Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 122: Midnight snacks are just to satisfy appetite?

“Only six basic nutrients are needed to maintain human life.”

"These six nutrients are carbohydrates, fats, proteins, inorganic salts, water and vitamins."

In front of the wild wonton stall,
A middle-aged man said while ordering food.

This middle-aged man was dressed simply.
Messy hairstyle.

It can be seen that he has always lived a simple life.

He ordered the order.

The wonton stall owner was also a little confused.

The companion next to the middle-aged man explained to the stall owner:

"Boss, he's here"

As he spoke, he pointed to his head.

Li Rui nodded.
"understood."

"I'll add a few more leaves of lettuce. My wontons are made of pure meat."

"That's what he meant."

"Hiss," the companion replied, "That's about right. It's up to you to make the wontons as delicious as you want."

Then he added: "A few more skewers, um, two at first, spicy ones."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Li Rui started to get busy. Today's first wave of customers seemed a little tricky.

He is not very good at translation.

But he is still good at cooking wontons and grilling skewers.

Li Rui took out the skewers of meat.

When grilling, there is little difference between grilling one skewer and grilling ten skewers, so he said to the customers in line behind him:
"Are there any of you who want to barbecue?"

“I’ll bake it all at once.”

The line is very long.

The voices of reply came from behind the middle-aged man:
"Ten kebabs."

"Three skewers, too."

After collecting the skewers from several customers, while the skewers were waiting to be turned over in the oven,
He also put the wontons he had wrapped in advance into the pot.

Wontons take less time to cook.
It was difficult to put the two large wontons in a strainer, so Li Rui simply put them in together.

He gently pushed the colander and then closed the lid.

The two customers at the front of the line had their kebab order put on hold by the boss because the people in front of them had ordered a lot of kebabs.

Stand in their place.

You can see the location of the wonton pot, with white steam rising slowly from the holes.

Compared to the barbecue next to it,

The wontons in bone broth were a bit bland.

On the other side of the wonton stall, evenly sized skewers of meat were sizzling on the charcoal fire, giving off a burnt aroma of fat.

The high-temperature oil, as the young boss sprinkles the barbecue ingredients on it, stimulates a rich aroma.

This smell mixed with charcoal, grease, and seasoning,

Impress new customers.
As regular customers, they are not unfamiliar with the place.

In the evening, the boss's clothes were illuminated by the fire and cast a warm color.

Soon, the skewers seemed to be cooked to about 80% done.

The boss turned over the side sprinkled with seasoning.

Place on the side where the coals are not too hot.

He turned around and quickly took the wontons out of the pot.

The large portion of wontons slid down from the colander and filled the entire bowl.

It must taste very satisfying.

"Here, the wontons are ready."

The boss said to the strange middle-aged man and his companion.

After saying that, he quickly returned to the oven.

Continue with the previous operation.

In such a tense process, only by controlling the heat accurately enough can the process be done without any disorder.

"Look, this boss is so busy." The girl said to her best friend.

"Yes, when it's our turn later, order more."

Soon, the first batch of skewers came out of the oven.

The middle-aged man's companion took the skewers and sat back at the table.

"Well, don't you want to try it?"

Middle-aged man:

"But these are just for the sake of appetite."

“It’s the trap of consumerism.”

The companion curled his lips, picked up the beef skewer and put it into his mouth.

The beef topside is very tender and the surface is slightly charred after being grilled.

When you take the first bite of the meat skewer, you can feel the slightly firm touch with your lips, teeth and tongue.

But when you bite it, there is still plenty of juice in your mouth.

The small amount of oil fills every gap with its rich aroma.

The spicy flavor of the beef skewers is revealed from the first intimate contact between the meat and the mouth.

As a pain mixed with the spicy taste,

It tastes very enjoyable.

My companion took two bites of the meat skewers and took a sip of the wonton soup.

With delicious bone broth,

As a buffer for the lingering feeling.

"If you don't want it, I'll eat it all." The companion said, pointing at the skewers.

Next to the mouth of the companion,
There is still a slight grease residue.

The front end of the half-eaten skewer also showed a fresh and tender surface.

The middle-aged man swallowed.

I can no longer refuse the delicious food in front of me.

Holding the skewer in one hand and the spoon in the other, he began to enjoy it.

His companions looked at him with satisfaction.

"now it's right."

"You have gone from resisting consumerism to the other extreme of nihilism."

He has known the middle-aged man for a long time.

Sometimes he would utter a few words that people couldn't understand.

The middle-aged man answered while eating,
Slurred speech:

"That's not enough skewers. Buy some more and have another bottle of beer."

My companion pointed to the team next to him.

“Then you have to queue up again.”

When the middle-aged man joins the queue.

The two little girls who had come before had also come to the front of the team.

The boss's menu and business scope,

Always giving them surprises.

"Boss, what is this raw hot meat?"

Li Rui took out the raw materials for the hot pot meat——

The pork mince is more granular than the wonton filling.
Show them.

Then he said:

"If you haven't tried it, it's similar to hot pot, and the taste is very fresh."

The two girls exchanged glances.

"Then I'll add some to the wontons and try it."

"I want to join too."

"Okay, no problem." Li Rui replied.

After putting the wontons into the pot,
He then started to cook the raw and boiled meat in another pot.

The main purpose of boiling raw meat is to enjoy the freshness of the meat itself, so there is no need for complicated seasoning. A small amount of seasoning will be enough to add a base flavor.

At the bottom of the wonton soup spoon,
Add a small amount of salt and chicken stock.

Then place the minced pork on top of the spoon.

Put it into the pot with the spoon.
After entering the pot, add boiling bone broth to disperse the seasoning.
Use a colander to break up the minced pork.

Add a small amount of rice wine to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.

Then put the lid on the pot.

Let the high temperature of steam accelerate the maturation of minced meat.

Because the pork has been chopped,

Add the boiling bone broth and heat it on top of the boiling water in the pot.
Therefore, the cooking time of raw and blanched meat is not long.

It looked as if the meat had just been scalded with water.

But it was fully cooked.

Don't worry about this problem.

On the contrary, simple cooking methods test the quality of ingredients.

The umami taste of the meat itself is more important.

After the wontons were out of the pot and various condiments were added, Li Rui also poured the raw boiled meat on the wontons.

Two bowls of wontons are decorated with egg shreds, chopped green onions, seaweed, and dried shrimps.
Full color and flavor.
