Don't pretend, I'm the God of Cooking and I'll showdown!

Chapter 423 Clear and transparent soup, noodles as thin as silver threads—the more high-end, the simpler! 【Subscribe】

"Hey, Master Lin is here so early!"

Yin Hongbin saw Lin Xu's car when he turned to Building No. [-], and waved at Lin Xu with a boning knife.

Lin Xu felt that he was careless. When he saw Lao Yin just now, he should turn to Building No. [-] first.

In this way, you may be able to see the plot that Diaoyutai loves to see.

He drove slowly to the gate of Building No. [-], lowered the window, and asked Yin Hongbin who was standing by the roadside:

"What is Chef Yin doing? Did my brother provoke you again?"

Only then did Yin Hongbin realize that he was holding a boning knife in his hand, and he said with a smile:

"No, no, Lao Xie wants to cook beef bone soup. I came to help him, and I happened to learn about vermicelli in clear soup. Let's see if I can make it."

It is probably a bit complicated for others to make vermicelli in clear soup.

But Yin Hongbin is different. At any rate, he has no problem with ramen. As for the remaining clear soup, he just needs to practice more.

As long as you want to do it, there is absolutely no problem.

Turning the car into Building No. [-], Lin Xu parked in the parking lot and saw that there were already several head chefs in the restaurant of Building No. [-]. It seemed that Yin Hongbin really didn't come for revenge just now.

He was wrong.

Walking into the restaurant of Building No. [-], Gu Junli brought Lin Xu a cup of tea, and then whispered:

"After Master Cheng was transferred, Master Zhao became the head chef of the back kitchen."

Master Zhao's name is Zhao Xuesheng. He is about thirty-eight or nine years old, two or three years younger than his brother and Cheng Jianshe. Although he is young, he has worked in Diaoyutai for more than [-] years and has rich cooking and management experience.

I have to say that although Building No. [-] is not the place with the highest turnover in Diaoyutai, it is full of talents.

Shu Yun, the former front desk manager, is the benchmark for the entire Diaoyutai front desk manager. His friendly smile has been praised by foreign heads of state.

And Cheng Jianshe, Xie Baomin's former deputy, has now provoked the management of the Yanjing Hotel's kitchen.

If you want to put it in another restaurant, such a loss of talents will definitely hurt the vitality of the back kitchen.

But Master Zhao immediately appeared in the No. [-] building, and the management of the entire back kitchen was still orderly.

Why does the senior brother dare to wander around? Isn't it because of good management.

While drinking hot tea, Qiu Zhentao and the others came over and said with a smile:

"Yesterday, Boss Lin gave Chef Qi a good idea. If he hadn't declared his own business, Mr. He probably wouldn't have scraped the bone to cure the poison... Hearing the news spread to the hospital, Meng Dexing cursed His brothers and sisters were ruthless, which made the hospital almost rescue him."

The grievances and grievances between their brothers and sisters, outsiders probably can't sort them out.

But it's okay to gossip.

Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Chef Qi's master was expelled from the sect, what about his status in the sect?"

Guo Weidong knew a lot about this matter, he took a piece of mille-feuille pastry made in Building No. [-], put it into his mouth, and said with a smile:

"I have become the eldest disciple of senior brother He Jiashun. In the future, Qi Zhentao will take care of their sect. He Jiashun's son also wanted to take Qi Siming as his apprentice and completely bind the Qi family, but Qi Siming refused. Now that child wants to find you." Senior apprentice apprenticeship, unfortunately your senior brother did not intend to accept apprentices."

In the senior brother's cognition, children, family members, apprentices and so on are all stumbling blocks for him to gallop in the rivers and lakes.

There is no way for children and family members to give up, but apprentices can not accept it at all.

To avoid being approached by the enemy again and again, and it is also not conducive to him wandering around.

Lin Xu felt that the senior brother was really not suitable for accepting apprentices, especially Qi Siming, because Qi Siming was best at pastry, and this was precisely where the senior brother was relatively weak.

In addition, Qi Siming is originally a rebellious character, and after being trained by his senior, he may grow into a crooked neck tree.

Relatively speaking, it is better to worship Qiu Zhenhua as a teacher.

In terms of the Diaoyutai white case, Qiu Zhenhua is relatively strong, and his elegant personality can just correct the rebellious part of Qi Siming's personality.

