Gourmet food starts from the green leather train chef

Chapter 252 Xiao Zhou's Kitchen Knife
Good guy, do you really dare to say it?
With the pride of Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan, he shuddered after hearing this.

My heart said Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, what's the matter with you?After all, this person in front of you is also a dignified Master of Diligence, so it's fine if you deny him in public, but why do you speak so harshly?

It's good that young people are full of geniuses, but we must also pay attention to their emotional intelligence.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Zhou said these words, the back kitchen suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was as cold as ice.

Except for the old man Zhang Zhouxuan, everyone looked at Zhou Zhou with a look of shock, hatred, and even hatred.

It's not that they don't know the name of the master Zhou Zhou, and it's normal for people in the industry to criticize each other and say a few bad words, but it's too arrogant for Zhou Zhou to slap a master in the face in public.

What's more, this master is still their teacher and their idol!
Sun Desheng laughed back angrily: "Well, well, that's really good!
Zhouzhou, so to speak, you have seen through the true meaning of this "climbing the cloud duck"?
Hurry up, tell me the old man, and let me, an old man, learn a lot from you, the 'magic hand'. Please? "

I said in my heart that I am really blind, and I still want to recruit this kid as my grandson-in-law?

"Mr. Sun, aren't you embarrassing me?"

Zhou Zhou grimaced and said: "Actually, it's hard for me to grasp the authentic way of Dengyun Duck now, but I feel that what you do is not so meaningful."

what?
Sun Desheng was dumbfounded.

Oh, so you don't know either?
Why is this unreasonable!
You dare to criticize me old man without knowing, I thought I met some kind of expert!
You, you, you. You are so mad at me!
Wang Shenghai and the chefs and kitchen workers in the back kitchen were so angry that their faces turned red, and they surrounded Zhou Zhou with no need to be greeted.
In peaceful times, there are two most terrifying people, one is the butcher, and the other is the cook.

The former sees blood all the year round, so his temperament will inevitably become fierce. The latter has countless guys who can compare to controlling knives, and they all know some knives. The master's feet are cut into skeletons, do you think it's scary?
But surrounded by these cooks, Zhou Zhou acted calmly.

"Get out of here!"

Seeing that he couldn't scare Zhou Zhou, Sun Desheng could only call back these disciples and grandchildren: "It's unreasonable, do you still have any rules?

I don't care about the situation in other industries. The rule of Qinxing is that junior chefs must respect senior chefs, and no one can exceed it!

Has anyone ever treated a young celebrity chef like this?
When you are young, you don't know how to respect the strong, and you will lose your face if you spread the word! "

At Zhou Zhou's age, it's a little too much to say that he is an elder, but with his status in Qinxing, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a strong peer of these chefs and chefs, and a contemporary famous chef.

However, Sun Desheng's words sounded fine, but Zhou Zhou felt very awkward. Isn't it obvious that he was embarrassing himself?So he smiled and said: "Maybe I didn't make it clear just now, Mr. Sun, I just said that I don't know yet, give me some time, and I will definitely be able to find the answer!"

Sun Desheng stared at him for a long time, and suddenly he laughed: "Okay, this is really scary for young people.
My old man has studied this 'Dengyun Duck' for many years, but he dare not speak like this.

No matter, if you want time, I will give you time. One day later, I will wait here to taste your craft, 'Master Zhou', how about it? "

In Sun Desheng's capacity, he actually used honorifics to Zhou Zhou, which was an expression of extreme anger in his heart.

Zhou Zhou is really not arrogant. Although he tasted Sun Desheng's Dengyun Duck himself, but Sun Desheng only grasped the essence of this dish, so even if Zhou Zhou used the myths on the tip of his tongue, he could not directly get the essence of this dish. The top-level recipes seem to have seen something in the system, but there still seems to be some distance.

This requires him to combine the various experiences brought by many top-level recipes, plus his own understanding and perception, to challenge this lost ancient dish; Sun Desheng decorated it with gold powder to make up for the lack of this dish, which is obviously not advisable Yes, what Zhouzhou has to do is to conquer everyone with real delicious food!

