Food circle plug-in emperor

Chapter 889

When Fu Yu and Zhang Chenyang arrived at the location, Ji Yan was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing Zhang Chenyang and Fu Yu coming, Ji Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly greeted him: "Chenyang, you are here! This is Chef Fu!"

In the car before, Ji Yan didn't see who was coming, but now that he took a closer look, his face suddenly changed.

This Chef Fu is a bit too young, isn't he?
Looks like he's in his early twenties at most.

Zhang Chenyang introduced: "This is the chef I specially invited, Fu Yu."

Then he introduced Fu Yu: "This is Ji Yan, my buddy."

Fu Yu shook hands with Ji Yan: "Mr. Ji, hello."

Ji Yan held Fu Yu's hand, his eyelids twitched, and couldn't help saying, "Chu Fu is so young!"

For such words, Fu Yu listened too much and didn't take them seriously.

He smiled politely and asked, "Is the ingredients ready? I'll take a look first. Do you need to order any specific dishes here?"

When mentioning the dishes of Shangliang banquet, Ji Yan hurriedly said: "Yes! I just want to cook an authentic Kaijiang banquet. Now is a good time to eat river fish. In half a month at night, the fish will No more fat. In addition to the river fish feast, I also bought some other seafood, which are raised in buckets. They are all alive, and I want my relatives and friends to taste fresh!"

Ji Yan said while leading the way.

Fu Yu nodded and followed into the courtyard.

It's just 03:30 in the morning and it's still dark.

The big lamps were lit in the yard, but it was quite bright.

Ji Yan has indeed earned money from tossing food in the past few years. The small building is very impressive. Instead of leaving a small vegetable garden in the front yard, he directly paved a gravel road and dug a look at the running water. Nothing was raised.

The venue for the banquet was arranged in the backyard.

The venue is very spacious, it is estimated that eight tables will be set up, and there will be a prepared table. The dishes will be prepared as they are. If there are guests, the dishes will be served. If there are no guests, the host will keep them for himself.

This upper beam banquet is a big banquet with nine tables.

Ji Yan attached great importance to this banquet.

The venue for the banquet has been set up, and there are all kinds of ingredients and seasonings in the cooking kitchen.

These were purchased in advance by the previous chef, and Fu Yu had a general understanding of them, and the preparations were very comprehensive.

It's just that the dishes were ready to be tested at that time, so the recipes were selected according to the cooking habits of the injured chef.

Fu Yu took a general look, and some of the dishes could be customized, while others needed to be modified.

He first carefully checked the preparation of all the ingredients and seasonings, and then reformulated a recipe according to his own preferences.

Since we want to make it more upscale, we need to choose very exquisite and unique shapes in terms of dish presentation.

After all, it was the first time to take an order for a beam banquet, and Fu Yu didn't dare to take it too seriously. Yesterday, while taking the bus, he carefully looked through the special family banquet recipes.

It contains a lot of content about Kaijiang Banquet and high-end seafood banquet.

He mainly picked dishes that are fast to cook, delicious, and suitable for large banquets, and carefully recorded the specific ingredients and cooking methods.

Because he knew it well, Fu Yu was very fast in customizing dishes.

He handed over his newly customized menu to Ji Yan, and discussed with him the specific changes to the dishes and the reasons.

To Fu Yu's surprise, he originally thought that he would need to spend a lot of time to introduce in detail the several dishes he had customized, the specific related tastes and the design of the presentation.

As a result, Ji Yan took the menu, glanced at it roughly, and said very straightforwardly: "Chu Fu, you can take care of the table, just tell me if there is anything missing, and I will go buy it right away!"

When Ji Yan spoke, he kept looking at Fu Yu.

The two looked at each other, and Fu Yu's expression was indifferent. Hearing the words, he nodded: "Okay, I'll make another list, and you should try to get everything here."

Ji Yan agreed, took the list, and saw that there were some unpurchased seasonings on it, and some ingredients that needed to be supplemented.

While talking, someone came over.

They are four middle-aged aunts who seem to be very familiar with Ji Yan. After greeting them with a smile, Ji Yan introduced Fu Yu: "This is the master chef I invited, Chef Fu."

After finishing speaking, he said to Fu Yu: "These are the help cooks I invited, and I can let them do all the work of preparing dishes."

The four aunts were very cheerful, and they met Fu Yu with a smile, and offered to start working.

Fu Yu was not polite, and quickly arranged jobs for the four of them according to his needs.

