"Not bad, not bad!"
The system spoke coldly, sounding a bit approving. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This agarwood is hidden so deeply, you can actually taste it, and the divine tongue technique is worthy of its name. Have you tasted the defects of the marinade?"
"Yes. The agarwood he uses is a high-grade old incense, with a strong taste, and even if only a small piece is used, it can achieve the effect of marinade and fragrant. In order to hide the existence of the secret ingredient of agarwood, he used many spices to cover it up, so the aroma in the marinade was too strong, but it diluted the refreshing feeling of beef bones and beef soup. ”
"Very well, you try the brisket again, try to tell where it came from. ”
Mo Fei picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of beef brisket, the brown beef was wrapped in a white fascia, which had been stewed very badly, and it was effortless to chew, especially the fascia on the outside, which was both delicious and firm and smooth in the mouth.
Li Fengshui looked at Mo Fei motionlessly, waited for him to finish eating a piece of brisket, and asked cautiously, "Brother Mo, how does it taste?"
Murphy nodded, "It's amazing, the brisket is just right, it's very flavorful, and the smell of the beef is also very clean, if I'm not mistaken, is this a two-year-old Australian beef cattle?"
Li Fengshui's mouth opened wide, as if he couldn't believe it, "Mo...... Brother Mo, you can also taste the origin of the beef?"
"Australian beef cattle are fat, and the meat of the brisket is a good ingredient, but don't choose the cold tendon meat on your menu, it is a bit fatty. ”
Li Fengshui touched his head a little embarrassed, "Brother, you are really a god! I also know that local cattle taste better, but the cost is not lower." ”
Murphy glanced at his apprentice, "Let them get busy." ”
Li Fengshui waved his hand, "Don't gather around here, why should you go." ”
After the disciples dispersed, Mo Fei smiled and asked, "Brother, your braised soup is not simple, there are a total of 18 spices, right?"
He was stunned, raised his fingers and calculated, and said after a while: "No, there are a total of 17 spices." ”
Mo Fei smiled narrowly: "Brother Li, is your most secret agarwood also counted in it?"
His old face turned red and whispered, "Shh...... I can't hide it from you, how do you know there's agarwood in it? But ...... But I've got agarwood in it!"
Seeing Li Fengshui's serious appearance, it didn't look like he was deceiving himself, so he counted the spices in front of him, and when it came to "pepper", Li Fengshui shouted "stop".
"There's obviously no pepper added to this, Brother Mo, have you tasted it wrong?" Li Fengshui questioned.
"Really?" Murphy took another sip, the soup had warmed up, and the fishy smell of the beef had become stronger, but he could still taste a hint of black pepper.
"There's definitely black pepper, let's go and take a look at the spice packets. Murphy said firmly.
The spice bag is a secret in the store, usually Li Fengshui is preparing it, no one can move it, and he will take it out and destroy it after boiling. This packet is like the recipe for Coca-Cola, and it is the core secret of the store's survival.
But in front of Mo Fei, Li Fengshui did not hesitate at all, took him into the back room, took out a bag of white gauze from the safe, opened it, and sure enough, there were only 17 spices in it, and there was no trace of black pepper at all.
Mo Fei frowned, he tasted the taste of black pepper, and the system also has black pepper by default, could it be that he and the system are mistaken?
"Can you take me to the braised soup bucket?"
After locking the material bag, Li Fengshui took him to the marinade bucket. Mo Fei picked up the fence and fished it a few times, and a few black-brown particles appeared under the stirring soup.
Mo Fei took out the black-brown particles, chewed them open, and handed them to Li Fengshui casually.
That's right, it's the fake black pepper, and it smells quite strong.
Li Fengshui was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that there was really black pepper in it, he glared at the apprentices in the back kitchen, and asked loudly: "What's going on, who put the black pepper in it?"
The apprentices looked at each other, and no one knew what was going on.
"Brother, in my opinion, they accidentally fell into it, after all, there are only a few grains, and it doesn't affect the taste of the braised soup, so don't embarrass them. ”
Li Fengshui nodded helplessly: "Brother Mo, let you see the joke." My brother's shop is too non-standardized, and there are many people, alas!"
Walking out of the back kitchen, Mo Fei asked, "Is it convenient to find me a pen and paper?"
Li Fengshui quickly took out a pen and paper and handed it to Mo Fei.
I saw Mo Fei writing and drawing on it, and after a while, he wrote half a page and handed it to Li Fengshui.
"Brother, your braised soup tastes good, but because too many spices are added, it loses the true taste of beef stew. This is a list of spices I wrote, which has been reduced from 17 to 12, and some of them have also been reduced a bit. ”
Li Fengshui trembled all over, and took it with trembling hands. Mo Fei was in his heart, like a kitchen god, and he actually modified the spice bag for himself personally, how could he not be overjoyed.
"Good, good!"
Because of the surprise, his voice changed tone, and it sounded high-pitched with a trill. After he took it, he looked at it carefully, and there were five spices on it, such as cardamom, woody fragrance, and cloves, and finally the agarwood spice was gone.
Seeing the doubts in Li Fengshui's eyes, Mo Fei smiled and said: "Agarwood is your secret weapon, of course, you have to have it, you listen well, in the future, after soaking beef bones and fat beef in cold water for two hours to remove blood water, directly light agarwood in a closed room to smoke, and the next day you can boil it in the pot, and the fragrance of agarwood will seep into the meat soup, there is no need to deliberately hide it, others learn to add agarwood to the soup, and it is far from the naturally generated fruity fragrance." ”
Smoking with lit agarwood can maximize the release of the fragrance of agarwood, which is much better than stewing, why haven't I thought about this.
Li Fengshui was stunned when he heard it, thinking about the method passed down by his master before, he would not be flexible at all, he was stupid to the bone.
He patted his head and said incoherently, "This...... This...... Too...... Great!"
"But......" Mo Fei turned his head, "Brother, this method has just been figured out, and it has not been practiced yet, if it doesn't work, please don't blame me." ”
"No, no, no. Li Fengshui had a grateful expression: "Brother, I also know that there are too many spices used in the braised soup, but there is really no way, and I don't dare to change the things passed down by the ancestors......"
The two drank tea and chatted for a while, Mo Fei casually said a few tips for cooking, and Li Fengshui listened to it and benefited a lot.
"Brother, I have something to ask you for. He rubbed his hands together a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter?"
Li Fengshui pointed to the street in front of him and said: "Not far from here, I have a cousin who has opened a boiled fish shop, and the business has not been good recently, and customers have reported that there is a problem with the fish cooking, can you help me give some advice?"
Mo Fei looked at the table below, it was just ten o'clock, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you let him make a pot of boiled fish first, wait, let's go and taste it together." ”
The two went out of the store together, Mo Fei insisted on riding a bicycle, Li Fengshui had to borrow one from his apprentice, and rode to the boiled fish shop on the front street one after the other.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the store, he smelled the strong aroma of fried chili peppers, Li Fengshui pushed the door and shouted: "Chen Daxu, I invited Master Mo here, you come out to greet him!"
After shouting twice, the door of the back kitchen opened, and a somewhat arrogant middle-aged man wearing a white chef's hat walked out, looking quite heavy.
He glanced at the two of them, looked out the door again, and asked, "Cousin is here, where is the Master Mo you said?"
Li Fengshui pulled Mo Fei in front of him and said, "No, this is the Mo Fei master I have told you many times!"
"Him?"
Chen Daxu squeezed out a disdainful smile on his face, "Cousin, you're not joking, are you?
