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

Chapter 117 Warm up in advance, the masters of the state banquet gather together for delicious food

Making clear soup and milk soup is not difficult, but it is definitely not simple.

Because this is the first dish that Su Chen prepared to reach the S level, and it is also a soup stock that can be used repeatedly.

‘The broth must go to SS, this is the soul of Shandong cuisine. ’

Su Chen scooped a little of the broth he had just cooked and put it into his mouth. There was no obvious flaw in the milk soup. What stood out was the freshness, which was a very mellow freshness.

‘The key to making milk soup is to boil the bones over high heat, which is not difficult. ’

‘There is no obvious flaw in the taste. If nothing else, this soup is already SS level. ’

The reason why the evaluation given by the system is still S-level is that the two soups are most likely rated as one.

Take another sip of clear soup.

There is nothing wrong with the taste, but one obvious flaw is that it is not transparent enough! Not bright enough!

This is a very subtle feeling. If it weren't for the existence of Wei Zhiding, Su Chen believes that even he would never feel this tiny difference!

The taste of clear soup should be obviously bright, the kind of freshness that extends from the tongue to the throat, but this kind of freshness will not be as mellow as milk soup.

It will be shallow and bright.

The stock used in the preparation of Huaiyang cuisine and Hubei cuisine is often a pot of chicken soup, which is basically the same as chicken essence.

But the broth of Shandong cuisine is different. Most restaurants now use tap water and MSG to make the clear soup, and add a spoonful of Sanhua evaporated milk to make the milk soup.

For knowledgeable people, the food produced in this way is really hard to eat.

Industrial condiments and soup made from ingredients are completely different things.

‘The reason why the soup is not clear and bright enough is that it is not lifted properly, but my clear soup is obviously crystal clear to the bottom. ’

Su Chen looked at the pot of soup and fell into deep thought.

The preparation method of this clear soup is somewhat similar to the soup base of boiled cabbage, but the raw materials are slightly different.

‘Review it again! ’

There are four ingredients in the raw materials, namely elbow, chicken, duck and pork bones.

Among them, the role of elbows can make the soup thicker, chicken and duck can make the soup fresher, and pork bones can make the soup more fragrant.

‘How can I hoist it more properly?’

Su Chen set up a large bucket on the stove again and put ten kilograms of water in it.

Make two cuts on the pork elbow along the pork bone to expose the elbow bone, and then use the back of the knife to break the bone, so that the fragrant characteristics of the pork bone can be brought into play.

After washing the hen, remove the chicken feet, cut off all the chicken breasts, remove the chicken fat and chop into minced meat for later use. This is the material used to make the soup later.

The same goes for chicken legs. In the production of Shandong cuisine soup, the pureed chicken legs are called red whistle, while the pureed chicken breast is called white whistle. The main function is to absorb impurities in the soup, making the soup clear and translucent.

For the remaining chickens and ducks, use the back of a knife to break all the bones, and then pin the two wings together, thus completing the preparations.

Immediately, Su Chen started making clear soup according to the preparation method in the famous recipe.

A pot of fine soup takes at least ten hours to make.

During this period, Su Chen could not leave the practice room, otherwise he would have to start all over again.

Every time while waiting for the soup, Su Chen would look for other dishes to practice.

Three days of repeating this process flew by in a blink of an eye.

In the early morning of the 14th, Liu Abao got up before five o'clock and came to the th floor.

Sure enough, he found that Su Chen had appeared in the kitchen.

"Boss, Mr. Ling and the others are already on their way back. There are still some ingredients that cannot be delivered. They brought them with them themselves. They are expected to arrive in Jingzhou at ten in the morning."

Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.

It was really the right choice to leave this matter to Ling Shuyu, everything was just right.

There are a lot of things that he doesn’t say, and probably only Ling Shuyu can understand them.

"Let's start with the existing ingredients first. We have enough work today."

Liu Abao patted his chest and said, "I have already said hello to Master. When he arrives in Jingzhou, he will come by himself. I don't need to pick him up!"

"Let Bai Xiaobo pick him up. Don't get lost, old man."

It was a bit unexpected. Lu Yongliang was obviously here to celebrate Cui Yufen's birthday, so why did he come one day early?

Su Chen took out a pair of large intestines from the ingredients sorted in the kitchen. It didn't matter where it was produced. It was bought from a big market.

"You should deal with the large intestine first, and take care of everything."

