gourmet food

1331 - rushed over
The big leader looked at the three people who were gradually approaching with confusion, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

As soon as these three people walked into the venue, they immediately saw the dishes in their hands. They were very surprised at the time. When they got closer, they could see clearly that they were the same as the three dishes they had just served.

"What's going on? Wasn't the food just finished?"

The big leader turned to look at Minister Jin and Minister Liu. Minister Liu looked confused and didn't know how to answer, but he was also very anxious and looked at Minister Jin with a worried look.

What on earth did Lao Jin do? He made such a mistake on such an important occasion. How could he make such a low-level mistake?
But what is puzzling is that Minister Jin always has a faint smile on his face: "Leader, you don't know something. Although the dishes delivered now are the same as before, there is one thing that is different.

Please let me give it a try. Let's taste it first and see if you can find any clues. If you don't find the secret, then I will reveal it to you, okay? "

So you were prepared?
The big leader nodded thoughtfully and said: "Okay, then let's separate the dishes in the order they were served just now!"

Minister Wang and Section Chief Yu quickly divided the salt-fried pork into small plates and quickly placed it on the long table, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The exact same dish was served, and everyone immediately looked at it carefully. But no matter how everyone looked at it, this dish was still salt-fried pork, right?

And whether it's in terms of appearance or side dishes, it's the same as the salt-fried pork that I tasted before. So what kind of medicine is sold in Minister Kim's gourd?
"Try it and see what's the difference in this salt-fried pork?"

The big leader took the lead, picking up a piece of lean meat with a hint of dry aroma and a piece of fat meat with a burnt aroma, and put it into his mouth. When making salt-fried pork, it tastes the most delicious with a little fat.

Because the salt-fried pork when cooked raw will have a slightly woody feel, but with the fat as a foil, the texture will become softer.

Especially after the fat meat has been baptized by high temperature, its skin will shrink, and when the heat is reached, the surface of the fat meat will have a thin burnt ring.

If you want to bring out the burnt ring, you must use a strong fire. This burnt ring can bring an extremely rich aroma, which adds to the beauty of tasting this dish.

However, if a strong fire is used, it will be a great test for the lean meat on the other side. If the fire is over, the lean meat will become quite woody, and the taste will naturally be unflattering.

So although this dish is easy to make, if you want to make it to the extreme, it is definitely not as easy as it looks.

And when the big leader put the seemingly identical piece of meat into his mouth again, he took two bites carelessly at first, but those two bites immediately stunned him.

The chewing movements in his mouth stopped, as if he felt something incredible, and suddenly looked at Minister Jin.

Minister Liu was instantly attracted by the leader's action. The meat slices in his hands became unstable and fell from the chopsticks back to the plate.

Wouldn't this be a problem?
Did the big boss sense that something was wrong?

But Minister Liu's worries were unnecessary, because the big leader's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and then he began to taste it more quickly.

After tasting it for two more times, the big leader nodded in approval, and then started to taste a piece again.

"Well, it's good. It's really different. Lao Jin, this meat
Haha, I understand, don’t reveal it first, let’s talk about it after the test is over! "

Meat?
The big boss seemed to have discovered the clue. Minister Jin nodded, picked up a piece with chopsticks and started trying it. Then, like the big boss, he laughed mysteriously.

Minister Liu didn't know what was going on, but the food was right in front of him, and he would know it once he tasted it. After a piece of salt-fried pork entered his mouth, Minister Liu suddenly looked incredulous.

This meat, this meat?
It seems to be very different from the salt-fried pork I just tasted. The salt-fried pork tested this time is obviously very different in taste and aroma.

Although the lean meat of the salt-fried pork I tried for the first time had a slightly woody texture, this was the most normal state of the salt-fried pork. After all, it was lean meat and it was cooked raw.

However, Chu Yunfeng handled it quite well. The outer layer of lean meat has a slight woody feel, but the inner layer of meat is still relatively soft and tender. It tastes absolutely amazing.

But after tasting it again, the taste has changed a little too much, right?
Chai still has a slight sense of firewood, but when you taste the inner meat, there is such a glutinous feeling?

Yes, it is the feeling of waxy. The taste of waxy feeling is the most addictive, because waxy things can give people a very pleasant mood.

But the question is, is this lean meat?
No matter when you taste pork, when can this lean meat provide people with a glutinous texture?
The second is the fatty meat, the general fatty meat is very loose when bitten down, especially the kind of feed-fed pigs, the biggest failure of this fatty meat is greasy.

