Chapter 186: Secretly Fascinated
"Sister, do you know how many processes it takes for a ham to go from a live pig to a ham?"
Tang Xiaolong asked with a smile as he ate ham on his lips.
"I don't know. Huang Fei shook his head.
"Then let me tell you, from the acceptance of fresh pork legs, to trimming the leg embryo, pickling, soaking the legs, washing the legs, shaping, fermentation and storage, and grading the shelves...... It takes more than 80 processes to make a finished ham!"
Tang Xiaolong said, "Who knows that Chinese food is hard work, girl, I only know that ham is delicious, I don't know that ham is so troublesome to make, right?"
"Hmph, I haven't been in contact with this industry, how do I know?"
Huang Fei was a little unhappy, because Tang Xiaolong's tone seemed to be the kind of loser who would only waste food.
"Do you know which part of the meat from the pig is used to make the meat of the ham? ”
Tang Xiaolong asked again.
"I only know that it's pork, which part of the pig's body, how do I know?" Huang Fei said wistfully.
"You girl, don't listen to the class, didn't I say it just now, the first process is the acceptance of fresh pork legs, of course, it is the meat on the pork legs, and it is the hind leg meat of the pig! Because the fat-to-lean ratio of ham is about 3:7, the hind leg meat of the pig is exactly in line with this ratio, and the hind leg meat has no tendons, and it is easy to process. ”
Tang Xiaolong was eating egg noodles, and the words on his lips were also very clear.
Hearing this, Huang Fei stared at Tang Xiaolong with a pair of beautiful eyes and said, "You know a lot, have you ever been a chef before?"
"No, people who know wine don't necessarily make wine, and people who know cars don't necessarily make cars, I just have a little research on traditional Chinese cooking. ”
Tang Xiaolong smiled and said, "When you opened the refrigerator just now, I noticed that there was a small pot of minced meat in the refrigerator, and the minced meat was used to make dumplings?"
"That's right. ”
"You bought the meat?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"The meat you bought is pork belly from pork ribs, which is not suitable for dumpling filling!"
Tang Xiaolong shook his head and smiled, but there was a slight hint of ridicule in this smile.
"So, if I want to make stuffing, which part of the pig should I buy?"
Huang Fei ignored Tang Xiaolong's sneer and asked very seriously.
"Well, of course, it's the front row of meat. Tang Xiaolong said, "The front row of meat, located in the upper part of the pig's front leg, is old and tendony, and has strong water absorption, which is most suitable for making stuffing and meatballs." ”
"Oh, that's right. Huang Fei nodded, with a teachable expression, "Is there anything else about the other meat on the pig?"
"Of course there is, for example, pig ears, pig ears have a good taste, you can make cold dishes, next wine or something. There is also plum blossom meat, which is the upper shoulder meat of pigs, the meat is tender and can be used to make barbecued pork, fried meat or barbecued meat!"
"And the pork belly of the pork rib part you bought is not suitable for filling, but suitable for braised meat, white stew or steamed powder, do you understand?"
Tang Xiaolong asked with a smile like a master.
Hearing this, Huang Fei nodded suddenly and said with a smile, "Understood, remembered." ”
Seeing her teachable expression, Tang Xiaolong's heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, and he couldn't help asking, "Is it better to listen to me than a three-year cook?"
"Well, listening to you, it's true that the benefits are not shallow, and it's too exaggerated to win three years of cooking. Huang Fei said, "By the way, you know so much about cooking, how about you show your hand in the kitchen later?"
"Well...... Today is not very convenient, my hands are tired, my hands are shaking, and it affects the performance. ”
Tang Xiaolong said busily.
"Are your hands shaking? You are eating, but your hands are shaking. Huang Fei said.
"Intermittently, for a while. Tang Xiaolong said, "Another day, when the day is right, I'll show you a look." ”
"Alright then, I'll wait, I hope you're a master of combining theory and practice, not just a master of theory. ”
Huang Fei said.
Hearing this, Tang Xiaolong's heart was weak for a while, but he said stubbornly, "Don't worry, the master must be the master, and it must be a combination!"
"Hmph, who knows, eat your food!"
Huang Fei sneered on her lips, looking at Tang Xiaolong with a pair of beautiful eyes, but it was a little different, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what kind of person is this Tang Xiaolong?
Thinking of yesterday evening, Tang Xiaolong rode his scooter to carry himself, and cornered at a very fast speed, although it was really exciting, but this was the gangster's death-killing behavior, of course, the general gangster did not have this god-like riding skills, but Tang Xiaolong at that time did have a bit of a gangster's temperament.
And then, Tang Xiaolong rescued people in the shopping mall where the stampede occurred, this kind of feat of righteousness and courage was by no means pretended, at that time, he was really more admirable than the armed police officers and soldiers at the disaster relief site.
After that, in order to protect himself, Tang Xiaolong beat Zhang Biao and Zhang Cong, and punished Sun Wei who chewed his tongue indiscriminately, just like a flower messenger, which warmed the hearts of girls like himself.
Tang Xiaolong's temperament of combining ruffianism, kindness, ferocity and justice has already made Huang Fei stupid and unclear, and now he has revealed the characteristics of a chef, which makes Huang Fei look at flowers in a fog, but secretly fascinated.
Suddenly, Huang Fei's heart moved.
It is said that when a girl is very curious about a man and wants to know everything about this man, her heart has gradually belonged to this man!
"Could it be that I fell in love with this kid...... Impossible!"
This thought rose in Huang Fei's heart, but Huang Fei took a deep breath and suppressed this thought again.
And Tang Xiaolong lowered his head to eat noodles, and he was also smiling secretly in his heart, Sister Huang Fei was really right, she was really a master of theory, a master of cooking, just talking on paper!
Speaking of Tang Xiaolong's actual cooking skills, because he was a child, he learned to cook by himself when he was very young, so after doing it over the years, his cooking skills must be better than his peers, but he is a step worse than the chef who opened a restaurant on the side of the road.
And the dry goods that Tang Xiaolong pretended to be forced just now, including the 36 ways of peanuts and rice, and the doorway of pork, were all inadvertently learned when he was chatting with Su Nannan.
Therefore, the master of cooking that combines theory and practice is Su Nannan, Tang Xiaolong just has a mouth, and he has no unique skills in his hands.
"Okay, I'm full, thank you for my sister's hospitality, I have to go!"
Tang Xiaolong wiped his mouth with a tissue and said with a smile.
"I don't dare to take the hospitality seriously, if you want to leave, I'll send you off. Huang Fei said, and the two left the restaurant together.
