I am Qinxing No.1

Chapter 380
Many of the people present are old Bai’an. After decades of Bai’s career, it would be nonsense to say that they have never made jujube paste, but the masters present counted one by one, and they have never seen such jujube paste.

There is no such thing as post-filtering, and the jujube skin, which may bring a bitter taste, is not damaged at all. Other people's jujube paste is filtered out with gauze afterwards, and Zhou Dong's jujube paste is directly taken out.

The entire pot of jujubes has now turned into paper-like transparent 'little red lanterns', all of which look like works of art.

Gu Yanan suddenly became childlike, walked over to Zhou Dong's empty jujube shells piled on the noodle table and blew lightly, and immediately rolled all over the table, making her giggle: "Old Zhou, you are really good. Such a thin jujube skin, thank you for digging it out."

Everyone was taken aback, Lao Zhou?Is the relationship between Mr. Gu and Chef Zhou unusual?

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, please don't mess with these jujube shells. If you fill these jujube shells with walnuts and pour some honey, it will be a very delicious snack."

Zhou Aiguo interjected after hearing the words: "Teacher, didn't you say that the aftertaste of jujube husks is bitter and not easy to use?"

"Hehe, this is the interaction between ingredients.

In this sweet soup walnut cheese, not only must the jujube skin be removed, but also the jujube skin should not be damaged in the process of removal, and the bitter taste will flow out, otherwise the delicacy will be ruined.

But if it’s the ‘jujube-coated walnut crisp’ I’m talking about, it’s different. The aftertaste of walnuts is inherently bitter, and what’s important about eating walnuts is ‘bitter first, then sweet’. Increase bitterness, but more sweetness. This is the interaction between ingredients, and it is not static. "

Well said!Everyone heard it as if they were enlightened, Gu Yacheng looked at Zhou Dong, and sure enough, the young master deserved his reputation!Should I think about it myself?If the Gu family's financial connections were mobilized to push him away from the feast, God knows if he would come back?
In case someone "unspeakable nobleman" takes a fancy to him, wouldn't the Gu family lose their wife and lose their army, then it would be embarrassing!

Zhou Dong handed over the jujube paste that he dug out to Fatty and Zhou Aiguo, and asked them to saccharify the water with old rocks. While adding water to the jujube paste, they stirred it evenly, and he also gave a set rule for the amount of water and sugar.

The two went happily, what is Qinxing's qualifications?Being able to follow a famous chef like Zhou Dong to make this almost lost 'sweet soup with walnut cheese' is the hardest qualification!When you go to any dim sum shop, at least you have to be a chef!
After processing the dates, it is the walnut that is a headache. If it is more difficult to process, it is easier to process the bitter skin in the walnut than Zhou Dong digs the date, but it is more cumbersome. The walnut is shaped like a human brain and a ravine. Vertically and horizontally, to remove the bitter skin without hurting the walnut flesh, how meticulous is this work?

Everyone thought that Zhou Dong would have to spend more time on this, but they didn't expect that after he broke open the walnuts one by one, he quickly roasted them on the fire, then picked a small hole in the bitter skin with his nails, and took a brush to clean the walnuts. Sweeping back and forth, or swirling lightly occasionally, pieces of bitter skin will be brushed off, and there is no need to break the walnut flesh, each walnut flesh is complete, and the circle is placed there, it is really cute.

Some masters quietly picked up the walnut meat to check, and found that Zhou Dong peeled it very cleanly, even in the deepest gully, there was no half-star bitter skin left, and they were stunned. No wonder this delicacy is about to be extinct. I'm afraid I won't be able to practice in this life. It seems that steamed buns are more suitable for me.Someone beside him immediately laughed and said, "You can't steam steamed buns like Master Zhou, how much can you learn from people's dogs ignoring you?"

However, walnuts cannot be processed like jujube paste, let alone pounded in a bowl, as that will lose too much oil in the walnuts. Zhou Dong cut these walnuts into puree with a knife. When the work was finally completed, some masters I leaned over to look, and found that there was not even a speck of oil on the chopping board.
In martial arts novels, a knight's sword does not leave blood, but Master Zhou, this sword does not leave blood!Although it was because of the incomparably sharpness of that precious kitchen knife, this fast and accurate knife skill really surprised many people.

