Chapter 80 A-grade Huaiyang cuisine, 500 yuan order!
After Zhang Yi and Zhan Yang had fried chicken at Delicious the night before, he didn’t know what was going on.
He was absent-minded at work all day.
He always felt a faint smell of chicken in his mouth, and when he thought about the physical and mental pleasure brought by the three bowls of noodles, Zhang Yi was so absent-minded today.
In the afternoon, he specifically asked Zhan Yang for Delicious’s contact information, and then ordered a fried chicken for himself.
It was still an hour before the end of get off work, and Zhang Yi was in a mess.

He rummaged around in his desk and found 50 yuan from a book.
Then he found another 50 yuan from a tea box, exchanged it with a colleague for WeChat change, and cashed out the red envelope that Zhifubao had scanned out for an event a few days ago.
Immediately, Zhang Yi scanned the code to pay [Delicious Product Manager Bai Xiaobo] 108 yuan.
This is the price of a fried chicken and two servings of noodles, plus two tea eggs.
‘I swear, this is the last time I’ll go to Delicious today! ’
After making this decision, Zhang Yi continued to watch Delicious’s Douyin account on his mobile phone.
“This boss is really good at cooking”
‘When my pocket money is gone, I’ll buy a chicken myself’
“Go back and follow the boss’s method!”
In fact, Zhang Yi is not without money.
As one of the few high-paying jobs in Jingzhou City, Zhang Yi can get a salary of more than 10,000 yuan a month in the technical department of the steel plant, which is definitely a high salary in Jingzhou.
It’s just that he gave all the money to his wife.
After two years of marriage, in order to take care of the children, Zhang Yi’s wife simply resigned and stayed at home to take care of the children.
Handing over all the monthly salary is also Zhang Yi’s attitude. In the words he often brags to Zhan Yang: Although I have no money, I am happy!
But now, Zhang Yi feels that he is not happy at all. Even a fried chicken worth 100 yuan has to be scraped for half a day’s private money.
Time passed very slowly, and in the unbearable torment, it was finally time to get off work!
Zhang Yi had packed up his things long ago, picked up his schoolbag and clocked in without saying a word.
After getting on the bus to the development zone, he was relieved. The next step was to wait, but the waiting process was also very uncomfortable!
In order to eat this meal, he didn't eat a bite at noon!
Similarly, in Delicious, there was another person who was also suffering.
"Although this action is very useful, is it too exaggerated?"
Su Chen sat on the floor of the practice room in frustration. Isn't this too ridiculous?
Real time, two hours ago.
Su Chen came out of the office with a dull look and told Aunt Fang, who came back from buying vegetables, to make a pot of chicken soup first, and then chop half a chicken.
Moreover, this was the first time Su Chen asked Liu Abao to help make a fried chicken.
Liu Abao agreed to this request without hesitation.
Anyway, under Su Chen's guidance, Liu Abao made almost the same A-level fried chicken as Su Chen, so there was no impact.
After saying this, Su Chen returned to the office, set an alarm for two hours, and fell asleep.
At this moment, Su Chen appeared in the food practice room again.
"I think there should be no chef in the world who cuts vegetables like me, right?"
Su Chen was a little speechless.
After practicing thousands of times, he couldn't do it with just that one cut. The more careful he was, the easier it was for his hands to shake.
Until Su Chen, who was angry, raised the kitchen knife and swung it vigorously, the tofu he cut was as smooth as the surface of the water!
No matter from which angle you look at it, the tofu is a square rectangular block.
Su Chen, who didn't believe in evil, immediately summoned another piece of tofu.
Then
"Huh!"
He swung the kitchen knife vigorously, relying entirely on his own feelings to chop the tofu horizontally.
Yes, the same result was obtained.
"So, the so-called fast, fierce and accurate must be fast? Only when the speed is fast enough can it be both fierce and accurate?"
"Although there is nothing wrong with it, this posture and action are indeed a bit exaggerated."
Considering that his time is limited and he can't continue to waste it, Su Chen's kitchen knife is facing the tender tofu on the chopping board, and he stopped when he was about to cut it.
According to Su Chen's normal understanding, when cutting tofu blocks, one hand should hold the knife vertically, and the other hand should be in the air against the blade, and then cut down at a constant speed, so that the hand can be kept as stable as possible.
