Food Customizer

Su Chen has a characteristic. He will not change his decision unless it is really impossible.

Since the dish has been selected, he will make it until he is satisfied.

The dish of Sucai is also called Suguo.

It exists in the deep memory of every Shandong people. Maybe there are pure Shandong people who have not eaten their own famous dish Jiuzhuan Dachang, but there is definitely no Shandong people who have not eaten Sucai!

This kind of thing is the real delicacy in Su Chen's heart.

Even Su Chen does not need to make it, just read the steps of the recipe and you will know.

If it is made according to the recipe, it is at best a B-level dish.

The reason is also very simple.

This pot of salty and fragrant stew is finally eaten cold. How delicious can it be?

But this dish has a very exquisite feature, it has no fixed pattern.

Jinan people add water to the Suguo, and Zibo people will be anxious when they see it: Whose Suguo adds water, can you do it, yours is called a big stew!

Put Spanish mackerel in Boshan crispy pot, and people from other places are anxious: You call it crispy fish pot, your crispy pot is not proper, don't make it if you don't know how to make it, and don't go out and say it's our Shandong cuisine, you can't afford to lose face!

Wang Ermaizi's crispy pot at the head of the village put a layer of peanuts on it, and Zhang Guafu at the end of the village got anxious: If you don't know how to make it, get out, who can put peanuts in crispy dishes?

When a newly married couple made crispy dishes in the first year, the husband saw his wife adding pepper and star anise, and they had a quarrel on the spot: Who told you to put this stuff? Can this be called crispy dishes! If you dare to put this stuff again, we can't live anymore!

Yes, this dish is so exaggerated.

As the saying goes, poor people have crispy pots, and rich people have crispy pots.

Every household in Shandong Province has to have such a pot during the New Year and festivals, no matter whether water is added or not, no matter what is added, each family has its own way of doing it.

Therefore, the tradition of "a thousand mothers and a thousand flavors" was formed.

In the past few years, the Internet has developed. If anyone dares to post a video of making a crispy pot at home, it will not take long for other people in Shandong Province to collectively attack him.

That scene felt like the "Tofu Brain War".

"Let me make the first improvement first."

Su Chen summoned all the ingredients and made a list, selected a few that the company did not have, and left the practice room.

He gave the list of ingredients to Bai Xiaobo to buy, and specifically told him that the meat could be delivered by Fang Chang.

After returning to the practice room again.

Su Chen began to subdivide the ingredients.

The crispy dish in the famous recipe was the work of Mr. Liu Yongqing, a chef in Jinan in the 1920s. The method of the famous chef Li Jianguo in Jinan is to continue this tradition.

The pork bones are used as the base, and the other ingredients are layered on top, and shredded green onions and ginger are placed on each layer.

Su Chen watched Li Jianguo's video. This master will adjust the crispy dish twice.

When adjusting the second time, add sesame oil to the pot.

The crispy dishes in the famous recipes are seasoned three times, with sesame oil added at the end and sugar added at the second.

Su Chen doesn't think so. For this kind of one-pot dish, it is best to season it only once, otherwise the ingredients will be seasoned before cooking.

Once it is in the pot, try to avoid opening the lid again.

This is a rather mysterious statement. Opening the lid once will leak the pot smell. Without this smell, the dish will not be so fragrant.

Whether this pot smell exists remains to be studied.

But what needs to be done now is to find a way to upgrade the crispy dishes to A level. The key point from B to A is to give full play to the characteristics of the ingredients and highlight the taste of the ingredients themselves. Try not to put irrelevant ingredients together.

The main ingredients in the famous recipes are pork belly, kelp, Spanish mackerel, eggs, fresh lotus root, and cabbage.

These ingredients are not a big problem, but Su Chen decided to cancel the pork belly and use boneless pig's trotters and boneless front elbows instead.

Because pork belly still has too much fat, and the lid of the crispy pot will never be opened again, which can easily cause other ingredients to absorb excessive fat.

Then add a dish of fried tofu, which is suitable for all ages. It has a great flavor and taste while absorbing juice, and it is the most suitable for this kind of big dish.

Finally,

"I don't know what the dish made with this thing will be like. If the evaluation is high enough, it doesn't matter even if it subverts the traditional crispy dish making method?"

