Chapter 746: Pigeon Swallowing Swallow
As soon as he arrived at Taifeng Building, Jiang Feng went to find bird's nest soaking.
The best swiftlet nests are used.
Taifeng Lou originally didn't always have golden bird's nest in the back kitchen, and the old man basically didn't know how to make bird's nest dishes except for the clear soup and willow leaf bird's nest dishes, Jiang Weiming was not very good at bird's nest dishes, and Jiang Feng stewed rock sugar bird's nest for Comrade Wang Xiulian at most.
Bird's nest is a good thing, and it is definitely a waste in the back kitchen of Taifeng Building.
But now it's different, Tai Fung Lou has a new head chef.
A master of Cantonese cuisine, a thief who will be the head chef of expensive dishes.
As long as it is expensive, there is no Sun Mao who will not.
Sun Maocai usually comes to the kitchen very late, he has more activities in the morning, gets up early and goes home to take a shower after a morning run, and then goes downstairs to the store to eat a breakfast of less than 15 yuan after taking a shower, and then goes to the newsstand to buy a morning newspaper, and must read the newspaper before coming to work.
As soon as Sun Maocai entered the back kitchen, he saw the bowl of soaked bird's nest beside Jiang Feng.
"What are you going to cook?" Sun Maocai was a little curious, he had been working in Taifeng Building for almost half a month, and he had never seen anyone other than him make bird's nest dishes.
"Pigeon swallows. Jiang Feng said.
"The pigeon swallows the swallow. Sun Maocai suddenly felt that he had something to say, and before he could say the next sentence, he suddenly reacted, Jiang Feng is an expert in making eight treasure chestnut pigeons, and there is definitely no problem in being a pigeon swallowing swallow.
"Are you going to hang the soup stock or just use the hanging stock from yesterday?" asked Sun Maocai.
The method of swallowing the pigeon is basically the same as that of the eight-treasure chestnut pigeons, the three-month-old meat pigeon is deboned, the belly is cut and stuffed with bird's nest and ham, pine needles, and finally steamed. The two most difficult points, pine needles and whole pigeon boneping, are not a problem for Jiang Feng, not that he blows, with his experience in making eight treasure chestnut pigeons and the current level, he can debone the pigeon with his eyes closed.
Before the birth of the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon, the pigeon swallow swallow once had the reputation of the world's first soup.
Of course, as we all know, there are five of the four heavenly kings, and there is more than one number one soup in the world.
It is difficult for the eight treasure chestnut pigeons to thicken, and it is difficult for the pigeon to swallow the swallow in the fire.
The eight treasure chestnut pigeons are steamed, and the time taken is not long. Pigeon swallows are stewed, and the pigeon that has been shaped by flying water needs to be boiled for four or five hours together with a previously dismantled skeleton and a specially prepared broth. Because the time is too long, the control of the heat has become the key, a little carelessness, will make the fragile pigeon body crack, not only the pigeon meat loses its original sweetness, but also the bird's nest buried in the pigeon's belly will also leak out, so that this dish from swallowing swallow to swallowing swallow.
Of course, for Jiang Feng now, this kind of control of the heat is not a problem.
The problem is in the dashi.
If the stock is carefully subdivided, it can be divided into many types, and there will be some subtle differences in ingredients and hanging methods. But it's pretty much the same, it's basically a soup made with ham, pork, and old hen.
Dishes that usually require soup do not need to be so particular, as long as it is a good pot of soup. However, for top dishes such as Jiang's ginseng soup, pigeon swallow swallow, and even Taishi snake soup, the soup stock has also become a crucial factor in determining the upper limit of its taste, so if you want to really make a top-notch dish, the soup stock needs to be specially boiled, and one dish is accompanied by one soup.
"Just yesterday's. Jiang Feng said.
If he wants to make an S-level pigeon swallow, of course, he needs to hang a pot of broth. But he only needs to make an A-level pigeon swallow swallow with a buff, and let Wu Minqi eat it to see if he can solve the current dilemma of not being able to find inspiration, so he doesn't need to be so troublesome.
Sun Maocai didn't say more, only left a sentence that he could ask me if he had any questions, and then went to do his own thing.
A pigeon swallowing swallow that is destined to be impossible to reach the S level will not be able to cause discussion or even a sensation in the back kitchen of the current Taifeng Building, because the stewing time is relatively long, Jiang Feng is afraid that he will be busy at noon and forget it, so he specially asked Ji Xia to let her remember the time and remind her every hour.
"By the way, Xia Xia, how are your shortbreads practicing lately?" Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that before looking at his memory last night, he had issued a task that had been complained about by the game as an irresponsible master, and decided to care about the apprentice's learning process and be a master who might be a little responsible.
Ji Xia, who hadn't been cared about by the master for a long time, and hadn't been questioned, remembered the fear of being dominated by crab stuffed oranges at this moment.
"That's it...... Just ......" Ji Xia started the poor student mode of not being able to answer the teacher's questions again, and he couldn't say a word after lowering his head for a long time, "Just ...... It's the same as before. ”
Jiang Feng sighed, deeply realizing that he seemed to be indeed an irresponsible master, but he couldn't take responsibility for the white case, so he could only put finding a reliable, qualified and skilled white case master for Ji Xia on the agenda again, and put it at the front of the schedule.
"Practice a lot in the past two days, don't slack off, and in a few days Master will check how your shortbread is doing. Jiang Feng said.
