Chapter 506: Boss
After repeating the process more than a dozen times, he finally stopped.
Everyone was very curious, wondering what Su Chen was doing.
They even thought he was just showing off.
But witnessing this scene, Chef Liu's eyes lit up.
He understood.
He finally understood why Su Chen's fried rice tasted so much better than his.
The reason was right here.
Fried rice is generally made with leftover rice.
Because such rice, due to the evaporation of moisture, becomes a bit hard, creating a better texture when fried.
However, after sitting overnight, the rice grains stick together.
Therefore, before frying, you need to stir with a spoon to separate the rice grains.
But no matter how much you stir, some grains will still stick together.
To save time, it's naturally impossible to separate each grain individually.
What Su Chen did was to completely separate the stuck rice grains in the bowl.
At the beginning, the rice grains flew up in clumps.
But by the end, they had separated into individual grains.
After completely scattering the rice grains, Su Chen picked up the stirred eggs and poured them directly into the rice.
Then he began to stir quickly.
This continued for over a minute, until the egg mixture and the rice grains were completely integrated.
All the rice grains turned golden yellow.
"I understand, I understand, I finally understand!" Witnessing this, Chef Liu was so excited he was at a loss for words.
It turns out, the real gourmet fried rice is not about frying the egg first or the rice first!
But... frying them together!
However, not by adding them to the pan at the same time, but by mixing the egg and rice perfectly before frying.
Then, in just over a minute, Su Chen had finished this serving of fried rice.
He added very little ingredients, just a small amount of salt, a tiny bit of soy sauce, no MSG or chicken essence, and then sprinkled some green onions, producing a golden fried rice.
Instantly, a delicious aroma spread throughout the kitchen.
It instantly masked all other smells.
"This is the flavor! This is it!" Chef Liu excitedly grabbed a handful with his hand and fed it into his mouth.
It tasted exactly like the one he had before.
"Is it really that delicious?" One of Lin Xi's female classmates, seeing how excited Chef Liu was, was somewhat skeptical and scooped up a small spoonful into her mouth.
Her eyes instantly widened.
"This, this is so delicious!"
Others also tried it and found it indeed very tasty.
Finally, even Mia tried a bit.
She had to admit.
This was the tastiest fried rice she had ever eaten!
She felt even more unhappy.
She had called Chef Liu over to make Su Chen look bad and throw him out.
But instead, Su Chen had ended up stealing the show again.
Especially, Su Chen's movements while frying rice were incredibly cool.
"EVE, you are so lucky to have a husband who can cook so well!"
"EVE, where did you find such a husband, do you have more like him? Introduce one to me."
"Yes, yes, Su Chen, do you have any brothers or something?"
"..."
Originally, those female classmates who were helping Mia suppress Lin Xi also began to change their attitudes.
They were genuinely envious.
Nowadays, a man who can cook is a rare creature.
And not just cook, but cook so deliciously.
That is even rarer.
How wonderful it would be if they had a husband who could cook such tasty meals.
"Cough cough!" Seeing everyone's attitudes changing, Mia couldn't help but cough and said: "It's just a fried rice, what's so great about it."
Everyone immediately reacted.
Mia was right.
Today's society is very pragmatic.
Everything is all about money.
Without money, what's the use of your food tasting good?
As long as you have money, what kind of chef can't you hire?
Perhaps Chef Liu really wasn't as good as Su Chen.
But what of it?
As long as there's money, they can completely find a chef many levels higher than Chef Liu to cook for them.
Obviously, rather than having a husband who can cook, they would much prefer their husbands to be rich.
Just then, a sound of high heels clacking against the floor arose.
Then, all the waitstaff in the kitchen instantly perked up, standing straight and respectfully watching the figure approaching slowly.
This was also a woman in a uniform, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a delicate appearance and a dignified air.
Above her lips, there was a small mole.
"Hello, boss." All the kitchen staff bowed in unison to the woman.
That revealed the woman's identity.
It was the owner of the restaurant!
Su Chen was slightly surprised.
This restaurant, while not the best in Jiangdu City, was definitely top-tier.
Certainly ranked in the top three.
The woman capable of running such a large restaurant was definitely not an ordinary person.
Despite her seemingly humble appearance.
The woman nodded to everyone, her face wearing a comforting smile.
Then, she walked straight towards Su Chen.
"Hello, my name is Ouyang Lingxiao, are you the man Xiao Jin mentioned who can make fried rice of international quality?" Clearly, Ouyang Lingxiao had already heard about Su Chen from Chef Liu.
Heard about the story of fried rice.
"Hello, my name is Su Chen." Su Chen nodded.
"Then I'll call you Mr. Su. Mr. Su, I was wondering if you are interested in working as a chef at our restaurant. If you are willing, I'm ready to offer you a high salary." Ouyang Lingxiao spoke.
"This..." Su Chen naturally could not agree.
However, before he had a chance to decline, Ouyang Lingxiao cut him off, saying, "Mr. Su, don't rush to refuse, please listen to my terms first, and then consider whether you want to stay, is that okay?"
Su Chen nodded.
Although whatever conditions Ouyang Lingxiao offered, he would refuse.
After all, although his cooking was indeed delicious, he only really excelled in fried rice.
Other dishes might not even compare to Chef Liu.
A chef who only knows how to make one dish, can that even be called a chef?
"First, if you work in our restaurant, you only need to cook one dish, and that is the fried rice."
Su Chen was slightly taken aback.
This woman, seems really impressive.