But whether it works or not depends on the opinions of both parties.

Apprenticeship is the same as getting married, you can't match people indiscriminately, and you can't match someone without any reason.

Just as he was talking, Xie Baomin and the new head chef Zhao Xuesheng came over from the back kitchen. Seeing so many people standing there, they said:

"It's so early, I seriously doubt that you guys want to drink our snacks and tea."

Guo Weidong said angrily:
"Come on, how many teas have you stolen from us over the years, and we drink our own tea... Are you ready? We are here to see you today, so we can't just eat snacks and drink tea outside .”

Song Dahai also echoed:
"That's right, it's been a few months, and it's somewhat inappropriate to only think about cashing in now, old Xie."

As the victim of Lin Xu's poaching incident last time, Qiu Zhenhua said slowly:
"Old Xie, you don't want to refuse now, do you?"

Xie Baomin saw that everyone was talking in a hurry, and a rascal expression appeared on his face:
"I just refused, what are you going to do to me? Who dares to beep again, I will go to your store this afternoon to take pictures, and then I will be very picky."

Yuan Debiao put his hands on his hips and said:
"It's not the attitude of your son coming to Diaoyutai last weekend. You should really record your face and show it to your son next time you see him."

Upon hearing this, Xie Baomin immediately changed into a smiling face:

"I'm just joking with you, look at you like this... walk around, go into the kitchen, today our No. [-] building is not fortified against you, you can see whatever you want, even if you are in your respective buildings. Hurry up."

The crowd was speechless.

Who doesn't know that the dishes in Building No. [-] have a confidentiality agreement, and many of them are under-the-box dishes used by Diaoyutai to entertain foreign guests.

Dog things are really setting mines everywhere, and you will be deceived if you are not careful.

Yesterday at the Yanjing Hotel, everyone looked like a family of brothers and sisters.

Today in Building No. [-], but it has returned to its usual state.

Xie Baomin said to Lin Xu:

"Come on, junior brother, it's time to start making clear soup. I'll teach you how to do it."

Everyone followed to the kitchen, and in the soup department, they saw a big soup pot in the center of the kitchen, half of which was filled with milky white soup.

Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Is this broth ready?"

Xie Baomin smiled:

"I haven't boiled it yet. The stock master made is to use the stock to boil beef bones, steaks, tendons, pork bones, pork chops, elbows, whole chickens, ducks, ham, scallops, golden hooks, mushrooms, and celery. , onions, carrots and other ingredients.”

Lin Xu frowned.

Using high soup to make high soup, isn’t the biggest difficulty of this meal from technology to cost?
Master is showing off skills for the sake of showing off skills?

Just as he was about to ask, Guo Weidong said with emotion:

"I've tried it many times in private. The soup made in this way is either sour or has a peculiar smell. It's not the fresh and fragrant taste I mentioned before... Lao Xie, can you tell me the ratio?"

Sure enough, someone secretly practiced in private.

And not just one person.

Because Lin Xu saw that Qiu Zhenhua also pricked up his ears, as if he wanted to listen to the good opinion.

Apparently, he had thought about this broth as well.

Xie Baomin said:
"As I said before, this is a soup made by my master by combining Chinese-style broth and Western-style broth. You can't take vegetables and beef in it for granted, you have to use Western cooking thinking."

Western culinary thinking?

Everyone present was a little puzzled, not knowing what this meant.

Xie Baomin didn't say much, and directly put all kinds of blanched broth ingredients into the pot. In addition to these large items, there were also dried scallops, dried abalone, and magnolia slices for extra freshness.

Looking at these ingredients, Lin Xu felt that the cost of this time was directly out of the tank.

Not to mention the cost of the ramen, the cost of the soup alone has reached five figures, plus the labor cost of making the noodles...

This bowl of noodles, in terms of cost, should be able to kill all noodles on the market in seconds.

If the reputation of the state banquet chef is added, the Michelin three-star restaurant can also be set off to show the cost performance.

Although he just ate fried dough sticks in Hu spicy soup, Lin Xu is really hungry for noodles at the moment.

I really want to know what it feels like to eat such a precious bowl of noodles.

Yin Hongbin asked curiously:

"When will I start meeting? It won't delay things, will it?"

