Chapter 53
The atmosphere in the kitchen was stern and deadly.
Anyway, the fact that their head pot was slapped in the face in front of customers in public was also sensational, and it was going to spread out, and their whole team couldn't continue to go outside to host a good banquet, and even the signboard of the hotel itself was questioned.
But there's no point in thinking about it now.
For now Paul had walked in with the young man who had robbed them of their first pot, and it seemed that he was ready to cook.
"What do we do now?" The first pot is not asking about the second pot, and the Chinese chefs are asking Hu Jianming, who is back in the team first, with a gloomy face.
"There's nothing to do, it's his business to cook for him, and it's not that he doesn't know which master we are, it's not so unruly, today's banquet is messed up, and no one is allowed to help him! Don't forget that we are backstage people! "In order to take care of the overall situation, Hu Jianming has to be crazy and quiet, and he is very hard to suppress!
But after saying this, he finally let out a sigh of relief, and immediately hugged his chest with both hands, and looked at Yi Baitang with a sneer.
Yi Baitang walked in front of this group of people without squinting, walked around the kitchen without squinting, and asked Paul without squinting: "Have you thought about what ducks you want to do?" ”
kicked out his pig teammates, Paul was finally relaxed, and now he has a conversation with Yi Baitang: "I can think of what ducks to do, isn't this all what you said?" But he pulled people onto the boat, and he couldn't be out of his power at this time, he thought about it for a while, and said, "Isn't there a very famous three-cup duck in Huaiyang cuisine?" Let's try to do that? Three-cup duck is a specialty in Huaiyang cuisine, but the sauce can be cooked with a unique French sauce, what do you think? ”
Yi Baitang's eyelids didn't tease the other party: "I think that when we finish making three cups of duck for ten tables, the sky outside will be dark." ”
Paul's teeth also hurt this time: "Alas, this gourmand is a toss-up, and he didn't have so much to do when he cooked the dishes on the menu......"
Now I think of the dishes on the menu!
Hu Jianming, who was next to him, sneered again when he heard this.
Hum, it's late!
This is the menu carefully prepared by my master's master, one ring after another, can it be changed casually?
Besides, ordinary side dishes are just ordinary side dishes, dishes that can really be served at a banquet, what duck and chicken, what bird's nest and abalone, which one doesn't need to be prepared one or two or two days in advance? Now in twenty minutes to half an hour, what good can you make!
When he finished thinking about it, he heard Paul sigh again, and said, "Actually, it won't take that much time, and those people will help you prepare." ”
Stupid, we don't. Hu Jianming scolded secretly in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, he made up his mind that it was not bad on his face, and he was about to make a false accusation, when he heard Yi Baitang say coldly:
"They won't. It says I want you to die. ”
"......" Hu Jianming and others.
What, why can you be so candid about our badness?
"Alas, you Chinese faces, I really can't distinguish them." Paul looked at Hu Jianming carefully and said regretfully. Then he said, "No matter what kind of dish you are going to make, let's prepare the duck first." Where are the ducks? ”
"Over there." Yi Baitang nodded with his chin to a certain place in the kitchen.
Everyone looked in the direction that Yi Baitang pointed, and saw a row of ten ducks with lost hair and blood being strung on an iron fork, immersed in a liquid refined with various ingredients, and soaked for at least a day and a night to ensure that the taste was in the bones.
After reading it at a glance, two voices sounded in the kitchen at the same time!
"This is good!" Paul said happily.
"How can you use this, this is clearly the drunken duck we are going to do later! What if you take us! Hu Jianming lost his voice.
"They're theirs?" Paul was stunned, "This ......"
Yi Baitang glanced at Hu Jianming.
There was obvious confusion on his face: "Anyway, you all want to see me do things badly, why should I care what happens to you?" What does it have to do with me what happens to you? Well, these ducks have been requisitioned by me. ”
"......" Hu Jianming and others again.
It's so reasonable, it's so frank, it's like ...... I really can't refute it.
Then Hu Jianming finally realized.
Whether Yi Baitang will explain well or not is Yi Baitang's own business, and the key problem now is that even if Yi Baitang confesses, they don't seem to be able to explain it......!
Yi Baitang ignored the group of fools over there and walked directly to the liquid soaked in ducks.
Everyone watched as Yi Baitang took a spoon, punched out the contents of half a spoonful from the liquid, put it to his mouth and tasted it:
"Shaoxing wine, salt, sugar, honey, tangerine peel......" He only tasted one bite, and said most of the pickled base in one go, at this time Yi Baitang turned to Paul and beckoned to the other party.
Just when he saw the duck in the water, he suddenly had a vague inspiration; And after a conversation with Hu Jianming, the original inspiration became clearer and clearer, until it became a creation that was ready to move*!
Anyway, he and I are companions, and we won't be cheated. Paul secretly gave himself a breath before he came to Yi Baitang, and before he could speak, he was fed a spoonful of liquid by Yi Baitang.
