Volume 2 One Hundred and Fifty Chapter Fairyland
Everyone was puzzled, but they saw Zhou Zhou holding two duck palms in one hand and picking up a silver needle from the kitchen in the other.
This needle, seven inches long and about the same thickness as an ordinary acupuncture needle, trembled slightly under the lighting of the stadium lights, as soft as a hair.
Longer than regular acupuncture needles, but softer!
This is not an ordinary kitchen needle, the kitchen needles used to pierce the meat are made of steel, and they are hard enough, but I have never heard of anyone using acupuncture needles as kitchen needles.
What's to be done?
Wang Shenghai stared at Zhou Zhou tightly, this silver needle was specially asked for him by Zhou Zhou, but he never thought that Zhou Zhou would use it here.
When will chefs be able to use such silver needles?
In the suspicious eyes of everyone, Zhou Zhou put a duck palm on the palm, put another duck palm on it, and the other hand shook slightly, and the silver needle as soft as a hair was like a dragon swimming in the air, and it was gently folded, and the duck palm that was stacked on it was inserted from an incredible angle!
"This"
Wang Shenghai was stunned for a moment, and his worldview almost collapsed on the spot.
Out of the demon, I knew it would be like this, and the guy was out of the demon again!
Removing the crust of duck paws is not an easy task, and all chefs in the world will ignore the effect of hot water on the dishes, because in everyone's opinion, this is the only way.
Who would have thought that Zhou Zhou would abandon the accepted method and not prepare to use hot water to blanch off the hard skin?
And Zhou Zhou's mind is so delicate that when dealing with a duck's paw, because he was worried that the other one would freeze his blood because of too long, he actually held it in the palm of his hand, and used his own temperature to maintain the remaining activity of this duck's paw.
As a result, the duck paws stacked on top of each other are doubly difficult to handle. And looking at Zhou Zhou's meaning, it turned out to be a method of piercing with a silver needle to peel off the crust of the outer layer of the duck's paw!
It's a crazy idea, so that you can avoid the detrimental effects of hot water scalding on duck paws, but can it really be done?
Even Wang Shenghai's throat fluttered when he saw it, and he couldn't help swallowing and spitting, secretly nervous for Zhouzhou.
At this moment, he almost forgot that Zhouzhou was the opponent of his master and apprentice, and he was very much looking forward to Zhouzhou's success, after all, this is the first time that Huaxia Qinxing has broken the accepted treatment method in the industry!
I saw that after the silver needle in Zhou Zhou's hand pierced the duck's paw, it seemed that he was an old horse who knew his way and had to walk quickly, and after a while, the needle poked out from the edge of the connection between the crust and the duck's paw.
Everyone immediately held their breath, stared at the needle with round eyes, most of the people present were experts, as long as they saw the color of the needle clearly, they could roughly judge whether Zhou Zhou's needle was successful.
If it is just a bluff but not strong, and the silver needle injures the normal tissues of the duck's paw, then this method of treatment can be declared a failure.
On the contrary, it can be declared that the treatment method that has been recognized by the chef industry for many years is wrong, at least it is relatively low-level, and I am afraid that many people, including grandmasters like Sun Desheng, will not be able to sleep.
Is it that from now on, everyone will not only learn knife skills, carving skills, frying skills, and fire skills, but also learn a needle technique?
But where to study, it doesn't seem right to go to a Chinese medicine school?
It's such a headache, this Zhouzhou is too, you said that you are better than a competition, always challenging the chef's limit to what to do, isn't it impossible to get along with us?
The silver needle was seven inches long, and even if the crusty shrimp penetrated the duck's paw and poked out the needle, there would still be an inch of the needle's tail left outside, and it was trembling under the light above the stage.
I saw Zhou Zhou flex his index finger and flick it lightly at the end of the needle.
"Buzz—"
The sound of the pin's tail trembling echoed in the kitchen, and everyone was first surprised, and then a look of bewilderment
"Is this still cooking?"
"It's amazing!"
"Ah, I seem to see a glittering dish coming out of the oven!"
"Get out, what is the glitter, this is called fairy sound!"
Sun Desheng suddenly opened a pair of old eyes, staring at Zhou Zhou stubbornly, this needle method seems to be a little familiar
Legend has it that the senior of the kitchen god once showed this hand in front of the founding minister, the old man asked curiously, and the senior of the kitchen god just smiled and replied: "Although this acupuncture method is amazing, compared to what you have done, it is a small thing after all, so why should you care about the kitchen?" ”
"That senior has a point, the name of this set of needles doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that it's amazing enough.
