Chapter 380: Keep improving

Although Fu Yonghan has already told Pu Yuan and the others the criteria for choosing lemons, this criterion is placed on each lemon, and for some unfamiliar people, it is sometimes a completely vague concept. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Pu Yuan and Lian Zhiwen stared at the lemons one by one and looked at them for a long time before they picked out such a batch.

If it weren't for the fact that it took too much time to pick lemons, Pu Yuan and Lian Zhiwen would not have come back later than Fu Yonghan, who picked meat and spices.

But they didn't expect that it was the lemon that they had worked so hard to pick out that was even looked down upon by Fu Yonghan!

And the reason why this is not eye-catching is that this lemon is not fresh!

The calm Pu Yuan immediately looked at the two lemons, but Lian Zhiwen was a little angry and said directly: "I said Xiaofu, these lemons were selected by me and Lao Pu one by one, why are they not fresh?" ”

Fu Yonghan looked at Lian Zhiwen helplessly.

It sounds like a layman's question.

It's a shame that they don't have outsiders around them, and they don't have microphones or anything like that. Otherwise, even if Zhiwen's words spread, I don't know how many people will laugh at them.

Picking lemons sounds simple, but in fact, there is really a bit of knowledge in it.

First of all, it is to see how the color of the lemon is. Fresh lemons are generally light yellow in color, bright in color, and full in skin. Under the illumination of the light, the skin of the fruit often appears more beautiful. So when choosing a lemon, it's best to hold it in your hand and avoid those rays that are too bright.

Although the venue of this international food competition is outside, there are many lights above the fruit section. With these lights, if the chef who picks the fruit is not careful, he may choose the wrong thing.

Perhaps, this is also a small test for the participating chefs.

In addition to looking at the color of the lemon, when choosing a lemon, you should also put it under your nose and smell it. Fresh lemons will have a natural lemon flavor, and if the taste is unnatural or unripe, it is obviously not fresh.

After these two steps, there is still a very important hurdle in choosing a lemon.

That is to pinch the lemon with your own hands.

Of course, this pinch does not mean that you have to pinch it with heavy hands, but gently press it on the surface of the lemon and carefully feel the softness of the lemon surface. If the skin of a lemon is too hard, it means that the lemon is not ripe. But if the skin is too soft, it is overripe.

How to choose a lemon with moderate softness is another big test.

The two lemons pointed out by Fu Yonghan didn't even go to the next two steps, and they made a mistake in the selection of the first step.

Obviously, when Pu Yuan and Lian Zhiwen were picking lemons, they were also confused by the lights above the fruit area.

Something went wrong in such a simple place, how could Fu Yonghan not be surprised?

Hearing Fu Yonghan tell him the trick of choosing lemons, Pu Yuan and Lian Zhiwen were so ashamed that they were ashamed.

They've been in the kitchen for decades, and they really didn't know that there were so many rules for picking a few lemons!

Seeing the discomfort on Pu Yuan and Lian Zhiwen's faces, Fu Yonghan reacted.

Also, how many opportunities can they have for Chinese chefs to bring lemons to their dishes? Pu Yuan and Lian Zhiwen don't know this trick, and it is natural that they should be.

"Actually, the lemons picked by the two masters are already very good." Fu Yonghan hurriedly comforted her, "Originally, it was absolutely no problem for these lemons to be used in dishes in normal times. It's just that we're participating in the competition after all, and we can't afford to make any mistakes, so the requirements are inevitably a little higher, and I ask the two masters not to be surprised by my pickiness. ”

Pu Yuan and Lian Zhiwen were even more embarrassed to say this.

"Master Fu is polite." Pu Yuan hurriedly smiled, "We didn't do a good job in this matter, how can we say that Master Fu is picking on thorns?" What are the arrangements for the future, although Master Fu told us to do it, we promise that there will be no more mistakes! ”

Even Zhiwen echoed on the side.

The three of them are not procrastinators, and the time for cooking is limited, so Fu Yonghan really didn't say anything polite to them, and ordered some trivial things.

Therefore, when Fu Yonghan was dealing with mutton, Pu Yuan and Lian Zhiwen's biggest job was to process lemons.

The processing of lemons is actually very simple, it is just juice.

It's just this juicing, but it's not ordinary juicing.

What Fu Yonghan wants is really just the simplest lemon juice.

I don't want anything else.

In other words, the lemon juice she wants can't be mixed with the slightest impurity.

It's not that hard.

But she also demanded that the freshly squeezed lemon juice be as clear as water, even if it looked a little cloudy.

That's a bit of a challenge.

No matter what kind of fruit it is, there will usually be some sediment when the juice comes out. To make it as clear as water...... That's just embarrassing!

Pu Yuan and Lian Zhiwen were also a little puzzled by Fu Yonghan's almost harsh requirements.

However, now that time is limited, it is impossible for them to chase Fu Yonghan to ask the reason, so they can only do so.

The big deal is to filter it a few more times.

It's not that hard for them, it's just a little bit more time.

There are a lot of things that need to be filtered in the kitchen. With a little more patience, you can always get this thing right.

And this one, Fu Yonghan has already processed all the lamb chops.

She cut a total of nine pieces of lamb chops, just enough for each of the nine judges.

These lamb chops are not too big or small to make the judges eat enough, and they can satisfy all the dazzling performance of this dish, which has taken all aspects into account.

In fact, the most important thing is that the size of the lamb chops is relatively small, and Fu Yonghan's workload can also be reduced a lot, and it can also make the mutton taste in a shorter time, which is more time-saving.

Fu Yonghan marinated the cut mutton piece by piece with seasonings, and put it aside for the time being.

Since it is a barbecue, it is natural that all kinds of spices are indispensable.

There are not many seasonings used in Western-style barbecue, and most of them use whatever the flavor is. Like black pepper, like red wine juice.

These spices are used separately and are absolutely impossible to mix together.

But Chinese barbecue is different.

What cumin powder, pepper powder, pepper powder, chili powder, as well as minced coriander, minced shallots, etc., there are so many types that it can almost make people dazzled.

In the eyes of Westerners, sprinkling so many things on top of the meat is completely destroying the texture of the meat itself. (To be continued.) )
