318 Boiling water cabbage in the perfect realm

Oh, has the main man finally appeared?

Zhou Dong and the others looked up, and Chef Qin was especially angry in his eyes, glaring at the person in front of him fiercely.

This man is about forty years old, with a round face and a pair of squinted eyes, which should have been a natural smile, but I don't know why, but he wants to be tight, as if he wants to make a look of not being angry but mighty, but unfortunately no one feels how majestic he is, but it adds a touch of funny.

The person is obviously not as handsome as Zhou Dongshuai, but he is very neat, wearing a snow-white chef's uniform and a flat chef's hat with lotus leaf lace, which is more pleasing to the eye than some chefs who wear a high hat at every turn, and seem to have a higher status in the back kitchen.

"Friends of Kyushu Dingshi, am I slacking off? Haha, Chef Qin, you don't have to look at me like this, I was rude that day, but I offended you. ”

This person clenched his hands into fists and smiled rarely, but he greeted everyone with his mouth, but his eyes were staring at Zhou Dong, Gu Yanan felt that his gaze at Zhou Dong seemed to be a little more eager than those little girls in the front hall.

Chef Qin snorted coldly, ignored him, there are rules for being diligent and diligent, you went to Kyushu Dingshi and slapped me in the face in public, now just look at Zhou Dong, whether he can get back to the field this time, it depends on Zhou Dong, he and Huai Liangren and Yan Yi just didn't eat anything wrong with this 'boiling water cabbage'.

Zhou Dong saw that it was this person's left hand, and there was a thick callus on his left hand, which was obviously caused by being in charge of the woks for a long time, and judging from the thickness of the calluses, this person was not a genius like Huai Liangren, and the calluses were even thicker than Yan Yi's.

Zhou Dong didn't have this kind of cocoon on his own hands, it was even more delicate and white than the hands of the big girl, so Huai Liangcai became more and more convinced that he was a genius who surpassed himself, and in order to compete with him, he didn't even return to France for the time being.

This person may not have a system and talent, but he has enough diligence, for this kind of person, Zhou Dong admires it in his heart.

"What is this master's surname?"

"Hehe, in front of Chef Zhou, I don't dare to call the word 'expensive', my surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Guanghui. ”

Gu Yanan sneered, and said in his heart where are you glorious.

Xu Guanghui didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Chef Zhou, I heard that you returned from Xiangjiang, so I thought about going to you......"

"Looking for me?"

Zhou Dong was stunned: "Master Xu has something to do with me?"

"I have watched several of Chef Zhou's competitions in Xiangjiang on TV, and they can be called whimsical and outstanding, which makes people itch in their hearts.

Especially the last ladder duck palm, it can be described as a soldier who surrenders without a fight, and it is for the sake of the army!"

Huai Liangren frowned, and said in his heart that this person can not speak, do you hold one by one and step on one by one?

"I'm sorry, Chef Huai, I didn't mean to praise anyone, I just talked about the facts......"

Xu Guanghui said with a smile: "Chef Zhou's dishes are good, and he must be an expert in eating.

Not long after I came to 'Food for the Sky', I heard about the name of 'Zhou Poisonous Tongue', I heard that you once ate all over the famous restaurants in Chudu in a few days, and every time you find something wrong, those chefs have to be convinced one by one, saying that they have learned something from you.

Don't hide it from Chef Zhou, I said that the best dish in my life is this 'boiling water cabbage', and I have asked many gourmets for advice after the dish, but the result is very disappointing, none of them can find fault with it......"

Yo drink, this person is crazy to the bone?

Xu Guanghui was a former and a backward compliment just now, and at this time he is even more invisible, Huai Liangren was very unkind to see this person before, but at this moment, he has a great acquaintance, and even sighs a little to himself.

Zhou Dong looked at him: "Do you want me to comment on your boiling cabbage?"

"Exactly.

I thought that if I went to invite him, Chef Zhou might not be willing to come, in case he refused, hehe...... My Lao Xu at least came out of 'Huacuiju', and I still need some face, so I ......"

Chef Qin seemed to suddenly understand something, and said angrily: "So you will go to Kyushu to eat and lose my face!"

"At this time, I really can't stand Chef Qin, I just think that it is much more convenient for Chef Qin to invite Chef Zhou than to invite Chef myself.

You are both the nine chefs of Kyushu Dingshi, and Chef Zhou is embarrassed to refuse me, but it may not be convenient to refuse you. ”

"The surname is Xu, you ...... You, you, you!"

Chef Qin was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a while.

Huai Liangren looked at Yan Yi, and both of them smiled knowingly, this Xu Guanghui is an old fritter!

