Volume 2 Chapter 5 A Thousand Faces Banquet Behind the scenes

"You heard me right, and I didn't say it right."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "Doesn't Master Sun want to try to fry cucumbers with only oil?" ”

"Little brother, I understand, you're going to test my frying skills, right?"

After all, Master Sun is also a professional cooker, and after a little thought, he understood what Zhou Zhou meant.

However, he has a straightforward personality, but he is not unhappy because of this: "Cheng! Then I'll show my hand! ”

Soon, a plate of cucumbers fried in oil was placed in front of Zhou Zhou, and Master Sun smiled: "Try it, little brother...

But then again, this plate of fried cucumbers is a test of stir-frying, not taste.

If it's not delicious, you can't blame me, it's you who said you can only use oil. ”

"Hehe, it's really not very tasty......"

Zhou Zhou took a slice of cucumber with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it only before spitting it out: "This cucumber is actually very fresh, and there is no problem with the oil, but Master Sun, your skills in mastering the heat are not enough, and the knife skills are also poor, so the frying is not good!" ”

"Son, be careful when you speak."

Zhou Yujun frowned unconsciously, his son's gene really follows him, and he is even more crazy than when he was young.

Zhang Dehou didn't think there was anything, the countrymen were used to going straight to and on, which was not a straight intestine with something to say, but there were not as many twists and turns as people in the city.

"What? Little brother, you said that I have a problem with cooking skills and knife work?

What's the good thing about that, why don't you fry one for me to see? ”

was questioned about his professionalism, no matter how good Master Sun's temper was, he began to be a little dissatisfied when he heard this.

After all, Zhou Zhou is just a young junior in his eyes, and the chef on the train is not much more advanced than us, and you are not a special chef, so why criticize our cooking skills?

Speaking of burning a big feast, he is the first spoonful of Lan Qingshan, and Zhou Zhou's words hurt his self-esteem.

"Okay, then I'll fry a plate of cucumbers, and ask Master Sun to taste it......"

Zhou Zhou smiled slightly, took the pot and spoon, cleaned and put oil, and at the same time cut a cucumber into a thin cucumber slice like a cicada's wings, put his hand on the side of the pot to probe the oil temperature, and grabbed the cucumber slices and threw them into the pot.

"The knife work and the technique of controlling the oil temperature ......"

Master Sun looked stupid, after all, he had burned a big banquet for half his life, and he was also an expert, and he looked at it as a doorway.

He couldn't cut out such a thin and transparent cucumber slice, even if he could cut out so many slices with all his strength, it was impossible to cut a cucumber in an instant like Zhou Zhou, and each slice was the same thickness and size.

This kind of knife work is what he dreams of but can't ask for, at least it has to be the level of the special second, no, I feel that the style of the special level is also there!

As for the precise control of the oil temperature, Master Sun has only heard of it, and has never seen it with his own eyes, so naturally he has no ability to evaluate.

However, as soon as Zhouzhou's cucumber slices are cooked, there is an indescribable fragrance rising to the nose, which is exactly the effect that a chef can achieve after controlling the oil temperature carefully; If the oil temperature is a little lower, you can't force the original aroma of the cucumber, if the oil temperature is higher, the cucumber will be burnt, this grasp between the millimeters, depends not only on experience, but also on talent!

"Master Sun, how about you taste it?"

Zhou Zhou smiled and handed the fried cucumber to Master Sun.

"Uh, I'll taste ......"

Master Sun was stunned for a moment before picking up chopsticks, picking up a slice of cucumber and putting it in his mouth.

"This, this is too delicious......"

After just chewing it, Master Sun felt a 'buzz' in his head, and he was suddenly stupid.

Cucumber is the most common and common vegetable, but it can be compared to fruit!

Some children and even adults like to wash a cucumber and eat it raw in their hands.

This is because cucumbers have a natural sweet flavor that is not even found in some expensive fruits.

