Food Customizer

Chapter 223

Drain the oil used to fry the chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns.

Wash the cabbage bought from the vending machine and cut it into pieces slightly larger than the meat slices. Peel the ginger and cut it into thin slices of 2 cm square. Cut the scallion into 8 cm long sections.

This is how Chinese food is made. On the surface, it takes a long time to make a dish, but in fact most of the time is spent on preparing the ingredients in advance. As long as the required ingredients can be prepared in advance, the actual cooking will not take much time at all.

This is why many state banquet chefs need a lot of helpers when cooking, and they themselves do not need to handle the ingredients.

Pour the mixed oil into the chef's pot, add a little bean paste and stir-fry until crispy, then add the cabbage, scallions, ginger, and the Shandong-style famous dish clear soup that was previously saved in the practice room.

Soy sauce, pepper powder, Ajinomoto and other condiments are indispensable. Sichuan cuisine is all about seasoning. Without any of them, the taste of the dishes will be lacking.

With the existence of the God of Cooking pot, Su Chen no longer had to deliberately time cooking. The God of Cooking spatula stirred the pot slightly. While the clear soup in the pot was still spinning, he shook the tenderloin slices that had been coated with egg white and put them into the pot.

Then he slowly stirred with the spatula to make all the slices of meat spread out.

The thickness of the top-quality tenderloin was just right, and with the help of the God of Cooking pot, it only took three minutes to cook it.

All the cooked slices of meat were poured into the bowl, and the chopped chili and peppercorns were sprinkled on top. The God of Cooking pot heated the oil again until it smoked, and poured it directly on the surface!

"Zi~~"

When the boiling oil was poured on the surface, the chili powder and peppercorn powder suddenly burst out with a deeper spicy and numbing flavor, and the slightly red mixed oil quickly floated on the soup surface with this fragrance.

"This is my understanding of boiled pork slices."

The last boiling oil is almost heated to the temperature of burning. When it is poured into the bowl, it can not only fry the chili and pepper, but more importantly, it can also cook the cooked meat slices for a second time.

Frying in a bowl!

A home-cooked dish of boiled pork slices is successfully made. The soup in the white bowl is dark in color. Even if you get a little closer, you can feel the mellow taste. The fragrance is so strong that you can smell it from a long distance.

Su Chen picked up a piece with his chef chopsticks to taste.

"Huh? There is something in this vending machine!"

The meat slices are tender, but not pure tenderness.

Many times when eating in restaurants, the pork that feels particularly tender is actually made with technology. The tenderness is tender when you bite it, as if someone put this piece of meat directly into your mouth and told your mouth: This meat is very tender!

This piece of meat is different.

It is indeed very tender when you bite it lightly, but you can also taste the texture of pork fiber under the tender taste, as if it is a perfect combination of the two tastes of "tenderness and wood", not only fresh and tender, but also chewy, it is amazing!

What really surprised Su Chen was that because of this taste of the tenderloin, the fibers of the meat slices were particularly absorbent. When he put it in his mouth, he almost completely absorbed the spicy and fresh aroma of the soup on the surface of the meat slices, plus the characteristics of the chef pot that can make the ingredients and taste blend faster.

"This is called boiled pork slices, what the hell did I eat before?"

Even in the practice room, Su Chen still couldn't help but eat it with relish, not caring about the hot mouth, just swishing it into his mouth.

A pound of tenderloin was eaten in a few minutes, and he even looked at the bowl of soup with a little thought.

"Forget it, I'd better not drink the soup."

When Su Chen put away the chef suit with satisfaction and prepared to leave, he realized a problem.

"Did I forget to give my review?"

I was too lazy to do it again. Su Chen's taste level could basically tell that this dish was S-level!

Without further ado, Su Chen left the practice room. After returning to reality, he rubbed his stomach and felt very depressed.

This was the bad thing about the practice room. No matter how much you ate in it, no matter how delicious it was, you would feel like you didn't eat anything after returning to reality. It was as if you had a feast in a dream, and after waking up, there was nothing left except endless emptiness.

Just when Su Chen was hesitating whether to go to the kitchen to make a boiled pork slice to satisfy his appetite, Ling Shuyu called.

