Chapter 38
When Chen Kangle was making new dishes, Xiang Yunting helped to process the ingredients and prepare the side dishes. Under Chen Kangle's instruction, Xiang Yunting was responsible for processing the most important beef brisket, and he wrote down several key points for processing beef brisket.
The beef brisket should be cut into larger pieces because it will shrink after stewing. Soak the cut beef brisket in salt water to remove blood and reduce the fishy smell of the beef brisket. When blanching the beef brisket, put it in cold water. As the water temperature rises, the impurities and foam in the beef brisket can be forced out. After blanching, the beef brisket should be washed with hot water. Cold water will shrink the beef brisket and affect the final aroma of the beef brisket.
When processing beef brisket, Xiang Yunting found that there were many details that he had not noticed when he cooked beef brisket before. For example, he used to soak the beef brisket in clean water without adding salt, which would have a poorer effect in removing the fishy smell. In addition, every time he took out the beef brisket from the water after blanching, he would wash it with cold water, which would not only affect the taste of the beef brisket, but also the aroma of the beef brisket.
Xiang Yunting wrote down these details and tried to get them right when he made beef brisket himself in the future.
In addition to the processing of ingredients, Xiang Yunting felt that Chen Kangle was also particularly good at selecting ingredients. The beef brisket and tendon ratio that Chen Kangle selected this time was half and half, and it was obvious that it was good stuff at first glance.
Xiang Yunting prepared the beef brisket and side dishes, while Chen Kangle was responsible for cooking.
Add oil to a hot pan, put in an appropriate amount of rock sugar, and fry it on low heat until it turns red. Pour in the processed beef brisket, stir-fry evenly on high heat, then add onion, ginger, garlic and various spices, stir-fry until fragrant, add various seasonings, continue to stir-fry on high heat until the beef brisket changes color, pour in an appropriate amount of boiling water, simmer on medium-low heat for half an hour, then add chopped white radish, turn to low heat and continue simmering for 15 minutes, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve.
When cooking beef brisket with radish, Chen Kangle would stop from time to time to explain some important steps to Xiang Yunting. For example, when adding water, you should add enough water at one time so that you don't have to add water in the middle. Adding water in the middle not only affects the cooking speed, but also affects the taste of the beef brisket.
Also, when stewing beef brisket, do not add salt too early. Wait until the beef brisket is stewed until it is soft and then add seasonings. If you add salt too early, the beef brisket will not be easy to stew, resulting in a dry and woody taste.
Xiang Yunting listened attentively and carefully wrote down all the important steps. He had not been working as a kitchen helper at the Kangle Box Restaurant for long, but he felt that he had learned a lot.
There were many things he could not learn when he was a kitchen helper in a restaurant. Xiang Yunting had to admire Chen Kangle for being able to patiently teach him various details.
Xiang Yunting is a sweet-talking boy. Every time Chen Kangle teaches him how to cook, he would praise him from time to time.
"Boss Kang Le, you are the best cook, the best character, and the most beautiful boss I have ever met."
"Boss Kang Le, you are really a god, how can you be so good? You are simply a cooking god."
"Boss Kang Le, this stewed beef brisket with radish that you made must be super delicious. The aroma alone makes me drool."
Every time he heard Xiang Yunting's flattery, Chen Kangle always smiled. No one dislikes compliments, and Chen Kangle is no exception.
After the radish stewed with beef brisket was ready, Chen Kangle served a bowl of radish stewed with beef brisket to Xiang Yunting and said, "Try the new dish and see if it tastes good."
"As long as it's made by our boss Kang Le, it must be delicious." Xiang Yunting started praising it before he even ate it.
The freshly served stewed beef brisket with radish is still steaming, and the aroma wafts out with the steam. The rich beef flavor whets your appetite.
The beef brisket in the bowl is very big, and each piece is bright in color, which is very tempting.
