Chapter 957 The strange fragrance rises
The journey to the hospital went smoothly. Just like what the parents said just now, it seemed that the "carnival" was really too late last night. Many people got up late this morning.

This can be seen from the restaurants on the roadside. Some restaurants are not open this morning, which means that they may have closed late at night last night.

There's so much money to be made, and the boss probably can't stand it anymore. He probably just went to bed at this moment.

After the two of them arrived at the hospital, they took over from Wu's mother and asked her to have a good rest. Judging from the two dark circles under her eyes, she probably didn't sleep much that night.

"Okay, I'm going to take a nap first. Remember to call me if you need anything!"

It seemed that Wu Ma couldn't hold on any longer, otherwise she would have insisted on staying here due to her personality. After giving them some instructions, she went to rest in the room on the first floor of the inpatient department.

This room was specially vacated by Dean Gao for everyone to have a place to wait and rest, and Chu Yunfeng's broth and ingredients were also stored there.

"I'll go over with Mother Wu and bring the soup over first. We can start cooking when the professor and others arrive."

Chu Yunfeng knew that Mu Qing must have something to say to her mother, so he left the space for her. It took more than ten minutes to get the ingredients. Mu Qing naturally understood his good intentions.

After Chu Yunfeng came back, the professor and others also came, but Chu Dingtian just nodded to Chu Yunfeng and then left. It seemed that he went to "exchange greetings" with Dean Gao.

The first thing the professors did was to observe and understand all the data from last night, and after conducting a systematic inspection of Han Bingbing, they allowed Chu Yunfeng to continue production.

During this inspection, Chu Yunfeng had already done all the preparations. In fact, it was very simple. He just fried the sea salt in the pot and preheated it.

Then he cut the broth that had been filtered last night into pieces and threw them into the wine jar. However, before throwing it away, he added a bamboo grate to the bottom of the wine jar to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the pot and simmering.

Last night's broth turned into jelly after being refrigerated, and it was snow-white. It looked like lychee-flavored jelly, very beautiful and attractive.

Even Mu Qing couldn't help cutting it with a knife for fun, otherwise such a large piece of jelly-like thing couldn't be stuffed into the wine jar at once.

After receiving the instructions from the professors, Chu Yunfeng first waited for all the jelly in the wine jar to melt before throwing in all the remaining blanched ingredients from yesterday.

Yesterday, most of the soup was made from bones. Today, most of the meat was skin and meat. So you can imagine how rich the collagen will be after it is cooked.

Moreover, today is still the shining transformation of Jintang. By then, the fragrance will probably reach its peak, and its power will definitely be several levels higher than yesterday.

After adding a lump of earthy rock sugar to the soup, Chu Yunfeng began to fry the ginger slices. After the ginger slices were fried for a while, he added some star anise, cinnamon and bay leaves.

And they are all fried on a low fire. If the fire is too high, not only will the flavor of the spices not be stimulated, but they will also become mushy, making the taste bitter, and the aroma of the spices themselves will be gone.

After completing this step, Chu Yunfeng directly covered the lid of the wine jar and let it simmer for a while. The rice wine that transformed into golden soup still needs to be simmered for an hour before starting to "fry"!
The "frying" here is what people in Fuzhou call it. It actually removes the ethanol from the alcohol to prevent the golden soup from becoming sour after it is cooked.

In fact, in Sichuan, this practice should be called "shochu", which is to ignite the wine with fire to evaporate all the ethanol in it.

The professors began to continue testing and comparing data. At this time, the firepower had just started, and the flavors of spices and ingredients had just been activated, so there was less fragrance.

However, one could already see wisps of fine yellow smoke slowly emerging from the mouth of the wine jar, all of which were sucked away by the absorber and then transported into the mask.

The next step is to wait, and the waiting time is also the most difficult.

But what people working in the building near the hospital feel today is not hardship, but suffering!

Coming to work this early in the morning, everyone seems to be listless. I feel like I have no energy at all to do things. I drink coffee but it doesn’t work. I can’t concentrate. I always make mistakes when doing data. This is worse than suffering. Be uncomfortable.

