Chapter 63: The Court Eggplant
Because of the description of eggplant in the Dream of Red Mansions, Ye Chui has seen many people trying to restore this delicacy in the middle of the previous life, according to the steps said by Sister Feng, the dish is indeed made, and the taste is absolutely good, but people who are really picky and understanding of food understand that such a taste cannot be included in the royal taste level of the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets, that must be missing something.
But what's missing? It also took a lot of time for Ye Chui to really understand the mystery of this.
The dish needed a "finishing touch" that would be the most important thing, and it would take at least seven days to complete.
In the afternoon, Ye Chui took Han Yuyan to the nearby vegetable market and began to purchase ingredients for this dish, in addition to eggplant and chicken, the other two most important things are mushrooms and dried fruits, these two ingredients are the most important to ensure the deliciousness of this dish.
As for what kind of mushrooms and dried fruits to choose to mix the best deliciousness, Sister Feng's words are not very vague, this is a secret recipe, you can choose at will, but the taste is bound to be greatly reduced, and Ye Shui has mastered the most perfect way to match after research: mushrooms should choose oyster mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, dried shiitake mushrooms, and dried fruits should choose cashew nuts, northern almonds, and hazelnuts.
Each of these things also needs to be carefully selected, and selecting ingredients is also a kind of technical work, and it is very time-consuming, Ye Chui is also experienced in the selection of ingredients, but even so, it took him three or four hours to select these things one by one, and Han Yuyan, who was following him, was already impatient and wanted to strike.
It is said that accompanying a woman to go shopping is a very tiring job, but today Sister Han Yuyan finally understands that accompanying Ye Chui, a cook, to visit the vegetable market is really the most tiring, she doesn't understand, a bunch of dried mushrooms are about the same size as they are picked from the inside one by one? The most outrageous thing is the long mallet-like king oyster mushroom, Ye Tuo is like a beauty pageant, holding two in his hand and putting them in front of Han Yuyan to ask her who is more beautiful of the two......
In addition to these ingredients, dried fragrant, new bamboo shoots, etc. also need to be carefully selected, of course, the most important thing is the main ingredients eggplant and chicken, eggplant choose round eggplant, to have a bright skin, soft touch, as for the chicken, there is no need to select freshly slaughtered live chickens from the chicken farm, but there can be no mistake in the selection, Ye Chui bought five white broiler chickens in one go, and the other parts of the eggplant are not used, so you need the chicken breast.
After picking the ingredients, Ye Chui took Han Yuyan to the nearby ceramic market to carefully select a clay pot more than a foot high, which is the most important utensil for brewing the missing "finishing touch" substance in the eggplant.
In the end, Ye Chui carried the chickens, Han Yuyan followed Ye Chui with a clay pot and a bunch of ingredients in a plastic bag, her mouth kept thinking about it, this sister was also tired, and complained to Ye Chui: "Master, is the cooking ingredients so chosen?" I think it tastes pretty much the same. ”
"There is almost a difference, the taste of the ingredients is one line worse, and the difference in this line can be infinitely magnified when making a dish, and even become the difference between heaven and earth." Ye Chui turned his head and said meaningfully to Han Yuyan, "I wonder, are you Han Lao's granddaughter?" Han Lao must understand this truth best. ”
Han Yuyan pursed his lips, carried his things to the kitchen, rubbed his somewhat sore shoulders and sat down on the chair: "How do I feel that Master, you seem to be pulling me to be a coolie?" ”
Hearing Han Yuyan say this, Ye Chui immediately smiled: "Where did I bring back so many things?" I'm just pulling you to be a coolie...... Or what do you think? ”
Han Yuyan: "......"
Seeing that this sister looked like she was about to run away, Ye Chui hurriedly made a defensive appearance: "Why are you going to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors?" Anyway, after walking outside for so long just now, you sweated, didn't you go take a shower first? ”
After all, girls still love to be clean, hearing Ye Trai say this, Han Yuyan really felt a little uncomfortable, glared at Ye Chui and turned around and ran upstairs.