Without saying anything, Xiang Yunting picked up his chopsticks and started eating. The large piece of beef brisket was stewed until it was very soft and tasty. After taking a bite, the overbearing aroma immediately filled the entire mouth, and the aroma became stronger and stronger as he chewed.
"Boss Kangle, the beef brisket smells so good. This is the best beef brisket I have ever eaten."
As he spoke, Xiang Yunting picked up the second piece of beef brisket and put it into his mouth, chewing it happily. The beef brisket had a half-and-half ratio of meat and tendons, and it tasted soft, chewy, and had an excellent taste.
Xiang Yunting thought about the beef brisket he had made before. Originally, he thought that the beef brisket he made was quite good. But now after eating the beef brisket made by Chen Kangle, he felt that the beef brisket he made was very average.
Not only is the aroma not as fragrant as Chen Kangle's, the taste is also not as rich as Chen Kangle's.
Xiang Yunting really liked the soft and chewy texture. The more he chewed, the more delicious it became. He finished the beef brisket in the bowl in one breath.
There were a few pieces of white radish at the bottom of the bowl. Xiang Yunting didn't like white radish very much, but he believed in Chen Kangle's cooking skills. Xiang Yunting picked up a piece of white radish and put it in his mouth. It burst with juice when he took a bite. The white radish was wrapped in thick soup, soft and tasty, and had a light sweetness. It was very suitable to be eaten with beef brisket, which was very greasy.
"Boss Kangle, I guarantee that today's stewed beef brisket with radish will be a big hit." Xiang Yunting said confidently.
As Xiang Yunting expected, today's new dish, stewed beef brisket with radish, was not only a big hit, but also received rave reviews.
"As expected of Boss Chen, you can tell whether it's good or not as soon as you make a move. I really like today's new dish. The beef brisket is so delicious that I can't describe it in words."
"Today's stewed beef brisket with radish is absolutely amazing. Not only is the beef brisket delicious, but the white radish as a side dish is also very delicious."
“I suspect that Boss Chen is a magician who can turn any ingredient into the most delicious dish.”
After class, Yan Zifeng rode his electric bike to the Hezi Restaurant. When he arrived at the Hezi Restaurant, there were already many customers queuing up inside. He stood obediently at the back waiting in line.
Hearing someone in front of him discussing a new dish today, which is stewed beef brisket with radish, Yan Zifeng immediately thought of his friends in the lunch box purchasing group. When they ordered lunch boxes today, they didn't know that the restaurant had a new dish today. If they knew there was a new dish, they might want to order it.
Yan Zifeng decided to ask in the group.
Yan Zifeng: [Friends who ordered lunch boxes today, Kangle Box Restaurant has a new dish of stewed beef brisket with radish today. Do you want to try it? If you want to try it, please sign up. ]
As long as you are a customer of Kangle Box Restaurant, no one would not want to try the new dishes.
Cheng Xing: [Wow! The Kangle Box Restaurant finally has new dishes. I have to try the new dishes. I want to order another new dish.]
Persistent and calm: [I want to sign up, I like beef brisket the most. ]
The fair-skinned and beautiful princess: [Yes, yes, yes! ! ! Order me a bowl of stewed beef brisket with carrots, and I’ll give you a red envelope with the extra money. ]
Yan Zifeng just started the conversation, and the ten friends who ordered lunch boxes today all signed up to order stewed beef brisket with radish.
Xu Yutong is also a student at Haishi College of Economics. She is also a homebody who likes to stay in the dormitory and watch TV series or read novels.
After eating the lunch box bought by her roommate last week, she fell in love with the Kangle lunch box. Even if she didn't want to go out, she still forced herself to go out for the lunch box.
Until one day she saw a post about buying lunch boxes on the school forum. Even though she thought the five-dollar purchase fee was a bit expensive, she thought the lunch boxes themselves were not expensive, so even if the five-dollar purchase fee was added, it would not be expensive.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yutong sent a private message to the host, but she was a step behind, and the host only helped to buy ten boxes at a time. Later, she joined the host's lunch box buying group, intending to grab the spot for tomorrow's purchase.