"Boss, the ingredients you ordered have been delivered. Do you want me to take them up?"

"Oh?" Su Chen, who had just used the practice room, didn't say much. After a little confusion, he said, "Bring them up."

A few minutes later, Ling Shuyu directed Bai Xiaobo and Liu Abao to the 19th floor.

"Hasn't Fang Chang always been the one to deliver these things? Has he changed people?" Ling Shuyu asked.

Su Chen shook his head and said nothing. He recognized the tenderloin in Liu Abao's hand at a glance. Wasn't that what he bought in the practice room?

In other words

Su Chen secretly thought that the practice room might use various methods to deliver the ingredients to him, like Coke appeared on the desk out of thin air.

This time, there were more ingredients and condiments purchased, so he arranged for a courier to deliver them, but this courier seemed to be delivered instantly, which was a strange feeling.

After sending Ling Shuyu and the others away, Su Chen searched over and over but couldn't find the information of the delivery company. He had to put the condiments in the position he was used to. Just like Coke, these condiments were also packed in exquisite glass bottles, and there was no product information on the surface.

If someone doesn’t know, they might think it’s a three-no product.

Then put the green onions, cabbage, tenderloin, etc. in the refrigerator.

After getting the ingredients, Su Chen didn’t cook, but returned to the office excitedly. He suddenly thought of something.

‘What if I use the ingredients in the practice room to complete this gourmet customization? ’

Now the ingredients for boiled pork slices are ready, and there are still seven dishes left.

Suddenly I’m a little excited!

Sichuan Province.

Wang Zhijun packed all his luggage and belongings, and packed two large suitcases.

“Old Wang, are you sure you really want to work at Delicious?”

Good brother Liu Guochu came all the way from Hunan Province just to confirm it again.

“When I told Lu Yongliang, I just laughed it off. Are you really going?”

Wang Zhijun was still busy and didn’t have time to see Liu Guochu. He stuffed his brand new chef uniform into the box and zipped it up.

"Yes, it's settled." After saying that, Lao Wang stood up and sat on the chair. "After I came back last time, I kept thinking about it. I always felt that our trip to Jingzhou was a set-up. How could it be such a coincidence that we just happened to run into Cui Yufen and Lu Yongliang and others having a meal? And we just happened to eat the dishes they made?"

"You mean?" Liu Guochu took a breath and felt something was wrong. "I didn't think about this, but Boss Su's cooking skills are really good."

Wang Zhijun shook his head. "There are a few dishes that are okay. Take the fried watermelon for example. Can it be called delicious? I admit that the Dengying beef is not bad."

"Then you Still going?"

Wang Zhijun nodded, "Have you forgotten that there is another item in the membership level of the association? If you want to upgrade, you can challenge other chefs! Among the people I brought this time..."

He didn't need to finish his words, Liu Guochu opened his eyes wide, completely confused, "You... If Cui Yufen and others knew about this, they would kill you?"

"Tsk!" Wang Zhijun was quite disdainful, "Anyway, I am also the president of the two provincial cooking associations, and the chef of the Sichuan and Hunan cuisine department of the State Guest House. With this identity, I will go to work at Delicious. Boss Su, won't lose face, right?"

"Of course not." Liu Guochu replied.

"That's right. Since I'm going to work at Delicious, shouldn't Boss Su show me a level that I'm convinced of? This time I'm going, let's see how he makes a 50,000 yuan meal. If he makes me convinced, I won't work for him for free!"

Liu Guochu thought for a while and asked, "What if you're not satisfied with what Boss Su does?"

Old Wang was happy, "I'm sorry. I've challenged a restaurant with two Level 4 members. It's not too much to upgrade me to Level 4, right?"

Hiss! ! !

Liu Guochu took a breath and felt a chill on his back at what Wang Zhijun said.

When did this old Wang have such a good brain?

He can stay at Delicious to work and improve his level, or he can succeed in the challenge and be promoted to Level 4 perfectly. This is a great plan!

"No, Lao Wang, I'll place an order with Delicious right now. You spent 50,000, right? I'll also place an order of 50,000!"

