At this time, the kitchen became Su Chen's stage alone.

Add lard to the wok, add the shiitake mushrooms with stems removed and cut into two halves, remove the stems and steam the scallops over high heat into the wok, and start stir-frying like crazy!

With full proficiency in [Sauteing], Su Chen was able to do this step very easily. He held the handle of the pot in his left hand and put it down from time to time while the large spoon in his right hand rotated back and forth.

[As I write this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→🅣🅦🅚🅐🅝.🅒🅞🅜]

The mushrooms and scallops are constantly making crackling sounds as they are stir-fried. This scene is actually quite pleasing to the eye!

"How old is your boss?" Lu Yongliang asked, turning his head.

He didn't know that Ling Shuyu and Su Chen were two companies. He only thought that Su Chen was the boss here and Ling Shuyu was an employee here.

"About twenty-six years old? Maybe twenty-four." Ling Shuyu couldn't figure out how old Su Chen was.

For a person whose WeChat address is [Andorra], it is quite difficult to find clues from his social account.

"At this age" Lu Yongliang held his chin with one hand.

He wouldn't be surprised if Su Chen kept flipping the pot and stir-frying. Many chef schools taught this. Of course, flipping the pot was also a very practical skill.

But Su Chen didn't.

The process of stir-frying is entirely based on the use of the large spoon in the right hand, while the left hand is holding the pot handle up and down, which is controlling the distance between the pot and the fire, in order to achieve the purpose of heating up and cooling down!

This is interesting

After the ingredients were stir-fried for a minute, Su Chen added the steaming juice from the previously steamed scallops and chicken broth. After boiling, he added MSG, white sugar, refined salt, soy sauce, and scallions in sequence.

After simmering for two minutes, a small spoonful of wet starch is used to thicken the meat, then half a spoonful of lard is poured on it and the dish is served.

The plates here had just been loaded, and Su Chen turned to another stove.

"Good guy!" Lu Yongliang was troubled by this operation, "No wonder Boss Su didn't want me to intervene just now!"

One dish has just been put on the plate, and the other side starts to cook immediately!

There is almost no pause!

Heat the sesame oil and sauté the minced ginger slightly until fragrant. Pour the cooked bacon into the pot and stir-fry for a minute before serving.

Then add beetroot, add refined salt and stir-fry for two minutes. Return the bacon to the pot and stir-fry for one minute.

It can be said that this dish has no technical content at all just by looking at it!

In fact, there is really no technical content

But Lu Yongliang, who was still watching, kept nodding, "Red cabbage moss is only available around the Spring Festival. Now that technology has developed, you can buy it at any time. This dish itself has a local flavor and is considered a seasonal dish."

"Seasonal dishes?" Ling Shuyu said subconsciously.

"It's like the three fresh dishes from Northeast China, dishes that follow the seasons."

Shang Mingke also nodded slightly, "It's also delicious just stir-fried with vegetable sprouts, but it has to be stir-fried with lard."

This dish only took four or five minutes in total. Su Chen turned back to the other stove and took out the fried crispy balls that he had started to put on the plate.

The vacated stove was immediately filled with a wok.

"Boss Su," Lu Yongliang held his forehead and smiled, "One person can be as good as the entire kitchen team in the hotel!"

Then he turned around and asked, "Does he usually do this?"

Ling Shuyu said calmly, "I usually cook some simple meals, and there will be many employees to help with the ingredients. He is only responsible for some key links."

"That's okay!" Lu Yongliang said, "It would be bad if such a good seedling is wasted on such nonsense."

While he was talking, the lard in the wok was already heating up.

Shred chicken, pork tenderloin, and pork belly while frying and spread with a spoon.

After about two minutes, pour out the oil in the pot and leave some oil, simmer the green onions and ginger until fragrant, return three shreds to the pot, then add shredded ham, shredded mushrooms, and shredded orchid slices and stir-fry for two minutes, then stir-fry three shreds at a time and it is ready. .

Su Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the other ingredients on the table. There were two dishes left!

"Okay, Boss Su, let's do this." Lu Yongliang stepped forward and said.

"How can that be done? We still have a few dishes to cook." Su Chen pointed to the ingredients.

There is still a sweet-scented osmanthus sweet potato pancake and honey-glazed sweet lotus root left to make.

"It's really okay. Even if we make so much, we can't finish it." Lu Yongliang shook his head, "Originally, we didn't plan to eat. I also saw your video and was a little curious. Then I got itchy. It's up to me."

