Chapter 115: Hainan Flavors
When the Huotou soldiers heard this, they all felt that it was too absurd, and they only thought that Lao Bai was grandstanding.
In their opinion, Chu Madness Knife is one of the top masters in the Tang Dynasty, and it is highly respected by the government and the opposition, even if Wu Bencao's qualifications are amazing, he is expected to reach the same height in the future, and at most he will be better than Chu Madness Knife.
How is this possible?
They didn't know the inside story, but General Wu had learned the power of that finger, and knew that Lao Bai was not joking, so he could only smile bitterly. What are the six masters? For Lao Bai, stretching out a finger can be stabbed to death.
"What the predecessors said is extremely true. Wu Gongzi's attainments and comprehension are superb, and he has received your teachings, and his future is immeasurable, and it is only a matter of time before he surpasses us ordinary people. The target he is chasing should be you. ”
This may sound like a sycophant, but it's actually heartfelt.
The firehead soldiers were tingling when they heard this, and they all wondered if they had heard it wrong, these words really came from the mouth of the famous Wuhou?
Wu Bencao concentrated on chopping the fish, too lazy to pay attention to their conversation. Everyone worked together and spent more than half an hour chopping the fish into large pieces for later use.
After all the preparations were completed, he walked to the pot at the far left end of a large row of stoves, ordered someone to add firewood to the fire, stir-fried the spices himself, and began to fry the fish.
"For the same dish, making a big pot dish is completely different from stir-frying a small plate, and you need to pay extra attention to many things. This is because the amount of the cauldron is too large, and it is difficult to heat it evenly, season it evenly, and maintain its shape after being put into the pot......"
While pouring a large pot of fish into the oil and doing the preliminary frying and shaping, he talked about his understanding of the big pot dish and discussed with these experienced fireheads.
The sergeants were speechless, and when they heard him point to the point about the key issues of the big pot dish, they were more confused than admiration. They don't understand how Wu Bencao can even understand these things at a young age.
How did they know that the young man in front of them was actually a human being in two lives, before he used to be a food anchor, he also served as a soldier in the army, and he heard the villagers in the cooking class talk about these things, and he just moved out to practice tonight.
“...... Therefore, the characteristics pursued by the big pot rice are different from the stir-fry of private chefs, it is destined not to be exquisite, it is fast, hygienic, and cooked, and it is necessary to take care of the public's taste as much as possible, which is more acceptable to most people......"
As he spoke, he had finished frying the fish in the pot, put in the seasoning and stir-fried, then poured in water and began to simmer. Then, without stopping, he went to the second stove next to him and repeated the process.
General Wu saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but persuade: "Childe, you have already demonstrated the cooking process to everyone, you don't have to work too hard, let them do the rest of the work!"
Wu Bencao didn't explain, and insisted on doing it himself, and stewed all the more than 40 cauldrons in the kitchen. By the time he had finished packing up the last pot, the fish had been stewed for almost two hours, and it was ready to be eaten.
It's almost dawn outside.
Wu Bencao was sweating profusely and was exhausted.
He stretched his waist and ordered the sergeant to go and serve the soup and return to General Wu and Lao Bai.
General Wu sincerely admired his will and efforts, and exclaimed: "I stand here, I feel tired after watching for a long time, but Gongzi still persists, with this perseverance, you will definitely become the top celebrity chef in Datang!"
Lao Bai had already squinted for a while, smelled the delicious fish soup brought over, opened his eyes and said sarcastically: "Okay, don't shoot these useless sycophants." My boss's craftsmanship is many times better than his knife skills, and I still need you to make him a top celebrity chef?"
With that, he took the bowl of soup, blew the steaming steam, and drank it in a snort.
He is willing to follow Wu Bencao, and his greatest wish is to drink fish soup and miss the time he used to spend with his deceased wife. This thick fish soup can calm his mind and feel the warmth and calm that he has not felt for a long time.
Wu Bencao stood beside him, silently looking at him drinking the soup, and could clearly see that his eyes were shining with tears.
