Chef of the Metropolitan Water Superintendent Section 26
And now everyone understands why when they came in, they saw a whole pot of clean fish meat, and there was no trace of fish skin on it, it turned out that it was handled by Zheng Wan with skills.
After understanding this secret, everyone was once again engrossed in Zheng Wan's hands.
Soon, Zheng Wan disposed of the three fish in front of everyone, and she felt that the display was almost done, so she immediately asked everyone to prepare for themselves.
"Today's task is very heavy, and it is impossible to handle it all alone, so let's try it all."
"No."
A little timid trembling voice sounded in the back kitchen, and everyone was really worried that they would not be as skilled as Zheng Wan and waste ingredients.
But if you don't, you won't have such a precious teaching opportunity again.
After Zheng Wan watched everyone start to move, he immediately walked up to Zhao Qingyou and instructed:
"Sister Qingyou still remembers the last time she made the wonton filling, she added fishy water to the meat filling, and she hoped that Sister could finish this part."
"The lady commands."
"It is to pour the boiling water into a bowl that already contains ginger and shallots and peppercorns, but the ginger needs to be crushed, and the green onion also needs to be crushed, so that the juice inside can be mixed into the boiling water as much as possible."
"I understand, let's go."
After receiving the order, Zhao Qingyou immediately began to do things.
Zheng Wan returned to the board and continued to teach everyone the techniques of handling fish, and even took everyone's hands to act together in order to speed up.
After watching the fish handle most of it, she immediately called the man with a lot of strength.
"You need to break the processed fish with sticks, preferably to the point where they are sticky."
Everyone looked at the fish in the basin and the prepared sticks, and immediately agreed: "I will never disappoint the lady's expectations." ”
They used to do odd jobs, but now they can directly participate in the preparation of meals, and it is too late to be happy.
So, in the back kitchen, where there should be a tinkling sound, there was a sudden dull "Bang Bang! ”
I don't know what happened in the back kitchen, and the sound of those pounds on the fish is too similar to the sound of fighting.
When the steward found out that he was beating the fish, he quickly retracted his feet, looked at everyone with a smile and said:
"You guys go on, you're curious about what the chef's breakfast is today?"
Hearing the inquiry, Zheng Wan immediately replied: "What I prepared today is a fish ball." ”
"Good, good! A certain is waiting for Zheng Niangzi's breakfast. ”
After saying that, he left with a smile again, only this time he left a little short distance, turned around and walked a few steps, and sat down early in the dining area.
The work in the back kitchen continued, Zheng Wan looked at the slimy fish in everyone's basin, found the right time, and added the green onion, ginger, pepper water, salt, white wine, egg white and starch water prepared by Zhao Qingyou to it.
These ingredients can help to remove the smell of the fish, as well as help you knead the minced fish into balls more easily, enhancing the taste of the fish balls.
Soon, under the beating of everyone, the fish meat that was still a little blood-colored gradually turned into a whole pot of pale pink sticky meat puree.
And you can't feel the faint fishy smell lingering on the tip of your nose before, everyone once again felt the fishy effect of the bowl of green onion, ginger and pepper water, and you can also try one or two when you cook by yourself in the future.
Zheng Wan immediately got busy again, informing the person in charge of the fire what he needed to pay attention to later.
"Remember, when you put the fish balls into the wok later, you must not let the water in the wok roll, and you must maintain the state of opening but not opening, so as to avoid the rolling boiling water from knocking the fish balls apart."
"Zheng Niangzi, remember, I will definitely be optimistic about the heat."
"Then I'll leave the responsibility to you."
Hearing this, Jiang Man nodded heavily, she had never felt that her work was so important, looking at Zheng Wan's trusting eyes, she would definitely do what the other party explained.
Zheng Wan didn't notice that she was now more anxious to replace the pounded minced fish and continue to send the freshly cut fish meat of others over to be beaten.
After dealing with this, she also noticed that the wok was starting to steam, and realized that it was time to put fish balls.
