Anyway, it's still early now, and there's no fixed meal time in Delicious.

It's better to let a few employees try the dishes and solve their lunch at the same time.

Well, Su Chen likes to do one thing and solve several things at the same time.

"Ding ding ding!"

The thawed three-yellow chicken was thrown on the chopping board by Su Chen, and the machete chopped it a few times and cut it into three-centimeter square chicken pieces.

Ling Shuyu looked at Su Chen's actions and silently took a step back.

'Meat delicacies are not suitable for me to make'

'If you want to eat it, it's okay. '

Su Chen's movements were smooth and smooth. He put the cut chicken pieces directly into the pot and cooked them slowly over medium heat. At the same time, he also threw in scallion knots and ginger slices, and sprinkled some cooking wine.

"Chicken is tender. If the water boils too quickly, it will be easily cooked. If it's cooked, it can't be cooked. In this step, you have to take the chicken out quickly when the water is about to boil."

In order to get rid of the work at hand as soon as possible, Su Chen directly started the teaching mode in the kitchen.

He Shuting is still responsible for shooting videos!

The three-yellow chicken in the supermarket is different from the local chicken raised in the village, and it is easy to cook.

Like the fried chicken in Shandong Province, the methods are different in different regions, mainly because of the different ingredients used. Each region will give priority to local chickens, including the big plate chicken in Xinjiang Province.

Su Chen improved the method, which is also a very important reason.

You can't compare the three-yellow chicken with those chickens, they are not on the same level.

But as a gourmet, it's fun to make higher-level delicacies with lower-grade ingredients!

While simmering on low heat, Su Chen added a large amount of vegetable oil to another pot. When the oil temperature was 60% hot, turn off the medium heat and pour all the previously cut onions into it.

Continue to fry slowly on medium heat.

"Scallion oil. This oil is commonly used in southern Fujian cuisine, but ours is not as fragrant as others. Make some for use."

Su Chen said it simply, but others were confused. Now is not the time to figure out the specific principles. Several employees silently remembered what Su Chen said.

The chicken pieces that were just being cooked will soon boil. While the water is still not boiling, Su Chen skims off the foam on the surface, takes out all the chicken pieces and puts them in a basket to drain the water.

The onions that were slowly fried over medium heat soon turned brown. The onions were taken out with a strainer and thrown away. The oil in the pot was poured into an oil pan.

Finish the previous work.

Su Chen looked at the time and it was getting late.

"Don't stir-fry the chili sauce. We'll do it in the afternoon."

Without homemade chili sauce, we had to use chili peppers.

Next, the most critical step of Su Chen's homemade fried chicken!

Stir-fry!

The wok was heated until it began to smoke, and then more onion oil was added, and then a handful of ginger slices were put into the oil.

"This fried chicken doesn't have ginger"

"What will happen?" Ling Shuyu was very resistant to chopping chicken, but not to stir-frying chicken, and asked curiously.

"It's the same as not adding ginger."

Everyone savored this sentence carefully first, and gradually, everyone's expression began to change

Before everyone was about to start, Su Chen quickly began to add various seasonings to change the topic.

"Put in 50% of green pepper and red pepper, and add some dried chili pepper, star anise, bay leaf and angelica. Be sure to use a low heat."

When frying spices, if the heat is not controlled well, it is easy to burn, and then the taste will be bitter.

Spices are really a magical thing. After adding these things, accompanied by the iron shovel in hand, the kitchen is already filled with a strange fragrance.

All that Su Chen did looks very ordinary and ordinary, and even a casual food blogger is nothing more than a few tricks.

Heat oil in a pan and add spices.

When the fragrance is very strong, Su Chen pours all the chicken pieces that have just been drained into the pan.

Swish~~

Although the water has been controlled to be dry enough, the moment it touches the hot oil, a huge sound still bursts out of the pan, accompanied by small oil spots splashing everywhere.

He Shuting: I'm telling you to give up!

Because the chicken pieces have been blanched for a short time, they have been shaped. After a few gentle scrapes to make all the pieces of meat covered with onion oil, the skin has begun to show a shiny, burnt yellow color!

Su Chen didn't know how to explain this step

The amount of oil used is a big question.

The three-yellow chicken is different from domestic chicken. The meat is looser. If the amount of oil is insufficient, it will stick to the pan after being put into the pan. If the amount of oil is too much, it will become fried chicken.

