Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Feng Honghong was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't dare to agree directly. She knew that her son had already planned for today's roast duck.

Moreover, there are not many roast ducks in total, so if they are sold out, there will be nothing left to sell at noon, and he has already said earlier that he would not want to break his promise to treat guests, but the roast duck that the old man refers to only costs 110, not to mention whether he can finish it or not. The price alone is already the most expensive of all the dishes in the store.

But she couldn't bear to reject such an old man from the bottom of her heart, so she looked at Chen Nian: "Son, he wants to order roast duck."

Chen Nian didn't think much about it after hearing it in the kitchen, so he nodded directly: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll do it."

Then Chen Nian looked at the ducks in the oven that were still undercooked, but the fastest one would be ready for another 5 minutes.

So Chen Nian went outside again and bowed to the uncle: "Master, you have to wait a little bit for the roast duck you ordered, about 5 minutes."

"It's okay, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

But just after talking about old age, I heard a "grunt", which is obviously the uncle's stomach growling.

Seeing that the uncle is not in a hurry or impatient, it seems that it is really not him who is hungry.

But with the old man nodding, he returned to the kitchen and started preparing the dipping sauce and side dishes, as well as the pancakes that will be used to roll the roast duck.

Although the most important thing in BJ roast duck is the duck, other ingredients are also indispensable.

After preparing everything in this way, Chen Nian turned his head and saw that the roast duck inside was almost ready.

So he lifted out the already red duck and put it directly on the chopping board.

Then he took a slender square knife, which of course was a knife he bought specially for roast duck.

You must know that if you want to get such a knife at that time, you have to ask someone to do it. How can it be so convenient now, you can just search online for what you want.

Since there was no one else in the store except the old man at this time, other people in the kitchen also gathered around to see how Chen Nian sliced ​​the duck.

After Chen Nian got the duck, he touched the plump and upright chest of the duck immediately with his hands. Because of the previous pumping, the duck looked extremely round at this time.

"It's so beautiful! It must be delicious!" He Hai swallowed casually.

But Chen Nian didn't care about it. This was the first roast duck sold in his store, and it was still very commemorative, so he would go all out.

First, he picked up the knife and began to gently push and pull the knife from the top of the duck's chest to extend downwards, and quickly sliced ​​off the hollow duck skin.

"Eating roast duck is equivalent to being particular. For example, the first piece of duck skin will be dipped in sugar later." Chen Nian said.

Everyone nodded after hearing this, expressing their eye-opening experience. Maybe many people have been to the capital to eat roast duck and have seen how the duck is sliced, but some people have not, and even their knowledge of BJ roast duck is limited to some rumors Or from TV or mobile phone.

Afterwards, the old man began to slice the duck, starting from the bottom, every time the knife went down, the skin and flesh must be cut, and the movements and postures were extremely smooth, without any stagnation.

When each piece of duck meat was put on the plate, the work of arranging the plate was done along the way.

The duck meat that was cut into a fan-shaped top circle and bottom tip was neatly placed on the plate. At first glance, it looked like a dragon's scales.

The crimson duck skin is paired with the pink and white meat, just by looking at it, people can't help but whet their appetite, especially after Chen Nian just opened the shell of the duck's breast, it is still steaming inside.

But other people watched it with surprise and admiration, only Li Ting took it very seriously.

Because since he entered this industry, his goal is to continuously improve his knife skills. Originally, he thought that if he could cut dishes like Wensi tofu or chrysanthemum tofu, it would be regarded as a knife skill.
But when he was really able to make these two things, he realized that these two cutting methods of tofu can only show that his knife skills are passing, and there are still many levels to go up.

The real skill of the knife is not to be able to make tofu, but to be able to meet the requirements of different dishes for ingredients with ease.

Just like old-fashioned duck...

If the requirement is only to slice the duck very thinly, then Li Ting can do it himself, but like now, every time he cuts the duck, it is even the skin, and the size and shape are basically the same.

Even when he was making old slices of duck, he was still counting in his heart.

Until the old age finished slicing the duck...

A total of one hundred and eight dollars, although he has never eaten this kind of roast duck before or watched a similar video, but he still remembers the number of one hundred and eight.