"What sauce do you think goes well with this taste?"
Paul tasted it, but he wasn't sure. So he took Yi Baitang's big spoon and tasted it slowly for a while, before he suddenly clapped his hands:
"There it is!"
"Pair it with truffles and white broth!"
"That's all." Yi Baitang said indifferently, without superfluous opinions, "Bring the duck, bring the stove, and then bring your plate and sauce, and we will cook directly on the spot." That's what we're going to do......"
In the banquet hall, the people at the table of the guest of honor had already resumed their previous conversation and laughter.
A few CEOs who surrounded Mr. Patch and wanted to make a big deal and a big investment were very eye-catching, and they began to chat and drink one by one.
Originally, too, the food color is also, and if you don't say something related to food at the dinner table, you're sorry for your appetite!
As long as there is one table of people in a huge banquet, it is inevitable that the other tables will be deserted.
Father Yi is one of the people at this deserted table.
He sat in the corner with a wine glass in his hand, not without boredom in his heart.
He didn't believe that Yi Baitang would be able to make any amazing food later, this eldest son, to be honest, is really annoying, he is a twenty-year-old person, and he doesn't know what he's doing all day long, and he will definitely lose a big face later, but fortunately, others don't know his relationship with him.
But even if others don't know, he himself knows, isn't this face also lost?
Father Yi angrily took a sip of the red wine in the glass.
As a result, the liquid of the red wine was still in his mouth, and there was a lot of movement in front of him, he looked over with the corner of his eye, only to see the chefs in white clothes and high hats coming out of the delivery door again, this time they were not only serving the dishes, but also the raw materials and boilers were brought out together, as for his eldest son who walked in the front, he was carrying a fork of the duck on his shoulder, and the duck followed the pace of the master and swayed and swayed and swayed, which was particularly unusual!
Father Yi took a sip of red wine stuck in his throat, and almost suffocated himself.
Yi Baitang walked all the way in front of Patty.
Patch watched with interest as the kitchen staff Paul brought in quickly set up the boiler and stepped aside, highlighting only the two chefs standing at the banquet table.
On the way out of the kitchen, Yi Baitang had already told Paul all about the duck's practice.
Now Paul is confident, and his brow is full of enthusiasm and pride.
He introduced to the guests at the main table, "The dish we are going to taste later is called roast duck with truffle sauce, please wait a moment." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Yi Baitang, and after getting the other party's nod, he made a gesture to the back, and the valve of the furnace suddenly opened, and the blue flame instantly burst into the boiler.
At this time, Yi Baitang adjusted the position of the duck on his shoulder slightly, moved the duck body from the back of the shoulder to the front of the shoulder, and then picked up a knife from the table.
Everyone had already noticed that this duck looked extraordinary and needed to be carried by the chef.
Originally, there were indeed a few people who secretly laughed in their hearts because of Yi Baitang's actions, and this chef did not pay attention to image.
Unexpectedly, the other party adjusted up and down and then put a knife against the duck, and in a blink of an eye, he put on a violin appearance, and then turned his face to the side, and lowered his head, not to mention, the more he laughed in his heart just now, the more he felt in a trance, almost feeling that he was in the palace of art, and was about to watch the violinist swing the strings.
Everyone: "......"
No, my eyes seem to be a little bad today, do I want to wash my face later......
The sword flashed at this time.
A piece of crystal clear meat flew out of the duck's body, passed through the flames accurately, and landed on the large white plate that Paul had prepared with a spark.
The sword light flashed at this time.
I saw pieces of crystal clear meat flying out of the duck's body one after another, one by one, in a line, obediently flying over the flames and then to the white plate as if they had grown wings.
Paul couldn't help but let out a long whistle as he looked at the precise and wonderful knife work.
Then, without delay, he picked up the thin duck meat from the plate with tweezers, layered it on top of each other, added the piping white stock, put the truffles on it, and finally drew a scrawled duck's head on the other side of the white porcelain plate with a sweet and sour orange sauce, and finally sprinkled a little green chopped with it, and served it to Mr. Patch.
At this time, Yi Baitang, who was standing next to the table, moved his arms, the silver tip of the knife was like an artist's baton, intertwined into a flickering starlight in the eyes of everyone, and when the blurred starlight that was close at hand was still on everyone's retina, Yi Baitang had stopped his movements, and saw that the duck that was still forked on the sharp fork two minutes ago was like peeling skin and bones, leaving only a good duck bone.
The slices of duck meat by the fire had piled up into a small mountain.
Paul kept his hands on it, finishing the duck slices one by one and serving them to every guest at the main table.
Shang Huaiyan is a member of the main position.
The plate was already handed to him, and he quietly forked it with his fork and tasted it.
After the entrance of the east and west, the taste was still there, Shang Huaiyan only felt that his body was naturally shocked at this time, and his eyes flickered, a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right hand, and a majestic duck suddenly appeared in front of him!
