Chapter 815 The shock of beef stew with potatoes!
Wang Zhihe happily stood in the kitchen with several other chefs watching Chu Yang cook. + When he asked for something, he immediately agreed loudly and asked his little apprentices to find him.
Wang Zhihe is the master chef of the guesthouse. He has been working here for more than 20 years. When it comes to cooking skills, the foodies in Zhongxian County know that as long as it is delicious, everyone in Zhongxian knows that Wang Zhihe in the guesthouse has some unique skills in cooking, one is the signature Dongpo pork, and the other is the steamed leek buns. These two dishes are a must-order for everyone who comes to the county guesthouse for dinner.
Although Zhongxian is not a famous county for food, people here are still very particular about food. It is possible for foodies in Zhongxian to admit that Wang Zhihe naturally has a good idea. His early skills were learned from a five-star chef in Yanjing. Although he has been in Zhongxian and has never left this skill, he has never left it.
Wang Zhihe is also very good at being a man. He is happy to see anyone, looking like a Buddha with a smile on his face.
In the past two days, two county magistrates lived in the guesthouse. These two county magistrates basically ate every meal here, and their meals were made by Wang Zhihe. Although he, Wang Zhihe, is not as famous as the one who makes stinky tofu, Wang Zhihe is not convinced when it comes to cooking.
When the county magistrate Chu came to the cafeteria in person, Wang Zhihe thought he wanted something to order. This county has been here for a few days. At first, Wang Zhihe felt that he was a deputy county magistrate so young, and he must be very proud. Who would have thought that after a few days of contact, Chu Yang always looked kind when he saw him, which also made him have a very good impression of the deputy county magistrate.
But today, the actions of Deputy County Magistrate Chu made him a little puzzled.
Because he actually had to go to the kitchen to cook.
When he first heard Deputy County Magistrate Chu's words, Wang Zhihe felt a little uneasy, thinking that what he made was not in line with the county magistrate's taste. However, the other party's explanation quickly calmed him down. Because Deputy County Magistrate Chu said that it was because his girlfriend came, he had to cook for himself. Wang Zhihe understood as soon as he heard it. This is a young man who is loving. He had done such a romantic tone when he was young, but he hadn't done it for many years.
"Uncle Wang, the beef is here." A young man wearing a white chef's uniform was carrying a plastic bag in his hand, containing two kilograms of high-quality beef kid meat. This was something he had just gone out to buy. Although there was beef in the canteen kitchen of the guesthouse, the best kid meat was gone. So Wang Zhihe asked his young man to go out to the market and buy some back.
"Okay." Wang Zhihe took the beef and asked casually: "Is it from the Old Zhou family?"
"Hehe, Uncle Wang, what you told me personally, can that be bad? Lao Zhou said, this is the best cow I just killed in the morning, I will keep it for you." The little chef said with a chuckling.
"Hehe. This Lao Zhou is just a good-mouthed person." Wang Zhihe said with a smile. He took out the beef, put it in the pool, washed it, and then placed it on the chopping board that belonged to him. He looked at Chu Yang and smiled and said, "Chu County, let me leave this to Lao Wang. What kind of thing do you want to cut? A piece or a piece?"
There were several Lao Wang's apprentices standing next to him, and they were surprised to see this scene. You know, their master is the oldest in the guesthouse, and even the director had to be polite when he saw him. There was not much cooking in person, let alone trying to help others. But it was not surprising that the other party was the county magistrate. But these people were a little curious. A county magistrate is still so young, can he cook? Can the things he made eat?
Chu Yang looked at Wang Zhihe and said with a smile: "No, Lao Wang, give me the knife."
"This... Chu County, don't cut your hands!" Wang Zhihe saw that the county magistrate of Xiao Chu was actually trying to cut meat by himself, and he was a little hesitant. However, the county magistrate wanted a knife, so he dared not not give it to him, but when he gave it, he did not forget to remind him.
"Haha, Lao Wang, you don't have to worry. I will do bother cooking. I know you are a chef in Zhongxian, but I will show you one thing today and let you see my amateur player's skills." Chu Yang said with a smile.
"Okay, then we'll really look at Chu County." Wang Zhihe said with a smile, and the others laughed and waited to see Chu Yang cook. These people all felt it was very fresh. Before this, they hadn't seen a county chief cook in person.
Chu Yang took the knife handed over by Wang Zhihe, looked at the piece of beef that had just been washed on the chopping board, stopped for a while, and suddenly his wrist moved.
At the same time, several chefs, including Wang Zhihe, saw a flash of sword light, and then a rhythmic "papapapa" sound came from the kitchen.
Well, don't get me wrong. This is not a picture that is not suitable for children. This sound is made by Chu Yang's blade and the meat piece on the chopping board.
Chu Yang's wrist was as flexible as a spirit snake, hooking, picking, slapping, and pulling. A kitchen knife accompanied his movements, constantly slapping the pieces of meat with the blade. The sound made was a strange rhythm, which sounded very magical.