"really!"

Li Ting felt a little excited, because he felt as if he had found a brand new path of his own!

Wanting to practice knife skills is a manifestation of raw ingredients, but it is another manifestation of cooked ingredients.

But at this moment, another voice came from the door.

"Boss, I'm here to eat duck!" Xiao Jing shouted as soon as he entered the door, probably because he was too urgent, so he didn't see the old man sitting in the corner.

Going straight to the window, I saw Chen Nian slicing duck meat inside at a glance: "Brother Chen, you are so interesting, you knew I was coming and cut up the duck in advance? But should I say it or not, this duck is sliced It's really beautiful!"

As a result, after Chen Nian heard this, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Jing: "This is not for you, it is for the old man over there, he came earlier than you, you have to wait a little longer if you want to eat .”

"Ah?" Xiao Jing turned his head and saw the old man in the corner at this moment, only to see that the old man was also looking at the window at the moment, and after meeting Xiao Jing's eyes, he grinned.

And Xiao Jing knew that he had made a big oolong, so he had no choice but to respond with a smile in embarrassment.

"Okay, you go and sit over there first, and I'll get it for you after I finish this." Chen Nian slightly raised his head, signaling Xiao Jing not to worry, just wait.

And Chen Nian put the leftovers aside after finishing the duck, and then came outside with the plate himself.

"Old man, the roast duck you want has already been sliced, and now there are still some leftovers. Do you want salt and pepper, make it into soup, or pack it for you to take home?" Chen Nian asked.

"I want to drink soup..." The old man looked at the roast duck that had been placed on a plate, and his eyes seemed to be attracted to him, but in the face of Chen Nian's question, he made his choice without raising his head.

"Okay, you eat the duck first, and I'll go and make soup for you with the rest of the duck rack."

After talking about aging, he returned to the kitchen, ready to boil the remaining duck skeleton into soup.

Of course, this price is also included in the service. After all, the duck has sold for more than 100 yuan, so it’s okay to process it for free.

And if the customer wants to take it home to cook, or if they want to save it for dinner, they can also choose to take it away. In short, the price remains the same.

To cook soup with duck racks, if you want to boil the soup into milky white, you must first stir the remaining duck to remove its excess fat, and at the same time remove its excess fishy smell, and then pour boiling water into it.

If this is not the case, the soup made will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Then add cabbage, tofu, salt and pepper, there is no need to put anything else.

But in the process of making the soup, Chen Nian suddenly thought of one thing, that is, he seemed to have forgotten to tell the uncle how to eat the duck just now.

But as soon as he looked up, the uncle had already started to eat skillfully.

The duck skin is dipped in sugar, the duck meat is dipped in sauce and placed in the lotus leaf cake, and then other side dishes are put in. Although it can be seen that the skinny hands are trembling, but when rolling the lotus leaf cake At that time, it was called meticulous.

After the roll is finished, open your mouth and stuff the food in your hand directly into your mouth, and start to savor it carefully.

His two hands were propped on the table like this, stretching forward slightly and still maintaining the previous movement, but when he was chewing, he was nodding his head while eating.

After a while like this, the uncle finally finished eating the duck in his mouth, took a shallow sip of the water Feng Honghong just poured next to him, and then raised his head again to look at the one who was slicing a duck in the kitchen , Stir the duck rack soup in the pot from time to time, and I can't stop looking out of the old age.

The two looked at each other, and the uncle showed a smile again, then gave a thumbs up and compared towards the inside.

Chen Nian smiled sincerely after seeing the thumbs up of the uncle.

At this moment, he felt very happy.

But I was also very surprised that the uncle is also a good eater of ducks.

I must have traveled a lot when I was young.

Then the uncle was over there alone, slowly tasting the roast duck, and he brought out Xiao Jing’s roast duck slices not too long after it was old: "The remaining duck racks can be made into salt and pepper soup, or you can pack it yourself Walk."

"I want too..." Xiao Jing just wanted to say that I also want to make soup, but turned around and saw that the uncle had ordered soup over there. Although he hadn't drank it himself, he finally changed his mouth, " Then I want salt and pepper."