Xie Baomin put all these ingredients in, turned on the fire, and when the broth in the pot boiled, he first skimmed off the foam, and then said:

"Wait, it will take a while, let's boil this thing for three hours before we talk about it."

Guo Weidong asked curiously:

"What about the vegetables? When do you put them out?"

"Wait a little longer, let the aroma of these ingredients be stewed first. In addition, the vegetables should not be stewed for too long, one hour is enough. If the time is long, the freshness of the vegetables will become sour and deteriorate. The sour and peculiar smell you mentioned, It must have been cooked for too long."

Everyone gathered around the stove and looked at it. The act of stewing the broth with broth was somewhat of a prodigal.

So everyone wants to take a closer look and see how good this soup can be.

Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Brother, don't you want to put some spices?"

"Don't let it go, just use the aroma of these ingredients, and the salty taste comes from the ham... Our master's noodles in clear soup are relatively simple and don't need seasoning."

Simple?
Everyone couldn't help being startled, and was speechless because of this word.

A bowl of noodles with such an explosive cost, you actually said it was simple?
Song Dahai said:
"Don't put it here to mislead us. The noodles do not need to be seasoned, but the salty ingredients such as ham, dried abalone, golden hook, and scallops in this soup must be calculated. It is not seasoned, which is better than ordinary meals. Seasoning is much more difficult, because you have to take into account the loss of the soup and the salt content of the ingredients...I always feel that you are not sincere enough to teach."

Xie Baomin smiled indifferently:
"I just said to show it again, and I didn't teach you. If you want to learn, learn from Lao Cheng and kneel down to toast a cup of tea...Lao Song, put down the knife! I tell you, if you go forward, it will be either a hospital or a prison. Do you want to reunite with Meng Dexing in the ward, or do you want to reunite with Meng Kai in the prison? Choose!"

When Song Dahai suddenly picked up the boning knife in Yin Hongbin's hand just now, everyone was shocked.

But after hearing Xie Baomin's words, Lao Song smiled helplessly:
"Can't you say something good if you are a bitch? Who the hell would like to stay with that father and son?"

Xie Baomin stood beside the tall Yuan Debiao and said:
"It's noisy, it's noisy, you bitch is going to attack me, old Yuan, there's a sturgeon in Building [-], how about we get it to cook in an iron pot later?"

"Okay, put more miso. Fish stewed in an iron pot will not taste good without miso."

After laughing, Xie Baomin said:

"All salty ingredients must be calculated, and before calculating, you have to taste the saltiness yourself, so that you can accurately grasp the saltiness."

In short, this is a very troublesome and cumbersome step, and people who do not have a certain level of cooking should not think about it.

Moreover, this is stewed soup with high soup, so the salt content of the first pot of high soup must be fully calculated, and then the amount of ingredients used for the second soup should be determined according to the saltiness of the high soup.

Lin Xu was stunned when he heard this.

Hey, who would have thought that cooking is closely related to mathematics.

Fortunately, we graduated from Central Finance and Economics.

Otherwise, it's really hard to calculate.

Xie Baomin briefly explained his calculation method. As for whether everyone can learn it, then he doesn't care. Today he is only in charge of the teacher and apprentice, and the other chefs are all incidental.

Xie Baomin is highly talented and has a more thorough and in-depth understanding of cooking.

Listening to his explanation, all the chefs became serious. Even Song Dahai, who had just frightened Lao Xie with a boning knife, was now holding a small notebook and memorizing the calculation skills seriously.

It looked funny, but no one laughed at him.

Everyone who is serious and motivated should be encouraged and supported, not ridiculed.

Although Song Dahai is not that strong compared to these chefs, he is still the top Chinese cooking master in the capital and even the whole country.

Lin Xu also listened carefully. He didn't take a pen and paper, so he had to open the note on his phone and write down the calculation points.

These are the experiences summed up by the seniors, which cannot be bought with money.

When the speech was about the same, everyone discussed for a while.

Xie Baomin said with his hands behind his back:
"Are you satisfied now? Take a kitchen knife and start chopping (sào) the minced meat for the soup with the back of the knife. This soup is more difficult to sweep. You will use minced beef, minced pork, and minced duck from beginning to end." , minced chicken and minced fish... don't let me see the next steps if you don't do it..."

Zhao Xuesheng had already prepared the meat beside him.

Beef and pork are tenderloins with less fascia, duck and chicken are breasts, and as for fish, there are several deep-sea cod.

