Chapter 513: Loach Drill Tofu
"Master Liu Mang, are you busy?" Jia Bufan walked into the kitchen with his hands behind his back and said hello to Liu Mang, who was dealing with the hump. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Hmm......" Liu Mang, who was rubbing his hump vigorously, raised his head: "Is there something wrong?"
"Uh...... Nothing, just come and see. Jia Bufan walked to the stove and glanced at the stainless steel basin in front of Liu Mang: "Master Liu Mang, are you still satisfied with the ingredients we prepared today?"
"Very satisfied!" Liu Mang nodded: "There are several ingredients that I have cooked for the first time, and I have never even seen them before." ”
After Liu Mang finished speaking, he continued to deal with the hump in the basin.
Fresh humps should be rubbed with ginger juice and salt before boiling to completely remove its fishy smell.
"Master Liu Mang, I don't know whether to say it or not. After being silent for a while, Jia Bufan spoke.
"Say, I'll listen. Liu Mang smiled.
"As far as I know, your upstairs business is very hot, and now you have opened your sixth branch. In time, it will surely become famous all over the world. Jia Bufan paused: "Then why don't you put your energy into your own restaurant, but come to Manhan Mansion to wade through the troubled waters?"
"Muddy water?" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed: "It is precisely because it is muddy water, so I came to set things right, and clean up the source!"
"As I said bluntly, in this way, aren't you afraid of wasting your energy? On the contrary, it is a bit more than worth ......the loss," Jia Bufan said.
"Chef Jia, if you have something to say, you can just say it, you don't have to beat around the bush. ”
"Master Liu Mang is really fast!" Jia Bufan slapped his palms: "Then I'll say it directly, I am representing the other chefs of Manhan Building, and I want to ask Master Liu Mang to see if Master Liu Mang and Master Buyu really want to take back the equity." ”
"The equity must be recovered, this is my master's wish all along. After a little thought, Liu Mang nodded affirmatively.
"That's it!" Jia Bufan's face showed a look of disappointment.
"But ......," Liu Mang said.
"But what?" Jia Bufan asked.
"But sometimes it depends on the situation. My master and I both felt that the twelve chefs in Manhan Mansion were too many, and it would be enough to leave eight. The equity that went was recovered, and the treatment left behind was the same as before. ”
"Really?"
"It's true!"
"Okay, Master Liu Mang, then I won't bother you cooking. Jia Bufan said and left in a hurry.
"Boss, what do you want to do with this thing? How can I listen to you like listening to a lantern riddle?" After Jia Bufan left, Wuyan said in surprise.
"What do you want to do? I don't want to hand over the equity!" Liu Mang sneered: "The fat in your mouth is easy to eat, but it's really hard to spit it out!"
"According to me, what's polite to them? Anyway, you are reasonable and legal, just let them roll up and get out, and it will save trouble!"
That's not what I said. Liu Mang sighed: "These chefs have been operating in Manhan Mansion for many years, and almost all the branches are their people, if all of them are blown away, Manhan Mansion will have to close down immediately." ”
"That's why you let three go and leave eight?" asked Five Eyes.
"Xiao Wu, do you know the dish 'Loach Drill Tofu'?" Liu Mang did not answer directly, but asked like this.
"I know!" Five-eyed Mumu nodded: "Put a large piece of tender tofu into the pot, and then pour the loach that has been raised and spit out the sediment into it, and as the water temperature heats, the loach will all burrow into the tofu, and finally simmer on high heat......
"And what if you start with a big fire?"
"Start the fire at the beginning?, how can you do that?" Five-Eyes shook his head: "That loach must not be able to stand it, it will die before it gets into the tofu, and it will even jump out of the pot!"
"So, the current chefs of Manhanlou are the loaches in the pot, and the equity of Manhanlou is a piece of tofu! You can only take your time to complete this good dish without causing a backlash. Liu Mang explained with a smile.
"I seem to get it. Wuyan suddenly realized: "The reason why you told Jia Bufan to leave the three chefs is because you are afraid that they will join forces, so let them start infighting first, right? When you become the head chef and take back some of the equity, there will be a way to slowly clean them up?"
"Yes, now I've learned to analyze. Liu Mang laughed again: "Anyway, the equity won't run, it will take a little time at most." ”
"Boss, when did you become like the eldest sister?" "Five-eyed scratched his head and smiled.
"Is there one?" Liu Mang spread out his hand and walked to the stove: "This is probably called close to Zhu Zhechi, I am infected." ”
The flesh of the hump is thick, and it must be boiled until soft before it can be marinated to absorb the flavor.
Liu Mang then rinsed the blood rubbed out of the hump and put it in the starting pot for a stream of water. Then add ginger and shallots and other condiments to a separate pot and simmer over high heat.
The hump on the stove was simmering, and Liu Mang walked back to the center of the kitchen. There, the two wyverns in the vat were ready to come out of the pot.
As soon as the bamboo strip lid on the vat was lifted, a puff of smoke rose into the sky.
"Xiao Wu, hurry up and start smoking, otherwise others will think that the kitchen is on fire." Liu Mang commanded.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Five-Eyes hurriedly ran to the electric switch and turned on and off all the exhaust fans in the kitchen.
After the smoke in the vat cleared a little, Liu Mang took out the two flying dragons in the middle, and then poured a basin of cold water into the charcoal basin below, extinguishing the flames that were still faintly burning below.
The two flying dragons taken out were red, oily, and a unique tea fragrance, and drifted into the noses of the two of them.
"The color is so beautiful, and the taste is good!" Five-eyed exclaimed and licked his lips: "I just don't know how it tastes." ”
The sauce, made with brown sugar, white vinegar, and five-spice powder, coats the dragon with a layer of color at the beginning. After the charcoal fire roasting and the smoking of the tea leaves, this layer of color penetrates into the texture of the flying dragon, which is equivalent to three points into the wood.
After the three processes of pickling, roasting and smoking, the outer layer of the flying dragon has become firm and elastic, and it can be bounced up immediately with a light touch of the hand, which is simply crispy and fragrant, and the sauce is rich.
Quickly carved a few radish flowers and made a shape on the plate, Liu Mang put the slightly cooler flying dragon on the cutting board, ready to start chopping pieces and arranging the plate.
"Boss, can you taste this?" Five eyes stared at the dragon on the chopping board, like a cat staring at the fish in a fish tank, his eyes were so focused.
Five Eyes himself knew that the two wyverns were arranged in one piece, and if they stole a few pieces, they would inevitably destroy the integrity of the dish.
"Yes, you can wait a minute. Liu Mang shook his head with a smile, and slashed the flying dragon from it with a knife in his hand, and then chopped it into small pieces of about the same size.
"Hello, let's taste it!" When the two flying dragons were finished, Five Eyes was surprised to find that there were two more pieces.
"Eat, I've divided the two pieces of meat from the dragon's belly, so that it won't affect the plating, and it will make you addicted. ”
"Okay. Five-eyed smiled, picked up one of the pieces of dragon meat and put it into his mouth......
