550 Taste the sea of bitterness

Zhou Dong looked at Zhou Aiguo: "Listening to the name of this dish, it seems to have something to do with Salmon Vegetarian Food, and the naming method is very similar to Nanputuo Vegetarian Cuisine?"

After becoming a contemporary young chef, Zhou Dong not only bored his head to improve his cooking skills, but also spent some time to understand the major cuisines in China and some dishes that are not cuisines but are very famous, including the famous Nanputuo vegetarian cuisine.

In fact, the accurate name of Nanputuo vegetarian cuisine should be called Nanputuo Zhai cuisine, firstly, this cuisine was first born from Shamen, and the vegetarian cuisine of Lingyin Temple is bald and bald, and the monk is not close to the Buddha or kissed it.

The second is to pay great attention to 'vegetarian dishes', which is very authentic.

Cai Bo, the god of wind and food, once said that the kind of vegetarian vegetarian dishes that seek meat are actually inferior, such as what vegetarian chicken and vegetarian meat you do, although they cater to the tastes of some consumers, but they are also considered killing, just the idea of killing, and this kind of vegetarian dish is essentially tempting by the idea of meat dishes, which is really inferior.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and top foodies like Cai Bo also admit that if vegetarian meat can be cooked to the extent that it can be real, it is also good cooking skills and can be regarded as excellent; what he really criticizes is that the kind of vegetarian meat dishes that are not like four are made, and the idea of hanging a meat dish is not like it, and the taste is not like it, which is garbage.

For example, Yan Yi, a lay disciple of Shamen, after leaving the mountain gate, wants to work as a cook in the 'mortal world', not only to be able to make vegetarian dishes, but also to have the ability to make vegetarian dishes, and to the extent that he can do it to the extent of chaos, this is the breakthrough of the craftsman's skills and reached the level of the master, even if it is the left way of the side door, it is also the Tao!

In addition, the cuisine of South Putuo is often ingenious, not to mention the taste, the name is a top one good, what half moon Shenjiang, South China Sea Golden Lotus, easy to evoke a variety of foodies 'taste fantasy', the most famous contemporary carrot, political altar wall grass, great talent, university scholar Mr. Guo once praised with a poem and said, "I came from Zhoushan, Putuo and Putuo." The natural forest ravines are good, and I regret that there are many titles.

The half moon sinks to the bottom of the river, and thousands of peaks enter the eye sockets. Three cups lead to the avenue, how do the five elders mean?'

However, a good Nanputuo vegetarian dish was actually praised by this guy with low character in writing poems, and I don't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate.

Zhou Aiguo saw the teacher's question, so he naturally didn't dare to arouse people's appetites, and replied respectfully: "Teacher, this dish is actually created by Mr. Yuan, and the inspiration is indeed from Nanputuo Zhai cuisine, I was fortunate to learn the method of this dish when I was in the garden in Kyoto......"

"Oh, it was created by the owner of the garden?"

Zhou Dong nodded, glanced at Zhou Aiguo with a smile, and was very satisfied, this kid is much smarter than the fat man.

Zhou Aiguo is smart and clever in actually putting this dish together with fried peanuts, spicy shredded radish and white chopped chicken, first infinitely lowering the expectations of these grandmaster-level judges, and then suddenly throwing a bombshell, straight into the high ~ tide,

It's like writing, originally you thought that the protagonist was just a soft rice man who was angry, but who would have thought that he would become a super strongman and slap his face with X everywhere, this strong contrast can immediately arouse everyone's curiosity.

And the other three cold dishes are not very complicated, which is equivalent to reducing the difficulty of their operation in disguise, as long as this Cihang Pudu can be done well, this cold dish part can get a high score, and at the same time, he also took this opportunity to make a name for his other master Yuan Zidan, and handed in a satisfactory 'homework' to Zhou Dong, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

Yuan Zidan looked at Zhou Aiguo with a smile and said, "Aiguo, you haven't reported the name of the hot dish yet? Hurry up, it's not good to make the seniors wait for a long time." ”

"Teacher, seniors, my hot dishes are: Kung Pao Chicken, Sixi Meatballs, Fragrant Conch, Tai Chi Prawns, Squirrel Fish, Clear Soup Fish Balls, Soup Soaked Belly, Stewed Bamboo Shoots......

With the addition of the previous four cold dishes, there are 12 dishes in total. ”

"Young people are so smart. ”

Dong Qishen laughed, looked at his 'nephew', and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became: "There are dishes of the eight major cuisines, but you treat them equally." But it seems that there is still a lack of barbecue dishes, and there is also the carving skill that your master wants to see?"

Zhou Aiguo said with a smile: "Chairman Dong, please let me leave a little suspense, barbecue and carving will be reflected in the same dish." ”

"Hehe, that's even more interesting, Chef Zhou, your disciple is very powerful, it seems that you can be your big disciple. ”

Dong Qishen laughed, Zhou Aiguo's dishes hadn't been served yet, and he had already set the tone first. With his foreshadowing, most of these people present will have to give some face, even if Zhou Aiguo misses after a while, he will not be blamed too much.

