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

"Damn, I didn't expect the roast duck to be so particular."

There are more and more netizens in the live broadcast room. Many people think that a roast duck worth a few hundred yuan is essentially the same as a street roast duck worth ten or twenty yuan, but after watching the live broadcast, they realize that the method is completely different.

The roast ducks on the street are basically in a rotating electric oven. If anyone wants one, he will take out one, cut it into large pieces, pack it up and leave.

The roast duck made by Lin Xu and Ning Xiaoli not only requires manual operation, but the two also introduced the previous preparations. Basically, they have to clean up the duck the day before.

The packed ducks are hung with maltose water, and then placed in a drying room to dry overnight until the skin of the ducks becomes tight and has no moisture. In the next morning, another layer of water is applied.

Then pour soup, bake, and keep turning while baking.

After such a complete process, I suddenly felt that two or three hundred roast ducks did not seem so expensive.

"I just want to know when Lin Kee's roast duck will be available!"

"Yes, yes, tell me a new date, Boss Lin, we are all waiting to eat."

"Lin Kee has roast duck, and the pressure is on those traditional old restaurants."

"Anyway, when we eat roast duck in the future, we will only recognize Lin Kee."

"+1, we don't care about the history of roast duck, how many celebrities have eaten it, how many group photos are hung in the lobby, we just want to eat delicious roast duck, not to hear stories."

"It is expected to be very popular. After all, there are more and more roast ducks in Beijing that tell stories, but there are fewer ones that tell stories."

"..."

On the booth not far away, Shi Wenqing looked at the bullet screen on the phone, and then at the roast duck being roasted not far away, his eyes were full of anticipation.

I haven't eaten roast duck in a few months, and I was already hungry enough, but watching the live broadcast content made me even more hungry.

Dundun on the side was lying on the deck at this time, and got together with the little girl who was also lying on the deck, playing happily with one person and one cat.

This scene was seen by Chen Yan who had just rushed to the store, and couldn't help muttering:
"This stinky guy is gentle to the elderly and loving to the children, but he can bully the adults in the middle."

Chen Yuanyuan was sitting on the side eating pumpkin seeds at the moment, when she saw Chen Yan approaching, she hurriedly said:
"Sister Yan, Sister Wenqing is here, you can ask her for advice if you have any doubts during pregnancy."

Chen Yan walked over, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said:
"I don't have anything to ask about pregnancy. I've done all the investigations. The only thing I don't understand now is how to prevent hair loss during pregnancy. I feel like my hair is falling out recently."

Shi Wenqing poured her a cup of tea with a teapot:
"Are you anxious? Don't think too much about it. You should eat and drink. If you can't, go out and have a look. Travel or something, don't stay here all the time."

Chen Yan also knew this, but she just couldn't help thinking about it.

As a novice mother, I always feel that I have not prepared enough for my children, and there are still some shortcomings.

"Hey, these melon seeds are pretty good, Yuanyuan, did you buy them?"

"No, I made it myself in the store."

Since there is pumpkin soup in the store, the amount of pumpkin used is quite large.

In the past, the pumpkin seeds were dug up and thrown away. A few days ago, Ma Zhiqiang and the others had nothing to do. They washed the dug out pumpkin seeds, boiled them in salt water, and then dried them in a pot according to the way of making melon seeds.

The pumpkin seeds made are very tasty and easy to eat, and now they have become everyone's favorite fruit plate.

Chen Yan pouted in the direction of the oven, and asked curiously:
"How long will it take?"

"I don't know. It has already been colored after watching the live broadcast. I guess it won't take long for it to be baked."

In front of the roasting oven, Ning Xiaoli waved the long pole, put the roast duck close to the flame farther away, and put the roast duck far away back above the flame.

At this time, the duck skin has already shown a golden red color. As long as it is roasted for a while, the outer skin will turn into a bright and attractive maroon color.

He glanced at Lin Xu's side, his movements were also skillful and rich, and the whole process was very smooth, which made people feel very comfortable.

Lost, totally lost.

Although the roast duck hasn't been cooked yet, Ning Xiaoli, as an expert, can tell from his smooth movements that Lin Xu's skills in making roast duck are better than his own.

There is a high probability that it will be at the same level as the third uncle or my grandfather.

No wonder I'm so confident, no wonder I want to cook it together in the oven.

Such a master can indeed perform two roles, and can cook both kinds of roast ducks.

At this time, Ning Xiaoli felt that he was a bit careless in the past. Wei Gan was right, Lin Xu was fully confident in serving new dishes.

Talent is indeed more important than hard work.

Thinking about how I practiced roast duck since I was a child, but in the end I was not as good as a college graduate who became a monk halfway through.

