Chapter 276: Young Shallot (2)
Qin Guisheng was dragged into the kitchen by Cao Guixiang, and along the way, Qin Guisheng squeaked exaggeratedly, and the rest of the people had a strange expression when they saw it.
"Master, just now the second senior brother was wiping the table on the second floor. Cao Guixiang covered for Qin Guisheng.
"Can he be so diligent?" Cao Guixiang's master obviously didn't believe the nonsense of their brothers and sisters, "I have a lazy body, I can lie down and never stand, sooner or later I will have to find someone to treat you." Come here, you've been stealing for so long and you've been lazy enough to steal, you and your sister went to dispose of honeysuckle, chrysanthemums, acacia flowers, kudzu flowers and kapok. ”
"Didn't Manager Zhang say that he was going to deliver herbal tea tomorrow?" asked Qin Guisheng.
"My distant uncle and grandfather are sick, and I have to go to the hospital tomorrow to see him and don't have time, so I boiled the herbal tea today and put it first. It just so happens that it's hot today, and after boiling herbal tea, you can also drink two cups to relieve the heat. Master Cao Guixiang said, looking up at another middle-aged chef who was some distance from him, "Master Wang, I'll trouble you tomorrow." ”
"No trouble, no trouble. Chef Wang said heartily and continued to cut vegetables.
Master Cao Guixiang is slicing ham, very slow and careful, each slice is the same size, and the ham that comes out of the slice is extremely thin, so thin that it seems to be able to transmit light. Coupled with the excellent quality of the ham, he knew at a glance that it was a high-quality Jinhua ham, and Jiang Feng could imagine the melt-in-the-mouth taste of the ham sliced by Master Cao Guixiang.
Master Cao Guixiang concentrated on slicing ham and didn't care if Qin Guisheng was lazy anymore, Qin Guisheng obediently did it when he got the task, and went to find materials with Cao Guixiang.
The herbal tea made with honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, locust flower, kudzu flower and kapok is naturally five-flower tea.
Wuhua tea is one of the herbal teas commonly drunk by the people of Guangdong Province, and Jiang Weiguo would sometimes cook herbal tea when Jiang Feng was in elementary school. Because Grandma Jiang loves to drink fruit tea, the old man usually cooks watermelon peel herbal tea, orange tea, or fruity appetizer tea.
Only one summer, because it was too hot, it was so hot that even a thin person like Jiang Feng could sweat when he sat in the house and did nothing. In order to get rid of the fire in the heart and clear the liver heat, the old man boiled five-flower tea.
In the hot summer, drinking a cup of herbal tea that clears heat and dissolves fire is more effective than eating 100 pieces of iced watermelon.
It's just that the old man's five-flower tea is made with frangipani instead of kudzu, the reason is very simple, kudzu is too expensive.
When Jiang Feng saw Qin Guisheng and Cao Guixiang snatching out a handful of fine kudzu flowers from the bag, he immediately felt that the air was filled with the smell of wealth.
What kind of family conditions do you have to use such a high-quality kudzu flower to make five-flower tea, or to send it.
Brewing herbal tea is actually very simple, soak the pork belly tea in water, put it in a soup pot, boil it over high heat, and then turn to low heat and slowly cook it.
Qin Guisheng chatted with Cao Guixiang while cleaning the acacia flowers: "I think it's best to add some monk fruit and brown sugar to boil five-flower tea, so that it tastes a little bit." ”
"You can add it if you want, and Master doesn't care what you add, as long as the final cooking is good. Cao Guixiang said.
While Qin Guisheng was handling the materials of the five-flower tea, he tilted his head to see what his master was doing, and when he looked at it, he saw that his senior brother was taking something to burn.
It was black cucumber, and his elder brother was burning the skin of black cucumber with fire.
"My good dear, who came to eat at noon today, and actually ordered black cucumber. Qin Guisheng exclaimed, "How rich this is." ”
"It's not good to be rich, if others don't order the master, you can't learn. Cao Guixiang continued to do what she was doing.
Jiang Feng no longer had time to pay attention to what Cao Guixiang and Qin Guisheng were doing, he was now eager to know how to shadow the doppelganger, or have one more pair of eyes, so that he could watch Cao Guixiang's master sliced ham with one pair of eyes, and watch Cao Guixiang's senior brother deal with black ginseng with one pair of eyes.
