Chapter 202 Ghost World
Chapter 202 Ghost World
To be honest, Peng Bai knew nothing about Western food at all, but after listening to Nicole's explanation of the process of making steak, Peng Bai felt that Western food was just like this. Of course, this was because Peng Bai didn't continue listening and was angry because of the four-word mantra of "industry secrets".
"Okay! I want to see if you can make real steak, don't let customers complain then!" Nicole provoked on the side.
"Tsk! I don't like broken Western food yet! The cooking skills I learned are not something that a low-energy chef like you can learn." Peng Bai replied disdainfully. Such an answer almost made Nicole's nose irritated.
With a "date", Nicole angrily threw the meat cutter in her hand on the chopping board where the beef tenderloin was placed.
"I don't like this kind of broken iron slice, and I won't use it." Peng Bai picked up Nicole's meat-cutter, weighed the weight of the meat-cutter, and threw the sharp meat-cutter aside with disdain.
"You..." Nicole was speechless again by Peng Bai.
Peng Bai unbuttoned the buttons of his suit and then pulled out his precious kitchen knife from behind.
"Look at the beef you cut, the thickness is different, and there are too many involved in the shredded meat. You can't even get the passing score of the knife skills." Peng Bai looked at Nicole's raw steak just now and said disdainfully.
Peng Bai was so angry that Nicole was just angry because Peng Bai suddenly felt that this little girl looked really good-looking. Not only that, this little girl was also very easy to get angry. Since that's the case, let her get angry for a while!
When Peng Bai commented on the raw steak that Nicole had cut, he was actually observing the thickness of the steak. According to Peng Bai's vision, the steak cut by Nicole was about five to seven centimeters. Such a thickness was very difficult for meat to cook. Peng Bai couldn't help but look at Nicole who was still angry and stood aside. This woman is not simple!
Peng Bai's right hand easily played with a knife flower and then pierced it on the wooden chopping board.
Cleaning his hands, drying, taking off his suit, putting on a white chef's robe, and putting on a chef's hat, Peng Bai immediately transformed from a bodyguard into a strong chef.
A whole beef tenderloin was placed in front of Peng Bai. Peng Bai picked up the kitchen knife in his hand, thought of what Nicole said just now, cut off the ends of the beef tenderloin and put it aside, and then skillfully cut the beef tenderloin into a five-centimeter-thick steak meat.
"Didn't Western food learn about Chinese food?" Peng Bai picked up the meat hammer and threw it to the side disdainfully and said. Meat hammers are usually only used by professional Western chefs. In ordinary families, if you want to cook steak, the tools you use are all the backs of the kitchen knife. However, Peng Bai looked at Nicole's meat-cutting knife and thought that if there was no meat hammer, I'm afraid the steak you cooked would not be able to be cut open.
Peng Bai did not directly turn the kitchen knife and used the back of the knife to shoot the raw steak, because if the same method was used, it could only be considered a variant at most. Ni would definitely not miss this opportunity to hit Peng Bai, so Peng Bai directly threw away the step of hammering the beef.
The only way to loosen the meat and make it easier to taste is not just the method of using a meat hammer or a knife-back shot. When Peng Bai was in Manhanlou, he achieved the result of the taste by massaged chicken breasts. Now, Peng Bai decided to use that trick to treat the beef.
The dazzling sword light of Peng Bai used the whirlwind sword technique. Peng Bai has reached the point of perfection of the whirlwind sword technique. In Tianyuan Temple, Peng Bai's fat monk godfather specially systematically trained Peng Bai's knife skills. Therefore, Peng Bai's whirlwind sword technique is now really cutting vegetables as much as he wants. It is not only fast, but also able to reach a certain thickness according to Peng Bai's meaning.
Peng Bai used the whirlwind knife method to cut the 57-bit flavored knife edges on the beef according to the direction of the shredded beef, then turned the beef and cut the 57-bit flavored knife edges on the other side. Peng Bai's whirlwind knife method only destroyed the shredded meat in the beef. Such beef will never make diners feel like they can't get stuck in their teeth or bite them.
Next, Peng Bai began to recall the taste of the steak that he had eaten with Zhu Wanqing in the private room just now. As a person who had undergone several special trainings, especially the taste training of the dishes, Peng Bai was able to easily tell the ingredients and how much ingredients the chef used in it.
"Garlic juice, butter, rum, onion..." Peng Bai thought about it and seemed that there was only such a small amount of steak he had just eaten.
"Breaking Western food is cutting corners. If you don't know what's half-cooked, the ingredients you use are so simple." Peng Bai secretly slandered Western food in his heart. However, Peng Bai is not a ignorant person. Using such simple ingredients can actually cook such delicious steak. Such a chef is naturally not a mediocre person. This Nicole can become the chef here, which is definitely not a false reputation.
Although he slandered Western food to death and respected Nicole, Peng Bai was still Peng Bai. Peng Bai's slogan was: Don't go the ordinary way. He did not use the methods used by others, but he could achieve the same effect.