'But if it is fast, fierce and accurate'
Su Chen poured cold water on the kitchen knife, returned to the chopping board and tried to bend his knees, put his left hand behind his back, took a deep breath, and then used the kitchen knife in his right hand to cut half a piece of tender tofu by feeling!
Fierce, not fierce in force, but fierce in speed!
Bang bang bang bang bang~~
A piece of tender tofu about ten centimeters long, after countless cuts, the original square shape collapsed, and at first glance it looked like a pile of tofu dregs!
It was not until Su Chen poured clean water over it that he could see that it was actually layers of thin tofu stacked together!
He took another breath and swung the kitchen knife in his hand.
Bang bang bang bang~
After pouring a spoonful of clean water over it, half a piece of tender tofu had turned into a pile of shapeless dregs!
He carefully lifted the pile of tofu dregs into the basin of clean water with a knife.
‘Good guy, it worked! ’
The moment it entered the water, the tofu dregs magically began to float away. Looking carefully, it turned out to be strands of tofu as thin as hair!
The reason why Su Chen dared to waste so much time practicing on knife skills is because Huaiyang cuisine itself is very simple in seasoning.
For a dish like Wensi Tofu, as long as the knife skills are good, the rest will be fine.
With experience in cutting tofu, Su Chen removed the stems of the summoned green vegetables, leaving only the leaves, removed the black fungus in the middle and left the edges, and also removed the core of the carrots, cutting them all into thin strips like tofu shreds.
What follows is easy.
About fifteen minutes later, there were countless thin threads floating in a pot of slightly viscous chicken soup, including white tofu shreds, green vegetable shreds, black fungus shreds, and orange carrot shreds. Colorful and beautiful!
[Wensi Tofu, rating: A grade]
There is no surprise about this rating. The green recipe can reach A level for the first time, which is no problem.
Moreover, Su Chen still failed to do a very crucial step, just to reserve more energy to deal with the next dish, so he had to wait until reality to try that step!
The second dish, braised crab meat and lion head!
This famous Huaiyang dish can be said to be the standard that tests whether a chef knows how to cook Huaiyang cuisine, and it is also the standard that measures whether a Huaiyang restaurant is authentic!
Su Chen first read the recipe several times and slightly modified the parts that he felt were inappropriate before starting to make the lion head.
When people are focused, time always passes extremely fast. Su Chen doesn't know how much time has passed, but he just feels a little dizzy.
This situation has generally lasted for at least 16 hours.
"It seems that A-level dishes are the norm, and S-level dishes are unexpected. But for five hundred yuan for two A-level dishes, my price is considered worthy of the customers."
After coming out of the practice room, Su Chen closed his eyes and rested for ten minutes.
It’s already half past six, and it’ll be too late if you don’t do it!
When passing by the office area, I noticed that the man who wore big pants and a gray vest the day before yesterday and tricked his wife into working overtime was eating fried chicken again.
‘It turns out the order is his’
Su Chen didn't think much and hurried back to the kitchen.
Currently, Ling Shuyu and Zhang Li are busy designing and preparing for the arrival of delicious food on the small dining table.
Bai Xiaobo didn't come to work for some unknown reason, which made Su Chen want to deduct part of the bonus he wanted to give him.
The real Schrödinger bonus.
Liu Shengnan and Aunt Fang were both busy in the kitchen. Liu Abao had just helped fry a dish and was idle now.
"Thank you." Su Chen said sincerely, "I was originally a guest, but I didn't expect to ask a guest to help me today."
Liu Abao smiled innocently with his chubby face, "That's what you said. Master told me that when I come to your place, I have to learn. If I can learn one and a half moves from you, I'll be fine. How about Boss Su? There's a big party tonight. Work?"
Su Chen nodded first, then shook his head, "It's not a big job, just make two Huaiyang dishes."
"Hey! What kind of food is it?" Liu Abao suddenly became interested.
When he was studying, there was nothing wrong with his first choice of E cuisine. After all, he was studying under Lu Yongliang.
When choosing between Shandong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, one is to learn seasonings and the other is to learn techniques. The reason for not choosing Huaiyang cuisine is very simple.
trouble!
So when Su Chen said he was going to cook Huaiyang cuisine, Liu Abao was a little surprised.
Boss Su is so young, and his first-hand Hubei cuisine can even shock Master Lu. Why is he cooking Huaiyang cuisine again?
