After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 53 Salted Duck Eggs

During the remaining two days of setting up the stall, Jiang Li cooked home-cooked dishes, which received praise from new and old customers.

When the emotional customer learned that it was Jiang Li’s last day setting up the stall and he would not come again, he almost burst into tears on the spot.

Because it was the last day of setting up the stall, Jiang Li specially prepared twice as much of each item as before.

And just like that, in the end, we lived up to everyone's expectations and sold out everything.

When leaving, facing the reluctant gazes of the guests, Jiang Li also advertised his own restaurant.

“You can search for Yue Lai Restaurant on 吃了么. They sell boxed lunches there.”

"The price may be one or two dollars more expensive because of the delivery and packaging fees, but the portion and taste are exactly the same as what I sell."

"Because Yue Lai Restaurant is the restaurant I opened, the chef who cooks now is also my disciple, and the taste is the same."

"You can order it once to try it. If it tastes good, don't forget to give it a five-star rating."

With Jiang Li's departure, the city hospital also saw a surge in ordering takeout.

Zhuo Zhiming, who was busy in the store, suddenly felt the increase in orders. Thinking that this was the money he was about to earn, he became full of energy.

Jiang Li received good news from the system as soon as he returned home.

[Check that the host has sufficient points, whether to upgrade the system. 】

Jiang Li glanced at the points in his system backpack which amounted to just over 10,000, and was silent for a moment.

Then he was instantly filled with fighting spirit and answered silently in his heart.

"Yes."

The system's voice no longer had the soft tone it had before, and suddenly turned into a mechanical electronic sound.

[The system upgrade will take 24 hours, during which the system mall will not be open, please prepare in advance. ]

When Jiang Li heard this, he was shocked to find that the upgrade would take so long, 24 hours.

After asking whether the system backpack could still be used, Jiang Li began to make large purchases in the system mall.

She needed to prepare the ingredients needed for the restaurant in advance, just in case, but fortunately the stall setting up had already ended.

Otherwise, the remaining points will not be enough.

After completing the preparations, the system can be upgraded with confidence.

[System is being upgraded, countdown is about to begin, 23:59:59]

The rest has nothing to do with Jiang Li. The results of the auditions for "The Chef Contest" will also be announced tomorrow.

Today, Jiang Li can enjoy his rare leisure time.

She was standing in front of the refrigerator, thinking about what to cook in the evening.

Suddenly I received a call from the courier. It turned out to be from Grandma Zhou from the B&B.

Her relatives sent her a lot of duck eggs, so many that even the jars for pickling the eggs were not enough.

So Grandma Zhou specially sent some fresh duck eggs to Jiang Li, whether he wanted to pickle them or eat them in any other way.

There were also a few salted duck eggs pickled by Grandma Zhou mixed in, so that Jiang Li could taste how they tasted.

Jiang Li was overjoyed when she received these duck eggs. She really loves salted duck eggs.

No matter whether it is eaten directly, cooked into porridge, stir-fried dishes or made into soup, Jiang Li loves to eat it very much.

I took a photo of the express delivery and sent it to Zhou Yuan, and also sent a voice message to express my gratitude to Grandma Zhou.

After a while, she pickled the salted duck eggs and made a few jars of beef sauce, mushroom sauce and so on.

Let Grandma Zhou taste it and see if there is anything she needs to improve.

When Jiang Li saw the salted duck eggs, all his previous ideas about dinner were overturned.

She was going to eat duck egg and shrimp porridge tonight, using the salted duck eggs that Grandma Zhou had sent her. Of course, before making the porridge, she had to pickle the fresh salted duck eggs first.

Jiang Li picked out all the duck eggs, then cleaned them one by one and dried them.

Jiang Li took out a clean large pot without oil or water from the cabinet and added an appropriate amount of water into it.

Add bay leaves, peppercorns, aniseed, cinnamon and other seasonings and bring to a boil over high heat.

After it boils, Jiang Li adds coarse salt to the boiling seasoning water, stirs until the salt is completely dissolved, and then continues to cook for a few minutes.

After the brine has cooled, add an appropriate amount of high-proof liquor.

The preparation work is done, and the next step is the duck eggs.

Place the dried duck eggs layer by layer in a clean jar, then pour in cooled salt water, making sure the duck eggs are completely submerged in the salt water.

Completing this step means you are halfway to success. Finally, Jiang Li covers the jar and places it in a cool and dry place to marinate.

Generally speaking, duck eggs become salty but produce less oil after being pickled for one month.

Jiang Li prefers to eat food with more oil, so the duck eggs have to be pickled for 45 days. Not only will the eggs be saltier, but they will also produce more oil.

There are so many salted duck eggs, Jiang Li is going to eat them to his heart's content after they are pickled.

After processing the salted duck eggs, it was almost time to make dinner. Jiang Xu just called and said he would go home for dinner in the evening.

So Jiang Li planned to make more porridge and clean out the leftover ingredients in the refrigerator at the same time.

For example, if there is leftover luncheon meat from the hot pot you ate last time, cut it into small pieces.

There were also some lettuce leaves left over from the barbecue at home, which were also cut into pieces.

When you cut the salted duck eggs made by Grandma Zhou in half, they immediately reveal their mouth-watering color and taste.

After cutting it open, Jiang Li saw that the white eggshell was wrapped in grayish-white egg white, and in the center of the egg white was a rosy and slightly moist yolk.

Jiang Li couldn't help but took a small bite. The egg yolk was not too greasy, but had a soft texture that melted in the mouth.

And I have to say that Grandma Zhou’s salted duck eggs are pickled just right.

As soon as she cut it open, Jiang Li saw oil flowing out of the egg yolk, adding a lot of aroma and flavor to the salted duck egg.

Such delicious salted duck eggs are perfect to make porridge.

The last step is to process the prawns, leaving the shrimp heads and removing the shrimp shells and shrimp threads, then you can start cooking the porridge.

After pouring oil into the pot, add shrimp heads and ginger slices, stir-fry until shrimp oil comes out, then pour in an appropriate amount of water.

When it boils, take out the shrimp heads and pour in the soaked rice.

Cover the lid and simmer for a while, but during the process, Jiang Li needs to open the lid and stir it more often.

When the rice is almost cooked, add salted duck eggs, luncheon meat and shrimp.

Add seasonings and mix well. Finally, put the lettuce into the pot, stir and cook.

A bowl of steaming duck egg and shrimp porridge is ready. Jiang Li is drooling just by looking at it.

Jiang Li took a bite first, and found that the porridge tasted really great!
The fragrant porridge base is blended with the unique salty fragrance of salted duck eggs. You can taste the dense texture and slightly salty taste of the duck egg yolk in every bite.

The addition of fresh shrimps gives the whole bowl of porridge a taste of the ocean.

The fresh and tender texture of the shrimp and the smoothness of the porridge blend together, and every bite is full of satisfaction.

There are also Jiang Lijia’s luncheon meat and lettuce in it, which adds a surprise to the overall taste of the porridge.

Just like that, Jiang Li, who said he was just going to have a sip, drank a full bowl.

She put the remaining porridge on the stove over a low fire, and as soon as Jiang Xu got home, he could drink the steaming hot duck egg and shrimp porridge!
　The porridge made with salted duck eggs and shrimp is really delicious. If you like salty porridge, you must try it.
