379 The one who speaks first is strong, and the one who speaks later is called mother
Many of the people present have been old face-to-face cases. After decades of life in the past, it is nonsense to say that they have never made date paste, but the masters present have calculated that one of them, but they have never seen such date paste.
There is no saying that it will be filtered afterwards. The bitter jujube skin may not be damaged at all. Other people's date paste is filtered out by gauze afterwards, and Zhou Dong's date paste is taken out directly.
A whole pot of dates has now become a "little red lantern" as transparent as paper, and they all look like works of art.
Gu Yanan suddenly became childish and walked over to blew gently at the empty shells of the dates piled on the table by Zhou Dong. She immediately rolled around the table, making her giggle: "Old Zhou, you are so good. You can take out such thin date skins."
Everyone was stunned. Mr. Gu and Chef Zhou have a different relationship?
Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, don't make these date shells. If you fill them with walnuts and pour some honey into them, it will be a very delicious snack."
Zhou Aiguo heard this and said, "Teacher, didn't you say that the aftertaste of the jujube shell is bitter and not easy to use?"
“Haha, this is the interaction between the ingredients.
In this sweet soup walnut cheese, not only do we need to remove all the date skin, but we cannot make the date skin damaged and exudate bitter taste during the removal process, otherwise this delicacy will be ruined.
But if it is what I said, "Date Clothes Walnut Crispy", it will be different. The taste after walnuts is a bit bitter, and eating walnuts is about 'bite first and then sweet'. Walnuts are about 'bite first and then sweet'. Wrap it in jujube not only does not increase bitterness, but also has more sweetness. This is the interaction between ingredients, not static."
Well said! Everyone was enlightened when they heard this. Gu Yacheng looked at Zhou Dong. Sure enough, the young master was well-known! Should he think clearly? If the Gu family’s financial resources and connections were mobilized to push him to that feast, will God know if people can come back?
If you are attracted by a "unspeakable nobleman", wouldn't the Gu family lose their wife and soldiers?
Zhou Dong handed over the dug date paste to Fatty and Zhou Aiguo, and asked them to use old rock sugar to melt water. While adding water to the date paste, they stirred evenly. They also gave a certain example of the amount of water and sugar.
The two of them went happily. What is the qualification to be diligent? Being able to make this almost lost "sweet soup walnut cheese" with a famous chef like Zhou Dong is the hardest qualification! When you go to any snack shop, you must at least be a master's ingredient!
After processing dates, it is a walnut that makes people feel troublesome. If it is more difficult to deal with the bitter skin in the walnut, it is easier to deal with the bitter skin than Zhou Dong to dig the dates, but it is more cumbersome. Walnuts are like the human brain, with ravines everywhere. If you want to remove the bitter skin, you can't hurt the walnut meat. How thin is this?
Everyone thought Zhou Dong had to spend more time on it, but they didn't expect that after he broke the walnuts one by one, he quickly roasted them on the fire, then picked a small mouth on the bitter skin, held a brush or swept back and forth, or occasionally rotated lightly, and the bitter skin was brushed off, and there was no need to break the walnut meat. The walnut meat was intact and placed there round and was very cute.
Some masters quietly picked up the walnut meat to check, and found that Zhou Dong was stripped very cleanly. Even in the deepest ravines, there was no half-star bitter skin left behind. They were shocked. No wonder this delicacy is about to be passed down. I am afraid that I will not be able to practice this craft in my life. It seems that I am more suitable to steam buns. Someone next to me immediately said, "You can't steam steamed buns, even if you can't steam them, how much can you learn from others' Goubuli?"
But walnuts cannot be treated like jujube paste, and they cannot be mashed in a bowl. It will lose too much oil in the walnuts. Zhou Dong completely cut the walnuts into mud with his knife skills. When the work was finally completed, some masters came over to look and found that there was no oil on the chopping board.
In martial arts, the knights are not bloodless when they are beaten, and Master Xiao Zhou is not oily when they are beaten! Although it is because of the extremely sharpness of the baby kitchen knife, this fast and accurate knife skills really surprised many people.
After the walnuts and red dates were processed, the rest was relatively simple. After looking at his Su brothers, Zhou Dong felt that the masters still had to let the students dip evenly in rain and dew, so he taught them to cook rice paste, walnut chips, and date paste together in a small medicine jar.
