Chapter 409: Stew

The clip that Jiang Feng chose to go back to is from Master Peng starting to make crab stuffed oranges to Cao Guixiang finishing making crab stuffed oranges, which took about an hour before and after. Because the picture quality of the screenshot was so poor, Jiang Feng deliberately took more screenshots before and after for the sake of insurance, so as not to miss some key content.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Feng appeared in the back kitchen of Yongheju again.

Manager Yin's rainbow fart has come to an end, and Cao Guixiang is staring straight at the bag that Manager Yin brought, eager to write the 4 big words I want to try on her face.

Jiang Feng focused all his attention on the few stoves beside Master Peng, and he remembered that Master Peng's steamed crabs were steamed on the stove next to him, and there were only two stoves next to Master Peng.

As a single-family restaurant, Yongheju covers an area larger than Taifeng Building, and the corresponding kitchen is larger than the kitchen of Taifeng Building, and there are many employees. When Jiang Feng looked at his memories before, all his attention was on Master Peng, Qin Guisheng and Cao Guixiang, and even Peng Changping didn't pay much attention to it, and the others directly ignored it as a background board.

Jiang Feng went around to the back of the stove to look inside the stove, and found that there was no fire in the stove, so he waited beside it.

To make crab stuffed orange is to steam crabs.

Sure enough, as soon as Manager Yin's front foot left, Master Peng's back foot asked Cao Guixiang to steam the crab.

Cao Guixiang got the master's order to brush the crabs, and an apprentice who had no impression of Jiang Feng before heard Master Peng's words and hurriedly ran to make a fire.

A few sticks of firewood, a handful of hay, and a raging fire in the blink of an eye in the kung fu stove.

Steamed crabs over high heat, nothing wrong.

Master Peng began to process the oranges, and Jiang Feng came to Master Peng's side to watch him process the process.

Cao Guixiang's method of processing crab stuffed oranges is based on Master Peng's learning, and there is basically no difference, except that Master Peng is more experienced and fast, and he can easily face the inside of oranges with complex structures and interlaced fascia.

In just 20 minutes, the three oranges were hollowed out and cleanly processed, and even the amount of orange juice remaining in the oranges was about the same.

"Guixiang, go take out the crab and remove the crab meat. Master Peng commanded.

Jiang Feng had been paying close attention to the movements on the stove, Cao Guixiang went to the steamer to take out the crabs, and the apprentice who had burned the fire before also hurriedly ran to the stove to pull out the unburned wood inside and cover it with firewood ashes.

Master Peng saw the apprentice's movements and said, "Leave a small section." ”

Leave a little bit?

Jiang Feng was stunned, every word Master Peng said could be the key to solving the case, but what does it mean to leave a small section?

Jiang Feng didn't understand, but the apprentice did, and knocked the next section of unburned wood with iron tongs. The wood that had been burned in the stove for more than 20 minutes was so fragile that it broke into several pieces with a single knock. The apprentice picked a section of good size and left it inside, leaving the small piece of wood, which was stained with firewood ash and gray and fragile, alone on the firewood ash pile, flickering with a faint red light.

Jiang Feng seemed to know how Master Peng steamed crabs and stuffed oranges.

He is too familiar with this kind of operation method of burning firewood to the end and leaving a small part in the stove, and Grandma Jiang likes to do it the most when she stews rice.

When he was in the countryside, the old man usually cooked the rice by Grandma Jiang. Grandma Jiang is a person who saves firewood very much, and the amount of firewood needed to cook every meal in her place is counted, and half a root is not much use.

In the Jiang family, if you use a wood stove to cook rice, the rice must be cooked last. When all the dishes are fried, there is still a little firewood left in the stove or no firewood, and the rice is cooked with the residual heat in the stove.

The airtightness and heat retention of the earthen stove are generally very good, and even if the wood in the stove is burned, the high temperature in the stove will last for a long time, which is enough to cook the rice.

The advantage of this kind of stewed rice is to save firewood, Grandma Jiang had six children at home when she was a child, but only one was a boy, and the labor force was seriously insufficient. This habit developed because of the serious shortage of labor force has not been changed until Grandma Jiang gave birth to five big fat boys, and it continues to this day.

