21, the whole pig banquet (above)
"Today, Master Ben will show you what a whole pig feast is. Pork is actually very tasty, but you won't eat it. If there was no pork, I don't know what would happen to the world. Jingwen said.
Jingwen was going to make the first dish next, and he first brought some pork belly, that is, the meat under the belly of a pig, which was a layer of fat and a layer of lean meat. Generally, this kind of meat is five layers of fat and lean meat, so it is called pork belly.
Jingwen said, "You go and help me boil a pot of water." â
The cook servants immediately went over and began to boil water in pots. And Jingwen looked at these stoves and said helplessly: "Grandma's, it's really difficult to do without gas." Don't know how to cook today? Originally, instant noodles were made by frying, which was much less technical. Today I'm going to use this charcoal to make a stir-fry, and I don't know if I'll be able to make it. â
At this time, there was no gas, and later generations used gas to cook, so Jingwen knew that his level was probably going to be very bad. However, there are conditions to go up, and there are no conditions to create zĂ o conditions, so it can only be so.
"Master, our water is boiling!" The cooks said.
"Okay, then look at it, I'll throw these pork belly into the pot and blanch them slowly for five minutes, which is a third of a quarter of an hour." Jingwen said.
Jingwen waited slowly for five minutes, and when the red pork turned white, Jingwen poured out the water in the pot and washed the pot.
Then, Jingwen heated the wok, and then put the blanched pork belly into the pot. During this period, because the pork did not have any feed, it was all ecological pigs, so these pork were not fat. Because of this, Jingwen quickly made the pork a little brown.
"Then, put sugar!" Jingwen said.
Jingwen secretly thought: "The sugar in this era is all brown sugar, it's so annoying!" It's all scum when it comes out. â
Jingwen had no choice but to settle down and use brown sugar to cook.
"See, wait until the sugar melts, and then stir-fry these pork belly people vigorously, so that the sugar is attached to the meat." Jingwen said.
The chefs were all watching Jingwen's movements seriously, whether Jingwen was the master or a peer, they had to study it seriously. Anyway, I have to cook for the guests in the future, and this is a good opportunity to learn quickly! If they don't study, once Jingwen dislikes them in the future, I'm afraid they will end more miserable.
"Next, add the soy sauce." Jingwen continued.
After Jingwen poured in the soy sauce, the pork began to turn a bright red color. The chefs found this braised pork very tempting and seemed to be very appetizing. Originally, they all thought that it was impossible to make any good dishes with pork, but now Jingwen's approach subverted their ideas and made them very curious.
Pork has always been cheap meat in ancient times, and now even ordinary people don't eat it. But Jingwen was able to make such a beautiful dish with pork. I don't know what it tastes like, but the way it looks immediately makes them feel very appetizing. As a dish, it is necessary to make people have an appetite first before it starts. If the dishes don't make people hungry, then I'm afraid you're a failure as a chef.
"Then stir-fry, you have to make all the soy sauce attached to the pork, so that the flavor is complete. If a piece is not fully attached, then I am afraid that the guest will have an opinion. Jingwen said.
Jingwen then put in a few spices, and then it was a plate of braised pork out of the pot.
"See? This is braised pork, you can try it later, and if there is anything bad, just say it. Next, I'll make another dish, and you can learn. â
Jingwen then took out some tin foil and asked, "What is this?" â
"Tin foil burned to the ancestors!" A chef replied.
"Go and go, don't mention any bad topics at this time. Now I'm going to use tin foil for cooking! In addition, this tin foil was specially made by me, and it was mixed with other metals to improve the melting point. This quality of tin foil can withstand charcoal firing without melting, which is also an important secret of our future restaurant. If you Kar spreads it out without permission, then you can see for yourself. My knife not only cooks, but also kills! Jingwen said.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The cooks hurriedly said.
Then, Jingwen marinated some pork ribs with various spices, then put them in tin foil and wrapped them in tin foil.
"You see, this time it's just that I'm in a hurry to eat temporarily, so I don't have enough time to marinate. If you open your doors in the future, you must marinate for at least one night, and if it is not enough for one night, you must not serve it to your guests. Now I have less than an hour to pickle, so don't do the same! Jingwen continued.
Jingwen wrapped the ribs in tin foil and burned them on a charcoal fire. After a while, the tin foil was slowly heated, but it was never burned through, which is the effect of the alloy.
After a while, Jingwen took out the tin foil, and then opened the tin foil.
"Look, now I'm going to brush this tin foil with my special baking sauce and re-wrap it. After wrapping, continue to fire for a while, which is about one-fifth of a quarter of an hour. In the future, you will have to control this time for yourselves. Jingwen continued.
Then, the ribs are grilled. Jingwen opened the tin foil, and a burst of aroma came out of it.
"Master Jing, it's so fragrant!" A chef asked.
"Yes! This is definitely a famous dish! â
"However, I just don't know if those big people can accept this pork dish!"
Those chefs talked a lot, they didn't expect Jingwen to be able to make such a beautiful dish with pork, and it was so fragrant. Just smelling the aroma is enough to make your mouth water. Even though those guys used to be Wang Shichong's imperial chefs, they had never seen such beautiful and fragrant dishes. If they hadn't known in advance that this was made of pork, I'm afraid they would have thought that some kind of precious ingredients were used!
"You go on, I'm going to make two dishes for you! You have to study hard now, or you won't want to be free then. Jingwen said.
Then, Jingwen took out something that surprised them.