Originally, I should have used thin stew to cook this dessert, but unfortunately I can't find this kind of traditional kitchen utensils now. Although the medicine jar is also made of sand and mud, it is thicker than thin stew. This requires increasing the firepower and Zhou Dong must see the fire in person.
Zhou Dong just stood by and watched, and every time he had to control the fire to the point where the walnut cheese was about to overflow, and then immediately suppressed the fire without waiting for it to overflow. This cycle continued, making everyone frightened.
You should know that if the firepower is not controlled well, it will really overflow. The heat transfer of the medicine jar is slow and the heat reduction is slow. Even if the master on the stove is in trouble for many years, it may also fail.
Once the cheese sauce overflows, the jar of walnut cheese will lose all the essence, which will be considered useless.
Zhou Dong was like a veteran who used this kind of medicine jar. Everyone was nervous than watching people walk on tightropes. He seemed to be fine. While watching the fire, he did not forget to tell a few students how to judge the level of fire when they encountered such slow-heating vessels. He actually cooked a jar of walnut cheese while "teaching".
Seeing that the heat had arrived, Zhou Dong quickly turned off the fire and covered the medicine jar with the lid. But no matter how fast his hand was, a seductive sweet fragrance rose. It was not that sweet, as elegant as orchid, and it was mixed with a cold and faint fragrance.
What is the fragrance of cold cheese? It means that you cut a piece of high-quality cheese and smell it with your nose the moment you cut it. The smell is really fresher than fresh milk, as if you smelled from your mother when you were a child.
Gu Yacheng's eyes lit up suddenly. He went to have a meal with someone at the Kyoto party. He was obviously not in that circle. The descendant of the imperial chef had a big temper and made a small jar of sweet soup walnut cheese. He finally got less than half a bowl. After tasting it, it was unforgettable for a long time. As soon as the aroma in the jar came out, it immediately evoked his memories. It was this smell!
"Chef Zhou, walnut cheese is ready, are you giving us some points?"
Just because of the chefs in the kitchen, the one with his sister and the surname Long may not be enough to share this medicine jar, let alone a ticket outside who can't stay away! Gu Yacheng believes that at this time, the one who speaks first is the best, and then the one who speaks is called Mother.
Zhou Dong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this sweet soup walnut cheese is not fried liver. It should be eaten warm, and it is best to add a lid to restore the taste.
Fatty man patriotism, Su Da Su Er, continue.
These ingredients can produce seven or eight cans of walnut cheese, and the guests outside are waiting..."
The fried liver that Zhou Dong mentioned is a famous breakfast in Kyoto. Don’t think it’s a dish when you hear anything fried. This is actually a kind of soup, just drink it with buns, and it must be drunk hot, otherwise the smell of fishy smell will come out.
How hot is this thing? If you don’t understand, the skin will fall out of your mouth when you sip it in one sip! You have to drink this thing in a circle and drink it in a bowl. It’s so fragrant and hot. After drinking it, magma will spray in your mouth.
Everyone was drooling for ten minutes before Zhou Dong lifted the lid and put the sweet soup walnut cheese in a few lotus seed bowls, allowing the fat man and the others to share it with the Gu brother and sister Long and the guests waiting outside.
The chefs in the kitchen could only drool next to them. This was the breakfast department after all, and there was no reason why customers didn't eat it before their own people.
Gu Yanan looked down and saw that the small bowl of sweet soup walnut cheese was slightly purple. Because of the addition of rice paste, it turned into a bright purple color, which was dazzling under the light! At the same time, the jujube and walnut fragrance were swaying. It felt warm before I could drink it. I felt that my whole body was warm. I felt anger, and my bones thuddingly spread from my stomach.
This girl was shocked. Although she had never been hungry since she was a child, she had heard from several chefs of Jiuzhou Dingshi that this aura is called "greed" or "hungry", which is a normal physiological reaction for people. It is usually born when they see something they really want to eat. If they don't satisfy their cravings as soon as possible, they will have to drool and their stomachs will roar...