Unexpectedly, there were 200 people in the lunch box purchasing group, and she couldn't get a spot at all, which almost made her angry to death.
Because she stayed up late watching TV series last night, she had a headache today, so she didn't really want to go out.
Then, Xu Yutong saw two posts about buying lunch boxes on the school forum. She immediately sent private messages to both posters and soon joined their lunch box buying groups.
Xu Yutong found that there were some people in the group who were like her, in the first lunch box purchasing group. Because they did not grab the purchasing quota of the first lunch box purchasing group, they joined the new lunch box purchasing group.
There are two newly added lunch box purchasing groups, each with more than a hundred people. One group has ten purchasing quotas, and the other has fifteen purchasing quotas.
Xu Yutong started a new round of grabbing spots. Because of her slow hands, she didn’t get one in either group. She was so angry that she rolled her eyes.
Today she tried to get places in three groups, but ended up not getting any of them.
Xu Yutong, who had taken a leave of absence from class because of a headache, lay in bed thinking again and again. She wanted to eat a box lunch, but didn't want to go out.
Several of her roommates had classes in the afternoon. They all ate in the cafeteria and then went directly to the East District to rest without returning to the dormitory. They did not bring her any food at all.
Xu Yutong tossed and turned in bed, as if she had a disease that would kill her if she left the bed. Xu Yutong, who had a headache, decided to sleep a little longer, and only got up at 12 o'clock to decide whether to go to the Heya restaurant.
At 12 o'clock, the alarm rang. Xu Yutong opened her phone with sleepy eyes. She still felt a headache. She rubbed her eyes, opened her phone and saw that the lunch box purchasing group was discussing the new dishes of Kangle Box Restaurant. Today, the new dish of the box restaurant was stewed beef brisket with radish. Xu Yutong's eyes lit up instantly.
"Oh my god, the new dish is stewed beef brisket with radish."
Xu Yutong usually likes to eat beef brisket. She likes the aroma of beef brisket. If the beef brisket is made by the owner of the box restaurant, it will definitely taste better. Xu Yutong is tempted.
Even though she was sleepy and tired, she still tried to get up from the bed. Xu Yutong got out of bed and washed her face to force herself to wake up. After a simple wash, Xu Yutong changed her clothes and prepared to go out.
Xu Yutong felt much more energetic when she thought about eating the beef brisket made by the lunch box restaurant owner.
When she arrived at the lunch box restaurant, Xu Yutong was already fully awake. After waiting in line for about 20 minutes, Xu Yutong bought her lunch box and ordered the new dish of the day, stewed beef brisket with radish.
The beef brisket is a big piece, visibly tender and juicy, the reddish-brown color is very attractive, and it exudes the mellow aroma of beef brisket.
Xu Yutong couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth. The soft and tender beef brisket was fresh, tender and tasty. Every texture was delicious. It was firm but not dry, and the texture was soft but chewy. The more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes, and the aftertaste is long.
After eating just one piece, Xu Yutong's taste buds were conquered by the delicious beef brisket. She ate one bite after another, getting more and more addicted.
This dish of stewed beef brisket with radish is hundreds of times more delicious than any beef brisket she has ever eaten before, and the aroma of beef brisket fills her lips and teeth.
After finishing all the beef brisket, Xu Yutong looked at the remaining white radish. White radish is the best partner for beef brisket. It was also stewed very well and absorbed the rich soup. It was full of freshness, fragrance and sweetness in one bite and was extremely delicious.
Xu Yutong was very satisfied with the meal. It was worth the trip to be able to eat such delicious beef brisket.