After Su Chen made his decision, he began to summon ingredients according to his first version of the plan.

While Su Chen repeatedly shuttled between reality and the practice room, Ling Shuyu not only did his own private work almost as well, but also did Su Chen's work when he handed it over.

"Director Li, this is what I mean. If you can help, then help. If you can't, then tell me how you can help."

Li Mingtao didn't understand for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he realized, "This must be done."

"Yes! This matter is crucial to the development of Delicious." Ling Shuyu spoke in a humble and unyielding manner, with a hint of "If you don't do it, I'll do it to you."

Although Li Mingtao didn't know how to do it, he had been threatened by Ling Shuyu once when he was in Xinghui before, and he knew that the woman in front of him was not so easy to mess with.

"Boss Ling, if you say that, I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart." Li Mingtao stood up and closed the door.

It felt like something shameful.

"I did hear about this matter. And, to be honest, the person who is watching this project now is not just the boss, but also another person."

"Who?" Ling Shuyu asked subconsciously.

Li Mingtao thought for a moment and said, "You asked me who it was, but you might as well ask your supplier Fang Chang. He knows this matter much better than me."

"What I can do is to help the boss to make connections, so that he can talk to the person in charge of this project. But how to deal with this matter specifically depends on the boss himself."

Ling Shuyu nodded slightly.

What Li Mingtao said made sense. It was very kind of him to help make connections. If he went a step further, it was indeed beyond his ability.

"Then I'll have to trouble Director Li."

Li Mingtao apologized a little, "Then I'll leave first. There is definitely no problem with the plan proposed by General Manager Ling. If the company approves it, I will pay you the first time."

"Yes."

The money doesn't matter, anyway, he will definitely not default on the debt.

After Li Mingtao left, Ling Shuyu began to think about this matter. How did he get involved with Fang Chang again? This guy has such a wide network of people?

If it was to talk to Fang Chang, then the boss would have to do it himself, and Ling Shuyu couldn't make the decision on such matters.

Outside the office, the cafeteria, which should have been deserted in the morning, was now bustling with activity.

In order to experience the stir-fried noodles at noon, all the brothers who were supposed to leave by car in the morning stayed.

There were also a few who were about to leave, but were stopped by Wang Peixin.

"I treated you to an 8,000 yuan breakfast, and you left just like that?"

"Each of you treated me to a bowl of noodles at noon today, and you can't leave without a treat!"

With the lessons learned in the morning, everyone knew that the lunch at noon must also be a noodle assassin, so the question of who would treat the guests arose.

Wang Peixin would definitely not treat the guests, and he was almost ruined by it.

So, Lao Shiqi made a suggestion that everyone should divide into groups to play Landlord, and the loser would pay, and the winner would not take any money. At that time, the money would be collected and it would probably be enough for a meal!

Look, they are playing Landlord in a lively manner at this moment.

Cui Yufen and Lu Yongliang, who were older, visited the kitchen for half a day.

Watching Zhang Heping prepare lunch, the four of them made some suggestions from time to time.

These small suggestions also benefited Zhang Heping a lot, and he felt that the big pot rice he made had been upgraded by several levels.

This state lasted until eleven o'clock in the morning.

Su Chen appeared!

"Boss Su, you are finally here!"

"Hurry up and make noodles, I feel like I'm starving to death!"

"Damn it, you ate ten buns in the morning and you still have the nerve to say you are hungry? Don't think I didn't see you, I was staring at you!"

"Why are you staring at me? You ate twelve yourself, why didn't you say anything?"

"Stop talking, look at what Boss Su is doing? This is not making stir-fried noodles!"

A group of big men followed him into the kitchen.

There was no way to deal with the buns in the morning, but now that Boss Su is cooking in person, we have to take a good look!

"There will be kids coming here to eat later. I think we should move to the 19th floor. There are no outsiders here." Su Chen was carrying two rolls of pork skin and the chicken and fish bought by Bai Xiaobo.

"Come on, come on, the 19th floor is so nice and quiet."

"Hey, you said yesterday that the environment on the 19th floor was not good, but it's okay now?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say that! Who knows who said that."

A group of people followed Su Chen to the 19th floor again, making a lot of noise. Zhang Heping wanted to speak several times in the kitchen, but couldn't say anything.

