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

Chapter 76 Tea eggs? This is simply a work of art!
  Half an hour ago, Su Chen had been trying to synthesize it in his office, but no matter what he added, he could not break through the 'green' level.

until
  Su Chen was bored in every possible way and started to add some weird things.

For example, when Su Chen added the entry [Jasmine Tea], the color of the synthesis box suddenly turned purple!
  It's purple! ! !

Su Chen was a little stunned at that time.

Jasmine tea eggs?

Why does it sound a little weird?
  With this unexpected gain, Su Chen tried to make the entry [black tea] more concrete, such as replacing it with the name of a specific tea type.

But each change will degrade the color, and only the entry [Pu'er Tea] can continue to remain purple.

So, Su Chen continued to add some strange entries.

【Blueberry】→White.

【花梅】→White.

When Su Chen was about to enter the practice room to start production, the last entry he added out of boredom turned the synthesis box orange!

【Cola! 】

The last orange recipe was the eight-treasure pumpkin cup, a pumpkin cup that completely conquered all state banquet masters!
  Orange means that the upper limit is extremely high, that is to say, as long as there is no problem with your own technique and you follow the recipe step by step, you can achieve A level.

As long as you are more proficient in techniques and can understand the essence of the recipe, you will basically be a solid S level.

So, under the temptation of the orange recipe, Su Chen forgot about taking breaks.

After working hard in the gourmet training room for eighteen hours, I immediately came to the kitchen in a hurry.

If it weren't for Liu Abao's help in making this fried chicken, Su Chen would really be a little overwhelmed.

When Su Chen laid all 20 washed eggs flat on the chopping board, Liu Abao crossed his chest with one hand and pinched his chin with the other, "Hey, what are you going to do with these tea eggs?"

Su Chen took a deep breath and tried to relax his tired brain, "By the way, this is the biggest restaurant you've ever worked in. How do you make these tea eggs?"

Liu Abao frowned and thought for a while, "When I used to work at Yingfeng Building, there was a tea egg dish. Three eggs sold for 3 yuan."

"Their eggs are cooked in a normal way. Boil the eggs until they are 4% cooked, crack them into pieces, add spices and tea leaves, simmer them slowly, leave them to become soft, and then soak them in warm water overnight."

Indeed, this approach is quite authentic.

After all, tea eggs are spread all over the country, and the methods of making them are different in different provinces and cities. There is no specific way to tell which one is delicious and which one is really bad. The difference is pretty much the same.

"You dare to sell this kind of eggs for more than 9 yuan each?" Zhang Li raised her voice and thought it was incredible.

Liu Abao laughed and said, "It's a big hotel. It's too cheap to use."

"Okay, you can try how much my tea eggs cost later."

Su Chen looked at the time. If it was almost right, Bai Xiaobo should be on his way back.

it's time!

He found two chopsticks, held them in both hands, and held the thin ends of the chopsticks with his fingers. Su Chen, who stood in front of the chopping board, took another deep breath.

Look at the eggs on the chopping board.

Bang~bang~bang~
  He started knocking continuously, but his strength didn't seem to be very strong, and the eggs on the chopping board didn't look any different.

But this action made Zhang Li laugh out loud, "Boss, it's like playing a drum."

Su Chen had no intention of paying attention to her, but automatically classified Zhang Li and Bai Xiaobo as the same type of people: sand sculptures!
  Each egg was cracked not only on the top but also on the sides.

With the blessing of the [Precision Strike] badge, he can control the strength very well every time. Only Su Chen himself knows what it means when the chopstick goes down!
  While beating, Su Chen silently mourned for the thousands of eggs in the practice room!

The speed was still very fast, and Su Chen stopped after knocking for about thirty seconds.

"All right."

"What are you doing? Saying farewell to the egg?" Liu Abao asked curiously.

Even with that force, you can't break the egg shell. Besides, if the egg shell is broken, how can you cook the eggs?
  Won’t it make you choke once you cook it?
  All primary school students should understand this principle, right?

"No." Su Chen was a little tired. He was so tired that he didn't notice that Liu Abao was joking, "Zhang Li, bring me that small pot."

20 eggs don’t require a big pot yet.

"Ling Shuyu, help me go to the lounge to get Pu'er and jasmine tea."

"Have it?"

"Yes. I bought it from Xinghui when I hosted Shang Mingke last time."

Zhang Li came over with a pot, "Boss, that Pu'er is very expensive!"

