The boss cooks, and the bankrupt company opens a state banquet restaurant

Chapter 142 National style cakes, preparations

In Su Chen's heart, Ling Shuyu has always been the best employee of the company, there is no doubt about this.

She always appears automatically when Su Chen needs her most, which is wonderful.

"Boss, is there anything wrong with this order?"

When Ling Shuyu asked such a question, Su Chen was not surprised at all.

"Fortunately."

Su Chen stood up and said, "You came just in time. I need you to take someone to buy some things."

Whether it is Chinese or Western style, if all meals want to look good, they must pay attention to the presentation.

"I can't tell you directly what to buy. You come here first."

Su Chen found several similar photos on the Internet, "These pastries need to be plated, and the theme is to highlight the national style and traditional culture."

"I understand." Ling Shuyu took Su Chen's phone and sent the pictures to his WeChat, "Do you want them in three days?"

Su Chen nodded, "It must be done in three days. If possible, it is best to finish it tomorrow. We can check in advance if there are any dissatisfaction points and make adjustments."

"it is good."

After agreeing, Ling Shuyu left.

Su Chen returned to the chair and left these matters to Mr. Ling. He was very relieved. Now there is one more thing that needs to be taken care of.

The main reason for setting the time with the client at three days was for this matter!

Su Chen took his mobile phone and found a group on WeChat. In it were the friends who had been added to each other when the apprentices and nephews left some time ago.

"I hope you can come!"

As a master of Bai An, the Eighth Senior Brother may have mediocre attainments in pastry, but his understanding of flour is definitely a palace-level one!

If he can be around, this pastry making will be even more powerful!

"Eighth senior brother?"

Su Chen tentatively sent a message. It shouldn't be very busy at this time.

Just as Su Chen thought, the other party responded quickly.

[Lao Ba: Uncle Su! ! ! 】

Su Chen shook his head in shame, "Everyone has his own business. It's better for us to call each other brothers."

[Lao Ba: / Bare teeth. Okay, what's wrong, Boss Su? 】

Su Chen thought for a while and sent a voice note directly. The general meaning was that he had recently received a large order and needed the help of Eighth Senior Brother's Bai An skills.

Of course, Su Chen made it very clear that the round trip fare would be reimbursed, and a sum of money would be used as the eighth brother's lost work expenses.

"That's no problem, Boss Su, your business is my business! I'll buy a ticket and try to get to Jingzhou as quickly as possible!"

Su Chen said, "Okay, thank you Eighth Senior Brother. Remember to send me the ticket after you buy it. I will send someone to pick you up when the time comes."

After handling this matter, Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, it’s time to perform on your own!

With his eyes slightly closed, Su Chen appeared in the food practice room.

"Making imperial concubine cake is not difficult. Let's try this snack first."

Before Lao Ba comes, you must at least make all the snacks first. It is more appropriate to discuss the shortcomings with Lao Ba after you find them.

Nowadays, all pastries have very comprehensive recipes online, but they are only the most basic recipes. Just like the recipes synthesized by the system, if you want to make them well, you have to modify them.

"The imperial concubine cake was originally made by the imperial chef of Li Palace specifically for Concubine Yang. The concubine liked it very much, so it got this name."

Su Chen copied the tutorials he learned online without moving.

“Actually, the noodles are always the same, and I always feel like there’s nothing magical about them.”

It's nothing more than mixing flour with fat, sugar, and eggs, and finally baking it.

The same is true for chaise biscuits. After mixing high and low gluten flours, then adding lard and egg white to make the dough, the dough is complete.

The pitted red dates are steamed until soft and pressed into date paste, and the filling is ready.

Su Chen put the red date stuffing into a wrapper and made it into a round cake about five centimeters in diameter, and then dotted it with five red dots, just like the flower pattern on the forehead of a noble concubine.

"This thing looks pretty good."

Put it in the oven and turn it up and down 150°, "Now you just need to wait quietly."

Twenty minutes later, Su Chen opened the oven in anticipation and took out the baking pan.

"What the hell?"

The noodle cakes that were originally as white as jade on the plate suddenly changed their appearance one by one!

