"This crucian carp is delicious!"

Shi Wenqing picked up a piece of crispy grilled crucian carp. At first, he thought that it would be bad if it had too many spines, but he tasted it only to find that the fish bones had become crispy and rotten, making it easy to eat.

She ate several mouthfuls in a row, and the more she ate, the more delicious she felt.

Chen Yan thinks that fermented bean curd drunken shrimp is more delicious. The fermented bean curd perfectly sets off the deliciousness of the river shrimp.

Seeing her niece eating so happily, Han Shuzhen couldn't help reminding:

"Xiaoyan, you are pregnant, eat less drunk prawns, even clean freshwater prawns have parasites, eat more cooked food."

"Good aunt."

Old people prefer soft and delicious dishes such as shark's fin, roasted four treasures, and braised lion's head, but young people prefer dishes such as fried chicken, dry-roasted prawns, and crisp-roasted crucian carp.

Shen Jiayue ate it with a piece of chicken, feeling delicious and satisfying, especially the use of spicy soy sauce, which made the whole dish full of Shanghai style, with a feeling of combining Chinese and Western.

Lin Xu is still thinking about what kind of dishes Master will cook.

Those old people who have been teased will definitely make things difficult and put high demands on the dishes. Now it depends on how the master responds. I am looking forward to this kind of scene, because I can learn a lot of knowledge every time.

Although Shen Guofu also liked the dishes on the table, what attracted him more was the fine wine that had just been poured into the glass. He picked it up, took a sip, and said with a sigh:

"If you want to say soft, it has to be old Fenjiu. It tastes comfortable. No wonder Fenjiu was used in the first banquet of the founding of the country..."

Everyone is not going to work today, so Han Jitong took a sip of old Fenjiu with a wine glass, picked up a piece of duck meat and put it into his mouth:

"The duck meat is really soft and rotten, delicious."

Lin Xu said:

"If you like to eat, I will often cook it tomorrow. I will teach my aunt at home and let her learn it. It is not difficult to make. It happens that duck meat does not get angry, and it is good for the health of the elderly."

"Then thank you Xiaoxu, Yueyue is really lucky to marry you."

After experiencing a poor son-in-law's counterattack to become a rich man, Han Jitong's concept of being a good match has faded a lot, and Lin Xu's start is much stronger than that of Shen Guofu back then.

Shen Guofu only had a high school degree, while Lin Xu graduated from the No.1 school in finance and economics.

In addition, Lao Shen didn't have much money to set up a street stall back then, but Lin Xu directly opened a restaurant. Although the facade is not big, the business is booming, and there are scenic spots at home. The only disadvantage may be the household registration.

Now the only shortcoming has been settled with the help of Uncle Gao. Not only has he settled in the capital, but he also lives in a multi-storey building with tens of millions, and a company with assets worth hundreds of millions.

It's only been a year since graduation, but their achievements are better than those of those who have graduated for ten years.

Regardless of the standards of any era, to be able to start from nothing to this point is considered a dragon and phoenix among the people, and his granddaughter married him, even a little high.

Chen Yan looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"There's only a celebration banquet left in the afternoon, and there's nothing else to do. You don't need to go so early, do you?"

She wanted to hang out with Shen Jiayue after dinner, the celebration banquet and the finale banquet were just, and it wasn't an urgent task, so it should be okay to go late.

Lin Xu said:

"The brother just sent a message saying that when the master arrived at the Yanjing Restaurant, he was surrounded by a group of master chefs and punished him to cook a dish. I don't know what the specifics are. I have to go there after I finish eating. This kind of excitement can't be missed, said Maybe you can learn something new.”

After hearing this, Chen Yan didn't plan to go shopping anymore.

I plan to join in the fun after dinner.

After all, the No. 1 in the world that can create white jade lotus root, clear water lotus root, and clear soup vermicelli is definitely not easy to be forced by the old buddy. I will also try it when the time comes, so that the baby in the stomach will come first before it is born. A prenatal education of top Chinese cooking.

Shen Guofu originally wanted to go too, but after thinking about it, it's not appropriate for his whole family to join in the fun. If it's really delicious, he can just ask his son-in-law to make it later. Anyway, if Chef Gao knows it, his son-in-law can do it too.

