Chapter 359: Talking about the Tao with Vegetables

When Wu Ming and Li Mufei came to the Xiangwen Hall, it happened to be the least busy time in the afternoon, staggering the lunch and evening meals, at this time there was basically no work, Gu Xingzhi was sitting in the back kitchen with his purple sand teapot and drinking tea, and saw Wu Ming walking to the back kitchen with Li Mufei, and smiled slightly: "Hey, the big boss is here in person." ”

Wu Ming said with a smile: "Chef Gu, can you please help me get a dish to taste, our Miss Li Mufei is in a bad mood today and wants to use food to adjust it." ”

"you, who's in a bad mood, I'm in a good mood. Li Mufei said: "Regardless of the chef you taught me two dishes, today someone muttered, saying that women should return to the family, I think I can't return to the family for the time being, but I have to master a little bit of basic skills." ”

Gu Xingzhi smiled: "Okay, anyway, it's not too busy at this time, that ...... Xiao Zhao Xiaochen, you go and clean up the stove for me, and let me demonstrate it to our boss. ”

Wu Ming didn't expect that Gu Xingzhi was so familiar with Li Mufei, and the way the two of them talked looked very casual, Gu Xingzhi waved his hand, and asked Wu Ming and Li Mufei to walk to the stove: "Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhao, go and prepare materials for me." ”

Soon, the two assistant chefs in the kitchen hurriedly began to help Chef Gu prepare the ingredients, and put the preparations on the table a few minutes later.

Chef Gu glanced at the table and nodded: "Come, I'll teach you, first sprinkle the starch into the shredded meat and stir it with your hands." ”

Wu Ming hurriedly went to wash his hands, and then found this Chef Gu and began to stir shredded meat.

"Mu Fei, if you're all right, just help me heat up these soups, then boil caramel in boiling oil, and tell me when the sugar is over. ”

Several people were busy for a long time, and finally put the dish in the pot, at this time, Gu Xingzhi handed Wu Ming and Li Mufei two bottles; "The most important time for this dish is the seasoning that will go in after the pot is boiled, I will count one, two, three, and the two of you will pour it in together, just listen to my command, you must be together." ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Xingzhi increased the firepower, and waited until he saw that the moisture in the pot had begun to bubble: "Right now." ”

Wu Ming and Li Mufei began to import the liquid in the bottle at the same time, and after pouring it, Wu Ming sniffed the mouth of the bottle, and then took the bottle from Li Mufei's hand: "This...... It's wine and vinegar. ”

"Yes, there's nothing new about this, the way to cook home-cooked food, the focus is on my previous treatment of caramel, which can make the meat aroma and caramel aroma blend, and finally boil out a little fruity aroma. Gu Xingzhi said.

Wu Ming smiled: "I said Chef Gu, you're a little too evil, we use all vegetables and meat, how can there be a fruity aroma?"

"That's what you don't understand. Gu Xingzhi said: "Mu Fei, this person who has not studied is different from us, you tell him what effect will be produced when wine and vinegar are mixed and boiled at high temperature at the same time." ”

Li Mufei thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Yes, this is an esterification reaction, the main ingredient in liquor is ethanol, and the main active ingredient in vinegar is acetic acid and amino acids. ”

"That's right. Gu Xingzhi said: "Actually, this is a very common cooking technique, but how many people know the truth of this."

This cooking is actually very similar to doing other things, Wu Ming, sometimes it is not enough to just look at the surface, and the most important thing is to investigate the essence behind this. ”

Wu Mingleng paused: "Chef Gu, do you have anything to say to me?"

Gu Xingzhi nodded: "I heard that you recently encountered a little difficulty when you were studying wine brewing with Teacher Gao?"

Wu Ming nodded: "You also know about this?"

"Yes, Wu Ming, your advantage is that you have mastered skills that others don't have. Gu Xingzhi said: "But don't forget, there has never been any metaphysics in this world, and any phenomenon has a material basis, including the things recorded in your unknown strange book, only by learning some systematic and basic theories, and making your knowledge system solid, can you really learn and apply it, do you understand?"