The dough no longer looks white, but slightly yellowed, and the smooth surface has turned into pockmarked noodles after twenty minutes of baking.

"Where is this imperial concubine cake? This should be Ruhua cake, right?"

Su Chen held his forehead and smiled silently. When the imperial concubine cake was delivered to the operating table, there was no surprise at all.

[Royal concubine cake: evaluation, C grade]

Su Chen was not surprised by this result. After all, he was a complete newcomer in the pastry field, so it was unusual for him to be able to make highly rated pastries for the first time.

"Keep trying, what else can you do?"

Throwing the edible but not delicious scone directly into the trash can, Su Chen continued to try to make it.

The second production was not so anxious.

'If you want the pie crust to be white, all the ingredients used must be white and flawless, starting with lard.'

There are two possibilities for the crust to turn yellow.

One is that the temperature is too high during baking, and the other is that the raw materials look very white, but they will change during the ripening process.

Just like steamed buns.

The steamed buns looked white but turned yellow when steamed. In Su Chen's hometown, some people called the failed products "military steamed buns."

Su Chen added a 50-50 ratio of high and low-gluten flour to the basin again, and dug out a nest in the center of the flour.

Then mix the lard and egg whites and stir continuously until the mixture is whipped and then mixed with the flour.

"It looks a lot whiter this time."

One of the biggest functions of the food practice room is archiving ingredients!

With this function, Su Chen does not need to repeat the already practiced content over and over again. Just like the step of steaming red dates, he can directly summon the date paste.

After all, there is nothing mysterious about making jujube puree. You only need to put the pitted red dates into a plate and wrap it with a layer of plastic wrap to prevent excessive moisture during steaming.

After half an hour.

Su Chen looked at the chaise cake taken out of the oven. Although the color was much whiter than when it was first made, the skin was still full of pores.

"This pastry will be like this for now."

What Su Chen has to do now is not to perfect what he does, but to roughly go over the process and wait until Lao Ba arrives before making specific improvements.

"Now for the second pastry."

Lotus pastry is definitely the pinnacle of Chinese pastry appearance.

The skilled chef kneads the dough and then puts it into the pan for frying. During the frying process, the dough starts to turn outward from the knife edge, just like a blooming lotus!

'In order to get a closer color, boil water with dragon juice and carrot juice to knead the noodles. '

Su Chen summoned several fruits and vegetables that could be used to knead the dough, and using their juice to knead the dough could change the color of the flour.

Chinese pastries pay attention to nature. All materials are gifts from nature, and no industrial materials will be used.

'This is a purely playful pastry'

Su Chen chose to wear the [Precision Strike] badge before making it. With its bonus, the technique will be more precise.

As Su Chen continued to shuttle between reality and the practice room, time also passed bit by bit.

On the other side, after leaving Su Chen's office, Ling Shuyu immediately started to buy various dishes.

Needless to say, this kind of thing is really not easy to buy, mainly because there are no stores specifically selling these things in the market.

However, nothing can trouble Mr. Ling!

Already having pictures of the pastry after it was formed, Ling Shuyu directly designed several versions of the drawings by himself, and then found a foundry on the Internet that specialized in making props for the film crew.

Although the price is a bit expensive, Ling Shuyu doesn't need to worry about money.

After settling the matter, Ling Shuyu called Zhang Li over.

"Do you remember there was a young man named Wang Rui in the General Office of Xinghui Company?"

Zhang Li nodded and said, "Remember! Last time Wang Rui came here, he ate two thirty-eight meat buns. That's a real treasure!"

Ling Shuyu said, "I remember that this person loves to pretend, and he often talks about words in the company." Zhang Li thought for a while, "That's what happened. Wang Rui seems to be learning Chinese language. I have been there several times. General Office, every time I hear him say that he has no talent or something."

If that were the case, that would be easy.

In addition to purchasing props, Ling Shuyu also had a new idea.

Since the boss requires that the national style and traditional culture must be reflected, how can exquisite pastries and presentation be enough?

National style culture must have poetry!

"Xiao Li, go and contact Wang Rui. Just say that there is an order from Delicious and he needs to write some copywriting. As for the money," Ling Shuyu thought for a moment, "just say, I asked him to write it."

