Chapter 278: Young Shallot (4)
Qin Guisheng, who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time, saw that his master was finally going to be a sunflower duck, so he hurriedly stepped forward to watch and learn from a close distance.
The food industry has always had a saying that the south is sweet and the north is salty, and Tanjia cuisine is an official cuisine, which theoretically belongs to northern cuisine, but Tanjia cuisine is often half sugar and half salt in cooking, so as to enhance freshness with sweetness and fragrance with salt. The dishes are moderately tasted and are enjoyed by both the north and the south.
The founder of Tan Jiacai is the Bangyan of Tongzhi for 13 years, and later entered the Beijing Normal Hanlin Academy as an official, so Tan Jiacai is also known as Bangyan Cai. Tanjia cuisine is a combination of Cantonese cuisine and Beijing cuisine, the selection of materials is fine, the knife work is fine, its unique clear soup is even more exquisite, the soup is clear as water, the color is light as tea, and it is also very particular about seasoning.
Chef Peng will find a good piece of ingredients to steam and rearrange the plate.
When serving, the skin of the duck meat is facing downward, and the ham and mushrooms are sandwiched in the middle to form a circle, and the central part is slightly raised.
After arranging, add chicken broth, salt, soy sauce, and sugar to taste, and put it in a steamer again to steam until it tastes good.
Watching the sunflower duck steaming in the steamer, Master Peng took another look at the heat of the large black cucumber and slightly adjusted the heat to a lower level.
Immediately afterwards, Master Peng went to fry the fish that had been marinated by Cao Guixiang before, and when the oil was burned to 89 hot, the fish was put into the pot and fried until golden brown.
Almost at the same time as the fish came out of the pot, the sunflower duck on the other side was almost steamed, and Master Peng asked Peng Changping to put the fried spiced fish into the pot and stir-fry, and make the sunflower duck sauce by himself.
The sauce of the sunflower duck is somewhat similar to the eight treasure chestnut pigeons, both of which are prepared with the original soup, and the original soup is mixed with Taibai water to make the sauce, and the steamed juice is poured on the sunflower duck together.
In the end, Master Peng did a very interesting thing.
He cut the boiled carrots into small rectangular pieces, sprinkled them with salt, wine and chicken fat and tossed them to taste, then crossed them into an x-shape and arranged them in a circle along the plate of sunflower ducks.
When you look at it this way, it's really like a sunflower.
"Master, this carrot is for decoration, why are you still seasoning it?" Qin Guisheng was a little puzzled.
"As long as the guests are served, there is no decoration, and the carrots are mixed with chicken fat and wine, and then eaten with sunflower duck, which is just right. Master Peng said.
"Don't be idle, there are oranges there, go to practice with your junior sister, just one of you each, taste it yourself and see what you make after you finish it." Master Peng commanded.
Qin Guisheng is not interested in crab stuffed oranges, he doesn't like to eat them, and he doesn't bother to make them, he has always wanted to learn this kind of time-consuming, laborious, and unsellable dish.
"I remember that Manager Zhang said that he wanted to move the cabinet on the second floor, and I went to help him move the cabinet, and I will come back when there are guests. Qin Guisheng smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.
"What a lazy thing. Master Peng shook his head helplessly.
Cao Guixiang was concentrating on processing the oranges in her hand, and when she heard her master say this, she raised her head to help Qin Guisheng say a few words.
"Master, it's not that you don't know, Second Senior Brother has always disliked this kind of dish. If it is a Buddha jumping over the wall, he is willing to do no matter how troublesome it is, so he is not willing to get this kind of dish. Cao Guixiang said.
"I asked him to be a Buddha jumping over the wall, does he have that ability? Since he was a child, he has been ambitious, and sooner or later he will have to fall big. Master Peng sighed and went to deal with the black cucumber.
