Chapter 163: Boiling Water Cabbage
Because this cooking was a competition, and the supreme ruler of this decaying empire made her request, every chef who entered his stove was subjected to a strict body search to ensure that these people did not have the slightest forbidden item on their body, that is, all kinds of meat and fishy food, or materials.
If it is found out after being brought in, it means that it is a felony to deceive the king, and it is a felony to involve the nine clans.
Everyone else was in a nervous mood, but Huang Jinglin had a calm face, as if he didn't take this matter seriously at all, which also surprised the guards who searched and guarded.
The stoves are all separate, and the ingredients inside are also arranged separately, of course, some vegetarian dishes, which are prepared according to the requirements of each chef before.
Huang Jinglin was not in a hurry inside, he didn't do anything, just picked out a big cabbage from the big pile of vegetables, and then tore off all the cabbage gangs, revealing the yellowed cabbage core inside, and then he lit the stove, poured a large pot of water, and began to boil the water.
Then he didn't do anything, just peeled out the yellow and tender cabbage cores neatly placed in a soup pot.
Then Huang Jinglin sat on the stool like a nobody, bored and counted the ants on the ground, and the time passed slowly, until the water in the cauldron boiling on the stove boiled, and after hearing the gurgling sound, Huang Jinglin stood up from his seat, stood in front of the boiling cauldron and looked at it, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Then, with a shake of his body, he took off the gown he was wearing, revealing a crumpled shoulder.
Huang Jinglin took off the wrinkled shoulder, and then shook it, and threw the dry and hard wrinkled shoulder into the boiling cauldron, and immediately a peculiar smell immediately came out of the boiling water in the pot, this taste was very light, but when Huang Jinglin's shoulder just entered the water, there was a very faint trace, and then as time passed, this extremely special and extremely fragrant taste disappeared.
He just shook the end of his shoulder in the boiling water, and the boiling water was still steaming, and the color of the water did not change in the slightest, it was still clear and transparent.
After almost a quarter of an hour, Huang Jinglin felt that it was almost, so he took out the shoulder and put it in front of the stove to dry, and then he took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of clear and transparent hot water from the pot, shh
Huang Jinglin no longer hesitated, and directly scooped up a large spoonful of the 'clear water' in the pot with a spoon and poured it directly into the soup plate with the tender yellow cabbage core he had placed before.
After pouring two spoonfuls of 'water' like this, the whole soup plate was full.
Looking at his finished cabbage, which was so simple that it couldn't be simpler, Huang Jinglin nodded with satisfaction, picked up the lid on the side and covered the whole dish, and then he looked at the still wet shoulders on the side, and didn't dislike it too much, so he wore it directly, and then he picked up the general stove pot that was still left, and directly poured the remaining 'water' in the pot.
After making this qiē and tidying up the scene, he opened the door and shouted to the guards who were patrolling and monitoring the neighborhood, signaling that his dish was finished.
Huang Jinglin finished it in the fastest and not the latest, so he didn't attract the attention of others.
It's just that when the eunuch in charge of delivering the dishes came to serve the dishes, he probably knew that Huang Jinglin was a new Sichuan chef, so he asked curiously: "What kind of delicacies does Master Huang make?" ”
Hearing the words of this little eunuch, Huang Jinglin just smiled, showed an embarrassed smile, and said ashamedly: "It's just a very ordinary vegetarian dish, Lafayette's topic this time is too tricky, and the contemptible talent is shallow, I really can't think of any good practices, so I can only use a dish made by my mother to satisfy my hunger when I was a child because of my poor family to present it to Lafayette." ”
Huang Jinglin said very respectfully, and his answer was also very decent, and it didn't make this little eunuch suspicious, because the dishes served before, Lafayette was not satisfied with it, including those masters of Lu cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine and other big cuisines, since these people are not good, let alone the chef of this unpopular Sichuan cuisine in front of him, so the little eunuch just nodded and signaled, and then took this dish that Huang Jinglin called a very simple vegetarian dish, and ran towards Cixi's Luan driving place in small steps.
After the little eunuch left, Huang Jinglin immediately left the imperial dining room, returned to his room, picked up the luggage that had been packed a long time ago, didn't say a word, just left a letter, and left away from the capital.
