Mr. Tao knows very well that the secret recipe of any party's unique cuisine can be said to be the hard work and lifeblood of a generation of famous chefs, the treasure of faction inheritance, and may even be the cornerstone of the rise of a food empire.

Therefore, although the old man was curious about how to make this white soup, which is known as 'the freshest in the world', he was actually just sighing. didn't mean to take out the secret recipe from Zhang Jin.

But it didn't come to pass, but Zhang Jin said the key very indifferently.

"It's hard to guess what's going on. You know what the ingredients are, and you can guess them by guessing them! ”

Seeing that because of his own words, Mr. Tao's eyes suddenly turned a little blazing and were about to turn into searchlights, so Zhang Jin didn't sell Guan Zi's game of 'you guess, you guess, guess guess'. Instead, it is to use even more detours to solve the secret of 'turning decay into magic' in a question-and-answer inspired way.

First question.

"You're literate, aren't you?"

As a result, Zhang Jin's first question almost didn't make Old Man Tao's nose crooked.

Although I'm just a chef, I'm also a celebrity chef. Do I look so illiterate?

If you don't know how to read or write, can you play the Chinese 'food culture' with such a deep cultural heritage to the peak?

Without a little culture, can you ascend to the throne of a big food pie?

If I don't have any culture and can't read big characters, can I develop this 'Imperial Restaurant' into such a big one?

Uneducated. When we first met, how did I talk to you about the "History of the Tang Dynasty" for 5,000 years?

If I don't understand the traditional culture of China, how can I be a 'hardcore emperor'?

Zhang Jin, a young descendant, is knowingly asked. This is naked contempt, and it is clearly an act of intent to find fault!

…………

"What do you say?"

Old Man Tao's words were as if they were squeezed out of his teeth, cold and murderous.

Although Old Man Tao tried his best to 'dress' himself into an angry-eyed King Kong who could deter demons. gave his fat face a little fierce. , Zhang Jin acted as if he didn't see it. What is fearless is still the faint tone of underbeating.

"Since you are literate, how can you write the word 'fresh' clearly, right? - Don't stare, I'm going to tell you about my soup again! ”

After holding back the anger of Old Man Tao with one sentence, Zhang Jin continued: "When our ancestors made the word name, they knew it, putting fish and sheep together, it is fresh!"

Why do fish and sheep come fresh together?

Because the fishy smell of fish and the smell of sheep are washed together, it will produce a taste that is neither fishy nor fat. This flavor is what we define as umami in its purest form. If you control the degree of fishiness and the degree of mutton, then you will get the purest 'freshness' without fishy smell and mutton smell!

It's like my soup.

Moreover, this soup with fish and mutton as the main ingredients, the fishier the fish and the more fat the sheep, the fresher the soup will be!

Therefore, I choose the male goats that have been shepherding and breeding for many years with the strongest taste as the 'main ingredient of mutton' in the soup, and choose the most fishy taste. The fishy smell is also the most correct fine-scaled shallow sea trash fish as the 'main ingredient of fish'.

Because the old sheep needs to be stewed for a long time to give full play to the flavor, the most fat old sheep's hooves and old sheep's kidneys are almost stewed. So I'm going to stew the lamb first. And use several Chinese herbs such as epimedium as ingredients to bring the taste of mutton to the extreme. It's the kind you smelled yesterday.

How's it going, isn't it unprecedented? ”

Reminded by Zhang Jin. Old Man Tao had the terrible smell of last night again, and he couldn't help but turn a little blue, his throat surged a few times, and he wanted to vomit. …,

Zhang Jin, who was deliberately like this, secretly laughed for a while, and then continued: "Then I used a few herbs such as houttuynia cordata to bring out the fishy smell of the fishiest sea miscellaneous fish to the extreme. When the two flavors reach a certain level of contrast, this pot of soup becomes the white soup sold today! Simple, right? ”

After explaining, Zhang Jin narrowed his eyes again and said in a rambling voice: "Actually, this idea of cooking is not my first creation. In Hui cuisine, there is a miscellaneous vegetable called 'fish bites sheep', which is the truth.

It's just that their practice of stuffing mutton in the belly of the fish can't fully utilize the fishiness and fat, and it's a bit of a waste. But speaking of which, it tastes good. ”

Saying that, Zhang Jin opened his eyes again, and after revealing a cheap smile, he lowered his voice and said thiefly: "And my soup has another benefit!" Even if the ram is old and weak, it is also a good material for supplementing men's yang essence and aphrodisiac effect. Absolutely great complement to men;

The sea miscellaneous fish increases the kidney water, and it is extremely cold and dry. Houttuynia cordata moistens the lungs and kidneys, and also has a nourishing effect on women;

So, my soup is not only delicious, but also contributes to the harmony between husband and wife! Otherwise, I'll leave you some more tomorrow, and you can try it too? ”

Seeing that Zhang Jin was talking like a senior master one minute ago, and the next minute he immediately became a lewd dealer selling 'strong pills' and selling 'I love a piece of firewood' on the street, and the huge difference before and after made the old man Tao, who was far from knowing Zhang Jin, stunned for a while.