She hurried to the stove with a basin and took out a spoon from the cabinet behind her.
Then, in the puzzled eyes of everyone, she put her hand into the minced fish in the basin, and directly grabbed a handful and put it in the palm of her hand.
Then the spoon in his right hand is aimed at the squeezed out meat ball, and gently put it into the steaming water, and as soon as the spoon is removed, the meatballs instantly float in the water, showing a posture of half air and half water.
After a while, the whole surface of the water floated with such fish balls, and the color of the fish balls changed from pale pink to white as the temperature continued to rise, and it seemed to be ripe.
Everyone couldn't help but slow down their breathing, waiting for Zheng Wan's next move.
saw her leisurely and complacently continue to stare at the fish balls in the wok, just when everyone felt that they were about to be confused by the umami that kept drilling into their noses, Zheng Wan took the chopsticks in his hand and slapped the fish balls on the water.
The fish balls were instantly scattered by this action, and the calm and waveless water surface brought up a circle of ripples.
Everyone was confused, but Zheng Wan sensed from the touch of chopsticks and fish balls that these fish balls had been formed and could be cooked and eaten.
So he added ginger slices and white wine to the wok at will, and said to Jiang Man: "Now you can increase the heat and cook the fish balls directly." ”
"No."
Jiang Man immediately added firewood to the stove, and a raging fire instantly ignited inside, which was originally half-boiled hot water, and quickly rolled under the fierce attack of the fire.
The fish balls floating on the surface of the water immediately float and collide with the rolling splash, which is particularly interesting.
Zhao Qingyou also noticed Zheng Wan's words and immediately asked:
"Can the lady start preparing for breakfast now? So what seasoning should be added to these fish balls? ”
"It's okay, the water in which the fish balls are boiled is already salty, so add chopped seaweed and chopped green onions to the bowl, and pour it with the fish balls and the soup used to cook the fish balls."
"No."
Zhao Qingyou immediately understood that this fish ball had many similarities with corn and pork wontons, both of which needed to be fishy, but the fish ball was even more umami, just now, she could smell the fresh fragrance.
As soon as they were about to start moving, An Yunhuan, who was sitting in the dining area, immediately noticed that he hurriedly stood up in his chair and found a place to stand.
Even if the position he chose was better, he actually ranked first.
As soon as Zhao Qingyou brought out the fish balls, he saw the security manager standing proudly in the first place, looking at the other party's smile, there was a faint annoying feeling.
She was not mistaken, after An Yunhuan grabbed the first place, he immediately threw a contemptuous gaze at other people who were slower than herself, coupled with that sly smile, which made people grit their teeth when they saw it.
Zhao Qingyou didn't care about these things outside the kitchen, brought the fish balls to the security manager, and habitually introduced:
"This is the breakfast served by the chef today-Fish Balls, please enjoy it."
"Thank you."
As soon as the words fell, An Yunhuan couldn't wait to walk towards the dining area with his fish balls.
It can be said that the one who came early can not only eat early, but also sit and eat, and he looked at the fish balls in front of him with satisfaction.
I saw that above the clear soup, sprinkled with green green onions, dark green seaweed, and white fish balls with nowhere to hide, just from the color, it was already very tempting.
He took a deep breath, and the gas covered with umami substance instantly poured into his nasal cavity, causing a throbbing in the depths of his soul.
Then, unable to control his movements any longer, he took a spoon and randomly selected a lucky fish ball to put in his mouth.
The hot temperature made him exhale subconsciously, and after feeling the adaptation, he immediately controlled the fish ball between his teeth, aimed it at the position, and bit it hard.
"Click!"
An Yunhuan directly let the upper and lower teeth collide, and the feeling of emptiness made his heart skip a beat, and he didn't expect the fish balls to escape the control of his teeth, and in the fierce action just now, he danced directly in his mouth.
Feeling the fish ball hit the right side from the left tooth, and then it jumped up and down, and it couldn't be controlled quickly for a while.
