Chapter 160: The Second Half of the Night

Along the way, avoiding the shuttle trucks and busy students, the original ten minutes of travel was dragged to nearly an hour. After going through many difficulties and dangers, Jiang Yunfeng finally approached the meeting place. From afar, I saw that after the handover with the staff, I commanded the crane to lift a huge object from the heavy truck. Megumi Tazo also sorted the ingredients that were transported together so that they could be processed and sent to the fresh-keeping cabinet for further processing.

Xingping Chuangzhen saw Jiang Yunfeng who was avoiding the vehicle in the distance, so he waved and shouted, "Ah Feng!" Over here!! Over here!! "Bypass the truck and squeeze through the other students who are in a hurry. came to the two of them at a trot, panting, and said with a smile, "Chuangzhen, Xiaohui, good evening." Glancing around at the mountains of kitchen utensils and ingredients around him, he whistled, "It seems that there are a lot of things to prepare tonight, is that the oven you got from Chuangzhen?" ”

"Yes, I've picked the cleanest and newest one." Kohei said with a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yunfeng was surprised: "What? Brand new oven! After speaking, he grabbed the flashlight on the table, jumped up the steps, poked his upper body into the top kiln, observed a circle and then withdrew, and said with a smile, "Chuangzhen, we are in trouble these days." ”

Kohei Soma and Tanzoe were confused when they heard it, and they all expressed their puzzlement. Jiang Yunfeng beckoned to them and motioned to come up. Then he used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the inner wall of the oven, explaining, "See, the quartz sand coating on the upper half of the oven and the refractory bricks on the lower half have no traces of being burned by the flame, and there is no grass ash at the bottom of the oven." This shows that this oven has not been lit and has just been cooked, and it has been selected by Chuangzhen. ”

Kohei Soma still didn't understand, and asked, "What does this mean, can't we make my special 'pepper cake' by heating this new oven on a fire?" There's not much difference between the old and the new. ”

"It's big." Jiang Yunfeng shook his fingers, and then said, "In an earthen kiln-style oven like this with an opening above, whether the food baked is delicious or not is largely restricted by the 'kiln meat'. After years of calcination in the oven, the oil exuded from the food itself metamorphoses and adheres to a hard beeswax substance on the inner wall at high temperatures. Its role is to trap the heat in the oven. In other words, as long as the oven is burned to the desired temperature in advance, the food can be evenly heated for a long time without the need to add charcoal frequently. The new oven has this kind of thermal insulation performance, which increases the temperature quickly, and at the same time, the temperature dissipates quickly. Cooking food in a new oven requires a high level of control on the heat. This brand new oven selected by Chuangzhen has not been burned, and I don't know if there will be any uneven temperature problems. ”

"Uneven furnace temperature?" Megumi Tanzo asked a cute question.

"Uneven oven temperatures can be a near-fatal problem for a chef. Inexperienced chefs often find themselves grilled on one side of the food that is about to turn charred and the other side is not fully cooked. ”

Kohei Soma only recalled that when he chose this oven a few days ago because it was clean, the lecturer's playful smile seemed to be mocking the fool who didn't know the goods. But Han Shi calmed himself down and analyzed, "It's no longer realistic to apply for a replacement oven now, even if it's too late, it's estimated that the occasional reading will be picked up by other students." Feng, what are we going to do now? ”

"Burn the kiln first, and heat the oven." Jiang Yunfeng took out his mobile phone, looked at the time, and then said, "With such a big oven, I estimate that it will burn for 12 hours, it is now 8 o'clock in the evening, and after 12 hours, it will be 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." Regardless of what happens in the end, we're going to have to put the first batch of Chuangzhen's special 'pepper crackers' in the oven or we won't be able to make it to the end of breakfast. ”

Tian Suohui asked worriedly, "Jiang Jun, what if there is really an uneven furnace temperature as you said?" ”

"Then we can only open the corresponding ventilation holes, adjust the position of the carbon fire for limited adjustments, and the rest can only depend on the destiny of heaven." Jiang Yunfeng took the wood handed by Kohei Chuangzhen and stacked it at the bottom of the oven, and said to Tian Sumi, "Xiaohui, please contact Ryoko and Yuhime, and help me send over the big box of stinky tofu that I have received from the kitchen of Polestar Liao, okay?" ”

"Okay." Megumi Tansho smiled sweetly and went to the side to make a call.

"Chuangzhen, open all the ventilation holes at the bottom!" After piling up the wood, Jiang Yunfeng poured accelerant into the oven, and after hearing Kohei Chuangzhen's reply, he threw the burning match in his hand from the kiln mouth on the top, and jumped off the oven quickly.

The fierce fire even attracted the security personnel of Yuanyue, and it took a long time to convince these security guards with fire extinguishers that it was just heating the oven and not an accidental fire. After sending off the security guards, Jiang Yunfeng crossed his waist, looked at the 'Jiume Hotel' directly opposite, and asked, "Haven't my seniors appeared in their own store yet?" ”

Kohei Soma, who pushed the wind stove to a fixed position, wiped his sweat and replied, "That's right, since this afternoon, it has been the members of the 'Chinese Cuisine Research Association' who have been decorating the restaurant and processing the ingredients in advance. ”

"Then when I see the two of us appear across from his shop tomorrow, I can imagine how wonderful Senior Jiu's face will be, haha."

"Okay, if you want to see the wonderful shots tomorrow, hurry over and debug this stove, otherwise we will be watched by others." Xingping Chuangzhen took up the posture of a store manager and commanded Jiang Yunfeng.

"Why me, wouldn't it be nice if you could do it yourself."

