Chapter 19 Kitchen Teaching
Today's table of food has earned Liu Xin enough face, and at this moment, Fuguier's toast makes Liu Xin's heart happy, but he is full of wine and food, everyone symbolically drank two glasses, and then dispersed early under the pretext of not being able to drink.
In addition to the catering in the main store of Bianliang City, most of them are equipped with entertainment, the same is true of the Imperial Dining Building, the north and south floors of the Imperial Dining Building are opposite, there is a sky corridor in the middle, the south building is mainly engaged in catering, and the north building is the joyful place of Yingge Yan Dance Night Shengge, today's friend Liu Xi is an east treat, and an entertainment after drinking is indispensable, and everyone went directly to the north building after the banquet.
Fugui'er drank two glasses of wine, saw Liu Xin's face, seemed to have something to say to Rui Niang, and thought about the food left for the two little girls in the kitchen, and also found an excuse to hurry away.
"What does Rui Niang think of today's dish?" Seeing Fuguier go out, Liu Xin hurriedly inquired about Rui Niang's opinion.
"Seventy-two stores in Bianliang City, I have almost all been to explore, but this flavor of the dish is the first time to taste, it can be described as unique, no wonder this young man claims to have no teacher, the level of operation itself is the level of the grandmaster, if there is a teacher, what a master his master is, hey, I don't know if your brother is willing to teach skills, with him alone in charge, how many tables can he deal with in a day?"
"What Rui Niang said is very true, I asked him to come to Beijing to borrow his way of horse racing betting, but I didn't expect that this little brother's way of dining is so different, this god is also, but this person doesn't like glory and only values friendship, I have a lot of trivial things and can't call him a brother every day, and the brother drinks and talks happily every night, and he has an affair with Yuzhu It seems that he can only use Yuzhu to hang him......"
"Hehe, isn't the master good at the art of mastering? Now how can even a young man from the countryside make you so at a loss, oh, remind you, that jade bead is still perfect......"
"How so? That Yuzhu's courage is also great, and she dares to deceive me and harm me......"
After listening to Rui Niang's words, Liu Xin, who has always had a gentle personality, was really angry, everyone has their own bottom line and weakness, and the betrayal and deception of the people around them are absolutely intolerable.
"Why should the master be angry, although the jade bead is still complete, but seeing the eye exchange between her and Zhu Gongzi, the two seem to keep a secret that cannot be spoken, and they are more intimate than others, you say, this Zhu Gongzi is a person who is in love, this jade bead is also a back hand, if you dispose of her at this time, it will cause the suspicion of the young man, you said that Zhu Gongzi does not like the glory of the voice only friendship, I don't believe it, the marrow of the food still knows the taste, the child who has not eaten sugar, how to know the sweetness of the sugar, the master can invite Zhu Gongzi to the north building to gather, Yes and no, you'll find out if you want to......"
This Rui Niang is an expert in observing words and looking at people's hearts, and her words immediately eliminated the anxiety and anger in Liu Xin's heart.
"Then bother Rui Niang to arrange it first, and I will take Brother Zhu to the North Building tonight......"
On both sides, Fuguier went straight to the kitchen out of the private room, and when she walked to the kitchen door, she saw a room of cooks gathered in the small kitchen to taste the dishes she had left.
"There are chicken bones, pigeon, pork bones, longan, ginger in this broth, hurry up and remember ......", "There are green onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, cumin, ...... in the oil residue"
Seeing a few cooks tossing in the kitchen like spies searching for a house, Fuguier stood at the door and was dumbfounded for a while, is this stealing art or plagiarizing core technology?
"Chef Zhu, are you back?" Lai Shun, who was standing outside the kitchen, was holding a plate of fried double crisps and savoring them carefully, and when he saw Fuguier approaching, he was startled, and the vegetables in his mouth were not swallowed, nor did he spit out, and looked at Fuguier in a daze, like a child who was annoyed by the mistake.
"You eat, you eat, it was originally reserved for the two of you," Fugui'er said, and the Maitreya Buddha-like smile appeared on her face again.
A room of people saw Fuguier enter the house, all stood there stupidly, after all, stealing skills is a taboo in the chef world, there is a saying that the apprentice of the church starves to death of the master, the chef's skill is the ability to settle down and make a living, you pay the gift to learn from the artist may not teach you, you don't apprentice to steal your ability, but such naked plagiarism, but the world despises, and now it has been caught by someone, and it will be passed out in the future, at least in the chef circle of Bianliang, Kyoto, it can't be mixed.
"There are many kinds of broth, the broth I boiled today is just the most basic one, suitable for the Shandong cuisine I do today, Shandong cuisine is mainly fresh, so this broth old hen, duck, pork bones should highlight a fresh word, umami broth plus monosodium glutamate, to reflect the umami of the dish to the fullest, come, everyone taste, this is monosodium glutamate," Fuguier handed the cloth bag he carried with him, and continued to work hard to make a living, leaving the food for the chefs to taste, fortunately there are leftover ingredients, can only be made for the two girls to make more.
The chefs took the cloth bag, carefully pinched a pinch of the so-called monosodium glutamate and put it into the fine tasting, sure enough, as Chef Zhu said, this monosodium glutamate tasted delicious to the extreme, after swallowing, there was a little aftertaste in the mouth, and there was a trace of indescribable silkiness.
"Stock, roughly divided into, hair soup, milk soup, clear soup, clear soup is divided into ordinary soup and delicate stock, in addition, sheep soup, beef soup, fish soup, etc., the use of soup stock or combined with their own dishes......
Fugui'er was talking, and his hands were not idle, a delicacy came out of the pot, and the fragrance immediately overflowed the kitchen.