When Song Dahai saw the fish, he immediately picked it up:
"Whoever joins me will have one fish per person, and we will see who makes fine fish paste."

Yin Hongbin got the beef tenderloin and discussed with Fan Ming and Yuan Debiao how to make minced meat.

As for pork tenderloin, duck breast, chicken breast, etc., they were all made in twos and threes.

Diaoyutai still has a strong learning atmosphere.

Lin Xu felt that if he took the postgraduate entrance examination, he would definitely be able to go ashore by studying with them.

Change to someone who has achieved success in another industry, study?Learn from Mao, isn't it good to be a famous person?

Why Meng Dexing's juniors have been bluffing and cheating since they were on CCTV, isn't it because it feels better to be hugged by others.

Diaoyutai will not have such a person, the only person who is qualified to be hugged by others, but at this time he is engaged in the business of criticizing his peers.

Originally, someone wanted to get on Lao Xie's line through their relationship to help their store with a wave of soft advertisements.

But when he found that Xie Baomin could pick out many small faults even in the food of Lin Kee Gourmet, these people immediately died down.

The more one's own person's mouth is more poisonous, who would dare to get close to it.

Just as Lin Xu was about to follow along with the kitchen knife, Xie Baomin suddenly patted him on the shoulder:

"Junior brother, let's go, let me tell you something."

Lin Xu put down the kitchen knife for some confusion, and then went upstairs.

When we arrived at the tea room upstairs, Xie Baomin entered the room and started to boil water, and by the way, he also took out a top-quality small green mandarin orange and put it in the tea cup, as if he was about to rinse it and make tea.

Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Brother, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, just don't let you be stupid and keep busy. Have you learned the calculation method I just mentioned? I can teach you if there is anything you don't understand."

Lin Xu was deeply moved by these words:

"It's almost there. I plan to go back and practice more. It's useless to ponder this kind of content. Practice more. Only when you practice well can you master it."

Now the water boiled, Xie Baomin gave a thumbs up and said:

"That's right. Master also said practice more and practice more. Only by practicing more can you truly master it."

The two brothers drank tea and chatted for more than an hour in the tea room upstairs.

Only when I had enough rest did I go downstairs.

All kinds of minced meat are ready at this moment.

Xie Baomin took a net bag and began to put celery, carrots, onions and other vegetables in it.

The amount is not random, but has a certain basis.

And the size of the ingredients is also particular.

The celery section is about five centimeters long, cut into strips where it is too wide, cut the carrot into thick slices, and cut the onion into four pieces.

When ready, he put the net bag into the stock pot.

Guo Weidong looked at it and said:

"It's stored in a net bag, it seems that it needs to be taken out in advance."

Xie Baomin nodded:

"Simmer for an hour and take it out so that the soup has the aroma of vegetables, but it should not be too rich. Too strong will overwhelm the aroma of the bone broth."

After these vegetables were stewed, Yin Hongbin also started making ramen with the noodles.

Fifteen buckle ramen noodles are relatively difficult, not only need high-quality high-gluten flour, but also best to mix a handful or two of gluten powder into it, so that the gluten will be stronger.

The so-called gluten is actually the ingredient of gluten.

After adding gluten, the gluten content will be more.

Just grab one or two handfuls of this thing, if there are more, the dough will not be able to get together.

Xie Baomin said:
"Under normal circumstances, when ramen is made with more than fifteen buckles, some gluten powder will be added, but no one will say it publicly, because this is the secret of the ramen masters, including Lao Yin, who seems to have thick eyebrows and big eyes. You have to ask him for sure. There is no such thing as gluten."

Yin Hongbin smiled helplessly:
"You have exposed all the business secrets of our master Bai Case. You can't tell them when you come out to explore the shop, otherwise they will beat you later, and I don't care."

"I definitely won't say it, even if I say it, netizens won't believe it. Last time I went to a Huaiyang restaurant, I said that the lion's head was not relaxed enough. It should be placed in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the meat vent its energy. Then netizens Just satirizing me in the barrage for not seeing the tip of my tongue, it didn't say that I need to relax."

This time it was Qiu Zhenhua's turn to complain:

"Why are you talking about everything? The biggest secret of being a lion head is to relax."