This courtyard house in Kyoto is actually the headquarters of the Chinese Cuisine and Food Association, which is very hidden in the world, the back kitchen is in the shade of a few pomegranate trees, Zhou Aiguo reported the name of the dish, and then turned into the back kitchen, and soon a stream of aroma overflowed from the back kitchen.

The people present were all experts, just sniffed the taste and nodded secretly, this Zhou Aiguo is naturally not as amazing as his chef, but it can be judged from the taste, he is very effective in controlling the time of various dishes, if there is no accident after a while, it must be all kinds of dishes served at the same time, no difference in seconds.

Zhou Dong was also a little surprised, although he had been cultivating Zhou Aiguo with his heart, he didn't teach him so many dishes, he actually covered the eight major cuisines, and glanced at Yuan Zidan curiously, Yuan Zidan already knew what he wanted to ask, and said with a slight smile: "Although Suiyuan cuisine is not included in the major cuisines, it is very important to pay attention to various basic skills, this kid is very talented, and the basic skills are already close to the special level, and during this time in Kyoto, he often uses ' The purpose of the challenge is to study the dishes of the major cuisines, and there have been a few times when I have caused trouble, but I have the cheekiness to solve it......"

"This kid ......"

Zhou Dong almost didn't laugh out loud, Zhou Aiguo didn't have much money with him when he went to Kyoto, in addition to the salary in Kyushu Dingshi, it was 20,000 yuan given by himself, and it was absolutely enough to have Yuan Zidan to take care of food and housing, but it was really not enough to eat a big restaurant every day.

I didn't expect him to come up with this kind of trick in order to learn the famous dishes of major cuisines, his brain is flexible enough, and his future is immeasurable.

Maybe after he retires, this kid will be more suitable than himself to be the head chef of Kyushu Ding Food, right?

At about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the cooks arranged by the Culinary Gastronomy Association set up a large round table in the courtyard and served the dishes one by one.

This large round table can seat more than 20 people, to be honest, twelve dishes plus a barbecue is far from enough, but the present is not only a famous chef, but also a famous mouth, unless you meet Zhou Dong's cooking skills, the dishes made by the general chef are at most superficial, and no one will tear open their belly and eat it to their heart's content.

After the twelve dishes were laid out, the major grandmasters first looked at the dishes, and then glanced at the dishes of the cuisine to which they belonged, and immediately shifted their eyes without finding any major defects, staring at the 'Cihang Pudu'.

To tell the truth, the ingredients of Zhou Aiguo's 12 dishes are still not small, first of all, they take into account the eight major cuisines, so that these old masters can calm their minds; they are not as simple as fried peanuts and spicy shredded radish, or some dishes that can be named in some major cuisines, but are not particularly complicated and difficult.

For example, he would not touch a dish that is specially designed to be difficult for chefs.

But if it's just that, it's not necessarily too mediocre, Yuan Zidan also said that his basic skills are close to the special level, in fact, the comprehensive strength is still some distance compared to those old special level chefs, and this 'Cihang Pudu' is like a huge highlight, which can cover up some of his shortcomings.

This Cihang Pudu lives up to its name.

In the white porcelain deep plate, there is a pool of soup water green, which obviously means the lake and the sea, since it is Cihang Pudu, it is the so-called 'bitter sea' of Shamen, and above the bitter sea, it is a small boat carved from pumpkins, this boat has no sails and no oars, but there is a white-clothed monk with a smile on his face standing on the bow of the boat, which is the Nanhai Guanyin Bodhisattva of great compassion and compassion to save the suffering and save the suffering!

Young people like Zhou Dong didn't feel anything yet, but some diligent old masters suddenly frowned, and looked up at Yuan Zidan who was smiling at the table.

I'm afraid that the owner of the garden is confused, and he actually created such a dish?

The name of the dish Cihang Pudu is very good, but this is a dish to be eaten, not a plate that is purely used to add color to the extra-large banquet, and it still needs to be eaten in the end.

Look at this dish again, except for the soup is the pumpkin boat, and then there is the white-clothed Bodhisattva, just drinking the soup can't be called a dish, but if you want to eat, what to eat? Eat the Bodhisattva!

Whether you are a Shamen believer or not, it is not a good sign to eat the Bodhisattva with your mouth open, you must know that there are many things to pay attention to in Chinese cuisine, and it is best to pay attention to auspiciousness in all dishes, such as what belt is on the court, four happy balls, even if you don't deliberately please and please auspiciousness, but you don't deliberately look for bad luck and touch the mold.

Yuan Zidan is also a grandmaster, and the owner of Suiyuan is even more famous, how could he create such a dish, didn't he bring Zhou Dong's students to the ditch?

Yuan Zidan smiled slightly, picked up the spoon and tapped it lightly on the edge of the plate, and there was a 'ding' sound, and the 'bitter sea' on the plate immediately raised waves slightly.

"Haha, why don't you taste the boundless sea of bitterness first, and feel the joys and sorrows of life?"
