Chapter 815: The Shock of Potato Beef Stew!

Wang Zhihe, together with several other chefs, stood in the kitchen and watched Chu Yang cook. When he opened his mouth to ask for something, he immediately agreed loudly, and then asked the little apprentices under his hand to find it for him.

Wang Zhihe is the master chef of the guest house, and he has been working here for more than 20 years. As long as it is delicious, people in Zhongxian County know that Wang Zhihe of the guest house has a few unique skills in cooking, one is the signature Dongpo meat, and the other is the steamed leek buns. Everyone who comes to the county guest house to eat, these two dishes are a must-order.

Although Zhongxian County is not a famous food county, the people here are still more particular about eating. can make the foodies in Zhongxian admit that Wang Zhihe naturally has a set of fame. In his early years, he learned his skills from a five-star chef in Yanjing, although he has been in Zhongxian since then and has not gone out again, but this skill has never been left behind.

Wang Zhihe is also very good, and he is happy to see everyone, looking like a smiling Buddha.

In the past two days, two county magistrates have lived in the guest house, and these two county magistrates basically eat every meal here, and their meals are also made by Wang Zhihe himself. Don't look at him, Wang Zhihe, who is not as famous as Wang Zhihe, who makes stinky tofu, but when it comes to making food, Wang Zhihe is still not convinced.

When the county magistrate of Chu came to the cafeteria in person, Wang Zhihe thought that he wanted something to eat. This Chu County has been here for a few days, at first Wang Zhihe felt that he would be so proud to be the deputy county magistrate at such a young age, who would have thought that after a few days of contact, Chu Yang always looked kind when he saw him, which also made him have a very good impression of this deputy county magistrate.

But today, the move of this deputy county magistrate of Chu. It made him a little puzzled.

Because he actually had to cook in the kitchen himself.

When he first heard Deputy County Magistrate Chu's words, Wang Zhihe was still a little uneasy in his heart, thinking that what he had made was not to the taste of the county magistrate. However, the other party's explanation quickly reassured him. Because Deputy County Magistrate Chu said that it was because his girlfriend came over, so he had to cook and eat himself. Wang Zhihe understood as soon as he heard it. This is a young man, in love. He did it when he was younger, but he hadn't done it in many years.

"Uncle Wang, the beef is here." A young man in a white chef's uniform carried a plastic bag containing two catties of fine beef meat. This is what he just went out to buy, and although there is beef in the back kitchen of the canteen of the guest house, the best Jianzi meat is gone. So Wang Zhihe asked his young men to go out to the market and buy some back.

"Okay." Wang Zhihe took the beef and asked casually: "Is it from Lao Zhou's family?" ”

"Hehe, Uncle Wang, you personally ordered it, so can it be worse? Lao Zhou said, this is the cow that was just killed in the morning, and the best piece will be kept for you. The little chef said with a smile.

"Hey, hey. This old Zhou is a good mouth. Wang Zhihe said with a smile. While taking out the beef, putting it in the sink to wash it, and putting it on the board that belonged to him, he looked at Chu Yang and said with a smile: "Chu County, leave this matter to my Lao Wang." What kind do you say you want to cut? Blocks or pieces? ”

There were several apprentices of Lao Wang standing next to him, and they were all a little surprised when they saw this scene. You must know that their master is the oldest in the guest house, and even the director has to be polite when he meets him. There aren't many cases of cooking for yourself, let alone giving hands to others. But when you think that the other party is the county magistrate, it is not surprising. It's just that these people are a little curious, a county magistrate, still so young, can he make things? Can you eat what you make?

Chu Yang looked at Wang Zhihe and said with a smile: "No, Lao Wang, you can give me the knife." ”

"This ...... Chu County, don't cut your hands! Wang Zhihe saw that this little Chu county magistrate actually wanted to cut the meat by himself, and he immediately hesitated, but the county magistrate asked for a knife, and he didn't dare not give it, but he didn't forget to remind him when he gave it.

