Don't pretend, I'm the God of Cooking and I'll showdown!

Chapter 170 Crispy, Sweet and Fresh Winter Melon Candy!Junior brother, give Qiu Qiulu a hand! 【Ask monthly ticket】

Shu Yun led Mr. Jin and others to table No. [-], poured tea for them one by one, and then hurriedly ran towards the small restaurant where the employees ate.

The braised pork dish cannot be cooked fresh.

And the customer pays a high price to buy it.

Her only choice is to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth and take away the braised pork from the employees' dining table.

In the diner.

Cheng Jianshe, who couldn't find the rice, had to bring some of the rice prepared for the customers.

After serving himself a bowl, he sat down and couldn't wait to grab a piece of braised pork and taste it.

Well, this braised pork is really authentic.

No wonder the rice for the staff meal has been filled.

With this braised pork, you can definitely eat an extra bowl of rice.

As soon as he mentioned rice, he remembered what he had said during lunch, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Originally thought that Master Lin was young and arrogant, but he didn't expect that he was less knowledgeable.

What a hero out of a boy.

I think back when I was in my twenties, I was just a helper who could only chop.

However, Master Lin is already in charge of his own work, and his craftsmanship is not inferior to that of the master chef who is in charge of the finale.

Maybe this is talent!

Cheng Jianshe was filled with emotion.

After eating two more pieces, the braised pork on the table has been eaten up.

But it's okay, there are still some in the insulation basin next to it, it's for the employees who come late, Cheng Jianshe plans to fill some.

However, he just walked over with the plate.

I saw Manager Shu at the front desk rushing over and took away the remaining braised pork in the thermos...

what's the situation?
I just started eating it! ! ! !

Cheng Jianshe asked with some displeasure:

"Manager Shu, what do you mean?"

Everyone knows that today's braised pork is delicious, but it's too outrageous for you to take away the pot, right?
Why don't you just buckle the rice in?

On the table next to him, Xie Baomin, who was praising Lin Xu's skill, also looked over:

"What's the matter, Shu?"

Shu Yun explained:
"It's like this Mr. Xie, Mr. Jin, a regular customer in our store, came to eat and saw that the braised pork in my bowl was good, so he wanted to buy a copy for two thousand to try something new..."

Xie Baomin was a little unhappy at first.

A front desk manager suddenly ran over to take away the dishes reserved for the staff. Doesn't this take me as an executive chef too seriously?
However, I heard that someone spent [-] yuan to buy braised pork.

He immediately picked up the braised pork in front of him and handed it over:

"Come, come, I haven't moved this plate yet, so let's take it away!"

ho...

I am worrying about how to increase the turnover of the restaurant, and I actually meet customers who pay a high price for braised pork, so why hesitate?

Lin Xu on the side was secretly speechless.

It doesn't cost two thousand to buy a piece of pork, and someone actually spends so much money for a few pieces of braised pork... He glanced at the braised pork on the dining table, and felt distressed.

Today's dinner may cost more than [-] yuan.

No wonder the senior brother became excited when he heard the price.

But there is no need to sell the braised pork that the employees are eating, right?How bad it is to spread the word.

He thanked Baomin and said:
"Brother, put it down, there is still braised pork in the pot."

When I was making braised pork today, I specially made some more, and I planned to let Baby Shen take it home to eat, but since there are customers buying it, it is natural to sell it in the store.

After all, this is related to the performance of the senior.

Xie Baomin heard it again.

Only then did the plate come down.

But then asked again:
"Is there much left? Is it enough for one serving?"

"Absolutely enough!"

Shen Baobao's whole family eats braised pork, how can it be done if there is not enough portion?
Look down on my father-in-law's demand for meat, right?
After confirming that there was braised pork in brown sauce, Shu Yun was also relieved. She put the thermos in her hand back to its original place, and then said to Lin Xu:
"Thank you, Boss Lin, I'll ask the customer when to eat, and ask the waiter to inform you when the time comes."

After speaking, she hurried to the front desk.

Communicate with the customer first, and then finish the rest of the rice by the way.

Well, such a delicious dish can't be wasted!

Because the chefs in the back kitchen take turns to cook, and I don’t know when Boss Lin will be cooking next time, so I have to eat as much as possible today, at worst, I will skip the rope after get off work.

After eating and drinking.

