Chapter 80: The same thing
At this moment, as soon as the door opened, Master Liu came in and greeted the distinguished guests. Then stand next to you and chat with the guests.
Wen Yiming's nose moved slightly, looked at Ling Tiancheng's somewhat confused expression, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ling, this dish is not as simple as you see!"
After speaking, he scooped up the consommé with a spoon and explained, "The so-called boiling water is just a modesty, but it is actually a high-grade consommé, right?"
Master Liu's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect that he seemed to be the youngest but had the highest eyesight?
"Old hens, Jinling duck, wild mountain pig ribs, Jinhua ham, and good pure lean meat are made after at least one day and one night of slow cooking. ”
Wen Yiming looked at Master Liu and exclaimed, "If this is also called boiling water, it is too worthless, right?"
"Good!"
Master Liu couldn't help but applaud and said in surprise: "The distinguished guest really has an eye, all the raw materials are not bad at all, he is worthy of being Mr. Hu's distinguished guest, a real gourmet!"
"Gourmet?"
Ling Tiancheng almost laughed out loud after hearing this, and forced himself to say secretly: "This kid can really see people and talk about people, talk nonsense when he sees ghosts, pretend to be forced!"
Hu Jianmin laughed, although Chef Liu is a chef hired with a high salary, the relationship between the two is good, and there is no distinction between high and low in ordinary chats. When cooking reaches this level, money is already a foreign thing, and everywhere it is a million annual salary.
Wen Yiming put the spoon into his mouth, and the mellow soup base instantly conquered the taste buds, as if he was in a mountain farm, surrounded by chickens, ducks and geese, leisurely, harmonious and natural.
"Wonderful!"
Yan Sihai picked up a piece of baby cabbage, put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The seemingly ordinary vegetable leaves fully absorb all the essence of the broth, melt in the mouth, mellow and elegant, and the meat and vegetable combination is just right, admire!"
Ling Yuxin drank three bowls of clear soup in a row, her smooth forehead was slightly sweaty, and she suddenly had no sense of alcohol, she was refreshed, and her whole body was warm.
Chef Liu smiled and saw that several distinguished guests were satisfied with his cooking skills, which was the greatest achievement for him. Who is Hu Jianmin? He rarely entertains guests at home, let alone allows himself to cook, which shows that all of them are confidants and friends, and his status is extraordinary.
"Thank you for your love, this is the second dish, camphor tea duck, please comment!"
The second dish was served, Chef Liu briefly introduced, and looked at Wen Yiming expectantly, this young man is a real master, and he is looking forward to the other party's comments.
Hu Jianmin nodded secretly, a master is a master, and everywhere he goes is the focus. Chef Liu is not an ordinary person, his eyes are above the top, and he is also willing to go out of the mountain at the invitation of many parties, sitting as the executive chef of the hotel, helping to manage the hotel business of CCB.
Wen Yiming nodded, looked at the golden and crispy duck in front of him, and sighed again: "Good craftsmanship!"
"Four catties of fat male ducks, marinated in salt, Shao wine, pepper, pepper, and sesame oil, and there is a special secret recipe among them?"
Master Liu was stunned, his eyes widened incredibly, staring at Wen Yiming and said, "Please advise you!"
"It should be mash juice, right?" Wen Yiming said with a smile: "After the marinade is completed, use pine and cypress, straw, and flower tea, and smoke it over high fire." ”
Of course, the most critical recipe is indispensable, aged camphor leaves, which is also the origin of camphor tea duck. ”
Master Liu took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Admire, admire, since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, and when they met distinguished guests, Liu is really fortunate to have three lives!"
Wen Yiming waved his hand and said politely: "Master Liu doesn't need to be modest, your craftsmanship is extraordinary, and you can see magic in the plain, and Yiming is also admired." ”
"For example, this duck is only half of the steps completed just now, marinated and smoked and then steamed, tasted at high temperature, the meat is soft, and finally it can be fried!"
"The color is golden and bright, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, all the fragrances are firmly locked in it, and you can experience the taste of it when you take a bite!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, Ling Tiancheng couldn't help it, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and the expression of enjoyment on his face was overflowing.
Wen Yiming tasted it, and sighed secretly, this is the details to see the effort. It seems like a simple dish, but I don't know how much thought it takes?
No matter the selection of materials, the use of materials, preparation, cooking, to the final closing, all of them are refined. The ingenuity is unique, and each dish is a self-created delicacy, which is admirable.
Governing a large country is like cooking a small fresh, cooking and incense have something in common, both are the process of concocting ingredients through various treatments to turn them into delicious dishes.
Hu Jianmin is very satisfied, looking at everyone's expressions of enjoyment, he knows that today's thoughts are not in vain, whether it is red wine or food, they are carefully prepared by themselves, in order to satisfy the guests, especially Wen Yiming.
This young man can surprise people every time, unfathomable, and refined, as if nothing can stop him!
When the business reaches Hu Jianmin's level, wealth is no longer a consideration, and he can already do whatever he wants, and he has the ability to freely choose life for his hobbies.
Calligraphy, red wine, food, money is just the capital to achieve these spiritual enjoyment, it is rare to meet a confidant, this is fate.
"The third course is liver paste, Zhang Daqian's favorite, let's try it!"
There is a square red liver paste in the celadon bowl, which is fragrant, Hu Jianmin said with a smile: "Everyone should taste this dish, Mr. Daqian's favorite in his life, the master loves food in addition to painting in his life!"
Everyone looked at the boxy pieces curiously, and Wen Yiming picked them up and said: "The best pork liver is cooked, beaten into powder, and then steamed with chicken soup, which is oily but not greasy, and very tender." ”
"That's exactly what you said!" Chef Liu said, "Originally, this dish always looked bad, and no matter how you tried it, there were small water droplets on the surface, which was very unsightly. ”
Later, after unintentionally being instructed by others, and adding a small piece of cloth, the problem was solved, so this dish often reminded me that there is no end to learning. ”
After Ling Tiancheng finished eating the liver ointment, he exclaimed: "Master Liu's craftsmanship has been extraordinary, free from the limitations of the inherent cuisine, and has reached the realm of doing whatever he wants, Ling admires!"
This sentence speaks to everyone's heart, I originally thought it was eating Cantonese food, either seafood or soup and water, but I didn't expect to be surprised.
The taste is elegant, the workmanship is exquisite, and the color and flavor are good!
Especially the artistic conception, for the people here, only after reading the prosperity can they realize that the ordinary is the true meaning. At the end of a meal, not only satisfying the appetite, but also enjoying the spirit, this is everyone's demeanor.
Hu Jianmin patted his belly and said with a smile: "Do you have a big appetite?" Okay, the following is the main event, Master Liu was born in Cantonese cuisine, and the best thing is the freshness of Haihe!"
"Serve!"
Chef Liu smiled slightly, signaled to serve, and everyone looked forward to it even more, Cantonese cuisine pays attention to a fresh word, what kind of amazing delicacy will it be below?
