It's freezing cold, but hot soup can relieve your worries.
Today it was Zhao Meng's turn to start the morning shift. Fu Yu got up early to prepare breakfast for everyone in the kitchen.
Buyer Sun Wei brought back some fat and tender crucian carp, and Fu Yu planned to make a pot of fish soup and add some tender tofu to warm everyone up.
"Brother Sun, come over and eat together later!" Fu Yu greeted warmly.
Sun Wei has always been a good person. When he makes purchases, suppliers often take the initiative to send him food and drinks.
His wife and daughter are not at home, and he has only one brother. He can't consume much food, so he often distributes the things he receives to his colleagues in the store.
The kitchen often receives various ingredients from him.
Although the store will serve meals, and the kitchen is even more convenient, you can cook whatever you want, but there are some restrictions on the selection of ingredients.
No one can eat those expensive fresh seafood. Occasionally, if a customer orders an uneaten dish, it is considered an extra dish.
Most of the time, I just taste the leftovers from cooking, just to satisfy my cravings.
Therefore, people like Sun Wei would send various seafood and rare ingredients to the kitchen from time to time, which was still very rare to everyone.
After all, he is short-tongued. Sun Wei has always been popular in the restaurant. The chef often calls Sun Wei to come over and have dinner together.
Upon hearing Fu Yu's invitation, Sun Wei responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll follow Panku first and come over for dinner later."
After Sun Wei left, Fu Yu began to handle the crucian carp quickly.
He had just started cooking pot when Liu Yuqing and Jiang Mo came to the kitchen together.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Yuqing walked closer and glanced at the kitchen counter.
"Brother Sun just gave me some crucian carp, and I plan to make some crucian carp soup." Fu Yu said with a smile.
Hearing that the crucian carp was given by Sun Wei, Liu Yuqing hurriedly said: "Today is Brother Sun's birthday. Do you know this?"
Fu Yu was stunned: "I don't know, he didn't say anything. Since it's his birthday, I'll give him a bowl of longevity noodles."
At this time, Jiang Mo hurriedly said: "Fu Chu, Brother Sun's family is from the Xian tribe. On birthdays, we don't eat longevity noodles like us, but drink kelp soup."
"Kelp soup?" Fu Yu was a little surprised.
In his concept, celebrating birthdays means eating longevity noodles.
As for seaweed soup, isn’t that a Korean habit?
Jiang Mo explained: "I took Brother Sun's car to come to the store this morning, and his daughter mentioned this when she called from South Korea."
Fu Yu was stunned. Sun Wei's daughter is in South Korea?
Jiang Mo said: "Fu Chu, could you please make a bowl of seaweed soup for Brother Sun? I usually take Brother Sun's car to work, and I have always been very grateful to him. Today happens to be his birthday, so I thought I could give it to him. It was a surprise for him.”
The next second, an electronic prompt sounded in Fu Yu's ears:
【Ding! NPC front desk clerk Jiang Mo's mission: to make a bowl of kelp soup that makes Sun Wei cry. Mission completion reward: detailed cooking instructions for some soups]
Part of the soup?
Even though he had personally experienced the system's obviously increasingly censorious reward distribution behavior, Fu Yu still wanted to complain about this mission reward.
Detailed instructions on how to cook soup must be given out little by little. Is it because you are afraid that there are too many unique skills that he will not be able to learn?
However, even if no tasks were issued, since he knew that today was Sun Wei's birthday, he would definitely be willing to do something for Sun Wei.
But this seaweed soup should be a multinational version.
I wonder if the cooking methods in the classic old-flavor recipes will be different.
Moreover, the task required him to make a bowl of kelp soup that would move Sun Wei to tears.
It seems quite difficult!
Let’s not talk about how it tastes. How touching is this to make a tough guy cry?
How about adding more pepper to the soup later?
Choking up tears is considered crying, right?
Fu Yu himself was speechless as he thought together.
Forget it, just take it one step at a time.
Anyway, besides the classic old flavor recipes, he has no other place to refer to.
Moreover, Bangzi people always like to plagiarize tirelessly. Maybe kelp soup is also inherited from China?
After all, Korea used to be called Goguryeo, and it was a vassal state of China. It was just an urban-rural fringe area. How could it have any local culture?
Thinking this way, Fu Yu's confidence doubled.
Fu Yu looked at Jiang Mo, who was looking at him expectantly, and readily agreed: "Okay, but I've never made kelp soup before. Let's give it a try."
Jiang Mo was immediately overjoyed: "That's great! Thank you Fu Chu! Fu Chu, your cooking skills are so good, no matter what you cook, it will be delicious!"
