Chapter 502: The Hospital's Cafeteria Ten Star Delicious
"Brother, it's not me blowing to you, your 10,000 yuan is definitely worth it, my dish is called Wanzi Coral White, it is a main dish used in the large-scale banquets of the Manchu and Han Dynasty during the previous feudal dynasty, and now the people who will know this dish are almost extinct, I am also handed down from my ancestors, whether I can understand it, whether I can learn it, it depends on your creation, pay attention, I only do it once, and it is impossible to teach you."
Ye Feng nodded.
The owner of the restaurant was not talking nonsense, he took out ten carrots directly from the refrigerator on the side, and the owner was not taking out other ingredients except for the carrots.
Ye Feng couldn't help but say a little strangely: "Brother, your 10,000-character coral white, it sounds like the name has something to do with coral, even if it's not coral, coral can't be eaten, but it should be related to the sea." At least it's eaten in the sea, and this carrot has nothing to do with what you eat in the sea. ”
"Haha, brother, so why are we so destined, I also asked my dad that, and now I use my dad's words to reply to you, that is, you will know later."
Saying that, the restaurant owner waved the knife in his hand again and said: "Brother, to be honest, I make these dishes, even if I do them very slowly, I am not afraid that you will learn, in fact, cooking is very simple, as long as you learn with your heart, you can learn, but it is easy to cook, it is difficult to do well, I want to do a good job seriously, the knife work is very simple, brother, I have been practicing the knife work for a full twenty years, I have been practicing the knife since I was six years old, and I have not done anything else for twenty years, just practicing chopping vegetables, chopping vegetables, cutting vegetables, It's not a life to think about, but fortunately I practiced it, and now my knife skills, not my brother, I blow with you, whether it's round, flat, square, long, I can cut how I want. Absolutely, it means where to cut. ”
Ye Feng nodded, what the restaurant owner said in front of him was that he didn't blow water, and there was no need to blow water with himself when he looked like him, practicing one-handed knife work was indeed not as simple as he said, the age of the boss in front of him was about forty years old, and it was normal to practice knife work for more than twenty years.
"Okay, brother, I won't talk nonsense with you, catch the time, you can see it clearly, and you will understand later, why this dish is called Wanzi Coral White."
The restaurant owner said, picked up the carrot on the side, and began to cut it, extremely fast, and what is even more amazing is that when the restaurant owner was cutting the turnip, he didn't look at it at all, and the speed was extremely fast, almost a few clicks, and it was placed on the plate on the side.
In less than a few tens of seconds, the restaurant owner has already cut ten carrots.
"Alright, brother, this dish is ready."
Ye Feng thought that the boss would come up with something unique, but he didn't expect that it was just a few knives, even if he showed his knife skills, it wouldn't pass so quickly, right?
However, Ye Feng was not in a hurry, but quietly looked at the restaurant owner in front of him.
The restaurant owner glanced at Ye Feng appreciatively and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother, brother, I really appreciate you more and more, now you are the same as me before, you are so unsurprised, haha, I was the same as you at the beginning, but I haven't reacted yet, and your eyes are different, brother." ”
"Brother, can you tell what's different about this dish?"
The restaurant owner pointed to the ten carrots on the table in front of him, and there were ten carrots on the oversized tray, except that they were placed in the shape of a flower, there was no difference between the others, and the carrots were cut into flowers, which was really not good-looking.
Ye Feng looked at it for a while, but he didn't see anything unusual, and finally he only shook his head.
The restaurant owner burst out laughing and suddenly slapped his hand on the table in front of him. An amazing scene happened.
Ten carrots cracked open at once, turning into ten flowers, and the ten flowers are unusually realistic and beautiful from the appearance. Just like the real thing, and even more wonderful, the roots of the carrots fall just like the roots of flowers.
"Brother, can you tell what's different about these carrot cut flowers?"
Ye Feng took a closer look at it, then shook his head.
"These carrot cut flowers, they look like flowers on the outside, but in fact, they are all in the shape of coral, you can wait and see."
The owner of the restaurant said, scooping out a spoonful of boiling oil from the oil pan next to him, and spilling the oil on the corals in front of him.
An amazing scene happened again, the carrot flowers, which were originally cold like dead things, seemed to come back to life, and turned into a coral-like shape, which was extremely bright and beautiful.
The restaurant owner saw Ye Feng looking at the carrot flowers on the plate in front of him with a surprised expression, and couldn't help laughing: "How about it, brother, can you do this hand?" You're tasting it. ”
Ye Feng nodded, there was no politeness, picked up the chopsticks on the side, picked up a carrot cut out of the flower on the side, put it in his mouth, there was a carrot smell in the mouth, but it was not very strong, and then there was a strong milk fragrance, Ye Feng was a little strange, the restaurant owner had never used other seasonings from beginning to end, how are the carrots, at most they are oily, or their own taste, it is impossible to become other flavors.
