I am Qinxing No.1

Chapter 451 The True Realm of Perfection

This quality of tempura is definitely worth tasting carefully by Zhou Dong. Even if you have a legendary taste, you can't get enough "ingenuity" just from the taste.

When Zhou Dong was eating tempura, Mr. Shang, Mr. Shang, Mr. Yan and several of the most famous chefs in the Bai case also each took one and began to taste it. The rest, including Shang Qingxiong, could only drool. The saliva on the side is getting hungry,

Cang Yun is challenging Zhou Dong, not opening the door to do business. After frying a few pieces of tempura, she is not going to continue. Plain hands will become fried chicken feet
For the top tempura entrance, even Mr. Shang and Mr. Shang, who had eaten countless delicacies, had their eyes brightened, but they didn't say anything. After all, they were not as professional as Cai Bo. In fact, there are still some who are looking towards this miraculous young chef. It is obviously inappropriate to praise Cang Yun now. Isn't that 'increasing others' ambitions and destroying one's own prestige'?

After Mr. Yan finished eating the tempura slowly, he also smiled and said nothing. He didn't speak when he saw him. Some chefs who wanted to show their professionalism in front of Mr. Shang could only keep silent and looked at Zhou Dong instead. .

These experts are actually the same as Cai Bo. They are not optimistic about Zhou Dong's victory. After all, there is a specialization in the art industry. It turned out that he was just a small apprentice of the Cang family, not even an apprentice!
This is a source of family education, even if Zhou Dong is amazing, he can't be good at everything, right?If he can still win this, wouldn't we be too bad? How many years of learning how to cook have been learned from dogs?

Zhou Dong also ate very slowly, just like Cai Bo, chewing carefully and carefully, it took about 10 minutes to finish the tempura, looking at the clean as new cotton bamboo on the plate Paper, nodded and said: "The universe of the Cang family is in your hands, it is really extraordinary, admire, admire."

Cang Yun smiled slightly, looked at Zhou Dong,
Children, is it time to admit defeat next?I told you a long time ago, losing to me is not ashamed.

Zhou Dong looked at her, and said slowly: "The biggest difference between tempura and ordinary fried food is not the choice of 'kind', but the kung fu reflected in this layer of 'tempura clothing'.

Properly proportioned egg liquid and thin flour powder will not absorb oil as easily as bread crumbs. The chef can ensure that the tempura will instantly make the batter when it is fried Holds without burning.

While the batter is shaped, the "seeds" in the tempura garment will release moisture. Under the action of external heat and internal steaming, not only the inner "seeds" are fresh and delicious, but also the water vapor will be blocked from the inside out The tempura coat continues to absorb the oil. In theory, the tempura fried in this way only needs a few minutes to drain the oil, and it can reach the highest state of 'no oil'.

Just now I tasted Master Cang's handiwork. It really is crispy and sweet inside. This is the unique taste of 'no oil' tempura. Generally speaking, this can already be regarded as deep-fried tempura. Luo's highest state. "

"Hehe, Team Leader Zhou is indeed a person who knows the goods. In fact, if we are not opponents in the competition, I can regard you as my bosom friend. You are right."

Cang Yun smiled when she heard it, and was about to continue to deliver her victory speech, when she was taken aback suddenly: "What do you mean by saying that in general?"

When Zhou Dong ate tempura just now, he also had an expression of intoxication and enjoyment. After eating, he grabbed Cang Yun and praised him for a while. Isn't this just a bosom friend?If it wasn't for the huge age gap, it could be regarded as a greasy compliment between lovers, so no one in the audience could understand that what he said just now clearly left room.

Even Mr. Yan and Cai Bo didn't feel anything wrong for a moment. Only Mr. Shang smiled and glanced at Zhou Dong when he heard the last word. His eyes, which had always been calm, revealed a hint of curiosity and anticipation. .

Generally speaking?

What about the other things?
This is not a 100% compliment, it is clearly reserved for later.

After all, Cang Yun was the person involved, and gradually felt something wrong with Zhou Dong's words.

