Chapter 97 Beef Fried Rice

This is a simple snack stand with just a canopy and a few tables and chairs. There is a sign next to it with the words "Tianhong Pavilion" inscribed on it.

A few people walked to the snack stand, and the girl said enthusiastically: "Welcome."

A few people were about to sit down, but when they looked up and saw the three words "Tianhong Pavilion" on the sign, they stopped immediately.

"Tianhong Pavilion, it can't be that..."

“The one that makes fake shark fin.”

"Forget it, who knows what they mixed into the food."

"Let's go."

After discussing in a low voice, they turned and left.

Although they spoke in low voices, the girl heard them clearly.

She remained expressionless and saw them off with a smile on her face.

Only after they had disappeared did he reveal a lonely and sad expression.

Since the stall opened, many people have come here, but every time they see the three words "Tianhong Pavilion", they turn around and leave without hesitation.

The fake shark fin incident caused such great harm to Tianhong Pavilion that these three words became poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, and people would avoid them as much as possible when they saw them.

The girl took a deep breath. At the moment when she set up the stall with Xu Qing, she had already prepared herself mentally. She could accept any kind of malicious slander.

She only had a little doubt in her mind: could this situation really be effective? Could it really change people's views on Tianhong Pavilion?
They didn't even want to eat a bite.

Seeing this, the guys at Tianhong Pavilion also started to worry and asked Xu Qing, "Brother, should we think of another way? For example, lower the price? No, why not just make it free? That way, many people will probably come to eat."

Xu Qing had just finished making a dish. He picked up a spoon to taste it and nodded with satisfaction.

During this period, his physical training was very effective, and he could imitate Master Luo Tian's unique skills to about 60% of the same level.

He just tried a small amount on this dish, and the effect was very obvious.

The preparation of Cantonese cuisine attaches great importance to the wok aroma. Simply put, when the ingredients are stir-fried at high temperature, they will come into contact with the wok and produce a burnt aroma. This aroma circulates inside the wok through the evaporation of water vapor, adheres to the food, and adds a unique aroma to it.

People always feel that something is missing when they eat food that is not stir-fried at high temperatures, and this missing thing is what people often call wok aroma.

Ingredients stir-fried at high temperatures will have their aroma thoroughly stimulated by the effects of oil and temperature. At the same time, the rapid overheating method is also beneficial for locking in the nutrients of the ingredients and retaining their fresh taste.

This dish perfectly showcases the freshness and original flavor of the ingredients. After eating this dish, Xu Qing realized that the taste of his previous dishes was really lacking.

Fortunately, the simple use of intention can make up for some of the shortcomings in taste.

However, in the future, we will meet more and more chefs who know how to use their mind. Under the same conditions, the quality of their skills will become the key to determining victory or defeat.

Now he has finally made up for one of his shortcomings.

At this moment, Xu Qing heard what the waiter said, shook his head and said, "No need to do this. Sell this dish for the same price as before."

"But……"

How could we sell the food if there were no customers coming to eat? Xu Qing consoled him, "Don't worry. Here come the customers again."

The guests who came happened to be the ones who had left before.

They were going to eat buns as originally planned, but as soon as they arrived at the bun shop, they suddenly lost their appetite.

The aroma of the buns is as delicious as ever, but no matter how delicious the food is, you will get tired of it if you eat it every day.

The aroma of all these buns combined is not as good as the aroma you smell when passing by a snack stand.

The aroma lingered in their noses, stirring their hearts. Even their stomachs seemed to have become like the aroma, secreting gastric acid just for it.

The buns in front of them did not arouse their interest at all.

A few people left the bun shop with sighs, wandered around the empty streets, and finally subconsciously walked back to the snack stand.

The aroma of food in the air became stronger, as if it had become concrete food, and just taking a breath would make people salivate. However, the aroma was only aroma after all, and it could not fill the stomach. The stomach became empty, and kept secreting gastric juice, urging them to fill themselves up.

Even though Tianhong Pavilion had a bad reputation in the past, they didn't care about all that.

When the girl saw these people coming back, she smiled brightly again and said, "Welcome."

This sunny smile made the few people feel relaxed unconsciously, and they vaguely felt a bit favorable towards the snack stand.

After all, who could say no to someone with a bright and welcoming smile?
Just based on the service attitude, this meal was worth it.

"What dishes do you have here?"

"Today's signature dish is beef fried rice," the girl said.

As soon as the five words "beef fried rice" were uttered, several people swallowed their saliva subconsciously. For them who worked hard, staple foods and meat were really irresistible.

"Then let's serve five first."

"Okay, five servings of beef fried rice." The girl nodded.

At the same time, Xu Qing started cooking. With her silky knife skills, the beef was quickly cut into thin strips, which were then poured into the pot and quickly stir-fried. Eggs, vegetables and rice were added, and the ingredients were evenly flipped up and down in the pot. However, no matter how they were flipped, not even a grain of rice splashed out of the pot. It was as if there was a transparent cover on the edge of the pot, locking all the ingredients inside.

Soon, five servings of beef fried rice were served.

Brown beef, white rice, golden eggs, and green vegetables add to the feast, bringing a satisfying visual experience. The ingredients are all glowing with a lustrous luster, making people salivate.

Several people were already starving, and they didn't even bother to appreciate the appearance of the dishes. They quickly picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

A big mouthful of fried rice is put into the mouth, and the teeth can't wait to start chewing. The tender beef has a slight elasticity and stretches out smoothly when bitten by the tips of the teeth. The delicate fibers turn into rich juice between the chewing of the teeth, with a full and mellow taste.

The rice is just the right softness and hardness. The outer layer is fried at high temperature to be crispy and slightly hard, while the inside is soft. The unique sweetness of the rice is tightly locked in it. Every chew makes the sweetness and the crispy aroma on the outside blend more deeply into one, bringing a unique taste.

The fried eggs are extremely tender. After being roasted at high temperature, the unique egg aroma of the eggs is thoroughly stimulated. The tender eggs and the slightly hard rice grains form a perfect complement.

The crispness and fresh aroma of the green vegetables neutralize the fat in the meat, making the taste more crisp and refreshing.

Whether it is tender, refreshing, mellow, or slightly elastic, these various flavors are fully integrated into one while the teeth are chewing. Every time you chew, several flavors and tastes burst out instantly, making people subconsciously stuff food into their mouths, just to experience this wonderful feeling more.
