Cooking
Chapter 12
30.
The so-called rules are regulations that, once formulated, must be strictly followed except for extremely unusual moments.
At this time, Li Daitao's stiffness made Master Lu very angry. It was almost the arrogance and provocation that did not take the chef and seniors seriously.
Lu Yong asked himself that he was a very fair and strict chef. He would neither favor one person too much nor deliberately suppress anyone. When Li Xiangrong first came, he was really looking forward to it. Related to catering, he is also a rare friend of the young master, and he is diligent and conscientious, so he is a candidate worth cultivating.
Taking him to the morning market, instructing him to cook, even quietly defending him in front of He Zhishan, and observing him secretly, even if the strict requirements on him in the exams are released by the old man's love for talent If you are thirsty for talent.
It's not that Lu Yong is dissatisfied with He Zhishan, Tao Xingming and the others, but if he teaches another child to achieve success in vegetarian food, he can be regarded as giving play to the enthusiasm of the Bu family.
Who knew that this child had no intention of being a teacher at all, which made Lu Yong somewhat unhappy, but considering the privacy of his teacher, as a respected and respected giant in the catering industry, Lu Yong didn't take it to heart.
But now, using someone else's name to achieve the purpose of publicizing oneself, this kind of behavior is really intolerable!
Lu Yong glanced lightly at Bulangni who was standing beside Li Xiangrong. The face of Shaodong's family was pale and blue at the moment, rolling with vague anger and discontent. His face was as still as still water, and his eyes were clear.
Maybe Arong was instigated by Lonnie, the chef thought, Arong is a good, clumsy boy, so he may not be able to be the master's sharp weapon, but this time it was just a clumsy temptation.
Since it was the dim sum room that cooperated, maybe Mrs. Fanny's idea was...
The old man overcomplicated things that were not too complicated, and put the protagonist out of the battlefield of intrigue. I have the final say on the kitchen," he said, staring at Bronney's green eyes like the sea, "how about it, the cleaning work will be three months, and you are not allowed to go to the stove."
Cleaning work is the coolie who cleans the restaurant kitchen. In the past, chefs and waiters took turns, and part-time workers were hired to do it when they were particularly busy. As a punishment, the status was really much lower than that of dishwashers.
What kind of chef is not even allowed to approach the stove?
Buroni immediately opened his eyes to reprimand, but Li Xiangrong grabbed his hand in time and pulled him back hard.
All the chefs looked at Ah Rong silently, he swallowed his saliva and glanced around, his face was innocent but his eyes were sly, the young man drew a long voice, the nasal voice even seemed to be coquettish to the elders, "Oh? Master, are you sure you won't let me go out within three months?"
He Zhishan choked his neck like he was choking, and turned his head away viciously as soon as he looked up, while Tao Xingming, who had always been meek, looked at them blankly.
The cunning Feng Yifan had slipped out a long time ago, but Anton, who was huddled in the corner, quietly raised his head and looked around.
The chef who was asked back rubbed his chin and sneered, he was too lazy to respond to the child's clumsy yelling, and shook his head lightly, "Ah Rong, do you want to be a good chef and stay at Bu's house? I'll ask you more." My own heart, as for some words of the young master, just listen to it."
Lu Yong looked at Buroni with helplessness and disgust in his eyes, as if he had discovered the unknown truth. Everyone was blinded by the heir with a perfect appearance and excellent performance. Only he realized how frivolous and shallow this young master is. He was not trustworthy, so he sighed for a long time. He wanted to blame the Patriarch for not educating a truly suitable successor, but felt that this matter was beyond his ability, so he could only sigh.
"So, if I want to show it again, I have to wait until three months later?" Li Xiangrong, who didn't know what to do, continued to ask, and the young man had always been calm to the point of a cowardly and dull face with mocking smile lines, "Well, I hope three Let's not have any accidents within a month."
Is this child possessed by something?Spiky and lazy, he deliberately attacked as if nothing had happened, like a little hedgehog that has been poked in the stomach.
Buroni held his finger back in doubt, it was slippery and cold, and trembling slightly.
But Li Xiangrong's mind was turbulent, he silently called to Master, Master, but Master wantonly teased his lips and said words that he couldn't even imagine.
What exactly happened here?
--master!Say no more!
Li Xiangrong felt that he was soaked in an unknown liquid, his body was shaking, his vision was blurred, and his ears were full of chaotic and sharp noises, one after another, and he opened his mouth wide, and each character rolled and scattered like collapsed sand and stones , stirring up dust and smoke.
What is the master doing? He clearly said that he wanted to leave and leave everything to his own liking. Why did he start messing around from making dim sum?
Sad and anxious emotions spread and burned, and the corners of Ah Rong's mouth evoked a strange enough sneer, but his round eyes were filled with sparkling water droplets.
He Zhishan, who had been watching the master's treatment with a sullen face, said slowly, "Xiao Li, do you really want to stay?"
Ah Rong nodded indiscriminately, his head hurt like crazy, too many incomprehensible information rushed rapidly, he saw too many pictures in a trance, and received too many emotions, so much that he was so stuffed that he was about to explode.
Buroni squeezed his hand tightly, and didn't look to tell the master or the senior brother, but tried to calmly announce, "I will definitely keep Ah Rong, and no one is allowed to send him away."
"No one wants to send him away," He Zhishan said calmly, "as long as he can stay."
Lu Yong turned his head to look at his eldest disciple, and sighed wearily, "I leave it to you, Zhishan." After saying that, he leaned back on the chair and half closed his eyelids, this time the young master was really angry.
He Zhishan nodded, and said to Arong, "Punishment is like the master said, if you can do it, stay first."
"It's nothing." Arong raised his eyes, his face full of stubbornness, "Foreman, if my Dinghu Shangsu is better than yours, can I serve it?"
Still biting on it!Even Tao Xingming couldn't help rubbing his forehead and sighing, what kind of cramp did this brat have, isn't he usually such a person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat?
Looking down at him with dark eyes, it takes courage to insist on one's unreasonable demands in the face of absolute strength. Li Xiangrong gritted his teeth and stared back, his eyes were full of confusion, begging and confusion.
"Brother," Buroni, whose arms were almost completely wrapped around Arong, solemnly lowered his head in a rare gesture of respect, his soft brown curly hair brushed Arong's cheeks and fell down like water, "please let Arong try Well, please believe that he is capable enough."
Lonny?The consciousness suppressed in a certain space yelled in surprise. Arong looked suspiciously at his friend's low pale cheek. The straight nose, slightly parted lips and slightly short but tough chin formed a curve, like a straight line. It is as profound as a paper-cut painting but fragile.
He is begging for him.
As the heir, Buroni begged the head chef's apprentice. The chef is so conceited and arrogant, and the owner is so helpless. In an industry based on ingenuity and ingenuity, skill is the ultimate restraint.
It is the Bu family who cannot do without the chef, not the chef who cannot do without the Bu family.
It was only at this moment that Buroni realized how ridiculous the idea of reform he had been talking about in front of his father was empty talk. He didn’t even have the qualifications to order the chef to cook on the stove. He only offered respect and salary in front of the chef. ordinary people.
How can he dictate the chef's choice?How can he manage the ancestral family business well?
He couldn't even gain the confidence and loyalty of any chef, so when Li Xiangrong made an unreasonable request, he immediately supported and agreed unconditionally. There is only one person who still needs him, asks for him, and counts on his support and support. Escort, other than that, they don't need him, he's just a poor commander.
The more he wants to hold on to Li Xiangrong, the more Li Xiangrong will be rejected by everyone, and if he wants to fully integrate into the chef's heart, he has to let Arong be run on and enslaved. Either result will make him unhappy, and he will not fall on both sides. , It is difficult to be a human being inside and outside.
It turns out that it is so difficult to be the master of the house. In the past, I was just picking and choosing what my father did, but when it was my turn to hold the power, I was even more scrambling.
