Chapter 813 Crystal Duck Fang
As soon as Chu Yunfeng poured the oil into the pot, the chefs from Hong'an's side came back. They had just gone to Bai'an's side to listen to Master Zhu's arrangements.

And they also brought back some ingredients and flour for themselves, and they will make some snacks tonight.

"Thanks, just put it on the kitchen counter for me."

After saying hello to everyone, when Chu Yunfeng went back to get something, he covered it with a rag while no one was paying attention.
After Wu Ma came back, she immediately put on her apron, washed her hands and prepared to continue handling the ingredients. When she was about to start, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Why is there so much missing? Where did the ingredients go?"

Seeing that half of the ingredients on the table were missing, Wu Ma felt a little dazed. She had just been out for a while. Could it be that there was a thief in the kitchen?

"I've put the excess in the crisper. I'll take it out later if the guests need it. Help me with the four-cheeked bass and cook this dish first."

Since the dinner was arranged in Xingchen, there would definitely be no shortage of Xingchen’s special dishes. Wu Ma saw that Chu Yunfeng was already waiting to be cooked, so she didn’t delve into the ingredients and hurriedly processed the sea bass.

Even if you feel something is wrong, you won't see anything when you go to the crisper because there are so many ingredients in it.
After a period of familiarity, coupled with Chu Yunfeng telling everyone the techniques, Wu Ma is now very experienced in handling the four-mouthed bass. Guo Kui and Hu Yue are not as skilled as her.

Bazhen seabass!
Pigeon eggs, scallops, fish maw, matsutake mushrooms, sea cucumbers, water shields, and pigeon breasts have been processed. Wu Ma handed the twelve prepared bass to Chu Yunfeng.

The dish was quickly prepared by Chu Yunfeng and was temporarily placed on the kitchen table to be served together later.

Chu Yunfeng went on to make the next dish, and Wu Ma also started cooking, and she also wanted to cook a dish by herself. This was a dish that Chu Yunfeng always wanted to learn, but Wu Ma didn't teach herself how to cook.

This dish is called Crystal Duck Recipe. It is a cold dish that is most suitable for tasting in summer. It is one of Wu Ma’s two special delicacies.

"You brat, please study hard. The exquisiteness of this dish is far beyond your imagination.

But I see you are so busy right now. Do you have the energy to learn this dish?
If you don’t have the time and energy, forget it. I’ll teach you another day, okay? "

Wu Ma deliberately teased Chu Yunfeng, knowing that he had already been craving for her two best dishes. She didn't teach him before because his cooking skills were not enough.

"Of course it is, it must be there, just do it, I'm sure it will be fine."

Chu Yunfeng can at least multi-task now. There will definitely be no problem in learning Wu Ma's dishes while cooking. His face cannot hide the ecstasy in his heart.

"Hmph~! Now that I'm capable, just watch carefully!"

After Wu Ma finished speaking, she stopped talking nonsense, took out the ingredients and started to work immediately.

There are not many ingredients, just four things, cucumber, carrot, agar and duck breast.

When Chu Yunfeng saw the duck breast for the first time, he had a thought in his mind. Could it be that this duck breast is the same as chicken breast and needs to be chopped into puree first?
Afterwards, it is like making chickpea flower, first make it into the shape of bean flower and then shape it?

This idea was shattered after 5 seconds. Wu Ma directly threw the duck breast into the water, added ginger slices, scallion knots and cooking wine and started cooking.

Hmm~?

Do you want to cook it first?

Seeing this unusual method, Chu Yunfeng became even more interested. Originally, he planned to fight hand speed with Mama Wu. While she was chopping duck breast, he was chopping chicken breast by himself.

These three dishes of eating chicken without seeing the chicken require a lot of chicken breasts, so it seems that we can only put this idea aside for now.

After a while, I saw Wu Ma taking out the fishy duck breast, washing it with water and putting it into the pot again, adding a lot of secret spices, and then cooking it with stock.

It seems that this is to enhance the flavor. The key thing lies in these secret spices, and Chu Yunfeng has memorized them one by one.

After simmering it over low heat, Wu Ma put the agar-agar into a bowl, added high-grade clear soup, added a little salt and pepper, then put it into the pot and started steaming it.

The duck breast on the other side was cooked after a while, and you can smell a very fragrant smell as soon as it comes out of the pot. The duck meat cooked with secret spices and stock is obviously very delicious.

Wu Ma let it cool naturally, and took time to help Chu Yunfeng while waiting. At this time, Chu Yunfeng had already cooked a lot of dishes.

