Chapter 1038 Brine inheritance
Is it possible to form a group to go to the restroom?
Peng Yue is obviously causing trouble!
Chu Yunfeng looked back and found that the others didn't seem to have any intention of forming a group, so he breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise it would be difficult for him to find a chance to escape.

But when I saw the thoughtful eyes cast by everyone, I was speechless.

As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, Chu Yunfeng immediately showed a sharp look: "The toilet is over there, you go there quickly!"

Pointing to the eye-catching sign of the restroom on the opposite side, Chu Yunfeng reminded Peng Yue, but Peng Yue saw him standing still, so he was naturally unmoved.

"I know, aren't you going? Don't hurry up and don't keep everyone waiting!"

Peng Yue put on an expression that said, "I know everything." It was obvious that he was sure of you, which made Chu Yunfeng feel a little helpless.

Facing this guy's helplessness, Chu Yunfeng had no choice but to ask speechlessly: "Tell me, what are you doing with me?"

Knowing that this guy was a follower, Chu Yunfeng went straight to a showdown with him.

"Haha, I knew something was wrong. We are buddies. This is your territory. I won't reveal your secrets. What can you hide from me?

Come on, take me to see you, I know it's not that easy for you to sneak out! "

Now that it's all said and done, it's hard for Chu Yunfeng to shirk away, but when he thinks about how everyone misunderstood his eyes, this guy is too hateful.

So the two of them immediately started to turn around and walked directly to the small house next to them. Peng Yue was more and more surprised, guessing that he would definitely know a big secret.

As soon as he entered the door, Peng Yue immediately heard a familiar voice: "You are finally here. If you don't come, I will call you. Hurry up!"

Is this President Hou?
what's the situation?
Peng Yue immediately rushed in front of Chu Yunfeng and greeted President Hou with a smile: "Hi~! President, long time no see!"

Peng Yue?

President Hou was stunned for a moment, then frowned, looked at Chu Yunfeng and said, "Why did this guy follow you here?"

There seemed to be a hint of displeasure in this tone, which made Peng Yue nervous all of a sudden. He really didn't expect that President Hou would be here, and it seemed that he was still playing the role of a cook?
and many more!

This is, this is?
Buddha jumps over the wall?
I go!

No wonder Chu Yunfeng was about to come out. After a long time, this guy secretly cooked here. No wonder he couldn't find his pots and pans in the back kitchen. They had all been moved here.

"You're just a follower. If you insist on following me, let him do whatever he wants!"

Chu Yunfeng said with a half-smile, but he didn't seem to mind that Peng Yue followed him, which made President Hou say nothing more.

Seeing that he was "beaten" into a follower, Peng Yue didn't seem to be angry at all, but felt a little happy because Chu Yunfeng didn't mind allowing him to stay here.

Good guy, do I know this now?
Peng Yue understood a lot of things at once. It seems that Chu Yunfeng's status in the back kitchen is not low. His identity has been hidden by the master chefs. This must have been sent by the superiors.

Otherwise, just now, Master Fan and him were just competing with each other as if they were peers, and he would probably be the only one who could see the clues.

Moreover, a place was specially opened for him to cook, obviously cooperating with him to hide his identity. Isn't this treatment a bit too high?
Otherwise, why bother with it? Why not just put it in the kitchen over there?
When the president was here, Peng Yue didn't ask much. He could only see that Chu Yunfeng quickly fried a few crucian carp, threw them into the wine jar, and left immediately.

Is this gone?

Are you here just to fry some crucian carp?

President Hou will continue to be a cook?

Cattle!
It’s so awesome!
Master Sun is still waiting, and he doesn't seem to be angry at all. It's a pity that the other six people are still kept in the dark. Thinking about it this way, it seems that his treatment is also very unusual!

Seeing Chu Yunfeng walking quickly into the back kitchen, Peng Yue had no chance to ask questions. Although he was a little depressed, he was still mostly happy.

"I'm sorry, Master Sun, for wasting your time!"

After coming back, Chu Yunfeng immediately looked embarrassed, but Master Sun waved his hand directly, indicating that he didn't care at all.

Peng Yue murmured in his heart: "What's the point of caring about this, you are all in the same group, the acting really looks like it"

After seeing the person come back, Master Sun didn't waste any time and started explaining immediately.

