Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 121 Xiaodong's Big Eyes
Four o'clock in the morning,

Street wontons aren’t necessarily for breakfast.

People who eat at this time don’t necessarily wake up early, but because they get off work late.

When traveling in the city,
I am often curious about when the mysterious projects behind the blue fences on the side of the road will be completed.

People often complain about traffic congestion.

Complain about patching things up everywhere.

But late at night, there are many workers behind these fences, hoping that the repairs will be completed quickly so that they can get their wages earlier.

The construction site where Lao Liu worked was reported for disturbing residents with noise.

The bulldozers and excavators were not allowed to work.

So he finished the work at hand and didn't wait any longer.

So he rode the bicycle he bought for 30 yuan and traveled through the tall buildings in Jianghai City.

As he rode, he felt a little hungry.

At this time, Lao Liu saw a wonton vendor on the side of the road.

A whole bowl of wontons?

It's hard to find breakfast at this time.

He rode his bike straight to the stall.

"Boss, give me a bowl of wontons."

Li Rui was actually about to close his stall.

A customer just left his bag here and he waited for a while.

In response to the uncle's question, Li Rui replied:
"Sorry, uncle, the wontons are sold out."

"So what else do you have to eat here?"

Old Liu looked at the lamb skewers, beef skewers and other items on the menu, which were already crossed out, and the prices obviously did not meet his needs.

I feel like the instant noodles in clay pot are not as practical as the two dollars and fifty cents pack of instant noodles you make yourself.

Li Rui saw his hesitation.
"I'll give you a discount on the instant noodles. I'm just about to close the stall."

There are many things to pay attention to when it comes to the last order in the street stall business.

It is common to buy everything and give discounts.

After a while, the steaming instant noodles were served to Lao Liu's dining table.

"It smells pretty good."

Old Liu, who had been hungry for a long time, soon started to feel hungry.

It was just an ordinary bowl of instant noodles with an egg and some kelp and lettuce. It didn't make Lao Liu feel that it was so delicious.

But it was enough to make Lao Liu marvel:

"This soup is so delicious, why doesn't it taste like this when I cook it?"

Li Rui explained with a smile: "This is cooked in bone soup."

"I thought so. So that's how it is." Old Liu seemed to be suddenly enlightened.

He usually makes instant noodles, but sometimes he can’t even get boiling water.

The difference between the instant noodles in front of him, whose soup had already run out, and the ones he made himself was too obvious.

The bone broth has a very mellow flavor, which makes ordinary instant noodles feel a little different.

"Can I have some more soup, young man?"

"Row."

After Li Rui packed up, it was already a little "late", so he drove the dining truck directly back home.

The number of guests entertained today reached 372 people.

Although most of the customers were concentrated in the first half of the night, the constant stream of customers still kept him busy for a while.

But seeing how much people like the food I make,

Li Rui felt very accomplished.

Regular customers bring in new customers, and the lively atmosphere belongs to the first half.

And after the early hours, it feels great to provide a bowl of warm soup to hungry people passing by.

After returning home,
Li Rui checked the system settlement.

New hidden achievement achieved, [Linger]

The reward for this new achievement is what is known as the “camera effect of a food blogger with millions of followers”, which integrates smarter camera and photo functions on the phone.

Li Rui received the reward.
I turned the phone over and took a look.

There were lenses from Leica, Zeiss, Sony, and Canon, all big and small, lined up in a row.

Small print of various brands, "telephoto, short focal length, ultra wide angle"

The back is almost full. Li Rui looked at the pile of mobile phone cameras and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Wow, is this the direction of future mobile phone evolution?

At this time, Xiao Dong's voice also sounded.
It blinked its big eyes and said, "Xiaodong has completed the upgrade. Come and try the new features."

Li Rui sat on the sofa and turned on the camera.
Then he called the cat at home.

"Mimi, come here~"

Sanhua is very cooperative and comes when called.

It walked with a cat-like gait and appeared very graceful in the camera.

She looks like a real mom.

The fat orange one jumped onto the cat climbing frame and stood far away, looking like someone who had been cheated.

"Come here Fatty Orange, I'm not going to put you in the freezer."

"Meow-"

The tone is very straight.

Even if you don't understand cat language, you can roughly guess what it means.

Li Rui smiled and touched Sanhua, then checked the video he had just shot.

The degree of restoration is very high, the colors are bright, and the movements are vivid.

And when he was shooting, he found that even if he was not operating the phone.

The images captured by the camera can also move along with the flowers.

It is indeed a very convenient feature.

Li Rui also opened a video account himself, and this function will come in handy soon.

In addition to this achievement.

Wontons have also been upgraded——

Added a portion of raw blanched meat.

The ingredient is front leg meat, and the condiments are very simple, among which rice wine is particularly recommended.

In the afternoon, at the Fonda Plaza shop.

Li Rui first went to look for Wang Aiquan who lived next door.

"Brother Wang, do you have rice wine for sale?"

At present, Jianghai City still has more liquor and beer, but in recent years, some rice wine brands have been getting better and better.

It has a low alcohol content, unique flavor, and has gained a wider audience.

This is not uncommon in some liquor stores.

Wang Aiquan knows Li Rui's work.

Based on his understanding of Li Rui, he immediately judged: "You definitely didn't buy it to drink."

Li Rui nodded, "For cooking."

Wang Aiquan stood up, took out a large jar from the counter and handed it to Li Rui.

Compared with various well-known liquors, the price of rice wine itself is not high.

Wang Aiquan even recommended a product that is both good quality and inexpensive.

"How about this?"

Li Rui smiled and replied, "Better than cooking wine."

Wang Aiquan also laughed when he heard this, "Of course, can you drink cooking wine?"

Two talents from different professions, in the intersection field,

Sparks flew.

The main difference between rice wine and cooking wine is that
Huangjiu is the product of fermentation of cereals and grains. Due to the special distillation method, as the temperature rises and the water content decreases, the color deepens, hence the name Huangjiu.

It can be drunk directly at the table.

Cooking wine is a product made by condiment companies that buy rice wine and then add various other condiments and alcohol to it.

Although it has alcohol content, it cannot be drunk as wine.

Comparing the two, cooking wine has a stronger flavor, but its aroma is weaker.

In some dishes where the original flavor of the ingredients needs to be preserved, using cooking wine will interfere with the cooking.

The effect of rice wine and cooking wine in the process of blanching and removing the fishy smell is still very obvious.
A common principle is used.

Various fishy substances are dissolved in ethanol (alcohol) and can evaporate with high temperature.

But when making raw blanched meat, you can taste the freshness of the meat.

At this time, only rice wine can be used.