Su Chen didn't care, "I'll buy the cheap one tomorrow, and I'll use the expensive one to eat today."

Anyway, the company is full of young people, and no one likes to drink tea, so why is it so expensive?
  If you make tea eggs, they are valuable. If you don’t make tea eggs, will they have any value in the cabinet?

Ling Shuyu took the tea back and noticed that Su Chen had mixed some spices in the bowl.

"Five-spice seasonings are star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, pepper and cloves." Su Chen said this to Ling Shuyu, even though he already thought that Ling Shuyu was no longer suitable to appear in the kitchen.

But it is still necessary to understand some simple knowledge.

"What about Thirteen Fragrances?" Zhang Li asked curiously, blinking.

Su Chen: Get out! ! !
  "Wouldn't you know by looking at the ingredient list yourself?"

Because they had to wait for Bai Xiaobo to come back, they had nothing to do in the kitchen. Su Chen asked with interest, "Liu Abao, do you know why Wuxiang is this five-spice?"

"I know. Because these five spices are different, if they are used alone, they need to be supplemented with different ingredients. If they are mixed, they are mostly used for cooking meat and grilled foods."

Su Chen shook his head, "Although everything you said is right, none of it is right."

Liu Abao: (O_o)??
  Fortunately, Ling Shuyu and Zhang Li were used to Su Chen's nonsense literature, so they didn't say anything.

Su Chen picked up a piece of something that looked like tree bark, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, "Cinnamon bark is slightly sweet and has a rich aroma. Use it when cooking to make the aroma of the dishes deeper."

"The aroma of star anise is used to increase the aroma. The smell of bay leaves is relatively fresh, which will make the taste of the dishes lighter. The peppercorns are used to add more excitement to the taste. The smell of cloves is rich and slightly bitter, which will bring a taste to the dishes. Rich, lingering aroma.”

His actions were complemented by his expression, coupled with this plausive look.

Ling Shuyu: Damn it! He got it again! I want to pretend too.
  Zhang Li: Wow~ Boss Su knows so much. Little stars gradually began to appear in her eyes.

As for Liu Abao, he looked at Su Chen with great admiration, "I only know how to use these spices, but I don't know why. Boss Su, you are really awesome!"

Su Chen put down the cinnamon in his hand, his face full of indifference, "You can only know the reason if you know it. This is just my first glimpse of the door, it's not worth mentioning!"

In fact, these are all words I memorized when I was a host.

Otherwise, when you go to the restaurant to taste the food, you can’t always say: salty, delicious, fragrant, really good, delicious, I recommend you to come!

Or: That’s called an authentic one!
  This should not be laughed at by fans.

Therefore, in addition to a true love of food, a professional food anchor must also master a lot of theoretical knowledge.

With that knowledge, coupled with the current system, Su Chen seems to have two helpers, one civil and one military!
  It’s easy to dress up in front of others and very comfortable!
  This look made Liu Abao even more convinced that he must study with Boss Su for a while!

For a person like Boss Su who is not only top-notch in craftsmanship but also has extremely rich theoretical knowledge, even if he is given money, he may not be taught to do so, right?
  ‘I’m going to perform well! ’

After mixing the five spices in a good proportion, he poured light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and a little salt into the bowl. Su Chen controlled the time very well. After doing all this, Bai Xiaobo hummed and took a large bowl. Coke is back.

"The rest are in the warehouse outside."

Su Chen saw that Xiaobai was a little absent-minded, "Just leave it alone and take a rest for a while."

Su Chen very carefully put the eggs on the chopping board into the small pot one by one. He went to the door and brought two large buckets of Coke. He unscrewed the lid and poured the Coke slowly along the edge of the pot. At the same time, he mixed the five spices and mixed them. Good sauce is also poured into it.

Liu Abao: "Are you going to boil eggs with Coke?"

Zhang Li: "I like to drink hot Coke the most. Adding some ginger slices would be even better!"

Different people see things differently and think differently.

Afterwards, Su Chen poured the selected sauce from the bowl into the pot, and the five spices were tied up with a piece of cloth before being put into the pot.

Fire!

Ling Shuyu took the tea and asked, "What should I do with this?"

Su Chen didn't say anything, but took another small pot, squeezed some jasmine tea and Pu'er tea, added water and boiled it directly.

"This is the first time I've seen this method of making tea eggs. Can jasmine tea and eggs go together? What the hell is cola?" Liu Abao had his own thoughts.