You all went to eat well, what's the point of leaving me here?

Hey!

Sure enough, I can't go to work. Once a person has a job, he will be bound!

If I had known earlier, I would have played for two days before taking up the job. Damn it!

Of course, the employees of Delicious still stayed on the second floor. After all, the children from the kindergarten were coming soon, and they had something to do at noon.

Lu Yongliang looked at the various ingredients prepared in the kitchen on the 19th floor, "What are you going to do? I remember that your stir-fried noodles don't have so many ingredients?"

Su Chen shook his head, "Stir-fried noodles are for lunch, and I still have to prepare dinner."

Cui Yufen waved his hand quickly, "No, no, we all have to leave in the afternoon. We won't have dinner."

Su Chen was stunned, "Teacher Cui, dinner is just a new attempt for me."

Cui Yufen squeezed out a few wrinkles on her old face, so damn embarrassing!

She wanted to leave, but someone didn't leave.

Lu Yongliang and the Jiang brothers licked their faces, "Boss Su, what dish are you going to try? I see that the ingredients are so rich, it must be a table of delicious dishes, right?"

Jiang Wusheng chuckled, "It just so happened that we didn't drink wine at the engagement party yesterday. Taking advantage of Boss Su's delicious table today, I, an old man, will buy a few bottles of Jingzhou specialty wine. Let's have a good drink tonight, and then have a good sleep. It's really a happy life!"

"Brother is right!" Jiang Wensheng's flattery skills are getting better and better. "Although we are a little different in age from Boss Su, our mentality is similar. I think it's okay for us to recognize each other as brothers!"

Lu Yongliang looked at the two brothers singing the same tune and couldn't help but be shocked!

At the beginning, I only thought about taking in an apprentice, why didn't I think of this?

Boss Su is not related to us, and he has such a strong skill. It's also human nature not to want to learn from others.

These two brothers can actually think of getting along as peers. This idea is simply invincible! If you can't accept me as your disciple, we can become sworn brothers!

If we become brothers, you have to help me when I need your help, right?

Immediately clapped my hands, "Okay, okay, this is great! I think there is nothing wrong with it. I am a few years older than you all, brothers, just call me big brother from now on!"

The Jiang brothers were stunned. We didn't say we would bring you along. Why does Mr. Lu want to join in all the fun?

Of course, Liu Abao, who is far away in Beijing, must not know that the boss has inexplicably become his uncle before he even starts the game!

Who can stand this!

Su Chen was almost in a state of confusion throughout the whole process.

No, how can you do this? Don't drag me into the Peach Garden Three Heroes, especially Lu Yongliang. Su Chen is almost his grandson at this age. Is it appropriate to suddenly raise the generation so much?

I had to call Shang Mingke big brother a few days ago, but next time we meet, he will become my nephew?

Cui Yufen tried to get close to Boss Su when he saw a few people.

It was a pure forced approach.

"I think Xiao Su does look a bit like me and my younger generations, so why not become sworn brothers with me? I'm a few years younger than Lao Lu, so everyone can just call me the second sister."

Su Chen: ? ? ?

"Okay, that's it!" Lu Yongliang agreed on behalf of the others, "I'm the eldest brother, Yufen is the second sister, you two brothers are still brothers, and Boss Su is the youngest!"

Things are getting more and more outrageous, and Su Chen is about to refuse directly.

What a joke, how old is he, and suddenly there are several brothers and sisters in their sixties and seventies, who can stand this?

Just when he was about to speak, he saw Cui Yufen grabbing Su Chen's hand and stuffing something in.

"This is a little gift from my second sister. You should accept it, but you can't refuse it!"

Su Chen pinched it, it was so thick that he had to hold back the words of refusal, "Hello, second sister!"

"Here!" Lu Yongliang patted his thigh, "I haven't prepared anything, but don't worry, Lao Wu, when we have dinner tonight, I will give you a big red envelope!"

"Yes, Lao Wu, you are the youngest, and the third brother will not treat you badly!"

Jiang Wensheng nodded, "Me too!"

Su Chen clasped his hands and bowed to the elders, "Thank you, brothers! It's getting late, I'll cook first!"

When Cui Yufen's disciples saw this scene, they stared at each other.

It's only been less than a few minutes, and I have an uncle out of thin air?

