Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 213: Flying Eggs? Intangible Heritage Dish!
the next morning.

Fonda Plaza, Boss Li’s shop.

"Boss, there are a lot of people here today."

The clerk couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the endless stream of diners since the restaurant opened.

Li Rui nodded. Logically speaking, the passenger flow on weekdays should not change much.

They've gotten used to it in recent days.

But there are a lot more customers coming today than in the past few days.

And they all asked for fried eggs.

"Boss, a bowl of wontons and a fried egg."

"I want the insomnia set meal, tomato and egg noodles, and two fried eggs."

"Two fried eggs, take away."

There were so many customers placing orders that the shop was running out of eggs.

"I'm sorry, everyone. We're out of eggs. We can't make omelettes."

The customers had painful looks on their faces:
"Boss, I really have insomnia. I didn't sleep all night."

"Yeah, me too. I was so hungry after watching your video."

Li Rui looked at the pitiful faces of the customers and said, "How about this, everyone order something else first, and I'll buy you some fried eggs later and make up for it, okay?"

"OK."

People agreed readily, and it wasn't at all obvious that their insomnia was fake.

Li Rui could only ask the clerk to buy some more eggs quickly.

"Xiao Han, please go to the supermarket and buy a box of eggs. Forget it, buy two boxes."

"Good boss."

The young man pushed the cart and ran towards the supermarket not far away.

At this time, two more customers came into the store. Xiao Han hurried past them, but they looked somewhat familiar and he didn't have time to take a closer look.

But the clerk Xiao Ma recognized the older gentleman.

"Are you Professor Chen?"

"Shh~"

Professor Chen was wearing a mask and made a gesture to Xiao Ma, as if he didn't want to be recognized here.

Xiao Ma nodded to Professor Chen, indicating whether he would make it public.

Professor Chen then asked about the shop's signboard for breakfast.

"Little girl, besides the two dishes from yesterday, is there anything else delicious in the store?"

Xiao Ma tapped his chin and said, "I recommend you try the Jianbing Guozi in our store. We also fry the fried dough sticks ourselves, so you can eat them without worry."

Professor Chen nodded.

"Okay, we'll take it away."

As an old professor who lectures at the podium and treats patients in the hospital, he doesn't mind showing his true face in front of people.

But no way,
His reaction on TV yesterday was really a show-stopper.

So much so that everyone in the unit group was talking about this old gentleman.

"I almost lost my reputation in my later years." Professor Chen whispered to his students.

His students were quite open-minded.
"Teacher, I think you can also consider changing your career path. Now that you are retired, you can enrich your life."

“You see, people really like you.”

Professor Chen frowned slightly. He is a relatively conservative person.

After graduating from university, I have been engaged in teaching, scientific research and medical treatment.

When other colleagues started to perform for other companies, he still insisted on his own piece of land.

At most, I would be a guest on a TV show as a science guest.

The car flipped over yesterday.

So I never thought about the issues raised by the students.

The student continued:

"Teacher, I think you have a very nice voice and rich knowledge of biochemistry. You can really consider being a food commentator."

"Don't you think you have a connection with this store?"

Professor Chen thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. I'll think about it."

Many of the customers who came to taste the food came after watching the video that went viral online yesterday.

The purpose of coming to the store is to try the fried eggs made by Boss Li.

Some customers will symbolically take a look at the menu before ordering.

Look at this,
But I found something very new on the menu. "Magic flying egg? What kind of egg is this?"

The customer was very curious.

So I ordered one to try.

The production of egg liquid is not complicated.

Beat the eggs into a bowl and add a small amount of salt to add flavor while stirring, and an appropriate amount of corn starch to increase the toughness of the eggs.

The seasoning sauce has been prepared in advance.

The original flavor is made from soy sauce, pepper and sweet bean sauce.

There is also salad tomato flavor.

How to make the flying egg fly beautifully is a test of skill.

When the egg skin was fried to 70% done, Li Rui put on food-grade gloves that felt like skin.

The production of flying eggs began.

He first grasped the egg skin in his hand, then gently swung his arm to the side of his body.

Use this force to stretch the egg skin.

Press your index finger against the center of the egg skin and apply force slowly.

Let the egg skin rotate on your fingers.

The golden egg shell shines brightly, sparkling under the light.

Rotation alone is not enough.
Also keep the egg skin away from your arms and allow it to have full contact with the air.

In the air, three ups and three downs.

Xiao Ma pulled Xiao Han back at this time, "Look, the boss is gesturing, it turns out he is practicing this, so amazing."

“The dishes are not only edible, but also ornamental and artistic.”

The production process of flying eggs also attracted the attention of customers queuing up to watch.

"Wow, what is this? It's so beautiful."

People were amazed as they watched the golden egg skin spinning rapidly in the air and finally falling steadily back into the pot.

"Intangible cultural heritage? It's a pity to be a chef with this skill."

"Great! Boss."

"Boss Li has some talent."

The egg skin was stretched and rotated in the air, and then fell back to Li Rui's fingertips. After a short stay, it returned to the pot.

Flip over and continue heating.

Then the sauce is applied and the egg skin is rolled into an egg roll shape.

It has rich toughness and needs to be pressed gently with a spatula to maintain this state.

Li Rui put the egg skin on a plate and handed it to the waiting customer:

"Here, your flying eggs are ready, please enjoy them slowly."

"thank you boss."

Amid the envious gazes of others, the customer found a seat with his breakfast and sat down.

The magic flying eggs are more than just a gimmick.

The principle is the same as the shaking of bamboo noodles in the air.

Under the action of centrifugal force from the inside to the outside, the toughness of protein macromolecules is greatly improved after high-speed rotation.

It tastes tender and chewy when eaten.

Although it is only a thin layer, the taste is very rich.

It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce wrapped in the egg skin has different temperatures, different textures, and different flavors.

The contrast makes the food very layered.

The aroma of the eggs themselves, paired with the prepared sauce, complements each other even better.

It has a strong salty and fresh flavor with a long aftertaste.

The customer had a satisfied and intoxicated smile on his face.

It makes people in the queue very curious.

"what about the taste?"

"Let me ask, is this flying egg delicious?"

The customer narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of mystery in his answer.

“This egg seems to move in your mouth.”

"Bite it, flick it, yes, it's enchanted."
