Chapter 162 Random Mission
Shen Lu felt that she had learned the truth. In fact, her guess was absolutely correct.
Shen Lu sighed, the missing items could only be made up with extra ones. Originally, she didn't plan to braise the dishes, but it seemed that she still had to braise some.
Fortunately it is still early and there is no time left.
Shen Lu dug out dried bean sprouts, lotus roots and potatoes from Bai's ingredients, soaked them until they were soft, washed them thoroughly, and poured them all into the re-boiled stewed soup.
You don’t need to cook it for a long time, just turn it on over low heat for fifteen minutes, then turn off the heat and set it aside to simmer until it cools down naturally.
After finishing the braised meat, Shen Lu was about to start cooking the braised pork, which took the longest time.
The pork belly was freshly delivered today, and it was still warm to the touch. Shen Lu changed the knife three times, and used the two pots together to fry the pork belly until it was golden.
Shen Lu is already very good at making braised pork. His movements are so smooth that Uncle Qian, who is also in the kitchen, frequently looks sideways and is secretly surprised.
It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Miss Shen is young, but her skills on the stove are extraordinary.
After the braised pork entered the stewing stage, Shen Lu turned to make the saliva chicken.
Wash the whole chicken, fill the soup pot with water until the chicken is covered, add ginger slices, scallion knots and peppercorns, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium to low heat and cook for 15 minutes, turn off the heat and simmer for a quarter of an hour.
Don’t worry that the chicken will not be cooked. The chicken is just cooked at this moment and tastes fresh and juicy.
Shen Lu brought a large plate of ice water and took the chickens one by one into the ice water. He soaked them for a while until they cooled down when he touched them. Then he took out the chickens and cut them into pieces and put them on the plate.
There are eight chickens in total, cut into a big plate. The red oil was prepared yesterday. Now I just need to season it with some chicken soup and pour it on the chicken. This mouth-watering chicken is complete. .
The aroma of red oil is so overbearing that even a range hood cannot completely absorb it, so it can only let this aroma fill the entire kitchen.
Uncle Qian’s Adam’s apple slid up and down, and a lot of saliva secreted from his mouth.
It smells so good.
It smells really good.
Red oil is not uncommon, but it was the first time he encountered such a fragrant oil.
"Miss Shen, how do you make this red oil?" Uncle Qian asked.
Shen Lu smiled and did not answer him.
Just kidding, the red oil formula was the final version she decided on after many improvements. She will use it in the store to make money in the future, so how could she just tell others about it casually.
"Master Qian, why don't you help me try the taste? I made it based on my feeling. I don't know if it will suit everyone's taste."
Uncle Qian agreed without hesitation and took the chopsticks. I took a piece of chicken leg meat and dipped it in the red oil soup, covering all the white chicken and golden chicken skin.
The pungent smell of peppercorns was even stronger when he was closer. Uncle Qian moved his nose, sneezed, and put the chicken into his mouth in one breath.
The spicyness of the red oil, the freshness of the chicken soup, and the tenderness of the chicken are all just right. The three complement each other and blend with each other. It is no exaggeration to say that this saliva chicken is perfect. Perfect.
Uncle Qian used a lot of willpower to control himself from picking up the second chopstick, but he was sure that as soon as this dish was served, it would be divided into pieces immediately.
"Miss Shen's craftsmanship is very good." He commented honestly, "No wonder the young master specially invited you to come over to cook."
Uncle Qian has been working in the Bai family for twenty years , was also the head chef hired by Bai's father at a high price. Although he had been in the Bai family's kitchen for the past twenty years, he never slacked off a day, often researching new dishes and improving his cooking skills.
He felt that even if his craftsmanship was not top-notch in the imperial capital, it could at least be ranked among the top ten.
So when Bai Lei told him some time ago that he didn't need to cook so many dishes and that he would hire a chef to take care of some of the birthday party dishes, he felt very uncomfortable.
But now that he has tasted Shen Lu's cooking, he is very convinced. At the same time, he is also secretly worried, will the young master let Shen Lu take his place? "Master Qian is so complimentary." Shen Lu replied politely and asked his assistant to cover the chicken and put it aside. When the time comes, he can just bring it to the long table.
[Ding dong~ Release task: Please obtain three-star praise from 30 diners. The completion time is four hours. 】
The task came suddenly. Shen Lu was stunned for a moment and quickly asked the system what was going on.
Shen Lu: "I closed the store today, why are you still posting tasks?"
[Host, please be patient, this is not a daily task, but the system has detected that the host has a large number of productions Food thus triggers random quests. 】
【There is no penalty for failure of random tasks, and there will be rewards after completion. 】
That’s it.
Shen Lu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved because of the sudden announcement of the mission.
Just no punishment.
It’s not that she is not confident in her craftsmanship, but it’s just that it’s hard to reconcile with everyone, and they are a group of young masters and ladies who live a good life. Who knows if they may accidentally step on each other’s minefields?
However, Bai Lei said that there were about 50 guests, plus the Bai family's own people, the total number of people attending the banquet should be about 80.
It shouldn’t be difficult for 80 people to get three-star reviews from 30 people.
Shen Lu sped up and made the spicy crayfish and garlic pork ribs. He then collected the juice from the braised pork that had been stewed for a long time, and asked his assistant to heat up the pumpkin pancake made yesterday.
At ten minutes to twelve, all six dishes that Shen Lu was responsible for were prepared and served on the long banquet table.
Shen Lu rubbed his sore shoulders, sat on the chair and let out a long breath.
I’m so tired.
In the final analysis, this body is still not strong enough.
Shen Lu was planning whether he should take time to go for a run in the backyard every morning. He couldn't force it if he didn't have special powers, so he could only think of some ways to improve his physical fitness.
Uncle Qian and his two assistants, like Shen Lu, sat and rested. After being busy from yesterday to today, they finally prepared the dishes for Bai Lei's birthday party. The effort and energy spent in it was unknown to others. of.
But they can't just sit and rest all the time, there are still some things to deal with.
For example, Shen Lu, she had to push out Bai Lei's birthday cake and sing happy birthday together while blowing out the candles.
After dividing the cake, Shen Lu wanted to find a seat in a corner to stay. When the birthday party was over, she could almost leave.
"Yes, these dishes are all made by Shen Lu." Bai Wanwan grabbed Shen Lu who turned around and dragged her to the front of the crowd, "If you have anything to ask, just ask her directly. "
Shen Lu was confused, huh? What just happened?
A few boys and girls were holding dinner plates with bulging mouths and looking at Shen Lu curiously.
Bai Lei and Bai Wanwan are not in the same school. Bai Lei's classmates don't know Shen Lu, but they feel that she looks inexplicably familiar, as if they have seen her somewhere.
“The food you make is so delicious.” A 1.9-meter-tall boy took a bite of a chicken leg, “Especially the braised food platter, it makes people want to eat it again.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"I heard from Bai Lei that you have your own shop, what's its name? I'll go to your shop to eat later."