“Two classic dishes, Wensi Tofu and Lion Head.”
Liu Abao asked with incredible eyes, "Are you serious? It will be difficult to explain this to picky guests!"
"Haha, it's nothing." While Su Chen was talking, he went to see how the chicken soup was doing.
With her previous experience of cooking Hubei cuisine, Aunt Fang is still good at making chicken soup.
"Okay, I'll help you cook." Liu Abao still took off his clothes, "I'll follow your instructions on what to do!"
Su Chen paused, then turned to look at Abao, "Tell the truth. What is Mr. Lu's purpose in asking you to come?"
In fact, Su Chen also noticed it in the past two days. Liu Abao came to the company on time every morning and wouldn't leave after dinner.
Either watch short videos, or play games leisurely, and continue eating when it’s time to eat.
It is not an option to continue like this.
"Hehe!" Liu Abao said with his trademark silly smile, "I'll tell you the truth. Master asked me to learn from you, and also asked me to go back after I've learned it. I wonder if you want a helper here?"
Tsk!
Su Chen smiled. This might not be true for anyone else, but this is a senior technician!
And he is Lu Yongliang’s personal disciple!
But there's a problem!
"Then let me be honest, I can't afford to hire someone of your rank." Su Chen spread his hands.
Liu Abao has to be a chef in the hotel, and he will definitely not be able to do it if his monthly salary is less than 20,000 yuan.
"It's vulgar to talk about money!" Liu Abao put away his smile and said seriously, "I don't want money, as long as you tell me about all the dishes you cook, let me learn from them, and agree to let me make a short video or something , I’m so thankful!”
Seeing that what Liu Abao said didn't sound like a joke, Su Chen asked seriously again, "Seriously?"
“It’s more real than real money and silver!”
"Okay, deal! But whenever you want to leave, you still have to say hello to me in advance."
"no problem!"
The two hit it off immediately.
Liu Abao is in the mood to learn and make short videos, while Su Chen really needs a good helper in the kitchen, the kind of helper who can make A-level dishes with just a little guidance!
I thought I could barely handle it with Ling Shuyu's stubborn personality, but it turned out that guy can only eat but not cook!
It's good to assign her to a more suitable position. With Liu Abao's joining, Su Chen can study dishes with peace of mind.
This wave, this wave is a win-win!
After a simple exchange, Su Chen was not polite.
"Choose only the middle part of the pork belly and cut it into pomegranate-sized pieces. Dissolve Shaoxing wine in a bowl of starch sauce, cut the cabbage into crosses, and soak it in a bowl of scallion and ginger water."
These are all preparations, and Liu Abao has no pressure to do them, but he has a doubt, "Boss Su, don't you need to chop the pork belly after dicing it?"
Although Liu Abao has not systematically studied Huaiyang cuisine, he also knows a thing or two. It is difficult to form the meat of the lion head into a ball without chopping it. In the jargon, it is called "fine chopping and rough chopping". After this process, the meat is more likely to stick together when it is beaten.
"No need." Su Chen answered briefly, and seeing that Abao was a little dissatisfied, he said, "You will know later. By the way, process the freshly steamed river crabs, crab meat and yellow"
Since that's the case, Abao didn't waste any words and quickly started to work according to Su Chen's instructions.
And Su Chen himself took out all the three yellow chickens and scallions and ginger for stewing chicken soup, leaving only the soup in the pot.
Looking a little whitish and turbid.
Then he took two chicken breasts and chopped them into minced meat. Liu Abao looked at this scene and asked in surprise, "What do you want? Boiled cabbage?"
That's not right!
That thing is Sichuan cuisine after all, and it doesn't meet the needs of customers tonight.
"No." Su Chen said, "Make Wensi tofu."
Good guy!
"No wonder you dare to make two dishes with only 500 yuan. You want to use this chicken soup to make tofu, which is really amazing!"
Liu Shengnan and Aunt Fang were a little confused by the conversation between the two, but they continued to watch with great curiosity.
Chop the chicken into minced meat, boil the chicken soup in the pot without any debris, and put all the chicken minced meat into the pot and start cooking.
At the same time, separate the lean meat from the pork belly that Liu Abao had just cut and discarded and chop it into minced meat.
