   Chapter 121 Good Taste

   What is a good meal?

The levels of    are different, and the standards are also different.

   For example, a five-dollar lunch box on the street has only one standard or requirement, that is, heavy oil, heavy salt, and heavy MSG.

  Heavy oil makes you subconsciously feel that this dish is "affordable", and the store is willing to pay for it. In fact, this is of course an illusion, and it is a big one, because inferior oil is worthless at all, and ordinary people can't tell the difference between five yuan a pound of oil and fifty yuan a pound of oil. Eating it is harmful to the body. There is a difference, but no difference to the tongue when eating.

Heavy salt, no matter how stale the ingredients are, the salty taste is too heavy, you can't eat anything, and there are even more ruthless shops, not only heavy salt but also heavy color, such as adding some soy sauce and so on, well, even if the ingredients are expired to the color It's changed, you can't see it.

   Heavy monosodium glutamate and heavy salt complement each other. When the two work together, people will feel that "this dish has enough flavor!"

   So the three came together to help each other, and each other's shortcomings were covered up by the opposite side, making this meal a widely acclaimed meal, "Not bad!" "Delicious!" "Very affordable!" "I've been eating here!"

Implement this purpose, and then try to compress and control the cost of ingredients. As long as the location of such a fast food restaurant is suitable, even if it does not make a lot of money, it can still make a lot of money. On the contrary, if it does not follow this purpose, Most of them have to lose and lose, and the more conscientious the ingredients are, the faster the closure will be.

   So, if you let a skilled chef open a fast food restaurant and close it down in three days, that's fine. Because you don't need cooking skills at all to do this! On the contrary, the ability to cook is the biggest obstacle. There is a kind of meal called anti-cooking.

   Those who are used to home-cooked meals cannot eat such meals.

   What is home cooking?

   Home-cooked meals are delicious and nourishing.

  If you eat at home, you will definitely not buy inferior ingredients. Of course, there are a few exceptions for petty cheap people, or because they don’t know how to buy things that seem to be good but are actually bad. In general, home-cooked meals, at least in terms of ingredients, are guaranteed to a certain extent.

   Then, not so much oil, not so much salt, and not so much flavor.

Most families know that eating too much of these things is not good for the body. Occasionally, even if the taste of the dish is too heavy, other dishes or the next meal will be a little lighter on purpose or not, and adjust it, such as fried chicken legs at noon, It is very likely that there will be a millet porridge in the evening.

  Every family chef, as long as they are not stupid, will slowly learn the way of "neutralization" over time, although they may not know it themselves.

  If it still has a good taste under the premise of neutralization, it is a good home-cooked meal.

  Culinary skills are actually at this level, with more emphasis on ingredients, heat and taste.

As far as taste is concerned, most families know to use some MSG chicken essence or soy sauce as seasoning. If you don't add these things, it will be bland, but if you are a chef, you know more and have more convenience at hand, so you can have soup stock. There are mushroom powder, sea intestine powder, or even kelp soup, and in some cases, MSG can be replaced. ——Although MSG was originally extracted from kelp, and it was "green out of blue".

   As for the common special seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, pepper, aniseed, cumin, etc., not to mention.

These various flavoring methods are naturally not comparable to ordinary families. If there are more methods and suitable matching, different dishes use different flavoring methods. Therefore, a "good taste" cannot escape. , and if the ingredients pass the test, the cooking temperature is also suitable, and the taste is good, it is the overall "good taste".

   Good taste, these three words are also the highest evaluation of a meal. It seems ordinary, but it is actually very demanding.

  Zi is the "longness" of ingredients, collocation, and heat. The taste is the icing on the cake and the finishing touch. A good taste means that when you eat it, it tastes good and tastes good. After eating it, the stomach is comfortable and the body's feedback is good.

  From good taste, to neutralization, to good taste, this is also a process from the outside to the inside, and then to both the outside and the inside.

The experience of traveling from south to north over the years, the sporadic popularity of Jia Gongzi, and the most important dream experience, these three pieces together, although Xu Guangling is not a chef, but fundamentally, he has actually understood the purpose of cooking .

   However, there is still a long way to go between understanding the purpose and becoming a master chef.

  This distance, walking, is actually easy to walk, there are not too many potholes in the middle, it is not difficult in terms of difficulty, but it takes time. And the experience in the dream makes up everything, well, I can't say everything, it makes up a lot.

Now let Xu Guangling create a dish by himself, which is probably impossible. If you let him cook a dish that he has never seen in his dreams, he will basically be blinded, so that the essence of parallel imports will undoubtedly be exposed, but let him "follow the tiger's painting". "Cat", draw a picture of seven or eight, the problem is still not big.

  Lao Zhang first looked at the soup in the bowl, then took it up and took a sip of the clear soup, or it would be more appropriate to take a sip.

   For this action, Xu Guangling gave him a like. - This is an expert.

  No matter what kind of soup, if the cooking and the heat are in place, the "sweetness" and "flavor" are always incorporated into the soup. It can also be said that the clear soup is the barometer of the soup. If the clear soup isn't that tasty, don't expect the whole soup to be tasty, that's impossible.

   So if you are a gourmet, you don’t need to use chopsticks or spoons to taste a soup, just like Zhang Lao is now, a small mouthful of clear soup is enough.

   And after this soup, Zhang Lao unsurprisingly gave Xu Guangling a compliment: "Not bad, humble words, somewhat level."

   This is actually a very high compliment.

   To expect a person who has dealt with many imperial chefs before, and who must have tasted an unknown number of imperial meals, will immediately be shocked after tasting the soup. That is really unlikely. ——At least this soup from Xu Guangling is not good.

   It’s just a matter of materials, so it’s not enough.

   The four ingredients used in this soup, except for the vermicelli, the other three can only be said to be quite satisfactory, they can be used to make up the number, but it is impossible to get a high score based on them.

However, after this compliment, Zhang Lao's second sentence was again: "Humble words, you are hurting my old man, this soup of yours is vaguely like the past, what can I do in the future? "

   "If the teacher likes it, the disciple can come and make it for your old man every day." Xu Guangling said, his sincerity is not at all tricky.

   But at this time he forgot that he didn't know much, just two or three to be precise. Others, that is completely out of hand!

However, Zhang Lao laughed when he heard this, then shook his head, "If God really knows, if the old man is wasting such a genius time, it is estimated that a nine-day lightning strikes down and takes the old man away. My humble words, your That's not how time is used, and it shouldn't be wasted here."

   Mr. Chen is not as particular as Mr. Zhang. He starts directly, and even eats and drinks.

   And just after a mouthful, he immediately put down the bowl, his face turned solemn and said: "No!"