"Okay!" Zhang Li agreed and left the company.

This kind of thing must be discussed in person. Although Mr. Ling no longer works at Xinghui, it is still very useful to return to the company to handle matters in Mr. Ling's name.

The poster was printed at Xinghui's printing department two days ago. When the colleagues there heard that Mr. Ling had something to do, they were very enthusiastic!

It’s even more positive than the arrangements made by my own leader!

In the words of Xinghui employees themselves, for someone as talented as Mr. Ling, she can come back to work at any time if she wants.

Now that I have offended someone, how embarrassing would it be if I came back to the company one day?

At this moment, Xinghui Company, General Office.

Everyone in the office was leaning listlessly on their chairs. Wang Rui took off his black-rimmed glasses.

"If God had not given birth to him, Boss Su, his esophagus would have been like a long night!"

Liu Xia, the warehouse girl, lay half-dead on the table, "When will boss Su's place be renovated? I haven't eaten from his house in the past few days, and I've lost weight!"

"Who says it's not? Have you seen how Sun Er has been pulling him in the cafeteria these days? I really want to slap him twice!"

"That's right. Do you really think that we will starve to death without his grandson's cafeteria? I will starve to death and won't go to eat at noon today!"

"Boss Su's side should be working on it soon, right? It's a municipal government project. I heard that the work is being done around the clock, and no one can account for the delay in the construction period~"

Ever since Meishilai closed its business due to renovations, Xinghui's employees immediately lost their energy. On the contrary, Sun Er from the cafeteria became awesome again.

Taking advantage of the delicious food to decorate, Sun Er worked harder and the food he cooked was not as good as before. He wished he could earn back all the money he had not earned in the past few days!

While we were chatting, a man came into the office.

"Zhang Li? Hey, distinguished guest! Hurry up and sit down!" Wang Rui stood up and pulled up a stool, "Do you know that your old colleagues are hungry recently, so you are here to bring warmth to everyone?"

The short-legged man sat down and said, "That's a nice thought! But I really came to see you for something."

Others did not interrupt and listened to their chat quietly.

Wang Rui asked, "What's going on?"

"Our company has a new order recently, which needs to highlight the national style and traditional culture. Mr. Ling said that he would like you to write some copywriting for us. Otherwise, wouldn't your talent be buried?"

The previous words didn't matter. The last words made Wang Rui feel so comfortable, "Writing copy? No problem, I'll take care of it!"

"There are only three days!"

Wang Rui was stunned, "How can three days be enough? My original copywriting will take at least a week!"

Zhang Li smiled and said, "How long did it take you, the talented Wang, to write some copywriting? Fortunately, Mr. Ling just praised you in the office."

"What are you bragging about?" Wang Rui immediately became interested.

"Anyway, the praise is in vain. I won't say it any more~" Little Short Legs leaned on the chair and waved his hands, "Turns out it was all in vain!"

"No, tell me quickly, what are you bragging about?"

Zhang Li cleared her throat, "Mr. Ling said that Comrade Xiao Wang has some talent, but it's a pity that he can't display it in Xinghui's General Office. It will definitely be no problem to hand over the copywriting to him this time, and he said it in the end~"

The short-legged man looked at Wang Rui with a smile, "He also said that if he came here at Delicious Food, he would be able to show off his strengths. What a pity!"

hiss! ! !

Wang Rui took a sharp breath of air, "Mr. Ling, did you really say that?"

That was none other than Ling Shuyu, the iceberg woman!

When I was at Xinghui, there was an unspoken rule among employees in the design department. If anyone was not scolded by Mr. Ling during work, that person would definitely be the best employee at the end of the year!

If you can avoid being scolded, you are a talented person. If you want to be praised?

That's just nonsense!

"Yeah! I didn't expect Mr. Ling to make mistakes sometimes. Forget it, let me go~"

Wang Rui directly grabbed Zhang Li's arm, "Three days? I can do it in one day, okay? Just bring the product over. I will hand in the paper tonight!"

Zhang Li then snorted with satisfaction, "Then why don't you go to our company when you get off work at noon? Just take a look and you will know."