The time of bowing their heads was very long, but no one said "Master, we will do as you say."
No, because he, Bu Langni, has not been recognized yet, just like Li Xiangrong, he is not recognized by everyone in the Bu family.
Their positions are different, but their treatment is the same.
After a long silence, a chuckle suddenly came out.
"Ability?" Anton said softly, "I have been in the Bu family for three years, and now I am not qualified to speak. How long has Li Xiangrong been here, and dare to say that I have enough ability?"
"I worked hard from dawn to dusk and didn't dare to complain at all. I feel that this kind of tempering is a matter of course. I have practiced countless times and been rejected countless times. I believe this is the pride of the Bu family. I have worked hard to become a master. I haven't seen the door..." Anton stood up suppressing his anger, and stood in front of He Zhishan, "Don't waste your time, Li Xiangrong, you compete with me, do the same thing, you beat me , I won’t say much anymore, I will treat you as a senior brother in the future.”
"A Dong, what do you mean?" Tao Xingming shouted in a low voice, "Don't make trouble for senior brother!"
"It's okay," He Zhishan raised a hand and pressed Anton's shoulder from behind, "Adong's words are not bad, Xiao Li's previous dishes are not up to Adong's level, since you uttered harsh words today, why don't you try it out?" One game, so as not to be dissatisfied with each other."
"However," He Zhishan looked at Bu Langni who was trying to restrain his temper with great interest, "this time's prize is not about being a cleaner for three months, and the young master and his wife won a bet before. Count it, clean it up."
"The two cook here, and the dishes are not signed. We are all waiting outside to try and see which one is the one with the highest evaluation. If Li Xiangrong loses, we will leave Bu's house immediately," He Zhishan said calmly , "If Xiao Li wins, he can replace me as 'Dinghushangsu' next month."
Buroni pondered for a while, then added a sentence, "If Ah Rong wins, Senior Brother He, you still have to eat a plate of stinky tofu—this is what Sister Bai said."
The author has something to say:
Master Xu Ji made a hole

33, 31...
31.
Anton prefers to cook meat dishes, while Li Xiangrong only cooks vegetarian dishes. If each person cooks only one serving, it would be too easy to be spotted. Since it is a comparison, it must be a suspense comparison.
The suspense was brought up by Brownie, but He Zhishan was noncommittal. Anton has been under his command for more than three years, what dishes can he not taste?Procrastinating the competition of one dish into three dishes is to give the Shaodong family a face.
One meat, one vegetable, one soup, three dishes, let's see who can win more than two.
Brownie looked apologetically at Li Xiangrong insisting on the method of competition. Compared with Li Xiangrong who doesn't like to cook meat dishes, Anton is not good at cooking vegetarian dishes, so both of them can bear such an arrangement.
One hour, two people, duel.
Li Xiangrong knew that Xu Ji wanted to find a test for himself, so that he could stand firmly on the other's shoulders and then climb down, while Anton wanted to gain some attention while maintaining the pride of the teacher.
It was late at night when the banquet was over, the cool breeze in late summer was soft and lingering, and the pale blue moonlight covered the platform, but everyone was not in the mood to enjoy the drunken moon, and they sat down solemnly and silently.
There is still a quiet fragrance floating in the air, but half of the lotus flowers in the shallow lake water have fallen.
After 40 minutes, the two porcelain plates locked in the stainless steel cover were sent to the middle of the round table where everyone was sitting. After all, there is soft light in the room, which is more conducive to appreciating the color and shape of the dishes.
Buroni lifted the cover on the left with a blank expression. It was a group of small fishes shining with light yellow luster.
The eyes are green peas, the back is black hair lettuce, the scales are green cucumber shreds, the tail fin is some kind of translucent substance, and the fish lie quietly in the mushroom shreds and magnolia slices, as beautiful and elegant as a fine brushwork painting.
"Hey, goldfish duck feet," Tao Xingming exclaimed when he saw the nameplate under the lid, "I've only seen the master cook this dish once or twice, and I didn't expect anyone to have such realistic craftsmanship."
He Zhishan slowly picked up the chopsticks and said, "The first dish served on the first banquet of the Manchu and Han banquets in the Qing Palace is pretty good. Let the master try it first." Helped put a small fish on the plate with a spoon, and handed it respectfully For Lu Yong who is resting with his eyes closed.
Buroni originally wanted to call his father over, but just now Lu Yong just said with a half-smile that the young master can't make the decision now?
One chef against one cook, one man against one faction.
This fish is made of chicken meat, add cooking wine and stir, then add egg white, mix it into a paste, and squeeze it into a goldfish shape about one inch. The duck feet of the tail fin are boiled in clear soup for 15 minutes. Take it out, remove the bones of the back of the palm and the hard yellow center of the palm, put the palm up, and steam in a drawer for 6 to 8 minutes to take it out; finally, mix thoroughly with clear soup, cooking wine, refined salt, and corn flour in the pot, pour chicken oil on it, and pour it on the vegetables , the fish is delicate and tender, and the duck feet are crispy. This dish has been popular among the people since the Qing Dynasty, and it is still a classic dish.
The cover on the right is opened, and there is a lotus pond scene.A few pale pink flower buds are ready to stand against the wind, the already blooming lotus is a brilliant blood red of tomato slices, coriander and water hair golden hooks outline the water surface, and a few green beans are embedded in the pale white lotus pod.
"Pouched tofu," Feng Yifan held up the spoon, "
Let me do the tricky things first~ I just want to eat tofu. "
Having said that, put the first buds dug out by the spoon in front of the chef.
Remove the rough surface of the tofu, mash it and filter it into a fine mud with a fine sieve, add egg whites, refined salt, monosodium glutamate, stir well, prepare a small spoon for several slices, apply oil, scoop the tofu mud into half of the spoon, put Some meat stuffing made with minced pork, golden hook and scallops, covered with a layer of mashed tofu, and made of flower buds with thin shredded ham and coriander stalks, steamed in a basket for 5 minutes, took out, put oil in the pot to heat, add Chicken soup, refined salt, monosodium glutamate, dilute and thicken with wet starch, pour chicken oil, remove chopped green onion, take out of the pot and pour over.
This dish is tender, refreshing and nutritious, also on the note.
Master Lu nodded and said, "These two boys are fairly straightforward, and they didn't deliberately deviate from the topic. Now, let's not guess who made it. Each eats two bites, and writes down their opinions on paper."
Everyone tasted the dishes and bowed their heads to write their own comments. Buroni held the pen but didn't know how to speak. In all fairness, both dishes have amazing features, but also have flaws that cannot be ignored. It is the uneasiness of a novice who is just showing his edge. The fresh will also reveals the jerkyness of the shallow skills.He thought that Li Xiangrong could do better or worse, but he didn't expect that he was in just the right state, with both potential and shortcomings, ambition and diligence, and the level he showed was comparable to Anton's, and he would not pull back no matter whether he won or lost. Driven too far, and created an indistinguishable artful state.
At this time, the second round of dishes was delivered again.
On one side is the young leaves of Huoxiang wrapped in batter and fried, and the unique vanilla smell is refreshing.
On one side is the fresh and spicy shredded eel with a strong fish aroma. This time it is vegetarian, so the shredded eel is also fake.
Huoxiang has a special fragrance similar to mint. "Fried Huoxiang" is listed as the "three fried" delicacies of Shandong Taishan temples together with "fried mint" and "fried mountain bean sprouts". Delicious and fragrant, it promotes qi and removes dampness, strengthens the spleen and stomach. Huoxiang leaves are better eaten in the late spring, but now thanks to the greenhouse vegetables, they can be enjoyed all year round.
"It's interesting." Master Lu leisurely gnawed off a crispy leaf wrapped in golden batter, "I used yeast and peanut oil, no eggs, very good, this is vegan."