After the walnuts and red dates are processed, the rest is relatively simple. Looking at his Su brothers eagerly, Zhou Dong felt that the master should let the students soak in the rain and dew, so he taught them to mix rice milk, walnuts, etc. Crumbs, jujube paste and boil together in a small medicine pot.

This dessert was supposed to be cooked with bocho, but it is a pity that this kind of traditional kitchen utensils can no longer be found. Although the medicine jar is also made of clay, it is thicker than bocho, so the firepower must be increased. Ask Zhou Dong to watch the fire in person.

Zhou Dong just watched from the sidelines, controlling the fire every time to burn the walnut cheese to the point where it was about to overflow, and then immediately reduced the firepower before it overflowed.

One must know that if the firepower is not well controlled, it will really overflow. The heat transfer of the medicine jar is slow, and the fever is also slow. Even the master who has been on the stove for many years may miss it.

Once the cheese juice overflows, the essence of this jar of walnut cheese will be lost, and it will be considered useless.

Zhou Dong, on the other hand, seemed to be an old hand at using this kind of medicine pot. Everyone was more nervous than watching people walking on a tightrope, but he kept his eyes on the fire while not forgetting to explain to a few students when they encountered this kind of slow-heating utensil. How to judge the level of firepower turned out to be a jar of walnut cheese cooked while 'teaching'.

Seeing that the heat was up, Zhou Dong quickly turned off the fire, and covered the medicine jar with the lid, but no matter how fast his hand was, a seductive sweet fragrance rose up, it was not the kind of overwhelming sweetness, as elegant as Lan, which is also mixed with a sense of cold cheese fragrance.

What is cold cheese fragrance?It means you cut a piece of high-quality cheese and sniff it with your nose the moment you cut it. The smell is really fresher than fresh milk, just like the smell you smelled from your mother when you were a child.

Gu Yacheng's eyes lit up suddenly. That time at the party in Kyoto, he went out to eat with others, and his status in that circle was obviously not enough. The descendant of the royal chef had a big temper, so he made a small pot of sweet soup Walnut cheese, he got less than half a bowl of it in the end. After tasting it, it was unforgettable for a long time. As soon as the aroma in the medicine jar came out, he immediately recalled it. This is the taste!

"Chef Zhou, the walnut cheese is ready, would you like to share it with us?"

Not counting the chefs in the back kitchen, just myself, my sister and the one named Long, I guess this medicine jar may not be enough, let alone a lot of customers who linger outside!Gu Yacheng thinks that at this time, it is the caller who speaks first and speaks second.

Zhou Dong waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, this sweet soup walnut cheese is not fried liver, it should be eaten warm, and it will taste best with a lid on it.

Fatty is patriotic, Su Da Su Er, continue.

These materials can make seven or eight cans of walnut cheese, and the guests outside are waiting."

The stir-fried liver that Zhou Dong mentioned is a famous breakfast in Kyoto. Don’t just think it’s a dish when you hear something stir-fried. This is actually a kind of soup.

How hot is this thing?Foreigners who don't understand will at least lose a layer of skin in their mouths!To drink this thing, you have to drink it from a bowl while walking around in circles. It is so fragrant and hot, and you can spray magma in your mouth after drinking it.

The crowd drooled and waited for a full 10 minutes before Zhou Dong lifted the lid and divided the sweet soup with walnut cheese into several lotus seed bowls, asking Fatty and the others to distribute it to the Gu brothers and sisters Long Dashen and the guests waiting outside.

The chefs in the back kitchen can only drool beside them. After all, this is the breakfast department, and there is no reason for the guests to eat first.

Gu Yanan looked down, and saw that the small bowl of sweet soup with walnut cheese was slightly purple, and because of the addition of rice milk, it turned into a bright purple color, which was dazzling under the light !At the same time, the aroma of jujube and walnut is tangy, and I feel warm all over my body before I drink it, and a burst of anger rises from my stomach.

The girl was startled. Although Jinyi Yushi had never been hungry since she was a child, she had heard from several chefs at Kyushu Dingshi that this kind of qi was called 'gluttony' or 'hungry', and it was human. A normal physiological reaction, usually when you see something you really want to eat. If you don't satisfy your craving as soon as possible, you will have to drool, and your stomach will growl when you can't stop it.
The ancient beauty was terrified, how embarrassing would it be if her stomach growled?Quickly picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of walnut cheese into the small mouth.At this time, I feel that Zhou Dong is too caring, this thing has to be drunk warm, if he is as impatient as his brother, I am afraid that he will burn himself to death if he is not greedy.

