[Zi Niu Toutiao] Are you envious of those who eat snail powder as a profession?The guy "Pickup" 500 powder shops into a snails fans trial spicy master

Otherwise, the right to investigate legal responsibility

Spicy oil is the finishing touch of snail powder. It can bring the whole bowl of powder to the bright and rosy color of the powder, and fill the diners' appetite. The spicy oil of the snail powder is Mo Tengjie's daily work. He was selected for this post, and he experienced strict assessment: he had eaten more than 500 physical stores and could "blindly test" products that identified at least 10 brands.

Recently, in an interview with the Yangtze Evening News Zi Niu Journalist, Mo Tengjie said that the hotter can be keen to find the slight difference in the taste of different batches of snail powder, thereby ensuring that the product quality is stable. He said that he hoped that he would be a "pepper magician" in the future to help the R & D team adjust the spicy oil ratio and let everyone taste the richer snail powder.

Spicy oil becomes a "unique formula"

Test the hotter

In recent years, various new occupations have continued to appear, but most people may have not heard of the special occupation of "snail powder test spicy master".

The 26 -year -old Mo Tengjie is a snail powder trial spicy master who works in a pre -packaged snail powder production enterprise in Liuzhou, Guangxi. Since the company officially set up this position last November, he has been doing it for nearly a year.

Why do you set up the position of spicy tester? Mo Tengjie told the Yangtze Evening News Zi Niu Journalist that it started to start with the characteristics of pocket snail powder products. Because the rice noodles of the snail powder and the sour bamboo shoots that produce a unique "odor" have now achieved standardized production, the difference between each enterprise is not large, and the important reasons why the flavors of the bag of snail powder have different flavors, or in other words,, or in other words, The "unique formulas" of each family depends mainly on the spicy oil bags and soup bags.

Especially spicy oil, different pepper ratio with different manufacturing processes, can inspire different flavors. Mo Tengjie introduced that they will make "super spicy powder" and "devil powder" made by different spicy peppers, with a "red powder" made of peppers that are not highly used to enhance the color, and then add 12 kinds of spices Late together, and finally produce the spicy oil bags in the bag of snail powder through the process of fried and Qin out.

The problem is that, such as climate, soil and other factors, it will affect the taste of the wine produced by grapes. Even the peppers of the same place and the same variety will be affected by unstable factors such as weather, which will affect the flavor of the hot oil. Therefore, in the previous sales, while their snail powder products were well received, they also encountered comments such as "not spicy" or "too spicy" called spicy oil. In order to strengthen the quality control and maintain the stability of the product taste, the position of the snail powder pink test teacher came into being, and Mo Tengjie became one of the five pilotists for the "only throwing the snail bowl" of the snail powder brand.

He "poured in" 500 snail powder shops

Maybe it is unexpected by many people. As a daily work is to taste spicy oil powder, Mo Tengjie could not eat spicy before.

Mo Tengjie had been a cargo anchor a few years ago, and snail powder was the main product sold at the time. For the live broadcast effect, he needs to eat on -site for the audience while introducing the product. "I ca n’t eat spicy at first, I can only eat a few mouthfuls each time, and I gradually get used to it. There is no problem with a whole bowl of eating." He said with a smile, because he was not afraid of spicy, he could eat it with a large mouth. It was very fragrant and increased live sales.

It is not easy to be a snail fan test hotter. Yang Jiahong, the person in charge of the brand of "only throwing a snail bowl" brand, introduced the company's requirements for the company's hotter. First of all, it is necessary to have worked for more than 3 years in the snail powder industry; second, at least 500 snails or bags of snails are eaten by 500 physical stores, and more than 10 products can be "blindly tested". It ’s good to be a chef or related work, so that it is sensitive to taste. Mo Tengjie said that in order to meet these conditions, as a tester who is named as a job, he "punch" various snail powder shops distributed in the streets of Liuzhou City, and has tasted all the things that can be bought on the Internet almost on the Internet. Bag products. He believes that only by extensive attempts can the tiny difference between various spicy tastes be keenly captured.

It is precisely because of these "rigorous" requirements that although the company wants to choose a few hotter testists internally, it has not been able to find candidates who fully meet the requirements. Yang Jiahong said that the current five testers are all senior members of the company, and even the company's CEO has "ended" in person to hold this position.

The spicy testist is a job with a high degree of sensitivity to taste. In order to protect the taste, Mo Tengjie has been very restrained in drinking at drinking the hotter.

Cook in a white coat in the laboratory

Evaluate snail powder from multi -dimensional degree

At present, Mo Tengjie has at least three days a week to test spicy work. The location of the spicy test engineer is located in the company's laboratory. In addition to the related equipment for spicy testing, there are also many food testing equipment and instruments. Therefore, you need to wear a white laboratory work clothes to enter the room. At the same time, in order to perceive the taste of consumers as much as possible, the hotter test master will adopt the way ordinary people eat powder.

Mo Tengjie is smelling

The first is the raw material test product. This item is relatively simple, mainly to observe, smell, and taste, and make preliminary judgments. The focus is on the next item, the product of spicy oil oil. "It is impossible for consumers to eat spicy oil alone. Therefore, the spicy testists will evaluate the steps according to the situation when they are really eating powder. After the process of continuous exploration and optimization, the standard test process has been formed." Mo Tengjie said Essence

At each test, they will cook four bowls of snail powder in turn, put the same weight of water, powder and ingredients, and use the same cooking firepower and time to ensure that the quality of each bowl is the same. Then put 15 grams, 20 grams, 30 grams, 40 grams of spicy oil, which corresponds to slightly spicy, slightly spicy, medium spicy and spicy, and then stir the whole bowl of powder evenly. There are more powder, ingredients, soup.

Next, the first trial was to drink a small mouthful of soup, and the second trial was to drink soup and eat powder. The third trial was to drink soup, eat powder and eat. After each test, a mouthwash is performed to restore the taste and record your feelings. Even if the air conditioner was turned on in the laboratory, after experiencing these processes, under the continuous stimulation of spicy oil, sweat beads appeared on the forehead of the hotter test.

There was a form in the hands of the hotter test, and Mo Tengjie showed it to the reporter. The reporter saw that this form is spicy, aromatherapy, concentration, color, scoring, and places that need to be improved. Every time the hotter test, the hotter will fill in it one by one.

While the hotter is operating according to the process, he also finds a way to improve the test effect. For example, some people find that using light tea or beer during mouthwash can better "clear" the spicy taste in the mouth, so that the next trial eating can grasp the taste more accurately.

Hope to be a "Pepper Magician"

Assist in developing more new flavors

If the taste of the trial is different from the previous batch of products, the hotter test the cause will find out the reason to help the R & D team adjust the ratio of spicy oil.

Mo Tengjie told reporters that in fact, there are professional instruments to measure spicyness, but he and other hot testists believe that no matter what kind of machines, they cannot replace people's perceptions and cannot reflect the real taste of people. Therefore, they just use the spicy meter as auxiliary, and mainly rely on people's perception to check the product to ensure the stability of the quality of the snail powder.

In addition, the company has also developed a new flavor of snail powder, such as the launch of the turkey sauce flavor, rattan pepper flavor, etc., and there are constant attempts to try the hotter test.

Mo Tengjie told the Yangtze Evening News Zi Niu reporter that "Test the Spicy Test" is an emerging profession after all, and there are still not perfect places, including individuals who have a lot of room for rise. "In the future, I hope to grow into a 'Pepper Magician', and‘ control ’peppers fuse more flavors, bringing everyone a richer taste!" He said.