"Hehe, Lao Wang, you don't have to worry, I can also use both hands to cook this food. I know you're the chef of Zhongxian, but I'm going to show you a hand today, and I'll let you see my kung fu as an amateur. Chu Yang said with a smile.

"Okay, then we'll really look at it, Chu County." Wang Zhihe said with a smile, and the others also laughed, waiting to see Chu Yang cook the dishes. These people felt very fresh, and before that, they had not seen the head of a county cook in person.

Chu Yang took the knife handed over by Wang Zhihe, looked at the freshly washed beef on the board, paused for a while, and suddenly moved his wrist.

At the same time, several chefs, including Wang Zhihe, saw a flash of knife, and then there was a rhythmic "pop" sound in the kitchen.

Well, don't get me wrong, this is not a picture that is inappropriate for children. This sound came from Chu Yang's knife blade, which was in rapid contact with the meat on the board.

Chu Yang's wrist was as flexible as a spiritual snake, hooking, picking, patting, and pumping, and a kitchen knife accompanied his movements, constantly slapping the meat with the blade, and the sound made had a peculiar rhythm, which sounded like a very magical feeling.

Chu Yang gently carried the knife, and with the small softness, he gently shattered every fiber in the beef, while maintaining the integrity of the whole, such a power control, even if the top chef in China saw it at the scene, he would probably be amazed.

Chu Yanglu's hand is not just for the sake of looking good. If you want to stew beef well, the most difficult thing is to absorb the flavor, even if you use a pressure cooker and stew for a long time, the taste is just floating on the surface and entering a little bit. The reason why this is the case is because the texture of the beef itself is relatively strong and not easy to taste.

But Chu Yang's hand makes the beef extremely soft, and when making it, it can fully penetrate the flavor into the meat, and at the same time does not change the taste of the beef itself.

Wang Zhihe opened his mouth wide, looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly found that he had learned all the cooking skills of the previous 20 years or so from dogs.

This kung fu of slapping meat with a knife and changing the quality of the meat was also seen by the top chefs in the capital, and he was really amazed at the time. Cited as a miracle skill. He had always wanted to learn this skill, but he could only learn it at the scratch, and he couldn't master that delicate power at all. Even so, his hand of "Dongpo meat" is also famous in Zhongxian. If he can fully master this skill, then his fame will not only be as simple as a chef in the middle county.

A young man in his early twenties. is not a chef yet, but he can play this kung fu to such a point, Wang Zhihe is even a little skeptical at this moment, whether this guy is the reincarnation of the kitchen god.

And the young men standing behind him, facing this scene, couldn't understand it at all, and didn't know what this Chu county magistrate was doing.

In less than three minutes, Chu Yang had completely taken this piece of beef. The next moment, he moved his knife like a fly, and in less than ten seconds, he cut this piece of meat into two centimeters square.

This kung fu suddenly made many chefs present shout hello!

As a chef, the knife is not too strong. is an important aspect of measuring the level. Chu Yang's kung fu of cutting meat with his hands is fast and steady. The cut meat pieces are evenly sized, as if measured with a ruler, and this hand alone has calmed the chefs present!

Anyone who has ever cooked knows that cutting vegetables is easy and difficult to cut meat, especially the kind that has just been bought. Soft meat is more difficult to cut than meat that melts out of the refrigerator. Because it is soft, it is very difficult to control the strength of cutting, and the size and shape are even more difficult to control.

But Chu Yang's hand. If the weight is light, with a few knives, the meat will be cut as evenly as if it is divided by a machine, and the difficulty of this hand of kung fu can naturally be seen by these chefs present, and they immediately put away their contempt for this deputy county magistrate of Chu.

At first, I thought he was playing casually, and these people who were ready to go up to help at any time had no such thoughts at the moment.

People with such knife skills will have poor cooking skills? These people know everything in their hearts, and now they all look like they are learning with an open mind, even Wang Zhihe.

