Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 830 Husband and wife file (seeking monthly ticket)
At this time, the music in the banquet hall also rang, but Chen Nian and the others were busy in the kitchen and couldn't hear it.

Only the clanging of pots and pans and the sound of kitchen knives falling could be heard.

Now Chen Nian is preparing Wensi Tofu, because although this dish is not so difficult in the subsequent production process, it can even be handed over to Xie Yu and Qiao Zhaomei.

But it is still very troublesome to cut Wensi tofu.

"Li Ting, come over and help me."

Now Li Ting's knife skills are no less than his own, so Chen Nian directly asked this apprentice to help, and the two kept cutting tofu, cutting one box after another.

But Huo Fuyun's apprentices saw Chen Nian's actions and wanted to come over to see them one by one, and couldn't abandon the work at hand.

"Boss Chen, you are too good at this. Obviously everyone is about the same age, why can you know so many dishes?"

Chen Nian smiled: "The main thing is to practice more at ordinary times. If you do more, you will naturally be able to."

Everyone understands the truth, but whether it can be done is another matter.

Some of them have also followed Huo Fuyun for a long time. It is the most basic level to reach the level of "knowledge" in the dishes they have cooked in the past, and some of their signature dishes are also able to "knowledge" "cooked", but only two people can make some dishes "fine". Generally speaking, if you can cook to this level, you can almost go to some big restaurants to cook.

Because precision is already a quantitative change on the basis of quality compared to cooking. After years of cooking a dish, you can know how much seasoning is added without even looking at it. Most people who cook well at home, In fact, it has only reached the point of familiarity.

It's just that not everyone can achieve the "absolute" on the Internet. Perhaps only a few people out of tens of millions of people in a province can achieve it.

And to reach this point, it is possible to establish a sect.

Perhaps when someone else is processing the ingredients of the same dish, add more seasonings, and increase or decrease the proportion of some other seasonings, which can make the taste more delicious.

But the same majority of ordinary people can’t really taste this kind of taste. It’s not like how fast an athlete can win the championship in 0.1 seconds in the Olympics. Those numbers are clearly displayed on the screen, but the food The real judgment of something that is mixed with human subjective consciousness has to be considered by professionals from various angles.

Perhaps the comparison of ordinary chef competitions is simply whether it tastes good or not.

A slightly more advanced chef will start to consider the color and the combination of ingredients, as well as whether the complex taste of the food itself can be better integrated with the ingredients.

More advanced chefs will also take the presentation into consideration. In this regard, they will work hard to study and ponder how to make the presentation better, more pleasing to the eye, and more appetizing.

In addition to the above factors, top chefs will additionally consider whether the nutritional combination of this dish is balanced, and will consider adding some carving elements to the plate, and whether more careful processing can be done in the process to make the finished dish more delicious. It highlights the taste and texture of the main ingredients.

It is even like that in some very high-end restaurants, a dish may only be eaten for one or two bites. This is also the chef who has considered that the first two bites are the best flavor of a dish.

It's just that this way of eating is not suitable for most ordinary people, because everyone has different requirements for a dish, so the attributes of this dish for them are also different.

Of course, as far as old age is concerned, he still can't appreciate the restaurant with only one or two bites of a dish, but if he is asked to cook, he can cook it.

As the time came to [-]:[-], Chen Nian started to make honeycomb double treasure dumplings again.

Since the water oil skin and pastry have been made just now, they can be used directly after aging.

"Xiaohai Xiaohai, come and help."

"First fold the pastry in the water and oil skin, but you don't need to fold too much, just fold it three or four times. This is relatively simple to do. After you fold these, put them directly in the steamer, and put them in the steamer regularly. Three 10 minutes, call me when you're done."

"Good master."

After assigning this job to He Hai, Chen Nian saw that the tofu was almost cut, so he began to prepare to make King Crab Wensi Tofu. Since this soup dish has to be divided into several layers, it has to be made in advance. OK.

