Chapter 620: The "Olympics" of the Highest Level of Chinese Chefs
"Waiter."
Lin Jinyuan beckoned.
He was one of four customers who came to visit the new restaurant shortly after it opened.
"Hello sir, may I ask you any questions?"
Lin Qiyu, who was closest to his table, greeted him with a smile.
"Boiling water cabbage, Longjing shrimp, and yellow braised soft-shelled turtle, are they all new today? What does it taste like? ”
He looked at the dishes in the ordering system, and the visual effect was very impactful.
The word "delicious" is revealed across the screen.
But when people haven't eaten it, it's still customary to ask a question and listen to what the waiter said.
so as not to step on the thunder.
Lin Qiyu asked politely: "This gentleman, these three dishes are specially new new dishes for the opening of the new store today, the photos of each dish are taken in kind, and the taste is also very good. This boiling water is actually the clearest chicken soup, boiled with whole chicken, whole duck, ham and other raw materials, you can see after pouring the soup, the cabbage inside is like a lotus, very beautiful at the same time, the aroma of the soup is also blowing in the face, the soup is transparent and there are no impurities, this dish is not only very beautiful, but also has a very good taste, the cabbage inside is delicate and delicious, it is very refreshing, the soup is also fresh and soft, and it is better than all kinds of delicacies. ”
"Longjing shrimp is made with clear heart and green Longjing green tea and fresh West Lake shrimp together, the whole is fresh and soft, the shrimp is jade white, fresh and tender, the buds and leaves are fragrant, the color is elegant, there is tea fragrance in the shrimp, there is shrimp fresh in the tea, the taste is excellent, the taste is delicious, the fragrance is greasy, and the aftertaste is mellow."
"Braised soft-shelled turtle is a dish with soft-shelled turtle and fat hen as the main ingredients. The chicken is tender and fragrant, the soft-shelled turtle is soft and delicious, the taste is great, and it is rich in nutrition, which is not only a delicious dish, but also a nourishing product. ”
When Lin Qiyu introduced this taste, he naturally said his experience after tasting it last night, and it was not an exaggeration at all.
He was hungry when he smelled the aroma of those three dishes in the kitchen last night, and when he tasted it, he realized the taste of these three dishes.
The customer had been rushing to the food in the store, but after hearing the taste of the waiter, his stomach, which was not so hungry, suddenly began to scream.
Take a look at the price......
Oh my God, some of you're discouraged......
"Damn, this boiling water cabbage is 158 yuan, Longjing shrimp is 98 yuan, and yellow braised soft-shelled turtle is 158 yuan, it's really expensive!" After Lin Jinyuan saw the price clearly, he exclaimed.
A companion smiled and said, "You don't look at what kind of dishes these are, these are all famous dishes...... The price is more expensive, it is normal, if the taste is good, the price is absolutely worth, you must know that this boiling water cabbage is in other restaurants, but it is more than 300~"
"Don't just look at the price!"
Another companion said: "On holidays and rest days, we naturally have to eat something good, treat ourselves well, besides, let's have an AA system for the four of us, divide it equally, and it won't cost too much money, or let's order a yellow braised soft-shelled turtle, this amount seems to be a lot, and it is also very good." ”
"I think it's okay, let's see what else we have down there,"
Finally, the companion joined the ranks of ordering the menu: "Why don't we order some more moderately priced dishes, such as a nourishing fish soup for 28 yuan, and then a 68 yuan braised prawn in oil, braised meat with dried vegetables, and some lo-mei, how about it?" ”
Except for a few tables like Lin Jinyuan, who are entangled in price and cause slow ordering, most diners order quite quickly.
There is no problem with ordering food in the guest area.
So!
After the cold dish is served, the hot dishes are served one after another, and although there is a time interval between each dish, the speed of the dish is still quite fast.
Methodically, one after the other.
The number of dishes is not large, there are only ten hot dishes in total, and three of the new dishes are the finale.
There are only ten guests at each table in the guest area, and there are too many dishes to eat.
As soon as the dish was served, the guests all moved their chopsticks to taste it quickly.
Then they were all conquered by the deliciousness, and their eyes narrowed in enjoyment.
