Chapter 248: Cooking Competition
The traditional Chinese medicine industry is one of the few industries that is extremely traditional in today's society, and since Jiang Shaoyou worshipped Chen Baohua's teacher, then this senior sister has to admit it, and she doesn't dare to lose her courtesy.
"Good...... Good! Brother, you're good! Then I won't call you Mr. Jiang in the future! Liu Ruyun covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You don't know, how much the master praises your talent, when he came to me a few days ago, he simply praised you to the sky, and even very jealous Zou Lao accepted you as a disciple of the mantle!" Well...... It's just that he didn't tell me that you are still good at cooking! Otherwise, I would have liked to meet your outstanding junior brother earlier! ”
Jiang Shaoyou said with a smile: "In fact, Master Chen Baohua and I haven't known each other for long, and we have even less time together, so Master Chen doesn't know that I'm still good at cooking." In that case...... Then let's have a good exchange, although I have worshiped Master, but I haven't had a chance to learn much from Master Chen, Senior Sister, you don't hesitate to give advice! ”
Liu Ruyun said: "Where...... Senior brother, you are a natural talent, and your comments just now are all to the point, should I learn more from you, senior sister. ”
Jiang Shaoyou shook his head and said, "I've said it all, I'm biased and strict!" It's just that he's good at cooking hot dishes, and he's also relatively good at hot food cooking, and he's weaker in other aspects. Especially Senior Sister, you must be very good at the field of medicinal diet, I don't know much about these, and I am about to ask Senior Sister for advice. ”
Liu Ruyun smiled and said, "Okay...... Then we're all welcome. Let's go...... Go to my exclusive kitchen, and let's have a good conversation. ”
Liu Ruyun said that he should lead the way first and walked out with Jiang Shaoyou.
"Wow...... I really didn't expect it, it turned out that Brother Jiang was ...... He's still Boss Liu's junior brother! ”
"News, this is big news!"
Seeing Liu Ruyun and Jiang Shaoyou leaving, the Chu sisters immediately looked at each other, and Chu Mei immediately grabbed her sister's arm and said, "Why are you still stunned, let's go...... Let's take a look! ”
Chu Ke said with some hesitation: "Don't you...... I...... There are so many delicacies here, I only ate a few bites! Haven't eaten enough yet...... I'm so hungry! ”
"Stupid, sister!" Chu Mei said angrily: "Even if you are greedy, it won't be bad for a while!" And...... The two of them are going to compete in cooking, so they will naturally cook a lot of food later, and there will be less for us to eat when the time comes? And also...... These dishes are all made by Boss Liu alone, don't you want to taste Brother Jiang's craftsmanship? I wonder if it's true, as he says, that his cooking skills are so good that people can't wait to marry him once they eat it! ”
Chu Ke smiled when he heard this, and said, "Xiao Nizi, I think you are a spring heart, right?" Are you in a hurry to get married? ”
Chu Mei twisted her sister's waist angrily and said, "Stinky sister, what's wrong with my spring heart?" Anyway, when I get married, sister, you have to marry with me, and you can't run away? ”
Chu Keqiao's face turned crimson and said, "Little Nizi, I didn't say that I really wanted to marry you!" That's all you said...... Xiao Nizi is really not ashamed at all! ”
Chu Mei grinned and said, "Okay...... If you don't want to marry with me, then I won't recognize you as a sister again, how about it...... Are you willing? ”
Chu Ke's eyes turned a little red when he heard this, and he was so angry that he hit his sister a few times, saying, "Stinky Nizi, Dead Nizi!" I know that I am bullying my sister, what am I reluctant to do! ”
Chu Mei pulled her sister with a smile and said, "Okay, let's go over quickly!" It's not too late to see ......"
Liu Ruyun's exclusive kitchen is very spacious, with a space of more than 100 square meters, full of all kinds of kitchen supplies, there are at least dozens of woks and steamers alone, but there are only four stoves. On both sides of the kitchen, on one side is a refrigerator for ingredients, and on the other side is a high shelf of traditional Chinese medicine, hundreds of drawers containing various colors of Chinese medicinal herbs, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance.
Such a large kitchen, but Liu Ruyun is dedicated to one person, which shows how atmospheric this scale is!
As soon as Liu Ruyun entered the door, she washed her hands first, and then took two aprons, one tied it herself, and handed it to Jiang Shaoyou, saying, "Come on...... Senior brother, what kind of dishes are you good at, why don't we cook a dish at the same time, and then evaluate each other's advantages and disadvantages. Hehe...... But don't get me wrong, Senior Sister doesn't have to compete with you, it's just that Senior Sister I haven't competed with others in cooking for a long time, and I'm itchy for a while. In fact, I hope that your cooking skills are better than mine, so that I can stimulate my fighting spirit and vitality, otherwise...... Sister, I'm too lazy to cook during this time! Alas......"
Jiang Shaoyou could probably understand Liu Ruyun's mood, so he smiled slightly and said, "Okay...... Then I'll do my best to hit you, senior sister! Well...... Then let's make a traditional Northeast pot wrapped pork first! This shouldn't be difficult for senior sisters, right? ”
"Of course!" Liu Ruyun nodded and said, "After all, senior sister, I am also from the Northeast, how can this dish be difficult for me!" Come on...... In this cabinet are all fresh pork slaughtered today, and this pig is also a stupid pig raised in my own farm, from the birth of the piglet to the slaughter are guaranteed not to be fed a little feed, the meat is very delicate and mellow. Junior brother, let's choose the ingredients first, and then we'll cook them together......"
