Chapter 184: Fried rice and soup show their special powers
The aroma of fried rice fills the air.
Four pots of fried rice are placed on the counter. The grains of rice are clearly defined and shiny. The beef fried rice is full of meat aroma, with a hint of hot pepper; the vegetable and chicken fried rice is bright in color, with a sour and salty aroma intertwined, making it particularly appetizing.
; Potato spicy fried rice is spicy and tangy, with golden potato shreds intertwined with green vegetables, which makes people appetite; while egg fried rice is classic golden yellow, with the aroma of egg and rice blending together, simple but attractive
appetite.
Everyone in the kitchen almost used all their rationality to prevent themselves from robbing the fried rice in front of everyone.
But the employees who were preparing meals outside the kitchen did not feel so good. They looked at the white rice in the lunch boxes in their hands, and then looked at the four plates of attractive colors on the countertop opposite the transparent glass window.
fried rice.
The white rice immediately lost its flavor when I got it and even before I tasted it in my mouth.
Xiangchuan didn't bother to care what the two groups of people inside and outside the kitchen were struggling with. She had just finished cooking four portions of rice and was now very tired.
She picked up the small spoon and bowl prepared nearby, scooped two spoonfuls of beef fried rice into the bowl, put it into her mouth and chewed it carefully, then took a sip of water and repeated the operation with the next portion of fried rice.
After tasting the fourth portion, she put down the bowl and said:
"Chef, follow what I just did and start processing the other rice. At the same time, be sure to reduce the amount of chili powder in the portion with potatoes by one-third."
[Beep——Yes, the command will be executed in ten minutes]
This response from the kitchen AI, which was devoid of any emotional ups and downs, seemed like the sound of nature to everyone in Grade 18 in the kitchen.
Xiangchuan had been working alone for so long. They thought they would have to wait at least half an hour before they could eat. They didn't expect the kitchen AI to be so efficient.
Liang Gong, who was clearing the dishes for Xiang Chuan, happened to be chatting with Xiang Chuan about this matter. Xiang Chuan pondered for a while, sorted out his thoughts according to his own understanding, and said:
"The main reason is that the rice used in fried rice has been cooked once. The only ingredients that really need to be processed before fried rice are potatoes and beef, so as long as they are cooked, the subsequent process of heating the rice will not cost too much.
time."
"From the perspective of ancient people, fried rice is all about convenience and speed. In the past, people did not have kitchen AI to assist when cooking, so they could only cook one dish at a time. Rice can be steamed in advance. But healthy meals
It usually starts with three dishes and one soup. From preparing the ingredients to putting the plate on the table, it takes at least five minutes, and some exquisite dishes take almost half an hour."
"In order to quickly consume staple foods and dishes, ancient people figured out many cooking methods that can consume dishes at the same time, such as fried rice, braised rice, steamed buns, noodles... Everyone also knows that enjoying food slowly is the most delicious.
, but not everyone has such sufficient time, let alone office workers."
Xiangchuan's eyes became a little distracted when he thought about the busy life when he was a 996 commune and could only order takeout every day.
At this time, the kitchen AI took out an empty lunch box and handed it to Xiangchuan. Xiangchuan decisively put four portions of fried rice into the four compartments of the lunch box, and decisively closed the lid of the lunch box under everyone's salivating eyes.
At this moment, the soup that Ouyang Yating and the others were responsible for came out of the pot. The three of them immediately scooped up a small bowl and handed it to Xiangchuan in unison.
When Xiangchuan saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched: Logically speaking, shouldn't the chef himself taste it first? Why did he stuff it all into me? Do you want me to test the poison?
It was Xiangchuan who came up with the idea of letting Ouyang Yating and the other two be responsible for cooking the soup. They learned a lot of basic frying and stewing techniques from Xiangchuan, but they rarely completed some stewing dishes on their own without Xiangchuan's guidance.
.
Perhaps because of the ingenious nature of modern people, the three of them are relatively comfortable with shaping operations such as making buns and decorating cakes. However, there seems to be an instinctive fear of fire when it comes to cooking food that requires heating.
Somewhat respectfully.
It took several days for Kagawa to get the three of them to fry a decent poached egg... Well, actually, it was mainly because he was afraid of being splashed with oil.
However, when making soup, you only need to pay attention to whether the water is boiling and whether the ingredients have been cooked. Apart from the steam when the pot is boiled, there are no other factors that would make modern teenagers stay away, so Ouyang Yating and the others did it relatively smoothly this time.
.
——Originally, the cooking method of vegetable soup from Xiangchuan has long been licensed to the public for free. The twenty or so people here must have witnessed the process of making vegetable soup by family members or kitchen AI, and are psychologically afraid of the unknown.
Naturally, it is much less expensive than other cooking methods.
If you can actually do it, you will be a genius.
Xiangchuan thought as he took the soup bowl handed over by Aino. There was only half a bowl of soup in the bowl, with golden egg blossoms and tomatoes floating on it, and the fresh aroma of eggs and tomatoes could be smelled. It looked like a qualified bowl.
Egg drop soup.
Just now, Xiangchuan had fried rice and tasted the saltiness. Even after drinking a few sips of purified water, her mouth was still a little dry. Now that there was a dish of egg drop soup in front of her that was delicious and delicious, of course she chose to drink it without hesitation.
Take it down.