And he himself was not idle, went to the kitchen, first filled and arranged the kitchen table with seasoning according to his usual habits.

In terms of tableware, I also checked it carefully.

The quantity is enough, but the material and shape are a bit unsatisfactory.

This is something that can’t be helped, after all, it’s a small county, and the chefs who were invited back were only the chefs in the restaurant, with limited skills.

Fu Yu picked out all the tableware, and quickly arranged the styles corresponding to the specific dishes in his mind.

Reluctantly arranged all the dishes properly.

At this time, the four aunts who were invited to help in the kitchen were already busy.

Fu Yu observed it calmly. The four aunts had a good relationship and looked very familiar.

When Ji Yan introduced them just now, he said that these four are all good cooks. Although they can't compare with restaurant chefs, some home-cooked dishes are still very good, and they are very diligent and quick to work.

While chatting enthusiastically, the aunts didn't delay the work at hand.

But since it is work, there will definitely be high and low efficiency.

Fu Yu had a very good impression of one of the aunts, Aunt Lianhua. This person was very smart, and she was entrusted to do things very neatly and meticulously.

The most important point is that Aunt Lianhua responds very quickly and communicates well.

Such a kitchen assistant will be easier to use.

Fu Yu weighed it for a while, and decided to bring Aunt Lianhua with him to help him. As for the other three aunts, they were responsible for washing vegetables and doing some simple cutting work.

Fu Yu's custom-made menu is a table of nine dishes, one soup, and the staple food is pre-bought flower rolls, which can be steamed directly in the wok.

In addition to river fish, Ji Yan also bought lobsters, crabs, gobies, scallops, and abalones.

In fact, the sea prawns in this season are not very fat, like crabs and gobies, they cannot be eaten steamed.

But other than that, these kinds of seafood are relatively easy to cook.

Fu Yu customized the cheese lobster, spicy crab, garlic scallop, sauce abalone, and improved salt and pepper goby shrimp that he usually cooks in Maxima.

These kinds of cooking methods are quick to make and do not delay the serving. And the most important point is that the shape of the plate is very beautiful and looks very high-end.

It is more in line with Ji Yan's original intention of hoping that the entire table can be high-end and have a good reputation.

The only soup that Fu Yu ordered was seafood soup. One is that he is used to making it, and the other is that the taste of this soup is more in line with the taste of the local people.

It is necessary to make the banquet noodles noble and noble, but also to ensure that the guests can eat to suit their tastes. Both must be balanced.

In addition to these six dishes, Fu Yu also ordered four river fish dishes.

He said he wanted to have an authentic Kaijiang banquet, but the seats are limited, so it would be impossible to set up a whole table. After all, he had to cook with expensive seafood first.

After careful consideration, Fu Yu decided on four very representative river fish dishes, stewed fish with de Molly, braised river prawns with willow roots, stewed eggplant with catfish, and fried small yellow flowers.

Fu Yu showed Aunt Lianhua the recipe and told her which dish to cook first and what ingredients were needed.

Aunt Lianhua wrote it down carefully, and then relayed it to other people. Then, with Fu Yu's approval, she began to follow the kitchen table, either helping pass the kitchen utensils, or urging others to prepare dishes.

Unknowingly, he has the posture of a formal helper in the kitchen.

And Zhang Chenyang took the initiative to change his clothes, and helped with the odd jobs of cutting and oiling.

Someone helped Zhang Luo prepare the dishes, Fu Yu saved a lot and put all his energy on cooking.

Several dishes are Fu Yu's usual routine. When the ingredients are ready, Fu Yu starts cooking.

Cook the time-consuming stew dishes first, and wait for these dishes to be on the stove before freeing up your hands to cook other fast dishes.

When you get busy, time always goes by so fast.

The Shangliang banquet was booked for 11:30 noon, and the guests began to come over after nine o'clock.

Ji Yan's family was busy serving sugar, melon seeds, and cigarettes, and they were extremely enthusiastic.

The guests strolled around in front of and behind the house, visited the inside and outside of the building, and there were constant praises.

The smiles on the faces of Ji Yan's family have never stopped since the beginning, and they were flushed with joy after being praised.

The back kitchen is also very busy.

In his opinion, the dishes Fu Yu cooks are mediocre, and they are all common dishes in seafood restaurants in Bei'an.

But Zhang Chenyang saw it in his eyes, but it was extremely novel.

No one in a small county would buy some seafood like lobster and abalone. Watching Fu Yu cook, it's really fresh everywhere, and every step is special.