Peng Bai poured black pepper, salty salt, rum, soy sauce, sesame oil and olive oil into a small bowl, then put the steak in a small pot, poured the mixed ingredients already made, and gently rubbed it with both hands. Peng Bai did not dare to use force because this time was different from the last time in Manhan Tower. The last time the chicken was changed to the knife, and the shredded meat in the chicken was not completely broken. You can use a little force. Even if you use too much force, it doesn’t matter if the chicken breast is turned into diced chicken, because it is needed for cooking. But now it is completely different, because Peng Bai has cut off all the shredded meat on the surface of this steak. Therefore, if you use too much force, the steak will probably turn into minced beef.
After rubbing this for two minutes, Peng Bai took out the steak from the soup and placed it on a clean plate to set aside.
"It will be delicious in two minutes? Humph! You can wait to answer the customer's complaint!" Nicole looked at the clock on the wall and calculated the time for Peng Bai. When Nicole saw that Peng Bai had completed at least ten kinds of work she usually had to do, she snorted disdainfully, then walked to the side and looked at Peng Bai coldly.
Peng Bai won’t care what Nicole said! Nicole is definitely not Peng Bai’s opponent in verbal battles, but Peng Bai does not have this leisure. Whenever Peng Bai starts cooking, he will devote himself to cooking. Now, don’t say a few words to Nicole, even Nicole yells at Peng Bai, I’m afraid Peng Bai won’t hear it.
Knock a spoonful of butter on the heated iron plate, and Peng Bai used a flat spatula specially used a steak to cook the butter evenly on the iron plate, but the application range was not large, just like the area of this steak was slightly larger.
"The key to barbecue is to heat evenly." Peng Bai silently recited the words in his mind, then placed the steak on butter and gently patted it, and at the same time, he spread a large piece of butter on the steak.
"Tsk! It's just a layman, so why are you a great character?" Nicole said in a low voice when she saw Peng Bai's actions. Because Peng Bai had just started cutting raw beef, the steps were not the method used in Western cuisine. If you have to say what Peng Bai is doing, then you can only say that Peng Bai is now cooking Western cuisine.
Speaking of barbecue, Peng Bai is definitely a master. Since he is a master, it is naturally not very difficult to deal with such roast beef. In the past, when Peng Bai was in the primeval forest, there was not so much barbecue! Now there is enough ingredients here, what are Peng Bai afraid of?
The butter applied to the steak quickly melted due to the increase in temperature. Peng Bai did not turn the steak over, but gently inserted it into the lower part of the steak with a flat spatula, and then gently tilted the steak so that the butter flowing down on it could enter the lower part of the steak. At the same time, slowly rotate the steak so that the steak would not be cooked in raw and cooked due to the local high temperature of the iron plate below.
"Give the plate." Peng Bai shouted loudly, and Zhu Wanqing, who was following Peng Bai, immediately handed over a clean, exquisitely patterned empty plate.
"Thank you, beauty." Peng Bai was in a good mood because he cooked Western food with Chinese cooking skills. He could even tease the beautiful Zhu Wanqing when he took the plate. Of course, the voice was very small. Except for Peng Bai and Zhu Wanqing, no third person could hear it.
Peng Bai used a flat shovel to shovel the steak onto an empty plate, then used carrot strips and cucumber strips on the side. As you saw in the private room just now, they were placed on the steak, and then used some small vegetables to match the steak.
"It seems that something is missing." Peng Bai thought strangely when he looked at the steak he cooked.
"By the way, the sauce." Peng Bai finally thought of what was missing, which was the sauce. Among the steaks, sauce is an indispensable seasoning. A good sauce can make the steak taste more delicious and taste smoother.
Heat the butter and melt it, add minced garlic and chopped onion and stir-fry, then add black pepper and stir-fry, add water, fresh cream and salt to boil, thicken it with flour water before starting the pot, and add rum to make it.
Pour the sauce on top of the steak and a black pepper steak is done.
"Strange, how did he know about the black pepper sauce?" Nicole thought strangely. She knew that Peng Bai had obtained a new skill after special training - he could immediately distinguish the ingredients after eating.
"Hmph! You're waiting for the customer to complain about you!" Nicole said coldly as the waiter brought the steak.
Peng Bai has heard Nicole say this many times tonight, and he doesn't care if he gets used to it. Peng Bai smiled and didn't say anything, cleansed his hands, then put on his suit and stood beside Zhu Wanqing.
Zhu Minghe didn't know what to say at this moment, so he could only look at Nicole and Peng Bai with wide eyes looking at each other.
Time passed quickly. Just as Zhu Minghe was about to finish his work today and went back to rest, the waiter trotted into the back hall, and then whispered something in the ear of the back hall manager.
The manager of the back hall cleared his throat, and it was obvious that he had become a judge now.
"Mr. Xuanyuan Cangjian said that the steak tasted very good tonight, so he gave him an extra 100 yuan tip. Then Mr. Xuanyuan Cangjian bought three orders in total."
