I, Yan Ye, want to marry Shichen’s daughter

I, Yan Ye, Want to Marry the Daughter of a Time Minister Chapter 177

After all, this is a ritual that determines the food transportation of a country. If the use of fantasy ingredients can improve the quality, there will never be a fool to discard it.

The real reason lies in the understanding of cooking in the Central Plains District.

In the Central Plains area, traditional chefs have a very unique understanding of their views on cooking. For them, chefs are no different from warriors and Taoist priests. They are an exposition of their own "Tao". Therefore, the focus is not on sustenance. The carrier of Tao lies in its own Tao.

Therefore, the quality of the ingredients has no meaning to them. Even the old ingredients, as long as they are still in the category of "eatability" (that is, eating will not harm people), they can devote themselves to their cooking skills.

What they pursue is that Weili belong to itself, and it is the "way of eating" that can produce the most top dishes no matter what ingredients are used.

In the previous life, for players of the food department, the way of food, the righteousness of food, and the sound of food were completely incomprehensible through the character panel, but as long as you understand one of them, you can use your own abilities (only for food Tie) Bring back to reality.From this we can understand the importance of it.

Shiyi Yanye is not good at all, and the food sounds are even more confusing. Only the esophagus, under the influence of the big bald heads and several life menus of Shaolin Temple, finally touched a little margin.

It is precisely by this marginal that Yan Ye can call himself a cook in the Central Plains without blushing. Even if his blood is not in the Central Plains and his nationality is not in the Central Plains, his inheritance is an out-and-out Central Plains blood. ".

"I remember that there were four seeded players in this game in the last life. In addition to Steven Zhou and Tang Niu, there is also Zhao Wenzhuo...cough cough, Long Kunbao, besides that is the new moon from the east. Ying, as for the names of the other two miscellaneous fish, I can't remember the names of the other two miscellaneous fish. I just remember that even the four seeded contestants, Dou Chu, couldn't bear the momentum and faint.

Yan Ye recalled the story of the God of Cookery Contest in his previous life, wondering if he would post a post to attract the players to visit, but then he thought that his cooking heart was still in the groping stage, and it was impossible to beat Stephen. Zhou's sad ecstasy meal, or low-key food luck.

Although he was not a food department in his previous life, he had also participated in the God of Cookery Contest. At that time, he planned to resurrect You Yuko by conspiring to capture the Five Great Methods, so he focused on Xin Yueying’s cakes that could add stealth ability, in order to get her hands on He got the slap-sized cake, but he ran back and forth between the Far East and Central Plains, and finally found a sea bream that met her requirements, but that piece of cake actually played a role, otherwise he couldn’t cut it. Sap...

There are people coming and going at the registration site for the God of Cookery Competition. For most young chefs, participating in this competition is not so arrogant to put the goal above the championship. The ultimate pursuit of many people is probably just to enter the battlefield. , On the stage full of food fortune, break through your own limits.

Although the saying goes that soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers, but self-knowledge is necessary. In this game, those chefs who have passed the preliminaries always go to study with the prince, and the food fortune that can stand in the battlefield It's already pretty good, and those who are really destined for champions are those masters who can directly cook six-star dishes.

In fact, the reason why the rules stipulate the number of chefs rather than as long as the chefs who can make six-star dishes is mainly to give ordinary talents a chance to improve, and the remaining seats in the battlefield are rewards for them.

I have to say that the hunter license is useful everywhere. After showing the two-star hunter license with the Grand Wrist Medal, Yan Ye was immediately taken by the organizer to the VIP arena where only senior chefs who cannot be assessed by ordinary judges can enter the VIP arena. It is also the place where most seeded players advance. At this moment, five food critics who can often be seen in food magazines are sitting in the judging position, waiting for one dish after another to be on the table.

"I don't have a familiar face..." Yan Ye looked around, but didn't see Long Kunbao and Xinyueying. Stephen Zhou was still suffering in Shaolin Temple. As for Tang Niu, I'm afraid it was already done.

"Mr. Ma Tong, your registration form has been handed in. What kind of ingredients do you want?" The staff took a form to bring Yan Ye in front of him. After all, the number of participants in the preliminary contest was huge. To ensure fairness, The ingredients and spices used are provided by the conference.

"The hard streaky and big row of two black blackberries, new horseshoes, old flower mushrooms, Qiantang salt, Zhenjiang vinegar, Jinhua ham, only need to drip oil, and the oil needs to be hand-made peanut oil, and then another running pheasant... well, yes, frog Do you have them? Just breed them.” Yan Ye’s mouth was muttering complex ingredients, but the staff did not have the slightest surprise. Regardless of what Yan Ye said, it actually only delineated the origin, variety and processing methods of the ingredients. As long as a professional listened to it, he knew that he didn't mean to be critical. It was much better than yesterday's idiot who even demanded the birth and death of a pig!

However, out of identity, the staff member still said: "Our conference provides top soup, which is produced by igo's professional equipment, and many players use it directly..."

"No, I don't need that time. For things like broth, I'll just boil it and rest assured..."

