Chapter 658: Imperial Foie Gras
Ramsey has always been a quick temper, and since he promised Xiao Ping, he naturally took action immediately. The angry chef took Xiao Ping to the kitchen and said to him with great interest: "The things you sent must be unusual, today I will cook these foie gras with my own hands, so that you can see how my cooking skills are!"
To be honest, Xiao Ping only knows that Ramsey has a high reputation in the culinary world, but he doesn't know much about his cooking skills. Since he met Ramsey, Xiao Ping has been angry and scolded several times, but he has never seen him cook. Today, I have the opportunity to see Ramsey's craftsmanship, and Xiao Ping naturally agrees.
So Xiao Ping and Ramsey took the goose to the kitchen. Just as he was waiting to see the angry chef show his skills, Ramsey looked at the two fat Rondes geese for a long time, and then said to Xiao Ping embarrassedly: "That...... I will only deal with dead geese, live geese...... I've never killed you!"
There was nothing to say about Ramsey's statement, Xiao Ping could only helplessly roll up his sleeves and say: "I'll kill the goose, you just need to cook!"
Ramsey was surprised: "You still kill geese?
Xiao Ping shook his head speechlessly, found a sharp kitchen knife, and cleanly cut off the necks of two Lande geese, and then let go of the water, scalded and plucked the feathers, and cut open the stomach to take out the internal organs.
In the past, when Xiao Ping rented from Wang Fang and his wife, as long as Wang Fang bought chickens and ducks and came back, he would always keep a copy for him. And Xiao Ping has always understood the truth of courtesy, knowing that Wang Fang didn't dare to kill chickens and ducks, so he took the initiative to take care of these jobs. There is not much difference between this Round goose and a chicken and duck, that is, it is bigger and fatter. So Xiao Ping is also familiar with doing these things, and there is no use for being unfamiliar.
Ramsey, who was watching from the sidelines, was also surprised. I couldn't help but praise from the bottom of my heart: "I didn't expect you to have this ability, it's really amazing! My chef doesn't have your skills." It's more than enough to go to the slaughterhouse to work!"
Xiao Ping shook his head speechlessly and took out a bunch of goose entrails. Soon a large piece of foie gras was separated, placed in front of Ramsey and said, "Look at this piece of foie gras." β
"Tsk, that's amazing!" Ramsey immediately drew his attention to the foie gras, and praised it as he looked at it carefully: "This foie gras is really big, bigger than any foie gras I've ever seen!
Hearing Ramsey say this, Xiao Ping's hanging heart was half relieved. Since the size and thickness of the foie gras are fine, the taste should not be too different. At the time of the introduction to the market. Even with a slogan like "Holy Pot Brand Best Fatty Foie Gras" will not be too much of a problem, and it should be able to grab people's attention smoothly.
Ramsey didn't think so much about Xiao Ping, and was still looking at the huge piece of fat foie gras. The more the angry chef looked at it, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help but whisper in admiration: "Look at the color of this foie gras, as well as the delicate texture on the incision here, it can be described as perfect! Xiao, although I haven't started cooking yet, I can already tell you very seriously that the quality of this foie gras is definitely very good!"
Ramsey is notoriously fastidious. To be able to get such a high evaluation from him. Xiao Ping couldn't help but be secretly proud.
Just when Xiao Ping was happy, Ramsey couldn't help but ask curiously: "How can foie gras grow so big and fat, how long have you raised these two geese? a year, a year and a half, or two years?"
Xiao Ping replied honestly: "Actually, I only raised it for a month and a half, and the fattening time was just thirty days. β
"This is impossible!" Xiao Ping cried out as soon as Ramsey finished speaking: "It is impossible for a Round goose that is only one and a half months old to grow so big!
Xiao Ping shrugged indifferently and said, "Believe it or not." Later, you will have time to go to my goose farm and have a look, and you will understand it all. β
"Well, you have to go and see it when you have the chance. Ramsey agreed with Xiao Ping's words, and then stared intently at the two fat foie gras in front of him. The more I looked at it, the more I felt joyful.
Ramsey's current situation is just like the previous casting master who wanted to use it to make a weapon when he saw the best iron ore, and the martial arts master wanted to fight with the opponent when he encountered an evenly matched opponent. Right now, I have two pieces of foie gras in front of me. It also makes the angry chef have the urge to show off his cooking skills, and in the end, Ramsey is what people call "skill itching".
The angry chef rubbed his hands together excitedly. couldn't wait to say to Xiao Ping: "I'll let you see my craftsmanship!"
Ramsay, who was in a hurry, said he would do it and immediately began to cook the two pieces of foie gras. From cleaning to cooking, he did it all by himself, for fear that if other chefs were involved, he would spoil the two pieces of foie gras.
