When I was a child, I went out to eat and ordered a thick menu. Four wedding balls, stir-fried pork intestines, braised pork and stir-fried kidney flowers, served with steaming white rice, is simply a happy word.
Now young people can have a stir-fry when they go home for the New Year. Usually dinner is almost hot pot, skewers, barbecue, crayfish and fish wrapped in paper, which is the first choice for young people.
Cooking is disappearing quietly, do you feel it? If you don't believe me, look at the hot pot restaurants and barbecue shops in the city now, but there are several authentic cooking chain stores. "Stir-fry", the first cooking method of the Chinese nation, is slowly fading out of the rivers and lakes. How did our "eight major cuisines" lose thousands of dishes to hot pot, barbecue and crayfish?
First, chefs are hard to find.
Basic skills of a qualified chef; 1, cutter 2, feeding technology 3, sizing and pasting technology 4, mastering the temperature 5, seasoning time and quantity 6, thickening and overflow technology 7, scooping and filling technology 8, processing technology of fresh raw materials. Only by mastering these techniques can you become a qualified chef. It often takes years or even more than ten years to master these technologies.
Second, the efficiency is low.
People nowadays pay attention to efficiency. On the contrary, the chef's cooking speed is fixed, so it is difficult to support a large number of customers in the store. A chef can cook about 20 dishes an hour, which is not efficient enough to supply hot restaurants, which is why Chinese restaurants are becoming less and less.
Third, occasion restrictions.
Many chain restaurants will choose to open in large shopping malls, but shopping malls usually have strict fire regulations-no gas and open flames. Many dishes that need to be fried with fire have been kicked out of the menu.
Fourth, the cost is high.
At present, the average salary of chefs in China is 6 100 yuan, while some powerful chefs earn tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan a month, far exceeding the salary of store managers. But now is the era of intelligence and mechanization. Many restaurants have bought automatic cooking robots, which can never stop cooking, and the cooking industry will not change, so many chefs have been fired.
However, the dishes fried by the machine no longer have the feeling of being freshly baked, and the taste is the same, so many people prefer to eat hot pot and barbecue.
Can you still eat delicious stir-fried dishes now? Sweet, salty, hemp, spicy, fresh and so on. I still remember several kinds. It is estimated that only food stalls and small restaurants can still eat these.