Put different ingredients into the pot respectively, and Chen Nian asked Huo Fuyun's apprentice to help watch for a while.

Giving different jobs to different people can also prevent chaos when the time comes.

By this time, the guests outside were almost seated, and the stars that Xue Yan specially invited for his sister's wedding began to perform on stage.

After everyone sings two or three songs, they step off the stage and change people.

At around 50:8, the wedding ceremony will begin in [-] minutes. Chen Nian asked the waiters to take out the cold dishes for the banquet and put them on the table.

As the wedding officially started, Chen Nian also started to cook fish.

In the banquet, the fish is usually served a little earlier, because the texture of the fish itself is very delicate, and it is most suitable when the diners have not eaten much and the taste in their mouths is relatively light.

The species of fish used in the old age is yellow croaker, and these fish are also the best quality yellow croakers that the old age specially told the other party to send.

Since the season is still a bit short, this yellow croaker is still far from the top quality, but as far as this season is concerned, this is already the highest quality they can get.

"Master, shall we make this yellow croaker into soup?"

"Yes, yellow croaker in soup is the main dish in the Man Han Quan Banquet. You guys help me to deal with it first, and I will do it later."

"The first thing is to debone the fish. It is necessary to get out all the internal organs and bones inside while ensuring the integrity of the fish body." Chen Nian said.

"Master, I can do this." Hearing this, Li Ting raised his hand, and one of Huo Fuyun's apprentices also said that he could do it.

Chen Nian looked up at the other party, it was Huo Fuyun's big apprentice.

"Okay, then you guys help me fix it first, wash the inside after it's done, and put it aside."

In this way, Chen Nian was handling the fish while listening to the movement outside, after he, Li Ting and Huo Fuyun's senior disciples had finished handling the fish almost.

The lobby manager outside came in and said that the ceremony was almost done and the food could be served.

Chen Nian immediately arranged for people to start placing the dishes.

The first is sea cucumbers with green onions. Originally, the sea cucumbers with green onions were served on a whole plate, but for the sake of high quality, this time they directly chose to use small plates.

On a porcelain white round plate, there are sea cucumbers on the left and an onion on the right, and then the soup is poured on it, and a small sprig of seaweed is garnished next to it.

After Chen Nian taught Qiao Zhaomei how to set the plate, Qiao Zhaomei started to set the plate with an apprentice from Huo Fuyun's side.

The plate is hot, and the purpose is to ensure that the sea cucumbers do not cool down so quickly.

One after another, the dining carts were pushed out, and the waiters brought these sea cucumbers with green onions to the dining table, and placed them one by one in front of the guests.

"This dish should be sea cucumber with scallions, right? I had it before when I was in BJ."

"It should be, but the quality of this sea cucumber looks so high. The first dish is so good, and the following dishes will definitely not be bad."

"That's necessary. Mr. Xue is so rich, so his sister's wedding must be upscale."

Everyone ate sea cucumbers with scallions and were full of praise, but there were also some who were not used to sea cucumbers, so they passed this dish to the people next to them.

After all, although this dish is famous and expensive, some people don't like the taste of sea cucumbers, and some people feel hairy just looking at sea cucumbers.

It’s just that the overall guests feel that this dish is quite good after tasting it. The onion flavor is strong, the sauce is mellow, and it is a bit sticky. The sea cucumber is so soft that it melts in the mouth.

Just as the roasted sea cucumbers with green onions were being brought out, Xie Yu glanced at the time: "Master, the eight-treasure chicken is ready."

"Well, let's serve!"

With the shout of Chen Nian, everyone started to get busy again. Steamed eight-treasure chicken is a classic Shandong dish. The ingredients such as scallops, peas, and tendons that go in are very delicious.

It was the same table just now. After seeing this dish, they couldn't help being a little curious. Originally, they thought that the first dish was roasted sea cucumber with scallions. Wouldn't the following dishes be more explosive?But now it looks like an ordinary stewed chicken soup...