This walnut cheese is sticky and sweet in the mouth. Girls like it the most. Gu Yanan couldn't bear to swallow it in one breath. Holding this slippery and sticky thing on Lilac's small tongue Turn around, and every time you turn around, the aroma in your mouth becomes more intense.

I have never seen anyone who can make sweet soup into this kind of taste. It is called soup, but it tastes like a slightly thinner jelly in the mouth, with a lingering aroma, as if to wrap people's tongues Just live!
It has to be pierced with the tip of the tongue, and because people's taste buds are different in sensitivity, only the most sensitive tip of the tongue can experience the "cold cheese fragrance". The taste is wrapped, this is not the kind of tamping and fierce sweetness, the date paste mixed with walnut oil enhances the taste, and at the same time perfectly blends with the date paste, making the taste of this walnut cheese more lingering.

The rich taste of this sweet soup with walnut cheese is just like her heart for Zhou Dong. After eating a bowl of walnut cheese, Gu Yanan's pretty face turned red, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring.

Gu Yacheng had already eaten it all. Relying on his status as the chairman, the unreasonable Long Dashen lay on the mouth of the medicine jar to snatch the leftovers. Anyone who doesn't lick the bottom of the jar clean is not reconciled.

The follow-up cans of sweet soup walnut cheese were packed in lotus seed bowls and brought to the front hall by the waiter. The whole breakfast room was immediately filled with bursts of aroma, overflowing to the street, and immediately attracted many new customers. Most of them have eaten breakfast a long time ago, but they just passed by here, and they asked what kind of dessert it was as soon as they entered the door, so delicious?

After being told that it was sold out, these new customers silently wrote down the names of the breakfast department of Kyushu Dingshi before turning around and leaving. This scene almost made Liu Changqing smile crookedly.

"Girl, with Zhou Dong's skill, even if he went to 'that grand feast', he would definitely not lose face.

Now I am worried that his craftsmanship is too good, if those "unspeakable nobles of the country" keep him, it will be too late for us to cry."

Gu Yacheng reluctantly glanced at the seven or eight medicine jars that were already empty, and lowered his voice in Gu Yanan's ear.

"I have confidence in Zhou Dong, he has feelings for Kyushu Dingshi."

Gu Yanan said: "And now we have no way out."

Gu Yacheng nodded: "Okay, let's start with the 'Zhou's private room hall' first.

I am also here this time to attend the meeting as the chairman of Shangzhou Group. The opening of the private room hall is a relatively 'personal' matter for Zhou Dong, but it will also have more or less influence on the other cuisines. A chef always has to be part of the discussion.

These cuisines have always had both cooperation and competition. Once Zhou Dong’s private restaurant is established, it will more or less affect the previous eight major cuisines. I’m afraid that some people will feel uncomfortable. If there is chaos inside Kyushu Dingshi Get up, that's called trouble. "

Gu Yanan nodded when she heard the words. In fact, she also had such worries.

***
The worries of the brothers and sisters of the Gu family are not unreasonable. Among the eight major cuisines of Kyushu Dingshi, apart from Lu Chu Shen Gongdao, Su Chu Shang Shicheng, Sichuan Cuisine Qin Chef and Zhou Dong, the rest have no relationship with Zhou Dong. Many, Zhou's private dining room opened, what are the thoughts of these chefs, no one can say for sure.

Why is Kyushu Dingshi's business booming?One is because the capital of Chu is located at the junction of the north and the south, there are guests of all tastes, and the other is because the grade is high enough, isn't it just a matter of face to treat guests to dinner these days?Take Sichuan cuisine as an example, Chef Qin can't guarantee that every dish of his is the best in Chudu, but people in Chudu still think of Kyushu Dingshi first when they talk about Sichuan cuisine.

In the past, there was competition between the eight chefs of Kyushu Dingshi, but although everyone has a high and a low strength, but the whole is like a brother and sister. It is said that they can't take away guests from other cuisines, and the eight chefs call each other brothers and brothers, and their status is equal.