Ye Chui smiled, and began to prepare the ingredients, the things I bought in the vegetable market just now were bought in several copies, this court eggplant is complicated, and the matching ratio of ingredients is also extremely demanding, Ye Chui also needs to try to make it a few times, so as to ensure that the most extreme taste is made.
When Han Yuyan came down from the upper floor after taking a bath, the restaurant was already filled with a dense fragrance, which was dominated by the aroma of chicken, but mixed with the deliciousness of mushrooms and dried fruits.
Han Yuyan took a deep breath, couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and subconsciously cooed in her little belly, this sister began to worry, she is not a type of person who loves to eat, and she has seen a lot of delicacies with her grandfather, a well-known gourmand at home and abroad, but after meeting Ye Chui, she seems to be a little unable to control her mouth...... After being with this cheap master for a long time, will she become a little fat woman?
After Wang Shiyu came back from school in the evening, the delicious eggplant made by Ye Chui was also completed - it should be noted that this is only a delicious eggplant, not the "palace eggplant" that Ye Chui wanted to prepare for Wu Haimei.
When Han Yuyan's sister helped to serve the meal, she suddenly saw the ceramic jar placed on the side of the stove, and when Ye Chui bought this thing in the afternoon, he was still curious, I don't know what Ye Chui bought this for, and at this moment she hugged the clay pot at random, she sighed, and found that the weight of the clay pot had changed, and it seemed that something had been placed inside, she turned her head and asked Ye Chui while opening the lid of the porcelain jar: "Master, what did you put in here?" ”
"Don't open it!" Ye Chui hurriedly snatched the jar back from Han Yuyan's hand, "The contents of this must be sealed for at least seven days before they can be opened, and if they are opened at will before they are contaminated, the contents will deteriorate." ”
Han Yuyan frowned, but seeing what Ye Chui said, she solemnly put the jar in the darkest part of the cupboard, so she didn't ask more, the meal was served, and the most important thing was that a plate of delicious eggplant was also served on the table, Han Yuyan muttered in his heart, "I don't want to be a little fat woman, I don't want to be a little fat woman", and then he couldn't eat the door.
This eggplant tastes very fragrant with rice, and when you eat it in one bite, the deliciousness of chicken, dried fruits, mushrooms, dried beans, and new bamboo shoots spreads in your mouth, and people can't help but sigh that a small piece of eggplant can contain so much deliciousness - even if it weren't for the eggplant that Han Yuyan personally bought with Ye Chui, she wondered if there was any eggplant in this dish, and she only felt that this dish made the enjoyment of the tongue reach the extreme.
Looking at Han Yuyan and Wang Shiyu at the dinner table, and even the quiet and quiet who has always been quiet on weekdays are quite scrambling to put the dishes in their bowls, Ye Chui laughed, this delicious eggplant was sold in some big hotels that pursued classicism in the previous life, and the price even reached ** thousand plates, and the taste is naturally self-evident.
But for Ye Chui, there are still flaws in the dish, and it is not enough to revive an anorexic person's expectations of good food.
He turned his head to look at the kitchen cupboard, and after seven days of fermentation, the contents of the clay pot would form something that would complement the delicious eggplant, and with that kind of thing, the delicious eggplant would be sublimated into the ultimate delicious court eggplant!
When a meal was eating, Ye Chui's mobile phone suddenly rang, and now there are only a handful of people with his phone, and he glanced at the number, but it was Tian Xiaodu's fat man, Ye Chui walked to the side and connected the phone: "Hey, Xiao Du, do you have anything to do?" The hotel has already been set up, so you have to work here anyway, so why don't you come and have a look? ”
Since the hotel began to be decorated and arranged, Tian Xiaodu has always refused to come to visit, which is something that makes Ye Chui feel very strange, as if this fat man is afraid of something...... What is there to be afraid of?
"It's good to know how the hotel is, and it's not too late for me to go when it officially opens." Tian Xiaodu said with a smile, and continued to ask with him, "By the way, little brother, how are you preparing for the exam?" ”
Hearing Tian Xiaodu say this, Ye Droop paused: "What exam?" ”
Tian Xiaodu: "...... Tomorrow's Basic Chef Skills Exam. ”
Ye Hang: "Uh......"
I'm busy with eggplant today, but I've forgotten about tomorrow's exam.