Hearing this, Buroni chewed a mouthful of shredded eel carefully. It was boiled with shiitake mushrooms and shredded, simmered in soup, then mixed with water chestnut powder and deep-fried, served with shredded winter bamboo shoots and peas. Add ginger rice, cooking wine, soy sauce, sugar, monosodium glutamate, refined salt, broth, and thicken it.
But this broth—Buroni was shocked, this dish was not produced by Li Xiangrong!Ah Rong would never use big bone broth to make vegetarian dishes, and even a small spoonful of seasoning would not break the principle. For chefs from monasteries, the choice of ingredients is a matter of principle.
Just now the master pointed out that there is no use of eggs in the fried wrinkle, so the origin of these two dishes is obvious.
He raised his head and quietly observed the expressions of the crowd. He Zhishan's face was always paralyzed, while Feng Yifan showed an obvious smile - the kind of smile that has a good show.
Buroni judged that Anton had lost this round, and if he used the wrong ingredients, he didn't need to look at other flavors.
Buroni imagined that the two people in the kitchen at this time were hating each other, sweating profusely, no matter what the ideal was, they were always working hard wholeheartedly. He felt very relieved. These two very young chefs should be his most lovable chefs. trust to rely on.
He wishfully believed that Li Xiangrong had already won a round, and the first round was evenly divided, so as long as the next soup didn't make a big mistake, Ah Rong had a great chance of winning.
It's not that he doesn't want to see Anton. He even thinks that Anton's behavior today is just some kind of expression that he can't do in front of He Zhishan. As a boss, since he can accept the threat of the elite, he can also tolerate Xiaogong's occasional outbreak.
Buroni sometimes overestimates other people's ambitions, and sometimes underestimates other people's desires. He still needs to grow up. There must be some lessons for him to regret and some regrets for him to reflect on on the road of growth.
In the last minute of the limited time, two bowls of steaming soup were served at the same time.
Chrysanthemum bamboo fungus soup and Banyue Shenjiang.
The former obviously uses fresh chrysanthemum and bamboo fungus as the main ingredients. The meatballs float and sink in the chicken soup, while the latter two slices of shiitake mushrooms sink to the bottom of the bowl, and the gluten-free winter bamboo shoots are cut into pieces.
He Zhishan sneered and said, "Oh, it's another monastery dish. Li Xiangrong revealed his secrets too quickly. I'm afraid others won't know that he is from the Monk Temple?"
"Half Moon Shenjiang" is a famous vegetarian dish in Nanputuo Temple. It has a long reputation. How can it be an ordinary dish?
Cooking is like this. One hundred people will make one hundred servings of fried rice with fried rice with fried sauce and noodles with celery and pork. The taste is absolutely different, but no one will say that what you cook is not authentic. What I cook is the mainstream, while famous dishes are just the opposite. , the violation of any step will become the handle to be attacked.
If Shaoxing rice wine is not used for Dongpo meat, sugared winter melon is not used for crystal braised pork, maltose is not added to Chaozhou grilled eel, and beef cubes are not added to mapo tofu, then it is definitely not authentic, and it is not even counted as a copycat.
The more famous the dish, the more it needs the exact ingredients and the perfect steps.
Chefs can try their best to innovate on the basis of famous dishes. You can bake the West Lake Vinegar Fish instead of steaming it, but that name is called "West Lake Grilled Fish". It has become a classic and must be meticulously passed on.
He Zhishan tapped his chopsticks and said, "I originally meant not to distinguish the author, but to judge only by the finished product, but with such an obvious source, in the end, don't complain that the reviewer is biased."
While he was talking, he looked at Buroni, the young master sipped half of a Chrysanthemum as if nothing had happened, a few thin white and small petals stuck to his upper lip, almost with an innocence that didn't understand the world.
Feng Yifan coughed and said, "I'll just talk about my opinion on the soup. The Bu family's skill of hanging soup is a secret recipe handed down in the family. Our Feng family also has some tricks. I have stayed in the Bu family for more than two years. Yes, I ask myself if I can taste the specialties of Bu’s house, but these two soups.”
He pointed to the left, and then pointed to the right, "It doesn't look like the style of the Bu family."
"Of course, 'Ban Yue Shen Jiang' is not a Bu family dish, and no matter who makes it, the skill of this soup is still insufficient. I have tasted this dish in South Putuo, and I have also consulted the master in the temple. Before frying, it should be shaped into round grains with a diameter of 1.5 cm and a height of 1.8 cm by hand. After frying thoroughly, drain the oil and intrude into boiling water. Soft, just because the processing of gluten is cumbersome, it is not something that ordinary people can steal by reading recipes or trying to steal it. Today, the gluten is soft and tastes like cotton wool. The side dishes also need a small amount of diced tomatoes and celery to increase the umami taste, and there should be thinly sliced fresh angelica in the broth..."
"So in my opinion, it's quite inauthentic." Feng Yifan raised his thick eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes that were always a bit frivolous raised slightly, "I don't believe that Anton, who has received strict education from the Bu family for three years, I can make this without Bujia cuisine, and secondly, I don’t believe that Li Xiangrong, who you almost think is a waste material, can do this in a short period of time. To be honest, I don’t think he is so stupid, just relying on those few dim sum dishes craft……"
"Brother Feng," Buroni stood up suddenly, looking at him eagerly, "Try this soup..."
"Lonnie, this dish does not require meat and vegetables!" He Zhishan said sternly, "Don't guess whose work it is, the comments must be written with a clear heart!"
"Leave it to me after writing it," Master Lu said, "Let me see, who is more useful, the apprentice I have taught for three years or an outsider."
The author has something to say:
Master Xu Ji made a hole
34
34, 32...
32.
Anton and Li Xiangrong came out of the kitchen to wait for their evaluation.
Anton kept rubbing his hands and looked very nervous, while Li Xiangrong was calm and calm.
Buroni calculated carefully, the only thing he could be sure of was that the fried ageratum came from Ah Rong, and now he really doesn't know what the result will be, if Shen Jiang loses in that Ban Yue dish, the odds of winning the meat dish seem to be even smaller.Although there were many twists and turns in his heart, there was no trace of blood on his fair face, and his green eyes were covered with haze.
He Zhishan commented on the dishes in turn, and the meat dish, goldfish and duck feet, was the winner.This dish is fresh in taste, exquisite in craftsmanship, and it is also a feast for the table. When Anton heard that this dish won, he almost jumped up for joy and said that it is worthy of my private practice countless times. The purse tofu is obviously made by Ah Rong. The comments I got were that the pork was too finely chopped, and it couldn’t form a good springy texture when it was mixed with golden hook scallops.In fact, the ancient method in the summary does not have this process at all. It was the processing that the chef decided based on the quality of the tofu at that time. Li Xiangrong ignored that today's tofu has been stored in the refrigerator for too long. This faint taste should be processed again.
It was not wronged to lose, Arong stood up straight with his legs slightly apart, with his hands hugging his chest, looking like he didn't care much, while Anton on one side looked very happy, as if he had the chance to win.
Buroni's heart sank, and he raised his eyes to see that Arong still didn't care, clenched his fists secretly, thinking quickly what to do if Arong lost, then no matter what, he had to be kept in the snack room.
Vegetarian Fried Huoxiang wins, Ah Rong let out a sigh of relief. For this dish, wash Huoxiang with hot water at 60°C, marinate it with refined salt, and ferment it quickly with flour and baking powder, add warm water and peanut oil and stir it into a crispy paste , This kind of batter can only be mixed gently, and it must not be stirred vigorously to produce gluten. The ancient method of using yeast dough is more complicated. This is the inspiration that Ah Rong saw when browsing dim sum recipes.Xu Ji didn't like this dish at first, the ingredients were simple, but it required a lot of skill to make, but Ah Rong insisted that he was very experienced in frying things, and he used to help fry some tenderloin yellow croakers at home.