"The dish I make now is called the silk yam, our Central Plains generation of iron stick yam, has always been famous, claiming that men have eaten women can't stand it, women eat too much men can't stand it, men and women eat too much and can't stand the bed......"
"Hahaha...... Hahaha......"
After listening to Fugui'er's ridicule, the tense atmosphere in the room finally eased.
"Sugar has been a favorite delicacy since ancient times, but as a condiment in the kitchen, its use has also been used to the extreme, everyone come to see, the syrup boiling is divided into water boiling and oil boiling, I am now using oil boiling, according to different uses can be divided into honey water, hanging frost, silk drawing, glass, sugar color, look, now the sugar has completely melted into milky white, at this moment is honey water......" As he spoke, Fuguier put a piece of fried yam into the pot and rolled it twice, quickly served, The golden yam segments on the plate are covered with a layer of transparent and dense juice, and you will have an appetite when you look at it.
"Everyone is not in a hurry to taste, and then look down, at this moment, yes, that is, the sugar solution is white bubbles at the moment, put in the raw materials, and leave the fire, this is the key, must be away from the fire......"
Fuguier threw a piece of peony into the pot, rolled in the sugar solution, said to leave the fire, held the iron pot away from the stove, and the sugar liquid in the pot slowly cooled, and sure enough, it hung on the body surface of the yam section like hoarfrost.
"The next thing to do is the main dish I made today, pull the shredded yam, gently scratch it with a spoon, okay, the sugar color turns yellow, there are big bubbles into small bubbles, and at this moment put the ingredients out of the pot from the fire is the glass, one, two, three, three to four breaths after the glass is the drawing," as he spoke, Fuguier threw all the yams on the plate into the pot, stir-fried twice and quickly got out of the pot, picked up the yam segment with chopsticks and pulled it gently, and really pulled out the filaments like hair.
"Good ......" the kitchen didn't know who shouted hello, followed by continuous applause.
"Haha, everyone can be in charge of this top restaurant, presumably they all have their own special skills, little brother, I have just come to offer ugliness, if the masters are not suspicious in the future, they can come to discuss with me to improve, little brother, I must be endless......"
"Master Zhu, why is the sugar color you talking about, and what is the wonderful?"
The masters are embarrassed to ask, the little apprentices don't care about these, since Chef Zhu is so generous, it is better to break the casserole and ask to the end today, and thoroughly master the use of this sugar.
"Just now we boiled to the state of pulling silk, after that, the low heat boiled slowly, until the sugar color turned into chicken blood red or called jujube red, at this time add water to boil to three or four hundred breaths to become sugar color, sugar color is mainly used in braised dishes, yesterday I ate a braised pork, the ruddy color of that dish should not be prepared with sauce, but with this sugar color, you can try to compare it when you go back......"
As Fuguier spoke, she put away her set of knives, found a food plate to hold the food she had just made, said goodbye to everyone briefly, and walked towards her bedroom on the third floor.
When Fuguier returned to the bedroom, the two little girls had already eaten, and when they saw Fuguier entering the house with food, they rushed up, and the two little girls reluctantly happily added a meal.
"Young master, is this dish really made by you?" After finishing eating with Fugui'er, Shao Ying simply cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, hurriedly sat down next to Fugui'er, and asked with a serious face.
"Of course I did it, don't I often cook for you in our hometown? Just that kebab and haggis soup can definitely be exchanged for silver in this imperial dining building......"
"Yes, I believe that the seafood feast by the sea, the sea intestine rice, we saw the young master's cooking, don't you forget, you have no conscience......" Listening to Fugui'er's answer, Chun Xi'er hurriedly helped.
"Then, then I'll sleep with you tonight, I think about it, I'll be a concubine in the future, and I won't be a girl," Shao Ying leaned closer to Fuguier, and like Chun Xi'er, the little bird leaned on Fuguier's side.
This is not good at all, I don't have the temperament of that little woman in my bones, and it is awkward and awkward to be tough.
"Okay, you, aren't you going to be a chivalrous heroine? Wife and concubine have to stay at home to teach their husband and children, these days I am preparing to ask Brother Liu to help me buy a few martial arts cheats or something for you to practice, so as to fulfill your martial arts dream, now you want to be a concubine, is it not necessary to buy martial arts cheats? ”
"Don't, don't, should I buy it or buy it, I've done enough to be a concubine and occasionally go out to be a woman, and then come back to teach her husband and children, so it's okay, right?"
"You're beautiful, what you think is beautiful...... Haha......"
The three of them talked and laughed in the house for a while, and seeing that Liu Xin didn't send anyone to look for him, and was bored in the house, Fuguier took the two little girls and went out shopping.
Wandering all the way, buying and buying all the way, when the three of them came back with a full of things, the sky was already gray, although they bought a lot of cloth rouge gouache that Fengqi County had never seen, the two little girls didn't seem to be happy, and when they returned to the house and put things on the table, they sat on the stool and kept silent.
"Okay, people haven't molested you, this wicked man will have a wicked man, we are new to the city, and we don't know the details of the people, and they dare to molest women on the street in broad daylight, so the family is definitely not an ordinary force, how can we manage this matter?"
Seeing that the two little girls were unhappy, Fuguier hurriedly opened her mouth to comfort.
"Then he's too shameless, his hands are stretched into his skirt, this Kyoto is good, it's just a lack of human touch, you look at those who look at it, they look like they can't dodge, they look disgusting......"
"Hmph, I've made a note of that person's eyebrows, and when I become a heroine in the future, I will have to cut her with a thousand knives......"
The three of them were discussing the injustices they saw when they went shopping in the afternoon, but a small servant came to pass on it, and Liu Gongzi invited Zhu Gongzi to get together in the North Building.