If the crab stuffed orange made by Master Peng is stewed, it can indeed retain the sweetness and umami of the orange to the greatest extent.

Jiang Feng remembered that when he was in high school, he read a short article in a newspaper, and for many years he was determined to make the seasoning accurate to the gram and the time accurate to the second, and even tried to replace the chef with a robot.

It's a discovery that sounds practical, but 99% of people don't do it.

But Jiang Feng felt that he might have to practice this boiled egg technique hard in the future.

If you want to cook your food, it's important to keep track of the remaining calories.

Jiang Feng continued to stare at the stove, having no time to pay attention to the movements of Master Peng and Cao Guixiang.

Jiang Feng watched as the small piece of firewood in the stove became smaller and smaller, slowly merging with the ashes of the firewood below, and even the red flame became more and more dim, more and more sporadic, like a faint star in the night, stubbornly flickering with a vague light. After watching it for a long time, Jiang Feng was even in a trance, and he himself was a little unsure whether the firewood in the stove had completely burned out.

Jiang Feng couldn't help but glance up at Master Peng, he had already processed the orange in his hand and was watching Cao Guixiang pick the crab meat, opening his mouth to say something to Cao Guixiang, not paying attention to the movement in the stove at all.

Could it be that Chef Peng also cooks according to fate?

Jiang Feng was a little puzzled, how could such a difficult technique of stuffing crab oranges be as important as guiding apprentices on Master Peng's side.

Could it be that Master Peng didn't plan to stew the crab stuffed orange at all, and leaving a piece of firewood in the stove at the end was just a habit of Yongheju in order to show that he was rich and wealthy.

Jiang Feng looked at Master Peng, his mind was now all on Cao Guixiang, and he pointed to a part of the crab and told Cao Guixiang how to kick the crab meat here faster.

I didn't even give a look to the stove.

After a few dozen seconds, Master Peng looked at Cao Guixiang's shaved crab meat, nodded and said to her, "There are still two oranges in the bag, you can take the remaining crab meat and practice by yourself later." ”

After speaking, Master Peng walked to the side of the stove, went around to the back of the stove, and stood behind Jiang Feng.

This was an ordinary walk, but Jiang Feng suddenly became nervous and stared at Master Peng's eyes.

Master Peng glanced at the stove.

It may be two seconds, or it may be three seconds, as if he inadvertently glanced at it, and quickly looked away, turned his head to Cao Guixiang and said, "Guixiang, bring the crab stuffed orange to the steamer." ”

He only glanced at it and concluded that the temperature was okay.

Jiang Feng was stunned.

This was the first time he had seen what it means to be a master.

He has seen so many memories, whether it is Cao Guixiang, Sun Zheran, Jiang Chengde or Jiang Hengzhong, none of them are shocked by Master Peng's glance.

He felt that he needed to ponder carefully, study slowly, and treat things carefully, Master Peng only needed a glance.

For Jiang Feng, mastering the timing of crab stuffed orange is a major event that requires squatting next to the stove and waiting slowly, just like making porridge and not being distracted.

But for Chef Peng, judging the timing of crab stuffed orange stew is just the simplest and most ordinary thing, and he doesn't even need to stir up the crowd, just shake it to the back of the stove and take a look at it everywhere like he usually walks.

A master can make a move, and only one move can determine the winner.

Jiang Feng suddenly discovered that on top of this endless mountain of cooking, he might have only just climbed a small peak, and there were countless big mountains behind him, one mountain was higher than the other.

After Master Peng asked Cao Guixiang to steam the crab stuffed orange in the pot, he went to deal with the sunflower duck, Jiang Feng was a little unwilling to continue to squat at the stove and stare at the stove to see some doorways.

As a result, I didn't see anything except that my eyes were a little ghosted.

Master Peng has used an earthen stove to cook for a lifetime, when to burn what firewood, how much fire, when to smoke firewood, he knows very well. The ruler in Master Peng's heart is not something that a young man like Jiang Feng, who is used to using a gas stove, can understand.

Seeing that there was nothing in the stove, Jiang Feng went to look outside the stove to see if there were hidden things in the other stoves.