Chu Yang made beef stew with potatoes, a very ordinary dish. In the guest house, I don't know how many times I have to make this dish every day, but now, Wang Zhihe watched Chu Yang cook without even blinking his eyes, as if it was the first time he saw someone else cooking this dish.

Potatoes are washed and peeled. Although Chu Yang wants to cook, he can't let him do everything himself, like this, someone will naturally help him do it, and Chu Yang doesn't mind the help of these people, but in the key link, he naturally won't let these people stretch out their hands.

Under a burst of knife light, the three white fresh potatoes also became small pieces as uniform as beef, and then Chu Yang picked up the casserole with one hand, boiled it with oil, put the green onion, ginger, tangerine peel, star anise and other materials into the pot and stir-fried fragrant, put in the refined salt and light soy sauce to taste, and took out a small bottle from his body, unscrewed it, poured a little powder out and sprinkled it into the pot.

This small bottle contains a good thing, it is the colorful snow lotus that Chu Yang got on the top of the cliff last time when he was in Kunlun. After that, although Chu Yang refined the snow lotus into a beauty pill, it was not completely used, and there was still a little Chu Yang left, so he made it into a medicinal powder and carried it with him. Most people only know that this thing can be used in medicine, but they don't know that it is a top-notch ingredient. The ingredients with thousand-year-old snow lotus powder are naturally fragrant, and the food cleans the heart and lungs, nourishes the yin and nourishes the skin, and is definitely a great tonic.

It's just that it is estimated that not many people will really use this thing as an ingredient, even in the Wuzun Continent, the thousand-year-old snow lotus is a relatively precious medicinal material, and no one is willing to eat it like this. It's a loser like Chu Yang who uses Snow Lotus like this.

Wang Zhihe didn't know what the deputy county magistrate Chu had just unscrewed the small bottle and poured into it, but he just felt that as soon as the play was unscrewed, there was a strange fragrance, and the smell was refreshing, as if he had become a fairy.

He was a little surprised, but he didn't ask on the spot. After seeing the knife skills of this deputy county magistrate of Chu, he knew that the other party's cooking skills were not simple, and he was afraid that there would be a famous teacher to inherit it. And a chef like this usually has one or two secret hands, and the powder in that small bottle, Wang Zhihe estimates that most of them are this kind of thing. He wouldn't ask what it was, because that's a big no-no in the industry.

After Chu Yang finished adding these things, he put in warm water again, and after submerging the beef and potato pieces, he covered the lid.

Chu Yang is not a chef, but he is a cultivator, and he is a cultivator with a lot of knowledge. Chu Yang's current alchemy technique is already comparable to the second-order alchemist of the Five Venerable Continents, and he can easily refine these second-grade pills such as the Yangyan Pill and the Five Aggregate Pill. Every alchemist is a master chef in his own right. Because no one knows the nature of the ingredients better than they do. It's just that most alchemists don't bother to do this kind of thing.

Although the road to cultivation is long, every minute and second is precious, and no one is willing to waste too much time. On some things that are not beneficial to the practice. Only after reaching Dacheng, breaking the void and having an endless lifespan, those immortals will use some hobbies to pass the time.

Chu Yang has been an orphan since he was a child, in order to live, he has practiced good cooking skills since he was a child, and when he was in Huayinmen, he and his master Luo Qing depended on each other, and almost all the meals on weekdays were contracted by him. He likes to study these things, so naturally after a long time, he has become a master of cooking. It's just that after arriving here, he was busy cultivating and looking for the silent guqin every day, so naturally he didn't have much opportunity to show his hand.

And today, reunited with Ding Ting after a long absence, the two of them broke through the last layer of obstacles, and Chu Yang's mood was released. On a whim, I wanted to show her a hand to taste.

As for when I was in the capital before. Although Chu Yang also cooks occasionally, he is not as carefully prepared as he is today. It's just that with his cooking skills, even if he does it casually, it is always a first-class taste.

