Chapter 40: Master of Road Cuisine
Aunt Xia's connections on this railway line are really not covered, when Zhou Zhou submitted the list to her, X164 was less than two hours' drive from Qingtang Station, and in such a short period of time, the logistics office of the Qingtang section actually prepared all kinds of ingredients that Zhou Zhou wanted.
In addition to the common vegetables, eggs, rice and flour oil, there are also a large number of pig's trotters, pig's head meat, pig water, and Zhouzhou's special request for mutton and the famous Yanchitan lamb chops.
Now Zhouzhou has not been able to obtain the top recipe 'Grilled Lamb Chop Porridge', but he also knows that Yantan lamb chops are the best quality mutton, and only such high-end ingredients are worthy of the high-end price of 'high-quality dishes'.
As usual, I met Director Wang of the Logistics Support Office of the Qingtang Section under the introduction of Aunt Xia, who was still a middle-aged fat man as usual, and the same as Director Liu of the Zhongzhou Section, when I saw Aunt Xia, I kept shouting at 'old classmates and old classmates', and when I heard that Zhou Zhou was the 'conscience chef' who has been recited by many netizens recently, I immediately stretched out my thumb and kept praising him.
Back in the car, Zhou Zhou called Chen Yan and Li Dazui, the two temporary cooks, to wash out some of the pig's trotters, pig's head meat and various pigs, put them into the old soup pot and marinate them first, and wait until the civil and military fire has been used, after the braised meat is stewed, it will be soaked in the pot and slowly tasted.
This is the third time that this pot of brine has been used, and if it is under normal circumstances, some salt and spices should be added to it, but since Zhouzhou has chosen to soak it overnight, there is no need to be so troublesome, just wait until the next time you use it to add it.
The addition of water and ingredients in the later stage is also the biggest feature of the old soup, and only the first person to boil out the old soup can finely grasp the amount of addition in the later stage.
Not to mention that Zhou Zhou still has a hundred years of experience, these experiences are a kind of experience, not to mention that it is difficult for others to obtain, even if he intends to teach, it also takes a lot of time, and it also depends on the talent of the learner.
In other words, someone got this pot of brine from Zhouzhou, and he didn't get his experience in adding and maintaining brine in the later stage; Even if he can use this pot of brine to make a good taste, it can't be compared to the braised meat he made himself.
In the original world of Zhouzhou, there are not hundreds of braised meat shops in a city, but only one or two often have the best taste, which is because people not only have high-quality old soup, but also have rich experience in adding and maintaining brine in the later stage.
After being busy in the kitchen, Zhou Zhou, who was hurriedly washing, returned to his lounge and lay on the bed and swiped his mobile phone.
Now he has to deal with hundreds of thousands of passengers a day three meals a day, every day is as tired as a dead dog, there is no time to swipe the mobile phone, but to complete the pre-task of the top recipe as soon as possible, if you don't use the network, I'm afraid it will be too late.
Zhou Zhouqiang opened his eyes, resisted the drowsiness of the attack, and clicked on a professional chef forum called 'Zhiwei'.
The name of this forum was told to him by Chen Yan, and according to this Nizi, there was a post about him in the forum that was on the hot search and attracted the attention of some professional chefs.
'There is one more flavor in the world, but the founder is a chef on a green train?' ’
When Zhou Zhou opened the mobile phone browser, this hot search had just dropped the top ten, click on the post and look, there are already tens of thousands of replies below, but except for the passengers on x164 will affirm his pickled vegetables, onlookers netizens and some industry insiders are very disdainful.
"The hot search is becoming more and more unbelievable these years, what kind of chef can there be on the train? Or not at all!
What else creates a new flavor, I phew! Is it true that our Chinese culinary masters are all given for nothing? ”
"Don't look at it... This must be the railway department being scolded by the passengers to the point of shamelessness, so they made up such a fake news, and the hot searches are all bought, right?
Those friends who posted to support the sailors, send a post to a few cents, can you bring my brother with me? ”
"Why don't you believe it, I'm from the Department of Economics of Tanglin University, my name is Chen Yuanyuan, and now I'm on the X164 train!
I don't allow you to insult a conscientious chef like Chef Zhou, don't believe the picture I posted, yellow cabbage, lotus leaf rice, braised pig's trotters, meat sandwich buns, which one is not the best food?