Staring at Zhou Dong closely, he said, "You mean, this tempura dish hasn't really reached the highest level yet? Please explain it to me clearly!"

"I don't want to say it, but it's the truth."

Zhou Dong said: "In the highest realm, there is also true perfection and beauty with imperfections, Master Cang's tempura obviously belongs to the latter.

But I also said that this is already the highest state under normal circumstances. It is very, very remarkable that Master Cang can make tempura to this level. It is estimated that even the god of tempura in the island country It may not be comparable to you."

Cai Bo nodded slightly while listening. Although Zhou Dong had never eaten Mr. Kojima's tempura, he guessed it right.

When he tasted Cangyun's tempura just now, he compared it with the taste in his memory. Maybe the top freshwater shrimp is really sweeter than peony shrimp, or maybe it's because Mr. Kojima hasn't tasted enough According to the true biography of the Cang family, the taste and taste of the two tempura clothes are comparable, but the shrimp meat inside is Cang Yun's with more aftertaste and sweetness, which is half a chip better than Kojima. .

But what does this master Xiao Zhou mean? Could it be that such a top-notch tempura can't satisfy him?Is it me, Lao Cai, who doesn't know how to eat, or is this young man talking big?

Not to mention Cang Yun, even Cai Bo was slightly dissatisfied. When it comes to tasting delicious food and beauties, he has always considered himself an expert. Could it be that he is no better than a young man?
"Group leader Zhou, I'm also curious, please tell me carefully, what would a perfect tempura look like in your mind?"

After all, Cai Bo has self-restraint, he just asks for advice modestly.

"Mr. Cai, if I'm not mistaken, the Mr. Kojima you mentioned made the tempura that you never forget. He also used the method of putting his hands into the frying pan, but his descendants did not have this skill. It should be A jig was used, am I right?"

"That's right, so although Mr. Kojima's descendants can make very good tempura, after all, there is still a little oil stain left, and the taste is a little bit worse, which makes me really sorry. La."

Recalling that he went to Kyushu to taste tempura the year before last, Cai Bo shook his head, obviously still a little bit hard to mind.

"That's why I always thought that only hand-fried tempura is the best. This is because"

"This is because when the tempura is put into the pot, no matter how skillful the chef is, the tempura clothes will inevitably be damaged the moment it touches the hot oil. If it is not 'repaired' in time, the oil will seep into the tempura. If it is inside the clothes, it will not be able to achieve the level of 'no oil', and it will also affect the freshness and sweetness of the 'shrimp seeds' in the clothes."

Zhou Dong interjected: "It is almost impossible to 'repair' tempura clothes in such a short period of time if you use jigs, only human hands can be so sensitive and can repair quickly.

This is actually the meaning of the existence of the Cang family's "Qiankun into the hands of oil". Unless it is fried tempura and other delicate delicacies, if it is deep-fried fritters and vegetable corners, it is estimated that Master Cang will not use such a high difficulty. method. "

"Old Zhou, why do I become more and more confused the more I listen?"

Shang Qingxiong held his grumbling stomach, and still couldn't help reminding him: "Sometimes you say that his tempura has not yet reached perfection, and then you exaggerate his ability to put his hands into the frying pan, your logic seems to be A bit confused?"

Elder Yan, Cai Bo and others were also baffled by what they heard. Is this young man under too much pressure, and what he said began to contradict himself?

Cang Yun sneered and was about to speak, but Zhou Dong waved his hand and said, "Master Cang, I haven't finished yet.

In everything, there are advantages and disadvantages, so why not the Cang family's empty-handed into the frying pan?Didn't Master Cang discover the fatal flaw in the family tradition?

I would like to ask Master Cang, even if your hands are covered with a coat, and your technique is extremely skillful, how long can your hands stay in the hot oil pan? "

"Hmph, do you need to stay for a long time?

You should know that there is no point in staying too long. Repairing the damaged tempura clothes depends on the first one or two seconds. This time is enough! "

Cang Yun's face changed slightly, why did this kid say what his grandfather said back then?
But even Grandpa later said that repairing by hand was the only way to go; and let alone that there was no way to 'keep your hands' in hot oil for too long, even if it could be done, it wouldn't make any sense.