When Xu Ji saw Anton cooking eel with big bone soup, he went with Arong, and he had to win this round.
The [-]% hot peanut oil is dipped with the crispy Huoxiang, no need to re-fry, just slightly increase the firepower and it will be ready. The golden leaves are fragrant and fragrant, which is unique.
Sure enough, when talking about the problem with the eel soup, Anton lowered his head disheartened. He couldn't feel wronged, he could only regret his carelessness, his eyes were full of jealousy and hatred, and he was not convinced by Arong's work.
One win, one loss, Buroni's nails dug into the palm of his hand, the last soup, who made Suzhai Banyue Shenjiang?
He Zhishan stopped after commenting on two dishes, looked at the master hesitantly, then turned to look at Feng Yifan, and said, "Yifan, can you comment on this dish?"
Feng Yifan was twirling his chopsticks boredly, and the ebony long chopsticks drew continuous circles on the tiger's mouth, which looked like a black light from a distance.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "I have nothing to say, but I love meat, of course it's chrysanthemum soup."
The chrysanthemum and bamboo fungus in the soup is not uncommon, but it is rare to make meatballs. Wash the shrimp and fat meat, drain the water, beat it with the back and blade of a knife, and add onion ginger wine juice, egg white, Stir refined salt, monosodium glutamate and dry starch evenly, heat clear soup in a frying pan, squeeze the minced shrimp into shrimp balls, boil them slowly and remove.
The soup base is filtered through a fine sieve of chicken clear soup and poured into a frying pan, add refined salt, monosodium glutamate, and pepper, bring to a boil, and put it into a soup bowl.Leave the soup in the pot, put in the vegetable buds and bamboo fungus and cook, place around the soup bowl, put chrysanthemums in the middle, and drizzle with chicken oil.
The white chrysanthemum is sweet and bitter in taste and cool in nature, which can relieve wind and heat, calm the liver, improve eyesight, and detoxify. Dictyophora, known as the "queen of bacteria" and "king of mountain delicacies", has the effect of promoting blood circulation and treating pain, and the taste is crisp Plump and beautiful, it is indeed much better than the unauthentic gluten soup.
One sentence from Feng Yifan decided the outcome, Anton only had time to let out a "huh" before silently lowering his head and not moving.
He Zhishan was looking at Li Xiangrong and was about to announce his defeat. Unexpectedly, the little apprentice smiled reservedly and looked at him without blinking.
Is it...
Buroni stood up and smiled generously, "Ah Rong's skills have improved."
"Yeah, it will be better if you practice more," Ah Rong replied without humility, then tilted his head and said to He Zhishan, "Boss, if you count this one, I won two."
He Zhishan slowly put down his chopsticks, moved his lips several times, and finally said, "Little Li, you did a good job."
"I can let you stay, but do you really like to stay at Bu's house?" Already a chef in essence, He Zhishan tried his best to slow down the lines at the corners of his mouth, and cast aside prejudice in his eyes, almost showing a trace of sincerity, He asked word by word, "I was not optimistic about your competition with Anton. Anton has been an apprentice for three years. It's a bit unfair for you to compare with him, but since you can do it in a short time With dishes of this level, do you have any expectations for the Bu family?"
"To be honest, the few of us have been taught by our masters since we were young, and we have come here step by step. However, your performance fluctuates up and down, which is very surprising, so," He Zhishan's dark eyes are fixed firmly. He, "I'm afraid you are a genius, and genius often means greater destruction."
What does it mean?Li Xiangrong stared at him in bewilderment.
He Zhishan pulled the corners of his lips and forced a smile, "Xiao Li, maybe your road is very long, I believe you can become famous in one fell swoop from a little-known role, but if you want to stay," he said without a trace He glanced at Lu Yong who was drinking tea leisurely, "Maybe he will be buried."
"Buried?" Buroni yelled angrily, "He - Zhishan, you just can't tolerate people, what are you talking about buried? How could my Bu family bury him?!"
"Lonnie!" The chef suddenly shouted, and the old man opened his eyes, which had been closed all night, with blazing eyes.
Buroni took a few deep breaths, he wanted to say that the Bu family is me, Buroni has the final say, how old are you hired workers, but he didn't dare, if his father heard such words, it would be a shame. Great rebellion.
He could only bow his head in regret, not daring to look at Li Xiangrong's face, he felt that he was too humiliated and useless, he was not even qualified to speak hard words to his friends, he was angry and ashamed.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiangrong nodded lightly and cleverly, "What the foreman He said is reasonable, and he is sincere. I am very grateful."
"The Bu family is very good. I have learned a lot, but I am probably more suitable for doing other things. Master Lu, Foreman He, seniors, thank you for your care and guidance," Arong said sincerely, "I really appreciate you. I wanted to see the big scene, so I made a bet rashly, now no matter what, let me stay until the feast is over, okay?"
Hearing this, Bu Langni felt cold from head to toe, Ah Rong still wanted to leave?Don't want to stay with him at all?
Master Lu snorted, "Apprentices have their own rules, and you are a sensible child. It's rare that there was a scene today. I won't say more. It all depends on how Zhishan decides."
Buroni immediately turned his head to stare at He Zhishan, trying his best to put on airs of a young master, but when he saw He Zhishan's conniving wry smile in his helplessness, he couldn't help thinking about what he had done to him since he was a child. With all kinds of care and care, his face could only be embarrassing for a while, with an awkward expression of grievance and willfulness.
"Lonnie," He Zhishan lowered his tone, "I, you should understand that my whole heart is only for the Bu family."
Bu Langni stared at him blankly. Since he was five years old, He Zhishan has worked in the Bu family. Now that 15 years have passed, he certainly knows what kind of person He Zhishan is. People living here can talk about it openly, but he also knows that He Zhishan seldom uttered it, and those words were engraved in his heart by Lu Yong stroke by stroke.
With a sore heart, Bu Langni said a word, "Brother He, don't you want to participate in the National Cooking Competition for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Have you signed up?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.
Lu Yong raised his finger inaudibly, then put it down quietly. After a while, he got up from the rattan chair and walked out. His hunched back suddenly looked ten years older.
"Senior brother? You want to participate in the cooking competition?!" Tao Xingming stared at him in disbelief, "The Bu family never allows chefs to go out, how can you?"
He Zhishan sat down tiredly and rubbed his eyebrows, "The Patriarch agreed."
Bu Langni sneered, "How dare my father disagree, you are the uncle of the Bu family now, who dare not follow you?"
When the bitter words deliberately attacked others, bloodstains were also drawn on his own heart, and the cowardice in his eyes could not be concealed even if he tried to move his lips.
Li Xiangrong walked over and tugged at him, calling out in a low voice, "Lonnie, stop talking, you should concentrate on preparing the feast now."
"Hmm..." The unkind words miraculously soothed Buroni's tumbling anxiety. He turned his head and said, "You want to be Dinghu Shangsu? Just do it well. Senior brother can't say nothing."
He Zhishan gritted his teeth and replied, "Xiao Li, you can make it first in a few days, we can taste it and it will be fine."
"However, after you cook this dish, you should leave Bu's house."
His wrist suddenly tightened, and Buroni held him tightly, and his skin immediately felt pain. Li Xiangrong was so surprised that he forgot to struggle, and stared blankly at Buroni's side face in a daze.
The obvious bulging cheek muscles highlight the hard outline of the smooth side cheeks, the lips are bitten white, and even the soft brown hair exudes a sense of coldness. Buroni is as arrogant as a statue, but incredible fragile.
It seems that as long as anyone says one more word, he will fall apart.
Li Xiangrong exhaled very carefully, his heart throbbing and throbbing as if being pinched.
——Master, have you overplayed it?In order to make a dish, I made it like this...
- that dish is worth it.
The voice in my head has never been so cold, short, and expressing helplessness so forcefully.