Not only is it greasy, but it also leaves a scummy taste in your mouth.

But the fat meat I tasted for the second time also had a soft and waxy feeling, and the fat meat was not greasy at all. The smell of burnt meat was simply irresistible.

This is so delicious!
I couldn't stop eating it, but what made me feel uncomfortable was that the meat slices on the plate were instantly emptied. When I wanted to take another bite, it was gone?

"This this?"

The big boss's side was fine. He tasted three slices. When he moved his chopsticks again, he found that the meat slices could no longer be found. He could only pick up a piece of green pepper in frustration and taste it out of boredom.

But after tasting the extraordinary taste of salt-fried pork, no matter how good the taste and texture of the green pepper was, I couldn't get enough of it.

"Get out of here and serve the shredded pork!"

The big leader's words were like the sound of nature, instantly making everyone excited. They were so looking forward to the special feeling of flesh just now, so they all became anxious when they saw Minister Wang's movements.

Hurry up!

Minister Wang and the others are already fast enough, but with everyone looking forward to it, it's understandable that they can't wait.

Minister Jin himself was also looking forward to it, so he couldn't help but walked over and urged: "Old Wang, hurry up!

After dividing the shredded pork, continue to divide the twice-cooked pork. After tasting it, you can serve it directly. Don’t waste time.

In addition, the kitchen reminded Xiao Chu to serve the food faster! "

After hearing Minister Jin's prompt, Minister Wang nodded repeatedly, but when he thought about the taste of the next two dishes, he suddenly didn't want to leave here.

But what about the kitchen?

By the way, Minister Wang suddenly thought of a way, so he smiled at Section Chief Yu. After seeing this smile, Section Chief Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Lao Yu, please go over to the kitchen and ask for help. Don't worry about that. I will save a portion for you when you taste it later. You can try it after the dishes are delivered."

Section Chief Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this. Naturally, he also wanted to taste Chu Yunfeng's peerless cooking skills for the first time. However, since he and Minister Wang are both service staff today, there must be a person behind the scenes, right?
In desperation, Section Chief Yu could only nod in agreement, but before leaving, he still told Minister Wang very seriously and solemnly: "As promised, you must leave a copy for me."

"Don't worry, aren't you still worried about me?"

After giving Chief Yu his assurance, Minister Wang couldn't help but laugh. How big a deal is this? Is it possible that he will eat your share?
After receiving Minister Wang's guarantee, Section Chief Yu immediately felt relieved, and then hurried to the kitchen to see what dishes Chu Yunfeng would serve next.

As soon as the dry shredded pork arrived, the leader started tasting it without saying anything.

After taking a sip, I immediately gave a thumbs up: "Absolutely, it's absolutely amazing. I'm even more curious now, and I can't help but want to know the answer."

Dry shredded pork!

After dry-stirring, the texture should be thicker, but it seems that the moisture has been absorbed to the extreme. The shredded pork looks quite dry, but the taste does not match its appearance at all.

That is, the meat strips are not woody at all. The surface is extremely dry and fragrant, and the meat has a special waxy texture, which makes people feel completely deceived by its appearance.

Although it is not very spicy, it does not affect the time of savoring its taste. The meat strips are quite chewy and addictive!

"It smells good. This meat stick is obviously much more fragrant than the previous one, isn't it?"

"Yes, and the texture is obviously different, which makes me doubt that this is pork!"

"The meat must be pork. It obviously tastes like pork, but the texture is a bit like rabbit meat. However, if rabbit meat is not cooked well, it will be very fishy. The taste is very neutral, so it must be pork."

"Pork? That's not right. When did pork have such a soft and glutinous texture? After eating pork for so many years, you really haven't noticed it?"

"Isn't this venison? Or mutton or something. I don't believe that pork can have such a texture!"

The members of the assessment team started talking one after another. Everyone was very surprised by the dishes they tasted so far. It can be said that they were full of surprises, but they had no idea about the judgment of this meat.

"It's fragrant. It's so fragrant. I don't think there's any problem with this dish being served at a state banquet. The chili is not spicy, but it provides the aroma of chili. It's very rich in taste!"
This should be the result of removing the pepper seeds, so why the peppers are so fragrant? "

The big boss had no problem with his judgment on this dish. Minister Jin immediately nodded and said: "Yes, actually the spiciest part of the chili pepper is the seed. After removing it, it is not so spicy.