In order to save trouble when making this dish, many restaurants will directly fry the chicken pieces in a wide amount of oil before frying. If this is done, it is not a real fried chicken.

The taste will be much worse.

As for how to control the amount of oil, it is only practice that makes the difference.

Su Chen started to season again.

This step is crucial!

Push the chicken pieces in the pot to the edge, leaving a circular space in the middle. You can see that after several times of stirring, the amount of oil at the bottom of the pot is not very large, and after frying for a long time, the bottom oil is not turbid, but becomes exceptionally clear.

"Then add Boss Su's secret recipe"

Feeling everyone's murderous gaze, Su Chen changed the subject, "Sweet noodle sauce, soybean sauce, oyster sauce, Huadiao wine, dark soy sauce and soy sauce, and finally sprinkle some Yipinxian and Thirteen Spices."

Continue to turn to low heat.

This dish is almost always cooked on low heat.

"Continue to stir-fry until"

Su Chen's current actions basically have no skills to speak of. He is simply stir-frying with a shovel, trying to make every chicken piece covered with rich sauce.

After about three or four minutes, the previous spice flavor gradually began to fade away, replaced by a unique 'meaty' flavor.

The aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of various seasonings made Ling Shuyu swallow his saliva unconsciously just by smelling it.

Who doesn’t like eating meat! ! !

"When the meat is fragrant, add hot water. Be sure to add hot water!"

At this time, the chicken pieces in the wok are absorbing the aroma of the seasoning like crazy. If cold water is added, the skin of the meat pieces will tighten and the aroma will not be able to penetrate!

The hot water quickly turned into a sauce color when it was put into the pot, almost the same as the chicken pieces. Su Chen covered the pot and then began to deal with other ingredients in a leisurely manner.

"Cut the potatoes into small pieces with a hob, then put them in."

There is a layer of small potato cubes spread in the pot.

"Clap the green and red peppers twice and cut them casually, save them for later."

After reaching this step, most of the steps of frying chicken have been almost completed. Of course, Su Chen will not forget the most important step.

"Someone can go get some hand-rolled noodles from the freezer."

Aunt Fang moved quickly, "I'll do it."

The best-selling delicacy nowadays is soy pot noodles, which are cheap, affordable, delicious and not expensive, and are in line with Jingzhou people’s love for noodles.

So there is almost always dough in the freezer.

Aunt Fang's crime fighting skills were actually pretty good, and Su Chen thought he was much better than himself.

After a few steps, the dough was rolled out into a thin sheet, sprinkled with a layer of dry flour, folded, and quickly cut into long noodles with a knife.

Another pot was put on the stove to boil water. Aunt Fang was about to cook the noodles when she was stopped by Su Chen.

"Don't panic, it's not the time to cook noodles yet."

The best time to eat cold water is when it has passed through the cold water for one minute after being cooked. It is cool on the outside and hot on the inside, and it tastes full of chewiness.

So just prepare the noodles.

The sound of boiling water coming from the chicken frying pan was accompanied by the increasingly rich aroma of meat.

Su Chen's preparation combines the cooking method of large plate chicken from Xinjiang Province, and also adopts the wet frying method of Linyi fried chicken.

As for the ingredients, the most common sauce flavor in Shandong Province is used.

Xinjiang Province's large-plate chicken tastes spicy and the seasoning is based on Sichuan cuisine, which is not in line with the taste of Jingzhou people.

The smell of soy-flavored chicken that filled the air at this moment made the eyes of everyone watching almost pop out, and several people kept swallowing their saliva.

"This dish is absolutely delicious! Just the smell of it makes me want to eat three bowls of rice!"

As expected of He Shuting, a girl who never gets fat no matter how much she eats.

Although Sister Shengnan is also eager to eat chicken, her mind is still on other things, "Boss, how are you going to sell this fried chicken?"

Regarding the price, Su Chen had already thought about it.

"It's 88 yuan per serving. The first portion of noodles is free. Additional portions are 5 yuan. Use the half-sized bowl. Oh, it's the same bowl that He Shuting uses every time she eats noodles."

"Boss!!!" He Shuting stamped her feet angrily, "I only eat two bowls each time, is that a lot?"

At this time, everyone's silence was deafening.

"88 a portion, the price is neither high nor low, I think it's okay." Ling Shuyu stood up and expressed his opinion, "One person will definitely not be able to finish such a big pot, so two people can add one portion The free noodles should be enough for you.”

