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

Chapter 93 ‘Special Reward’ for Ling Shuyu

Su Chen was only resting on the surface.

In fact, people have already appeared in the food practice room.

What kind of special reward would be better for Ling Shuyu? Girls would prefer weird and flashy things, right?
  When Su Chen laid his eyes on the famous recipe in his inventory, the word pastry popped up on the page!
  Nowadays, almost all cake shops in the streets are Western pastries. Although Chinese pastries have reappeared in the eyes of the world in recent years, there are also several time-honored brands.

But after all, due to the complicated production process and uneven quality, it is difficult to popularize it.

One obvious characteristic of Western-style pastries is that they are heavy in oil, milk, and sugar. In other words, if you add butter sugar to them, they will not taste bad no matter what you make!

Chinese pastries are different. They almost take the production of "noodles" to the extreme. In addition to being beautiful and delicious, Chinese pastries are often mixed with profound meanings.

Just like the recipe Su Chen is looking at.

[Beijing Eight Pieces: Made of lard, water, and flour as the skin, and filled with jujube paste, green plums, raisins, roses, bean paste, white sugar, bananas, and salt and pepper. 】

[Each type of pastry is printed with words that mean good fortune, longevity, wealth, wealth, and other eight happy events in life. 】

After seeing the production method and process, Su Chen shook his head decisively.

"It's too difficult. It's not something I can play at my level."

There are several types of dough alone, such as single crust, double crust, and mille-feuille.
  There are seven or eight kinds of fillings, and the shapes of pastries have different meanings and shapes.

"Change to something simpler."

Su Chen continued to search slowly in the recipes. When it came to cakes, the Beijing and Tianjin styles were definitely the most glorious, but when it came to tea,
  [The secret of Taotaoju, a time-honored brand in Guangdong Province that has stood for hundreds of years: fresh custard snow eggs]

Su Chen continued to read, and after a moment he clapped his hands happily, "It's you!"

First, I looked at how to make snow eggs, and then I summoned the corresponding ingredients and started trying to make them.

Anyway, mutton-shabu-shabu is all about knife skills and ingredients, and it doesn’t require much practice time. Su Chen is going to learn Ling Shuyu’s ‘surprise’ first!

Jingzhou City.

Bai Xiaobo stuffed all the dirty clothes into the washing machine at home. Seeing that it was still early, he was wondering if he should go to the company to have a meal before coming back from get off work?

As soon as I picked up my phone, I saw the WeChat message from my boss.

[Brother Chen: We will be closed tonight, and we will have a celebration banquet. Everything else is ready. When you come, buy some sesame sauce and peanut butter. I'll cook them myself. Oh, by the way, don’t tell other people about buying things, you know. 】

After reading it once, Bai Xiaobo immediately fell into ecstasy.

Spending such a small amount of money, but the boss only told me and didn't let me tell others, it means that he is embarrassed to tell other colleagues, and he treats me as one of his own!

Only you can get this kind of treatment!

He quickly replied: Got it!

I immediately put on new shoes and clothes and ran to the supermarket outside my house, still thinking silently in my mind: peanut butter and sesame butter!
  Likewise, a luxury community.

He Shuting had just finished taking a shower and moved her neck to apply body lotion on herself.

ding dong~
  Pick up the phone and take a look.

[My dear boss: We will be closed tonight, and we will have a celebration banquet. Everything else is ready. When you come here, you can buy some potato vermicelli and sweet potatoes, and I will cook them myself. Oh, by the way, don’t tell other people about buying things, you know. 】

Hey!
  He Shuting rolled on the bed holding her cell phone.

"Damn it! Why should such an important task be given to me! Why don't you let me tell others?"

"Has the boss finally realized that I am the most beautiful person in the company?"

After rolling a few times, He Shuting quickly wiped the body lotion on her body, put on a nice long dress and high-quality silk, and immediately ran to the supermarket.

As expected, Liu Shengnan was video-chatting with her boyfriend at home when he received the message.

"I even brought you a gift when I went to the capital this time~ I'll give it to you next time you come to Jingzhou."

"Wait until I get down and check the news."

