Food starts with Mapo Tofu

At the level of Zhou Ji, he can tell whether the ingredients are fresh or not, not to mention how the dish is prepared or how it was marinated before, if he tastes the food.

"The ingredients used in this store are very fresh. I have been eating them since just now, and there is nothing that is not fresh. Many restaurants will continue to make things that cannot be finished today until tomorrow, but you think, there is nothing else. Let's just talk about meat.

Before selling, it is usually sent to the stall in the cold storage. After taking it back, it will be cooked. If it is not finished, it will be frozen. Wait until the next day to continue to thaw and then cook. Between such repeated freezing and thawing, the meat will produce. No matter what method is used to make a lot of meat, it will become dry and hard, because of this. "Zhou Ji said.

These things that many people don't know are common sense knowledge in Zhou Ji's view.

Before eating the chicken, he put a piece of chili into his mouth: "The chili is well processed, a little crispy but not dry, which means that the chili was soaked in something after it was cut and de-seeded." of."

"Is it hard work with technology?" Xiao Wang asked.

"This thing can't be worked hard with technology. Just pour a little white wine into it and soak it, or soak it in water. Like him, it's soaked in white wine, although when you eat it I can’t taste the wine anymore, but I can still taste the food.”

"But up to now, it should be considered as four different styles of dishes. Although this spicy chicken is Sichuan cuisine, it is consistent in the major cuisines, but if it is subdivided, it will be different."

Afterwards, he tasted the chicken of the spicy chicken, and he was sure that the small bamboo shoot chicken was also used for aging.

"That's right, today we only ordered four dishes on the menu, plus a main dish and a soup, but so far every dish has been cooked very well, and we have also done it in many details that are not easy to notice It's very good.

"Okay, but you should be the master of the white case here, right?"

Zhou Ji smiled: "Actually, if it's just the dishes on the menu, it's not impossible. Learning one cuisine is learning, taking out the signature dishes of the eight major cuisines and even some other local cuisines is also learning, although it may not be so good. Systematization, but as long as you master the essence, it is not impossible.

"To be honest, if he didn't have his own store now, I would have wanted to get him into our store, and then he would be my nominal apprentice. I am sure that he will surpass you within three years. "Zhou Ji showed off to his senior brother.

"Come on, no one is stopping you. I have visited too many stores in the capital, and everyone knows me, so I ran out to change the environment and continue to explore. You can also come."

Turning her head to look at her son who was showing a helpless expression in the kitchen, she couldn't help but feel even more proud.

He Hai scratched his head in embarrassment: "It should be considered, but I have only studied with Master for about half a year, and now the only thing I can get out is a piece of noodles mixed with scallion oil, as well as small noodles and steamed buns. Category."

Hearing Zhou Ji's praise, Feng Honghong snickered aside.

If he can make all these into the level of table dishes, then I will really admire this boss. "

Even if you go out to chat with others, you will have a lot of face when you talk about it.

As soon as Zhou Ji heard this, he became interested: "Then can I take a look?"

Not to mention that when people come to visit the store, they will have to make a video and send it out.

"Little master, don't be too restrained, just treat us as normal customers. Everyone learns from one dish to another, but ah, I see your scallion oil noodles, both in taste and color. Authentic."

"Okay, then I'll think about it later, you explore first, I still have something to do here."

Then he tasted it again and gave a very high evaluation again.

Therefore, He Hai became more and more proud after returning.

After hanging up the phone, Old God Zhou Ji leaned back on the back seat thinking about this lunch.

"Okay, this is the first meal you ate after you went to Chengdu, right? I didn't expect the first meal to be so good, it made me want to go."

Just like the additives in food today, many of them are within the framework defined by the regulations. It is normal for you to use them within this range, but if you put too much, you may not be found out, so just Just look at the chef's personal conscience. "

"It's very good, there are no shortcomings, come on, young man, learn and work hard with your master, and I have taught you this kind of unique craftsmanship after only half a year, which shows that your master is not a person who likes to hide secrets. To put it in the time when I was just learning how to cook decades ago, I dare not even think about it.”

Zhou Ji outside had almost finished his meal after eating noodles and Wensi tofu. Although there were leftovers in every dish, they still packed them up and took them home.

So just to comment, it is enough to find your own master.

In fact, many things can be cooked or not. After all, customers may not be able to eat them. As long as heavy oil and spicy oil are put in, the taste of the food will not be bad.

Open it and take a look: "Hey, this is the place to see the real thing. I didn't expect the boss to hide it. If the dishes in the menu we read just now are relatively homely, some of them The dishes seem a bit advanced.

Finally, she brought the menu and handed it to Zhou Ji.

"so smart?"

There are other Huaiyang dishes and Shandong dishes in that menu, and there are more than 30 dishes in total. "

But this was heard by Feng Honghong who was passing by. She had never dared to say anything before, but after hearing this, she still couldn't help it. After all, she is usually a chatterbox. say something.

At this moment, Xiao Wang thought about the scallion noodles and Wensi tofu that they hadn't served yet, so he asked again: "Wait a minute, our staple food and that soup are two other cuisines."

After leaving, Zhou Ji sat in the car on the phone and shared with his senior brother the meal he ate at noon today.

It's not that they really want to get any constructive advice from Zhou Ji, because they know that their master's level is not bad at all. Although he is a junior compared to the special chef outside, every dish is served with great praise. A high evaluation is enough to show the high level of the master.

"That's not true, I've heard that it's only been less than a year since he started learning how to cook seriously."

The main reason is that they also want to be praised by such a chef.

"Xiao Wang, do you want to say that a person who learns so many cuisines may be too many but not good at it?"

At the same time, Xiao Wang used his mobile phone to search for more detailed information about aging, and talked to him while searching.

People have vanity, and so do they.

After being praised, He Hai went back happily, which made other people feel itchy.

It's nothing more than the difference between whether it's delicious or not, and whether it's authentic or not. "

"Okay." Feng Honghong was very happy, mainly because she wanted to promote her son and show off in front of such a master.

Unfortunately, they have no chance now.

Afterwards, He Hai came out with scallion oil noodles, and did not leave immediately: "Master Zhou, can you comment on this scallion oil noodles again, this is what Master taught me to make, and he asked me to Listen to your comments."

"Yes, but I haven't heard you say that there is anything bad about his dishes, except that the stove used on the roast duck is not that good."

"But we don't only have these dishes on the menu here. Besides these, we also have a menu, which is specially used for banquets. You see, we have a private room inside, and we will also take some banquets on weekdays.

Zhou Ji listened like this and suddenly thought of another thing: "Some time ago, I received an invitation for the Chef King Competition, and I wanted to compete with some foreign chefs in cooking.

But the specific competition time was set after the Chinese New Year. He also asked some friends about the team that will participate in the competition this time, and only two candidates have been confirmed so far.

"By the way, Xiao Wang, what did you just say? This Boss Chen is still a celebrity chef. He was photographed going abroad to participate in variety shows before? And he can cook Western food?"

"Yes."

"Get out that page you just had and let me see it."
