Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 637-National Petition, Pastry Chef Reemployment

"This trip to Northeast China was absolutely amazing. The photo spots were all so beautiful, the Ice and Snow World was so much fun, and the most important thing was starting with the Snow Mian Quicksand. I also tried every single one of Boss Wang's dishes; Northeastern cuisine is truly delicious. This trip to Northeast China was absolutely perfect, and I'm heading home tomorrow."

"Me too, and I was lucky enough to catch a heavy snowfall. The feeling of lying on the freshly fallen snow was truly blissful. I'm planning to go back tomorrow, but I'll definitely come back next year."

In the evening, many people were sharing their gains from their trip to Northeast China. It was almost the end of the year, and many people were preparing to go home for the New Year. Before leaving, they began to express their experiences and reluctance online.

"The food was good, the fun was great, and it felt like there was no distance between people. I also felt much more cheerful."

"The only thing that makes me unhappy is that those anti-thunderbolt things on the Internet are actually posted by people from the south. I don't understand what kind of mentality they have."

"I just can't get enough of the bargains. Anyway, I think this trip was very successful. Besides the airfare, the other expenses were really not that big. I spent less than 10 yuan in 3000 days."

"I was ripped off twice, but the Cultural and Tourism Bureau shut down the store that same day and reimbursed me for my losses. I give a thumbs up to Erbin Cultural and Tourism Bureau."

"It's really great. They basically give feedback on the same day and can solve the problem. Thumbs up."

"I sat up in shock from my dying illness, and I was the clown! Brothers and sisters, I finished eating Boss Wang's iron pot stewed goose today, and I thought my trip to Northeast China was complete. But just as I was about to go to sleep, I suddenly sat up because I suddenly remembered that Boss Wang is the world champion dessert maker! I was actually satisfied with just a piece of snow cotton lava?! You also think this trip to Northeast China is complete?!"

The originally harmonious discussion atmosphere suddenly became quiet after this news came out.

But this tranquility was like the vacuum period after a nuclear bomb was dropped, and it exploded in just a short moment.

"Why didn't I realize this before you said this?"

"Turtle, I just realized it too. World champion! Isn't this like sitting on a mountain of gold and not even thinking of digging it up?"

"What on earth has blinded my eyes? Why has it prevented me from seeing the true nature of things?"

"It's an iron pot. It has to be an iron pot. Boss Wang's big iron pot is so eye-catching, and the stews he makes are so fragrant. Who would have thought he also has the cameo identity of a world champion in desserts?"

"Although, isn't that the Sino-French Dessert Competition? How did it become the world championship?"

"The world looks to France for desserts, and France looks to Boss Wang for desserts. So Boss Wang is the world champion. Is that a problem?"

"What you said does make sense. Let's stop talking nonsense and go to Boss Wang's Weibo account to ask for food. If you don't get a world-class dessert this time, you'll regret it when you leave!"

"Although your words seem like you're sending me away, there's nothing wrong with what you said. Brothers and sisters, our target is Boss Wang, so follow me!"

Wang Fan's face was covered with notes.

He seriously suspected that his second uncle and Zhuo Qianqian had colluded to deal with him, but he had no real evidence. After all, there were a lot of notes on Zhuo Qianqian's face.

Second Uncle was very proud of his win that night: "Older people are more experienced, right? You guys still need to practice more, hahahaha."

Wang Fan was unconvinced and said, "The spiciest gingers are Xilin Fire Ginger and Nanshan Ginger. New ginger is also much spicier than other old gingers."

Second Uncle was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and said, "You're obviously not convinced, kid? Come on, let's fight for another three hundred rounds, and I'll label you a special forces soldier."

Zhuo Qianqian quickly tried to smooth things over: "Uncle, it's already past 10 o'clock. You should go to bed. You have to get up early to exercise tomorrow morning. Let him taste the ginger to see if it's spicy tomorrow night."

Second Uncle snorted softly: "I'm giving Qianqian face, otherwise you won't be able to escape unscathed tonight."

After saying that, he went back to his room to wash up in a proud manner.

Wang Fan smiled and shook his head. He was absolutely right about being a little kid.

Zhuo Qianqian picked up her phone and took a look. Her eyes suddenly turned into crescents. "Boss, you've been criticized by those fans again. They say you're not kind. You've made them so obsessed with cooking with iron pots that they've forgotten you're a dessert master. I want you to make dessert tomorrow."

