Food Customizer

Half an hour ago, Su Chen had been trying to synthesize in his office, but no matter what he added, he could not break through the level of ‘green’.

Until

Su Chen was bored and started to add some weird things.

For example, when Su Chen added the term [Jasmine Tea], the color of the synthesis frame suddenly turned purple!

It was purple! ! !

At that time, Su Chen was a little stunned.

Jasmine tea eggs?

Why does it sound a little weird?

With this unexpected gain, Su Chen tried to make the term [Black Tea] more concrete, such as changing it to the name of a specific tea.

But each change would downgrade the color, and only the term [Pu'er Tea] could continue to remain purple.

So, Su Chen continued to add some strange terms.

[Blueberry] → White.

[Plum] → White.

When Su Chen was ready to enter the practice room to make it, the last entry he added out of boredom directly turned the synthesis frame orange!

[Coke! ]

The last orange recipe was the Eight Treasure Pumpkin Cake, a pumpkin cake that completely conquered the state banquet master!

And orange means a very high upper limit, that is, as long as there is no problem with your own technique, you can get A-level by following the recipe step by step.

As long as you are more skilled in the technique and can understand the essence of the recipe, you are basically a stable S-level.

So, under the temptation of the orange recipe, Su Chen forgot about his intermittent rest.

After fighting in the food practice room for 18 hours, he immediately rushed to the kitchen.

If it weren't for Liu Abao's help in making this fried chicken, Su Chen himself really couldn't stand it.

After Su Chen laid all 20 washed eggs flat on the chopping board, Liu Abao put one hand on his chest and the other on his chin, "Hiss, how are you going to make these tea eggs?"

Su Chen took a deep breath and tried to relax his tired brain, "By the way, how do you make these tea eggs in the largest restaurant you have worked in?"

Liu Abao frowned and thought for a while, "When I worked in Yingfenglou before, there was really a tea egg dish. 3 eggs sold for 28 yuan."

"Their eggs are made in the usual way. Boil the eggs until 40% done, crack them, add spices and tea, simmer over low heat, leave a runny core, and soak in warm water overnight."

Indeed, this method is quite authentic.

After all, tea eggs are all over the country, and the methods of making them in different provinces and cities are different. There is no specific distinction between which one is delicious and which one is not. They are almost the same.

"How dare you sell this kind of egg for more than 9 yuan a piece?" Zhang Li said in a hoarse voice, feeling incredible.

Liu Abao chuckled, "It's a big hotel, so it won't work if it's sold at a low price."

"Okay, try it later and see how much my tea egg costs."

Su Chen looked at the time. If it was about right, Bai Xiaobo should be on his way back.

It's time!

He found two chopsticks, held them in each hand, pinched the thin end of the chopsticks with his fingers, and took another deep breath while standing in front of the chopping board.

Looked at the eggs on the chopping board.

Bang~bang~bang~

He started to hit them continuously. His strength didn't seem to be very strong, and the eggs on the chopping board didn't seem to change much.

This action made Zhang Li laugh out loud, "The boss is just like hitting a drum."

Su Chen didn't want to pay attention to her, but automatically classified Zhang Li and Bai Xiaobo as the same type of people: stupid!

He not only hit the top of each egg, but also the side a few times.

With the blessing of the [Precision Strike] badge, he controlled the strength very well every time, and only Su Chen himself knew what that chopstick hit meant!

While knocking, Su Chen silently mourned for the thousands of eggs in the practice room!

The speed was still very fast. After knocking for about 30 seconds, Su Chen stopped.

"Alright."

"What are you doing? Saying goodbye to the eggs?" Liu Abao asked curiously.

Even with that strength, the eggshells can't be broken. Besides, if the eggshells are broken, how can you boil the eggs?

Won't they burst when you boil them?

This principle should be understood by elementary school students, right?

"No." Su Chen was a little tired, so tired that he didn't notice that Liu Abao was joking, "Zhang Li, bring me that small pot."

20 eggs don't need a big pot for the time being.

"Ling Shuyu, help me get Pu'er and jasmine tea from the lounge."

"Do you have any?"

"Yes. I bought them from Xinghui when I received Shang Mingke last time."

Zhang Li came over with a pot, "Boss, that Pu'er is very expensive!"