At this time, Guo Shujie was also in Kangle Boxed Meal Restaurant. Today, he also came to eat the new dish of stewed beef brisket with carrots. Seeing that the boxed meal restaurant was becoming more and more popular, Guo Shujie was very pleased. He felt that it would not take long for Chen Kangle to earn enough money to open a boxed meal restaurant in the city. At that time, he would not have to travel all the way to the suburbs to eat boxed meals every day.
"Hi, Boss Chen, I'm here again." Guo Shujie greeted Chen Kangle happily.
"Hi, you're here again!" Chen Kangle also greeted Guo Shujie happily.
When preparing lunch boxes for Guo Shujie, Chen Kangle specially prepared some extra beef brisket for him. She was very grateful to Guo Shujie. If Guo Shujie had not lent her money to open a lunch box restaurant, she would not have been able to own her own lunch box restaurant so soon.
Guo Shujie took the lunch box and quickly picked up the beef brisket and started eating as soon as he sat down. The beef brisket was plump, tender, soft and juicy. He loved it very much.
He had just finished enjoying his delicious box lunch when he saw his mother walk into the box lunch restaurant.
Now Guo Shujie's mother Xiao Rong also likes the boxed lunches from Kangle Box Restaurant very much, and often brings her sisters here to eat boxed lunches.
Xiao Rong came here today for the stewed beef brisket with radish. She loved the fresh, fragrant and tender beef brisket. Xiao Rong was so impressed by the freshness and fragrance of the beef brisket that she immediately posted a message on WeChat Moments.
Xiao Rong: [The steaming hot stewed beef brisket with radish is super delicious, fresh, crispy and soft, it hits the depths of your taste buds!!!]
At this time, Zhang Sumei had just finished her lunch. She also had a new dish today, stewed beef brisket with radish. The tender beef brisket was extremely fresh and fragrant. After eating it, her lips and teeth were still filled with the rich aroma of the beef brisket, which made people linger on it.
Zhang Sumei was savoring the delicious aroma of the beef brisket while scrolling through her Moments. She saw a post by Xiao Rong.
When she saw the words "steaming hot", Zhang Sumei thought that the heat from the beef brisket she had just eaten had almost dissipated, leaving only a little bit of residual warmth.
The beef brisket, which was only slightly warm, was so delicious. Zhang Sumei began to imagine that it would be even more delicious if it was steaming hot.
Zhang Sumei was excited and wanted to eat the steaming hot beef brisket.
Ever since Chen Kangle rejected her invitation to be a private chef last time, Zhang Sumei said she didn't want to eat Kangle's boxed lunches anymore. But later she couldn't help it and secretly asked the runner to help buy boxed lunches for her to eat at home.
From then on, she always asked the runner to help her buy lunch boxes, and never went to the lunch box restaurant again. She was worried that she would run into Xiao Rong and the others at the lunch box restaurant. She told Xiao Rong and the others that she would never go to Kangle lunch box restaurant again, and it would be very embarrassing if she ran into them at the lunch box restaurant.
She really wanted to taste the steaming hot beef brisket. Zhang Sumei thought about it for a long time and decided to go to the Kangle Box Restaurant in person in the afternoon.
In order to avoid running into Xiao Rong and the others, Zhang Sumei planned to go to the Hedian restaurant at 5 o'clock. She usually looked at Xiao Rong's circle of friends and saw that Xiao Rong and the others always went to the Hedian restaurant at around 6 o'clock, so she could avoid them by going at 5 o'clock.
At about 4:50 in the afternoon, Zhang Sumei arrived at the box lunch restaurant. As soon as the box lunch restaurant opened, she entered the store and queued up. After waiting for a while, she bought a box lunch and ordered her favorite dish, stewed beef brisket with radish.
The beef brisket stewed with radish was steaming and smelled extremely fragrant.
Zhang Sumei took her meal and found an empty seat and sat down. Just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks, she heard someone calling her.
"Sister Zhang, why are you here at the Hedian Restaurant?" Xiao Rong saw Zhang Sumei as soon as she walked into the Hedian Restaurant.
