Chapter 214 Before the picnic, PDD's 9.9 yuan chef set?

Cakes, especially cream cakes, have always been children's favorite.

Su Chen sat by the fire and warmed his hands. It was only afternoon when the temperature in the mountains began to drop sharply.

"It dropped so early today. The sun can't be seen at this time." Hou Xiuzhen sat on the side and chatted with Cui Yufen.

Speaking of which, Cui Yufen is a few years older than Hou Xiuzhen, but he looks much more energetic than Hou Xiuzhen.

"This is how it is in the mountains."

The two chatted casually, watching the employees of Delicious Lai busy, and Hou Xiuzhen felt unreal in a trance.

It has been many years since I have seen such a scene.

In their eyes, the young man in a suit was sitting in front of the campfire with his eyes closed, thinking, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he was so young and could accomplish such a big thing. Hou Xiuzhen felt that this young man must be very capable, at least more capable than their previous pig farm boss.

Su Chen was actually flipping through the contents of "Noodle Skills" with his eyes closed.

This book explains the characteristics of various types of flour in a very simple and clear way, especially some small tricks in the production process, which are very concise.

After simply flipping through it, Su Chen felt that his eyes were opened.

Because many of the skills in it were explored by the noodle masters themselves during the production process, it is quite difficult to teach them to others. This thing is purely experience.

After watching, Su Chen stood up and stretched, waving to the crowd next to him, "Teacher Wang, come here."

"Okay!"

Wang Xiaoyi jumped down the small slope, "What's the matter?"

"I want to make a birthday cake." Su Chen pinched his chin, "A huge birthday cake, this big!"

He stretched out his arm and gestured.

"This? It should be at least one meter in diameter, right? Too exaggerated!"

Su Chen nodded, "What I'm thinking is, if we want to make such a big cake, can we let the children participate?"

"Is it appropriate?" Wang Xiaoyi asked, and seeing Su Chen's puzzled look, she tilted her head and didn't say anything.

What she meant was that these children were different from ordinary kindergarten children, and would it be inappropriate to let them participate?

"It's okay, it's appropriate. You just take them and listen to my instructions."

Su Chen used the long dining table as an operating table, put the huge basin on it, poured half a basin of milk directly into it, and poured the big barrel of corn oil into it without any regrets.

"Boss Su, I'm going to grill that." Fang Chang was stringing meat with Zhang Li and the others. When he saw Su Chen's action from a distance, he was dumbfounded.

"It's okay, don't we have other oils?" Su Chen said casually.

Mix milk with corn oil and add some refined salt.

Su Chen was lying on Fang Chang's truck bed rummaging around, and Boss Fang ran over, "What are you looking for?"

"I want an egg beater."

"Why would I bring that thing?" Fang Chang rummaged around in the truck bed. There was nothing left in it, but there was a tool box, which was the tool used to drive expansion screws when setting up the tent just now.

"This will do." Su Chen opened the box and took out an electric drill from it.

Then he picked up a bottle of mineral water and poured the water in the bottle into an empty bowl.

Cut the bottom of the empty bottle with scissors, and then cut the bottle body vertically into plastic strips, leaving the bottle mouth untouched.

Su Chen put the bottle mouth against the electric drill interface and tried it. He took out a ball of toilet paper and wrapped it around the bottle mouth. When he put it on the electric drill, it was just right.

"Isn't there an egg beater here?"

Fang Chang was shocked. This thing can be used like this?

He immediately trotted over and saw Su Chen put the mineral water bottle cut into thin strips into the basin, and the electric drill turned with a sizzle.

It really looks like that!

"You are really a genius!"

Su Chen smiled, "The fundamental difference between humans and animals lies in the use of tools."

Fang Chang was choked and couldn't say anything. After holding it in for a long time, he said, "I don't want to play with you anymore!"

Su Chen laughed. This electric drill is really easy to use. The long plastic sheet crackled and emulsified the mixture of milk and vegetable oil. There was no oil on the surface. After lifting it up, you can see that the white liquid is smooth and silky, very delicate.

"Teacher Xiao Wang, help me."

Su Chen took out a fine sieve and threw a basin to Wang Xiaoyi, "Slowly scoop the flour into here for me, I'll sift some and you can scoop more."

