Chapter 55: The So-called 'Attracting Bees and Butterflies'
Zhou Yuan, under the leadership of Steward Zhao, came to the kitchen.
At the moment, in the kitchen, there are four chefs busy cooking dinner.
Seeing that Steward Zhao brought a strange young man in, they were all a little puzzled.
"Let me introduce, this is the guest who came today, Mr. Zhou Yuanzhou. To cook a few dishes at Mengmeng's birthday banquet, you have to cooperate well with Mr. Zhou. ”
Steward Zhao said.
The four chefs nodded.
"Mr. Zhou, if there is any need, just ask. ”
Steward Zhao smiled slightly.
"Good. Zhou Yuan nodded, and Steward Zhao still had something to do, so he left.
The four cooks stared at the young lad.
Zhou Yuan smiled at the four people.
didn't say anything, so he directly took the ingredients that Sun He had put in the kitchen and took them from the side.
Subsequently, Zhou Yuan began to clean the dishes.
There are five types of vegetables, beans, potatoes, eggplant, green peppers and celery.
"Do you want us to cut these dishes for you?"
A chef asked.
Zhou Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank you, the four of you don't have to worry about me, just cook directly, I see that there are a lot of guests outside, and everyone must be very busy." ”
The four chefs smiled, looked at each other, and went about cooking their own meals.
Let's start with a potato and chicken soup!
Zhou Yuan peeled the potatoes first!
At this time, a chef casually glanced at Zhou Yuan.
Then, that gaze froze on the potato in Zhou Yuan's palm.
"Old Chen, what are you looking at?" the other chef smiled when he saw him stop chopping vegetables, and followed his gaze.
Thereupon.
They were stunned too!
Zhou Yuan peeled the potatoes with a paring knife, the potato skins were connected together, and they were never broken, and the potato skin was thin and uniform, so the potatoes were also very good-looking.
Soon, a potato was peeled.
Subsequently, Zhou Yuan peeled the remaining four potatoes.
At this time, the other two chefs also looked at Zhou Yuan.
The same stunned.
I'll go!
This potato is too slippery, isn't it?
The four of them are all five-star chefs, and they are highly skilled, but they don't have the ability to do this!
The four of them glanced at each other, and they all saw a deep look of shock in each other's eyes.
"Mr. Zhou, did you learn to cook before?" said the chef named Lao Chen.
Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "No, I learned this from reading books in private." ”
“??!!”
On the heads of the four people, several big question marks and exclamation marks immediately popped up!
There are many self-taught chefs, but learning this is a bit shocking.
Just as the four of them were shocked, Zhou Yuan began to cut the potato pieces.
Bang!
Zhou Yuan's palm output an aura, and with a slap on the edge of the cutting board, five potatoes flew directly into the air.
Immediately, Zhou Yuan held the knife, and there was a burst of sword light and sword shadow, and the speed was so fast that it could scare a person to death!
Hell, isn't this acrobatics?
The four of them widened their eyes.
In less than three seconds, five potatoes landed on the cutting board.
Then, on the cutting board, there are neat, appropriately sized potato chunks.
My day!
Seeing this scene, the four chefs were all stupid.
Nima, is this still human?
This kid is a seven-star chef!
This knife technique is so fast that it scares people to death, and it is accurate enough to scare people to death!
"That.... Are you really self-taught?"
Lao Chen couldn't help but ask again.
Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
The four of them are not calm anymore!
, the four of them are super first-class chefs who graduated from Lan Xiang.
Unexpectedly, in terms of knife skills and the basic skills of peeling, he lost to a self-taught young man.
The hearts of the four of them suddenly became unbalanced.
Could this be that the legendary man is more popular than the dead?
Or is it... No harm without contrast?
The four of you look at me, I look at you, and I can't help but show a wry smile.
At this time, Zhou Yuan began to cut the chicken.
This chicken has been cleaned up, and it is just about to be cut!
Zhou Yuan first placed the chicken on the cutting board, with the chicken breast facing down, and cut along the side of the spine from the neck to the tail.
Subsequently, another cut is made along the other side of the cone, removing the severed spine.
Then, still with the breast side down, make a small incision between the membrane and the cartilage in the V-shaped area of the chicken's neck.
Zhou Yuan grabbed the chicken breast with both hands, slowly bent the ends back and broke the sternum, then used his fingers to pull the triangular sternum along both sides of the sternum to loosen it and remove the bones, and then turned the chicken over with the skiny side facing up.
Cut down lengthwise to the center of the chicken, cut it in half, cut a chicken into four parts, cut the skin of the chicken, separate the thighs and breasts, and do a little more processing, and the chicken is cut.
Zhou Yuan's steps to cut the chicken are very correct and smooth, and a series of actions come down, like flowing water, in one go.
Lao Chen and the other four chefs flashed with admiration in their eyes.
