Chapter 269 Solve the Problem

Peng Bai nodded and smiled, "I used to use firewood, but now I use natural gas and electricity. Of course, more importantly, there is a pressure cooker now, and the time has been reduced by at least nine tenths. However, this tenth of the time will take at least two hours to complete. Generally, famous hotels, either the guests make reservations in advance, or the hotels often prepare this kind of porridge and keep cooking. According to the regular method, the longer the cooking time, the better the porridge tastes."

Sun Jing was depressed now. If Peng Bai said that, he would probably not be able to get this porridge well for a while.

"Come on, if you help, Brother Sun, you can complete it within the specified time. Don't be idle either. People said that there are ten dishes in total, and now only three dishes are served. Fry out the dishes you are best at and send them over. Don't make any noise. It's not worth asking them to catch our braids." Peng Bai said to the other two chefs with a smile.

The two chefs were very energetic after hearing Peng Bai's words. Although they passed by this for a short time, they were more useful than studying in school for a month, so they immediately started preparing the ingredients to make the dishes they were best at.

"Junior Brother Peng, what do you think you need me to do! I'll give you a try." Sun Jing has long been the only one who follows Peng Baima. The gap in cooking skills cannot be made up by age. Sun Jing can be said to be convinced by Peng Bai's cooking skills.

"Put the glutinous rice, millet and rice into warm water, rotate it clockwise with your hands, choose an aluminum basin in the vessel, heat it with the minimum fire, and make sure to stir it constantly." Peng Bai instructed.

Sun Jing nodded. He could still do this.

Peng Bai chose a piece of steak, which was the tenderest part. He used a kitchen knife to carefully turn the beef into three centimeters thick, one-quarter of the size of a regular steak, soaked it in hawthorn water to remove the unpleasant taste unique to the beef.

After cutting the beef, Peng Bai came to the vegetable cutting room and began to select chestnuts. Among the top porridge, chestnuts are one of the ingredients. The chestnuts must be selected as the same size, and they must be shelled and peeled. There must be no broken places or any skin left.

The most correct way to peel chestnuts is to be divided into three steps. The first step is to use a knife to mark two crosses on the chestnut shell, and then put it in an oil pan to fry. The oil in the oil pan should be ripe. After about three minutes, the chestnut shell will become crisp. Use a light pat on the back of the knife to make the shells get rid of the chestnut, and it will also take a part of the chestnut skin. Next, use a bamboo brush to brush the chestnut skin in ice water, and use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to make the chestnut skin and chestnut skin separate; then you need to observe with your naked eyes to remove the remaining chestnut skin and the broken things on the chestnut.

The peeled chestnuts are crushed with the blade of the kitchen knife. Because they have been fried, the chestnuts are basically ripe, but they have not yet reached the level of dough. Now, when you use the blade to crush them, the first thing will not stick to the blade because they are particularly ripe. In addition, it is because this 70% mature can be processed twice, which tastes better and the cooking time is shorter.

"Are you okay?" Peng Bai asked Sun Jing.

Sun Jing's hand was stirring three kinds of rice like a mixer. Because the temperature continued to increase, Sun Jing had reached the limit of patience.

"Okay, okay." Sun Jing replied quickly.

Sun Jing handed the aluminum basin to Peng Bai with a heat-insulating glove in his left hand. Peng Bai took it with his bare hands, which made Sun Jing stunned. After all, the aluminum basin absorbs heat very quickly. Even if the small fire is heated, the heat generated is not something that ordinary people can tolerate. Even Sun Jing can feel the heat with a heat insulating glove.

Of course, Sun Jing could not understand the special training that Peng Bai had undergone. In order to practice heat resistance, Peng Bai's hands had undergone high-temperature training. At the beginning, Peng Bai's hands were scalded with large blisters all over his hands. Before the blisters were eliminated, he had to start training again. In this way, the blisters on Peng Bai's hands turned into hard calluses, and the hard calluses became very soft after high temperatures. Finally, they were perfectly combined with the skin on Peng Bai's hands, and they had the result of not being afraid of burns now.

Peng Bai put a piece of gauze on the basin, covered the mouth of the aluminum basin, then picked up the basin and walked to the edge of the sink, poured it hard with both hands, and the water in the basin was filtered and flowed out through the gauze. The remaining were three kinds of materials mixed with rice.

"Soak a bowl of dried red dates." Peng Bai saw Sun Jing looking at him stupidly, and ordered with a smile.

Peng Bai took out a pressure cooker, put the mixture of glutinous rice, rice and millet into it, and then poured it in with beef bone soup instead of water. The ratio was one to five, add five parts of beef bone soup for one part of the ingredients, and then heat it on the fire for ten minutes.

People who often use pressure cookers know that usually make porridge in a pressure cooker, and it will be almost done in five minutes. In ten minutes, the rice in the porridge will become very rotten, but it tastes a bit sticky, and it is not as good as pressing in a pressure cooker for five minutes. Peng Bai naturally knows this, but pressing for ten minutes is considered less for Peng Bai. This is just the first step in making the first prize porridge.

