Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 74 Taishou Banquet 3
Wu Yong didn't care about others, walked straight to Ren Laosan, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, how did the pig kill?" ”
Ren Laosan glanced up at Wu Yong, his hands kept moving, while picking the pork, he wiped a handful of sweat with his sleeve and said: "I thought that you should use meat in a hurry, so I killed a pig first, the big bones and backbones are stewed in the pot, and the meat pieces are also boiled in a pot, do you see if it is enough?" If it's not enough, let me know, and I'll go back and cook another pot. ”
Wu Yong gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Uncle still understands me, I'll go and see how it is cooked." ”
"Well, you go by yourself, I'm still busy dividing the meat here, none of these people are worry-free, not only can't help, but also always ask questions, delaying us to kill pigs, it's really annoying."
When everyone on the side heard this, they were a little embarrassed, they began to dislike Ren Laosan for not killing pigs, and now it is Ren Laosan's turn to dislike them for getting in the way, it is really a good reincarnation of heaven, who is forgiven by the sky, this is the blink of an eye, and the status of the two sides is exchanged.
Wu Yong is too lazy to take care of these bullying butchers, obviously they are all butchers, you live in Wancheng is more noble than living in the countryside? I don't know who gave them confidence.
When he came to the two stoves, Wu Yong stabbed the meat pieces with chopsticks a few times, and after making sure that the pork had been cooked, he asked people to take out all the meat pieces.
After that, I walked to another pot to see how the bones were stewed.
Poked a few times with chopsticks, but didn't poke through, then covered the pot and told the man to continue the stew.
When the big meat was fished out, Wu Yong asked people to send it to the kitchen first, and he came to Ren Laosan's side and sighed: "Uncle is now more and more superb in killing pigs, pork and bones are handled very well, the pork should be sliced, the shredded shreds, the ribs are also chopped, and the little nephew doesn't need to use the knife for a while, just cook directly." ”
Ren Laosan hehe Zhile, "I know exactly what dishes you want to cook, I don't look at those people who are idle, so let them help." ”
Wu Yong didn't expect Ren Laosan to do this, but he thought it was very good, saving those people from looking above the top and pointing fingers, but he asked with some doubts: "Uncle, why don't you deal with the pig's head and pig's trotters, I looked panicked." ”
Ren Laosan looked around carefully, leaned into Wu Yong's ear and whispered: "This pig's head and pig's trotters used to be things that no one wanted, and I estimated that those powerful gentry would not eat these two things, so I thought that instead of cheapening others, it would be better for us to ask for it, and go back to Fuwang to cook it for the villagers to eat." ”
Finding that no one was paying attention to this, he muttered in a voice that only he and Wu Yong could hear: "What's more, they looked down on us from the beginning, we always have to keep a hand, and we can't let them learn all the techniques of killing pigs." ”
After a pause, he said happily: "They just wanted to give me money, saying that they were thanking me for teaching them the technique of killing pigs regardless of my previous suspicions, but I confiscated it, and they were not happy." Then I told them that when I kill the pigs in the future, don't throw away the rest of the pig's head and feet, and keep them for me, and I will drink them with this stew. They all agreed, and said that they would personally send it to Fuwang when the time came. ”
Wu Yong looked at Ren Laosan in a daze, but he didn't expect him to look quite honest, but he was so calculating. This sounded the alarm for Wu Yong, and sure enough, he couldn't underestimate anyone.
Of course, he didn't say anything, after all, Ren Laosan still thinks about the villagers after getting benefits, and he doesn't know how many times better than those selfish people.
So Wu Yong gave a thumbs up and complimented: "Uncle is really far-sighted, and nephew is ashamed!" ”
Ren Laosan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm all careful about this, but I can't compare to you, my pig killing skills are still taught by you, not to mention the pasta passed down by you, the villagers have gained a lot of benefits in the past few days." ”
The two talked again, and Wu Yong asked people to send pork and ribs to the kitchen, and he also said goodbye.
After a while, Wu Yong returned to the kitchen and saw that the cooks on the stoves everywhere were busy. So he told them one by one to finish the dish in their hands and stop for a while, because he wanted to teach them how to make a new dish.
After a while, twenty cooks gathered. Because of the limited number of stoves, Liu Zongzheng's eight people in the house were divided into six stoves, and the remaining two cooks have been working as helpers for the other six.
The same is true of the eight cooks in the Anzhonghou Mansion, and the two extra cooks are the busiest.
The four cooks of the Taishou Mansion each have a stove, but they are so busy that they hardly have time to wipe their sweat without helpers.
Now when I hear that Wu Yong is going to teach them to make new food, I am both excited and at a loss, and I don't know which dishes to choose for a while.
Wu Yong saw that everyone had arrived, and said with a smile: "All the aunts have made great progress just now, and they have basically mastered the method of making bean food. Next, I will teach you how to make a pig feast, and I think this is also the purpose of your lord's family to let you come here today. ”
After half a day of contact, the cooks also knew that Wu Yong was very talkative, and some people asked suspiciously: "What is the pig banquet?" The main family just asked us to learn how to cook, and what exactly we should learn, the main family didn't say, and we didn't know very well. ”
Wu Yong couldn't help but be a little speechless, and secretly said in his heart: You don't know anything, so you came here to learn to eat. It is said that peers are light, and you are also chefs, how much you look down on your cooking skills!
