Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

"Are these crab sticks so delicious?" The workers in line looked at Liu Yifan eating three servings of crab sticks at once, raised their eyebrows and looked puzzled.

When Liu Yifan saw that it was another acquaintance, he frowned and picked up a cigarette and put it into the mouth of the person who was speaking.

"You did... um... fuck!" The acquaintance stretched out his hand, ready to grab another one, but Liu Yifan anticipated it and dodged it with extreme sensitivity.

"Call it yourself!" Liu Yifan walked away. The acquaintance watched Liu Yifan walk further and further away, then looked at the nearby window, and suddenly became anxious.

The workers in the queue who took it directly all had crab sticks.

Liu Yifan carried a plate full of crab sticks and happily returned to the dining table not far away, where he had sat before.

"I gave you one to try just now, give me one back!" Zhou Yicheng, who was sitting next to him, had just finished eating when he saw Liu Yifan actually go and get another one. He stared at his food compartment full of crab sticks with shining eyes.

"Just one, no more!" Liu Yifan quickly protected the food grid after Zhou Yicheng picked up one, but Zhou Yicheng still took advantage of the gap and reached in with his chopsticks to pick up another one.

"Aren't you two ashamed of yourself? You're fighting over just one crab stick!" Wen Jie Ling, who came over, looked at the two useless co-workers with disdain.

"I just said, if it doesn't taste good, I am your son, and if it tastes good, you are my son!" Liu Yifan looked at Wen Jie Ling with even more disdain.

Wen Jie Ling sat down immediately and picked up a crab stick and put it into his mouth.

After chewing for two bites, he was stunned and stopped talking.

"Hehe, your father didn't lie to you, did he?" Liu Yifan laughed at Wen Jie Ling while eating.

Wen Jie Ling rolled his eyes at him without saying a word, and just buried his head in his food.

Zhou Yicheng reached his chopsticks into Wenjie's food grid and picked up a crab stick.

"What are you doing! You've finished the whole plate!" Wen Jie Ling stopped him with chopsticks, but Zhou Yicheng turned the chopsticks vertically and the two pairs of chopsticks started fighting on the spot.

"Aren't you two ashamed of yourself? You're fighting over just one crab stick!" Liu Yifan laughed triumphantly and repeated Wen Jie Ling's exact words.

Similar scenes happened repeatedly in the cafeteria, and people kept spreading the word. Soon, the workers who were still getting their meals all knew that the crab sticks were delicious today, and they all started shouting for more crab sticks.

Manager Li saw this scene and couldn't stop laughing.

"Let Xiao Zhao make more fried foods in the future. It seems that the workers will like them too." He instructed Secretary Fan.

He had just taken a photo of the dish and sent it to Wen Yulan, praising the fried crab sticks. Wen Yulan replied that fried food was Xiao Zhao's specialty.

In that case, let her do more frying, which will make use of her special skills.

"Okay, I'll go talk to her later." Secretary Fan nodded happily.

In the kitchen, Sun Dehai worked hard to stir-fry shredded potatoes. It was not a good thing if the workers were too picky. He seldom made this kind of stir-fried dish, but it was so popular the first time he made it. Almost every worker ordered it, and the waiter in front came to remind him to add more food.

Zhao Xiaojing was also cutting another basket of potatoes. She was even more impressed with Sun Dehai. The vegetarian dishes made by the great chef were so popular.

"Master Sun, can I help you blanch these shredded potatoes? You can use them directly later."

Zhao Xiaojing quickly cut the ingredients for two pots. She had just observed that Sun Dehai blanched the potatoes before stir-frying them, so she took the initiative to ask if she could help. This was a good opportunity to learn.

"That's fine. Boil some water first, then wash the potatoes in the basin twice more, washing them with water and removing the starch!"

Zhao Xiaojing immediately put the pot on the stove to boil water, and started to wash the shredded potatoes in a stainless steel basin. After changing the water mixed with white starch twice, the water became clear.

When the water has not yet boiled, soak the chopped dried chili segments in the water.

Seeing that Zhao Xiaojing was so sensible and hardworking, Sun Dehai began to like this girl.

"The purpose of washing with water is to prevent the starch on the surface of the potatoes from sticking to them. This way, the fried potatoes will have a fresher taste and will not be sticky. They will also not stick to the pan." Sun Dehai explained the tricks to Zhao Xiaojing while frying.

"When the water is boiling, add some white vinegar. This way, the potato shreds will be crisper and won't turn black. About 20 seconds is enough. Don't blanch for too long. When you see the potatoes are translucent, pick them up immediately."

Zhao Xiaojing suddenly understood and nodded seriously to take note. This time she found the reason why her stir-fried potato shreds performance was unstable.

When Sun Dehai finished frying the next pot and just put the side ingredients into the pot, the waiter in front started shouting at the kitchen door again.

"Master Zhao, the crab sticks are almost finished, please add another pot!"

Sun Dehai and Zhao Xiaojing looked at the lunch worker in surprise at the same time.

"Crab sticks! The crab sticks are gone, add another pot!" The waiter thought they didn't hear clearly, so he shouted again.

Although Zhao Xiaojing knew that the system's fried skewers recipe was very popular, she didn't expect that even though the dipping sauce was missing two special seasonings and it was the first day she came, it would still be so popular.

Besides, the crab sticks are semi-finished products used directly, not freshly made.

Zhao Xiaojing simply took out all the crab sticks in the freezer. There weren't many left, so she cleared out the stock and made fresh frying for the workers later.

Sun Dehai didn't expect that the food made by this little girl would be so popular. Generally speaking, the amount of food they make is fixed, and all dishes are enough to cook once. If they make more food, it is because they cook a big meat dish on the same day, and everyone will order more.

