Food Customizer

The chattering words immediately attracted the attention of the people in the kitchen, and everyone turned their heads to look over.

I saw a big blue-eyed man standing there holding an empty bowl, which was full of chicken bones.

"Who is this?" Liu Abao asked depressedly, "Why did a foreigner come in?"

Thomas could understand Abao because of the headphones, and he said, "I am Thomas, a gourmet from Sweden."

Abao turned his head and looked at the others, "Who knows English?"

"That's right, who can understand this English, Lao Ba, you graduated from high school, please translate it for us."

Chen Lao Ba touched his head, "I graduated from high school for decades, ask the boss, our boss has a high degree!"

Su Chen was also confused.

He graduated from college, but does graduating from college have a direct relationship with understanding English?

But everyone was looking at him, and Su Chen was embarrassed to say that he didn't understand.

"Oh, nothing. He said he was here to help."

So that's it. Everyone nodded, but they felt strange. Why would there be a foreigner here to help? Could it be that he was also invited by Boss Su?

When Thomas heard Su Chen say that he was here to help, he rolled up his sleeves without saying anything, "Yeah, I'm here to help!"

Su Chen didn't have time to care about so much, and immediately clapped his hands, "The white-cut chicken is almost finished, it's time to prepare the next dish."

Everyone looked at a small screen in the kitchen, where they could see the situation in the banquet hall upstairs. At this moment, the guests had indeed almost finished eating, and there were basically only chicken bones left in the bowls.

There were also dissatisfied expressions on everyone's faces.

"Why is the distinguished guest next to me not back from the toilet?" An old lady turned her head curiously and looked at the plate on the table, where three pieces of chicken lay quietly.

It was the white-cut chicken she tasted just now.

"If he doesn't come back, the chicken won't taste good. Bring it to me." The old lady said it very naturally, without any embarrassment, as if this was the way it was supposed to be done.

The young lady in charge of Thomas was also a little strange.

This distinguished guest has been in the bathroom for so long, why hasn't he come back yet? Is he constipated?

The old lady next to her saw that the little girl didn't move, so she didn't bother to ask. She got up and brought Thomas's white-cut chicken over, muttering in her mouth, "How is this chicken cooked? It's even more tender than KFC's."

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating.

Ling Shuyu followed the previously designed plan and started to explain when a video clip was played on the big screen.

"The white-cut chicken in Cantonese cuisine uses the Sanhuang chicken from Qingyuan, also known as Sanhuang yellow chicken. This kind of chicken is all raised in a free-range way, with tender meat and pure fat."

"The cooking method is low-temperature soaking, using the lowest temperature to preserve the most original flavor and the best taste of chicken."

Hearing this, the guests present all took a breath.

Combined with the video on the big screen, they felt even more shocked.

The whole chicken was soaked in the pot of water, but the water was not boiling, which was completely contrary to the traditional cooking method.

Little did they know that this was what Liu Abao said before, a term mentioned by Su Chen when he made fried chicken in Cuihualou: critical value.

Different meats have a critical value for maturity temperature. The West has long had a cooking method of low-temperature soaking steak, but it takes a very long time. Often a 2-centimeter-thick steak needs to be soaked in low-temperature water for up to eight or nine hours to mature.

How to keep the water temperature for such a long time has become the most troublesome problem for many people. At present, they hope to use a high-tech thermostat, which will automatically heat the water when the water temperature is lower than the set temperature, and stop heating when it is higher than the set temperature.

So.

After seeing this video, many gourmets in the banquet hall were shocked at first, and then there was a commotion.

"How is it possible? The thermometer has always been kept at the same temperature and has never moved?"

"Oh God, I remember that the most expensive thermostat now has a temperature adjustment error of nearly 2°. This chef can keep the water temperature in the pot at a constant temperature just by using fire and pot?"

"Is this still a human? Is this magic that only the devil has?"

"So this white-cut chicken is cooked by low-temperature soaking without adding any seasonings, and finally just dipped in onion, ginger and salt juice? It can be so tender and delicious?"