The ancient beauty was so scared. How embarrassing if her stomach was roaring? She quickly picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful of walnut cheese and put it into her mouth. At this time, she felt that Zhou Dong was too considerate, so she had to drink this thing warmly. If she was as impatient as her brother, she would probably burn herself to death if she didn't greed.
The walnut cheese was so sticky and sweet that girls liked the most. Gu Yanan couldn't bear to swallow it in one breath, and held the sticky thing around the lilac tongue. Every time she turned around, the fragrance in her mouth became even stronger.
I have never seen anyone who can make sweet soup with this taste. It is called soup, but when eaten, it looks like a slightly thinner jelly, with a lingering aroma, as if it is about to wrap other people's tongues!
It is necessary to use the tip of your tongue to pierce it. Because there are differences in sensitivity of people's taste buds, only the most sensitive tip of your tongue can feel the "cold cheese fragrance". But it doesn't matter. The bottom of the tongue has long been wrapped in the sweet and glutinous jujube paste. This is not the kind of sweet mouth that is tamped and violently. The jujube paste that combines walnut oil is perfectly integrated with the jujube paste while enhancing the taste, making the taste of this walnut cheese more lingering.
The taste of this sweet soup walnut cheese is as rich as her feelings for Zhou Dong. After a bowl of walnut cheese was eaten, Gu Yanan's pretty face turned red, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring.
Gu Yacheng had already eaten up all of them. Relying on the identity of the chairman, the great god Long, who was familiar with others, was lying on the mouth of the medicine jar to grab the remaining residue. If the fat man hadn't snatched the medicine jar, he would have been unwilling to accept that these two people would not lick the bottom of the jar.
The subsequent cans of sweet soup walnut cheese were placed in lotus seed bowls and were brought to the front hall by the waiter. The entire breakfast department was immediately filled with fragrance and overflowed onto the street, attracting many new customers. They had basically eaten breakfast a long time ago, but passed by here. As soon as they entered the door, they asked what dessert this was, it was so fragrant?
After the defendant had sold out, the new customers silently wrote down the name of the Jiuzhou Dingshi Breakfast Department before turning around and leaving. This scene almost made Liu Changqing's mouth skewed.
"Girl, Zhou Dong's craftsmanship will definitely not lose face even if he goes to the 'that feast'.
I am worried that his craft is too good now. If those "unspeakable nobles of the country" stay behind him, then we will not be able to cry..."
Gu Yacheng reluctantly glanced at the seven or eight medicine jars that had been empty, and lowered his voice in Gu Yanan's ear.
"I have confidence in Zhou Dong, and he has feelings for Jiuzhou Dingshi."
Gu Yanan said: "And now we have no way out."
Gu Yacheng nodded: "Okay, then let's start by putting together the 'Zhou Private Hall'.
This time I came here to attend the meeting as the chairman of Shangzhou Group. The opening of the private hall is a relatively 'private' thing for Zhou Dong, but it will have a more or less impact on the other cuisines. The other eight chefs always have to participate in the discussion.
These cuisines have always been both cooperation and competition. Once Zhou Dong’s private hall was established, it would have more or less impact on the previous eight major cuisines. I’m afraid... Some people will feel uncomfortable. If the internal chaos of Jiuzhou Dingshi is caused, it will be troublesome."
Gu Yanan nodded when she heard this. In fact, she was also worried.
***
The Gu brothers and sisters' worries are reasonable. Among the eight major cuisines of Jiuzhou Dingshi, except for Lu Chushen Shen, Su Chushang Shicheng, and Sichuan Cuisine Qin Chushang and Zhou Dong have a good relationship, the rest of them do not have much contact with Zhou Dong. Zhou's private hall opened, and no one can tell what these chefs are thinking.
Why is Jiuzhou Dingshi prosperous? First, because Chudu is located at the intersection of north and south, and there are guests of all kinds of flavors. Second, because the grade is high enough, isn’t it just a bit of face to treat guests to dinner these days? For example, Sichuan cuisine, Chef Qin cannot guarantee that every dish he has the best in Chudu. But when people in Chudu talk about Sichuan cuisine, they will still think of Jiuzhou Dingshi first.