Ma Deqiang couldn't help but praise: "These dishes are very good, especially this Wensi tofu, cut the tofu into thin hair-like silks, light and white, this knife work is really fine!" The taste is also good, soft and mellow, melts in the mouth, and is not inferior to food! ”
Lin Dezhu echoed: "It's really good, this Wensi tofu, the mouth is smooth, as soon as it is in the mouth, the tofu melts at the tip of the tongue and slides directly into the throat, and the warm feeling spreads from the tongue to the throat to the stomach to the stomach and then to the whole body, and the whole body is smooth." ”
Wei Mingguo said with appreciation: "The Wensi tofu made by Boss Huang not only has a fresh and fragrant taste, but also a beautiful appearance. Looking at a bowl of Wensi tofu, the filamentous tofu floats and swims in the soup, like a white cloud, and the yellow of the shredded ham, the black of the shiitake mushrooms, and the green of rape leaves, like an ink painting. ”
The "high-value" Wensi tofu has extremely strict requirements for chef knife work, and this knife work is formed by nothing more than blocks, strips, slices, silk, dices, grains, ends, mud, and specific to silk, from coarse to fine, it is divided into five levels: bean sprout silk, match silk, twine silk, embroidery needle silk, and cow hair silk. ”
"This Wensi tofu is cut with tender tofu, if you want to cut the tofu shreds finely, the first step is to slice thinly, for Yangzhou chefs, knife work is "housekeeping", which is nothing. But the texture of the tender tofu is more delicate than that of "Sister Lin", and it can't withstand any toss after being cut into thin slices. ”
"If this sheet can't ensure the integrity of the shape, how can the filament begin? Therefore, for more than 270 years after Wensi Tofu became famous, the thickness of the shredded tofu in this dish has always been at the level of "shredded matches", and it was cut to the level of "shredded beef hair" after 1997. ”
In 1997, the Chinese Cuisine Association held the 4th National Cooking Competition in Beiping, which was the highest level of Chinese chefs "Olympic Games", Cheng Fayin was in his early 40s at the time. ”
The mystery of cutting a piece of tender tofu into thousands of strands of "cow hair shreds" is that before the knife, it must be sprinkled on the knife, so that the thin tofu slices will naturally slide down, which seems to be a natural action today, for the "craftsmen" at that time, it is indeed of epoch-making significance! ”
Therefore, this Wensi tofu has become the first spokesperson of Huaiyang knife work, but since then, Wensi tofu has become a "performance project", with the help of "Tip of the Tongue" and other big-name food programs, Wensi tofu has become more and more famous, and the tofu shreds have been cut more and more finely. But unfortunately, the diners who went there found that this dish can only be seen, and nothing more......"
"Fortunately, Boss Huang not only has knife skills comparable to Master Xue Quansheng, but also grasped the boiled clear soup that tests the chef's internal skills the most, thus creating a top soup dish for us."
This evaluation can be described as quite high!
While listening to the knowledge of the guests, they also respected Huang Tao.
Lao Qin shook the folding fan lightly, nodded and said: "Indeed, when cooking the soup, the ratio of various raw materials, how many kinds of rice to use when sweeping the soup, and the heat required when hanging the soup, each step will determine the final quality of the soup. ”
Wei Mingguo agreed: "Yes, the pursuit of clear soup is a kind of taste art effect of "thundering in the silence", it requires the chef to have a kind of "clothes and belts gradually widen and eventually deserve to be haggard", and the cultivation is the tranquility of "brilliant and dull", and Boss Huang is such a chef. ”
"Ah, it's served again."
Lao Qin's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he said with a smile: "It should be the nine-turn large intestine, let me tell you, the nine-turn large intestine made by Boss Huang." Not only is it delicious, but this appearance is also top-notch. ”
Speak of the devil!
As soon as Lao Qin's words fell, the nine-turn large intestine was really served.
A dead branch is drawn with caramel on the plate, and on the branches of those trees are placed five small sections of the nine-turn large intestine, which resemble plum blossoms.
"Yo roar, the presentation of the nine turns of the large intestine is too exquisite! It's a work of art! Lao Qin, you are not allowed to put down the chopsticks first, let me move the chopsticks after I finish shooting. Ma Deqiang said excitedly.
Lin Dezhu also echoed: "Yes, this is like a work of art, it's a pity not to take a photo and send it to the circle of friends, so Lao Qin!" You wait until we're done filming before you move the chopsticks~"
"Hehe~"
Lao Qin's heart at this moment can only be expressed by these two words.
Originally, Lao Qin didn't want to get used to the two of them, but after thinking about it, when they posted on Moments, wasn't it just advertising and promoting one or two for Boss Huang's store in disguise? !
So......
Lao Qin also took out his mobile phone, picked a good angle, took a photo with a "click", and then sent it to Moments.
Ma Deqiang: "......"
Lin Dezhu: "......"
What's going on?
Lao Qin, who was still very disdainful of them just now, why did he suddenly change his personality and take a photo of himself to post it on Moments?
Worried that Lao Qin would directly move the chopsticks and destroy the overall beauty of the nine-turn large intestine after sending the circle of friends, the two didn't bother to think about it, and directly picked up the mobile phone to find a good angle to take the photo, seeing that Lao Qin had already moved the chopsticks, they also immediately picked up the chopsticks to pick up a piece of large intestine, the taste is soft and porcelain, the outside is oily and fragrant, and after chewing, the very full taste and slightly chewy skin make people's brains shut down instantly.
I can't think of anything other than the delicious feeling.
Ma Deqiang said while eating: "This nine-turn large intestine is really good, the heat is quite good, Qin Lao, you can't do it, I went to your house last year, and the nine-turn large intestine you specially burned is not as delicious as this." ”
"The last time I made it was braised large intestines." Lao Qin corrected speechlessly.
Ma Deqiang: "......"
"It's almost, it's all large intestines, but your heat control is not as good as Boss Huang!"
Lao Qin: "......"
Life is already so difficult, some things should not be debunked in person, okay?
Besides.
He Lao Qin has a lot in his heart, and he knows that his cooking skills are not as good as Boss Huang, but he doesn't need you to bluntly advance him in front of so many people......
He doesn't want to lose face!
In a word.
Lao Qin said that he didn't want to deal with Ma Deqiang, and threw Ma Deqiang a disgusted little expression.
Ma Deqiang: "......"
