Song Yi is still a good person, but his heart that loves food creation is a little overwhelming.

It would be fine if he tried to experiment with new dishes normally, but sometimes his thoughts could not be understood by ordinary people's minds. Like shrimp in desserts, hot and sour pies or something, it's just anti-human and how it comes.

On this day, Chen Xin came back with a big box from the post office. It is the mountain goods sent by the eldest brother of the Zhang family from his hometown, and the best kind specially collected for Chen Xin. Chen Xin also told Brother Zhang Qianqian not to say it before, but now that the coffee shop is open, and it also sells working meals, these mountain goods are also a good selling point.

Now that the people in the city have money, they want to eat something different, and the mountain where the Zhang family is located is different from the mountain here, and the mountain goods produced are naturally different. White fungus fungus or something is okay to say, mountain mushrooms and bamboo sunflower can't be eaten here, unless you buy the smoked one in the supermarket, of course, don't compare the taste with the naturally dried one.

There are also bamboo shoots on the mountain that are dried, and the roast beef is the best match, and the taste of stewed pork ribs with tender bamboo shoots is also long-waiting.

On the night of receiving the mountain goods, Chen Xin took three dried bamboo shoots to soak, which took two or three days to cook, during which she had to cook for an hour every day, change the water and soak for a day and a night. Toss it three times like this, and the dried bamboo shoots can be successfully concocted into the dish, otherwise even if they are used to stew soup, they may not be able to bite at all.

After soaking the bamboo shoots, Chen Xin took out another air-dried pheasant. There is no crisp and sour old kimchi of the Zhang family here, so the roast chicken can't be burned, but she can use mushrooms to stew, which is also unique.

The mushrooms are not the mountain mushrooms sent by the Zhang family, but fresh flowers. Hua Gu is a variant of shiitake mushrooms, which are more high-quality mushrooms, and are rich in nutrients when used to stew soups. And the pheasant is not an old hen, it is a one-year-old chicken, which is exactly matched with Hua Gu.

Although the pheasant is air-dried, in the process of stewing, the chicken absorbs enough water and becomes smooth and tender again, but it has a special flavor than the fresh hen, a bit like a faint smoky taste, but with some pine smell in the mountains and forests.

Because the flower girl itself is particularly nutritious, and the pheasant is also very fresh, this soup does not need to add any seasoning, just a little salt.

There are only three employees on the night shift, plus Song Yi and Aunt Chen Xin's nephews, there are only six people.

The little fat man Zhang Zhang has a very good appetite recently and has a great passion for meat. Chen Xin simply burned four chicken wings for him with Coke, and served them on a plate for him to gnaw on slowly.

When the adults were eating, Chen Xin took the leftover ingredients from noon and made a pot of assorted dry pots neatly.

It is said to be a mixed mix, in fact, it is the remaining chicken wings and pork ribs that have been oiled, the beef is marinated and baked in the oven until it is five or six ripe for later use, the unused prawns are marinated in wine and black peppercorns for ten minutes, broccoli, lotus root, carrots, etc. are cut into thick slices and cut off in water.

The ingredients of the dry pot are fried by Chen Xin herself, adding fresh chopped pepper and bean paste, after stir-frying, the ingredients have the spice of chili pepper and the hemp of Sichuan pepper, carefully distinguish, you can also taste the sweetness of wine.

Everyone eats hot pot often, but this is the first time I have tasted this kind of assorted dry pot. It's a bit like a hodgepodge, but it's more layered than a hodgepodge, and every bite can make people taste the taste of the ingredients themselves, but it's so spicy that you can even stuff an extra bowl of rice.

"Well, I suddenly had an idea, do you want to have a supper?"

As soon as Song Yiwan put it down, he began to tie his apron, planning to go to the kitchen to show off his skills.

"Why do I feel that I don't feel good?" Xiao Jun bit his chopsticks and looked at the kitchen door vigilantly, "Brother Song's recent thoughts are super strange, do you know what the dim sum you brought us this morning is? It's actually fried pineapple!"

Chen Xin was not there in the morning, and after hearing Xiaojun's words, she was drinking soup and almost didn't squirt out.

"How can this be such a strange thing? You still have to look at it, don't let him break through the sky too much. If this is for the guests to go up, I guess it won't be long before we have to close the door. ”

Song Yi was concentrating on creating his new dishes inside, and he didn't pay attention to the outside discussions.

After eating, Chen Xin still felt that she had to take a look, so she ran to Song Yi and watched quietly.

Song Yi is going to make a salad this time, look at the ingredients he uses are chicken breast, tuna meat, sweet sausage, potatoes, lettuce, green beans, sweet corn, it feels a bit mixed and matched, and sweet and salty are mixed together, if there is no exquisite blend, the taste will be very weird, it can be called a dark cuisine.

The price of these things is not low, but Chen Xin doesn't care about this expenditure, Song Yi's salary is already very low, and the only requirement is to let him develop new products as he wants. Of course, it is not possible to make a random one and sell it, but it can only be put on the shelves for trial sale after it has been unanimously approved by all the café staff.

So far, Song Yi has developed a total of more than 20 kinds of dishes, but only three can be put on the shelves, two of which are variants based on the cuisine of origin, and cannot be regarded as completely innovative dishes.

Cut the chicken breasts into cubes, add salt, white wine, and chopped black pepper and marinate for five minutes, then wrap them in tin foil and bake them in the oven. Peel the shell of the boiled egg and cut it into cubes of the same size. Slice the sweet sausage, fry it in a pan without oil until it is fragrant and set aside, and the large pieces of tuna are soaked in water, drained directly and diced.

The potatoes are roasted with the chicken and can be cooked almost at the same time, so don't worry about this for the time being, while the green beans and sweet corn have been processed before and can be used as salad toppings.

Song Yi thought about it, grabbed a handful of spiral pasta and boiled it in water, adding a little salt when cooking to avoid pasta soup. Once the pasta is cooked, chill it in purified ice, then drain and place on top of the lettuce leaves at the bottom of the salad bowl, topped with some salt and chopped black pepper. After that, all the diced ingredients are stacked in a row, including the potatoes and chicken that have been roasted and diced. The meat and vegetables are spaced apart, and the colors are also selected to be more bright, which makes people feel that it is a visual enjoyment at a glance.

The salad dressing was made by Song Yi himself, which was different from the salad dressing made by Chen Xin.

Chen Xin made a low-fat version, which is suitable for women who like to eat salads but want to maintain their figure. The salad dressing made by Song Yi has a thicker taste.

Salad dressings are actually very simple, using egg yolks, sugar, vegetable oil and lemon juice. Success depends on patience.

Once the ingredients for the salad are stacked, simply drizzle the salad dressing over it.

In addition to this mixed salad, Song Yi also fried the uneaten rice with shrimp, green beans and onions, and then selected four tomatoes of about the same size, peeled off the layer of the fruit stem, and then took out the tomato seeds inside, leaving only the thick layer of flesh with the skin. Finally, the fried rice is filled with mixed spices and tomatoes, covered with a layer of shaved cheese, sprinkled with a little crushed rosemary leaves, and sent to the oven.

Can tomatoes be roasted and eaten? Everyone looked at Song Yi suspiciously, thinking that he was afraid that he would make another dark dish. Only Chen Xin bit her fingers and her eyes lit up, and she felt that her café had exquisite food that could attract people.