Wang Zhijun pressed down Liu Guochu's excited hand, "Don't worry, there are only a few judges responsible for the challenge scoring. It's not too late to place an order after I'm done!"

After that, Wang Zhijun sighed, "I've worked hard all my life, and at this age I still have to work hard for this broken membership level. It's really interesting."

"Who told you not to let it go."

The two leaned back in their chairs and stopped talking. There was a hint of melancholy in the silence, and no one knew what they were thinking.

But Wang Zhijun would never have thought that Boss Su, who was supposed to prepare a customized meal for him, was doing what at this moment.

Yes, Su Chen was really busy in the office studying what to do with the remaining seven dishes, but before he could even sit down, he was interrupted by Ling Shuyu's call.

"Guests are coming."

"What guests? Just receive them." Su Chen buried his head in the famous recipes and felt that he had discovered some new content.

Ling Shuyu's tone was very serious, "It's not a guest I can receive. He is in the office on the second floor. You'd better come quickly."

Su Chen said curiously, "What guest?"

"The secretary of the development zone, Secretary Liao. And the reporter of Jingzhou TV, Cai Sirong."

Hiss!

Su Chen really didn't dare to delay this time. Cai Sirong was okay, but why did such a high-ranking official like the secretary of the development zone come to our company?

He didn't hesitate, simply tidied his clothes and went downstairs immediately. When he walked into the second floor, he saw a scene that he could only see on TV before.

The middle-aged man in an executive jacket and silver-framed glasses must be Secretary Liao. He was standing at the glass window of the kitchen for inspection, followed by a large group of people dressed in the same way, who were probably the leaders in charge of various departments in the development zone.

Cai Sirong was next to him, holding a camera and taking pictures.

Su Chen quickened his pace and walked over. Liao Zhenhua over there also noticed him and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"You are Boss Su, right? You are really young and promising!"

It was the first time for Su Chen to shake hands with such a big boss. He said modestly, a little embarrassed, "You are too kind. How about we go to the lounge upstairs and sit down first?"

Liao Zhenhua looked at Su Chen for a long time, pursed his lips and nodded, as if his father-in-law was looking at his son-in-law. He was obviously very satisfied, "There is no need to sit down. I would like to visit each floor. Is it convenient?"

Su Chen glanced at Ling Shuyu, then turned back and said with a smile, "Of course it's convenient! It's just that it's about to open at four o'clock, as long as you don't mind the crowd."

"It's okay."

Liao Zhenhua stood up grandly and put his hands behind his back as usual. Su Chen consciously walked side by side with Secretary Liao, and other leaders in charge followed behind them.

Ling Shuyu walked at the front to lead the way.

"There is no need for an elevator, just walk from the second floor to the third floor."

"The steps are here, please."

Su Chen could feel that Secretary Liao was relatively kind in his speech. The nervousness just now was gradually dissipating and his words became more concise.

"The second floor just now is our delicious dining table. It is currently mainly responsible for meals and lunch breaks for students in the agency's kindergarten. It also provides free catering services for kindergarten teachers."

Liao Zhenhua had a clear understanding of the operating conditions of Meishilai before coming here, but after hearing Su Chen's personal introduction, he nodded with great satisfaction, "Since it is for children to eat and rest, hygienic conditions and safety must be maintained Put in more effort.”

"That's what you said." Su Chen nodded with a smile and continued, "This is the third floor. It specializes in home-cooked dishes. Currently, there are only two chefs who can make a total of thirty categories of home-cooked dishes."

Liao Zhenhua walked out of the stairwell and entered the third floor, "I see you have quite a few kitchens here. Why are there only two chefs?"

Speaking of this, Su Chen was in trouble.

"In order to ensure the quality of the food, our company has relatively high requirements for chefs. There is currently no open external recruitment. These two chefs were all introduced by friends and are very famous in Shandong Province."

Liao Zhenhua walked to Zhang Heping, held the window with one hand and looked inside a few times, "Well, not bad. In my opinion, the third floor needs at least five chefs!"

Su Chen noticed that while Secretary Liao was holding the window, his fingers inadvertently rubbed the window sill.

I thought that this secretary was quite good, but he also had the intention of conducting a secret inspection.

