Li Youran was stunned for a long time, thinking carefully about the matter of field No. 4. Why is there such a big gap between the same land in space?
Otherwise, field No. 4 is not suitable for growing Chinese cabbage and is suitable for other varieties? You will not give yourself a useless wasteland. (_《》)
Thinking of this, he entered the space again, picked up a shovel, and turned over a small piece of land next to the test cabbage in field No. 4. The soil turned over did not look unusual, and even the moisture content was not low.
He then carefully broke up the soil clods, then sown four or five vegetable seeds such as rapeseed, leeks, and radishes into the clods, and asked Ang Ang to pour water on them.
After everything was taken care of, he returned to the bedroom. All he had to do now was wait for the newly planted vegetables to come out before making plans. It was useless to think too much at the moment.
Li Youran shook his head, driving away the unhappiness and disappointment in his heart.
Taking a step back and thinking, in fact, even if you prepare for the worst, even if field No. 4 is a piece of waste land, it is not a big deal. It is just missing a surprise. The first three good fields are already a great gift from God.
Gifts, what else can you not be satisfied with?
Thinking of this, he felt much calmer, so he put the matter aside for the time being and went out to the third floor to watch a movie with Fatty Luo and the others.
The five of them stayed at Mingcui Villa for two days and did not return to the city for work until Monday morning.
In the morning, a young woman who claimed to be a teacher at Tianhai University came to the bun shop and asked for Boss Xiao Li by name.
Li Youran received her in the office on the second floor. The visitor said that his surname was Tian and he was a colleague of Ling Wanru. He was going to Australia in a few days. I heard that boss Li had something to bring, so he came here to pick it up today.
Hearing this, Li Youran quickly opened the drawer of his desk. With a thought, he took out two small tea tubes from the shelf and pretended to take them out of the drawer.
"This is the tea I want to bring to Wanru, please excuse me." He put the tea into a plastic belt and handed it to Teacher Tian.
Teacher Tian looked Li Youran up and down a few times, his eyes full of meaning.
She took the bag, said a few more polite words, then said she still had things to do, declined the other party's offer to invite her to tea, and left.
Li Youran personally saw her off.
It seems that Cuifeng tea is not enough, so I might as well not plant anything else in the remaining area of field No. 3. Then I will plant tea trees by pruning and cuttings. This thing seems to be quite practical and popular at the moment.
According to the work arrangement, the ramen development project of Baozipu was officially launched.
After the training of Chef Chen Chuanzhong and the hard work of the trainees, these currently trained steamed bun masters have passed the test on their ramen-making skills. What they lack is just practical experience. Generally speaking, it is not a problem.
The next step is the most critical soup preparation.
In the kitchen of Nandian, a small area has been set aside for making soup.
Chef Chen and Uncle Qi, plus two selected and reliable kitchen chefs, form a core group of four. Apart from this, other personnel are not allowed to participate or observe.
Li Youran got the news and was very concerned. After all, this is an important project and will also be one of the store's flagship products in the future.
A few days ago, two kinds of steamed buns, cowpea minced meat and loofah minced pork, plus two other kinds of steamed buns with vegan fillings, have been officially put into sales and operation as new products.
Because the styles of the buns are very different from the previous three kinds of fillings, they are even more popular and loved by customers. They say that now they have more choices and the flavors can be changed frequently, so you will never get tired of eating them.
In particular, steamed buns with loofah filling and steamed buns with vegetarian filling are more popular among female customers, because it is said that loofah has beautifying effects, while vegetarian filling is good for keeping in shape.
With seven kinds of steamed buns, spicy cold noodles, and the upcoming beef ramen, the steamed bun shop that has always been monotonous can finally say goodbye to its shortcomings and form a food system with rich varieties and delicious flavors.
Li Youran came to the kitchen to see the progress of this work.
In the kitchen, Chef Chen is instructing the waiter to cook beef. The water in the large aluminum pot is boiling, and the waiter skims off the foam with a long-handled spoon.
When Chef Chen saw Boss Xiao Li coming, he nodded to him and introduced the current situation to him.
The beef is high-grade grassland yellow beef specially purchased by the logistics department. It is red in color and fresh and tender in texture. After inspection by Chef Chen, it is basically satisfactory.
"After I buy the beef, I cut it into ten-pound pieces, soak it for four hours, and then cook it with the meat and bones in the pot," Chef Chen said.
"Then why use this aluminum pot? Don't we have stainless steel pots here?" Li Youran looked at the somewhat old aluminum pot and asked puzzledly.
"You must use an aluminum pot to cook beef. The color of the cooked meat will be nice and the soup will be clear. When cooked in an iron pot, the broth will turn black and look unsightly." Chef Chen shook his head and explained.
"Oh, so that's what happened." Li Youran finally understood.
Then, Chef Chen told him that in order to cook beef soup, more than a dozen kinds of seasonings were prepared, including peppercorns, grass fruits, dried ginger, amomum villosum, bay leaves, galangal, cinnamon, daxiang, fresh ginger, green onions, etc.
Wait until the beef is cooked, take it out, and continue to simmer the soup over low heat. It will take about four hours in total.
