Chapter 259: The Importance of Kitchen Utensils
However, now Fang Jingzhi's head is clear and unclear, and Song Zixuan is not sure.
If there is fish in the main ingredient of Doulongmen, then I don't understand what that sentence means?
Fang Jingzhi put down his chopsticks and said, "Eat fish...... The ferry is near the sea, so the people of the ferry like to eat sea fish, but the people of the ferry are very good at eating fish, so there are still some people who only eat river fish......"
Hearing this, Song Zixuan and Fang Rui glanced at each other, and neither seemed to understand what Old Man Fang meant.
"River fish...... Grandpa, isn't this carp a river fish?"
Fang Jingzhi nodded slowly: "Yes, but you have made it invalid, Sun Thief, you can eat." ”
Fang Rui was happy when he heard it, and began to eat a bowl of rice.
Fang Jingzhi took a sip of wine and immediately sat back on the bed.
Song Zixuan also followed: "Grandpa, I've been reading a recipe recently, but there is a sentence in Doulongmen...... I don't quite understand. ”
Hearing this, Fang Jingzhi smiled, shook his head and said softly: "There is no wine and food, there is no need for gold and silver; ”
Song Zixuan was stunned: "Grandpa, how do you know?"
"Hehe, Sun Thief, if you can read this sentence, in fact, you have basically realized Doulongmen, but it's just ...... You lost in learning. ”
Song Zixuan nodded slowly: "Yes, grandpa, can you teach me?"
Fang Jingyi smiled: "Teach me, think beautifully, you kid has no knowledge, go back to study by yourself." ”
"This ...... Grandpa, let's stop laughing, how do I know how to read that book?"
"Then tell me, what do these words mean?"
"You have to eat without wine, even if you don't want gold or silver, there are catkins floating on the water of the Spring River, and snowflakes are out of the water...... Grandpa, how can this snowflake come out of the water in the spring?"
"Hahaha, you stupid thing, Snowflake...... It must be snowflakes?"
Song Zixuan was stunned for a moment, what else could this snowflake be if it wasn't a snowflake? But thinking of what Old Man Fang said just now......
"Grandpa, is it a fish?"
Fang Jingzhi smiled and said nothing.
"Grandpa, you're talking. "Song Zixuan is in a hurry, and he really has nothing to do with this old man.
If you want to say that it is better than selling Guanzi, no one in this old man will accept it......
Fang Jingzhi coughed lightly twice, and said, "The broken fish made by your kid has ruined the appetite of the master, so let's get some peanuts, I'll tell you." ”
Song Zixuan is so angry, come on, since Fang Jingzhidu said it, he can only do it.
Immediately, he trotted out of the alley and bought a bag of peanuts, sprinkled some on the small table for Fang Jingzhi, and poured him a glass of wine.
"Grandpa, can you say it this time?"
Fang Jingzhi was unhurried, took a sip of wine, and threw two peanuts into his mouth.
"Go home and read the poems of Sadus. ”
"Sadu thorn?" Song Zixuan was stunned.
He knew that this person was a poet of the Yuan Dynasty, and his paintings were also very famous, and now his genuine works are all collectible and priceless.
Fang Jingzhi didn't say anything after that, obviously just like clicking here.
Song Zixuan thought for a while, got up and said, "Ruizi, you eat first, help the old man clean up in a while, and I'll go home." ”
"Okay, second master, you can go. ”
Song Zixuan's house was a few yards away from Fang Jing's house, and he ran quickly when he went out, and he arrived home in more than a minute.
When he got home and took out his mobile phone, Song Zixuan began to check, but before he checked, he was stunned.
Now it's all about checking with your phone...... Why are you in such a hurry to come back? Where to check is not to check......
also wanted to realize the Doulongmen so much, Song Zixuan felt that his brain was a little empty in the past few days.
He simply took a few breaths, and then looked up the poems of Sadu.
Since Sadu's poems are not popular, Song Zixuan has not read too much, so he began to read them one by one.
It wasn't until he saw a poem that Song Zixuan's serious expression finally eased and showed a smile.
Yangzhou wine is beautiful in the world, and the small trough walks the pearls at night. The gold plate is slippery and broken white jade, and the silver urn is warm and yellow crispy. The willow flowers blow all the spring river rises, and the snowflake anchovy comes out of the silk gang. Wang Lang crossed the river with wine, and the wine and fish would get drunk in the Spring Festival Gala. The world is as repeated, and you will have to drink a hundred empty pots. The dripping palace robe is also a strange person, and he looks at the green lantern at night.
"Snowflake...... Anchovy, hehe, it turns out that the real main ingredient of Doulongmen is here, anchovies!"
"That's right, if that's the case, then there is only one main ingredient in Doulongmen, and that is anchovy, while squid, whitebait and whole shellfish are all auxiliary ingredients. ”
Thinking of this, Song Zixuan nodded affirmatively, now that this sentence is clear, he is sure to start trying Doulongmen!
Main ingredient: Anchovy.
Complementary food: squid, whole shellfish, whitebait.
In addition to green onions, ginger and common spices, condiments include perilla leaves, angelica and astragalus.
Song Zixuan laughed: "That's right, it's all through, but ...... Compared with the Golden Scale Five Soups, it seems that Doulongmen does not add too many Chinese medicinal materials. ”
This made Song Zixuan a little puzzled, to put it bluntly, the golden scale five soups are a kind of medicinal food, but due to the cooking techniques, there is no strong taste of traditional Chinese medicine.
