Chapter 231: Wrestle, Dad!
This plate of cabbage was buttoned down, and the onlookers, except for an exclamation, did not even have a reminder.
Several celebrity chefs gloated with schadenfreude, and Wang Tonglin was also silent, ready to see Bai Chang's appearance.
But Bai Chang didn't even turn his head back, the back of his head was like having eyes, and he directly reached out and copied the plate of cabbage in his hand.
The movements are extremely natural and smooth, as if someone else is handing him food.
Then, he glanced back and saw a white-bearded old man standing behind him, next to Wang Tonglin and several cooks, all staring at him.
He smiled slightly and said, "This is Mr. Wang, don't worry, Mr. Wang said that you like this dish very much, so of course I have to do my best to make it well, it will take a little longer, but then the taste will be enough." ”
Old Man Wang rolled his eyes: "Hmph, you guys just gang up to lie to me, you say, how long do I have to wait?" ”
"Probably...... At seven o'clock in the evening, you can eat. ”
"What, it's only four o'clock in the afternoon, and you want me to wait for a few hours? You bully an old man like this, your conscience ......"
Bai Chang smiled again and said, "Mr. Wang, to make this dish, there are high-grade, medium-grade and low-grade, and here with me, there is another superb, I don't know, which one do you want to eat?" ”
"The best, of course it's the best."
"If it's the best, you must have time to eat it, otherwise, what you are eating now is also inferior, if the taste is not good, then you will put a pot of cabbage on my head, I can't stand it."
The cooks' faces were red and white for a while, and Old Man Wang also laughed.
"Hahaha, it's interesting and interesting, so let's promise you first, no matter what you do, I won't put it on your head."
A chef had the courage to say, "Old man, you were not polite when you detained me yesterday, why did he ......?"
Old man Wang glared: "The young man is good-looking, I look pleasing to the eye, how can I drop?" ”
The cook shrank his neck and said nothing.
It's too heart-wrenching, it's just too heart-wrenching.
Hey, this world of faces......
Bai Chang turned around, ignored them, and continued to get busy......
About half an hour later, Bai Chang changed to a small ball with a slightly white color, put it in the soup pot, and continued to absorb impurities.
This time it was longer, a full hour.
But by this time, the soup had become so clear that it really looked like boiling water, without a hint of oil.
Then, Bai Chang wrapped the remaining small balls in gauze and put them all into the soup pot.
At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This is the last step in adjusting the soup, stabilize the soup, and after about half an hour, all the umami in the soup will come out, and you can start cooking officially." ”
Everyone almost fainted, and he was busy for more than four hours, and this hasn't officially started......
During this time, Bai Chang was not idle, and he began to deal with the cabbage that was selected.
First, he put the cabbage in boiling water to break it, and then quickly bleached it with cold water to keep it crisp and fresh, then put it in a colander, took out a thin needle, and began to puncture the cabbage heart repeatedly.
After this step is done, the soup is completely ready.
Then, Bai Chang took a colander and used a spoon to pour the hot soup from the top of the cabbage.
The cabbage is heated, and gradually spreads into petals, and Bai Chang keeps in his hands, and uses the heat of the soup to slowly blanch the cabbage.
When all the soup in one pot was used up, he changed to another pot and continued to drench it slowly.
At this time, everyone knew why he wanted to make two-pot soup, and it turned out that it was actually this cooking method.
One chef couldn't help but say, "Hey, isn't it too hard for you to do this, why don't you put the cabbage heart directly into the soup pot?" ”
Bai Chang slowly poured the soup and said: "This cabbage heart is still raw, if you put it in the soup, it will dilute the taste of the soup, if you use ordinary boiled water to scald, it will be insufficient in taste, you know, the way of cooking, is not opportunistic, you fool the vegetables, the dishes will fool you." ”
Old Man Wang slapped his face: "Well said, well said, if you fool the vegetables, the dishes will fool you...... I said, how long will it take to eat? ”
"Don't worry, old man, there is still about half an hour, and the dish will be completely ready."
Before they knew it, everyone looked up when they heard the words, only to find that the sky outside was getting dark.
This dish, from noon, until dark.
If nothing else, with this effort alone, how can this dish fail?
Zhou Jun was also dumbfounded, and couldn't help but praise: "Such a pot of soup can be regarded as a first-class soup, but you only selected these few cabbage sums, isn't it a waste of so much soup?" ”
"Hehe, this pot of soup is really good, but the taste of the soup that has been poured with cabbage has changed, and it can no longer be used to make this boiled cabbage, if you make other dishes, it can be used to make broth."
What, Zhou Jun was even more surprised, these two big pots of soup are thick and sufficient, and after blanching the cabbage once, it can't be used?
With such harsh conditions, I'm afraid that no one in the whole country will do this now.
After all, no matter how powerful this dish is, it is just boiling cabbage, which is not worth a few dollars, and who is willing to spend seven or eight hours cooking such a dish?
After more than half an hour, the cabbage is blanched, and Bai Chang spreads the blanched cabbage sum on the bottom of the soup basin, then scoops up the remaining soup and slowly pours it in.
At this time, the soup is clear and translucent, the color is slightly yellow, there is no turbidity, no oil flowers, and the cabbage is spread in the soup, which looks like a blooming flower.
This is the highest state of boiling cabbage.
Although the name of this dish is boiled water, it is actually a clear soup, and the key lies in the method of mixing the soup.
The soup should be strong and clear, as clear as boiling water, at first glance, it looks like a few cabbage hearts floating in the clear water, and there is no oil flower to be seen.
But when you eat it in your mouth, it is fragrant and refreshing, the fragrance is strong and mellow, and the soup is thick, not greasy, not light or thin.
This boiled cabbage seems simple, but in fact, it is a very high-grade soup dish.
It's a pity that modern people are impetuous, and no one will cook it in this ancient way.
"Mr. Wang, this boiled cabbage has been completely done, so you have to wait for a long time."
Bai Chang put the soup pot on the table, and everyone looked at it together.
I saw these cabbage hearts, the leaves were falling, and the tender yellow leaves in the middle were slim, like a blooming lotus.
Old Man Wang couldn't wait to sit in his seat, looked at the pot of boiled cabbage, first scooped up a tablespoon of soup, and tasted it carefully.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Old Man Wang's face, and their hearts were raised in their throats.
This dish, Bai Chang took nearly eight hours to cook, this time, will it satisfy Old Man Wang?
However, Old Man Wang drank the soup in one gulp, and suddenly there were two uh-uh-uh sounds in his throat, his eyes were straight, and his hands were desperately clutching his throat.
Then, with a plop, he brought a chair and fell directly to the ground.
Wang Tonglin was shocked, rushed over to help the old man up, and shouted: "Dad, why did you fall......"
