CH.11 The Craftsmanship of Old Qi

Chopping pork ribs, cutting mustard greens, cleaning shiitake mushrooms and other ingredients, after finishing these, Zheng Ke glanced at the tools brought by the two old men, and shook his head helplessly, "Teacher, the kitchen utensils you brought are not complete." ”

Jing Jiuming and Qi Xuefeng looked at Tong Qianxi in unison.

The Sichuan and Su dishes ordered by the two of them have already been baked, and the only thing left is Cantonese cuisine. Therefore, the responsibility does not need to be asked, it is on Tong Qianxi.

"Yo, old boy, it's okay, let others cook Cantonese food, and don't give tools, amazing. ”

Qi Xuefeng finally found an opportunity to bury Tong Qianxi, of course he would not let it go.

Tong Qianxi's face turned red instantly, and she retorted: "Who...... Who can't say it all? You name one, I'll listen to it. ”

"Stew pot, is there one?" Zheng Ke asked Tong Qianxi rhetorically.

Tong Qianxi blinked, he really didn't bring this kitchenware.

There are generally two ways to stew ingredients, one is to directly put the ingredients in the pot and add water to boil, this method is relatively simple, and there are no special requirements for kitchenware, and it is generally used more by families. However, there is also a disadvantage of adding water to stew directly, that is, in the process of stewing, the aroma and nutrients will also be lost, so the taste is not too good. High-end restaurants will use another method called stewed ingredients.

Basically, the ingredients and water are poured into a saucepan, and then the saucepan is placed in a pot with water added. At this time, the heat received by the stew pot comes from the water vapor of the cauldron, so the heat will be slowly and evenly transferred through the stew pot to the ingredients inside during the cooking process. In this way, the ingredients not only prevent the loss of nutrients, but also ensure the original taste of the ingredients.

Seeing that Tong Qianxi didn't speak for a long time, Zheng Ke also guessed the reason, so he could only shrug his shoulders at Jing Jiuming and Qi Xuefeng, "Three seniors, the taste of the last dish, please lower your expectations." ”

Although the two of them had some regrets, they also had to accept Zheng Ke's statement.

Equipment such as stew cups and clay pots are often used when making soups. Moreover, they knew in advance that Zheng Ke was going to make fish today, and fish soup was the easiest dish to think of, so from common sense, it should indeed be prepared.

This time it was true that they were not ready.

Of course, it can be boiled in an ordinary iron pot, but the taste is a little worse.

The three people who were still in high spirits and discussing the next dish suddenly lost a lot, and their expectations for the third dish also dropped.

Sometimes that's how it is, the cooking competition is not only about the cooking skills, but also about the quality of the kitchenware and materials.

Zheng Ke put the mushrooms, pork ribs, mustard strips, and eel in the pot, added the ingredients and the light soup, and then covered the pot and stewed.

For a while, several people didn't have anything to do, and they wanted to chat, but they were slightly embarrassed.

Zheng Ke put on a cotton coat and squatted on the ground, holding his stomach.

He had been busy just now, and he didn't feel it yet, but now that he was idle, he suddenly felt a little hungry.

"Boy, have you eaten breakfast?" Jing Jiuming asked.

"No, I'll go to the pool in the morning. Zheng Ke said weakly.

Jing Jiuming suddenly stood up and took off his Tang costume.

"Hey, Lao Jing, what are you doing?" Tong Qianxi hurriedly asked.

"Cook for this kid and cushion his stomach. After a while, he may not have time to eat. Jing Jiuming rolled up his sleeves.

"Don't, I'll make this dish, right? I met Xiao Zheng yesterday, and I ate a few dishes from him in a row, and I didn't lose making one for him. Qi Xuefeng also took off his hat and coat, put them on the square table, and took the lead in front of the two fresh-keeping boxes, and turned around and said to Jing Jiuming, "You go back, you don't need you here." ”

Jing Jiuming pouted, picked up the clothes on the square table, and put them back on.

"What do you want to do?" Tong Qianxi looked at Jing Jiuming vigilantly.

"I don't do anything, I just think he's a little hard. Jing Jiuming said lightly.

"You already have Que Zhengqing. Tong Qianxi reminded.

"Don't think about it.,It's not like you don't know.,He can't enter the Oriental School Park.。 Jing Jiuming said lightly.

"What about Old Qi?" Tong Qianxi looked at Qi Xuefeng again, only to see that Qi Xuefeng had selected mushrooms and bamboo shoots.

"After all, he slept with that kid all night and ate a few dishes from that kid, so he probably felt uneasy, right?" Jing Jiuming touched his bare chin and speculated.

"Will he be uneasy?" Tong Qianxi snorted coldly, and then stopped talking, just kept touching his beard.

Zheng Ke saw Qi Xuefeng cooking ingredients, and also stood up, his eyes glancing at Qi Xuefeng.

Since Jing Jiuming is Que Zhengqing's master, then Qi Xuefeng, who has a good relationship with Jing Jiuming, should not have anything to say about his cooking skills - especially, this place is the Oriental Academy, the best Chinese cooking school in the world.

Qi Xuefeng soaked the mushrooms in hot water, took out another bamboo shoot, removed the skin, put it on the cutting board, and quickly cut it with the kitchen knife in his hand.

At first glance, the speed of the kitchen knife is not so fast, but in the blink of an eye, the winter bamboo shoots are cut into thin slices, the length is the same, and the width is the same.

When Qi Xuefeng put down the kitchen knife, Zheng Ke realized that the winter bamboo shoots had been cut.

Zheng Ke was secretly speechless, obviously it looked like a normal speed, but when Qi Xuefeng had already cut the winter bamboo shoots, he realized this.

Next, Qi Xuefeng began to cook the dishes, every step was very light, as if there was no force, but the effect was surprisingly perfect.

Zheng Ke can be sure that Qi Xuefeng did not use the "realm", just normal cooking, but it looks so comfortable, everything looks so comfortable, there is a feeling of four or two thousand pounds. Compared with Qi Xuefeng, his cooking skills are a little sharp.

"What are you looking at?" Qi Xuefeng asked Zheng Ke after closing the lid on the pot.

"I think you have a special feeling when you're cooking, you don't use much force, but the effect is surprisingly good......

Qi Xuefeng waved his hand, "Stinky boy, what do you know? Do you think I don't want to be like you? Although I don't accept old age, my body is very obedient, and my physical strength can't keep up at all." In order to cook for a few more years, many times there is a compromise. Tell you, don't envy me, because when you get to me, you will find that if you don't have physical strength, no matter how good your cooking skills are, it's useless. ”

Qi Xuefeng's face was a little lost, it seemed that his age and physical strength had a great impact on him.

"Old Qi, what you said in this sentence is a bit of a level. Tong Qianxi said suddenly.

"P!I've always spoken at a very good level. Hum. Qi Xuefeng snorted coldly and turned her head.

“……”

This one...... Old man Qi really has a character.

Qi Xuefeng lifted the lid of the pot, poured in the sauce, sprinkled it with soy sauce, and stir-fried it slightly.

"Okay, boy, the dish I made for you is called fried double winter, can you eat it quickly?" Qi Xuefeng said proudly.

"Wait a minute. ”

Zheng Ke also came to his pot, lifted the lid of the pot, and put the eel dishes on the plate, "Three seniors, my eel dishes are also ready, please taste them slowly - stewed eel." ”
