Dare to cook

Chapter 47 Chicken Balls in Orange Sauce
Fifteen tables of banquets, even if calculated according to the lower standard of fifteen dishes per table, more than 200 dishes need to be cooked.

In less than an hour, 225 dishes must be prepared quickly.

During the period, I had to deal with the orders of other customers.

In addition, the [-] tables of banquet dishes originally ordered in the No. [-] banquet hall had to be prepared quickly.

To suppress such a large workload is not a small challenge for Lu Yuan's back chef, who has a strong professional level.

Seeing that Yao Yu was willing to help, Lu Tao was not polite: "Then you first chop [-] catties of lion's head meat, and then help make [-] servings of chicken balls in orange juice."

Cut thirty pounds of minced meat and make sixty portions of chicken balls...

It would be exhausting to be an ordinary person.

But Yao Yu had no objection, and said readily, "Okay, no problem!"

Later, Yao Yu came to the workbench specially responsible for cutting and matching meat, and once again used his unparalleled knife skills, frightening several of the chefs responsible for cutting and matching meat, so that they forgot to work.

"What are you looking at stupidly! Quickly cut up the mutton and beef tenderloin, and they are waiting to be used over there!"

Mu Shaoran, who came back from the phone call, patted the dazed cooks.

The cooks just woke up from their dreams and quickly lowered their heads to work.

Yao Yu cut thirty catties of minced meat, and said to Mu Shaoran who was not far away, "Where is the chicken for making orange juice chicken balls? Hurry up and bring it here!"

Mu Shaoran is currently concentrating on cooking the boiled dried shredded rice.
Hearing this, he was very unhappy and said:

"Yao Yu, who are you calling? This is not the back chef of Renhe Pavilion!"

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Li, go to the water platform and get some chickens."

Hearing this, the two small workers rushed to get the chicken.

Orange juice chicken balls are not Huaiyang cuisine, but the sweet and sour taste is very suitable for sale in Huaiyang restaurants.

The chicken balls in orange juice that Lu Tao asked Yao Yu to cook will also be delivered to the No. [-] banquet hall later.

Seeing that the two workers brought whole chickens that had not been boned, Yao Yu said to them, "Both of you, go and prepare some freshly squeezed orange juice. The amount should not be less than four liters."

Xiao Liu and Xiao Li saw that this master really didn't regard themselves as outsiders. They looked at each other and didn't dare to say much, so they turned around and went to squeeze the orange juice.

Chicken breasts for orange chicken balls.

Yao Yu had to scrape off all the meat from the whole chickens first, and then chop them into pieces.

The amount of chicken needed to make [-] orange juice chicken balls is very large. After Yao Yu chopped all the chicken, he saw that the amount was not enough, so he sent another ten chickens.

All the chicken is minced, marinated, and stuffed, then rolled into small balls, and then dipped in cornstarch and fried in oil.

After frying, control the oil and remove it, and let it cool for a few minutes.

At this time, two small workers had already brought over the squeezed orange juice.

Freshly squeezed orange juice cannot be used directly in the pot.

Before using orange juice, you have to add tomato paste, rice vinegar, sugar and a little salt to the orange juice for seasoning.

After the orange juice is seasoned, you can heat the oil in the pan.

When the oil temperature is heated to six mature, you have to pour orange juice into it.

After the orange juice is boiled over low heat, when the soup is thick, pour in the chicken balls, then keep turning the spoon and stir fry for a while, then the juice can be collected and placed on a plate.

There is no difficulty in making this dish of chicken balls in orange juice, the main thing is that the oranges used must be fresh enough.

Generally, chefs who can cook lion heads and sixi meatballs can cook this dish.

After Yao Yu finished the dishes, he even glanced at them with his system skills, and found that the orange juice chicken balls he produced all scored above 9.8, so he let the passer take them away with confidence.

After Yao Yu's sixty portions of chicken balls were brought out, several Lu Yuan chefs who were supposed to have a day off today also received calls and rushed to the kitchen.

With the addition of these new forces.

Everyone finally dealt with the huge workload.

The fifteen additional tables of dishes in the No. [-] banquet hall were all served in time.

The [-] orange juice chicken balls made by Yao Yu were all sold to individual customers in the front hall, and received a lot of praise.

Including Lu Tao, more than 30 people in the kitchen were busy until eight o'clock, when they had time to rest.

During this period, Yao Yu helped Lu Yuan cook more than 20 complicated Huaiyang dishes.

After everyone finished work, Lu Tao came over with two bottles of self-brewed plum wine, handed Yao Yu a bottle and said, "Thank you for your hard work today, you have been of great help!"

"What Uncle Lu said, you are here to take care of the scene. No matter how big the scene is, it's not a problem."

Yao Yu took a sip from the bottle and said curiously,

"However... Lu Yuan's business is so busy, why didn't Lu Chenyu stay here to help?"

Lu Tao laughed and said:

"There was an emergency today, and I wouldn't be so busy as usual."

"As for Chen Yu, she's gone on a trip to Xiangjiang, and she won't be back until a few days later. What? Do you really want to see her?"

"No, no, I don't want to..."

Yao Yu quickly shook his head, but felt that it was inappropriate to say so, and explained:
"I mean, as a chef, I'm really looking forward to fighting her! But I'm not in a hurry, anyway, I'm sure to meet her in the famous competition."

Lu Tao asked with great interest:

"Yao Yu, if you really met Chen Yu in the arena, what would you do?"

Yao Yu smiled confidently, deliberately paused and said:

"Of course it's for your sake... You must try your best to defeat her."

Hearing this, Lu Tao laughed and scolded: "You brat, you are so arrogant, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of Lu Garden tonight?"

……

Facts have proved that, of course, Lu Tao will not ask someone to dig a hole to bury Yao Yu just because of Yao Yu's joke.

After nine o'clock, Yao Yu, who had a sumptuous staff meal with Lu Yuan's cooks, left Lu Yuan.

When he left, Yao Yu was still holding a large box of plum wine made by Lu Tao in his arms.

After leaving Lu Yuan, Yao Yu went to pick up Yao Chan from school as usual.

Yao Chan looks very tired today.

On the way home, she also wasn't as energized as she had been the previous few days.

As the date of the college entrance examination decreases day by day, the school assigns more and more homework and quizzes to students.

Yao Yu has been doing papers for a whole day today, and all kinds of brain-burning questions have consumed a lot of her brain cells.

After returning home, Yao Chan washed up and fell into a deep sleep.

Yao Yu also knew that Yao Chan had been studying very hard recently, so after thinking about it, he sent Yang Rui a WeChat message: "Come to my time tomorrow, remember to bring a few wild crucian carp and wild pigeons."

On the WeChat side, Yang Rui didn't go out at night, and replied in seconds: "Why do you want those? Are you confinement for someone?"

"Get out~!" Yao Yu replied: "Yao Chan has been studying hard recently, and I plan to make some stewed wild pigeons to nourish my body."

Yang Rui saw that it was prepared for Yao Chan, so he stopped joking and replied, "Don't worry, buddy will definitely get you some wild ones."

After finishing the call with Yang Rui, Yao Yu also took a bath to rest.

Silent all night.

When I woke up early the next morning, it was another day full of energy.

However, this morning, for the chefs in the culinary art world, it seemed extremely uneasy.

because……

Yesterday, Yao Yu was so angry that he posted a sky-high price for a fight on Wanghai Tower, but someone actually took it down!

The chef who accepted Yao Yu's appointment invitation was not from Huaxia, but a Chinese chef from Han Kingdom.