For a job as a famous chef like Ramsay, a few assistants are essential. Two experienced chefs in the restaurant work as Ramsay's assistants, doing things like handing out spices and helping him decorate pots.
Of course, it's not easy to be an assistant to an angry chef. From the moment Ramsey started processing the foie gras, those two chefs started to be unlucky. The elephant moves too slowly, doesn't concentrate enough, gets too close to get in the way, is too far away and is suspected of slacking off, and even like the nails are too long, and the stiff expression is among Ramsey's dissatisfaction, as long as he finds out, he can't escape a scolding.
Poor two chefs have a good status in the Red House restaurant, they usually reprimand others, but today they were scolded by Ramsey to the blood. However, Ramsey is the big owner of the restaurant, and he is so prestigious in this industry, the two chefs can only spit on their own faces, and no matter what the angry chef says, they will only do their work.
Although Ramsey has a bad temper, his cooking skills are really top-notch. Xiao Ping, who was watching from the sidelines, found that every action of the angry host was like a flowing cloud, which not only ensured that the movements were in place without using a little more strength, and only after a long time of training could this be done. At the same time, there was a powerful aura from Ramsey, and it was this aura that made the two chefs scold him without complaining.
Xiao Ping knows that this is only the case when a person has absolute confidence in something. Xiao Ping had only seen the same situation when he was cooking with another person, and that was the retired Cao Anbang Cao Old Man. Except for these two, Sun Lin and Li Wanqing did not have such momentum when cooking.
Ramsey was quick to cook, and in less than half an hour he prepared three dishes: a French pan-fried foie gras, a foie gras with rare mushrooms, and a goose breast with mustard.
The last dish was made at Xiao Ping's request, and according to Ramsay, eating goose meat with foie gras was a joke. However, Xiao Ping made up his mind to taste the taste of goose meat at the same time, and even the angry chef could only do it.
"Xiao, come and taste my craft. Ramsey sat down at the small table in the kitchen and gestured for the waiter to serve the food immediately.
Ramsey has been in the industry for more than 20 years, and he has experienced new ingredients like this many times, and he has even become a little numb. However, because this time it was Xiao Ping's ingredients, Angry Chef was also looking forward to it, and even couldn't wait to taste the foie gras that had just been cooked.
"Chef Ramsey, come along. Xiao Ping smiled at the angry chef and picked up his knife and fork to get ready to start.
I have to admit that Ramsay's dishes are first-class. The sliced foie gras is topped with a delicious sauce and the brightly coloured side dishes are dotted on the side of the plate, making you whet your appetite.
Xiao Ping slowly cut off a piece of foie gras, and found that the knife could easily cut the foie gras, which in the clichΓ© way of saying "like a hot knife cutting cheese".
"It's delicious!" Xiao Ping put the foie gras in his mouth and immediately sighed involuntarily.
The sauce in Ramsay is very good, just enough to fully release the flavor of the foie gras itself, which not only makes the flavor of the dish richer, but also does not mask the original flavor of the ingredients, which can be said to complement each other.
And the biggest highlight of this dish is undoubtedly the foie gras itself. Needless to say, the foie gras is delicious, but it is also so tender and delicate that it melts in your mouth, and the delicious taste of foie gras fills your mouth, making you want to take a second or third bite.
"Chef Ramsey, your cooking skills are simply amazing. Xiao Ping ate the foie gras from the plate in one go, and then made time to praise the angry chef's skills.
Ramsey doesn't look much better than Xiao Ping, and while Xiao Ping praises him, the angry chef is enjoying the delicious foie gras with his eyes closed. As a professional, Angry Chef pays more attention to the problems when tasting foie gras, which is why he eats foie gras more slowly than Xiao Ping, otherwise the foie gras on his plate would have been gone for a long time.
After a long while, Ramsey opened his eyes and shook his head and sighed: "This foie gras is fat but not greasy, and the texture is as fine as your Chinese tofu, not to mention the delicious taste." Yes...... The word "best" is not enough to describe these two pieces of foie gras, they are the Yellow Emperor in foie gras, and they should be called imperial foie gras!"
Looking at Ramsey, who was full of intoxication, Xiao Ping asked with a smile: "What do you mean, this is really the best foie gras?"
Ramsey nodded impatiently, and immediately asked Xiao Ping impatiently: "All the geese in your goose farm are raised like this? How many foie gras can be produced in a month?
"Don't worry, don't worry. Xiao Ping smiled helplessly: "The goose farm has just opened, and it will take a while to produce foie gras on a large scale, if you are interested in these foie gras, we can follow the old rules and let you be the general agent of the North American market." β
Ramsey was so pleased with the news that he couldn't help but grin. However, he quickly remembered another thing, and hurriedly said to Xiao Ping: "What do you say about the truffle?"
"Don't worry. Xiao Ping pointed to the goose breast and said, "I'll talk about it after tasting this dish!" (to be continued......)
