Chapter 257: Cold Mixed Beans
Grilled vegetables, in many places, are called stews.
It generally refers to meat dishes made with spices and sauces, and generally speaking, every restaurant has a roast dish that can be harvested, and every chef has his own merits when making this thing.
Because the ingredients are more complex, the sauce is a little worse, which may cause a big difference in taste.
Therefore, cooking is also one of the themes that test the chef's skills.
Today is the second round.
Because of the last result, everyone's results are different, resulting in everyone's mood is also different.
Just like that Wang Xingfu, this time he only needs to play normally again, and he is one step closer to success, and then he suppresses the five people behind the 15th.
Of course, the worst mood is Zhang Jun.
The first time I didn't get a good result, the consequences were a ripple effect.
The next two times you have to play well to seal the game.
However, the second time this is a cooked dish, Zhang Jun has a bottom in his heart, and he has a complete set of spices in the configuration.
Spices, many of which are Chinese herbs.
In the land of China, the most comfortable use of Chinese herbal medicine is some old Chinese medicine practitioners.
According to the patient's condition, according to his own experience, he can purposefully prescribe a variety of Chinese herbal medicines, and then boil them with precise amounts of water, which can treat many incurable diseases.
In addition to its medical value, Chinese herbal medicine also has a variety of special tastes.
Some of them have a strong aroma, and after various combinations, they will produce a strange fragrance, and when they are added to the ingredients, after being boiled at high temperatures, the abnormal aroma will be integrated into the dishes, and it is very delicious to eat.
Therefore, many famous old Chinese medicine practitioners are not only skilled in medicine, but also experienced in cooking and seasoning.
When Zhang Jun was working as a cook in the north, he was fortunate to meet an old Chinese medicine doctor.
The old Chinese medicine doctor's surname was Mao, and when Zhang Jun saw him, the other party was almost ninety years old.
This ninety-year-old man is in very good health.
Especially in the mouth, when eating the hard beans made by Zhang Jun, he actually made the beans chew in his mouth. Zhang Jun was very rare to see an old man who could eat beans so much, so he was curious to observe on the side.
Jiehu bean is a cold dish.
The dried beans are lightly soaked in water and cooked until soft, then mixed with various seasonings.
It is a side dish that accompanies the wine and is generally served as a pre-dinner appetizer.
Although the skin of the bean is soft, it is still hard inside, and it can only be chewed by the good teeth of the diner, and those with slightly worse teeth cannot eat this thing at all.
At that time, this Mao Chinese medicine practitioner had been eating this section of the account for several days in a row.
Zhang Jun noticed that although the old man's beard and hair were all gray, the action of eating Hu Dou and the way he chewed were completely no different from that of a young man in his twenties.
Zhang Jun, a Chinese medicine practitioner, also knows this.
His Chinese medicine shop is on the street where Zhang Jun's shop is located.
At the entrance of the Chinese medicine store, there will be a lot of people lined up early in the morning.
Mao TCM generally only sees patients in the morning, and only hangs 30 numbers a day, never opening a number.
Then what kind of people who want to make up for the relationship, don't even think about it.
Dr. Mao heard that his skills were very good, and everyone trusted him, thinking that he was a capable person who could cure any major or minor illness, so it didn't matter if he lined up.
Therefore, many people who come here can only stay in a hotel near the Chinese medicine store for one night that night, and come to queue up early the next morning to register.
Mao's Chinese medicine is famous and makes a lot of money.
But he didn't accept apprentices.
Those who wanted to apprentice failed to seek more advice, and when they saw his good business, they could only sigh secretly, and they even said that probably this old man wanted to bring medical skills to Lord Yama.
Although Mao is 90 years old, his health is still as good as ever.
Every day at noon, you must drink two taels of wine, and then eat some side dishes or something, all of which must taste good.
Because he is very picky about the taste of food, Mao TCM often changes places to eat, and he wants to try anything delicious, uneaten, and fresh.
At that time, Zhang Jun had only been a cook in this store for a short time.
Because he is a cook from the south, his cooking method is very different from that of the local cooks, so Mao TCM specially came to try Zhang Jun's craftsmanship.
For gourmets to be able to taste their own dishes, Zhang Jun naturally can't ask for it.
But after a few days of observation, Zhang Jun found that it seemed that Mao TCM didn't seem to be very interested in the other dishes he made, but he seemed to appreciate the cold beans very much.
The recipe for this section of beans is actually very simple.
In addition to boiling dried beans, it is ordinary sesame oil, salt soy sauce and a little chili oil or something.
This is a simple dish in Zhang Jun's hands.
Zhang Jun wondered why it was favored by Mao TCM.
But Mao Chinese medicine seems to have a good preference for it, not only to order this dish every time, but also to take some away, saying that when you drink it at night, you will eat it with it.
Seeing that the other party liked this bean so much, although Zhang Jun was full of doubts, he didn't want to ask anything.
In this way, this Mao Chinese medicine doctor ate Hu Dou for a month in Zhang Jun's restaurant. Until one day, when he ordered a plate of beans to taste again, his eyes suddenly widened.
Then, he put down his chopsticks and spit out the beans he was chewing.
Seeing this, Zhang Jun was a little surprised, he didn't know what was going on at all, so he hurriedly stepped forward to ask the old man what the situation was, and Chinese medicine Mao raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Jun:
"You made this bean?"
"That's right?"
"All the time?"
"Of course."
Hearing this, Dr. Mao's face paused slightly, and after that, he was silent for a moment and got up.
Then, after taking out a banknote from his pocket and putting it on the table, he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, then turned around and left, and said as he walked:
"It's a good thing, but if it's cheating, it's a bad thing!"
Zhang Jun was inexplicable when he heard this.
At the same time, a nameless anger suddenly rose in his heart.
The charge of fraud was added to himself, Zhang Jun felt that it seemed to be a little too much, and it was indeed wronged. The ingredients of this section of beans are simple, and the ingredients are the most common and cheap.
It seems that there is no need to do this with this dish.
Zhang Jun is reluctant to admit the trumped-up charges.
So, he stopped Dr. Mao and said, "You make it clear, what a bad thing I am, but a cold bean, can I be cheating?" ”