"When it comes to Su cuisine, the first thing that comes to mind is Huaiyang cuisine, there is no doubt about it, Huaiyang cuisine is indeed the most exquisite crown of Su cuisine.

But the other three cuisines also have their own styles, and some dishes are as exquisite as Huaiyang cuisine.

So, let’s first talk about your impressions and understanding of Su cuisine? "

Su Cai’s impression?
Jiangsu cuisine is actually Jiangsu cuisine. When mentioning Jiangsu, the two cities of Suzhou and Nanjing are naturally indispensable.

Beibei was the most lively and had the hotness of a Hunan girl. Naturally, she was the first to respond: "Nanjing's duck blood vermicelli soup is very popular now, and young people like it very much."

Not to be outdone, Ren Tingting immediately added: "Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, yyds!"

What?

YYDS?

Master Sun was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what yyds meant, but the Yangcheng Lake hairy crab in front obviously agreed with it and nodded in understanding.

Haha!

Everyone started laughing. These two girls were quite upright. They immediately mentioned what young people now love most, which naturally resonated with them.

But it was obviously a bit off topic. Master Sun certainly meant that he was more concerned about the impact of the dishes, so Song Shaochen immediately brought the topic back: "I think the first recommendation should be Wensi Tofu.

This dish requires very high knife skills and is very difficult to make. Even if you have passed the knife skills, the spoon will still test your skills. "

After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Chu Yunfeng. He also knew that Chu Yunfeng could make Wensi Tofu and had a very deep foundation.

Master Sun was very satisfied, smiled and nodded: "That's right, Wensi Tofu can be said to have brought the knife skills of Huaiyang cuisine to the extreme, and it has also opened up a new flavor of literati cuisine."

This rating is quite high, but this dish does stand up to such a reputation.

Others also mentioned some distinctive dishes, and Master Sun commented on them one by one.

Chu Yunfeng's answer was different. He only said three words: "Salted duck!"

Hmm~?

Isn’t this the most famous duck in Nanjing?

Chu Yunfeng did not bring it up casually, but had deep considerations. After all, he had seen the charm of camphor tea duck. This duck, which is popular throughout Nanjing, must have an extremely extraordinary taste.

However, Chu Yunfeng had no intention of stealing from his master, nor did he want to promote this famous salted duck.

After all, this is not a classic Sichuan cuisine, and its taste may not be loved by the people in Sichuan, so naturally it will not create a scale effect like the camphor tea duck.

Master Sun didn't know that Chu Yunfeng would think so much, he just thought he was more interested.

So he said with a hint of caution: "This salted duck is indeed a major feature of Nanjing, but if it can be done well, the duck can exude a beautiful fragrance.

That is the pleasant almond aroma, as well as other nutty aromas. It is said that this aroma can reach 92 kinds when combined. It is really an endless aftertaste! "

92 scents?

This is the first time everyone has heard that a dish can produce 92 kinds of aromas. Isn't it incredible?

It's just salted duck. As the name suggests, it's made of salt. How come it has so much fragrance?
Seeing how interested everyone was, before Chu Yunfeng could continue to ask questions, Master Sun continued to answer questions: "The first choice for this salted duck is Osmanthus duck, which is a unique duck species in the Jinling area.

The second is its production method, which is a very classic twelve-character method: rub it with salt, marinate it with salt, blow it dry, and cook it thoroughly.

Fried salt should be carried out during the pickling process, because fried salt can enhance the penetrating power, kill thermophilic bacteria in the salt, and increase the flavor.

The so-called old brine, salted duck is marinated using a combination of dry pickling and re-brine. The brine used in the re-brine can be divided into new brine and old brine. The new brine is boiled with fried salt and spices; It refers to the marinade produced after repeated marinating.

Theoretically speaking, as the number of times of re-brining increases, more and more soluble substances in the raw duck will be dissolved in the marinade, ultimately giving the duck meat a fresh and rich unique taste. "

When Master Sun said this, Chu Yunfeng immediately understood that in fact, if he wants to achieve 92 kinds of fragrances, he must have the old brine that has been passed down.

This has given me a lot of inspiration, especially when making camphor tea duck. The latest technique now also requires braising.

If the brine you make is thicker, the flavor of the Zhangcha Duck will definitely be richer.

Generally speaking, it is not easy to get a bite of Laolu. It is said that a century-old restaurant in Beijing is going to close down.