Of course, this is what he thinks in his heart, and there is no need to say it, so he explained: "The pig feast is made of pork to eat......
"Ahh The crowd exclaimed, "Isn't this pork eaten only by the poor?" ”
Wu Yong doesn't want to listen to this, do you look down on the poor people, or do you look down on pork?
"You can learn if you want to, and leave if you don't want to."
At the moment, he didn't want to talk to them more, so he left a sentence with an expressionless face and began to prepare for a pig feast.
The cooks looked at each other, somehow offended the little chef, in their cognition, pork is cheap food, only those people who really have no oil and water to eat eat it.
Even the people would rather have no oil and water than eat pork, because this pork not only tastes greasy, but also has a foul smell, and dog meat is better than pork.
However, they were only a little flustered, thinking that the little chef in front of them was a character who had traveled too illusory, and before they came, the master repeatedly explained, trying not to provoke the little chef, and learning to cook too empty food, but it was not something that they could offend as a cook, so they walked up to Wu Yong together and apologized.
"I'm sorry, little chef, we apologize to you for what we just said, and you can teach us to cook a pig feast."
Seeing that they admit their mistakes, Wu Yong didn't want to be unforgiving, so he sighed: "Why do you think I'm angry? As a cook, you shouldn't deny any ingredients that you don't know how to handle, maybe you think pork is bad like the world, but you never thought you could make pork well?
After all, pigs are too common in the world, and it is a pity to waste them just because the pork stinks?
As a cook, you are in control of the kitchen, you should not watch the people waste it like this, you should find a way to make pork delicious and everyone likes to eat it, this is your responsibility as a cook, not just to fill your stomach and make food. ”
The cooks were stunned, it was the first time they had heard someone tell them that they were not cooking to fill their stomachs. Isn't the food you cook for eating, it's for seeing?
Of course, they just thought about it in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say it to refute the little chef in front of them.
Seeing that they were still at a loss, Wu Yong shook his head, sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll teach you to make a pig banquet first, let you abandon your rigid views on pork first, and I'll teach you to cook real dishes when I have time, so that you can see what the art of eating is." ”
Saying that, Wu Yong took out the boiled white meat in the basin, ordered a cook to come over, cut all the white meat into inch-wide meat cubes, and then smeared them with honey for later use.
Another cook came over, beat the cut meat strips, beat a few eggs, add water chestnut powder, grasp it with your hands and mix it evenly, and keep it for later use.
Then I ordered another cook to come over, add the chopped pork ribs, water chestnut starch and egg white, stir well, and keep it for later use.
In the end, two cooks came over, one cook beat dozens of eggs into half a pot of pork filling, added flour, and stirred well, while the other cook wanted to chop half a pot of green onions, ginger and radish.
After arranging these cooks, Wu Yong began to refine the lard, boiling it and explaining at the same time.
"After today, you should all know how to stir-fry. However, I still remind you that the oil used today is vegetable oil, and vegetable oil will be lighter when stir-frying, so it is better to add lard to mix, so that the stir-fried vegetables will be more fragrant. ”
After the lard was refined, Wu Yong added half a pot of rapeseed oil. Taking advantage of this effort, Wu Yong asked the chef to put all the chopped green onions, ginger and radishes into the meat filling, poured some from the spice powder she carried with her, and then poured in half a bowl of salt, and let them continue to stir.
After the oil in the pot was heated again, Wu Yong covered the wooden pot pat, leaving only a small opening, quickly put the square meat smeared with honey into the pot, and then covered the pot.
At the same time, he did not forget to remind: "You must be careful not to splash hot oil on your body when you fry the meat skin." ”
After a crackling frying sound, the moisture in the square meat was fried, and when there was gradually no movement in the pot, Wu Yong fished out the meat skin for later use.
Next, Wu Yong ordered two cooks and asked them to manually put the starched meat strips into the hot oil pot one by one, while Wu Yong kept turning them to prevent the meat strips from sticking, and made three pots in a row before the fried crispy meat was ready.
The same goes for fried ribs, which are quickly completed with the help of two cooks.
At this time, Wu Yong said again, "Fried pork ribs are not easy to taste and easy to store." It's also relatively simple to eat, add water and vegetables, and cook it a little to eat. ”
The last is fried meatballs, Wu Yong ordered three chefs to help with the pot, but it was still not as fast as one of his meatballs.
The first pot of fried meatballs came out of the pot quickly, Wu Yong asked every cook to taste it, and he also tasted one himself, and the taste was okay, the same taste as the meatballs of later generations!
The surrounding cooks are eating meatballs for the first time, and the crispy and chewy meatballs are an eye-opener for them, they never thought that the things made of pork could be so delicious, which really subverted their views on pork.
Watching one pot after another of meatballs come out of the pot, they are now admiring Wu Yong.
Not to mention how to make such delicious meatballs, this kneading technique alone is enough for them to learn for a while.
When the last pot of meatballs was left, Wu Yong instructed the man to remove the firewood, and asked the cook of the Taishou Mansion to find some relief buns.
After the meatballs come out of the pot, let them gently put the Jiewei buns into the oil pan one by one, and use the residual temperature to fry the outer skin of these Jiewu buns until they are browned and crispy.
