Chapter 230: Boiling Water and Boiling Cabbage
At noon, the cabbage came to Wang Tonglin's home and began to prepare to make this boiled cabbage.
When the celebrity chefs invited by Wang Tonglin saw a large pile of ingredients prepared by Bai Chang, their eyes widened together.
Chicken, duck, pig trotters, ham and pork knuckle, abalone and scallops......
These materials are enough to make a first-class banquet at the table.
Is this really going to make boiled cabbage?
Someone guessed Bai Chang's intentions and said disdainfully: "He just wants to use these ingredients to make a soup for boiling cabbage, but, hehe......"
Another person continued: "This dish pays attention to the fact that the soup is as clear as water, the cabbage is fragrant and refreshing, and there are so many ingredients, doesn't it take away the original taste of the soup and fall inferior?" ”
"That's it, and I use so many high-grade ingredients to simmer cabbage, but unfortunately, it's a pity, when I make this dish in the store, I use broth and chicken essence, and it tastes very good."
"I think, the owner of this Baijia restaurant is also a guy who sells his reputation and reputation, don't you hear that the road is simple, and the way of cooking is also from complex to simple, too public, too public."
The cabbage was in the kitchen, constantly busy, listening to these whispers, but it was deaf, as if he hadn't heard it.
There's still a lot of work to do, and he doesn't have time to listen to those guys.
In fact, this boiled cabbage seems simple, but if it is really made according to the ancient method, the process is very cumbersome, it is said that just simmering the soup, sometimes even simmering for a day and a night, can be regarded as a great success.
Although it won't take that long now, in order to make this dish well, the necessary processes are not missing at all.
He first chops the chicken and duck elbows, rinses them, puts them into the pot, adds ingredients, and simmers.
However, for some reason, he used two pots and mixed the soup at the same time.
Then I broke the pile of cabbage and removed the outer layers, leaving only the most tender part of the pale yellow cabbage heart in the middle.
These are all selected high-quality cabbage, and twenty catties of cabbage finally only have a few yellow and tender cabbage hearts, which are stacked on the plate.
When the people outside saw this, they booed again.
"Sure enough, it's this set again, adjust the old soup, choose the cabbage heart, it is estimated that those abalone dried scallops are all flavorful, what is the difference between this and what we do?"
"Ahem, it seems that the fate of this pot of soup will probably have to be deducted from his head."
"Alas, young man, don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be forced to be struck by lightning."
"What do you mean by him making soup in two pots?"
"I guess I'm afraid that the soup in one pot won't be adjusted well, so I'll save a pot for later use."
"Hahaha, sure enough, there is no hair on the mouth and I can't do things firmly, and it's the first time I've seen a ...... with two pots for soup."
A few people were grinding and chirping there, but Zhou Jun didn't say anything, he had been beside him, observing Bai Chang's methods intently.
In the next step, Bai Chang really added abalone fillets, shredded white mushrooms and other freshness ingredients to the pot and simmered together.
This...... In addition to using more raw materials, his method seems to be similar to everyone else.
Zhou Jun put his mind at ease and shook his head silently.
In vain.
This is the conclusion he made to Bai Chang.
The process of making the old soup takes several hours, and it stands to reason that at this point, it is time to rest, and then wait for the time of the old soup to arrive, and then you can start cooking.
A few cooks looked bored and dispersed in a hurry.
But at this time, Bai Chang was still busy in the kitchen.
It's just that no one pays attention anymore.
Everyone felt that this time, Bai Chang's head was also destined to be detained with a pot of boiled cabbage.
Soon, half an hour passed.
An hour passed.
Bai Chang was still busy in the kitchen, and he didn't come out at all.
At this time, several celebrity chefs who were about to fall asleep began to feel that something was wrong.
Someone ran over to take a look, and it turned out that Bai Chang was constantly cleaning up the foam of the soup there.
"Haha, this one who lacks heart, does he think that this will make the soup clear?"
"Hey, I'm still too young, no wonder, what can a chef in a small restaurant in an alley understand?"
This time, there was less teasing and ridicule.
Two hours passed......
Bai Chang was still in the kitchen, but no one paid attention to what he was doing.
At this moment, Wang Tonglin and Old Man Wang walked over.
Far away, Old Man Wang was shouting nonsense.
"Hey, hey, just make a dish of boiled cabbage, my old man has been waiting for hours, you want to starve me to death, so that for an eighty-year-old man, won't your conscience hurt?"
"Dad, don't worry, the so-called slow work and careful work, especially this way of cooking, if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and the kung fu is ready to arrive, if you're hungry, why don't we eat something else to deal with first?"
"If I don't eat it, I'm going to eat boiled cabbage, if the person you found today can't do it well, I'll go on a hunger strike and starve me to death!"
Wang Tonglin walked over with a sad face, and when he saw Zhou Jun and a few people, his expression immediately changed.
"How's it going?"
"Mr. Wang, Boss Bai is still busy there, the pot of soup has been boiling for more than two hours, I guess, it should be soon."
"Oh, after staying up for more than two hours, it's still not okay?"
"This ...... Mr. Wang, in fact, a pot of good broth, boil for several hours, stay up for a day and a night, this is normal, some old shops, a pot of soup even boiled for decades. ”
Wang Tonglin also knows this truth, but his living father, he was clamoring to eat an hour ago, and if he really has to wait for a day and a night, I am afraid that he will be tortured to death.
Alas, it is said that old children and old children are true.
Wang Tonglin walked into the kitchen, and several cooks also hurriedly followed, squeezing their eyebrows one by one, and snickering secretly.
But when they saw what Bai Chang was doing, they were all stunned.
Bai Chang didn't know what to use, so he made a number of small reddish balls and put them in the soup pot.
At this time, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the soup pot.
The impurities in the soup, as well as the greasy stuff and the floating turbidity, rushed to adsorb on those small balls.
Slowly, the small balls turned into big balls, and Bai Chang picked them up, discarded them, and then continued to repeat them.
Several times in succession, the originally turbid soup turned out to be clear.
That's when the chefs began to be surprised.
This, what kind of trick is this, that kind of small balls, can actually absorb impurities in the soup?
Wang Tonglin and a few cooks watched in the back for a long time, but Bai Chang didn't even look back, as if he didn't see them.
Old Man Wang couldn't help it, and shouted: "Hey, you young man, you want to starve me to death, what kind of heart do you have?" ”
As he spoke, he picked up a plate of cabbage next to him and directly deducted it from Bai Chang's head......
