy here, and there is a 60 cm big flower lobster here." Another old man also said.

"There are so many top-quality seafoods, why don't we buy them? I really want to taste them." said a chubby old man among several old people.

"The key is that we have very sharp tongues but not good skills." The old man with a somewhat rough and ferocious appearance said, "I'm afraid that if we buy these top-quality seafood and go back, we will ruin their taste."

"Then what do you think, we buy it back and process it for the chef at the restaurant?" said the chubby old man.

"Old Zheng, your suggestion is a good one." The ferocious-looking old man happily listened to the chubby old man's suggestion and patted him on the shoulder happily. "When did you become so smart to come up with such a good idea?"

The chubby Lao Tie and Lao Zheng slapped the other party's hand away and said, "We have to ask the chef at the restaurant if they can help with the processing."

"Okay, okay." The ferocious-looking old man nodded with a smile.

It was impossible for the few Lao Tie not to be moved after seeing the top-quality ingredients in the food stall, so when the chubby Lao Tie and Lao Zheng suggested asking the restaurant’s chef to process them, they hurried to the restaurant to ask if they could help. Process food.

"Are you saying that you plan to buy some ingredients from the food stall in our hotel and ask us to process them?" Gao Xi was still a little stunned after hearing the requests of several old men, but he quickly calmed down. .

Because he had met some people at Gao's restaurant before who brought some top-quality ingredients to be processed by the kitchen. Those old men rarely encountered top-quality ingredients and did not trust their own cooking skills, so they went to the chef. Processed by superb chefs.

Now Gao Xi can understand the requests of these old men, but he can't make the decision. He has to ask the restaurant's head chef, Chef He.

"Guys, wait a minute. I'll ask Chef He first if it's okay." Gao Xi said.

"Okay, okay, Chef Gao, you go ask Chef He first, we'll wait." Lao Zheng and the others nodded quickly and asked Gao Xi to quickly go and ask.

Gao Xi looked at the young man who was teaching Chen Jiarong cooking skills on the other side of the huge kitchen. Every time he saw Chef He teaching the kitchen assistants cooking skills, he felt that he was not a twenty-year-old like his appearance. How many years old.

Gao Xi, who already knew the magic of the hotel, also had some doubts about whether He Zui was an "old monster" in a young skin. Otherwise, how could he explain that his cooking skills were so great?

Talent is indeed very important, but Gao Xi is not the kind of person who believes that young people in their twenties can cook better and more exquisitely than experienced chefs in their sixties or seventies.

Therefore, Chef He should be more than just in his twenties.

"They want us to process the ingredients?" He Zui said after hearing Gao Xi's words, "Yes, but the processed ingredients can only be purchased from small food stalls."

Originally, there was no rule in their restaurant that they could help customers process ingredients. Now they can add this service, but it is only for ingredients bought from the hotel's food stalls. He will not help process ingredients bought from other places.

Gao Xi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to them."

Gao Xi went back and replied to Lao Zheng and the others, "Chef He said he can help process the ingredients, but only if they are bought from the food stall in our hotel. Our hotel does not provide this service for ingredients bought from other places. .”

"No problem, no problem." The old men didn't think this condition was harsh at all. After all, they didn't have this service in the first place, but now they have a small vegetable stall, so they were willing to give in and add this service. They couldn't push the envelope.

The most important thing is that they believe in the quality of this hotel, and the quality of the ingredients they sell should be the best, so the chef's willingness to process it must be an affirmation of the ingredients.

After Lao Zheng and the others got the approval of the restaurant chef, they immediately ran to the food stall and bought a large piece of bluefin tuna meat.

One bluefin tuna is relatively large, and several of them couldn't finish hundreds of kilograms of fish, so they only bought a few kilograms of fish.

Of course, when they buy bluefin tuna, they can choose which part of the meat to buy. These old guys know how to eat it, so they chose the best part of the meat, the belly meat.

After buying a few kilograms of bluefin tuna meat, a few old men bought a 60-centimeter-large flower lobster, and then they also bought an Eastern star grouper of about ten kilograms.

After buying these three ingredients, they stopped buying them and took the purchased ingredients to the restaurant to be processed by the chef.

"Tuna, Eastern starfish, flower lobster..." Gao Xi looked at the three ingredients in front of him, then looked at the old men and asked, "How do you plan to eat it?"

"This grouper is best steamed."

"Of course you should eat tuna as sashimi. Sashimi is the best place to enjoy its original flavor."

"Then the flower lobster should also be steamed."

Gao Xi: "..."

"...Actually, you can do this yourself." Gao Xi couldn't help but say.

"No, no, no, Chef Gao, you are a chef yourself, don't you understand? Even simple steaming and simple sashimi are only delicious when made by a chef with superb cooking skills." Lao Zheng said.

"What Chef Gao said, it seems that the food we make ourselves can be as delicious as those made by chefs like you. Only with good cooking skills can the chef bring out their flavor better." said the ferocious-looking Lao Tie.

Gao Xi: "...Okay, I'll talk to Chef He."

Gao Xi took all three ingredients into the kitchen and told He Zui about the requirements of several guests on how to eat these ingredients.

"Steamed and sashimied?" He Zui looked at the ingredients in front of him and felt that those old men were indeed good at eating.

These ingredients are inherently excellent, and simple cooking can bring out their flavors without requiring too complicated methods.

He Zui asked Gao Xi to take action, and then began to process the ingredients. He cleaned the eastern star spot and flower lobster and steamed them in a pot, and then processed the tuna.

He Zui used his own ability to remove some impurities from the tuna, and then sliced ​​it cleanly. Cut the tuna fillets and place them on crushed ice, garnish with some carvings to make them more beautiful, and serve with simple dipping sauces.