After the duck breast had cooled down and the agar-agar steamed in high-grade clear soup had been steamed, Wu Ma removed some of the extra small bones around it and then cut it into square pieces.

Then carrots and cucumbers came in handy.

Cut the carrot into a diamond shape and arrange it into a small flower, and use cucumber to make the stems and leaves of the small flower, which is presented on the duck square.

The steamed agar had completely melted into the high-grade clear soup. After Wu Ma brought it out, she filtered it, then placed the duck cubes one by one on the dinner plate, and poured the hot soup from the side.

Just wait until the duck is just covered. As the agar cools, the entire dinner plate has begun to solidify.

It looks crystal clear, really like crystal.

Ya Fang and the little flower are like a work of art frozen in ice crystals, which is very shocking at first sight.

Wu Ma used a knife to cut out the pieces of duck neatly, and then placed a round pyramid shape on the dinner plate, which looked really beautiful.

Finally, a sauce was made with high-grade clear soup, salt and sesame oil, and poured lightly on top of the duck, which added a wonderful flavor.

Decorating the plate with blanched broccoli flowers adds the finishing touch. It is simply a piece of exquisite art that makes people reluctant to eat it.

“This dish looks relatively simple, but there are many details that need to be paid attention to when making it. The key lies in the ratio of spices and agar-agar.

After it gets a little worse, the taste will change a lot. You need to pay special attention to these areas.

Especially when cutting the duck, the force of the knife must be controlled well. If the force is not enough, the duck will be damaged, and the bones below must be cut off with one knife.

I don’t need to say more about the sauce, you can adjust this yourself. "

What Mama Wu said made Chu Yunfeng nod his head. Naturally, he knew that he was reminding himself. In fact, the taste of this cold dish can be varied.

Because the princess likes light dishes, Wu Ma made a homemade sauce. Of course, you can also make strange, sweet and sour, fishy, ​​or red oily sauces.

The duck itself has a salty and umami taste, and it is very delicious no matter it is paired with any sauce.

"I understand. Learning one dish is equivalent to learning several dishes. I'll try making one later."

Chu Yunfeng was in a good mood. He learned another traditional Sichuan dish, and it was also a cold dish. Looking back at the traditional Sichuan dishes he had learned before, most of them were hot dishes.

This crystal duck cube can also be used to make a set meal. It only requires one piece of duck cube and some plating, and it can definitely become a high-end set meal.

"You can make the Dongpo Pork. I'll make the lotus cake first. It's almost ready to be served.

Tonight's dishes are not suitable to be served together. They have to be allowed to taste them slowly, one by one! "

The dishes for the dinner were all carefully selected by Chu Yunfeng, including home-cooked dishes with Sichuan characteristics, exquisite traditional Sichuan dishes, and even a famous Huaiyang dish.

The Huaiyang dish is, of course, Wensi Tofu. Princess Duck wanted to eat the three sets, but she didn’t have enough time. She had to wait until the boutique store held a banquet to prepare it.

"Okay, then hurry up and open the cakes. I guess Mu Qing will take the princess into the private room soon, and she will come over soon to order the dishes."

After Wu Ma found out about Chu Yunfeng's arrangement, she immediately went to the stove and started making Dongpo pork, which needs to be fried carefully when making lotus flower pasta.

It's okay for Chu Yunfeng to multitask, but he needs to be very careful when frying lotus cakes. If he makes other dishes, it may cause some defects.

Dongpo Pork, a relatively common home-cooked dish, was not difficult for Wu Ma. While cooking it, she had the time to watch Chu Yunfeng making lotus cakes.

I have to say that Chu Yunfeng's skills in making pastries are really good. He is almost catching up with Master Zhu. His puffing and puffing techniques are very fast, and the dough is like a toy in his hands, kneading it at will.

"The guests have been seated. How are the dishes prepared? Can we start serving them?"

As soon as Chu Yunfeng finished making the lotus cake, Mu Qing came to the kitchen, patted Chu Yunfeng on the shoulder and asked.

"Six dishes have been served. You can serve them first and then slowly. Don't be in a hurry."

Chu Yunfeng pointed to the eight delicacies of sea bass, lotus cake, crystal duck cubes, roasted chicken with ham, brown sugar glutinous rice cake, black and white rice cakes on the table, and asked Mu Qing to send these dishes over first.

"Roasted chicken berries with ham? They will definitely like this dish very much. This Xuanwei ham paired with the seasonal chicken berries will definitely taste the most delicious.