Moreover, Xiao Chu specially selected chili peppers with strong fragrance, so the taste is very suitable for people who can't eat spicy food. I didn't expect that the boss would rate this dish so highly. I didn't expect it to be included in the state banquet! "

Minister Jin understood that the state banquet mentioned by the big leader was the most top-notch state banquet, and only foreign guests who could not tolerate spicy food were received. However, most of the foreign guests received by the ASEAN Club this time loved spicy food.

If there are not a few spicy dishes, everyone might lose their appetite.

Hearing Minister Jin's surprise, the senior leader laughed and said: "Let's go back and do a comprehensive review of Xiao Chu's dishes to see which ones can be included in the state banquet?

Finally, make a list and send it out to go through the process to increase the number of dishes for the state banquet. There are always so many dishes that need to be improved! "

Whoo~!

Minister Jin was really surprised this time. Chu Yunfeng had such a rare opportunity. He actually got a chance to select the dishes for the state banquet.

You must know that obtaining such a ticket requires an opportunity and a specially organized assessment team.

However, the timing is just right today. With the scores from this ready-made assessment team, we will then let the master chefs in the kitchen conduct an internal review, and finally submit them to the superiors for review.

If it passes, then the dishes made by Chu Yunfeng can be officially included in the menu of the state banquet. This is simply a blessing from heaven!

You must know that Sichuan cuisine plays a very small role in the state banquet dishes. However, once these Sichuan dishes are included in the official menu of the state banquet, and once there is a reception task in the future, the scope of Sichuan cuisine will be too much.

After Minister Jin agreed, the big boss urged us to serve the third dish, twice-cooked pork!
"Twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, this is a typical Sichuan dish. Many restaurants in Beijing make this dish. They like to put cabbage in it. It tastes good, but the garlic sprouts taste better together!"

The big leader was very emotional. This time, Minister Liu immediately responded and complained: "Boss, you don't know that the Sichuan cuisine served in many restaurants in the capital is fake.

Many of the dishes made here are not Sichuan cuisine at all, and they are imitating Sichuan cuisine, or they are not imitated well enough, and they are not even similar in spirit.

I was fooled last time and ordered a twice-cooked pork, but it turned out that it was stir-fried with carrots, and the carrots were still raw.

Also, I once came across something stir-fried with onions, and the taste was even more unique.”

Minister Liu’s complaint resonated with Minister Jin: “Isn’t that right? Last time I was in a hurry to go to a meeting, so I randomly found a restaurant on the street, and the signboard was Rongcheng Restaurant.

I just happened to be craving for Kung Pao Chicken. I wanted to have a plate of Kung Pao Chicken along with two bowls of rice. But who would have thought that when this plate of Kung Pao Chicken was served, it almost scared my glasses off? .

You don’t know, but the whole plate of Kung Pao Chicken is as sizzling as a flood. Looking at the side dishes, there are not only cucumbers but also carrots in it!
If you have never tasted this dish, you would really think that this is how Kung Pao Chicken is made, but as someone who has tasted it, I immediately suspected that the boss was worried about my insufficient vitamin intake, and he was being considerate of me! "

Hahahahaha.
Minister Jin's words instantly made the senior leader, Minister Liu, and surrounding colleagues burst into laughter. Speaking of the magic of Sichuan cuisine in the capital, many people must have experienced it.

So this also makes everyone not have a deep understanding of Sichuan food. They always think that besides being spicy, this Sichuan food has no characteristics and the taste is not very good.

Over time, stereotypes gradually deepen, and it is naturally difficult to change them all at once.

“Come on, try it and see what’s different about this twice-cooked pork!”

The big boss cheerfully picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork that had already formed a nest with his chopsticks. This half-fat, half-lean piece of meat came with garlic sprouts, which was definitely the best way to appreciate the essence of this dish.

Sure enough, after taking a sip, the leader immediately exclaimed: "It's different, absolutely different. How come there is such a big gap between the taste and aroma?"

The rest of the people also exclaimed. The difference between the two dishes before and after was so big that it was unbelievable.

So soon, the twice-cooked pork on the plate was instantly wiped out. Minister Jin's reaction was a little slow and he didn't even taste the second bite.

Not fun, this is really not fun!

Just when everyone felt very depressed, suddenly the figure of Section Chief Yu appeared at the door, and the dish he was holding instantly attracted everyone's attention, and many people were a little confused. Ready to move!
An accident occurred. When Minister Jin rushed over to quickly take over the dish, many people rushed over with him.