In the past, there was competition between the eight chefs in Jiuzhou Dingshi. However, although everyone had a high or low strength, they were all in the same way as the same person. No matter how famous the name of Sichuan and Yue Shuangzun was, it was just a statement inside the hotel. They could not take away guests from other cuisines. The eight chefs called each other brothers and had equal status.
But now, Zhou Dong suddenly appeared, and the situation changed slightly.
Although everyone likes Zhou Dong, as a young man, as soon as the Zhou family's private hall appeared, the eight chefs on the top floor of the Jiuzhou Dingshi Pyramid became middle-level.
Isn’t this obvious? The eight major cuisines are all in the front hall business model, with separate seats and private rooms. No matter how high the grade is, it is a common model for hotels. Private halls are different. Not to mention that they occupy half of the 17th floor, they may not be able to sell a table of dishes a day when they open.
Who doesn’t know the reason why things are rare is expensive? Compared with the front hall of the eight major cuisines, Zhou Dong’s private hall is a ‘limited version’, and the status of the world is obviously different.
Gu Yacheng has also seen many competitive methods in the workplace. Just say that Zhou Dong is skilled in cooking and has his future brother-in-law to support him, but he can't stand these eight chefs. Are they all old chefs? If you want to figure out who they are going to plan, there are also various means that they are endless. I'm afraid they can't be guarded against!
Zhou Dong’s private hall is different from a big wine jar. Before the opening, Jiuzhou Dingshi would definitely hold a chef meeting. The purpose is to establish the status of the private hall, seek common ground while reserving differences, and prosper together... If he doesn’t come in person, he is really afraid that his sister will not be able to suppress the situation.
Zhou Dong has always had the most headaches about meetings, but he also knew that the Gu brothers and sisters were thinking about themselves, so he agreed, because the opening of the private hall was the day after tomorrow, and it was already imminent, so the chef's meeting was scheduled tomorrow morning.
Today, the big wine jar is not Zhou Dong's easter egg. After the breakfast office was finished, I thought of going home directly. During this period, I was competing in Xiangjiang. After I came back, I was busy teaching students and organizing the big wine jar. I didn't even take much time to accompany my parents.
Although my parents are still "young", they are still looking at the fifties. Zhou Dong feels a little guilty. He also wants to find an opportunity to persuade his parents. The villa in Fengqi Village has been built, and it is time for the family to close the business. Some time ago, I found a famous saying from the Internet and sent it to my father, "The world is so big, I want to go and see it." My father's mind also became alive.
After Huilongwo was converted into a residential attraction in Chudu, in order not to destroy the overall environmental atmosphere, several deep alleys were still preserved nearby. Zhou Dong's storefront and yard were at the entrance of the alley. There was a small parking lot here, which could only park more than a dozen cars. Although there were not many parking spaces, when the cars were out during the day, there were still a few left.
The situation today is a little different. Not only are the parking lots full, but there are also several cars parked on the curbs. Of course, someone had already been caught in the front window.
"Where do you get so many cars? There is also a parking lot at Huilongwo Attractions. People who come to play can't park here?"
Zhou Dong was very confused, but he didn't think much about it. He rode his bicycle and went to his own yard. Today is Saturday. As usual, the house's meat restaurant is about to be closed for rest. His parents should be at home.
Before I could enter the door, I heard the noise of the people in the yard. My mother's voice was still so loud, "Oh, it turns out that you are all Xiaodong's colleagues?"
I said, Xiaodong's colleagues are definitely indispensable in a hotel as big as Jiuzhou Dingshi, so why didn't he date his colleagues? In the past, he was young and ignorant and offended all his colleagues. Now, I feel relieved when you come.
Alas, you said you can come here, what other gifts should you bring? This is too polite..."
"Haha, Auntie, you have a misunderstanding. Isn't Chef Zhou busy? He first went to Xiangjiang to participate in the food competition, and after he came back, he organized a big wine jar to open, so we couldn't bother. He thought it was Saturday, so he came to visit him, but forgot that he was in the breakfast department today. This really caused trouble for uncles and aunts."
Zhou Dong was stunned when he heard this voice: "Isn't this Chef Shang from Su Chu? Why did he come to my house? And from my mother's words, it seems that he is not the only one who came here?
I go, you are fifty years old, and you actually come and call me aunty? It would be strange if my mother is happy!"
Chapter completed!