Crystal duck recipe?I haven’t eaten Wu’s mother’s specialty dishes for a long time. Do you have more? Can you give me some? "

Mu Qing was a little excited after seeing these dishes. Although among the five dishes, only Bazhen Sea Bass and Crystal Duck Recipe were high-end dishes, the other three dishes should not be underestimated.

It is not easy to achieve the effect of lotus blossoms in the appearance of lotus cake, and if the cake is not opened properly, the pastry will not achieve the effect of breaking with a light touch.

The lotus cake made by Chu Yunfeng is not only bright in color, but the exquisite cooking skills can only be felt after eating it.

Brown sugar glutinous rice cake may be the most common of these dishes, but how could it be so simple when made by Chu Yunfeng?

The glutinous rice cake alone uses eggs to give it a beautiful yellow coating. The brown sugar is also the best ancient Pharaoh brown sugar, and the sugar liquid is relatively thick, but sweet but not greasy.

This is not over yet. There is also some soybean flour on the plate, which is fried by hand. After the soybeans are fried until fragrant, they are ground into powder by hand. The aroma is absolutely fragrant.

The egg puff glutinous rice cake is coated with a little brown sugar juice and topped with a little soybean noodles. It is definitely a top-notch taste and enjoyment.

The Black and White Shuangsha dish is very interesting. It is a cold dish. Mu Qing is ready to serve it and then introduce it to the princess.

"No more. If you want to eat it, I'll cook it for you tomorrow. I just learned this dish just now and my hands are itchy."

Pointing to the plate where only the solidified agar was left, Chu Yunfeng shook his head helplessly. Not to mention Mu Qing wanted to eat it, he wanted it too.
"Okay then, let's see if your cooking skills are as good as Mother Wu's tomorrow. Then I'll serve the food first.

By the way, Yu Lili and the others are still waiting outside. Do you want to see how they can be arranged? "

After Mu Qing asked the waiter to put these dishes into the food delivery truck, she certainly did not forget the two plates of kimchi, which are the top appetizers.

"Snapped!"

Chu Yunfeng patted his forehead. He had been busy cooking and almost forgot about it, so he immediately replied: "Let's serve it first. I'll prepare the dish and deliver it myself.

Let's take the opportunity of serving food to ask the princess again. Let Yu Lili take photos of the scene first. The press release will probably be sent out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. "

"I guess it's about the same. I definitely can't send it out today. I just received news that the master chefs of Cantonese and Huaiyang cuisine are asking around?

Many star hotels and some high-end private restaurants in Chengdu are also asking around, wondering if the princess is here?
When I come, I will go to that restaurant to investigate. I have answered a lot of calls, but I have hung up all of them. This call is not easy to answer. "

Mu Qing shook the phone in her hand, showing a helpless expression.

Chu Yunfeng smiled and secretly thought that Mu Qing was too naughty. If he didn't answer the phone, he wouldn't have to answer. If he didn't answer, he wouldn't have to lie. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain.

"Go quickly, I'll be here when this dish is ready.

By the way, do they drink?Do they want to try my top three wines? "

Chu Yunfeng wants to promote these three wines to the Thai state banquet. This is probably the first time that Chinese liquor has appeared on the stage of a foreign state banquet, right?
"I'll ask them later. If they don't drink, I'll give them a free bottle. As long as they don't believe it after taking a sip, they won't continue drinking."

Mu Qing blinked at Chu Yunfeng and revealed her little "skill". It seemed that she had already thought of this problem and made clear arrangements for them in advance.

"It suits me very well, let's do it!"

Chu Yunfeng's words made Wu Ma on the side couldn't help but laugh. She secretly thought that these two guys cooperated so well. If they were asked to trick people, would they be able to trick each one accurately?
"Here comes the dish. This is Sichuan kimchi carefully made by Chef Chu. It is based on the recipe of the famous Sichuan cuisine restaurant Guguyan. Try a little before the banquet to help whet your appetite."

After putting the six dishes on the table one by one, Princess Sirina's eyes lit up, and she immediately became interested in these dishes.

Two of these dishes looked very exquisite at first glance, while the rest looked a bit ordinary, but the smell alone made me dare not underestimate them.

"Isn't this kimchi too delicious?
It's nothing like Korean kimchi. The taste is really amazing. Just one bite made me feel empty and I wanted to try these dishes right away.

This is simply incredible! "

Princess Silena just tasted the pickled carrots and immediately praised her. At this time, Chu Yunfeng also knocked on the door and came in.