But he wasn't jealous of Lin Xu, on the contrary, he was a little grateful, because Lin Xu let him see how his culinary skills are getting closer, which should be his goal.

When Grandpa was surpassed by Chef Gao, he probably had similar thoughts.

That's why he always regards Chef Gao as his true friend.

Ning Xiaoli had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but this was not the time for emotion, he shook his head to drive away the chaotic thoughts, and concentrated on roasting the duck.

Grandpa said since he was a child that roast duck is the most taboo distraction.

Because once the mind is distracted, the coloring of the duck will be affected, and the color of the roasted duck will be uneven, and the customer has the right to return or exchange it.

In addition to the color, the taste of duck skin is also different.

Ordinary diners may not be able to taste it, but experts can still taste it.

At this moment, the camera is on the side and rear between the two, not only can you see the movements of the hands of the two, but also the duck hanging in the hearth.

After flipping the duck, Lin Xu turned his face to the camera and said:

"Roasting a duck is really hard work. I heard that the only person that the master Baian dared not mess with in the past was the roast duck master, because this two-meter-long wooden pole is more fun to play with than a rolling pin."

In the live broadcast room, netizens were amused by his words:
"Aren't you afraid of offending Master Bai'an by saying this? Oh, Boss Lin himself is Master Bai'an, so it's fine."

"Who would have thought that Boss Lin could also make a good case and a good case."

"It feels like the duck is getting better soon!"

"Brothers, I have a strange disease. The doctor said that I have to eat a freshly baked roast duck every day, otherwise my mouth will be crooked and my eyes will be drooling. Can you help me?"

"I can cure your disease upstairs, just find a piece of dried sheep dung and chew it and eat it, Trane."

"Dude, if you don't understand, don't suggest it blindly. How did I hear it's a donkey dung?"

"The case has been solved. It's dried yak dung. It's dried as tea cakes and soaked in water. It's been used for a month. Guess what, the disease is completely cured, and the root is removed!"

"..."

Not long after, Ning Xiaoli picked up a ruddy roast duck, put the duck's legs close to the burning firewood, burned it for about half a minute, took it out of the oven, and the duck was officially ready.

At the same time, Lin Xu also picked out the duck.

The two carried the duck and put it on top of the empty pots they had prepared, pulled out the sorghum stalks stuck in the duck's buttocks, and the soup inside quickly flowed out.

Seeing this step, the hands of countless netizens twitched, and they always felt that their hands were burned.

"This step is more dangerous. If you want to do it at home, you must pay attention to safety... After the soup is finished, it is time to change the knife, but here I want to remind everyone."

Lin Xu held the roasted ruddy and plump duck, facing the camera and said:

"Hanging oven roast duck pays attention to the fullness of the duck breast, which will not collapse or crack, and will not turn black. If someone encounters a collapsed duck breast while eating roast duck, they can ask for a replacement or a refund, because this means that the duck is left over. ...If this happens in Lin Kee, the bill will be waived, and everyone can take photos and video surveillance when eating ducks later.”

The reason why he reminded him this way was to prevent netizens from being deceived, and to advertise his own roast duck secretly.

And after such a reminder, everyone will take the initiative to take pictures when they come to eat roast duck in the future, and the photos and videos taken will naturally be shared.

This is virtually a kind of publicity for Lin Kee Roast Duck.

But what he didn't expect was that after such a reminder, some netizens immediately said:

"I ate it several times in Quanjude and it collapsed, and the color turned black. It seems that I was cheated."

"Don't go to that kind of roast duck restaurant where tourists eat group meals. Not only is it expensive, but the quality is also poor. For roast duck, I recommend restaurants like Dadong Siji Minfu Cheap Square."

"I have also eaten roast duck with a collapsed duck breast. Now that I think about it, the taste is really average."

"From now on, I will lock Lin Ji, as a duck, I only trust Boss Lin."

"Upstairs you said the best roast duck!"

Lin Xu came to a long table with the roast duck. There was a large tray on it, and there were two plates on the side of the tray.

He put on disposable gloves and prepared a piece of roast duck.

"Don't think that slicing a duck is easy. In fact, the surface of the duck is at least 100 degrees Celsius, and the temperature is very hot. It is very difficult to slice a duck."

After Lin Xu finished speaking, he picked up a long narrow kitchen knife and began to slice the duck.

A good roast duck chef can not only roast the duck well, but the whole process of connecting the duck is also quite artistic.

Ning Yiheng next to him looked at Lin Xu's way of making ducks, and then at his nephew's way of making ducks, and couldn't help but say:

"A complete failure...Brother Lin's skill is absolutely amazing."