Especially Zhao Yaqin, after coming to the company this morning, she immediately went to the break room to get a big cup of coffee and came back. After drinking it, she propped her chin with one hand, and then closed her eyes and began to "rest".

However, this "rejuvenation" would appear to "nod" from time to time, and several times because of nodding too hard, the chin fell off his hand.

This naturally "awakened" him several times, and then he opened his somewhat sleepy eyes and looked around, and then continued to repeat the previous actions.

Li Wenwen, who was opposite her, was naturally not much better, she was still typing on the keyboard, she stopped typing, and then made a "nod".

In the end, I finally realized when I put my chin directly on the keyboard, causing a "beep beep beep beep" sound. I almost fell asleep?
The irritating sound caused by the keyboard also woke up the two colleagues around her. They glanced at her, then sighed helplessly, turned their heads and narrowed their eyes.

Zhao Yaqin was also woken up by the sound. When she saw that it was her best friend, she also reminded her: "Be quiet, in case the person inside comes out and sees it later, your salary will be deducted carefully." !”

"Be careful with yourself first. The first thing he sees when he goes out is you!"

Li Wenwen sneered at her comments about being a thief and saying "catch a thief". She was still working hard, but you were blatantly sleeping. If I wanted to arrest you, I would arrest you first, right?

When Zhao Yaqin heard what Li Wenwen said, she glanced at the boss's room on the side with a guilty conscience, and found that there was no movement. Naturally, she was not afraid of Li Wenwen's "threat".

However, after such a scare, she felt much less sleepy, so Zhao Yaqin opened the cup and took a sip of coffee and said: "What time did you go to bed last night? It was almost three o'clock when I fell asleep. Look, my skin is already bad." so many."

"It's almost three o'clock for me, so it'll be a little faster to get home now. I still have to remove makeup, take a shower, and apply a facial mask. Isn't it the same as you?
By the way, how is my skin? I used the most expensive facial mask last night. Did it have any effect? "

Li Wenwen also felt a little energetic now, so she started chatting with Zhao Yaqin.

"It looks pretty good, and the hydrating effect seems to be very good. But you see, I can't. I forgot to put on the mask last night. I must put it on when I go back today."

But after thinking about it, the scene last night was really rare. So many people came out to eat. This has never happened before, right? Boss Chu is so awesome? "

Zhao Yaqin was quite impressed when she talked about this, her eyes full of admiration.

"No, I think it's not an exaggeration to call him the God of Cooking. Have you ever seen someone so good at cooking? And he's still so young. It's a pity that he has a girlfriend."

Li Wenwen said this unintentionally, but it sounded intentional, so Zhao Yaqin couldn't help but pick up a hint of it.

"What's the matter, do you still want to work harder? But I don't think you have much hope?"

"Where are you thinking? I just admire Boss Chu's craftsmanship. When did you say you wanted his person? I think you thought about it yourself, right?"

"You're the one who thought about it. I didn't know who was in love just now. Are you embarrassed that I told you about it?"

"Are you thinking too much? I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, but to be honest, why is there no movement at the hospital at this time? Didn't you say that we will continue to do it today?"

"Eh~? That's right. It's already 09:30 now. Logically speaking, it should be starting over there. Why don't you smell the fragrance?"

……

These two are not the only ones who are curious. Everyone who was baptized by the fragrance yesterday has been paying attention to this matter today, but they waited until ten o'clock in the morning and found nothing unusual.

That's weird, isn't it?
Could it be that Boss Chu succeeded yesterday and cured the person?
So many people began to search for relevant news on the Internet, but found that there were almost no relevant reports, so they felt even more strange.

Yesterday, the fragrance gave everyone a very comfortable feeling. It was not only the enjoyment of the fragrance, but also made many people have appetite.

Don't look at just such a seemingly insignificant matter, but for many people, it is very rewarding.

I am usually busy with work, and after get off work I just want to go home and rest. How have I ever thought of going out for a dinner party?

But it was different last night. Everyone was calling friends and exchanging glasses of wine. The dinner party was simply too lively.

Firstly, it makes everyone feel the beauty of being together, but more importantly, it helps many people gain wonderful love.

