Chapter 147: The Feast
Lu Ying was thin-skinned in the end, and she had some small bumps with Nianfu before, and she was embarrassed to say that the tofu flowers she made were not suitable for Ping Guogong's appetite, so she wanted to come to her.
Yu Sansheng saw that his apprentice was embarrassed, and then said, "It's not that we want to eat, it's that there is a noble person who wants to eat." But the imperial dining room can't make that taste, Sister Mu, can I ask you a favor? ”
He saw with his own eyes that Nianfu and Ruian had a conflict in the palace, so it was not good to mention the name of Ping Guogong.
Nianfu said briskly, "It's no problem to help, but Master Yu, don't take me to the nobleman's house again." I don't agree with the eight characters there, and I don't know what trouble to cause when I go. If you don't dislike it, I'll make a bucket of tofu flowers for you when I'm free tomorrow. ”
Yu Sansheng was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and rolled up his sleeves without ambiguity, and took Lu Ying to work. Their cooking skills are not achieved overnight, and they are not afraid of being learned, so they do not hide their work, and they can also see the real imperial kitchen skills with Nian Fu.
Yu Sansheng is going to make his best dish today, called duck cake, which is a bit like the famous Peking duck in later generations. It's just that this duck is not roasted, but more like the method of shredded pork in Kyoto sauce.
After frying the duck, then make the sauce, and blanch the noodles with boiling water, dry and burn them into a thin golden dough cake on both sides, put it on the steamer and steam it for a while before eating, and then wrap the duck meat full of sauce with a soft and hot dough cake, bite down, the sauce is rich, salty and fragrant, and it is really delicious.
However, Nianfu felt that the duck was still a little too fatty, especially the duck skin, which lacked the roasting process. I always felt that the skin was a little fatty. Not as good as Peking duck, crispy and thin, with a unique flavor.
"Sister Mu, what's wrong with you eating?" was in a trance, but Lu Ying was careful and saw the regret in her eyes.
Yu Sansheng immediately said, "If there's anything wrong, just say it, don't hide it just because I'm old." Don't look at Master Yu's age, but his belly is not small. ”
The young apprentices who helped the kitchen in a room were all shocked when they heard this, who is Master Yu? That's the chef in charge of the Imperial Dining Room. The Imperial Chef of Imperial Kitchens! Even if some people know that Dao Nianfu will grill a few shrimp. But how old can she be? Master Yu is so humble, not to mention anything else, this bearing alone is impressive.
Nianfu also admired it, so he said bluntly unceremoniously. "Master Yu. Your duck sauce is already top-notch. But it's still too fat. If you try to hang it up and roast it with fruit wood, will it taste even better? ”
Lu Ying said, "The roasting master has also tried it." It's just that the effect is not very good, the meat is easy to dry, and it is not so tender and delicious to eat. ”
Nian Fu glanced at her, "The roasting I am talking about is not an ordinary roasting, it is necessary to make a special stove, make a fire underneath, make an iron frame on top, make a small mouth for the duck, take out the internal organs, soak the raw materials, and hang it to roast." There are two baking methods, one is not to close the door of the stove, turn it at any time, called hanging oven stewing. One is to close the door of the furnace and use the residual temperature of the burned fruit wood to bake in the oven. The skin of the former will be particularly crispy, and the meat of the latter will be particularly tender, as noisy as a freshly steamed steamed bun. ”
Not to mention Lu Ying and Yu Sansheng, even Song Siyuan and Sun Baixi, who was working in the white case next door, listened to it.
This Sister Mu said two methods with one mouth, all of which they had never heard of or seen. But these kitchen veterans take a closer look, and they all seem to make sense.
Sun Baixi was more experienced in making pasta, baked more things, and asked after thinking about it, "Sister Mu, although the two methods you said have some truth, they are very particular about using fire, right?" I know that the Hu people from the West Market of Lu Dao have a kind of oven baking, that is, the pasta is pasted on the hot furnace wall for baking, but if the method is not mastered well, it will either be sandwiched or pasted, what is the importance of a stove like yours? ”
Of course. There is a way to put bricks on the stove for making roast duck, but she can't remember it for a while.
"I don't know the specifics, but I've just heard someone say it, so you have to study it yourself."
If this were not the case, Nian Fu would not have generously said these two baking methods in front of everyone. Just tell Yu Sansheng, how much personal affection does that have to be?
But that's enough. For a master like Yu Sansheng, as long as he listens to a rough idea and has an idea, he can always slowly figure out the rest.
So, I don't have to say, let's add another dish of his specialty to Nian Fu.
So, although Tan was at home, in addition to this duck cake, he also received an extra phoenix fetus. This dish is actually pork belly and chicken, but if you make the level of Yu Sansheng, it is not an easy task.
Hearing that this was made by the imperial kitchen, Tan was shocked fiercely, and Ouyang Jin regretted it even more so that his intestines were blue. Even Aunt Wu began to count Ouyang Lian, "You too, why don't you know how to have a good relationship with your eldest brother?" If I invited you to this time, how decent would it be? ”
But what's the use of regretting it now? Can it be like breaking into Qingyun Tower? Ouyang Lian only looked forward to being able to go to the main table to eat two bites and taste what the emperor's cooking was like. But Ouyang Jin and the Tan family obviously had no such plans, except for leaving them to eat by themselves, and the Tan family packed up and sent them back to their parents' house to show off.