"Ah" This was the first time Su Chen saw someone taking the blame for himself.

"Because I interfered in your kitchen randomly, I figured it out. If it weren't for me, all these dishes would have been finished long ago."

That’s what it meant.

This is quite true.

According to Su Chen's thinking, the sweet lotus roots have just been steamed and can be cooked into sauce at this time, but the lotus roots haven't been put into the steamer yet.

"So, that's it. It doesn't matter if you miss two dishes, as long as you don't miss that one." Lu Yongliang pointed at the fish tank.

It is obvious that he is very obsessed with this steamed Wuchang fish.

Shang Mingke also nodded. Eating Hubei food but not Wuchang fish is like going to a mountain city and not eating hot pot.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and take your seats." Su Chen picked up the plates in front of him. Ling Shuyu was helpful this time, also holding two plates.

The four of them returned to the canteen.

In just ten minutes, six stir-fried dishes were placed on the table.

The round table that had just been completely eaten became fragrant again.

Serving food is also a technical job. It is easy to finish each dish in an instant. If you serve many dishes at one time, you will eat much less.

Looking at so many dishes, Shang Mingke stretched out his arms and first pointed his chopsticks at the sea cucumber made by Lu Yongliang.

Similarly, Su Chen also targeted this dish.

The sea cucumber on the plate is brownish white, accompanied by red diced ham, green scallions, and light yellow magnolia slices. The color is harmonious. The visual effect can be said to have reached the pinnacle of the dish!

Su Chen chose a piece of wonton.

The wontons, which are wrapped in meat and shrimp and then deep-fried, have a distinct umami flavor in your mouth, and the skin is very crunchy when you bite into it.

After savoring a wonton and a sea cucumber, Su Chen's sensitive taste buds immediately tasted something.

‘The old gentleman did not add chicken skin slices when making this dish’

‘So the taste is not as fresh as the one I made, but it will taste more fragrant’

The flavor is subtle yet magical, a light and elegant feeling.

‘Chicken skin slices are full of fat, which not only improves the freshness but also makes the already oily dishes more oily. However, adding chicken skin or not does not affect the evaluation level of the dish.’

This dish has always been rated A in the practice room.

Su Chen silently kept this point in mind and prepared to try it several times when he was not busy.

On the other side, the first dish Lu Yongliang tried was the scallops and mushrooms.

“The scallops are tender and glutinous, the mushrooms are crispy, soft and mellow, salty and delicious, not bad!”

Likewise, this dish is also a grade A dish.

Skipping this dish, I picked up another chopstick and shredded it.

This time, Lu Yongliang's eyes lit up, "The ham is fragrant, the mushrooms are soft, the color and taste are different, and the taste is smooth, it's okay!"

Ordinary people will give priority to eating the three shredded noodles when eating this dish. For a knowledgeable person like Lu Yongliang, the first bite must be to eat the auxiliary ingredients first and then the main ingredient.

When Lu Yongliang took a piece of chopsticks and put it into the bowl, he glanced at Shang Mingke from the corner of his eye.

The chopsticks in his hand paused for a moment, "Xiao Ke, what are you doing!"

Shang Mingke didn't know when he left his seat with the bowl and was looking around.

"Uncle Lu, I need a bowl of rice. I feel uncomfortable eating these dishes without some rice!"

Su Chen:? . ?

rice?

The A+S-level dishes I worked so hard to cook, you say it’s a meal?

Thanks to the delicious canteen, a large amount of rice is cooked in a large steamer every meal time, and today is no exception.

Shang Mingke dug out a bowl of rice and returned to the dining table. He picked up a big chopstick of vegetables and bacon, put it in the bowl, then scooped up the full rice and stuffed it into his mouth!

If everyone didn't know that he was the boss of urban construction, he would really look like a man who hadn't eaten for several days!

"Pay attention to your image!" Lu Yongliang reminded silently.

Shang Mingke didn't think so, and smacked his lips, "Uncle Nu (Lu), I think it will be easier to eat this (mouth) for a (long) time!"

Immediately came another large piece of chopsticks.

Unlike Lu Yongliang and Ling Shuyu who were speechless and shocked.

When Su Chen saw Shang Mingke's appearance, he had some different thoughts in his heart.

Who is Shang Mingke? Although Su Chen didn't know very well, he at least knew that this was definitely a person with a relatively high status.

What kind of person can't eat what he usually wants?

But there were so many dishes on the table that he didn't eat, but kept showing off with that A-grade vegetable moss rice. Why was that?

