"Boiling cabbage?" Guan Shouping looked confused. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The soup pot is indeed pure water with a few cabbage hearts soaked in it, and it is indeed boiling water cabbage, but unlike others, Guan Shouping quickly discovered that the liquid like clear water was not clear water, but soup!

"I see, is the mystery in this soup?" Guan Shouping didn't move the chopsticks directly, but asked, which is also the attitude that should be taken when facing an unclear dish.

Tian Zhongqiu nodded, but still covered his nose and mouth with a handkerchief and said: "Well, there was once a Japanese guest who was attending a banquet, because he felt that this dish was only a few cabbages in the dream of clear water, so he thought that it must be bland and tasteless, and he was reluctant to use chopsticks. ”

"Oh, so there's still this story." Guan Shouping nodded, this is a dish with a story, add one more point.

This is the case in ancient and modern China and abroad, and the dishes with stories are more famous and the better the price.

Come, tell your story, and I'll turn around for you!

It can be said that Tian Zhongqiu has already qualified before eating.

After the forced grid was full, Guan Shouping still did not move the chopsticks, but moved the spoon to scoop a spoonful of clear soup, and tasted the dish according to the woman's method in the story.

Taking a sip of clear soup, Guan Shou calmly savored the taste of this dish.

The first thing you feel is umami, and the second is the thick but not greasy dashi, which is made from ingredients such as ducks, hens, and seafood.

If it is according to the scoring standard of Yuanyue Academy, Guan Shouping can only give this dish a B-grade score, because both the cooking time and adjustment of the soup and the selection of ingredients are defective.

The key to this dish is the soup, and there are definitely areas on the cabbage that need to be processed, but not as important as the soup.

"You two are qualified, but there is still a lot to be improved on this dish." Guan Shouping gave a qualified evaluation, this soup tastes okay, but Guan Shouping can't feel the traces of a senior chef from Tian Zhongqiu's dishes.

Hearing Guan Shouping say this, Tian Zhongqiu felt that it was necessary to maintain the reputation of Zhonghua Building, after all, in the future, he would still have to rely on Zhonghua Building, a money-making machine that makes money every day.

"Because of the time, I didn't bring out the true taste of this dish, and neither the ingredients nor the production process were fully revealed."

"This dish belongs to the Chinese court cuisine, and the Chinese court cuisine is much more noble than the high-end cuisine you know. In any society, the ideology of the ruling class is the dominant ideology, as the ruling class, the feudal emperor not only imposed his ideology on his subjects to show his supremacy, but also set his daily life and behavior out of the ordinary to show his absolute authority. In this way, as a dietary behavior, it is all permeated with the thoughts and consciousness of the ruler, showing his cultivation and hobbies, and in this way, a court diet with unique characteristics is formed. ”

"First of all, the palace diet is characterized by strict selection of ingredients and strict use of ingredients. Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers, and the infinite expansion of the emperor's power has brought together the world's highly skilled chefs, and also has all the rare raw materials in the world. For example, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court had a detailed and cumbersome special person responsible for the emperor's diet, and the main items in the "Commentary on the Zhou Rites: Tianguan Tomb Zai" include "Chef, Cook, Wai Yan, Heng Ren, Dianshi, Orc, Fisherman, Wax Man, Food Doctor, Disease Doctor, Ulcer Doctor, Wine Zheng, Wine Man, Ling Ren, Zhu Ren, Liquor Man, Salt Man" and other entries, which are now divided into the scope of duties. With so many full-time staff, it can be imagined that the selection of food materials and materials at that time was strict. ”

"Not only is the selection of materials strict, but also the materials are used and the cooking is fine. The political power that dominated the world provided the ruler with the possibility of enjoying a variety of precious foods, and also required the court to be as meticulous as possible in cooking; The monotonous and boring court life made most of the emperors of the past dynasties relatively frail, which required them to be more refined in the processing and production of food. ”

"Soup is the most important part of it. I admit that many modern dishes are better than ancient ones, but among the top dishes, modern cuisine is not as good as the top dishes of ancient times, and the food culture has been improved in terms of technology and variety with the progress of the times, as for the ingredients and some cooking skills, there is not much progress, and even because of convenience and time constraints, a lot of cooking skills have been omitted, and many cooking skills have disappeared for various reasons, and the most important thing is that there are not so many rulers who can mobilize all kinds of ingredients. For example, the protection of animals. ”

"In ancient times, ordinary people and nobles did not eat well, and the rulers naturally had the best food, before the Ming Dynasty, chili peppers and other spices did not enter China, but before that, before the first emperor, at that time Chinese cuisine was born, at that time because of the relationship between kitchenware and spices, it was difficult to make such a delicious dish now, but they made soup! There is no need to add seasonings, and the ingredients are very strict with the soup! The perfect soup is made with a variety of precious ingredients and herbs! ”

"In the court of ancient rulers, cooks had to adjust the broth, and it had to be old soup, and Abbe used the traditional seasoning, and all dishes did not put MSG and chicken essence and other seasonings. In Abbe's words, cooking brings happiness to people, and cooking that relies on seasonings to enhance deliciousness is rubbish! ”

"There are things that modern times can't compare to, and for most ordinary people, it's true that modern times eat better than ancient times, there is no doubt about it. There are also ancient and modern dishes that cannot be compared, because there are indeed some dishes that rely on craftsmanship and materials, and some cherished materials cannot be eaten now. ”

"I can't cook because of the material, not mine." Tian Zhongqiu talked for a long time, and then told the truth.

Guan Shouping took another sip and found that there was indeed no problem with the heat, but some questions were not easy to ask in detail, the other party's recipe was not an ordinary recipe, it belonged to the secret recipe of Zhonghua Building, so it was not easy to ask about some details.

"Well, I know that there is an emperor in China called Tang, and I am looking forward to one day being able to eat real Chinese food."

Guan Shouping was bluffed by Tian Zhongqiu, in fact, not only Guan Shouping, but also Erina Pheasant and the classmates in the class were all frightened by Tian Zhongqiu.

Since it is a palace cuisine, it is naturally very demanding, and it should not be made in such a broken place.

Anyway, no matter whether the food made by Tian Zhongqiu is delicious or not, he can find a reason to talk nonsense.
