Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Beef Sauce

"Sure," Sun Bingnan was the first to respond, "I’ve always heard Lanlan say how delicious your beef sauce is, I’ve never had a chance to try it yet."

Lin Chuxia smiled, directed people to light the fire and set the pan, and got to work.

Rendering the oil for the beef sauce is crucial.

A good half pot of oil was poured into the big pot, the oil was heated, and then in proportion, coriander, green onions, and onions were added, followed by the spices: star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, and finally her secret spice mix.

In no time, a fragrant aroma filled the air.

Once everything was fried to a golden color, the spices were scooped out, and the oil was ready.

While the oil was being rendered, Lin Chuxia had already instructed Ma Yongli and Su Wensong to process the beef into small granules.

Now they poured the beef into the oil to fry off the moisture.

This process was quite slow and the oil splattered from time to time, so it was easy to get burned if one wasn’t careful.

Pang Yongli stepped in very considerately and took the large spoon from Lin Chuxia’s hand, "Mr. Lin, just say the word, and I’ll do it."

This job was actually something Lin Chuxia intended to train Pang Yongli to do later, so allowing him to do it now was perfect for teaching him.

She directed him to stir the beef in the oil while keeping an eye on the fire.

What kind of oil temperature was just right, approximately how long the beef should be fried, and what it should look like.

Once the beef was almost done and the aroma even more intense, she had him scoop it out.

Then came the main event; she poured minced garlic, minced ginger, and minced hot peppers into the hot oil, cooked until the aroma was released, and then added the fried beef granules, soybean paste, sweet flour sauce, and salt, continuing to simmer.

"Damn, this is way too fragrant."

Sun Bingnan had been tending the fire, eyeing the pot full of red oil beef sauce, and swallowing his saliva several times.

"Just give me this sauce for lunch today, I don’t need any other dishes, I could eat five buns."

What Su Wensong saw, however, was the market potential once such beef sauce was mass-produced.

He had tasted the sauce from the Old Food Factory before, and even without tasting their own, he could assert that it definitely couldn’t compare to theirs from Xiyang.

Seeing that it was almost ready, Lin Chuxia threw in a big handful of sesame seeds into the pot for Pang Yongli to mix well.

"It’s ready."

Lin Chuxia personally dished up a bowl and put it on the table, and had Su Wensong arrange various sauces bought from the marketplace, including the one from the Old Food Factory.

"Come and try it out. See how our sauce differs from the others and if there’s anything that needs to be improved."

Sun Bingnan couldn’t wait to sample them with his chopsticks, and the others picked up their chopsticks too.

To clearly distinguish the quality of their own beef sauce, they tasted theirs last.

Each person would express their opinion after tasting each sauce.

When they got to the last one, all were impressed. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"The meat is tender and chewy, with a rich aroma," Pang Yongli commented.

"They’re all spicy, but I felt something was lacking in the previous ones, our beef sauce combines spiciness with aroma, and the scent of the oil is most pronounced," Su Wensong also said.

Finally, it was Sun Bingnan’s turn. Everyone waited for a while but didn’t hear him comment, only to see him happily munching on more with his chopsticks.