Hiss.

After the guests present figured out the situation, everyone had an expression of disbelief on their faces.

At the same time, the Chinese leader sitting in the main seat received a note. He looked down at the words on it with a smile on his face.

[Denmark hopes to reach a purchase agreement for three-yellow chickens with your country. ]

In the eyes of ordinary people, this food exchange event may be just a simple food exchange, but for senior officials, how can an event be held for no reason?

This is not just an event, but also an opportunity to show off the country's excellent ingredients and cooking techniques!

All dishes that can be outstanding in this banquet will inevitably be loved by foreign friends, and the corresponding ingredients will also receive a certain degree of attention.

If a corresponding order can be signed, it will be icing on the cake for local development. If the export of this kind of food has a good response, these orders will continue to be generated.

This is the true meaning of this food exchange event!

At the same time, it is also the reason why the best chef must be selected to host this banquet. If it is just for luxury, the State Guesthouse is thousands of times better than Delicious in this regard!

As the first ingredient to become an intended order in this event, white-cut chicken is undoubtedly the most favorite dish of the guests present.

The most original taste and flavor completely defeated the guests' taste buds!

When the old lady ate the white-cut chicken on Thomas's table, she looked up and continued to watch the video. She was shocked and suddenly pointed to a corner in the video.

"Isn't that Thomas? Why did he run to the back kitchen?"

If she hadn't noticed it before, the waitress looked closely and it seemed to be true!

The video was showing the process of cutting the chicken after the white-cut chicken was out of the pot. A bearded man was squeezed behind the crowd, holding a bowl in his hand and crying for food, his eyes full of desire and expectation!

"Can we go directly to the kitchen to eat? No, I have to go and see. Sitting here is not as direct as going to the scene to observe."

The old lady was about to get up while talking, and her action also attracted the attention of other guests.

"What's the situation?"

"I just heard her say that it seems that we can go to the kitchen to observe and eat at the same time. I want to go too!"

"Oh my God, is this really appropriate? The host is still sitting here."

"Thomas has gone, why can't we go? Just wear a clean enough chef's uniform! Let's go! Let's go too!"

The old lady's behavior immediately aroused the approval of others, and several guests stood up and pretended to leave their seats.

However, they still had some concerns. Even if they stood up, they still faced the main seat and looked at the Chinese leader, as if they wanted to get an answer.

The leader first looked at the note in his hand, then turned sideways and said a few words to the secretary beside him. The secretary spoke in fluent English.

"Please be patient, everyone. Since everyone hopes to visit our kitchen, it's just that this kind of thing has never happened before, so please let us communicate with the chef first. If it's convenient, it's not a bad idea."

With this, the guests kept quiet and sat down again, and at the same time they were full of expectations for the company's kitchen.

As for the chef, they have already met him. According to the two videos played, today's dishes are not only delicious, but watching the chef cook is also a different kind of enjoyment.

And most importantly, from that video, it seems that as long as they can enter the kitchen, they will be embarrassed to let everyone eat only a few small bites!

This time, they can finally eat to their heart's content, right?

Su Chen was a little dazed when he received the inquiry.

"Xiao Su, what happened?"

Seeing that Su Chen's face was not right, Cui Yu asked with concern.

Su Chen put down the phone, "The guests upstairs collectively suggested that they hope to visit the kitchen and have a meal."

"Nonsense!" Cui Yufen immediately slapped the table beside him, "Isn't this nonsense? Such a high-end banquet, why don't guests eat in the banquet hall and come to the kitchen! Are they making trouble?"

Lu Yongliang disagreed, "Sure enough! No one can escape the law of delicious food. Every guest who comes to delicious food will eventually choose to eat in the kitchen. Since they want to come, then come. What high-end or not, isn't it just a meal in the end?"

That's what he said, but Su Chen still felt something was wrong.

"Okay, everyone get ready. Since there are distinguished guests coming to visit us, we can't play like we did just now. Pay attention to your appearance."