Thinking of this, he held his wine glass and continued to toast with Shen Jiayue's uncles, father-in-law Han Jitong, and eldest brother-in-law Han Shuyu.

While the adults were eating, Dundun was mooing to Luo Yulin on the sofa next to him.

To prevent the little girl from falling, the sofa has been surrounded by a soft fence bought online. With Luo Yulin's current physical strength, it is impossible to climb out.

Shen Jiayue took a bite of a dried braised prawn, the shell was crispy and delicious.

She noticed that Dundun was playing, and asked curiously:
"Has Dundun eaten yet?"

Han Shuzhen took a sip of the red wine:

"I've eaten it. I steamed a starfish for it at eleven o'clock. It was so exciting that I couldn't even eat enough. Your dad is going to build a seawater aquarium at home, and raise more seafood later, so that Dundun can eat it anytime. You can eat, very convenient."

Now that the son has eaten, let's continue playing. Shen Jiayue didn't pay much attention, and continued to eat and drink with juice.

After a meal, everyone in the family was a little full. Everyone came to the living room, poured a cup of tea, and continued to chat. Dundun jumped into the arms of Mrs. Han obediently, listening to the adults like a good baby .

Lin Xu didn't stay long, he checked the time and was about to go back.

Shen Jiayue, Chen Yan, and Luo Jiayao also wanted to learn more, so they also got into the car and followed.

When we arrived at the Yanjing Hotel, the lunch here was not over yet. Today's meals were much prepared and the portions were large, so the staff and chefs also ate the first feast of the founding of the country.

Cheng Jianshe also specially delivered some roast goose and other dishes from the back kitchen, which made everyone very happy.

Uncle Gao was sitting at the dining table at this time, eating the dishes on the table slowly.

Qiu Yaozu ate a mouthful of drunken shrimp with fermented bean curd, and asked him:

"Old Gao, what are you going to do later? Anyway, our request is very simple. It is not seen in the market, but also down-to-earth, and it has to go beyond the general state banquet. This kind of dish is not difficult for you, right?"

How can you be down-to-earth if you can’t see it on the market?Down-to-earth dishes are generally in two directions with state banquets... Lin Xu couldn't help popping out a lyrics in his mind when he heard this request:
"May I be like smoke, and wish that I am graceful and lazy. If you want me to be crazy, you also want me to be funny and dignified. If you want me to be beautiful, you want me to kill people without blinking an eye. May I be happy from now on, and may I wither forever..."

Qiu Bo's request is simply too difficult for someone to force.

Just as he wanted Qiu Yaozu to change his request, Uncle Gao caught a glimpse of his apprentice coming and said with a smile:

"I was in a bad mood because of you old bastards, but when I saw my little apprentice, I felt better... Well, I'll let you old guys who don't know much to open your eyes and do a transcendence State banquets are also very down-to-earth dishes, and I guarantee that they are not available on the market."

Lin Xu swallowed back the words that had come to his lips. Since the master is so relaxed, he probably has a plan in mind, so let's just wait and see the excitement.

Soon, everyone was full.

Several other elderly people also gathered around, wondering what to do next:
"Old Gao, what dish are you going to cook?"

"Don't fool us later, after all, everyone has been tricked by you."

"Should I say it or not, Lao Qiu's request is really impressive. Anyway, I can't think of any dish that can meet these three requirements at the same time."

"Just now I was thinking about it for a long time. There are dishes that meet any two requirements, but if there are three requirements, I guess I have to find them in ancient books."

"The dishes in the ancient books, do they have something to do with the atmosphere of the earth?"

"That's right, don't be happy, Lao Gao, what kind of food are you cooking?"

At this moment, not only the old fellows surrounded, but also the chefs nearby were curious, wanting to know what kind of dishes the general chairman of the Chinese Cuisine Association would cook.

Uncle Gao didn't hide anything:
"You guys have such imagination... No wonder Chinese food will decline, don't guess, I plan to make pearl jade white jade soup, the name should be familiar to you, is it grounded enough?"

Pearl Jade White Jade Soup?
Isn't this the leftovers that Zhu Yuanzhang once ate?

The rotten leftover rice is pearls, the stinky tofu is white jade, and the rotten spinach is emerald. To put it bluntly, it is a soup dish made by the poor to ridicule themselves. Now it usually refers to cabbage tofu ball soup.