This kid, don't look young, is not inferior to their four five-star chefs when he cooks.
When everything is ready, it's time to put it in the pot.
Before that, Zhou Yuan first peeled the ginger and sliced the green onions into strips.
During this time, the pot is already hot.
Zhou Yuan poured 2 teaspoons of oil, put in the ginger slices, and let the ginger slices stir-fry to make the taste more delicious.
After that, pour in the chicken pieces and stir-fry until no blood appears. Remove the chicken pieces, put them in a casserole, and add 1500ml of cold water. Place the casserole on a coal stove, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over low heat for another 40 minutes.
During this time, Zhou Yuan began to cut another chicken and duck into pieces, and cut the other four vegetables separately.
By the time it was all done, forty minutes was almost up.
At this time, a tangy chicken aroma has been thickly emanated.
Soon, the entire villa was flooded.
On time, when they smelled the smell of meat, all the people were stunned!
What exactly is being done?
Why is it so fragrant?
Many people's stomachs are growling because of this wonderful meaty aroma.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan has put the potato pieces into the casserole, and at the same time added the appropriate salt, and then it needs to be stewed for 15 minutes, and after about fifteen minutes of time, sprinkle with pepper and shredded green onions, and a simple home-cooked potato and chicken soup is out of the pot!
Zhou Yuan smelled this long-lost aroma and was very comfortable.
The four chefs, on the other hand, were so shocked that their lips trembled.
This....
How exactly is this done?
Why is it so fragrant?
Lao Chen, the four chefs, couldn't help but lean over to take a look.
The oil is golden, the flesh is full, the potatoes are full of attractive luster, the soup is bubbling with oily water, and people have a great appetite when they see it, and they can't help but want to eat it when they smell the pungent aroma.
Mr. Zhou...... How do you make this potato and chicken soup? Why does it smell so good?"
Lao Chen asked humbly.
Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "This is an ordinary home-cooked meal, using the most ordinary cooking techniques. ”
"Then why do you make it so fragrant?" asked another chef.
Indeed, this is their truth.
For the first time in their lives, they had smelled such an enticing aroma of chicken.
Zhou Yuan said while starting to make stewed duck in rice wine: "It's just that because the meat is good, I am not satisfied with everyone, this chicken is a full 20,000 RMB a catty." ”
"20,000 ???"
Lao Chen and the four were dumbfounded, and after that, Lao Chen said dryly, "Now the most expensive in the world is the black Ayam Cemani chicken breed from Java, Indonesia, this kind of chicken is now 15,000 RMB per catty, what kind of chicken are you, why is it more expensive than Ayam Cemani chicken?"
Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary stupid chicken, it's just because the growing area is too good that I can grow such a chicken." The taste and nutritional value of this chicken is far better than that of Ayam Cemani chicken. ”
"Unlikely!"
Lao Chen and the four are a little confused, are they really ordinary stupid chickens?
No matter how good the stupid chicken is, it can't reach this level!
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and concentrated on making stewed duck in rice wine.
This stewed duck in rice wine is actually not difficult to make.
First of all, chop the duck meat into small pieces, add green onion and ginger cooking wine and blanch it out.
Then boil the pot dry, pour the blanched duck meat into the pot, and stir-fry over medium heat, the purpose is to fry the duck fat to reduce the greasy feeling caused by the duck meat.
Then, after the duck is fried until the surface is slightly charred, you can add green onions, ginger and garlic for the stir-frying process.
At this time, the thick duck fragrance came to the face and spread throughout the villa, and many people couldn't bear the temptation of nothing, so they couldn't help but walk to the kitchen.
And the two cute babies upstairs, as well as Liu Dongcheng and Gu Surong, were all attracted by this fragrance.
"Wow, it's so fragrant!" the little girl's pink and tender little mouth drooled directly, and she said in a milky voice.
Meng Meng said: "It must be the big brother's meal that is ready." ”
"Huh, do you mean I'm poop?" said the little girl.
Mengmeng nodded and said, "Of course, Tiantian's cooking is delicious!"
"Oh. ”
When the little girl heard this, she was a little unhappy.
Hmph, bad baba, only cook for Meng Meng, not for Tian Tian..... Doesn't Baba like sweetness....
"Wow......"
The more the little girl thought about it, the more scared she became, and she cried with a 'wow' cry while playing.
This cry frightened Liu Dongcheng and Gu Surong.
I don't know why the little girl is crying, she was very happy just now, why did she cry all of a sudden?
It's too late to explore the causes.
The two of them hurriedly persuaded: "Tian Tian doesn't cry, Tian Tian doesn't cry....."
"Baba, sweet and sweet, wow woo woo woo ......"
The little girl's little pp sat on the carpet, raising her little head, crying wow-wow-wow.