[Boss: We will be closed tonight. We will have a celebration banquet. Everything else is ready. When you come, buy some lettuce and I will cook it myself. Oh, by the way, don’t tell other people about buying things, you know. 】

hiss!
  Sister Katsunan took a breath of air.

Are company finances already stretched to this extent?
  Although based on my relationship with my boss, it’s not a big problem to buy a few lettuce from my pocket.

But Liu Shengnan realized a very serious problem.

"We just paid the rent, and the boss used the remaining money to take us to team building, but he didn't spend a dime!"

"Now the company's finances are so tight that they have to hold a celebration party, but he himself doesn't even have the money to buy lettuce."

"Brother Chen! As the company's financial officer, I will definitely not tell anyone else about this! I will buy some more spinach!"

Thinking of this, Liu Shengnan hung up the video with her boyfriend very seriously.

Get up immediately and go to the nearby supermarket to buy groceries.

At the same time, I secretly thought that I must work hard. Where can I find such a boss?
  On the other side, the way meat industry.

After Jiang Yuan received Brother Fang Chang's call, she skipped work for a long time and made a special trip over.

"You are discussing business tonight, why should I follow you?"

Brother Fang Chang sighed, "I went to eat at that delicious restaurant last time. Don't you really like eating his food?"

"That's right!" Jiang Yuan's eyes were filled with laughter, "Then what shall we have for dinner? Lion's head? Wow, the lion's head made by that boss is really delicious. My dad can't wait to try it!"

Brother Fang Chang shook his head, "No. We won't know until after we eat it. Today they mainly want to test the quality of our meat."

Jiang Yuan looked at the lamb hind leg in Fang Chang's hand in confusion, "Taste a hind leg?"

Brother Fang Chang nodded with a dark face.

Then he looked at what he was carrying in the other hand, "What's going on with these shrimps and fish?"

“I bought it for you by the way.”

Jiang Yuan immediately became angry, "What does this boss mean? Are you asking for a gift? How come a hind leg costs more than [-], and these shrimps cost more than [-], so they treat you like a scapegoat?"

Brother Fang Chang hugged Jiang Yuan and told her not to talk about it in the store with so many people watching.

"Okay, okay, this business is going to be negotiated, won't we all earn it back in the future? In business, it's better to be more generous."

But Jiang Yuan was still angry.

Last time, I paid five hundred for two dishes. After all, they were quite delicious, so I tolerated them.

This time we were talking about business, and we talked about giving it a taste, but ended up taking one leg over?
  How can anyone do business like this?
  Brother Fang Chang continued to comfort his girlfriend, "Be good, I know it well. Business requires long-term cooperation. This is just a small amount of money, it's okay!"

Jiang Yuan threw her arms away angrily, "I'm not saying there's more money and less money, I'm angry that they treat you like a scapegoat! How can you do things like this!"

Fang Chang sighed and could only say words to comfort his girlfriend.

Should he say it or not, he was actually quite uncomfortable seeing Su Chen say that today.

But I felt that I was incompetent. I wanted to do the delicious food business but also wanted to have a celebration banquet, so I simply didn’t want to worry about it.

Now that the subject said this, I started to feel uncomfortable again.

That's it!

Let's just take this opportunity for granted. If Boss Su is really not the kind of person worth getting to know, the worst he can do is stop talking about it and not go to his house in the future!

Many years later, when Fang Chang rang the launch bell of Fang's Meat Industry, when faced with reporters' questions, he recalled the scene that summer when he carried the leg of lamb to a delicious meal.

Of course, this is something.

Brother Fang Chang had a good meal to comfort his girlfriend, and finally the two of them drove towards the development zone.

Su Chen, who had been in the practice room for six hours, looked at the frozen eggs placed one by one on the chopping board, which was a little difficult to understand.

‘How did the people of Guangdong come up with the idea of ​​eating this thing? ’

This fresh custard snow egg is not difficult to make, and it tastes quite good, but it looks like this thing.
  Su Chen put away all the snow eggs on the operating table and returned to reality with a thought.

Six hours of practice didn't consume much energy, so I got up and went to the kitchen.

Aunt Fang put down her work and said, "Boss, what are you going to do?"

Su Chen: "We will have a celebration banquet tonight to celebrate the official opening of our small dining table on the second floor. By the way, ask Xiao Bin to come over for dinner."