Su Chen remained silent. He really felt that his mind was a little tired and he couldn't be distracted at this time.

It's okay when it comes to making tea. You just need to boil the water and slowly brew out the tea flavor.

Brewing coke is a bit troublesome. He has to keep an eye on the heat to ensure that the coke in the pot is slowly heating up.

After seeing very small and dense bubbles starting to appear at the bottom of the Coke, Su Chen immediately turned off the heat. After waiting for a full ten minutes, I turned on the fire again. It was much easier this time. I kept the fire low until the coke boiled, and then poured the previously brewed tea juice into the cola.

"Okay, keep the heat at this level, cook for 3 minutes and then turn off the heat."

"Here" Liu Abao pointed at the pot of pitch black stuff, "Boss Su, I believe in your craftsmanship, but is this thing really delicious?"

Coke is a very magical thing, it tastes really good.

But if you combine cola with other things, it will be a dark-level dish!

For example: Cherry Coke.

So even such a big company doesn't dare to change the taste of Coke easily.

Su Chen smiled and said, "We'll find out later."

The Coca-Cola in the small pot was boiling inconspicuously under low heat, and the three minutes passed by in a flash.

After Su Chen turned off the fire, he directly fished out all 20 eggs with a picket.

"You don't want to make bubbles anymore?" Liu Abao had too many questions. The main reason was that Su Chen's approach really subverted his understanding of tea eggs!

The best tea eggs, no matter how good the chef is, they still need to be soaked for a long time to absorb the flavor.

What's more, Su Chen doesn't even have the steps to break the egg skin into pieces. With a layer of egg skin, what other tricks can he do?

"Stop thinking about it, it's time to collect the juice from your fried chicken." Su Chen reminded.

Liu Abao then hurried to the other stove, "You mean to pour out half of the soup, let him collect the rest over high heat and put it on the plate, and then put half of the soup back into the basin?"

Su Chen: "That's right."

Liu Abao skillfully completed the process of reducing the juice over high heat, and even the steps of adding chicken soup and pouring cooked oil were not missing at all.

Ling Shuyu's eyes were filled with envy.

"Have the guests arrived?" Su Chen asked.

Zhang Li looked away and said, "It doesn't seem like it's here yet, but it should be soon. It's seven o'clock as promised."

"Okay, let's ask them to come in and try the dishes. Cherish the opportunity. The only time you taste the dishes is for free."

Liu Shengnan keeps track of the meals these employees eat on weekdays, and then calculates the general ledger at the end of the month.

After Zhang Li informed her, all the old employees from the delicious restaurant rushed to the kitchen.

"Testing dishes? Are new dishes coming out so soon?"

"Wow, these are really tea eggs. I have loved eating these since I was a child. I can eat three of them in one meal!"

"You need ingredients for a tea egg? Boss, is this a bit of a fuss?"

Face everyone's questions.

Su Chen smiled and said nothing, and just asked Zhang Li to divide the twenty tea eggs into small bowls.

Now, there are 8 people in total including the "guest" Liu Abao. Each person has two eggs in their bowl, and there are 4 eggs left in the pot at the end.

"What's so strange about this tea egg? Oh!" He Shuting looked at the egg that was flattened by her palm and exclaimed, "Doesn't this egg look broken?"

Liu Abao hurriedly took out an egg and looked at it carefully under the light. He still felt uncomfortable, so he simply took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to look hard.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Others were a little confused, how could it be so magical with just one egg?
  "Boss Su, you are such a miraculous craftsman! I thought you were joking when you hit it with chopsticks, but I didn't expect that you really broke the egg skin? How do you do this when you break a raw egg without breaking it? ?”

Just as Su Chen was about to speak, Ling Shuyu rushed to answer, "Only if you are familiar with it!"

Seeing Su Chen's deflated look, I felt so happy that I asked you to pretend again!
  The old employees were shocked when they heard what Liu Abao said. Crack a raw egg?
  Liu Abao rolled the egg in a circle on the table, gently pressing it with the palm of his hand. With just a few touches of his hand, the broken shell fell off easily with a layer of membrane wrapped around it twice.

one.
  "Boss Su, this is not good."

The color of this tea egg changes the stereotype in people's minds. It is completely white and flawless, with only a trace of very fine irregular lines in some places where the eggshell is broken.

At first glance, some of these lines are not very conspicuous.

"Try it." Su Chen was very confident in his tea eggs.

