Chapter 530: Restaurant Anti-Thundering Guide and Antisocial Teenagers

"Mmmmm~ It's delicious." The smelly-faced young man ate Zhang Tong's fried noodles in big mouthfuls, choked a little, and then took a sip of the curry soup. To be honest, he really didn't expect instant noodles to be so delicious.

Compared with the instant noodles I eat now, the various Shuaifu instant noodles I ate in the past few years are all fun.

"Are you so hungry?" Zhang Tong looked at the boy curiously while drinking the curry soup. Although the taste of this curry soup is not bad, after all, it is just pure instant noodles that come directly from the cooking bag, so the taste is still a bit lacking. But this lack can only be tasted by veteran gourmets like Zhang Tong.

Although modern people, especially those who enjoy a refined life in many cities, highly recommend the use of authentic cooking methods when cooking. Especially stewed soup and the like, it is only delicious if it is stewed with real ingredients. Many people feel that they can taste the taste of real stew and the taste of soup made with seasoning powder.

But in fact, Dongyang had a very interesting experiment in the past few years, that is, experimenting with bonito soup, the most common bonito soup in Dongyang. One is real bonito soup, and the other is bonito soup brewed from bonito soup powder. See if those Japanese can tell which one is real soup and which one is made from soup buns.

Bonito soup is the most widely used base soup in Japanese food, and it is used in almost all Japanese soup dishes. Boiled bonito and land fish are the basic soup base of many ramen shops. Some shops in Japanese chawanmushi use their own soy sauce for the final seasoning. Blended with other ingredients. There is also the most famous street snack in Osaka, octopus balls, in which the batter needs to be made with bonito soup, so that it has a unique umami taste. The same is true for the Okonomiyaki named after Osaka. The batter of the Okonomiyaki is also made from bonito soup.

There is also Japanese miso soup, the most important material of which is bonito besides miso.

Bonito soup is almost a national dish in Japan. The scope of application is wider than that of the bone broth and chicken soup that Chinese people often drink. Almost all Orientals think that they can clearly distinguish which kind of soup is made of real bonito and which is made of soup powder.

The program conducted a random spot check experiment on thousands of Orientals, and the final result is: Among the thousands of Orientals participating in the experiment, only 100% of the experimental population can distinguish between soup powder and real bonito. one. The remaining 99% of the Orientals clearly stated that the soup brewed from the soup stock powder has a more texture, a better taste, and is more like "real" bonito soup.

In fact, it is the same in China, use crab roe paste (not real crab roe, just a kind of seasoning with a thick texture) and senbeisu/powder (another seasoning) plus millet to make porridge, as long as the ratio is matched properly You can make a pot of rich crab porridge. It tastes like that. In the seafood hotel in the capital, a crab roe porridge made with such seasoning can be sold for 180 yuan per pot. If you add a little mutton slices to make crab roe mutton porridge, then It's more like that. This will make a table of diners eat with gusto, only a certain third-rate author sitting in the corner can only see and tremble. (Note)

In fact, many artificially processed foods may taste better than natural ones. After all, the price of food is really expensive now, just like many people think that a bowl of Japanese ramen is more than 30 yuan. However, more than 30 Japanese-style ramen are basically fake tonkotsu soup brewed from Taobao tonkotsu soup. If you really want to cook a pot of tonkotsu soup, the Japanese-style ramen that uses bonito kombu and other materials to make the soup base should not be lower than 80 yuan if you open a shop on the lively streets of Huaihai, otherwise you will lose money.

So in this day and age, unless most Japanese food stores can be opened to a large size, the cost of materials is kept to a very low level. Otherwise, you can only use soup packets for cooking. Even the barbecued pork is not made by myself, but the finished barbecued pork produced by the food factory is purchased directly from Taobao. Even the marinated eggs inside are directly purchased finished products.

Only in this way can the price of a bowl of Japanese pork bone char siew noodles be suppressed within 40 yuan.

The same thing is 58 to 88 yuan a piece of so-called whole (or half) eel eel rice, which must be semi-finished eels from food factories. Because if you buy a river eel in the vegetable market, the price will be about sixty or seventy yuan. If it is freshly grilled eel, the restaurant has to sell it for more than 200 yuan to make money.