Chu Yang gently used the knife to gently shatter every piece of fiber in the beef through small and soft power, while keeping it from destroying the whole. Such power control would probably be amazing even if the top Chinese chef saw it on the spot.
Chu Yanglu’s hand is not just for the sake of good looking. If you want to stew the beef delicious, the most difficult thing is to taste. Even if you use a pressure cooker and stew it for a long time, the taste will only float on the surface and go a little bit. The reason for this is that the texture of the beef itself is relatively strong and not easy to taste.
But Chu Yang's hand made the beef extremely soft and rotten. When it was made, it could fully penetrate the taste into the meat without changing the taste of the beef itself. Such a magical hand would definitely not be able to do without precise control of the force.
Wang Zhihe opened his mouth wide, looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly realized that he had learned all the cooking skills of his 20 years ago.
He also saw this skill of using a knife to slap meat to change the quality of meat. He was also seen by the top chef in the capital. He was amazed at that time and was a magical skill. He always wanted to learn this skill, but he could only learn the basics and could not master the exquisite power at all. Even so, his "Dongpo Pork" was also famous in Zhongxian. If he could fully master this skill, his reputation would be more than just the chef of Zhongxian.
A young man who is in his early twenties is not a chef, but he can actually use this skill to such an extent. Wang Zhihe even doubts whether this guy is the reincarnation of the chef god.
But the young men standing behind him couldn't understand this scene at all, and didn't know what County Magistrate Chu was doing.
In less than three minutes, Chu Yang had completely slapped the beef with soft force and was extremely loose. The next moment, he used his knife to fly. In less than ten seconds, he cut the piece of meat into two centimeters square pieces.
This skill immediately made many chefs present shout out "Okay"!
As a chef, the skill of cutting is not strong. It is an important aspect of measuring the level. Chu Yang's skill in cutting meat is both fast and stable. The cut pieces of meat are evenly sized, just like they are measured with a ruler. This hand alone calms the chefs present!
Anyone who has cooked it knows that cutting vegetables is easy to cut meat, especially the kind of meat you just bought. Soft meat is harder to cut than the ones you took out of the refrigerator. Because it is soft, the force is difficult to grasp when cutting, and the size and shape are even more difficult to control.
But Chu Yang's hand, he lifted the weight easily, and with just a few cuts, he cut the meat as evenly as a machine-divided. The chefs present could naturally see the difficulty of this skill and immediately put aside their contempt for Deputy County Magistrate Chu.
At first, I thought he was just playing around and ready to go up to help at any time, but now I have no such thoughts.
People with such skilled swordsmanship will have poor cooking skills? These people know that they are now looking humble in their studies, even Wang Zhihe is like this.
Chu Yang made beef stewed with potatoes, a very ordinary dish. In the guesthouse, I don’t know how many times this dish needs to be made every day, but now, Wang Zhihe looked at Chu Yang’s cooking without even blinking, as if it was the first time he saw someone else making this dish.
The potatoes are washed and peeled. Although Chu Yang wants to cook, he can't let him experience everything himself. If he starts like this, someone will naturally help him. Chu Yang doesn't mind the help of these people, but in the key links, he will naturally not let these people reach out.
As a sword light flew, three fresh, white potatoes turned into small pieces as even as beef. Then Chu Yang picked up the casserole with one hand, added oil and boiled it, put the onion, ginger, tangerine peel, star anise and other ingredients into the pot to stir-fry, put the fine salt and light soy sauce in seasoning, and then took out a small bottle from his body, twisted it open, poured a little powder and sprinkled it into the pot.
This small bottle contains a good thing. It was the colorful snow lotus that Chu Yang got on the top of the cliff when he was in Kunlun last time. After that, although Chu Yang refined the snow lotus into a beauty pill, it was not completely used up. There was still a little Chu Yang left and made it into medicine powder and carried it with you. Most people only know that this kind of thing can be used as medicine, but they don’t know that it is a top-notch ingredient. The ingredients with the thousand-year-old snow lotus powder naturally have a strange fragrance, and eating it can clear the heart and moisten the lungs, nourish the yin and the skin, is definitely a great tonic.
However, I guess not many people will really use this game as an ingredient. Even in the Five Continents, the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus is a relatively precious medicinal material, and no one is willing to eat it like this. Only a prodigal son like Chu Yang uses the Snow Lotus like this.
Wang Zhihe didn't know what was poured into the small bottle just now. He just felt that when the game was unscrewed, there was a strange fragrance that smelled refreshing, as if he had turned it on.
He was a little surprised, but he was tactful and did not ask on the spot. After seeing the sword skills of Deputy County Magistrate Chu, he knew that the other party's cooking skills were not simple, and he was probably inherited by famous teachers. And chefs like this usually have one or two secret hands, the powder in the small bottle, and Wang Zhihe probably was probably the same thing. He would not ask what it was, because it was a taboo in the industry.
After Chu Yang added these things, he put in warm water and scattered the beef and potato cubes, and then covered the lid.
