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

Chapter 121 Wu’s first dish, fried watermelon!

The reason why I showed up in the practice room at this time was really helpless.

With Su Chen's current skills, if he prepared the dishes based on the fragments of famous recipes, most of the dishes would basically be able to reach A level the first time.

Even some dishes can easily reach S level if you have some insights during the production process.

According to the countermeasures previously discussed with Li Mingtao, the first dish Su Chen served should preferably be an A-level ordinary dish.

That is: it's delicious, but definitely not outstanding. It's more than enough to make some time-honored signature dishes, but it's not amazing enough.

If Cui Yufen and his group still want to find fault with such a dish, there is no doubt that this is looking for trouble.

If he could just muddle along, Su Chen could play the rest of the dishes according to his normal level.

Unfortunately, all the dishes prepared were all S-level, and there was not a single A-level dish.

‘I have no one else to take the initiative to downgrade! ’

Su Chen quickly found an appetizer from the famous Pulu cuisine.

This dish is not very common, and may even seem a little funny to the uninitiated.

Fried watermelon!

A dish that can be considered both a fried dessert and an appetizer.

If any restaurant dares to put this dish on the menu, you must try it.

Have you ever seen someone eat iced watermelon? Have you ever seen someone eat heated watermelon?

Fried watermelon is such an anti-human dish, and what Su Chen wants to do is to make it less anti-human.

Following the recipe, Su Chen only took fifteen minutes to make a fried watermelon exactly as described in the recipe.

This dish undoubtedly received an A rating from the system.

‘Actually, this dish is just a curiosity. After trying it a few times, it becomes boring. ’

It was such a dish that Su Chen decided to use it to test Cui Yufen's attitude.

After leaving the practice room, Su Chen opened his eyes and waited for the timer on the table to reach three minutes.

Then take out the duck that was just boiled in the pot and wash it with clean water.

A clean white cloth is wrapped around the outside of the duck. The pork slices that were previously cut into two-inch lengths and two-thickness, as well as the diced chicken chopped into one-inch cubes, plus the chicken carcass chopped into four pieces, are put into the pot and cooked for five minutes. Then take it out and wash it clean.

The chefs in the kitchen sighed a little when they saw this complicated process.

"Should I say it, there are really fewer and fewer dishes like this in this era." Jiang Wusheng was deeply touched by this, which was an important reason for him to quit the chef world.

He can't accept today's fast-paced life. Everything must be done quickly. When guests come to eat, they will get impatient after waiting for half an hour. They just want to sit down and start eating.

How is it possible to make a delicious dish like this?

At the same time, I also gained a new understanding of Su Chen’s delicious customization.

He looked at Su Chen's actions with admiration, "Boss Su can have such an idea at a young age. Compared with him coming to my museum, he seems a bit stingy."

Feeling the puzzled looks from Lu Yongliang and Jiang Wensheng, Jiang Wusheng continued very seriously, "If a dish like stuffed longevity duck appears on a restaurant's menu, it can indeed be prepared and cooked in advance, but if there are leftovers on the day No, this dish is considered a loss. It’s not sold enough, customers want to eat but can’t, and the reputation is not good.”

"I have observed that all the dishes prepared by Boss Su have one characteristic, that is, the process is extremely complicated. From the processing of ingredients, to the making of soup base, to the final cooking, they all take time to cook. If not If it has to be customized in advance, how can this kind of delicacy appear randomly in a restaurant that is open during normal operations?"

After listening to Jiang Wusheng's explanation, Lu Yongliang also agreed, "If an ordinary restaurant dares to serve duck like this, it is probably not far from closing down."

Of course, in a roast duck restaurant like Quanjude, people don’t have to worry about it. Anyway, you don’t care whether it tastes good or not, just eat it!

If you don’t think it tastes good, that’s your own problem. We are a century-old brand, how could there be a problem?

Jiang Wensheng recalled his own menu carefully, and it seemed that this was really all there was to it.

No matter which dish the customer orders, all the dishes on the menu are guaranteed to be ready within fifteen minutes!

If this duck dish was put on his own menu, Jiang Wensheng felt that he really had no confidence in the meal time.