Chen Nian nodded, and started to heat the oil in the pan, preparing to fry the duck rack.

However, on the way, Chen Nian filled out the duck soup that had just been boiled, filled a large pot and brought it out for the uncle.

"Master, this is a soup made from duck racks."

"Thank you, comrade." The uncle nodded, raised his hand and greeted him very politely.

"It's okay, you can try this soup, it's pretty good, I'll go back to the kitchen first."

"Okay, go and do your work, don't worry about me." The uncle said cheerfully.

As Chen Nian walked back, he also sighed, this uncle is too polite, he is not at all as dazed as he was when he just came in.

The duck rack that Xiao Jing wants is better, as long as it is deep-fried in a frying pan, sprinkle some salt and pepper after it comes out of the pan, and spread it while weighing it in the basin to cover the salt and pepper evenly.

Xiao Jing also ate roast duck before, but that was when he was a child. When his family traveled to the capital, they ate it in time-honored restaurants.

Now, looking at the plate of roast duck in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the past when he ate it even though his stomach was full, but he still wanted to eat it.

After setting up the camera, he first picked up the lotus leaf cake and held it in his hand, then said to the camera: "I just learned that the boss is going to launch roast duck this morning, so I came here to eat it right now. Ben I thought it would be the first, but I didn't expect that there was an old gentleman who came earlier than me and had already eaten.

But in order to eat roast duck, I have done enough homework. First of all, this lotus leaf cake, you see, I have already grasped it, and when I release it later, it must be a complete sheet. "

While talking, he let go of his hand, and the lotus leaf cake that was held just now turned into a complete piece again.

"The first bite I'm going to eat next is these pieces of duck skin. Even though they have been cut into strips, they have to be cut off completely with a knife, because when making roast duck, you have to cut it from the back. Blow air, so especially when it comes to the chest, its skin and flesh are separated, and the internal structure is in a hollow state.

While talking, he wore gloves, picked up a piece of duck skin, dipped it in sugar, and put it in his mouth.

For a moment, Xiao Jing's eyes lit up.

"This piece of duck skin is really interesting. Although I ate it in a time-honored shop when I was a child, after so many years, I only remember how delicious it is, and I can't compare it. But what I can tell you is this piece of duck skin. When roasting, all the internal fat has been roasted out, and some are left like a film attached to the surface of the duck skin.

So even when the duck skin is roasted and it makes a crunchy sound, it doesn't feel dry at all, but the slightly oily feeling is very satisfying.

In addition, the white sugar dipped in can neutralize part of the taste of fat, so you will feel particularly fragrant when you eat it. "

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of duck skin, dipped it in sugar and put it in his mouth: "Don't say this is addictive, it feels like a snack, but it's much more advanced than a snack.

The total cost of this dish is 110 yuan. I roughly counted the slices and it turned out to be [-] pieces. That is to say, each piece costs [-] yuan, plus I asked the boss to make the leftover duck rack for me. It's salt and pepper flavored, and it's ten yuan more... It's quite a deal, at least I can't finish it by myself. "

Xiao Jing talked while eating.

After eating a few pieces of duck skin, he picked up the duck meat to dip in the sauce and rolled it with side dishes. He also gave a very high evaluation.

As a result, while he was eating, Miao Miao Wu also came.

It can be seen that today's Wu Miaomiao has also been carefully dressed, wearing a Tang suit.

But as soon as she entered the door, Xiao Jing who subconsciously turned her head saw her, and hurriedly greeted her to come here.

"Why did you come so early?" Miao Miaowu asked in surprise.

But Xiao Jing shook his head: "I'm not the first one to come, the old man over there came earlier than me, but that old man seems to have finished eating."

Miao Miaowu turned her head and took a look, but didn't feel anything.

At this time Xiao Jing continued: "I've just started eating too, and there's still a lot to eat. I definitely can't finish it by myself. How about the two of us together?"

Miao Miaowu looked at the roast duck: "Are you inviting me?"

"Of course please. I'll eat today with peace of mind. I'll pay for how much I eat." Xiao Jing said very grandly.

"Then I'll be more respectful than obedient."