"Isn't it like the pot falls from the sky while you are sitting at home?"

Wang Fan took the phone with a helpless smile, and sure enough, he saw rows of petition messages.

"Although the iron pot stew is delicious, we should not be greedy. We still need to give it some sweetness."

"My best friend said that even the telephone poles in Northeast China are sweeter than Boss Wang. I'm the first one to disagree. Boss Wang, can you slap my best friend in the face with some dessert tomorrow?"

"Didn't you promise to give us fans more sweetness?"

"Boss Wang, when will you become the sweetest person in Erbin? How about tomorrow?"

"Dessert, dessert, dessert, both Chinese and Western are fine, can you let us leave with some sweetness?"

"I suggested that Boss Wang make a volcanic lava cake. It's not that I think our Chinese style isn't tasty, but it's simply too expensive at the cake shop. Over 100 yuan for a small piece, barely enough to fill a gap in your stomach, and there aren't many places that sell it."

"Oh, yes, yes! I want to eat this too. Can Boss Wang help make it for me?"

"That's great, that's great! It would be even better if we could settle the bill with Northeastern currency in the end!"

"I want to eat lava cake too. Please, Boss Wang, please fulfill this little wish of ours!"

Lava cake? It's not that I don't know how to make it, but it's a bit troublesome. It's a bit too much for so many people, right?

Zhuo Qianqian looked at Wang Fan with sparkling eyes: "Boss, I also want to try this lava cake."

"Okay, let's make it tomorrow. But to differentiate it from Durand's, I'll make an iceberg lava chocolate cake."

"Iceberg lava? What is that?"

Zhuo Qianqian's eyes started to sparkle when she heard this. For a foodie, the temptation of delicious food that she had never heard of was absolutely overwhelming.

"Come here and I'll tell you."

Wang Fan felt like a big bad wolf, luring an innocent little white rabbit.

The innocent little white rabbit now had only the question in his mind about what the iceberg and lava were like, and how they turned into lava. He was completely unprepared.

"Let's go, give it to me."

……

……

"In response to popular fans' requests, we are making Iceberg Lava Chocolate Cake today. Since it takes a long time to make, please come back after 1pm to taste and purchase."

The fans didn't get a reply from Wang Fan the whole night and felt quite disappointed, but when they woke up, they found a piece of news that had quickly become a hot topic.

After clicking on it and seeing the content, the feeling of surprise was like a volcanic eruption.

"Iceberg lava?"

“Is it different from Durand’s Lava Cake?”

"I don't know, but I think the iceberg and lava combined together are a bit cute." "Boss Wang really loves his fans. Needless to say, today's purchase starts at 10!"

"This thing shouldn't be cheap. Wouldn't you go bankrupt if you bought 10?"

"The things Boss Wang sells should be relatively affordable, right?"

"You can tell you're a new fan right now. Boss Wang sells great value products, but they're never cheap."

"No matter what! I'll buy ten of them even if I have to sell everything I have! No one has ever spoiled me like this in my life!"

"Even though we won't buy it until this afternoon, we should still do it in the morning, right? I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll go take a look."

"Go together."

Wang Fan has already arrived at the store. With the all-in-one machine, baking a cake is no problem.

Although the name of this iceberg lava chocolate sounds loud and high-end, it is actually very simple to make.

The most important thing is that the cost is very low. It costs less than 3 yuan to make one the size of a paper cup. Even if the best materials are used, the cost of one is only about 7 yuan. If one costs 28 yuan, it is not difficult to calculate how much you can make.

Making this dessert in Northeast China can also save space in the refrigerator, which saves some costs.

Of course, the materials must be good.

Wang Fan started making the biscuit base early in the morning.

Stir, stir, and stir.

Beat the butter until pale, then add powdered sugar and sea salt and continue beating.

After stirring evenly, add egg yolk and continue stirring.

Add the browned butter and continue stirring.

Mix the sifted low-gluten flour, cocoa powder and relatively fine hazelnut powder evenly and set them outside to cool down.

Custard sauce is similar. Put milk, corn starch, chocolate powder and egg liquid together and mix them.

This job is a piece of cake for my second uncle who has been grinding soy milk manually for half his life.

Wang Fan was already melting the chocolate in a double boiler. By the time the chocolate was melted, his second uncle's custard sauce had also been stirred.