But how could Doulongmen give up the medicinal properties of food?
"Yes, the anchovy itself is an extremely valuable medicinal material, and it alone is already extremely replenishing, and I don't feel that there is a need for medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. ”
However, at this time, Song Zixuan was facing a huge problem.
That's ...... How do you make anchovy?
Anchovy itself is a precious ingredient, in the 80s of the last century, it has reached the price of 7 or 800 yuan a kilogram, and now, even if it is farmed, it costs more than 300 yuan a kilogram.
Nowadays, wild anchovies can be said to be basically extinct, and the only ones are listed as protected animals by the state, so it seems that they can only be farmed as food.
The ferry is far away from the Yangtze River, and the market does not sell anchovies, so Song Zixuan decided to build close to the water, since his own company is to manage the seafood market, it is better to directly sign a contract with the big merchants in the market to buy farmed anchovies in bulk.
However, there are no ingredients for Doulongmen at the moment......
Song Zixuan thought about it, and suddenly remembered what Fang Jingzhi had just said, why can't you replace it with carp first? If it succeeds, you can replace it with anchovy when the time comes.
Thinking of this, Song Zixuan smiled slightly and decided to try it tonight.
He then ran out of the door, the market was almost closed, but he caught the last train and bought two more carp.
Carrying two fish, Song Zixuan took a taxi and went straight to Xunfeng Garden.
This way made the taxi driver nauseous enough, and the perfume in the car had just been sprayed, which was good, the whole car smelled fishy.
However, when he got out of the car, Song Zixuan gave the driver an extra fifty yuan, and the driver was happy.
Anyway, when I drove back, I opened the window and went around, and it is estimated that the smell will be dissipated, and I will take fifty yuan for nothing, which is worth it.
Before getting out of the car, the driver did not forget to be polite to Song Zixuan.
When I arrived at Xunfeng Garden, it was also seven or eight o'clock, and there were still some people who came to eat Russian food, and the second floor was also full of several private rooms.
However, no one ordered five soups, so Song Zixuan didn't have to work immediately.
Directly into the back kitchen, to his own exclusive stove, Song Zixuan began to prepare various ingredients.
The whole shellfish is passed through the water, the squid is cut into flowers, the whitebait is washed, and finally the carp is scaled.
After everything was ready, Song Zixuan began to cook according to the recipe.
Unlike Wudao Soup, Doulongmen does not have cumbersome steps for boiling medicine, which saves Song Zixuan a lot of trouble.
But the focus is on the fish stew.
According to the recipe, the taste of anchovy should be kept fresh and juicy, less stewed fish is not enough, and more is old, which is really a place to pay attention to.
In addition, squid, whole shellfish and whitebait are very strict in terms of taste, first of all, they must be stewed, and secondly, they must be kept fresh and tender, and once they are overheated, all the ingredients will be old.
Therefore, Song Zixuan decided that the ingredients should be put in turn, after all, the characteristics of each seafood and river fresh are different, and the degree of stew resistance is naturally different.
However, just after putting the carp in the pot and putting the seasoning in it, Song Zixuan suddenly regretted it.
Wrong!
As described in the recipe, tighten the fish in cold water to keep the meat elastic, i.e., ...... Fish need a pot under cold water.
Not only that, but the pot should be extremely hot!
Pour cold water into the hot pot and put the fish in the pot at this moment, so that not only can you lock in the tenderness of the fish with cold water, but also heat the water as quickly as possible.
In this process, the fish is extremely cold and hot, and the meat becomes tender and locks the juice in the meat.
And the most important thing to pay attention to here is to grasp the heat, once wrong...... The meat quality is wasted.
Thinking of this, Song Zixuan had no choice but to pour out the fish and seasonings directly and give them to other chefs for backup, after all, when a guest ordered braised carp, this fish could still be used.
Then, Song Zixuan began to burn the pot in this way.
According to the recipe, to burn the pot to the extreme, it can be ...... Is it red?
Soon, white gas came out of the pot, accompanied by a strong smell of metal calcination, pungent and unpleasant......
On the side, Zheng Hui hurriedly said: "Second master, look at the pot...... It looks like it's going to burn. ”
Song Zixuan nodded: "Chef Zheng, according to your experience, how far can this iron pot burn?
Hearing this, Zheng Hui was stunned: "What? It should be okay, but ...... I haven't tried to cook, second master, what do you want to do?"
Song Zixuan didn't speak again, but stared at the wok in front of him.
The pungent smell is getting worse and worse, and many chefs are already aware of it.
Song Zixuan is also a little weak-hearted, maybe ...... That's the limit.
Okay, let's get started!
He picked up a basin of cold water and poured it into the pot.
But at this very moment...... 呲呲...... Click......
With a crisp sound, the iron pot exploded directly!
A group of chefs hurried over, after all, it was the boss in front of the pot, especially Zheng Hui, who rushed to the front.
"Second master, are you alright......?"
Song Zixuan shook his head in shock: "No, it's okay...... Go ahead. ”
Looking at the exploding iron pot in front of him, he knew that it must have been due to the extreme alternation of cold and heat that made the iron pot explode directly.
But how can it be burned to the extreme heat?
At this time, Song Zixuan suddenly realized something.
Yes, perhaps...... A green iron wok!
Yes, it must be the case, the ordinary iron pot material will definitely not be able to meet the needs of the bucket dragon door, only the kitchenware with better toughness can.