By the time the little eunuch's dish arrived in front of Cixi's old witch, Huang Jinglin had already run outside the capital.
The ingredients that didn't have any meat and fish in front of her have already made Cixi extremely dissatisfied, although she has now realized how unreliable the restrictions she mentioned before are, otherwise it would be impossible for so many skilled celebrity chefs to make even a delicious food for her, but she is a high-ranking Lafayette, the emperor's emperor Ama, naturally it is impossible to say that it is her mistake, it can only be said that these imperial chefs are not good at cooking.
When the little eunuch presented the soup plate to Cixi, Cixi just shouted absentmindedly with an expressionless face, and when the lid of the soup plate was lifted, Cixi saw that there were only a few yellow cabbages floating in the clear water in the soup plate, and immediately changed color, her face instantly turned red, and even her body trembled with anger.
The previous imperial chefs, although the dishes they made were not very delicious, it was because of their own limitations, but although they were not delicious, they were only the difference in taste, and in the evaluation of the five characteristics of the dishes, the color, flavor and shape were just a taste word that did not meet the standard, and this dish turned out to be ...... Just a cabbage in a dish of boiling water! It just doesn't make sense!
Just when she wanted to get angry, and then give an order to the guards to arrest the imperial chef who made this dish and exterminate the nine clans, the extremely smart Cixi immediately had a completely different idea, and then her face showed a suspicious look, she is good at figuring out people's hearts, she knows better than anyone how much these minions under her command are afraid of her, these people definitely don't have the guts to fool themselves.
Thinking of this, Cixi instead had a curiosity about this seemingly extremely simple dish, and she thought, this chef did not focus on the color, aroma and shape, so this dish must have tasted outstanding?
Since thinking of this, Cixi became more curious about this dish, she asked people to try whether this dish was poisonous or not, and after confirming that it was not poisonous, she let people bring the cabbage soaked in this simple clear water to her eyes, although it was not very good-looking, but driven by curiosity, Cixi still picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and put it in her mouth......
At this point in the story, Jester's face showed a mysterious smile, and then stopped telling, which made Claudia, who had been listening to his story for a long time, frown, and her beautiful eyes suddenly looked at Jester, and her eyes were full of doubt: "Why don't you continue to tell?" The end result? I know that the key to how this chef is made is his shirt called Kan Shoulder, which sounds a little disgusting, but I still don't know how he did it......"
Hearing Claudia ask him a barrage of questions about the story he had just told, Jester smiled and didn't say anything about it.
He just said in the mysterious tone of the previous one: "Of course, the last place can't be said now, now say what do you expect from this dish?" And the process of this dish is very complicated, it takes a long time, at least 24 hours, so at this time tomorrow, before you actually eat this dish, you should keep a little curiosity, let me see the cooking skills of you who have stepped yourself into the sky. ”
There is no need to cook too much for two, so Claudia's main course is a seven-cooked steak that has been secretly prepared by her, using the most tender tenderloin on the cow, and the beef cattle selected have just been slaughtered for no more than 24 hours, and the beef from the Pampas savannah airlifted from Buenos Aires, although the current British have just finished the Falklands naval battle according to Argentina, but this does not affect Argentina, the world's largest beef exporter, to export the world's top beef to other countries.
Other dishes include baked shrimp with cheese and fried bacon, although the dish is very ordinary, but it is better to make zuò quickly, and it uses a sauce that Claudia herself made privately, so the taste is very delicious and delicious.
Even Jester is very picky about his taste, and he is full of praise.
And Claudia is not without pride to say that her secret sauce is developed and blended by herself, it is her secret that is not passed on, in addition to her father, Jester is the third person who can eat it besides her, for Claudia's statement, Jester does not know whether it is true or false, but according to his understanding of Claudia, she has no need to deceive herself in this regard.
After eating, Claudia asked Jester what the name of the dish in the story he had just said.
The name of the dish Jester naturally does not need to be hidden, this dish has a very high reputation in the eight major cuisines of the whole country, and anyone who knows a little about the cuisine of the country has not heard of the name of the immortal product in this Sichuan cuisine.
So, Jester just answered Claudia in a very flat tone.
"The name of this dish is very ordinary, it's called boiling water cabbage." R1152
