Chapter 915: A Home-Cooked Restaurant on the Verge of Closure (5)
Early the next morning, Zhang Linyu took the bank card given by his father and went out to find the storefront, while Qiao Mu took her son Zhang Xijun to the vegetable market.
It's both grocery shopping.
It was also by the way to teach him how to pick vegetables.
Most chefs actually know how to pick dishes, and if they want to pick, the dishes they pick out will definitely be better than the dishes that ordinary people buy.
But that's all there is to it for the most part.
You can only see which food is fresher, which food is more delicious, and which beef is better and which beef is bad.
Able to pick the best of the worst.
You can't pick the best of the best.
Because it is more difficult to pick the best of the best.
And sometimes the vegetable market may not have a good product.
Naturally, you can't pick a boutique.
"I won't buy other dishes today, I will only teach you to pick two kinds of vegetables, one is green onions, and the other is eggs, you should know how to pick green onions, right?"
Entering the vegetable field, Qiao Mu talked as he walked.
"You know, you have to pick the small ones and the thin ones."
Zhang Xijun still understands this common sense.
"That's right, you have to pick small and thin, green onions are generally divided into three body types, if you count the Northeast green onions, it can probably be divided into four kinds, two are collectively called shallots, and two are collectively called green onions.
You see, there was probably a man over there with a small arm as long as a palm, the thickness of a pencil.
It's the bigger one among the shallots.
It's also more sold on our side.
This kind of shallots have not been very popular in the past, but now because the yield of this kind of green onion is relatively high, most of the shallots on the market are sold like this, but there are very few of the common ones in the past.
It is the kind of shallots that are short and thin, not much thicker than the data cable, the kind of shallots have the strongest fragrance, of course, it can only be said that it is relatively strong, and it will be slightly worse than wild onions in terms of fragrance after all, but now wild onions are difficult to find, so this kind of shallots can also be used improvised. ”
Qiao Mu pointed as he spoke, and then soon saw a shop that sold the smallest kind of shallots, and directly grabbed it and handed it over.
The owner of the vegetable stall opposite put the green onion on the scale, looked up and said, "Three taels, charge you three yuan."
Do you want to come to something else, buy so many green onions, do you want to go back with some ginger and garlic? ”
"No need, I just need green onions!"
Qiao Mu said as he swept three pieces of his mobile phone for him, and then took the green onion.
Continue to walk, and say to Zhang Xijun:
"I just told you about two kinds of shallots, and in addition to those two kinds of shallots, there are two kinds of green onions.
A, uh...... Did you see that?
It's the one over there, much thicker than a human finger, almost catching up with the thickness of more than a hundred grams of that kind of large ham sausage, that kind of green onion is generally as long as an adult's arm, and the shredded green onion used in the usual roast duck with sliced skin is the kind.
The kind of green onion fried mutton is also used for that kind of green onion, the taste of the green onion is relatively large, and the ordinary light and fishy dish is not heavy, you can't use that kind of green onion, if you use that kind of green onion, it will damage the taste.
There is also a real green onion.
We don't have to sell it here.
The main reason is that there are more in Shandong, which is more than one meter high, which is much taller than children.
It's thick, and it's almost catching up with the baby's arm.
The flavor of the green onion is even heavier, and most side dishes are not used except for the ones you like.
Next we went to buy eggs.
This time I bought it from the vegetable farm, and the next time I bought it, I had to find a special farm and set it with them. ”
The two of them walked while talking, and the speed was also very fast, and soon they came to the vegetable market where eggs were sold, and that piece was all selling eggs, eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, pigeon eggs, and quail eggs.
Among them, pigeon eggs and goose eggs are the most expensive, goose eggs are expensive because they are large, because they are not numerous, and pigeon eggs are small but scarce.
And it is said to be highly nutritious.
So the price is also expensive.
"The pheasant's green-shell eggs are the best, but we don't have to sell them here, and the price is too expensive, and we can't even recover the cost with those eggs, so we will choose more ordinary feed eggs this time.
Don't pick something too big, and don't pick something too small.
The size should be relatively moderate, the weight should also be relatively moderate, and the weight should be about one or two as the standard.
The shell can't be too smooth, you must pick the kind of eggshell that is slightly rougher, because the normal egg is rough when it comes down, and the quality of the smooth one will be a little worse, and when you take it, move your hand slightly, shake it, shake it slightly, don't shake it hard, it's best if you don't have a sense of flow, if you have a sense of flow, it's the kind of loose protein I said yesterday is more, not too fresh, you come to pick and see. ”
After Qiao Mu whispered a few words, she asked her son to pick the eggs by himself, as for whether the final selection was good or not, she would check it slowly when she went back.
Check them one by one here.
Not to mention wasting time.
Qiao Mu himself was embarrassed.
Zhang Xijun still knows some tips on the quality of eggs, but in the past, he didn't bother with this at all, and he wholesaled a box or two of eggs back and used them slowly.
Now that his mother has ordered, he naturally quickly squatted down and began to concentrate on picking one by one, trying to pick the eggs that he felt good.
It took almost an hour to pick it up.
He picked out one hundred and twenty eggs that he felt were pretty good, and weighed them and paid for them.
One hundred and twenty eggs, a total of thirteen pounds.
One catty, four pieces eight, wipe sixty-two pieces.
After paying the money, Zhang Xijun carried a bag with Qiao Mu and walked back cautiously, the vegetable market was not far from their store, so naturally there was no need to drive to the vegetable market to buy some eggs.
When he got home, Qiao Mu still took Zhang Xijun to the kitchen and screened the eggs for him one by one again, and finally Qiao Mu screened out sixty-seven of the one hundred and twenty eggs that were not very fresh, but slightly fluid:
"See, the fifty-three on the left should have been born for no more than three days, and the remaining sixty-seven were all born for more than a week, but they should be far less than half a month.
Take one in each hand and weigh it.
Try a few more times and you should be able to experience the difference, this feeling cannot be explained to you directly, you can only rely on your own practice makes perfect.
The methods mentioned in the previous market can only allow you to pick eggs that are not yellow and relatively fresh.
I want to pick a better one.
You have to practice more and weigh more. ”
"Mom, is it so mysterious?
How much difference can there be between three and five days?
Can we not be so particular, I don't expect to become a chef at the state banquet, so I don't need to be so picky. ”
After listening to Qiao Mu's words and carefully weighing the two different eggs on the left and right, Zhang Xijun really couldn't feel any difference between the two sides, so he could only helplessly want to give up such a delicate work.
It's too hard for him.
What is the difference between two eggs?
Obviously, it feels similar, and the difference in weight between the two is estimated to be no more than two or three grams.
