Chapter 207: Cordyceps Bamboo Shoots Old Duck Soup
“…… How do I think that although the koi fish posted by the two of them are also very good-looking, compared to what you posted, it is less vivid? Ji Xiulang looked at the three colors of glutinous rice fish, and said with some uncertainty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But it's just a fish pinched out of glutinous rice, and the person who pinched it is still the same, but the person in the last step has a division of labor, why is there such a big difference?
Fu Yonghan laughed.
What she is best at is making the food look like it's real.
It's a kind of heritage that has accumulated over time, it can't be explained, it's not so easy to do, it's not something that anyone can teach or do easily.
"If they can do it so easily like me, what else am I qualified to be their master?" Fu Yonghan didn't answer directly, but just said this with a smile.
Ji Xiulang smiled knowingly as if he understood.
Although the koi fish posted by Zhang Hai and the others are a little less vivid than those posted by Fu Yonghan, they are also very good. As far as the static state is concerned, it is almost impossible to distinguish between superior and inferior, and it is not much different from the real fish.
The game between the two brothers did not distinguish any winners and losers.
But it's also quite normal.
After all, it's just a matter of sticking black sesame seeds and red dates on the glutinous rice fish, and it's not simpler. If this can be done badly, then there is really no need to stay in the back kitchen of Yongji Restaurant.
These black sesame seeds and red dates were carefully selected by Zhang Hai and Yu Kangning, and each one was very full and beautiful. Otherwise, the posted koi wouldn't be so good-looking.
After Zhang Hai and Yu Kangning had made all the koi rice cakes, Fu Yonghan personally moved out the large steamer with a height of one person, and took two apprentices to put the koi rice cakes with three different colors into the big steamer and prepared to put them on the stove.
If it is some simple rice cakes, as long as there is a mold, there is no need to knead it by hand at all, and the prepared glutinous rice dough can be kneaded directly into the mold, which will save a lot of trouble.
The resulting rice cakes are not only beautiful, but also very time-saving. In ancient times, many wealthy families did this.
At the beginning, in the imperial dining room of the Dayong Dynasty, there were countless molds for making pastries, and there were all kinds of patterns, and some were even so exquisite that they were breathtaking. There is a special space in the storeroom of the imperial dining room, which is used to put these molds.
There are many masters in the imperial dining room who like to use these beautiful and delicate molds, but Fu Yonghan rarely uses them.
The main reason is that the pastries she makes are more complex and three-dimensional, and it is difficult to achieve this effect with a mold, so she can only knead it manually.
Fortunately, there are not many opportunities for Fu Yonghan to do it herself in the imperial dining room, and there are even fewer people who can move her, so making pastries is not too much trouble for her.
After steaming the rice cakes, the rice that Fu Yonghan had soaked before was almost time.
It's been half a day.
Although the rice has been soaked, it cannot be steamed directly in the stove, and it must be washed several times. After washing, the rice has to be boiled. Wait until it is boiled until it is ready to be steamed.
This process also takes a long time.
Otherwise, Fu Yonghan wouldn't have had to make this rice a day in advance.
Put the washed fragrant rice into the pot and boil, Fu Yonghan handed over the next thing to his two apprentices.
For the sake of this pot of rice, the two of them didn't even have to do anything else.
And the next dish that Fu Yonghan plans to make is dumplings of various flavors.
Before making dumplings, she went to see the cordyceps, bamboo shoots, and duck soup that she had boiled with her two apprentices last night.
said it was last night, but in fact, the time when this soup was really boiled was already dawn.
Fu Yonghan also went home to freshen up, and didn't even rest much, so he rushed to the store again.
Anyway, when she was in the imperial dining room, she was used to this kind of overtime and cooking days, so this kind of overnight cooking is really nothing to her.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve menu of Yongji Restaurant, chicken, duck and fish are the main dishes, but there will also be vegetarian dishes. If you eat too much greasy things, you naturally need something that can relieve greasyness.
Cordyceps bamboo shoots and duck soup is a particularly suitable delicacy.
Usually at home, this soup is also suitable as a home-cooked dish.
To make this dish, the first thing to do is to slaughter the duck first. The ducks used by Fu Yonghan this time are all native ducks purchased through Yahuang's channels, and the taste is completely different from the feed ducks, which is the best guarantee for the perfect taste of this soup.
Fu Yonghan planned to stew hundreds of ducks in different pots.
And these hundreds of ducks were all slaughtered by Fu Yonghan himself.
Last night, after everyone in Yongji Restaurant got off work, Fu Yonghan made a phone call, and Yahuang's people sent these hundreds of local ducks over. For this reason, the person in charge of the Ming Ji Shopping Mall, under the instruction of Ji Xiulang, also specially gave Fu Yonghan convenience, and did not close the door all night, just so that Fu Yonghan could do his own things as he wanted.
The main reason is that the number of ducks in this batch is too much, and the territory of Wing Kee Restaurant is too small if it is placed on the territory of Wing Kee Restaurant. If these ducks were sent over in broad daylight, not to mention the sensation it would cause in the Ming Ji shopping mall, there would be no such big place to put them in the Yongji Restaurant alone.
Only when there was no one in the middle of the night could Fu Yonghan free up his hands to arrange so many ducks.
Watching Fu Yonghan quickly bleed every duck with a knife in his hand, Zhang Hai and Yu Kangning were dumbfounded for a while.
Fu Yonghan assigned them the task of plucking these ducks.
Plucking hundreds of ducks is not an easy task. Especially, there are only two of them!
Watching one after another slaughtered ducks put into a bucket of boiling water, Zhang Hai and the others almost wanted to cry without tears.
This kind of work can be arranged for other people to do, so why do you have to do it yourself?!
How did they come to such a master, they like to do everything by themselves, and they are equally keen to train their two apprentices to be like this!
It's really tiring!
Zhang Hai, who had never suffered this kind of hardship, really had a feeling of being unbearable when they received such training at the beginning.
But later, they seem to have slowly gotten used to their fate, and they no longer feel that there is anything wrong with handling every ingredient by themselves. (To be continued.) )