Everyone was happy when they heard the name, He Guangchang frowned and said:
"The down-to-earth is enough down-to-earth, there are some on the market, and can it surpass the state banquet?"

Qiu Yaozu patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Although this is a bad meal, it is a life-saving meal eaten by the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all. Regardless of seniority or status, it can surpass ordinary state banquets in the culinary circle. Are you showing off your skills?"

Uncle Gao smiled lightly:
"You have already set up the ladder, I can't justify it without showing my hands... I said it when I first entered Diaoyutai, Lao Qiu is a real person, and he always acts as a stepping stone for others. I stepped on it."

Qiu Yaozu: "..."

Ma Dan, I originally thought that this request would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be right in my arms. How much skill does this old Gao have in his belly!

He grinned his teeth in regret, but at this point, he could only knock down his teeth and swallow in his stomach:

"Hurry up and do yours, let's say yes first, you can't make a pot of slop."

Uncle Gao said with a smile:

"Don't worry, even if you want to eat swill today, you won't be able to eat it."

Lin Xu asked:

"Master, what do you need? I'll prepare right now."

"Two large mandarin fishes, a few pieces of chicken breast, a piece of tofu, more than ten eggs, ten salted egg yolks, a pack of cornstarch, a pot of broth, a bundle of spinach...that's about all."

Guo Jichang thought for a moment and asked curiously:

"Are you using mandarin fish for pearls, tofu for white jade, and spinach for emerald?"

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang praised the pearl, jade and white jade soup, this dish has been made by many people, both high-end and low-end, but no matter how it is cooked, the three elements of pearl, white jade and jade are indispensable.

For example, some people use pigeon eggs to make pearls, hibiscus chicken slices to make white jade, green leafy vegetables to make jade, and then add clear soup to make a home-cooked dish into a high-end dish.

However, by doing so, Uncle Gao cannot satisfy the condition that it is not seen in the market.

Everyone became curious, wanting to know what kind of pearl, emerald and white jade soup the Prime Minister would create.

Soon, the ingredients were ready, and Uncle Gao asked:
"I asked our two apprentices to do some physical work, isn't it a violation?"

Qiu Yaozu rolled his sleeves and said:

"Let the young people rest for a while. Tell me what you want to do, Lao Gao. I will help you today. We are the number one in kitchen knives in Huaiyang. Is it okay to help you?"

"It's barely enough...Here, scrape these two fish into minced fish."

Qiu Yaozu didn't refuse either, picked up two mandarin fishes and got to work.

Guo Jichang also followed suit:

"Is this chicken breast going to be smashed into chicken meat? I'll do it."

The Big Three of Diaoyutai's elder generation started cooking a dish at the same time. Chen Yan excitedly raised her camera to record the dish, but was stopped by Uncle Gao:
"Don't take pictures of Yan girl. This is a dish that has not been unsealed in Building No. [-]. In principle, it cannot be made public, at least I can't make it public. After all, it is my signature. Let Xiaoxu do it when you are not busy. He wants to see it." If you can learn it once, it’s teaching today.”

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that Building No. [-] had already made this dish.

"Old Gao, why don't we have any impression of this dish?"

Dai Yuefeng thought hard, but he never thought that there would be similar dishes.

Uncle Gao said:
"This was made when I was young. The elders of your families know that the inspiration for the dishes came from a program introducing the cultural relics of the Forbidden City at that time. I have nothing to do to think about it. It is done. It is not difficult and the taste is also That's why I didn't do anything."

Is it related to the cultural relics in the Forbidden City?
Lin Xu thought carefully about the impressive cultural relics. The cultural relics related to jadeite and white jade should be good. He thought about it, and suddenly emerald cabbage popped up in his mind... Eh?Could it be this cultural relic?

Emerald cabbage is a treasure in the Forbidden City. A piece of raw jade combined with jade and white jade is used to carve a cabbage plant. The white jade is the vegetable side, and the jadeite is the vegetable leaves. It is very beautiful. This treasure has also become an important collection in the Forbidden City of Baodao.

If it is this dish, is the master planning to make a jadeite cabbage?

Thinking of this, Lin Xu was suddenly full of anticipation. Although he didn't know how to make jade cabbage, since Master could make it, it must be very awesome.

With Qiu Yaozu and Guo Jichang at his side, Uncle Gao is much more relaxed.