Today’s shredded potatoes are a surprise, but what about the crab sticks left over from cooking mixed vegetables?

Sun Dehai continued to fry the remaining two pots of shredded potatoes and had them brought to the front, then came over to watch Zhao Xiaojing make fried crab sticks.

He nodded secretly when he saw this. Apart from anything else, the batter was really good, a layer that was neither too thin nor too thick wrapped around the crab sticks, and it was golden and translucent when fried.

What's more, the proportion of the batter is just right. It's not too thin to be sticky, nor too thick to form a large lump.

"Master Sun, come and taste the saltiness." Zhao Xiaojing saw Sun Dehai standing nearby and watching. After frying the first batch, she filled a small bowl with seasoning and handed it to him.

Sun Dehai was curious about why this dish was sold out so quickly when it was served for the first time, so he took the bowl and started eating.

The crab sticks are coated with batter and are crispy and fragrant, just as imagined, with a sweet and slightly seafood flavor inside. The oil temperature is just right and the cooking time is just right, so it tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, all of which is the result of hard work.

The most addictive thing is the thin layer of sauce sprinkled on the skin. The spice is very special and the taste is great, but it seems that it will not taste so good if you dip it in other things. But every bite of it with crab sticks makes people full of fragrance.

It pairs well with crab sticks like French fries and ketchup. Eating them alone seems to be just burnt or sour, but when put together, it is an indescribable perfect match that makes people grateful to the person who discovered this way of eating.

Sun Dehai ate several of them in a row without realizing it and was truly amazed by the taste.

"Xiao Zhao, what kind of seasoning did you put on it? I've never tasted anything like it."

Zhao Xiaojing named seven or eight kinds of seasonings in the kitchen in a row, and Sun Dehai was stunned.

He also uses these seasonings frequently, but the usage has been fixed since the day he started learning cooking. Different seasonings are used for different dishes.

He never thought that these spices could be used so flexibly and taste like this after mixing. He also never thought that a little girl could use these spices so deeply and so skillfully.

The world outside is really changing day by day, and young people nowadays are so amazing.

Sun Dehai was in a complicated mood. Zhao Xiaojing taught him a lesson, which had an impact on his years of conservative career as a chef.

"Master Sun, how was the meal?" Zhao Xiaojing asked nervously when she saw Sun Dehai didn't say anything.

"It tastes great... Xiao Zhao, when you're free, tell me how you make fried crab sticks." Sun Dehai said solemnly.

"Okay, okay." Zhao Xiaojing was a little surprised. How come Master Sun suddenly became a different person?

She didn't know that Sun Dehai had been working in the canteen for half his life, working in school canteens, company canteens, and construction site canteens, and finally settled down at the current construction site. Because the working hours here are reasonable, the leaders are kind, and the salary and benefits are good, he signed a long-term contract and followed the construction site.

Over the years, he has been the head chef in every canteen he has worked in. He has never felt that he is doing a bad job, and people have always praised him and called him chef.

Over time, he always had a sense of pride. When he met a new sous chef, he would always show off and teach him out of habit. Others would also smile at him everywhere. He really felt that he was a big shot.

But today, he felt that he was outshined by a young girl who seemed to have just entered society. He felt mixed emotions and even began to doubt himself.

Sun Dehai took the bowl and walked to the side, staring at the remaining crab sticks for a long time.

After Zhao Xiaojing finished frying the remaining crab sticks, she came to Sun Dehai.

"Master Sun."

"Huh? Ah, Xiao Zhao, are you done with your work?" Sun Dehai came back to his senses.

"I'm done. Am I being too presumptuous to tell you about fried crab sticks?" Zhao Xiaojing asked, touching her face embarrassedly.

"No, no! If you ask me to make fried crab sticks as delicious as yours, I'll learn from you." Sun Dehai said hurriedly.

"Then let me tell you about this fried crab stick..."

Zhao Xiaojing described the frying process in detail, and Sun Dehai listened attentively.

When Secretary Fan walked in, he saw Zhao Xiaojing talking eloquently with gestures while Sun Dehai listened attentively.

Why is it different from what I imagined? Is the character setting reversed?

"Master Zhao."

After standing there and watching for a while, seeing that they seemed to have finished talking, Secretary Fan spoke, and the two of them turned to look at him at the same time.

"Ah, that's right. The fried crab sticks at noon were very good. I heard from the manager that fried food is your specialty?"

"...Yes, that's right." Zhao Xiaojing hesitated. What she and Wen Yulan originally said was that her only specialty was fried skewers, but it seemed that it was not wrong to put it another way?

"You are really young and promising! Manager Li asked me to tell you that since deep-frying is your specialty, you can make more deep-frying in the future. The workers like it very much."

"That's fine. I'm afraid the fryers will get tired of it."

This was exactly what Zhao Xiaojing wanted, as she really had no confidence in doing anything else.

"No, the workers are busy all day, so they are happy to eat something greasy. But I think mixed spinach is also good, very refreshing! Have you learned cooking?" Manager Fan said, and asked a few more questions out of curiosity.

"No, I just make it at home. I used to sell fried skewers at a stall." Zhao Xiaojing smiled embarrassedly.

When Sun Dehai and Secretary Fan heard this, they looked at each other and became even more surprised.

Secretary Fan was thinking that the person recommended by Manager Wen was indeed a man of character. With such skills and such a relationship with Manager Wen, he could have worked in any big hotel, and even set up a stall to sell fried skewers...

Sun Dehai was thinking, the fried skewers outside are all so good, is he really too closed...