To put it nicely, what are you afraid of Zhou Dong's refusal, but in fact, it is clear that he is unwilling to lower his identity,

Although Zhou Dong is famous, he is still young after all, and he is still on the front line, unlike several old men, who have already taken a back seat and become a gourmand from a chef.

Everyone is a chef, if Xu Guanghui takes the initiative to ask Zhou Dong to comment on his dishes, it is tantamount to admitting that he is not as good as Zhou Dong, and then he will really lose face.

In this way, Zhou Dong took the initiative to come to the door as a consumer, and he said a few more kind words, even if Zhou Dong picked out some faults, it could be regarded as a 'chance encounter' between peers, no matter what the final result was, no one would really publicize it.

In this way, he not only figured out Zhou Dong's catties, but also was invincible, and this calculation can be described as exquisite.

Zhou Dong is not stupid, he has also been in a mental hospital, what kind of person has not seen it? After thinking about it for a while, he understood, looked at Xu Guanghui and smiled softly: "It seems that Chef Xu has full confidence in his boiling cabbage?"

"Hehe, I don't dare to say that it is full, ninety percent of it is still there,

Chef Zhou, don't get me wrong, I really ask for advice, I believe that there must be something wrong with this boiling cabbage, but unfortunately over the years, countless famous and surnamed gourmets have eaten it, but no one has a problem eating it, which makes me very uneasy, and I feel that there is no room for improvement......"

Your sister's heart is uneasy, and there is no room for improvement.

Huai Liangren looked at Xu Guanghui blankly, he really admired the five-body throw to the ground at this moment, but he didn't expect to be forced to pretend like this?

Zhou Dong smiled and nodded: "Chef Xu is too modest, you asked me to evaluate this dish, which really makes me embarrassed."

Because I didn't eat any shortcomings in this boiled cabbage, there was nothing wrong with all aspects of performance......

I can now understand the foodies who have eaten this dish, because it's hard to find faults, so they can't give an opinion, right?

It is also human nature for Chef Xu to be troubled and worried that there will be no room for improvement, and I am really touched by Chef Xu's spirit of striving for further progress. ”

Including Chef Qin, everyone was stunned when they heard it, Zhou Dong couldn't eat this dish, what's the problem, is it really fake?

Xu Guanghui couldn't believe his ears, the famous 'Zhou poisonous tongue' and 'the haze above Chu Duqinxing' actually cooperated with him so much?

"Hehe, Chef Zhou, you have won the award, I can't imagine ......"

Zhou Dong glanced at him: "Chef Xu, I haven't finished my words yet......"

"Oh, Chef Zhou, please. ”

Xu Guanghui hugged his fists gently, his face was full of modesty and sincerity, and he secretly said in his heart: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, my boiling cabbage was on the national banquet, although I was invited to just make such a dish, but I have experienced the test of countless gourmets.

You may not know that my boiling cabbage is known as the closest to perfect dish at previous state banquets!

The official rhetoric, the closest to perfection is naturally perfection, how can it be easy to find faults?

Could it be that you are more professional than the team of gourmets who set the dishes and select the chefs for the state banquet?

Zhou Dong said lightly: "If there is no problem, then find out the problem, find it, and if you find it, there will naturally be a problem with your dish." ”

"Find ...... Find out what's wrong?"

Not only did Xu Guanghui hear it inexplicably, but even Huailiangren Yan Yi and the others couldn't help laughing,

Gu Yanan glanced at Zhou Dong, and said in his heart Why didn't I see it earlier, you guy is quite annoying, but it's well said, for this kind of guy who pretends to be X, you have to use this trick!

"That's right, it's to find out what's wrong. ”

Zhou Dong was very strange about everyone's reaction, I said seriously, is it necessary to have such a strange expression?

"Theoretically, as long as it's not perfect, it's all problematic, unless Chef Xu thinks your dish has reached the perfect state?"

Xu Guanghui was stunned: "Naturally not, how many old-timers in Qinxing have never said that the dishes they make are flawless, how dare I?"

His pretend X is based on superficial modesty, and if he thinks he is perfect, it is tantamount to slapping himself in the face, and he can't pretend to be able to do so.

"Well, in fact, the realm of perfection is not necessarily unattainable, as far as I know, there are other realms beyond perfection...... However, Chef Xu himself is not confident, which means that my judgment is not wrong, and there must be a problem with your boiling cabbage. ”

is still the old Zhou Xing, this is said to be cloudy and foggy, it is simply the first god of Huaxia Qinxing,

There is a realm above perfection, what is it? Is it the legendary 'Divine Chef' who has long since retired, or is it the fantasy cooking to break the void?

