Chapter 91: The first eight products, the four town tables
In the afternoon, Jiang Yunfeng changed into a brand-new Chinese chef's uniform, solemnly tied his apron, and went to the special Chinese kitchen of the Criminal Department Mansion under the leadership of the maid. Jiang Yunfeng scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "How can it be compared to when you were young, you must have beaten Pan An and killed Song Yu when you were young." "Hahaha, stinky boy, you can really talk." The old man of the criminal department patted the shoulder of the extra freight, smiled and scolded, his face became formal, pointed to the counter behind him and said, "I have all the materials you want." Picked up a big white radish and said, "The apples of Yantai, Laiyang pears are not as good as the radish skin of Weifang, they were pulled out of the ground this morning, and the soil has no time to wash." He put down the radish and patted the aquarium next to him, and then said, "Golden scale red tail, Yellow River carp, absolutely wild, five catties in weight, just airlifted over, look, that fresh wildness." "Pick up a Chinese cabbage" Shandong Jiaozhou Chinese cabbage, only picked this morning, you see, the dew has not fallen. Jiang Yunfeng saw so many high-quality ingredients, and his excitement was even more surging when he was in charge for the first time in this life, and he firmly said to the old man of the Criminal Department, "Old man, don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint the ingredients you have worked so hard to find!" At this time, a man in a black suit walked to the old gentleman of the criminal department and whispered a few words in his ear before leaving in a hurry, and the old man said to Jiang Yunfeng with a smile after listening, "Young man, those old friends of mine have arrived, and the kitchen will be handed over to you, old man, I will go and drink a few cups of tea with those old guys first, and wait for you to serve the food." Girl, Xianzi said that you play the guzheng well, come and play a few ancient songs for a few of our old guys. With that, he left the kitchen with his hands behind his back.
"Sister, go ahead, I'm fine here." Jiang Yunfeng tried his best to separate his sister, if he asked Jiang Yutong to help, it was estimated that he would not be able to get the first dish at night. In the end, under Jiang Yunfeng's soft pleading, Jiang Yutong bit his lip and turned around and left the kitchen three times, "Hmm~~~ Finally left." Jiang Yunfeng let out a sigh of relief, picked up a chef's hat and brought it to his head, and the momentum of the whole person immediately became a mountain uplift, this is the feeling, the limbs are full of strength, the youngest Chinese chef in the history of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Grandmaster Jiang Yunfeng is back!
Taking a few deep breaths, Jiang Yunfeng was reincarnated, like a battlefield commander, and gave an order to the maids who came to help, "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, there are still two hours before entering the table, hang up the timer for me, tonight's banquet is Luoyang Water Banquet, eight cold and sixteen hot, a total of twenty-four dishes, divided into the first eight cold dishes, four town tables, eight hot dishes, and four sweeps." After a while, I will make eight cold dishes first, and you will serve them together, and then the four major town table dishes will be served, and after they are served, you will not touch the four dishes, and you will remove the old dish from the previous one on the other twelve hot dishes and a new dish, understand? The maids nodded in understanding. Then get moving! Jiang Yunfeng clapped his palms, and after giving the order, he also turned around and threw himself into the tense preparation of dishes.
As the sun set, the timer in the kitchen sounded, reminding everyone that it was time to sit down, Jiang Yunfeng found a maid and brought out the first eight cold dishes composed of spiced beef, spiced braised chicken, smoked dried fish, cold pork ear shreds, mixed boiled lotus root, open celery, cold noodles, and cucumbers. The maids walked through the corridor and finally came to a classical Chinese banquet hall, where eight cold dishes were placed on the round table one by one, and the old man of the criminal department laughed heartily. Greet a few old friends, "The dishes are on the table, they are all old friends, you're welcome, let's move the chopsticks." "Take out a bottle of wine that looks very old from under the table, wrap the white paper of the wine bottle is yellow, tear the wrapping paper outside the wine bottle under the puzzled gaze of everyone, because the age is a little old, the red paper that acts as a trademark has also faded, but the word 'Moutai' has been vigorous and powerful, the old man of the criminal department pulled out the cork, and the rich one was like an instant diffuse throughout the room, the white porcelain bottle, filled a few small cups in front of him, handed it to a few old men, and said with a smile, "Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, let's go a few brothers, Forty years old. The old man in Tang costume smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You~~~ Don't you look at your sister-in-law next to you?" The old lady of the criminal department, who was very temperamental, said with a smile: "I am happy to have a gathering of old friends today, and I have made an exception." "Raise the wine glass and drink it all, it seems that the old lady is young and the number one person." Sister-in-law's massive amount has not decreased back then, admire! The old man in the suit applauded. Mrs. of the Criminal Department waved her hand and smiled, "No, the years are unforgiving, and I am old." ”
"There, your demeanor is still the same back then, I still haven't figured it out after so many years, why did you choose him and not me?" If Jiang Yunfeng was present, he would definitely be surprised that the usually serious commander-in-chief would actually say such a thing.
