Chapter 265: There's nothing that can't be solved with a bowl of fish head soup
Originally, Liu Ning came here to eat, mainly to relax. It's just that the dishes are a little problematic, mainly to broaden their horizons, Liu Ning has been a chef for a few months, and when the Chinese New Year comes, it will take almost half a year.
But in this process, I haven't communicated with my peers, and I have been making dishes by myself, even if Liu Ning is highly skilled, it is easy to be complacent.
Liu Ning came to participate in the class reunion, and also learned the dishes of these restaurants, and by the way, he could also improve his own dishes and create new dishes.
I didn't expect that my old classmate would come to deal with himself for a little contradiction in the past, and it was really hard work.
Then Liu Ning naturally wouldn't be polite, and said the shortcomings of every dish, Ji Junjie didn't understand the dishes. Wei Zhengzhi has been a chef for decades, and of course he knows.
Without speaking, looking at Wei Zhengzhi's increasingly serious face, Ji Junjie knew that what Liu Ning said was true.
"Liu Ning is so good at cooking now, I didn't expect to become a chef after not seeing him for a few years!"
"Anyway, what kind of hotel does Liu Ning open? Where is it, we will come to taste it next time. ”
"Liu Ning......"
The students watched the excitement and started to discuss.
Ji Junjie reluctantly reversed his emotions and said, "I didn't expect Liu Ning to learn your cooking skills so well, and the problem was also to the point." It's better to do this, Liu Ning, you show your hand, let us old classmates also taste Liu Ning's craftsmanship. ”
Just now, he was still pondering the question that Liu Ning said, and when he heard Ji Junjie's words, Wei Zhengzhi also raised his head, looking at Liu Ning with burning eyes, obviously wanting to see Liu Ning's true strength.
Immersed in the road of cooking for decades, cooking has long become the pride of Wei Zhengzhi, and it is also a part of Wei Zhengzhi, Liu Ning can find out so many shortcomings, if his own strength is not strong, he will not be recognized by others.
Liu Ning nodded helplessly: "Yes." ”
I just wanted to have a good meal and relax, but I didn't expect these things to happen. This gave Liu Ning a little headache.
Standing up, Liu Ning followed Wei Zhengzhi to the back kitchen of Lao Xu's house, the outside of Lao Xu's house was antique, but the back kitchen was very modern.
Ji Junjie also left with Wei Zhengzhi, and the other classmates didn't have this opportunity. This is not their territory, and it is rude to rush to someone's back kitchen.
The aisle between the back kitchen and the front desk is like a time and space tunnel, perfectly integrating the modern and ancient flavors, Liu Ning looked at the back kitchen of the old Xu family, and said that this is the first time he has come to the back kitchen of a real big hotel since he learned to cook.
The kitchen of the old Xu family, like many hotels, is distinct. Stove, pier, lotus, snack room...... And so on several rooms are very finely divided, and there is a separate room for carving.
This is relatively rare, the general hotel simply can't afford to supply food carving, and some five-star hotels, big hotels can only be seen.
Wei Zhengzhi was a little silent in front of Ji Junjie, and when he walked into the back kitchen, the momentum of the whole person changed. Spirited, this is his battlefield!
Now it has not reached the peak of serving, but there are already several tables of dishes that have begun to be served one after another. Wei Zhengzhi took Liu Ning to an empty stove and said, "The hotel is in poor condition, please forgive Mr. Liu." I didn't know what Mr. Liu was going to cook, so I asked someone to prepare it for Mr. Liu. ”
Liu Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Just make a simple one, stew fish head soup, prepare a bighead carp for me, and I will slaughter it myself." ”
Bighead carp, also known as silver carp, commonly known as fathead fish, baotou fish, etc., generally speaking, chopped pepper fish head is made of this kind of fish.
Liu Ning thought about it, if he wants to make stewed fish head soup, it is more suitable for bighead carp.
Wei Zhengzhi glanced at Liu Ning in surprise, in fact, larger hotels and hotels generally don't need masters and apprentices to do these things, and they all have regular fish killing rooms, specializing in killing fish, killing some seafood and other things.
The pier head is responsible for the knife processing of these slaughtered things, and then the semi-finished products are distributed to the corresponding stove, with a clear division of labor.
This is the model of many large hotels, and it is rare for one person to complete the entire step, and Wei Zhengzhi used semi-finished products when cooking before, because in this way he can serve the food as quickly as possible.
Surprised and surprised, Wei Zhengzhi still ordered the matter.
After a while, a bighead carp with a short arm length was wrapped, and when it was put on the cutting board, it was still alive and fresh. Liu Ning patted the fish head with a kitchen knife, and the fish stiffened directly.
Liu Ning found two long chopsticks in the kitchen, put them in the mouth of the bighead carp, and stirred them gently. The internal organs of the fish were stirred out by Liu Ning's two chopsticks.
Put it in the sink and wash it, and quickly scrape off the scales.
The treatment method of bighead carp is not the same as that of the fish in the demon world, Liu Ning secretly opened the dark gold fire pupil, saw the structure of the whole bighead carp thoroughly, and began to deal with the knife.
The previous processing steps are normal, and those who have killed fish will do it. However, Liu Ning's follow-up knife work was handled, which made the onlookers in the kitchen stunned.
Liu Ning was holding an ordinary kitchen knife in the pier in his hand, and Liu Ning took the kitchen knife and began to operate quickly. Ordinary people could only see the sword light shining rapidly, and they couldn't really see what was happening.
Wei Zhengzhi relied on his experience and could barely see that every gate of Liu Ning was deep into the fish, and he couldn't see it clearly if he was more detailed. Even if it was slid by a sharp kitchen knife, the fish did not change until Liu Ning took the fish to the empty stove, adjusted the soup and put the fish in.
Suddenly, the pieces of fish began to separate, each piece of fish was the same size, but there was no waste.
At this point, it is not something that ordinary chefs can do, and the extra waste is usually either burned or other ingredients, or simply thrown away. There are few perfect knife work treatments like Liu Ning.
Wei Zhengzhi's eyes sharpened suddenly, and he quietly watched Liu Ning operate.
For professional people, these subtleties can reflect the real strength, and Liu Ning's true strength has been shown, and this alone can impress him.
After a while, Liu Ning finished the entire stewed fish head soup.
Liu Ning is still a little unaccustomed to the kitchenware here, otherwise he will be able to complete the whole process in less than a minute by manipulating the flame.
Rao is like this, the speed of the stewed fish head soup in the steamer only adds up to two or three minutes, which still surprised several other chefs, and Wei Zhengzhi also couldn't believe it: "It's cooked so quickly?"
The speed at which the soup was cooking in the kitchen was multiple, and Wei Zhengzhi knew it, so he couldn't believe it.
Liu Ning nodded lightly: "You can taste it." ”
Wei Zhengzhi hesitated and took a soup spoon and scooped two spoonfuls from the stewed fish head soup. He took out a spoon and drank it.
After a few bites, Wei Zhengzhi sighed and said, "I took it." ”
