Chapter Sixty-Seven: A Miraculous Technique of Boiling the Pot
The hundred-year-old soup starts with the pot, and it needs to be 'heaven, earth and man' triad.
'Heaven' is the fire, 'Earth' is the old pot, and 'People' is the ingredients.
A good chef must be able to control the fire subtly, hold the pot like a hand, and treat the ingredients with sincerity, so as to achieve the three-in-one and achieve the essence of a century-old soup.
'Fourteen months' of hard training in the back kitchen, Zhou Dong himself didn't know that he had practiced tens of thousands of times, if he made other delicacies, he didn't dare to say, when it came to this old pot, he called the second, who in the world dared to say that it was the first?
A pot of large and small intestines, bursting with countless flowers.
Zhou Dong's left hand holding the pot handle shook, and the whole old pot was like a shock animal that opened the electric door, and began to make wave-like ups and downs according to a certain frequency.
Ordinary chefs are turning the wok, but Zhou Dong is turning this oversized old pot, just this hand, I was stunned by the masters of the breakfast department.
Liu Changqing stared at the old pot on the stove tightly, and his heart was shocked.
If it is only by the strength of the wrist, I am afraid that no chef can turn it upside down, but Zhou Dong can use the stove and use ingenuity. For example, it's like a 500-pound heavy locomotive, and a strong man who doesn't know how to be clever doesn't want to help him up, if he gets the hang of it, the girl can also control it calmly. Without it, only familiar hands.
A tight layer of fine sweat broke out on Zhou Dong's forehead, and while controlling the old pot to vibrate at a fixed frequency, he also had to observe the gradually rising furnace fire to make the pot body heat evenly. The bowl of pork intestines began to move around the pot, first gently tossed from the bottom of the pot, and then with a shudder in his left hand, like a motorcyclist performing in a wire tennis ball, he began to spun along the wall of the pot in defiance of gravity.
The lard on the wall of the pot ensures that the pig intestines will not be scorched, and the intestinal oil that is refined in the pig intestines is integrated into the pot wall at the same time.
"Spoon!
Zhou Dong took out the iron spoon from the hand of a master, quickly took out the first pot of pig intestines in a few clicks, and then took the second pot of pig intestines in the hands of the fat man and began to repeat the operation.
It took more than an hour, and more than 100 catties of pigs went through the old pot again, and at this time a thick layer of oil had accumulated in the pot, mainly the intestinal oil refined from the pig intestines.
"Wonderful! Master Xiao Zhou's craftsmanship is not said, it is the best practice to take the oil directly from the ingredients themselves! You often say 'anointment', 'anointment', thinking that refining some lard is balm? Wrong! The real anointment should be like this, take it as you go, and the original fat will turn into the original food!
This is called the three-in-one, the supreme realm of the legend of Lao Qinxing!"
In the end, it is a technician, although Liu Changqing's kung fu is all on the white case, after all, his knowledge is extraordinary; the rest of the masters seem to understand whether they understand or not, everyone is doing white cases, and the dishes have not been fried a few times, how do you know what is three-in-six combinations? But Master Xiao Zhou's craftsmanship is naturally good, not to mention that even Liu Technician praises it, quack chirp must be right!
"Xiao Zhou, these more than 100 catties of water have been refined by you, and their flavor has entered the old pot, and the taste of the old pot has also entered them, I'm afraid they can't be sold anymore, right?"
Zhou Dong first pressed the stove to half a fire, and did not rush to the next step, but let a few kinds of cream and fat refined by the water gradually 'cook) under the heat of half the fire, turned around and said: "Teacher Liu is right, this more than 100 catties of water is used to make soup in a pot, and after use, it will be wasted, and it cannot be imported at all." However, there will be fresh pigs sent to the water early tomorrow morning, and there will be half-fat and half-lean pig's head meat in the second knife position, which will not delay the launch of new products. ”
Liu Changqing frowned and said, "Is it too late to marinate fresh water and pig's head meat tomorrow?"
"The pig's head meat and water in the braised fire can not be equated with the braised vegetables, after cooking, the flavor will be seven points, the key is still in this pot of soup; if the flavor is ten percent, it will be salty, and it will compete with the soup for the taste of diners, and the monarch and the minister do not distinguish. ”
Zhou Dong said: "And with this pot of soup, it can be marinated for a maximum of an hour tomorrow, and after three days, this pot of soup will have the effect of old soup, and the time can be compressed to forty minutes." ”
After speaking, he didn't explain anymore, and the grease at the bottom of the pot had turned into anointing oil, turned over three times, and rolled a few times. Zhou Dong first put in the crushed old rock sugar, let it melt in the anointing oil, and waited until the anointing oil was yellow and bright, and there was a faint sweetness coming out, before the star anise pepper was placed, and after turning it twice, ninety catties of large and small intestines were put into the pot in turn, first the large intestine and then the small intestine, all of which were thrown into the long one by rice.
