From a barbecue stand to a global gourmet tycoon

Chapter 58 New product launched, grilled fat sausage!Grilled chicken hearts!

——The good pork in Huangzhou is as cheap as dirt.The rich will not eat it, and the poor will not know how to cook it.

At that time, wealthy people only ate mutton, not pork, and ordinary civilians could only eat pork and river fresh seafood.

You can see pork belly once every five days, yellow chicken porridge once every ten days, or sell fish and shrimp everywhere three or four times a day.

It is popular among civilians to eat hand-washing crabs. Wash your hands before eating crabs. After opening the crab shell, grab the crab roe and eat it with your hands. They only eat crab roe and disdain crab meat.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, cooking techniques were already very mature, so people began to focus on animal offal.

The practice of Bianjing stir-fried pork lung recorded in "Tokyo Menghualu":
Smack the lungs of intact animals with their mouths to drain the blood, then soak them in cold water, and repeat this process until the blood is exhausted, and the raw lungs are slowly ripened. Some enzymes in the saliva make the lungs fresher.
When the lungs are crystal clear like jade leaves, shred them, add minced garlic, stir-fry quickly, and remove from the pot.

Chu Hao queued for a long time in front of the old Chen's stall before he bought ten pairs of fresh brains. He was reluctant to leave, so he took some pork lungs with a freshness of 89%, and wanted to take them home for a quick stir-fry.

In Chu Hao's view, there is nothing incomprehensible about eating offal.

Foreigners just do it.

Why do you eat foie gras and caviar, you are tall, but we can’t understand that we eat lamb liver, duck liver, beef liver, and pork liver?
Something is wrong.

There is no distinction between high and low food, but people who eat food have to divide the ingredients into three, six or nine grades according to their own preferences.

After buying the ingredients, Chu Hao drove back in his small three-wheeler. It was still early, so he could concentrate on practicing the recipes today. At the same time, he also posted job recruitment information online.

Compared with electronics factories, most food factories work on long day shifts and generally do not work night shifts. They do not have to work night shifts every three days. The work and rest hours are relatively regular, so the recruitment requirements can be lowered.

Generally speaking, 3000 a month is enough for food and lodging.

The age requirements are not so rigid, and even older workers can be recruited.

For a food factory, the most important thing is the production environment of the factory.

Let's recruit 20 for the first batch.

6 monthly expenses, in addition to this, you need to hire a cafeteria to purchase and handle the food, and you have to go back and calculate an account, how much money will be allocated for public purchases, etc...

When he got home, he found that his mother was taking a nap. Chu Hao didn't bother her when he saw this. He carried the ingredients home by himself, and then processed and cleaned them slowly.

As usual, first get the ingredients for tonight’s stall. During the process, Chu Hao couldn’t help thinking of Qin Jiangyi’s suggestion last night, asking him to expand some new ingredients. One day customers will get tired of eating only fat and lean meat, so Starting today, Chu Hao decided to add some animal offal and sell it.

The first is chicken hearts and pig intestines.

Cut the chicken heart in half and wash it one by one. The cleaning work of animal offal is more careful than that of fresh meat. Home pickling sauce.

Green peppers are also cut into slices for later use.

—— Spring does not eat the liver, summer does not eat the heart, autumn does not eat the lungs, winter does not eat the kidneys.

It is best to eat chicken hearts less in summer, or not to eat them at all. This is because the heart is inflamed. The heart is already very strong in summer. Eating heart-like foods is called adding fuel to the fire.

But now the season has passed summer, and in autumn, when the weather is cool, it can be put up and eaten.

The second is the large intestine. This time Chu Hao didn't buy more offal, because his signature is still fat and lean meat, and he added salt, white vinegar and cornstarch when cleaning it.

Salt has a very good bactericidal effect, while rice vinegar has a very good deodorizing effect. Corn starch is used to absorb impurities and can absorb impurities, mucus, etc. in the pig's large intestine.

Chu Hao turned it over and washed it several times, until the pig's large intestine gradually became clean and white, and the stench could no longer be smelled.

The large intestine needs to be placed in a pot under cold water, and scallions, ginger slices, and flower carvings are added to blanch for about 5 minutes. The specific time depends on the operator's craftsmanship. If the blanching time is too long, the large intestine will become hard and old.

Chu Hao directly added a whole bottle of Huadiao wine, poured it all into the pot, waited for a while, skimmed off the foam on the surface, and finally took it out with water, rinsed it with cold water, cut it into sections, Then add scallions and ginger slices, as well as an appropriate amount of pickling sauce.

After the treatment was done, Chu Hao went to the balcony with several large pots, marinated the vegetables and fat and lean meat as usual, and put the vegetables on skewers first.

At this moment, Jiang Qin came out of the room after hearing the movement in the kitchen, and saw that Chu Hao was making large intestines and chicken hearts, with a surprised face, "Why did you think of buying these things?"

"Let's try it out. Some customers said that they are tired of eating fat and lean meat, so I want to add something else."

Chu Hao said casually. In fact, no one in the group said that he was tired of eating. It's just that Chu Hao wanted to sell some more. Large intestines and chicken hearts used to be very famous and popular ingredients in Chu's barbecue restaurant. He also handled it with ease, without any signs of unfamiliarity.

Seeing this, Jiang Qin went to wash her hands, and also went to the balcony to help with it.

Efficiency is greatly accelerated.

My mother's craftsmanship is much more sophisticated than Chu Hao's. Although Chu Hao's family's craftsmanship is nominally passed on from male to female, but in the hands of my father, he immediately passed it on to his wife after marriage. There is no other reason. , but Jiang Qin is indeed very talented.

She has continuously and quickly mastered the barbecue skills of the Chu family. In the early years, she has continuously improved many barbecue skills, including the use of charcoal, cutting ingredients, and fire control, which are much better than Chu Hao's father.

Otherwise, I would say that my mother is an old man.

After the father passed away, Chu Hao and Chu Yue were still young, and they were both in school. It was the mother who supported the family. However, it is a pity that during that time, the mother's skills declined sharply, probably because of excessive grief. The shops on the Heye Market Street were no longer open, and a small stall was set up instead.

This is much more flexible, so that Jiang Qin can take care of Chu Hao and Chu Yue's life at any time.

For the sake of this family, Jiang Qin gave up a lot. She could have stopped selling barbecue and found a stable job, so that she could take better care of her children and provide a stable source of income for the family.

But Jiang Qin didn't do that.

Instead, she focused on passing down the Chu family's craftsmanship, and handed it over to her after Chu Hao graduated.

It seems that fate is also playing tricks on the Chu family. Since then, my mother has suffered from more and more diseases.

Later, he became sick from overwork and entered the hospital.

Chu Hao looked at his mother who was sitting on the small bench opposite to help him string sticks. Seeing the wrinkles on her face and the neatly combed hair mixed with many white strands, his heart couldn't help but move slightly.

Just work harder!
