Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 840 Burning Deer Tendon (ask for a monthly ticket)
Then Chen Nian followed Song Qingzhou to handle the next dish.

Roast deer tendon.

Just hearing the name of the old age makes me look forward to it.

This kind of dish that can't be cooked in reality can only be touched in the dream space.

However, although roasted deer tendon is not edible in modern times, restaurants will also replace deer tendon with other such as beef tendon and donkey tendon.

"Old age, go and get four pieces of deer tendon, four qian of dried scallops, four qian of sea rice, about one or two or three shiitake mushrooms, a hen about two catties, one catty of pork, two qian of magnolia slices, two rapeseed hearts, And four taels of ham."

"Okay, Master Song."

Chen Nian nodded and went to the warehouse to get the ingredients.

Such as shiitake mushrooms, scallops, dried shrimps, etc. can be directly called ready-made ones in the warehouse, and only need to be recorded by the person in charge of the warehouse.

But chickens, ducks, and geese need to be killed on the spot, so he has to report here first, and then a special person will kill them according to the requirements of the imperial chef before bringing them to the kitchen
Watching Chen Nian bring back some of the ingredients, Song Qingzhou continued, "Clean these things first, and then boil the deer tendons twice in boiling water."

After aging, Song Qingzhou found himself much more relaxed.

Don't worry about asking the chef to do things that can be handed over to Chen Nian, and other parts that need to be done by himself, such as boiled ingredients, can also be handed over to Chen Nian.

But now all he has to do is prepare the seasoning, and he will start directly after the old age has prepared all the ingredients.

But how much effort can it take to prepare the materials?

So he started to tell Chen Nian about this dish when he had nothing to do.

"Old year, roasted deer tendon is one of His Majesty's favorite dishes. As cooks, we not only have to consider whether the dish is delicious, but also its function. For this, we can often go to the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital to chat. After all, food tonic is also a kind of supplement to the human body.

For example, this roasted deer tendon can strengthen the tendons and bones, and relieve symptoms such as strain, sore waist and knees, and cold stomach.

Because sometimes His Majesty or other ladies in the palace don't have that good appetite and don't want to eat much. At this time, we need to produce a recipe to show them. "

"Understood, it is to prescribe the right medicine. If any empress is tired recently, she can make this roasted deer tendon."

"That's it."

In fact, Chen Nian also knows some knowledge about medicine and dietary supplements. He made crab powder, Gorgon fruit, fish and sheep in last year's competition, and later studied in a pharmacy during the Great Qi Dynasty.

While speaking, Chen Nian had already processed the ingredients in front of him, and the warehouse also sent the slaughtered chicken here.

Song Qingzhou is boiling the clear soup at the moment, while Chen Nian is further processing and cleaning the chicken and then blanching it.

After the clear soup boiled and the chicken was blanched, Song Qingzuo put the scallops, sea rice, shiitake mushrooms, chicken, ham, pork and other ingredients into the pot together, and added some seasonings into it to simmer slowly.

It's just that when Chen Nian saw that the other party was adding seasonings, Song Qingzhou would make a gesture of taking three quarters of the seasonings on the table, but not every kind of seasoning would get into the spoon, but if you don't look closely If so, you can't see it at all.

"It is estimated that doing this is because I am afraid that people will steal the teacher, so I deliberately made these fake movements, just like when Jin Dachuan was cooking, he would deliberately distract me when he put a certain key ingredient or seasoning at the beginning." Chen Nian thought.

It's just that Chen Nian looked at Song Qingzhou's extremely skillful movements, and obviously regarded this thing as a science.

Afterwards, Song Qingzhou told the chefs here to also keep the fire low.

Afterwards, he brought Jiang Bai to the yard to breathe.

"In fact, when working in the imperial dining room, many things can be handed over to the people below, but there is a prerequisite that the people below must be able to do this job.

For example, before you came, I would not feel at ease just handing over some vegetable-cutting tasks to the assistant chefs, so I have to keep an eye on them. If the other royal chefs have no work to do, come over and help me chop the vegetables. No need to keep staring. "

"Yeah, someone has to share it. If you do everything yourself, how can you do it?"

"That's right, but you are indeed quite talented. I really like your cleverness. Even if the grade comes down by then, I plan to arrange you by my side."

Chen Nian nodded: "Thank you Master Song, I also want to follow you all the time."

However, he heard that Song Qingzhou seemed to have something in his words, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the other party seemed to be pointing at him.

So Chen Nian tried again: "Master Song, don't you accept a few apprentices here? It would be easier if you have apprentices who can be trained by themselves."

"As an apprentice, I took two of them before, but they were later given to Prince Jin by His Majesty, so there are still no one under my command."

Hearing these words, Chen Nian felt that although he asked this question, there was obviously some expectation in the eyes of the other party when he said it.

Seeing this, how could he not understand what the other party meant?
So I decided to make a straight shot: "Master Song, although this junior has learned a lot of cooking over the years, he doesn't have a formal master, nor has he had any specific contact with a certain school. I wonder if this junior can join your sect? "

Song Qingzhou was even happier for a while, he had exactly this intention, and he just took into account that Chen Nian's origin was difficult to explain clearly.

But seeing that Chen Nian is easy to understand, I am more satisfied with Chen Nian: "I am willing to accept apprentices, after all, I don't have any apprentices around me now, so it is very inconvenient to do many things..."

"Master! Please be the first disciple to worship!"

When Chen Nian heard that the other party agreed, he was about to bow down immediately, but was stopped by Song Qingzhou.

"It's not urgent, we'll talk about it after you get the rank, and naturally you have to be a little particular about recruiting apprentices."

Chen Nian knew it clearly: "It's disciple Meng Lang. After the disciple gets the grade, he will serve tea and formally worship you as his teacher."

"Well, later on, I'll ask some adults to come together to be a witness, and since you plan to worship under my name, I have to take you to meet your other uncles and masters later on."

"It should be."

Song Qingzhou was in a good mood, and then he talked about what happened just now.

"Cooking in the imperial dining room sometimes has to be a bit taboo, and many of the crafts and practices of the school cannot be learned by outsiders, so sometimes it is necessary to use some tricks to deceive people.

It's just that you don't have to worry, since you have joined my sect, I will definitely guide you carefully, and if you have anything you don't understand, you can just ask me. "

"Disciple understands."

Although he has not formally apprenticed to a teacher, Chen Nian has already begun to regard himself as a disciple.

In this way, after they chatted in the yard for a while, Song Qingzhou took Chen Nian back to continue cooking other dishes.
