Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 62 Zhang Xin’s circle of friends
When Li Rui makes pancakes, some of the students will add ham, shredded potatoes, and chicken fillets because of the different flavors they order.

Even if two baking pans are operated at the same time.

On average, it takes about a minute to make a set of pancakes.

Currently, breakfast is served in the eighth canteen of Jianghai University from 6:30 to 9:00.

So a total of one hundred and fifty minutes.

At most, there are only about one or two hundred sets of pancakes.

If you count the number of people who lined up at nine o'clock, it might be a little more.

But there are students who want to try it, and people who think it's delicious and want to come back again.

But there are far more than two hundred people.

Therefore, this set of pancakes has become a rarity in Jianghai University to some extent.

It even went on the confession wall on campus today.

"Submit your post! The pancakes at the Eighth Canteen are really delicious~ You must come and try them."
-
"The young man at the window seems quite handsome, but it's a pity that he's wearing a mask and can't be seen clearly."
-
“But there are really too many people queuing up.”
-
"If I want to wake up at 7:30, I need to wake up at 6:30 if I want to eat pancakes!"

The more people can’t buy it, the more curious they become.

But of course there are a lot of smart people on campus.

Zhang Xin had anticipated this.

So even though I didn't have a class in the first period, I still got up early today while my roommates were still sleeping soundly.

At around 6:40, I queued up and bought this pancake.

He has been in college for two years and has never gotten up so early.

After leaving the cafeteria, Zhang Xin was left alone with the pancake.

Eat while walking on campus.

The quiet campus in the early morning was a scene he had never seen before.

Autumn is a season that easily causes sadness.

Plus the loneliness and coldness of being alone, and the big pancakes from the Eighth Canteen.

Zhang Xin's emotions fluctuated.

As he walked, he unknowingly arrived at the Qingshui Lake of Jianghai University.

He sat down on a bench by the lake.

I took out my phone and edited a paragraph:
"The seasons change, and autumn has come again.
I came to the Qingshui Lake of Jianghai University again, but I didn’t know when I could reach the other side. ”

He posted a few pictures taken today on his Moments.

Then he got up and walked towards the dormitory.

No matter how sad you feel, you still need to get some sleep.

When I returned to the dormitory, my roommates were still asleep.

For fear of waking up his roommates, Zhang Xin moved very quietly.

He lay down on the bed, and because his stomach was full and the quilt was still warm, he fell asleep quickly.

I don’t know how long I slept.

Zhang Xin was woken up by his roommates.

The twisted smiling faces of his roommates appeared in front of him:
"Brother on the other side, when can you reach the other side?"

My roommates laughed.

This circle of friends has obviously become something out of place.

"It was sent at around 6:50. Brother from the other side, where have you been? It's time for class. Let's go."

"Brother Bi'an, you're not going to go rowing for class, are you?"

"Ha ha".
"Haha" Zhang Xin "Haha"

Zhang Xin was surrounded by the laughter of his roommates.

But at this moment, one of the roommates suddenly stopped laughing.

The classmate held the mobile phone in one hand and used two fingers of the other hand to enlarge a picture in Zhang Xin's circle of friends.

The expression on his face changed suddenly:

"Fuck, that's not right, guys. This kid went to buy pancakes."

Several other roommates came over.

Sure enough, I saw the mystery hidden in that half-body selfie.

“Brother Bi’an, oh no, Brother Xin, is this pancake really delicious?”

"Brother Xin, take me!"

Faced with his roommates’ changed expressions, Zhang Xin turned his head away.

A smug smile appeared on his lips. He thought to himself, I was really afraid that you guys couldn't see it.

In the evening, in the eighth canteen of Jianghai University.

Li Rui is boiling eggs.

These are the tea eggs prepared for tomorrow, and he came here specially in the evening.

At this time, a chef passed by and asked curiously, "Little brother, don't you only sell breakfast? Why are you here at this time?"

Li Rui replied: "Boil some tea eggs and soak them overnight. They will be perfect for selling tomorrow."

The master chef is the one who makes soy milk with soy milk powder.

He was a little puzzled:
"Why bother? Just soak it for a while in the morning. If you can't sell it all, you can sell it the next day. It will be left overnight."

Li Rui smiled and did not answer.

Continue to concentrate on cooking the eggs.

Whether it's high-end cuisine or home-cooked meals.

You have to be attentive.

Tea eggs are all about the taste.

If you don't let the flavor of the sauce soak into the egg in advance, when you peel off the eggshell, there will only be a few dark traces with a bit of flavor.

What's the difference between that and boiled eggs?

Why don’t students just buy boiled eggs?

The eggs put into the pot with cold water had been carefully cleaned by Li Rui in advance.

When you boil tea eggs with water for the first time, you don’t need to cook the eggs until they are cooked through, as they will be boiled with brine later.

This will make the egg yolk taste better and not too dry and rough.

Put the eggs in the pot and cook them for seven or eight minutes, then you can take them out.

At this time, the yolk of the egg is still runny.

After taking out the eggs, rinse them with cold water.

This will make the eggshell easier to peel.

In addition, Li Rui also specially selected eggs that had been stored in the cafeteria for a few days.

When an egg is just laid, the connection between the egg white and the eggshell membrane is too tight, making it difficult to peel. After a few days, the egg will lose some water, and the carbon dioxide will cause the pH value of the egg liquid to increase, which will reduce the viscosity of the eggshell membrane.

The eggs are easier to peel after being boiled at this time.

Boiled eggs are simple, but it’s the little details that make the process.

If you peel an egg, peel out the egg white of the eggshell and then use your fingernail to pick it out.

That would be really difficult for our college friends.

Set aside the eggs and prepare the marinade.

The ingredients for the marinade include five spices: peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, fennel and bay leaves, as well as ginger, onions and rock sugar.

Of course, there is also the indispensable tea.

The tea used in the cafeteria is cheap jasmine tea.

This tea is perfect for making tea eggs and can also provide a light jasmine aroma.

Put these ingredients into the pot, then add salt for seasoning, and light soy sauce and dark soy sauce for color.

Wait for the water to boil.

On the other side, Li Rui had already started cracking eggs with a small spoon.

Small cracks are knocked into the eggshells to give the tea eggs a marble-like texture, which is not only beautiful but also easy to eat.

Add cracked eggs into the pot.

Simmer on low heat for another two minutes and then turn off the heat. Let the eggs soak in the soup overnight and you can eat them the next morning.

Li Rui smelled the rich aroma from the pot and was looking forward to tomorrow's tea eggs.

When tomorrow morning comes, you can have one first.

at the same time.

In many student group chats at Jianghai University,

A similar topic appeared:

"It's not a big deal that I can't always buy pancakes. Does anyone have any ideas?"

"Breakfast is no longer available at 9 o'clock. What can we do?"

"The distance from the cafeteria window to the door is so short, and at nine o'clock, I was not even in line to get in."

"Hey, I have a good idea, let's do it together."