He first sprayed the salted egg yolk with white wine and steamed it into the pot, then picked up two chicken breasts, cut them into small pieces with a kitchen knife, put them into the cooking machine, added scallion and ginger water, and made a paste.

After seeing this step, everyone understood that the paste is for cleaning the soup.

After the chicken paste is ready, filter the broth and pour it back into the pot, and start sweeping the soup. When the thick white broth turns into a light brown clear water soup, the minced fish and minced chicken are also ready.

Uncle Gao continued to order:

"Season with salt and pepper, beat first to get glue, then add egg white later to increase stickiness."

While the two seniors were helping the kitchen, Uncle Gao took the washed spinach, squeezed it into spinach juice with a juicer, added two egg whites to it, stirred it, and placed it in front of Qiu Yaozu:
"Add these after gelling, and add some starch to make a thicker meat paste."

When he got here, Qiu Yaozu also reacted:
"It seems that you are planning to make emerald cabbage, but this thing is so soft, won't the shape of it collapse? Do you need to add starch?"

Uncle Gao said with a smile:

"You'll know when it's done. Let your imagination run wild. Don't dare to think about it."

Although this was talking about Qiu Yaozu, it was also for all the chefs present. Since cooking is an art, let's use our imagination as much as possible.

Cooking has no boundaries as long as the imagination is enough.

After Guo Jichang glued the chicken breast, he also added egg white and cornstarch to make a softer meat paste, which looked like a sticky batter.

But this thing tastes better than the batter. After all, it is made of meat and egg whites, so it is not so bad at all.

After all the green and white meat pastes were ready, Qiu Yaozu asked curiously:

"How do you shape it? Steam it?"

Uncle Gao nodded:

"Yes, steam it before styling."

He took a basin, spread a layer of lard inside, poured the white meat paste into it, and tapped the edge of the basin with a spoon to shake out the air inside.

Then slowly pour some green meat paste into it. After the surface is covered with a layer, gently stir it with chopsticks to make the surface of the basin show a gradient layer, then continue to pour the green meat paste inside, and continue to tap the edge of the basin after pouring. Let the air out.

After finishing this, open the door of the steaming cabinet and put the pot in for steaming.

Qiu Yaozu opened his mouth:
"I understand the truth, but it turns out to be a big disc after steaming, and it doesn't look like jade cabbage...Old Gao, do you want to make jade cabbage?"

Uncle Gao put the tofu on the chopping board, pressed the tofu into mud with a kitchen knife and said:
"You will see later that some things can be made with a little modification... In addition, the kind you mentioned can be molded, and it is easy to make cabbage shapes, but this does not meet the standards of modern state banquets. , so I'm useless."

Modern state dinner?

Everyone originally wanted to see the shape of a Chinese cabbage in a pot, but what does it mean that it does not meet the modern state banquet standards?
Qi Siming, who was silently eating melons from the outside, reacted quickly:
"Modern state banquets are divided into meals, and all dishes are served for one person. Chinese cabbage is definitely not edible... I see, Master Gao is going to make small cabbages in bowls one by one, right?"

Uncle Gao gave a thumbs up:
"This kid is very clever. Remember to visit my house when you are not busy in the future. I will teach you some tips that suit you."

When Qiu Zhenhua and Qi Zhentao heard this, their faces were full of surprises, and they said to Qi Siming in unison:

"Hurry up and thank Master!"

Qi Siming also knew what Uncle Gao's advice meant, so he quickly thanked him.

"There's nothing to be thankful for. Craftsmanship has to be passed on. As long as you want to learn, I will treat you equally."

Uncle Gao put the rolled tofu into the white cloth, squeezed the water in the tofu, then poured it back into the basin, added seasonings and egg whites, and stirred it into a paste.

Filter it with a colander, grind the unground tofu again, add cornstarch, and knead it into a soft dough.

Now the salted duck egg yolk has been steamed, Lin Xu brought it out and asked:
"Master, what to do with these salted egg yolks?"

"Grind it, mix it with an egg yolk, and knead it into a peanut-sized ball. This will be used as a stuffing later..."

Shen Jiayue licked her lips, if she guessed right, this is made of pearls, right?

Yipin tofu is used as skin and egg yolk as filling. I really want to taste it...
