Chapter 110: The Secret in the Lobster (Fifth Update, Asking for Support!)

"You've got to win first. ”

Finally, when he saw the dagger, Huai Liangren was already too lazy to disguise: "If you lose, according to the principle of fairness, today's chef will be you."

I want to eat the secret egg cake, I want to eat the porridge with lotus root and jade, and I want to eat the stewed and boiled fire! I have all the ingredients ready for you! Hmph, I couldn't eat the porridge you made the day before yesterday......

The morning before yesterday, he originally planned to go to the breakfast department to relive the delicious food, but because he received a notice from the Jiangsu Provincial Review Committee temporarily, he must avoid suspicion as a judge.

This requirement is not only for Huailiangren, before the end of the review of Kyushu Dingshi, all judges must avoid suspicion!

Dong Qishen, chairman of the Suzhou Provincial Cuisine Association, is really depressed, what is this called? Counting him, there are only five judges who are qualified to evaluate hotels with more than four stars, and now four of them have become frequent customers of the Kyushu Ding Food Breakfast Department?

If this goes on for a long time, the impact will be very bad, can other restaurants have no opinions? When the yellow mud falls into the crotch of the pants, it will be either or.

Old Man Dong actually still has something in his heart that he hasn't said, if it weren't for the fact that he is the chairman of the Suzhou Provincial Cuisine Association, I would have wanted to try that kid's craftsmanship a long time ago. It's better that you can't take into account my old man's feelings?

"Don't think about it, you can't eat anything. ”

Zhou Dong replied lightly, holding two glasses of white wine, shaking them gently in his hands.

"As far as I know, Burgundy also has four appellations, all with a history of making white wines.

The white wines produced by Bourgogne Blanc are the simplest, they are not aged in oak barrels, they have a simple taste and can be excluded in the first place. The Chablis white wine even has a lime flavor that I don't like, and you shouldn't use it to confuse me......"

After upgrading to the perfect level of tasting, countless ingredients, finished dishes, drinks ...... The relevant information appeared in Zhou Dong's brain out of thin air, forming a husband-wive-like harmony with his taste buds, and he no longer had to do his homework in advance to consult Du Niang.

Zhou Dong, who could finally leave Du Niang aside, was inevitably a little proud, shaking the wine glass in his left hand and said: "The white wine produced in the Magong area is most likely to become your trap, because the high-priced Magong white is likely to be aged in oak barrels, as long as it is filled with this kind of metal screw stopper, it is very deceptive."

For example, this cup should be the best of Magon Bai, and it can go perfectly with any kind of food, such as fish and shrimp?"

Huai Liangren's face finally changed, today's plan was originally for him to treat him, and it was nothing to go to the kitchen for Zhou Dong, but the bureau he carefully arranged was so easily cracked by Zhou Dong, which made him really angry in his heart!

There is a kind of resentment that is both Yu and Liang.

Zhou Dong shook the wine glass in his right hand: "To be honest, I was almost deceived by you just now, but fortunately I was calm enough and rinsed my mouth with pure water."

It should have been my choice, Bernese Chuba!

It is 'born' with fresh aromas of white mushrooms and truffles, and when aged in oak barrels, notes of cinnamon, toasted almonds and toasted bread appear. Meursault in CΓ΄te de Bourne produces the world's most complex and balanced Chardonnay grapes, and the white wine made from it is truly a perfect match for lobster!"

Zhou Dong tasted it again, then put down the wine glass in his right hand and said: "Although it has been aged in oak barrels, it is still very 'young' compared to those 'old' famous red wines.

If it had been a few years older, I would probably have chosen another bottle.

Because we all know that if it's with fish and shrimp, a 'younger' top white wine is actually the best choice.

Lao Huai, I'm done, when can I eat your lobster?"

The corners of Huai Liangren's mouth twitched a few times: "I'll do it now, you wait!" After speaking, he pulled his legs and left, as if he was in a hurry to escape the disaster.

Looking at the back of the legendary genius of French cuisine leaving in a hurry, the corners of Dai Jun's mouth twitched obviously. This is a Huai Shi, who only fought for one round, and lost to the young man in front of him who was wearing a pullover and big pants, and looked harmless to humans and animals?

He had personally stripped off the logos on the three bottles of white wine. He dared to guarantee that if he had not known in advance, even if he could barely distinguish Mouton, he would never have been able to distinguish between Magon White and Bern Chubai.

You know, that bottle is the best of Magon White, it has also been aged in oak barrels, and only an experienced professional taster can tell it.

Dai Jun laughed dryly, took out a gold card from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Dong: "Mr. Zhou, this is a six-fold VIP card in our store, please smile." It would be our honor for someone like Mr. Zhou to be a valued customer of our store. ”

"Well, thank you. ”

Reaching out not to hit the smiling person, Zhou Dong did not refuse, took the VIP card and put it in his pocket. Anyway, he won't come to such an expensive place if there is no one to treat him. Even if it's six folds, can you eat what these people make?

Baked lobster with French cheese is a dish that needs to be eaten hot, and it must be eaten freshly, and the baked lobster made by a three-Michelin-starred chef is bound to take more thought and time, unlike what the French can just bake at home.

So after forty minutes, Huai Liang appeared in front of Zhou Dong with a plate in his hand.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”

Huai Liangren smiled faintly and gently placed the silver plate covered with the plate lid in front of Zhou Dong, and the temporary waiter was about to help Zhou Dong uncover the plate lid, but he stopped him with his eyes.

