Chapter 254: Boiled cabbage

If the eight cuisines represent the breadth and profundity of the Chinese recipes, then the state banquet is tantamount to the essence of the essence.

"Boiled cabbage? Wouldn't it be too easy, I think I can do it, but can the teacher get by? Wouldn't it be too perfunctory. ”

He Yuzhu asked, if it was really a cabbage, then he would not bother to find Chen Bo to save the scene, this thing is almost as difficult as steaming rice in his eyes, that is, put the cabbage in boiling water and cook it up, at most put some effort on the plating.

"Do you think the boiled cabbage at the state banquet is simply boiled?" After reading the recipe list, Chen Bo knew that this cabbage was not simple.

"I don't know, I haven't eaten it." He Yuzhu replied frankly.

"Then if you change to a Buddha jumping over the wall, can you remember the recipe ratio and the cooking order of each step?" Chen Bo thinks that time is limited, and this guy will probably give up, and he will have to take the make-up exam tonight, so he can only do some surprise speed.

"I think I can do it."

"If you are a ghost, you will boil cabbage."

Seeing that the other party did not play according to his own routine, Chen Bo took it upon himself to teach boiled cabbage, after all, he didn't know how to jump over the wall, and he hadn't eaten it, and many of the ingredients were unfamiliar with the name, and he didn't know if the taste was good or bad, and the risk was too great.

"Okay, listen to you."

"One pound each of pork, beef, and chicken, and a fresh descaled carp."

"There is no new one who is scaled, and all that is fresh is scaled." He Yuzhu made a difficulty.

"Then it's fresh, and I'll go later." Chen Bo didn't bother with this kind of problem.

"Okay, I'll buy the fish, let me see what other ingredients there are, and let's go along the way."

"Goji berries, gone." Chen Bo confirmed the list of dishes and checked it with the real thing.

"Roger, right away, wait for me."

"I'll do it first, out of the way." Chen Bo was in a hurry, thinking that he would go back to church early to catch up on sleep and fill in the pit of his studies in the evening.

He Yuzhu insisted: "No, I want to watch you do it, and then you teach me step by step, otherwise I will miss any details, and the things I make will not taste like that, and the teacher will not buy it." ”

"Okay, go early and come back early."

I thought that this trip would go out for at least ten minutes, and Chen Bo could study the cooking steps carefully, but I didn't expect this guy to move very fast, and the phone screen came back before he could unlock it.

"Do you have wings?"

"No, someone just wanted to make boiled fish, so I bought it from him for double the price."

"What about goji berries?"

"There was one who wanted to make health tea, so I asked him for some."

"Oh, it looks like the heavens won't kill you."

When the ingredients were ready, Chen Bo admired them comfortably, put on his gloves, and was eager to try.

"You go to wash the vegetables, as long as the cabbage in the middle of the cabbage, it should be slightly yellow."

He Yuzhu was puzzled: "This dish is not very big, as long as there are not many slices in the middle." ”

"Whether you are taking exams or eating, it doesn't matter if you eat enough or not, the taste in the middle is good, if you want to cook a whole cabbage, I won't be responsible for dropping out of school."

"Okay, listen to you." He Yuzhu stopped arguing and honestly washed the dishes.

"Remember to massage the cabbage to familiarize yourself with your muscles." Chen Bo teased in a wandering manner.

"Huh? How does this work? ”

Seeing that He Yuzhu was serious, Chen Bo said nonsense: "The kind of foot washing, the strength should be great, and the relaxation should be moderate, but remember not to pinch it out, and when you break it, you must break it completely, understand?" ”

"Roger." He Yuzhu obediently did so, and asked the other party if I was satisfied with this strength while kneading and beating the cabbage.

There are only three suitable pieces of cabbage, and He Yuzhu, who has rough hands, also cracked one when he broke it, and Chen Boman carelessly soaked the only two remaining cabbage leaves in cold water and turned his head to process the meat.

"Pick a little finer, leave some fat, and use it in the soup later."

Chen Bo blanched the cut meat in a pot under cold water and turned it to low heat and simmered slowly, slowly scooped off the scum with a soup spoon, during which seasonings were continuously added to improve the taste, supplemented by wolfberries as garnishes, and repeatedly screened with a colander, leaving only the stock part.

The cabbage is also cooked in the same pot under cold water, scooped up, put into the previously cooked stock, and finally served on a plate.

"What are you doing with chopsticks?"

"Thinking about putting a peacock on the table, I found that the cabbage couldn't stand up, forget it, just get a flat boat." Chen Bo was so angry that he sank the cabbage to the bottom of the soup, and at the same time stirred it angrily a few times.

"This is like a flat boat, and it is clearly a cabbage floating on the soup." He Yuzhu doesn't have that artistic conception, and he doesn't understand the subtlety.

Chen Bo patiently persuaded him: "Minced meat vermicelli is also called ants on the tree, why can't this be called a leaf boat, a chef who can't tell a story is not a good cook, and he can't use professional terms. ”

He Yuzhu scooped a bowl with a soup spoon, with an indescribable expression on his face, and then picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in his mouth, chewing it for a long time.

"How? What does it taste like? ”

"The soup is meaty, and the cabbage is cabbage." He Yuzhu saw another piece of vegetable leaf in the shape of a single figure, so he simply picked it up and put it in his mouth, this time he didn't chew it, but swallowed it directly.

Chen Bo couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Isn't this nonsense, is it possible to cook something else?" ”

"Yes, there is a faint smell of goji berries." He Yuzhu added untimely.

"How did you finish eating the cabbage and still want to try the taste."

"Isn't there soup too?" He Yuzhu handed Chen Bo a spoon, who was indifferent.

"I've drunk the soup, the umami is enough, but it's a little tired, when you go back and cook it yourself, pick the fat and lean ratio again, and stew it for a long time."

"How long?" He Yuzhu asked if he didn't understand, and tried to quantify every step.

"Is there a time limit for the assessment?" Chen Bo remembers that the recipe mentions that it is best to take 2-3 hours, and this is how to make soup.

"No, but the teacher probably doesn't have the patience to watch me cook for hours."

"60 minutes, can you do it?" Chen Bo suddenly regretted choosing this dish, but seeing that he was full of interest, he seemed to be full of confidence, so he didn't say it explicitly.

"Am I just standing like this when I'm cooking soup?"

"Scoop up the scum or the soup won't be delicious, and you can also pull out the origin of this dish if you can."

"Isn't that a big deal?" He Yuzhu opened his mind and knew that he could draw inferences from one another.

"I think it's okay, let the teacher know the meaning of your choice of this dish, the sincerity is in place, and the performance score will naturally not be low." Chen Bo picked a large section of boiled cabbage from the Internet and gave it to He Yuzhu for him to digest.

"Stand up straight when introducing, speak generously and decently, skip the content you can't remember, pursue coherence, beautiful language, and rich body movements, but remember to scoop up the scum, which is the most important thing."

He Yuzhu tried to say it a few times, but each time he would forget different content, a 500-word introduction, and only remembered less than half of it in the end, he said to himself: "I don't think I'm like a chef, more like a critic who introduces food." ”

"It's good, the cook has to know everything."
