Chapter 261: Effects
The density of green iron is significantly greater than that of ordinary iron pots, but when it encounters flames, the heat conduction is many times faster.
According to the time of burning the pot yesterday, almost halfway through, Song Zixuan obviously saw that the bottom of the pot was already red.
He smiled a little, and his eyes slowly liked it.
After all, he is a chef, and for him, it is far more pleasant to get a good set of kitchen utensils than to take a good car.
Sure enough, since there was no unpleasant smell coming out of the pot today, not many people noticed Song Zixuan's side.
However, Zheng Hui inadvertently noticed that the pot in front of Song Zixuan was red, and he hurriedly walked over.
"Second master, have you been thinking about it lately? The pot is red......"
Song Zixuan smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, I'll check the quality of the pot." ”
Zheng Hui was stunned: "Ah......? So tested?"
Song Zixuan didn't say anything more, and Zheng Hui also left with interest, but out of curiosity, he still glanced at it from time to time.
When the bottom of the pot was completely red, Song Zixuan's eyes suddenly widened,
This is the time!
He picked up a basin of water next to him and poured it directly into the pot, and almost at the same time, a processed carp was also put in.
This method is different from the traditional method of boiling fish in Dumen, which is more like boiling fish soup, but because there are other ingredients and ingredients, the taste will not be as light as fish soup, but slightly stronger.
After simmering like this for about ten minutes, Song Zixuan began to add seasonings and medicinal herbs such as angelica and astragalus.
Soon, the aroma wafted out, and the color of the fish soup changed from white to yellow, and a layer of fish oil floated on the surface of the soup.
Then, Song Zixuan fished out the oil slick on the surface, and immediately put the whole shellfish, whitebait and squid in turn according to the freshness of the ingredients in his brain.
Seeing the squid rolling and the whitebait floating, Song Zixuan nodded and decisively turned off the heat and took it out of the pot.
"Second master, it's so fragrant, what good dishes do you make?"
A few chefs were not busy at this time, and they all gathered around when they smelled it.
Zheng Hui said: "Second master, this fish soup is really fresh, how to do it, it's too good." ”
Zheng Hui is really an old chef, so many years of chef experience, he can praise this fish soup for its deliciousness, it really tastes good.
Song Zixuan didn't say a word, looking at the Doulongmen in front of him, he was extremely worried.
In his opinion, whether it is the emperor's fried rice or the golden scale five soups, it should be called full of color and flavor.
But this is the Dragon Gate...... It's not classic enough just to look good, it's just an ordinary fish soup.
Let's talk about incense.
That's right, Zheng Hui and a few cooks said that this fish soup tasted fresh and fragrant, but compared to the aroma of golden scale five soups and imperial fried rice, Doulongmen seemed to be a big difference.
This feeling is very abstract, and Song Zixuan will not describe it, but he just feels that this Doulongmen is not at the level of the dishes on the recipes of the Qing Palace.
"How so...... Am I doing something wrong?"
As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, the fish was soft and rotten, although it was very flavorful, but it did not have the taste he wanted.
It is said that under the stimulation of alternating hot and cold water, the fish should be fragrant and smooth, but the fish meat is ...... At best, it's just a mess.
Taste other ingredients, the squid is a little old, the whitebait is a little rotten, and the taste of the whole shell is very good, but it can't make Song Zixuan feel classic.
Since it is not classic, can it be worthy of the dishes on the recipes of the Qing Palace?
Song Zixuan shook his head slowly, he must have been wrong, but ...... Which link is it?
"Second Master, what's wrong?" Zheng Hui asked when he saw Song Zixuan's solemn expression.
Song Zixuan came back to his senses at this time, shook his head and said, "Oh, it's nothing, Chef Zheng, you can taste it and give some advice." ”
Hearing this, several chefs were happy, after all, they knew that Song Zixuan used to make imperial fried rice in the Great Food Dynasty, and now Xunfeng Yuan's main dish, Golden Scale Five Soup, is also his dish.
But I haven't had a chance to taste it, and it's a rare thing to be able to taste it today.
Zheng Hui tasted it: "Second master, yes, this can be sold, the fish is very tasty, but next time I estimate that you should pay attention to the heat, the squid and whitebait are a little old." ”
Hearing this, Song Zixuan raised his head and looked at Zheng Hui, and said in his heart that this was not just a matter of heat, but even the taste was too far behind.
Song Zixuan has a scale in his heart, and he can judge with experience whether the taste of a dish can reach the level of Qing palace recipes.
Although the judging criteria are very abstract, Song Zixuan is very sure.
Obviously, this Doulongmen has not reached that level, and Song Zixuan also knows what the problem is, but he really doesn't know how to solve it.
"Zheng Hui, what about the taste?"
"It tastes good, but ...... Second master, I'll tell you the truth, this can't be compared with the Golden Scale Five Soups. ”
Song Zixuan nodded slowly, after all, Zheng Hui also has many years of experience, and the words he said after tasting a dish are still very pertinent.
"It shouldn't be on the same level, right?" Song Zixuan said.
Zheng Hui nodded: "Yes, the gap is relatively large, from the time you made it, when you made it, when you made five soups, the kitchen was already full of fragrance." ”
Then Song Zixuan did not rush to do it immediately, but returned to the office and pondered.
In the current situation, there may be many reasons for the failure of Doulongmen, including ingredients, heat and cooking order.
