Chapter 150: Aftertaste
The white chopped chicken made in this way has a white meat color and a belt of butter, and the color alone looks like a pleasure. Moreover, this simple method maintains the original fat and tenderness of the chicken to the greatest extent, so that people who eat it can enjoy the original flavor of it, and only care about the aftertaste of the skin, meat, smoothness and light deliciousness.
Coupled with the ingredients prepared by Master Hong Gong himself, it is simply the icing on the cake, and it makes people taste a completely different delicacy.
When Fu Yonghan saw the first dish of winter melon and ham soup, he couldn't help but praise Master Honggong in his heart.
Although she has been working in the imperial dining room for decades, in fact, what she dislikes the most is those complex dishes made with expensive and scarce ingredients, but she appreciates this simple but skillful dish even more.
This dish on Hong Gong obviously won Fu Yonghan's heart.
Of course, she also recognized Zhang Hai who delivered the food at a glance, although she was a little surprised that it was not a specialized waiter who served the food, but when she thought about it, she rarely used a waiter when cooking in the Yahuang Hotel, so she didn't think it was strange.
Ji Xiulang guessed a few points, and said with a smile: "Zhang Hai, I haven't seen you for many days, how have you been doing in the back kitchen recently?" ”
There are a lot of people in the back kitchen of Yahuang Hotel, and there are only a few people who can be qualified to let Ji Xiulang remember his name. And Zhang Hai, as a newcomer to Queen Ya's kitchen, can let Ji Xiulang talk to him so peacefully, which is rare!
If this is not for Fu Yonghan's light, Zhang Hai himself will not believe it.
Zhang Hai thought that Fu Yonghan might remember him, but what he didn't expect was that the person who spoke to him first would be Ji Xiulang!
For a while, Zhang Hai was grateful to Ji Xiulang in his heart.
"Thank you for your concern, I did a good job in the back kitchen." Zhang Hai said respectfully, "Especially after doing a lot of things with Miss Fu, I have made great progress in my cooking skills, which is also the biggest reason why I can turn into a regular in the back kitchen." ”
Seeing that Zhang Hai was not arrogant or impatient, Ji Xiulang nodded with satisfaction.
Fu Yonghan was also quite satisfied with Zhang Hai's kung fu during the period when he gave him, and said: "You have made great progress, it is because you are willing to work hard, and it has nothing to do with me." Keep up the good work, and I'm optimistic about your future in cooking. ”
I didn't expect to get such a high evaluation from Fu Yonghan!
Zhang Hai was simply flattered, and wanted to say a few more words, but he was afraid that he would lose his senses. After hesitating for a while in his heart, Zhang Hai still retreated honestly.
After he left, Ji Xiulang said jokingly: "I see that this Zhang Haidu is about to become your little fan, so I almost didn't directly ask you for apprenticeship!" ”
Ji Xiulang's words are really not nonsense.
The main thing is that Zhang Hai was excited when he saw Fu Yonghan, and he really couldn't hide it from a few shrewd people.
Fu Yonghan didn't pay attention to this, but she hadn't thought about accepting apprentices at all now.
"Apprenticeship and apprenticeship depend on fate, and when the time comes, it will naturally be accepted." Fu Yonghan's mind was already on the winter melon and ham soup in front of him, "You, in the face of food, are you still in the mood to think about something else." I'll drink up this soup later, don't blame me for not giving you any leftovers!" ”
As he spoke, Fu Yonghan had already taken a small bowl and began to scoop the soup and drink it.
With her eyes, she could naturally see how different this soup was from what she saw in ordinary days.
Hong Gong said that he cooked himself, but it was definitely not just talking. With this bowl of soup, Fu Yonghan can be sure that in the back kitchen of the entire Yahuang Hotel, except for Hong Gong himself, no one else can cook such a proper thing!
Ji Xiulang was negligent, and even let Fu Yonghan start first, and was suddenly startled, where could he still care about gossiping with Fu Yonghan, and he hurriedly took a small bowl in his hand.
He can't eat this Honggong craftsmanship every time, especially today's dishes that look like a thought, so he can't miss it!
A bowl of soup was served, and the expressions of both of them were a little satisfied.
It's been a long time since I've had such a heart-warming soup!
While reminiscing, Zhang Hai brought two more plates of white-cut chicken and two bowls of rice.
White-cut chicken for rice is perfect for rice.
Fu Yonghan is used to eating good things, and although today's meal is the best meal she has ever eaten in modern times and made by others, she still eats with good manners. Ji Xiulang has eaten a lot of good things, and he has the demeanor of a son in his bones, so he has no gaffes in eating.
The two looked up at each other after eating and laughed tacitly.
Soon, the third course was served.
It is braised beef brisket.
The brisket is not difficult, you only need to clean the brisket, cut it into pieces, put ginger and garlic and stir-fry it until the brisket is slightly charred and dry, then add some cooking wine and sauce, with the secret ingredients that the chefs have prepared privately, and stew the brisket in a casserole until the juice is collected, the taste is simply crazy!
Fu Yonghan sandwiched a piece of beef brisket in his mouth, the beef brisket was stewed to be fat but not greasy, and there was some burnt aroma on the surface, which was glutinous and soft in the mouth, and almost all the benefits of the brisket were stimulated.
In particular, the salty and fragrant soup wrapped in the beef brisket is delicious. If you pour this soup directly over the rice and eat it together, it will be even more amazing!
After that, the two plates of vegetarian dishes served on the table just neutralized the oiliness of a few meat dishes, which made people appetize.
Fu Yonghan rarely finished eating a bowl of rice outside, and Ji Xiulang was even more amazing, with the soup of the brisket, he ate two large bowls of rice!
By the time Hong Gong came up again, the two of them had already eaten about the same.
"Master Hong, your cooking is so delicious! We couldn't help but wait for you, have you eaten? Ji Xiulang hurriedly took the initiative to stand up and said.
Hong Gong laughed: "If you can eat happily, it means that my craft has not regressed, which is a good thing." Besides, I invited you to dinner, and I didn't say that you should wait for me, and you were right that you didn't wait for me. The kitchen is busy right now, so I'm just going to take a look at it and see if you're having your heart's work, and I'll have to go back in a moment. ”
Although Ji Xiulang respected Hong Gong very much, Hong Gong was not so proud that he forgot his identity. He is the head chef of Yahuang Hotel, and Yi Qiē should naturally be the main chef of the hotel.
Fu Yonghan also got up and said with a smile: "Thank you Master Hong for your hospitality today." Chef Hung is a superb cook, and I can be regarded as an expert today. Especially the braised beef brisket, the secret ingredients in it are very unique, and the proportions are excellent. Without more than ten years of hard work, he can't do the ability of Master Hong. ”
She is sincerely praising Hong Gong.
There is still a certain difference between Hong Gong's cooking techniques and the habits that Fu Yonghan developed in the imperial dining room, but this does not affect Hong Gong to become a veritable chef. (To be continued.) )