Fortunately, Aunt Fang has been cleaning for so many years and is very strict with her outsourced aunties. As for the kitchen here, the chef himself is responsible for cleaning.

Both Zhang Heping and Lao Shiqi are famous chefs in Shandong Province. They themselves have very good hygiene requirements, so there is no need to worry about this.

Liao Zhenhua rubbed his fingers with his hands behind his back again.

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

You know, the food delivery window of a restaurant often drips oil stains and other things. Even if it is cleaned every day, it is difficult to keep it clean.

But when he rubbed it, he found that there was no oil stain on the countertop!

This made Liao Zhenhua couldn't help but think more highly of Su Chen.

There was absolutely no advance plan or arrangement for the inspection here today. Liao Zhenhua had just finished a meeting in the development zone and happened to pass by the delicious company, so he came in on a whim.

So Delicious always maintains such hygienic conditions?

good!

Liao Zhenhua continued to walk in, his tone sounded like he was chatting with Su Chen, "Has Boss Su considered adding more chef positions so that our company can maximize its operating capabilities?"

Su Chen followed Secretary Liao and stopped, the two of them faced each other, "To be honest, the company has maintained the principle of focusing on quality rather than quantity since the day it opened. Chefs must be recruited, but not casually. Recruitment. We are also thinking of various ways to attract some talents.”

Liao Zhenhua smiled and nodded.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door on the third floor, and a leader in charge with a leather bag stepped forward to block Su Chen and the two behind him.

Su Chen could feel it.

The leadership aura of this executive jacket is obviously different from the others. His hair is cut very neatly, and his eyes flash from time to time with a hint of shrewdness and fierceness.

"It's time, boss, there should be customers here." Ling Shuyu's fake smile was apologetic.

Liao Zhenhua pointed to a table, "It doesn't matter! We happen to have a meeting at noon and everyone is too busy to have a good meal, so we might as well have a meal here."

After that, he said to Su Chen as if joking, "By the way, Boss Su, how do you sell the dishes here?"

Su Chen didn't say anything about my treat. He naturally took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code on the table, "Here's the price. You can order here, or you can order directly at the window."

Liao Zhenhua took out his mobile phone and scanned the code, looking at it for a long time.

"Well, the prices are okay. Although they are not particularly affordable, they are quite satisfactory. Let's see, there are eight of us here, and we will only order eight dishes! Does Boss Su have any good recommendations?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Then let's have four meat and four vegetarian dishes."

Seeing that Secretary Liao had no objection, he waved his hand towards the kitchen and said, "Second, Seventeen, fry four meat and four vegetables for this table."

Liao Zhenhua found that as soon as Su Chen finished speaking, eight ordered dishes appeared on his phone.

They are: mapo tofu, stir-fried yellow beef, sweet braised pork, scrambled eggs with chives, Jingzhou oily pork, tender bean sprouts in vinegar, red oil sausage, and boiled green vegetables.

Eight dishes, including meat and vegetables, sweet and salty, everything you need, total consumption: 338 yuan.

This price also made Liao Zhenhua quite satisfied. Generally speaking, eight people eating eight dishes is definitely enough. The per capita consumption level is a little over 40 yuan, which is not bad.

This is the characteristic of stir-frying. The fewer people there are, the more expensive it will feel. If there are really many people, it will not be so expensive.

Liao Zhenhua wanted to say something, but Ling Shuyu came over with the dishes.

The secretary was slightly surprised, "So fast?"

You are not serving us pre-prepared dishes, are you?

Su Chen poured hot water for several leaders, "Yes, we have already processed all the vegetables and meats before the opening at four o'clock. After someone orders the meal, the chef can prepare it directly. For example, this vinegar-fried tender bean sprouts only takes less than three minutes."

Blanching and stir-frying, it's that simple.

"Wow!" Liao Zhenhua felt quite novel.

He immediately picked up the bean sprouts with chopsticks and tasted it.

The tender bean sprouts were simply blanched to remove the bean smell, and were stir-fried over high heat. The seasoning was as simple as soy sauce and white vinegar. This was a dish that was all about taste.

Every chew was accompanied by a rubbing sound, and at the same time, the fresh juice in the bean sprouts burst out, exuding the most original natural flavor.