Zhou Dong used both hands, shook the pot with his left hand, and rolled with an iron spoon in his right hand, each stroke was extremely accurate, so that all the large intestines and small intestines were evenly heated, and hung with sugar;
At this time, the pot and the ingredients in the pot have exceeded 200 catties, and he can't shake the pot even if he has great ability, so he can only hold the pot ears with a wet towel and let it rotate slowly, while observing the fire distribution in the furnace, be sure to make the pot evenly heated, and at the same time keep stir-frying with an iron spoon.
The general master is just that, but Liu Changqing can see it clearly, Zhou Dong is particular about every spoonful, and hundreds of catties of pigs are like soldiers listening to commands, and they are taking turns to accept the review of 'firepower'.
When the sugar color is hung up, even the layman can see that this sugar color is hanging too wonderfully, all kinds of sewers have different sizes and shapes, but under Zhou Dong's hands, the color is uniform, and even the color and thickness are generally the same.
On this frying spoon, the head stove of Lu Chef is all talented, right? Everyone looked at each other, and it was really lucky that the department could keep Master Xiao Zhou earlier!
But how did they know that this was all a skill that Zhou Dong had cultivated in the back kitchen of creation, but it was effective for boiling and burning, such as the world's five absolute master, and he could reach out and have it!
Hanging the sugar color and ordering Wantong's brewed old soy sauce, Zhou Dong did not rush to put other spices, but added pure water without any peculiar smell, and then stared at the soup noodles tightly.
When the soup began to move slightly, Zhou Dong quickly grabbed several spices and put them into the soup, and at the same time issued a series of orders to 'add fire' and 'reduce fire', while the fire changed, more than a dozen spices needed for boiling were divided into several times and put into the soup, sometimes when the fire was boiling, sometimes when it was boiling on low heat, and even the same spice had to be divided into different stages.
Liu Changqing and the masters of the early department were dizzy, where could they remember when he invested what spices, and how much each time?
For the kitchen, pay attention to the way of the monarch and the minister, over-rely on spices, that is to bully the king, and completely abandon the spices, that is to have a king without ministers, and not to become a big country.
Zhou Dong's ability to add spices is actually a secret of the system, and his technique is as fast as lightning, and he is not afraid of being watched by others.
After the spices were finished, Zhou Dong began to add salt after a while, and then he kept observing the soup noodles, filling in new water more than a dozen times, and adding water for the last time until it was four or five centimeters away from the edge of the pot before stopping.
After letting people change to a low heat, Zhou Dong covered the pot and said to Liu Changqing: "Teacher Liu, this pot of soup will be simmered until tomorrow morning, and there is no need to cut off the fire during this time."
In the future, this pot of soup will only be marinated with new ingredients, and I will do the work of adding water and ingredients, even if I encounter special circumstances, I can't break the fire for more than three hours. ”
Seeing Liu Changqing nodding, Zhou Dong said again: "When you sell braised and boiled tomorrow, you still need a medium pot, so you don't have to bother to open the pot, just apply lard and rinse it before use." This pot is used to pick up the braised soup and stew of the old pot, and the fire made is also boiled in this pot; the fire must not enter the old pot, otherwise the soup of the old pot will be considered waste. ”
Liu Changqing said with a smile: "You don't need to say this, although I am doing a white case, the basic truth is still understood." ”
"Also, I will watch steamed buns and make egg cakes in the future, and I will only be responsible for the old pot and the braised vegetables every day. As for the fried tofu as a side dish in the searing and deep-frying, these will have to trouble other masters. ”
Zhou Dong was embarrassed to say directly, the soul of the boiled fire is in the old soup and braised vegetables. As for burning and frying tofu or something, it is a work with little technical content, he only needs to point out a few key points, there is no need to start it himself, otherwise he will not be exhausted?
Energy potions can only be a bottle, and they are reluctant to spend on it.
Without waiting for Liu Changqing to speak, the fat man suddenly said, "Boss, do you think this roasted and fried tofu will be made by me?"
"You?"
Zhou Dong was stunned, yes, why didn't he think of a fat man, but the question is can you get up early?
