Chapter 441: Roast Duck in the Hanging Oven
() "This ......, since you brought it and did it to promote the program, it is naturally okay, you are here by chance today, there are a few apprentices who are full of teachers and are being assessed, if you are not in a hurry to eat, just follow me to take a look." Wang Sheng closed the menu and smiled like a spring breeze.
"It's such a coincidence!" Meng Feifei clapped her hands, and the three girls exchanged excited and expectant glances.
Meizi is more curious than them, what kind of delicious roast duck they are talking about?
A group of four people entered the backyard and saw four or five young people busy with their own work, and a few masters were supervising and watching with serious expressions, and they didn't even have time to look up at the people who came in.
"Now that you're here, I'll be the narrator." The smiling Wang Sheng led the three girls inside.
"Thank you, Chef Wang." Du Mei smiled lightly.
"You're welcome, Editor Du, it would be great if you could give a few more shots in your show so that we can show the inheritance of traditional skills." Wang Sheng has a pair of flying eyes, and when he looks at people, he seems to be always smiling.
"If my copywriting can be passed, I will naturally have to trouble you again." Du Mei shook the phone in his hand and said sincerely.
"What are you doing here?" Meng Feifei pointed to the busy people in the operation room, turned his head and asked Wang Sheng.
"The ducks are slaughtered outside, and now they are being scalded and colored." Wang Sheng looked up and said clearly.
I saw a young man in his twenties, repeatedly poured boiling water on the duck embryo on the hook twice, after such a hot scalding, the duck skin on the outer layer of the duck embryo instantly tightened, the pores protruded, and the whole duck shape was more full and firm, and then, and poured the duck body with a good ratio of syrup water, it was also two times in a row, and ensured that each part of the duck embryo was coated with burnt yellow sugar solution.
After seeing this step, they walked forward again, only to see a row of ovens in sight, Fu Xiaoxue couldn't help but ask, "This is about to be baked?" ”
Wang Sheng chuckled: "How can it be so fast, wait for the duck embryo to dry before it can be roasted, if according to the normal process, the sugar-colored duck embryo will be dried for four or five hours this season, and it will be longer in winter." Today is the assessment, so naturally I took Curry's ready-made ones out to bake first. ”
The three girls nodded thoughtfully, and Du Mei was busy taking pictures back and forth.
"Let's talk about the oven first, at present, on the market, the roast duck is divided into two roasting methods, hanging oven and simmering oven, we are hanging oven open flame roasting method, the furnace temperature can reach more than 200 degrees to 300 degrees, the fuel is jujube branches, of course, you can also use peach, apricot, pear branches instead, so that the roasted duck meat, there will be the fragrance of fruit wood." Wang Sheng pointed to the flames in the hearth and said.
Meizi noticed that a young man next to her was pouring boiling water from the knife under the wings into the sealed duck's belly, and finally used a brush to color the duck embryo again.
"It's soup." Wang Sheng happened to explain Meizi's doubts, and after a while, the young man took out the iron fork, and Wang Sheng continued, "Next, this is a hard work." ”
I saw that the young man carefully picked the processed duck embryo on the iron fork, turned around smoothly, and hung the duck embryo properly in the oven.
"Look, this roasting is also exquisite, the duck into the stove, must first roast the opening, the original boiling water in the duck belly quickly boiled, so that the effect of roasting outside and cooking inside, to achieve the crispy skin and tender taste."
Wang Sheng is a conscientious commentator, and he specially reminded the three girls to take a closer look at some small details.
Meizi followed all the way, and found that the eyes, ears and nose were not enough, this place was much bigger than the backfield of Meiji pickled vegetables, the bright ground, the bright desk, knives, kitchenware, shining eyes, Wang Sheng said, Meizi remembered it word for word, and his eyes were eager to see everything here again.
"How long does it take to bake?" Du Mei looked at the young man who was roasting the duck and turned the duck embryo in another direction, turned his head and asked.
"This is about half an hour, that is, two quarters of an hour, but because the duck embryo is large and small, the experienced master will judge the maturity according to the color of the soup in the duck's belly, if it is pink, only seven or eight times cooked, if it is light white, it is just right, if it becomes milky white, it will be over-roasted, and then it will be dry and woody, and it will not be edible." Wang Sheng said, walking over to the other oven and showing them around.
"I see that some places are already colored quickly, and some are still white meat?" Fu Xiaoxue couldn't help but ask.
"This is simple, like the thighs and under the wings, these places are not easy to bake, and when it is about to come out of the oven, just use an open flame to burn it and color it." When Wang Sheng talks about his familiar field, he is naturally full of confidence and knows everything.
As a few people were talking, they saw a roast duck in another oven freshly baked, the fresh fragrance was permeating everywhere, the duck shape was full and plump, and the jujube red color roasted from the skin was evenly distributed, and the luster was attractive.