‘I still have to stick to my philosophy. ’

‘Although delicious food is good, people’s state of mind and hobbies are the most important. ’

‘The delicious food that Shang Mingke remembers is neither sea cucumber nor scallops, but this daily dish that is fried at home every spring. ’

‘Although other dishes are delicious, they cannot satisfy his emotional needs. Sometimes the satisfaction of emotional needs will make delicious food take the initiative to break through to a new level. ’

Shang Mingke's performance made Su Chen more convinced that the path he chose was the right one.

Although it goes against the traditional chef theory, Su Chen has no intention of letting himself become famous in the chef world. He runs this company that never dies, cooks delicious food, tries new things, and interacts with his charlatan every day. Isn’t it interesting for employees to compete with each other?

Soon, Shang Mingke ate a portion of stir-fried bacon with vegetables and vegetables almost by himself!

Lu Yongliang loves the slippery three-strand silk thread.

The old man has a pretty good mouth. The A-grade scallops and mushrooms didn’t attract him, but the S-grade slippery pork belly made his mouth full of oil!

As for Lingshu Island

The fried cake balls were in her hand and she ate them one after another.

It tastes like halva, sweet and moist, but refreshing and not greasy. It is full of dried fruits. After the meal, the dessert is regarded as a staple food by her.

Maybe this is a preference for delicious food!

Seeing that the delicious food he made was so loved by these tricky people, Su Chen felt huge satisfaction while his experience points increased crazily.

After a while.

Lu Yongliang also wiped his mouth with satisfaction, "Yes, I can eat such authentic Hubei cuisine in a foreign land. This trip to Jingzhou is not in vain!"

Shang Mingke stretched himself out and said, "Boss Su, I'm really sorry for bothering you, cooking so many dishes by yourself."

Ling Shuyu sat aside and didn't dare to speak, feeling confused and confused.

He obviously invited people here, but now he has become little Karami, and Boss Su has become the protagonist.

Moreover, Mr. Shang was obviously more interested in Boss Su's dishes than his own plan.

If I had known I would not be a designer, I would be a cook!

It seems it's not too late now

While everyone was feeling comfortable, Ling Shuyu plucked up the courage and said, "Mr. Shang, please take a look at our plan today."

Did you talk about work?

Lu Yongliang stood up, "These dishes are all good, I enjoyed them! There is only one last signature dish left, haha, while you two chat, I will make sign with Boss Su!"

Su Chen shook his head helplessly.

Lu Yongliang patted him on the shoulder, "Friendship comes first! Communication is the most important."

"Okay." Su Chen generously invited the old man back to the kitchen.

Outside, Shang Mingke tapped his fingers on the table a few times. After eating, he returned to his previous temperament, "Mr. Ling, for the sake of Boss Su, I will tell the truth."

Today's meal really touched Shang Mingke's heart. He also felt Ling Shuyu's sincerity, so it wouldn't hurt to say a few more words.

"In your job, I must admit that you are excellent. Whether it is the plan you made or your understanding of the contents of this tender, you are excellent."

Ling Shuyu raised her head slightly. Her excellence has been recognized since she was a child!

"But you can imagine me in this position."

Ling Shuyu cheered up. For a person of Mr. Shang's level to say something like this to him, it was definitely considered sincere!

And what follows must be a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity for her!

"The designs to be used in this tender will be used first in bus stations, road signs and other places in the capital, and then will be gradually promoted to the whole country."

"It's just an environmental protection logo. Will those who love littering stop throwing away rubbish because of this logo?"

These words hit Ling Shuyu's brain like thunder.

She never thought about it.

She thought about the beauty of the design, the concept conveyed, and many, many things, but she never thought about this.

Will those who don't pay attention to environmental protection become environmentally friendly just because of a small sign at the bus stop?

"So if you do well, you'll use yours. If he doesn't do well, you won't use his. Do you think that's the case?"

Ling Shuyu didn't know the answer to this question, but what Shang Mingke said really subverted her knowledge!

Growing up, the education she received told her that as long as you are good enough, you will be recognized.

As long as you write the test paper correctly, you will get full marks!

In the workplace, as long as you work hard enough, you can get a promotion and a salary increase!

But now Shang Mingke told her that if you do well, they may not use yours, and if others do not do well, they may use others!

"Okay, Mr. Ling, thank you very much for today's reception. I also noticed that you are not from this company, are you? Haha, I will let Xiao Zhang check out later. I hope we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future. "

After that, Shang Mingke got up and headed towards the kitchen.

