Chapter 425: Set of Four Treasures

Xiao Nianzhi said the name of the dish, and also explained the approximate method of the two dishes.

The key to pagoda meat is the knife work.

In modern times, in order to cut the meat better, the meat is generally put in the refrigerator and frozen, of course, it will not be frozen to the point that it cannot be cut, but the kind of cut down, just right, and will make the knife feel very smooth.

Pagoda meat is a square of pork belly, cut into thin slices according to the shape, and these thin slices finally need to be connected into a line, and then piled into the shape of a pagoda.

Hence the name of the dish.

Of course, the suspended pagoda cannot be formed independently there, so the inside of the pagoda needs to be filled with all kinds of dried vegetables that enhance the freshness and taste.

For example, dried bamboo shoots, dried plum vegetables, and dried mushrooms, these are all OK, depending on the chefs' freshness methods and usage habits.

Because it is cooked meat and changed to a knife, it is easier to cut than raw meat, but if you want to cut it as thin as a cicada's wings, and look good when you pile the tower at the end, it depends on how your knife skills are.

As soon as I heard that I was going to challenge the knife skills again, all the chefs were interested.

"I'll try."

"I'll do it too!"

Everyone quickly participated.

As for the other set of four treasures, interesting is interesting, but it is important to challenge the knife work, first come to the pagoda meat!

The chefs quickly got involved, picking the meat, then blanching it and cutting it into boxy shapes so that they could finish slicing the slices and stacking them.

I have to say that there is a lot of strength in people, and there are many talents in the middle, everyone's knife work, today's finished Wensi tofu, Xiao Nianzhi has already seen it, so naturally he will not doubt it.

Changed to meat, even if there is no guidance from Xiao Nianzhi, but they also have their own skills, and they can cut them well.

Because the pork belly is blanched, various spices need to be added in the process in order to absorb the flavor.

Therefore, the skin of the meat is caramel colored, and the tower that comes out at the end is also a rich sauce color, just think about it, it goes to the pot to steam, and then the taste comes out, the chefs can no longer sit still.

After the knife work, everyone was eager to try steaming.

Of course, during the steaming process, I tried to stuff different kinds of dried vegetables in the middle of the pagoda to see which one was the best.

This kind of attempt made Xiao Nianzhi bitter again.

Because, she needs to keep trying.

She finished eating it at noon, and she hadn't even digested it yet, and here it is again!

After the pagoda meat, everyone went to try the set of four treasures.

Stop......

This thing, set up, is quite addictive!

At the beginning, everyone was still in the same way, the chicken was a duck, the duck was a pigeon, and then there were quails.

But with the set, everyone was not satisfied and began to try other things.

How to set it is a technical problem, and whether it tastes good or not is a technical problem.

Everyone tried differently, but also to see who came out with the best taste in the end.

I have to say that there must be a reason why the four treasures can be handed down.

This set is the most silky and smooth, and the taste is the most fresh and fragrant.

Today's two dishes are big fish and meat, and after Xiao Nianzhi ate it, he smelled the meat and wanted to vomit.

The chefs were excited at first, but they couldn't stand it later.

By the time Yan Xingxuan came over, everyone had already passed the excitement and began to feel sick to their stomachs, but they still persevered, tried again, and created again.

I have to say that the chefs are really dedicated, or the work of the imperial chef is really not easy to do.

So, even if it was nauseous and nauseous, everyone still gritted their teeth and continued to try.

In this regard, Xiao Nianzhi can also understand.

After all, the emperor was angry, and blood flowed like a river.

That is, today's Your Majesty, compared to the first emperor, is quite generous.

Otherwise, once you feel embarrassed or in a bad mood, it is not impossible to cut two imperial chefs.

Thinking about it this way, it's actually quite good to be a mascot in a small department.

At least, it's safe for the time being.

Xiao Nianzhi couldn't eat it, Yan Xingxuan had just come over, and he hadn't been beaten by the mellow taste, and now he was in good spirits.

As soon as I heard about the new dish, I couldn't help but want to try it.

What the imperial chefs are looking for at this time is someone like him, who is willing to try, but also understands food.

Therefore, Yan Xingxuan was quickly pulled over, and then Yan Changxia also brought two brothers.

In the end, Yan Changxia's two brothers, one left with a slight frown, and the other left with his mouth covered.

Without him, if you eat too much, you will be sick to your stomach!

In particular, the pagoda meat, although it has been processed layer by layer, the fatty part is not too greasy, and even melts in the mouth.

But......

No matter how greasy it is, no one can help it with so much grease!

The two young boys were full of interest when they came, and when they left, they were in a hurry, as if there was a wolf chasing behind, and their sister couldn't take care of it, so they ran away directly!

Yan Changxia is okay, but compared to the two brothers, his complexion is not too good-looking.

Fortunately, these two dishes will be served for a while tomorrow, and the amount of dishes is not large, otherwise......

yue!

Yan Xingxuan was directly chewing dried hawthorn at this time, and only drinking the soup could no longer save his precarious stomach and complexion.

Xiao Nianzhi relieved himself at this time, and asked in a low voice about the matter at today's banquet.

In this regard, Yan Xingxuan thought for a while before speaking: "The dishes are delicious, especially the boiling water cabbage, think about it, you are really amazing! The feeling of eating yesterday is not the same as today's feeling, don't you know, Fanbang came to make an envoy, knowing that the soup is not real white water, what is the surprise become......

Once he praised Xiao Nianzhi, Yan Xingxuan couldn't stop at all.

As for how many people came from Fanbang, what about the envoys?

There are delicacies, who looks at them?

They don't think about it!

Xiao Nianzhi is actually a daily chatter, but he doesn't really have any interest in the envoys.

Thinking that she is now in the palace, the envoy doesn't know how many times she will come to eat, she can't go back to the house for the time being, and she can't catch up with Zhang Hanshan's birthday next door.

Fortunately, I prepared a birthday gift in advance, and now I just need to ask someone to bring the letter back, and when the uncle goes next door, help carry the gift.

Chang Shan didn't follow him into the palace, but it was not good to send Xianglan out, Xiao Nianzhi is now by her side, but she is the only one who can be close.

Really sent out, Xiao Nianzhi was still unstable in his heart.

Thinking of this, she tentatively mentioned it to Yan Xingxuan.

Knowing that Xiao Nianzhi was a birthday gift for others, and he was also a man, Yan Xingxuan's first reaction was naturally not very happy.

However, he knew sensibly that Xiao Nianzhi was a normal interpersonal interaction.

In particular, the Zhang family lives next door to the Xiao family, and if Xiao Nianzhi is free that day, it is normal to go to the house for a meal.

Yan Xingxuan sometimes hates his own sanity.

So, why does he have a brain?

Just be a fool, at this time, how good is it to start going crazy?

Unfortunately, he really can't.

Thinking of this, Yan Xingxuan couldn't help but want to sigh, but at Xiao Nianzhi's soft expectant gaze, he swallowed back silently.

He thought, in order to think about it, there is nothing wrong with having a long brain.