Isn't this too casual?

Wang Peixin looked at the red envelope that Su Chen stuffed into his suit pants. Wasn't that the one I gave to the teacher?

There are 10,001 yuan in it!

Damn!

The breakfast lost 8,000 yuan, and the red envelope for the teacher was handed over to Boss Su. Boss Su, you are a devil!

Wang Peixin's inner sadness was unknown to Su Chen.

Su Chen only selected a medium-sized stainless steel bucket and sat on the stove without turning on the fire.

On the other side of the stove sat a large iron pot, and two pig trotters, a front elbow, and two pieces of pig skin in the kitchen were put into the iron pot.

Then he poured half a bottle of cooking wine into the iron pot!

"What is Boss Su going to do? It seems completely unpredictable."

"What Boss Su? Now this is the uncle! Oh no, it should be called, the fifth uncle!"

"Damn, although the seniority is like this, it always feels weird."

"This is just a very simple food processing method. Remove the blood foam in the pig's trotters and elbows, and then remove the fishy smell. It can't tell anything. Let's continue to watch, maybe we can get some enlightenment."

As Lao Shiqi said, this is the simplest way to process food. There is nothing to be curious about. Basically, everyone who can cook knows this step.

As the water temperature in the pot rises, Su Chen begins to put the bought kelp into the basin and scrub it carefully.

This kind of kelp bought from the supermarket has been soaked in water. It only needs to be cleaned and can be used directly for cooking, which saves a lot of trouble.

The cleaned kelp is placed aside for use.

The next step is to process the chicken.

When making the birthday duck, Su Chen once practiced the method of directly removing the bones from the neck without damaging the chicken and duck meat.

This time it also came in handy.

Chop the chicken from the neck, insert a long knife from the opening, and see Su Chen holding the chicken in his left hand, twisting the knife in his right hand.

He takes out the knife from time to time, and then reaches in with his fingers to pinch out a few bones.

Such skills also make the apprentices exclaim again and again.

After all, they need too little chicken, and almost no one will handle the whole chicken like this.

After the whole chicken is processed, Su Chen lights a stove again, adds cold water, still adds a lot of cooking wine, and adds a few slices of ginger.

"Chicken is deodorized, pork is also deodorized, and pork only uses pig's trotters and pig's elbows, which reminds me of a dish." Liu Fu looked at the kelp that Su Chen had just processed, and said almost with certainty.

"What dish is it, senior brother?" Wang Peixin is relatively young, and he really can't think of any dish that would use these ingredients at the same time.

Liu Fu said, "Don't you make crispy pot during the Chinese New Year? It seems to me that Master Su is going to make crispy pot!"

"Hiss!" Old Seventeen looked at the ingredients on the chopping board several times, "It seems to be true! Look, even the cabbage is ready over there!"

"Tsk, speaking of this crispy pot, I must try it today to see if Master Su makes it authentically." Liu Fu touched his smooth chin.

Young people today may not be interested in this stuff, but for people of his age, crispy pot is simply a must-eat every year!

I remember last year's New Year's Eve, because Liu Fu was busy outside all day and didn't have time to make crispy pot, he always felt uncomfortable looking at the dozen dishes on the table for the New Year's Eve dinner.

He didn't even watch the Spring Festival Gala, and stayed up all night to make a pot of crispy vegetables. After cutting the vegetables and putting them on the plate the next day, he felt that this year had a New Year's flavor.

"Big brother, are you kidding? It's good to start cooking at this time. It's good to be able to eat it in the evening. Maybe you have to wait until tomorrow!" Old Seventeen is still thinking about leaving.

Liu Fu smiled, "It's okay, good food is not afraid of being late. Whoever wants to leave can leave, no one will stop you."

No one else said anything.

I have to say it, if it was other dishes, I would tolerate it, but it was crispy vegetables!

This thing is really unbearable. If conditions permit, I must try it!

After Su Chen had processed all the ingredients, the most important step of making a crispy pot began!

Arrange the dishes!

Because the crispy pot must be formed at one time, there will be no artificial interference during the production process, so the arrangement of dishes is particularly knowledgeable.

What dishes are at the bottom, what dishes are in the middle, and what dishes are on the top, all of these are particular.

If one ingredient is not placed well, the taste will not be good, and it may not be cooked.