Take out the chicken minced meat and put it into the pork minced meat. After this, the chicken soup in the pot, which originally looked a little white and turbid, magically turned into a slightly yellow and extremely clear soup!
This confused Liu Shengnan, who didn't know how to cook, "What's going on?"
"The minced meat will absorb the impurities in the soup. This soup is the soup for making boiled cabbage, but ours is not as complicated as others, and it's missing a lot of things."
The boiled cabbage soup needs to be boiled with several ingredients. If it's just chicken, it's not fresh enough.
However, the two dishes are different and can't be compared. Although Wensi tofu is also eaten in its original flavor, it still needs to be seasoned.
The broth in the pot was filtered through the cage cloth. This time there was really no impurities at all. It was clear and slightly yellow. Just looking at it made me want to have a bite!
Su Chen put the broth aside for use, and Liu Abao's ingredients were all ready on the other side.
It's really nice to have such a senior technician as a kitchen assistant. Just say a little bit, and the things you want will be ready immediately.
Of course, Aunt Fang and the others can do it, but they still need a little practice.
Next, it's time to really start making it!
Liu Abao watched Su Chen's every move very attentively, fearing that he would miss any key points.
Put the rib meat cut into pomegranate grains into the bowl, add a quarter of the soaked scallion and ginger water, add a portion of shrimp, and crab meat.
"Did you invent this yourself?" Liu Abao was really curious. It was the first time he saw shrimp added to this dish.
"Not necessarily. Some places do this." Su Chen made up a lie. The shrimp was in the recipe. He tried adding it and not adding it. He felt that it tasted more delicious after adding it.
Add one ounce of refined salt and pour half of the prepared sauce into it.
Repeat this until all the scallion and ginger water in the bowl is blended into it. Su Chen stopped.
Liu Abao waited for this step for a long time. He really wanted to see how to make this kind of pomegranate-sized meat into a meatball!
"Ha!" Su Chen suddenly shouted!
He grabbed a handful of meat from the bowl with his right hand and threw it into another clean bowl!
This loud shout scared Liu Shengnan so much that she shuddered!
What is he doing!
Throwing it once is not enough, Su Chen took out the piece of meat, "Ha!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, he threw it into the bowl again!
After repeating this several times, he exhaled, held the piece of meat in his right hand, and turned it back and forth with his left hand. In a moment, a meat ball the size of a girl's fist appeared in his hand!
"Oh my God, Boss Su, you are really..." Liu Abao thought for a long time before he shoved out four words, "Amazing skills!"
Meat as big as pomegranate seeds cannot be attached by thickening, and Su Chen's strong beating can indeed make them slowly stick together.
But this is too fierce, right?
Su Chen sighed after doing the same with another piece of meat, "This way, the shape of the meat will not be destroyed."
This is the truth, but Abao still thinks it's a bit too much!
After doing this, Su Chen stretched his arms and took out the wok and put it on the stove.
"If this is really done, I don't think these two dishes are expensive." Liu Shengnan muttered to herself.
Aunt Fang nodded numbly with a blank face, "If it's someone with less strength, it really can't be done."
"Yes, it's hard for older people to do it." Liu Abao didn't realize that he had been made a little silly by the employees of Delicious.
The next steps are relatively simple.
Su Chen's movements also began to become faster, and he also had time to chat.
"Why didn't you see He Shuting?"
When cooking on weekdays, this girl would be the first to run to the kitchen to record the video.
"Her?" Liu Shengnan was quite disdainful, "Since you told him to take care of those little brats today, he has been at Ling Shuyu's place all afternoon."
"Okay." Su Chen smiled and shook his head.
He had never thought about how to arrange He Shuting's work content, so this time it was easy.
A new department was directly assigned three employees.
He Shuting was responsible for the daily life of the children. There was a professional kindergarten teacher in the department who took care of the children, and the parents were easy to talk to.
Ling Shuyu was in charge of the overall situation. In other words, the new department was directly handed over to her for a while.
Zhang Li was just helping out.
With the addition of Liu Abao on the 19th floor, there was no shortage of manpower for the time being.
He put the wok on a high fire and heated it. He scooped in eight cents of lard, and Su Chen's heart began to liven up.
Now he just had to wait for the money to arrive, and then he could complete the task!
He remembered very clearly that the reward for this side quest was even more generous than all the previous rewards!
That was something every chef dreamed of!