Apples, bananas, lychees, and oranges, although these fruits are good, can never replace the raw cucumber of childhood......

The plate of cucumbers fried in Zhouzhou is to magnify the original taste of cucumbers ten or a hundred times, and when you eat it, it is full of fragrance and makes people feel extremely refreshing.

Master Sun has burned a big banquet for more than ten years, and I am afraid that there are not 10,000 or 8,000 cucumbers that he has ever fried, but he can swear that this is the best cucumber he has ever eaten in his life!

This...... Is this a stir-fried cucumber that a man can make?

After eating the first slice, Master Sun couldn't stop the chopsticks anymore, as if a hungry tiger was pounced, he swept a plate of fried cucumbers clean in an instant, and smacked his lips after eating, looking like he had an endless aftertaste.

"Little brother, you must be a special chef!"

Master Sun glanced at Zhou Zhou blankly, and grabbed his arm suddenly: "You...... How the hell did you do it, why did your fried cucumber taste so good, little brother......

"Master Sun, don't get excited."

Zhou Zhou smiled and patted his hands: "All things are born with their own unique tastes, cucumbers are like this, tomatoes are like this, even if it is a green onion or a garlic, why not?"

The chef's job is not to discard these natural delicacies, but to bring them out to the fullest......

For example, this cucumber, if you put chicken essence MSG, is it still a cucumber? Why don't we just go and eat chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, maybe it tastes better? ”

"What I do is nothing more than to control the heat and get the original flavor of the cucumber out just right, and that's my trick."

Zhou Zhou smiled and looked at Master Sun, 'Truly pass on a word, fake pass on ten thousand books', he has already mentioned a point, how much he can comprehend, it depends on his talent and luck.

"Natural taste that can't be discarded...... It's about making the most of ......"

Master Sun muttered to himself as if he was enchanted, frowning for a while, scratching his head for a while, as if he had comprehended something, and as if he couldn't grasp the most important thing: "However, this heat is too difficult to control?" And your knife ......."

"By the way, little brother, you ...... Your cooking skills are so high, can you represent our village to participate in the fighting dishes at the thousand-person noodle banquet? ”

Master Sun's eyes suddenly lit up: "Little brother, if you agree, I'd rather give you a hand and be a handyman!" ”

Zhang Dehou and Zhou Yujun were stunned, just the knife skills shown by Zhou Zhou just now, laymen can also see that it is a means only for special chefs in big restaurants, and Chef Sun's obsessive performance after eating cucumbers proves that Zhouzhou's cooking skills are comparable to those so-called famous chefs!

Hearing Master Sun begging Zhou Zhou to represent Lanqing Village in the competition, Zhang Dehou also said with an expectant face: "Eldest nephew, you can't sit idly by and watch the affairs of our village......

"Hehe, Uncle Zhang, Master Sun, you can rest assured, I will definitely not sit idly by......"

Zhou Zhou said with a smile: "But I have one condition, Uncle Zhang and Master Sun have agreed, and I am willing to make a move." ”

"Really?"

Zhang Dehou's eyes lit up: "Big nephew, even if you say it, I can agree to any conditions." ”

"Hehe, in fact, my conditions are also very simple."

Zhou Zhou said: "I just need Master Sun to keep it secret for me......"

"Confidentiality?

What does it mean? ”

Master Sun and Zhang Dehou didn't understand for a while.

"My father wants to buy the land in Lanqing Village, so it's useless for me to come forward and win, you have to come forward with Master Sun."

Zhou Zhou smiled: "But what... When it comes to the critical moment of fighting vegetables, I will help you get started and be a cook......"

This is called feng shui rotation, before it was two special first-class chefs who worked for Zhou Zhou as a cook, but today it will be changed to him as a cook for this master Sun who burns a big banquet.

"Little brother, will you give me a hand to help cook? That's embarrassing......"

