It was not for nothing that Gordon gave Hou Dasheng a week to prepare. A lot of French dishes www.biquge.info seem to be easy to make, but they actually take a lot of time. For example, gigotdeseptheures, seven o'clock leg of mutton.

It means seven hours, so this dish is made by marinating the leg of lamb with spices and then simmering for seven hours. Because it is stewed thoroughly, the flavor is very deep and delicate, and it melts in your mouth.

Confidecanard, or Confit Decanard, is a traditional dish that can be eaten all over France, but it was first found in Gascony in southwestern France.

Confit means pickling, and this dish is made by marinating the duck legs with salt and garlic for at least 36 hours to preserve the umami of the duck, and then scraping off the salt on the outside and roasting them in the oven.

tripes à la modedecaen, tripe stewed in white wine. It is a cuisine from Caen, a city in the northern part of Normandy, France, and is said to date back to the Middle Ages.

Beef tripe and carrots are seasoned with onions, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and then simmered over a slow fire with white wine, cider, and apple brandy, and simmered for at least five hours to produce a thick and mellow soup, and even stewed for ten hours.

Gordon's tastes are undoubtedly extremely picky, and if it is a temporary dish, it will definitely not be able to enter his eyes. In fact, this is also a small trick for him to refuse Hou Dasheng. Quite simply, I'm not without giving you a chance.

It's just that you didn't take advantage of this opportunity. But Hou Dasheng's performance in the kitchen side dishes made Gordon decide to put away his little tricks. Give Hou Dasheng a chance to be above board.

However, what he didn't expect was that Hou Dasheng was not cooking traditional French food.

"What is this?!" Seeing Hou Dasheng carrying a bag to the back kitchen, Gordon asked Hou Dasheng suspiciously. Because Hou Dasheng opened the bag, he saw that what appeared inside was a snow-white ingredient that looked like pudding.

Hou Dasheng smiled, raised his hand at Gordon and said, "Tofu." ”

"Tofu?!" Gordon repeated Hou Dasheng's Chinese, and looked at the tofu taken out by Hou Dasheng with some doubts: "Hou, I can't use ingredients of unknown origin here." Please explain it so that I can confirm if it can be used. ”

Hou Dasheng nodded understandingly, Gordon's restaurant is very particular about the source and origin of each ingredient. This must be explained before it can be used on the table. Otherwise, he would rather not use it than take any chances.

saw Hou Dasheng put the tofu on the board, and said softly: "This ingredient is called tofu." It is a soy product and is made in a simple way. The first thing you need to do is pulp the beans and let them solidify. It is the soybean milk that coagulates into a gel containing a large amount of water under the combined action of heat and coagulant. The end result is tofu. ”

"Tofu has existed in China for at least a thousand years. But alas, I can't find fresh tofu in France. So I made my own tofu. Hou Dasheng smiled at Gordon and said, "I make soybean tofu." ”

Gordon nodded, then pointed to the tofu and said curiously, "Can I taste it?!" ”

"Of course!" Hou Dasheng used a mold to circle the tofu into a round shape with corners, and then cut a small piece of the excess tofu out of it and handed it to Gordon. The latter curiously took it and put it in his mouth.

Tofu, also called water tofu. It doesn't taste much because most of its ingredients are water. But when you put tofu in your mouth, you can eat it with a faint bean flavor.

"The taste is wonderful, something like pudding. But it's softer than pudding, and it doesn't seem to have much flavor. Just a little bit of bean aroma. Gordon made a professional judgment very quickly, and Hou Dasheng nodded with a smile.

Although the tofu was handed to Gordon, Hou Dasheng's subordinates did not stop busy. He brought black truffle sauce and a square white porcelain plate. First, I made a beautiful plate with black truffle sauce, and then gently sliced the round tofu sliced with a mold into about 0.3 mm slices.

After that, it goes straight to the plating and smears the top layer with a layer of black truffle sauce. Then spread a thin slice of tofu. Then spread a layer of black truffle sauce on top of the tofu slices. There are six layers, and Hou Dasheng smeared the last layer of black truffle sauce on the top tofu slices.

Then he put a thin piece of gold leaf on the black truffle sauce. After doing all this, Hou Dasheng took the plate and put it in front of Gordon, who had been watching him cook.

"Gold leaf truffle mille-feuille tofu." Hou Dasheng smiled slightly, and whispered to Gordon: "Please taste." ”

Gordon nodded, but saw that he seriously picked up the spoon and gently cut the tofu open, picked up a spoonful, put it in his mouth, and tasted it. Then, instead of putting down the spoon directly, he took another bite.

