Chapter Seventy-Five: Tea and Food
The next morning, you who came back from morning exercise prepared all the ingredients with one hand, and then was busy making breakfast.
Ye'er Baba (also known as pig and duck ba) is a famous snack throughout Sichuan, named after its steamed food wrapped in ginger leaves when it is made, it has the characteristics of light green color, glutinous leather surface, salty and sweet, fragrant and delicious, and the main birthplace of Ye'er Baba is in YB City, Sacheon Province - the hometown of Wuliangye.
To make leaf rake, the ratio of rice is very important, with glutinous rice containing amylopectin 100 standard, and then depending on the quality of the sticky rice to add sticky rice, sticky rice quality is high, glutinous rice is sixty percent, sticky rice is forty percent, sticky rice quality is low, glutinous rice is seventy, sticky rice is three, this is the key to determining the finished product, otherwise the product is not only rough but also sticky. (Sticky rice is also ordinary rice)
The next step is soaking, washing the rice to remove impurities, and then soaking it in cold water for 2~3 days, but all the processes that take a long time, such as pickling, soaking, boiling, etc., are especially carried out in the ancient Shaolin kitchen, where one hour is equal to one day in the outside world.
After the rice grains are soaked, it is necessary to grind and press the dry powder, and the soaked rice is made into rice milk with a stone mill, which requires a slow rotation speed, the so-called "fast licking, slow shaking and grinding" (the speed is too fast, there will be "burning pulp", so that the finished product is foaming, no toughness), and then the rice milk is hung or pressed dry, becoming a dry pulp powder with a certain moisture (commonly known as "hanging pulp"), in the ancient Shaolin kitchen mill, you are sweating profusely pushing the mill, the ball sits in the middle of the grinding disc from time to time scoops up a spoonful of rice and puts it into the grinding eye, and then makes the skin and stuffing and then steames it in the pot. The leaves used by You Yishou are picked from the 100,000 mountains, and this kind of leaf fragrance is extremely suitable for making leaf rakes.
Now he will make a special snack every morning, in addition to letting the staff eat well, the main thing is to learn, the top chef must not only be able to stir-fry, but also pastries, snacks, cold dishes, desserts, etc.
In the morning, Han Yufei came to the restaurant, blushed and thanked You Yishou and left in a hurry, making You Yishou inexplicable.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, a red Volvo car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and the parking attendant Xiao Liu stepped forward and said: "Hello, do you have a reservation?" "Now the restaurant is full every day and there is no place without booking in advance.
At this time, a dignified and elegant middle-aged woman got out of the car, and I saw her smile and said, "Hello, I made an appointment with your boss." ”
The parking attendant Xiao Liu hurriedly said, "Please come inside." ”
Mai Ling, the president of the Sacheon Food Association, who is in her fifties, but feels like she is in her early forties at most, Mai Ling, a senior economist, has many years of media work experience, is keen on all kinds of food, and has a very wide network in Chengdu, most of the members of her food association are retired senior government officials and social celebrities, and their influence is very great.
In the restaurant, Han Yufei and Mai Ling were chatting cordially, as the second generation of officials, she naturally knew Mai Ling's background, don't underestimate these semi-official organizations that have no real power, the energy behind them is amazing.
"Sister Ling, are you here today?" On the phone, the other party just said that he wanted to meet with him, but he didn't say anything.
I saw Mai Ling smile and said: "That's the case, the Sacheon Food Festival will open in two days, and I want to invite your restaurant to participate in the exhibition." ”
"Food festivals? Of course, Han Yufei knew the importance of the food festival, and it was a good time to show off her restaurant, but she didn't know whether she should agree or not, after all, the restaurant was about to close.
Seeing her hesitation, Mai Ling continued to persuade: "This food festival is organized by the government, not only for domestic catering enterprises, but also for some food institutions from Southeast Asia and other countries. ”
"Yang Shuang, you go and call Master You." Han Yufei thought for a while and said.
"Okay"
……
When You Yishou learned that the restaurant was invited to participate in the food festival, he said without thinking, "Thank you, President Mai, we accept the invitation." ”
Mai Ling said happily: "Then we will decide, see you at the International Convention and Exhibition Center in three days." ”
Originally, Han Yufei warmly retained Mai Ling to dine here at noon, but the latter said that she had something to wait for the next time to taste it and left, and You Yishou and Han Yufei got up to send each other.
"Master You, are you sure you want to participate in the food festival?" Back in the restaurant, Han Yufei said worriedly.
"Mr. Han, I said that I want to make Huanhua Villa the best restaurant in Rongcheng." You said confidently that this goal has never changed, and participating in the food festival is the fastest way.
As noon approached, there were more and more guests, and you were getting busier and busier.
"Master You, there is an old man who wants to order some dishes related to tea culture, and it seems that he has a close relationship with Mr. Han." Yang Shuang came to the back kitchen and said to You.
"Tea culture?" You Yishou was stunned for a moment, he really didn't have much research on Chinese tea culture.
"Drop, the tea and diet chapter of the ancient Shaolin kitchen recipe is unsealed, and the host needs to go to 100,000 mountains to reclaim 10,000 acres of tea gardens to obtain tea recipes."
"What, reclaiming 10,000 acres of tea plantations? Don't do it, don't do it. "Last time, he dug stones for half a year in order to practice the eighteen shovels of demon subjugation, and now he has to go to the tea garden to kill him.
"Drop, the host violates the virtue of cooking, and the eighteen bronze people are arrayed"
"Come again, I'll go, can't I go" You Yishou was about to cry, now it has become the norm for the system to summon eighteen bronze people, and it has been tried and tested every time, You Yishou does not have the slightest power to resist.
After signing the unequal treaty in humiliation, You Yishou can cook first and then enter the 100,000 mountains to reclaim the tea plantation at night.