Especially when Fu Yu was cooking salt and pepper shrimp gobies, even Zhang Chenyang was amazed at the operation of opening the shell with one hand!
Shrimp goby is not a particularly high-end dish, just eat it fresh.

Everyday is nothing more than a hot pot and a spicy stir-fry.

Salt and pepper shrimp goby is not a rare dish, but Fu Yu's operation of opening the shell is really unprecedented and unprecedented!
At least Zhang Chenyang felt his eyes opened when he watched it!

So can this goby still do this?

It seems that it is not particularly difficult, as long as it is like this, and then the knife is like that
The operation is not difficult, and it seems that you can try it yourself!

For the ten tables, each dish has to be made ten servings.

Goby shrimp is not an outstanding dish, especially in this season, the meat is not fat and the size is not big.

Usually it is enough to put a dozen or so on a plate, but now you have to put at least twenty to make the plate look full.

Zhang Chenyang looked at Fu Yu holding a kitchen knife and easily opening the shells of gobies, and he was a little eager to try.

"Fu Chu, let me help you deal with the gobies? There are so many, you can't handle it by yourself."

Fu Yu shook his head when he heard the words: "You really can't do this."

But if another person said that, Zhang Chenyang's mood would not be smooth.

What do you mean?
Look down on people?
But this was said by Fu Yu, Zhang Chenyang couldn't help but weigh it in his heart.

Can't even do it yourself?
Could it be that this goby has to remove its shell, is there any trick?
Zhang Chenyang asked suddenly, and Fu Yu was busy with the operation, so he just answered casually.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that there was something wrong with what he said.

This tone seems to be contemptuous.

Fu Yu hurriedly explained: "This salt and pepper shrimp goby is an innovative and improved dish I made when I was in Maxima."

Zhang Chenyang understood immediately.

Oh, it turned out to be an improved dish of Maxima, no wonder I didn't let myself try it.

As soon as he thought about it, he heard Fu Yu continue to say: "There is actually nothing difficult in cooking this dish, the main thing is the splitting of the goby shell. It is very difficult to do well if you don't know the skills and practice a lot. "

After Fu Yu finished speaking, he deliberately slowed down the movements in his hands, motioning for Zhang Chenyang to observe.

When the shrimp goby is opened its shell, it is not directly performed freshly, but is operated after the cooking is completed.

Fu Yu took the cooked gobies out of the pot one by one with chopsticks, put them on a clean cutting board, and used a kitchen knife to cut open the shells at the "zippers" on both sides of the gobies.

His movements are very nimble, and the shell of the shrimp on one side of the goby will be cut open with one stroke of the knife.

It was precisely because he did it neatly that Zhang Chenyang felt that this operation was not difficult, and he could do it himself.

Fu Yu concocted two gobies one by one, but this time, he was not in a hurry to put them on the plate, but asked Zhang Chenyang to take a closer look.

Fu Yu asked: "Can you see the traces of my cutting?"

Zhang Chenyang stretched out his head to look, and was immediately dumbfounded.

It's just that the two shrimp gobies that have been cut have no trace of a knife being cut on their backs.

Hey?
Where did the cut just go?

Zhang Chenyang was taken aback, and after a closer look, he discovered that there were two faint scratches on both sides of the shrimp goby.

Zhang Chenyang was stunned for a moment!

Not
He clearly saw Fu Yu cutting with a kitchen knife with his own eyes just now. At that time, he looked at the very casual operation. Now that he took a closer look, he realized that both the length of the line and the details were handled perfectly. .

Especially the fineness of the line is so perfect, it's so awesome!
No wonder Fu Yu said just now that he hadn't practiced this operation before, and it would be difficult to succeed if he started it rashly.

This seemingly simple step is actually quite difficult to do in practice!

Looking at the tiger in front of him, Zhang Chenyang felt very emotional, Maxima really deserves to be a century-old shop!
Even an innovative dish is so distinctive!
It is obviously a very common dish, but it can be upgraded to a high-end dish that cannot be imitated outside!
Suddenly, Zhang Chenyang realized that he had learned a brand new operation technique.

It's okay if you can't do it now!

He can go back and practice repeatedly!
The decision of the boss to hire Fu Yu to guide the promotion of new dishes in the store is really wise!
I must cherish this opportunity and work hard to improve my cooking skills!

Thinking of this, Zhang Chenyang became more diligent and conscientious when he started.