As soon as the manager of the back hall said, Peng Bai was calm, Zhu Wanqing's praise, Zhu Minghe's surprise, and Nicole's surprise, each of them showed different expressions.
"Three portions?" Zhu Minghe asked strangely. Xuanyuan Cangjian felt that the steak cooked by Peng Bai tasted so good, which made Zhu Minghe very happy, but why did he buy three portions?
Zhu Wanqing smiled and went up to tell the story of the matter once. Zhu Minghe also laughed. Zhu Minghe would not interfere with the matter between the children. Of course, Zhu Minghe only thought of Xuanyuan Cangjian paying Zhu Wanqing's pocket and did not ask to check the bill. Otherwise, Zhu Minghe would immediately know what Mingyue and Mingjing had eaten.
"Uncle Zhu, we can go back!" Peng Bai asked Zhu Minghe with a smile.
"Oh! OK." Zhu Minghe looked at Nicole who was reluctant to speak and nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself: I really found a treasure this time! But now I should flash my head! If Nicole resigns because of this matter, that would be a real loss!
Peng Bai and others walked back to Zhu Minghe's Heavenly Food Group headquarters. Zhu Wanqing showed a little disagreement with Peng Bai in front of her mother. She didn't say much except to say hello to her room. Peng Bai entered Mingyue and Mingjing and went to chat, and she had nothing to do all night.
Xuanyuan Cangjian left the Western Restaurant with anger. It was not a big deal to pay for Zhu Wanqing. The manager of the front hall also knew Xuanyuan Cangjian's true identity, so he didn't want to give the lady's order to Xuanyuan Cangjian. However, Xuanyuan Cangjian didn't want his image in Zhu Wanqing's mind to become a villain who was untrustworthy. Therefore, Xuanyuan Cangjian was very sure to pay for Zhu Wanqing. The result was good. Although the money was not much, it was a drop in the bucket for Xuanyuan Cangjian. However, Xuanyuan Cangjian was still stunned by the numbers on the bill. A meal actually cost 87,000 yuan. This was the price after the discount was made with Xuanyuan Cangjian's diamond card.
"Is anyone the legendary elephant? It's so edible!" Xuanyuan Cangjian directly listed all the dishes on the bill as eaten by Peng Bai, and directly ignored the real situation of Peng Bai and two friends.
"Young master, what fat guy's information can't be found at all?" Xuanyuan Cangjian's follower whispered to Xuanyuan Cangjian.
"I can't find out? What does it mean? Love is like a battlefield! Don't you know? If you can't know yourself and your enemy, how can you win the hearts of a beautiful woman?" Xuanyuan Cangjian shouted with some depression.
"Brother, you can pick up girls as soon as you pick up girls. What information can you do? We are not an Eastern Regional Survey Department. Just use money to smash the beauty into bed. What kind of guys are you investigating? Could it be that you have a special hobby?" Xuanyuan Cangjian's follower cried in his heart. Of course, this sentence can only be thought about. If he really said it, he might be laid off tomorrow and go home to sell tea eggs.
"Who, he is not from the city, so there is no information available. However, I have asked my friends from the police station to investigate this person through the criminal network." What Xuanyuan Cangjian thought in his heart and said in his mouth would not be the same.
"That's good, tomorrow, do I have any work to do tomorrow?" Xuanyuan Cangjian asked.
"Young Master, at 6 o'clock tomorrow evening, I'll make an appointment with Mr. Zhu of Heaven Food Group for you to meet at Shangniao Coffee." Xuanyuan Cangjian's follower opened the secretary's bag, carefully looked at the itinerary inside, and then told Xuanyuan Cangjian that Xuanyuan Cangjian would definitely think it was the most important thing.
Originally, Zhu Minghe wanted to invite Peng Bai to his other hotels for visiting and guidance. After all, such a talented person is not in vain. With the relationship between his daughter and Peng Bai, I believe Peng Bai will never refuse. However, when Zhu Minghe got up in the morning and sat in the office and the secretary listed the business that he needed to handle today, Zhu Minghe knew that he had no time today, so he asked the secretary to tell Zhu Wanqing that Zhu Wanqing would take Peng Bai to have a tour in the city today, but he must arrive at Shangniao Coffee at 8 o'clock in the evening because an important guest needed Zhu Wanqing to meet.
Since it was a trip, Zhu Wanqing naturally would not foolishly take Peng Bai to his hotel for some tour guide. Zhu Wanqing chose to drive Peng Bai and Mingyue Mingjing out for a real trip.
Ghost world.
"What are you doing for? I have read the recent entry and exit records, and there are quite a few ghosts coming in, but why are they going out so many times?" The King of Hell looked at the entry and exit records of the ghost world and the human world and asked Zhao Fengyun angrily.
Zhao Fengyun was timid and finally got it over. The King of Hell would not punish him for such a thing.
Chapter completed!