The interesting thing about this dish is that so many ingredients are made into the salty and fresh taste that people in Shandong Province love the most. The flavors of various ingredients blend with each other, and they are very delicious.

"But we use kelp to roll up the pork belly, and I haven't seen the uncle prepare pork belly? I dare not say whether it tastes good or not, but this method is definitely not authentic." Lao Wu said thoughtfully.

This made Liu Fuqi laugh, "You don't mind the kelp wrapped with pork belly, that means people in your place don't know how to make crispy pot. It should be a layer of kelp and a layer of meat. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense."

Once they heard this, the others were unhappy.

Old Seventeen took a breath, "The crispy pot comes from Boshan. It should be the most authentic in our hometown. I think there is nothing wrong with what Boss Su is doing now. It depends on how he handles the chicken later. I don't agree with putting chicken in the crispy pot."

Su Chen listened to everyone's conversation and shook his head with a smile.

This group of Shandong men started arguing before they started. If they really finish it later, won't they fight?

Of course, as long as they don't fight, it's up to them.

Before this step, Su Chen took out the fried tofu left over from the day before.

Fried tofu is a food that is more durable.

In the past, no one in the countryside had a refrigerator, but the tofu bought back couldn't be left there, either it would go bad or it would freeze easily. Some people with better family conditions will directly take out the oil, so that they can use it directly no matter what dish they are cooking.

The taste and flavor will not change much, and it is also very durable to store.

After getting all these ingredients, Su Chen first used two deodorized pork shank bones to make a base and placed them directly in the same direction.

In the middle of the two bones, there was a pepper bag wrapped in a cage cloth.

Then a round steamer gasket was placed on top of the pork shank bones to cover them.

This made many people confused, but everyone didn't say anything, just watched very seriously.

The addition of pork bones is very necessary.

When making soup, you have to use this thing, which can play a role in enhancing the flavor.

With the gasket, you can start to place other ingredients.

First, put two pieces of washed pig skin around the edge of the stainless steel barrel. From the inside, it feels like the inside of this barrel is made of pig skin.

After completing this step, Su Chen actually took the bucket down directly, laid it sideways on the operating table, and laid the sliced ​​lotus root in the middle in an arc shape toward the wall of the bucket.

Then he laid a layer of kelp slices vertically, and then evenly laid the scallion and ginger slices cut as thin as hair.

This method of laying out the dishes made the men of Shandong Province stunned.

"This is unheard of! Who does this?"

"It feels like it's completely reversed from our way of doing it. All the ingredients are placed vertically. Is this appropriate?"

"I don't understand it either. Boss Su's cooking skills are always unexpected. Before meeting him, could you have imagined that the nine-turn large intestine was made like that?"

Indeed, even if it was unheard of, the nephews did not dare to rashly comment on how this dish was.

There was no way, my face hurt, and it would be a bit unbearable if I continued to beat him.

After the kelp slices were done, the whole chicken that had just been deodorized was slapped with a knife a few times to make it slightly flatter in shape, and then placed on top of the kelp.

At this time, Su Chen took a few more lotus roots and stuffed them into the side.

At this point, the huge bucket was almost half filled with ingredients, and Su Chen stretched his muscles.

He took out the blanched pork elbows and pig trotters from the pot, skillfully removed the bones, and then placed the big elbow meat on top of the chicken, occasionally throwing in a few slices of fried tofu.

Then he covered it with a layer of shredded green onion, ginger and kelp slices, and stuffed a few lotus roots into the edge.

Then came the pig trotters and the boneless Spanish mackerel slices.

Finally, stuff two pieces of lotus root into the gap at the top, and use all your strength to stand the full bucket upright.

"Huh" Su Chen exhaled, "This must be more than thirty kilograms of ingredients, right?"

"I think it's more than that." Lu Yongliang only knew that this thing was a crispy pan, but he didn't know the specific method. "It must be at least forty pounds."

Cui Yufen also nodded and said, "Brother said it's almost the same, you have to have more than forty pounds."

The Huaiyang cuisine cooks, the Jiang brothers, were amazed when they saw such a heroic cooking method. No wonder people from Shandong Province can grow so big.

People eat very hard!

If this thing were placed in Yangzhou, if I made one pot on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I might not be able to finish it after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!

