Chapter 193 The Unlucky Fatty
They were looking for waiters, and the only requirement was healthy and hardworking people. There weren't too many requirements, and Zhao Xiaojing had a good impression of Wu Kaile.
There was no need to discuss this matter with Su Yuchen, because the two of them had already decided to hire waiters and had no disagreement on what kind of people to hire.
But she still had to ask Ouyang Yidan about this matter. Only after Ouyang Yidan nodded could she recruit Wu Kaile.
After all, he is her classmate and a suspected suitor. If she rejects him, it will be inconvenient for them to work under the same roof.
After all, Wu Kaile came here for Ouyang Yidan. If she was unwilling and forced them to work together, the staff environment in the restaurant would become complicated.
How can we expect a waitress who is in a bad mood all day to work well in the store? And everything should be based on first come first served. Ouyang Yidan is quite cute, and we have become familiar with each other in these few days. We should give her some face.
After such a delay, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. After Wu Kaile left, Zhao Xiaojing called Gu Shanfeng directly.
"Xiao Zhao, what's the matter? You don't want to return the goods so soon?" Gu Shanfeng answered the phone after a while. Zhao Xiaojing was stunned when he opened his mouth.
"Return goods? What goods?"
"Isn't Yun going to your place to work today? Aren't you calling about him?" Gu Shanfeng said slowly.
Zhao Xiaojing then realized that the "goods" was Yun Yongyuan, and she laughed a few times and hurriedly explained. "No, no. Senior Brother Yun is very good, and Master Gu trained him so well, how could I let him go so easily.
I have some professional questions to ask you. "
"Haha, that Yun kid is not bad. He has lived up to my nearly five years of teaching him." Gu Shanfeng said happily, his voice even brighter. "What's the problem? Tell me."
Zhao Xiaojing described the problem, and Gu Shanfeng paused and thought for a while.
"Well, wait for an hour. I'll go to the restaurant and ask the chef to tell you that professional matters should be handled by professionals. Your question is too detailed and I've never done it before."
An hour later, Gu Shanfeng called as promised. The person who spoke was the pastry chef of the restaurant. Zhao Xiaojing repeated the question again.
"The dough is not tough enough. Only when the dough is tough can it not break and can it be stretched. If it is not stretchable, it will be like this." The pastry chef came to the conclusion immediately. "How do you make the dough? Let me hear you tell me."
When Zhao Xiaojing heard that there was a chance, she hurriedly described the production process, test results, and taste in detail.
“I learned how to make this soup dumpling when I was a culinary student, but I haven’t made it for more than ten years, so I can only give you a general idea.
The dough is not easy to make, and it is difficult for laymen to figure it out. First of all, it must be thin. When rolling the dough, you have to make it thick in the middle and thin around the edges. The middle should be able to hold the filling, and the edges should be thin enough to look fragile when steamed. You need to practice more to get the feel.
Secondly, it has to be tough. Only when the dough is tough enough can it hold the soup. The reason why the dough broke after you made it several times is that it is not tough enough. From what I heard from your process, the dough resting time is too short.
It is not enough to let the dough rest for half an hour. The dough will not be tough enough and will leak out easily when the dough is rolled out too thin. You should let the dough rest for at least two hours so that the dough will be stronger and more elastic.
Another thing is that when you knead the dough, don’t you roll it into long strips and cut it into pieces? If you are afraid that it will break, you can beat it a few times, which can also increase the gluten content of the dough.
The third one is the problem you mentioned about the dough becoming hard after it cools down. Did you use cold water to knead the dough?
Although the dough made by kneading it with pure cold water does taste chewier, it becomes hard when it cools down a bit, and the taste is even worse!
If you want it to be chewy yet soft, you can mix half of the flour with cold water and salt, and blanch the other half with boiling water and then mix them together.
If that doesn't work, adjust the ratio of boiled water to cold water and flour, or the water temperature. You have to try it yourself for a more precise ratio."
Master Bai explained the key points in no time. Although she still had to experiment with the specific details herself, at least she had a direction to work towards, and Zhao Xiaojing thanked him repeatedly.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaojing went straight to the kitchen to talk to Su Yuchen. It was already time to prepare dinner. Su Yuchen and Yun Yongyuan had already arrived at the restaurant. Seeing Zhao Xiaojing calling, they went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
When Zhao Xiaojing told Su Yuchen about Wu Kaile, she burst into laughter and became extremely curious about this shy and burly man. As soon as Ouyang Yidan came to work, Su Yuchen couldn't wait to pull her to the kitchen.
"Poor fat guy, he told me this afternoon, just admit it!
No, he just wanted to work in a place where he knew people. He asked other students about this, but the job I found was the one that suited his style the most! In his last job, he could sit still all the time, but in this job, he can eat delicious food every day!
Fatty, lazy and greedy, that's normal!" Ouyang Yidan waved her hand rather casually, not caring at all about what Zhao Xiaojing said about Wu Kaile coming specially to work with her.
Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen looked at each other, and for a moment, all the words they had prepared to comfort Ouyang Yidan were stuck in their mouths.
"Why call him the unlucky fat guy?" Su Yuchen asked after a moment of silence.
"Because he is just an unlucky fat guy. Don't be fooled by his tall and strong appearance, he is actually a very timid person!
Several of us went to the haunted house together. We had to enter in a team of six. The two kids saw him and insisted on joining us. As a result, he didn't dare to open his eyes the whole time. The three of us scared him, but he hid behind the kids, like an ostrich, and confused the kids! "Ouyang Yidan laughed as he spoke, holding Su Yuchen's shoulders and laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.
Su Yuchen was also amused and turned to shrug at Zhao Xiaojing.
He is indeed an unlucky fat guy. He chased people all the way here, but ended up looking like this in the eyes of the girl. It seems that this class is destined to be in vain.
After obtaining Ouyang Yidan's consent, Zhao Xiaojing immediately called Wu Kaile back, informed him to apply for a health certificate according to the procedure, and set his working time to the next morning.
At dinner time, after Lu Hongwen added Zhao Xiaojing's new menu and large and small portions on the takeaway mini program, he posted advertisements in the sweet soup group, pork trotter rice, and community group.
The members of these groups are all old customers. They had already posted advertisements when the store opened. Some students have now become regular customers of the store, but others can only come to eat occasionally due to the long distance and heavy schoolwork. Now that they have seen the emergence of a food delivery platform, they have taken action to support it.
As Zhao Xiaojing prepared Wen Jin's 33 orders, the mobile phone order announcement on the front desk started to ring non-stop.
"Your store has new takeout orders, please process them promptly."
"Your store has new takeout orders, please process them promptly."
"Your store has new takeout orders, please process them promptly."