Liu Yuqing glanced at the little licking dog Jiang Mo, and said not to be outdone: "That's right, Fu Yu, your cooking skills are so good, but just making seaweed soup, you will definitely make Brother Sun cry!"
Fu Yu was so flattered by the compliments from the two little fans that he laughed and said, "Okay, I'll try my best!"
It was still early, and while Fu Yu was cooking, Liu Yuqing and Jiang Mo were watching him busy.
While washing the kelp, Fu Yu quickly searched for classic recipes.
The cooking instructions for kelp soup are quite detailed.
Fu Yu reproduced it as it was.
Wash the kelp, drain the water, and cut into long sections. Wipe the beef with cotton cloth and cut into slices.
Put the cut kelp into a bowl, add half a spoonful of soy sauce and mix it.
Heat a small amount of oil in the pan.
Because you are making soup, the amount of oil needs to be controlled.
After the oil is hot, add the sliced meat and garlic slices, add half a spoon of soy sauce, and stir-fry over medium heat.
If the beef is overcooked, it will affect the taste, so the time must be mastered.
Add the pickled kelp and continue frying.
A small amount of water needs to be added halfway.
When adding water, you cannot fill it up at once. You need to add 1/3 bowl of water first, and then pour 3 bowls of water into it.
Add salt and MSG to adjust the saltiness.
Finally, cover the pot and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, then turn to low heat and cook for another 15 minutes.
A delicious flavor fills the soup pot.
Fu Yu had never tasted kelp soup, so he didn't know whether the taste of this bowl of soup could impress Sun Wei.
While making kelp soup, Fu Yu took the time to start making crucian carp soup.
Liu Yuqing sniffed: "It smells so good!"
Fu Yu smiled slightly: "Have you had breakfast? Let's eat some together. I'm going to make crucian carp tofu soup with rice and the shrimp paste that Chef Zhao steamed yesterday."
Liu Yuqing and Jiang Mo's eyes lit up when they heard that there was also steamed shrimp paste.
Zhao Meng’s secret steamed shrimp paste is one of a kind.
Obviously they all have the same ingredients and the same cooking method, but the shrimp paste he steams tastes more delicious than what others make.
In fact, there was a trick to this, and Fu Yu knew it, but he never showed it.
After all, this is Zhao Meng's unique skill. If others could do it, it wouldn't be called a secret skill.
Fu Yu paid great attention to this aspect.
When the kelp soup is almost ready, the crucian carp soup has turned milky white.
Fu Yu held the soft tofu in his palm, cut it into small pieces, and put it into the soup pot.
Slice green onions and fresh ginger and add to prepared soup bowl.
Because there were many people eating in the morning, Fu Yu stewed several crucian carps. The large pot of fish soup was enough to fill two large soup bowls.
Although Jiang Mo has been working in a restaurant, he really knows nothing about cooking.
Seeing that the crucian carp soup was thick and white and very appetizing, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Fu Chu, you haven't stewed it for long, why is the fish soup so white? My mother has stewed fish soup before. It’s not this color, it’s too different. Is there any trick?”
Fu Yu checked the cooking status of the kelp soup, and when he saw that it was almost done, he turned off the fire.
"If you want to boil crucian carp soup into a milky white color, you only need to add boiling water to stew it after frying. At this time, only by adding boiling water to cook the crucian carp, the fish soup will be thick and white. If you add cold water, the color of the fish soup will not be so beautiful. ”
"So that's it, Fu Chu, you are really amazing!" Jiang Mo has always admired Fu Yu very much, and when he blew the rainbow fart, he felt no pressure at all.
After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh to Liu Yuqing: "Xiaoqing, you are so lucky to have found such a good, outstanding, and perfect boyfriend as Fu Chu! If it weren't for the fact that you are my best friend and you look so good, You are beautiful and have such a good personality, I can’t help but want to hate you!”
Liu Yuqing: "..."
Even her real girlfriend couldn't help but lament that Jiang Mo was such a fan of Du Yu!
The admiration and love Jiang Mo has for Yu are almost overwhelming, but her behavior makes Liu Yuqing feel very happy instead of feeling any anger at all.
Fu Yu could hear a cold sweat next to him. Until the end, he saw Jiang Mo not only complimenting himself, but also cleverly praised Liu Yuqing.
Fu Yu couldn't help but give Jiang Mo 32 thumbs up for his emotional intelligence. Liu Yuqing would definitely fall for this.
Sure enough, Liu Yuqing's face was filled with pride, and her eyes looking at Fu Yu showed indifference and tenderness.