Master Sun's face flushed: "But if you insist, little brother, it's not easy to refuse."

What did you say just now, little brother, to buy the land in Lanqing Village?

No problem, as long as I can win the opposite Chef Kong, all the area of the homestead under my name will be sold to you, and the price is easy to say! ”

Which person who burns the big banquet is not in the rivers and lakes? Chef Sun is not stupid, he knows that with Zhouzhou's cooking skills, as long as he is willing to take action, the leader of this thousand-person noodle banquet will definitely be from Lanqing Village, and he will become famous and worth twice as much.

"Okay, then we'll settle it!"

Zhou Zhou said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, Master Sun, you have to remember, you must keep your mouth shut, and you must not say that I secretly helped Master Sun make the dishes, okay?" ”

What's not to do with that?

Zhang Dehou and Master Sun glanced at each other, and nodded in unison like pounding garlic.

'The gastronomic bond relationship character appears.

Target person: Master Sun, who burned a big banquet for half his life.

Bonding Effect: When the character appears next to the host, a variety of mountain flavors and organic ingredients will receive a delicious bonus effect.

When the character and the host appear in the countryside at the same time, the host's dish gets a delicious +2 effect! ’

The sudden system prompt made Zhou Zhou stunned, and he couldn't help but take a deep look at Master Sun.

Is this better than a fat man? As long as you appear in the countryside, the dishes you cook directly reach the level of national culinary masters?

And as long as he is beside him, all kinds of organic ingredients from the mountains and fields directly have a delicious effect, which is open from the ingredient stage!

Is this Master Sun a friend of green food?

-----------------

The early morning sun is like a girl's eyes, gently looking at the surface of Jianquan Lake, the original rippling lake surface was suddenly covered with a little golden scales, blown by the wind, the golden light flashed, as if there was life.

On a fishing boat with a small pavilion in the lake, Zhou Yujun's singing voice was heard, although it was slightly out of tune, but it was also a deep charm, and with this song "I went to the mountains", he sang the infinite reverie of urban people about rural life.

There are two kinds of people in this world who have beautiful singing voices.

One is the singing voice of a young girl who is not deeply involved in the world.

There is also the singing voice of a weathered old man.

Zhou Zhou squatted on the foredeck, in front of a handmade red clay stove made by mountain people, the iron pot on the stove was stewing milky white fish soup, bursts of umami spread, attracting the wild cats in the grass on the shore to meow non-stop.

This is the most authentic fisherman's practice, without oil and seasonings, not even salt, is to use the lake water to stew the lake fish, the fish soup can be whiter than milk, fresher than the crab in autumn.

Relying on the high-quality lake fish raised in the wild, Zhouzhou does not need to spend any perception value at all, let alone get the top recipes, and can cook the most delicious fish soup with the cooking skills of the peak second-class chef.

Even my father, who doesn't usually like fish, has stopped singing and circled around the stove several times.

"You can drink it, Dad, you can use it in a black clay bowl, and you don't need to add any accessories to the fish soup to ensure that the entrance is fresh and sweet.

After drinking the soup, we set off for a thousand-person noodle banquet, don't let Uncle Zhang and Master Sun wait too long...... I took the phone ......"

As soon as Zhou Zhou removed the fire under the red clay stove, he heard the mobile phone ringing, and after connecting it, he heard Su Routian's sweet voice ringing in his ears.

"My Chef Zhou, what's the matter with your phone, I can't contact you all day."

"What's the matter? I'm in Lanqing Mountain near Pengcheng, and the signal may not be very good. ”

"Are you in Lanqing Mountain? That's great! ”

Su Rou was pleasantly surprised: "Chairman Cao and I have just arrived here...... There are also a few expert judges of our 'Three Meals a Day' primary tasting group, who are now all in Lanqing Mountain! ”

Such a coincidence?

Zhou Zhou was stunned: "You shouldn't be here to participate in the thousand-person face banquet, right?" ”