It has only taken a year and a half, and it is difficult to figure out the number of ducks that need to be prepared every day. This is still a time-honored restaurant. If it is an ordinary restaurant, how can it survive this year and a half?

Su Chen was cooking while listening to a few people chatting.

Hmm. It was a good chat. I will write down all these contents in my notebook later.

You asked me why I chose the delicious customization business model?

Isn’t this already said?

Take another clean pot and put the chicken carcass, the wrapped duck on top, and place the meat slices and chicken pieces on top of the duck wrap.

Then ladle in the clear soup prepared the night before, one ounce of soy sauce, one third of refined salt and onion and ginger. Bring to a boil over high heat and skim off the foam. Turn to low heat and cover the pot.

"Abao, set the time for two and a half hours."

"Okay!" Abao placed the timer next to the stove. As long as the alarm clock rings, the dish is ready!

After all, when Su Chen was at full strength, he really didn't have that much time to take care of all the dishes one by one.

Next.

Su Chen brought some pink food coloring, dyed half a bowl of sugar pink, and cut a tender watermelon into pieces.

"Everyone, please stand back a little."

Abao dragged his master back, "Be careful, Boss Su is trying to show off!"

Lu Yongliang:? ? ?

What do you mean?

Could it be that he could hurt me by showing off?

But he still took a few steps back under Abao's force. The Jiang brothers also subconsciously took two steps back.

"call"

Su Chen held the kitchen knife in his hand and directly used his wild knife skills!

Under the influence of the badge, the swordsmanship shows unparalleled speed and accuracy!

Bang bang bang bang!

Su Chen put one arm behind his back, squatted down, and waved his right arm crazily at the cutting board!

Within ten seconds, the green skin of the tender watermelon cut in half was peeled off and cut into rhombus-shaped pieces.

There was not even a trace of juice left on the cutting board, which showed how fast the knife was cut.

"What a good boy!" Lu Yongliang covered his heart, "How can anyone cut vegetables like this? Isn't this too pretentious?"

Jiang Wusheng was also stunned and asked, "What is going on here?"

Everyone was a little confused.

I've seen good swordsmanship, but never this good!

The key is to just cut it. Why do you want to engage in such a big battle?

No wonder Abao asked everyone to take a few steps back just now. Boss Su is really showing off this time!

Jiang Wensheng watched this scene happily, "Young people, it's normal to like to show off your skills sometimes. When I was young."

"Don't talk about cracking eggs with one hand. That's not a show off." Jiang Wusheng abruptly interrupted his younger brother's pretense.

No matter what the occasion is, how dare you show off your two brushes in front of Boss Su?

Su Chen's toes were almost dug into the floor in embarrassment. It's not that he likes to show off, but he really doesn't know how to chop vegetables if he doesn't do that!

I hate it, what kind of rubbish knife skills is this!

Pour the cut watermelon into a basin and shake it a few times until the surface of the watermelon is evenly coated with a layer of flour.

Then put the egg water dough powder in a bowl and beat it into a paste with chopsticks.

Lu Yongliang felt that Boss Su's pressure was gradually dissipating, and he took two more steps forward, "Boss Xiao Su, are you going to fry watermelon?"

"Yeah. Everyone came in advance, so I gave you an extra portion of this dish. You can't let the guests sit on an empty table helplessly, right?"

Lu Yongliang covered his mouth and snickered.

This boss Xiao Su is bad enough!

You might as well not put a dish at all. No one would serve fried watermelon to guests!

If this is done well, it is easy to say, but if it is not done well, then it is not bullying Cui Yufen!

If not cooked properly, this dish will easily burn your mouth!

Su Chen didn't know what the old man was secretly enjoying. Put the watermelon pieces coated in flour into the paste and mix well. At this time, he placed the large pot with vegetable oil on medium heat. When the oil was 40% hot, turn to low heat. .

‘Should I say it, this dish tastes really weird. I hope Master Cui will like it! ’

Su Chen had a taste in the gourmet training room.

Well, it is an A-level dish, but it brings an extremely strange feeling!

As the watermelon chunks were put into the oil pan, the 40% hot vegetable oil suddenly bubbled up, but soon subsided. Under the influence of low heat, only small bubbles appeared around the chunks.