Master Peng's method and steps of making big black cucumber were exactly the same as what Jiang Feng had seen in Xue Shaoheng's memory before, and he could only sigh that Cao Guixiang had really done her master's true inheritance, and it was not bad at all.
Compared with sunflower duck and grilled black cucumber, crab stuffed orange is not difficult at all, but the steps are cumbersome and cumbersome.
Cao Guixiang is very patient, and she does it well, which is no different from what Master Peng did.
Chef Peng focused on making grilled black cucumber, Peng Changping's five-spice fish was about to come out of the pot, Cao Guixiang went back to see how the five-flower tea was cooked, and the rest of the chefs and helpers were also busy, and the kitchen was very quiet.
"Master Peng, Manager Yin, they are here, and they said that they can serve the food. Manager Zhang came in and said.
"Okay, I'll be served right away. "Master Peng poured the sauce on the large black cucumber and pulled the large black cucumber out of the pot.
Without him to say more, Peng Changping went out with the dishes.
Jiang Feng also followed Peng Changping out, if he didn't guess wrong, the very handsome little apprentice of the golden carpenter, Bacheng, was Zhang Chu, he was really curious about how handsome Zhang Chu was when he was young.
followed Peng Changping to the second floor, and before he saw anyone through the screen, Jiang Feng heard Manager Yin's voice.
"Master Jin, I heard that you like to eat crab stuffed oranges, so I specially asked someone to get oranges and crabs, and Master Peng made them himself, and they will be served soon. Manager Yin's voice was extremely enthusiastic.
"Manager Yin has a heart. "Master Jin is very calm.
"As long as you like it, come to Xiao Zhang, you're welcome, sit down! I haven't seen you for a while, but this kid is a lot more handsome. Manager Yin said.
Jiang Feng walked through the screen and saw Zhang Chu who looked like a young man.
What Manager Yin said is not an exaggeration at all, Zhang Chu was really handsome when he was a teenager, and he was very handsome with the characteristics of the times.
has a righteous face, and at first glance he looks like a good person. White, thick eyebrows and big eyes, deep facial features, sharp edges and corners, which makes people want to sigh when they see it.
Damn, it's so handsome.
Zhang Chu, who is now sitting on the 2nd floor, is young and handsome, looks like Pan An, and is full of spirit.
Zhang Chu, whom Jiang Feng had seen in his memory before, was middle-aged and fat, with scarce hair, and he could faintly see the trend of baldness in the future.
Sure enough, time is a rolling pin, sometimes horizontally, sometimes vertically.
"Pick up big black cucumber. Peng Changping brought the dish to the table.
"Master Peng, if the dishes are ready, let's serve them all together. Manager Yin said.
"Okay. Peng Changping nodded and went down.
Jiang Feng still stayed on it, listening to the three of them.
Manager Yin asked the gold carpenter for something, and wanted him to build a thousand work beds for his daughter, so he was naturally very enthusiastic, and he repeatedly picked up vegetables for the gold carpenter, and did not forget to clip two chopsticks for Zhang Chu.
After a while, Peng Changping came up with a tray again, and there were sunflower ducks, spiced fish and three crab stuffed oranges in the tray. Cao Guixiang absentmindedly followed behind with a tray of herbal tea, wandering around the world.
"Oh, Master Peng has made the crab stuffed orange, and it really deserves to be Master Peng!" Manager Yin helped Peng Changping bring the dishes to the table, "Because we have few people, I don't order so many dishes." These dishes are Master Peng's specialties, come, Xiao Zhang, you can eat more. ”
"Thank you, Manager Yin. Zhang Chu was a little restrained, bowing his head and eating vegetables.
"Manager Yin, this five-flower tea is freshly brewed and still warm, it's hot today, my master asked me to send you three cups of five-flower tea to reduce the fire. Cao Guixiang said, putting the herbal tea on the table.
"That's really thank you Master Peng, Master Peng has a heart. Manager Yin said.
A tilt of the head saw Zhang Chu.
