Just as Zhao Zilong guessed, this middle-aged man has an extraordinary identity. He is a real chef. Previously, when he was entrusted to Changfeng county to meet people, he felt quite funny.
A poor country boy who has never seen the world. What talent can he have?
It''s a bit of a fuss that the old guy actually asked himself to come and watch his craft in person.
It''s a pity that when Zhao Zilong just looked at the weather, he broke his professional identity and made the middle-aged man put away his contempt. And no matter how cooking, just this vision, it is quite extraordinary.
When Zhao Zilong began to cook, the middle-aged man came to the kitchen and began to look at his every move in silence. His eyes are sharp and insightful, and he can see every movement of Zhao Zilong very carefully.
Zhao Zilong''s brain is like a super large capacity memory, which stores almost all the cooking processes on the Internet. In this way, he has theoretical guidance in cooking.
Theoretical guidance alone is not enough, in addition, it also needs strong practical experience.
Zhao Zilong in the production of dishes, meticulously according to the process, without any oversight. When it comes to practical experience, without any formal culinary training, he follows his own wild path.
His cooking process is progressing step by step, but the method of making it is so impractical that the middle-aged man on one side can sometimes frown, sometimes be surprised, and sometimes even show a thoughtful expression.
When the crystal dish was put on the plate, it showed a charming look.
See its flesh red skin white, smooth and crystal clear, look like the lips red teeth white small Xianggong.
In the mouth, the lean meat is crispy and the fat meat is not greasy. With shredded ginger and Zhenjiang vinegar, it has a unique flavor. Rao is the middle-aged man who is picky in taste and can''t help eating two pieces.
When the food hoof belly, the middle-aged man mouth slightly Yang, the face of a God.
"How does it taste, sir?" Zhao Zilong asked cautiously.
"It tastes good. Do you know its therapeutic effect?" The middle-aged man chewed slowly until he swallowed all the food in his mouth. Then he slowly asked Zhao Zilong.
"Pig''s hoof bladder is rich in nutrition, contains more protein, especially contains a lot of collagen protein. Like meat skin, it is a good food therapy to make skin plump, moist, strong and strong."
"In addition, it tastes sweet and salty, and has the functions of harmonizing blood, moistening skin, filling kidney essence, and strengthening waist and feet. If there is any omission, please add it on your behalf. " Zhao Zilong said solemnly.
"Go on!" The middle-aged man just said it lightly.
Following the crystal food hoof, the next famous dish in the north and south is Jiaohua chicken.
Jiaohua chicken is a famous food in the south of the Yangtze River with a long history. It is a special dish made by wrapping the processed chicken with clay and lotus leaves and baking it.
Its color is jujube red, bright, fragrant, crisp and tender, which is the best for entertaining relatives and friends.
Jiaohua chicken is a famous dish of Louwailou in South China. Louwailou was established in 1848. It can be seen that this dish has a history of two or three hundred years, which can be regarded as a traditional famous dish.
It is said that Emperor Qianlong, who visited Jiangnan in Weifu, was accidentally exiled in the wilderness.
A beggar looked at him pitifully and gave him the "beggar chicken" he thought was delicious. Qianlong was hungry and sleepy. Naturally, he thought the chicken was delicious. After eating, he asked his name, calling huatou. He was embarrassed to say that the chicken was called "Huaji", so he called it "Fugui chicken". Qianlong praised the chicken.
The beggar later learned that the tramp was the emperor. This "flower chicken" also became "rich chicken" because the emperor''s golden mouth opened. Today, it has become a famous dish.
To make Jiaohua chicken, we should choose three yellow hens with big head and small body, which are yellow mouth, yellow feet and yellow hair. Chicken should not be too big or too small. It should weigh about 1500 grams.
Zhaojiacun where there is any Yushan specialty, only to ordinary hens instead.
Zhao Zilong knocked the hen dizzy, and broke the wing bone, leg bone and neck bone with the back of the knife.
After being slaughtered and washed, add diced meat, diced ham, dried frizzle, mushrooms, spices and good condiments into the chicken belly. The chicken body is covered with damp mud, and then slowly roasted on charcoal fire.
After simmering, the mud comes down with a strong beat, and the whole "Huaji", which is full of fragrance and makes people want to drop, presents its fragrance.
When Zhao Zilong presented the jujube red Huaji to the middle-aged man, he first observed its color, then smelled its flavor, and then tore off a piece of meat and began to taste its flavor.
After chewing, the middle-aged man did not continue to take a second bite and began to comment slowly.
"The color of this dish is jujube red, which is the best; the taste is fresh and fragrant, which is the best; as for the taste, it is fresh and tender, but the flavor is not enough, and the meat quality is slightly rough, so it can only be rated as medium."
The middle-aged man took the color, smell and fragrance as the evaluation criteria and expressed his own opinions.
