Chapter 117 New Challenges
The live broadcast room opened on time at 7: in the morning, and the audience who had been waiting early poured in.

The number of viewers has skyrocketed, and the popularity is in the following order:
Fu Chao, Nan Zhi, Qi Pei'er, Xie Yu.

There was another sudden jump, and the sorting was refreshed.

Nanzhi came to the first place.

Qi Pei'er came last.

...The battle situation can be said to be extremely tense.

However, the audience's focus is not on this.

They discovered new scenes through different perspectives——

[This place is a bit strange, why haven't I seen it before? ]

[The original Mahjong Hall was not this big. Did they unlock a new map? ]

[That bar is obviously Qi Pei'er's dessert shop! ? ]

[Opening a restaurant and a dessert shop? ]

……

Yesterday, the guests’ discussion took place after the live broadcast ended.

So the audience was a little confused at first.

Until they slowly learned about the current situation through conversation...

The screen was filled with silence.

As the store expands, the number of customers will also increase.

The problem is that there is only one chef in the store, Nanzhi.

Xie Yu, barely counts as half.

As a result, Nanzhi will inevitably face a larger workload.

Can she really handle it?

This is the common question of all the viewers in the live broadcast room!
Except for a few who blindly trusted Nanzhi, most of the comments raised doubts:

[It’s true that Nanzhi is a great cook, but how can she run such a big store by herself? ]

[Haste makes waste. I feel like we will face a new crisis today.]

[Actually, Nanzhi is quite steady. She must have her reasons for making this decision...]

[Don't praise her anymore, Nanzhi is not a god! You're just waiting for the car to fall apart! ]

[Some people are really happy. Don’t they know that her greatest ability is to turn the tide and slap her in the face? ]

[There are so many haters on Nanzhi in the comments recently, what's going on? Is anyone joining the troll army? ]

……

Nanzhi was not completely unprepared.

At this moment, there was a naked chicken on the chopping board in front of her.

China has a long history of eating chicken, and it is used in all major cuisines, such as Hakka salt-baked chicken, Sichuan chicken, Jiangnan beggar chicken, Yunnan steamed chicken...

China's vast territory and rich resources have resulted in an endless supply of excellent food ingredients, each with its own merits.

For example, Wenchang chicken from Hainan Province has thin skin, crispy bones and tender meat, Taihe black chicken from Jiangsu Province has extremely high medicinal value, Qingyuan Ma chicken from Guangdong Province has abundant subcutaneous fat and is delicious when cooked into soup...

It’s a pity that I can’t afford the southern branches.

The one in front of her was an ordinary three-yellow chicken.

The price is not expensive, the meat is tender and the price-performance ratio is high, which is very suitable for the dish that Nanzhi is going to make next.

She crossed the wings of the cleaned chicken, inserted a knife into the incision under the neck so that the wing tips extended from the inside of the mouth and pinned them on the chicken's back. She then broke the leg bones with the back of the knife and crossed them, and stuffed the two claws into the chicken's belly, thus forming the posture of a mandarin duck playing in the water.

"do you understand?"

She asked Xie Yu.

Xie Yu: ...

"Sorry, can you do it again?"

Nanzhi demonstrated again.

Xie Yu was still dazzled.

Nanzhi: “…Forget it.”

She simply ordered Xie Yu to do other things.

After these days of getting along, Xie Yu has been able to understand what she means tacitly.

Basically, Nanzhi would cooperate with him immediately after he said something. The two of them were a perfect match. Nanzhi did not stop working and quickly processed a batch of whole chickens.

Then mix malt sugar with water, spread it evenly on the chicken, and let it dry until it is half dry.

At this time, the temperature of the hot oil that she asked Xie Yu to heat was almost reached, so she put the whole chicken into the pan and fry it until golden brown and then took it out.

Next, transfer the chicken to a large pot, add crushed ginger, an appropriate amount of salt and soy sauce, and a spice bag made from a mixture of nine kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs such as cloves, amomum, and cardamom, and simmer with water.

During the whole process, the chicken is pressed firmly by the iron grate to prevent it from turning over and being heated unevenly during the boiling process.

After the fire turns from boiling to low heat, it should always be kept in a state of being neither hot nor boiling.

The three-yellow chickens used by Nanzhi are not too old in size and only need to be simmered for 3 to 4 hours.

Moreover, there were dozens of chickens in this pot, and the deep pot was big enough to hold people.

After cooking it all at once, it can be directly scooped out and sold during business hours. It is very convenient and saves Nanzhi a lot of time.

While waiting for the food to be stewed, Nanzhi asked Xie Yu to stir-fry two more dishes.

Now Nanzhi basically only makes difficult dishes, while basic side dishes like scrambled eggs with tomatoes and spicy and sour shredded potatoes are left to Xie Yu.

At the same time, she also adjusted the menu, removing some dishes that she didn't have time for and that Xie Yu was not good enough to cook.

The audience in the live broadcast room suddenly realized:
[I told you, Nanzhi must have been prepared! ]

[Why do I feel that this is irresponsible? Xie Yu's level is far from Nanzhi's. Isn't this just fooling the diners? ]

[When you go to a restaurant to eat, are all the dishes cooked by the chef? Aren't there also second and third chefs, with different levels of skill? ]

[Nanzhi is quite professional. A good restaurant cannot have a chef who takes care of everything. Otherwise, what do you think the executive chef does? ]

……

The barrage was debated endlessly.

But Nanzhi tasted Xie Yu's dish after it came out of the pot and nodded:

"Well, not bad."

Xie Yu's handsome face was full of nervousness, and he asked unconfidently:

“Really good?”

Nanzhi smiled, didn't explain much, and directly called other people in to try the dishes.

The first to run in were the cubs.

Nan Yichong is the first one:
"Mom! I'm coming!"

Qingxi, who was following behind, burped:

"Do you want to taste test the food? Hiccup!"

Qi Zhang couldn't wait to come forward:
"I'll come, I'll come!"

Then they saw a plate of green.

The cubs collectively said: Hmm...

Not liking to eat vegetables is probably a common problem among children all over the world.

Qingxi and Qi Zhang quickly found an excuse to slip away.

Nan Yi is still struggling.

Only Xie Anan was so excited that she took the initiative to try it after hearing that the dish was made by her father.

Fu Chao and Qi Pei'er also arrived and took chopsticks to try the dishes themselves.

After eating it, everyone was surprised.

Because the food tasted better than they expected!
Xie Anan said dazedly:
"Dad's cooking wasn't this delicious before. Is this what Aunt Zhizhi cooked?"

The others all looked confused.

Xie Yu then explained:

"This is a recipe written by Nanzhi herself."

Nanzhi leaned lazily against the island counter, smiling confidently, as if everything was under her control:
“Trust our quality control.”

The recipes she wrote herself can allow even someone like Boss Yang, who doesn't know the difference between grains, to recreate 70% of the flavor of fried rice.

Not to mention Xie Yu, whom she taught personally.

Although home-cooked dishes like scrambled eggs with tomatoes require a lot of heat and seasoning, Nanzhi gets the time right to the second and the amount right to the gram.

With Xie Yu's clever mind, it is only a matter of time before he reaches a level that satisfies Nanzhi.

Therefore, Nanzhi’s plan to expand its store was not just a casual statement.
