Food Circle Plug-in Emperor - Chapter 795
Chapter 795 is not perfect
Fu Yu did not refute Sun Mingze’s remarks.
On the contrary, Zhang Jinyu has a straightforward personality. After hearing what Sun Mingze said, he couldn’t help but mention the real origin of squirrel mandarin fish.
The two discussed in a low voice, and saw that Fu Yu was starting to make the sauce, so they hurriedly silenced, and they all moved closer to observe.
Since he made up his mind to cook according to the method in the store, Fu Yu moved very quickly.
He put the tomato sauce in a bowl, add fresh soup, sugar, balsamic vinegar, wine, soy sauce, and wet starch to make a sauce.
While stirring, Zhao Meng suddenly turned his head and asked, “Chu Fu, isn’t it dripping with juice?”
Fu Yu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: “No.”
Zhao Meng hastily reminded: “I forgot to mention just now, when pouring the sauce, the ingredients should be pine nuts and peas. The pine nuts must be fried in hot oil.”
Before Fu Yu could speak, Sun Mingze immediately excitedly said after hearing this: “I just said, this dish is for relaxation!”
Zhao Meng couldn’t help looking at Sun Mingze, with a smile on his face: “You still know?”
Sun Mingze hurriedly said: “I remember eating this dish when I was a child, and it was filled with pine nuts!”
Zhao Meng nodded: “That’s right. In the beginning, this dish was sprinkled with pine nuts and peas. Later, considering that many customers didn’t like the taste of pine nuts, they replaced it with diced bamboo shoots, diced mushrooms, peas, and shrimps. Together, not only the color looks better, the presentation effect is beautiful, but also the taste is indeed richer, so I changed the side dishes.”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Meng explained to Fu Yu: “Just change the side dishes. Jin Qian has a tricky mouth, so he has to cook according to his taste.”
Thinking of the task content received before, Fu Yu nodded: “Okay, I understand.”
It seems that this customer is really an expert.
Although additional preparations are required, Fu Yu is quite willing to cook dishes according to the tastes of customers.
After all, he can only complete the task if the customer is satisfied.
Fu Yu ordered Zhang Jinyu to fetch some pine nuts.
When the oil pan was hot, he put the pine nuts in the oil pan, fried them and served them out.
The fried mandarin fish has been placed on the plate and shaped, topped with sweet and sour sauce, sprinkled with cooked peas and pine nuts.
It does not look as bright as the original one in the store, but except for the side dishes, the other cooking methods are exactly the same, and the taste must be good.
Fu Yu checked the plate arrangement for the last time, and after making sure that there was no problem, he handed it over to Zhang Jinyu and put it on the serving table.
After finishing the two dishes Zhao Meng explained, Fu Yu was about to continue processing the order list at hand, but before he could order the dishes to be prepared, Zhao Meng suddenly called out: “Fu Yu, let go of the work at hand first, Gu The chef is going to cook stewed crab meat and lion head, so go and watch it!”
Fu Yu’s eyes lit up, this is Gu Yunwu’s special skill!
Each chef has his or her own specialties. For this stewed lion head with crab noodles, the cooking method is obviously the same, but the stewed by Gu Yunwu tastes better than others!
But the ingredients are the same, the cooking method is the same, and the taste can be different. Could it be that Gu Yunwu secretly added some ingredients when cooking? His thoughts raced off in strange directions for a while, then back again.
Huh, but, Chef Zhao actually asked him to observe Gu Yunwu’s cooking?
He must be very willing, the key is can Gu Yunwu agree?
Since he came to the back kitchen, Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu have each led their subordinates to work, never interfering with each other, let alone instructing each other’s subordinates in their cooking skills.
“.” Upon hearing this, Gu Yunwu turned to look at Zhao Meng in shock.
wipe!
This is really shameless!
You want to help guide your cooking skills, so it’s over with such a grandiose notification?
Zhao Meng yelled, then turned to Gu Yunwu and said, “Lao Gu, Fu Yu is now able to take orders independently. If there is another order like this in the next year, you can just go to him directly.”
This is a bit ambiguous.
In the next year, I will find Fu Yu, Zhao Meng is leaving?
Although Yao Shi knew that Yao Shi would not last long, it is still unknown whether Zhao Meng will follow suit.
Gu Yunwu’s eyes lit up. From this point of view, it is very possible.
Yao Shi is gone, Zhao Meng and him are left in the back kitchen, and the two may have to compete for the position of head chef.
But Zhao Meng also left, so he is the only one who can manage the back kitchen.