Ten minutes later, Peng Bai released the pressure in the pressure cooker, turned on the pressure cooker, poured the chestnut powder and chestnut particles into the pressure cooker, and then continued to heat for five minutes.

After these two steps, the chestnuts in the pressure cooker and the three ingredients are perfectly mixed together, and they taste slightly sweet.

Five minutes later, Peng Bai opened the pressure cooker after decompression, then placed the pressure cooker that was no different from the ordinary pot on the fire and continued to heat it, then sprinkled with a little salt to make the porridge taste slightly salty. Cook this way for twenty minutes, and then added the processed beef slices.

The time for adding beef slices is also very particular. Although Peng Bai chose the tenderest beef among the steaks, just like making steaks, the heated time will be too long, and the beef will become stiff and difficult to bite. If the time is too short, it will be raw and it will taste too tough. In addition to the high temperature of the porridge in the pressure cooker, generally two minutes will take the time to heat it.

"Okay, serve the porridge." Peng Bai said loudly as he saw that the porridge was almost done.

Several refined porridge bowls were placed in front of Peng Bai. Peng Bai used a large spoon to scoop the porridge, then poured it into the ratio of two slices of beef in a bowl of porridge, and then placed a red soaked red date in the middle of each bowl of porridge, and the top porridge was completed.

Seeing Xiao Ren and several other department managers marveling, Peng Bai knew that Xiao Ren's conspiracy failed again this time, but it could not be ended so simply. If you don't teach him some lessons, maybe there will be a second or third time...

"Manager Xiao, how does it taste?" Peng Bai asked with a smile. Just as Xiao Ren's food seemed to be completely inconsistent with his identity, Peng Bai also knew that Xiao Ren was eating very well.

"Well! The taste of these dishes is average, this porridge is pretty good!" Xiao Ren replied as if he was a gourmet.

"Oh! Then please pay!" Peng Bai smiled and took the menu price list from the waiter.

"Well! Okay, I, Xiao Ren, speaks the same thing. Chef Sun, we will be friends from now on, not a relationship between superiors and subordinates." Xiao Ren nodded and took the menu price list and said to Sun Jing.

Sun Jing looked at Xiao Ren with contempt. Even if he paid for such a person, he would not want to recognize him as a friend, because it was simply an insult to himself.

"What, 5,700 yuan? What dish is so expensive?" Xiao Ren did not see Sun Jing's expression, because his attention was quickly attracted by the menu price list in his hand. When Xiao Ren saw the last row of numbers in the menu, he screamed in surprise.

Peng Bai smiled and said, "The other seven dishes are all medium-grade dishes that are around 60 yuan, which is not worth much. My senior brother Sun discussed it. We gave the other seven dishes and wine to Manager Xiao, which is considered to be a friend. However, the three dishes and one congee that Manager Xiao ordered are not that simple. I wonder where Manager Xiao knew about these three dishes and one congee? This is the top dish in the ancient Forbidden Palace. They were eaten by ancient emperors. The ingredients they chose, the auxiliary materials they added, and the medicinal materials used were all the best. Just take this one and it seems very simple.

Let’s talk about the porridge! Only the top prize winners in the new top prize are qualified to drink. The glutinous rice used in it has been selected from thousands of glutinous rice. It is bright in color, like pearl luster, and the size and shape must be exactly the same. The millet must also be the northeastern millet in the eastern region. You must choose a spike of the sharpest ear. Basically, one hectare can only produce four taels of millet, and this rice. This Taoyin rice, which is only found in the central part of the World Alliance, grows on stone slabs rather than in the soil. These three materials are not affordable for ordinary white-collar workers."

When Peng Bai saw Xiao Ren's surprised expression, he was so happy that he was about to cramp.

"In the entire canteen of Juanwei Group, these three ingredients are also specially prepared for the chairman to eat. However, since you, Manager Xiao, asked for this porridge, we must of course satisfy your wish. However, it seems that when Manager Xiao asked about the name of this porridge, he did not ask the price! This bowl of porridge was only a bowl of money, but a bowl of 400 yuan is the most basic price. Our manual fee for cooking is not included. Just the cost of the porridge, tsk! That's all."

"There is also this dish that dominates Jiuzhou. All the ingredients you choose are fine. Only fine products can cook such exquisite dishes, so naturally it will not be cheap at this price." Peng Bai smiled and explained the three dishes ordered by Xiao Ren and the porridge on the table in an extremely detailed manner.

Not only Peng Bai was about to laugh, but even Sun Jing, who was standing beside Peng Bai, was about to laugh to death. Sun Jing said to himself: "This Peng Bai is too exaggerating. The highest-end ingredients used in these dishes are just the big shrimp. The others are very ordinary. If I were asked to order them, these dishes cost a total of 600 yuan. I would think they would make a fortune. Peng Bai actually costs more than 5,000 yuan in three dishes and one porridge."