Because the school also had to make up classes, Xiaobin ended his summer job early.

"He is doing his homework at home. I can just go back and do it for him in the evening." Aunt Fang looked around, "There is nothing in the kitchen. How about I go buy some food?"

Su Chen shook his head, "No need. Auntie, you will go to the canteen later, and then someone will come over to buy vegetables. Don't say anything, just take the vegetables and wash them. Also, from now on, no one can come in the kitchen. !”

"Ah? No one can do it?" Su Chen said, "Yes. No one can do it."

Aunt Fang had an expression that I understood, made an OK gesture and left.

Bringing 12 eggs, Su Chen cleaned them all first, then took a kitchen knife and drew a half-sized circle on the larger end of the eggs!
  "This is really a delicate job."

Even wearing the badge, Su Chen could feel his hands shaking from time to time.

After drawing a concave line into the edge of the circle, Su Chen held the egg and took a deep breath, then leaned over the edge of the cutting board and knocked it gently!
  "Perfect!"

The egg skin at the bottom is split along the cut edge of the small circle, and then the round piece of egg skin is removed, and all the egg liquid inside is poured into the bowl.

"It's so strenuous. I'll probably only do this once in my life!"

This is just the beginning.

Rinse the eggshells with clean water and dry the 12 empty eggshells in the oven at low temperature.

Take out a big vegetable from the small warehouse.

It was called this in the famous recipe. Later, Su Chen checked some information and found out that this dish is Hakka, also called flat dish.

In fact, it is called mustard in Mandarin.

In Chaoshan, there is also something called pig vegetable, because it is usually used to make pickles, it is cheap, and its names are also various.

Clean a large vegetable and use a stainless steel pot to add water and bring to a boil over high heat.

This is a laborious task, and you have to keep cooking the vegetables before you can proceed to the next step.

While waiting, Su Chen lay on the frosted glass in the kitchen and took a look, only to see Aunt Fang washing vegetables in the cafeteria. The vegetables were brought by Liu Shengnan.

Well. In order to prevent them from bumping into each other, Su Chen deliberately put a time difference when sending the message.

I just saw my sister, Shengnan, sitting arrogantly at the big round table in the cafeteria, with her legs crossed.

Su Chen was very satisfied with this and sent a WeChat message: Go to the second floor to verify the fixed assets.

It was better to send Liu Shengnan away first, otherwise he would be suspicious when he saw someone else coming in with something.

I went out and took Aunt Fang's washed vegetables to the kitchen and put them on a plate. Under the fierce cooking there, the vegetables almost became soft and collapsed in no time.

Su Chen pressed it with a spoon to speed up the melting process of the vegetables.

"The point is coming!"

Add a spoonful of sugar to the boiling soup and continue boiling for two minutes. First, scoop out a basin of soup, and then filter the remaining soup with a strainer.

Su Chen heard another movement outside.

It's Bai Xiaobo!

"Auntie! Where's the boss?"

Aunt Fang pointed to the kitchen, "The boss said no one can go in without his approval."

Xiaobai said, "Then I put my things here!"

Peanut butter and tahini.

Su Chen stuck out his head and said, "Xiao Bai, come in."

A hint of surprise flashed across Bai Xiaobo's face. Sure enough, his guess was right. Only by becoming Brother Chen's friend can you get this kind of treatment!
  No one else can enter, but I can.

quack quack!
  Su Chen took apart the sesame paste and peanut butter that Xiaobai bought, "I will teach you a trick today, and you will definitely become the most handsome boy when eating hot pot at home!"

"Really?" Bai Xiaobo opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Yes." Su Chen divided the peanut butter and sesame paste into a basin in a ratio of [-]%, and added a spoonful of salt. "This is the golden ratio for dipping hotpot mutton."

"Then you add a little warm water and start stirring in one direction. When the water is no longer visible, add a little more warm water. Finally, it will become as thick as a water curtain."

Xiaobai was a little puzzled while holding the basin. There was nothing cool about this. Isn't it just mixing sesame sauce?
  He often does it when eating hot pot at home, but he doesn't think it's any great.

However, since the boss didn't say much, Xiaobai had no choice but to take chopsticks and start stirring the sesame paste.

