"Waiter, cut two pounds of high-quality beef, and bring a jar of good wine first! Twenty chickens are peeled and served!"

Which book is the most satisfying to read?

Don’t say it is "Water Margin". Although there are many descriptions of drinking and eating large pieces of meat, when it comes to the most detailed description of these grass-roots heroes eating Haisai, it is better to recommend the review of "Wu Song". The 600,000 words in the 600,000 words in the description of Wu Erlang's eating scene, which is simply the first food article in China.

In fact, it was impossible to kill cattle randomly in the Song Dynasty. There is only one reason why the authors described it like this. Braised beef and wine are the perfect match in the world. Even peanuts and pork head meat produced by Zhou Dong are still behind.

Not to mention that the pigs are too ruthless now, and the meat is so expensive that it is so expensive. Even the big wine jar with such a affordable price had to raise the pork head three times, which is almost up to the beef price.

Moreover, today's easter egg is Zhou Dong's Zhang Fei beef. Although only half a pound of beef is provided on a table, there are still constant shouts in the big wine jar. Someone patted the big wine jar and shouted: "If you cut two pounds of beef, you need a big knife to make a thick piece!"

The person next to him smiled and said, "How can you sell it to you so much for two pounds? Master Zhou's skills are content with half a pound.

And you won’t know that you won’t eat it. The meat is cut too thick and the taste will inevitably decrease. You should still have to be big and thin, otherwise it will cause teeth to be stuffed!"

"Put the teeth?

Haha, brother, you can say such words, which has exposed the essence of being a stick.

Do you think Zhang Fei beef is the kind of beef made by a half-bottle vinegar chef? To be honest, I just came back from Sichuan Province last month. Speaking of this beef, I have the most say in it..."

"Just brag, someone will believe it!"

The drinkers burst into laughter. This guy is also an old friend from the breakfast department. He is a big idle man. Since he came to the big wine jar, he has exposed his "willingness" nature. He is often exposed for bragging, but he is not annoyed. He will continue to brag next time...

After hearing this, the Niu Yuzhe didn't laugh with everyone. He nodded slightly and said, "The skin is as quiet as blood, the flesh is tender and has no residue, and it melts at the mouth. This person is not bragging, it is the characteristic of Zhang Fei beef in Langzhong."

"The skin is like ghost and the inner color is like blood?"

Wu Tingzeqi said: "Isn't it right?

I have also been to Langzhong and have eaten the so-called Zhang Fei beef. It is more tender and delicious than ordinary braised beef, and it has a strange fragrance, but it is not as what Brother San said, right?

Could it be that this person and third brother, you are eating authentic Zhang Fei beef? But I don’t eat authentic enough?"

"That's not... This guest has obviously been to Langzhong, otherwise he would not have said such words."

The Niu Yuzhe smiled and said, "I guess he heard these statements when he was eating Zhang Fei beef in Langzhong.

However, if we follow these standards, it will be difficult to find the 'authentic' Zhang Fei beef in Langzhong now. Isn't this difficult for Chef Zhou?"

He is a master of braised dishes, and his best beef is braised with this Fei beef, but even he can't make the "authentic" Zhang Fei beef that meets these standards. What he said just now was just an expert who said that it was just a matter of scaring laymen.

This has nothing to do with talent and hard work. The key is that although every chef knows how to cook beef, even on the chef, it is one thing, and it is another thing to do. It is simply because some of the details of the recipes of this famous dish are difficult to control. Even the "God Beggar Food and No Speech" who was circulating in his craft back then said that he could only work hard to recover to 90%.

Wu Rongrong also said before that Zhou Dong went to Langzhong to learn how to make Zhang Fei beef, and it took only a week to make a genius. He never believed that Zhou Dong could make the most authentic Zhang Fei beef, and he did not underestimate this young master.

Yan Xiang said, "So according to the third brother, Zhou Dong's easter egg today is gone?

Haha, the dignified Zhou noodles king, Zhou Jiushen, Zhentianguo, and the young master who is diligent in China, took out an inauthentic Zhang Fei beef as an easter egg, which is interesting."

He just lost face in the pet duck that Zhou Dong raised, and was depressed. Now that he heard that Zhou Dong could not make authentic Zhang Fei beef, he was naturally a little gloating: "Brother, are you sure no one can make authentic Zhang Fei beef? Isn't it just a braised beef? It's really that difficult?"

"It's not difficult, but it's too cumbersome, and the details are even more difficult to control!"

