Chapter 202: When Cooking, You Can't Forget the Roots!
Master Fang is the master of Yin Shen Anbang of Yongning Mansion, as the saying goes, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion 100,000 snowflakes of silver, although Shen Anbang is not greedy, but the family property is really a lot.
And Master Fang, naturally, is not short of money.
His greatest hobby is eating, so he never treats his stomach badly.
There are not many dishes on the table, four dishes and one soup, and the two side dishes stir-fried are not unusual, but the other two are rare things in Yongning Mansion.
Vinh Ninh Province is located inland, far from the sea, and seafood is extremely rare.
On Master Fang's table, there is a sea cucumber, an abalone, and a dried scallop mushroom soup.
Liu Qingyue entered the kitchen.
The Ling family is the richest man in Yongning Mansion, and the merchants who come and go from the south to the north will naturally automatically deliver all kinds of ingredients to the door.
Therefore, there are not a lot of seafood from the south in the small room, but the distance between the north and the south is long, and there is no way to transport fresh goods, most of them are dry goods.
However, the things on Master Fang's table were not soaked in dry goods, but fresh goods.
I don't know how the merchant did it along the way, but he actually transported live sea cucumbers and live abalone to Yongning Mansion.
Naturally, it became a novelty.
Shen Fuyin came over to eat yesterday, Master Fang thought it was delicious, and today it is here again.
If there is no seasoning, according to the texture of the ingredients themselves, Master Fang will also be satisfied. But yesterday I ate a dish with a secret seasoning, and I ate it again today, and the taste is naturally different.
Master Fang was furious.
After entering the kitchen, Xiao Er also removed the dishes on Master Fang's table and served snacks and tea first.
Liu Qingyue took a bite of sea cucumber, and her eyebrows furrowed.
"Live sea cucumber is not easy to handle, this sea cucumber of yours is too hot, and the meat is hard, so it does not taste good after entering the dish. You can put it in when the water is about to boil, and the boiled sea cucumber will soften when you put it in cold water, you can boil it again, and then freeze it with ice water, so that the taste is good, soft on the outside and tough on the inside. ”
While speaking, Liu Qingyue processed the live sea cucumber and adjusted the sauce.
She didn't put too much seasoning, just used fresh onions, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, etc., and poured the cold sauce on the sea cucumber.
The dark sea cucumber, rich sauce, and bright side dishes are served in a pure white porcelain plate, which looks attractive in color and makes people particularly appetizing.
Xiao Er hurriedly served it.
Liu Qingyue disposed of the live abalone again, and sent it to the same place.
When the dishes on the table were ready, she looked at Chef Fu: "Although the seasoning can enhance the flavor, not every dish should be put in, some dishes have their original taste, as long as they are slightly concocted, they are delicious." When cooking, you can't forget the roots. ”
If you put seasonings in every dish, you will eat the taste of the seasonings, and you will lose the basics.
Chef Fu listened to Liu Qingyue's words, and a trace of shame appeared on his face.
In fact, he understands this truth, after all, after being a chef for so many years, his skills are still passable.
It's just that the dishes after adding seasonings taste better and attract more customers, so he forgets the fundamentals of cooking and blindly relies on seasonings.
The middle-aged fat chef looked at Liu Qingyue with a blank look: "Girl, are you really the new chef invited by Gongzi?" ”
At this moment, although Chef Fu felt a little lost in his heart, he was more admired.
Although this little girl will lose his position as head chef if he really comes, he can learn a lot from it, which is extremely important for a chef.
Liu Qingyue smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not here to be a cook, but I'll stay here for a while and teach you some dishes." ”
Chef Fu's eyes lit up instantly.
He looked at Pinqi for his affirmation.
Pinqi nodded, and Chef Fu felt stunned by the surprise that fell from the sky.
