Chapter 304: Cantonese Cuisine Chef Xie Hailong [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
When Xu Zhuo came to the back kitchen, there was a forty-five or sixteen-year-old cook waiting for him at the door.
It is estimated that the middle-aged man had already talked to this side on the phone just now, and he saw Xu Zhuo with a smile on his face: "I want to learn Chaoshan rice noodles, right? It just so happens that I am from Chaoshan, let's go, I'll show you a demonstration." ”
The waiter whispered to Xu Zhuo: "This is the chef of our restaurant, Xie Hailong, who was dug by our boss with a lot of money, and he is the apprentice of Cantonese cuisine master Zheng Guangyao." ”
Cheng Guangyao?
This is not the same Cantonese chef as the old man and Yu Peiyong, who is also the chef of the state banquet, in the mid-eighties, he founded Zheng Yuelou Restaurant in Yangcheng, and now it has faintly become the first name of traditional Cantonese cuisine in Yangcheng.
And Zheng Guangyao is known as the first person to promote Cantonese cuisine, and his apprentices are all over the major restaurants in Lingnan, and even became the signboard of major Cantonese restaurants for a time.
As long as Zheng Guangyao's apprentice is in charge, the food will not be unpalatable, which is almost the consensus of the old Yangcheng people.
When Xu Zhuo went to Yangcheng, he also went to Zheng Yuelou to eat, but because he didn't make an appointment in advance, he didn't taste the craftsmanship of Zheng Guangyao's personal disciples.
I really didn't expect to meet Zheng Guangyao's apprentice in the Central Plains.
And I also had the opportunity to learn to make Chaoshan rice noodles with him, which was really unexpected.
The two chatted for a while, but they didn't expect Xie Hailong to know Xu Wenhai.
When he took Xu Zhuo into the kitchen, he also recalled the last time he met Xu Wenhai in Yangcheng.
"At that time, when your father and your mother went to visit my master in Yangcheng, it happened to be our birthday celebration for the old man, and we met. When I came to the Central Plains this time, I also had the intention of reuniting with your father, after all, this is his territory. ”
He admired the reputation of Xu's restaurant in the provincial capital, but Xu Zhuo knew that he was just saying this for modesty, and Zheng Guangyao's achievements were much brighter than his own old man.
Entering the back kitchen, Xu Zhuo found that this kitchen was really big, more spacious than the back kitchen of Xu's restaurant, and a group of apprentice-like people were busy making all kinds of refreshments.
Xie Hailong took Xu Zhuo to a corner, this is the place where rice rolls are made, and all kinds of Xiguan rice rolls are made here.
"The characteristic of Chaoshan rice noodles is that the ingredients are rich and flavorful, and it just so happens that the ingredients we prepared today are quite sufficient, so let's start here. ”
After saying that, he brought the finished rice milk over.
The so-called rice noodles are actually rice milk steamed with various ingredients and poured with a secret sauce to feast on them.
Because the steamed rice milk is tender and smooth, like pig intestines, it is named rice rolls.
Xie Hailong's hands are very sharp, he first caught water in the pot and boiled it on a high fire, then took a small bowl, first beat an egg in it, put shrimp, oysters, minced pork, chopped mushrooms, diced sausages and other ingredients in it, stirred evenly and put it aside for later use.
Then he took out two one-foot square, drawer-like tin plates from the cabinet, and there were handles next to them.
Xie Hailong cleaned the two plates first, then wiped them dry, brushed a layer of oil on them, scooped a spoonful of rice milk and poured it in, turned the iron plate, so that the rice milk was evenly spread on the bottom of the plate, and then poured the ingredients in the bowl just now, put the iron plate in the pot and began to steam.
Another tin plate is also made in the same way, topped with rice milk and sprinkled with egg mixture.
After this was done, Xie Hailong lifted the lid of the pot, looked at the steaming of the plate in the pot, pinched two lettuce and a small handful of bean sprouts from the vegetable basket next to him and threw them in.
Cover the pot again, and after about half a minute, he lifted the lid again, and he was not afraid of being hot, so he took out the iron plate floating in the pot casually.
Throw another tin plate into it, cover the pot and continue steaming.
After finishing these, Xie Hailong held a scraper in one hand and gently cut it along a corner of the plate, scraping the almost transparent rice rolls at the bottom of the plate, like stacking baggage, wrapping the rice rolls and ingredients.
Then he used a scraper to take out the rice rolls in the iron plate, put them on the empty plate on the side, scooped a spoonful of the juice with a spoon and poured it on, and handed it to Xu Zhuo with the plate.
"Try our authentic Chaoshan cheong fun and see how it tastes. ”
Xu Zhuo was not polite and took it from him.
However, Boss Xu didn't try it, but was reminiscing about the prompt sound sent by the system just now.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully stimulating the [Attentive and Learning] skill and obtaining the entry-level cooking professional skill - Chaoshan Cheong Roll Making (Shantou Taste). ”
Xu Zhuo really forgot about the stubble of concentrating on learning, looking at the time, the skill of concentrating on learning the day before yesterday had been cooled down, but he didn't think of this stubble.
But fortunately, he didn't learn to cut noodles, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to learn the skills of this rice noodles.
Xu Zhuo is very happy now, not only because he learned the skills unintentionally, but more importantly, with Xie Hailong, if he wants to learn Cantonese cuisine in the future, he no longer has to think about it by himself.
He held the Chaoshan rice noodles in his hand, looked at Xie Hailong and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xie, I have figured it out, if you have any questions when you turn around, I will come to you directly." ”
Xie Hailong was a little surprised: "It's okay to read it once?" Come, you make a copy and I'll take a look." ”
Xu Zhuo put down the plate in his hand, took over the work in Xie Hailong's hands, and really made a Chaoshan rice noodles, this talent for learning simply stunned Xie Hailong.
"Your parents keep saying you don't like to cook and you don't have any talent, that's ...... I was stupid and took it seriously, but I didn't expect the two of them to pretend to be forced. ”
"It's incredible that you can make cheong fun just by looking at it once. If this talent is not good, then there are few people in the country who can do it. ”
Xu Zhuo added Xie Hailong's WeChat, made two more portions of rice noodles and brought them out.
He walked up to Yu Keke and put the plate in front of the little girl: "This is what I made, taste it, and see if it suits your appetite." ”
The little girl stared at Xu Zhuo with wide eyes: "What did you do? You only went in for a few minutes?
But seeing that Xu Zhuo is so sure, the little girl will believe it.
The more powerful her own man is, the more face she has, such a high talent, go back and take it home, and kill her father's arrogance.
Xu Zhuo was so happy at this time, he was not in the mood to taste what rice noodles tasted like, he just wanted to go back and make it for everyone to taste as soon as possible.
After he and Yu Keke finished eating, he went to say goodbye to Xie Hailong, but he didn't expect Xie Hailong to wash the two square iron plates he had just used and put them in a bag.
"Xu Zhuo, this thing is estimated to be difficult for you to buy here, I will give you this set of tools, when do you want to learn Cantonese cuisine, just come to me." ”
Yes, there is one more person who wants to teach him how to cook.
Boss Xu sighed slightly, we also want to keep a low profile, but our strength doesn't allow it!
