Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 223 Steak Plating

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at each other, and no one wanted to be the first.

"Girls come first. They do manual labor with us every day. It's hard work."

"The younger ones come first, and the older ones go later."

"It's not like there's nothing left to eat, so just arrange them in this order."

"I'm not hungry yet. I need to eat later, otherwise I can't eat now."

Everyone started to give way to others involuntarily, and took deep breaths involuntarily.

An Qiao smiled and said, "How about this, the hungriest ones go first."

As soon as An Qiao finished speaking, Lixia laughed.

"The one who is the hungriest is the young lady. I just heard her stomach growling."

"Then the young lady comes first."

"Yes, then you can eat first, young lady."

An Qiao..., "Didn't I say to eat first? Who will fry steak for you?"

Lixia thought for a moment and said, "I think I have learned it."

It’s actually not that difficult, you just have to spend time and effort to do each piece carefully, and it can’t be completed in batches.

An Qiao put the first piece on the plate. You know what, putting steak on a ceramic plate, it seemed a little reasonable in its weirdness.

Just at this moment, Qi Tao came back in a hurry.

Lixia immediately smiled, "No need to fight, the hungriest person has already returned."

Everyone laughed together, and An Qiao also laughed. She waved her hand and said, "Qitao, come and have some steak."

Qi Tao stepped forward and said, "Young lady, except for some dust in the soap shop, everything else is fine."

The steak smelled so good, it was a relief that she remembered to talk about the soap shop first.

After bringing over the steak, Qi Tao was first attracted by the strong aroma. "What is this? It smells so good, could it be the beef we bought today?"

An Qiao pointed to the rosemary on the plate and said, "This one smells really good too. I bought it today as well."

An Qiao held the plate and took a deep breath, because there were not so many knives and forks prepared, and there was no condition in ancient times for everyone to have a knife and fork.

These silver, copper and gold need to be reported to the state and cannot be used by individuals.

If you want to make some kind of utensil, with so many requirements, most people would not use these metals.

So Anqiao had to cut the steaks first so that it would be easier to eat.

Qi Tao held the plate and asked while eating, "Young lady, are you going to sell this?"

An Qiao gave her a thumbs up and said, "Steak and wine go well together, and everyone will enjoy it."

Qi Tao said, "It's delicious, but the plate you put on is a bit rough."

Since the restaurant opened, Qi Tao has always been responsible for serving the dishes. Even when more people came in later, Qi Tao was still mostly responsible for this job.

What plate should each dish be served on? It was always her idea.

"Then how can we serve it so that it doesn't look rough?" There are many types of plates in the future world, and many choices. Different patterns and styles are matched with different foods. It seems to have become a fixed format.

Therefore, An Qiao has never made any special innovations and has always been conventional in plating dishes. This is also the reason why she has always been tepid. Although she can be said to be constantly participating, she would never be invited to participate in any international competitions.

The reason is that her plating and food presentation were too rough.

An Qiao believes that the most important thing is that the food tastes good, and whether it is presented on the plate is not that important.

An Qiao really doesn't want to make the same dish cost several times more just because of the presentation.

While An Qiao was cooking the next steak, Qi Tao went into the kitchen, rummaged through the drawers and found a white porcelain plate. There were no special marks on it, but the cracks on it looked very nice.

"Can this look good?" An Qiao couldn't help but question.

Qi Tao looked as if she had handed it over to me. She put the steak that An Qiao had just cooked on top while chewing. She arranged the originally scattered side dishes in an orderly but not rigid manner.

It is indeed much better looking than the original ceramic plate. The ceramic plate was specially bought by Anqiao. It has a lot of rough particles on it. Anqiao said that this has a unique charm, so she likes this plate very much.

"Here, who's this one?" Qi Tao brought the prepared plate to everyone with satisfaction.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but you still don't want to come up.

On weekdays, if everyone eats from the same pot, there won’t be such troubles. After all, everyone can eat, and everyone started it together.

With pieces like this, the atmosphere becomes subtle.

An Qiao saw that they were making excuses and said, "If you don't eat now, it will get cold. The youngest one should come up."

Then Yu Shui was pushed to the front, "Huh? I'm not hungry, everyone can eat first."

"Then you can eat it first, otherwise it will get cold." An Qiao said unhappily.

Yu Shui then took a bite, and the taste of steak instantly filled her entire mouth. "Girl, why is there blood in it? Is it not cooked?"

The rain was a little frightened.

"Of course there will be blood. I fried it to 70% doneness. If it was fully done, it wouldn't taste as good. In fact, it can be fried to medium doneness, but I was afraid your stomach couldn't take it." An Qiao explained and put a new piece of steak into the pan.

As the fish sizzled and oozed with oil, An Qiao explained, "If it's fried until it's fully cooked, the juice inside will be gone, and the original flavor won't be locked in. When you bite it, you won't feel the fragrance filling your mouth."

Everyone looked at An Qiao with admiration. Of course, some people whispered that they didn't dare to eat uncooked or medium-rare food.

An Qiao heard this and said, "Don't even mention medium-rare, there's also medium-rare."

Everyone took a deep breath.

No one wanted to try it this time, and everyone said that it would be fine if it was 70% done.

An Qiao smiled and saw Qi Tao was still rummaging through the boxes, but when she finished frying this piece, Qi Tao had already prepared something, which was a shallow wooden tray.

"It will definitely look good in this." Qi Tao looked at the tray in his hand with satisfaction.

An Qiao raised her eyebrows. Wooden pallets are also used by many people in modern times to carry steaks, and they are indeed very good for cutting.

Logically speaking, ancient people would not have thought of using this thing to hold food. I can't help but feel that Qi Tao does have some talent.

Then she took out a huge stone plate, with different types of beef placed on different plates, which looked particularly pleasing.

"You are indeed quite good. When Lixia and Lidong have learned how to make it, you will be in charge of arranging the dish when we sell it." An Qiao said with satisfaction.

"I am the one who usually serves a lot of dishes." Since Qi Tao received his monthly allowance, he likes to buy different bowls and plates to put at home.

Others asked her why she bought so much and why she didn't save it for a dowry.

She smiled and evaded the question, saying that she couldn't leave her wife and had no intention of getting married.

An Qiao didn't care about her. After all, she also wanted to sell food in a restaurant for the rest of her life.

Everyone had a piece, and An Qiao fried it for a long time.

I was already hungry, and now I'm even hungrier.