Seeing Su Chen placing the vat on the stove, the big men gathered around to watch.

Liu Fuba chirped a few times and said, "Uncle."

He has now accepted this new identity calmly, "Isn't it just for the sake of appearance that you lay out the dishes like this?"

Because from this perspective, that is, from top to bottom.

The ingredients in this stainless steel bucket are arranged in a very interesting way.

The outermost periphery is a full circle of pig skin.

Then there is a whole circle of lotus root.

These two ingredients just wrap up the ingredients inside. The ones slightly outside are pig trotters and pork knuckles, and the inside are chicken and mackerel fillets.

In terms of aesthetics, this shop is absolutely unbeatable. All the ingredients are placed vertically, which is very interesting.

But Liu Fu didn’t understand!

A shrewd person like him would not say anything to offend others, "Fifth Junior Brother, do you think there is anything special about this dish?"

Throw the question directly to Lao Wu, hey hey hey!

The fifth junior brother scratched his head. He was not stupid. I didn't say what the senior brother didn't want to say. "I think the paving is quite good. Although it is a little different from my understanding, since the senior uncle did this, it must be Uncle Shi has his reasons, right, Old Seventeen?"

Seventeenth Brother:? ? ?

"I haven't eaten, I don't know!"

Good guy.

Liu Fu looked deeply at his junior brothers.

I can’t say whether Jingzhou and his party’s cooking skills have improved, but their IQs are getting higher than the last!

Su Chen thought for a while, but still did not answer the questions of his nephews.

He really didn't know what to say.

This method of arranging dishes was something he discovered over and over again in the practice room. Only by placing the dishes in this way can the dishes be upgraded from B level to A level.

It can be said to be a qualitative improvement!

As for the outer layer of pig skin, it is the main ingredient after Su Chen improved this dish. Without that layer of pig skin, it would be useless.

But Su Chen doesn't want to say more about the specifics yet.

"Don't ask any questions, you'll know once you taste this stuff."

The apprentice nephews had not yet understood what this sentence meant, but they just nodded in agreement.

Whether it tastes good or not, you will know when you taste it. It is useless to argue now.

On the contrary, it is easy to get slapped in the face.

After all the ingredients are arranged, there is still about thirty centimeters of space at the top of the vat.

Su Chen began to add condiments.

Dark soy sauce, refined salt, Sichuan peppercorns.

There are only a few types of condiments, but the amount is huge. If you catch a condiment, you just pour it in.

After adding it, break off all the cabbage leaves and use a knife to cut off the edges of the cabbage leaves, leaving only the cabbage leaves.

Spread layer by layer on top until all the space left on the vat is covered.

"Done!"

Su Chen took out the big ancestral stone from the cabinet.

This thing was used by Aunt Fang to pickle pickles when it was about to go bankrupt.

Later, when I finished eating the pickles, I didn’t want to throw away the big stone, so it came in handy this time.

First, a plate that was smaller than the diameter of the bucket was placed on the cabbage, and then the big stone was placed directly on the plate.

Liu Fu said in a very strange tone, "It's really eye-opening for me. What is this stone used for? Normally, it's just a plate and that's it!"

Everyone else knows this too.

The main function of the buckle plate is to prevent the pot from being pushed when simmering over low heat, but this stone is a bit confusing.

Su Chen ignored it at all and kept saying the same thing, "I feel like I have to do this. Didn't I just tell my second sister that this dish is my new attempt? I won't know until I try it."

Liu Fu frowned, imagining the final taste of this dish.

He couldn't figure it out.

The stick bone base ensures the basic taste of this dish, and the addition of soy sauce and refined salt basically determines the taste.

Fresh and salty.

The pig's trotters and elbows in the middle are a bit unnecessary in Liu Fu's opinion. They are a bit repetitive. If he were to make them, he would have to replace the elbows with pork belly.

As for the addition of the chicken, it is not incomprehensible. The chicken is not bad after it is cooked, and it can also add freshness to the whole pot of ingredients.

So it is completely understandable not to add chicken essence or stock later.

Anyway, no matter what is added to this pot, Liu Fu feels that he can understand it, because for the crispy pot, you can just add whatever you have at home.

Add whatever your family likes to eat.

