Chapter 8: One Hundred Thousand Mountains and One Hundred Thousand Tombs
"Where is your stove?" Cao Shu motioned to the other party and led him over.
"Follow me, follow me...... Come. The bearded man tried to pull out the kitchen knife, but he couldn't pull it off even a few times.
In the end, it was Xiao Er, who stepped forward and stretched out a finger to pick it gently, and the kitchen knife was picked out.
The bearded man looked at Xiao Er with shock, and muttered in his heart, this thing looks so ugly, why is it so strong?
Is it because you know that you are ugly, so you have to train out the day after tomorrow? If you are ugly, you have to work harder.
The bearded man muttered as he stroked his beard feeling good.
In fact, he is not much different from Xiao Er, and he is ugly enough, at most half a catty and eight taels.
The group walked to the croquette, and the bearded man flicked his sleeves and prepared to begin.
The matter here is too big, except for the diners who came in with them just now, there are already dozens of diners here, and after this incident, the number of people watching the play around is still increasing.
The manager is relieved now, what do you like, anyway, I'm just a hall manager, and I'm not a person in the back kitchen, and if something happens, I'll be scolded at most.
The bearded man was very skilled at picking up the dough and filling, and began to pinch the balls.
It's all filled with ready-made fillings, and it's easy to pinch out a pot of meatballs.
And the beard has been getting it for I don't know how many years, and his skillful skills and mastery of the heat are also in place.
Cao Shu looked at it carefully and found that the problem was precisely where the beard was too skilled.
It's because he's so skilled that he forgets even the most basic truth of changing the oil for frying.
This oil has been fried in other things, and it must be replaced with new oil in order to bring out the essential taste of the food.
The result was unexpected, as the fragrance began to spread in the air, Cao Shu's face became solemn.
It was because he didn't think about it before, but in fact, the old oil that has fried things will be more fragrant when he goes to fry other things.
The fragrance is really strong, but it is only dry and fragrant, and it may taste good, but in fact, it is not nutritious, but there are other harmful substances.
If Cao Shu was asked to cook this kind of dish, he would not be able to make it, because he could not ignore the substances that were harmful to people.
The beard was made quickly, and this time he was really careful, whether it was the filling or the frying, he was very careful to mix it.
The meatballs out of the pot are golden in color, like gold beads, and they look very beautiful.
The bearded man packed the balls in baskets and distributed them to the surrounding audience for everyone to taste.
Although it may not be accessible to everyone, at least most people can taste it.
"Delicious, whirring...... Delicious. ”
"Hiss, that's good, it's really fragrant......"
There are many people around who have eaten meatballs, and they have begun to sigh, and their taste buds are completely occupied by the fragrance of meatballs.
"You are almost invulnerable in making this pill, and if I am not mistaken, you should have been in this path for no less than ten years. Cao Shu sighed a little, it is worthy of being a well-known restaurant, and the individuals who come out of here are so strong.
"Yes, I'm the director of this stall, the kid will be able to see more clearly when he finds fault in the future, and hit the iron plate, right?" said the bearded man with a smile in the tone of a victor.
"Don't be in such a hurry, I haven't finished my sentence yet. Cao Shu chuckled and walked to the hot oil pot.
At this time, the inside of the pot was tumbling, and it looked like there was some black oil, and there was a lot of crumbs left in the oil, I don't know when.
"You're so familiar with croquettes that you can tell the temperature of the oil just by smelling it. Cao Shu first opened his mouth to praise, and without waiting for the bearded man to show a smug smile, he continued, "It's because you are too familiar that you have committed a few taboos. ”
"Big taboo? it's just a ball, what can be a big taboo, you don't talk nonsense to me, you know how to move your mouth, and you have the ability to blow it up." The bearded man sneered, he had been like this for so many years, and he had never heard of any taboos about croquettes.
The bearded man was very angry, if he hadn't been a little afraid of Xiao Er in his heart, he would have beaten Cao Shu a long time ago.
Being scolded by a young man in front of so many people, pointing at his nose like this, made his old face unbearable.
"Xiao Er, change the pot and new oil," Cao Shu looked at the beard, and his voice sounded very quietly, "Next, you have to see clearly, I will only do it once, how much you can learn, depending on your own talent." ”
"It is best to use the oil for frying food only once, because the second time it will be mixed with other flavors, although the oil is very fragrant, but it will destroy the most essential taste of the food, the chef's duty, that is, to bring the most essential taste of the food to the extreme, only in this way, the dishes made are delicious, in order to supplement the lack of substances in the human body. ”
Cao Shu said in his mouth, his hand did not stop, and he quickly began to chop the meat filling with a knife.
He used to use heavy kitchen knives, but now he has changed to ordinary kitchen knives, Cao Shu feels as if he doesn't have anything in his hand.
In a few minutes, the minced meat is completely chopped.
"Look carefully, it's time for me to reconcile, the reason why the auxiliary materials are called auxiliary materials is that the auxiliary main materials can better play the essential taste, but the light taste of the auxiliary materials cannot be lacking in the food. ”
Cao Shu used the existing condiments, the same as the bearded man's method, but the number of condiments put in was different.