"Oh!"

The two of them cooperated like this, Su Chen supported the sieve with both hands and shook it slowly, probably because Wang Xiaoyi was standing here.

The timid children just now, a few brave ones couldn't resist their curiosity and slowly moved over.

Not long after, a large number of children basically surrounded them, with curiosity in their eyes, but more of awe for Su Chen.

The flour fell into the basin through the sieve, Su Chen picked up the egg bucket, cracked the eggs, poured from his left hand to his right hand, the yolk remained in the eggshell, and the egg white flowed into the bowl below. The skillful movements made Wang Xiaoyi open his mouth wide.

"If I had your cooking skills, I could cook for myself."

Although Wang Xiaoyi's special illness was cured by Su Chen, her sense of taste and smell is still more sensitive than that of ordinary people. It is this trait that makes her so attached to food.

All the monthly salary is spent on food.

No wonder I can only save 1,000 yuan. I guess I haven't spent this money because I was assigned to Wuyuan.

"You can practice your skills slowly. If you are really interested, go home and study slowly. One day you will get better."

Su Chen said this not to comfort Teacher Wang. This is the truth.

Why Su Chen rarely eats dishes and meals made by others, and most of the time he eats what he cooks.

Of course, it is one aspect that what he cooks is really delicious. Another thing is that only he knows what he likes to eat and what kind of taste he likes. Cooking and eating by himself is a kind of food customization.

"Then what?"

Su Chen poured the egg yolk into the basin, and then continued to use the electric drill.

Da Da Da.

The electric drill stirred for a while, and the flour and the previously emulsified milk were mixed together, and turned into a light yellow liquid under the action of the egg yolk.

On the other side, squeeze some lemon juice into the egg white in the bowl, and then add sugar at once, and beat it with the electric drill.

Su Chen did the work repeatedly, which made Wang Xiaoyi chuckle. "You are so funny. You can even play with the electric drill."

Su Chen thought to himself, what's the big deal? Beating with the electric drill is still a normal operation. If you watch how those female anchors play with the electric drill, that's called playing with the electric drill.

Beat the egg white into meringue, then pour one-third of the meringue into the egg yolk paste, stir evenly, and then mix it all together.

"Oh! My cake base is done."

Su Chen didn't have a mold, so he used the super huge aluminum basin and put it into the big oven.

This thing was originally planned to be used for grilling meat. It can be seen that Fang Chang wanted to have a good meal of meat, but now Su Chen used it to bake a cake.

The upper fire is 130, and the lower fire is 150.

Such a huge cake would take at least two hours to make.

After setting the time, Su Chen threw a cardboard box to Wang Xiaoyi, "Take out the cream in here, let the children choose their favorite colors, and then give each of them a syringe, and let them write their names on the cake later."

After all, Su Chen has never had a child and has no experience in educating children.

This is the only activity he can think of.

"Great! They will definitely be very happy. The first thing I do when I come here is to teach everyone to write their own names. Hehe, I will show you how they write later."

Su Chen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

For ordinary children in the city, the content is so ordinary, but for these children, it is so out of reach, and they still need charity.

"Well, there is cream and syringes in the box. Teach them how to use them first."

After finishing the cake, Su Chen came to Fang Chang.

There is strength in numbers!

After Lu Yongliang processed the two pork skewers, he cut them into one centimeter square pieces. The girls used iron skewers to skewer the meat, and now they have filled two bowls.

It looks like there are at least seven or eight hundred skewers.

Whether it tastes good or not is another matter, but the visual effect is very impactful.

In addition to the skewers, Fang Chang also sponsored a lot of vegetables.

There are all kinds of leeks, beans, eggplants, enoki mushrooms, etc. that are common in barbecue restaurants.

The most ridiculous thing is that Fang Chang didn't know what he was thinking, and he even got several large bags of frozen lobster tails.

Su Chen usually doesn't eat this kind of thing. If he really wants to eat crayfish, it is better to buy live ones at the market.

"Boss Su, we've already said we're here for a picnic, why are you fussing so much. If you don't want to eat it, you can cook it for us, and we'll eat it!"

"That's right." Zhang Li was busy with her hands and her mouth, "I eat crayfish very quickly."

This guy's brain circuit is definitely very novel. Su Chen saw her holding that round iron skewer and slowly drilling at an egg.