After a while, he put down the spoon and looked at Hou Dasheng and said softly: "It's amazing, it's a very wonderful taste." ”

"I mainly took advantage of it, after all, there is no fresh tofu in France. So this flavor will make you a little more novel. But seeing Hou Dasheng smiled and said softly: "At the same time, you have probably never eaten the cold dishes made by Chinese chefs in this way." ”

Gordon waved his hand and said, "But that can't hide your cooking skills, this idea is already very good." In terms of taste, I was also amazed. Each spoonful has both the sweetness of black truffle and the fragrance of soybeans. ”

"The truffle used in Europe is traditionally shaved and sliced raw, and no one has ever thought that black truffles can be used in this way, the key is that after cooking, it does not make the ingredients lose their luster but is the icing on the cake."

Gordon showed a rare smile on his face, and said sincerely to Hou Dasheng: "What Ness said is not wrong, you are indeed a very talented chef. And you're working hard, and I've watched all of your performance these days. I appreciate you! ”

Hou Dasheng thanked him with a smile, and Gordon continued: "The presentation of your dish is also very good. Simple lines are drawn with black truffle sauce and deliberately left blank on the plate, and each layer of tofu is also decorated with black truffle sauce and topped with gold leaf. ”

"The gold leaf added brightens the slightly pale face of the tofu, brushes the dark spots of the black truffle, and the best thing is that the tofu is tasteless and the black truffle steals the show, sometimes this combination can easily make the black truffle take away the bean fragrance and only leave a sharp place."

Gordon looked at Hou Dasheng and said, "Your dish is amazing!" ”

"Thank you!" Hou Dasheng was not complacent, let alone had any other performance. He just sincerely thanked Gordon, and then his smile remained so gentle. Seeing this, Gordon couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hou, you are good at everything but lack some passion. ”

"Uh......" Hou Dasheng scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard this. To be honest, he couldn't deny it. You make a mercenary who is active on the battlefield and habitually carries knives and guns, kills people and sets fires show his passion for cooking.

This is indeed embarrassing Hou Dasheng. If he has a gun, go into battle. If Gordon follows him, then Gordon will definitely see his passionate side. However, you will only see Hou Dasheng's serious side in the kitchen. There's really no way he can show his passion in the kitchen.

"A good chef needs to have a passion for life and passion for his profession in addition to superb cooking skills. Do you understand?! Gordon looked at Hou Dasheng and said solemnly: "I'm looking forward to seeing you in the kitchen, with passion." I'm sure you'll have better ideas and better dishes that you will make! ”

Hou Dasheng thanked him again, and Gordon smiled and said, "Okay! To reward you for your creativity and culinary skills, I've decided to give you three days off! ”

"Uh......" Hou Dasheng scratched his head again, and Gordon squeezed his eyes: "Don't think I'm blind, almost every day since you went to work, you think beautiful blonde girls come to eat in the restaurant." Her eyes never leave you. Even though you spend most of your time in the back kitchen, she always finds you. ”

Hou Dasheng could only smile bitterly when he heard this, Lisa's stupid girl has been coming here to eat every day since he started working here. Benoit is now alone on the manor for lunch and dinner, and he has to make an appointment by phone to see his sister.

In fact, Hou Dasheng was also very helpless. He didn't want to be too special, but he would never refuse Lisa's love for him. Quite simply, anyone who loves you no matter how he does it. That's all a sign of his love for you.

Hou Dasheng has been brought up by his uncle since he was a child, and he is grateful for any care from such a background. Even if the other person's approach may be too radical, he will still be grateful.

"Your internship is over, and the week and the dish have proven yourself. That's why I've granted you a three-day vacation, and you can take your girlfriend to have a good time during these three days. ”

Gordon said, stood up with emotion and patted Hou Dasheng's shoulder: "It's good to be young!" I don't have a girl who cherishes me as much as she does. ”

"So, you have to cherish the girls who love you so much." Hou Dasheng nodded and said softly: "Actually, if you don't bring it up, I will also consider asking you for some vacation." I promised her that I would accompany her to the beach in Balombarjea to celebrate. ”

"Oh ~ Corsica?! That's a nice place, do you need me to give you some salary advance?! You deserve it. Gordon laughed, patted Hou Dasheng on the shoulder and said, "I appreciate you more and more!" ”

Hou Dasheng scratched his head embarrassedly, and said softly: "It's not necessary to advance salary, I still have some money myself." This time it should be enough......"

When Hou Dasheng left the restaurant after being busy, Lisa, who was not surprising, waved excitedly at Hou Dasheng in front of her mini car. She finally knew that it seemed too high-profile to come over in a Maybach, so she drove her beloved mini to find Hou Dasheng.
