From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 165 Different improved formulas (fourth update)

At the Feng family restaurant, Feng Zhengming also learned about Zhao Chaoxing's family situation from Grandpa Feng.

"Speaking of which, Zhao Chaoxing's family's cooking skills can be regarded as learned from our family. Zhao Chaoxing's father worked as a waiter in my family's shop for a period of time."

When Zhang Hongwei heard this, he immediately said: "Grandpa, did his family steal the craftsmanship from our family?"

Feng Zong smiled and waved his hand: "No, Zhao Chaoxing's father was a serious apprentice and learned the art of making meat."

Feng Zhengming asked: "So, Boss Zhao's father and grandpa are brothers?"

Feng Zonggu nodded: "You can say that, but Zhao Chaoxing's method has improved, just like your method of cooking pork, which has also undergone some improvements by your master, it is no longer the original method of the Feng family's restaurant."

Zhang Hongwei asked strangely: "Grandpa, why don't you use the previous method?"

Feng Shengnan immediately said: "Brother Hongwei is so stupid. Of course he feels that the previous method is not delicious enough and needs to be improved to make it more delicious."

Feng Zonggu said: "Now you know that my brother's recipe for making the pork is a recipe that his master improved based on our family's old recipe to make the pork more delicious."

Zhang Hongwei asked: "Grandpa, did they change the way Zhao Chaoxing and his family did it themselves?"

Feng Zonggu nodded: "Yes, he came to me before and wanted my improved recipe. I told him at the time that the new method he had figured out by himself was very good and he did not need to use my recipe. He did not teach me. give him."

Feng Shengnan immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "Grandpa is so smart that he didn't give him the secret recipe."

Feng Zong laughed: "Hahaha, it's not that grandpa is smart. The formula he came to ask for from grandpa was not the formula that our brother Zhengming is using now. The formula that grandpa had in his hand at that time was the recipe that brother Zhengming, master and I worked together. The researched formula is slightly worse than the current formula.”

Shen Rongsen couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the recipe of a handful of pork would have to be changed so many times."

Feng Zong said with a smile: "It's all to make it more delicious."

Duan Sufen said: "The meat in our shop is indeed more delicious."

Shen Rongsen also agreed: "That's right, the meat in our shop doesn't taste very greasy, and it doesn't have a strong seasoning smell. It has more of a meaty aroma, and you will feel a little bit happy after eating it."

Chen Anbang also said: "It's delicious anyway, my brother likes it the most."

Feng Zonggu said: "The delicious meat in the shop now is mostly the result of Master Zhengming's improvements."

Feng Zhengming said: "Master said in the letter that he and his grandfather improved the method together."

Zhang Hongwei suddenly clapped his hands happily and said, "We don't have to be afraid of that Zhao Chaoxing, their food is definitely not as delicious as ours."

Feng Zong smiled and shook his head: "Everyone has their own preference for taste. They all make pork. The fact that Zhao Chaoxing has been able to open a shop on the old street for so long shows that the taste of pork is not bad. I I heard that he also rented a shop at the train station and planned to open a new store at the train station."

Feng Zhengming looked at Grandpa Feng in surprise. He didn't expect Grandpa Feng to be so well-informed.

Shen Rongsen said: "Zhao Chaoxing is really our biggest opponent."

When Feng Zhengming saw Shen Rongsen say this, nervous expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

He smiled and reassured everyone: "Don't worry, grandpa didn't say it. Everyone has their own preferences for taste. We can't ask everyone to like the taste of our meat. If they really all come to buy us At home, I'm afraid we won't be busy at all.

And we don’t have to worry about competition from others, because in addition to the pork, we also have other signature dishes. "

After hearing Feng Zhengming's comforting words, Feng Zonggu nodded and said: "Zhengming is right, everyone, please relax. With Zhengming here, we don't have to worry about others competing, because we will definitely not lose."

When the old man said this, everyone naturally chose to believe in Feng Zhengming's craftsmanship. Next, in the afternoon, Feng Zhengming took Shen Rongsen, Chen Anbang and Zhang Hongwei to prepare in the kitchen.

Feng Zhengming is going to make stir-fries in the evening, so some things still need to be prepared in advance.

While preparing with Feng Zhengming, Shen Rongsen, Chen Anbang and Zhang Hongwei also took the opportunity to learn something.

In particular, Shen Rongsen and Chen Anbang will carefully observe some of Feng Zhengming's actions.

For example, observe how Feng Zhengming prepares some seasonings in advance.

For example, Feng Zhengming will cut onions, ginger, and garlic into different shapes.

Some will be cut into shreds, some will be cut into minced pieces, and some will be cut into large pieces.

Shen Rongsen, Chen Anbang and Zhang Hongwei also discovered that Feng Zhengming would leave the peeled ginger skin, cut green onions, and even the coriander stalks.

Chen Anbang and Zhang Hongwei were both curious, why did Feng Zhengming keep these things that should be thrown away?
  However, Shen Rongsen thought about it carefully and vaguely guessed why he kept these.

Wait until I see Feng Zhengming peel off the ginger skin, peel off the green onion skin and beard, put them into the pot, and use them in the process of blanching some things.

Shen Rongsen was sure that his previous guess was correct.

Zhang Hongwei was surprised when he saw it: "Brother, it turns out that the ginger peel and onion seeds you left behind are just for cooking these things?"

Feng Zhengming nodded: "These things need to be boiled to remove the odor. It is too wasteful to use the whole piece of green onion and ginger. It is just right to use these to peel off the ginger skin and green onion seeds without wasting them."

After looking at it, Shen Rongsen said: "It seems that boss, you must have learned cooking from a master chef. These methods are only used by master chefs in restaurants."

Feng Zhengming laughed: "Hahaha, Brother Shen, these are actually the basics. In other words, this is purely to save materials and not waste onions and ginger."

After finishing all the ingredients that needed to be pre-processed, Feng Zhengming also took the opportunity to teach Chen Anbang and Zhang Hongwei how to prepare them.

“You must pay attention to the posture of holding the knife, not too casually, hold the handle like this, but not too hard or stiff.

You should also stand with your head held high and your chest held high, with your abdomen about a punch's distance from the vegetable dumpling. When cutting like this, you should lower your head and look at the ingredients under your knife edge, but your body should be tall and straight, and your feet should be shoulder-width apart. "

After some guidance from Feng Zhengming, Chen Anbang and Zhang Hongwei were corrected in their stance and sword holding.

Then they asked the two of them to try cutting vegetables, especially Zhang Hongwei.

"Hongwei, don't cut it too fast. You can go slower and cut it one knife at a time. Yes, cut it into pieces first, don't think about shredding it directly."

After Feng Zhengming's guidance, Zhang Hongwei also cut it in style in the back kitchen of the shop.

Feng Zonggu saw his grandson's performance in his eyes, and he was still very pleased. He felt that his grandson should gain some growth after practicing with Feng Zhengming in the shop.

I can’t say how much impact it will have on the child’s future.

At least it can make them realize that life is not easy and they can also master some life skills.
