Hardcore Chef Dad

While the girls were taking dance classes, Su Ji was also making final preparations before opening.

Feng Yifan saw that the snacks made by Chen Xu and Luo Yu for the little girls today tasted good, so he asked Chen Xu and Luo Yu to make more.

Chen Xu, Luo Yu, for Su Ji's after-dinner snack today, let's use the fruit cake you made for Ruoruo and the others.

Chen Xu and Luo Yu were a little surprised when they heard this.

Chen Xu immediately asked: Chef, do you mean to use fruit crisps for today's after-dinner snack?

Feng Yifan nodded and asked: Yes, how about it? Is it okay?

Chen Xu decisively agreed: You can cook it, don't worry, Luo Yu and I will prepare it now.

Everyone in the kitchen, including Su Jinrong, saw that Chen Xu was very excited. Naturally, everyone understood why Chen Xu was excited.

Because this is the chance he finally has to show himself.

After coming to Suji for so long, Luo Yu’s dim sum has become the signature of Ruo Restaurant. Some customers even order one or two of Luo Yu’s dim sum before leaving and pack it as a gift to take back to their friends. .

In comparison, Chen Xu has never had the opportunity to show off himself.

Whether in Suji or Ruo Restaurant, he looks like a handyman.

This moment made Chen Xu deeply doubt whether he should come to Suji?

Fortunately, Luo Yu's silent support made Chen Xu gradually become more patient.

And he also began to study at Su Ji, following Feng Yifan, Shi Jiahui and others.

Even in the evening, Chen Xu would discuss it with Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong, Hans, Tom and Ning Cheng. The group of people really settled down to study the dishes and snacks together.

And through communication with Hans, I also got inspiration from some of his Western desserts.

The most important thing is that through studying at Su Ji and communicating with everyone, Chen Xu understood that he should not stick to formalities.

So this time, Chen Xu and Luo Yu teamed up and used the puff pastry method of durian puff pastry, replacing the filling with other fruit purees, and indeed achieved good results.

Moreover, it was recognized by Feng Yifan,

Let him serve it as a snack for today's dinner.

Maybe this arrangement is nothing in other restaurants?

But if it were Su Ji today, it would obviously be very different.

Because the diners who come to Su Kee for dinner can be said to have been spoiled by the variety of Su Kee dishes these days, and casual snacks are not recognized by everyone at all.

Feng Yifan would not let a dim sum go to the table easily.

Being able to serve Chen Xu's fruit cake shows full recognition of Chen Xu's dessert.

Next, Chen Xu also started preparations immediately.

This snack needs to be kneaded first, and it needs to be kneaded with two kinds of noodles.

First, use low-gluten flour for the outer water skin. Add sugar, eggs, and lard and mix them in the middle of the flour. Then add water to mix them all together.

Finally, you need to do some beating on the chopping board, so that the hand, surface, and chopping board are shiny.

Set aside to simmer for a while.

At this time, you also have to work with the oil center in the middle.

When using low-gluten flour, you need to sift the flour first, then mix it with butter in proportion. After it is completely mixed, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator to freeze.

Then take out the water skin that had been soaked for a while, knead it again, wrap it in plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator.

While the skin and heart were refrigerated and frozen in the refrigerator, Chen Xu and Luo Yu started preparing the fruit puree together.

All kinds of fruits are juiced, and the pulp and juice must be squeezed out together.

Then you need to sift it to filter out some of the residue in the fruit pulp.

Then put it into a basin, add some sugar and some starch, stir evenly, and finally put it into a steamer to steam it.

In this way, portions of fruit puree are completed.

Everything was ready, and Su Ji also started serving dinner.

When guests are ordering, the waiter in charge of ordering will specially recommend the snacks for today’s after-dinner meal.

After-dinner snacks are provided, but each guest can only eat one piece, so if guests want to purchase them, they need to order separately later.

Fang Lin explained to a table of customers who were ordering.

When they heard that after-dinner snacks were free, all the guests naturally accepted the offer.

Of course, there are also some customers who are curious and ask: Excuse me, are the dim sum made by Chef Feng?