Sun Desheng and his disciples and grandchildren are depressed and angry now, Zhouzhou went to sleep in Sun Desheng's small courtyard room after explaining some needed ingredients, and slept alone
Good boy, it depends on whether you can find a 100% way to restore this ancient dish in your dreams!If the cowhide is blown, the master Zhou Zhou will be a joke from now on! ——
Looking at the orchid honey that was said to be found in the honey garden by the old man Zhang Zhouxuan himself, Zhou Zhou nodded secretly. The old man had to do it himself, which was indeed more reliable than Sun Desheng's disciples and grandchildren.

Orchid honey is not honey at all. This kind of honey is also called honeydew. It is secreted by orchids to attract insects to pollinate. It is the size of water droplets, colorless, transparent, sticky, and sweet.

But the orchid obviously thinks too much, and the little bee will not honestly help it do white work. While passively helping the orchid to pollinate, it may be a lot of money.
So part of the honeydew becomes honey, which is said to be very popular with bees. If orchid honey is produced in the hive, the bees will defend it to the death and fight with their lives against humans who try to get honey.

That's why orchid honey is also called "life dew". Every drop carries the life of a bee, which is a true portrayal of human beings exploiting lower creatures and infringing on nature.

You must know that it is very difficult for orchids to bloom, let alone secrete honeydew, and they have to wait for bees to come to collect it. King' is not an exaggeration, many times you can't buy it even if you have money.

Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan really didn't brag, he actually found this kind of honey in a short period of time, and it was the best among orchid honeys!
This made Zhou Zhou a little flattered, the old man put all his heart into helping him win this game.

"It's the top orchid honey."

From a distance, Zhou Zhou used something like a large wine mixer, put rice wine, some Chinese herbal medicines and orchid honey into it, and then shook it with his hands, like a bartender who had gone crazy after drinking too much. Jiu Tong and Su Rou's eyes lit up.

Wonderful, most of these greedy ghosts have top-notch delicacies this time.

Standing aside, Sun Desheng's eyelids twitched and his heart sank.

Zhou Zhou is so amazing, he just ate the 'Dengyun Duck' he made once, and he saw through the formulas of those medicinal materials, and even found orchid honey.

Judging by the way he prepares rice wine, it is clear that he used the tricks of making cocktails in modern bars. This can make the rice wine more integrated with medicinal materials and orchid honey. It is definitely more beneficial for soaking duck feet. After all, I am old , but such a method was unexpected.

After Zhou Zhou worked for a long time, he finally prepared the rice wine for soaking the duck feet. He poured it carefully into a glass basin, soaked the duck feet with the hard skin removed, and then covered it tightly with a glass lid. After adding a sealing ring at the interface, I beckoned the staff to take it to the transparent sealed box in the center of the stage.

Sun Desheng smiled: "Xiao Zhou, Lao Zhang is helping you so much, you have to work hard, this is the most difficult top-level orchid honey!"

"Hehe, Grandmaster Sun, who said that the restoration of this 'Dengyun Duck' depends entirely on precious ingredients like orchid honey?"

Zhou Zhou glanced at him, and walked slowly to the duck cage.

The fat duck that Zhou Zhou chose was one in a hundred. The duck's paws are thick and plump. Although the duck is artificially raised, its quality is not inferior to the wild duck that Sun Desheng used before.

When the duck in the cage saw Zhou Zhou approaching, it quacked twice and fell into great fear.

"Although the Fat Flower Duck in Guangdong Province is an artificially bred species, it adopts the natural breeding method and spends two hours looking for food in the river every day.
This flower duck is also a genetically optimized breed. Its ancestors once made outstanding contributions to the Burmese Expeditionary Force. Although it is not well-known due to lack of political sense and wrong team, it is a duck that meets the standards.”

Zhou Zhou smiled slightly, and took the black iron kitchen knife handed over by the cook.

As soon as the gleaming black iron kitchen knife was out of its sheath, the duck became even more panicked, quacking and quacking, and flapping its wings, causing the duck's feathers to fly wildly.

"Shouldn't it be?"

Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan and Wu Jiutong, who were familiar with Zhouzhou, frowned slightly.

Everyone is an expert, who doesn't know that it is best not to make the slaughtered animals too frightened before slaughtering, otherwise it will seriously affect the quality of the meat?
That's why a good chef usually hides the knife in his hand, and the animals will die when they see the light of the knife. Not to mention letting the animals die of peace, at least they can't let them die of fear.

"No, this is Lao Zhou?"