Yes, many people usually have a good impression of girls, but they have never been able to find a chance to express their thoughts, but the opportunity came last night.

I had the urge to eat out, but when I thought about eating out alone, it didn't seem like that, so I mustered up the courage to call the girl.

The girls were also worried about going out to eat, so after receiving the call from the boys, they suddenly felt that it was good, which prompted many of them to take the first step.

date!
So why did the party last night so late? To a large extent, it was because young people were walking through the streets and alleys, eating all kinds of delicious food, and there was a prosperous scene everywhere.

The worst people to stay up late are the cinema employees. The queues to buy tickets last night alarmed the top management, who immediately issued the latest order after seeing this situation.

Arrange films!

Schedule the film all night immediately!

So the movie hall of this movie theater has basically not stopped since last night, and the most depressing thing in the hearts of the employees who stayed up late was that they couldn't go out to party last night, they could only eat takeaway.

And this takeaway was delivered two hours later than usual, so I had to be so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back and I had to brace myself to sell tickets.

Originally, I could get some popcorn or something to satisfy my hunger first, but the new products that just came out were immediately looted by the customers, so how could I still take my turn?
Therefore, many people in the service industry felt very "bitter" last night. When they went home to catch up on their sleep this morning, they were still wondering whether Boss Chu would continue to make big moves.

If this happens again tonight, I might not be able to stand it anymore!

The same is true for the catering industry. Last night's carnival came so suddenly that the supply of ingredients was basically unavailable, so by the end, the most unpopular dishes were sold out.

In the end, there was really no ingredients to cook, which made many customers complain.

So today, the truck driver is also very tired. The truck is full of ingredients and he has to hurry up and deliver the goods to each house, and it is more than just one trip.

……

Chu Yunfeng was not very clear about so many things happening outside, but the hour had come and now it was time to stir up the wine.

In the previous hour, the concentration of the fragrance was not too high. Firstly, it was because all the essence of yesterday was attributed to the stirring of my bamboo stick.

The ingredients in today's soup stock have only just been cooked, and the flavor and flavor have not yet been stimulated.

But once the wine is "activated" and simmered together with all the ingredients in the wine jar, it will begin to change and take off.

This rice wine is not ordinary. It is a fine wine that has been sedimented for 50 years. It is very rich in lipids, alcohols, aldehydes, etc.

Once these things are combined with top-quality ingredients, they will undergo a huge qualitative change, which is why the soup stock will turn golden.

Chu Yunfeng was unsure of how powerful the synthesized rice wine would be, and he didn't dare to think about it now.

Because when Master Sun made it, the fragrance already made me feel quite remarkable, and not only did I increase the level several times, it even went through top-level synthesis.

When the rice wine was synthesized, 1/5 disappeared. Even though it was only 1/5, it was already a lot.

When the previous top ingredients were synthesized, they were at most 1/10 less, and some were even only 1/20 less, which shows the quality of the top ingredients themselves.

Chu Yunfeng secretly estimated that the missing 1/5 was probably to remove some impurities in the wine. After all, it had been fermented underground for so many years.

Moreover, the temperature during brewing was probably not that good, so there was this 1/5 loss.

Chu Yunfeng put aside all these distracting thoughts in his heart, then picked up a wine jar and placed it on the open fire stove. This wine jar was also one of today's secret weapons.

This is a rice wine jar with a history of 20 years. Brother Wang sent it as a spare. Chu Yunfeng is going to use it to stir-fry wine today.

In fact, for the step of frying wine, you only need to use an ordinary wine jar, or even a pot. However, if there is a wine jar, you will not choose a pot.

After all, pots contain iron, manganese, nickel and other metal elements, which will produce some chemical effects on alcohol under high temperatures, causing some changes in the taste of wine.

Therefore, the wine jar was still the first choice, and Chu Yunfeng directly chose the best jar at present.

After pouring cans of rice wine into the jar with Mu Qing, Chu Yunfeng took out a lighter and lit it, then quickly pulled his hand out.

As soon as the fire was lit, a strange fragrance suddenly spread from the temporary ward.