"nonono~" Su Chen shook his finger, "That's why I cut a whole chicken for the staff meal today. I'm going to sell two portions of one chicken at 88 yuan each."

hiss!

Half a chicken costs 88 yuan?

Hearing this, Ling Shuyu frowned slightly.

If this price is placed in some mid-to-high-end hotels, it is not outrageous, it is just the right price.

After all, chicken, duck, and fish are all major dishes, so it’s understandable that they are a little more expensive.

However, with such delicious food in this location and environment, half a chicken is sold for 88 yuan. This price is a bit outrageous.

Not to mention others, Ling Shuyu, a little rich woman, thought that she would not eat it after learning the price.

"Don't discuss the pricing anymore, I know it well." After saying that, Su Chen opened the lid of the pot.

After a while, the soup in the pot became much less and slightly thicker.

"Okay, finally pour all the green and red peppers in. Then add some onion oil and a spoonful of chicken soup."

The function of chicken soup is to enhance the freshness, which is much easier to use than chicken essence.

Pour out half of the soup in the pot, then turn to high heat and start to reduce the juice. At the same time, use the last added onion oil to fry the green and red peppers until they are raw.

This was the second move Su Chen thought of.

If you want to eat noodles, you must have a soup base, but a good fried chicken cannot have too much soup. After thickening the remaining soup in the pot, sprinkle some fried white sesame seeds and stir well again.

While the fire is on, pour some vinegar on the side of the pot. The sour taste of the vinegar will disappear briefly, leaving only a richer meat aroma.

Pour the entire pot of chicken pieces and potato pieces into a large open basin, sprinkle with finely chopped coriander, and then pour the juice that was poured in advance into the pot along the edge of the basin.

"It's done!" Su Chen clapped his hands.

After sixteen hours of repeated attempts and preparation, this dish combines the preparation methods of the two provinces and is improved according to the taste of Jingzhou locals.

System rating: A grade.

"Boss, that noodle"

Su Chen shook his head, "No rush, let's eat the fried chicken first and cook the noodles last."

In Xinjiang, big plate chicken is made with trousers noodles as the base, and in some places in Shandong, fried chicken is also eaten with noodles. The ways of eating are different.

But as a real Jingzhou person, noodles must be eaten last to taste good.

"I'll serve the dishes!" He Shuting took the initiative to carry the big basin, and the others followed anxiously behind her. Everyone came to the big round table in the cafeteria and sat down.

The big round table that can seat ten people seemed a little empty with six people sitting on it. There was a pot of fried chicken in the middle of the big table, which looked a little shabby.

"I personally suggest that this dish should be served separately, and everyone should not mix it in one pot." Su Chen said.

Liu Shengnan also nodded, "I agree."

"That makes sense."

Everyone agreed, and Aunt Fang brought a stack of small bowls and big spoons, and filled everyone's bowl with a bowl of dishes.

As the boss, Su Chen was of course the first to get it.

After getting the chopsticks, Su Chen picked up a piece of potato and stuffed it into his mouth without any hesitation!

After nearly twenty minutes of boiling, the dense potatoes only need to be lightly sipped. Hiss!

They melted into potato sand immediately!

This dense taste is mixed with the aroma of chicken, accompanied by a faint fragrance of vegetables.

It's delicious!

I don't know if Aunt Fang did it on purpose, but after Su Chen finished eating a piece of potato, he found two chicken wings in his bowl.

A chicken has only two chicken wings!

While others were not paying attention, Su Chen quickly stuffed a chicken wing into his mouth.

After slow cooking in low-temperature water and stir-frying over low heat, the fat on the chicken skin was all stir-fried out, and it had a slightly tight texture, but it only took a light bite.

Tsk!

The meat inside sprayed out with a rich sauce and gravy, accompanied by the high temperature inside!

Su Chen took a deep breath, and everyone couldn't help laughing at this action.

Ten seconds later.

"Suck! Suck! Huh"

"It's so hot, so hot!"

"Oh my, it's delicious, it's hot!"

Wow!

When Ling Shuyu got his bowl, he first lowered his head to smell it.

It tasted good, just what he wanted!

After seeing other people's embarrassing mouth-burning, Ling Shuyu very elegantly bit off a small half of a piece of chicken, and then picked up half a potato.

Unconsciously, her eyes narrowed because of the fragrance.

88?

It's not expensive at all!

88 to eat such fried chicken, it's a great bargain!