When Fang Lin faced this question, she immediately answered: Oh, no, it's a newly developed dim sum by our restaurant's dim sum chef. Guests can try it.

Although it was not made by Feng Yifan, I heard that it was newly developed by Dim Sum Master Su Ji, and the customers all expressed their acceptance.

In the kitchen, Chen Xu was still a little nervous. After all, this was the time when his snacks were being put to the test.

He clenched his fists with both hands and looked a little reserved.

Luo Yu stood nearby, and seeing Chen Xu's look, he could probably understand Chen Xu's mood at this moment.

In fact, Luo Yu also had the same experience, and she had it more than once.

The first time was in a hotel restaurant where she experienced a competition with a pastry chef. She was also so nervous before the results came out.

The second time was at Ruo Restaurant.

On the day of the restaurant's trial opening, Luo Yu was really nervous when she saw such a lineup.

But at that time, Chen Xu was not nervous, so Chen Xu was always there to support her.

Now, it's Chen Xu's turn to face the test of the diners.

Luo Yu knew very well that at this moment she needed to stand up and support Chen Xu.

She stretched out her hand and gently held Chen Xu's hand, and then Luo Yu said very seriously: Don't worry, you should believe that when you made it at noon, you received unanimous praise from everyone, and in the afternoon Ruoruo and Xixi He Feifei also likes it, you must be able to do it.

With Luo Yu's encouragement, Chen Xu suddenly felt a surge of strength in his heart.

He turned and looked at her.

It was like the two people met for the first time. Just at the first sight, they felt that the other person was the person they recognized.

At this moment, the two people believed in each other, and they also believed in each other's abilities.

With Luo Yu's trust, Chen Xu took the other person's hand and intertwined their fingers.

Chen Xu said: Don't worry, I will definitely do it well.

Luo Yu said: I believe you can.

Shi Jiahui saw the scene between the two of them in the kitchen, and couldn't help but smile and said: Oh, you two are really cool. We usually just watch the chef and his wife show off their affection, but why did you and the young couple start this?

When Shi Jiahui said this, Chen Xu and Luo Yu were immediately shocked.

But the next moment, Luo Yu held Chen Xu's hand and raised it, and the two people were still clasped with their fingers.

Luo Yu smiled and said, Sous Chef, we are a legal couple, and such a show of affection is allowed.

Shi Jiahui suddenly laughed: Yo yo yo, I'm still excited, okay, you two show off slowly, but don't forget to make the snacks.

Hearing this, Chen Xu and Luo Yu quickly turned around and took out the skins from the refrigerator.

Remove from plastic wrap.

First, roll out the water skin so that it becomes very large, just enough to wrap the oil core.

After wrapping it, pinch the edges.

Then start rolling out the sandwich skin.

After rolling out into a long strip, fold it into three parts.

Then roll it out and then fold it in half.

After doing this three times, it is basically completed. Next, after rolling out the dough, use a grinder to cut out the round dough pieces one by one.

Next, fold the round dough in half and sandwich the prepared fruit puree in the middle.

After pressing the edges, Luo Yu helped and made some patterns on the edges.

At this moment, Chen Xu and Luo Yu's tacit cooperation appeared.

Chen Xu wrapped it up, and Luo Yu was responsible for making the patterns on the edges.

Luo Yu is indeed very powerful and can almost guarantee that the patterns will be consistent.

Chen Xu wrapped one here, and Luo Yu immediately took it and trimmed the edge.

The two of them cooperated like this and quickly made the first pot.

Place it on the baking sheet, brush some egg yolk liquid on the swollen part wrapped with stuffing, and sprinkle with a little white sesame seeds for decoration, then put it in the oven to bake.

When the first pot came out, the aroma wafted from the back kitchen to the front restaurant.

All of a sudden, the diners in the restaurant were surprised.

Wow, it smells so good?

It smells really good, like a snack.

Well, it should be a snack. It smells like butter and fruit.

There is also a scent, which is a bit like the scent of milk, but not quite like it.

It smells really good, I really want to eat it.

That's an after-dinner snack. We'll have to wait until after dinner.

