Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 89: The Rising Star in the Dark Cuisine World
On September 9, the number of new customers of Li Rui Snacks was 27.

This also meant that he completed the task in late September a few days ahead of schedule.

At this time, only the task of providing recovery meals for Qiao Qiao was in progress.

It doesn't take much effort to cook a meal for a little girl.

Whether it was out of Li Rui's personal wish, or the system's reward and compensation from Qiao Qiao's parents, he was happy to do so.

the following few days.

He plans to take this time to rest and prepare for the tasks during the Golden Week in October.

By the way, study the new dishes that were unlocked before.

The next morning.

Fangke Metropolis, Li Rui’s home.

The mission rewards in late September were distributed as scheduled.

But Li Rui didn't expect that
The legendary chef's knife looks so ordinary.

The most common iron blade is combined with the most common wooden handle.

When I was a child, the master who sharpened scissors and kitchen knives sharpened kitchen knives with better craftsmanship than this knife.

Even to say that this kitchen knife is mediocre is a bit of an understatement towards modern craftsmanship.

Li Rui originally thought that this kitchen knife, which was so easy to use in the hands of the chef, was a magical weapon made of some kind of iron from outer space.

I didn't expect it to be so ordinary.

However, when he actually grasped the handle of the knife and was about to cut something to try.

An indescribable feeling suddenly flooded into Li Rui's mind.

After a long time, he narrowed his eyes slightly, savoring the aftertaste.

This feeling is a more transparent experience than strengthening physical and mental strength.

Heaven and earth are one with me,

I make everything into delicious food.

Is it Tao?

Li Rui felt that he was taking a step towards a higher realm.

Except for the kitchen knife.

A new achievement was also achieved [Old Town Old Flavor]

The reward is 20w cash.

Although I have gained some insights into the Tao, worldly rewards are equally important.

Because there are still ongoing tasks.

Today I recommend a new recipe - fish porridge.

Qiao Qiao had a very appetizing appetite for yesterday's healthy lean meat porridge, and the clerk also gave it a good review. In addition, at the request of Qiao Qiao's parents, Li Rui will still make a pot and send it over today.

After buying ingredients at the market, he came to Fangda Shop with his butcher knife.

The fish porridge is similar to yesterday's vegetable and lean meat porridge.

But fresh black fish fillet is also added.

The black fish has been processed by the enthusiastic stall owner.

After Li Rui took the black fish home, he split it in half and separated the fish bones from the fish meat.

Chop the fish bones into small pieces and use them to make soup later.

The fish meat is cut into thin slices and soaked in hot porridge before being served.

Holding the kitchen knife, Li Rui really felt at ease.

After cleaning the fish meat and fish fillets, start marinating the fish fillets.

Add salt and pepper to the fish fillets, mix well, then add egg white, shredded ginger and cooking oil, mix well and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan, put the fish bones and fish head into the pan and fry over low heat.

After both sides of the fish bones turn yellow, pour in clean water.

Reduce heat to medium and bring to a simmer.

The protein, fat and cooking oil in the fish meat are emulsified during the process of cooking over medium heat.

The soup made in this way has a rich aroma and a naturally tender white color.

It is different from the technological advancement of Sanhua Evaporated Milk.

After the fish soup is cooked, remove the fish bones.

Next, start cooking the porridge.

The method of cooking porridge is similar to yesterday.

But the fish porridge needs to be cooked until it is thick, which takes a little longer.
The fish soup should also be added to the pot in several batches after the water in the pot evaporates.

Wait until the minced meat and celery in the fish porridge are soft and rotten, then start seasoning.

Add a little salt and preserved vegetables as the base flavor.

Chicken essence and fish sauce enhance the flavor.

After seasoning, add the fish fillets into the pot.

Then turn off the heat and use the residual heat in the pot to cook the fish fillets.

The fish is sliced ​​thinly and cooks easily.

Moreover, the casserole has a strong heat preservation effect. Even if the fire is turned off, the temperature in the pot is still very high, which is enough to cook the fish.