So really don’t eat eel rice worth tens of yuan in Japanese food stores. Go to the supermarket to buy semi-finished eel and Japanese-style teriyaki sauce, put the eel in the microwave and turn it to heat it, and then brush it with teriyaki sauce. Then spread over rice. A serving of eel rice bowl, priced at 58 to 68 yuan in a Japanese grocery store, is ready. And the taste is the same as the restaurant, because this eel rice is also done in the restaurant.

There are also, for example, the 39 yuan an eight-inch pizza sold by cheap pizza shops, which are basically frozen semi-finished pizzas. There are also all kinds of fried snacks that more and more stores will start to provide, basically all of them are semi-finished products purchased from Taobao. These things can be made by yourself at home, and the taste is not much different from that of restaurants. If you don't want to fry, these semi-finished fried foods can be directly thrown into the oven to bake, and the taste is also good when baked, which is slightly different from deep-fried.

There are also various snacks in the restaurant. Many restaurants do not actually have a dedicated white case chef. Especially in the so-called star-rated hotels that mainly focus on accommodation, Chinese people talk about ostentation and like to hold banquets in four-star and five-star hotels. These hotels themselves do not focus on catering. In particular, there are fewer masters in Baian, so the dim sum in these hotels are all semi-finished products. If you order food there, you may order a cage of Si Nian brand quick-frozen steamed buns for 68 yuan.

Only a few hotels like the White Swan Restaurant will always have excellent dim sum chefs.

Therefore, people often say that the taste of big restaurants is not as good as that of small restaurants on the street, which is not unreasonable. Because you may spend a lot of money in a big restaurant and eat a bunch of semi-finished cooking bags. Its basic nature is no different from the takeaway cooking bag, but the cooking bag they use is better.

In small street shops, the kitchen is often open, and all customers can directly see the situation in the kitchen. The chef uses a cooking bag to try? I'm afraid it's not the guests who will lift the table and curse.

Big hotels are about ostentation, while small restaurants are about taste. This is a unique way for Chinese restaurants to survive.

Just like Zhang Tong's small shop, there is no exquisite decoration here, and there is no beautiful scenery for girls to check in and take pictures. There is no dish provided to the mobile phone.

There are only exquisite snacks to satisfy the appetite here.

"You eat a lot of instant noodles, right?"

"Well, very much. I have eaten it for several years."

"How many years have you been instant noodles?"

"Well, to be precise, I have eaten fast food such as instant noodles and fried rice for three years."

"Your house is not on fire?"

"um, yes."

"Then don't you eat fried vegetables and fast food?"

"That one is a bit expensive, and instant noodles are the cheapest. A pack of two or three yuan, soaked and eaten directly."

"Oh." Zhang Tong looked at the boy with a smelly face, and suddenly knew why this guy was so resistant to instant noodles. And it's no wonder that his face is stinky, maybe it's not an intentional show of face or something, but because he eats too much instant noodles and is malnourished.

"Are you a power awakener?"

"Yes. I came here to study."

"Parents didn't come."

"Dead long ago. And I'm an adult, eighteen, without a guardian."

"Well, alone. Are you afraid of being bullied when you go out?"

"Heh, I'll kill anyone who dares to bully me!" The young man raised his head and said simply, it was not a joke, nor was it a threat or an act of coercion, it was just a very simple statement.

Note: Seasonings such as crab paste and senbeisu can be directly searched on Taobao, and then stamped for restaurant or catering use.

A bottle of real bald butter costs more than 100 yuan and a bottle of crab paste used in restaurants only costs 20 yuan. It can even be a little cheaper.

This kind of crab paste is boiled with millet porridge. There is no problem in making a so-called crab porridge, and most people can't taste any difference.

Therefore, in seafood restaurants like this, you can't see the ingredients, the original colors. It is completely beaten to death, and it is best not to eat things that cannot see the shape.

It's not that they are unhealthy, but because everyone is likely to buy a cabbage for the price of white jade.
