The preparation of the french fries is very simple, first stew the potatoes until they are medium-rare, let them cool in water, and then put them in the pan.

Fry until golden brown and a fragrant fries are ready.

Zhong Liang held a large plate of French fries and looked at He Qiu with resentment.

He felt that He Qiu was playing with him.

The dish is also too simple to have any learning value at all.

"Mr. He, are you sure...... Is this an appetizer? ”

Zhong Liang asked He Qiu in a hesitant tone.

He Qiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, this is a classic Kaifeng dish." ”

After speaking, He Qiu picked up a piece of French fries and tasted it first.

Well, the taste of the fries is still much worse than that of later generations.

Most of the fries in later generations were soaked in milk first, which made the taste more intense.

But for the people of the Ming Dynasty, this should be considered quite delicious.

He Qiu wiped his hands on Zhong Liang's clothes, then patted Zhong Liang's shoulder and said, "It's a good job, you can take it out to King Yan and give it to them!" ”

Zhong Liang hesitated.

Serving such a simple dish out would be too damaging to your reputation as an imperial chef if it wasn't tasty.

He Qiu saw Zhong Liang's thoughts, and he spoke again: "Don't worry, the taste of these fries will definitely satisfy King Yan and them, let's take it out quickly, this thing won't taste good if it's cold!" ”

Zhong Liang gritted his teeth, and finally walked out with a plate.

Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao and others are already looking forward to it.

Seeing Zhong Liang come out, Zhu Di immediately stepped forward and asked excitedly, "Is this the first dish Mr. He made?" It looks so special! ”

Zhong Liang wanted to say that he made this dish himself.

But in the end, he nodded like a ghostly and said, "Yes, this is the first dish Mr. He made, called French fries!" ”

Zhu Di smiled: "This name is very easy to understand, but I don't know what it tastes like!" ”

Zhong Liang put a large plate of French fries on the stone table and said, "Your Highness can taste it now, this is just the appetizer, and the next few dishes will be ready immediately!" ”

"Yes, then the king is welcome!"

Zhu Di couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fries and put it in his mouth.

Then, his eyes lit up.

"Crispy and delicious, salty and suitable, delicious, so delicious, worthy of Mr. He's craftsmanship, you all come and taste it!"

After Zhu Di tasted a piece of French fries, he immediately beckoned others to come and taste it.

Yao Guangxiao and Zheng He couldn't hold it back for a long time.

As soon as Zhu Di greeted them, they immediately stepped forward to taste them.

What followed was a barrage of compliments.

Zhong Liang's face suddenly turned dark.

Originally, these compliments were supposed to be given to him.

But he gave this credit to He Qiu.

The opportunity to show his cooking skills to King Yan is gone.

Zhong Liang really wanted to find a corner to cry.

At this time, Zhu Di shouted at Zhong Liang: "Old Zhong, how long will it take for Mr. He's next dish to be good?" ”

Zhong Liang cleaned up his mood and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, it will take a quarter of an hour for the next dish!" ”

"Then go and help Mr. He, and learn Mr. He's cooking skills by the way!"

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he turned around and ate fries wildly, ignoring Zhong Liang no longer .

Zhong Liang sighed and walked into the kitchen rather depressed.

At this time, He Qiu was cooking a famous dish in the kitchen...... Sour and spicy shredded potatoes!

There is vinegar in this era, and the taste of vinegar is more mellow than that of later generations.

The more troublesome thing is how the spiciness is reflected.

There are no chili peppers in this era, and He Qiu has never obtained chili peppers from the system.

However, some alternatives can be found.

Like dogwood and pepper and so on.

He Qiu finally chose dogwood to make hot and sour shredded potatoes.

Zhong Liang's eyes widened on the side, watching He Qiu's movements intently.

But what puzzled Zhong Liang was that no matter how he looked at it, he felt that He Qiu's cooking skills were very ordinary, but the ingredients were a little special.

In fact, if you talk about cooking skills, He Qiu is really not Zhong Liang's opponent.

After all, Zhong Liang also came from a family of chefs, and he also entered the imperial dining room and cooked for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Belongs to the one-in-a-million chefs.

And He Qiu learned to cook completely by virtue of his hobbies.

Of course, there is no comparison between an amateur and a professional.

But what makes He Qiu better than Zhong Liang is that he has recorded countless modern recipes in his head, which Zhong Liang can't compare to at all.

After the hot and sour potato shreds came out of the pot, Zhong Liang couldn't help but lean in and smell it.

Then, Zhong Liang's eyes widened a little.

He is very sensitive to taste and only needs to smell the dish to know what it tastes like.

The taste of this sour and spicy shredded potato obviously shocked Zhong Liang.

The combination of sour and spicy is just right, and the aroma of the potatoes themselves is simply amazing.

Zhong Liang hurriedly looked at He Qiu and said, "Mr. He, can you teach me the specific method of this dish?" I would love to learn! ”

He Qiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to learn, you can learn, in fact, this dish is very simple, you re-cut some shredded potatoes, and I will teach you how to make it!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhong Liang was a little confused and said, "This ...... This is not appropriate, the prince is still waiting outside for dinner, if you teach me to cook now, is it too much of a waste of time? ”

He Qiu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the staple food is not good yet, let them wait first!" ”

Zhong Liang hesitated for a second, and then said happily: "Okay, then trouble Mr. He, I'll go cut shredded potatoes now!" ”

Before the words fell, Zhong Liang ran to the front of the board, picked up the kitchen knife and pulled a knife flower, and then began to shred the potatoes, so fast that there was an afterimage.

Although He Qiu had already seen Zhong Liang's knife work, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw him again at this moment.

Strong!

It's too strong!

This level must be a professor level in the New Oriental Chef School.

He Qiu really wanted to learn this kind of knife work.

But thinking that he didn't open a restaurant, no matter how good the knife work was, it was useless, so he gave up.

Soon, Zhong Liang cut the shredded potatoes.

He Qiu began to teach Zhong Liang how to make sour and hot shredded potatoes by hand.

The biggest difference between Chinese food and Western food is that there are no strict standards for the ingredients and seasonings used in Chinese food.

The word that appears most often in Chinese recipes is "moderation"!

Therefore, if you want to learn a Chinese dish well, you will never be able to do it without a master's teaching.

Zhong Liang's talent is quite good.

It was successful after only making it twice, and the taste was even better than the sour and spicy shredded potatoes made by He Qiu.

A kitchen is a kitchen!

"Mr. He, thank you for teaching me this dish, from today onwards, please allow me to call you Master!"

Zhong Liang bowed to He Qiu quite solemnly to show his sincerity.

This made He Qiu a little embarrassed.

Being called Master by a middle-aged man in his forties will be a little uncomfortable to put on anyone......
