Taking advantage of Sun Qingning's skill in deep-frying at, Fu Yu first started to make honey-glazed crispy shrimp.
This dish wasn't particularly difficult; Fu Yu had made it before.
At the ti, Zhao ng had even specifically guided him through it.
But since then, he hadn't had any custors who specifically ordered this dish, so he hadn't had the chance to practice it repeatedly.
Zhao ng, feeling uneasy, focused on his own tasks while keeping an eye on Fu Yu's operations.
anwhile, at the restaurant front, a server received news that there were custors who had placed orders yesterday and were coming in to dine again.
A waitress led them to a private room on the other side.
The server reported to the supervisor, "Sister Gao, Chef Zhao just asked to relay a ssage. He wants us to communicate with the custors who made the orders to see if they could co another day because the kitchen is really too busy right now."
Upon hearing this, Gao Wenjing imdiately beca anxious, "How could that be possible! Look at the ti now! Even if the custors hadn't arrived yet, they're probably on their way already."
The server quickly added, "That's exactly what I told Chef Zhao..."
Gao Wenjing hurried to the back kitchen.
As she entered, she saw everyone in the kitchen busy with their tasks.
Zhao ng, in particular, was working side by side with Fu Yu, both stoves firing at once.
She approached Zhao ng's station and whispered, "Chef Zhao, Xiaowang just told you want to postpone so orders? What's happening?"
Zhao ng sighed helplessly, "I'm really swamped here. Having a lot of orders is usually a good thing, but the problem is, they all ca at once! Just look at how busy it is!"
Hearing Zhao ng's tone, Gao Wenjing did not persist in suggesting the postponent, feeling relieved. She consoled, "Right now, we've only just started, and it's just a coincidence that two tables ca at the sa ti. For the few that haven't arrived later, maybe things will spread out a bit by then. Besides, I see Chef Fu is already able to team up with you? If you both pick up the pace, it should be manageable."
Zhao ng beca anxious upon hearing this, "Another table? Which one?"
Gao Wenjing said, "Table 117, the one with twelve dishes."
Zhao ng quickly grabbed the order slip, lowered his head, and saw that it was filled with stir-fried dishes.
It was impossible to handle all this work simultaneously. The main reason was his excellent skill in stir-frying; custors who enjoyed it once would always rember it for their next visit.
anwhile, Fu Yu had just finished another dish, placed it on a plate, and handed it to the food runner.
He turned to Zhao ng and said, "Chef Zhao, isn't there a fresh jellyfish soup for this table? I know how to make it, let handle it!"
Zhao ng did not stand on ceremony; the jellyfish soup was not difficult. As long as the seasoning proportions were right, the soup would turn out delicious no matter how it was cooked.
"And any dishes that need glazing, just give them to , I'll do them quickly!"
Zhao ng rolled his eyes and tore off a few strips from the order, sticking them on the wall in front of himself, while handing the rest to Fu Yu.
He couldn't be bothered to counter Fu Yu's boasting.
Watching this, Gao Wenjing widened her eyes in surprise.
Was Fu Yu really this good?
And not only was he faster than Zhao ng, but he also picked the dishes to work on first.
This kind of privilege was usually reserved only for the head chef, wasn't it?
Looking at the current situation, it seed like Fu Yu was the head chef and Zhao ng was assisting him!
When she looked at Fu Yu again, her gaze was different.
Fu Yu prepared to make the fresh jellyfish soup first.
In the midsumr, fresh jellyfish soup needed to be refrigerated before being served.
This soup was quick and easy to make, with no difficulty.
Sun Qingning skillfully scooped out the jellyfish, drained it, and placed it on a plate.
He often did this work.
During the hot weather, jellyfish dishes were ordered frequently.
Especially those custors who loved spicy stir-fried flavors, they almost always order a refreshing jellyfish soup to cool the palate.
With a mouthful of the soup, it was as though the coolness of the jellyfish cald the heat of the stomach.
However, throughout the shift, Sun Qingning felt anxious and short of breath, with inexplicable restlessness.
Having to handle six large-table orders in one evening was enough to make even Zhao ng falter and consider pushing back orders; for a junior cook like him, it was frankly intimidating.
After all, cooking is unlike other jobs where if you're late, it's no big deal as long as the work is completed eventually.
Custors co to dine, and if you're slow, they start urging for their orders.
Not a single mont can be wasted.
As Sun Qingning handed the plate of fresh jellyfish to Fu Yu, he felt a bit worried.
Taking a deep breath, how did it feel like the kitchen was especially stuffy today, with even the air seeming thin!
Seeing this, Fu Yu smiled and said, "Chef Sun, don't worry! I'll prepare an extra helping of jellyfish soup later for us to enjoy as a late-night snack; you can take it and chill it whenever you get a chance."
Sun Qingning's eyes lit up at the thought of having jellyfish soup!
Alright then, no matter what, Zhao ng would still be there to fall back on!
As a probationary cook, a bit of panic was only to be expected!
Sun Qingning adjusted his state and quietly encouraged, "Chef Fu, keep it up!"
Jellyfish was cut into strips, washed again, soaked, and then drained.
Garlic was mashed into a paste, with a pinch of salt, vinegar, and so secret chicken essence added to create a dressing.
Parsley was chopped finely.
The jellyfish strips were mixed with the dressing, parsley, roasted sesa seeds, and sesa oil.
After mixing well, Fu Yu entrusted two large glass bowls of fresh jellyfish soup to Sun Qingning to chill.
He then proceeded to cook the osmanthus-glazed crispy shrimp.
Qianlima always maintained strict standards when it ca to ingredients.
The sea shrimp had tender at and excellent texture.
Thus, sea shrimp was usually chosen for crispy shrimp dishes.
Fu Yu selected six large sea shrimp from the prepared ingredients bowl.
[Sea Shrimp: Freshness: 90%]
[One shrimp with a greenish, translucent shell, tightly connected head and body, half-year maturity, 100%]
...
As Fu Yu picked up the sea shrimp, information suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Sea shrimp is rich in nutrients, delicious, and can be used for food or dicine. It tastes sweet, salty, and is slightly warm in nature. It can tonify the kidneys, enhance yang, and benefit the spleen and stomach. People with chronic conditions, or those currently experiencing excessive internal heat, should not eat shrimp. Elderly individuals with allergic rhinitis, bronchitis, or recurring allergic dermatitis should avoid eating shrimp...]
Fu Yu gradually realized that ever since he acquired the exhaustive food compatibility table, the feedback he received about ingredient information beca increasingly detailed and comprehensive.
Fu Yu placed the sea shrimp into a large bowl and said to Sun Qingning, "Bring a bottle of shrimp marinating sauce."
Sun Qingning fetched the shrimp marinating sauce, "Chef Fu, do you think you could show how much to use, and I'll handle the marinating?"
Sun Qingning was indeed in a hurry; the shrimp marinating wasn't difficult — it just took up ti.
There were still four tables of guests not yet arrived, and if they picked up the pace now, they could save ti later on.
Fu Yu nodded, uncapped the shrimp marinating sauce bottle, scooped out two-thirds of a spoonful, and poured it into the large bowl, watching as the prompt dialog box stood straight above the bowl, he hurriedly scooped a bit back.
In the midst of this motion, his finger accidentally brushed against the rim of the bottle, picking up a bit of shrimp marinade.
Imdiately, a series of prompt dialog boxes popped up in front of him.
[80 grams of cornstarch]
[20 grams of salt]
[100 ml of onion ginger water]
[25 grams of pepper]
...
Fu Yu: "!"
Amazing!