The author has something to say:
Master Xu Ji made a hole
35
The so-called rules are regulations that, once formulated, must be strictly followed except for extremely unusual moments.
At this time, Li Daitao's stiffness made Master Lu very angry. It was almost the arrogance and provocation that did not take the chef and seniors seriously.
Lu Yong asked himself that he was a very fair and strict chef. He would neither favor one person too much nor deliberately suppress anyone. When Li Xiangrong first came, he was really looking forward to it. Related to catering, he is also a rare friend of the young master, and he is diligent and conscientious, so he is a candidate worth cultivating.
Taking him to the morning market, instructing him to cook, even quietly defending him in front of He Zhishan, and observing him secretly, even if the strict requirements on him in the exams are released by the old man's love for talent If you are thirsty for talent.
It's not that Lu Yong is dissatisfied with He Zhishan, Tao Xingming and the others, but if he teaches another child to achieve success in vegetarian food, he can be regarded as giving play to the enthusiasm of the Bu family.
Who knew that this child had no intention of being a teacher at all, which made Lu Yong somewhat unhappy, but considering the privacy of his teacher, as a respected and respected giant in the catering industry, Lu Yong didn't take it to heart.
But now, using someone else's name to achieve the purpose of publicizing oneself, this kind of behavior is really intolerable!
Lu Yong glanced lightly at Bulangni who was standing beside Li Xiangrong. The face of Shaodong's family was pale and blue at the moment, rolling with vague anger and discontent. His face was as still as still water, and his eyes were clear.
Maybe Arong was instigated by Lonnie, the chef thought, Arong is a good, clumsy boy, so he may not be able to be the master's sharp weapon, but this time it was just a clumsy temptation.
Since it was the dim sum room that cooperated, maybe Mrs. Fanny's idea was...
The old man overcomplicated things that were not too complicated, and put the protagonist out of the battlefield of intrigue. I have the final say on the kitchen," he said, staring at Bronney's green eyes like the sea, "how about it, the cleaning work will be three months, and you are not allowed to go to the stove."
Cleaning work is the coolie who cleans the restaurant kitchen. In the past, chefs and waiters took turns, and part-time workers were hired to do it when they were particularly busy. As a punishment, the status was really much lower than that of dishwashers.
What kind of chef is not even allowed to approach the stove?
Buroni immediately opened his eyes to reprimand, but Li Xiangrong grabbed his hand in time and pulled him back hard.
All the chefs looked at Ah Rong silently, he swallowed his saliva and glanced around, his face was innocent but his eyes were sly, the young man drew a long voice, the nasal voice even seemed to be coquettish to the elders, "Oh? Master, are you sure you won't let me go out within three months?"
He Zhishan choked his neck like he was choking, and turned his head away viciously as soon as he looked up, while Tao Xingming, who had always been meek, looked at them blankly.
The cunning Feng Yifan had slipped out a long time ago, but Anton, who was huddled in the corner, quietly raised his head and looked around.
The chef who was asked back rubbed his chin and sneered, he was too lazy to respond to the child's clumsy yelling, and shook his head lightly, "Ah Rong, do you want to be a good chef and stay at Bu's house? I'll ask you more." My own heart, as for some words of the young master, just listen to it."
Lu Yong looked at Buroni with helplessness and disgust in his eyes, as if he had discovered the unknown truth. Everyone was blinded by the heir with a perfect appearance and excellent performance. Only he realized how frivolous and shallow this young master is. He was not trustworthy, so he sighed for a long time. He wanted to blame the Patriarch for not educating a truly suitable successor, but felt that this matter was beyond his ability, so he could only sigh.
"So, if I want to show it again, I have to wait until three months later?" Li Xiangrong, who didn't know what to do, continued to ask, and the young man had always been calm to the point of a cowardly and dull face with mocking smile lines, "Well, I hope three Let's not have any accidents within a month."
Is this child possessed by something?Spiky and lazy, he deliberately attacked as if nothing had happened, like a little hedgehog that has been poked in the stomach.
Buroni held his finger back in doubt, it was slippery and cold, and trembling slightly.
But Li Xiangrong's mind was turbulent, he silently called to Master, Master, but Master wantonly teased his lips and said words that he couldn't even imagine.
What exactly happened here?
--master!Say no more!
Li Xiangrong felt that he was soaked in an unknown liquid, his body was shaking, his vision was blurred, and his ears were full of chaotic and sharp noises, one after another, and he opened his mouth wide, and each character rolled and scattered like collapsed sand and stones , stirring up dust and smoke.
What is the master doing? He clearly said that he wanted to leave and leave everything to his own liking. Why did he start messing around from making dim sum?
Sad and anxious emotions spread and burned, and the corners of Ah Rong's mouth evoked a strange enough sneer, but his round eyes were filled with sparkling water droplets.
He Zhishan, who had been watching the master's treatment with a sullen face, said slowly, "Xiao Li, do you really want to stay?"
Ah Rong nodded indiscriminately, his head hurt like crazy, too many incomprehensible information rushed rapidly, he saw too many pictures in a trance, and received too many emotions, so much that he was so stuffed that he was about to explode.
Buroni squeezed his hand tightly, and didn't look to tell the master or the senior brother, but tried to calmly announce, "I will definitely keep Ah Rong, and no one is allowed to send him away."
"No one wants to send him away," He Zhishan said calmly, "as long as he can stay."
Lu Yong turned his head to look at his eldest disciple, and sighed wearily, "I leave it to you, Zhishan." After saying that, he leaned back on the chair and half closed his eyelids, this time the young master was really angry.
He Zhishan nodded, and said to Arong, "Punishment is like the master said, if you can do it, stay first."
"It's nothing." Arong raised his eyes, his face full of stubbornness, "Foreman, if my Dinghu Shangsu is better than yours, can I serve it?"
Still biting on it!Even Tao Xingming couldn't help rubbing his forehead and sighing, what kind of cramp did this brat have, isn't he usually such a person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat?
Looking down at him with dark eyes, it takes courage to insist on one's unreasonable demands in the face of absolute strength. Li Xiangrong gritted his teeth and stared back, his eyes were full of confusion, begging and confusion.
"Brother," Buroni, whose arms were almost completely wrapped around Arong, solemnly lowered his head in a rare gesture of respect, his soft brown curly hair brushed Arong's cheeks and fell down like water, "please let Arong try Well, please believe that he is capable enough."
Lonny?The consciousness suppressed in a certain space yelled in surprise. Arong looked suspiciously at his friend's low pale cheek. The straight nose, slightly parted lips and slightly short but tough chin formed a curve, like a straight line. It is as profound as a paper-cut painting but fragile.
He is begging for him.
As the heir, Buroni begged the head chef's apprentice. The chef is so conceited and arrogant, and the owner is so helpless. In an industry based on ingenuity and ingenuity, skill is the ultimate restraint.
It is the Bu family who cannot do without the chef, not the chef who cannot do without the Bu family.
It was only at this moment that Buroni realized how ridiculous the idea of reform he had been talking about in front of his father was empty talk. He didn’t even have the qualifications to order the chef to cook on the stove. He only offered respect and salary in front of the chef. ordinary people.
How can he dictate the chef's choice?How can he manage the ancestral family business well?
He couldn't even gain the confidence and loyalty of any chef, so when Li Xiangrong made an unreasonable request, he immediately supported and agreed unconditionally. There is only one person who still needs him, asks for him, and counts on his support and support. Escort, other than that, they don't need him, he's just a poor commander.
The more he wants to hold on to Li Xiangrong, the more Li Xiangrong will be rejected by everyone, and if he wants to fully integrate into the chef's heart, he has to let Arong be run on and enslaved. Either result will make him unhappy, and he will not fall on both sides. , It is difficult to be a human being inside and outside.
It turns out that it is so difficult to be the master of the house. In the past, I was just picking and choosing what my father did, but when it was my turn to hold the power, I was even more scrambling.