Su Chen didn't care, "Buy the cheap one tomorrow, and use the expensive one for yourself today."

Anyway, the company is full of young people, and no one likes to drink tea, so what if it's expensive

It's valuable if it's made into tea eggs. If it's not made into tea eggs, what's the value of it in the cabinet?

Ling Shuyu took the tea back and noticed that Su Chen had already prepared some spices in the bowl.

"Five-spice seasoning is star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, pepper and cloves." Su Chen said this to Ling Shuyu, although he thought Ling Shuyu was no longer suitable to appear in the kitchen.

But some simple knowledge is still necessary to understand.

"What about the thirteen spices?" Zhang Li blinked and asked curiously.

Su Chen: Go away!!!

"You can find out by looking at the ingredient list yourself?"

Because they had to wait for Bai Xiaobo to come back, several people were idle in the kitchen. Su Chen asked with interest, "Liu Abao, do you know why the five spices are these five?"

"Yes. Because these five spices are different, if used alone, they must be supplemented with different ingredients. If mixed, they are mostly used to cook meat and grilled food."

Su Chen shook his head, "Although what you said is right, it's not right."

Liu Abao: (O_o)??

Fortunately, Ling Shuyu and Zhang Li are also used to Su Chen's nonsense literature, and the two did not say anything.

Su Chen picked up a piece of what looked like tree bark, put it to his nose and sniffed it gently, "Cinnamon is slightly sweet and has a strong aroma. Using it when cooking can make the aroma of the dish deeper."

"Star anise is aromatic and is used to increase the aroma. The scent of bay leaves is relatively fresh, which will make the taste of the dish lighter. The peppercorns are used to add more stimulation to the taste. The scent of cloves is strong and slightly bitter, which will bring a rich aftertaste to the dish."

His actions are supplemented by his expression, coupled with this convincing look.

Ling Shuyu: Damn! He's pretending again! I want to pretend too

Zhang Li: Wow~ Boss Su knows a lot. Her eyes gradually began to show little stars.

As for Liu Abao, he looked at Su Chen with great admiration, "I only know how to use these spices, but I don't know why. Boss Su, you are really awesome!"

Su Chen put down the cinnamon in his hand, his face full of indifference, "Only by knowing the facts can you know the reasons. I am just a glimpse of the way, not worth mentioning!"

In fact, these are the words I memorized when I was a host before.

Otherwise, when you go to a restaurant to taste the dishes, you can't always say: salty and fresh, fragrant, really good, delicious, recommend you to come!

Or: That's so authentic!

This will be laughed at by fans.

Therefore, a professional food host, in addition to truly loving food, must also have a lot of theoretical knowledge.

With that knowledge, plus the current system, Su Chen seems to have two helpers, one literary and one martial!

It's very comfortable to pretend to be handy in front of people!

This appearance also made Liu Abao more convinced that he must learn from Boss Su for a while!

For someone like Boss Su who not only has top-notch skills but also has extremely rich theoretical knowledge, even if you pay him, he may not take you to learn, right?

‘I have to perform well! ’

After mixing the five spices in the right proportions and pouring soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and a little salt into the bowl, Su Chen had a good grasp of time. After doing all this, Bai Xiaobo came back with a large bottle of Coke.

“The rest are all in the warehouse outside.”

Su Chen saw that Xiaobai was a little absent-minded, “You go and rest for a while.”

Su Chen carefully put the eggs on the chopping board into the small pot one by one, went to the door to get two large buckets of Coke, unscrewed the lid and slowly poured the Coke along the edge of the pot, and at the same time poured the five-spice bag and the prepared sauce into it.

Liu Abao: “Are you going to boil eggs with Coke?”

Zhang Li: “I like hot Coke the most, and it’s even better with some ginger slices!”

Different people really think differently about what they see.

Then, Su Chen poured the sauce from the bowl into the pot, and tied the five spices with a piece of cloth before putting them into the pot.

Start a fire!

Ling Shuyu asked with tea leaves in his hand, "What should I do with this?"

Su Chen did not speak, but started another small pot, squeezed some jasmine tea and Pu'er tea, added water and boiled it directly.

"This is the first time I've seen the method of making tea eggs. Can jasmine tea and eggs go together? What the hell is cola?" Liu Abao had his own thoughts.

Su Chen still did not speak, he really felt a little tired in his brain, and he could not be distracted at this time.