"Haha, because I'm more handsome than you!" The old man of the criminal department handed Nagi Senzaemon a cup of Moutai, and then raised his glass, "Do a good job for Shuai." Several other old men also responded, and Nagi Senzaemon smiled openly, raised his head and drank it all.
Mrs. Punishment patted her old man and said, "Drink less." Then he turned his head to Erina, who was sitting on the other side of him, and smiled kindly, "Erina-chan, when you arrive at the Grandma of the Criminal Department, it's like going to your own home, you're welcome, eat more." Erina smiled and thanked her, lowered her head and began to eat, but the look of the young woman next to her made her feel restless, "Erina-chan, did that kid in my family bully you?" The young woman asked with a smile.
Erina replied embarrassedly, "No... Aunt... No, he didn't bully me... ”
"Auntie... Woo woo, it's so sad, it turns out that in Erina-chan's eyes, I'm too old to be a sister, only an aunt? The young woman pretended to cry sadly, that's right, this young woman is Jiang Yunfeng's mother, Han Fei, who had a relationship at the airport.
"Niece, why didn't your father come?" The old man of the criminal department asked. Han Fei's face changed, and he replied respectfully, "My father's body is really not suitable for traveling and traveling, so I will attend on my behalf, sorry, Uncle of the Criminal Department." ”
"Ah, Brother Han has been in poor health recently, so there is no way, such good wine and good food can only be enjoyed by a few of our brothers. Hehehe"
The words are divided into two ends, in the kitchen, Jiang Yunfeng is really making the first hot dish, and it is also the first town table dish, peony swallow vegetables, peel the white radish, change the knife and cut it into square strips, and then cut it into thin strips, soak it in light salted water to remove the bitterness of the radish, and at the same time really add a trace of saltiness, and then take out the dry level, pat the starch on the steamer and steam it, tear it by hand (remember not to knead it here, you must tear it apart, otherwise it will knead off the starch on the shredded radish and affect the quality of the dish), evenly stacked in the center of the large bowl, surrounded by crab meat strips, shredded ham, shredded tenderloin, Covered with a variety of mushrooms, the top is rolled into a peony flower pattern with fried egg skin, poured with old fire broth, and steamed again for ten minutes, and the vegetables are gone!
A maid came to the banquet hall with peony swallow vegetables, and the other maids had already removed the first eight cold dishes, "Please use the first hot dish 'peony swallow vegetables' slowly." After putting it down, the maid bowed and withdrew, everyone was attracted by the gorgeous appearance of the swallow vegetables, and they moved their chopsticks, Erina Nagi picked up some shredded radish with crab meat strips and sent them into their mouths, the ultimate delicacy spread on the tip of the tongue, no need for superfluous words, no need for gorgeous rhetoric, just two simple words are enough to express Erina's feeling at the moment, that is, 'delicious'!!
Everyone has not yet woken up from the delicious taste of Yan Cai, the maids also brought up the other three dishes, the 'Tiger Head Carp' made of Yellow River Golden Scale Red Tail Carp, the 'Sea Rice Sheng Baicai' made of Chinese cabbage in Jiaozhou, Shandong Province and the 'Honey Eight Treasure Rice' made of two-color glutinous rice Since then, the four major town table dishes have been served, on the other side of the rosewood round arch of the Chinese banquet hall, a beauty dressed in Tang Dynasty palace dress slowly walked to the back of the guzheng and sat down, and the melodious sound of the piano sounded, which means that the Luoyang water seat officially began. . . .