"Sir''s advice is to the point, completely in line with its essence, I accept it."Zhao Zilong bowed slightly and said solemnly: "if you can give me a good Yushan chicken, I will certainly make its meat quality to a higher level; as for the lack of charm, it is the lack of thorough seasoning."
"Although I know it''s called Huaji, it''s only my first time to do it. Next time I do it, I can make up for it." When Zhao Zilong stood up, his eyes were full of determination.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned at first, and then the color of disbelief flashed across his face.
"What what? Do you think this is the first time you''ve ever made a crow chicken
The middle-aged man did not hide his shock and looked at Zhao Zilong.
"Yes, I''m just a poor boy in Changfeng County. Apart from learning how to cook in meilisao''s farmhouse restaurant, I''ve learned the rest online. I just haven''t had a chance to do it all the time."
"What''s more, Changfeng county is just a small place. People here don''t have too high requirements for food. No one will be picky and eager to eat authentic Huaji here." Zhao Zilong said with a bitter smile.
The middle-aged man was contemptuous at first, but when he saw that Zhao Zilong, a young man, was not only not conceited and complacent, but also voluntarily told his miserable experience, he could not help but treat him differently.
Of course, what''s more important is that he made Huaji look like this for the first time, which is really shocking. You know, it''s a famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River. Every process is very complicated.
It''s not easy for Zhao Zilong to do this just by learning online.
"Jiaohua chicken is a famous traditional dish. Its production will teach the chef the skills of knife, baking and ingredients. This is the first time you''ve done it. It''s really valuable. "
Maybe Zhao Zilong''s amazing performance moved the middle-aged man, or maybe his miserable experience moved the super chef. After he put down his chopsticks, he opened his voice for the first time.
"In addition, it often appears in Chinese stories and novels."
"For example, it was the delicious food Hong Qigong ate in the legend of the archery hero. What Hong Qigong missed most was the first time he met Huang Rong and gave him the half chicken with a chicken butt called Huaji."
"With the development of the times and the progress of society, there are more and more ways to eat Huaji. Some young people have also created a new way to eat DIY, which can be called "double talent."
The middle-aged man''s voice is gentle and elegant, which connects food with culture, which is quite poetic.
However, we still need to make the next dishes.
Soft shelled turtle with rock sugar is famous for its rich oil, red sauce and colorful sugar. Another alternative name of it is "the top one", which was first created from the number one yuanlou in Yongjiang. It is one of the top ten famous dishes of Ningxiang.
According to legend, more than 100 years ago, there was a small tavern on the North Bank of BOJIANG river. The shopkeeper was famous for burning rock sugar turtle. The dish he cooked is fragrant, soft and glutinous, salty and sweet, delicious and unique.
When they went to Jingjiang restaurant for a drink, they came to visit each other. When the man saw that he was a scholar, he asked, "what kind of food does Xianggong want to taste?"
Both of them were children of rich families, so they said, "all famous dishes are served."
As a result, many famous dishes were served one after another. When two people saw that the rock sugar turtle, which was brought up at the end of the table, was on the top of the table, glittering and translucent, and fragrant, they took it and tasted it. From soft glutinous to sweet, the taste was extraordinary and full of praise. They asked the shopkeeper, "what''s the name of this dish?"
When the shopkeeper saw that both of them had their clothes for the exam, he had an idea. He secretly sent them to the shopkeeper and said, "Mr. prime minister, this is" the best one! " After listening to the whole story, even the call is wonderful! Go away with all the joy.
It happened that one of the Juren won the first prize in the autumn.
He returned to his hometown in splendid clothes and was very proud of himself. He specially went back to Yongjiang, a small restaurant, and named it "the best one"! It is said that after eating this dish, the body is healthy and vigorous, and Jinbang high school is the result of this dish.
When the shopkeeper heard the words, he carefully made a "rock sugar turtle" for the number one scholar to taste. He held up the four treasures of the study, spread out rice paper, and invited the number one scholar to name the restaurant.
No. 1 master was in the ascendant, and he did not shirk his responsibility. He began to write "No. 1 building".
From then on, the number one scholar building was famous in Jiangdong.
No.1 yuanlou famous dish rock sugar turtle, also famous overseas.
"This rock sugar turtle is not only delicious and plump, but also sweet and salty. There are even nourishing Yin, regulating qi and blood, tonifying deficiency and nourishing the body, and regulating malnutrition
Zhao Zilong said to himself when he was dealing with the turtle, which attracted the middle-aged man to nod slowly.
Under his watch, Zhao Zilong brought it to a boil over a large fire, stewed it in a small fire, and then added salt, soy sauce, and sugar to taste it. He changed the high fire to collect the juice, and dissolved the sauce in a medium fire. Finally, he made a delicious rock sugar turtle.
When Zhao Zilong presented this famous Jiangnan dish to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man raised his head and asked in a voice with great interest before tasting it: "is this the first time to make this dish?""Yes, please criticize and correct me!"
Zhao Zilong scratched his head and said with embarrassment.