According to the regulations of the back kitchen, the chef who is in charge of cooking is also responsible for arranging the tables, chairs and tableware. However, just as he was about to start, Cheng Jianshe came over after eating until his stomach became round:
"Master Lin, don't you still have to serve braised pork to the customers? Hurry up and prepare it. Let me do this little work. I was careless at noon. Next time it's your turn to cook, you must steam more. Meter."

The customers outside didn't know when they wanted meat, and Lin Xu was not polite to him.

After wiping his hands with a towel, he went to his stove.

Soon.

The waiter came to inform that the braised pork was served.

Lin Xu opened the lid of the casserole.

Use chopsticks to carefully place the braised pork inside on the plate, with the skin facing up, and the ruddy meat is trembling, making people want to take a bite.

Based on the amount left, he arranged a four-by-four square on the plate, with each piece of meat next to each other.

After setting it up, pour the soup in the casserole on the meat, which not only makes the color of the meat more rosy and oily, but also makes the aroma more intense.

The appearance immediately jumped to a higher level.

With such beautiful meat, adding other decorations would only make it superfluous, so Lin Xu handed it over to the passer-by and began to serve.

soon.

This plate of braised pork was brought to Mr. Jin's table.

"Hey! This looks worthy of Diaoyutai, and the staff's food is also outstanding."

The few people who were still chatting about business suddenly moved their index fingers.

It's not about business anymore, let's eat!
"This meat is really delicious, the sweetness is just right, and the texture is just right. It's not too soft, but it doesn't take much effort to chew. It's great!"

"It's really delicious. I didn't expect that there are hidden dishes in Building No. [-]."

"You still have sharp eyes, otherwise you wouldn't be able to eat such delicious braised pork."

"..."

Several people were full of praise for this braised pork.

In the kitchen, Xie Baomin found Lin Xu, who was also chatting about this dish.

"Junior brother, since your braised pork is so popular, why not add it to the surprise menu in Building No. [-]? What do you think?"

Lin Xu has no objection.

Anyway, braised pork is not troublesome, just stir fry the meat, add sugar and stew it in a casserole, which will not delay this month's vacation life.

"Okay, brother, I have no problem here."

"Junior Brother, I'm bothering you. I'll give you more when you get paid at the end of the month."

Still add money?
Then there is no problem!
But why a surprise menu?
He asked curiously:

"Can't this dish be served directly?"

Xie Baomin shook his head:
"It's very difficult for a restaurant in Diaoyutai to officially launch a new dish. Not only do the chefs from each floor come to taste it, but they also have to win the approval of more than half of the chefs."

Oh……

If you say this, I will understand.

Considering the speed at which you offend people, I guess few chefs would agree to serve new dishes if the dishes eaten by the Jade Emperor were brought over.

after all……

Who would want to miss such an opportunity to add insult to injury!
But senior brother will also take advantage of loopholes.

Make a surprise menu.

It is not officially launched, but it does not delay the sale.

The other chefs really couldn't fault it.

Soon.

All the employees in Building No. [-] were notified that the dish of braised pork was officially listed as a dish in the surprise menu, and the front desk was responsible for promoting it.

But this matter has nothing to do with Lin Xu.

He came home from get off work when he was done.

First take out the winter melon strips and pumpkin strips soaked in the refrigerator to change the water, then wash them several times, and then continue to soak them in water and put them in the refrigerator.

Lime, even if it is food grade, try not to eat it.

Not only does it taste bad, but it is also easy to hurt the stomach, so it should be removed as much as possible.

In order to achieve this purpose.

He changes the water every two hours.

Until late at night, after changing the water for the last time, I went to bed.

the next morning.

Wash the wax gourd strips and pumpkin strips soaked overnight several times again.

Then boil a pot of water on the stove.

Boil the winter melon strips in water.

After cooking, the wax gourd strips have completely turned into a transparent state. When they are gurgling in the pot, they are like boiling a pot of strip-shaped jade.

After cooking for ten minutes.

Use a colander to fish out the wax gourd strips, put them into the cold boiled water and continue soaking.

After boiling, it can no longer touch raw water, otherwise the wax gourd candy is easy to rot and deteriorate.

It should be soaked in cool boiled water.

Only in this way can we cut off the possibility of deterioration.

After the winter melon was cooked, he boiled the pumpkin again, which was also soaked in cold white water.

After soaking the two ingredients, continue to put them in the refrigerator to refrigerate.

