Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 73 Welcome Again
Take about two taels of dough and wrap it with one and a half taels of red bean paste filling.

Then remove the excess dough on top.

Place it on the drawer cloth and press it flat.

This is the prototype of a fried cake.

The two aunts looked at Li Rui's skillful operation and couldn't help but admire:
"The young man is quite skilled."

"It looks simple, but I haven't learned it in all these years."

The two aunts spoke very nicely.

Li Rui smiled and put the fried cake into the pan.

The temperature of the fried cake when it is just put into the oil pan needs to be controlled at around 150 degrees to allow the fried cake to take shape.

After frying for two minutes, the fried cakes will float up from the bottom of the pan.

Then control the oil temperature to around 180 degrees and continue frying the cakes until cooked through.

The rectangular oil pan on the dining truck is deeper than the one used at home, and has a grate at the bottom, making it very convenient for frying food.

Li Rui turned the fried cake over from time to time with a focused look on his face.

Because his oil pan was placed on the food cart, it was a little higher than the ground, and the two aunts were not tall either.

If you want to see the fried cakes in the pan, you have to stand on tiptoe.

Aunt Liu stared at the fried cakes in the pan and said with a smile:
"Look at this little color, how pretty it is."

Aunt Chen didn't reply. She frowned and whispered to her companion, "Why is his oil so dark?"

Being so close, Li Rui certainly heard it too.

He explained:

"Auntie, this is not gutter oil. I use a mixture of peanut oil, soybean oil and sesame oil, so the color is a little darker. You can eat it with confidence."

Aunt Liu nodded and then complained about her old friend.

"You don't understand anything."

When the outer skin of the fried cake turns golden brown, it is cooked.

Li Rui took out the fried cakes and drained the oil.

Then he put the three pieces that the two aunts wanted into paper bags with openings on both sides with a clip and handed them to them.

Then he took out a piece for himself.

He reminded:

"Hold the edge of the bag, be careful of the heat."

"Hey, thanks, young man."

The golden, fluffy and crispy fried cakes just out of the pan are so tempting.

The aunts took the fried cakes and started tasting them immediately, not taking Li Rui's words to heart at all.

"Wow, hot, hot."

"huh, huh"

Li Rui wore slightly thicker food-grade gloves and was not afraid of the heat.

He took the fried cake directly in his hand.

First, pinch it gently twice.

The outer skin of the fried cake immediately made a crispy sound.

Then, Li Rui reached out and cut the fried cake in the middle.

The dark red and sticky bean paste filling is revealed under the golden shell.

The color is very attractive.

Li Rui blew on it and then bit it.

The crispy shell makes a "crunching" sound in the mouth as the teeth chew up and down.

Glutinous rice noodles are very soft and sticky.

The bean paste inside is still a little hot, but it tastes sweet and dense and very delicious.

On the other side, the two aunts also enjoyed their meal.

The person next to him asked, "You two are eating so deliciously."

"It's just out of the pot. It's delicious. Come and try it."

With them advertising, people near the park soon gathered around.

"Young man, give me two pieces of fried cakes."

"Oh, there's also the one with xylitol. I want this one with xylitol. Give me one."

Some people also smelled the aroma and asked about the roasted sweet potatoes:
“When will the sweet potatoes be ready?”

"The baked sweet potatoes will take a while, don't be anxious."

Baking sweet potatoes requires the starch in the sweet potatoes to be slowly broken down into sugar, so the temperature in the iron bucket must be controlled and slowly raised to give the sweet potatoes more time to saccharify. This is a sweetness that is accumulated over time.

There is no point in being anxious.

There are many people walking in the park.

A food truck like this surrounded by so many people also attracted people who love fun.

More and more people are buying fried cakes and waiting for sweet potatoes.

Since most of the customers are elderly, and the task only requires the number of people.

Li Rui sometimes has to remind him:
"Uncle, you can't eat too much of this fried cake. Just one or two pieces are enough to taste it. If you eat too much, you won't be able to digest it."

The old man finished one piece in no time and found it delicious, so he ordered four more.

At this time, I am waiting for the remaining few pieces in the pot to fry.

He listened to Li Rui's words.
The words "Is it your business?" almost came out of my mouth.

But listening to the tone of the young boss's voice, it sounded just like his own daughter.

I also understood the boss's good intentions.

The old man then said, "I'll buy it back and let my wife try it."

Then he reminisced about his youth, "When I was young, I ate fried cakes in two bites each."

Soon, the sweet potatoes were cooked.

Li Rui first gave it to the aunt who had been waiting for a long time.

"Auntie, choose a bigger one or a smaller one."

Most of the sweet potatoes Li Rui picked were around one pound, and after being baked they would weigh about seven or eight ounces, but there were still differences in size.

Aunt Liu said, "Let's have a big one."

Li Rui helped her get a bigger one, weighed it and put it in the bag, and reminded her again: "Auntie, be careful of the burns this time."

Aunt Liu took the roasted sweet potato with a smile.

The scales Li Rui uses now are all accurate to the pound, and he sells by the pound in both exact and exact quantities.

He originally wanted to give this aunt a zero.

But now many elderly people have learned to pay with mobile phones, so Aunt Liu just scanned the code and paid happily.

After Aunt Liu, several people who were waiting nearby also came over to choose.

When the sweet potatoes are baked, some of the skins have burst and become soft and stick to the sweet potato flesh that has shrunk after losing moisture.

The molasses left from inside is roasted to a caramel color.

"Oh, I haven't seen anything so well grilled in years."

“I remember it used to be a tin bucket.”

"Nah, there are also people using raw material barrels from Jianghai Chemical. They are all poisonous."

"It smells so good, these sweet potatoes are roasted."

Aunt Liu took the roasted sweet potatoes and originally wanted to take them home to eat.

But I couldn't help but eat outside.

She gently peeled off the skin of the baked sweet potato.

The bright red sweet potato flesh inside is revealed.

The sweet aroma wafts from the sweet potatoes and it tastes great.

But as a seasoned foodie, she naturally would not give up the delicious taste of roasted sweet potatoes.

She tore off the piece, still with the sweet potato skin on, and brought it to her mouth.

Eat the sweet potato flesh that has been roasted well on the bottom layer.

The sweetness with the taste of caramel went straight to her heart.

The freshly baked sweet potato was still steaming hot. She learned her lesson and took a careful bite this time.

Roasted sweet potatoes taste soft, sweet and delicious.

Moreover, the sweet potato varieties are well selected, without any disgusting tendons.

Very friendly to elderly people like her.

After eating a few bites, she couldn't help but praise:
"This young man is quite good. He is young, but his skills are really good."

Ask Lao Li to come over and try it tomorrow.

Li Rui was soon surrounded by many customers.

The delicious food also spread quickly among the social networks of the elderly.

They have more primitive means of communication.

Through word of mouth, the news spread that "there is a small cart in Xincun Community Park that sells delicious fried cakes and hot sweet potatoes."
