Volume 2 Chapter 33 The Realm of Burning the Great Feast
Those who don't look down on big dishes are always those so-called professionals.
For ordinary people, the big table dish always represents the most familiar fireworks in the world.
In the countryside, whether it is a red thing or a white thing, it is always inseparable from the burning feast in memory. Perhaps for a chef, burning a big pot of dishes may represent depravity, but for Chinese food culture, it is an indispensable part.
The lively scene in my childhood memory reappeared in front of me again, and many passengers who stayed in the carriage could only be regarded as strangers who had a relationship, but because of the big meal, they instantly became friends who could set up a table together.
Or a group of four, or a group of six, each person orders a dish or two, as if forming a small table, if there can be some liquor, it will become a wine and meat friend who does not talk about interests but only friendship. It's the strongest friendship in the world!
Old man Zhang Zhongxuan did not sit with the seven girls of Huizhou this time. Although he was a little surprised by the feeling just now, he was still worried that Zhou Zhou would stumble when cooking unskilled dishes.
At that time, even if he has a little regret, he will inevitably show it, which will affect the evaluation of Zhouzhou by the seven girls of Huizhou, and even affect his application for a special chef.
So the old man sat at the same table with Boss Cao, Su Rou, Gu Zhiwei, Chang Jianguo and others, and what surprised him was that in addition to Boss Cao and Su Rou, there was one more Wu Jiuyu who blindly trusted Zhouzhou?
What's going on? Could it be that after the poisonous snake was domesticated, it became an obedient little obedient in the three baskets? At present, it seems that Wu Jiuyu has the potential to become a musical snake......
Since it's a big seat, you don't have to worry about what to order. The two round tables are directly on the seat of the whole table.
While waiting for the food to be served, Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan found that Gu Zhiwei and Chang Jianguo's eyes were very wrong, and both of them kept floating in along the narrow glass window of the kitchen of the dining car... There are two figures busy in the dining car, one is familiar with Zhou Zhou, and the other is very unfamiliar, neither belonging to his two disciples, nor to the two special cooks. And it looks like this person's operation is very skillful, as if he has burned a big banquet for decades.
Who is this person?
Old man Zhang Zhouxuan's eyebrows were tightly locked, if he guessed correctly, Zhou Zhou's sudden decision to burn the banquet was mostly related to this person.
Xiao Zhou is too, why was he fooled by this kind of person? And his two useless apprentices, don't they know to dissuade Zhou Zhou! Just watch him make this wrong decision?
Suddenly heard Gu Zhiwei: "No wonder, no wonder, it turned out to be Master Sun!" ”
Chang Jianguo also nodded again and again: "Yes." I have long heard that Master Sun has burned a big banquet for half his life.
Last time we had a noodle banquet in Lanqing Mountain, we were just lucky enough to taste the three beautiful tofu made by Master Sun. But that's not someone else's specialty, right?
I didn't expect Master Xiao Zhou's charm to be so great. Actually brought Master Sun, a diligent strange man who lives in seclusion in the countryside, and it seems that we are going to feast on it today. ”
The old man Zhang Zhouxuan listened inexplicably, and only after careful inquiry did he know what happened during the banquet on Lanqing Mountain that day.
I couldn't help but take a deep look at Master Sun's back again, and I was secretly surprised in my heart, looking at this person's posture of swinging the pot, it can be seen that he is a veteran of burning big banquets, but Sanmei tofu is an extremely particular Lu dish, just by virtue of his ability to make the god-level dishes in Gu Zhiwei and Chang Jianguo's mouth? When did the god-level dish become Chinese cabbage?
Seeing the old man's surprised look, Su Rouqiang couldn't help but laugh, and exchanged a rare look with Wu Jiuyu.
At the scene of the noodle banquet that day, only she and Wu Jiuyu saw the tricky children, but at this time and now, the two of them naturally will not expose the truth.
At this time, Master Sun, who was in the kitchen of the dining car, looked at Zhou Zhou with a little awe in his eyes.
Originally, according to his idea, this kind of thing was burned to the big banquet, and he and the fat man Chen Yuanyuan could take over. How could Zhou Zhou and several other chefs do such dirty work?
Master Sun put his position very right, others are apprentices of the four walls, he now sees that he doesn't even have a home, and he can stay in X164 to have a meal and a chance to learn, which is already a great luck.
How dare you think of asking Zhou Zhou to help him burn the big banquet? didn't expect Zhou Zhou to insist on doing it with him.
Moreover, he only needs to complete the first half of the process of each dish, and the specific cooking, frying, and adding various accessories and spices in the back have to be done by himself......
If this had been changed before, Master Zhang would have thought that this was an insult to himself, but when Zhou Zhou made such a request, Master Sun had a feeling of flattery.
Master Xiao Zhou is a good person! It must be because many people opposed him burning a big banquet that day, and today Master Xiao Zhou supported himself with practical actions!
Master Sun looked at Zhouzhou's busy back with tears of excitement... Gradually, it changed from moving to admiration, and then from admiration to awe.
Are you sure you read it right? The big iron pot that can cook twenty or thirty dishes at the same time is different from the common woks in ordinary kitchens.
This thing is too big and heavy, and you have to use the method of building a stove to occupy three fire eyes at the same time in the kitchen of the dining car! Therefore, when using this kind of cauldron, the chef's pot shaking skills will be completely useless, and it all depends on the sauté pan to keep stir-frying quickly.
If you make a stew, it's better, but when it comes to stir-frying, it's a long and thicker sauté spoon, which can make the chef with a little weaker arm strength unbearable.
But the big frying spoon that he has used for decades is now like a lamp grass in Zhou Zhou's hands, up and down in the pot, flying left and right......
Master Sun rubbed his eyes... He felt that Zhouzhou was not making a big pot of dishes, but like a tall giant who was using this special big iron pot to cook a large banquet very easily.
Also, why is there a smell coming out of the pot, even he, who has been burning a feast for decades, has never felt it.
The aroma is strong, which is the characteristic of the big pot dish, but the fresh and natural, pure aroma, as if the fragrance wafting from every household can only be smelled during the Chinese New Year in childhood, makes Master Sun wonder whether he is now in the 21st century, or the eighties and nineties of the last century?
This... This is the real taste of the big feast!
This is really the familiar taste of ordinary people!
Master Sun looked at Zhou Zhou blankly... Suddenly, he understood something.
It turned out that he had been wrong all along, and although he had burned the big banquet for decades, he just regarded it as a means of making a living. In fact, I have never really looked up to this profession from myself.
He even sold his family's homestead and farmland in order to go to the city to open a restaurant, and never again be a man who burns big banquets.
Today, Zhou Zhou made him understand that it turned out that burning a big banquet can also be so attractive, so vivid, and so realm......