On the other side, General Wu was also busy drinking soup, his face was flushed, and he was immersed in the warmth and happiness brought by the fish soup.
The Huotou soldiers also opened their meals in advance and couldn't wait to taste the craftsmanship of Wu Bencao.
"It's delicious! I'm not a sycophant, the fish soup stewed by Childe is really much more delicious than what we make!"
"That's true. I don't know what seasoning Childe added, why do I feel that there is a wonderful and unique spicy flavor in the soup?"
"I just saw that Childe took out a small jar out of nowhere and added some bright yellow and viscous sauce to the pot, it should be his unique recipe, right?"
......
In the end, it is the professionals, who have a more sensitive sense of taste, and in addition to praising the deliciousness, they quickly discover that it is different from ordinary fish soup.
After tasting the fish soup, they looked at Wu Bencao again, their eyes were full of admiration and admiration, and they couldn't wait to follow him as a cook, how could they still be half contemptuous.
Wu Bencao nodded, "That's right, I did add some seasoning to the soup, as for what it is, I won't tell you." It is different from the ordinary spicy taste, which can be further extracted and produce an endless aftertaste. ”
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but even if he says it, these chefs can't understand what Hainan special flavor is and what yellow lantern chili sauce is.
A few days ago, when Wu Bencao was cooking, he suddenly realized that if he took those unique seasonings in his previous life, such as Lao Gan Ma and oyster sauce, to this other world, wouldn't he be able to conquer countless diners like coriander?
On the other hand, if the system can bring modern kitchenware here, why can't it bring seasonings?
As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly asked Meng'er, and the reply he got was yes, but he needed to buy it at a high price. At that time, he was ecstatic and asked for a lot of spices in one breath to use in cooking Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
And the yellow lantern chili sauce is one of the flavors he wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat in his previous life. In this life, without the worries of physique and hemorrhoids, he eats with this spicy yellow sauce every day and never gets tired of eating.
"Now in the depths of the ice and snow, the sergeants want to eat meat second, the most important thing is to keep warm from the cold, so adding spicy sauce to the fish soup is an excellent choice. I think that even people who can't eat spicy food can't resist the temptation of it. ”
The sergeants were impressed, giving him a thumbs up and praising his creativity.
After General Wu put down the dishes and chopsticks, he took a long breath of hot air, heartily, and said with great interest: "The predecessor taught me the right lesson, I just said the wrong thing, with the cooking skills of the son, he is already the top famous chef!"
He has a rich background, he is accustomed to eating all kinds of delicacies on weekdays, and his appetite has become very dizzy, and there are very few foods that can be like this bowl of fish soup, which makes him feel indescribably happy, as if he has encountered a thousand-year-old wine, and the more he drinks, the more enjoyable he is.
This is just the method of cooking in a big pot, and he is very much looking forward to what wonderful flavor Wu Bencao will make if it is cooked carefully.
He pulled Wu Bencao out of the room and asked in a low voice: "Childe, which city do you plan to open a store in? When I arrive in the capital, I will definitely visit and taste your masterpiece again!"
Wu Bencao remained silent, but his heart chuckled.
From General Wu's words, a very important piece of information was revealed, the destination of this army was indeed Chang'an!
At this time, Lao Bai next to him opened his mouth and mocked: "What, do you want to gather a group of masters, and then go to me, a cripple, to repay the humiliation?"
Previously, in the Shuai camp, the most direct reason why he made a move and showed his power was that General Wu was unabashed, calling him a cripple and unabashedly contemptuous.
So, he stretched out his fingers, so that General Wu clearly realized that in front of him, what bullshit six masters are nothing more than that.
General Wu's face changed suddenly, and he shook his head and explained: "Senior, you misunderstood! Although the last general is not talented, he can also be counted in Datang, since I can't beat you, it makes no sense to gather more people." I still have this self-knowledge. ”
Lao Bai did not answer.
General Wu continued: "I never dare to have malicious intentions, but I am impressed by Gongzi's brilliant cooking skills, and I hope to have another taste in the future." In addition, I have a sister in Chang'an, and I want to take the time to let her see what a real chef is!"
