Gourmet: Midnight Vending-Chapter 370 - 344: Press the Advantage, Phoenix Tail Shrimp at the Stall!

Chapter 370: Chapter 344: Press the Advantage, Phoenix Tail Shrimp at the Stall!

After boiling, the Three-Piece components were simmered on medium heat until the diced meat was fully cooked, then the heat was turned up to quickly thicken the broth in the pot.

And then...

Chen Mo followed the proportions he understood from making it the previous day, and threw in several pieces of pigskin consecutively, retrieving the stored pigskin jelly directly from the cupboard.

Even though he knew he could use this feature now, Chen Mo couldn’t help but feel genuinely appreciative when he took out the pigskin jelly.

"It’s really so convenient."

The pigskin jelly was thrown into the pot all at once, which was different from the traditional way of making the soup dumplings. The slightly soy-tinted pigskin jelly quickly melted under high temperature, but since there wasn’t much water in the pot, the melted pigskin jelly looked more like a flowing gelatinous substance.

Using the black spoon, Chen Mo quickly mixed the ingredients in the pot with the jelly until evenly distributed, then turned off the heat. He transformed the black pot into a square shape, and sent the ingredients inside it into the cupboard for quick cooling.

Then, Chen Mo scooped a bowl of A-grade flour from the kitchen machine.

"So, in the future, you just have to pour flour into the inlet to get dough of corresponding quality."

"I’ll have to pre-prepare and store a few kinds of doughs!"

Things like knife-cut noodle dough, hand-rolled noodle dough, and bun dough, etc., as long as they’re prepared and stored in advance, you can get the corresponding dough when you want by pouring flour into the inlet.

Such great storage functionality!

Chen Mo wasn’t busy, and while making dough, he was fixated on the progress bar in the void, making sure that since he planned to archive, every detail must reach perfect standards.

A moment later.

"Save!"

Seeing the number of archives increase in the system panel, he couldn’t help feeling a bit delighted.

Then he retrieved the cooled black pot, and the pigskin jelly inside had solidified once more, with the Three-Piece encapsulated evenly, like amber, just looking at it was already appetizing.

"Feels like there’s no need to make buns, just eating it directly is good enough!"

First, Chen Mo tried to save the dumpling filling, and succeeded as expected.

Then he scooped out a spoonful to eat it.

The texture was bouncy and cool on entry, and the solidified pigskin jelly had absorbed the flavors of the three ingredients and a lot of seasonings, making it even richer in flavor.

Light chewing turned the jelly into juice flowing down the throat, the granules of the three ingredients substantial on the tongue, further chewing mixing the flavors of pork and chicken, exceptionally delicious.

However, the cold pork and chicken slightly compromised on texture.

Cutting the dough he had just kneaded into uniformly sized pieces, Chen Mo placed a spoonful of jelly and Three-Piece onto the dough, then pinched out delicate pleats.

Not making too many, after all, just testing the ingredient storage feature, a total of six buns were placed on a small steamer.

As the buns were steaming, Chen Mo began the day’s work.

"Since there’s another free worker now, things are more convenient."

The lion’s head he still needed to handle himself, the Xue Brothers wouldn’t be able to master it anytime soon.

As for fried rice, Chen Mo wanted to see if he could completely hand it over to Huang Bo. After all, as the head chef of Jingya Pavilion for so many years, Huang Bo must possess some skills.

And this fried rice didn’t harbor many secrets, the key was cooking the rice with chicken stock, and then quickly airing it to drain the water on the surface of the rice.

Also, three times during the stir-frying, chicken stock needs to be dripped in, which requires utter precision in temperature control and the height reached by the ingredients during tossing.

No matter what, Chen Mo wanted Huang Bo to give the fried rice a try because to continue leveling up in Yangzhou, even if Chen Mo swung his spoon with sparks, it would still take a considerable amount of time.

Now, with the storage feature, Chen Mo felt there was no need to focus on gaining Experience Value through fried rice anymore.

"The Three-Piece Bun and Lion’s Head can both increase Experience Value and store ingredients."

"Now still needing another dish that can store ingredients, allowing maximum sales within limited business hours..."

Placing cooking before business hours and selling during, that strategy maximizes experience.

"Therefore, the cooking method of Phoenix Tail Shrimp perfectly matches my needs!"

Chen Mo immediately thought of this dish in his mind.

Firstly, you just needed to handle a single shrimp, and once stored, you’d never have to handle shrimp again.

Moreover, shrimp itself cooks easily, meaning it requires a very short preparation time. The most crucial part is that shrimp can be priced a bit higher without issue.

And Chen Mo wasn’t running a big restaurant, there was no need to set a fixed price for each serving of Phoenix Tail Shrimp.

Chen Mo just ran a stall!

Selling them one by one isn’t too much, right?

The shrimp heads could be used to make shrimp oil, and the shrimp meat could be used in fried rice, making this dish simply perfect.

Without further ado, Chen Mo took out his phone to start coordinating Xue Brothers and Huang Bo.

The Xue Brothers’ task remained the same, buying ingredients not too different from yesterday, except needing river shrimp today, of which Chen Mo directly bought 500 pounds. This startled Xue Ping quite a bit.

But recalling the fright from buying ingredients yesterday, and how Boss Xiao Chen almost sold out, Xue Ping didn’t comment, immediately following orders.

As for Huang Bo.

Huang Bo, who hadn’t slept well all night, felt extremely nervous when he received a call from Chen Mo.

"Chen... Boss!"

He still wasn’t used to it.

"You don’t have to do anything else today, just bring your stove from the North Gate to the Ecological Garden parking lot. I’ll teach you how to make that fried rice, whether you can learn it depends on you."

Huang Bo stood up straight from bed, "Really?"

"What do you mean really, hurry up, I won’t have time later."

After hanging up, Huang Bo still found it unbelievable, in his understanding, methods for culinary delights that captivate after just one bite were trade secrets.

Chefs didn’t give them up easily.

And Elder Qin said last night that if he could learn this fried rice, working at his restaurant wouldn’t be out of the question later.

Originally, Huang Bo intended to work with Boss Xiao Chen for a while, secretly observing, and even if not at 100%, at least learning 70-80% of it.

Unexpectedly, on the first day on the job, Boss Xiao Chen actually offered to teach him?

Not daring to think of anything else, Huang Bo immediately donned a clean chef’s uniform, ignoring breakfast, he drove straight to the Ecological Garden.

Meanwhile.

At Shuyue Pavilion.

Chef Yang Wenhua was in the boss’s office, awaiting instructions.