The blue flame licked the bottom of the pot, and after a while, the broth inside boiled open, and it made a "gurgling" sound. At the same time, bursts of rich meat aroma overflowed from the pot.

Smelling such a fragrance, everyone in the room couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

They are all people who soak in the kitchen every day. What delicious food haven't you ever seen? But at this moment, smelling the smell of this broth, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva one by one. It's no wonder that nothing else, it's really Chu Yang's pot of beef, which is stewed too fragrant.

After about twenty minutes, when the entire kitchen was already full of aroma and even overflowing, Chu Yang finally lifted the lid of the pot, and at the same time, his hands were busy for a while.

A big red tomato was cut into more than a dozen uniform slices by him, and threw it into the pot, and the emerald green coriander was pulled twice at will, and also thrown into the pot, and a few simple ingredients were thrown in, which suddenly made the aroma of this pot of beef increase by another level!

And at this moment, it was already the time to eat in the guest house, and waiters came in one after another to start serving dishes, but at this moment, these chefs were all attracted by the pot of beef made by Chu Yang, where did they have any intention to cook!

"Lao Wang, what good things do you make? Why is it so fragrant? Outside the kitchen, Lee Ming-che's voice suddenly came out.

At the same time, his whole body walked in.

"Li County?" Seeing Li Mingzhe coming in, Wang Zhihe immediately greeted him.

"Well, I'll come and see what good things you guys are making, why is it so fragrant?" As he spoke, Lee Ming-che walked into the kitchen, and saw Chu Yang who was holding a large iron pot with one hand and putting beef in a large bowl.

"Old ...... Chu County? How did you cook it yourself? Li Mingzhe saw Chu Yang, and his eyes suddenly widened, and the sound of "boss" had already rushed to his throat, and he finally realized that this was a public place, so he swallowed it back.

Chu Yang saw Li Mingzhe coming, greeted him with a smile and said, "Li County is also coming to eat." Hehe, my girlfriend came to see me from Yanjing today, saying that she wanted to eat the dishes I cooked, and I had to cook them myself. ”

Chu Yang was much calmer than Li Mingzhe, and when he greeted him, he didn't show his feet.

However, Lee Mingzhe is also very human, and after a moment of surprise, he immediately recovered.

I saw him laugh and say, "Haha, Chu County cooks himself?" It's a rare thing, let me see what you make delicious? Why is it so fragrant? Lee Ming-che said and strode over.

When he got closer, the aroma was so rich that it was like substance, which stimulated his saliva even more. He had a dinner today, and he invited a leader in the city, who was also his father's old subordinate. In the past two days, although Lee Ming-che seems to have done nothing on the surface, he has actually not been idle, and has been paving the way for relationships. He knew very well that it would not work without the support of a group of people.

Originally, he was passing by and was attracted by the aroma, but he didn't expect to see the scene of Chu Yang cooking in person, and he immediately became interested.

He only said that he wanted to try Chu Yang's food, but he was very clever not to ask who came, because he knew that Chu Yang didn't have more than one girlfriend.

Lee Ming-che took a spoon, scooped up a piece of beef, and put it in his mouth without worrying about it. This mouthful of meat immediately made his eyes wider!

Crispy, tender, fragrant, fresh...... Lee Ming-che chewed this mouthful of beef greedily, only to feel that his mouth was full of indescribable deliciousness, and just this mouthful of beef made him feel that all the delicacies he had eaten before had become garbage!

With Lee Ming-che's status, how many delicacies have you eaten? Even he has become like this, how fragrant is this pot of meat?

Seeing that County Magistrate Li didn't care about his image, he fished out a large piece and put it in his mouth, and the cooks, including Wang Zhihe, swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison!

They also wanted to be like Lee Ming-che, but they didn't dare.

After all, it was a dish made by the county magistrate!

However, the taste is so tempting! (To be continued......)