And among the people under him now, Yao Yihang has resigned, and none of the remaining people are useful.
But Fu Yu, if Zhao Meng really left, he might be promoted to chef.
After all, the boss Dong Juntian has mentioned more than once before that he wants to be promoted to a chef.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunwu has realized that cultivating Fu Yu now is tantamount to cultivating himself.
And he originally intended to befriend Fu Yu, but he was just cooking a stewed crab meat lion head.
This dish is a typical one with thousands of flavors.
It is also delicious, but the taste of eating is slightly different due to the different techniques of the chef.
There is absolutely no need to hide this dish, because only he knows the mystery of it, and it is impossible for outsiders to learn it through observation.
Gu Yunwu now has the bottom line in his heart, and he is not so repulsive about Zhao Meng’s rashly sending Fu Yu over to learn cooking.
He has always been a tactful person, and now that he has figured it out, the smile on his face seems a little more sincere.
“Okay, Xiaofu, if you can free your hand, come here, I just finished preparing the materials here.”
Gu Yunwu even spoke, Fu Yu would definitely not miss such a rare opportunity to learn how to cook.
He hurriedly explained to Zhang Jinyu about the preparation of the dishes, and then hurried over to Gu Yunwu’s kitchen for a closer look.
After checking all the dishes, Gu Yunwu raised his head and asked Fu Yu, “Have you ever made stewed crab noodles with lion’s head?”
Fu Yu hurriedly shook his head: “No.”
Gu Yunwu nodded, thinking about it, all the stewed dishes in the store, basically the regular customers order, will fall on his side.
Zhao Meng didn’t have many opportunities to cook, and it was even less likely that Fu Yu would have the opportunity to cook.
He had already expected this.
If you are a pro, you may have to discover some cooking tricks, but for a novice, it is estimated that you will just watch the excitement.
The onion and **** have been washed, Gu Yunwu did it himself this time, wrapped it in gauze and squeezed out the onion and **** water for later use.
It can be considered that Fu Yu was lucky, and he caught up with Jin Qian to eat at the restaurant, but Gu Yunwu would not be able to do it himself in this normal way.
After processing the scallion and **** water, Gu Yunwu picked up the lettuce heart, which was exactly about 6 cm in length, and cut the head of the lettuce into a cross pattern with a knife, and cut off the tip of the leaf.
This length is slowly customized after long-term cooking, and the difference of one point will affect the final effect of the plate.
When Gu Yunwu was operating, he glanced at Fu Yu beside him from the corner of his eye, and saw him staring intently at the operation in his hand.
pity!
Looking at it this way, you can’t see any tricks at all.
After all, who would have thought that this dish, even the lettuce heart as a side dish, is carefully designed?
However, Fu Yu looked at the lettuce heart that Gu Yunwu was holding in his hand with a dazed expression.
No wonder.
In the past, when he watched Zhao Meng cook, he always left the lettuce heart longer, for fear that when the meatballs were placed on the plate, the lettuce leaves would not be exposed.
Now, the lettuce heart that Gu Yunwu used is obviously a little short. It seems that in this aspect, when you have the opportunity to cook in the future, you must pay attention to it.
If Gu Yunwu knew that Fu Yu paid special attention to these details because of Zhao Meng’s overly sloppy cooking operations, he would be stunned!
After processing the lettuce heart, Gu Yunwu finely chopped the pork into pomegranate rice shape.
This process seems simple, but it is actually very profound.
This dish wants to be cooked deliciously, and the requirements for the selection of ingredients are very strict.
Pork ribs should be used for meat stuffing.
The ratio of fat to thin should also be appropriate, and the three of fat, seven and thin are the best, so that the lion’s head can be made tender.
In addition, in the knife work, it is necessary to chop finely and roughly, cut the fat meat and lean meat into thin shreds, and then cut them into thin cubes, and then roughly chop them into pomegranate rice shapes, and then mix them together and chop them roughly. Chop to make the fat and lean meat stick together evenly.
This whole set of cutting was also developed by Gu Yunwu after years of cooking.
Because it is done routinely, he operates like flowing water.
If ordinary people were watching, their attention might be dazzled by his swift cutting action, because it is really fast and steady.
However, in Fu Yu’s view, Gu Yunwu’s position and method of cutting the knife are worth learning.
It is said that they are most afraid of professionals studying all day long.
Gu Yunwu has always favored the light and shy of the heavy. Such chopping work is usually handed over to small workers, but occasionally in a situation like today, he still needs to do it himself.