After making the fish porridge, Li Rui went to the next door and called Wang Aiquan. "Brother Wang, do you want to drink porridge today? Fish porridge."

"It's embarrassing to eat and drink for free every day. We are all businessmen, so let me buy one bowl."

Wang Aiquan felt a little embarrassed.

Of course, a bowl of porridge is nothing, but Li Rui has his own plans.

"We are neighbors, so drinking a bowl of porridge is nothing, but I have a small favor to ask you to help me."

Wang Aiquan waved his hand and said, "This is nothing. Go ahead and tell me what you think."

Li Rui replied: "I want you to help me try out new dishes."

"Oh my," Wang Aiquan's eyes widened, "Is there such a good thing?"

Li Rui nodded. "Didn't I sell pancakes at school a while ago? I have a new idea. I wonder if it will work."

"What are you talking about, brother? I haven't even had the chance to eat pancakes. Just go ahead and make them. I'll try to help you." Wang Aiquan was very happy.

"Okay, Brother Wang, please wait for a moment. Come in and sit down. I have prepared all the ingredients."

Although the first floor of Li Rui's shop is mainly a kitchen, two tables are still reserved.

Wang Aiquan was waiting at his seat.

Li Rui turned and went into the kitchen.

He unlocked the seafood pancake last time, and this time he happened to use fish fillets, so he thought of trying to make it together.

When a chef evaluates his own dishes, he will often be biased.

A caring neighbor like Wang Aiquan is the most suitable person.

In the kitchen, Li Rui became busy.

The batter for the seafood pancake is made with cuttlefish ink and is black in color.

Li Rui also coated the kelp slices with batter and fried them while the porridge was cooking.

It looks a bit thin and crispy.

Li Rui kept a few slices of fish fillet.

Outside the kitchen, Wang Aiquan was curious about what Li Rui's new dish was.

He looked inside.

Li Rui in the kitchen was spreading a pool of black stuff on the pan.

This thing, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a good thing.

Thinking of what Li Rui said, "Everything has been prepared in advance", "Sit down in the house first"

Wang Aiquan suddenly felt a little timid.

"Brother Li, why can't your door be opened?"

"I just closed the outer door by accident. I'll open it for you later."

Soon, Wang Aiquan, who was a little restless, was served the seafood pancake specially prepared for him.

On the plate, it was served with the black stuff.
It is a bowl of fragrant fish porridge.

The color of the fish porridge is obviously more normal than the other things around it.

Wang Aiquan picked up the bowl and drank.

"Brother Wang, why are you only drinking porridge?" Li Rui asked, "Didn't you promise to help me taste the food?"

Wang Aiquan is a man of his words, and he remembered the promise he had just made.

He picked up the black thing and looked at it carefully.

This thing called a pancake has a layer of egg liquid on the outside.

But it is still difficult to cover up the dark background.

Inside the pancake, you can see something like crispy crackers and fried fish fillets.

But no matter how I look at this crispy food, there seems to be something wrong.

Wang Aiquan came closer and smelled it:
"You know what, it smells pretty fresh."

Li Rui smiled and urged him: "Try it quickly."

Wang Aiquan was also unambiguous. He opened his mouth wide.
In the end I only took a small bite.

The crust with cuttlefish ink has an unexpectedly sweet taste. (Cuttlefish ink is a melanin protein)

With the evenly applied seafood sauce, it tastes quite good.

His frown also relaxed.

"Not bad, Brother Li."

Then he took another bite with the ingredients inside.

This time, he could taste the crispy kelp wrapped under the crispy shell.

The taste is moderately salty and fresh, with very distinct layers of texture.

Next came the pan-fried fish fillet, which was equally delicious.

The whole pancake is dominated by umami flavor, although it is fish fillets from river fish, it is not enough to be called a complete seafood pancake.

However, the processing and matching of several ingredients are very good, and the sauce, which is mainly seafood sauce and supplemented with sweet noodle sauce, has a dark appearance.

It tasted surprisingly good.

"Oh, damn, it's quite delicious."

Wang Aiquan commented.