Hurry up and eat. If you don't eat well, they won't serve you snacks for a while. Hurry up and eat well.

Some children who came with their parents immediately did not want to eat properly because they smelled the aroma of the snacks.

However, under the guidance of their parents, the children all ate well.

It's just that the children, although they eat obediently, are still thinking about snacks.

So after the dinner on the first table was finished, the children on the table couldn't wait to shout: Mom, Dad, we've finished eating, please hurry up and get some snacks.

In fact, there is no need for guests to ask for them. After seeing that the guests have finished their dishes, the snacks have been served.

And the snacks on the first table were delivered personally by Chen Xu.

Hello everyone, this is tonight's snack, fruit crisp, please try it.

The small fruit cake was served, which surprised the family of three at this table.

It was originally supposed to be shaped like a dumpling, but after adjustments by Chen Xu and Luo Yu, the shape now resembles a gold ingot.

Coupled with the patterns made by Luo Yu on the sides, it is really as fun as a small ingot.

The key point is that if you look carefully, you will find that the upper part of the Yuanbao is composed of layers of closely connected puff pastry. You can only see dense layers one after another. You can’t even count how many layers there are at the moment. It looks like And very beautiful.

Among the family of three, mom and dad were very surprised and thought this snack was really beautiful.

The children couldn't wait anymore: Mom and dad, can you eat it? Hurry up.

But the mother did not let the child eat, but took out her mobile phone to take pictures first.

The child was naturally very anxious: Mom, can't you eat it yet?

Finally, after my mother went back and forth to take pictures from multiple angles, she said, Okay, okay, you can eat.

The child immediately rushed to pick up the one he had already chosen.

As a result, because he used too much force, his hand was broken just like Feng Ruoruo before.

oops.

When the parents saw this, they quickly helped clean it up.

Mom said, Hey, why are you in such a hurry? This is a fruit cake, and the outer skin is very crispy. It will break if you apply force.

The father didn't say anything, quickly helped clean up, and gave his own to the child.

You have to be careful when holding it. Don't hold it as hard as you did just now.

The child was very careful this time and squeezed gently according to his father's instructions.

Put it to your mouth, and the child opens his mouth and takes a bite.

As a result, what was left on my hand shattered again.

Fortunately, my father and mother reached out to help catch it.

The child chewed it in his mouth and said, Wow, this, this, broke again.

Mom said: You eat first, don't talk in a hurry.

The children ate the fruit crisps.

After swallowing it, the children couldn't wait to say: Mom, Dad, this is delicious.

At the same time, snacks were served at another table next to it.

While the family of three was delayed, another table had already eaten.

After eating it, the guests at the other table almost exclaimed together with the children: It's really delicious. The shell is crispy and the inside is full of fruit flavor. It's so delicious.

And it smells good.

The family of three here saw the table next door eating it and they were full of praise.

Dad and Mom ate the last one separately.

After eating it, the children's parents also praised it and thought it was really delicious.

The key is to eat it after a meal. The fragrance of the fruit and the non-greasy pastry make it really delicious.

After the children finished eating, they were a little bit unsatisfied and immediately started shouting that they wanted to eat more.

After weighing the matter, the parents finally ordered a takeaway meal from the waiter Su Ji.

And the guests at the next table actually asked to order one to take away.

What Chen Xu didn't expect was that he was able to show his strength on the first day and actually won very good business. Many customers at the table would order one to take away.

This is also the first time that Chen Xu has been so busy during dinner business hours.

Fortunately, snacks can be made in batches, you just need to master the proportions, so you can get a lot out of the oven at once every time.

This evening, Su Ji's business seemed to be better than the previous few days.

Because more people gathered at the door than in previous days.

But in fact, it is not that there are more people, but that some people need to wait for the snacks to be packed after finishing their meal, so they will stay at the door for a while.

After the family of three got the packaged snacks, the children couldn't wait to eat them.

But my mother stopped me: Okay, let's take it home and eat it. Otherwise, you'll finish eating before we get home. What will you eat when you get home?

The mother's words still worked well. The children no longer clamored to eat, but hurried home with their parents.
