Volume 2 Chapter 14 Lu Department First Kung Fu Cuisine
The 'Lu Wei Xuan' opened by Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan and his disciples turned out to be in Chang'an City, which is quite a bit of a taste of East cuisine and West cuisine.
Lu cuisine has also been brilliant, and there is a shadow of Lu cuisine behind the world's cuisine. However, because Shandong cuisine does not have a peculiar smell, it is difficult to open the market with spicy and spicy flavors like Sichuan cuisine, and it is not as particular about health preservation as Cantonese cuisine, which is sought after by modern people.
Once the world's first cuisine, but now it is difficult to find even a few decent restaurants, diners gradually began to lose interest in Lu cuisine, Lu cuisine restaurants are difficult to do, and even many Lu cuisine chefs simply switch cuisines.
However, Zhang Zhouxuan's apprentice's 'Lu Weixuan' is a hot business and a good market, and the members of the expert tasting group such as Zhou Zhou were almost dazzled by the various luxury cars parked in front of the door.
"A fried double crispy dish will be sold for two hundred yuan in Lu Weixuan, and the roasted sea cucumber with green onion will be even higher, three hundred and eighty-eight pieces.
Ladies and gentlemen, does this go against the concept of 'three meals a day'? ”
Wu Jiuyu is now serving Zhou Zhou alone, as for Zhang Zhouxuan and Hu Lingjiu, in his eyes, it is nothing more than that, and the dishes he makes are just edible. What makes him most unpleasant is that Zhang Zhouxuan himself is a member of the senior jury of three meals a day, and now 'Lu Weixuan' has come to apply for the evaluation of the three-star brand, which is not fair, right?
"Lu cuisine has really not been easy all these years......"
Master Wang Haibin, who is also a national culinary master and a representative of Jeju cuisine in the Lu cuisine series, glanced at Wu Jiuyu and obviously disagreed with his statement.
"After all, Lao Zhang is a national culinary master, with his identity and the authentic Lu cuisine here, this price should be reasonable, right?"
Gu Zhiwei also nodded and said: "It's really not high, and it is He Wuhuo, a disciple of Elder Zhang, who submitted the three-star review application this time."
Zhang Lao also said that he would not participate in this review and would only be a spectator, so 'Lu Weixuan' met the review conditions. ”
Wu Jiuyu looked at Zhou Zhou and said with some hesitation: "Xiao Zhou, He Wuhuo is your assistant cook, right?"
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely believe in your fairness, but I'm afraid that outsiders won't know about it, which will affect your reputation. ”
It can be seen that Wu Jiuyu, who loves to hurt people the most, is really worried about Zhouzhou, and his concern is beyond words.
Zhou Zhou nodded: "Old Wu reminded me well, in fact, I was also hesitating, and I was thinking about whether to withdraw from the jury as an old man." ”
"Xiao Zhou, don't retreat, otherwise won't it disappoint my big apprentice who doesn't know the height of the sky?"
The loud laughter came, and there were already three more people in Lu Weixuan's living room, one of whom was the old man Zhang Zhouxuan, who had not been seen for a few days, and looked at Zhou Zhou with a smile and said: "Xiao Zhou, your wonderful reviews in the Luliu family are all on the official website of 'Three Meals a Day', which is very exciting."
But even my old man was a little skeptical, could you really eat that pigeon suffered from the cold, it must be blind, right? ”
The old man laughed, actually...... Master Cui! How could you be here? ”
Zhou Zhou saw Cui Zhengshan standing side by side with He Wuhuo behind the old man Zhang Zhouxuan at a glance, the Green Willow family that everyone went to a few days ago, why did he arrive at Lu Weixuan at this time?
Wu Jiuyu and Gu Zhiwei also felt strange, and looked at Cui Zhengshan in unison.
"Zhou Shen... No, judging Zhou, in fact, the famous chef Cui Zhengshan in Huaiyang you know is my senior brother. ”
He Wuhuo smiled: "Don't look at my senior brother's youth, he joined the master at the age of 7, earlier than me." ”
"Today I just know ......"
Wang Haibin, a master of Lu cuisine, pointed at Cui Zhengshan and said with a smile: "I have long heard that there is an amazing and brilliant diligent genius under Lao Zhang, who is good at cooking famous dishes of major cuisines, and like Lao Zhang when he was young, he likes to play games in the world the most." And it's quite mysterious, never mentioning the teacher in front of people...... Unexpectedly, it's you? ”
"Let Wang Lao see a smile......"
Cui Zhengshan laughed, and his gaze finally stayed on Zhou Zhou: "Don't blame you for hiding something before, I just don't like to rely on the prestige of my master." ”
"Yes, my senior brother has great skills and a strong personality, if it weren't for Zhou Shen... Judge Zhou came, but he still refused to show up. ”
He Wuhuo is a Tie Hanhan, thought about it and said: "My senior brother also said that he just wants to compete with Judge Zhou, but I want to see if Judge Zhou can find fault with him......
