Chapter 141 The Secret of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall
"Senior Sister, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall." Just as Zhao Xiaojing was staring at the family photo in a daze, a voice sounded from behind.
Zhao Xiaojing looked back and saw that it was Wan Yuyue, who was assigned to the steaming and baking area, who was pushing a basket of killed Australian lobsters passing by her.
"I saw you were quite interested yesterday, hehe. Did you see? The second chef is doing it." Wan Yuyue raised her chin towards the chef in the stewing area.
"Okay, I got it. Go get busy." Zhao Xiaojing turned her head and smiled at her, then began to pay attention to the master's movements.
Thanks to the constant temperature fryer, she only needs to set the temperature and time, wait for the two baskets to be fried, take them out and put two new baskets of ingredients in. Therefore, she can take a break from her busy schedule and also have time to watch other chefs cook.
Just now she saw the chef putting things into a big soup bucket. She thought he was cooking some kind of soup, but it turned out he was making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Zhao Xiaojing watched the chef's movements carefully, but after watching for a long time, he just watched the time and added new ingredients into the bucket from time to time, while also taking care of several stewing soups nearby. He did not make any unnecessary movements until all of Zhao Xiaojing's ingredients were fried and pushed back into the pot.
After returning to the stove, Zhao Xiaojing didn't care about anything else. She took the big iron pot and cooked the garlic-flavored spare ribs, secret fan bones, and crispy duck one by one. Then she turned around to wash the pot and stir-fried the vegetables that the cook had put aside.
By the time the last spoonful of vegetables was scooped out of the pot and pushed away by the cook to be served on a plate, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that Zhao Xiaojing had been thinking about had already been portioned out and was being pushed away by the waiter to be served.
Zhao Xiaojing was full of questions. She had heard of this dish many times and knew that the preparation was very complicated and not even ordinary small restaurants could make it. However, she didn't see the trick at all. The whole time she only saw the chef controlling the time to put the ingredients into the pot. Could the trick be in the soup?
It was not until the hard work in the kitchen came to an end and all the dishes for the 240 banquet tables were prepared and several kitchen workers began to clean up that Gu Shanfeng, who was drinking tea from a cup, solved Zhao Xiaojing's puzzle.
"Well, of course you can't tell what the dish is now, and it's not that good looking.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, to put it simply, is golden soup with seafood, and the focus is all on the soup. The soup is cooked in advance, and chicken legs, duck legs, chicken feet, pig trotters, bones, pig skin, and ham are added.
Put these things in and stew for at least seven or eight hours. The stewing order of each ingredient is different. After stewing, they all need to be crushed and filtered to allow the essence of the meat and collagen to enter the soup.
Then add pumpkin puree until it reaches a golden, thick and gelatinous state, and the soup is complete.
The chef has to prepare this in advance. When you come to see it at noon, the soup is already ready. All that is left is to simmer the seafood over low heat. Of course, you can't tell what it is, haha." When talking about the signature dish, Gu Shanfeng danced with joy and gave Zhao Xiaojing a scientific explanation. He was very happy.
Zhao Xiaojing listened in fascination, and then she suddenly realized.
At 1:30 p.m., just as the last table of guests in the hall left, the system prompt sounded.
【ding~】
[Random task: In the banquets you participate in, the clean-up rate of dishes produced by the chef should reach more than 65% (excluding packaged leftovers).]
[Disc rate 71.5%, mission completed]
[Congratulations on getting system coins x500, cash x3000! ]
The mission was completed relatively smoothly, and I did learn a lot from this trip, but it was really tiring.
This was Zhao Xiaojing's first time to participate in the preparation of a banquet with hundreds of tables. There were 240 people at each table, assuming 10 people, so the work intensity was extremely high. Even though she was physically stronger than an average person, she felt that her waist was a little sore after working non-stop for four hours.
After lunch, Gu Shanfeng paid Zhao Xiaojing 2000 yuan directly into her account. Together with the 3000 yuan given by the system, she earned 5000 yuan in half a day. She was very happy and felt that the hard work was worth it.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Xiaojing returned to the kitchen.
Su Yuchen was not around and she could not handle it all by herself. She had already told the neighbors that the sale of pork trotter rice would be suspended for the next seven days, but the sweet soup still had to be made quickly.
On the 11th day of the 11th month, Lu Hongwen did not rest like other students. Instead, he was very motivated and asked Zhao Xiaojing to make more sweet soups as much as possible. He said that there would be more people at the night market during the Golden Week and he had to hurry to make money.
After Zhao Xiaojing returned to the kitchen, she looked around and saw that there was no one around. She directly used the system shortcut module to process the ingredients with one click.
After that, it was another busy period, making sauce with the fruit pieces processed by the system, and making taro balls, rice balls, pandanus powder and a series of other small ingredients.
Fortunately, the quick module really saved a lot of time. When Zhao Xiaojing had finished everything, she heard the sound of the key opening the kitchen door.
Now the sugar water truck no longer needs to be sent to the night market, but Lu Hongwen can pick it up himself.
Some time ago, Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen were often too busy to take care of the pork trotter rice, so they gave Lv Hongwen a kitchen key. After the two made the sweet soup, they put it directly into the freezer of the sweet soup cart. Then Lv Hongwen came around in the afternoon and rode away by himself. In the evening, Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen went home directly after they were done, and Lv Hongwen rode back to put away the stall after selling the sweet soup.
The kitchen happened to be in a suitable location, not far from the school and the night market, and closer than if Lu Hongwen went directly to the night market, so both parties were happy to save trouble.
Moreover, Lu Hongwen is very careful. Every night when he comes to set up the stall, he will clean all the small seasoning buckets, food boxes, spoons and other tools.
When Lu Hongwen opened the door, he saw the sweet soup cart at a glance. The full of small condiments made him both surprised and astonished.
"Sister, you have to have 700 servings, right? Didn't Sister Comb go back home? You've been making this in the kitchen all day?
I am asking you to do as much as possible, but don't be too tired, just do it moderately." Lu Hongwen grinned, looking very embarrassed.
"About 750 copies, enough for you to sell well. We have machines to help us now, don't worry, I won't be tired." Zhao Xiaojing waved her hand and pointed at the processing machine placed aside to hide it from others with a relaxed look.
Today she used the quick module to get the ingredients for 750 servings, just in time to wait for Lu Hongwen to sell out and then check the module error based on the quantity.
"That's fine, haha. Just don't let my obsession with making money drag you down." Lu Hongwen smiled and scratched his head, then paused and spoke again.
"Sister, I want to discuss something with you."
"Huh? You say."
"Now that the sales of sugar water have increased, I don't think I will have to worry about my living expenses. But there are too many people recently, and I am a bit overwhelmed.
I was thinking, can I hire another part-time job in my own name...
You don't have to pay. I want to hire a student directly, and the salary will be a little higher than the normal part-time salary. Just come three hours a day, and I will pay you directly when the time comes. You don't have to come forward."
Lu Hongwen felt a little embarrassed and looked at Zhao Xiaojing with a little trepidation.
"You mean that you invite us in the name of your boss, and Suozi and I won't show up, so he won't know that you have a boss behind you, right?" Zhao Xiaojing immediately understood what Lu Hongwen meant.
