It really is, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and bright.

Li Zhi never thought that when he was at a loss because the chef of the banquet could not be present, Rong Ling actually fell from the sky and appeared like a savior!

As the saying goes, it is better to come early than to come sooner, and the timing of Rong Ling's appearance can be said to be good.

There is still some time before the banquet begins, and if the chef is changed now, it may be too late.

So, Li Zhi didn't have time to explain to Rong Ling, but he put down the phone, didn't say a word, and immediately picked up Rong Ling and walked to the back kitchen of the hotel.

"Brother Li Zhi, where are you taking me?"

"Kitchen."

"Kitchen?"

What is fate!

What is providence!

What is fate!

Rong Ling can be regarded as understanding what the old saying is this time - there is nowhere to find when you step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.

She never thought that Li Zhi, the senior who helped her wash vegetables on the show, would be a hidden boss!

Looking at the hotel staff with such a respectful appearance towards him, it should be a pivotal identity.

After all, if you can take a person in and out of the Xiangwan Hotel without any hindrance, it is definitely not an ordinary person.

Rong Ling knew that this mission, she was determined to succeed again!

"Come, come, come! Let's gather! Because the previous chef was temporarily stuck in traffic and couldn't come, she was temporarily the chef's place at tonight's banquet! You're going to have to cooperate, you know? ”

"Yes!"

Rong Ling was taken by Li Zhi all the way to the main kitchen of the Xiangwan Hotel, although he didn't explain much, but Rong Ling naturally understood what was going on.

Although it is to catch ducks on the shelves, as the three-grade imperial chef of the Dajing Dynasty, I have never seen any big banquet, but it is a small banquet for thirty people sitting at three tables, which is of little meaning to Rong Ling.

"Xiao Ling, I know this matter may be a bit rushed, but I don't have time to find someone else right now. This is the recipe for tonight's banquet, if there is anything you need to do, just tell them. Two hours, ten dishes, please. ”

Rong Ling took the recipe handed by Li Zhi, and looking at the nervousness in his eyes, she immediately guessed how important this night's banquet was to Li Zhi.

Although she didn't know who was in the banquet or what it was about, she had to do a good job now that she had taken on the task.

Because, she is the three-grade imperial chef of the Dajing Dynasty, and in cooking, she will never admit defeat! It's the same this time!

"Brother Zhi, don't worry, leave everything to me!"

After speaking, Rong Ling turned around and put down the backpack on his body, took off his hat and mask, grabbed the chef uniform in Li Zhi's hand with both hands, turned around in a dashing manner, and with a "whoosh", the white chef uniform was already worn on Rong Ling's body.

The cooks present saw the faces of the people in front of them, and their eyes widened in unison.

They couldn't believe that the star who appeared on the screen would actually appear in the kitchen of the hotel, and it was right in front of their eyes.

"Oh my God, isn't she the same Rong Ling?"

"Yes, I watched her cook on the show, but I didn't expect her to come to our hotel."

"I was able to cook with celebrities! I'm not dreaming! ”

When the cooks saw Rong Ling appear, they whispered and were excited.

Rong Ling was already delicate, and this time, with this white chef's uniform, she was even more delicate and beautiful.

This made the hearts of several male cooks can't help but ripple.

At this time, they couldn't hold back the impatience in their hearts, and wanted to show their skills in front of Rong Ling.

So, with Rong Ling's order, the production of the dinner party officially began!

"Come, now I'll start dividing my labor! You two go prepare the ingredients! You go cook the soup and chop the vegetables! You're in charge of the meat! You can help me prepare the eight treasures for the rest! Let's get moving! ”

"Good!"

After Rong Ling divided the task, the kitchen, which was quiet just now, instantly became lively.

The sound of chopping vegetables, brushing pots, and clinking plates and bowls came and went, one after another.

And Rong Ling, who was standing in the position of the chef, was naturally not idle, what she was going to do at this time was the highlight of this dinner - Eight Treasure Gourd Duck.

This dish can be said to be a great test of the chef's skills, and even the whole duck deboning is not something that ordinary chefs can do.

But for Rong Ling, who has been an imperial chef in the imperial dining room for more than ten years, this step is not difficult at all.

I saw that she cleaned the fat duck that had been prepared in the back kitchen, and then, calmly opened her mouth from the duck's neck, cut the neck bone with a knife, and then immediately took out the whole neck.

As the neck was removed, the skin softened without support, making it easy for her to locate the duck's collarbone, which she then cut with scissors.

This is followed by the most important step – the separation of the sternum and backbone.

This step is much more difficult than removing the duck's neck bone. Because the bones in the duck breast and duck spine are complex, and the skin on the back is thin, it is easy to puncture if it is not handled well.

Therefore, when Rong Ling separated these two bones, he was extremely careful and cautious, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

She used a small knife to peel off little by little, and this separation was inch by inch, not daring to be fast, nor too slow.

It wasn't until the entire sternum was taken out that Rong Ling finally took a breath.

The sternum and spine have been removed, and all that remains are the legs and wings. These two parts are relatively much easier, and Rong Ling has done it with three strokes and two strokes.

In this way, a complete duck skin was successfully taken out.

"Come, give me water."

"Okay."

Rong Ling took a bowl of water handed by the cook and cleaned the duck skin.

Then, add green onions, ginger, black pepper and cooking wine to the duck skin, stir well, cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 30 minutes.

At the same time as the marinating, Rong Ling deboned the other two ducks, and then marinated them together in the same way.

At this time, the eight-treasure ingredients prepared by the chef for Rong Ling were already being processed.

The eight treasures are bacon, chestnut, shiitake mushrooms, scallops, shrimp, green beans and lotus seeds. The chef has blanched them together and poured them into a pot to stir-fry with the pre-soaked glutinous rice.

In order to ensure the taste of the duck, Rong Ling did not add too much seasoning to the eight treasures, but only seasoned it with salt and soy sauce to enhance the color, which added a bit of appearance while ensuring the deliciousness.

Thirty minutes later, the duck skin is marinated and flavored, and Rong Ling puts the fried eight treasures into the duck skin little by little.

After it is filled, it is sewn with a needle and thread, and finally, a cotton rope is tied in the middle of the duck to tie the duck into the shape of a gourd.

"Gollum-"

At this time, the water boiled in advance in the pot was already boiling, and Rong Ling put the tied duck into the boiling water to quickly set it.

After it is set, she puts the duck into the steamer and steam it for about an hour and a half to two hours.

Watching the duck into the pot, the most important top dish of this dinner has finally been settled.

Rong Ling's heart can be regarded as steady.

"Come, just let the duck steam it on high heat, and then, let's start making the next one, squirrel fish!"

Li Zhi stood at the door of the kitchen, watching Rong Ling arrange the production of the dinner in an orderly manner, and he felt a lot more relieved.

Seeing that everything was going according to plan, he did not stay any longer, but left the back kitchen and went to the banquet hall to take care of it.

But not long after Li Zhi left the kitchen, another familiar figure also quietly came to the Xiangwan Hotel......