Then he went to work with Dundun in his arms.

After get off work in the afternoon.

Take out the winter melon strips and pumpkin strips, put them in a clean and oil-free bamboo basket, and use a fan to dry the moisture on the surface.

Next comes the sugaring.

This step can not have any moisture and oil, otherwise it will affect the final quality.

After drying the moisture on the surface.

Lin Xu took a deeper small basin, wiped the basin thoroughly with kitchen paper, then spread a layer of wax gourd strips on the bottom of the basin, sprinkled a layer of sugar after spreading, and then spread another layer.

Spread a layer of winter melon strips in this way and sprinkle a layer of sugar, marinate all the winter melon strips, then sprinkle some white sugar on the top to seal, cover with plastic wrap, and continue to put it in the freezer of the refrigerator.

And those pumpkin strips were also marinated in this way of layering ingredients and layering sugar, and put them in the refrigerator for storage.

Two days later on Friday afternoon.

After 48 hours of pickling.

Lin Xu took the two basins out of the refrigerator.

Take off the plastic wrap, you can see that the white sugar inside has melted, and now there is a layer of sugar liquid floating on the bottom of the basin.

It’s time for the final step – frying the cream.

Lin Xu took a larger iron pot and put it on the stove, then poured the wax gourd strips in the pot and the syrup from the bottom of the pot into the pot, and turned on medium-low heat to stir fry slowly.

This step is to fry the excess water in the wax gourd strips, and at the same time allow the sugar to penetrate into the wax gourd strips.

Soon, the sugar juice in the pot began to boil and became more and more viscous.

Continue to stir fry, so that the syrup hangs evenly on the surface of the wax gourd strips.

Wait until the syrup becomes thicker and thicker, and the syrup hanging on the surface of the wax gourd sticks becomes thicker and thicker.

at last.

When the water in the syrup is fried, the syrup will change from a viscous and transparent state to a layer of dry white frost.

Lin Xu stir-fried a few more times, and then poured the winter melon strips covered with frost into a large tray to cool.

This step is exactly the same as sand-turning dishes and frost-hanging dishes. It uses the principle that syrup will crystallize into white solids during frying.

The frosted winter melon strips look even more attractive.

Pick up one and put it in your mouth and bite it. The white frost on the outside has a rustling texture, but the winter melon inside is still crunchy and translucent after being bitten.

Chew a couple of bites, and you can taste the freshness of winter melon and the sweetness of sugar.

There is a feeling of eating nature in one bite.

tasty!

But at this moment, the winter melon candy hadn't completely cooled down. Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu poured the pumpkin strips into the pot again, and fried them in the same way until they were frosted.

The fried pumpkin strips are golden in color.

Compared with winter melon candy, it looks like a gold gradient and a silver gradient.

Squeeze one into your mouth, bite lightly, and the rich sweet fragrance of pumpkin immediately fills your mouth, and it tastes even stronger than winter melon candy.

Just after eating one, a system notification sounded in my mind:
"The host successfully made a perfect pumpkin candy using the perfect-level wax gourd candy production method, completed the hidden task [inference], and rewarded a perfect-level food learning card, congratulations to the host."

what?
Another perfect food learning card?
Then when Brother Guo Weidong was cooking roast suckling pig, wouldn't he be able to steal the teacher quietly again?

Tut tut...

The system really intends to let me collect rewards in the instance of Diaoyutai.

It was dark outside by now.

He put the cooled wax gourd strips and pumpkin strips into two glass jars respectively, carried them downstairs, and walked into Uncle Yu's supermarket.

"Master, the winter melon candy and pumpkin sticks are ready, I'll give you some to taste first."

"Oh, this candy looks beautiful!"

Uncle Yu leaned over, unscrewed the lid and tasted it without any explanation:
"Well, it's delicious. Winter melon has a strong flavor and is also very crispy. It's exactly the same as the old-fashioned winter melon candy I ate when I was young. Unfortunately, the ones sold on the street are all machine-processed, and the taste is not good."

After tasting the winter melon candy, he tried the pumpkin sticks again, and he was also full of praise.

"Boss Xiaolin, I think with your skill in making winter melon candies, you won't be hungry even if you don't open a restaurant. If you want to set up a store selling old-fashioned candies, the neighbors won't be crazy about buying them?"

He does not mean that.

Lin Xu suddenly remembered the previous task of letting him invest in opening a store.