Xie Baomin patted him on the shoulder:

"Don't say that. Although there is a gap between the two, it's not that big. In terms of scores, although my junior brother can score 98 or 99, Xiaoli's score is at least 92 or higher."

In terms of cooking skills, both Ning Xiaoli and Lin Xu are excellent, and the roast duck they cook can be counted in the whole capital, which is higher than what is usually sold in various shops.

Compared with the same level, every point is very important.

Especially today, Lin Xu still uses a stewing oven that is not suitable for hanging ovens. It can reach such a level, which shows how advanced his craftsmanship is.

Guo Weidong commented sharply:

"With Lin Xu's skill, he can be the executive chef of any roast duck restaurant. Xinghai should come and see it. It's really wonderful."

Chefs pay attention to specialization.

But for some chefs, one can no longer display their full talents, so they should learn as much as possible, and learn from everyone's strengths, so that they can truly become culinary masters.

Soon, the two ducks were sliced.

The duck racks are placed on trays and the duck meat is served on plates.

Lin Xu brought the duck meat to the table next to him, put the prepared duck cakes, sweet noodle sauce and other ingredients on the table, and took off his gloves.

At this moment, Ning Xiaoli had already sliced ​​the duck, and also brought the roast duck to the dining table.

"Master, you come to comment and comment."

Xie Baomin accompanied Uncle Gao to the camera, and the bullet screen immediately began to show the bullet screen of Gao Xiaoshuai, your vest has fallen off. The teacher's wife Luo Shan also cooperated with a wave of rewards, making the atmosphere in the live broadcast room more enthusiastic .

Uncle Gao sat down at the dining table, and said to Xie Baomin who was standing beside him and Ning Yiheng who was not far away:
"Tasting roast duck is very particular. For the first bite, you can't dip it in the sauce. You have to eat it first. During the roast duck production process, you can't put seasoning, so the duck meat at this moment should have a strong fragrance, but there will be no flavor. If there is a peculiar smell, it means that the quality of the duck is average."

He picked up a piece of duck meat, tasted it, nodded and said:
"This duck meat is of good quality."

He tasted what Ning Xiaoli made again, and praised:
"Xiaoli's vegetable juice is used very well. It adds a faint fruit and vegetable aroma to the duck meat. It is very subtle, but it adds a bit of aftertaste to the duck meat. It's great. You have to have this spirit of exploration."

No matter when, children who work hard are worthy of praise and affirmation.

As for those who are bewildered or not, who is not a chef?
In order to make the smoked fish well, didn't I just make the big apprentice vomit?
Ning Yiheng knew that Uncle Gao had a poisonous mouth, so when he was waiting for the roast duck, he made up a whole lot of words, wanting to stand up and smooth things over when his nephew was criticized.

But unexpectedly, there was not a single word of the expected criticism, but a burst of exaggeration instead.

This warmed Ning Yiheng's heart, and Ning Xiaoli was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Uncle Gao had such a good temper, which was completely different from the rumored old urchin with a poisonous tongue.

Rumors really kill people!

After finishing talking about the duck meat, Uncle Gao picked up a piece of duck skin, folded it in half, held it in his hand, squeezed it lightly, and then said:

"If the duck skin of a roast duck is to be delicious, there should not be too much fat. If it is squeezed, it will be full of oil, which means that the drying time is too short, and the oven temperature is not enough to roast the oil in the duck skin. , the taste is not crisp."

Naturally, today's duck can't squeeze out any fat. After all, it is a duck that has been dried overnight, and the oven temperature has been maintained at around 230 degrees during roasting.

The drying time is enough, the oven temperature is enough, and the duck is naturally delicious.

In the live broadcast room, netizens saw the action of pinching the duck skin, and their saliva flowed all over the place:
"Master Gao, can you throw it in my mouth?"

"Ah, ah, I can show off these two ducks in one go!"

"When the duck skin was pinched, I didn't see any fat, but I heard a crispy sound."

"Damn, this is better than all the roast ducks I've ever eaten. Hurry up and get a new one. I'll be queuing at the door in the middle of the night."

When everyone was discussing, Uncle Gao took the pancakes, dipped them in sweet noodle sauce, rolled two slices of duck meat and shallots, and ate them happily, affirming the craftsmanship of the two:
"That's right, most of the roast ducks in the capital can't compare to these... Don't be dazed, try it while it's hot, is this really a food competition?"

Obviously, Uncle Gao didn't want to score, he just wanted to end like this.

But Ning Xiaoli didn't let go of this learning opportunity, he took the initiative to ask:
"Grandpa Gao, what needs to be improved on my roast duck? Don't praise me. My grandpa said that you were a good friend when you didn't hold back in the competition. Now don't hold back, just say it."