The time of bowing their heads was very long, but no one said "Master, we will do as you say."
No, because he, Bu Langni, has not been recognized yet, just like Li Xiangrong, he is not recognized by everyone in the Bu family.
Their positions are different, but their treatment is the same.
After a long silence, a chuckle suddenly came out.
"Ability?" Anton said softly, "I have been in the Bu family for three years, and now I am not qualified to speak. How long has Li Xiangrong been here, and dare to say that I have enough ability?"
"I worked hard from dawn to dusk and didn't dare to complain at all. I feel that this kind of tempering is a matter of course. I have practiced countless times and been rejected countless times. I believe this is the pride of the Bu family. I have worked hard to become a master. I haven't seen the door..." Anton stood up suppressing his anger, and stood in front of He Zhishan, "Don't waste your time, Li Xiangrong, you compete with me, do the same thing, you beat me , I won’t say much anymore, I will treat you as a senior brother in the future.”
"A Dong, what do you mean?" Tao Xingming shouted in a low voice, "Don't make trouble for senior brother!"
"It's okay," He Zhishan raised a hand and pressed Anton's shoulder from behind, "Adong's words are not bad, Xiao Li's previous dishes are not up to Adong's level, since you uttered harsh words today, why don't you try it out?" One game, so as not to be dissatisfied with each other."
"However," He Zhishan looked at Bu Langni who was trying to restrain his temper with great interest, "this time's prize is not about being a cleaner for three months, and the young master and his wife won a bet before. Count it, clean it up."
"The two cook here, and the dishes are not signed. We are all waiting outside to try and see which one is the one with the highest evaluation. If Li Xiangrong loses, we will leave Bu's house immediately," He Zhishan said calmly , "If Xiao Li wins, he can replace me as 'Dinghushangsu' next month."
Buroni pondered for a while, then added a sentence, "If Ah Rong wins, Senior Brother He, you still have to eat a plate of stinky tofu—this is what Sister Bai said."
The author has something to say:
Master Xu Ji made a hole
33
33, 31...
31.
Anton prefers to cook meat dishes, while Li Xiangrong only cooks vegetarian dishes. If each person cooks only one serving, it would be too easy to be spotted. Since it is a comparison, it must be a suspense comparison.
The suspense was brought up by Brownie, but He Zhishan was noncommittal. Anton has been under his command for more than three years, what dishes can he not taste?Procrastinating the competition of one dish into three dishes is to give the Shaodong family a face.
One meat, one vegetable, one soup, three dishes, let's see who can win more than two.
Brownie looked apologetically at Li Xiangrong insisting on the method of competition. Compared with Li Xiangrong who doesn't like to cook meat dishes, Anton is not good at cooking vegetarian dishes, so both of them can bear such an arrangement.
One hour, two people, duel.
Li Xiangrong knew that Xu Ji wanted to find a test for himself, so that he could stand firmly on the other's shoulders and then climb down, while Anton wanted to gain some attention while maintaining the pride of the teacher.
It was late at night when the banquet was over, the cool breeze in late summer was soft and lingering, and the pale blue moonlight covered the platform, but everyone was not in the mood to enjoy the drunken moon, and they sat down solemnly and silently.
There is still a quiet fragrance floating in the air, but half of the lotus flowers in the shallow lake water have fallen.
After 40 minutes, the two porcelain plates locked in the stainless steel cover were sent to the middle of the round table where everyone was sitting. After all, there is soft light in the room, which is more conducive to appreciating the color and shape of the dishes.
Buroni lifted the cover on the left with a blank expression. It was a group of small fishes shining with light yellow luster.
The eyes are green peas, the back is black hair lettuce, the scales are green cucumber shreds, the tail fin is some kind of translucent substance, and the fish lie quietly in the mushroom shreds and magnolia slices, as beautiful and elegant as a fine brushwork painting.
"Hey, goldfish duck feet," Tao Xingming exclaimed when he saw the nameplate under the lid, "I've only seen the master cook this dish once or twice, and I didn't expect anyone to have such realistic craftsmanship."
He Zhishan slowly picked up the chopsticks and said, "The first dish served on the first banquet of the Manchu and Han banquets in the Qing Palace is pretty good. Let the master try it first." Helped put a small fish on the plate with a spoon, and handed it respectfully For Lu Yong who is resting with his eyes closed.
Buroni originally wanted to call his father over, but just now Lu Yong just said with a half-smile that the young master can't make the decision now?
One chef against one cook, one man against one faction.
This fish is made of chicken meat, add cooking wine and stir, then add egg white, mix it into a paste, and squeeze it into a goldfish shape about one inch. The duck feet of the tail fin are boiled in clear soup for 15 minutes. Take it out, remove the bones of the back of the palm and the hard yellow center of the palm, put the palm up, and steam in a drawer for 6 to 8 minutes to take it out; finally, mix thoroughly with clear soup, cooking wine, refined salt, and corn flour in the pot, pour chicken oil on it, and pour it on the vegetables , the fish is delicate and tender, and the duck feet are crispy. This dish has been popular among the people since the Qing Dynasty, and it is still a classic dish.
The cover on the right is opened, and there is a lotus pond scene.A few pale pink flower buds are ready to stand against the wind, the already blooming lotus is a brilliant blood red of tomato slices, coriander and water hair golden hooks outline the water surface, and a few green beans are embedded in the pale white lotus pod.
"Pouched tofu," Feng Yifan held up the spoon, "
Let me do the tricky things first~ I just want to eat tofu. "
Having said that, put the first buds dug out by the spoon in front of the chef.
Remove the rough surface of the tofu, mash it and filter it into a fine mud with a fine sieve, add egg whites, refined salt, monosodium glutamate, stir well, prepare a small spoon for several slices, apply oil, scoop the tofu mud into half of the spoon, put Some meat stuffing made with minced pork, golden hook and scallops, covered with a layer of mashed tofu, and made of flower buds with thin shredded ham and coriander stalks, steamed in a basket for 5 minutes, took out, put oil in the pot to heat, add Chicken soup, refined salt, monosodium glutamate, dilute and thicken with wet starch, pour chicken oil, remove chopped green onion, take out of the pot and pour over.
This dish is tender, refreshing and nutritious, also on the note.
Master Lu nodded and said, "These two boys are fairly straightforward, and they didn't deliberately deviate from the topic. Now, let's not guess who made it. Each eats two bites, and writes down their opinions on paper."
Everyone tasted the dishes and bowed their heads to write their own comments. Buroni held the pen but didn't know how to speak. In all fairness, both dishes have amazing features, but also have flaws that cannot be ignored. It is the uneasiness of a novice who is just showing his edge. The fresh will also reveals the jerkyness of the shallow skills.He thought that Li Xiangrong could do better or worse, but he didn't expect that he was in just the right state, with both potential and shortcomings, ambition and diligence, and the level he showed was comparable to Anton's, and he would not pull back no matter whether he won or lost. Driven too far, and created an indistinguishable artful state.
At this time, the second round of dishes was delivered again.
On one side is the young leaves of Huoxiang wrapped in batter and fried, and the unique vanilla smell is refreshing.
On one side is the fresh and spicy shredded eel with a strong fish aroma. This time it is vegetarian, so the shredded eel is also fake.
Huoxiang has a special fragrance similar to mint. "Fried Huoxiang" is listed as the "three fried" delicacies of Shandong Taishan temples together with "fried mint" and "fried mountain bean sprouts". Delicious and fragrant, it promotes qi and removes dampness, strengthens the spleen and stomach. Huoxiang leaves are better eaten in the late spring, but now thanks to the greenhouse vegetables, they can be enjoyed all year round.
"It's interesting." Master Lu leisurely gnawed off a crispy leaf wrapped in golden batter, "I used yeast and peanut oil, no eggs, very good, this is vegan."
