Food Customizer

I saw Su Chen working in an orderly manner, but after all, there was only one person, so the speed of doing it was still a bit slow.

The old man's greed has begun to get out of control, and he just wants to prepare these dishes and serve them on the table. After all, even he is too lazy to cook such complicated dishes when he gets home.

"Little brother, how about I help you by washing your hands?"

Su Chen shook his head, remembering clearly what the employees did to help him in the morning, "Forget it, others helping will only cause trouble. Besides, you are a distinguished guest, how can you cook?"

"Uh." Lu Yongliang didn't expect that the reason for being rejected was so simple. This was the first time in his life that he was refused to cook.

Usually others beg him to take action. So this kid doesn’t know who he is?

That would be interesting.

"Little brother." Lu Yongliang came closer. I don't know if he has been watching too many Douyin videos of those old guys recently. Seeing Su Chen's pure traditional cooking skills was really a bit tiring, so he showed off his cards.

"Actually, I'm also a cook."

"Ah?" Su Chen slowed down while stirring the minced red fish meat, not knowing what the old gentleman meant.

"I see that the ingredients you prepared should be at least a dozen dishes. I'm also hungry and want to eat early. You asked me to do a favor and let's see who tastes better. How about it?"

Su Chen shook his head and stopped moving his hands.

During the time when the old man came in, Su Chen also understood a little bit. He was a knowledgeable person. He asked a few small questions very carefully, and he asked about the key points of the dishes.

Regardless of whether he knows how to cook or not, he is definitely a person who knows how to eat.

But I’m really not interested in competing or anything, and you won’t give me any money!

"Old sir, I think deliciousness is a very personal thing, just like this fish cake meatballs. It may be a heavenly delicacy to the people of Shashi, but to" Su Chen pointed to the door.

"There is a girl in our company who has been unable to eat greasy food since she was a child. This dish may be difficult for her to swallow."

This is Su Chen's philosophy.

If you don't like to eat something, you won't like it no matter what you do. This is the instinctive resistance of the human body.

What a qualified gourmet has to do is to make the food a person likes to eat taste better!

Lu Yongliang also knows this, but he has always felt that when it comes to food, if it is delicious, it is delicious, and if it is not delicious, it is not delicious!

How can there be so many explanations?

But what Su Chen said made Lu Yongliang a little unconvinced.

What does a chef do? It means mixing the ingredients and adding seasonings to create a delicious taste that far exceeds the ingredients themselves.

A person who doesn't like to eat meat must prepare the meat to the extent that he likes to eat it. Only then can he be a qualified cook.

"How about this." Lu Yongliang pointed to the fish tank, "I'll help you with the other dishes. We'll each cook this dish. Let Shang Mingke try it and see whose one tastes better!"

Su Chen was a little confused by the old man's tricks.

This old gentleman is one of Ling Shuyu's VIPs. If he refuses, he might offend someone. But if he doesn't refuse, I have never seen a VIP come to a restaurant and cook for himself. Isn't this nonsense?

The movements of the hands sped up a bit. Put the red fish mince and lean meat mince into the basin, add water, wet starch, egg yolk, ginger, MSG and refined salt and stir into fish paste.

Su Chen quickly washed his hands and said, "Old sir, please wait for me first."

He was a little unsure about this matter.

Ling Shuyu is his first customer, so it's best to ask him first.

Su Chen walked out of the kitchen and clicked on Ling Shuyu's WeChat dialog box. After typing a few words, he deleted it.

Ling Shuyu is busy now and probably doesn't know how to check her phone. Zhang Li went to the conference room and hasn't come out yet, so she definitely can't be contacted.

"Who is that!" Su Chen shouted to the man with black-rimmed glasses next to He Shuting, "Come here."

Wang Rui was looking at his cell phone in front of He Shuting. He pointed at himself uncertainly, "Me?"

Su Chen nodded and asked Wang Rui when he came over, "Now there is a customer in your company who has to cook the food himself. He also wants to compete with me. What should you do if you ask Mr. Ling?"

Wang Rui doesn’t understand this either.

Usually when he is in the general office, the leader directly arranges things for them to do. Now that Mr. Ling is in the conference room, who dares to disturb him.

If you want to follow the usual practice

Wang Rui said with certainty, "Mr. Ling has said before that when dealing with Party A's customers, we must do everything possible to meet their needs!"

"You mean it's okay?" Su Chen asked again.

"There should be no problem. After all, this is what the customer requested."

Su Chen nodded, it would be nice if someone took the blame.

He immediately turned around and returned to the kitchen, "Old man, I'll bother you then!"

Lu Yongliang had already washed his hands and put on an apron in the kitchen, "Hey, why bother? I see you are really anxious doing it alone, so let's hurry up!"

After saying that, the old man directly poured the sesame oil that Su Chen had prepared into the pot.

With just one glance, Su Chen knew that this old man was indeed knowledgeable. Others would probably use ordinary vegetable oil to fry the meatballs at this time.

But the old gentleman chose sesame oil without asking, which shows that at least he understands this dish.

Compared with other vegetable oils, sesame oil is not heat-resistant and is less destructive to the minced meat. After frying in this way, the texture is crispy, crispy and fragrant, and it can remain soft for a long time.

It took a long time to steam the fish cakes, and since the old man took care of the croquettes, Su Chen naturally couldn't be left behind.

The pork strips, one inch and three centimeters long and eight centimeters wide, have been marinated with various seasonings for five minutes.

Now it’s time to make the second time-consuming dish, steamed pork with rice flour.

The steamed pork with rice flour in Hubei Province is slightly different from that in other places.

As the origin of steamed pork with rice flour, Gan Province still retains the ancient method of making it, using vegetable leaves as the base, but Hubei Province uses lotus roots as the base. In addition to eating meat, lotus roots are also a very colorful side dish!

Su Chen has already ground the fried yellow rice into fish-sized powder in advance, and cut the old lotus roots into strips after scraping and cleaning them, mix them with rice flour and put them into the bowl.

The marinated pork is also mixed with rice flour, and the skin is neatly placed in the bowl against the bottom of the bowl, and put into the steamer together with the bowl containing lotus roots and put into the pot.

This dish needs to be steamed for nearly an hour. The production time before and after is almost the same as that of fish cake meatballs. With the addition of the old man, the time may be a little longer.

But this is not a problem.

Steamed dishes take a long time to prepare. There is a saying in Hubei Province: Three steamings, nine stir-fries and ten bowls. If you don't use a steamer, you won't be entertained.

Although it is impossible to make this specification, three steamings are a sign of respect for the guests. If you really make more than ten stir-fried dishes, some people in Hubei Province who are particular will probably throw the table and get angry on the spot!

While the old man was frying the meatballs, Su Chen immediately started to prepare the third dish.

Eight-treasure pumpkin soup! The third steaming designed by Su Chen!

Seeing Su Chen take out the pumpkin with the stem removed, Lu Yongliang's speed of frying meatballs dropped significantly.

Oh my god, there is this thing? It's another traditional dish!

Who is this little brother?