Su Chen tested it with chopsticks. The skin on the outside of the watermelon pieces felt a little hard, so he turned up the heat a little. As the oil temperature rose, the light yellow shell color gradually became darker.

Remove the oil pan from the fire, wait until the oil temperature has dropped a bit, then take out all the watermelon pieces in the pan, place them on a plate, sprinkle with red sugar, and put a small coriander on top Decorate it.

Pour the excess watermelon chunks into a bowl and sprinkle in the remaining sugar.

"Boss! Master Cui and the others are here and are going upstairs!" Su Chen pointed to the two plates of fried watermelon in front of him, "Serve the dishes, serve the dishes!!!"

He Shuting took the lead.

Two plates of food were delivered to two large round tables in the cafeteria.

"You can eat the rest."

Su Chen didn't want to take a bite of this thing. Even though it was Grade A, it really didn't suit his taste!

"Let me try it!" Zhang Li reached out and pinched a piece from another bowl, "It's so weird!"

If she didn't know what it was, Zhang Li would only think that it might be some kind of fried food, such as shortbread.

But it looks like fried food, but inside it is a piece of watermelon. This feels really weird!

"Crench!"

Put it in your mouth and bite it in one bite, "Woooooo! Hot, hot, hot, hot~~"

He jumped up on his short legs and fanned his mouth with both hands crazily, "It's burning me to death!"

"How is it?" Liu Shengnan asked her curiously, "How does it taste?"

Zhang Li pursed her lips and felt it carefully, "I can't describe the feeling. I'll try another piece!"

Obviously, no one except Zhang Li wants to try this stuff.

This time Zhang Li was not in a hurry to eat, and gently bit off half a piece, crunchy!

It's crispy on the outside and very sweet in the mouth. When you bite into it, you'll get the sweet and tender taste of watermelon, and the watermelon juice will burst out after you take a bite. It has a very unique flavor!

Good times!

Seeing Zhang Li eating one piece after another, the others couldn't help it anymore, and everyone started to taste it.

Ling Shuyu took a bite, frowned and retreated to the outside of the crowd. She really couldn't appreciate this dish.

Liu Shengnan took a bite, and like Zhang Li, he also ate one piece after another.

There was not much watermelon, but everyone quickly divided it up, which made Su Chen dumbfounded.

These short legs are really cool and not picky at all!

Well, it’s easy to take care of!

Now that the first dish is ready, let’s officially start today’s birthday banquet!

Lu Yongliang glanced outside and said, "Okay, people have arrived, and I should go out to celebrate Master Cui's birthday."

"We won't go, and we don't have this gift ready," Jiang Wusheng said.

"Okay, you guys are busy."

In the cafeteria, Cui Yufen looked around at this strange place, and Liu Fu followed behind him, "I really shouldn't have come here! I felt regretful after just looking at it yesterday. How could anyone do things like this!"

Wang Peixin found it a bit strange, "This doesn't look like a restaurant at all! Is it some new style that is popular now?"

"Is that our food on the table? What is this? Desserts?" The second senior brother looked at the plate of red and yellow snacks on the table. The small sprouts of coriander on it felt a little too perfunctory.

"Take a seat first." Cui Yufen said, and about twenty people quickly sat on the two large round tables.

"Oh, Sister Cui! I only found out that you came to Jingzhou to celebrate your birthday this year by asking around. A small gift is not a sign of respect! You won't blame me for coming to have a meal, right?"

Liu Fu helped take the gift, and Lu Yongliang pointed to the other one, "This is what Xiao Shang asked me to bring to you!"

Cui Yufen rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Yong Liang, stop crying like a cat and pretending to be compassionate. Let me ask you, does this matter today have anything to do with you?"

Lu Yongliang put away his smile, "What did you say? I don't understand! What's the matter?"

Cui Yufen sneered, "Okay, it's best if it has nothing to do with you."

But he was secretly cursing in his heart. Looking at Lu Yongliang's behavior, this matter probably had something to do with him. This old boy didn't have good intentions!

