Chapter Seventy-Two: Boiling Water Cabbage

There are a total of ten people including You Yishou, and the restaurant they represent will also be the top ten restaurants in 2010, and the next strong showdown is the core attraction of this competition, which is that the competition has a winner or loser, and everyone wants to compete for the first place, because fame and honor are also the signature of a restaurant, which is why many restaurants want to be associated with Michelin restaurants.

"The finals have officially begun, and players can play freely. ”

"Drop, congratulations to the host for entering the finals, and the system will reward the royal boiling water cabbage. ”

You rolled his eyes with one hand, why don't you give me a piece of tofu and kill me.

According to legend, boiling water cabbage was created by Huang Jinglin, a famous chef of Sichuan cuisine who was appreciated by Cixi, in the imperial dining room of the Qing Palace, when Huang Jinglin was a chef, many people derogated Sichuan cuisine "only spicy, vulgar and rustic", in order to break the rumors and prove it, he meditated for a long time and tried a hundred times, and finally created the best dish of "boiling water cabbage" for a long time, and returned the extreme complexity and minimalism to the transformation realm, and swept away the grievances of Sichuan cuisine accumulated for a hundred years.

Boiling water, in fact, is the clearest chicken soup, this soup should be mixed into the boiling pot with Bazhen chicken, Ling Duck, Tianxiang Ling pig ham and trotters, pork ribs, scallops and other ingredients respectively, add cooking wine, onion and garlic and other condiments, and then chop the chicken breast meat to the puree, pour it into the pot and stir it into a pulp, pour it into the pot to absorb impurities, and after repeated adsorption two or three times, the chicken soup in the pot that was originally slightly turbid is as clear and clear as boiling water at this moment, the fragrance is thick and mellow, not greasy, refreshing and refreshing.

And the cabbage selection is the vegetable garden will be ripe and not through the "Tianxin cabbage", the selection of the yellow tender heart, slightly blanched with water to cool down, after the vegetable fishy and then with the "boiling water" shape chicken soup poured until blanched, the finished vegetable at first glance to see the soup is not watery, the oil star is nothing, but the smell is fragrant, eat in the mouth fresh and soft, since it is better than that ten thousand delicacies.

This dish, made of selected cabbage heart and boiled clear soup, seems to be unpretentious, but shows the soup making kung fu, after the dish, the soup is mellow and elegant, clear to the bottom, the color of the dish is tender and green, the form is perfect, the smell of the fragrance is fragrant, the food is soft and tender, the fresh fragrance is abnormal, this dish in addition to the use of Bazhen chicken, spirit duck, etc., especially the hand also added the mountain Bazhen and a variety of natural plant spices, absolutely delicious.

Just when everyone was looking forward to You Yishou being able to make a top-notch delicacy again, who would have thought that he would actually take out a few cabbages, what the hell is this?

"You don't want to make boiled cabbage in the finals, do you?"

"Hmph, I think it's because the donkey is poor. ”

"Young people don't know how thick the sky is when they learn a few dishes"

"Cabbage is the most difficult ingredient to eat, and few chefs choose it"

"It seems that this year's champion still belongs to Red Apricot Restaurant"

……

Even Han Yufei on the side began to worry, it was obvious that it was difficult for a boiled cabbage to win the championship on such an occasion.

But for some knowledgeable people, when they saw You Yishou take out the verdant cabbage, they instantly thought of the legendary imperial meal.

"Oh my God, he's not going to make that boiling cabbage, right?" said Mai Ling, president of the Food Association, in shock.

Guo Wenjing also widened his eyes and muttered, "It's very likely." ”

"That boiling cabbage dish of Mr. Luo Guorong, the master of Sichuan cuisine?" said Lu Jun, the principal of the culinary college, in surprise.

"The current boiling water cabbage is all improved, and there are many people who can make it, but I don't know what kind of taste this young man will taste like when he makes it. Sichuan cuisine master Peng Ziyu said.

After 90 minutes, the competition ended, and all the dishes were sent to the judges' table, especially when the clear boiling water cabbage was presented, and several judges began to taste it immediately, and the other dishes could no longer arouse their interest.

After Mai Ling, the president of the Food Association, tasted it, her expression was full of surprise, and she couldn't speak when she stared at her.

After tasting it, Peng Ziyu, a master of Sichuan cuisine, trembled with excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "This is the best boiled cabbage I have ever tasted." ”

After Guo Wenjing tasted it, he directly ate all the soup and dishes without extra words.

Lu Jun, the principal of the cooking school, said even more movingly: "Absolutely everyone's work, no, I want to ask him to teach our students." ”

……

In the end, You Yishou won the championship of this exchange competition with a "boiling cabbage", this competition not only made him stand out in the Chengdu catering industry, but also made Huanhua Villa among the top ten restaurants in Rongcheng, after the competition, You Yishou received business cards from many catering people, a good chef is too important for a restaurant, and it is normal for the industry to dig each other, but You Yishou may let them down, because his heart does not belong here.

It was already afternoon when I returned to the restaurant, and the restaurant was not open at noon, because as soon as You Yishou left, the restaurant could only be paralyzed, and there was no way for customers to only eat the dishes he cooked.

The restaurant is open normally at night, and now the Huanhua Courtyard is full every day, which is still without any publicity, it all depends on the word of mouth of the guests, because Han Yufei will close the restaurant after You Yishou leaves, so he will not consider the expansion, so that the guests will not only increase unabated, but also make the restaurant more popular, after all, rare things are expensive, and good things are of course the less the better.

At around 7 p.m., Momoko, the restaurant's resident singer, began her regular performance every night.

I once loved such a man

He said I was the most beautiful woman in the world

I kept that innocence for him

Close the door to love others

It's also this man who I love so much

Turn me into the dumbest woman in the world

I take everything he says seriously

He said he loved my lips the most

I'm not very demanding

Treat me as well as ever

But one day you said the same thing

Embrace others in your arms

……

A song by Poplar Forest's "Perfume is Poisonous" made the whole restaurant fall into sadness, this song seems to be really poisonous, as soon as it comes out, it will be popular all over the country, and the streets and alleys are playing, especially Yishou likes to listen to music and cook, which can make his mood more peaceful.

"Drop, the host's state of mind is stable, the ecstasy palm is sublimated, and the ban on the "Soul Food" chapter of the ancient Shaolin kitchen recipe has been lifted. ”

"Soul food, it won't be chicken soup for the soul, right?" You asked suspiciously.

"Food is the ultimate sustenance of human feelings, and the encounter of all food in the world is also a long-term reunion with the world, with oneself, and with all things around us. The housekeeper Ni Mei said.

"I don't understand. ”

"Spiritual food is all-encompassing, if you have a story, it will have food, and the dishes related to drama, literature, sculpture and other dishes made by the host before belong to spiritual food. ”

"Any theme can be made into a dish, isn't this a theme restaurant?" You Yishou suddenly thought of the theme restaurants that have become popular in recent years.

"There are similarities, but food for the soul can touch the feelings of diners even more. ”

"Okay!"