Hearing this, Buroni chewed a mouthful of shredded eel carefully. It was boiled with shiitake mushrooms and shredded, simmered in soup, then mixed with water chestnut powder and deep-fried, served with shredded winter bamboo shoots and peas. Add ginger rice, cooking wine, soy sauce, sugar, monosodium glutamate, refined salt, broth, and thicken it.
But this broth—Buroni was shocked, this dish was not produced by Li Xiangrong!Ah Rong would never use big bone broth to make vegetarian dishes, and even a small spoonful of seasoning would not break the principle. For chefs from monasteries, the choice of ingredients is a matter of principle.
Just now the master pointed out that there is no use of eggs in the fried wrinkle, so the origin of these two dishes is obvious.
He raised his head and quietly observed the expressions of the crowd. He Zhishan's face was always paralyzed, while Feng Yifan showed an obvious smile - the kind of smile that has a good show.
Buroni judged that Anton had lost this round, and if he used the wrong ingredients, he didn't need to look at other flavors.
Buroni imagined that the two people in the kitchen at this time were hating each other, sweating profusely, no matter what the ideal was, they were always working hard wholeheartedly. He felt very relieved. These two very young chefs should be his most lovable chefs. trust to rely on.
He wishfully believed that Li Xiangrong had already won a round, and the first round was evenly divided, so as long as the next soup didn't make a big mistake, Ah Rong had a great chance of winning.
It's not that he doesn't want to see Anton. He even thinks that Anton's behavior today is just some kind of expression that he can't do in front of He Zhishan. As a boss, since he can accept the threat of the elite, he can also tolerate Xiaogong's occasional outbreak.
Buroni sometimes overestimates other people's ambitions, and sometimes underestimates other people's desires. He still needs to grow up. There must be some lessons for him to regret and some regrets for him to reflect on on the road of growth.
In the last minute of the limited time, two bowls of steaming soup were served at the same time.
Chrysanthemum bamboo fungus soup and Banyue Shenjiang.
The former obviously uses fresh chrysanthemum and bamboo fungus as the main ingredients. The meatballs float and sink in the chicken soup, while the latter two slices of shiitake mushrooms sink to the bottom of the bowl, and the gluten-free winter bamboo shoots are cut into pieces.
He Zhishan sneered and said, "Oh, it's another monastery dish. Li Xiangrong revealed his secrets too quickly. I'm afraid others won't know that he is from the Monk Temple?"
"Half Moon Shenjiang" is a famous vegetarian dish in Nanputuo Temple. It has a long reputation. How can it be an ordinary dish?
Cooking is like this. One hundred people will make one hundred servings of fried rice with fried rice with fried sauce and noodles with celery and pork. The taste is absolutely different, but no one will say that what you cook is not authentic. What I cook is the mainstream, while famous dishes are just the opposite. , the violation of any step will become the handle to be attacked.
If Shaoxing rice wine is not used for Dongpo meat, sugared winter melon is not used for crystal braised pork, maltose is not added to Chaozhou grilled eel, and beef cubes are not added to mapo tofu, then it is definitely not authentic, and it is not even counted as a copycat.
The more famous the dish, the more it needs the exact ingredients and the perfect steps.
Chefs can try their best to innovate on the basis of famous dishes. You can bake the West Lake Vinegar Fish instead of steaming it, but that name is called "West Lake Grilled Fish". It has become a classic and must be meticulously passed on.
He Zhishan tapped his chopsticks and said, "I originally meant not to distinguish the author, but to judge only by the finished product, but with such an obvious source, in the end, don't complain that the reviewer is biased."
While he was talking, he looked at Buroni, the young master sipped half of a Chrysanthemum as if nothing had happened, a few thin white and small petals stuck to his upper lip, almost with an innocence that didn't understand the world.
Feng Yifan coughed and said, "I'll just talk about my opinion on the soup. The Bu family's skill of hanging soup is a secret recipe handed down in the family. Our Feng family also has some tricks. I have stayed in the Bu family for more than two years. Yes, I ask myself if I can taste the specialties of Bu’s house, but these two soups.”
He pointed to the left, and then pointed to the right, "It doesn't look like the style of the Bu family."
"Of course, 'Ban Yue Shen Jiang' is not a Bu family dish, and no matter who makes it, the skill of this soup is still insufficient. I have tasted this dish in South Putuo, and I have also consulted the master in the temple. Before frying, it should be shaped into round grains with a diameter of 1.5 cm and a height of 1.8 cm by hand. After frying thoroughly, drain the oil and intrude into boiling water. Soft, just because the processing of gluten is cumbersome, it is not something that ordinary people can steal by reading recipes or trying to steal it. Today, the gluten is soft and tastes like cotton wool. The side dishes also need a small amount of diced tomatoes and celery to increase the umami taste, and there should be thinly sliced fresh angelica in the broth..."
"So in my opinion, it's quite inauthentic." Feng Yifan raised his thick eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes that were always a bit frivolous raised slightly, "I don't believe that Anton, who has received strict education from the Bu family for three years, I can make this without Bujia cuisine, and secondly, I don’t believe that Li Xiangrong, who you almost think is a waste material, can do this in a short period of time. To be honest, I don’t think he is so stupid, just relying on those few dim sum dishes craft……"
"Brother Feng," Buroni stood up suddenly, looking at him eagerly, "Try this soup..."
"Lonnie, this dish does not require meat and vegetables!" He Zhishan said sternly, "Don't guess whose work it is, the comments must be written with a clear heart!"
"Leave it to me after writing it," Master Lu said, "Let me see, who is more useful, the apprentice I have taught for three years or an outsider."
The author has something to say:
Master Xu Ji made a hole
34
34, 32...
32.
Anton and Li Xiangrong came out of the kitchen to wait for their evaluation.
Anton kept rubbing his hands and looked very nervous, while Li Xiangrong was calm and calm.
Buroni calculated carefully, the only thing he could be sure of was that the fried ageratum came from Ah Rong, and now he really doesn't know what the result will be, if Shen Jiang loses in that Ban Yue dish, the odds of winning the meat dish seem to be even smaller.Although there were many twists and turns in his heart, there was no trace of blood on his fair face, and his green eyes were covered with haze.
He Zhishan commented on the dishes in turn, and the meat dish, goldfish and duck feet, was the winner.This dish is fresh in taste, exquisite in craftsmanship, and it is also a feast for the table. When Anton heard that this dish won, he almost jumped up for joy and said that it is worthy of my private practice countless times. The purse tofu is obviously made by Ah Rong. The comments I got were that the pork was too finely chopped, and it couldn’t form a good springy texture when it was mixed with golden hook scallops.In fact, the ancient method in the summary does not have this process at all. It was the processing that the chef decided based on the quality of the tofu at that time. Li Xiangrong ignored that today's tofu has been stored in the refrigerator for too long. This faint taste should be processed again.
It was not wronged to lose, Arong stood up straight with his legs slightly apart, with his hands hugging his chest, looking like he didn't care much, while Anton on one side looked very happy, as if he had the chance to win.
Buroni's heart sank, and he raised his eyes to see that Arong still didn't care, clenched his fists secretly, thinking quickly what to do if Arong lost, then no matter what, he had to be kept in the snack room.
Vegetarian Fried Huoxiang wins, Ah Rong let out a sigh of relief. For this dish, wash Huoxiang with hot water at 60°C, marinate it with refined salt, and ferment it quickly with flour and baking powder, add warm water and peanut oil and stir it into a crispy paste , This kind of batter can only be mixed gently, and it must not be stirred vigorously to produce gluten. The ancient method of using yeast dough is more complicated. This is the inspiration that Ah Rong saw when browsing dim sum recipes.Xu Ji didn't like this dish at first, the ingredients were simple, but it required a lot of skill to make, but Ah Rong insisted that he was very experienced in frying things, and he used to help fry some tenderloin yellow croakers at home.
