Through the Window: Lin Luoxue's Lazy Cousin

Page 1215

It's so frustrating to see sweet and sour pork right in front of you but not be able to eat it.

"Eat, eat, eat! ~"

Cheng Shu ignored all of that and quickly handed over the chopsticks.

Yu Hao took a bite of the white plate.

"Hmm!~~"

Liu Zi's eyes lit up.

He glanced smugly at Liao Ran, thinking to himself that when it comes to making sweet and sour pork, it has to be me.

But their smugness was short-lived, as they were interrupted by another exclamation of surprise.

Look up.

Yu Hao kept nodding as he looked at the black plate.

Liu Zi's expression darkened.

Yu Hao ignored all of that and quickly called out, "Come and try it, it tastes great."

Su Chen and his group walked over.

They each had a piece sandwiched inside.

Fortunately, the two of them made quite a lot this time, otherwise it really wouldn't have been enough for them to eat.

Everyone finished eating.

They were all nodding incessantly.

There was no reply.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, who do you think did the best?" Cheng Shu looked at them expectantly.

Actually, I think...

"Actually, there's still so much left. You can try it yourselves, since you're all guests here to taste the food." Su Chen stopped Li Shuci and let the people opposite her try the dishes.

Li Shuci did not understand.

But he obediently listened and didn't say much.

"Black!! Black!!!"

"Wow!!! So tender and crispy, so delicious, and it's black!!!"

"It feels a bit cold. It would taste even better if it were warmed up. I'll choose the black one too!"

"..."

Not only the staff, but even the guesthouse owner Cheng Shu couldn't help but choose black after eating it.

This greatly displeased Liu Zi, who was a chef.

"Do you guys even know what sweet and sour pork is? It doesn't even have a pungent smell!"

Tao Hao hadn't paid attention to this.

Looking at Xiao Haiyang: "Is this what authentic Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork) is like?"

Xiao Haiyang: "I think so, I never noticed it when I ate it before."

"You can't get anything out of a guy whose brain is only about food," Xiao Yu retorted mercilessly.

Xiao Haiyang: "..."

Su Chen turned his head and said, "That's right. The reason why Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork) is pungent is because when this dish was first invented, the conditions did not allow for the use of vinegar essence for seasoning. Later, white vinegar was used instead."

Liao Ran, who was standing next to him, clapped his hands and said, "This guest is very knowledgeable."

"Do you know how I season this (Denoho) dish?"

Liao Ran studied Western cuisine, and naturally, he also learned those Western cooking habits.

That is, I like to chat with customers.

Lin Luoxue playfully teased him, "Cousin, you're so knowledgeable!"

The people behind him chuckled softly.

Su Chen not only understood, he understood it beyond measure.

If you let him make this dish.

It will taste even better.

Unfortunately, we couldn't persuade them to come.

Su Chen ignored them and looked at Liao Ran.

"Your dish is indeed very good, but it's not the taste we wanted."

786: Although it tastes good, it's not authentic. (Thanks for subscribing)

786: Although it tastes good, it's not authentic. (Thanks for subscribing)

Liao Ran was quite curious.

"How to say?"

"To make the flavor more palatable to the general public, you didn't use vinegar, but instead used lemon, natural substances from green apples and pineapples, as well as citric acid for flavoring, right?"

"That's right."

Su Chen laughed and said, "You even massaged each piece of meat to break down the tendons, and the batter you used was different from that of ordinary sweet and sour pork."

"Oh, and oil too."

Liao Ran clapped his hands, looking at Su Chen with great appreciation.

"You're absolutely right. This method makes the meat crispier on the outside and more tender on the inside."

Those around were taken aback.

100

I never imagined that cooking a meal could be so complicated.

Liu Zi's eyelids twitched.

I'd already experienced this guy's elaborate sitting posture when cooking rice before, but I didn't expect this dish to be even more troublesome.

How can this compare?

He turned to look at Su Chen; his hopes now rested on Su Chen.

After explaining his actions, Liao Ran became even more curious about Su Chen's evaluation.

"Why does everything seem to say that my food tastes better, but why do you say it doesn't meet your expectations?"

“Your use of Western cooking methods to make Chinese food does make it taste better, but it loses the local flavor.”

Su Chen turned around and called out, "Brother Hao, what's your impression of frozen northern vegetables?"

"The taste is just right, and the portion is generous and filling!"

'Pfft! ~'

Hearing Yu Hao's words, Xiao Haiyang and the others couldn't help but chuckle.

I vaguely remember how Yu Hao cried while finishing the food he ordered last time, after he was so full.

quite funny.

Liao Ran: "..."

"Do you understand now?" Su Chen looked at them. "Although this is just his own stereotype, it has to be said that these stereotypes are also a characteristic of local cuisine."

"It's like when you go to Sichuan Province to work as a chef, you reduce the spiciness of the food to make it more delicious."

"Then tell me, is it still Sichuan cuisine from Sichuan Province?"

Yu Hao added from the side, "For example, I also want to eat braised goose in an iron pot, sauerkraut hot pot, and chicken stew with mushrooms. If you make them all so elaborately, why would I come all the way to Beijing?"

"Why don't I just go to a Western restaurant?"

"We're here because we want to eat the most authentic frozen northern-style vegetables!"

"So what do you think we should do about this chef competition?" Cheng Shu looked at them with some difficulty.

After all, Su Chen and his group were customers.

The customer is God.

They are now counting on this order to make some money so they can pay off their debts; otherwise, they will really starve to death.

Xiao Yu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

"Your place has nice decor, but you have so few customers. Besides the quality of service, is it also because of the chefs?"

"Ah!~ Actually, you can't say that." Cheng Shu rubbed her hands, trying to save face for her guesthouse.

“I understand now.” Xiao Yu looked at the two people in front of him: “Just let the white chef work with the black chef. We’ll prepare two menus: one for frozen northern cuisine and one for Western cuisine.”