Dai Jianli on the side said:
"Honest people like me and Lao Xie, when facing netizens, they are really heartbroken. They say whatever they know. I didn't expect you to hide it."

Regarding the lion's head, Lin Xu also had a question when he looked at the tip of his tongue.

Why did the master in the show put the lion's head in the pot instead of putting it in the pot after saving the lion's head, and then put it in the pot with the plate.

I always thought it was for the purpose of taking pictures to have a sense of ceremony.

Now after listening to what the senior brother said, I realized that it has nothing to do with the sense of ritual. This is a key step that has been cut off.

He asked curiously:

"Remember that the lens on the tip of the tongue is ready and placed on the plate, is there any other steps in the middle?"

Guo Weidong said:
"You saw the cook put it on the plate, but what you didn't see was that he put it in the refrigerator for an hour to relax, and after an hour, he brought it out, and then put it in the pot to simmer... This is the lion It is an important step for the head to melt in the mouth, but the chefs are not allowed to make it public for the sake of confidentiality."

That's what happened.

Lin Xu was secretly dumbfounded when he heard that, he was cheated by the tongue-in-cheek crew for so many years.

No wonder my mother was so excited to follow the TV to make lion heads. It didn't taste as delicious as advertised. It turned out that the steps were not given.

Since ancient times, traditional industries have adhered to the principle of "rather be lost than spread".

I originally thought that in modern society, this habit would change.

Unexpectedly, it is still the case.

Chinese food is now being chased and blocked by Western food, foreign fast food, and various pre-made dishes. At this moment, the real skills are not taught. If this continues, Chinese food will sooner or later become like martial arts, and become a trick.

Then, Yin Hongbin reconciled the noodles, and Zhao Xuesheng brought half a pot of lard, which was supposed to be used for frying the noodles.

Everyone chatted happily, only Lin Xu was worried about the future of Chinese food.

It's a pity that he is very soft-spoken now, so he can only hold back the thoughts in his heart. When he has the conditions in the future, he has to find a way to contribute to Chinese food and let Chinese food continue to be passed down.

An hour passed quickly, and Xie Baomin took out the boiled vegetables.

Because it is not overcooked, the soup will not have the sour and strange taste of rotten vegetables.

But if you continue to cook, the taste will definitely come up.

After simmering for another hour, when the broth became thicker and thicker, Xie Baomin turned off the fire, took out all the boiled ingredients inside, wrapped gauze around the colander, and passed it several times in the pot.

When the temperature drops to [-] or [-] degrees, pour in the minced beef and start sweeping the soup.

After sweeping it four times in a row, the color of the broth is very light, almost only a little light brown.

Xie Baomin poured the minced fish into it and made the last sweeping soup.

At this time, Yin Hongbin had already started pulling noodles.

He buckled it one by one, and now he had to be faster, otherwise after thirteen buckles, the dough would be wiped out, and if he pulled again, it would all be broken.

After pulling fifteen buckles, although the whole has been pulled apart, there are already some disconnections in the middle.

A large chopping board has been laid on the workbench.

Yin Hongbin pressed one end of the ramen, and Lin Xu pulled the other end.

After the fifteenth button is fully pulled, the noodles look thinner than a hair.

Qiu Zhenhua took the noodle-cutting kitchen knife, raised and lowered the knife, and cut off the noodles every two feet or so. Then he picked up a section with the knife and lowered it into the lard pan next to it.

The lard is [-]% hot, and when the noodles are put in, fine bubbles appear.

Xie Baomin said:
"Pay attention to the ignition. Don't let the oil temperature exceed [-]%, otherwise the noodles will be fried and change color. Be sure to keep the noodles white, so as to meet the requirements."

Qiu Zhenhua wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"Several of us are still in a hurry. How did Chef Gao do it alone?"

Lin Xu also wanted to know the answer, maybe this is where Master is awesome.

At that time, he might just want to eat a bowl of noodles.

So I made such a bowl of "simple" noodles, so simple that even the middle-aged state banquet chefs need to cooperate to complete it.

However, Master is only focusing on eating noodles, so he doesn't pay attention to nutrition.

Wouldn't it be more perfect to lay another egg...

Lin Xu saw the leftover minced chicken, and suddenly slapped his forehead:
"That's right, you can add another one that lays eggs!"

Thinking of this, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to add a little trick to Master's bowl of noodles...