Whether it is grilled black cucumber or sunflower duck, it is a very difficult banquet dish in the Tan family's cuisine, and it is earned when you see it at this time.
Since the game was updated, old bugs have been fixed and new ones have appeared. Originally, the memory could still be checked repeatedly, but now the memory can only check the part of the recipe repeatedly, if these dishes are not the dishes in the recipe, Jiang Feng can only watch this time.
Cao Guixiang's elder brother scraped off the burnt skin after the black cucumber was cooked, and used a knife to cut a small hole in the black cucumber to remove the internal organs.
After Master Cao Guixiang finished slicing the ham, he walked to the steamer and took out the steamed duck, quickly deboned it, and cut the duck diagonally into slices.
"Master, the black cucumber has been dealt with. "Senior brother said.
"Put it in the pot and cook it when it's done, Guixiang, you go and help your senior brother." Master Cao Guixiang said.
"Okay. Cao Guixiang excitedly washed and wiped her hands, and decisively left Qin Guisheng to help the senior brother.
Being able to participate in the preparation of this kind of difficult dish is more useful than watching the master cook it 100 times.
"Guixiang, you cut the green onion and ginger first. "Senior brother said.
Cao Guixiang went to cut the green onion and ginger, and the senior brother began to put bamboo chopsticks in the enamel pot, then put the bamboo curtain, and then put the processed Shuifa big black cucumber on the bamboo curtain, and then covered a bamboo curtain.
At this time, Cao Guixiang had already cut the green onion and ginger, and the two of them put the old hen, Jinhua ham, scallops and cut green onion and ginger into the enamel pot one by one, filled with water and covered with lid, and put it on the stove to boil over strong heat.
When the pot is boiling, turn to low heat and continue to simmer.
Master Cao Guixiang only glanced at the side and said, "The fire is big, turn it down a little bit." ”
The elder brother turned down the fire a little more.
Master Cao Guixiang nodded, at this time he had already sliced the duck, mushrooms and ham, the same size, the same thickness, and put them on a plate to be steamed in the pot.
However, I am afraid that the step of steaming in the pot will have to wait until a few hours later.
Seeing that Master had stopped, Qin Guisheng leaned in with a smile and asked, "Master, what kind of guest is it at noon today? ”
Master Cao Guixiang looked serious and scolded: "Who is the guest and what does it matter to you, we are cooks, just do what we should do, and ask so much about what we are doing." ”
"Won't I ask? This is not a year, is it who wants to marry a daughter or marry a relative?" Qin Guisheng was used to being scolded by his master, and his face did not change and his heart did not beat.
When Qin Guisheng asked like this, Cao Guixiang and Senior Brother also wanted to know, and looked at their master in unison.
"It's Manager Yin from the silk shop next door. Master Cao Guixiang said, "Her daughter will get married in a few years, and she wants to ask the gold carpenter to make her daughter a thousand work beds. ”
"Qiangong bed?!Manager Yin is really rich, how much does it cost to build a thousand-worker bed!" Qin Guisheng looked amazed.
"Of course Manager Yin is rich, she came from Jiangnan. I heard that her father was originally a particularly famous silk merchant in Jiangnan, and the dowry she gave was a thousand work beds, and she invited the best master there, and I heard that it cost several small yellow croaker. "Master Wang also has a heart for discussing gossip.
"How many small yellow croakers?!" the other cook was shocked.
"How can it be so exaggerated, whether it is a bed or money, I think it is mostly a lie. Qin Guisheng said that it was impossible, and poverty limited his imagination.
"Who knows? We've never slept in such expensive beds. Master Wang shook his head.
Cao Guixiang's focus is different: "Who is the gold carpenter?"
"The cabinet on the second floor of our store was made by a gold carpenter. "I came here last month to fix the handrail of the stairs, but you probably didn't see it in the kitchen at that time. ”
"By the way, Master, the cabinet on the second floor is broken again, since the gold carpenter came over today, why don't you just ask him to repair it together." "Senior brother said.
"Manager Zhang has already found a gold carpenter, and he will come over tomorrow to repair it. Master Cao Guixiang said.
