Chapter 5 On-site Production (II)
Dongyuan Hotel is worthy of being a five-star hotel with hardware, the kitchen is clean and tidy, and all kinds of ingredients are quite complete, it only took a few minutes for Li Yu to classify the ingredients.
Onions, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, and bay leaves were all divided into several small bowls by Li Yu according to the amount.
At the same time, there is also a soup pot, a wok and a casserole.
When making hooves, the green onion should be knotted, and the ginger should also be sliced, Li Yu pulled over a cutting board, put the green onion shreds, and quickly got the knife.
"Tuk Tuk-" The blade touched the cutting board with a heavy, rhythmic sound, and in the blink of an eye, a handful of shallots were chopped into small sections.
"Hey, this young man's knife skills are good. Manager Lin turned his head and found a middle-aged man standing beside him, with four feathers marked on the middle-aged man's chest.
"Yang Siduan, you are here," Manager Lin hurriedly greeted the middle-aged man, this is the head chef of Dongyuan Hotel, Yang Qiguang, "Yang Siduan, things are like this......"
After listening to Manager Lin's story, Yang Siduan glanced at Yu Sanduan, who was standing aside, and said, "The broken shop hooves are indeed a famous food in Shucheng, but because of the meat fasting, not many people know about this history, and this young man can tell the origin of this dish..... Interesting, interesting. ”
Manager Lin lifted his glasses and said, "What does Yang Sidan mean...... Could this recipe be true?"
"It's hard to say," Yang Siduan didn't say anything, after all, just by cutting onions and garlic, there was still no way to distinguish the authenticity of the recipe: "Go ahead and take a look, anyway, we'll boil the pot later." ”
At this time, the cook who went out to buy hooves also came back, this is a very clever guy, trotted all the way from the door to the stove, handed the hooves to Li Yu, and asked, "Mr. Li, can you look at this hooves?"
Li Yu took the hoof and glanced at it twice, and nodded with satisfaction: "Very fresh hooves, thank you for your hard work." ”
The young man smiled and stepped aside to drink water.
The hooves are very fresh, and the blood vessels on the side that come into contact with the air have not solidified, judging from the thickness of the meat, it should be an authentic local free-range pig.
Hoofs can be classified as 'elbows', but strictly speaking, elbows and hooves are two adjacent parts, just like big arms and small arms.
Compared to elbows, hooves are much easier to make because there are very few blood vessels on the hooves.
Simply and neatly removed the impurities from the hooves, Li Yu picked up the kitchen knife and neatly slashed along the bone seams, and the meat of the hooves instantly loosened a little, which meant that the meat was opened.
Seeing Li Yu's knife, Yang Siduan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, this seemingly ordinary knife was actually tightly attached to the bone seam of the hoof, so that without destroying the shape of the hoof, the material receiving area of the hoof reached the maximum.
This is a knife that even he has not mastered!
Immediately afterwards, Li Yu put the processed hooves into the boiling water on the side, added ginger, garlic cloves, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and green onions, and waited until the hooves were burned to seven ripe, and he quickly scooped up the hooves.
Li Yu didn't rush to open another pot, but put his hooves in a big bowl and rinsed it with cold water.
"Guy... Little master, is there any use for you to get to this step?" Yang Siduan asked when he saw that Li Yu was not so busy.
"The skin of the meat after the cold water tastes better, and the meat quality will become more layered. Li Yu didn't stop with both hands, glanced at Yang Siduan, and explained the principle.
This process is not the core of the shop's hooves, and it has little impact when it is said, but the focus of the shop's hooves is the control of the heat and the blending of sauces.
The proportions of various spices can't be replicated by eyes alone, so Li Yu is not afraid of being stolen at all.
After the cold water, the skin of the hooves became a little tighter, Li Yu quickly put the hooves into the casserole, poured in a little boiled bone broth, and the prepared sauce was also gently poured by Li Yu, and began to burn it violently over high heat.
As soon as the dark soy sauce and star anise in the sauce are heated, a special aroma suddenly spreads and fills the entire kitchen.
Smelling this aroma, Yang Siduan shook his head with a wry smile, he patted Manager Lin's shoulder, and said, "Xiao Lin, you can call Mr. Zhao to come over." ”
Seeing that Manager Lin didn't understand what he meant, Yang Siduan reminded again: "Mr. Zhao said that the purchase of more than 500,000 recipes must be approved by him." ”
Manager Lin opened his mouth wide and snorted a few times, but he didn't know how to speak, until Yang Siduan patted him on the shoulder again, he reacted and hurriedly went out to call.
On the stove, Li Yu washed the snow peas, put them into the boiling casserole and covered them tightly, moved the casserole to another stove with tongs, and turned on low heat to simmer.
Li Yu exhaled, wiped the sweat on his head, looked up and said, "Manager Lin, it takes three hours to simmer... Huh, where's Manager Lin?"
"He went out to call, little brother, you continue, it's only three hours, we can afford to wait!" Yang Siduan couldn't help but speak, his tone was a little excited, could it be that the famous food of Shucheng, which had disappeared for nearly eighty years, was about to reappear in front of his eyes?
Li Yu nodded, pulled the stool to his side, and beckoned to Yiyi, and the little girl walked over quickly.
Looking at Yiyi's clear eyes, Li Yu's heart trembled inexplicably, "Dean Wang... What's wrong with him?"
"Dad has uremia, and the doctor said that he would change his kidney for treatment," Yiyi's eyes were a little red, and his body shrank in the direction of Li Yu, "All the medical expenses cost hundreds of thousands, Dad, his savings over the years have been spent on the welfare home, and the money saved in advance when he was hospitalized was still paid in advance by the uncles and aunts of the guild." ”
Li Yu sighed slightly, it was actually this disease!
Kidneys, liver, lungs, and diseases that are related to these three organs, none of them are simple.
Uremia requires continuous dialysis and waiting for the opportunity to undergo kidney exchange surgery, with a little luck, to have a chance of survival.
The cure rate of this disease is low, and the cost is also high.
As the director of the welfare institute at the urban level, Wang Tao is not a national cadre, and he only enjoys medical insurance for employees, and the cost of surgery can only be reimbursed at most 60%.
In addition, the matching of *** is extremely difficult, and Dean Wang's disease is difficult to treat!