Elegant, Ling Shuyu, you must stay elegant!

When Ling Shuyu picked up the second piece of chicken very elegantly.

Hmm?

Why did Boss Su stand up?

Oh my! Boss Su eats so fast?

Ling Shuyu only ate the second piece of chicken, Su Chen had already finished a bowl, stood up with a spoon and got himself another bowl.

Hot mouth?

Haha, if you can't eat the second bowl, it's really hot. What do mortals know?

After Su Chen served the second bowl, everyone else realized it.

This is not a simple meal, it's a war, a war where either you eat or I eat!

Although He Shuting is good-looking, she doesn't care about her image when eating. From time to time, she raises her head and opens her mouth to breathe out hot air, but it still can't stop her from stuffing chicken into her mouth.

Liu Shengnan was lucky. She took the method of surrounding Wei to save Zhao. She first ate all the potatoes in the bowl, and then said very calmly: "The potatoes are quite delicious, I'll have some more."

She laughed secretly in her heart.

You have to spit out the bones when eating chicken. Eat more potatoes first, so that you won't have anything to eat later.

Well, a finance who knows how to stop losses is very qualified.

As a high school student, Xiaobin seems to be not afraid of the heat, and served the third bowl.

Next is Aunt Fang.

After Ling Shuyu tried hard to finish the food in his bowl, he wanted to stand up, and was stunned when he saw the empty bowl with only the soup left.

"Boss, can our employees also place orders?"

This was the only way she could think of.

Su Chen nodded, "Not only can we, but there are also discounts."

Ling Shuyu sat down unwillingly, and dipped his chopsticks in the remaining mashed potatoes in the bowl and slurped them several times.

"Ah, comfortable." Su Chen swallowed two bowls, "Auntie Fang, you can cook the noodles. Cook for 4 minutes, rinse with cold water for 20 seconds. Cook three servings directly!"

"Okay!"

Hearing about cooking noodles, everyone's unsatisfied expressions disappeared and returned to expectation.

Noodles, that's it!

While all the employees of Delicious Lai were waiting for noodles, the second employee who resigned from Xinghui Company appeared.

"Assistant Zhang, let's have lunch together before leaving at noon." Wang Rui said regretfully.

No one would have thought that two people would resign in one day!

The boss of the design department and the assistant of the boss of the design department, it's really heartbreaking!

Zhang Li handed her work badge to Wang Rui with a smile, "Who wants to eat with you? I'm going to join Delicious this afternoon. Mr. Ling said that I can get a free lunch if I go there now. They're having fried chicken for lunch today. I'll show you a video!"

In the chat box between Zhang Li and Ling Shuyu, there was a short video.

It was taken when Su Chen was frying chicken. The shiny and steaming fried chicken made Wang Rui's throat move, "Is this fried chicken for sale? It looks so good!"

Zhang Li was even more proud, "This is a food tasting for internal employees. How can you eat it whenever you want? Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to leave quickly. Don't let people wait for me until the meal is ready."

Wang Rui looked at Zhang Li's back with envy as she left.

If only I were as free and easy as her!

Zhang Li hummed a little tune and walked briskly towards the 19th floor opposite, and did not forget to reply to dear President Ling on WeChat.

【Zhang Li: I'm coming~ It's ready, you can eat first, no need to wait for me. I'm not hungry, just a few bites will do. 】

Well, after all, I just joined the company, and I still need to be polite to my new colleagues.

Ding Dong~

Ling Shuyu's phone rang, but she didn't have time to read the message now.

Three large portions of noodles were poured into the basin, almost filling up the basin!

Auntie Fang used a pair of long serving chopsticks to stir the noodles hard. Every time she stirred, a lot of noodles would be dipped into the sauce at the bottom.

Su Chen looked at this scene.

The choice of pouring out the sauce in advance was indeed correct. For Jingzhou people, the soul of this fried chicken is not the potatoes and chicken, but this noodle!

So it doesn’t matter whether it’s one portion or half a portion. The key is to enjoy the noodles!

“Okay, the noodles are ready to eat.” Aunt Fang still took on the important task of serving noodles.

As expected, Su Chen was the first one.

Well, as a boss, he still has this priority.

The noodles picked up by chopsticks were wrapped in rich and thick fried chicken soup, and the fragrance came to his face.

Su Chen stuffed a big mouthful into his mouth.

Then he bit a clove of raw garlic.

Damn, this feeling, I’m going to become a fairy! ! !