The Niu Yuzhe smiled and said, "It is impossible to say clearly in one sentence or two. When this flying beef is served, I will tell you the real thing to all brothers. You will understand why I said that."

Yan Xiang smiled and said, "That's true, this time it depends on your brother. The face of our fifth brother in Lao Xionggou seems to have to be found by your third brother."

Xiong Buer frowned slightly and said, "Lao San, if you say that even in Langzhong there is no more "authentic" Zhang Fei beef, then you can't blame Chef Zhou.

As long as his Zhang Fei beef can reach the average level in Langzhong, it is authentic.

If you take some legendary 'evaluation criteria' and insist that others are not doing it authentic enough, you can't do it yourself, and you will lose face in the end."

"Don't worry, brother, I know that at most this is just something that we brothers say...

After all, the standards I just mentioned have actually become legends.

The current Langzhong Zhang Fei beef is still a unique beef in China’s braised beef, and it’s authentic!

If Zhou Dong can achieve the average level in Langzhong, it would be very amazing. What qualifications do I have to blame others?"

Xiong Buer nodded: "It's good that you can think so. This time our brothers came to Chudu and played against Chef Zhou. It was because I owe the Fan family a huge favor, so I had to do it. In fact, I have implicated all the brothers..."

When a few people heard this, they hurriedly said, "Brother, how can you speak like this? Our brothers are living a life-long relationship, so where can they be implicated?"

"Well, it was my brother who said it wrong, but it is true that you brothers work hard for me, so I don't want you brothers to offend a diligent young master and may even become a god chef in the future.

Since I have agreed to Mr. Fan, I will naturally do my best to deal with Chef Zhou. However, this is a fair contest between colleagues and will never involve personal grudges. Regardless of winning or losing, you and my brothers are only gentlemen, not villains, and I hope everyone can remember it!”

The brothers nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, brother, you all understand what you mean. Don't worry, at most, we will never get to know Chef Zhou without fighting, and we will never become enemies."

The five brothers were chatting and the food had been served. The five people and ten pairs of eyes were the ten corners of the generals and the black meat placed on the center of the table.

Is this the famous Zhang Fei beef?

It shouldn't be said that Zhang Fei was born in the Romance, so you just make Zhang Fei beef like this? What's more, Zhang Fei in history is not a black charcoal head, it is said that he is a handsome guy with good writing.

This ball of meat is really black, "Asai's ice iron can be grayer than the bottom of the pot". It is about half a pound of portion, and there are vaguely fine cuts on it.

Cut the meat first and then stack it back to its original form. This method of treating braised dishes is not uncommon, but it is rare to be so fine in places like big wine jars.

"Brother, we brothers all listen to you and respect Chef Zhou, a young master who is diligent in China, but this plate of Zhang Fei beef is not enough to make people complain about it?

It’s pitch black like a piece of coal, and it’s also for people to eat? Is this still the easter egg that many people are looking forward to?”

Yan Xiang laughed: "San brother, you are an expert, what do you say?"

Since the Niu Yuzhe brought this plate of Zhang Fei beef, he has been silent and not speaking. He just stared at the plate of beef, with a very strange expression on his face.

Yan Xiangqi said: "Brother Third, what's wrong with you? Is this beef too badly done? I don't know how to criticize it?"

The bull talker didn't answer, and reached out to pull the beef in front of him, picked up the chopsticks and gently pushed it away.

Xiong Buer's eyes moved. He sat opposite Niu Yuzhe and saw very clearly. The third brother's hand had always been very stable, but today the hand holding chopsticks was shaking gently.

"Alas!"

As the bull whisper used chopsticks to push the beef away, it seemed as if a red sun suddenly jumped out of the depths of the Black Mountains. What caught everyone's eyes was a dazzling red color!

After being cut into slices by fine knife skills and being stacked again, everyone could see clearly that the beef was just as black as charcoal on the outer layer, while the beef cut inside was as red as blood, with first-class quality!

"The skin is as faint as it is, and its color is as blood. This is the real Zhang Fei beef!"

The chopsticks in Niu Yuzhe's hand fell to the table and his voice was still trembling slightly: "Just like the black Zhang Fei in the legend of the Romance of Legend, although his face was dark, he had a bold and loyal heart! It was exactly the same as the master and the old man said!"

When it comes to master, the five brothers of Lao Xionggou are all sad. Although this master, who has the position of Chinese God Chef, is strange in nature, even if he receives their life-saving grace, he only passes on one of their unique skills and then leaves, which really changes their wandering life.

