Chapter 29: As a Chef
Li Chuan was still holding a spoon in his hand, walked over and looked Lu Shilin up and down, and smiled: "Who else should I be, a hairy boy, and dare to criticize the dishes I make? You also deserve to eat the dishes I make?"
Hmmm-
Li Chuan's voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the people in the entire banquet, and even Cao Feng, who was being polite in various ways, noticed what was going on here.
He came out of the crowd, looked closely, and found that Li Chuan was scolding Lu Shilin, and Cao Feng was instantly stunned.
What's going on?
I've only been away for a while, why did Lin Zi provoke so many big guys? I'm going, something big is going to happen today.
Li Chuan is also a very temperamental person, from the early twenties to learn the arts, until the age of twenty-seven, won many culinary competitions, he is very confident in his ability, but also very disgusted by some laymen to judge his dishes.
Especially, when he saw that Lu Shilin was just a high school student, he was even more angry.
Cao Zhengqi frowned, angry in his heart, and said in his heart, Lu Shilin, why don't you know how to see with your eyes? If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand, you are here to provoke right and wrong, but it will be my face.
Lu Shilin smiled angrily and complained bluntly: "As a famous chef, but you make dishes like this, you are embarrassed to say that I am a hairy boy?"
Li Chuan's temper was also stubborn, and with a click, he directly lifted a plate of back to the pot next to him, put it in front of Lu Shilin, pointed to the back pot meat and said loudly: "Come, come, tell me, what's wrong with this plate of back pot meat?"
Hmmm-
The atmosphere instantly condensed.
Cao Feng next to him sweated for him, these characters are all at the level of a big man, he is a child, he really doesn't dare to do anything. Even his father, Cao Zhengqi, owes some, let alone him.
But Lu Shilin was very calm, took a pair of chopsticks, took a piece of pork belly and stuffed it into his mouth, tasted it, and shook his head again.
Li Chuan's face had changed, and even Wei Xian on the side had changed his face.
This time, the pot meat should be regarded as the top three dishes on the whole table. In Wei Xian's view, Li Chuan deserves to win so many food awards. Although there are flaws in it, it doesn't mean to shake your head.
"Tell me about it. Li Chuan crossed his arms and looked at Lu Shilin with an unhappy face.
The bigwigs around them all felt that Lu Shilin was a little too pretending, and some even felt that Lu Shilin actually didn't know how to pretend to understand.
Lu Shilin looked like "Since you sincerely asked, then I will tell you sincerely", pointed to the back pot meat and said directly: "As the name suggests, the meat should be cooked first, and then fried slices and fried, which means "back to the pot". ”
"It is characterized by a unique taste, bright red color, fat but not greasy. But what about this pot meat you made?"
"First of all, the best pork belly to choose is the best meat. In the Shuchuan generation, the best pork belly should be the pork from the spiced pig produced in Qingyang Village, a suburb of Jindu. ”
Hearing this, Li Chuan laughed directly and mocked: "This is the pork on the spiced pig in Qingyang Village." ”
Lu Shilin glanced at him and said with a smile: "I didn't say that it is not the pork from the spiced pig, what I want to say is that although you chose the pork from the spiced pig, you chose the wrong place." ”
"Shuchuan generation, everyone knows that the meat is fat but not greasy, and the pork belly is fat and thin, so you should choose the pork belly on the spiced pig's belly, but your plate of meat is the meat on the thigh. Although it is all from the meat of the spiced pig, the meat on the thighs is lean and fat, which indirectly affects the taste of the meat. ”
Hmmm-
Speaking of this, Li Chuan and Wei Xian were stunned at the same time.
This dish was made by Li Chuan himself, so he chose that piece of meat, he wanted to be clear.
As for Wei Xian, when he tasted this dish, he completely ignored the choice of pork belly, and after Lu Shilin said this, he could remember that when he tasted this pot meat before, he was indeed lean and fat.
"Also, in terms of ingredients, you obviously need red peppers, but you are paired with small peppers. Among the excipients, green garlic and garlic should be put in, but you put twice as much garlic, but there is no green garlic at all. ”
"During the production process, you also made mistakes. ”
This series of picks directly made the surrounding bigwigs confused. Some people are in the catering industry and can understand some of them more or less, but some people are completely in the clouds.
As Lu Shilin peeled off the layers of this pot meat, Wei Xian's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the more he looked at Lu Shilin, the more he liked and appreciated it.
"In the first step, put the pork belly in a pot of cold water, add a few slices of ginger and cook together. However, you first boiled the pork belly half-cooked, and then added ginger slices, which caused the fishy smell of the pork belly to remain and the taste to deviate. ”
"In the second step, the pork belly is cooked until it is easy to insert with chopsticks, which means that the meat is cooked, turn off the heat and remove it. Maybe it's because today is a banquet for 100 people, and you are in a hurry, so when the pork belly is not completely cooked, you rush to take out the meat, resulting in a decrease in the texture of the meat that comes out of the pot at the end. ”
Hmmm-
When Lu Shilin said this, the arrogance in Li Chuan's heart was gone.
He was amazed, for he had been in such a situation himself. Indeed, as Lu Shilin said, there are too many people at today's banquet of 100 people, and he simply doesn't have that much time. Several dishes were very rushed and not as comfortable as he usually was.
Li Chuan still clearly remembers that when he made this pot meat, the pork belly was indeed not thoroughly cooked, and the chopsticks could only be inserted halfway.
But at that time, Li Chuan was in a hurry to serve the food, so he directly turned off the fire, fished out the pork belly and started cooking.
And Lu Shilin tasted it so shallowly, and he could taste that there was a problem with the meat quality, which was also too awesome.
Li Chuan subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his expression became serious.
"The third step is to prepare the other raw materials, and the pork belly is cold and cut into thin slices, which is not wrong, but the fourth step is problematic, the pot is heated, the appropriate amount of oil is added, and the ginger and garlic slices are stir-fried until fragrant, and you throw the ginger and garlic into the pot first, and then put the oil. This should also be your way to save time. ”
"You see, there are seven or eight steps in making this dish of back to the pot, and you are wrong in three important steps, so with such an attitude of cooking, are you sure you can afford the word 'chef'?"
"As a chef, every dish should be treated with an extremely critical eye, but there are more than a dozen dishes on this table, and none of them can be mastered. ”
Lu Shilin's last sentence is very heavy.
