Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 199 Shocked, this big pot of rice chef actually
"Is this something a little twenty-something could make?"

"Is this a dish that a cook who cooks big pots for theatrical troupes can cook?"

"Now the troupe's big pot of rice is already at this level?"

Jin Dachuan not only asked three soul questions in his mind.

The first dish in the big pot rice made by Chen Nian today is the best potato braised pork.

The stewed potatoes are soft, glutinous and rotten, and the outer seconds are completely filled with rich and mellow gravy. The stewed meat is fat and thin, and it can be bitten open by lightly cutting the teeth, but it still does not lose its elasticity, while the fat meat melts with a sip The soup flows into the throat with a fragrant and meaty aroma.

The second dish is a vegetarian dish, which is also a local specialty of stir-fried artemisia.

Although it is a big pot dish, after being fried for a long time, this dish is basically at the level of a small pot dish in terms of appearance and taste.

Although the technical content of this kind of home-cooked vegetarian dishes is not so high, being able to cook home-cooked vegetarian dishes is also one of the criteria for testing a chef's skill. However, it still requires some difficult skills to handle artemisia.

But even so, Artemisia annua is the kind of dish that is easy to make but difficult to make well.

The third dish is stir-fried soybeans with pickled cabbage, which is quite satisfactory and not easy to make mistakes.

Jin Dachuan had a complicated look on the meal, but at the same time he secretly made up his mind.

When cooking on the day of the birthday banquet, the key steps must not be seen by Chen Nian!
Otherwise, with this guy's level, it is estimated that he can fully learn the skills of these dishes just by looking at the correct method.

Although he still doesn't know exactly what the level of aging is, he is definitely not the kind of ordinary cook who has no pursuit and only wants to cook the food to idle away.

At about 09:30 in the evening, Li Fuchun and others got off the stage, changed their clothes and removed their make-up, and came over for dinner.

But since Jin Dachuan just arrived today, it is natural to meet and have a meal with these hosts.

What's more, he still had other thoughts when he was eating in the afternoon, so he didn't feel full.

Just eat something at night and treat it as a midnight snack.

But this time, Chen Nian didn't prepare meals in advance. After all, he wanted to entertain guests, so Li Fuchun and the others felt that they had to order a few dishes before the guests didn't like it, so they asked Chen Nian to prepare them now.

So everyone started to order food one after another.

"Vance Tofu!"

"Big boiled dried shredded rice!"

"Stir-fried artemisia!"

“Shrimp and water shield soup!”

……

Following everyone's ordering, Chen Nian wrote down all of them one by one.

But the more Jin Dachuan listened to him, the more he felt that the dishes ordered by these people could be prepared by a chef who made a big pot of rice?
Taking a step back, even if Chen Nian is good at making a big pot of rice, it is equivalent to directly putting a student at the level of the school sports meeting on the Olympic field!
These dishes are not the same as braised pork.

Except for stir-fried Artemisia annua and water shield, which are more homely dishes, the others are not homely at all!

What's more, Wensi tofu and Daboiled dried shredded dishes have extremely high requirements on knife skills.

If you don't have many years of skill, you can only make a superficial appearance.

Old age is full of calculations, it seems that 24 or [-] years old can't be more.

So young
After thinking about it, they are here to entertain themselves.

Jin Dachuan thought that these people deliberately ordered some of these dishes to cleanse himself up for the sake of entertaining him, and wanted to improve the standard?
But Jin Dachuan felt that it was unnecessary. Although he was a cook, he was not too picky when eating, as long as the home-cooked dishes were almost ready.

But for a dish like Wensi tofu, it would be very uncomfortable if it was cooked poorly.

Don't look bad if the food isn't ready at that time.

After all, my master and the head manager of Chunyu Class are also acquaintances.

So he stood up and said, "Why don't I help out together, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish cooking so many dishes in a while."

The starting point is good, although he hides that he doesn't want Chen Nian to learn his unique skills, but he is still very open-minded in dealing with people.

But at this time Li Fuchun said: "Chef Jin, you don't need it, you can rest as long as you have a rest, the craftsmanship of Chen Nian is not bad, and the cooking is not slow, let's just wait while chatting."

And Chen Nian also nodded: "That's right, everyone waited while chatting, and all the dishes will be ready in about half an hour."

This is also the time that Chen Nian calculated when they were ordering.

If you run the cooking speed to the limit and then operate with multiple lines, it can be done without accident.

But Jin Dachuan didn't think so, he felt that Chen Nian might be trying to make a show of himself in front of him.

Perhaps this young man's knife skills are remarkable, but if you want to make Wensi tofu, you can't just cut the tofu into ordinary shreds.

Even if you don't need one hair thickness, you have to have two or three hair thicknesses, right?

This step alone is beyond the reach of many chefs.

Those who are not talented may not be able to do it all their lives.

But he didn't know that this was not a problem for Chen Nian at all.

After finishing speaking, he left here and walked out of the kitchen. To be honest, he had already prepared all the dishes they wanted until the evening when he asked everyone to order.

The main thing is that I have spent so long with these people in the Chunyu class, and I know their tastes and personalities well.

This can be regarded as the professional quality of a professional chef.

So when Chen Nian came to the kitchen, all kinds of ingredients were neatly stacked in those pots and plates.

The seasoning has already been prepared.

The very beginning was to make Wensi tofu, after all, this dish is supposed to take the most time.

It must take a little effort to cook the soup.

And those stir-fries are easy to say, one can be done in a few minutes.

Afterwards, everyone was chatting there, only to hear the tinkling in the kitchen next to them, as if they were playing a symphony.

When Chen Nian basically prepares two dishes, he will serve them and let them eat first.

Jin Dachuan was more and more shocked when he looked over there. The first few vegetarian dishes were okay. He had already eaten the fried artemisia just now. This dish was made in a small pot. Doing it yourself is the way to go.

And water shield is actually not difficult, the slightly more troublesome part is that when cleaning, you must clean the layer of greasy mucus on it, so that it will not affect the taste and texture.

But when the third dish was boiled dry shredded rice, Jin Dachuan suddenly became shocked.

Because the taste of this big boiled dried shredded dish made by the old age is good enough to be a chef in the restaurant where you are, whether it is from the soup base or the knife skills of the tofu shreds!

You must know that you are now the chef in the restaurant. Although the chef in the kitchen is still the master, if there are no distinguished guests, you are basically in charge of the cooking.

In other words, the boiled dried shredded rice made by Chen Nian is only higher than my own!
Then there are some home-cooked dishes, which of course are everyone's favorite.

But these dishes are not painful to Jin Dachuan. Although they are delicious, they are just home-cooked dishes.

But even so, Jin Dachuan felt that he had to find some time to chat with Chen Nian later, to see if he could be dragged to his own restaurant, even if he offended Chun Yuban because of it.

Even if he is only good at a few dishes, the level of Chen Nian is enough for the master to come forward.

But this is the case until the last case of soup is brought out by Chen Nian.

Vance Tofu.