No matter what, this is an S-level tea egg!

In order to make this tea egg, he threw away thousands of eggs in the practice room!

Liu Abao pinched the lower end of the egg and took a bite at the upper end, not too big or too small, just enough to get half of the yolk.

With half of the egg in his mouth, Liu Abao first looked at the other half.

The white egg white wraps the egg yolk, which is cooked but not completely cooked. It is a very classic soft-boiled egg! But it's a little more mature than a soft-boiled egg.

At this time, Liu Abao slowly chewed the half egg in his mouth.

With every bite, Liu Abao's expression changed a little, until half of the egg was swallowed, and he couldn't wait to stuff the other half into his mouth.

Immediately, he took a kitchen knife from the chopping board, peeled another egg, and cut vertically into the middle of the egg.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Looking at the side section of the egg, Liu Abao exclaimed again!

Zhang Li: How does it feel like this scene happened before?
  "Boss Su, how on earth is this done?"

That flawless white egg, you can only see some fine lines on the skin if you look closely, but after cutting it open!

Following the lines, the sauce color penetrates directly into the egg, forming a very beautiful pattern on the cut surface, which extends to the yolk and then stops.

It seems that this is not a tea egg at all, but a work of art!
  "Crack the egg skin, but not completely." Su Chen shrugged, "To be honest, I don't know how to explain it, so that the soup will flow in along the gaps."

"Added by low heat, the temperature of the cola must not rise too quickly at the beginning, and enough time should be allowed to soak in while the eggs are still liquid."

"As the temperature slowly rises, the egg liquid begins to solidify, and it will look like this. Some people will crack the raw eggs directly, but if the egg skin is cracked too much, the inside will become like a marinated egg."

After Su Chen finished speaking, Liu Abao took a deep breath.

It’s already very difficult to crack an egg without breaking it!
  Moreover, the temperature of the cola and the water after adding the tea juice must be strictly controlled. To what extent do you need to control the heat to make it look like this?
  What makes people feel even more trembling inside is.

Isn’t this tea egg so delicious?

Liu Abao has such a picky mouth. Even for such a person, after listening to Su Chen's explanation, he immediately stuffed half of the egg in his hand into his mouth.

"The taste of cola is very light, with a hint of sweetness. The flavor of five spices is at the back, hehehe~" Liu Abao tasted the tea egg, and after swallowing it, he took a deep breath, "The tea aroma is here! A little Pu'er aroma, jasmine. The delicate fragrance stands out among the various fragrances, and it feels like it is coming out of the mud but not stained!"

“And because the soup is infused in advance, the eggs become extremely tender, so you don’t have to worry about choking!”

"Boss Su, your tea eggs are so good that I feel so good all over!"

The two tea eggs were eaten by Liu Abao in no time. Seeing that he had such a high opinion, Su Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

S-level delicious, no one squeaked after eating it!

Senior technicians were so thoroughly conquered, not to mention
  He Shuting: "Bah, bah! It's delicious, so fragrant! There's still a refreshing taste in your mouth after eating~"

Liu Shengnan: "Is this really an egg? I want to eat it with my eyes closed. I can't believe I ate an egg!"

Bai Xiaobo: "Fuck, it's delicious!"

Ling Shuyu said nothing, but judging from her smiling expression, she must have been greatly satisfied.

after all
  [Delicious food from Lingshu Island +999]

Aunt Fang finished two eggs and said with a smile, "These tea eggs cost two yuan, which is really not expensive."

In front of the public, Zhang Li finally ate her eggs, her cheeks were so tight that she said, "Every time! I can eat ten for two yuan!"

Su Chen shook his head.

two dollars?
  There is a novel in which a tea egg sold for 888 is in short supply. I am an S-level tea egg. Haha, I can’t get it no matter what.
  "These tea eggs cost 5 yuan each."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's chewing mouths stopped.

Su Chen smiled and asked, "5 yuan, is it expensive?"

Liu Abao smacked his mouth, "To be honest, with this appearance and taste, 5 yuan is a bargain."

He works in a big hotel, so he is quite sensitive to prices. "This is a signature dish in our restaurant. It's not too much. If you're 38, you might have to queue up if you want to eat it."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Su Chen said, "Okay, the price has been decided. New products will be released tomorrow!"

The boss has made the decision and of course there is nothing to say about beating the workers.

But at this moment, the eyes of everyone waiting were peeking into the small pot from time to time.

There are 4 eggs in there!