"So you think eggs can be grilled, right?" Su Chen was almost dumbfounded.

"Yes, everything can be grilled! It depends on whether the grill chef is good enough!" The signature in Zhang Li's hand pierced in, and the eggshell didn't crack.

Then she continued to drill, and then drilled out from the inside out, and she really succeeded in skewering the egg.

"Are you putting eye drops on me? Okay, I'll grill an egg for you today." Su Chen said unhappily.

Not long after, the skewer was basically done.

Next, it's time to show real skills!

Cui Yufen and Lu Yongliang each held a large iron pot, with a stove connected to a gas tank underneath.

This stove is not as good as the kitchen stove, but the comprehensive firepower is still good.

Cui Yufen took the lead.

The tenderloin that was taken from the two porks just now was not grilled, but now it is in Cui Yufen's hands.

"Slippery tenderloin is a relatively difficult Shandong dish to make, and it is more suitable for today."

Before coming, Su Chen called Cui Yufen and Lu Yongliang together to discuss it, because this customization is really special, and stir-frying is definitely not an option.

There is a saying about fifty children, how do you say it, half-grown boys, eat me to death.

Although these children are small, they are at the age when they can eat. Now that they are like this, they will not stir-fry, but it is better to make some good dishes that are large and filling!

So Cui Yufen decided to make this slippery tenderloin, a dish that can be made in one pot, large and filling, and the key is that it tastes good.

Cui Yufen smeared some water on the kitchen knife, placed the long strip of tenderloin horizontally on the chopping board, and carefully cleaned all the fascia on it.

Su Chen had seen Cui Yufen cooking once during a dinner party before, and was very surprised at Cui Yufen's mastery of heat.

The ability to control the fire is no less than that of turning on the white jade hand and the magic patch at the same time. This is pure experience!

But this time, Su Chen had a new understanding of Cui Yufen's knife skills.

Prepared tenderloin, kitchen knife dipped in water.

Every time the knife was struck without haste or slowness, Su Chen pinched a piece of tenderloin that fell on the cutting board.

"It's so thin!"

The red meat slices appear translucent when placed in front of your eyes.

It is estimated that the thickness is less than one millimeter at most, and almost every piece is like this.

“Although this dish may seem like just a home-cooked dish, in fact this slippery tenderloin is a test of the chef’s comprehensive ability.”

"Such as knife skills, cutting technique, heat, sizing, oil temperature, gravy. If there is any flaw in any link, there will be problems in the finished dish."

Soon, Su Chen knew what Cui Yufen meant by these words.

Before cutting more than a dozen pieces of tenderloin, she put the thin slices of meat into water and soaked them first. Once the translucent and bright red meat slices were soaked, the excess blood was dissolved in the water, making the meat slices look a little dull. white.

After everything is cut, put the tenderloin slices soaked in water on the grate to control the water.

Cui Yufen began to beat a few egg whites in a basin, pinched in some refined salt and MSG, and finally sprinkled in some pepper.

Because it has to be fed to so many children, it is basically made in a pot, which tastes like a big pot of rice.

‘Season before cooking, this dish seems to be not that simple. ’

Su Chen had a preliminary estimate in his mind.

As Cui Yufen said, this dish is indeed a very homely dish in terms of appearance.

Su Chen also knew it very well, because he had never seen this dish in famous recipes.

But from a technical point of view, the texture and taste of this dish are definitely not inferior to most of the famous dishes in the recipe!

After adding the condiments, the water of choice is soaked onion and ginger water, and then corn starch is added to it.

A bowl of white gravy was ready. Cui Yu's hand stirred in the bowl for a while, and the starch in the bowl was stirred into a paste. Then he put all the meat slices that had been dried out into the basin.

"Huh?" Su Chen saw some changes in the way Cui Yufen stirred the meat pieces, and subconsciously made a confused sound.

Cui Yufen's face was quite proud.

I just like to see Su Chen’s unusual and strange expression with a bit of surprise!

"The tenderloin is very tender, so it must be kneaded gently. If you use a little force, such a thin piece of meat will be rotten. Knead it slowly and gently, a bit like a massage." A simple sentence, in Su Chen's ears Still fine.

After all, this is what we know from experience.

