Chapter 6: Two people are invited to judge
Pork is relatively easy to handle, and the large intestine of the pig is really fishy, and it really takes a lot of effort.
However, this is not a problem for Fan Yu, he cleaned the pig's large intestine and put it into a pot of cold water to boil. Add more ginger slices and rice wine, and throw in a few cloves of ingredients, these things will increase the flavor and remove the fishiness, which can improve the taste of the pig's large intestine a lot.
On the stove on the other side, the pork has also been blanched. He took a casserole, ordered some less vegetable oil, and added a spoonful of starch sugar to the casserole. Caramel is maltose, which can also replace sucrose in cooking.
At this time, although there was white sugar, only the rich and noble could afford it. Ordinary people want to eat sweet, only caramel and some brown sugar.
In the back kitchen of Taibai Building, there is a jar of caramel candy, which makes Fan Yu not make a fool of himself.
When the caramel is put into the pot, it immediately rolls into a bubble when it encounters the hot oil, and there is a burst of burnt aroma.
Fan Yu raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly poured the blanched pork into the casserole and stir-fried. After turning over a few shovels, the pieces of pork are dyed red with sugar, which is very beautiful.
Add water to the casserole, just over the pork. The green onion and ginger ingredients were put into the casserole, and some soy sauce and rice wine were poured into it, sprinkled with good green salt to try to be salty, and then covered the pot with a lid and boiled over high heat, changed to low heat and simmered.
Waiting for Fan Yu's busy work, half an hour had passed, and a few people upstairs outside were waiting a little anxiously.
Shopkeeper Wu and the young guest stared at each other, and they didn't know what the situation was in the back kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, call your fellow and ask." The young guest drank a stomach of tea and couldn't sit still, so he said to the shopkeeper Wu: "It's okay for us to always wait, and I don't know how long this little brother will have to make the dishes ready." β
Hearing the guest's words, Shopkeeper Wu nodded yes and called a man.
When I asked, I found out that Fan Yu actually drove out Master Wang and others from Taibai Building, and occupied the back kitchen by himself.
Shopkeeper Wu said with a look of hesitation: "This little brother is really domineering, why is he so cautious, are you afraid that I will not be able to learn his craft from Taibailou." β
The young guest raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, "Seeing that he is so confident, maybe there are some means." β
"Alas, what kind of anger am I fighting with this young man, it is not as comfortable as the little old man who has a good rest in the back." Shopkeeper Wu then grumbled.
Before he finished speaking, he smelled a wonderful sweet fragrance and drilled into his nostrils.
"Huh!" The young guests naturally smelled this aroma as well, and immediately straightened up and inhaled, "Wonderful! The aroma is sweet and meaty, and there is no miscellaneous smell, but it doesn't smell like beef, nor does it look like mutton. Shopkeeper Wu, have you ever smelled what kind of meat this smells like? β
Shopkeeper Wu stroked his beard and refused to lose face, "The aroma is good, but this dish still needs to be eaten to know whether it is good or bad." If there is only a fragrance, it is only a faΓ§ade. The knowledge of this kitchen is not simple, just look at one dish, it must be full of color, aroma and taste. If there is one thing that does not meet the praise of everyone, it is a loss of standard. Although the taste of this meat lacks the slight smell of cattle and sheep, it is also inferior without its original taste. β
Granny Li, who was sitting at the table next to her, smelled the fragrance of vegetables at this time, and the expression on her face was a little more relaxed. She couldn't help but secretly call for luck, it seems that her righteous son is really capable.
secretly said in his heart, this old shopkeeper is still hard-mouthed at this time, obviously afraid of the good dishes made by my son. In her heart, she naturally favors Fan Yu, the righteous son.
Outside the door of the back kitchen, Master Wang and his two apprentices naturally smelled the fragrance of braised pork, and they couldn't help frowning.
"Master, this guy is obviously prepared!" The big apprentice groaned.
"And the person who came is not good, isn't it going to rob the master's position?" The second apprentice analyzed deeply.