"Don't cry, don't cry... Sweet you cry, cute and cute... Meng Meng also wants to cry.... Woo....."
Meng Meng wiped the tears of the little girl with her little hands, and persuaded herself to cry too.
It's just that Meng Meng is two years older than Tian Tian after all, and her crying voice is not so high, just sobbing and crying.
At this moment, when the grandparents had a headache, the two looked at each other, and they were very helpless.
"Tian Tian don't cry, grandma will take you to find Baba, okay?" Gu Surong said.
The little girl's crying stopped abruptly, the pear blossoms on her little face were raining, her big watery eyes were red, she looked at Gu Surong, and said softly.
But that little face was still tearing.
Gu Surong and Liu Dongcheng hurriedly picked up the two cute babies and went downstairs.
At this time, at the door of the kitchen, a lot of people had gathered, all of whom came smelling the aroma.
Zhou Yuan naturally knew that there were a lot of people gathered at the door of the kitchen, and he guessed that he couldn't help but come over when he smelled the aroma.
However, he didn't pay any attention to it and took the dish seriously.
He added 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce to the pot, and then added a little dark soy sauce, then stir-fried evenly and poured in the prepared rice wine, which had been boiled over high heat, Zhou Yuan quickly turned to low heat, and simmered the duck until the rice wine became less.
Then, Zhou Yuan added two teaspoons of salt, and finally reduced the juice over high heat, and waited until the soup was thick and wrapped in the duck meat, and a plate of delicious rice wine stewed duck was out of the pot.
Color, flavor, and taste!
Just looking at it is incomparably delicious.
What's more, there is also the strong smell of meat.
Those people outside have to admit that they have eaten a lot of food in their five-star hotels, but this is the first time they have encountered such a dish with such color and aroma in their lives.
Gollum.
Many people kept swallowing saliva.
I really want to go up and have a taste!!
Many people think so.
And at this time, Liu Dongcheng's voice came: "Please let us in." ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately got out of the way, looking at the two little cute babies with red eyes and constant tears in the arms of Liu Dongcheng and his wife, and couldn't help but think distressedly, what's wrong, why are the little cuties crying?
"Ba .... Baba ....."
When the little girl saw her poop, there were round and crystal teardrops, and she whispered aggrievedly.
Zhou Yuan put down the spoon and turned around, and was stunned for a moment.
Immediately, he stepped forward in distress, stepped on the tears on the little girl's face, and asked, "What's wrong, Tiantian?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan noticed that Meng Meng on the side also had tears on his face.
All of a sudden.
Zhou Yuan couldn't help asking, "Did Tiantian quarrel with Mengmeng?"
"No, no, no. Mengmeng shook her head and said, "Mengmeng doesn't know why Tiantian is crying, but Mengmeng sees Tiantian crying, and Mengmeng also cries......"
Zhou Yuan nodded, and looked at his baby daughter again.
"Tiantian, what's wrong?" Zhou Yuan asked softly.
"Baba, you, don't you like sweetness?" the little girl's red eyes looked at her poop pitifully.
Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why does Tiantian think so?"
"Baba, Baba, cook for Mengmeng, but don't cook for Tiantian....."
As soon as the little girl's milky voice and resentful words came out, the people around her immediately laughed.
This little guy turned out to be eating cute vinegar.....
This little cute baby, the dominance heart is quite strong.... Is... This Zhou Yuan is really a blessing.
There is such a cute and adorable daughter.... Thinking of this, many people are envious of Zhou Yuan.
And when Zhou Yuan heard the little girl's jealous words, his heart churned with a strong sense of love.
He couldn't wait to hug the little girl over and kiss her a few bites, but he didn't dare to hug it because of the smell of vegetables all over his body.
He scraped the little girl's little girl's nose with a little hand, and said with a smile: "Of course Baba loves Tiantian, Tiantian, you see, Baba is cooking for you!"
When the little girl heard this, she pouted and asked with some resentment: "Baba, really?"
"How can this be fake?"
Zhou Yuan said, picked up the potato and chicken soup that had been made, and said, "Sweet and sweet, you see, this is what Baba made for you." ”
When the little girl saw the plate of meat, she stopped crying instantly, thinking that Baba loves Tiantian, Baba loves Tiantian very much, and made so much spicy meat for Tiantian.
The little girl thought about it, showed an innocent bright smile, and said in a milky voice: "Well, the baba is so good! The meat made by the baba is so fragrant, I want to eat it sweetly." ”
"Then give Tian Tian a piece of poop. ”
Zhou Yuan sandwiched a piece of meat of appropriate size and handed it to the little girl.
"Hot, baba blow, baba blow. ”
Zhou Yuan blew with a smile and sent the meat to the little girl's mouth.
And at this scene, the people around him, including Liu Dongcheng and his wife, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
That one..... What, can you clip me a piece.....