In terms of ingredients, Doulongmen requires anchovies to be made, but anchovies are not only very expensive, but there is no way to get them for the time being.
As for the heat...... Song Zixuan didn't know how to change this, so he boiled the pot to the extreme heat, and then boiled the fish in the pot under cold water, this process was no different from what the recipe said.
Finally, there is the order of cooking, Song Zixuan thinks that the order he chose is not wrong, if this method is not right, then it means that squid, whole shellfish and whitebait are not stewed with fish at all.
Thinking of this, Song Zixuan nodded: "It seems that this point should be similar to the five soups, if these three ingredients are cooked in advance and put in at the end, it will be good to preserve the taste." ”
Song Zixuan thought to himself, if he wants to change the mistakes in the cooking procedure, I'm afraid these points will have to be changed, but the anchovy will definitely take some time.
According to the old man, carp can also make absolute deliciousness, so the biggest problem is not in the ingredients.
It's cooking!
However, although it was not made this time, Song Zixuan got an unexpected gain, that is, he used a green iron wok for the first time.
The weight of the green iron wok will be slightly heavier than that of ordinary iron pots, but the arm strength of a normal man can still be controlled.
And when he was making fish soup just now, Song Zixuan obviously felt that the heating was faster than that of an ordinary iron pot, and it was very stable.
"This is a harvest, let's use a green iron wok for cooking in the future!"
In fact, Song Zixuan really wanted to try the feeling of using Ziyun iron wok, but it was just ...... That Qian Bulai didn't know what to think.
Thinking of this, Song Zixuan called Fang Rui and drove directly to the Fortune Hotel.
When he arrived at the door of the hotel, Song Zixuan glanced at Chunxia Garden, which was open at this time, but because there was no Li Yan, the other party's business was not much better.
At this time, it is close to the lunch rush, and there are not as many people in it as there are people in the Facai Hotel.
This made Song Zixuan more pleased, indicating that aside from the factor of imperial fried rice, there was no problem for the Fortune Hotel to kill Chunxia Garden.
Walking into the hotel, Song Zixuan went straight to the second floor.
One of the several private rooms on the second floor has been vacated for Qian Bulai to live in, and Song Zixuan also bought him a bed.
approached and knocked on the door, but no one answered inside, Song Zixuan shook his head helplessly.
It's really muddy that can't hold up the wall, and I'm sure I'm asleep again.
Song Zixuan pushed the door and walked in, and found that the door was not locked, but when he saw Qian Bulai in the private room, he was really stunned.
I saw Qian Bulai unkempt, his eyes staring at the messy white paper drawn in front of him, and the desktop and the ground were also this kind of messy paper.
Qian Bulai bit the pen with his mouth, reached out and scratched it on his head a few times, and I don't know how much dandruff fell off.
"There it is!"
Qian Bulai muttered to himself, and then began to sketch some patterns on the paper.
Song Zixuan wanted to say something, but seeing his focused appearance, he was embarrassed to disturb, so he immediately stood like this.
At this time, Qian Bulai jumped up suddenly, crumpled the paper directly into a paper ball like crazy, and then grabbed his hair and said, "Damn, no, no, what's wrong, what's wrong with me?"
Song Zixuan approached, picked up a paper ball on the ground, opened it and took a look.
When he saw the pattern on it clearly, Song Zixuan couldn't help but be stunned.
This is clearly a woks and a wok!
It's just that Qian Bulai's painting is a little messy, and several woks are drawn on a piece of paper, and even some are staggered, which can't be seen from a distance.
What Song Zixuan didn't expect was that this Qian Bulai's painting really had two brushes, which looked very realistic, as if it was a professional sketch.
As he was watching, a voice came from behind him.
"Mr. Song, you're here. ”
Song Zixuan turned around when he heard this, and saw that it was Li Yan who spoke.
"Hmm, Li Yan, this is the meal, why aren't you here in the back kitchen?" Song Zixuan said.
"When I heard you coming, I came and asked, how long are you going to let me stay here before you want to compete with me?"
Song Zixuan was stunned: "Ah, this ......"
In fact, Song Zixuan didn't play Li Yan's card at all during this time, this guy is now bent on challenging himself, in case he wins him, he really doesn't admit it, and this competition will be in vain.
And now that Chunxia Garden is still open, as long as Li Yan is in the Fortune Hotel, he can contain the other party, and they don't have the imperial fried rice, so they are basically waiting to close.
Thinking of this, Song Zixuan said: "I also plan to inspect you, hehe, I have to make sure that you will admit it if you lose!"
"Why don't I let you trust you so much? Okay, can I press your ID card for you here?"
Obviously, Li Yan was still in a hurry, after all, his purpose in coming to Dumen was very clear, that is, to challenge Song Zixuan.
Song Zixuan said: "Hehe, if you really want to leave at that time, can a document stop you?"
"You ......"
Li Yan was about to speak, but he heard Qian Bulai in the room suddenly shout: "Shut up, shut up for me!"
As he spoke, his eyes widened as he looked at the paper in front of him, and the pencil was drawing frantically on the paper, and he didn't understand it, thinking that he was like a child drawing paper with a pen to vent......
For a while, several people seemed to be taken aback by Qian Bulai and did not speak again.
And this silence lasted for more than a minute, and I saw Qian Bulai suddenly laugh.
"Haha, yes, that's the effect I want, perfect, perfect!"
