Dongpo meat, according to legend, is created by Su Dongpo, in Sichuan cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hubei cuisine and other cuisines, but the practice is not the same, there are first boiled and then burned, there are first boiled and then steamed, and there is direct stewing to collect juice.

Lao Xie's method is to directly simmer and collect the juice, which is relatively time-saving, but the requirements for heat are very high. Lao Xie has been making Dongpo meat for more than ten years, and his level is already quite high, but he doesn't want to receive a strange request today.

One less spoonful of water? What is the requirement?

Although Lao Xie muttered in his heart, he thought that the one who could make such a request must be a glutton, and if he didn't follow other people's requirements, he would definitely make people unhappy. Anyway, you can still cook the meat with a spoonful of water, at most it will only be a little greasy because the heat is not enough. Lao Xie did as requested, and when he finally simmered, he hesitated slightly, but still put a spoonful of water less according to the customer's request.

Boiled over high heat, simmered over low heat, boiled for two minutes less than usual, the soup was put away, a red and translucent Dongpo meat was freshly out of the pot, and the plates were neatly placed on the plate, and the food delivery staff quickly served the dishes, but Lao Xie picked up an extra piece of braised pork and tasted it - sure enough, it was exactly the same as he expected, the simmering time was a little shorter, and the meat was still a little greasy.

But the problem is not serious, anyway, this is also according to the customer's requirements, the calculation is slightly flawed, and I don't want to find a chef theory.

Lao Xie swallowed the first bite of Dongpo meat, looked at the remaining half of the chopsticks, and threw it away, so he ate it all, so he bit half of it again. Hmm? It tastes a little better this time than it did just now? Not so tired?

Lao Xie frowned and stuffed the last small bite into his mouth, chewed it lightly, but his brows furrowed even tighter, and then threw away the chopsticks, turned around and ran towards the kitchen door.

"Old Xie, what are you doing?" shouted the second chef.

"I'm going to meet the customer......" Lao Xie kept running.

The second chef's face darkened, and he snorted coldly in his heart: Is this a mistake? Can't you eat the dishes you make? You go up in such a hurry, and you can't catch up with the chef! Hmph, as long as this basket is poked out, you don't want to do it as a third chef, just promote my junior brother up......

"Dongpo meat should be eaten hot, it will not taste good when it is cold. Lin Yi said, "Lao Wang, how about it taste, hehe." ”

"Mr. Lin's recommendation must not be wrong, hehe......" Wang Weidong sandwiched a piece, the meat piece did not reach his mouth, the rich fragrance already made people appetizing, and after a bite, it was fat but not greasy, and the mouth was full of fragrance.

"Lao Xie's Dongpo meat is made by the method of stewing and collecting juice, compared with the method I filmed in the show, which is made by the method of boiling first and then steaming, the taste is stronger, and it is more suitable for the taste of northerners. Lin Yi also tasted a piece and said, "Well, the heat is just right, hehe......"

"Sir, we chefs want to meet you, don't you know?" said the waiter, knocking on the door.

"Let him in, huh. Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Xiaolin, it's really you, haha!" Lao Xie was wearing a kitchen coat and shouted with a smile as soon as he entered the door.

"Lao Xie, you are good at craftsmanship, hehe. Lin Yi also stood up with a smile.

"Hey, it's not like you kid asked me to put one less spoonful of water!" exclaimed Old Xie.

"What's going on? What does this have to do with putting one less spoonful of water?" Fang Jiayi shouted as she chewed the meat.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I saw that Lin Yi was too excited to disturb your meal. Lao Xie said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's all your own people, Lao Xie, come and sit. Lin Yi greeted.

"No, no, no, I'm still on duty. Lao Xie hurriedly said, "I just wonder which customer has such a high level, come and thank some, I didn't expect it to be you, hehe." ”

"Oh, you're welcome, tell me what it means to put one less spoonful of water?" Fang Jiayi shouted.

Lin Yi smiled, this girl looks like a high-end foodie, and she knows how to explore technical issues.

"Well, that's the case, the Dongpo meat I used to make was cooked to just right, when Lin Yi was here before, he said that I overcooked it, the meat was too soft and chewy, I always thought he was deliberately picking on thorns. Lao Xie smiled embarrassedly, "Didn't this one ask for a spoonful of water just now? In fact, when it comes out of the pot, the heat is a little poor, and it is a little greasy." However, the last time the process took a minute or two, and the meat was still hot at this time, just enough to make up for the difference. When the food arrives on the customer's table, the heat is just the best, it tastes fat but not greasy, and the meat is not too bad and chewy!"

"Ah, there is still such a statement?" Fang Jiayi said in astonishment.

"Of course there is such a saying," Lin Yi said with a smile, "Well, for example, for example, the iron plate steak in Western food, how much cooked do you usually order? They all say that seven medium rare tastes the best, right? But often in the restaurant, the seven medium rare is actually eaten, and the meat is actually firewood, because after the iron plate is served, it is still kept at a high temperature, and the meat is of course old." Therefore, if you want to eat medium-rare, you have to order medium-rare, and even some restaurants serve the food too quickly, and you order medium-rare to ensure that it will not be sandwiched. Therefore, as a chef, you must not only consider the heat of the dishes when they come out of the pot, but also the heat of the dishes after they are served, so as to ensure that the most delicious ...... when the guests eat it."

"Tsk, I've gained knowledge, I've grown knowledge, no wonder I can't eat the sweet taste of beef when I eat steak, the steak I eat is too old...... Wang Weidong said with a smile.

"Hey, you kid gave me this example earlier, shouldn't I have put a spoonful of water earlier?" said Old Xie Haha.

"Let's not talk about that, sit down and have a drink. Lin Yi greeted.

"No, no, I'm on duty, you know our rules here. Lao Xie said, "Today I am specifically thanking the customer for their guidance, another day, another day I will invite you, let's have a good drink." ”

"Well, I also have something I want to talk to you about, I'll call you another day. Lin Yi said.

After sending Lao Xie away, Wang Weidong said: "Mr. Lin really deserves to be called the god of food, and one sentence has improved the level of chefs a lot." Come on, let's make a toast to the chef!"

Everyone ate for a while, Wang Weidong excused himself to go to the bathroom to check out, but he was inevitably asked by the cashier at the front desk, Wang Weidong also knew that Lin Yi had worked here, and if he was as shrewd as he was, of course, he would have to praise Lin Yi, but he could hear Xiao Lin's face next to him flickering, and his heart was mixed.

Sure enough, he was gone, and that guy really made a fortune? He opened such a big restaurant chain company in just three or four months after he resigned? He even started a TV show and became a host? How could he be blind in the first place, and think that the apprentice of the second chef was more capable than him......