Since the master refused to say goodbye, the five brothers have not been thinking about each other for a day. Today, I suddenly heard the master's comment on Zhang Fei's beef in the past, and I felt very close to Zhou Dong. Yan Xiang whispered: "So this kid is really so powerful? Let me try this beef..."

The Zhang Fei beef made by Zhou Dong is bright in color, which makes people feel particularly appetizing.

The so-called "melt in the mouth" does not melt instantly like cotton candy. The chewy and tender feeling that beef should have will not be less than the chewyness and tenderness that it should be against the teeth. However, the tough edges in the meat have long been removed by the skillful hand. With a slight bite, the gravy will immediately overflow. Until the end, the chewy feeling will not occur like tooth plugging.

In addition, the aroma of this beef is very unique, and it does not have the "strong mutton" unique to cows and sheep. The mutton smell has long turned into fresh fragrance during the cooking process, and there is a faint smell of flowers and grass. While enjoying the delicious food, the brothers felt a little dazed. They always felt like they had transformed into a happy calf, raising their four hooves and running hard on the endless grassland...

What are the patterns like beef, Kobe beef, and marble? The ingredients used by Zhou Dong may not be so noble, but the taste of this flying beef is fascinating. With his high cooking skills, he narrowed the distance between the ingredients.

A plate of beef was eaten silently by five people. The five people didn't speak for a long time. They were surprised and asked, "How did he do it?"

Sighs after sighs sounded one after another in the big wine jar, one after another. Any diner who had eaten this beef sighed, why is such delicious beef just an "eastern egg"? And Master Zhou may not lay the same "egg" every time...

"Lao San, you should know how to cook this Fei beef, right? Can it be made?"

Xiong Buer's calmness was also aroused by this Fei beef.

The brothers are also taught by the chefs. The third brother is proficient in braised dishes and is known as the "beef king" in the northern three provinces. He doesn't believe that Zhou Dong just went to Langzhong. He can do this level of Zhang Fei's beef in just one week. Why can't the third brother beef beef be the same?

"In addition to tasting Zhang Fei's beef from various families, Chef Zhou's trip to Langzhong should be more important than just proof of his genius idea of ​​restoring this ancient dish!"

The bull whisper sighed: "It is no secret to cook Zhang Fei's beef, but before Master Xiao Zhou, no chef could completely restore this dish..."

As he said that, he pointed to the empty dish plate and said, "Brother, brothers, do you know why the skin of Zhang Fei's beef is dark?

Because this beef is different from ordinary beef with sauce and braised beef, it not only requires the method of braised sauce, but also requires the process of marinating and adding external ingredients.

And the most important ingredients are not spices, but 'Hundred Herbs Frost'!"

"Baicao Frost?"

Wu Tingze frowned and said, "Third brother, although I don't know braised pork, I also know that this Baicao Frost is an nickname for the bottom of the pot.

You are not saying that you need to use the bottom of the pot to make this beef?”

"Haha, the ancients used hundreds of herbs to cook pots, so the bottom of the pot has the elegant name 'Baicao Frost'. Of course, Zhang Fei's beef cannot use any pan-bottom ash, but the real Baicao Frost."

The bull whisper sighed: "The process of making Zhang Fei beef is more than ten times more complicated than ordinary braised beef?

First, you need to use extremely skillful method of washing beef. You must rub it repeatedly to squeeze out the blood and water to make the meat loose, and control the strength and not damage the meat. You must also seal and marinate it in the tank. After leaving the tank, you must use Baicao Cream to repeatedly apply the meat surface. After entering the pot, you must carefully control the firepower and convert the civil and military fire for 18 times...

And among these programs, the most difficult thing is to make this Baicao Cream.

Baicao Cream is to burn the essence of Baicao with fire, and then smoked beef is formed on the surface of the beef, but what should be used for these Baicao? Even if the recipe is given to you, how should I match the dosage? When burning, what should I put it on the surface and what should I put it inside?

One hundred grasses change each other, how many changes should there be? And it also needs to be combined with the specific situation of the ingredients.

You should know that cattle are the same as humans. The temperament, living environment, growth process of each cow, whether the cow will fulfill its wish during the multiplication period, and whether the cow is happy enough? It will cause the meat quality of the cow to be slightly deviated.

Also, when making this beef, the area is different, the temperature and humidity are different, and the water quality is different. Aren’t these changes?

So for a dish of Zhangfei beef, you must not only consider the changes of the herbs, but also consider this kind of "customer changes". Therefore, you often adjust the types of the herbs and the proportion and dosage... Are you not difficult?"