If you can't eat it, don't be sour, you deserve to be hungry! ”
"Yo, the current sailors have learned to pretend to be innocent girls in college? Upstairs, I'm afraid it's not a transgender person wearing a fat black silk foot on a size 44 heel, right? ”
"Haha, the truth upstairs, what kind of demons and monsters are the current water army?"
Zhou Zhou shook his head.
It's no wonder that these netizens, there have been too many fake news and fake hot searches over the years, even the brick family is in the opposite direction today and tomorrow, everyone is afraid of being deceived, how can they believe that a conscience chef can appear on the green train?
There are also some culinary professionals who have expressed their opinions, and they do not think that a chef from a chef school can have the cooking skills and innovation ability mentioned in the post.
The doubts from these professional chefs made netizens even more convinced that this was a fake hot search.
Zhou Zhou was a little angry, whether in the original world or in this parallel world, he was a young man with strong blood, how could he endure such grievances?
Anyway, it was originally meant to brush up on prestige, and by the way, it was just to slap the faces of these doubters.
I went directly to the 'Zhiwei' forum, registered a new user with my real name, and created a post titled 'The Taste of Brine, a Secret I Can Expose', and posted it to the forum.
The post explained in detail how the brine is boiled, how it is preserved, and how it can be brine all things in the world, and there is no hiding at all, each step is written in great detail, and finally a few finished pictures of braised pig's trotters were directly 'stolen' from Chen Yan's circle of friends, and then submitted and uploaded!
There may not be a truth in a picture, otherwise Yuanyuan, who has posted a lot of beautiful pictures, will not be questioned by netizens, but if you add Zhou Zhou's detailed explanation, this post will become very convincing.
After all, Zhiwei Forum is the largest professional forum in the culinary industry in China, and more than eighty percent of its users are insiders, and there are even special chefs, national culinary masters and famous gourmets in China who have been diving for a long time.
Today's hot search post about braised vegetables has blown up a lot of such 'big fish', they are all real insiders, and they are also a relatively objective group of people.
"I can't think of it......
It turned out to be true.
Brine, pickled vegetables, interesting!
There is also a dragon and a crouching tiger on the green train, there is such an interesting young man, how can my old man not meet him? ”
Zhang Zhouxuan closed the post published by Zhou Zhou, and his thick black eyebrows gradually stretched, with his eyesight, he could know that Zhouzhou's cooking skills were real after a few glances, at least eight or nine.
In recent years, some young people in the kitchen industry have become more and more impetuous, not wanting to study cooking, and thinking about becoming Internet celebrities all day long; I thought that this so-called 'conscience chef' called Zhouzhou was the same, and he wanted to post a few words of criticism, but he didn't expect that people were really capable, and he almost blamed the wrong person.
"Xiao Wuzi, where is x164?"
"Master, you are ......"
The middle-aged man standing behind Zhang Zhouxuan was stunned, a little unable to believe his ears.
Who is the master? It was the 'Road Cuisine Zhang' who became famous in China 30 years ago, and now it is a famous master of Road Cuisine in China!
It is said that road cuisine is a small road, and it cannot be put on a big table, but the master's 'drunken chicken' is an indispensable cold meat dish at the state banquet; and whether the state banquet is Lu cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, or Cantonese cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, the master's cold meat dish is irreplaceable.
As a master, he actually followed the other party after just reading a post posted by that kid?
"Master, X164 has passed Qingtang Station, and will arrive at Gelmu tomorrow morning."
"Well, has the nearest high-speed train ever gone to Gelmu?"
"Master, there will be a high-speed train passing through Chang'an in forty-seven minutes, and you can reach Golmud at one o'clock in the morning, but ......"
"It's okay, old man, I like to go early, go to the train station now, go to Gelmu!
In addition, I immediately booked a ticket for x164, from Gelmu to Tibet. ”
"Master, the high anti-...... of the Tibetan capital"
"Your master, I'm still tough!"
"But Gelmu is already very close to Tibet, I'm afraid there is no sleeper ticket master."
"Then buy a hard seat, speaking of which, my old man has not taken a hard seat in a green car for a long time, and I really miss it."
He Wuhuo: "......"
Master, what kind of demon is this?