The movements of Cao Guixiang's hand paused, and in just a few seconds, Jiang Feng saw a wonderful expression change of shock, doubt, surprise, shyness, and panic on her face, and when these expressions changed, Cao Guixiang's gaze never took off Zhang Chu's face.
"Should... You're welcome. Cao Guixiang picked up the tray, and the soles of her feet slipped like oil.
Within two steps of walking out, Cao Guixiang couldn't help but glance back again.
Zhang Chu has been eating vegetables with his head down, never raised his head at all, and never looked at her at all.
Cao Guixiang turned her head back a little lost, took two steps forward, and couldn't help but look back at Zhang Chu again, looked twice and continued to walk forward.
Zhang Chu is still immersed in eating.
"Master Jin, I don't know how Xiao Zhang has learned this craft recently?" asked Manager Yin.
"He's, he's just getting started. Some time ago, I learned to repair window frames, but I haven't had a chance to practice, and I'm worried. Manager Yin, if you know someone's broken window frame and need to be repaired, remember to tell me, I don't charge money, take him to the door to practice. The golden carpenter said.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you. Manager Yin readily agreed.
Cao Guixiang seemed to be frozen in place, obviously she couldn't see Zhang Chu through the screen, and would rather stare at the screen than go downstairs.
"Little junior sister, what are you doing standing here stupidly, I thought you lost it, you are a guest, the master called you. Qin Guisheng said at the staircase on the first floor.
"Ahh Cao Guixiang woke up like a dream and went downstairs.
"Second Senior Brother, do you know what the little apprentice of the golden carpenter is called?" Cao Guixiang asked.
"I don't know, I don't know him, I don't even know what the gold carpenter is. Qin Guisheng looked puzzled, "Ask what that kid is doing, let me tell you, this kind of good-looking kid is not a good thing!"
"You're not a good thing!" Cao Guixiang got angry and turned around and went into the kitchen.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
"You girl, if you ask you to send an herbal tea, you can send it to no one, it was all learned from your second senior brother. Master Peng said helplessly, "Do you still remember that you steamed crab stuffed oranges in your pot?"
"Oops!" Cao Guixiang was shocked, she actually forgot about it, and hurriedly went to see the crab stuffed orange in the pot.
"Master, why did the little junior sister get involved with me when she was lazy? What do you mean by learning from me, she is definitely self-taught!" Qin Guisheng began to be poor again.
Cao Guixiang hurriedly took out the crab stuffed orange in the pot, she made two, and she had one Qin Guisheng.
"Oh, here you go. Cao Guixiang handed the crab stuffed orange to Qin Guisheng.
Qin Guisheng looked flattered: "So good to me? ”
Cao Guixiang pulled Qin Guisheng aside and whispered, "Originally, it was fine, but now it is." ”
"What's the matter? Ask me to borrow money? I'll tell you I don't have any money, I used all my salary last month to buy a dress for Amin. Qin Guisheng looked vigilant.
"Make a face, you borrowed part of the money you paid for Amin's skirt last month. Cao Guixiang glared at him, "You help me figure it out, which window frame in our store do you say is more suitable for breaking?"
Qin Guisheng: ???
Jiang Feng: ???
"Broken, the windows in our store are of good quality, they were all beaten by Master Qiu from Nancheng, don't you know, what do you want to do?"
"I didn't want to do anything, I just thought, you see, it rained for a month last month, and I have to break two of them, right? If I can't do it, I have to break one, at least one of them, and I have to break it today. Cao Guixiang looked at Qin Guisheng, "Second Senior Brother, you can help, help make it break." ”
Qin Guisheng felt that the crab stuffed orange in his hand weighed as much as a thousand catties.
"Eat and eat, this thing doesn't taste good when it's cold. Qin Guisheng began to change the topic.
Cao Guixiang took a spoon, scooped a small spoonful of crab stuffed orange, and took it in his mouth.
She smiled, like a cat that had stolen something.
Beaming.
