Chapter 399: Pigeon

Jiang Feng has two sets of eight crabs at home.

Although Jiang Feng highly admires the violent dismantling method of gnawing crabs from his aunt in most cases, in a few cases, such as when he wants to take crab meat to cook, eight pieces of crab is a good choice.

The eight pieces of crab were founded by the skilled craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, and the eight pieces of crabs at that time were: hammer, upsetting, tongs, shovel, spoon, fork, scraper, needle, and now it is called: waist round hammer, small square table, tweezers, long-handled axe, spoon, long-handled fork, scraper, needle.

Wu Minqi taught Ji Xia that she didn't need to use eight whole crabs to take crab meat, after all, their purpose in taking crab meat was to use the meat inside the crab to enter the dish, not to make the crab die well and leave a whole corpse. If you really use the eight crabs completely, just put the crabs on a small square table, use round-headed scissors to cut off two large claws and eight crab legs one by one, gently knock the waist hammer around the crab shell, and then use a long-handled axe to split the back shell and navel This first step takes a long time, and it only takes a few seconds to break it by hand.

Sometimes it should be solved violently, and it has to be solved violently.

Under the leadership of Wu Minqi, Ji Xia used tweezers, long-handled forks, scraping blades, and the crabs in his hands to knock and beat from time to time, and took out the crab meat and crab roe little by little, and put them into the small bowl in front of him.

By the time Jiang Feng had finished processing the three oranges, the small bowl in front of Wu Minqi and Ji Xia had already filled a lot of crab meat and crab roe.

The reason why Cao Guixiang's crab stuffed orange is C-grade is because she forgot the time when making it, which caused the orange to be oversteamed, but before steaming, the ratio of orange meat, crab meat, crab roe, fragrant snow wine and rice vinegar, Cao Guixiang came according to Master Peng's standards, it can be said that as long as Jiang Feng can accurately grasp the timing when steaming, it should not be a problem to make B-grade crab stuffed oranges.

Jiang Feng entered the kitchen to deal with the crab meat, the door of the kitchen was open, and what he was doing Wu Minqi and Ji Xia could see. Wu Minqi saw that Jiang Feng was skillful, and he didn't even hesitate at all when he took the materials, it didn't look like he did it for the first time after watching the online tutorial, and he felt a little strange later.

"Feng Feng, where are you watching the tutorial?" asked Wu Minqi.

"It's a tutorial that I searched casually on the Internet, and after reading it, I thought this dish was quite interesting, so I asked Mr. Xu. Jiang Feng said, he didn't lie, he really sent a WeChat message to ask Xu Cheng.

The heat of crab stuffed orange in the tutorial is wrong, he always has to ask people who know how to eat to roughly estimate what the appropriate heat is.

Jiang Feng scooped up a small spoonful of fragrant snow wine, carefully shook it into the crab meat twice, shook it in for most of the spoonful, and felt that the amount was about the same, and then added white vinegar as concocted.

This method of adding wine and vinegar is his unique habit, and he was once complained by Comrade Wang Xiulian that it looks like a hot spoon.

As soon as Xu Cheng was mentioned, Wu Minqi's attention was instantly diverted, who called the famous pigeon king Mr. Xu Cheng in the food industry, and the Zhiwei magazine that he promised to add to it has not been published yet. Seeing that half of the second half of the year has passed, Xu Cheng only needs to pigeons for two more months to successfully drop this issue of the magazine.

"Did Mr. Xu Cheng say when 'Zhiwei' would be published?" asked Wu Minqi.

He said he was going to combine this issue with the one originally scheduled for December into a special issue, the thickened kind. Jiang Feng said.

The implication is: yes, that's right, Lao Tzu pigeon.

Wu Minqi didn't fluctuate in her heart, and even felt that it was quite normal.

"But-" Jiang Feng changed his words and told Wu Minqi a good news, "Boss Han told me that Mr. Xu doesn't seem to have thought about what to use for the cover of the joint magazine. And Mr. Xu has been busy lately, so he probably doesn't have much time to take care of these things, so ......"

"Maybe the original cover?" Wu Minqi was a little incredulous.

You know, the original cover of the magazine that was dropped by the pigeon was Taifeng Building.

If the cover of the special issue was Taifeng Building, it would be like a huge pie smashed down from the sky, and no one would smash it on Jiang Feng's face.

The cover of "Zhiwei" magazine has never used a restaurant, in the past, it used to use retired celebrity chefs, or simply take Xu Cheng's own personal photo as the cover, if the retouching is a little better, people who don't know how to see Zhiwei magazine may even think of it as a fashion magazine.

If the special issue in December really takes Tai Fung Lou as the cover, Tai Fung Lou will definitely become popular all over the world overnight, as long as you are mixed in the culinary world, you will know the name of Tai Fung Lou, Comrade Wang Xiulian wants to double the price of dishes several times, and gourmets from all over the world will rush to Tai Fung Lou in an endless stream.

"I don't think it's possible. Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi spoke in unison.

"But I guess there will be a column, and there should be photo close-ups. Jiang Feng calmly analyzed.

"It's possible. Wu Minqi agreed.

Ji Xia finished taking out the crab legs in front of him, looked up at Wu Minqi and then turned his head to look at Jiang Feng, what they just said Ji Xia basically didn't understand a word. What is the taste, what is the joint issue, what is the cover, what is this Mr. and that Mr., it completely involves Ji Xia's knowledge blind spot.