"Is there really enough time?"

Zhou Dong chuckled lightly: "If there is really enough time, Master Cang won't be in a hurry.

I think Mr. Cai should have discovered that there is a problem with the tempura made by Master Cang, that is, the tempura clothes have not been [-]% repaired.
Master Cang guarantees the most delicious shrimp body, shrimp waist and other meat parts wrapped in Luoyi, but because of lack of time, the shrimp tail has to be ignored.

After all, the tempura outside this part is the most easily damaged, and at the same time the most difficult to 'repair'.It is also for this reason that when you put the tempura on the grid to drain the oil, you must lean against the side grid, and the tails of the shrimp are all down!

Am I right, Master Cang? "

"you"

Cang Yun's face changed drastically, this guy, why are his eyes so poisonous, he can even see this little blemish?

Grandpa said back then that frying delicacies such as tempura will never be solved, and it can't even be called a mistake, it's just a kind of "error", even if it's the Cang family's Qiankun into the oily hands Unable to resolve.

However, Grandpa also said that even if this problem takes another 100 years, no chef will be able to solve it, naturally not including this kid in front of him.

Thinking of this, I calmed down a bit: "Yes, I admit that there is such a flaw, but if I can't solve the problem, can you solve it?"

At this moment, Cai Bo was completely dumbfounded, and felt that he, a gourmet, would not even know how to eat now.
Shrimp tail?What's wrong with adding some oil to the shrimp tail of tempura?Isn't it more burnt and crispy? What's the problem?
Could he still make better flavors?

Is this young man crazy, or does he have magical means that even he cannot see?
"Since I said so, it can be solved naturally."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Who said that to make the best and most perfect tempura, you have to put your bare hands into the frying pan?
I just want to use jigs to make more perfect tempura! "

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Cang Yun almost yelled out, use a jig?You really dare to think!

The jig can do even more damage to the tempura than the boiling Taibai oil, and mend it?You have to be thankful if you don't cause secondary damage, and you won't let you say that if you talk big!

"Hehe, if it's feasible, I'll know when I make tempura?"

Zhou Dong smiled: "I will prove it to Master Cang."

"Boy, don't just say it with your mouth, you can start!"

Cang Yun is really going crazy, the meaning of this game is not limited to challenges, Zhou Dong is fundamentally negating the Cang family's "the best of the world"!
This move is too ruthless, if this kid is not bragging, he is going to uproot the craftsmanship that has been passed down by the Cang family for three generations!
How could she endure this?
"Not yet"

Zhou Dong shook his head with a look of helplessness.

no?This time, even Old Shang didn't realize he was frowning, and everyone was so dumbfounded, they babbled a lot of things together with you, but they said it's not right now?Old man, you can do it!

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't expect Master Cang to be so skilled. To be honest, I was also very stressed. In order to make perfect top tempura, I needed special jigs. With the strength of the team, they should be able to get this kind of fixture soon, right?

The jig I need is made of silver, the clamp rod must be as thin as a bamboo stick, the chuck must be two pieces, each piece is a cicada's wing, and the two chucks must have some concaves."

Listening to Zhou Dong's narration, Yan Lao's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Don't worry, the jig you need can be made by tomorrow morning at the latest, Xiao Zhou, don't you let us down?"

Elder Shang also said, "Interesting. Master Zhou, I will come tomorrow morning."

"I'll do my best."

Zhou Dong felt relieved, it's okay, he can use the jig to delay for a day.

Although he got a glimpse of Cang Yun's ingenuity and unique technique by virtue of his tasting skills, but to continue to improve it and make perfect tempura, he must practice "years and months" in the good fortune kitchen. It's not something that can be done by just finding an excuse to take a nap and stare blankly.

When he walked out of the back kitchen, Shang Qingxiong touched his stomach that was about to be hungry and said suddenly: "Old Zhou, I always feel that you are making excuses. To be honest, are you doing something tricky?"

Zhou Dong glared at him: "If I were you, I would go and fill my stomach now!"