"Hi, what's the name of this dish?" So they grabbed the waiter and asked.

"Hello, this dish is called steamed eight-treasure bagged chicken, and the real good stuff is in it."

Hearing this, they immediately felt that this dish was different, because the dishes they had eaten before were the same as those they saw in movies and TV dramas, the dishes that can stuff chicken stomachs are usually not So simple.

"Hello, do you need to separate the chicken for everyone?" After the dishes were served, all the waiters on the table asked at the same time.

"Okay, let's get it out of the way."

Then the waiter took the public chopsticks and the public spoon to cut the chicken body. The deboned chicken body has been steamed for a long time. At this time, there is no hindrance when cutting.

The moment the chicken was cut open, the eight ingredients inside were also exposed, and at the same time a strong fragrance permeated the air.

"smell good."

Everyone couldn't help admiring.

This is the aroma of the fusion of the chicken itself and the ingredients in it. It is very fresh and very attractive.

Immediately afterwards, the diners took the bowls and spoons and began to turn the table one by one to serve them up.

First make some soup in a bowl, then a spoonful of chicken stuffing, and finally put a piece of chicken in the bowl.

"This chicken soup is really fresh. I don't think any extra seasonings have been added. This is the best chicken soup I've ever had this year. It's really made by the chef. It's just different."

"Yeah, this chicken is also stewed very soft, and it doesn't taste bad at all, but it's very tender."

"Haven't you noticed? The chicken he uses is that kind of chicken. The chicken doesn't need to be marinated too much, and the meat itself will be very tender. My family also runs a restaurant, so I also understand this aspect. Some."

"Then do you want to consider bringing this chef into your restaurant?"

"Are you kidding? How is this possible? Boss Chen is the cook this time. He has his own restaurant. How could he not open his own restaurant and go to work in our restaurant?"

"That's still not enough money. I don't believe you put 1000 million on the table, but he doesn't agree."

"What are you talking about? My family won't agree, unless my dad asks me to start my own business in the future."

The same diners were also very fond of this dish.

I can't stop commenting.

The parents of the newlyweds came to toast, and everyone raised their glasses to greet each other.

"Congratulations uncle, you have accomplished another major event in your life."

"When will Xiaoxue have a child? She promised me before that I would be her child's godmother."

The couple's parents, Xue Yan's uncle and aunt, only smiled and said that they would urge them to have a baby as soon as possible, after all, they were also waiting to have grandchildren.

At this time, Chen Nian has already arranged everyone in the kitchen to prepare to jump over the wall. This dish is the most expensive dish on the table today. It has the same specifications as last time. Just one cup is worth tens of thousands, and it is only the ingredients. The price itself does not include aging processing fees.

But when the food was served, another customer stopped the waiter and asked about the dish.

"Hello sir, I don't know exactly how this dish is made, but I heard they said that this dish was made seven days ago.

It was transported here by car last night and simmered for another night. There are [-] kinds of precious ingredients in it. "

"It's been so long for seven days?"

"Yes, I heard that this dish uses the most authentic method, and it is also the most expensive dish on this table."

"Then I have to try it. I ate Buddha Jumping over the Wall three years ago in Fujian. The Buddha Jumping Over the Wall took seven days, so it must taste better."

After the other party finished speaking, he let the waiter go, and began to taste carefully with a spoon.

The golden and rich soup seems to have condensed into a semi-solid state in the spoon, and you can smell a strong fresh fragrance when you get close to it.

The soup in the mouth is like jelly, it melts instantly, turns into soup, and flows into the throat.

"Not bad! It really feels better than what I ate last time."

At this time, An Hongdou was playing the guitar and singing on the stage, and she also felt happy when she heard the diners below kept praising the dishes that were served one after another.

"Isn't this just a husband and wife restaurant? Chen Nian cooks in the back and I sing here."

It was the first time she experienced this feeling.

And looking at the relatives and friends of the newlyweds below, she couldn't help but imagine what it would be like when she got married.