Imperial kitchen skills, even if the stepson always comes, it is also a decent gift for her!
In Lirenfang, when the Ouyang family's banquet came up, the guests were all well-informed people, and they were also shocked.
What kind of dish is that chicken poking out of the belly? What is the golden dough next to the sauce-flavored duck for? There are also bright red curled prawns, fish like squirrel tails, crabs steamed in small baskets, and six-petal plum-shaped pastries......
Some of these people have seen it, and some of these people have not seen it. If you have seen it, you will know that these are all dishes from several famous restaurants in Beijing, why did they all come to one?
The eight cold dishes that Nianfu mainly served before were already delicious, especially the spicy crystal phoenix feet and braised tofu, which had already been sold out. Now with such a large table of dazzling dishes, people can't stand it when they see it!
As the master's master, Su Cheng was extremely proud.
I felt that the second most correct thing I had done in my life was to start quickly, and I kidnapped Ouyang Kang back to be a student, and by the way, I was kidnapped to the little chef of Sister Mu'er.
Seeing that the guests in this big room, because they didn't speak, no one could move the chopsticks, Su Cheng was even more embarrassed. Want to eat? Hehe, it's not that easy!
As Ouyang Kang present, the only righteous elder, Su Cheng stood up and elegantly raised his wine glass, "Thank you for coming to my student's home today, as a teacher, I have to say a few words." ”
Hearing this, everyone frowned, what the hell is this guy going to do?
Su Cheng pretended to be a fairy there, "Everyone has also seen that Ah Kang is young and still a student, but it is not easy to support such a big family business." As a teacher, I tried to help him several times, but he repeatedly refused. ”
Is there such a thing? How do I not know the way? Ouyang Dashao looked at his master with an embarrassed expression, opening his eyes and talking nonsense.
"Especially in order to prepare for today's banquet, Ah Kang is searching the house and scraping the stove, and he can't wait to empty out all the money of the idea. Sister Mu knows this best, I don't believe you asked her, even the tofu at this banquet was ground by her own hands. ”
No matter how thick-skinned Nianfu is, he can't help but blush, Su Cheng's meaning couldn't be clearer, he is asking for gifts and benefits in Hongguoguo. But when everyone came to the banquet, none of them were empty-handed. Especially the group of fox friends and dog friends who Guan Yaozu beckoned, he was forced to give a lot of gold and silver treasures, and now he wants everyone to give gifts, is it a bit too much?
Su Cheng suddenly changed his words, and his righteous words became strict, "The friendship of friends is important in sincerity." All of you who can come here today are all senior friends of Sister Akang Mu'er, and you can't overstate how warm you are. If you think about how to reciprocate because of this, it is not a way of hospitality. So, Akon! ”
Mr. Su, who was like a fairy, turned around and patted his student on the shoulder as if he was in the clouds, "The teacher will make a decision for you, and return all the gifts sent by everyone." ”
Nianfu's eyes widened, so many gifts have been returned, wouldn't it be a big loss?
Mr. Su's power is here, and he turned around again, "If you really have the heart, you might as well help me, a student, repair this broken garden." It looks like the New Year is coming, and it's really not like it's messy. You don't need to spend too much, just invite some people to come, roughly repair a few places, and have a few places to meet people. Not...... The east side of the back will be handed over to the teacher's table. ”
With a wave of Su Shenxian's arrogant hand, Nianfu suddenly didn't feel a loss, and he still felt like he had fallen into a pie in the world, and he just hit himself. Compared to repairing the broken garden in the east, what is a little gift money?
But is Su Cheng's relationship mortal? Suddenly someone protested, "I don't have any money, and I don't have any manpower!" Surnamed Su, why are you so unkind? I thought you were really kind enough to invite us to drink, but it turned out that you asked us to slaughter your apprentice as a fat sheep. Don't do it, resolutely don't do it! ”
Ouyang Dashao's face couldn't hold back, Nianfu lowered his head and pretended not to hear.
Su Shenxian was not half embarrassed, looked at the friend who was shouting loudly on his lips, but did not move half a point on his buttocks, and said confidently, "Everyone in the world knows that I am a broken sleeve, and I don't have a son, it is rare to accept an apprentice, if I don't treat him better, who will give me a pension in the future?" I'm going to leave it here, and if you can't think of money or effort, you can. Whoever can drink me and my Xiao Du down today, then forget it. ”
Someone protested again, "Su Cheng, aren't you clearly bullying people by saying this?" Forget it, your little Du is a family heirloom of a thousand cups of not drunk, who can do him? It's not fair! ”
"Be fair to go to other people's houses, I don't have this thing at home anyway. When you enter my door, you have to obey my rules! ”
(Well, recently some readers complained about Fu Dad, Guizi carefully sorted out the plot again, and found that to explain this problem clearly, there may be some chapters, if you feel aggrieved, you can save up and watch again...... Another weak question, why does everyone think that Fu Dad has lived a good life in the more than ten years since he left Fu Ma? (To be continued......)