If someone loves meatballs, there is nothing wrong with adding some meatballs to it.

But what he can't understand is what is the purpose of pressing a stone? The stone looks like it weighs more than 20 kilograms. He doesn't understand!

After finishing everything, Su Chen finally added a smaller pot lid on top of the stone.

There was a gap of about an inch just at the edge of the vat.

Fire!

The flame must be small at the beginning. This is a process of slowly increasing the temperature.

"Okay. You all must be hungry. Sorry for the long wait. I was supposed to be making noodles."

"It's okay." Cui Yufen smiled, "They all ate so much in the morning, so they don't have to worry about eating later."

Ever since he gave Su Chen a red envelope worth 10,000 yuan, Cui Yufen now looks at Su Chen and looks very pleased with him!

It's a pity that it was too late to meet Boss Su, otherwise Gao Dao would have to accept him as his close disciple.

But it's not bad now. We have become siblings with Su Chen. It will be a good thing for us to help each other in whatever matters in the future.

The vat is first heated slowly over low heat.

Su Chen started another pot on the stove.

But don’t rush to get started yet.

The key to SS-level hot pot noodles is the noodles. “Which good brother knows how to make noodles? I’m really not very good at making noodles.”

The brothers looked at each other for a moment, but no one dared to speak.

What if Boss Su is just testing? Isn't this embarrassing in front of everyone?

It wasn't until Cui Yufen called out his name in anger, "Old man, come and join me. Aren't you Bai An from Shunxiangzhai? Why are you silent now?"

The eighth junior brother walked forward silently.

He is 1.85 meters tall and has a pair of strong and thick arms. "Master, isn't it because I don't dare to show my shame in front of Boss Su? I'm afraid of embarrassing you, the old man."

"Are there not enough people to lose? You and..." Cui Yufen looked away, and when he looked at Su Chen, his smile immediately changed, "Fifth brother, tell him what he didn't do well. "

Su Chen shook his head quickly, "I really don't know how to knead noodles. Actually, it doesn't matter. I just knead some hand-rolled dough. Let's knead as much as you can eat."

Lao Ba nodded.

If you just make noodles with your hands, it's really not that difficult.

He has been working as a clerk at Shunxiang Zhai for more than 20 years. He made noodles from a Shandong cuisine restaurant a must-order dish. He really couldn't do it without some effort. As long as he was not allowed to make Western-style pastries. No problem.

"Brothers, hurry up and count!" Lao Ba shouted.

Wang Peixin was the first to count, "I'll eat eight liang!" After saying that, he regretted a little, "I'll eat three big bowls, just those kind of bowls, three bowls of noodle soup that cost 50/50!"

He pointed to a large ocean bowl.

That kind of bowl is indeed a bowl for serving hot pot noodles.

Su Chen was secretly worried. Did Wang Peixin feel bad about spending the 8,000 yuan in the morning, and now he is spending a bit of revenge?

Fortunately, I found a reason to ask others to help me mix the noodles. Otherwise, if there were so many people eating noodles, I would be exhausted just making the noodles!

And Su Chen is a little careful.

As the level increased, he never activated the skill [Kneading Noodles].

I don’t know if it’s because [Kneading Noodles] is not a cooking skill.

This also leads to the fact that Su Chen's current dough-making skills are actually very average, and at the end of the day, they are at the level of Aunt Fang.

Compared with the top white case of a time-honored brand like Laoba, the gap is definitely not even a little bit.

If you are inferior to others, you have to admit it. Let’s study hard and try to catch up!

So by letting Lao Ba make the noodles, Su Chen not only saves time and effort, but also learns a lesson secretly. It’s the best of both worlds!

Wang Peixin counted the numbers, and his good brother Lao Shiqi was not to be outdone, "I am also a big bowler!"

"Two bowls for me."

"Three bowls!"

Lu Yongliang and others were shocked when they listened to people's reports.

"Lao San, how many bowls of noodles did we eat that day?"

Jiang Wusheng pondered slightly, "We only had one bowl, but we also ate steamed buns that day."

Lao Lu shook his head in disbelief, "I think if I ate so many steamed buns in the morning and so many noodles at noon, something will happen. I'll eat less."

Jiang Wusheng also nodded in agreement, "Indeed. At our age, our digestive system cannot compare with theirs, so I should eat less."