"Zhou Dong, before I start eating this dish, I should give you a hint.

It's not a simple baked lobster, on the contrary, it hides a secret, like a mysterious pyramid, waiting for the smart to discover its story.

Of course, if you don't have this ability, you can eat it stupidly like ordinary people, and then praise my craftsmanship, and I will be very happy......"

"Here it is again, and I know it will be like this. ”

Zhou Dong glanced at Huai Liangren, this guy has calculated these routines since the moment he invited himself to dinner, right? It's really depressing, what do you think about a three-Michelin-starred chef compared to my intern?

Even Dai Jun looked at Huai Liangren with a strange expression. What's wrong with Huaishi? It's just a French-style baked lobster, and when it comes to breaking the world, it's just that you can put some effort into the quality of the lobster and the quality of the cheese.

And this dish is actually done in an oven, as long as there is a high-quality oven, enough high-quality ingredients and a certain amount of experience, even ordinary people can do it very well.

He even thinks that in this dish, he may not be much worse than Master Huai. Or is the gap just a blue ribbon?

Zhou Dong shook his head, ignored the aggressive half-blooded French rooster of Huai Liangren, and lifted the lid on his own.

When this dish appeared, Dai Jun and the temporary waiter suddenly let out an irrepressible exclamation, and even Zhou Dong's gaze paused slightly.

No wonder this guy has the confidence to challenge me, it turns out that he really has a hand.

On a silver dinner plate inlaid with turquoise on the edge, a lobster with a vigorous beard and a lifelike expression appeared in front of everyone.

A few green seaweed leaves are placed around the shrimp body, and the strong marine style is suddenly brought to the face, and at the shrimp head, there are also two carefully selected small tomatoes, just like the dragon head playing with pearls in Chinese myths and legends.

Zhou Dong nodded slightly, after all, he has Chinese ancestry, and the presentation of Huailiangren's dish is intentionally combined with Chinese elements.

What really amazes everyone is not the presentation of this baked lobster, but the ingenious way of handling the lobster.

Baked lobster is also regarded as a 'big road' in French cuisine, and it can basically be made in a French restaurant.

But nine out of nine French restaurants are to twist the shrimp head, then cut the lobster in half, pile the shrimp meat on the shrimp shell, and finally put the shrimp tail in the direction of the shrimp head. If you talk about appearance alone, it is many times worse than the squirrel Guiyu in China.

Many proud foreign chefs always like to accuse the Chinese cuisine of not looking good, and it is not as exquisite as the presentation of Michelin restaurants, that is, these frogs at the bottom of the well have never seen real Chinese cuisine plating.

The squirrel fish on the plate can scare them to death, if you don't ask the price, it's okay, but if you ask the price, you will be scared to death again.

Huai Liangren's baked lobster turned out to be whole, a lifelike lobster is grilled to a golden red and lies on the plate, as if it is sleeping underwater, and you can't even see the common side dish onion and black pepper that many people can't accept.

Zhou Dong nodded: "The mind is very ingenious, it is indeed good." ”

Huai Liangren smiled when he heard this, and was about to be proud, but he saw Zhou Dong pick up the knife and quickly slash from the shrimp neck to the shrimp tail, and his eyes suddenly condensed.

"How did he discover the secret in such a short time? I've been very careful to cover it up!"

Huai Liangren's heart is moaning, since he met Zhou Dong, he has always been deflated everywhere, just now I chose white wine, not to mention, you are a little expert in Du Niang, you are a cow! But why this time? He thought that this little problem would stump Zhou Dong for a while, but he didn't expect to be seen through at a glance.

Zhou Dong slashed with a knife, and then turned over the back of the knife and gently knocked on the junction of the neck and tail of the lobster, and the whole lobster was like a prop in the hands of a magician, and instantly separated from the middle line of the neck and tail to both sides, and the snow-white shrimp meat in the hot air package appeared gorgeously in front of everyone.

"It's ......"

Dai Jun shook his head, feeling that the French baked lobster he made before must be fake!

He glanced at Huai Liangren as if asking for help, only to find that Huai Liangren was looking at Zhou Dong with blazing eyes, as if waiting for an explanation.

Zhou Dong nodded: "It is indeed a very ingenious knife skill." When you unscrew the neck of the shrimp, you should use a special knife to carve countless jagged cuts into the back of the shrimp from the inside out, so that they bite into each other like the zipper buckle of clothing.

It's a bit like the inside carving technique I used in the white lotus root, where you take out the shrimp and then use the knife from the inside out, but you can control the blade so that it doesn't completely break the skin of the lobster. So if you don't look closely, you won't be able to discover the mystery.

It's ingenious, but if you know the trick, you can open it very easily.

It's a great idea, and the process of opening the lobster shell is actually a kind of dining pleasure, right?"

Huai Liangren snorted coldly, but did not answer.

He can't admit that he was really inspired by Zhou Dong, right?

Dai Jun was completely convinced by Zhou Dong at this time, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhou, but ...... But it seems that Huaishi didn't use onions for side dishes, nor did he use black pepper? ”

Zhou Dong nodded and said, "It's really strange, the onions and black pepper that must be used for French baked lobster have been discarded and not used?"

It seems that Lao Huai's real secret is actually in the handling of shrimp meat, right?"

Huai Liangren's eyes narrowed slightly: "Don't worry, you will never understand." ”

"Hehe......" Zhou Dong shook his head: "You are so confident?"