Huai Liangxin sighed in his heart, his pretending to be X is exposed to the surface, it is really inferior, Zhou Dong and Xu Guanghui's pretenses, that is really Gao forced to be so lonely, one is humble on the surface, the other is to create problems if there is no problem, and to create a topic if there is no topic, this is the gap......

"Chef Zhou, please. ”

"If you don't dare to advise, just tell me what I think.

Chef Xu uses the steaming method to pre-process this 'boiling water cabbage', so what do you think of the difference between the steaming method and the soaking method?"

In fact, Zhou Dong has never done this boiling cabbage, but when he was in Chudu Mental Hospital, he once heard Grandpa He say that that time it was the old grandfather who was nervous, and the chef came to the hospital to engage in welfare and made this dish for the patients.

As if his old man had insight, he insisted that the craftsmanship of other chefs was not good, and this boiling water cabbage was treated with the method of soaking, and it was first inferior, but fortunately, the chef didn't bother with him, knowing that he was sick.

Zhou Dong was obsessed, and always felt that Grandpa He's illness was different from others, and other patients or artists and scientists had stimulated the cells of artists and scientists because of their illness, and after his old man got sick, he stimulated the gourmet cells, and he was also the most unpopular poisonous tongue attribute among gourmets.

Since Grandpa He said that the steaming method is more authentic, it is probably true, this is the master who said that 'the best taste in the world is plum salt'.

Although he hadn't done it before, after eating Xu Guanghui's boiling cabbage with perfect-level tasting skills, Zhou Dong had already realized in his heart, and now he just wanted to hear what the chef had to say, in order to confirm what he thought in his heart.

"Hehe, Chef Zhou is going to test my old Xu, when making this dish, if the cabbage heart is put into boiling water, the speed is the fastest, but there will be a drawback, that is, it will aggravate the moisture of the cabbage.

Cabbage is originally heavy in moisture, and boiling water cabbage, called boiling water, is a water-like broth, so we should try our best to avoid the water vapor of the cabbage itself, and boiling water will magnify this problem. ”

Seeing Zhou Dong nodding, Xu Guanghui smiled and said: "In addition, in addition to water vapor, boiling water is also easy to overcook the cabbage, if the cabbage heart is cooked in the initial treatment, it is difficult to taste in the broth." ”

"Well, in fact, in summary, the temperature of boiling water is too high when it is raw into the water, and it cools down quickly when it comes out of the water, and it is easy to be locked in the smell. ”

Zhou Dong nodded and said: "If my understanding is not wrong, boiling water cabbage certainly relies on the special fine hanging broth, but the cabbage is always the mainstay, to achieve perfection, it is necessary to let the cabbage not only into the taste of the broth, but also to retain its own crispness, if the boiling water is mastered well, it is no problem to retain the crispness of the cabbage itself, but it is difficult to meet the previous requirement." ”

"Amazing, if I was suspicious of Chef Zhou before, now I am convinced!"

Xu Guanghui praised: "If it weren't for the boiling water cabbage that has been made hundreds or thousands of times, it would not have been possible for Chef Zhou to have such an understanding!"

But Chef Zhou, you haven't said why my dish isn't perfect?"

Zhou Dong blushed for a while and smiled: "The steaming method is easier to control the initial ripeness of the cabbage core, and the steaming temperature is urgent, and in the slow steaming process, it is easier to make the cabbage taste in the broth, so the authentic boiling water cabbage still needs to be steamed."

However, the difficulty lies in the other problem, how to partially retain the crisp texture of the cabbage during the steaming process, so as to achieve the "flavor and taste alone" that chefs are pursuing, which is more difficult to achieve in the steaming method than with the steaming method.

That's why it is said that if the steaming method is 100 points, the steaming method may only be 80 points. This is also the reason why many chefs will use the simmering method to handle this dish throughout their lives.

I said that there is no problem with Master Xu's boiling cabbage, because you have no mistakes, if you insist on finding the fault, it is that your steaming method is not perfect enough, resulting in this dish becoming a dish with no problems, but only without problems.

It's still a little bit short of perfect......"

Xu Guanghui was confused when he heard this: "Chef Zhou, don't just say, why don't you make a boiling cabbage yourself, and let my old Xu also learn and learn?"

"That's not going to work?"

Zhou Dong shook his head again and again, what are you kidding, my brother hasn't practiced yet, isn't it going to be ugly now: "Master Xu forgot my identity, I am a guest who came to consume today, how can there be a reason for a guest to enter the back kitchen?"

Xu Guanghui smiled bitterly: "Chef Zhou is right, how did I forget about this matter." Then what do you say, you said it so well, you have to show your hand and let us open our eyes......"

"When my private room opens, I'll use this boiled cabbage as the main dish on the first day of opening!"