In addition, we also prepared special oily chili seeds, bright red and shiny, with a small amount of the special Chaotian pepper provided by Li Youran last time.
Li Youran's appetite increased after hearing this, but it was still early, so he could only endure it for now. Since Xiaoying had classes, she wouldn't go back tonight, so she just waited for the beef noodles to be cooked and had it for dinner.
As a result, I kept thinking about this ramen all afternoon. Although I have eaten a lot of various delicacies since I got the space, new flavors are always exciting. Look at those gourmets in society, who are known as
You have to taste delicious food all over the world in your life, and there is never too much.
Fortunately, as the boss, no one can accuse him of not being attentive to his work.
So in anticipation, this historic moment finally came, and Youran Farm Beef Ramen was freshly cooked.
But at this time, other managers in the store were busy, and Sun Xiaoying had gone somewhere. Even Chef Chen, after handing over the rest of the work to the waiters, returned to the private restaurant to do the work there.
.
In this way, the only person who can share the first batch of Farm Ramen with Boss Xiao Li is Comrade Qi Shu, the leader of the development team.
According to Boss Xiao Li's request, Uncle Qi and his waiters put two steaming large blue and white bowls and several other side dishes on a tray, took them to the boss's office, and placed them on the coffee table.
Li Youran looked at the large blue and white bowl in front of him, smelling the overflowing aroma, and couldn't help but feel greedy.
The ramen in the bowl is flat and wide, even and delicate. On top are radish slices, beef slices, coriander and garlic sprouts, as well as oil-splashed chili peppers. The combination of various ingredients is visually rich and exquisite in shape. Just look at the appearance.
It's already top-notch.
Chef Chen had already told him that high-quality beef ramen has five characteristics: "one clear, two white, three red, four green, and five yellow". That is, the beef soup is fresh and fragrant; the radish slices are white and pure; the chili oil is bright red and floating;
The coriander and garlic sprouts are fresh and green; the noodles are smooth and yellow.
The bowl of ramen in front of me fully meets the above requirements, and even goes beyond it.
Beef ramen is not a special food. It can be found everywhere in the streets and alleys of the city. Li Youran has eaten a lot of it himself, but in terms of appearance alone, no ramen has reached the level he is looking at.
"Ranzi, you need to add some balsamic vinegar to the noodles, it will taste better." Uncle Qi sat next to him and pushed a small pot of balsamic vinegar in front of him.
Li Youran nodded, poured a splash of balsamic vinegar into the noodles as instructed, and mixed it evenly with chopsticks.
Before eating noodles, drink soup first. Good soup is the decisive factor that determines the success of a bowl of noodles.
He didn't pay any attention to anything. He picked up the big bowl with both hands, brought the rim of the bowl to his mouth and took a big sip.
Instantly, a stream of hot, spicy, sour and delicious liquid spreads in the mouth, layer by layer, like waves, washing and stimulating the taste nerves, and then, without the control of human will, it flows towards the throat.
It rushes forward and spreads throughout the body quickly.
"Good soup!" Li Youran praised it loudly after the fresh soup entered his throat.
Although the soup is gone, the aroma is still lingering in the mouth, lingering on the cheeks and teeth.
Then I tasted the noodles. The flat and wide ramen noodles seemed to have life after entering the mouth. They were constantly beating and bouncing on the surface of the teeth. The noodles were so chewy.
It was definitely top-quality ramen. Li Youran stopped tasting it carefully, drank soup and noodles, and started to greet her with big mouthfuls.
There were beads of sweat on my forehead, so I wiped it with a tissue and continued eating.
In just a few minutes, the whole bowl of noodles was in his stomach, and he drank all the hot and sour soup.
"It's so enjoyable!" He sighed with a deep breath.
Uncle Qi over there was also like him, and the battle was over in just a few minutes.
"This is the first time I have tasted such delicious noodles. The soup is delicious and the noodles are chewy. It's great." Uncle Qi also wiped his sweat with a tissue and was full of praise.
Li Youran thought about it for a long time without saying anything.
Space stream water, space radish and some seasonings, premium beef, beef bones, noodles kneaded by the stream water, plus Chef Chen's recipe and craftsmanship, it is normal for so many factors to be combined to create a bowl of top-notch ramen
.
It’s no wonder that beef ramen like this is not popular once it is launched.
"Uncle Qi, if Chef Chen lets go and the kitchen makes farm ramen in batches, do you think it can reach the level of the bowl in front of you?" He asked Uncle Qi.
"There is definitely no problem between 80% and 90%. The recipe for making these soups has been determined. The guys just follow the process and it won't be much different. At most, it's the noodles themselves. Of course these ramen chefs can't compare to Chen Da
My cooking skills have improved." Uncle Qi thought about it for a moment and answered in a positive tone.
"Okay, eight or nine achievements are enough." Li Youran nodded.
Next, he and Uncle Qi discussed the specific pricing of farm ramen, because after all, it is for public consumption and should not be too expensive. Finally, they decided on a large bowl of noodles for 20 yuan a bowl and a medium bowl of noodles for 15 yuan. These two choices were enough.
Yes.
Therefore, the official launch of farm ramen was put on a specific schedule.