Liao Zhenhua nodded in surprise, "This dish is very cost-effective at 18 yuan."

Other leaders in charge also nodded, and their chopsticks could not stop at all. Fortunately, Ling Shuyu brought rice to everyone at the critical moment.

"This braised pork is delicious, cherry-flavored braised pork! 88 is OK, by the way, Boss Su, can we take away the dishes here? I'll bring some back to my family tonight."

"Quick, try this stir-fried beef! Oh, this meat is really good, you can feel that it is definitely fresh beef, ordinary beef can't be fried to this taste!"

"And this, the mapo tofu is too tasty! I have to ask the chef of the unit to come and learn from it one day, haha!"

The prices of these dishes are moderate, and basically normal working class people can afford them. After all, no one will go to a restaurant every day, and it is not a luxury to have such a meal occasionally.

These leaders wearing executive jackets eat here, and the burden on their hearts is much lighter.

Even if someone takes a video or something, they will never panic. The eight of us ate more than 300 yuan, which is not a waste at all!

Liao Zhenhua only said that sentence, and then he found that the situation was a little wrong.

Normally, if these people were sitting at the same table with me, they would be very reserved when eating. What happened today?

They didn't say a word, especially the one in charge of industry and commerce, who picked up the beef with big chopsticks and put it on the rice to eat?

Isn't it too ugly to eat?

Secretary Liao soon realized that if he continued to hold it, he might not be full today!

Eight dishes, it is definitely enough to eat, but it is delicious!

It took about ten minutes to eat, and the "CD Action" was realized directly!

Secretary Liao sighed a little unsatisfied. He came to inspect the work today, not to eat and drink. It would be inappropriate to order more food.

He paid for the meal with his mobile phone, "Not bad, there is a reason why Delicious is doing well. Such prices and such dishes are very cost-effective!"

Cai Sirong on the side quickly recorded all the secretary's speeches. This is precious news material.

At this time, more and more people started to come to the third floor. Secretary Liao looked at the long queue in front of the window of the two chefs and said, "Fortunately, we came early. Haha. Let's go to the fourth floor now?"

Su Chen didn't waste words.

He took several leaders to the fourth floor. When he went up the stairs, Su Chen also specifically said, "Secretary, there may be more people on the fourth floor. If you have a favorite snack, you can tell me. I will arrange for someone to prepare it in advance tomorrow and wait for you to come."

Liao Zhenhua smiled and said, "No, if you really like it, we can just queue up."

When Liao Zhenhua walked into the fourth floor, he finally knew why Su Chen said that just now.

"Why are there so many people here?"

Ling Shuyu smiled and said, "This is just the daily flow of people in Delicious. It's like this every day. The boss is also worried that you don't have enough time today, so he said to prepare it for you tomorrow."

Liao Zhenhua was shocked beyond words by the scene in front of him.

He has been to the food street in the city. The flow of people there is still good, but compared with the people in front of him, it is simply not worth mentioning!

The rows of small stalls were packed with people, almost like people were squeezing each other!

The dining tables over there were also full, and many people had to be squeezed into the corners to wait in line.

"Excuse me, with such a large flow of people, how much is your monthly turnover?"

Su Chen was not modest this time, and stretched out a finger, "Ten million."

Hiss! ! !

All the leaders present gasped.

Monthly turnover, ten million?

Especially the head of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, who looked at Su Chen in disbelief, "I remember you only paid a few hundred thousand in taxes last month, how come..."

"The snack bar on the fourth floor has been open for less than a month, hehe."

The director immediately smiled.

If calculated according to this ratio, the big household, Meishilai, is definitely the big taxpayer in the development zone!

Liao Zhenhua was also quite shocked. He had known that Taishui was doing a good job, but it was only during today's on-site inspection that he really realized how good it was.

This is such a hit!

"What about further up?" Liao Zhenhua pointed to the sky, "Is there any more?"

Su Chen took several people to a relatively quiet place, "Yes. The sixth and eighth floors are planned to have famous cuisines, focusing on relatively high-end dishes. The chefs are all state banquet-level chefs, although there are currently only two , but I believe there will be more in the future.”

Oops!