The touch of the elastic teeth made his eyes widen instantly, and his eyes glowed as he looked at the fish balls in front of him, and he couldn't figure out how Zheng Wan made ordinary fish meat with such a taste.
But what he didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.
When he bit the fish ball again, he also used the tip of his tongue against it to prevent the fish ball from escaping control, but the moment he bit the fish ball, a stream of delicious juice instantly shot out of the fish ball, impacting the entire mouth, and his mouth seemed to bite into some umami emanation, indulging in the sweetness of the juice.
The feeling of being elastic before the bite brought him a wonderful enjoyment, mixed with sweet fish balls, which surprised him.
He felt that he was fully prepared for the later fish balls, but when he bit into the fish balls again, he felt that he still couldn't help but be intoxicated by the umami and springy taste.
After a while, a whole bowl of fish balls was swallowed by him, and there was not even a little soup left at the bottom of the bowl.
If he hadn't watched Zheng Wan take out the fish that had been stored for two days from the warehouse, he wouldn't have believed that the fish balls he had just eaten were originally fish with such a strong fishy smell.
However, he can't be allowed to think about it too much, and if he doesn't line up quickly, it is estimated that it will be troublesome whether the second bowl can be eaten in his mouth today.
An Yunhuan looked at the crowd in front of him in confusion, obviously it was a day off, why did the number of people who came to the public kitchen suddenly increase so much?
Niu Xinlu and Liu Quan looked at the guards standing in front of them, and they also wanted to ask this question.
Speaking carefully, this matter has a lot to do with Cui Zhiyun.
Yesterday, the guard who was in charge of guarding the back of the capital water prison watched Cui Zhiyun help Zheng Wan carry a burlap bag into the backyard.
You must know that it is just a shabby burlap bag that is brown in color, and who is Cui Zhiyun, who is the future ruler of the Boling Cui clan, and that kind of vulgar and unbearable thing can't get into the eyes of Cui Zhiyun, a child of the five surnames who is used to seeing silk and satin.
So except for the reason why Cui Zhiyun fell in love with Zheng Wan, everyone's somewhat rigid heads couldn't think of other reasons at all.
In addition, there are also rumors in private that Zheng Wan can stay in the capital water prison as a handyman, also because of Cui Zhiyun's words.
Du Mingzhao, who was eating fish balls at this time, almost choked himself to death in a wolfing posture.
"Ahem, ahem!"
He quickly coughed and relieved, continued to hold the fish balls in his mouth, and secretly thought: Could it be that someone is saying bad things about himself?
Cui Zhiyun, who carried the black pot for Du Mingzhao, really had something to say.
So after all kinds of coincidences are linked, everyone is more and more sure of their guesses.
thought that even if Zheng Wan was accepted as a concubine by Cui Jian Cheng, it would be a high-ranking figure that they couldn't befriend, so they wanted to take advantage of the time that Zheng Wan was still working in the capital water supervisor to make friends or two.
It doesn't matter how good it is, as long as you leave your name in Zheng Niangzi's heart.
For this reason, they also deliberately inquired about Zheng Wan's specific information in private, wanting to do what he liked.
It's hard to inquire like this, Zheng Wan's image has changed from the concubine of the young patriarch of the Boling Cui clan who should have been stammered to an omnipotent cook, and at the breakfast time she is responsible for, you can eat all kinds of delicacies, which may only be enjoyed by the nobles of the gate.
But they were still a little suspicious, and couldn't help but say to their friends who inquired about the news:
"Xu Wu, you shouldn't coax us, right?"
"How is that possible? Is that kind of person? After we finish fishing every day, we will go to the back kitchen to have a beautiful meal and then go home to rest, and most of the fishermen have breakfast there, what are you lying to! ”
"Then why hasn't there been any news before?"
Speaking of this, Xu Wu also said with some embarrassment:
"That's... It's not that everyone thinks that the food made by Zheng Niangzi is too delicious, and our group of people is not enough, and it will reach the ears of others, and it will be even more difficult to eat in the future. ”