Uncle Gao was a little surprised. Most people would only be flattered when they heard a compliment, but this kid actually asked to point out his shortcomings. It's really rare.

He tasted the roast duck made by Ning Xiaoli, and asked the question:

"When you are roasting, you adjust too frequently, causing the duck to be replaced before it is fully roasted. You should be bolder, so that the duck will be roasted more thoroughly...Although the vegetable juice is easy to use, you must pay attention to the amount. , if you can add a third or a quarter of spiced water to it, the effect will be even better..."

It is not a big problem to say one by one, but if it is changed, it can improve the roast duck from 92 points to 93, 94, or even 95...

Ning Xiaoli listened carefully, and even opened the phone memo to write down the things she didn't understand.

Xie Baomin touched Ning Yiheng with his shoulder:

"Your nephew's future achievements should be higher than yours. His energy is really rare now."

"Isn't it normal for blue to be better than blue?"

After Ning Yiheng finished speaking, he took the duck cake and tasted the roast duck made by Lin Xu, and then the roast duck made by Ning Xiaoli, his face was full of admiration:
"Thanks to the small number of people in your division, there will be 80 people here, and the entire Chinese food system will be completely reformed."

In fact, Diaoyutai has quite a few talented young people, but most of them are short-lived, either squandering their talents, or being poor-hearted and unable to display their talents.

Only Lin Xu, whose talent seems to have no limits, and whose mentality is always peaceful, seems to be born to prepare for becoming a great master.

Xie Baomin said modestly:

"Our master is not as powerful as you said, it's just that we know a thing or two about cooking."

The roasted ducks in the oven can't be left for too long, they have to be roasted one by one, otherwise they will be mushy.

Lin Xu picked up the roast duck rod, and was just about to pick up the duck in the oven to continue roasting, when Ning Xiaoli said to him:

"I've decided to stay. It doesn't matter what the chef is. I only have one request. Don't be too busy. You want to learn how to roast duck with me."

Finally got it... Lin Xu heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"As long as you want to learn from each other, you can do it at any time...Give you a week, can you set up the entire roast duck department?"

The roast duck department has a double configuration, two head chefs, four to six roast duck masters, some help cooks, and several duck knife masters.

Ning Xiaoli said:
"No problem, just take advantage of this week to give the staff a preliminary training."

Both of them didn't like those vain politeness, since they stayed, they went straight to the topic and started chatting about the roast duck.

Their voices were heard in the live broadcast room, and countless netizens were heartbroken:
"What? I have to wait a week?"

"How do you let me live this week, hello!"

"Instant noodles can only be eaten in 3 minutes, but you made me wait for a week!"

"Start eating simple meals today, save the meal money for the next week and go to Lin Kee to eat roast duck."

"Don't be impulsive, maybe you can't afford Lin Kee's roast duck for a week's meal."

Netizens complained or teased in the barrage that Lin Xu and Ning Xiaoli had already started roasting their second roast duck.

Ye Lixin, who was inconvenient to appear on camera, tasted the roast duck, and the taste was really worth mentioning.

No wonder even Chef Gao is unwilling to give a rating. Serving two servings of roast duck casually can kill most roast ducks on the market in seconds. In this case, it is naturally not suitable to distinguish between superior and inferior.

Besides, this is a discussion among family members, not a fight for fame and fortune, so there is no need to take it too seriously.

Soon, roast ducks were cooked one by one. Ning Yiheng, Xie Baomin, Guo Weidong, Dai Jianli and others all performed beautiful duck-slicing kung fu, showing their superb knife skills to the fullest.

All the roast ducks in the hearth were roasted. Lin Xu vacated the braised oven, burned it with fruit wood for a while, put the ducks in one by one, and made eight roasted ducks in the braised oven.

While he was busy with these tasks, Cai Sen kept taking pictures of the finished duck, and occasionally called out the pictures so that Chen Yuanyuan could help him to see how the pictures were going.

On the other side, as soon as the shooting at Yanjing Hotel ended in the morning, everyone hurriedly boarded the car and headed straight to Yingchun Street on the North Fourth Ring Road, intending to try the delicious Lin Kee Roast Duck...

When Zeng Xiaoqi went out, she deliberately dragged Qi Siming into the car.

Go to Linji to eat and drink. Of course, you have to bring your boyfriend to eat and drink. By the way, tell the three single dogs Shu Baobao, Xiaodoudou and Yuanyuan with practical actions:

"It's easy to find a boyfriend, and you can get out of the order if you're not careful!"
