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

Chapter 57 Fish cakes that make your mouth water just by hearing how to make them

"Old man, please come in."

Lu Yongliang did not dare to push the door in a hurry, but Zhang Li pushed it open.

Inside the door is not a kitchen, but a very common employee canteen. Because Shang Mingke and his party were to be received, after the canteen was cleaned, only a round table was left in the middle.

The table was empty, which suited Lu Yongliang's taste.

To truly entertain people, you must cook and eat food freshly. This is a very basic quality for a chef, but it is particularly precious in this era.

Lu Yongliang looked at the two people in the cafeteria as soon as he entered the door, and ran directly to Aunt Fang without the slightest hesitation.

"Hello! I'm Lu Yongliang. I just saw your video on my phone and came here to visit. I hope I won't disturb you." Lu Yongliang spoke in a very polite tone.

Aunt Fang looked at the other person's outstretched right hand and turned to look at Su Chen in confusion.

Boss, please speak!

What the hell is going on!
  Isn't this a VIP? Why do you want to shake my hand? I'm just a cleaner!
  "Hello to you too." Auntie shook hands with Lu Yongliang dully, "Would you like to eat?"

"Eat! Eat!" Lu Yongliang thought of what he heard outside the door just now.

If I don’t want to eat this, you’re not allowed to hit me in the mouth with a rolling pin?
  Moreover, it would be unjustifiable if the chef didn’t show respect for the Hubei dishes that the master had worked so hard to prepare.

But what really shocked Lu Yongliang was that a master of traditional Hubei cuisine skills was actually a woman!
  It’s not that it’s discriminatory against women, but that in this industry of cooking, you have to play with fire and swords and guns every day. It’s true that there are more men, and most of the accomplished chefs are male chefs.

Aunt Fang said, "Boss, they are going to eat again."

Su Chen waved his hand to signal his aunt to stop talking.

Although these people have nothing to do with the delicious food, they are still Xinghui's VIPs, so it would not be good if they were neglected.

"Sir, please take a seat first." Su Chen stood up, "I wonder if the VIPs accompanying you can have a meal?"

Lu Yongliang shook his head and talked to Su Chen, but his eyes kept falling on Aunt Fang, which made Aunt Fang feel a little uncomfortable.

"They young people are busy with their business, you are the boss here, right? Not bad, not bad!"

Su Chen thought for a while and insisted, "It would be better to ask this assistant to inquire."

The dishes prepared this time are all according to the five distinguished guests.

Take this fish cake meatball dish for example. The fish cake made from two pounds of catfish can be cut into a hundred pieces and divided into bowls, which is exactly five bowls.

This was also the reason why Su Chen was a little depressed after learning that the other party had become six people.

It would be ridiculous to eat alone now.

Of course, it's not impossible if the other party strongly demands it, but it's always right to ask.

"Okay, okay." Lu Yongliang waved his hand impatiently. He had no patience for such an ordinary boss, "Don't ask, I went over to call Xiaoke. Even if Mr. Shang came to eat, he said I asked him to come to eat. .hurry up!"

Zhang Li yelled in panic and ran out of the cafeteria.

Lu Yongliang stood up again, "Master, how about we do it first? I have a humble request, that is, can I watch you while you do it?"

Aunt Fang looked at Su Chen for help, "How about I sweep the floor?"

"Go."

Su Chen was a little funny, but also a little surprised.

Although the person in front of me didn't know who he was, he came to visit after watching the video. Could it be that he saw the video He Shuting shot just now?

That was quite a coincidence.

Aunt Fang walked out of the cafeteria with a broom in hand, which shocked the old man.

Who is this boss?

Is a master with that kind of skill also responsible for cleaning?

Seeing Lu Yongliang's look, Su Chen felt happy, "Old sir, that was the cleaning lady in the company just now. If you and your friends can have dinner, I will prepare it right away."

"What?" Lu Yongliang was dumbfounded again, "You mean, the person you see in my video is you?" Su Chen nodded, "If you saw the video shot by our company, it was indeed me. "

"You mean, that fish cake meatball is the dish you prepared?" He still didn't believe it.

"Yes."

Lu Yongliang stood there, not knowing what he was feeling for a moment. It took less than half an hour to enter this company.

His mood was almost never calm, and was fluctuating violently every minute and every second.

No, you are a company boss, what kind of kitchen do you work in?

Forget about going to the kitchen, why is the cleaning lady using a rolling pin to yell at people?

Is the relationship between your company’s boss and employees so harmonious?

The most important thing is that the boss in front of him is too young, only in his mid-twenties at most.

Can the technique of handling fish and the strength of chopping fish meat be mastered at such a young age?

When I was his age, I was peeling potatoes in the kitchen!
  Lu Yongliang still didn't give up, "Little brother, can I watch you while you cook?"

Su Chen did not hesitate, "If you don't mind, of course."

After that, he turned around and pushed the door open and walked into the kitchen, with Lu Yongliang following behind.

"I have already processed all the ingredients for the dishes, shall we start now?"

Lu Yongliang saw the cooking table full of pots and bowls. This was not unusual. When he was cooking in the State Guesthouse, it was even more complicated than this.

But the difference is that when cooking in a state hotel, a chef will often assign several helpers, and the simple processing of ingredients does not require the chef to do it himself.

"You prepared this all by yourself?"

"Ah."

Su Chen followed the previously planned steps, and the first dish was to make fish cake balls. Even if all the ingredients were prepared, the preparation of this dish still took a long time.

Seeing that Su Chen had entered the state, Lu Yongliang stopped talking nonsense.

I just stood aside and watched, but one thing I didn't quite understand was why the boss was cooking in a suit?

Are you making videos just to look cool?

Su Chen poured a pot of mushy stuff into a cage covered with wet gauze. The thickness was about an inch and a half. The details of this cage alone made Lu Yongliang nod silently in his heart.

This basket looks very new. It must have been purchased specially for making this dish.

‘This boss is a very particular person! ’

The thickness of one-inch and three-quarter fish cakes is the experience summed up by countless chefs through constant experiments.

As for the fish paste in the basin, Lu Yongliang couldn't help it anymore, "Little brother, can you tell me how you made this fish paste?"

Su Chen didn't shy away from it, "Chop the white fish meat into minced meat, add water, starch, egg white, and salt, and stir for five minutes. Cut the white pork into cubes, add starch, ginger, salt, MSG, and egg white. Knead and stir. Just mix it up."

Lu Yongliang nodded with satisfaction, the production method was very standard.

That’s what ‘fish tastes like meat and meat tastes like fish’.

During the long steaming process, the fat in the diced pork will be continuously stimulated, part of it will be soaked into the fish meat, and part of it will be soaked into the starch.

The loose minced fish meat will also stimulate the fish aroma under high temperature and gradually blend into the interior of the pork.

When Su Chen put the steamer into the cage, Lu Yongliang's eyes began to light up.

This dish needs to be steamed for at least [-] minutes. Just like the very common "Mei Cai Braised Pork", the white meat part will become melt-in-your-mouth after being steamed for a long time.

Because of the presence of starch in these diced pork, the visual appearance will not change much, but as soon as you take it in your mouth,
  hiss!
  Just by imagining it, Lu Yongliang could imagine the melt-in-the-mouth texture. Before he even ate it, the rich aroma of pork and fish seemed to be lingering in his mouth.

If I take one bite of this, I won’t be able to ascend to heaven?