Liao Zhenhua only felt that his scalp was numb. Have you fixed the state banquet chef?

Immediately, he said, "You guys are here now, I'm going to have a private chat with Boss Su."

Su Chen was slightly stunned and led the secretary to his office on the 19th floor.

"This floor is mainly my daily life, and my finances are also here. Some of the customized dining is also here."

Liao Zhenhua was not interested in this, so he asked instead, "Are you planning to turn this whole building into a restaurant?"

Su Chen looked at him, "Yes. It's okay to leave it alone anyway. If it is rented by others and it looks messy in the future, I might as well rent it all myself."

"Tsk" Liao Zhenhua lowered his voice and spoke. He looked like the leader of the first district.

"Boss Su, don't you know about the cooking association in the capital?"

"I know." Su Chen thought Liao Junhua was talking about membership registration, "I'm not interested in that level of registration."

How can the quality of a chef's skills be judged by just one membership level?

Su Chen always thought that stuff was very nonsense.

"No, no." Secretary Liao waved his hands, "It seems that the confidentiality of this matter is pretty good. In that case, I won't reveal it for now. In short, if you really want to turn this whole building into a catering place, I’m going to give you some advice personally.”

"Please tell me."

Su Chen suddenly became serious. Although the two of them were chatting calmly, in fact, if you think about it carefully, the person in front of you is the top leader of the development zone!

In other words, this person has the most say on how the development zone will develop in the future and in which direction it will go.

"I personally suggest that you choose at least two floors to build a large banquet hall as soon as possible. The specifications must be according to the highest standards."

"Any explanation?" Su Chen asked doubtfully.

"Ahem. This is just my personal suggestion. If you set up a company in the development zone, we will all prosper. It's just my personal suggestion. You can listen to it or not."

After saying that, the secretary stood up and looked around as if he had said nothing just now.

Pointing to several small private rooms outside the door, "Is it expensive to eat on this floor?"

Su Chen answered honestly, "Xiaogui."

Liao Zhenhua didn't seem to care, he just nodded and walked towards the elevator with his hands behind his back.

"There will be an award ceremony held in the district in a few days. You can come and receive the award in person then."

"Awarded to me?" Su Chen was very surprised. He had never heard of this.

"Well, your meal delivery in the snow has had a big impact on the city, so we should show some signs of it."

The two of them walked downstairs again.

Back and forth, until Su Chen sent the leaders away, he was still a little dreamy.

"What are they doing here?"

"I guess I just want to see you." Ling Shuyu watched the minibus disappear, "and then have a look at the company."

Su Chen shook his head, "Secretary Liao suggested that we choose two floors of the building to build a large banquet hall as soon as possible."

"Is it too early?" Ling Shuyu turned around, "The snack bar on the fourth floor has just started. Our cash flow is pretty good, but it is a bit difficult to invest in the banquet hall."

There are still two banquet halls of 500 square meters!

This thing is a huge investment, especially for someone like Su Chen. If you want to do it, you must do your best.

Therefore, many details need to be carefully considered, from decoration to lighting, to the selection of tables, chairs, benches, and tableware.

Such a project is no smaller than the hotel floor, or even much larger.

But the effect is very limited.

First of all, it can be used for weddings and funerals, and then for some large-scale event gatherings and the like. If you want to make money back, you really have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

"Take your time first, don't be too hasty."

When the two returned to the building, Ling Shuyu muttered, "It's obvious that Secretary Liao hopes that we can solve part of the employment problem."

"We have nothing to do with this matter." Su Chen decisively refused, "All the positions at Delicious Food are for those who are capable. I will naturally take those who are capable. It's useless to come if I don't. Okay, you can't do it these days. Keep an eye on the renovation progress of the famous restaurant. You can postpone the first floor to give Lao Lu and Lao Cui a place to go. "

Otherwise, these two people would really have some free time.

Su Chen added, "I just said that there will be an awards event in the city in a few days. You can attend it for me then. There is a big order here on the 19th floor, and I can't get away from it."

Su Chen had promised well just now, but Su Chen immediately regretted it.

After arranging these things, Su Chen looked at the time and saw that the day was coming to an end.

So fast!

There are still seven dishes yet to be decided!