Suddenly, Ji Xia smelled the smell of wine.

Before, because she was holding a crab in her hand, the smell around her was completely covered by the domineering smell of the crab, but now she suddenly looked up and smelled the smell of fragrant snow wine.

"Master, what kind of wine did you add?" Ji Xia asked.

"Fragrant snow wine. Jiang Feng said, thought about it and explained again, "This is a kind of double wine, the fragrance is very strong, and it has the sweetness of rice wine, so it is very suitable for cooking." ”

"Your master's main purpose in making crab orange and wine is to remove the fishy smell of crab meat, just like cooking wine in most cases, most of the time it is to remove the fishy smell of fish and meat. And this fragrant snow wine that your master is using now can not only remove the fishy, but also enhance the fragrance and sweetness, Chinese food pays attention to the color and flavor, the location is one aspect, the presentation is good-looking, the fragrance is attractive are very important, many dishes are fragrant when the lid is uncovered because of the aroma of wine. Wu Minqi explained with a smile, "You are still practicing basic skills, and you can't touch it in the pot." But there are other things you can learn more, such as plating, and your master's plating is notoriously good-looking. ”

With Wu Minqi helping him explain, Jiang Feng felt that he didn't need to speak, so he filled the three crab stuffed oranges in turn and steamed them in the pot.

Jiang Feng estimated that it would be almost enough to steam for 6 minutes.

A few minutes passed quickly, Jiang Feng almost pinched his watch to check the time, and as soon as the 6 minutes were up, he immediately turned off the fire and uncovered the lid and served the three oranges on the table.

Ji Xia was very curious about eating this kind of fruit dish for the first time, seeing that Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi didn't move, and he was embarrassed to be the first to uncover the orange, so he could only watch with his eyes.

What Ji Xia didn't know, Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi were waiting for her to be the first to make a move.

As we all know, Jiang Feng has a great chance of making a new dish and overturning it for the first time.

The entire Taifeng Building may not know about it in Ji Xia.

Facing the crab stuffed orange in front of him, Jiang Feng actually didn't know the bottom of his heart, after all, it was the first time he was making fruit dishes, and he was not familiar with the ingredients, so he didn't know how long the oranges should be steamed to be the right heat.

Of course, the main reason why Jiang Feng didn't know the bottom in his heart was that the few big words on the crab stuffed orange reminded him that this time eighty percent overturned.

【Crab Stuffed Orange Grade C】

Obviously there is a level of B-level dishes, but only C-level dishes are made, isn't it just a rollover?

"Ahem, Xia Xia, don't you taste it?" Jiang Feng asked.

The master had spoken, and Ji Xia couldn't wait to open the orange and let out a "wow".

In fact, it's not much amazing, crab meat, crab roe, and orange flesh are mixed together and float on top of the orange juice, the orange is very clean by Jiang Feng, and there is no residual flesh on the skin, because of the crab roe, the whole orange looks watery and very crystalline.

But a dish in oranges is enough to amaze a 16-year-old girl who has never seen much of the world.

Ji Xia picked up the spoon.

Jiang Feng held his breath.

Wu Minqi stared at Ji Xia.

Ji Xia scooped up a spoonful of crab stuffed oranges, crab roe, crab meat, orange flesh, orange juice, accompanied by the aroma of wine and vinegar.

One bite to wrap up.

I didn't chew it, I swallowed it directly.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Feng asked.

"It's delicious!" Ji Xia affirmed.

It didn't look like he was deliberately pretending to be like this to comfort Jiang Feng.

"It's sour, it's a little sweet, it's delicious. Ji Xia said.

Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi also picked up the spoon and began to taste the crab stuffed orange in front of them.

Entrance.

Jiang Feng almost couldn't control his facial expression.

Sure enough, 6 minutes is still a bit long.

He felt as if the oranges were a little boiled.

How did Ji Xia not blush and say the word delicious with a sincere face.

Jiang Feng stared at the crab stuffed orange in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Wu Minqi looked at Ji Xia and fell into deep thought.

Ji Xia was eating crab stuffed oranges, one bite after another, and it seemed that he really thought this crab stuffed orange was delicious.

Jiang Feng began to wonder if he had accepted an apprentice with a taste problem.

Suddenly, Wu Minqi discovered the crux of the problem.

"Xia Xia, have you ever eaten oranges before?" Wu Minqi asked.

Ji Xia nodded: "I ate it once, and one year during the Chinese New Year, my grandmother bought oranges, one for each person." ”

"What about crabs?" Wu Minqi then asked.

"I've never eaten anything like this, and all I eat during the Chinese New Year is sea crabs. Ji Xia said.

Wu Minqi and Jiang Feng immediately understood that Ji Xia had never eaten oranges much, so as long as they were oranges, they thought they were delicious, and they had nothing to do with crab stuffed oranges at all.

Wu Minqi silently moved the crab stuffed orange in front of him in front of Ji Xia, and said with a smile: "Since Xia Xia likes to eat, eat more, Sister Wu's will also give you this." ”

"Sister Wu, don't you want to eat?" Ji Xia asked.

"I don't like crabs. Wu Minqi said with a smile.

Jiang Feng was taken aback, he didn't expect this operation to be possible, and immediately pushed the orange in front of Ji Xia, revealing the smile of a good master who loves his apprentice.

"If you like it, you can eat one more, and go up early to rest after eating, Master still has crabs and oranges here, Master can make it himself if you want to eat it." Jiang Feng said.

"Thank you, Master!"
