Chapter 483 Hurry home...
On this side, Su Chen walked into the kitchen and continued making the batter he was halfway through.
Gouache paste is the simplest and also the most demanding.
Some schools of cooking use watercolor to support the egg batter, which means adding extra egg white to the batter, while some schools use raw and cooked batter, adding half of the hot noodles to the batter.
If you want the carp to be crispier, you can also add a glass of beer to the batter. The bubbles in the beer will make the fried carp more porous.
There is no difference in authenticity between these methods, they are just different schools. If you don’t have the skills, the results will not be good no matter what kind of batter you use.
Su Chen told Liu Taotao and his family to just wait outside for dinner and they didn't need to come in to help.
After receiving the instructions, Mr. Liu returned to the sofa. He felt a little restless and looked towards the kitchen from time to time.
Liu Taotao was extremely excited.
He held up his phone and took several photos of Su Chen busy in the kitchen. He sent them to the fan club and added a text to show off.
"Family, who knows? The feeling of waiting comfortably in the living room for Boss Su to prepare and serve the meal is simply wonderful!"
"This is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of!"
He thought of the days when he used to chase Boss Su everywhere, and the happiness he felt at this moment was like an unreal illusion.
Not long after the message was sent, the group became lively.
"Damn it!!! I'm starving, where did this show-off come from? Kick it, kick it!"
"Damn, is your family still short of food? I can be a dog and take care of the leftovers."
"Woo woo woo, is there any more convoys?"
“…”
The more people in the fan club cursed Liu Taotao, the more excited he became instead of angry, and the smile on his face became brighter.
"Do you know that your smile right now is so mean and makes you look like a villain?"
Liu Mengmeng glanced at the news in the fan club, then looked at Liu Taotao's smug expression. She felt it was simply unbearable to watch and couldn't help but complain.
"Haha, if being a villain means I can eat Boss Su's cooking every day, I wouldn't be afraid of being infamous for eternity!"
Liu Taotao waved his hand nonchalantly.
As long as I can taste Su Chen's craftsmanship, everything else doesn't matter.
"You're about to be infamous in this neighborhood forever!"
Mother Liu was fidgeting at the side at the moment. When she heard what her son said, she was so angry that she almost took out the feather duster again.
The more she thought about it, the angrier and more worried she became. When she thought of Aunt Huang's mouth that couldn't keep secrets, she realized that she could no longer sit there and wait for death.
If I don't clarify things quickly, my son's reputation will be ruined, and he might even have to move to another neighborhood.
Thinking of this, Liu Ma could no longer sit still, she stood up and walked out.
This misunderstanding must be cleared up today no matter what.
In the kitchen, the edge of the stew pot lid no longer spewed white steam, only the residual heat left at the bottom of the pot gently bubbling with the last few bubbles of oil.
Su Chen reached out and opened the lid. The rich aroma of sauce mixed with spices instantly gushed out, as well as the sweet aroma of caramel wrapped in melted rock sugar, all of which were stewed into the meat.
The pork belly in the pot is dark amber in color, the fat and lean pieces of pork belly are trembling slightly, the shiny skin and meat are soaked in the sauce, and they are shining attractively under the light.
The quail eggs sank to the bottom of the soup, their skin dyed into a sauce color, while the green peppers lay soft and limp next to the meat, shiny green.
Su Chen poked the meat lightly with the tip of the chopsticks, and the piece of meat separated obediently, revealing the tender fibers inside, while still maintaining its intact shape.
Hmm...
Not bad, quite perfect!
It was worth it that he fine-tuned the heat twice during this period and soaked it for another ten minutes after turning off the heat.
Su Chen took a large white porcelain bowl with a wide mouth, scooped two spoonfuls of thick soup into it, and then used chopsticks to pick up the pieces of meat one by one and put them in.
The fat part is crystal clear, the lean meat has distinct textures, quail eggs roll in it, and green peppers are placed on the edge as embellishment.
Finally, pour a spoonful of boiling hot original soup on it. The oil spreads on the surface in tiny golden circles, and the aroma rises up and goes straight into your nose.
The wafting fragrance instantly caught Liu Taotao's olfactory nerves in the living room.
He couldn't sit still any longer, so he slipped into the kitchen and took a deep breath.
Then, he said to Su Chen attentively: "Boss Su, let me take the dishes out."
“I just finished a dish.”
Su Chen reminded Liu Taotao.
It doesn’t look good if a dish is placed alone on the table. It would be better to wait until several dishes are served before starting the meal.
"It's okay. When you set up a stall, you usually only have one dish. I'm used to it."
Liu Taotao said with a grin, as if it was a matter of course.
Su Chen was stunned by these words. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he really had no way to refute it.
After all, when I set up my own stall, even if there was only one dish, the diners would eat it with gusto.
This bowl of temptingly colored and fragrant braised pork was placed on the dining table by Liu Taotao.
"Hey, why hasn't my mom come back yet? Could it be that she lives across the street?"
Liu Taotao looked at the pork belly that had just been served on the table. His appetite had already been aroused. He wanted to call everyone to start eating immediately, but suddenly he found that his mother was still at Aunt Huang's house across the street and had not returned yet.
Helpless, he could only get up and prepare to call his mother home for dinner.
When he arrived at the opposite door, Liu Taotao intended to knock on the door politely, but found that the security door was not closed tightly, but was ajar.
Without thinking too much, he just gently pushed the door open and walked in.
Standing at the entrance, he raised his voice and shouted, "Mom, come home for dinner! Hurry!"
Soon, Aunt Huang and Aunt Liu came over from the living room, talking and laughing.
Seeing how harmonious the two of them were, Liu Taotao couldn't tell for a moment whether the misunderstanding had been resolved.
As soon as Aunt Huang saw Liu Taotao, she immediately said earnestly, "Taotao, I heard from your mother that you, child, are arranging flower baskets, buying bouquets, and even hiring someone to come and cook for you. This is not the way to spend money."
She paused slightly and continued, "Young people, you still have to save more money. You need to buy a house and get married in the future. These are big things."
"If you ask me, what kind of food is good to eat? Why spend that much money to have someone come to cook for you?"
"I think that guy is very young. He doesn't look like an experienced chef at all. Maybe the food he cooks won't be as delicious as mine!"
The older generation generally has the same idea. They are reluctant to spend money and reluctant to have a sense of ceremony.
Liu Taotao just listened with one ear and out with the other, not taking it to heart.
But this time, when I heard Aunt Huang actually belittle Boss Su, I couldn't tolerate it anymore.
“Auntie Huang, Boss Su is not what you think! Boss Su is worth it!”