There was a 20-year-old brine that I wanted to sell, and a lot of people came to buy it. In the end, it was bought for a full price of 100 million.

This shows the importance of this old brine, which can definitely be passed down.

Master Sun saw Chu Yunfeng in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking, so he coughed and was about to get serious.

Chu Yunfeng was "alarmed" and came back to his senses. Only then did he realize that he had been distracted, but it seemed that he could pay more attention to the brine matter.

If you want to make Zhangcha Duck a heritage brand, you still need to put a lot of effort into the brine.

The brine in Sichuan is divided into red brine and white brine, but red brine is needed to make camphor tea duck, how should I think about it?

Then Chu Yunfeng suddenly remembered a story he had seen before. It was said that there was a newly opened stewed stew and fire roasting restaurant in the capital. It had been open for some time, and the business was a little slow.

The shop owner also knows that his shop is newly opened, and the taste of this brine is naturally not as good as other old shops. This skill was passed down from his father, and he doesn't know anything else besides this?
So I had no choice but to make a living. At first I thought I could only survive day by day.

After the taste of the brine slowly rises, it will naturally be full of customers.

But time waits for no one. It has been a month since the store opened, and the business is getting worse and worse. If this continues, I will definitely not be able to survive the day I hope.

But how can we improve the quality and taste of the brine in our own store?

The shop owner thought hard, and it seemed that he had no other choice but to accumulate it day by day?
The shop owner who really couldn't think of a way continued to grit his teeth and persisted for a week. During this week, he felt even more frustrated and desperate.

The business is so bad that no one comes to patronize for a whole day. Doesn't this make him fall into a bottomless abyss?
The old mother in the family is sick, and I have two children. How can I support this big family just by relying on my wife to do some needlework?

When the store closed at night and went home, the owner brought back a copy of the stewed stew he made himself, and was going to add another meal to the family. During this time, there was no business in the store, so he didn’t make much by himself, and the family could eat it. Just right.

When it was time to have dinner, the family was reluctant to move their chopsticks in front of the braised food on the table. They seemed to know the situation in the store during this period, and everyone was worried.

So the store owner began to feel relieved, saying that this newly opened store would have such a process, and it would take a little longer, so that everyone could eat with ease.

But the shop owner's comfort didn't seem to have much effect. The youngest son of the family is 7 years old and seems to be very smart and sensible.

Knowing that his father was in trouble, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of large intestine for him, and said with a smile: "Father, you can eat first, and keep my share."

When I accumulate more, I will merge them all together. The taste will definitely be more delicious, and your business will be better by then. "

Pa~!

The shop owner suddenly felt an inspiration flashing through his head. The young son's seemingly stupid, but actually somewhat clever, statement inspired him instantly.

So he immediately slapped himself hard on the thigh.

Great idea!

He immediately hugged his youngest son and started kissing him, which puzzled the rest of the family.

However, the shop owner did not explain at this time, but laughed loudly and asked the family to eat quickly. He had already thought of a way and could implement it tomorrow.

The family members were doubtful, but seeing him so happy, maybe he had really thought of a solution?
So everyone finished their dinner happily, but the shop owner was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night and kept waiting for dawn.

After finally staying up until dawn, the shop owner was not in a hurry to open the shop. Instead, he called his two children, gave them a lot of money, and told them to find their friends to help.

Let these friends go to the south side of the city and buy one copy of the braised pork from all the braised pork restaurants. Buy from each store, and make sure that each store buys two copies, or more than two copies.

It was easy to do things with money, and it didn't take long for this portion of stewed and boiled fire to be sent back to the home, and the shopkeeper separated them all.

This stewed stew is mainly braised pig intestines and pig lungs, and is paired with ingredients such as fried tofu and topped with Lao Lu's soup. It tastes very delicious.

So after separating these soups and ingredients, the owner of the store merged all the brines in the whole Nancheng together, and began to experiment immediately.

You must know that this braised pork originated from Nanheng Street in the south of the capital. The braised pork restaurants in this area are all old ones, so the braised pork is naturally the essence of the past.

Sure enough, after all the brines from these families were collected, the flavor of the brine produced was even more unique, which immediately improved his family's business and life gradually.

As soon as Chu Yunfeng thought of this story, he began to weigh it in his mind. How about he also try to collect some Baijia brine?