At this time, Sun Wei and Liu Junrong came back from taking inventory.
As soon as they walked into the kitchen, they both exclaimed in unison: "Young! What kind of delicious food is this? It smells so good!"
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Liu Junrong was one of the few workers who joined the same batch and got along well because of his good talent, good eye and good command of things.
I usually have a very harmonious relationship with everyone in the kitchen. When I met Fu Yu, he came over very affectionately and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Chef Fu! It turned out to be stewed crucian carp and tofu soup! It's great, it happened to be done just now." , I’m freezing, now I can drink a bowl of hot fish soup, it’s like a god and I won’t change it!”
"Fu Chu is mighty! Fu Chu is awesome!"
After a series of flattery, Liu Junrong's sharp eyes were the first to spot the kelp soup that had not yet been filled in the pot.
"Huh? What is this? Seaweed soup?"
There is no local habit of eating kelp soup in Bei'an, so I was surprised to see it.
While the two were talking, Sun Wei also came over.
Fu Yu looked at Sun Wei with a smile and said, "Brother Sun, happy birthday! If Jiang Mo hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that today was your birthday."
Sun Wei just heard Liu Junrong talking about kelp soup, and he didn't react for a while.
Now that I received Fu Yu's blessing, I realized that everyone already knew that today was his birthday.
Sun Wei had no intention of telling anyone else about Sun Wei's birthday today.
He's quite a grown man, so he doesn't really care if he doesn't celebrate his birthday.
Especially when family members are not around, there is no point in surviving.
Sun Wei didn't plan to celebrate his birthday at all, so he didn't make any plans about it.
He really didn't expect that Jiang Mo would come to the kitchen to tell Fu Yu about this.
What's more, he didn't expect that Fu Yu would specially cook a bowl of kelp soup for him.
It just happened to cook up a big bowl, and there wasn't even an extra serving. It was just for him.
Fu Yu brought the hot kelp soup to Sun Wei and said with a smile: "I heard from Jiang Mo that you only drank kelp soup on your birthday, so I didn't make longevity noodles for you."
Fu Yu poured out the crucian carp and tofu soup from the large bowl, and poured out several bowls of rice.
Several people lay directly on the serving table, drinking soup and eating in front of each other.
Fu Yu handed the spoon to Sun Wei: "Brother Sun, can you try the taste of this kelp soup? I've never made it before, and I don't know if it suits your taste."
Sun Wei looked at the large bowl of kelp soup in front of him, feeling a little shocked and uncomfortable. His hand holding the spoon was slightly harder, and his face turned red with excitement: "Okay, I will taste it now!"
Sun Wei is from the Xian ethnic group, but his wife is Korean. The two met and fell in love when Sun Wei went to South Korea to visit relatives.
Later, Sun Wei returned to China to work, and his wife followed him.
In fact, the living habits of Sun Wei's family have long been Chineseized, but his wife grew up in South Korea, and many habits cannot be changed at all.
For example, on birthdays, I cook seaweed soup for my family.
Normally, Sun Wei would feel warm after seeing such a bowl of kelp soup, but now, he felt very moved.
Although he didn't care much about his birthday, being remembered by others was a very easy thing to do.
Sun Wei picked up the spoon, took a mouthful of hot kelp soup and put it into his mouth. The rich and delicious taste was in his mouth.
The taste of kelp is very unique. It is very delicious when it is cooked. Fu Yu's craftsmanship is really good. It is obviously an ordinary bowl of kelp soup, but it is so delicious.
The kelp tastes very soft, the beef is especially soft when chewed, and the heat is just right.
I was really freezing when I took inventory just now. Now I took a sip of warm seaweed soup and felt a wave of heat surging through my body.
Sun Wei is an old buyer. He usually deals with various vendors and small bosses, and he has good communication skills. He is also used to seeing the warmth and warmth of people. Not to mention that he has become an ironclad in the workplace, which is almost the same.
It is not easy to impress him.
But no matter how sophisticated and smooth you are, you can't really become a piece of iron.
This type of person has a strong sense of prevention and is not easy to talk to others, but the more he is like this, his heart is actually very fragile. If you peel off that layer of skin, there are weaknesses and weaknesses everywhere inside.
Sun Wei took a sip of kelp soup, raised his head, and saw Fu Yu looking at him expectantly.
So he said sincerely: "It tastes great, thank you, Xiao Fu!"
"Brother Sun, I wish you a happy birthday!" Jiang Mo took the lead in shouting.
Liu Junrong was like a spirit. Seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, he joined in the cheers and sang a happy birthday song.