On the other side, Su Chen added some yellow powder, that is, yellow rice noodles, to the vegetable soup that he scooped out for the first time.

Doing almost the same movements as Bai Xiaobo, he stirred the soup with chopsticks and added yellow powder to it. He didn't stop until the soup in the basin was almost solidified.

In another pot of filtered soup, condensed milk and olive oil were added. Stir evenly and pour them all into a teapot.

"Boss, what are you doing?" Xiaobai kept moving his hands and looked at Su Chen blankly.

"Make a little gadget. Let's go out to play. Mr. Ling has made the second floor neat and tidy for us. This celebration banquet is for them, should we make more things for them?"

Xiaobai nodded, "That's right. Don't let Mr. Ling feel cold."

"You are also an old employee. It's good to understand this." Su Chen gave him an approving look.

When Bai Xiaobo saw this, he stirred the sesame sauce a little faster.

Su Chen pointed the teapot at the dried eggshell holes, poured about one-third of the soup into it, and then put all 12 eggshells in the refrigerator to make a quick freeze!

It can only be quick-frozen for 2 minutes. The previously poured soup is not frozen, but becomes slightly elastic, like jelly that is about to melt!
  At this time, stir the soup that is about to solidify with yellow powder, shape it into an oval with your hands and put it into the eggshell. While the oval begins to deform, use a teapot to fill all the surrounding gaps.

Seal the round egg wrapper and refrigerate.

"Good guy! Isn't it too hard to make this thing?"

Su Chen was used to cooking large-scale dishes, but occasionally it was quite uncomfortable to do something like slow work and detailed work, and he felt like there were ants crawling in his heart.

Repeat this until all 12 eggshells are filled and refrigerated.

The so-called ‘special rewards’ have been settled for the time being.

"Has the sesame paste been mixed?"

Xiaobai raised his head and asked, "Anything else to add?"

"No more." Su Chen began to pour fermented bean curd, soy sauce and other condiments into a small bowl, "This is enough for the serious Erba sauce. The rest all depends on personal taste."

Bai Xiaobo nodded in understanding, "What else should I do?"

Su Chen thought for a while, "Didn't I have an order a few days ago? Think carefully about how to deal with it."

That was an order placed by Brother Fang before the team building.

I didn’t name the specific dishes, but I was given a budget of [-] yuan for a meal for six people.

"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll go out first!"

After receiving Su Chen's message, Xiaobai always felt that he was different from others, and even his title changed from 'Boss' to 'Brother Chen'.

It doesn't matter, Su Chen doesn't care.

After sending Bai Xiaobo away, Brother Fang Chang and Jiang Yuan also came.

Su Chen directly invited the two of them to the kitchen, "Mr. Fang, how much do I pay you for the fish and shrimp?"

Brother Fang Chang waved his hands hurriedly, enduring the pain of his arm being rotated 360 degrees, "No, no, no, I only paid for it on the way!"

"Then I'm welcome." Su Chen took the live shrimp and the cleaned fish, "Give me this leg of lamb too. I'll take care of it first."

"Boss Su, our cooperation." Brother Fang Chang urgently needs to use this cooperation to prove himself to his girlfriend. Otherwise, he really can't handle this leg of lamb today.

"Don't panic, we'll eat it later. After eating, everyone will vote. As long as everyone thinks it's delicious, we'll use your meat, okay?" Su Chen should have actually thought about it, and the meat can be directly used. 's.

But you have to go through this process, otherwise it won’t be justified if you cheat someone’s leg.

"It works!" Brother Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

He is still confident in the quality of his own meat, especially this batch of grass sheep, which are shipped from Inner Mongolia for slaughter every day. Because they are relatively expensive, they are only sold in some high-end supermarkets.

Su Chen put one hind leg on the cutting board, which was a little stiff from the cold.

Just when he was about to take the knife, he stopped and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

"Hello? Ah Bao, why haven't you come to the company yet? Yes, yes, yes, we can't hold the celebration party tonight without you."

"Yes, it's not like you don't know my sword skills. Well, come on, yes, help me with this leg. I'll just learn from it."

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen washed his hands with satisfaction.

This is called being a boss!
  If you have to do everything yourself, then why be a boss?