Don’t care how much Peng Bai wants, but Peng Bai knows that Xiao Ren will definitely not give money. In the group, eating in the canteen does not require money. However, you need to use an employee ID card to prove that you are an employee within the group, which is free. But if you enter the private room, it is equivalent to ordering dishes and a chef needs to cook dishes for you specifically. Of course, it will cost money. Moreover, the group’s rules are very strict. Do not allow the drawing of accounts for meals, and you must pay them at once to avoid some people corruption by taking advantage of small gains. Of course, this is also a way to compensate for daily economic consumption in the canteen.

Xiao Ren is a villain who is a villain and his personality is indeed the same as a villain. However, according to Peng Bai's understanding, the more villain he is, the more he is, the more he is. However, his revenge will be stronger after suffering losses. Peng Bai is not afraid of his revenge, but it is precisely because Peng Bai caught this Xiao Ren and would not be embarrassed in front of a manager of the same level, so let alone five thousand, even if Peng Bai wants 5,000, he still has to take it out.

This method of remediation is indeed the best now. Xiao Ren went to the kitchen doctor to ask the difficult dishes, but he would definitely not ask the price of the dishes. But the chef in the kitchen may say something simple that anyone can cook? This is naturally impossible, so the dishes they mentioned are naturally high-end, and high-end dishes naturally have high-end prices.

Xiao Ren has suffered a huge loss now. Not only has he not done anything to Sun Jing, but he has also paid for at least half a month's salary.

"Junior brother! I have seen your ability to blackmail people. The price of these dishes is at most more than 600, right?" Sun Jing asked with a smile after Xiao Ren and other department managers left.

Peng Bai shook his head and smiled: "If the materials are really used what I said, I'm afraid there will be a zero after the price."

Sun Jing opened her mouth wide in surprise, unable to believe what Peng Bai said.

Peng Bai smiled and said, "If the time is sufficient and the ingredients are refined, then the price is like this, 10,000 yuan, these two dishes and a porridge, and the Fengshui Baixing Pills are only more than 100 yuan. No matter what ingredients are used, it is not that cheap, but the other two dishes are not that cheap! So! I still have to lose less today! It is to avoid the troubles in the future and let Xiao Ren know that we have cooking skills that he cannot reach, but he did not kill him."

Sun Jing was not very clear about Peng Bai's words, but it would be fine if Peng Bai knew it in his heart. It would be better for an honest person like Sun Jing to concentrate on studying cooking skills.

Xiao Ren and Peng Bai thought exactly the same. After saying goodbye to other department managers, Xiao Ren immediately called the chef who had the best relationship with him in the kitchen. It was precisely because of the chef's introduction that Xiao Ren was able to hire three special chefs to support the scene at the group's annual banquet and show his abilities.

When Xiao Ren heard the price of the three dishes and one congee he had just tasted in the evening, his eyes widened, and he couldn't imagine that just these three ordinary dishes and one ordinary porridge cost about 50,000 yuan. Is eating vegetables and drinking porridge? It's like eating gold and drinking diamonds!

Xiao Ren recalled the price he spent tonight, and only had one feeling in his heart: it was worth it.

When the other party heard that there was actually a chef who could make two dishes that could only be learned by senior chefs in the kitchen door, and porridge that only special chefs could come into contact with, he expressed his doubts, because the chefs inside the kitchen door were logged in in a certain area, and if they wanted to go out for private work, they would be punished by the kitchen door. Moreover, Xiao Ren's friend in the kitchen door happened to be the person in charge of a district, and he needed to agree to the local chefs.

Xiao Ren hung up the phone. Although he already knew the real price of the things he ate today, the price of this kind of thing still made Xiao Ren feel that it was a waste of money. After all, Xiao Ren did not think that Peng Bai was a super chef, and this wrong view led to Xiao Ren wanting to continue to ask questions to make things difficult for Peng Bai.

After Xiao Ren's problem this time, Peng Bai officially became an idol worshipped by the chefs of the canteen of Junwei Group, and the status of the kitchen boss was formed, and Peng Bai also successfully integrated into it.

When he first came here, Peng Bai was a little sad about the departure of the woman he loved deeply. Later, after thinking about it carefully, Peng Bai understood that Peng Bai was a smart person, and it was not that smart people could not be confused. After all, in the situation at that time, under that environment, Peng Bai was a saint and could not suppress the sadness in his heart. However, when Peng Bai thought about it carefully, he understood that it was a scene from three beautiful directors who tested him. The taste of blood on the clothes was obviously the blood of chickens and ducks. After all, Peng Bai had undergone this special training before and was able to distinguish the origin of the materials from the blood and smell, which was also to avoid confusing meat ingredients when cooking.

Knowing that this is the scene of the three female directors, Peng Bai also understood the feelings of the three females. There is no need to say much about Rou Rou and Qianqian. They would not care about how many women they had. Zhu Wanqing must have accepted Rou Rou and Qianqian because of this. Since that is the case, Peng Bai has nothing to worry about.