Seeing Ye Feng look at him with a surprised face, the restaurant owner smiled mysteriously.
"Brother, don't you think it's strange how you can eat other flavors from carrots?"
Ye Feng nodded.
"Haha, at the beginning, I also asked my dad the same, do you know what happened to my dad to me? The answer is very simple, before putting this carrot in the refrigerator, soak it in cream, milk, green onions, soy sauce, and other seasonings according to the proportion for a certain period of time, and after freezing it, you can take it out to cook. ”
"Master." Ye Feng gave a thumbs up to the restaurant owner, this forced pretending to be powerful.
"Haha, where, just practice more, brother, do you know why this dish is called Wanzi Coral White?" Seeing the appearance of the restaurant owner, Ye Feng knew that he was ready to sell the little ink in his stomach in front of him again.
Ye Feng nodded, but he didn't expose the restaurant owner.
"When I asked my dad, my dad asked me to go back and think about it, but my head was big, and I didn't figure out why it was called this name, and then my dad told me, ten thousand, the meaning of homophonic long live, also has the meaning of one in ten thousand, one in ten thousand, so as the beginning, the word is the word behind long live, in ancient times it can also be homophonic for ambition, it is ambitious, very ambitious and so on. Because of the limited fishing capacity in ancient times, unlike now, you can get some corals whenever you want. ”
"In ancient times, coral was also a very noble thing, because it was very rare, and even for a period of time, it was at the point of ten thousand taels of gold and one penny of coral, it can be seen that ancient coral is also a very precious thing, not to mention that coral is scarce, even if you can find coral, it can't be eaten, coral is the corpse of the coral polyp after it dies. This is a very unlucky thing, and if Banzai or even those dignitaries know about it, it will be a capital crime. ”
"So, my ancestors thought of using radishes instead of coral, as for the difficulty, it is very easy, as long as the radish is cut into the shape of coral in advance, even if someone raises objections, you can also tell them that this is a special species of coral, white coral, so in the end, this dish is set to 10,000 words coral white."
After hearing what the restaurant owner said, Ye Feng nodded: "Listening to my brother's words, it has made me gain a lot of knowledge." Brother, today's 10,000 is really no vain flowers. ”
"Haha, I haven't finished speaking, how do you know if this ten thousand flowers are worth it?" The owner of the restaurant seemed to be addicted: "Ancient nine is the biggest number, don't you see?" The clothes worn by those emperors are embroidered with nine dragons, nine represents the supremacy, and the emperor is the sky, but the emperor wants to use ten carrots to cook, because in ancient times, he liked to be perfect, and it was difficult for my ancestors at that time. ”
"If you use ten, it is greater than nine, then it is a capital crime, how can it be greater than nine? But ten is an order from the emperor himself, the emperor doesn't care what you do, if you get eight carrots, it is tantamount to bullying the king, and it is also a capital crime, so this name can't be called the Ten Perfect Radish Banquet, and finally the name was changed to 10,000 words coral white, the name is good, and it is very meaningful. ”
Ye Feng nodded.
"Brother, what you said really made my brother and me better than ten years of study."
"Haha, where, I haven't said it so happily for a long time, I really want to thank my brother today, if it weren't for my brother's willingness to listen to my brother and talk nonsense for so long, I'm afraid that my brother I have to suffocate to death."
Ye Feng was immediately happy: "Brother, you are such an optimistic person, how did you behave so timidly just now." ”
"Hey, brother, I'm so confident in cooking at most, but in life, it's different, life is a fucking joke, hey."
Ye Feng nodded understandingly, many people are extremely confident in what they are best at, but on the other side that they are not good at, they are extremely inferior, which is a normal thing.
"Brother, our brothers are so fateful, just forget about this 10,000 yuan." The restaurant owner suddenly surprised Ye Feng and gave the 10,000 yuan back to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng suddenly smiled and refused directly: "Brother, don't be so polite, don't talk about eating this supreme delicacy in the world today, just listening to my brother's words, it is far more than the value of this ten thousand." Brother, you better take this money back, okay, brother, I'll go back first. ”
"Leaving so soon? Brother, why don't I cook it myself and bring you a few side dishes? ”
"No need for the time being, brother, if I stay here, I'm afraid it will cause you a lot of trouble."
Seeing that Ye Feng insisted on leaving, the restaurant owner was silent for a moment, he naturally understood what Ye Feng meant by this, and nodded.
"Okay, brother, I'll come back often when I'm free."
"Don't worry, brother, I'll come often." Ye Feng nodded.