Fortunately, Kagawa swallowed quickly, otherwise her brain would have spit out the soup the moment it received the taste feedback from her tongue.
Xiangchuan had a dark face, put down the bowl in his hand, looked at Aino, and said quietly:
"Member Aino, I dare to ask, did you put the wrong seasoning?"
Aino opened his eyes wide and replied with a surprised look:
"Ah? What? Isn't it sweet enough?"
Okay, Ganqing is a convicted criminal! Xiangchuan felt that veins were about to appear on her temples, she gritted her teeth and said:
"I remember I told you many times before: Don't put sugar in the soup unless it's for dessert. Did you forget?"
"How could I forget? I have a very good memory. I even remember that you were eating steak buns."
Aino said with his head held high, as if he was showing off his memory.
"Then why is this soup made sweet?"
"Huh? Isn't that what you said before? Some people like to eat tomato scrambled eggs sweet, and some people like to eat sweet, so I made a sweet version this time."
"I'm talking about it! Tomato scrambled eggs! Not egg drop tomato soup! Don't make this kind of thing to harm the tongues of modern teenagers!"
Xiangchuan angrily picked up the lid of the pot next to him, slammed it on the soup pot, and then turned to the kitchen AI and said: "Dispose of this pot of soup as discarded ingredients. Follow the steps he just took to cook a pot of soup again, and at the same time change the steps. Replace the sugar in it with salt."
Not to mention, after this period of practice, Ainuo's mastery of heat has improved. At least there are no strange lumps or burns in the egg drop soup. It is because of this that Xiangchuan is impressed by its appearance. Cheated.
Seeing the soup pot being taken away by the kitchen AI, Aino looked unhappy and complained: "Is it really so unpalatable? I see you usually enjoy eating cakes, don't you?"
"That's almost it. It's better not to harm the tomato and egg drop soup. If you really want to make sweet soup, I'll let you make sugary dessert another day."
Xiangchuan said harshly. Of course, she could only satisfy her cravings. It was not that she couldn't make soup, but peanuts, lotus seeds, taro, sweet potatoes...these common ingredients were missing, not even corn and glutinous rice. It was really difficult at the moment. Not a good time to push out the soup.
At least let’s wait until freedom of staple food and supplementary food is achieved.
With Aino's "Opening Lightning Strike", Kagawa's hands were shaking when he picked up Ryokyou's bowl of soup.
Fortunately, neither Liang Gong nor Ouyang Yating has such out-of-the-box thinking as Aino, and they both honestly chose the most down-to-earth cooking method.
Liang Gong made beef and radish soup, and he skimmed off the foam very thoughtfully. The soup was so clear that it even looked like a Western-style soup stock, but there was too much ginger. In addition to the sweetness and the aroma of beef, what hits the nose directly is the heat of ginger.
After asking, he learned that Liang Gong directly put four large pieces of ginger in. When he heard this amount, Kagawa thought that the child had some special hobby for ginger. It turned out that Liang Gong thought that with his own The technique may not be able to remove the fishy smell of beef very well. At the same time, Xianggawa said before that ginger can remove the fishy smell of raw meat, so he used it liberally.
For such a pot of soup, even two pieces would be too much. Four pieces might not be too spicy. Kagawa decisively called up the kitchen AI again to adjust the recipe for beef and radish soup.
However, she did not throw away the pot Liang Gong made. Considering that this production escort ship is in autumn now, there will definitely be some cool breeze blowing at night. This pot of beef, radish and ginger soup can be given to girls who are afraid of the cold to keep warm. Stomach.
Compared to the first two, Ouyang Yating's vegetable soup looks so simple and normal, but the taste is a bit too bland - there is less salt.
After eating a small bowl of Xiangchuan, I immediately dreamed back to the high school campus. The vegetable soup in the big pot in the school cafeteria always tasted like vegetables and couldn't taste the slightest saltiness.
Although fried rice is high in oil and salt, it is appropriate to have a bowl of vegetable soup with lower salt content to match it, but high school teenagers are a group of creatures who like strong flavors, and such a light and healthy soup will definitely be despised by them.
When Xianggawa finished arranging the soup, the kitchen AI also began to make fried rice according to the recipe and pre-set portions.
Xiangchuan's own portion had been packed long ago, so he had no reason to stay in the kitchen anymore, so he slipped out directly, followed closely by everyone in Class 18.
However, after leaving the kitchen, Xiangchuan went straight to his seat, while members of the Tongue Club, including Ouyang Yating and the other three, were waiting at the cooking window with Grade 18 and Grade 18 to wait for the fried rice to come out of the pot.
The seats had been arranged in advance by Manager Wu. He had long expected that tonight's meal would be overcrowded, so he designated an open space outside the cafeteria in advance and requisitioned it as a dining area for the first-year students of the Agricultural University Affiliated High School.
If we were in the 21st century, we might be worried about whether there would be mosquitoes, snakes, rats, etc. in this kind of seat next to the farmland. However, it is now 30,000 years later. The relevant departments have very strict control over the distribution of organisms. It is estimated that
You can't even find fungi that can grow mushrooms in the entire production escort, let alone small animals and insects.
To be honest, this place is quite suitable for those young men and women in the 21st century who yearn for pastoral life, but also have a love for the real rural fields. Xiangchuan slowly drank the beef, radish and ginger soup, thinking to himself.