But in other people’s ears, the delicious food is like thunder!

"If you learn more of these little tricks, your cooking skills will definitely improve to the next level!" Zhang Li waved her fist, full of confidence.

Don't tell me, that egg was really made of by her.

An iron skewer goes from the bottom of the egg to the top, and there is no crack on the eggshell. At first glance, it looks quite intimidating.

"Stop talking, you've been following the boss for so long, and I haven't seen any improvement in your cooking skills." He Shuting hit the nail on the head.

"It's not like we haven't had time to learn yet."

While several people were talking, Cui Yufen had already massaged a large pot of meat slices evenly.

He picked up the basin and shook it slightly, showing it specifically to Su Chen.

The meat in the basin swayed slightly following her movements. "The meat slices must be battered to this level. If they don't sway when held together, it's too dry. If there's still water on the edge of the basin when you shake it, then that's it." It’s just too wet.”

After a simple explanation, Su Chen nodded, thoughtfully.

Cooking skills also require inferences. It is not easy to have this kind of learning opportunity, so naturally you have to listen carefully.

After sizing, Lao Cui poured a spoonful of oil into the basin.

Needless to say, this will prevent the meat slices from drying out, and it will also make it easy to separate the meat slices when oiling them later.

The gas under the iron pot was ignited. When Su Chen noticed that the oil temperature did not rise very high, Cui Yufen first put a piece of meat slices into the oil pot and tried it, only to see that fine spots immediately appeared around the meat slices. small bubbles.

Immediately after pouring all the meat slices into the oil pan at once, as the bubbles began to thicken, Lao Cui used a large spoon in his hand to gently stir the meat slices in the pan.

In just a few seconds, the meat pieces separated quickly, and at the same time, the meat pieces turned white.

At this time, put the other ingredients that were processed just now into the oil. This step is quite similar to frying the oily pork. They are fried in oil first and then fried.

The content of these ingredients is also very simple: fungus, bamboo shoot slices, red pepper.

After a very short period of oiling, all the ingredients in the pot, along with the hot oil, are poured toward the fence, and the hot oil is filtered into the basin. The fence drags various ingredients there to control the oil.

At the same time, Lao Cui was also cleaning the iron pot very seriously. She seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be teaching silently, "If it is slippery, the pot must be clean and there must be no black residue, otherwise the dish will be bad." destroyed."

After Lao Cui cleaned the oil pan, he carefully wiped it with kitchen towels to ensure that the cleanliness of the pan met his own standards before he started the next step.

Turn on the heat and add base oil.

Simple condiments, just onion and ginger.

After the aroma is sautéed, pour the sliced ​​meat into the pot and add some cooking wine.

Su Chen noticed that she was very careful when using the spatula, and her movements were very gentle. It was not like the traditional stir-frying, but she pushed the ingredients in the pot a few times, and then poured the sauce prepared when the sauce was just added into the pot.

Push it a few more times.

"Okay, this dish is done."

Cui Yufen used a large aluminum basin to put all the dishes in the pot.

These tenderloin slices look white, but they are shiny. If you look closely, it is not shiny, but the luster of the sauce!

Fungus and red peppers are dotted in it. Although the utensils are not very beautiful, the three colors of black, white and red bring a very enjoyable visual feeling.

On the other side, the children around Teacher Wang who are still learning how to use the syringe turned their heads to this side without any agreement. They almost did the same action: sniffing!

"Brother, what's that over there? It smells so good." The little girl timidly pulled the corner of the boy's clothes next to her.

If you look closely, you will find that the girl's right foot is turned inward.

"I don't know, but you can't eat strangers' things casually. Have you forgotten what Hou's mother taught us?"

The girl said, lowered her head silently, and fiddled with the syringe in her hand.

"Big brother, but that smells really good. It must be delicious." Another boy stared at Cui Yufen's basin with longing.

The names of the children in the Little Red Flower Welfare Home are all very simple.

This boy, who is called "big brother", is the oldest child here. His name is: Hou Yi.

The little girl who just talked to him is ranked twelfth here according to the day she was picked up, so she is called Hou Shier.

They have no first name or last name, so Hou Xiuzhen named them according to her last name and the order in which they came to the welfare home. It is very easy to remember, and when they call each other, there is a special kind of intimacy.