"Do you want to make nine-turn large intestine? I can do this dish." Liu Abao is still very confident in his Shandong cuisine skills.

Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "Let me cook all the dishes this time. Just help me get started, oh yes! When cleaning the large intestine, three thirds of the oil on the surface is removed."

"Huh?" Liu Abao was quite puzzled, "Boss, this large intestine is just for its oily flavor. Are you sure you want to remove three thirds of it?"

Su Chen didn't explain, just nodded.

Is my SS-level nine-turn large intestine kidding you?

At first, Su Chen would not remove the oil from the surface of the large intestine. This was specifically explained in the famous recipe!

After making the nine-turn large intestine several times, it successfully evolved from A-level to S-level. After tasting it, Su Chen discovered that it was really delicious!

But there is a problem: it smells too good!

Logically speaking, it is a good thing that a dish is particularly fragrant, but this dish is so fragrant that the aroma masks other flavors. Every bite only has a strong aroma and nothing else.

This aroma comes from the oil on the surface of the large intestine.

So when Su Chen repeatedly tried to remove the surface grease, he found the amount to remove bit by bit.

After removing three-thirds of the fat, the aroma of the fat sausage will be appropriately reduced, making the flavor of the seasoning and the flavor of the large intestine itself more prominent, instead of just the oil aroma. This is very important, and it is a super upgrade to the SS level. The secret!

It is not even found in famous recipes. Instead, it is specifically described: When cleaning the large intestine, do not wash off the oil on the surface of the large intestine.

‘Perhaps it was because people in those days had less oil and water in their stomachs, so being able to eat this kind of oily flavor would be more in line with the masses’ tastes. ’

This is the only reasonable explanation.

Liu Abao was responsible for cleaning the large intestine, while Su Chen started to handle some seafood. Not long after, Bai Xiaobo walked into the kitchen.

"Boss, do you have an order to take today?"

Su Chen raised his eyelids and glanced, "I definitely can't take it today. We don't have time to take care of other orders today."  "But this order is a bit too much."

"How much more?" Su Chen stopped what he was doing. If he had enough money, he could really take it!

This is where deliciousness comes in!

"Lunch, meal for 2 people, 1000 yuan." Xiaobai looked at it on his mobile phone. He had already confirmed this order with the customer repeatedly. As long as Boss Su's review is correct, he can take the order.

"What are your needs?"

Xiaobai said into the mobile phone, "The customer's demand is to eat at least three dishes, and it must be Huaiyang cuisine."

Su Chen dropped the sea cucumber in his hand, "Isn't Fang Chang's father-in-law here? Have you contacted Fang Chang?"

Fang Chang has not come to the company these days. Every day, the employees in their store are responsible for the meat supply. They are probably also busy with their own engagement.

"Ah, then I will contact the eldest brother below first to see if he is his father-in-law."

Su Chen nodded, "Give me your phone and I'll contact you."

Not long after, Fang Chang answered Xiaobai's WeChat call, "Hello, Xiao Bobo!"

It's so disgusting. Su Chen glanced at Bai Xiaobo, it wouldn't be like this if he was hurt by a woman, right?

"Fang Chang? I'm Su Chen."

"Ah? Oh! Boss Su, hey hey hey! What's wrong with Boss Su?"

"I received an order today, and the person ordered Huaiyang cuisine. I doubt it."

"Oops!" Fang Chang suddenly shouted, "I'm so sorry, Boss Su, I forgot to tell you, my father-in-law came over yesterday, and so did my uncle! I told them not to come over for dinner today. You also said you would figure it out on your own, but it turned out that I ordered food from you!"

Su Chen sighed helplessly, "Okay, Fang Chang, please explain it to your father-in-law. Because tomorrow's engagement party is really busy, we might as well not accept the meal today."

In normal times, this would be okay. Three dishes cost one thousand yuan, and it only took Su Chen a few hours to cook those Huaiyang dishes.

But it can't be done now. One thousand yuan is nothing in the order on the 19th floor.

"Okay, I'm so sorry, Boss Su! I didn't even know my father-in-law went to your place, so I'll call them right now."

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen gave Bai Xiaobo his mobile phone, "Just reject this order. I won't accept any orders today and tomorrow no matter how much they cost."

With the boss's instructions, Xiaobai nodded firmly. This matter would be much easier to handle.

Bai Xiaobo had just left and Su Chen was about to continue working when someone else came!

"Let's see what this is!"