Everyone present almost subconsciously tidied their clothes and checked if there was anything on the operating table that shouldn't be there.

Fortunately, the kitchen under Su Chen's management is quite strict in all aspects. There is no need to worry about hygiene. He just simply cleaned up the tableware used for eating and immediately gave a reply to the superiors.

"Don't just stand there. Do what you need to do. Just pretend they don't exist."

The white-cut chicken of Cantonese cuisine has obviously become the most popular dish today, but there are so many dishes to come.

Su Chen took a deep breath.

Guangdong and Guangxi have already finished one, and the second one is a bit difficult.

Unlike Guangdong Province, the cuisine of Guangxi Province seems to have never been well-known nationwide. It was only in recent years that the sugar orange of an old cousin became famous because of the spread of the Internet.

But when it comes to cooking. After leaving Guangdong and Guangxi, I am afraid that outsiders really don't know what delicious food there is in Guangxi Province.

There is another very important reason for this, which Su Chen only understood after reading the general history.

Gui cuisine is famous for cooking all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. This worked in the past, but now it is basically the same as Northeastern cuisine. A dish can be sold for three years, and expensive dishes may even be sold for life.

Take the Gui cuisine collected in the famous Chinese recipes, for example. Su Chen was so frightened when he browsed through them.

What are red-buttoned pangolins, what are mandarin duck-buttoned civets, and what are iron-fried sand sculptures.

I dare not say whether it tastes good or not, just look at the name and you can tell it is very bad!

Even now, Gui cuisine is still promoted as "natural ecology, original flavor", which also limits the development of Gui cuisine.

So when deciding Gui cuisine, many members of the association had a headache for a long time, and finally decided that the characteristics of Gui cuisine must be highlighted first: fresh, sweet and sour, slightly spicy.

This is also the reason why netizens cannot be allowed to participate in the voting to decide the dishes.

A few days ago, according to the votes of netizens, the first-place voted dish in Gui cuisine was: snail noodles.

Well. In front of so many gourmets around the world, everyone was served a bowl of snail noodles. This picture is simply too beautiful. Anyway, Su Chen dare not imagine it.

In short, Gui cuisine was the most troublesome cuisine for the entire association when it was decided. It not only had to highlight the flavor of Gui cuisine, but also had to take into account the characteristics of "development". When everyone was at a loss, Su Chen proposed a dish that did not violate the rules, highlighted the flavor of Gui cuisine, and took into account the local development.

"Fish maw stewed with sea dogs!"

When Su Chen proposed this dish, some seniors in the association who didn't quite understand Gui cuisine were stunned.

"No way! No way!"

What is a sea dog? Can that thing be eaten?

Forget eating it, is it something that can be talked about?

But when Su Chen explained it, everyone was relieved.

The stewed sea dog in Gui cuisine is not a real sea dog, but a short name for sea dog fish. This fish has several other names that you can understand at a glance.

Giant salamander, baby fish, dog fish!

If you simply say that, this animal is indeed absolutely not to be eaten.

But because dog fish is extremely nutritious, and now artificial breeding technology is very mature, Guangxi Province has already formed a large-scale breeding area. If dog fish can be promoted this time, it may not be a bad thing for local development.

After understanding what Su Chen said, the leaders of the association were relieved, and after some discussion, they believed that the dish proposed by Su Chen was indeed desirable.

After trying to make it once in the kitchen of the State Guesthouse, the texture and taste of this dish instantly conquered everyone.

So, this fish maw stewed with sea dogs became the most popular dish in this banquet!

However, the process of slaughtering sea dogs is still a bit bloody, so Su Chen chose to bear this step alone.

Taking advantage of the quiet night, he prepared the ingredients in the kitchen in advance.

And this dish is also made by boiling first and then steaming.

At this moment, while waiting for the guests to come to the kitchen, everyone silently looked at the countdown alarm clock in front of the steamer in the corner.

[00:00:9]

There are still 9 seconds before the dish is ready! (End of this chapter)
