[0047 chapter].
Traditional kung fu cooking, this is also a rare opportunity in Jialu, with Mao Wei's acquiescence, other chefs also put down their work, spontaneously approached Qin Feng's side, and began to observe collectively.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Actually, this braised river eel really doesn't have any tricks, but it makes you laugh." ”
It is said that there is no trick, on the surface, it seems to be true, in order to keep the fish skin intact, Qin Feng doesn't even make an oil pot, after the eel flies in the boiling water to be raw, it is the cold water to make the fish meat keep tight.
Add water to the wok, after the river eel is put into the pot, add dark soy sauce, white sugar, large garlic cloves, large slices of ginger, throw them into the pot, and add cooking wine. After the water in the pot was boiled, the water was added again and again, until it was half a pot full, and then the water added was boiled again, and the naked eye saw only the pot full of red soup and water, and it was impossible to see where the eel section went.
Qin Feng gestured and said, "The work of kung fu dishes is spent on this." "The so-called kung fu cuisine, just wait and wait, there is nothing to do in between, and you can't be distracted, no wonder today's young chefs don't want to waste their time on this. As far as Qin Feng knows, the old restaurant of the God's Temple in the old city of the magic capital, when a traditional dish of the gang braised catfish, no master was willing to start, and later the old master who made a living from the mud bombardment in Dongdu returned, and heard that there was no braised catfish in the old restaurant, and he personally demonstrated it under the heartache, so that this traditional dish of the gang could continue to spread.
Yue Yuxia smiled, saying that she agreed with Qin Feng's statement, in fact, if she doesn't talk about others, she will say herself, while loving food, she is extremely disgusted with the matter of setting up a stove, it should be said that in the Yue family, the most unpromising in cooking may be her.
As time passed, the soup slowly tightened, and by this time, the naked eye could already see the eel segment coming to the surface. Qin Feng's frying spoon unhurriedly scooped the soup in the pot and poured it over, occasionally turning over the eel segments in the pot to prevent the eel at the bottom of the wok from boiling paste.
Time continued to pass, Qin Feng had no time to communicate with Yue Yuxia and others, his attention was already completely focused on the wok, every few moments, his frying spoon would turn the eel back and forth, and by the way, he used the frying spoon to sense where the river eel had reached.
"It's almost time to get the juice, it's about to thicken, right?" Mao Ying asked beside her.
Yue Yuxia nodded and said: "Braised river eel is the most important thing in addition to the heat, the traditional thickening is mostly used for rapid cooking, using the characteristics of water starch to form a paste when heated, so that the juice mixed with various seasonings is thick and attached to the surface of the ingredients...... However, the thickening of braised river eel also has a function that pays equal attention to the fish skin, making the fish skin smoother and more shiny...... "Speaking of this, Yue Yuxia suddenly woke up to Mao Ying, who was called a genius girl since she started learning to cook, so she laughed at herself: "I am just talking on paper, and the head chef is the real expert." ”
Mao Ying hurriedly said to herself: "Where, what I have learned is only the skin, Miss Yue is a famous family, I was fortunate to taste the 'Zixia Hanging Quail' private restaurant once, and it is still unforgettable, over time, Miss Yue's achievements are limitless......"
Zixia Hanging Quail is a private restaurant opened by Yue Yuxia Xianlai, and all the work of the restaurant is taken care of by her alone, because it is just the nature of playing tickets, so the restaurant has the saying of "three do not open": first, sewing one, three or five do not open; Second, the sewing is not open; Third, the sewing aunt and grandmother have something to do. In this way, in the first fifty-two weeks of the year, the days of private restaurants opening are numbered, but people are rich people, and there is no shortage of pocket money, so love does not come.
"I'm joking." For his own private restaurant, Yue Yuxia was reluctant to talk deeply, and the topic ended here.
As he spoke, the frying spoon in Qin Feng's hand suddenly paused, and then immediately stretched the frying spoon into the water starch container, stirred vigorously, scooped out the starch water, sprinkled it evenly into the wok, and began to thicken the braised river eel.
The starch is fixed in one place, and it is easy to be scorched in case of fierce fire, and the stir-fry spoon stirs too much in the pot, and it is easy to destroy the skin of the river eel, so the frequency of Qin Feng's stir-fry is obviously more diligent than other dishes, and after a while, the wok-fried oil is added, and it is a good time, and then it is put on the plate and sprinkled with chopped green onions.
"It's so fragrant......" Mao Ying wrinkled her nose lightly and praised softly.
"It's very fragrant, but it's not the main selling point of this dish." Yue Yuxia struck on the side.
"Yes......" Although the braised river eel was ready, Qin Feng did not feel the slightest sense of relief, but seemed to be more preoccupied.
"Ten minutes to make a dish, this efficiency ......" Mao Wei shook his head again and again, and at the same time more determined that this dish must be crossed out of the menu in the future.
"Alright, then you can wait for me and the old gentleman to judge you." Yue Yuxia's face is relaxed, which is also the fundamental reason why she prefers to be a gourmet, rather than a chef. Sick in the head......
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I go to the old gentleman together?" ”
"Are you sure you said the wrong thing?" Yue Yuxia's face suddenly turned cold, and he asked in a cold tone.
"You can't be so careful, will you?"
"I'm just so careful, what's the matter......"
"Neurological ......"
Considering that he had refused Yue Yuxia's invitation, but now he was automatically sent to the door, the blow to Yue Yuxia seemed to be too big. So, Qin Feng decided to save her some face, and he no longer insisted on meeting the old gentleman.
Yue Yuxia consciously pulled back a city, snorted with a sense of accomplishment, shook his head, his hair danced, and the tips of his hair almost flew to Qin Feng's face.
"The villain has a will...... The heel is so high, be careful to walk and wrestle and break your brain......" Qin Feng said angrily.
"Grandma is happy, you bite me......" Yue Yuxia was originally very good at arguing, but as soon as she said this, she suddenly remembered that Qin Feng had not "bitten" her, and, strictly speaking, she forced him to "bite", so that the momentum suddenly wilted, so he glared at Qin Feng fiercely, and hurriedly followed Mao Wei to the lobby to join in the fun.
In the lobby on the ground floor of Jialu Tianhai store, the time has passed the evening rush hour, but the atmosphere is still crowded here, because the store manager's recommended dishes have been out of stock, most of the diners who stayed, while drinking, have plans to come early tomorrow, so as not to miss the limited Dongpo meat.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the lobby was solemn, and I saw the manager Mao Wei holding a plate of braised river eel, followed by a stunning beauty, and the two of them went one after the other, facing the old gentleman sitting alone in the corner of the restaurant.
"There is a situation ......"
More than one person thought so in their hearts, and almost all of them paid attention to the old gentleman.