"Hey!" Su Chen shook his hand that was just wet with water, "It's wet, so I won't shake hands with you."

It’s none other than Lu Yongliang!

"No, no, no!" The old man waved his hand, "Are you busy? I came as soon as I got off the car."

Liu Abao stood up excitedly without washing his intestines, "Master!"

"Don't get close to me!" Lu Yongliang glared, "It's your business."

This operation confuses Su Chen, and the apprentice is so close to you when he greets you.

Liu Abao held the fat intestine in his hand and was dumbfounded: He has fallen out of favor!

"Master, please come here." Su Chen washed his hands and asked Lu Yongliang to go to the lounge. Although it was urgent to deal with the ingredients, it would not take more than half a minute.

"I thought you would come tomorrow and didn't prepare any food or drinks." Su Chen took the initiative to make tea for Lu Yongliang, which was given by Shang Mingke when he came back from the capital.

The main thing is that the wool comes from the sheep.

"I'm planning to come here tomorrow. It's too hot in the capital! I really can't stay any longer. By the way, how are you preparing this dish?" Lu Yongliang's voice still sounded a little tired.

After all, at such an old age, riding in a car is a very energy-consuming thing for him.

"We're almost ready. Let's process a batch of ingredients today and make advance preparations tomorrow morning so that we don't delay things when we serve guests at noon." After Su Chen finished speaking, he thought about it and expressed his doubts, "Old man , do you also know this Cui Yufen?"

"I know you, why don't you know me?"

Su Chen couldn't figure it out, "It stands to reason that Master Cui and I have no grudges in the past. We just exchanged cooking skills with his apprentice. As for such a big reaction? I guess there must be someone here, you know?" Do you know this?"

This was Li Mingtao's conjecture. Later, Su Chen also thought it made sense, but he still couldn't figure out who would do such an immoral thing!

Lu Yongliang just took a sip of tea and almost choked, "No, I don't know about this!"

Su Chen smacked his lips, "I don't know who is causing trouble. Master, if you find out later, please tell me. I will never let this person go easily!"

Lu Yongliang put down the tea cup in his hand and carefully observed Boss Xiao Su's facial expression. After making sure that he didn't mean to say this to him, he slapped the table in anger.

"That's right! Anyone can do such wicked things! Whenever I find out about this person, I will go with you to trouble him!"

In fact, in my heart: Withdraw!

Seeing that the old man was on his side, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay! Don't let us know who this person is!"

The two continued to squirt for a long time, and Su Chen finally got to the point.

"Old man, do you know what Master Cui's attitude is this time? Is she looking for trouble or what? Just have a meal?"

Lu Yongliang did not answer directly, "Are you afraid?"

"Hey! How could I be afraid!" Su Chen waved his hands arrogantly, "I've never been afraid of anyone."

"That's fine. In fact, this matter is quite complicated. I guess it's just one thing to show off your cooking skills. If you can't do it well, it's enough to give you a few words of ridicule. Let them get together. There is another big thing. I want to discuss it."

"Oh?" Su Chen became curious.

"In a few months, the Chinese Cooking Competition is coming. If nothing else, I want to select a few apprentices to participate. In the past, Cui Yufen's birthdays were not so big."

There's also this!

Su Chen had no interest in this competition or anything like that. To be precise, Su Chen wasn't very interested in anything that was about competing for fame and fortune.

After so many years of anchoring, he has learned a truth: the more someone stands in the spotlight, the more careful they have to live. He hates that kind of life.

"I'll tell you what happened later when I'm not busy." Lu Yongliang glanced outside, "Do you need any help in the kitchen?"

what?

Su Chen didn't understand what he heard, "What do you mean?"

"It's okay for me to start with you. I can't help you with cooking!"

Su Chen was stunned. Will the chef of the state banquet help me?

"What's the matter?" Lu Yongliang looked at Su Chen's expression, "Don't you believe me, old man? Even though I'm older, I still have no problem with you."

"No, no!" Su Chen waved his hand quickly, "If you say yes, then yes!"

If a national banquet-level chef can be added to the kitchen, it will be much easier to handle. Not to mention the preparation time of a day, an afternoon is enough!

The two hit it off immediately, and immediately rushed to the kitchen. When they walked to the office area, they only heard the voices of two men talking.

Su Chen followed the sound and looked at the man standing at the elevator entrance.

Isn't that Brother Fang Chang's father-in-law, Jiang Wensheng?

　burst!