Jiang Shaoyou couldn't help but praise when he heard this: "It seems that you are still professional enough, senior sister...... In order to cook absolutely delicious food, you can even start your own farm! If I'm not mistaken, the ingredients used in the bowl of tofu you just made should also be made in your own tofu workshop, right? Generally, the tofu in the ordinary tofu workshop is definitely not so delicate and tender. ”
Liu Ruyun smiled and said, "Yes...... You're right. And it's not just meat and soy products, in fact, I also have a large farm and orchard in the suburbs, and the ingredients I consume every day in this private restaurant are basically self-sufficient, and only a few special ingredients will be purchased from outside. I can't help it...... Now the general vegetables, grains, melons and fruits are driven up by chemical fertilizers, livestock and poultry are grown up on feed, the result of agricultural industrialization is that the production capacity has increased greatly, but any ingredient has completely lost its original taste after such a rapid birth, and no matter how exquisite the cooking skills are used to produce this mass-produced ingredients, it is impossible to cook a real delicacy! ”
Jiang Shaoyou said approvingly: "Senior sister, you are right, but this is also the beginning of the national situation!" Who made us have a large Chinese population! If it were not for this way of agricultural industrialization to stimulate the production of a large number of agricultural and sideline products, how could we feed the huge billions of people! ”
Liu Ruyun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then had to admit that he said: "You can see it deeply, junior brother, I used to be the same as everyone else, I only know that complaining about the changes in the world now makes people's hearts frivolous, whether it is businessmen or farmers, they are just blindly pursuing speed and efficiency, and do not pay attention to the quality of products and crops at all." But think about it carefully, or junior brother, your words are reasonable, my farm can only be slaughtered once a year to raise pigs a year, my farm produces vegetables and grain, the yield per mu is only one-tenth of others, so the effect of planting and feeding is of course good, the quality of the product is certainly not the kind of fertilizer and feed can be compared. But...... If the farms and farmers all over the country follow my method, then I am afraid that we will have another famine in China! So...... This approach of mine is only suitable for the high-end market, and cannot be promoted on a large scale! ”
While speaking, I saw that Jiang Shaoyou had already opened the refrigerator where the pork was placed, just glanced at it casually, picked up a piece of meat from it, and then cut the piece of meat in half, put half of it on the plate he was holding, and handed the other piece to Liu Ruyun.
Liu Ruyun smiled when she saw the piece of meat cut by Jiang Shaoyou, and said, "Senior brother, you are really an expert!" As the so-called connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one! Ordinary people only know that to make pot-wrapped meat, they must choose tenderloin as an ingredient. In fact, there is more moisture content in the tenderloin, and the pot-wrapped meat cooked with the tenderloin will have a little less crispy texture, and it will immediately fall into inferiority, so the chef who really knows how to cook must choose the back hip tendon as the main ingredient when making this pot-wrapped meat! Hehe...... The pork here has been aseptically processed, you don't need to clean the pork, you can cook it directly with confidence, otherwise you will have to use a paper towel to absorb the water attached to it after cleaning, which is too wasteful of time. ”
"That's good!" Hearing that the meat had already been processed, Jiang Shaoyou didn't waste any more time, he directly put the piece of meat on the board, picked up a knife, and began to change the knife.
The meat slices should not be cut too thinly, as the moisture in the meat will be completely dried up, and it will taste like chewing firewood, and if it is too thick, it will affect the taste. The most taboo is the difference in thickness, in that case, you will not be able to control the heat at all after getting out of the pot, and the thin place will be fried by then, but the thick place will still be hung with blood, then it will be bad!
In order not to drop the chain in front of his senior sister, Jiang Shaoyou almost used all his tricks, even when cutting meat, he also turned on the perspective eye, and under the monitoring of the perspective eye, he almost perfectly measured the thickness of the meat slices, and cut each piece of meat as if he had measured it with a ruler.
Moreover, under the strong reaction speed, Jiang Shaoyou's speed of changing the knife was also extremely fast, almost just a few breaths, and more than a dozen slices of meat of almost the same size and thickness appeared from under Jiang Shaoyou's knife. At this time, Liu Ruyun, who was almost at the same time as Jiang Shaoyou, only cut about one-third.
Liu Ruyun put down his knife in a bit of astonishment, went over and picked up Jiang Shaoyou's cut meat slices and looked at them carefully, his eyes couldn't help showing a look of shock, and he exclaimed, "This is the best knife skill I've ever seen...... Not one of them! Brother, are you really studying medicine? Oh, my God...... If it weren't for the fact that you were too young, I would have wondered if you were a chef who had been working all his life changing knives! Tut-tut...... The people I've seen who have worked on the single process of changing knives for decades are not as skilled as yours! ”
Jiang Shaoyou smiled embarrassedly and said, "Senior sister, don't praise me, otherwise I will be proud!" ”
Liu Ruyun said seriously: "You...... Something to be proud of! ”