Master Wang felt a lot of pressure in his heart, and waved his hand: "Get out of the way, how can your master and I be so easy to replace?" Bianliang has studied art for more than ten years, and he is a strong man everywhere, and he will be afraid that he will not be a young man! β
Fan Yu next to the stove didn't care about the thoughts of outsiders, he was burning the fire and cooking alone, and he was already sweating.
Pour vegetable oil into the iron pot, wait until the hot oil smokes, boil the green onion and ginger to bring out the fragrance, and then put in the cut fat sausage.
At this time, it is the most critical moment, the fire must be big, the oil must be hot, and the hands must be fast, otherwise the aroma and taste of the fat intestine will not be stimulated, and it will be a lot worse.
Stir-fry slightly, add the bamboo shoots and celery segments and turn them over a few more times, and finally pour in the sauce made of soy sauce and salt in the broth, and then drizzle a few drops of oil. Fan Yu didn't even dare to blink his eyes in the process, just for fear of messing up.
Under his careful care, this dish can be regarded as out of the pot without danger.
At this time, the braised pork in the casserole also emitted a thick bubbling sound, constantly spitting out the aroma of meat, and it was obvious that the soup in it had also been collected very thickly.
He extinguished the wood in the stove and divided the two dishes into four plates. Among them, the braised pork is all skin up, sprinkled with a few slices of coriander, and the square looks ruddy and crystal embellished, and the star green is eye-catching. The plating of the fat sausage is also arranged alternately with bamboo shoots and celery segments around the sauce-colored fat sausage, and some chopped green onions and garlic are sprinkled in the middle, but it is like a bonsai.
Fan Yu wiped the sweat from his face and said loudly outside: "Several, my two dishes have already come out of the pot, please judge one or two." β
Outside the kitchen door, the guys in Taibai Building were impatient to wait for a long time. Under the urging of the shopkeeper Wu, he has been up and down no less than five or six times, and his legs are sore.
At this time, he heard Fan Yu's greeting, and immediately said yes and rushed in.
When this guy saw the two dishes, his expression froze slightly. Not to mention anything else, at least the appearance and aroma of Fan Yu's two dishes are very good.
But the shopkeeper Wu upstairs was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to take a closer look, so he hurriedly took two plates and sent them upstairs.
Fan Yu also took two plates and went upstairs with the guy.
Master Wang and the two apprentices outside the door could only watch Fan Yu take the food away, but they couldn't taste a bite, which was very hot.
Upstairs, the shopkeeper Wu and the young guests, the necks of the waiters have become longer. When the man brought the two dishes to the table in front of them, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other.
Fan Yu also brought two plates up at this time, and said with a smile: "These two dishes, one is braised pork, the other is fat sausage, and I also invite this eldest brother and the shopkeeper Wu to comment." β
After speaking, he generously placed the two plates in his hands in front of his stepmother, Granny Li.
"Mother, the child's dish is ready, please feast on it." After Fan Yu finished greeting his stepmother, he turned to the guy and said, "Please also ask the store to serve two bowls of rice for my mother and son, okay?" β
The guy looked at the shopkeeper Wu's eyes, and hurriedly said, "No matter what the little brother is, I'm not stingy with Taibailou, I'll come later." β
Fan Yu regarded braised pork and fat sausages as a daily meal, but the young guests and the shopkeeper Wu were very shocked.
The young guest pointed to the braised pork with chopsticks, looked at the shopkeeper Wu with a little disgust, and hesitated: "This is the pork that the poor eat?" No wonder there is no slight smell of cattle and sheep, why have I never seen such a practice before. Shopkeeper Wu, you must have a lot of knowledge about this dish, can you solve my doubts? β
Shopkeeper Wu chuckled in his heart, worried that Taibai Lou would smash the signboard today, but he smiled slightly, "This kind of food for the Riba people must not be the taste of Bianliang." Didn't the guest officer want to taste it, taste it first. β
Immediately, the young guest stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of braised pork and stared at it. The three-layered five-layered flowers, which were red and trembling, oily and fragrant, aroused his appetite before he could eat it.
When you put it in your mouth and chew it a little, the pork will turn into a mouthful of meat scraps.
The young guest's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Oops! β