After Lu Yongliang sat down, Cui Yu raised her chin towards the kitchen, "Do you know this boss Xiao Su?"

"We had a chance encounter before, and this is just the second time I've been here with him."

Believe it or not!

Don’t think I didn’t see the photo of you two at the door!

Cui Yu couldn't tell a serious question from Lu Yongliang's mouth. He pointed at the plate of snacks on the table, "What is this?"

Lu Yongliang suppressed a smile, "Don't you know if you try it?"

Cui Yu gave Liu Fu a color.

The eldest brother picked up his cutlery, took a piece of it and put it in his mouth.

Crunch!

"Gan! It's actually fried watermelon!"

puff!

The brothers and sisters present couldn't help but burst into laughter of varying sizes.

"Old Qi, isn't this fried watermelon your specialty? Why don't you try it quickly?"

"No. How dare Boss Su put fried watermelon on top of the first dish? I don't even dare to think about what dishes he will serve next!"

"It's too much, it's too much! You actually use this kind of thing to fool us. Do you really think that 40,000 yuan is easy to earn?"

Cui Yufen did not stop the shouting of her disciples, but stretched out her hand to pick up a piece of watermelon. She ate it slowly and tasted it more interestingly.

There's nothing that won't make you want to eat it in the mouth. Anyway, the main thing is sweetness.

The sprinkled sugar is sweet, and the juice flows out during chewing, turning the outer meringue into a sweet meringue with a watermelon flavor.

There's nothing wrong with the taste, but it's not that delicious either.

‘It seems that this is the level of boss Xiao Su. ’

‘Today’s dish can be eaten with confidence! ’

The brothers' laughter was not stopped by the master, which was equivalent to Cui Yufen issuing a new order.

Today’s dish is delicious!

Lao Qi, who was at the same table, took a bite and said directly, "The fried watermelons now have been improved. They use zero-degree melons. The dough on the skin is also made very thin, so that it is not lost during the rapid frying process." The temperature of watermelon itself. If you eat it in summer, it will not only be refreshing and relieve the heat, but also have a unique flavor."

"But this dish is haha. I can only say that the boss here knows nothing about this dish. He just made it randomly and copied the recipe randomly."

Tsk!

When Lu Yongliang saw this formation, he understood in his heart.

This is going to make things difficult for Boss Su!

This is how the first dish is served. If nothing else happens, the waiter will ask the waiter to call the chef here for the second dish, right?

In front of the chef, you can comment on his dishes and order them one by one. This is Wu Chi!

If you are eating, you will have a friendly exchange with the chef after you finish eating and point out the shortcomings of today's dishes.

‘I don’t know if Boss Su can get through this today’

Lu Yongliang began to worry about Su Chen.

In this situation, no matter how good you are, you still can't stop the other party from deliberately finding faults.

In the kitchen, He Shuting repeated exactly what she had just heard.

"It's too much to bully people! Although this fried watermelon tastes weird and a little hot on the mouth, it's not as bad as they say!"

The short-legged man held two fists and said angrily, looking a bit fierce and fierce.

"Why don't you go and seek justice for the boss?" Xiaobai teased.

Zhang Li: X﹏X

"Boss Su, you are coming here with bad intentions! Although I don't know Master Cui Yufen, I have heard about her. This person has a bad temper and doesn't like others saying bad things about Shandong cuisine. He just learned how to surf the Internet a few years ago. I also had a quarrel with netizens on the Internet, and many people in the circle watched."

Seeing that Su Chen was silent, Jiang Wusheng said again, "But Cui Yufen is reasonable with this person. It's her fault, and she will apologize online afterwards, but if it's someone else's fault..." Jiang Wusheng smiled speechlessly, "That's really catchy. Hold on to people and don’t let them go.”

Su Chen nodded.

The first dish was just a test. After hearing the news that He Shuting had returned from spying, Su Chen probably had an idea.

In that case.

Su Chen silently turned around and returned to the stove.

Then let me give you Shandong cuisine cooks a little delicious surprise!

The first SS-level dish!

A dish that has never appeared in the eyes of the world, a dish that no one has ever dared to try, and even a dish that has never been imagined!

Clear, milk, two dishes!
