SS-level: Stomach memory bar.

In the following days, Su Chen had specially observed the reactions of the employees and the old men when eating big meat buns and stir-fried noodles.

The reason why SS-level can be evaluated as a stomach memory bar is not to say that SS-level food is much more delicious than S-level food.

For ordinary people, the difference is not so obvious that you can feel it as soon as you eat it.

The most obvious and prominent feature of SS-level food is that it has no shortcomings!

Every SS-level food seems to be natural. Whether it is the taste, flavor, or the complementarity between the ingredients, it gives people a feeling that it should be like this.

Therefore, people who can taste SS-level food will subconsciously eat and eat again, and they will feel that they are not satisfied no matter how much they eat, so it will be evaluated as a stomach memory bar by the system.

Directly expand your memory!

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Cui Yufen, the old man who brought twenty apprentices to vent the anger of his junior brother, the female hero known as the Iron Man of Chinese cuisine!

She rolled a piece of fried golden and crispy elbow meat with a lotus leaf pancake, and then wrapped it with a small piece of scallion, a specialty of Shandong Province, dipped in some noodle sauce.

The noodle pancake was first rolled up, and then the bottom was folded, which tasted a bit like roast duck.

"Yufen, are your teeth okay? If not, I can taste it for you. I'll know what's wrong with it after another bite."

Cui Yufen looked at Lu Yongliang beside her with contempt, "No need."

This old guy is addicted to eating. I asked you to help me a little, and you are begging for food. Isn't it a slap in my face?

Cui Yufen was very unhappy. She pinched the rolled elbow and carefully stuffed about one-third of it into her mouth.

It should be said that her teeth have been a bit bad in recent years.

I have been trying to avoid eating things like big meat pancakes and green onions. If I encounter the kind of green onions that can't be chewed, it will be really painful.

If I encounter a slightly tough piece of meat, the teeth will be filled with meat after one bite, and it will take some time to deal with it.

If it weren't for Old Seventeen's injustice, she really wouldn't be happy to eat such a big dish.

Gah~

After taking a bite, the paste on the surface of the elbow was bitten into pieces through the pancake, making a very pleasant cracking sound.

Another bite.

Huh?

Cui Yufen remained calm on the surface, but the speed of chewing in his mouth unconsciously increased a bit.

Where is the meat?

Every time he chewed, he couldn't taste the taste of meat. Instead, the pancake and the outer layer of crispy skin tasted full of meat!

After chewing a few more times, the taste of meat finally came from between his teeth.

'This is completely different from what I imagined. '

Cui Yufen took another third bite with some doubts.

This time, her feeling was more obvious. It turned out that it was not that there was no meat, but when she chewed, the elbow meat inside had turned into gravy and was perfectly absorbed by the puff pastry and the dough!

The slight meaty feeling in the back of the mouth was the remaining lean meat in the elbow meat, but it only brought a little meaty feeling and then easily disappeared in the mouth.

Wonderful!

When Cui Yufen was a teenager, she followed her master in the kitchen to learn skills. She dare not say how many famous dishes she can make with more than 50 years of Shandong cuisine skills, but the famous dishes she has eaten are unmatched by most people.

This pot-roasted elbow, from the state banquet chef to the new apprentice, she has tasted all kinds of them, and all the finished products are the same.

But the only one she tasted now.

That was the first time in her life!

"This elbow" Cui Yufen looked at Su Chen, "Isn't it made by traditional methods?"

She was very sure that if it was made by traditional methods, this elbow meat would definitely not have this taste, and it would definitely not taste like this.

After eating the whole thing, the aroma of meat stood out, which was the unique aroma of the elbow meat. The aroma of the seasoning remained in the back of her mouth, which was also what surprised her.

Su Chen said, "This pot of roasted elbow uses the traditional method. Maybe" he looked at Lao Shiqi on the other side, "maybe what you are using now is not the traditional method."

Hiss!

All the chefs present took a breath of cold air.

Traditional method, he actually said that what we use is not the traditional method?

If the method in Master Cui's hands cannot be called the traditional method, then what can be regarded as traditional?