The two people worked very fast. The most troublesome material weighing was a piece of cake for Wang Fan. In addition, the top-level temperature sensing even saved the need for a thermometer, which undoubtedly saved a lot of time.

When all steps run smoothly, it gives people a sense of beauty like flowing water.

"These days, watching a movie isn't as good as watching Boss Wang make desserts."

"I think so, except that it's a bit cold outside."

"It looks so silky smooth. I'm really curious how much this one costs. I wonder if my wallet can handle it. I've already spent over 5000 yuan on this trip."

"I have to hold on even if I can't. This store is gone forever. I searched for Iceberg Lava Chocolate yesterday, but there was no information at all."

Wang Fan had already brought the cooled biscuit liquid into the house.

Zhou Ruoqing and Liu Hehe, brother and sister, were already full of energy. Each of them held a round mold in their hands, staring at the trays of food with eager eyes.

Wang Fan took out a paper cup and explained, "Use this mold to press directly on it. Press out round cookies and place them inside the paper cup. Preheat the oven to 165 degrees Celsius and bake for 20 minutes. Then take it out and let it cool. Got it?"

The three of them said in unison: "We guarantee to complete the mission!"

After Wang Fan walked out, the three of them were very excited. Maybe there really is a bit of a destructive gene in people's bones. They were quite excited to use a mold to dig out big holes in a flat piece of frozen biscuit liquid.

Soon the frozen biscuit liquid was torn into pieces by the three people, and the table in the shop was filled with small paper cups.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

As soon as the paper cup was put into the oven, a rich aroma began to be released continuously. Even though this was just the simplest baked cookie, the rich aroma made the three of them exclaim in admiration.

"I used to think this kind of Western-style cake was so fancy, but after having Brother Wang make it, it seemed so simple."

"How can I claim to be the innate dessert saint? Remember Wang Ge's famous quote about Versailles? I'm actually a chef."

"Of course I remember that. That French girl's face almost turned green. Hahaha."

Zhou Ruoqing now has a feeling that if all workplaces in the world were like theirs, then probably no one would suffer from depression due to work.

With this kind of working atmosphere, even if Wang Fan offered a lower salary, she would definitely be willing to work there for the rest of her life.

The most important thing is, you can eat secretly!
After exchanging glances, the three of them smiled knowingly. The first batch of cookies had been baked, so they had to try out the saltiness.

Each person picked up a paper cup and turned it upside down, and a dark brown chocolate cookie fell into their hands.

The chocolate biscuits were about the size of the bottom of a wine bottle, and they were still warm in the hand. The rich chocolate cream aroma made the three of them almost drool.

The three of them had no consciousness of stealing the food, and they took the biscuits and showed them off to Wang Fan. Wang Fan smiled and said nothing, and nudged Zhuo Qianqian with his butt to let her go in and have a taste.

Then the three people who were stealing food became five, and my second uncle followed them in.

Zhou Ruoqing usually eats a lot of biscuits. For people who often work overtime, biscuits are undoubtedly the most convenient and filling snack.

The cookie she has now is completely different from the ones she had eaten before.

It doesn't have a particularly crisp texture. It breaks when you break it with your hands, and there is no sound.

When you put it in your mouth, you can smell the rich chocolate flavor.

When chewing, you can clearly feel a little bit of granularity, the sweet taste is mixed with the bitterness of chocolate, and the little bit of refreshing nutty aroma is simply killing you.

"Wow, what's the point of calling this Iceberg Lava Chocolate? This cookie alone could be sold directly, it's so delicious."

Liu Hehe's exclamation was unanimously agreed by the other four. Even his second uncle said, "I didn't like cookies or desserts before, but this is really delicious, especially the hazelnut flavor. I can tell it's a Harbin specialty right away."

Zhou Ruoqing exclaimed, "I usually eat a lot of cookies, including many famous brands. Apart from anything else, nothing tastes better than this. The balance of sweet, bitter, and salty is so exquisite. If I can eat such delicious cookies while working overtime, I wouldn't mind working more."

Zhuo Qianqian laughed and said, "Then Sister Qing, just pray that no company asks the boss to prepare employee meals, otherwise you will be begging to work overtime every day."

Zhou Ruoqing savored the taste that had not yet dissipated from her mouth and said very seriously, "No one would be willing to leave."