…………

On the second day of the food exchange meeting, although it was not the Shangyuan Festival, although more people had to go to companies and units from 9 to 5 to accept exploitation and oppression in order to live. The food street where the imperial dining room is located has no weekday atmosphere, and it is still crowded, and the crowd is crowded with people who can 'wave their sleeves like clouds and sweat like rain'.

Because of the grand occasion on the first day of yesterday, news broadcasts and advertisements from various media such as television and newspapers radiated around Sijiu City. So today, there are more people who have just learned about the eaters, joining the crowded crowd on the long street.

And Zhang Jin's 'world's freshest' white soup is even more because of yesterday's robbery, as well as almost all the media's special comments and broadcasts, which made the soup stall crowded. It's a little more lively than yesterday.

Because good believers made a special trip to a gluttonous worm, they didn't believe in the name of 'the world' at all, and they planned to find fault after tasting it, scoffing at it, criticizing it, plus some half-believers, and planning to taste and appreciate it sincerely......

All kinds of people with all kinds of thoughts lined up in front of Zhang Jin's stall early in the morning.

Looking at the stall, twisting and twisting, there was a long line along the road, and the commander of the scene, the chief chef apprentice of Old Man Tao, began to worry, and his scalp began to numb again.

Yesterday afternoon, when the 'world's freshest food' was sold out, the almost out of control scene was still fresh in the memory of this chef who had seen the world.

Today, just looking at the situation this morning, we know that there will only be more customers in this stall than yesterday, not less than yesterday! Moreover, many of them came here because of the "beautiful words" of this soup from various media.

So, once this big vat of white soup is sold out again, people who haven't bought it may not pay attention to the 'just this jar, while it's sold out' sign hanging on your stall.

After waiting for this long time in vain, but I can't taste it, there must be people with a lot of anger, and the scene will almost certainly be more chaotic than yesterday, and it may even get out of control!

So, the head chef who was sweating all over his head saw that in the big vat, under the cooking of the low fire, the slightly tumbling noodle soup was lowering at the speed of 'flying down', and saw that the line in front of the stall not only did not shorten, but became more and more lengthy. …,

The chef who was so anxious had to make frequent phone calls, repeatedly telling the joint defense team, the police station, and the security teams of various restaurants to be ready at all times to deal with the big scenes that may occur later!

Therefore, whether it is the stall of 'the world's freshest', or the small hall on the top floor of the imperial dining room where the organizers who pay close attention to the situation of the stall, the atmosphere is unprecedentedly warm, warm and dignified and even depressing.

…………

Although because of his 'freshest in the world', he made his own stall a little tense.

As the stall owner of this focus stall, Zhang Jin has no sense of responsibility at all, and his attitude towards this situation is simply to turn a blind eye, and he doesn't plan to pay attention to this stubble at all.

Zhang Jin not only gritted his teeth last night, but he didn't agree to Mr. Tao's request to increase the supply of white soup, and today he resolutely refused the chef's request to stay on the scene to assist.

Zhang Jin's excuse is very reasonable: "I'm just a cook, I just need to get out the food and drink, even if the task is completed." Everything else, whether the guest likes to eat or not, as long as it doesn't poison anyone, it has nothing to do with me. What's more, people want to make trouble and smash the store. It's a problem of security, it's a problem of security officers, it's a problem of the explosion-proof police. What about me as a chef?

Besides, I have to boil soup all night every day, and I can't take a break, huh? So, you can work as much as you can, and I'll go back and rest." Otherwise, if you are tired and sick, you won't even have this vat of white soup tomorrow! ”

The two sides have their own arguments, with Zhang Jin's big victory and the defeat of Old Man Tao's master and apprentice as the final ending.

Therefore, on the second day of the 'food party', when Zhang Jin cooked a large vat of white soup overnight and put it out with the help of many people, Zhang Jin threw the task of watching the stall to the seven or eight apprentices sent by the head chef, and he himself sat in a delicate private room in the imperial dining room very leisurely, waiting for the arrival of a few foodies who were with him yesterday.

Today, Zhang Jin, the organizer and planner of the foodie action group, has formulated the theme of the 'Today's Foodie Tour' for the foodie group - 'Celebrity Chef Dish'!