Wu Ming paused for a moment: "Chef Gu, today I said that I was asked to help me cook, but you are teaching me the truth of learning, and Wu Ming has been taught." ”

Gu Xingzhi nodded: "I'm just a cook, I can't teach you much, and the rest has to be experienced by yourself, okay, don't say so much, let's taste my dish." ”

Li Mufei picked up a chopstick dish and put it in his mouth: "It's great, the caramel aroma, and the sauce aroma produced in the meat marinating process are very well integrated, and the fruity aroma is if there is nothing, but the magic is in this if there is nothing, and it does not dominate, but plays the role of icing on the cake, this dish is awesome." ”

Wu Ming also tasted it: "I don't have so many words, but seriously, when we participated in the King of Chef Competition, if you use this dish, where is there any King of Chefs in the South and King of Chefs in the North, there is only one King of Chefs in the world, that is, you King Gu." ”

Gu Xingzhi waved his hand: "Don't say that, it's all some carving insect skills, if the king of the northern kitchen of the family hears you say this, you have to compete with me, okay, that's all I can say, you two, just eat a little and hurry up and get down to business, this is not the time for leisure and entertainment." ”

Wu Ming wanted to desert and make himself lazy, but he didn't expect to come here and be educated by Gu Xingzhi through a dish, but Wu Ming was convinced, and immediately took Li Mufei back to the factory after eating, and he returned to Panlong Villa, wanting to go directly to Gao Jin and continue to study the matter of wine brewing together.

But as soon as he walked to the door, he saw a person sitting at the gate of Panlong Villa, and the security guards next to him were helpless, Wu Ming frowned: "What's the matter, just let people sit here, why is he asking for food? Looking for trouble? What do you security guards do to eat?"

The security guard looked at Wu Ming helplessly: "Mr. Wu, we have no choice at this time, this guy has been beaten four times, and he still doesn't leave, we have to wait here until you come back, we don't dare to make this guy out of a bad way, so we can only let him sit here and wait." ”

Wu Ming frowned: "Who is so ruthless, call me over and let me see." ”

"No need to call, no need to call, Mr. Wu, it's me, I'm Ruan Dalong. ”

When Wu Ming heard this voice, he felt that his head was big, why did this guy come again, to be honest, Ruan Dalong is indeed a good troll, he was stunned last time and moved Wu Ming, but since Wu Ming heard a little bit about the situation from Bai Bin, he directly put this guy and the liar into a grade, and he didn't want to see this guy again.

But Wu Ming couldn't have imagined that this guy actually came to find Wu Ming by himself, Wu Ming stood in place, ignoring him, ignoring him.

At this time, Ruan Dalong ran to Wu Ming: "Oh, I said Mr. Wu, how did you think about the last time? I have already written out the plan for you, and I want to find a chance to send it to you, but the security guards under you are too ignorant to know that I want to partner with you to do big things, you can take a look......"

"Mr. Ruan, I'm really sorry, I'm very busy now, please go back first, you sit at the door of my Panlong Villa like this, and you don't let me do business. Wu Ming said: "Besides, Panlong Villa is now in and out of so many vehicles, if anyone accidentally hurts you, what should I do, I can't afford this responsibility."

Okay, let's talk about it today, that's it, please go back first. ”

Ruan Dalong paused for a moment: "No, Mr. Wu, didn't you say last time that you are still interested in this thing?"

"I didn't say anything. Wu Ming said: "Mr. Ruan, please leave quickly, otherwise, I will really call the police." ”

"Don't, don't, in this way, Mr. Wu I know you're busy, is this okay, you give me ten minutes, let me explain my plan to you in detail......"

"I don't think you need to elaborate on your plan, Mr. Ruan, you must let me say what I said so clearly, so that you don't look good on your face, I think you should go elsewhere and persuade other bosses." After Wu Ming finished speaking, he turned around and was about to get into the car.

At this time, Ruan Dalong did something that made Wu Ming rub his hands without urgency, and this guy actually pounced directly on Wu Ming's hood: "Mr. Wu, please, this is a life-saving thing, if you promise me, then my business will be alive, I, Ruan Dalong, will touch the nail for the rest of my life, you are my last hope." ”

Wu Ming became angry directly: "Ruan Dalong, do you want to be shameless, what kind of play are you acting in front of me, I will say it again, I am not interested in your plan, I am not interested in it at all, now you will give me a fuck, security, security!"

A few security guards hurriedly ran over, and Wu Ming said: "What are you doing in a daze, I'll pay you a salary to let you watch the excitement, and get people away for me!"

These security guards went up, and several people worked together to drag Ruan Dalong off Wu Ming's car, Wu Ming shouted: "If this guy continues to play Laipi, he will call the police directly, and say that he is harassing me, Mr. Ruan, I have checked your background, and you have not succeeded in any project at all." And your detention period in China is almost up, now you harass the citizens of our country, I am afraid that you will be deported soon, as long as I am willing, use some small means, you will not be able to enter our country in your life, you better be aware of the times, get out!"