Then Cao Shu began to knead the meat filling, and kneaded the meat filling as a dough.
The fist smashed into the minced meat, making a dull thudding sound, and the sound shook the bearded eye.
"This is your second taboo, that is, the meat filling is only adjusted with chopsticks, and the condiment cannot be completely integrated into the meat filling. The chef's hands are the most agile hands, which can make you clearly perceive whether the meat filling is completely integrated with the accessories and whether the taste complements each other. ”
With Cao Shu's kneading, the newly changed oil also began to bubble, and the temperature had risen, he grabbed the meat filling with the palm of his hand, and directly threw the entire meat filling into the oil pot.
"Sting"
The oil splashed everywhere, and the meat filling churned in the oil pan.
Seeing this, the bearded man's face turned pale, not because he was preached by Cao Shu, but because he was angry.
Originally, he thought that Cao Shu was so powerful, he should be a strong opponent, but he didn't expect the other party to throw the whole meat filling into it.
It's croquettes, not minced meat, okay?
If you throw it in like this, you can't form balls in the hot oil.
The bearded man didn't believe that someone could make balls of stuffed meat in piping hot oil.
"If you do this, the balls won't be able to form at all, I thought you would be good at cooking, but I didn't expect it, but you just have a better mouth. "The bearded man didn't scold, that's because Xiao Er was by his side, and he was still more palpitating with Xiao Er.
"yes, we threw the croquettes in one by one. ”
"If you throw it in like this, it won't blow up at all, how can you eat it?"
"I thought there was a good show to watch, but I didn't expect it to be a trust. ”
"What are they looking for?"
"You don't know yet, in order to increase your popularity, so that you can attract people. ”
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, the manager had a long-lost smile on his face.
I heard what the other party said before, and I thought it was a strong opponent, but now it seems that it is just a grandstander.
Cao Shu didn't pay attention to the discussions of the people around him, just looked at the bearded man and said, "Next, you have to see clearly." ”
He held a pair of chopsticks in each hand and quickly pinched them in the oil pot.
The bearded man almost didn't dare to blink, and he couldn't see the speed of Cao Shu's shot clearly, and he could only see a little afterimage vaguely.
When Cao Shu put down his chopsticks, the bearded man gasped, because in the oil pot, there were hundreds of balls of the same size floating in the oil pot.
The meatballs were fried in oil and tumbled, as if they were smiling faces, mocking the ignorance of the bearded.
The smile that appeared on the manager's face immediately froze, and he stared blankly, the meatballs were fried in hot oil, and slowly put on layers of gold, like golden armor.
"Do you know what that taboo is now?" Cao Shu asked with a smile as he flipped it in the oil pan with a colander and turned it in.
The bearded man thought for a moment and shook his head, he didn't know what he was wrong with.
The steps of him and Cao Shu are almost the same, except for the difference in the pot at the end, everything else is the same.
However, the bearded man is absolutely convinced of Cao Shu now, and he was ruthless and domineering before, and he can't see the slightest bit.
"Could it be because I'm using old oil?"
"The use of old oil can affect the intrinsic taste of food and can produce harmful substances, but it is not really a big taboo. ”
The meatballs began to come out of the pot, and Cao Shu motioned to the people around him, sent a plate or something, and began to gradually put it inside.
Cao Shu's speed was very fast, and almost in a few breaths, he had already swept away the balls in the oil pot.
Six plates, each containing nearly twenty balls.
These balls are all the same size, shining with golden light, like golden beads, and they are unusually bright.
The oil flowers roll on the meatballs, and the fragrance is overflowing, which makes people appetize.
Even the manager couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, this taste is so fragrant, it is worthy of the person who dares to go to Song Caifang to smash the field, and the high cooking skills are simply unimaginable.
"Little Er, distribute these balls. If you feel delicious, just shout at me that it's delicious. Cao Shu handed out the balls and left a plate on his side.
He pinched one first, blew off the hot air on it and put it in his mouth, and the aroma of the meat exploded on his taste buds.
The meatballs are soft and delicious on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is overflowing.
The bearded man also ate one, and after eating, he froze in place.
I have been making meatballs for decades, but I didn't expect that it was the first time I had eaten such delicious meatballs, no wonder people told me before that I wanted to teach him something.
"The taste is okay, right?" Cao Shu asked, his body was a little weak, this was because when he was cooking just now, he involuntarily used aura again.
After eating a pill, it didn't seem that the effect was very great, so he could only barely hold on, so that he couldn't be unconscious.
"Ah...... Is this still a ball? It's comparable to the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. ”
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious. ”
"What should I do if I can't eat such delicious meatballs in the future?"
"That handsome little guy, do you have a girlfriend? Do you think I'm a good fit?"
The woman who is very rich throws her eyes at Cao Shuzhi, and throws the autumn spinach over one by one.
The corners of Cao Shu's mouth couldn't help twitching, forcibly letting himself suppress the idea of escaping, smiling at the woman and shaking his head, rejecting the other party's spinach.
"Xiao Er, tell them that if they think what I make is delicious, they will stand here, and Chef Hu will go there if it is delicious. Cao Shu slowed down for a while, and finally could barely stand up straight.