Jiang Wensheng asked curiously, "How much did you two eat?"

Lu Yongliang thought for a while, "I'll just eat four bowls."

Cui Yufen:? ? ?

Is this what you mean by eating less?

Why is this old man so mean?

"Indeed, four bowls are enough for me." Jiang Wusheng didn't think there was any problem with this.

He had tasted the hot pot noodles made by Boss Su himself. If he hadn't been afraid of spoiling his stomach, four bowls wouldn't have been enough even if he didn't eat other dishes.

Jiang Wensheng followed suit, "I'll have four bowls too!"

Cui Yu didn't know what to do for a while.

Such a big sea bowl, according to her appetite, would be enough to eat even half a bowl.

Since everyone is so cruel, Cui Yufen also became cruel, "I want a bowl!"

Enough, one bowl is definitely enough.

That’s a big ocean bowl!

When she was young, she went to work in the countryside and could only eat one bowl.

After counting everyone, Lao Ba made some calculations in his mind and complained fiercely, "You guys can really eat it!"

Most of the bag of white flour was thrown directly on the workbench.

A huge basin was placed in front of him. Lao Ba didn't even need a spoon. He just held the bag and poured flour into it.

"This is my first time meeting so many people. Are you pigs?"

He complained again, "Master, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about our brothers and sisters. How can anyone eat like this?"

All the brothers turned a deaf ear to this complaint.

Su Chen, on the other hand, was carefully observing the operations of the eighth nephew.

After pouring two large bowls of water into the basin, Su Chen noticed that Lao Ba's movements were very crisp and clean.

Every time he kneaded the dough, a lot of flour was combined with moisture, but his hands were only dipped in dry flour from beginning to end.

‘It’s so awesome. When will I be able to reach this level? ’

Twenty years of day-to-day work has already made Lao Ba perfect at kneading noodles, and the flour gradually began to be kneaded into a dough.

Under the kneading of Lao Ba's right hand, the dough gradually began to become smooth and delicate. Even the dough that was originally white flour now has a slightly yellow color.

‘What is the principle? ’

Su Chen felt a little surprised. He had never had such an effect before.

And under the influence of the top of the flavor, Su Chen could even vaguely smell the scent of wheat, which was something he had never encountered when making noodles.

‘If possible, Lao Ba must stay! ’

‘With this skill, no matter what, I can definitely support the company’s entire kitchen system. ’

After a while, a huge piece of dough appeared in the basin.

Even Lao Ba was out of breath, "Boss Su, do you want me to roll out the noodles directly?"

"also."

Su Chen did not reject Lao Ba's kindness.

There's nothing magical about rolling out or cutting the noodles. It doesn't matter whoever does it, not to mention that Lao Ba's skills are really incredible.

Sprinkle a layer of dry flour on the countertop, Lao Ba divides the dough into two balls and starts rolling it out.

When the long rolling pin squeezes the dough, it will make a squeaking sound from time to time.

"Lao Ba's Bai An has improved again. If you can make such a sound when rolling out the dough, it means that the dough is kneaded really well." Cui Yu gave his apprentice an appreciative look.

Among so many people, Lao Ba was the only disciple who didn't embarrass her.

Su Chen nodded with a bit of envy.

Although you can also improve your skills by constantly rolling out dough in the practice room and through the method of "getting used to it".

But Su Chen was really too busy.

Even now, I spend a lot of energy in the practice room almost every day, and I can't spare any time to practice my dough-making skills.

‘We can only talk about it later. ’

Lao Ba was very fast and rolled the dough into thin sheets in a short time. "Boss Su, where are the noodles?"

"I'll do the cutting myself."

Originally, Su Chen was planning to let Lao Ba cut the noodles.

But the dough looked so big. After rolling it out, it fell into several layers. Not to mention, the dough was also very big!

If this was Lao Baqie, it would have to be cut in the Year of the Monkey.

Silently wearing the [Precision Strike] badge on his chest.

Su Chen stood where Lao Ba was just now, took the kitchen knife, bent his legs slightly downward, and put one hand behind his back.

"Everyone, lean back a little."

what's the situation?

No one quite understood, but Lu Yongliang and the Jiang brothers knew best what was going to happen next.

Boss Su, he’s going to show off!