Ji Xia nodded, and was about to slip away, when she suddenly remembered that she actually had good news to tell Jiang Feng: "By the way, Uncle Jiang said that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be soon, and he will teach me to make moon cakes next week." ”
Due to the chaotic relationship between the generations of the Jiang family, all Ji Xia who can't figure out the relationship and don't know what to call it will all be called uncles, uncles, grandparents, and grandparents.
"Mooncakes?" Jiang Feng thought for a while, it's only August now, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is in October, but if it's taught, it has to start.
And he can teach moon cakes.
He has a recipe for fresh meat mooncakes, although he doesn't do it very well, but he knows how to make mistakes, can teach people, and has a wealth of experience in making mistakes.
"What kind of moon cake? Is that a Cantonese-style moon cake or a Soviet-style moon cake?" Jiang Feng felt that if Jiang Jianguo came to teach, there was a chance that it would be a fresh meat moon cake.
"Fresh meat mooncakes!" Ji Xia's eyes were shining when she said this, obviously the fresh meat mooncakes of Babao Zhai last year left her with very good memories.
Having said that, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and it's time for Babaozhai to make a windfall.
It's a little jealous to think about.
"Then Xia Xia will study hard, and if there is anything you don't understand, come and ask Master. Jiang Feng said with a smile, ended this unnutritious conversation, and sent Ji Xia to do his own thing.
The pigeon swallow swallow was not finished until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, before this, few people in the back kitchen found that Jiang Feng was making a new dish, they all thought that Jiang Feng was making eight treasure chestnut pigeons, Zhang Weiyu was a little strange and asked Jiang Feng why the eight treasure chestnut pigeons had to be steamed for so long.
Since the pigeon swallow swallow is stewed, this time only the buff is not the quality, the pigeon swallow swallow with a buff can only make three a day, Jiang Feng boiled three in one pot, Wu Minqi one, Ji pigeon one, he and Xia Xia one.
Ji Xia had to inform Jiang Feng every hour, this pigeon swallowing swallow was actually guarded by her, but she didn't know what was inside, Jiang Feng told her that she hadn't even heard of the pigeon swallowing swallow. Seeing that the dish was about to come out of the pot, Ji Xia was reluctant to leave by the pot, and wanted to see what it was.
"Xia Xia, you go and call your Sister Wu and Sister Ji Yue over. Jiang Feng said.
Ji Xia can only go and call people first.
By the time Ji Xia led Ji Yue and Wu Minqi back, Jiang Feng had already put the pigeon swallowing swallow into the cup that was usually used to hold the eight treasure chestnut pigeons, and a suckling pigeon was half a cup of broth, which looked like a stewed pigeon.
"Jiang Feng, didn't I tell you a few days ago that you don't need to be this pigeon swallowing swallow? Ji Yue said.
Jiang Feng: ......
You didn't eat any less wontons, and I didn't see any inspiration from you.
Jiang Feng smiled: "What I promised you must be done, and it is not a difficult thing." ”
"The boss is exquisite!" Ji Yue gave Jiang Feng a thumbs up and slapped a false and perfunctory workplace horse.
Wu Minqi didn't react much, there was not even any expression on his face, the whole person was still in a state of wandering in the world, and without saying a word, he took a few pairs of chopsticks and a few spoons and distributed them to everyone.
Still didn't say anything, Wu Minqi picked up a pigeon swallow swallow and walked to the side and ate quietly.
"By the way, Jiang Feng, I forgot to ask you at noon today, does your Qiqi have anything on her mind lately?" Ji Yue saw Wu Minqi walking to the side and asked in a low voice.
"You can see that, too. Jiang Feng lowered his voice.
"I've already seen that your Kiki was a little weird two or three days ago, and it feels like something on her mind. It's a little abnormal today, is it stimulated by Zhou Shi?"
"Probably not. Jiang Feng felt that Wu Minqi was not a person who would be easily stimulated by others, "Qiqi should be looking for inspiration, she said that he remembered eating a dish that seemed to be a copying but didn't seem to be copying. Hasn't she been outflanking her hands all this time? We've been eating red oil every breakfast for a while now, and Kiki should have been doing it for so long. ”
Ji Yue blinked quickly in confusion, obviously unable to understand the tip of the horns that couldn't be copied: "Then have you asked her why she suddenly wants to be a copyist?"
Jiang Feng was stunned.
Yes, he only knew that Wu Minqi was drilling because he couldn't do what he wanted, but he didn't understand why Wu Minqi suddenly wanted to do this.
He didn't ask, and Wu Minqi didn't mention it, it seemed that it just started one day suddenly. Jiang Feng thought about it carefully and found that this beginning could be traced back a long time, even to the day when Wu Minqi suddenly offered to contract for breakfast every morning.
Why does Wu Minqi make breakfast?
Jiang Feng thought about it, because it had been too long, he couldn't remember clearly, but he remembered that Wu Minqi seemed to say that he wanted to find a balance between spiciness and deliciousness, and wanted to make dishes that were spicy but acceptable to humans and felt delicious.
But what does this have to do with copying?
Jiang Feng suddenly realized that Ji Yue had raised a very critical question.
Everything happens for a reason, and no one wants to practice a dish on a whim for no reason and stick to it. Zhang Guanghang suddenly studied Safro chicken before because he remembered the memories of his childhood, and Jiang Feng himself would suddenly practice so many dishes inexplicably because he got these recipes.
But what is Wu Minqi's reason?
If she makes breakfast because she wants to find that balance, then why do she do it?
Jiang Feng felt that even Qiqi herself might not be able to understand this reason, which was why she was so distressed.
As for whether she can figure it out, it depends on whether the pigeon swallow is useful today.