Only Su Rou felt that it was not so simple. She who had been silently paying attention to Zhou Zhou knew better than anyone else that it was too difficult to make Lao Zhou make a mistake, let alone such a low-level mistake.
-
Su Rou, who was standing beside Zhou Zhou, stared wide-eyed, staring blankly at this dreamlike and illusory sword light.

It was a sword wind that could urge the ice to break the snow, rejuvenate the earth, and make the spring thunder startle the sting.

Even if it was only for a moment, Su Rou's girlish heart was still tickled by this pulsating spring and infinite love wind.

Come on, be merry, there's plenty of time anyway
This is a kitchen knife.

This is Xiao Zhou's kitchen knife.

This is Xiao Zhou's spring kitchen knife.

This is Xiao Zhou's spring kitchen knife that makes people tickle.

Why are there such kitchen knives and such people in this world?
Why was the knife aimed at the duck and not at me?

Her physical and mental interests have long been immersed in sword skills. Seeing such a magical spring breeze and gentle sword, how can she not be moved and forget the danger behind this sword?
At this moment, Su Rou knew that her idea was stupid, but she couldn't help but envy the duck.

Being able to die under such a knife, this duck should have no regrets, right?
The duck is very happy, it is even laughing.

Ducks are very funny when they laugh. They will bow their heads slightly, narrow their small eyes, and half-open and half-close their long mouths, making a sound of 'gasi, gasi'. Usually only when spring comes, everything Ducks are only so happy when they start to reproduce.

Probably to show how happy he is, the duck squinted its eyes and even twisted its fat buttocks.

brush!
There is no trace of the knife.

Xiao Zhou's kitchen knife was so sharp that when he gently cut the duck's throat, the duck didn't even feel any pain. When a line of blood slowly appeared on its neck, it began to feel a little pain.

When the duck finally passed away, its half-closed beak closed with a trace of peace. During the whole death process, it felt great joy, great extinction, and great relief
It is difficult for even ordinary human beings to have such a clear understanding.

"this boy"

Sun Desheng muttered secretly in his heart, but he didn't know that the word "guilty" had already been written on his face.

Draining the duck's blood, removing the feathers and disembowelling, this kind of work that even the most common water table workers hate very much seems to have become an art in Zhou Zhou's hands. Zhou Zhou, who had cleaned up the ducks, held two duck paws in his hands, and his own two palms were still as clean as jade, not stained with fine dust.

"How can he do it so fast and so perfectly?"

A clean freak like Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan has an almost pathological pursuit of perfection. He thought he was already a very perfect cook, but compared with Zhou Zhouyi, it seems that he still has a long way to go.

"The next step is to soak the duck's feet in hot water to remove the hard skin, right? I still don't believe it, you can still make flowers?"

The first difficulty of 'Dengyun Duck' is to remove the hard skin on the surface of the duck's paw, otherwise it will be difficult to soak it perfectly, even if it is barely soaked, it will seriously affect the taste and taste.

To completely remove the hard skin on the bottom of the duck's paw, it must be soaked in hot water and peeled off under high heat.

However, the high temperature will inevitably cause the inner layer of the duck's paw to be 'cooked'. If the duck's paw is kept for too long, the duck's paw will be completely cooked. Even if it needs to be soaked in the later stage, it will still affect the final cooking process. delicious.

This method of processing ingredients under high temperature is Sun Desheng's housekeeping skill, but even he can't completely avoid the effect of high heat on the duck's feet. Even if the duck's feet are not completely cooked, partial burns on the duck's feet will affect the cooking.

So this process is like a double-edged sword. If you don’t do it, you can’t do it, and if you do it, it will affect the later cooking process. It is the first hurdle to distinguish the chef’s level!
Now he is curious, expecting, and also a little worried, Zhou Zhou's sword skills are so monstrous, so he has already surpassed himself as a master, right?

At this moment, he is not the only one, everyone is staring at Zhou Zhou.

Although the result of this competition will not be judged until the dishes are ready, but this step of removing the hard skin of the duck feet can basically tell the level of the chef.

"Why isn't there boiling water?"

Seeing that Zhou Zhou didn't say hello, and Su Rou, who was an assistant, didn't bring boiling water, even Sun Desheng felt a little strange.

Although this 'Dengyun Duck' has been lost for a long time, even he can only say that it has been restored by 'sixty to seventy percent', but everyone can guess the basic operating procedures.

If you don't take advantage of the fact that the duck's paw has just been cut off and the blood vessels are not completely blocked and frozen, what else is there to wait for?