So, it should be called 'Amazing Shot'."
Thinking of this, Sun Desheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he was still in love after all, and couldn't help but give this set of needles a name, is this the gap between himself and that senior?
This Zhouzhou, where did he come from?
Guo Zhouzhou now told him that he was taught by the chef school, and Sun Desheng would definitely run away on the spot, isn't this an insult to his IQ!
Zhou Zhou flicked the needle tail several times in a row, and the silver needle vibrated under the hard skin of the duck paw, and he saw that the crust of the duck paw above the silver needle gradually raised a thin needle-shaped trace.
This result looks extremely mysterious, and it will make everyone exclaim and admire.
Sun Desheng clearly knew that this was because Zhouzhou was extremely accurate, and the silver needle could penetrate from the delicate blood veins under the duck's palm, and with the vibrating of the needle, the blood veins were raised little by little, so that the crust in this position was gradually peeled off from the normal tissues below.
When this needle-shaped trace bulged like a small hill, Zhou Zhou pushed the needle tail like lightning with one hand, grabbed the needle with the other, and pulled out the silver needle with a slight pull.
At this time, the silver needle was already in his other hand, and Zhou Zhou did not take a moment, but quickly pierced the silver needle from the other side under the crust again, and continued to flick the tail of the needle, opening up the blood veins, and making the crust bulge.
His technique is getting faster and faster, and he can see that more than a dozen sinuous needle marks have risen under the crust of the outer layer of the duck paw, although there is still a lot of adhesion between the crust and the duck paw at this time, but the key position related to the bloodline has been hollowed out by Zhouzhou!
"I thought that my technique had reached the pinnacle, and when it came to hot and peeling, even if it was a grandmaster like Sun Desheng and Lao Xingzun, he might not be able to do better than me.
Originally, this is the case, but who would have thought that this guy would not play his cards according to reason, and he would not use the method of hot scalding and peeling!
Who can I talk to about this?
Duck paw peeling, there is still such a method, is it all this guy came up with when he was sleeping?
Could it be that he dreamed about it? ”
Seeing that Zhou Zhou put down the silver needle, he gently pinched the corner of the crust with his hand, and tore it violently, tearing off a piece of the crust of the duck's paw, and then used the same method to deal with other positions, and quickly reorganized a duck and put it in rice wine to soak.
People didn't add any traditional Chinese medicine to the rice wine, let alone use any precious 'orchid nectar', it was just the ordinary rice wine provided by the organizing committee of the competition, is he so confident?
Sun Desheng sighed secretly, and sighed infinitely in his heart: "Zhouzhou is really mysterious, no wonder Zhang Zhouxuan and Hu Lingjiu will value him so much, this kid has a bright future in the future."
Zhou Zhou removed the crust of the duck paw, the technique was ingenious, and the weight was light, but when it came to the step of soaking in rice wine, it was ordinary, and there was no amazing performance, so that Sun Desheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Is this feeling right, if this kid shows magic tricks everywhere and breaks the rules, then he won't let others live? Not to mention ordinary chefs, I'm afraid that I, a diligent master, will be filmed to death on the beach.
After Zhou Zhou finished the procedure of soaking duck palms and sealing the pot on the spot, it will come to an end for the time being today, and the dish of Dengyun duck is so troublesome.
Everyone immediately responded with warm applause, and even Sun Desheng's master and apprentice couldn't help but sincerely cheer for Zhouzhou, and Su Rou even slapped a pair of small hands red.
"Time, tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m., continue."
Zhou Zhou reported a time.
Zhou Zhou combined Sun Desheng's brewing method, added his own refinement and understanding, and finally determined a time, which was about 45 minutes less than the usual twenty-four hours.
"At this time tomorrow, 'people climb the ladder to heaven and see fairyland'!"
Leave an unfathomable and profound sentence, and then drift away, this seems to be what the owner of the 'Xiao Zhou kitchen knife' should look like.
It's a pity that Zhou Zhou can't carve wooden people with a knife, he won't be sad because he put on a colored hat, and he won't cough while drinking, so he can't help but feel a little regretful.
Su Rou's eyes lit up, a man who has no ability will be annoying to pretend to be forced, but a man with ability is different, that is a unique charm.
——
"People climb the ladder to heaven and see fairyland"!
But the food in the fairyland, is there no prototype in the world?
If they figure out this truth, Sun Desheng's master and apprentice may understand the true meaning of this dish, of course, even if they do, it is estimated that they will not be able to make it.