Sure enough, Jiang Feng saw some doorways.

The firewood stacking in Yongheju is very particular.

Different woods, different lengths, different thicknesses, whole or split, burned or unburned, are stacked separately.

Jiang Feng also found that there were actually two apprentices in the entire Yonghe Residence who were specifically responsible for burning firewood, which was very professional.

On the surface, Yongheju is just a normal state-run hotel with a large number of people, but in fact, everyone has their own division of labor, and the division of labor is very detailed, and everyone performs their own duties.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

When Jiang Feng came back to his senses, Master Peng's crab stuffed orange was already out of the pot, and Cao Guixiang was carefully taking out the crab stuffed orange and putting it into the tray, Jiang Feng hurriedly came up to take a look.

The orange was not covered, and Jiang Feng knew that the three crab stuffed oranges in front of him were definitely A-grade just by smelling the taste.

Fragrant.

It's not an ordinary aroma, it's fruity and winey, and it's already very strong before the lid is lifted. This unique cooking method allows the fragrant snow wine to fully evaporate and penetrate into every corner of the orange, including the orange peel, and combine with the fruity aroma of the orange, which is amazing.

It's not a curiosity, it's amazing.

Such crab stuffed orange is worthy of the word famous dish.

Cao Guixiang went to deliver food, but this time Jiang Feng did not follow Cao Guixiang, but stayed in the back kitchen.

When he first looked at this memory, he didn't realize that Yongheju Kitchen was really a treasure place. Not only the descendants of the Tan family cuisine in the vein of Master Peng, but also other chefs, and even ordinary helpers, are very good and powerful existences.

As soon as Cao Guixiang left, the originally silent back kitchen suddenly became lively.

"Lao Peng, it's not good for you to let Guixiang go over to serve the food like this, Master Jin's little apprentice is notoriously handsome, you be careful that Guixiang fell in love with him and was hooked by him. Master Wang said with a smile.

"What nonsense, there are juniors here, don't talk nonsense, wait for the reputation of Guixiang to be ruined. Master Peng said lightly.

Master Wang smiled but did not say a word.

Qin Guisheng was a little dazed when he heard Master Wang say this, and if he wanted to find someone to solve his doubts, he could only go to Peng Changping's side.

"Senior brother, what did Master Wang mean by that just now?" Qin Guisheng asked curiously.

Literally. Peng Chang wiped the kitchen knife calmly, and now that he is not alive, he can only wipe the knife.

"You said that the little junior sister wouldn't really fall in love with the little apprentice of Master Jin, have you ever seen that apprentice of Master Jin? Is it really as handsome as they say? I don't think there can be such a handsome person in this world, how can someone look good and let the little girl pick the window, I don't have a little girl to pick the window of my house. Qin Guisheng seemed to be asking Peng Changping a question, but he was actually talking to himself.

"What if Master Jin's little apprentice is really handsome? Little junior sister is superficial, and she usually likes to stay with people like me. Alas, what if the little junior sister really likes it, he is an apprentice and has no formal establishment and no salary, how can this kind of person ......" Qin Guisheng turned into a humanoid BB machine and became a prophet.

Peng Changping continued to wipe the knife with a strange look, and didn't even pay attention to him.

Jiang Feng wandered around in the back kitchen of Yonghe House again, focusing on the firewood and stove in the back kitchen, and the time passed quickly.

Even Jiang Feng himself didn't realize that he was staring at the stove happily, so he was kicked out of his memory and returned to the back kitchen of Taifeng Building.

The first thing Jiang Feng did when he left his memory was to turn on the fire and boil a pot of water.

He wanted to know how much energy the boiled water had after turning off the heat.

The earthen stove is not the same as the gas stove, and Jiang Feng can't build an earthen stove in the back kitchen of Taifeng Building in order to make crab stuffed oranges.

The earthen stove has the method of the earthen stove, and the gas stove has the method of the gas stove, Jiang Feng has now held the key to open the door, and all he needs now is the strength to push the door.

Now that you're on the right path, it's only a matter of time before you reach the end.

Jiang Feng stared at the water in the pot, the water surface was very calm, and it was still a long time before it boiled.

He also has a long way to go.
