Chapter 740: The First Dinner on San Jose Island (Part I)
The staff dormitory is also in the Nordic minimalist style, and all kinds of household appliances and furniture are also very complete, which is no different from a home house.
The spacious bedroom has a soft and comfortable bed, and the little sunlight outside the window makes many workers who have just come in a little reluctant to go out.
The living room has a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and now you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside, the small red flowers and green vines are soothing, and on the top floor, you can faintly see the construction site in the distance, and the sea beyond...... Although the sea at this time is not very beautiful.
What surprised Jinyang a little was that there were 16 chefs among the 800 people, and each of them seemed to be very experienced, including Sichuan cuisine, Hui cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Hokkien cuisine and other cuisines, which can be described as a wide variety.
Sixteen chefs played a huge role on their first day in San Jose, cooking a sumptuous dinner for the 800 people in the staff cafeteria, Jinyang also provided a lot of redbud beef and space fruits, as well as red wine delivered from Panis Winery.
Tonight is the time for revelry!
Of course, there are far more than these 800 people attending today's dinner, including the more than 100 fruit growers, more than 200 construction workers, and Deji and others will also participate in this carnival dinner for the first time since the establishment of San Jose Island!
With more than 1,000 people, it will be a grand dinner.
The newly built staff cafeteria on San Jose Island covers a large area, and the restaurant on the first floor alone is enough to accommodate more than 1,000 people.
Washing, choosing, chopping...... From time to time, there was a burst of "chop, chop, chop" kitchen knives and the sound of intimate contact with the chopping board, and the sound was dense like the drumbeat of the soldiers.
Ham stewed soft-shelled turtle, braised civet, pickled mandarin fish, fermented bean curd chicken, Huangshan stewed chicken, Buddha jumping over the wall, horseshoe crab soup, steamed fish balls, boiling cabbage, Mao Xuewang, Wenchang chicken, old fire soup......
It's a very traditional Chinese feast, and these chefs who have just arrived on San Jose Island have done their best to bring almost everything they can think of and can make to the table.
Of course, in order to make these classic and famous dishes of major cuisines, the chefs and Jinyang have made great efforts, and there have been some small twists and turns in the middle.
This time, they are the essence of the eight traditional Chinese cuisines, and many of the ingredients are local specialties, and even in the past, they were tributes to the palace, which are extremely precious, and it is impossible to have those delicate ingredients on San Jose Island, a small island located in the southern Gulf of California, Mexico.
How can you make delicious dishes without ingredients?
For example, pickled fresh mandarin fish, this is a famous local dish in Huangshan, only with the mandarin fish produced in the Yangtze River before winter can be made after using a special method to make authentic and delicious pickled fresh mandarin fish, that is, the local famous Tunxi stinky mandarin fish.
This famous dish has a history of more than 300 years and has always been a local delicacy, and its taste is not undeniable.
It's quite interesting to talk about the origin of this dish.
About 300 years ago, traders along the Yangtze River transported the mandarin fish from the Yangtze River to Huangshan, Tunxi, Shexian and other places to sell before winter every year. Due to the lack of transportation, it usually takes seven or eight days to reach the destination.
Such a long time in the ancient times without long-distance freezing and other insurance means is basically unsolvable, let alone sell fish, the fish has long been stinky, after hard thinking and meditation, the traders finally thought of a good way...... Pickled.
On the way, in order to prevent the fresh fish from spoiling, they adopted the method of placing a layer of fish and sprinkling a layer of salt, and turned it up and down every day, although the process was a little harder, but the fish was finally preserved.
After arriving in Tunxi and other places, I didn't expect that the fish not only did not deteriorate, but also exuded a special "smell". After cooking, its fresh fragrance is better than that of fresh mandarin fish, and over time, it becomes the treasure of Tunxi, Huangshan and other places.
The origin and practice of this kind of magic and coincidence, how can a place like Mexico make an authentic Tunxi stinky mandarin fish?
For example, stewed stone chicken, this is only a kind of frog that lives in the cracks of the mountain stream in Huangshan Mountain is worthy of the name of stewed stone chicken, its taste is incomparably mellow, its meat is smooth and moist, fragrant and attractive......
Hey, don't talk about the stone chicken now, San Jose Island may not even be able to find a rabbit or rabbit, and the chefs can't do anything about it.
However, this banquet is the first dinner since Jinyang purchased the development of San Jose Island, not to mention the celebration of those workers, the meaning of this first dinner alone is very different.
Jinyang attaches great importance to this, and the highlight of the dinner ...... You can't just leave the dishes on the table.
People move dead trees to live, and the chefs and Jinyang racked their brains for a long time to discuss, and finally came up with a solution that was not a way.
Replace the original ingredients in the recipe with other similar or similar ingredients, such as the stinky mandarin fish mentioned above, you can't find mandarin fish living in the Yangtze River on San Jose Island, let alone mandarin fish, you can't even find any fish here, not even La Paz.
It doesn't matter, there is no one on San Jose Island, but there is one in Jinyang, and there are a lot of osmanthus fish in the pond in his space, uh, mandarin fish, also called osmanthus fish, these two are originally the same kind of fish, and even the pronunciation is the same, but the words are different.
Although the mandarin fish in the space does not grow in the Yangtze River, and it has nothing to do with the local area of Huangshan, but this is a space product, Jinyang does not think that the stinky mandarin fish dish made with this kind of mandarin fish will be worse than the original.
Perhaps the only problem is that the time is shorter, and it can only be used to marinate mandarin fish for a few hours, and it is impossible to make an original "stinky mandarin fish" with a slightly smelly sweet flavor.
There are other kinds of ingredients Jinyang tries to replace with all kinds of ingredients in the space, such as yellow eel, mandarin fish, sea bass and other fish in the space, beef, mutton, pork, chicken, duck and goose meat in Bauhinia Ranch, etc., these ingredients have a lot of reserves in the space.
Before coming to San Jose Island, Jin Yang had a premonition in his heart, so he deliberately made a lot of things that could be used in the future and stored them in the space, such as chickens, ducks, geese, beef and mutton in the pasture...... Anyway, there is no such thing as deterioration in space.
It doesn't matter if you don't have it in the space, let Maldonado and others go to La Paz to buy, although Mexico is very poor, there will still be some Chinese in a state capital like La Paz, and the various ingredients in the Chinese supermarket are still very rich.
In this way, the dinner party can be considered alive.
