Chapter 152: Precise

Chef is actually right.

After all, even the recipes of later generations are recorded in many words, such as a little salt and an appropriate amount of soy sauce.

Only an experienced chef can make subtle adjustments to the taste.

It is this subtle difference that determines the final taste of the dish.

Therefore, the chef felt that unless Hu Changan could find a chef with similar experience to him, Hu Changan would not be able to reproduce delicious dishes just by relying on the recipes he gave.

However, Hu Changan smiled slightly and said, "If others can't reproduce dishes according to your recipe, it can only be said that your recipe can't do it." ”

"I want you to write the recipe, and the placement of the spices in it must be the most precise!"

"This is my special scale, please be sure to use my scale when weighing the spices."

As he spoke, Hu Changan took out a delicate small balance from the cabinet on the side.

This is a simple small balance that Hu Changan redeemed in the system, which can be accurate to the gram when weighing.

This can be said to be the most accurate measurement tool in Daming.

The chef looked at the delicate scales and marveled.

He knows the scales.

In China, the ancients used the balance for a long time.

When you go to the vegetable market to buy something, almost all the merchants have one hand.

But this is the first time the chef has seen such a delicate and small scale.

So many weights, I'm afraid they add up to less than one or two!

Looking at the chef's amazed eyes, Hu Changan also explained in a timely manner: "The quality of every weight here is the same. ”

"The mass of a weight is one gram, and the gram is a new unit of measurement, just like both, a unit used to express weight."

After hearing this, the chef also nodded, indicating that he understood.

After all, it's not that difficult to understand.

This scale, in fact, is just a precise scale.

Hu Changan saw that the chef had understood, and he was also relieved.

Fortunately, although there are many things that were not available in ancient times, the ability of the ancients to understand is still online.

Just dial it up, and that's it.

Next, Hu Changan pointed to the missing moment on the side and said to the chef: "Please pay attention to the time when you write the recipe." ”

"How long each dish is fried must be accurately timed according to the time on the leak."

Missing engraving is a kind of timekeeping tool in ancient times, and it is also the most accurate timekeeping tool in the Ming Dynasty so far.

The leakage uses the principle of drip timer, and the time can be accurate to the time of a drop of water.

And the time it takes for a drop of water to fall is not much different from a second.

In other words, the missing moment can be accurate to the second!

Originally, Hu Changan wanted to exchange a mechanical stopwatch from the system.

However, considering that the technology required for mechanical watches was too advanced, Hu Changan still dispelled this idea.

In case the mechanical watch is broken, it can be very cumbersome to repair.

Although Hu Changan has a manual provided by the system, he is not a professional watch repairer after all, and he may not be able to repair it well.

What's more, this mechanical watch is expensive.

Unlike modern quartz watches, no matter how you hit it, it's fine.

This mechanical stopwatch can neither enter water nor be frozen, so it can be said that it is extremely delicate.

In an environment like the kitchen, it's almost impossible to live without water.

Because this mechanical stopwatch is too expensive, Hu Changan had to dispel the idea of using the system and rely on himself honestly.

Fortunately, in ancient times, there were such artifacts that were missing.

Although the accuracy of this missing engraving is still far less than that of a watch, it should be enough for cooking.

The chef nodded his head.

However, at this time, the chef's heart was full of doubts.

"Hu Gongzi, I don't know what you want me to do when I write the dishes so accurately?"

The chef was really puzzled.

He had been cooking for decades now, and he had never heard such an outrageous request from anyone.

If you want to keep the recipe as a family heirloom?

But it's not like that.

This Hu Changan looks left and right, he is an ordinary scholar.

At most, he just loves business, and he doesn't look like a person who is keen on cooking.

If you want to talk about cost savings, the chef doesn't think it looks like it.

It is true that having a recipe can indeed replace him, but just now Hu Changan has already promised him a share!

Compared with Yicheng's profit and his salary, it is naturally clear which is higher.

So the chef thinks that Hu Changan is not necessarily doing it for money.

So what is Hu Changan for?

Chef really couldn't figure it out.

However, when Hu Changan saw this, he did not answer the chef's words directly, but only asked the chef rhetorically: "How many Sichuan chefs like you do you think there are in Yingtian City?" ”

"No more than ten, of course!" Chef replied triumphantly.

Speaking of which, he is not sleepy.

In the entire Yingtian City, a chef like him who is experienced and proficient in Sichuan cuisine, the chef feels that there are only ten when he is full.

Even, he is modest to say ten.

After hearing this, Hu Changan also smiled slightly: "Then how many Sichuan chefs like you think there are in Suzhou City or Yangzhou City?" ”

The chef thought for a moment and said cautiously, "I don't think so." ”

It's not a chef either.

After all, people go to high places, and water flows to low places.

Chefs with good skills are naturally rushing to Yingtian City.

After all, Yingtian City is the capital of the Ming Dynasty today!

In the capital, there is definitely more silver than in that small place.

At first, the chef also stayed in Suzhou City for a few years, and later heard that Ying Tiancheng had a high salary, so he came to Ying Tiancheng.

This time, the chef was reluctant to leave.

After all, Ying Tiancheng's salary is indeed higher than that of Suzhou City.

What's more, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven!

Not only are there a lot of new things in the city, but even the security is much better than that of ordinary small cities.

Many of the chef's peers have had this experience.

Therefore, the chef feels that there may not be a chef as skilled as him in a small place.

When Hu Changan heard this, he also smiled and said, "Since this is the case, isn't the matter obvious." ”

"My restaurant, the stage in the future is not limited to Yingtian City."

"If the business of this shop in Yingtian City is good, I plan to expand my business to the nearby cities of Suzhou and Yangzhou."

"After all, although there are not as many dignitaries and dignitaries in Suzhou and Yangzhou as Yingtiancheng, there are developed businesses and many rich and tycoons."

"They will definitely be able to afford my hot pot."

"Isn't it a fool to have money but not to make it."

"But there's not necessarily a chef as experienced as you."

"So, I have to get to your recipe."

"With gram-accurate recipes, even if the chefs there are not as good as you, they can perfectly replicate this wonderful taste."