Chu Yang is not a chef, but he is a cultivator, and he is a cultivator who has learned a lot. Chu Yang's current alchemy technique is comparable to that of the second-level alchemist in the Five Continents, and he can easily refine second-grade elixirs such as beauty pills, five aggregate pills. Each alchemist is a chef master himself. Because no one knows the nature of the ingredients better than them. However, most alchemists are just disdainful of doing such things.
Although the road to cultivation is long, every minute and every second is precious, and no one is willing to waste too much time. On some things that are not beneficial to cultivation, only after reaching the level of success, breaking the void and having an endless lifespan will those immortals use some hobbies to pass the time.
Chu Yang was an orphan since he was a child. For the sake of life, he has practiced good cooking skills since he was a child. When he was in Huayin Sect, he depended on his master Luo Qing for life, and almost all the food he had on his daily basis was contracted. He liked to study these things, so naturally he became a master of kitchen art over time. However, after he got here, he was busy practicing and looking for the guqin without sound every day, so he naturally had no chance to show his skills.
Today, after a long separation with Ding Ting, the two broke through the last obstacle. Chu Yang relaxed his mind and felt aroused on a whim, wanting to show his hands for her to taste.
As for when he was in the capital, although Chu Yang occasionally cooked, he was not as careful as he was today. However, with his cooking skills, even if he did it casually, it would taste the best.
The blue flame licked the bottom of the pot, and soon the broth inside rolled away, making a "gurgling" sound. At the same time, a strong meat fragrance overflowed from the pot.
Smelling this fragrance, everyone in the room couldn't help but swallow.
They are all people who soak in the kitchen every day. I haven’t seen any delicious food before? But at this moment, they couldn’t help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the soup. No wonder, it was Chu Yang’s beef, which was so fragrant.
After about twenty minutes of touching, just when the whole kitchen was filled with fragrance and even overflowing, Chu Yang finally lifted the lid of the pot, and his hands were busy for a while.
A bright red tomato was cut into more than a dozen even slices by him and threw it into the pot. The green coriander was pulled a few randomly and threw it into the pot. A few simple ingredients were thrown in, which immediately added another level to the aroma of the beef!
At this moment, it was time for the guesthouse to eat, and waiters came in one after another to start serving dishes. But at this moment, these chefs were all attracted by the pot of beef made by Chu Yang, so they had no time to cook!
"Lao Wang, what good things do you make? Why is it so fragrant?" Li Mingzhe's voice suddenly came out of the kitchen.
At the same time, he walked in.
"Li County?" Seeing Li Mingzhe come in, Wang Zhihe immediately greeted him.
"Well, let's see what good things you make, why is it so fragrant?" Li Mingzhe said as he walked into the kitchen, and finally saw Chu Yang, who was holding a large iron pot in one hand and serving beef in a big bowl.
"Old... Chu County? Why did you cook yourself?" Li Mingzhe saw Chu Yang and his eyes suddenly widened. The "Boss" sounded like a "Boss" had already rushed to his throat. Finally, he realized that this was a public place and swallowed it back.
When Chu Yang saw Li Mingzhe coming, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Li County is here to have dinner too. Haha, my girlfriend came to see me from Yanjing today and said she wanted to eat the dishes I cooked, so I can only cook myself."
Chu Yang was much calmer than Li Mingzhe. He said hello to him without showing any excuses.
However, Li Mingzhe was also very human. After being surprised in an instant, he immediately recovered.
He laughed and said, "Haha, Chu County cooks by himself? This is a rare thing. Let me see what delicious food you cook? Why is it so delicious?" Li Mingzhe said, and then walked over.
When he got closer, the fragrance that was as rich as the essence stimulated him to swallow his saliva. He had a dinner party today, and invited a leader from the city and his father's former subordinate. In the past two days, although Li Mingzhe didn't seem to do anything on the surface, he was actually not idle and had been paving the way for the relationship. After the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he knew very well that it would not work without the support of a group of people in carrying out his work.
Originally, he was passing by and attracted by the fragrance, but unexpectedly, when he saw Chu Yang cooking in person, he became interested immediately.
He only said he wanted to try Chu Yang's dishes, but he was very clever and did not ask who was coming because he knew that Chu Yang had more than one girlfriend.
Li Mingzhe took a spoon, picked up a piece of beef, and put it in his mouth without any hesitation. This mouthful of meat penetrated his mouth, which immediately made him widen his eyes!
Crispy, tender, fragrant, fresh... Li Mingzhe chewed this beef greedily, feeling that his mouth was filled with indescribable deliciousness. Just this beef made him feel that all the delicacies he had eaten before had become garbage!
With Li Mingzhe’s status, how many delicacies have you eaten? Even he has become like this, how fragrant is this pot of meat?
Seeing that County Magistrate Li didn't care about his image, he took a large piece and put it into his mouth. The chefs including Wang Zhihe swallowed again!
They also wanted to be like Li Mingzhe, but they didn't dare.
After all, it was a dish made by the county magistrate!