Hou Yi looked at Su Chen cautiously, holding the little boy's head between his arms, "Lao Wu, we will be separated in a few days. When you go to other places, if a stranger gives you food, you must not eat it."

"But if it's delicious." Lao Wu's fingers pressed against his lips, and his saliva began to flow out uncontrollably.

"No matter how delicious the food is, you must not eat it! Unless Hou's mother agrees, we can eat it, understand?"

Hou Wu seemed to understand, his eyes were dull, and his appearance was a little flat, which was a very typical symptom of Down syndrome.

In Hou Xiuzhen's words, Lao Wu is a very thoughtful child, but he is a little slow to react, but he is very kind and obedient. He will believe what others say, and he is willing to share what he has.

Just like now, although Lao Wu couldn't control the drooling at the corners of his mouth when he smelled Cui Yufen's large aluminum basin, he nodded seriously when Hou Yi said that.

Even the action of peeking just now was stopped.

Su Chen didn't notice the movement here.

"We have to hurry up. I just realized that it gets dark earlier here than there!"

Lu Yongliang was mixing the sauce on the side. "It gets dark earlier in the mountains. The sun is still there, but it is blocked by the mountains. The temperature drops quickly. If you are cold, wear more clothes."

Su Chen was not cold. He was covered tightly in a black suit. The girls over there must be cold. They were looking for clothes in the suitcases in the car.

"Uncle Lu, what are you preparing?"

Lu Yongliang unpacked the bag of lobster tails in a bad mood. "You guys are so good. You all use good ingredients and throw these broken things to me. Cut, what else can I do?"

Lu Yongliang's ingredients are a lot of live fish, which he has already processed.

Then there are the frozen ingredients brought by Fang Chang, such as lobster tails and frozen cod and other seafood species.

"I'll steam the sea bass, and let's make these shrimp tails and other things simply."

Old Lu said it was simple, and it was really simple to make.

He just added chopped green onions, ginger, garlic, and a little chili segments to the iron pot.

Considering that the children would eat it, the base of the pot was a slightly spicy red oil base, and the small chili segments only served to enhance the flavor.

After all these seasonings were put into the hot oil and fried to bring out the fragrance, the blanched shrimp tails were put into the pot and stir-fried repeatedly for about a minute.

Add beer to the pot that just covers the shrimp tails, then pour in a little soy sauce and oyster sauce, and boil the beer in the pot over medium heat for one minute.

At this time, after pouring a spoonful of white vinegar into the pot, immediately pick up the pot with your left hand and stir-fry vigorously for a few times.

"Isn't this embarrassing for an old man like me!" Lu Yongliang said angrily.

This iron pot is big enough. The shrimp tails in it are estimated to be more than ten pounds. It is indeed a bit too much for him at his age!

There is nothing much to say about this fried shrimp tail. The reason for repeatedly shaking the pot is to make the white vinegar in it evaporate quickly.

Finally, put the onion and coriander segments just prepared into the pot, and stir the thick soup and shrimp tails with the spoon frantically.

"Okay, okay, let me fry shrimp tails at my age. I didn't do this when I was an apprentice!"

Fang Chang stood there and smiled foolishly.

Needless to say, I have eaten at food stalls often. This is the first time for the chef to stir-fry spicy shrimp tails at a state banquet. Fang Chang, who couldn't help but feel lonely, took advantage of Lu Yongliang's cooking and intercepted two of them from mid-air. A small shrimp tail.

He muttered for a long time, "I'll go, you are really awesome! With this skill, you can pair two bottles of beer at a night market stall, it's amazing! You can definitely make a lot of money!"

Under everyone's strange looks, Fang Chang swallowed, "Did I say something wrong?"

Su Chen patted him on the shoulder, "You're right, go about your business."

This person is hopeless.

Is my state banquet master worthy of setting up a roadside stall to make money?

But there is one thing to say. Seeing Lu Yongliang steaming fish and frying shrimp tails, and Cui Yufen had already cooked the smooth tenderloin, Su Chen was also a little itchy at the moment.

Although the five-meter-long barbecue tank is his home court, barbecue and stir-fry are completely different concepts.

no.

Su Chen silently thought to himself, two teachers were in the limelight today, so he had to show off his skills too!

