Chapter 409: Don’t be such a jinx…
Su Chen put everything in place, finished his lunch and went into the kitchen.
What we are going to make today is mango sago, which is a classic Hong Kong-style summer dessert.
It is said that it was first created by the Li Garden Restaurant in Hong Kong. It was originally called Mango Pomelo Sago Dessert. Later, the owner read the story of Guanyin using willow branches to sprinkle nectar to save people from suffering in a book, and he had an idea to change the name to this fairy-like one.
The ingredients delivered by the system are all carefully selected.
Philippine mangoes, each over 80% ripe, are sweet enough to choke your throat without getting stuck in your teeth. Ruby grapefruits are just the right balance of sweet and sour. There's also Thai coconut milk and Dutch evaporated milk...
Su Chen picked up a mango and placed it on the chopping board. The blade of the knife slashed against the core twice, and two large pieces of thick flesh came off.
Make a few cuts horizontally and vertically, push it upwards, and make another cut, and the neatly diced mango will be turned into the plate.
The grapefruit needs to be rolled on the table a few times first so that the flesh is easier to peel.
Su Chen used a knife to cut off the two ends of the pomelo, peeled off the skin along the arc, and then carefully peeled off the petals to take out the fruit.
The grapefruit flesh should be torn into small pieces, each piece intact, and no white veins should be left, otherwise it will taste bitter.
On the stove over there, Butler Ding was staring at the big pot of cooking tapioca pearls.
"Sir, the water is boiling. Can we put the sago in?"
Su Chen glanced back and said, "Well, put it in. Stir constantly... That's right, just like that. Don't let it stick to the bottom of the pot!"
A quarter of an hour later, Butler Ding turned off the fire, covered the pot, and simmered it for seven or eight minutes. The tapioca pearls became crystal clear, and the small white spots in the middle were basically gone. Then he rinsed it with ice water to wash off the mucus on the surface.
Preparing the coconut milk base is even simpler, with a ratio of three parts coconut milk to evaporated milk. As for sugar, just sprinkle a handful according to your feel.
Once the mango puree is blended in the blender, all the ingredients are ready.
Su Chen personally made a sample.
In the transparent milk tea cup, a layer of golden mango puree is spread, and then mango cubes and grapefruit pieces are piled on top. Then, chewy tapioca pearls are poured on top, and finally, snow-white coconut milk is poured on top.
The interweaving of golden and milky white, paired with the bright red fruit particles, is very beautiful. I wonder how perfect it will be if you chill it before drinking it.
Su Chen turned around and took out another small cup and carefully made another one.
The mango cubes were piled high and the grapefruit pieces were so numerous that they were about to overflow.
"Uncle Ding, this cup is for Nuonuo. She'll drink it when she gets home from school."
As he spoke, he tore off a piece of sticky paper, drew a crooked smiley face and stuck it on.
"That little ancestor complained that the pulp I gave her before was not enough. She kept pouting and complaining for a long time. I'll give her more this time."
…
Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, at the location of the two large trees.
At this moment, many old diners have arrived early.
Among these old customers, in addition to the local patrons who missed out yesterday, there are also many dusty outsiders.
"Boss Su, I miss you so much!"
Wang Bin, who came from South City, shouted emotionally towards the empty space between the two trees.
"Could you please stop being so embarrassing? The boss isn't even here!"
His girlfriend Song Fei stood aside, her face full of disgust and an expression that looked as if she couldn't bear to look at him.
"Hey, isn't this Binzi!"
At this time, a sharp-eyed old diner recognized Wang Bin and walked up to him with a smile to say hello.
"I haven't seen you since the last time I slurped noodles at the funeral home. How have you been lately?"
The old diner asked curiously.
"It's terrible. I just went on a business trip to a food desert."
"I can't sleep or eat well every day. You have no idea how much I miss Boss Su's cooking. Every time I can't sleep in the middle of the night, I hide in my bed and cry, covering my mouth, afraid that the tears will flow out of my mouth."
"Please don't fight with me later, let me drink to my heart's content."
Wang Bin sighed heavily, showing an expression that showed he was unwilling to look back.
"Oh, you really suffered a lot."
After hearing this, the old diner couldn't help but show a look of sympathy and gently patted Wang Bin on the shoulder to express his comfort.
"Don't listen to my boyfriend's nonsense. He's gained five pounds since he was on his business trip! I think he's gone there to gain weight!"
Song Fei couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and couldn't help rolling her eyes, ruthlessly exposing Wang Bin's lies.
"Which side are you from?" Wang Bin was immediately furious when his girlfriend exposed him in public.
"I only stand on the side of justice!"
Song Fei put her hands on her hips and spoke righteously.
…
As more and more people came, the old diners had already lined up very consciously.
Ever since the news spread among Su Chen’s fan club, even old customers who had met at the Chengdu Marathon came, and some even brought foreign girls with them.
Daisy, the Englishwoman, was brought here.
At first, Daisy didn't realize what the scene before her meant, and just looked around curiously.
Until her companion Liu Ying said to her in English: "We may have to wait for some time, the boss will not come until six o'clock."
Hearing this, Daisy couldn't help but let out a shocked "OMG!"
She stared at her companion with wide eyes, looking at him in disbelief, and asked, "Liu, are you saying that these people are willing to waste an hour queuing here just to drink the milk tea made by Boss Su?"
Liu Ying nodded.
"That's right."
Daisy shook her head in disbelief and exclaimed, "This is crazy!"
"But I have to try it to see if this milk tea is worth the wait."
Although he said that he felt crazy, his expression showed his anticipation visibly.
At this moment, the old diners in line also noticed Daisy's appearance.
"Holy crap! Boss Su has foreign fans now?"
"What's the big deal? You don't know, but the foreigners ate Bobo Chicken at the Chengdu Marathon so much they almost forgot about running!"
"Food knows no borders! Maybe foreigners would actually like this!"
"Speaking of which, does this foreigner read the words in Chinese or English?"
"Oh, I have an idea. What do you think, Boss Su, will you set up a stall abroad in the future?"
"??? Damn it, shut up! I advise you not to be such a pessimist."
"Is it too late to get a passport now? If Boss Su really goes abroad, we have to chase him!"
“Don’t do that!!”
The scene was bustling with activity, and Wang Bin was not idle either.
He nudged Song Fei beside him with his elbow and said in a low voice, "Don't tell me, I find it quite interesting when I think about this foreigner reciting the words that Boss Su asked for. I wonder if this foreigner is thick-skinned enough to lower his face and recite them."
Song Fei turned her head and gave her boyfriend a cold look.
"Is it possible that even if she said those words, she wouldn't have any idea what they meant? If that's the case, then she probably wouldn't feel embarrassed, right?"
The happy expression on Wang Bin's face suddenly froze, as if he was enlightened by these words.
He suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Don't say it, don't say it! Come to think of it, this foreigner is really good at reciting poems! If it weren't for Boss Su's purchase restrictions, I would have asked her to buy a few more for me!"