By the way, you have to be careful. My brother's worst thing is Huaiyang cuisine, so he went to Jiangdu to 'study' for half a year, and accidentally became a famous chef in Huaiyang.
His best thing is to make Lu cuisine, and even the master thinks that he is inferior to the master of the roasted sea cucumber with green onions......"
Suddenly, I saw that the master and the senior brother were a little unkind, and I thought to myself, I seem to have said the wrong thing again?
Wu Jiuyu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "So you have a good show to watch today, Lao Zhang, why don't you hurry up?" You should know that I like to watch people fight vegetables the most in my life, not to mention your eldest apprentice and Xiao Zhou. ”
Zhang Zhouxuan was a little embarrassed: "Xiao Zhou, my apprentice has such a temper, don't be surprised."
Everyone, back kitchen, please. My apprentice, who doesn't know the height of the sky, said that when you get to the back kitchen, you will do what he wants, and I especially hope that the judges can be present throughout the whole process, and if you can find out his faults, it can be regarded as helping him improve. ”
Zhou Zhou can see that although the old man Zhang Zhouxuan criticizes his apprentice, he is actually proud of his genius apprentice just like the master who is a master all over the world.
-----------------
When he came to the back kitchen of 'Lu Weixuan', even Wu Jiu's tongue was closed, and several judges and Wang Haibin looked at Zhou Zhou.
Since Zhang Zhouxuan's eldest disciple named and wanted to challenge Zhou Judge, they should be a bystander today, and they can still have a meal when they turn around.
"Judge Zhou, please specify the dishes, right?"
Cui Zhengshan smiled.
Zhou Zhou nodded: "Okay, let's ask Master Cui to make a fried double crisp." ”
Sure enough, this is the dish.
Several judges and Wang Haibin nodded secretly, this dish is very good, the fried double crispy is a masterpiece in Lu cuisine, it seems simple, but it is the same as the scallion grilled sea cucumber The chef's kung fu is the best.
Kailu restaurant can even not have such a high-end dish as scallion roasted sea cucumber, but it must not be fried without oil, it can be said that this is a dish of the town store!
"Prepare!"
How good Zhou Zhou is at eating Cui Zhengshan has seen it with his own eyes, even he will never dare to take it lightly, gently rolled up his sleeves, and took a deep breath.
Starting with the kitchen knife, Cui Zhengshan's face changed, and the whole person suddenly became solemn and upright like a pine!
Brush Brush Brush ......
The sword is as bright as snow!
The knife light starts from the cutting board, shining in the air, as if the antelope hangs its horns, there is no trace, everyone is just blinking an eye, the most difficult to deal with the pork belly, chicken gizzard has been cut into pieces, the gap between the burlap knives is reasonable, and the material is extremely mysterious!
Therefore, it is said that the material is too thick, and it is two millimeters thicker than the crisp bottom that several judges have seen!
Wang Haibin is a real master of Lu cuisine, and after just one glance, he nodded again and again: "The first thing to do is to leave the bottom, and the deeper the burlap flower knife, the less difficult this dish will be, and vice versa."
A real chef often pursues a thick bottom to ensure a crisp taste, but Xiao Cui has broken through the limit of leaving the bottom... Lao Zhang, your apprentice is really not simple? ”
Old man Zhang Zhouxuan glanced at him: "It's worth your chatter, just watch it patiently." ”
Zhou Zhou and the judges were also secretly frightened, this Cui Zhengshan is too powerful, it seems that he wants to make this fried double crisp into flowers.
Put aside the taste of the turned dishes first, such a wonderful scene should not be missed, everyone was afraid that they would miss a step, and they gathered around Cui Zhengshan.
Cui Zhengshan had a faint smile on his lips, heated the pot for a few seconds after the fire, and put in the oil behind the edge of the pot with his hand, and the oil was heated to ninety, and then put in the green onions, peppers, and ginger slices......
Fried double crispy is different from ordinary dishes, and the trimmings and side dishes must be put into the pot first, because the processed pork belly slices and chicken gizzard slices can't stay in the pot for too long, and they can't even survive the side dishes.
In order to solve the problem that the heat is difficult to control, ninety percent of the chefs will thicken first, so that it is easier to grasp the heat of the double crispy main ingredient; The problem caused by thickening is the decrease in brittleness, which is obviously disdainful of Cui Zhengshan.
After the accessories and side dishes were put into the pot, Cui Zhengshan flicked them with a frying spoon a few times and gently tossed them, and these accessories and side dishes turned up from the bottom of the pot like obedient soldiers.
"Huh? At this time, it starts to turn the pot? ”