When Xu Ji saw Anton cooking eel with big bone soup, he went with Arong, and he had to win this round.
The [-]% hot peanut oil is dipped with the crispy Huoxiang, no need to re-fry, just slightly increase the firepower and it will be ready. The golden leaves are fragrant and fragrant, which is unique.
Sure enough, when talking about the problem with the eel soup, Anton lowered his head disheartened. He couldn't feel wronged, he could only regret his carelessness, his eyes were full of jealousy and hatred, and he was not convinced by Arong's work.
One win, one loss, Buroni's nails dug into the palm of his hand, the last soup, who made Suzhai Banyue Shenjiang?
He Zhishan stopped after commenting on two dishes, looked at the master hesitantly, then turned to look at Feng Yifan, and said, "Yifan, can you comment on this dish?"
Feng Yifan was twirling his chopsticks boredly, and the ebony long chopsticks drew continuous circles on the tiger's mouth, which looked like a black light from a distance.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "I have nothing to say, but I love meat, of course it's chrysanthemum soup."
The chrysanthemum and bamboo fungus in the soup is not uncommon, but it is rare to make meatballs. Wash the shrimp and fat meat, drain the water, beat it with the back and blade of a knife, and add onion ginger wine juice, egg white, Stir refined salt, monosodium glutamate and dry starch evenly, heat clear soup in a frying pan, squeeze the minced shrimp into shrimp balls, boil them slowly and remove.
The soup base is filtered through a fine sieve of chicken clear soup and poured into a frying pan, add refined salt, monosodium glutamate, and pepper, bring to a boil, and put it into a soup bowl.Leave the soup in the pot, put in the vegetable buds and bamboo fungus and cook, place around the soup bowl, put chrysanthemums in the middle, and drizzle with chicken oil.
The white chrysanthemum is sweet and bitter in taste and cool in nature, which can relieve wind and heat, calm the liver, improve eyesight, and detoxify. Dictyophora, known as the "queen of bacteria" and "king of mountain delicacies", has the effect of promoting blood circulation and treating pain, and the taste is crisp Plump and beautiful, it is indeed much better than the unauthentic gluten soup.
One sentence from Feng Yifan decided the outcome, Anton only had time to let out a "huh" before silently lowering his head and not moving.
He Zhishan was looking at Li Xiangrong and was about to announce his defeat. Unexpectedly, the little apprentice smiled reservedly and looked at him without blinking.
Is it...
Buroni stood up and smiled generously, "Ah Rong's skills have improved."
"Yeah, it will be better if you practice more," Ah Rong replied without humility, then tilted his head and said to He Zhishan, "Boss, if you count this one, I won two."
He Zhishan slowly put down his chopsticks, moved his lips several times, and finally said, "Little Li, you did a good job."
"I can let you stay, but do you really like to stay at Bu's house?" Already a chef in essence, He Zhishan tried his best to slow down the lines at the corners of his mouth, and cast aside prejudice in his eyes, almost showing a trace of sincerity, He asked word by word, "I was not optimistic about your competition with Anton. Anton has been an apprentice for three years. It's a bit unfair for you to compare with him, but since you can do it in a short time With dishes of this level, do you have any expectations for the Bu family?"
"To be honest, the few of us have been taught by our masters since we were young, and we have come here step by step. However, your performance fluctuates up and down, which is very surprising, so," He Zhishan's dark eyes are fixed firmly. He, "I'm afraid you are a genius, and genius often means greater destruction."
What does it mean?Li Xiangrong stared at him in bewilderment.
He Zhishan pulled the corners of his lips and forced a smile, "Xiao Li, maybe your road is very long, I believe you can become famous in one fell swoop from a little-known role, but if you want to stay," he said without a trace He glanced at Lu Yong who was drinking tea leisurely, "Maybe he will be buried."
"Buried?" Buroni yelled angrily, "He - Zhishan, you just can't tolerate people, what are you talking about buried? How could my Bu family bury him?!"
"Lonnie!" The chef suddenly shouted, and the old man opened his eyes, which had been closed all night, with blazing eyes.
Buroni took a few deep breaths, he wanted to say that the Bu family is me, Buroni has the final say, how old are you hired workers, but he didn't dare, if his father heard such words, it would be a shame. Great rebellion.
He could only bow his head in regret, not daring to look at Li Xiangrong's face, he felt that he was too humiliated and useless, he was not even qualified to speak hard words to his friends, he was angry and ashamed.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiangrong nodded lightly and cleverly, "What the foreman He said is reasonable, and he is sincere. I am very grateful."
"The Bu family is very good. I have learned a lot, but I am probably more suitable for doing other things. Master Lu, Foreman He, seniors, thank you for your care and guidance," Arong said sincerely, "I really appreciate you. I wanted to see the big scene, so I made a bet rashly, now no matter what, let me stay until the feast is over, okay?"
Hearing this, Bu Langni felt cold from head to toe, Ah Rong still wanted to leave?Don't want to stay with him at all?
Master Lu snorted, "Apprentices have their own rules, and you are a sensible child. It's rare that there was a scene today. I won't say more. It all depends on how Zhishan decides."
Buroni immediately turned his head to stare at He Zhishan, trying his best to put on airs of a young master, but when he saw He Zhishan's conniving wry smile in his helplessness, he couldn't help thinking about what he had done to him since he was a child. With all kinds of care and care, his face could only be embarrassing for a while, with an awkward expression of grievance and willfulness.
"Lonnie," He Zhishan lowered his tone, "I, you should understand that my whole heart is only for the Bu family."
Bu Langni stared at him blankly. Since he was five years old, He Zhishan has worked in the Bu family. Now that 15 years have passed, he certainly knows what kind of person He Zhishan is. People living here can talk about it openly, but he also knows that He Zhishan seldom uttered it, and those words were engraved in his heart by Lu Yong stroke by stroke.
With a sore heart, Bu Langni said a word, "Brother He, don't you want to participate in the National Cooking Competition for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Have you signed up?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.
Lu Yong raised his finger inaudibly, then put it down quietly. After a while, he got up from the rattan chair and walked out. His hunched back suddenly looked ten years older.
"Senior brother? You want to participate in the cooking competition?!" Tao Xingming stared at him in disbelief, "The Bu family never allows chefs to go out, how can you?"
He Zhishan sat down tiredly and rubbed his eyebrows, "The Patriarch agreed."
Bu Langni sneered, "How dare my father disagree, you are the uncle of the Bu family now, who dare not follow you?"
When the bitter words deliberately attacked others, bloodstains were also drawn on his own heart, and the cowardice in his eyes could not be concealed even if he tried to move his lips.
Li Xiangrong walked over and tugged at him, calling out in a low voice, "Lonnie, stop talking, you should concentrate on preparing the feast now."
"Hmm..." The unkind words miraculously soothed Buroni's tumbling anxiety. He turned his head and said, "You want to be Dinghu Shangsu? Just do it well. Senior brother can't say nothing."
He Zhishan gritted his teeth and replied, "Xiao Li, you can make it first in a few days, we can taste it and it will be fine."
"However, after you cook this dish, you should leave Bu's house."
His wrist suddenly tightened, and Buroni held him tightly, and his skin immediately felt pain. Li Xiangrong was so surprised that he forgot to struggle, and stared blankly at Buroni's side face in a daze.
The obvious bulging cheek muscles highlight the hard outline of the smooth side cheeks, the lips are bitten white, and even the soft brown hair exudes a sense of coldness. Buroni is as arrogant as a statue, but incredible fragile.
It seems that as long as anyone says one more word, he will fall apart.
Li Xiangrong exhaled very carefully, his heart throbbing and throbbing as if being pinched.
——Master, have you overplayed it?In order to make a dish, I made it like this...
- that dish is worth it.
The voice in my head has never been so cold, short, and expressing helplessness so forcefully.
