Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 68 Queen’s Crisps

 After the exciting adventure, Malu returned to the sofa in the rental house carrying a large bag of freshly harvested meat.

I have to say that the ingredients this time are a bit special.

Although the previous two-headed jackal, thousand-tooth sand bream, and lava monitor lizard are also very strange, they are basically still within the category of animals.

 This time, the Spiny-legged Whip Spider Queen feels closer to an insect, although strictly speaking, a spider is not an insect.

 Because the definition of insects in nature is that they have three parts: head, thorax and abdomen, six legs and a pair of wings.

The spider’s head and thorax are integrated into one body, and it also has 8 legs, but no wings, so it is excluded from the class Insecta.

 But in terms of taste, the two are actually quite close.

Ma Lu heard that there seems to be a tradition of eating spiders in Southeast Asia, and there are similar dishes in Yunnan.

The ethnic minorities there will deep-fry the spotted beetle and the striped golden spider, and also grill the large-footed spider. It is said that the taste is not bad.

And the protein content of spiders or insects is very high. Because they are far away from mammals, the viruses they carry are difficult to infect each other. They are actually a very high-quality healthy food.

 It’s just that it’s still difficult for most people to accept it psychologically.

Hence, Malu first eliminated some dishes that seemed to have too strong a sensory impact.

 Finally, he pointed to one of the dishes called [Queen's Crisps] and said, "What is this?"

“If you’re asking about the taste, it’s probably somewhere between pot-roasted meat and potato chips.”

“Oh, that sounds very good, and the taste index is ★★☆, just like the giant lizard sausage. Can you make one for me to try first?”

 Queen's Crisps does not require many ingredients, and since I started setting up a stall, I have a lot of various ingredients and condiments at home, so I have just what I need for the trial.

So Lao Wang put on his apron, took a piece of whip spider leg meat from Malu, and walked directly into the kitchen.

 He first cut the whip spider leg meat into 3 cm thick slices and wrapped them in potato starch.

Ma Lu has lived with Lao Wang for so long and has seen him handle a lot of ingredients. Although he has never cooked the food himself, he has gradually understood some basic cooking processes and was curious when he saw this.

 “Don’t you need to remove the fishy smell from the meat this time?”

“No, compared to mammals, the meat of spiders and insects has almost no fishy smell.”

As he spoke, Lao Wang picked up the rolling pin and began to pound the flour-coated meat slices. He used both hands together and struck at a very fast speed. After about a minute, the meat slices became almost as big as the chopping board.

At the same time, its thickness has also become extremely thin, reaching about 1 mm, almost as thin as paper.

 Starch molecules are beaten and embedded into the fibers of the spider meat, and the final ratio of powder to meat is fixed at 2:8.

 Lao Wang then cut the thin meat pie into small pieces with a kitchen knife and started to heat the pan.

 Pour soybean oil into it, wait until the oil temperature reaches 30%, then put the meat slices into the pan.

After a while, the skin of the meat slices showed a slight golden color, and Lao Wang quickly picked them up to control the oil.

 Then continue to keep the fire low and fry it again. When it comes out of the pan, the golden color on the surface of the meat slices has become darker, and the appearance looks similar to potato chips.

Ma Lu took a piece and put it into his mouth. It was really crispy when he took a bite, and because it was made of meat, it tasted more delicious than potato chips.

Lao Wang is right. Compared with previous animal meat, spider meat has almost no fishy smell, has a high protein content, and tastes like chewing egg yolk.

Ma Lu took a piece with the intention of trying it, but he couldn't stop eating it. Then Lao Wang chopped onions, tomatoes, green peppers and a small handful of coriander, stirred them together, poured lime juice on them, and added a small amount of salt to make a fresh dipping sauce. Pour it on the Queen Crisps and let the latter It tastes fresher and more refreshing.

Ma Lu took down a large plate in less than 3 minutes.

Then he wiped his mouth and said, "Let's make this. The portion can be smaller. This time the protein content is high, so the price has to go up a bit. Let's set it at...18 per serving. I'll buy the ingredients now."

"good."

Ma Lu went to the farmer's market to buy goods, but he didn't expect to be recognized when he parked his car.

An old woman carrying two bundles of green onions and a bag of ribs passed by him. She suddenly stopped and pointed at him and said excitedly.

“It’s you, boy, I know you, your sausage can breathe fire! I saw it on Douyin!”

"Well…"

As the aunt said, she took out her mobile phone again and prepared to scan the code, "Just in time, let me have a taste of your sausage."

“Ah, sorry, if you have seen the video about us, you should know that the person responsible for cooking is another person.” Ma Lu said, “And it is not our business hours now.”

“What are you talking about? There are no business hours for roadside stalls. You can just stop and cook. Come on, I haven’t had breakfast yet.” The aunt persisted.

 “It’s really not possible, I don’t even have the raw materials now.” Ma Lu spread his hands.

“This is a farmer’s market. Young man, just buy whatever you need.” The aunt said again, “In this case, you can give me a discount, and I will also make a video and send it to you online to promote it.”

 “No, no, no, we’ve had enough publicity now, I’m actually starting to think it’s a bit too much.”

Ma Lu was not in Versailles, but inspired by his feelings.

 In the Internet era, the spread speed of a hot spot is often exponential.

At first, Malu just wanted to open up the market with the flame effects of monitor lizard sausages, so that the unruly juniors and girls could continue to make money obediently.

 It may be difficult for college students to accept that a sausage is sold for 16, but a sausage that can breathe fire, like a cat that can do backflips, is given a special meaning beyond itself.

According to Shen Yue's incomplete statistics, since the flame grilled sausage went on sale, Shehua Xiaoshi of the Ancient Poetry and Literature Society has received more than 80 volcanic grilled sausages, half of which were even sent anonymously.

Xiao Shi couldn't find anyone to quit even if she wanted to. Even Shen Yue had a great time eating grilled sausages in the past week, and the hiccups were all like the smell of grilled sausages.

This is just the suffering of unrequited love. Those lovers who are passionately in love are even more resistant to such fancy and fashionable gadgets.

 If you can’t go to the Greek Peninsula to see the Aegean Sea, why can’t you go to Ximen to buy volcanic sausage?

 If you love her, just buy it! justbuyit!

As a result, the volcanic sausage became popular not only within the Hangzhou University of Science and Technology, but also quickly spread outside the campus.

The most popular video has exceeded 200,000 likes and 120,000 retweets, making it into the local hot list, ranking between "A man won 200 million by buying lottery tickets for 100,000 yuan" and "The Federal Reserve raises interest rates again."

  Then a local food blogger with 5 million followers came to visit the store, made a video, and posted it on several platforms.

The shooting and editing techniques of the team behind him are obviously more mature, and the arrangement is more interesting. They know how to capture the audience's attention to the maximum extent. Coupled with the traffic that the big blogger himself brings, the heat of the volcano grilling sausages is strong. Another section was pulled out hard.

Since then, Malu has never worried about attracting customers, but at the same time, he has also begun to experience some of the side effects of becoming famous.