Boiling tea was okay, just boil the water and slowly boil out the tea flavor.

Boiling cola was a bit brain-consuming, he had to keep an eye on the heat to ensure that the cola in the pot was slowly heating up.

Su Chen immediately turned off the fire when he saw small and dense bubbles starting to emerge from the bottom of the cola.

After waiting for ten minutes, he turned on the fire again. This time, it was much easier. After boiling the cola on low heat, he poured the previously boiled tea into the cola.

"Okay, keep this heat and turn off the heat after boiling for 3 minutes."

"This" Liu Abao pointed at the pot of black stuff, "Boss Su, I believe in your craftsmanship, but can this thing really taste good?"

Coke is a very magical thing, and it tastes really good.

But if you use cola with other things, it is simply a dark-level dish!

For example: cherry-flavored cola.

So even such a big company dare not easily change the taste of cola.

Su Chen smiled, "You'll know when you wait."

The boiling of the cola in the small pot was not obvious under low heat, and three minutes passed in a flash.

After Su Chen turned off the fire, he used a colander to directly scoop out all 20 eggs.

"You won't soak it anymore?" Liu Abao had too many questions, mainly because Su Chen's method really overturned his understanding of tea eggs!

The best tea eggs, no matter how good the chef is, need to be soaked for an hour to absorb the flavor.

What's more, Su Chen didn't even have the step of breaking the egg skin. What tricks can he do with a layer of egg skin?

"Don't think about it, your fried chicken should be cooked." Su Chen reminded him.

Liu Abao then hurried to another stove, "You mean to pour out half of the soup, cook the rest on high heat and serve on a plate, and then return half of the soup to the pot?"

Su Chen: "That's right."

Liu Abao completed the process of cooking on high heat very skillfully, even the steps of adding chicken soup and pouring cooked oil were exactly the same.

Ling Shuyu's eyes were full of envy.

"Have the guests arrived?" Su Chen asked.

Zhang Li glanced outside, "It seems that they haven't come yet, but they should be here soon, as agreed at seven o'clock."

"Okay, let them come in and try the dishes. Cherish the opportunity, only when you try the dishes can you taste them for free."

Liu Shengnan kept a record of the meals these employees ate on weekdays, and would settle the accounts at the end of the month.

Zhang Li notified everyone, and the old employees of Delicious Lai rushed into the kitchen.

"Food tasting? A new dish is coming out so soon?"

"Oh my, it's really tea eggs. I've loved this since I was a kid. I can eat three in one meal!"

"A tea egg also needs ingredients? Boss, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Faced with everyone's questions.

Su Chen smiled but said nothing, and just asked Zhang Li to separate the 20 tea eggs into small bowls.

Now, there are 8 people in Delicious, including Liu Abao, the 'guest'. Each of them has two eggs in their bowls, and there are 4 left in the pot.

"What's so special about this tea egg!" He Shuting exclaimed as she looked at the egg flattened by her palm, "This egg doesn't look broken?"

Liu Abao hurriedly took out an egg and looked at it carefully under the light. Even so, he still felt uncomfortable, so he took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to look hard.

"Amazing, amazing!"

Others were a little puzzled. How could this egg be amazing?

"Boss Su, what a masterpiece! I thought you were just joking when you used chopsticks to knock the egg, but I didn't expect you to really crack the egg shell? How did you crack the raw egg without breaking the egg shell?"

Su Chen was about to speak, but Ling Shuyu answered, "It's just practice!"

Seeing Su Chen's frustrated look, he felt happy in his heart, let you pretend again!

The old employees were also frightened when Liu Abao said this, cracking a raw egg?

Liu Abao gently rolled the egg on the table with his palm, and then his hand was just a little bit, and the broken shell with a layer of membrane went around twice and fell off easily.

One

"Boss Su, this color is not very good."

The color of this tea egg changed the rigid impression in people's minds. It was pure white, with only a few very fine irregular lines in some places where the eggshell was broken.

At first glance, these lines are not very conspicuous.

"Try it." Su Chen is very confident in his tea eggs.

Anyway, this is also an S-grade tea egg!

In order to make this tea egg, he threw away thousands of eggs in the practice room!

Liu Abao pinched the lower end of the egg and took a bite from the upper end. It was not too big or too small, and he just bit half of the egg yolk.

