Chapter 494 Food

The back kitchen of the Grey Whale Restaurant had already arranged piles of ingredients neatly.

It's just that, unlike previous western food ingredients, the entire back kitchen today is filled with a rich, fresh floral fragrance.

"All the ingredients have been purchased neatly according to your requirements, and they have been prepared." Lu Yuan led Bai Yifan to the back kitchen and asked about the unprecedented floral fragrance, looking at the piles and piles neatly. With all kinds of ingredients, I couldn’t help but ask with some curiosity, “I said, you brought so many different flowers here, and let us concoct them in a special way. What do you want to do?”

"Have you heard of huashan?" Bai Yifan smiled and said casually, "Speaking, Huashan."

The chefs and helpers including Lu Yuan shook their heads.

Xiao Cai raised his hand weakly: "Is it a delicacy similar to the "Hundred Flower Banquet"? I heard that the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty likes to eat the most favorite food is the "Hundred Flower Banquet". But this is also the case. I don’t know if the rumours circulating in the market are true."

Although there are occasional dishes that eat flowers in western food, they are the "stunning skills" of some chefs and are not in the orthodox western dishes. For these chefs who specialize in western food, whether it is "flower food" or "Flower food" is mostly the first time I heard about it.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Bai Yifan smiled slightly, walked to a basin of cherry blossom petals soaked in salt water, and copied the kitchen knife placed on the table. The thumb and index finger of his right hand lightly hooked and picked them together directly. The carving knife was copied in his hand.

"The so-called flower delicacies and flower meals are the use of flowers as delicacies and the use of four-season flowers to make dishes or snacks. They originated in Daqin and have a history of more than two thousand years in China." Bai Yifan spoke, the carving knife in his hand was already fast. Hooked among the cherry blossom petals soaked in salt water.

The moment each cherry blossom is provoked from the salt water, the carving knife has already followed the veins of the petals to completely cut the part of the flower pedicle that the petals are connected to, and the pink petals that maintain the shape of the cherry blossoms are lightly It landed on a plate drawn by his left hand.

"Okay, don't look at it anymore." After Bai Yifan picked about more than 30 cherry blossoms, he turned to see Lu Yuan and the others still standing in place. He smiled and said, "I'm specializing in feasting tonight. Dim sum and soup, as for the staple food, it’s up to you."

Only then did Lu Yuan and the others react, and smirked a little embarrassedly, and walked towards their position.

It's just that everyone is very curious about this kind of flower food that eats flowers. When dealing with the ingredients of their respective western food staples, their eyes are constantly looking in the direction of Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan made a quick move. [Prop Card: Spatula of the Little Master of China (Elementary)] let him handle the different petals in the flower dishes with ease, and in a short while, he has completed the selection of all the ingredients.

Next, it is to make Lu Yuan, Xiao Cai and other chefs who have seen him take a shot, feel the amazing cooking skills——

The fresh petals of "Wisteria Flower" are impregnated with sugar to make a cake, which is a very famous pastry "Tengluo cake" in Yanjing.

Wrap the petals of white magnolia with wet flour, mix it with red bean paste, and put it in a pot for deep-frying, to make the famous "magnolia slice" at home and abroad.

The rose petals soaked with sugar are stewed with Coprinus comatus, fresh bamboo shoots, horn mushrooms, etc., and then the peach blossom petals that are picked when the peach blossoms are in full bloom and dried in the shade are added together with millet, japonica rice and a little glutinous rice to cook a porridge , The big fire is the "double pride health porridge" that can nourish health, beautify and beautify.

Stir-fried with rhododendron petals, broad beans, bacon, ham, etc. is the very famous "Cuckoo welcoming guests" of the Bai people.

The minced fish meat is made into a ball, fried with peanuts, mixed with pickled chrysanthemums, then wrapped in a thin layer of egg coat, and deep-fried again to make a "chrysanthemum fried minced ball" .

The pastries and delicacies eaten with flowers are cooked like exquisite works of art in Bai Yifan's culinary skills.

When the last soup made with seven petals, which was like a cocktail, was taken out of the freezer in the kitchen, all the chefs, including Lu Yuan, couldn't help but stare. He looked at the table full of "flowers" with an incredible face.

This is not just a dish, but a perfect fusion of medical skills and art. It is the Kuibao handed down from the Chinese food culture, and it is two completely different things from the rigorous Western food system.

"What kind of staple food is this?" Lu Yuan shook his head with a bitter smile, and said to Bai Yifan, "With your food and flower meal in front of you, even if we bring a large bowl of caviar on it, I am afraid there will be none. People will care."

A prophecy.

When a series of delicious, small and refreshing delicacies with flowers that are pleasing to the eye at first glance were served on the table that everyone was looking forward to, all the girls present had their eyes bright.

When the first piece of "Tengluo cake" was put into their mouths and gently bitten off, all the ladylike demeanors were thrown out of the sky.

This celebration banquet, unknowingly, became a food battlefield for the beauties. All the men rushed to another table to eat the black truffle caviar cooked by Lu Yuan and other chefs. French cuisine such as French fried foie gras, Wellington steak, etc., while Bai Yifan's delicacies have become the darling of beauties.

"Hey, it really deserves to be the man who made seven world-class chefs bow their heads obediently." Xiao Cai looked at the two very different tables, sighed with envy and disappointment, and asked Lu Yuan. "Master, do you think it is possible for me to reach half of Brother Bai's level someday in the future?"

"You--" Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head, "If you can reach my level in the future, even if your ancestors burned incense. As for Bai Yifan's cooking skills, it is no longer the talent gap that hard work and hard work can fill. Up." ,, ..