Going back and forth, in order to save energy and avoid laziness, let him delve into a set of light and efficient chopping knife method.
Actually, Gu Yunwu doesn’t care about his mentality and his work attitude. This person is quite flexible, and he is indeed very talented in cooking.
As long as he is more diligent and willing to work, there is no chance for Zhao Meng in the back kitchen to have an equal share with him.
Nothing is perfect as a human being.
The minced meat needs to be stirred in the bowl until it is “strengthened”.
It’s hard work, and anyone can do it.
Gu Yunwu subconsciously turned his head and wanted to tell the chef to do it, but he heard Fu Yu take the initiative to say: “Chef Gu, do you want to stir stuffing? Let me do it!”
It feels so good that someone can take over immediately before I wait for the order!
There is no technical content in this job. Gu Yunwu himself is too lazy to do it, and he is happy to let Fu Yu help him: “Okay, then you should pay attention, you must work hard.”
Fu Yu nodded, took over, and began to stir stuffing.
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Yun put the pot on high heat and heated it up, scooped in the cooked lard, put in the lettuce heart and stir-fried until emerald green, added a small amount of shrimp, refined salt, pork broth, boiled and removed from the fire.
After finishing this step, Gu Yunwu didn’t rush to operate any more, but turned his head to check the strength of the minced meat.
Seeing this, he was slightly surprised!
In such a short period of time, Fu Yu has almost stirred the meat stuffing.
This kid is really strong!
And the hand speed is also very fast!
After all, stirring stuffing is not only about strength, but also a fast stirring speed.
Seeing that Fu Yu’s side will be finished soon, Gu Yunwu didn’t wait any longer, took another casserole, wiped the bottom of the pot with cooked lard, then put the cabbage in, poured in the broth, and set it on medium heat Bring to a boil.
The broth here is boiling, and Fu Yu’s minced meat is also stirred over there.
Gu Yunwu checked it out, and the effect of “Shangjin” was particularly good, and he was very satisfied.
The next step is the equally important step in all the operations of this dish, making meatballs.
This is also what Gu Yunwu usually operates. He has long been proficient and can complete it with his eyes closed.
If it was normal, he would finish the kneading quickly and hurry up to steam it, but now that Fu Yu is watching from the side, Gu Yunwu immediately has an urge to show off his skills!
In Gu Yunwu’s view, the reason he wants to amaze Fu Yu is to add credit to his face. After all, if Zhao Meng really leaves his job after a few years, then Fu Yu will become his subordinate.
A leader naturally hopes that his subordinates will worship and respect him.
On the other hand, he wants to compete with Zhao Meng in a disguised form.
After all, being able to conquer Zhao Meng’s most profitable subordinate is also a very honorable thing for him.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunwu subconsciously demonstrated his unique skills when pinching meatballs.
He divided the mixed minced meat into several portions, put them in the palm of his hand one by one, flipped them back and forth with both hands, tied them into smooth meatballs, and placed them on the cabbage heart one by one.
There is also an ingenuity in bundling meatballs. Put a portion of the mixed minced meat in the palm of your hand, put your fingers together, and make the palm of your hand in the shape of a nest, so that the minced meat can be tied back and forth on both hands, and it will naturally become round during the bundling process. , become smooth.
It is necessary to use skillful strength when tying to make the lion’s head round and smooth.
As far as this seemingly simple, but in fact implied, mysterious operation of binding meatballs is concerned, Gu Yunwu himself has practiced a lot in the past.
This ingenuity should be adjusted according to the degree of strength of the meat, and everything depends on the touch.
Anyone who knows how to do it can tell at a glance that this unique skill is of a very high level.
Those who don’t know how to do it just watch the excitement and feel that this step is not difficult to operate. Isn’t it just a ball, what’s so difficult?
Gu Yunwu did the whole process from kneading to discharging quickly and simply. The meatballs kneaded by his hands are all the same size, round and smooth, as if they were reproduced one by one with a mold.
This operation is indeed perfect.
Fu Yu stood by and watched, with a surprised expression on his face.
Because in his eyes, the overall shape of the meatball made by Gu Yunwu has a really high score.
Even if he is not very optimistic about Gu Yunwu’s character in his heart, Fu Yu has to admit that in terms of cooking skills, this person is indeed very good.
With every move of hand and foot, and any operation, you can see that you really have real kung fu. This is all the experience accumulated over the years of cooking.
Gu Yunwu pinched three lion heads in a row, and when he was about to continue operating, he paused and turned to look at Fu Yu who was admiringly.