Could it be this wax gourd candy?
But the sales volume of this stuff is very low. It is usually enough to eat one or two sticks a day, and you need to monitor your blood sugar regularly. If you are not careful, you will become a sugar person.

So although this thing has feelings.

But if you open a store, there is a high probability that you will lose money.

Or save it.

the next morning.

Lin Xu went to Caoji to drink a bowl of mutton soup, ate two shortbreads, and then drove Dundun to work in Diaoyutai.

Now Dundun is used to riding a car.

Every time I get in the car, I obediently lie on the passenger seat.

Occasionally, when the sprinkler needs to start the wiper, the little guy's head is still swinging with the wiper.

Come to the car and drive into Diaoyutai.

Parking the car at the gate of Building No. [-], Lin Xu got out of the car with Dundun in his arms and came to the restaurant.

"Dundun, did you miss me today?"

Shu Yun bent down and hugged the little guy in his arms, then said to Lin Xu:
"I received three calls early in the morning to order braised pork. Boss Lin, the reputation of your braised pork is getting bigger and bigger. Many people come here to eat."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"You still do a good job in marketing."

Since the store decided to serve braised pork, Shu Yun specially asked Lin Xu to make a portion, then set up the lights, and took a series of high-quality photos of this dish with a digital camera.

When a customer comes in to order, she takes out the tablet for the customer to appreciate.

The visual effect of the tablet computer is already good, coupled with her good shooting skills, the ruddy flesh and trembling appearance smashed the defenses of the customers all at once.

The reputation of braised pork has also spread rapidly.

After the two of them boasted about each other's business.

Lin Xu came to the back kitchen.

Wipe the stove first, re-clean the kitchen utensils and the like, and then start preparing for today.

Now every meal can sell seven or eight servings of braised pork.

Lin Xu needs to prepare in advance.

Burn the skin with a spray gun, then scrape and wash it with warm water.

Then cut the meat into four centimeter squares, wash it once, put it in the pot for stir-fry.

While busy.

Xie Baomin Shi Shi ran over.

"Junior Brother, Qiu Zhenhua from Building No. [-] will come to our No. [-] Building in the afternoon to see the crab roe buns you made. You can start preparing the meat after you finish the meat work. If you don't have enough manpower, call for help. Anyway, everyone is idle."

Oh?
Doesn't this mean that the task of upgrading the crab roe bag is about to be completed?

Lin Xu didn't need anyone's help, he was completely busy by himself, and even had time to go to the aquatic product area and chat with the fish and shrimp inside.

But when he thought that this was an opportunity to build relationships, he said:

"Then let Master Qin help me, I'm really busy by myself."

"Row!"

Xie Baomin agreed, and then shouted to Qin Wei who was not far away:
"Xiao Qin, don't cook today, come and help my junior brother, he needs someone to help here."

Qin Wei was a little surprised.

But still nodded, put down the work at hand and walked over.

"Master Qin, do you know how to boil skin jelly?"

Qin Wei nodded.

"How about chicken soup skin jelly?"

Qin Wei nodded again.

"Then how about you watch me boil later? Just point out what's wrong."

Qin Wei:? ? ? ? ?
Do you need a helper to watch you do your work?
Although I was surprised.

But he finally nodded.

In this way, one of the two worked and the other watched, and they were busy until the afternoon.

Three in the afternoon.

Lin Xu disassembled the crabs and made them into fillings. By the way, he and Qin Wei took the dismantled crab shells and formed several new crabs like Lego blocks.

While playing, Xie Baomin led Qiu Zhenhua to the kitchen.

"Qiu Qiu, although my junior brother knows how to make crab roe buns, and the ones he makes are not bad, they are still different from what you make. You will have to give pointers later, and you can't hide your secrets."

Qiu Zhenhua rolled his eyes at him:
"Do you think I'm like you?"

"What's wrong with me? I never hide my secrets. If you don't believe me, you asked me to go to Building No. [-] to instruct your chef to see if I will hide my secrets."

Xie Baomin's words made Qiu Zhenhua look as if his scheme had succeeded:

"Then I will wholeheartedly teach you junior brother later on, and you can also make your master's clear water lotus for me to learn a lot, how about it?"

"make a deal!!!!"

Xie Baomin shouted at Lin Xu:

"Junior brother, are you ready? Hurry up and give Qiu Qiulu a hand, he is waiting to teach you!"

"okay!"