With half an egg in his mouth, Liu Abao first looked at the other half.

The white egg white wrapped around the egg yolk, which was cooked but not completely cooked. It was a very classic soft-boiled egg! But it was a few points more mature than a soft-boiled egg.

At this time, Liu Abao slowly chewed the half egg in his mouth.

Every time he bit it, Liu Abao's expression would change a little, until half of the egg was swallowed into his stomach, and he couldn't wait to put the other half into his mouth.

Immediately, he took a kitchen knife from the chopping board, peeled another egg, and cut the blade vertically in the middle of the egg.

"Amazing skill, amazing skill!"

Looking at the side section of the egg, Liu Abao exclaimed again!

Zhang Li: Why does this scene feel like it has happened before?

"Boss Su, how did you do this?"

Only if you look closely at the skin of the flawless white egg can you see some fine lines, but when you cut it open!

Following the lines, the sauce color actually seeps directly into the egg, forming a very beautiful pattern on the cut surface, extending all the way to the position of the yolk before stopping.

It looks like this is not a tea egg at all, but a work of art!

"Break the egg skin, but not completely." Su Chen shrugged, "To be honest, I don't know how to explain it, so that the soup will seep in through the gap."

"Use a small fire, the temperature of the cola must not rise too quickly at the beginning, and it must be left with enough time to seep in while the egg is still liquid."

"As the temperature rises slowly, the egg liquid begins to solidify, and it will become like this. Some people will crack the raw eggs directly, but if the egg skin is cracked too much, the inside will become like a braised egg."

After Su Chen finished speaking, Liu Abao took a deep breath.

Just cracking the egg and cracking it without breaking it is already difficult!

And the temperature of the cola and the water after adding the tea juice must be strictly controlled. To what extent does it take to master the heat to make it look like this?

What makes people feel even more trembling is.

This tea egg is too delicious, right?

Liu Abao is so picky. Even such a person, after listening to Su Chen's explanation, he immediately stuffed half of the egg in his hand into his mouth.

"The taste of cola is very light, with a hint of sweetness. The taste of five-spice is behind, slurp~" Liu Abao tasted the tea egg, swallowed it and took a deep breath, "The tea fragrance is here! A little bit of Pu'er fragrance, the fragrance of jasmine stands out among all kinds of fragrances, and it feels like being untainted by mud!"

"And because the soup has been soaked in in advance, the egg becomes very tender and refreshing, and there is no worry about choking!"

"Boss Su, your tea eggs make me feel refreshed!"

Two tea eggs were eaten up by Liu Abao in a blink of an eye. Seeing that he had such a high evaluation, Su Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

S-level delicacy, as expected, one eats it without making a sound!

Senior technicians were conquered so thoroughly, not to mention

He Shuting: "Baji Baji! Delicious, delicious, so fragrant! There is still a refreshing taste in my mouth after eating~"

Liu Shengnan: "Is this really an egg? I can't believe I ate an egg even if I close my eyes!"

Bai Xiaobo: "Fuck, delicious!"

Ling Shuyu didn't say anything, but judging from her smiling expression, she must have been very satisfied.

After all

[Deliciousness value from Ling Shuyu +999]

Auntie Fang finished eating two eggs and said with a smile, "This tea egg is sold for two yuan, which is really not expensive."

In public, Zhang Li finally ate her eggs herself, her cheeks were bulging, "Great! I can eat ten for two yuan!"

Su Chen shook his head.

Two yuan?

There is a novel in which a tea egg is sold for 888 yuan and still in short supply. My S-grade tea egg, haha, must be sold at least.

"This tea egg is sold for 5 yuan each."

When this was said, everyone stopped chewing.

Su Chen asked with a smile, "5 yuan, is it expensive?"

Liu Abao smacked his lips, "To be honest, with this appearance and taste, 5 yuan is considered cheap."

He works in a big hotel and is quite sensitive to prices. "It's not too much to put this in our restaurant as a signature dish. 38 yuan each is the kind that people have to queue up to eat."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Su Chen said, "Okay, the price is set. Tomorrow is the new season!"

The boss has made the decision, and the workers certainly have nothing to say.

But at this moment, everyone's eyes are peeking into the small pot from time to time.

There are still 4 eggs in it!
