Chapter 397: Hanging Soup
When Qi Pei'er woke up in the morning and didn't see Nanzhi, she felt a little puzzled.

"I didn't expect Zhizhi would get up late one day!"

It turns out I’m not the only one who’s suffering from salted fish!
She chuckled, like a cat that had stolen fish.

However, after laughing, he did not rush to wake up Nanzhi and Nanyi.

Instead, he said to Xie Yu, who had just come out of the kitchen and was about to ask Xie Anan to knock on the door:
"Let them sleep a little longer."

During business hours last night, Qi Pei'er took advantage of the short break and secretly ran to the kitchen to see the new chef Nanzhi in action.

After reading it, she had only one thought -

Being a chef is not something that ordinary people can do!
She couldn't do it anyway.

As for Nanzhi, no one is more suitable to be the chef than her.

His powerful and majestic attitude, ready to attack wherever he points, makes him look like a majestic general on the battlefield!

Qi Pei'er was proud and distressed at the same time, and even her tone was soft at this moment:

"…She just took over as the head chef yesterday. She must be very tired after being busy for so long."

Xie Yu thought what Qi Pei'er said made sense.

When he turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast, he did not forget to save some breakfast for Nanzhi Nanyiyi.

At almost half past eight, Xie Yu had almost finished preparing breakfast.

Fu Chao brought Qing Xi to knock on the door.

They have breakfast together these days.

Fu Chao was still yawning when he entered the room, his eyes wandering around the room:

"Hmm? Where's Chi-Chi?"

"Still sleeping."

Qi Pei'er looked at the time and thought it was time to wake up Nanzhi.

Nanzhi usually gets up at seven o'clock, but today he is already an hour and a half late.

Fu Chao was stunned and also felt that something was wrong:
"Is Zhizhi feeling unwell?"

This question confused Qi Pei'er.

She had never thought of this possibility!
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that! I'll go call her!"

Qi Pei'er ran over in a hurry, and then ran back in a hurry:

"Oh no! Zhizhi and Yiyi are both missing!"

This made everyone explode!

Even the program crew received the news and became panicked.

They first searched the house inside and outside, and when they found no one there, they made several phone calls, but no one answered.

Just when everyone was panicking, someone suddenly shouted:
"Nanzhi and Nanyi have already gone to the restaurant!"

"what?"

Everyone was surprised.

After asking carefully, I found out that someone called the restaurant just in case.

The other side gave them a positive answer and said that Nanzhi didn't answer the phone probably because she was in the kitchen and was too focused.

Everyone then realized it was a false alarm.

Fu Chao was so frightened that his legs went limp, as if he had experienced a nightmare before.

He didn't even eat breakfast and rushed to the restaurant to check on Nanzhi's safety.

Just leave.

It was better for everyone to go together. When they arrived outside the kitchen of Yongnian Building, they saw people crowded inside and outside, and there was an endless stream of wonderful aromas spreading.

Fu Chao stepped forward hesitantly:

"What are you looking at... Gudong."

He really couldn't help but swallow.

It's not his fault.

I'm really hungry because I didn't have breakfast.

The young chef who was asked by Fu Chao did not laugh at him, but looked straight ahead:

"Shh, Master Nan is serving the soup."

Although they didn't know why they had to keep quiet while the soup was boiling, everyone still subconsciously kept their mouths shut, not even daring to breathe, for fear of affecting the state of the soup in the kitchen and becoming the sinner in the eyes of all employees.

Fu Chao couldn't help but be infected by this atmosphere and started to hold his breath.

Then, relying on his height, he stood on tiptoe and looked inside——

Nanzhi is standing in front of the stove, very focused.

Even though his eyes were indifferent and his actions were nothing special.

But her mastery of the kitchen is still very awe-inspiring.

In front of her was a pot of soup that had been simmering for more than two hours.

Inside are old hens, pork ribs, ham, pork, etc. After rinsing, draining and putting into the pot for the second time, all impurities are removed, leaving only the rich essence.

After a long period of stewing, the protein in the meat continues to evaporate and brew in the heat, gradually diffusing into a smell that is so fresh that it can make your eyebrows drop.

However, this is just the beginning.

Nanzhi took the chicken and pork, chopped them into paste, and poured them into the boiling soup pot one after another.

Brush it once with the red pork paste, and then brush it again with the white chicken paste.

During the maturation process, the minced meat will absorb impurities in the pot bit by bit, making the soup clear.

This step is called sweeping the soup, which is an essential step in making clear soup.

There was nothing unnecessary in Nanzhi's actions.

It's just pouring in, stirring, and scooping out in a plain and simple way.

After just two times, the soup became crystal clear with a light tea color, making it hard to imagine that this was a meat soup!
“It’s so amazing!”

Fu Chao stuttered, already shocked by this miraculous skill.

However, when he heard the discussions of the professional chefs around him, he realized that what he thought was shocking was nothing at all, or rather, he was not amazed at the right point.

"Oh my god, is it so easy to sweep the soup? Why is it that when I practiced, I swept it three or four times but still couldn't do it so thoroughly! Why is there such a big difference between my hands!"

"You are so stupid! Don't you know that the most important thing about stirring the soup is not the stirring, but the heat? How to control the temperature so that the minced meat can perfectly absorb the impurities is the most important thing! Look at the movements of Master Nan adjusting the heat, not a single movement is redundant!"

"I understand the principle, but I can't do it! Others can tell how hot they want the pot to be by just looking at it once, but it's useless even if I look at it a million times! It's over, it's over, it's not just the hands that are at odds with my eyes, why is there such a huge gap?"

"I told you to practice more, practice more, and you will know after practicing more!"

"I am 6 years older than Master Nan."

"…This is the gap between a genius and a mortal. There is no comparison."

"Don't just pay attention to the technique of sweeping the soup. Look carefully at how attentive and thorough Master Nan is in the details! Generally speaking, after the soup boils, the hemoglobin in the raw materials will be released first and appear in the first batch of foam. It is light brown in color and contains many impurities and quantities. It must be cleaned up in time. As the soup continues to boil, the second batch of foam will be released. This is the residue after the collagen and elastin are dissolved. It is white in color and not in large quantities. It must also be skimmed off as soon as possible. After that, the third batch of foam is the oil released from the decomposition of fat, but this layer must be retained to seal the heat of the soup, reduce the volatilization of water vapor, and inhibit the loss of nutrients in the raw materials. Wait until the soup is thoroughly cooked before skimming it off... I have taught you all these. Did you listen carefully? You are all so anxious and I don't know what you are busy with! These are simply the worst group of apprentices I have ever taught!"

"Master? Why are you here too?"

"..."