Being able to see Uncle Lu making this Wuchang fish dish with his own eyes is a great enjoyment in itself, and he cannot miss this good thing.

Ling Shuyu was left sitting there alone, his head buzzing.

The collaboration failed.

The reason for failure is not because I didn’t do well enough

Ling Shuyu's world was completely turned upside down.

In the kitchen.

"No, when you make one fish, why do you use two fish?"

An old man and a young man have been in the kitchen for a long time, and the fish are still swimming in the tank.

"Who stipulated that you can't use two fish to make one fish!" Su Chen said unreasonably and was still angry.

I felt secretly guilty.

I am also forced to have no choice!

In order to keep the fish in a steaming state on the plate, Su Chen uses two pieces.

One is used to make soup and the other is used to eat.

It's a bit wasteful, but if you give the first one to the employees and charge dozens of dollars for it, it doesn't seem like a waste, right?

"Good guy! I really pulled my ass with a knife, it opened my eyes! Okay, there are four fish anyway. I use one, you use two." Lu Yongliang was really speechless.

I have been cooking fish all my life, and I have never seen it steamed, grilled or grilled, but I have never seen it eaten with two fish.

He wanted to see what kind of tricks Boss Su was up to!

"Okay!"

Bang bang!

The fish that were swimming freely in the tank just now were knocked unconscious by Su Chen with two fish.

With the bonus of the badge of "quick, ruthless and accurate", Su Chen used the knife in his hand to dig out the dirt in the gills of the fish twice, and scraped the two fish with the electric scale remover, and the two fish were clean!

The tip of the knife was aimed at the belly of the fish and it was lightly sliced ​​open, then the hand was stretched out and picked!

Swipe and pull~~

The two fish were washed in the faucet. Lu Yongliang was confused by the flowing movements!

"Boss Su, did you sell fish before?"

"No." Su Chen threw the cleaned fish on the chopping board, "I worked at RT-Mart for a few years."

Lu Yongliang:? ? ?

Shang Mingke at the door was very embarrassed, "Uncle Lu, Boss Su is joking with you."

"Oh." Lu Yongliang also knocked the fish unconscious and picked up the kitchen knife. He really didn't understand what the joke meant.

Another fish was killed, and Shang Mingke watched with pleasure.

Needless to say, Lu Yongliang's fish-killing movements were very skillful, but compared to Su Chen's movements just now, they were still a little less interesting.

Su Chen's approach gave people the feeling that "this fish should be killed like this".

‘Uncle Lu won’t fall in love with this dish, right? ’

When Shang Mingke realized this idea, he secretly pinched his palms.

What am I thinking!

Uncle Lu can be a master at the state banquet level!

The fish he cooked was included in the "Wuchang Fish Recipe" in "Catering Management" in 1996!

Impossible, absolutely impossible to overturn!

After cleaning, Su Chen placed a fish on a plate, sprinkled it with refined salt and green onion and ginger, and put it directly into the pot to start steaming.

"Boss Su, are you impatient?" Lu Yongliang laughed.

"Well, this fish has another use, old man, just watch it!" Su Chen turned to look at another fish, and began to change the knife according to the method he had practiced countless times before!

Lu Yongliang took a look and thought, this guy is playing with me with knife skills?

Originally, I planned to cut it diagonally with the knife, but this time the old man was also interested.

'Look, I'm going to play a trick on you! '

Lu Yongliang cut diagonally at the position of the fish head and cut off the fish head directly!

Then he started to cut at the back of the fish, with each cut about 1 cm apart, and the blade stopped at the belly of the fish.

After the whole fish was cut, the fish was bent inwards at an angle and placed on the plate. Because of the oblique cut, the fish head stood up in the center easily.

"Let me show you my old man's open-screen fish!"

Su Chen responded and looked at it. As expected, the fish was placed on the plate like a fish with its screen opened, which was particularly beautiful!

Since the other party did this.

Su Chen broke the fish back meat he cut open and stood it up on the plate. He was not very confident, "I call this a standing fish!"

Puff!

Lu Yongliang and Shang Mingke couldn't help laughing out loud.

Su Chen's fish looked strange. Two large pieces of fish meat were broken out from the middle, and then stood up on the plate. The knife flowers on it bloomed because of the bending of the fish body.

If you say it looks good, it has a little aesthetic feeling.

But if you look at it as a whole, it's just very strange!

Obviously, in terms of knife skills, the old man is better!

Su Chen didn't waste words. He would know whether it was a mule or a horse after tasting it later.

The next step of production began immediately.