The difficulty of this dish is that it is steamed, and even if you have earth-shattering stir-frying skills and fire skills, it is also in vain, because you can't use it at all.
This alone will stump many chefs.
Everyone knows how to cook, but eighty percent of chefs in the world look down on this simple cooking method from the bottom of their bones.
After all, from the perspective of the history of human cooking, frying and frying are also after steaming, and I only know how the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of Dading stew can compare with the highly developed food civilization of the Song and Ming dynasties?
To a large extent, the representative of food civilization is 'frying and frying', at least in the world's first gastronomic power Huaxia, when have you seen anyone push this method of steaming to the peak?
After a hundred years of experience in bringing together many top recipes, Zhouzhou's understanding of Chinese cuisine has been faintly extraordinary, and he has become one of the few chefs in the world to understand it and have such an understanding.
He even has some doubts now that the reason why 'Dengyun Duck' will be lost is mostly related to the fact that this dish was finally 'steamed'.
The so-called 'frying skills are clear, watching the fire knows the high chef, and steaming is homely', since the difficulty of this dish is steaming, the kung fu is just before steaming.
In other words, even if there are requirements for steaming, most of them must be closely coordinated with the early procedures, 'no one sees the cultivation, and God knows', such as governing the country for the cook, but also like self-cultivation and morality, which is actually the same reason.
"In fact, the ingredients in the world are divided into two parts: innate and acquired.
Slaughtering the eggs in the belly of the hen is innate, cooking method, not the taste of the world; When the chickens lay eggs, it was the day after tomorrow, although there were more fireworks in the world, but there was no more innate wonder.
This soaked duck paw, isn't it like this? Unfortunately, many people ignore this. ”
The two duck paws in front of me, which had been soaked in rice wine for nearly twenty-four hours, swelled a few times and were as thick as a child's fingers.
According to Sun Desheng's practice, it is necessary to rinse it with rice wine first, then rinse it with water, and then pull out the main bone and negative tendons, discard them together, and only take the skin of the duck's paw to enter the dish.
But Zhou Zhou didn't do that.
"Only take the crisp taste of the duck paw skin, but forget the innate wonder and fragrance in it, isn't this a sacrifice to the end?
It's a pity that even Sun Desheng, the diligent grandmaster, actually ignored this, or with his methods, it was difficult to do it? ”
Zhou Zhou did not directly remove the main bone tendon of the duck palm, but held the duck palm with his palm, and pressed his thumb and index finger on the position of the bone tendon, as if he was massaging hard.
It seems to be massaged, but in fact, it is using a kind of skillful force, which can not damage the skin of the duck paw, but also secretly pinch the duck bone that has been soaked in rice wine to be close to soft, so that the few bone marrow in it can penetrate into the duck paw!
The bone marrow is the 'master of the inner god and the source of blood', and it should be innate!
Moreover, Zhouzhou's method is to keep it from the duck palm body and not to contact with foreign objects, otherwise it will lose its innate wonder.
Only by taking the innate can we make what Zhou Zhou said, 'the taste that does not belong to the world'!
This technique seems to be plain, but in fact, after pinching out the bone marrow with skillful force, supplemented by the 'legendary vegetable washing skill', it secretly penetrates through the skin, and uses two fingers to distinguish the veins in the duck's palm, so that the bone marrow slowly penetrates.
"What is this guy doing?"
Sun Desheng was really curious, and he couldn't care about his status as a diligent grandmaster, so he quickly walked to Zhouzhou's side like a thirsty primary school student.
"Grandmaster Sun, don't worry, I can't tell if you taught Xiao Zhou or Xiao Zhou did this?"
Old man Zhang Zhouxuan laughed, in the next few years, he will be happy with this, cool!
Sun Desheng didn't pay attention to him at all, what happened to the grandmaster? I'm ashamed to ask, sooner or later I have to become a New Year's friend with Xiao Zhou, can you control it? You're almost seventy years old and you're just a national culinary master, what's the use of you?
Ah? This kid didn't pull out the duck bone directly, but made a small opening under the duck's paw, and shook his hand a few times, and then shook out a small pile of bone meal?
"Holy shit! Wait, I'm a grandmaster, how can I swear? The next is not an example, and the next is not an example
But. There is no damage to the outer skin of this duck palm, but the main bone inside has turned into bone meal, how did he do it?
Why did he do it? ”
Countless questions suddenly popped up in Sun Desheng's heart.