But now that Zhou Dong suddenly appeared, the situation changed subtly.

Although everyone likes Zhou Dong, a young man, the eight chefs who were originally at the top of the Kyushu Dingshi Pyramid became the middle level as soon as Zhou's private kitchen hall appeared.

Isn't this obvious?The eight major cuisines all operate in a large front hall. There are scattered seats and private rooms. No matter how high the grade is, it is a common model in hotels. The private room is different. It occupies less than half of the [-]th floor, not to mention, it may not be a day when it opens They may not be able to produce a table of dishes.

Who doesn't know the truth that things are rare and expensive?Compared with the front halls of the eight major cuisines, Zhou Dong's private hall is a "limited edition", and the status in the world is obviously different.

Gu Yacheng has also seen a lot of various competition methods in the workplace. He said that Zhou Dong is a good cook and has his future brother-in-law behind him, but it can't stand that these eight chefs are all veterans?People in the industry want to figure out who is going to come up with all kinds of means, and I'm afraid it's impossible to guard against!

Zhou Dong's private room is different from the big wine tank. Before the opening, Kyushu Dingshi will definitely hold a chef meeting. The purpose is to establish the status of the private room, seek common ground while reserving differences, and achieve common prosperity. If he doesn't come in person, he will be really afraid of his sister Can't hold back the scene.

Zhou Dong always had the most headaches when it came to meetings, but he also knew that the brothers and sisters of the Gu family were thinking of him, so he agreed, because the opening of the private room was just the day after tomorrow, and it was already imminent, and the chef's meeting was set for tomorrow morning.

The big wine tank is not Zhou Dong’s easter egg today. After I finished my work earlier, I thought about going home. During this period, I was competing in Xiangjiang, and after I came back, I was busy teaching students and running the big wine tank. I didn’t spare much time for it. Stay with mom and dad.

Although my parents are still 'young', but they are looking at fifty people, Zhou Dong feels a little guilty; I also want to find an opportunity to persuade my parents, the other courtyard in Fengqi Village has been built, and the house at home It's time for the meat restaurant to close down. Some time ago, I found a famous quote from the Internet and sent it to my dad, "The world is so big, I want to go and see it", and my dad's mind became lively.

After Huilongwo was converted into a residential attraction in Chudu, in order not to damage the overall atmosphere, a few deep alleys were kept nearby. Zhou Dong’s house and yard are at the end of the alley, and there is a small parking lot here. It looks like it can park more than a dozen cars. Although there are not many parking spaces, once all the cars go out during the day, there are still a few left.

Today's situation is a bit different. Not only is the parking lot full, but even a few cars are parked on the curb. Of course, a fine notice has already been stuck on the front window.

"Where are there so many cars? There is also a parking lot at the scenic spot of Huilongwo, so people who come to play can't stop here?"

Zhou Dong was very puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. He rode his bicycle and went to his small yard. Today is Saturday, and as usual, the butcher shop at home will be closed for rest, so parents should be at home.

Before entering the door, I heard the noise of people in the yard. My mother's voice was still so loud and high-pitched, "Oh, so everyone is Xiaodong's colleague?"
Let me just say, in a hotel as big as Kyushu Dingshi, Xiaodong's colleagues must be indispensable, why don't you see him socializing with colleagues?In the past, he was young and ignorant, and offended his colleagues, but now it's all right, I feel relieved when everyone comes.

Hey, you said you would come if you came, what gifts do you bring?That's too polite."

"Hehe, Auntie, you have misunderstood something. Isn't Chef Zhou busy? First, he went to Xiangjiang to participate in a food competition, and after he came back, he opened a large wine tank, so we don't want to bother us, thinking that today is Saturday , I just came to visit, but forgot that he was in the morning department today, this is really troublesome for uncles and aunts."

Zhou Dong was stunned when he heard the voice: "Isn't this Chef Su's Chef Shang? Why did he come to my house? And according to my mother, it seems that he is not the only one here?

I'll go, you're already in your fifties, and you actually came to call my mom and aunt?No wonder my mother is happy! "

Sure enough, I heard my mother's voice become a little 'lazy': "Oh, this gentleman can really talk, I am so old? Be your aunt!"