"Because I'm the store manager, you're just a part-time worker. Hurry up and make dinner, I'll go and speed up the progress with Xiaohui. ”

It makes sense, Jiang Yunfeng can't refute it. I could only touch my nose and run back to take over. Kohei Soma added new firewood to the oven to ensure that the fire was strong, and began to cut and process the ingredients together with Megumi Tadoko. After successfully adjusting the stove, Jiang Yunfeng picked up two woks, poured a whole bucket of peanut oil into one pot, and prepared to fry the stinky tofu that would be sent for a while. Pour a small amount of peanut oil into the other mouthful, scoop a spoonful of chopped garlic that Kohei Chuangzhen has just chopped, stir-fry until fragrant, put in the ground pork and fry the lard, pour in a large bowl of fresh tomatoes, stir-fry the soup and add an appropriate amount of water. Pick up a large, clean bowl, run to the flour bag, and scoop out half of the bowl.

Xingping Chuangzhen, who had been chopping vegetables, saw Jiang Yunfeng asking for flour while cooking soup, and said in confusion, "Ah Feng, this is cooking soup and flour." What the hell are you going to do for dinner? Jiang Yunfeng added a small amount of water to the bowl, quickly stirred the flour into a fine flocculent shape before replying, "I make a home-cooked 'pimple soup' soup, noodles, meat, and vegetables are all mixed in one pot, delicious and fast," After speaking, he changed the high heat of cooking the soup to medium heat, slowly poured the whole bowl of flour into the soup pot, and quickly picked up a frying spoon and stirred to avoid sticking. After pouring the dough, pick up an egg and poke a hole in the shell. Slowly pour the egg whites and yolks out of the holes into the pan as well.

Add salt to taste, soy sauce to enhance freshness. Jiang Yunfeng scooped up a little with a frying spoon, took a sip lightly to try the taste, nodded with satisfaction, and finally sprinkled the chopped greens and coriander into the pot and drizzled a few drops of sesame oil. The faint scent spreads around the ruined shop, and passers-by and students in the surrounding shops are all looking sideways. What's more, they come directly to follow the fragrance and want to ask for a bowl to taste. Anyway, after making such a big pot, Jiang Yunfeng did not refuse to come after setting aside enough amount, and at the same time had a good relationship with the surrounding stores.

Megumi Tanzo held the small bowl and took a sip of the 'pimple soup' and moaned comfortably. The delicious soup flowed smoothly from the throat to the stomach, driving away hunger and warming the stiff limbs that had been frozen by the night dew of late autumn. Just as the three of them were enjoying the late autumn recipes, Ryoko Sakaki and Yuhime Yoshino drove a tricycle to the stall with all of Jiang Yunfeng's belongings, and after unloading the whole box of stinky tofu, Ryoko Sakaki and Yoshino Yuhime just hurriedly drank a few mouthfuls of 'pimple soup' and said that they were going to Ichishiki Huina to help and drove away.

Tilt your head and pour the remaining soup from the bowl into your mouth. After taking out his mobile phone to check the time, he said, "It's past 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and it's early in the morning." How's your preparation? ”

Kohei Sozane finished the soup in his bowl and wiped his mouth and said, "I have prepared enough side dishes for tomorrow, and if I start making noodles now, I will wake up at dawn, so I plan to keep the oven for a while, and then squint for a while, and then start making noodles at 4 o'clock in the morning." Xiaohui, after drinking the soup, you should go to rest first, and you will be busy tomorrow to recuperate. ”

"Don't you really need my help, Chuangzhenjun and Jiangjun, won't you two feel tired?"

Jiang Yunfeng and Xingping smiled and said, "It's okay, Xiaohui." You can rest assured and boldly, Chuangzhen and I are used to staying up late to cultivate immortals when we were studying in the branch of the predecessors of the four palaces. ”

"That~~~ Okay." Seeing that the two were so resolute, Megumi Tazo had to put down the finished soup bowl and lie down on the bench in the tourist rest area at the back.

"That's good, rest in peace. If you have dark circles under your eyes due to lack of sleep, Chuangzhenjun will be distressed. Hearing Jiang Yunfeng's teasing, Tian Suo Hui pulled up the velvet blanket to cover his blushing little face, and then showed a little gap and secretly looked at Kohei Chuangzhen, who was chasing Jiang Yunfeng, and slowly fell asleep with a sweet smile on his face.

"Alright, alright. If the fire in the oven is extinguished, it will collapse. Jiang Yunfeng's kind reminder ended the 'duel' between the two of them using the frying spoon as a weapon, and Xingping Chuangzhen stuffed the frying spoon to Jiang Yunfeng, and picked up the wood and climbed onto the oven.

Jiang Yunfeng put the frying spoon away, took off the thick Yuanyue uniform jacket, wore a T-shirt, and wiped the sweat on his forehead from the stove fire with a white towel hanging around his neck. I plan to take advantage of the dead of night to pre-fry all the stinky tofu I have left, open the lid of the box and scoop up the appropriate amount of stinky tofu speculative hot oil pot.

"Hmm~~ No matter how many times I smell it, I can't get used to this smell." Kohei Soma said with a pinching of his nose after adding wood.

"I said I chose to fry it at this time."

"However, when it's fried and your secret sauce is added, it's really delicious. By the way, how much do you plan to sell for four yuan a piece? ”

"A 'bamboo' voucher plus this not very good appearance is sure that no one will buy it, so I reduced it to a 'plum' voucher."

"Aren't you losing money like this?"

"It's a loss, that's why I'm working with you."

"Don't be discouraged, it's only a matter of time before the combination of the two of us tops the entire [Moon Festival] sales list." Kohei Chuangzhen walked up to Jiang Yunfeng, patted him on the shoulder, and then the two of them looked at the central district in the dead of night。。。。。。
