How much water do you add to cook rice?

Is this question a chef should ask? Even if this chef is the boss!

Aunt Fang looked at Su Chen in disbelief as she stuck out her head, "Just let the water cover the first knuckle."

"Okay~"

Su Chen retracted his head and the kitchen door closed again. The group of people outside were really confused this time.

Zhang Yali grabbed Li Mingtao's clothes and turned around, "That was your boss just now?"

Li Mingtao made a sound in his throat.

"I don't even know how to cook rice, so why should I be your chef? How about we go home and eat?"

Although Zhang Yali also has a job, she still cooks at home during her breaks. For a person who can cook, cooking rice can be said to be an entry-level cooking skill.

How can a person who can't even cook cook anything delicious?

"Where are you going back to?" Li Mingtao lowered his voice, glanced at other colleagues, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he said, "Seeing that the money will not come back, I can save some, because my son doesn't like it. If so, go to the warehouse to get some food, and you can make one for him, but we both have to eat it!"

Zhang Yali wanted to say something else, but Li Mingtao glared at her hard and shut up.

Su Chen had no idea that his casual question would make the employees who had just gained confidence in him feel a little worried again.

Due to his status as the boss, everyone did not dare to say anything and could only watch Su Chen messing around in the kitchen.

Some girls have even decided secretly.

Later I will say that I have lost weight recently at night, so I just drink some water!

Here, Su Chen cooked the rice according to Aunt Fang's instructions and clapped her hands with satisfaction.

“Next is the soul of eggplant stewed with potatoes!”

Chop a large handful of coriander into small pieces, chop three peppers into small pieces, and finally chop a head of garlic into small pieces.

This dish, with or without garlic, are two extremes!

These simple tasks made Su Chen sweat profusely.

"Looks like I have to go to the practice room to practice my knife skills when I have some free time."

Especially when cutting the garlic, it was okay at first, but when there was only a handful left, Su Chen was afraid of cutting off his hand.

Putting the chopped ingredients into a bowl, Su Chen glanced around and saw what he needed among a pile of seasoning bottles.

【Purple Forest Vinegar】

As a city in the central region, Jingzhou people are not jealous when eating.

It is said that the steamed dumplings drowned in vinegar by Jingzhou people every year can probably circle the earth more than ten times!

After adding some mature vinegar to the bowl and soaking the chopped ingredients, Su Chen slightly opened the lid and took a look.

Because the potatoes were cut into relatively small pieces, they had become soft after nearly twenty minutes of slow stewing over medium heat.

Seeing that it was exactly the same as what he did in the practice room, Su Chen lifted the lid of the pot with satisfaction.

He picked up the large spatula and began to press the eggplant and potatoes in the pot. The stewed soft eggplant and potatoes lost their original shape after just a few presses.

The lumpy eggplant was pressed until only the fiber strips inside were left, while the potatoes were pressed directly into the soup!

"Done!"

Su Chen poured the vinegar and ingredients in the bowl into the pot, and stirred evenly with the shovel from bottom to top. The soup in the pot suddenly became thicker after being stirred in this way.

Under the influence of high temperature, the vinegar aroma carries the flavor of coriander and pepper, which is infinitely amplified. It seems to have some magical reaction with the eggplant and potatoes in the pot, and the taste begins to become rich.

Taking a deep breath, Su Chen's throat surged a few times as he smelled the smell.

I have done it more than 80 times in the practice room, but every time I can only watch it but not eat it!

‘I’ll make sure to do three big bowls of it later! ’

Su Chen endured the greed in his stomach and washed his hands, "It's done, ready to eat!"

Bai Xiaobo was the first to rush into the kitchen, "I'll serve it!"

However, he did not make any move to serve the dish, but took the lead in coming to the stove to look at the pot of "dish".

"Boss, can I ask a question?" Bai Xiaobo stared at the iron pot.

Su Chen wiped his hands and found a big bowl for himself, "You said."

Bai Xiaobo pointed to the iron pot, "What are we eating today?"

While he was talking, everyone else came in.

Su Chen was a little confused when Bai Xiaobo asked, "Don't you all know about eggplant stewed with potatoes?"

"Boss, where are the potatoes?"

Su Chen: "It's melted."

"Where's the eggplant?"

"Rotten."

"Then this is"

“Eggplant stewed with potatoes.”

Bai Xiaobo frowned, "It seems to be all right, but I always feel that something is wrong."

Su Chen snorted, "Li Mingtao, don't be stunned. Take the pot out with Xiaobai and put it on the table."

"Carry the pot?" Li Mingtao also came in with his own tableware. He and his wife both held their own lunch boxes and chopsticks.

"Well, just carry it out. It will save you a few dishes. I'm too lazy to wash them."

Now that the meal is done, Su Chen is still the boss!

Of course you have to listen to what your boss says!

Li Mingtao handed the lunch box to Zhang Yali and came to the iron pot, "What are you doing?"

Liu Shengnan sighed, "It's different from the potato stewed eggplant I've eaten."

"Although I don't know how to cook, I also know the color, smell, and taste." Li Mingtao looked at the pot of 'mush', "Which one do you think this dish fits?"

Aunt Fang shook her head, "Forget it, just have a bite, I've done everything."

Bai Xiaobo padded his hands with a rag and placed them on the edge of the iron pot, "Let's go."

The two of them were carrying the big pot, Aunt Fang was holding the rice cooker, and a group of people sat on the dining table with mixed emotions.

Su Chen was the first to stand up and serve himself half a bowl of rice. Then he scooped up the vegetables from the iron pot and poured it on top of the rice, then put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

That’s it!

Under everyone's gaze, Su Chen stirred the rice, eggplant and potatoes with the chopsticks in his hand.

Mix it with rice and take a big bite.

'Depend on! Is this really my craft? ’

Just after the entrance, Su Chen felt a little incredible!

The eggplant shreds rotten into fibrous strips are hung with rich soup, and the soup is full of mashed potatoes!

Take this bite.

The soft texture of eggplant is wrapped in the sandy texture of mashed potatoes. Just chew it gently, and the aroma of garlic and pepper will instantly spread in your mouth!

It wasn't until I swallowed a full mouthful of rice that the special aroma of coriander burst out, with a hint of the unique sweetness of aged vinegar.

‘This level is considered top-notch among many restaurants! ’

Su Chen thought to himself while taking big mouthfuls of bibimbap.

When I was an anchor, many restaurants would not make potato stewed eggplant like this.

The reason is simple. This thing is delicious, but it doesn’t look good!

We don't have much time to make this today. This is the only dish Su Chen can think of that can feed ten people in a short time.

Half a bowl of rice was not much. Su Chen took a few mouthfuls of the bowl before reaching the bottom. He stood up with satisfaction and prepared to have another bowl of rice for himself.

"Why don't you eat?" Seeing everyone else at the table holding a bowl of white rice and staring at him motionless, Su Chen was a little puzzled.

Although this was at the dining table, Su Chen's question seemed to be in the conference room.

The young college students all lowered their heads and pretended to shovel rice into their mouths.

At this time, Li Mingtao stood up with a smile and took over the big spoon. "Young people nowadays are picky. The boss cooks the food himself. How can the taste be bad? Haha, I'll take the lead!"

After that, Li Mingtao also covered his white rice with a layer of potatoes and eggplants.

But his weight is much less than Su Chen's.

Bai Xiaobo looked at Li Mingtao in disbelief. Backstabbing him at this time?

Everyone looked at Li Mingtao again, with expressions in their eyes

Full of schadenfreude!