Lao Shiqi was very puzzled, "Boss Su, then how do you make the so-called traditional method?"

Su Chen looked at Lao Shiqi with a little playfulness, just chuckled, but did not speak.

After saying that, Lao Shiqi was confused for a moment before realizing his problem, "Sorry"

Who would come up and ask how someone's specialty is made?

Whether to publish or not is entirely the will of the maker himself, but this thing cannot be asked by others.

Cui Yufen ate three or four more pieces in a row, and only stopped when there were only some scraps of pork elbow left on the plate.

‘Didn’t I come to Wu to eat? Why did you eat first? ’

‘It’s all because Old Seventeen didn’t learn the skills well enough! I have to use my trump card next! ’

Cui Yufen wiped the oil stains from his mouth, “Although the pastry for the first dish was not very good, I must admit that Boss Su’s cooking for these two dishes is very high, better than my apprentice. I wonder what dishes will be served next?”

Before Su Chen could speak, He Shuting complained angrily, "It's not all your fault! The food should have been served by now, but I had to ask the boss to come out. Now it's better, there's no food left!" "

Su Chen turned his head slightly and said, "Shu Ting!"

"Boss" He Shuting was scolded by Su Chen, with a look of grievance on her face.

"Well said!" Of course, the second half of the sentence was said by Su Chen in a low voice, which made He Shuting extremely happy.

Cui Yufen, on the other hand, didn't care. It was still early. It was only around ten o'clock in the morning when they came to the store. It only took half an hour after the two dishes were finished.

It's normal for birthday parties to have fun from noon to afternoon. The days are not long, but the nights are still long.

"It doesn't matter." Cui Yufen waved his hand, "I wonder what dishes Sula Ban will prepare next?"

Su Chen thought for a while.

If Cui Yufen lets himself go back at this time and seizes the time to serve the dishes, it means that this matter is over. Everyone should finish the dishes quickly and celebrate this birthday, and it will be over.

But what does it mean now?

What is it called? What dish is next?

Are you going to fight me to the end?

Then

Su Chen grinned and said, "For the third dish, we are about to prepare the nine-turn large intestine."

This is one of Su Chen's specialties. There are nearly twenty dishes, and the first three are all SS-level dishes.

From now on, almost all of them will be S-level dishes.

No matter what, let's throw a king bomb first and shock the opponent!

Cui Yufen's eyes lit up when he heard about the Nine-turn Large Intestine, "Oh? The Nine-turn Large Intestine? Then I would like to ask, which school makes Boss Su's Nine-turn Large Intestine? Maybe I can teach you this teacher My father is still an old acquaintance.”

Hehe, Su Chen felt that it was too hard to talk to Master Cui. Every word he said was a test, a crazy test!

For these people, they always like to study the inheritance of some sect, and this nine-turn large intestine happens to be an example of a dish that is very particular about the sect.

Su Chen found two preparation methods in famous recipes.

The SS-level large intestine he produced combines the strengths of these two production methods and discards their respective shortcomings.

Since Cui Yu asked separately, it means that the two SS-level dishes still can't convince each other. Then you have to talk about the sect's inheritance. Su Chen really wants to talk to them about it today.

"I don't have a master, but this Nine-turn Large Intestine was indeed made by an ancestor, and I got it by chance. If Master Cui is interested, you might as well go to the kitchen, and you can give me some pointers on what my junior did wrong. "

The smile on Cui Yufen's face froze, and his calm tone just now suddenly turned harsh, "Haha. Brother, you go watch and learn."

The second senior brother was lowering his head and chewing on the scraps on the plate when he was caught off guard by the master's order.

"Ah? Shall I go?"

Cui Yufen glared at him with hatred, "Didn't you communicate with that guy in Lu Province for a while a few days ago? Now you're not happy to let you learn more?"

"Oh!" The second senior brother stood up reluctantly, "Okay then."

Among the twenty apprentices Cui Yu was assigned, the second one was the most different from the others.

Most of the other people are famous chefs in major restaurants, or at least the owners of their own restaurants.