After scanning around, I found that the pork I had brought had already been made into tenderloin, and the rest was basically used to make barbecue skewers. There was also lamb, but Cui Yufen was already preparing to make braised lamb in sauce.

The fish meat was also processed by Lao Lu, and now there is basically nothing left.

Unconvinced, Su Chen ran to the side of the square agricultural vehicle, jumped into the bed of the vehicle, and struggled for a long time, "What are you doing with this thing?"

A large piece of pork chop wrapped in a huge plastic paper, and it was still cold to the touch, indicating that it had been frozen in the cold storage.

"That's right." Fang Chang touched the back of his head, "I was thinking about something good for the kids to eat. This piece of pork ribs has been frozen in the cold storage for a long time. It's nothing for us to eat by ourselves. But I didn't have the nerve to take it out just now. Well no."

Su Chen rolled his eyes at Boss Fang.

With the way Fang's Meat operates, this kind of long-frozen pork ribs will definitely not be sold again. Now Fang's meat is in short supply, especially this kind of whole-rib pork chop, which is even more popular.

I guess these two pieces were stored in the cold storage and forgotten, and they are not easy to sell. It would be a waste to throw them away.

Su Chen held up two pieces of pork chops and said, "It's okay. If we have this, let's make it together. What's the point of worrying about frozen meat? Who can eat the meat they bought back in one go?"

This is something only the service industry pays attention to.

Su Chen, who was itching, glanced at Lu Yongliang and became playful. He got into Zhang Jiayi's car and dug around for a while, then he came out with a pot and a shovel.

"What's going on?" Lao Lu saw Su Chen's movements from a distance, "Since when did you bring your own kitchen utensils?"

"I don't understand." Cui Yufen was also puzzled. When he left, he didn't look at Xiao Su to clean up these things. Moreover, looking at the pot in his hand, which was not big or small, it seemed that it was not in the kitchen where the delicious food came from. I've seen it before.

There is also a spatula, which is very flashy!

As the distance got closer, the two of them observed more carefully.

"You're such a flashy guy. PDD costs ninety-nine yuan with free shipping?"

"I guess I bought it after watching the live broadcast on Kuaishou. Whose cook uses this kind of thing? Is it easy to use? Is it uncomfortable to hold it?"

Gan!

Su Chen couldn't argue. Is this thing worth ninety-nine yuan?

You state banquet chefs are really ignorant. This is the God of Cooking suit awarded by my system. Mortals know nothing!

But it should be said that when Su Chen was pretending to look for something in the car just now, he was shocked by the exaggeration of this thing.

The whole golden wok has two circling five-clawed golden dragons tattooed on the handle. Cui Yufen said it was these two dragons that made him panic.

But Su Chen felt okay. On the contrary, with these two golden dragons, the handle of the pot was easier to hold in his hands!

And that spatula is even more exaggerated!

I’m not sure what the material of the shovel is, but the head of the shovel is not thin and light, but rather thick. It feels like a piece of square iron has been welded to the end of an iron handle!

This shovel handle is also the same shape as the pot handle. Two golden dragons are circling each other, from one end to the other end. The two dragons meet at the end of the shovel handle, with the dragon heads facing each other.

What was even more exaggerated was what Su Chen had pinned to his waistband just now.

He dropped the wok on the gas stove and the spatula into the pot.

His right hand reached behind his back and pulled out a knife with a whoosh.

"Holy shit! Boss, what is this, a dragon-slaying knife?"

"Niu was really deceived by a black-hearted businessman. Can you shoot garlic with this look?"

"I'll go, it's almost time to kill someone. What are you doing?"

Facing everyone's doubts, Su Chen remained silent.

I'm thinking that I haven't taken out my pair of chopsticks for you yet. Have you seen the jade chopsticks? Have you ever seen jade chopsticks inlaid with dragons?

I won’t use chopsticks today, it’s too exaggerated.

In short, Su Chen is a little confused now. This God of Cooking suit is full of domineering spirit, but it didn't suppress these people, and dared to laugh at himself as a toy bought by PDD for ninety-nine yuan!

Su Chen immediately threw the two pork chops on the operating table.

‘What’s the secret behind the God of Cooking suit? ’

Let’s start with this bridge pork ribs!