"From duck embryo to roast duck, the production process is like this, as for the duck slices, let's go to the front, this is too hot and has to be cooled, after a while, I will make it for you once." Wang Sheng said, made a gesture of please, and led them away.
"Then we are both full of mouths and eyes today, and we can appreciate your exquisite knife skills, it is said that we want to invite you to come out on weekdays, which is very rare." Meng Feifei smiled at him, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.
"You are honored guests, so I will invite myself to be ugly." As he spoke, Wang Sheng waved his hand to the waiter next to him, who went down clearly.
Meizi followed behind them, turned around and glanced at the people in the room again, as if they had never seen Du Mei and his party come and go, they were still busy step by step, Meizi remembered the process of making roast duck in his heart little by little.
The four chatted casually for a while, and the waiter brought a whole roast duck and a long, narrow knife, as well as cutlery and condiments to accompany it.
Wang Sheng washed his hands, put on disposable gloves, put the duck breast facing up, inside the head and legs, and cut a knife horizontally on the neck, starting from the left breast, obliquely slice the first piece, and then slice the second piece on the right breast, so alternately left and right, and then follow the slice to the leg in turn. Each slice of duck meat is connected by skin and flesh, thin but not broken, and the shape and size are similar.
The plate sent by the waiter is a bright white plate, a flower stem is drawn on the right side of the plate, there are two or three green leaves on both sides, Wang Sheng rotates and stacks the duck slices under the piece, the red duck skin is matched with the pale pink duck meat, showing the appearance of a delicate and blooming rose, which is very delicate and eye-catching.
Wang Sheng has a fair complexion, thin lips and a high nose, when doing things, his face is calm and focused, his eyebrows and eyes are lowered, his long eyelashes are thick and straight, his ten fingers are slender, and the narrow knife is in his hand, which seems to have spirituality
Note that the man, under the bright light, is even more handsome and elegant.
"Taste it." Wang Sheng took off his gloves and said with a smile.
"Such a beautiful flower, how can people bear to eat it." Meng Feifei said a little tangled.
"I didn't mean anything else." Wang Sheng blushed suddenly.
"Pretentious, I'll eat a slice." Fu Xiaoxue picked up a piece and ate it, and couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows.
This...... Except for a little greasy, there is almost no taste.
"Wrap it in dough and eat it...... In this way, the crispness of the roast duck is combined with the freshness of the vegetables and the flexibility of the dough, and the taste is rich and delicious. Wang Sheng personally demonstrated and said as he did.
I saw him spread the dough in his palm, smeared it with sweet noodle sauce, put a little shredded green onion, cucumber strips, and two or three slices of duck meat, and then wrapped the dough and chewed it slowly in his mouth.
"Eating like this, it is really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, and mellow in taste!" Fu Xiaoxue painted the scoop according to the gourd, and after tasting it, she nodded again and again.
Plum sat in the vacant seat of the three girls, she could see, hear, and smell without being noticed, but she could not eat in public, so even though the food was present, she could not taste it, but could only listen to their comments on the taste.
Whether it is the color or the method of this roast duck, and even the novel way of eating, in the Dashun Dynasty, there is no food that can be similar to it, Meizi has secretly decided that she must make this dish after going back, she mobilized all her senses, leaving this memory, waiting to verify whether she is doing it right in the future.
Wang Sheng, as the head chef, was too busy, he sat for a while, and then was called away by the people in the kitchen.
The three girls slowly finished eating the "flower", and when Meng Feifei checked out, she was told that it had already been settled.
He ...... Isn't it interesting to you? Du Mei bit her lower lip, could it be that she really ate a blind date Hongmen banquet?
"It's not my aunt yet, I'm looking for a partner all day long, these old aunts don't know what to think, isn't the game fun, and it's not happy to be single? Why do you have to be tied up with another person to live a good life! Meng Feifei pouted.
"It's very handsome, educated, and the key is to cook, how good." Fu Xiaoxue teased.
"You can see so many advantages of him, so why don't you kick the scumbag at home quickly, why give up the whole forest for a crooked neck tree, my aunt is the president of the food association, and I dare not say it, as long as it is the chef you fancie, I have a way to get it for you!" Meng Feifei touched her nose and said proudly.
She said this very arrogantly, like a female overlord, which made Fu Xiaoxue laugh, and actually covered the hidden pain in her heart, Du Mei was still very nervous Meng Feifei said the wrong thing, but seeing that Fu Xiaoxue did not change her face, she was relieved to laugh.
The three of them made trouble for a while and continued to shop, Du Mei looked at the crowd of people coming and going in the market, frowning: "No matter how good the Peking duck is, it is not from Nanjing, and the price is expensive, I am afraid it will not resonate with the audience." ”
"What's so difficult about this, with me, how can I not find an authentic Nanjing-style roast duck?" Meng Feifei hugged the sisters beside her and said mysteriously.
"It's not going to be a blind date again, is it?!" Du Mei and Fu Xiaoxue glared, turned their heads and said in unison.