Only the second child, who became a disciple of Cui Yu relatively early, learned a lot of good skills, especially the nine-turn large intestine, which can be said to be famous among the chefs in Shandong Province.

But the second child, Zhang Heping, is not famous at all in the chef circle. At most, only some old guys know that he is such a famous person. The main reason is that after the second child worked for more than ten years, he found that he did not like cooking at all. He just loves to eat.

After the Internet developed, the second senior brother directly quit his job in a restaurant and chose to join the Internet. But he was different from other food bloggers. He said he was playing on the Internet, but in fact he found a job for himself. An excuse to eat!

Flying around the country all day long, flying to one place to live for a few months, trying all the famous dishes and snacks in this place, and then go to the next place.

In the past ten years, the second child has basically eaten most of Xiaguo, but he has never been to Jingzhou, because he knows that Jingzhou is a food desert.

Cui Yufen couldn't do anything about the second child's character. He could only call the second child to come back and help him occasionally when there was an important banquet that required cooking nine turns of large intestine.

In the words of the older generation, it is a great loss for Shandong cuisine that Zhang Heping, the second oldest, failed to show off his skills, especially the nine-turn large intestine. Looking at the current Shandong cuisine gang, it is also a big loss. Zhang Heping can do pretty well on his own.

other people?

Basically, they are just making up the numbers, just to fool ordinary people.

Cui Yufen asked Zhang Heping to watch in the kitchen for another reason.

It stands to reason that boss Xiao Su can just prepare it and serve it, so why would he take the initiative to invite others to watch in his kitchen?

It's very simple, this is to confront yourself!

I'll let you taste it, but you won't be convinced. Okay, I'll let you see how I do it. There must be something that convinces you!

Cui Yu is not convinced, why do you let me go to see it? Not only am I not going, but I also won’t let senior brother Liu Fu go. I’ll send someone over to have a look. First of all, it’s a professional counterpart. You, Boss Su, are going to have a hard time meeting Zhang Heping.

Secondly, if the second brother went to the kitchen to watch, it would be okay if he lost his share. After all, he was not a chef in a restaurant, so he had nothing to worry about. It would be a good thing if he could defeat Su Chen.

No matter how you calculate it, Cui Yu will earn every cent!

Zhang Heping wiped away the debris and oil stains on his mouth and said, "Boss Su, please."

Su Chen didn't bother with Cui Yu's behavior and turned around and returned to the kitchen. Since inheritance was mentioned, Su Chen really had something to say this time.

"Senior Brother Zhang, do you know that there is a senior teacher with the same surname as you in Jinan, named Jixing?"

"Zhang Jixing?" The second senior brother stood in the kitchen, thinking hard for a long time, "I don't think I have ever heard of this person."

Su Chen laughed twice, took out the fat intestines that had been boiled in clean water before, put them back into the cold water to clean them, and then cut them into six-quarter-long pieces.

Zhang Heping watched Su Chen cutting vegetables and felt that the fat in the sausage seemed to be a little lacking.

According to his understanding of this dish, the sausage must be fat enough and oily enough, so that it tastes delicious!

Just watching Su Chen put the wok on high heat, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to burn oil for cooking, but talked to Zhang Heping lightly, as if he was chatting with an old friend.

"You know Donglu Restaurant, right?"

Zhang Heping pondered slightly, "I know this. It was the largest restaurant in Lixia City a hundred years ago, and I have been to the old location."

Speaking of which, Zhang Heping is not sleepy!

"It's so grand. There are two courtyards on the east and west sides. It's the largest courtyard on Furong Street. The VIP building in the backyard is next to the Wangfu Pond. I also heard that the carp at Donglu Restaurant is placed in the Wangfu Pond. Raised.

In the early years, when a distinguished guest ordered fish, the boat owner from Daming Lake tied a line to his harpoon, and he could stick the harpoon on the fish's head while standing on the second floor window. How awesome! "

These stories were all told to Zhang Heping by the master chefs when he was studying in Jinan. Before, he only thought this restaurant was awesome!

But I don’t know what Boss Su’s intention is when he says this.