Wang Rui was already a little confused by the praise. When Zhang Li said this, his eyes lit up, "Go to your company? Do you care about lunch?"

"Whatever, you've already helped with the work, why can't I give you a meal?"

Wang Rui clapped his hands suddenly, "Why don't you get off work at noon? Ask for leave! I'm going to ask for leave now! The matter of Yumei coming to the company is my Wang Rui's business! I'm definitely not doing it for lunch, I just love work! Elbow, I Ask for leave!"

Seeing Wang Rui leave in an angry manner, Liu Xia said tentatively, "Actually, I also have some talent. Zhang Li, look at me."

Another colleague hummed, "I won the first prize in the urban essay competition when I was in elementary school. I can also help with this matter. It's definitely not for free money or anything!"

"And I!"

"Look at me, look at me! Zhang Li, I can do it too, just write a copy, it's a joke!"

Little Short Legs was suddenly surrounded by everyone, waving his hands in fear, "No, no, no! Mr. Ling named Wang Rui to help. If there is a chance in the future, let's cooperate again! It really won't work this time!"

I squeezed out of the crowd and escaped from the general office. I patted my chest with my short legs and breathed a sigh of relief. Isn't this too scary?

However, this matter actually went smoothly beyond expectations.

"It seems that now that I'm out doing business, Boss Su's name is more useful than Mr. Ling's!"

"Well, when you go out to do errands next time, just say that Boss Su asked me to come! Hehe. It works really well."

Within a few minutes, Wang Rui came out of the director's office, "Let's go! I'm going to your company now!"

The two left the Xinghui Building and when they entered the delicious restaurant, Wang Rui suddenly asked a question, "Zhang Li, is your company still hiring?"

"Ah? Do you really want to come to our company?"

Wang Rui pushed up his glasses, "To be honest, I kind of thought about it. But I always feel that you guys are a little distracted every day. What were you doing when I saw you driving that food truck the day before yesterday? Why do you still have to set up a stall at work? ?”

"You're not doing your job properly!" Zhang Li punched him, "You know how to hammer, we call this making money happily! Is it your job to deal with those messy things in the company every day?"

Wang Rui also wanted to make a few quibbles, such as improving himself.

But when I look back, I feel that what Zhang Li said makes perfect sense!

They are happy every day, playing around and making money in just one day, and even make more than themselves!

Looking at myself again, I have to help others write manuscripts and files every day, and also deal with various chores in the company. Going to work every day is as uncomfortable as my life.

'Grandma, I will perform well this time! If possible, I will go to Boss Su and beg him to let me work here! '

With various moods, Wang Rui followed Zhang Li to the office area on the second floor.

Ling Shuyu was sitting inside, "Huh? Are you here now?"

Wang Rui nodded, "I'm going to take leave today."

"Oh." Ling Shuyu lowered his head and looked at his computer, "I'll go back and tell your leader and ask him to record your attendance for you. You come over here first."

"These are some traditional Chinese pastries, and this is the presentation I designed. I plan to make a simple decoration for the guests after they arrive. I need you to write some copy, and then use a brush to write on the banner to make a decoration .”

Wang Rui now suddenly understood why people in the design department complained that Mr. Ling was difficult to maintain, but they were still willing to work with her.

Working with such a leader saves you worry and effort, there is no nonsense at all, and it is simply not too comfortable!

"I understand."

Wang Rui glanced at it and said, "Give me a day, I need to check some information."

Ling Shuyu sent the picture and the name of the pastry to Zhang Li, "Forward it to Wang Rui for me."

Then he continued to keep his head down and busy with his work, and really didn't say a word nonsense.

As for Wang Rui, after getting the information, he said hello to Zhang Li, "Can I use that computer?"

"Okay, you can just work in this room. I'll call you during lunch!"

"Okay!" When it came to eating, Wang Rui felt that he had endless energy!

Under Ling Shuyu's arrangements, everything was in order.

And Su Chen finally went through all the pastry making processes in the practice room.

All the pastries have a C-level rating.

Su Chen touched his chin.

'Just wait for Lao Ba to come and start improving the quality! '

　I’m finally done with the wedding stuff, and I’ll resume normal updates tomorrow.