Su Chen nodded, "At that time, Donglu Restaurant's main business was Jiaodong seafood and Lixia flavor, and it also hosted banquets and wedding banquets. At that time, their banquet chef was named Zhang Jixing, and his two most famous dishes were Furong Chicken Slices The nine-turn large intestine I made today is based on Master Zhang’s method.”

Zhang Heping suddenly took a breath, "Do you have any relationship with this Master Zhang's ancestor?"

"That's not true." Su Chen smiled, "Didn't I say that I got it by chance."

After that, Su Chen added some boiling water to the pot, and after the water boiled, he boiled the processed fat intestines again.

Then add 5 cents of lard and 5 cents of sugar to the pot, stir-fry over low heat while chatting with Zhang Heping.

"Master Zhang's nine-turn large intestine is different from traditional Shandong cuisine, but it is oily, fresh in color, and has all five flavors. It was because of this dish that the warlord Han Fukju served his son at the Donglu Restaurant."

Is there such a thing?

Zhang Heping felt that his strange knowledge had increased again.

"After the fall of Jinan in 1937, the Donglu Restaurant was renamed the New East Asia Restaurant. It was confiscated by the government after the victory of the war. After that, the restaurant ceased operations and Mr. Zhang disappeared."

The reason why Su Chen said this was that he really wanted to talk to these people about the issue of inheritance.

on the other hand

In fact, every time Su Chen learns a dish from a famous recipe, if he encounters a dish with any allusions, those past events and images will appear in his mind like a movie.

Given this opportunity, Su Chen felt that it was necessary to promote the things left by Mr. Zhang Jixing, and it was considered as a small effort.

If one day in the future this method of making large intestine is recognized by most people, he would rather see the creator, Zhang Jixing, than the creator, Su Chen.

When Zhang Heping heard this story, he gasped one after another. It was incredible!

There is still such a thing as this Nine-turn Large Intestine. Donglu Restaurant has a history of a hundred years ago, and the little memories now are sealed in the minds of the older generation.

Now that he heard Boss Su's dictation, Zhang Heping felt extremely emotional. When he looked at the young man in front of him, his mentality had undergone earth-shaking changes.

‘To be able to receive such an inheritance, Boss Su is by no means an ordinary person! ’

‘He said he has no family and no sect. This must be a pretense and absolutely a lie! ’

‘Boss Su’s master must be an expert hermit, right? Well, I'll have some free time later, so I have to find out more about it! ’

While talking, the lard and sugar mixture in the wok slowly turned into pig blood red under low heat.

At this time, Su Chen put the washed and cut large intestine into it and stirred it gently with a spoon, so that every piece of pig intestine was dyed red.

Although the force was light, Zhang Heping could feel the force transmitted from Su Chen's arm, and his movements were extremely fast!

Su Chen didn't seem to care at all about letting him know the secret of this dish. He was still chatting lightly, "If you move slowly, the color of the sugar will become darker."

After each piece of large intestine is dipped in color, quickly add the prepared two cents of minced onion, ginger, garlic, and the same amount of soy sauce and cooking wine to the pot.

At the same time, don’t forget to add another spoonful of clear soup and two ounces of sugar.

With the addition of clear soup, the surface is just about the same as the fatty intestines.

‘Are you trying to save yourself from the fire? ’

Zhang Heping guessed silently.

Although the method is quite different from what he knows, first of all, what Boss Su said is just clear oil.

But the seasoning is almost the same.

However

Su Chen not only did not turn on the high heat, but also turned it to low heat directly!

Keep the clear soup in the pot in a state of just boiling, but with small bubbles!

"This"

Su Chen put down the spoon. At this point, his improved nine-turn large intestine is more than half completed.

"Simmer on low heat, why, Senior Brother Zhang, didn't you do this when you learned from Master Cui?"

Zhang Heping: ? ? ?

Boss Su, you are looking for trouble, right?

Thanks to everyone for the monthly tickets, especially the nearly 20 tickets from Piao Mou Ren, I will definitely add more!

The following chapters will be a little later!