For Yan Ye’s answer, the staff was not surprised. Yan Ye was not the first player to decide to make soup by himself. After all, in the Central Plains cuisine, the broth can be said to be the soul of the soul. He is willing to give the soul of his dishes to the machine chef. , It is better to use MSG directly!

ps: Some people say that the Michelin three-star is average, here is a popular science-if you really want to eat food, Michelin one-star and two-star are good choices, and the locals recommend small shops (of course) It’s not recommended by a tour guide, but a good local reputation. You can check the reputation through tourism or gourmet apps), but Samsung should not go, because the so-called Samsung is shady. If you don’t believe it, you can check the recent Samsung evaluation There are so many Japanese foods, and there are almost no restaurants in China. Of course, this shady is not about stuffing money, but another set of rules. Simply put, Samsung’s rating is not for you to eat, but for you to pretend. , The more requirements are environment, service, dishes, etc., so Japanese food is cheaper, while Chinese food is at a disadvantage.After all, there is a good saying in China, if you want to eat local characteristics, go to street stalls and don't go to hotels.Of course, if you want to eat Western food, you still have to go to those more expensive restaurants. Personal recommendation is just one or two stars. Samsung is for taking photos for you, and the taste is not as good as two stars.

Chapter 295 Cooking

Speaking of Chinese dishes, no matter Chuan, Lu, Yue, Huaiyang, there is a fresh word, and for authentic Central Plains chefs, a pot of delicious top soup is an indispensable skill.

In this way, the top soup seems to be very tall, but it is actually very simple, just one word-stew.

Use green onion and ginger to remove the fishy chicken and ribs, then simmer slowly with water at a ratio of 1:1:1, skimming the froth continuously, boil a pot of soup, and then use this as the base, according to the different methods of each school Add ingredients, and filter out impurities with ingredients such as minced meat, bean curd residue, and egg white to get a pot of superior top soup.

In addition to the basic local chicken and spare ribs, the inheritance of Yan Ye requires the addition of ham and frog, which is nothing more than the frog, but the ham needs the dripping part of Jinhua ham.

This drop of oil is not really dripping with oil and water, but refers to the part of the ham near the root of the leg. This area is most suitable for lifting the soup to enhance the flavor (the pot is also good for steaming, and if it is for direct drinking soup, the fire claw, That is, the ham in the position of the trotters is more suitable), although it is more troublesome to handle, it can greatly deepen the sense of taste.

Under normal circumstances, such a pot of soup can be burned for at least ten hours to complete, when the soup is transparent, like white water, when cooking dishes, it can be added instead of water to increase the freshness and flavor.

It's just that most people don't give up this kind of kung fu at all. Only large restaurants, or private kitchens, will continue to boil pots of soup day and night.

(The author used to simmer a pot in idle time, and finally took the clear soup noodles. After eating for five or six days, it was not greasy, but the soup was too troublesome and wasteful...)

However, at this time, Yan Ye did not intend to really spend a whole day here. With the surging internal force, the thin white clouds of smoke melted into the water and forced out the essence of the ingredients. Yan Ye just took care of herself. I skimmed the froth, and absorbed the impurities with minced meat and egg white. In less than half an hour, a pot of top soup that looked no different from plain water was completed.

At this time, just choose a cabbage heart to pierce the needle plate, and then pour a spoonful of top soup, it is the famous rebellion in Sichuan cuisine, a wonderful flower known for its freshness and elegance in a non-spicy atmosphere—— Boiling cabbage.

Of course, Yan Ye didn’t plan to do things so perfunctorily. Although this pot of clear soup has been perfected, the celebrity chefs that can be found in the world are like the crucian carp. It’s enough to change a preliminary ticket. To become a seeded player is a bit arrogant.

A dish that wants to leap from ordinary ingredients to extraordinary dishes based on cooking skills alone must require the chef himself to have skills beyond the ingredients themselves, but pure soup does not have such magical power.

If Yan Ye wants to make six-star cuisine, he still has to do what he is best at-his swordsman who has reached the master level.

Speaking of knives, most people might think of the knife method, the whole chicken boneless, and those who are a little more knowledgeable would think of the Wensi tofu and buckle three threads, but in fact, these dishes have the same problems as the boiled cabbage.

Take the Wensi tofu at the pinnacle of swordsmanship. A small piece of tofu is cut into hair-thin, and then cooked in fresh soup, but the problem is also obvious. It is the tofu shreds that concentrate the essence of swordsmanship. It is the essence of this dish. The shredded tofu is just for decoration. What you really eat is the soup.

In this way, no matter how exquisite the knife is, it is only the icing on the cake. On the contrary, it may highlight the lack of soup, resulting in the same superfluous consequences as it was at the beginning of the Yan Ye at the beginning of the year.

The dish that Yan Ye chose may not be associated with knife work by many people, but as long as you look at the previous ingredients, you can already tell its name. It belongs to Huaiyang cuisine as well as Vance Tofu. Classic dishes

Sunflower cut the meat.

Some people may not remember this name, but there is another name, I believe many people are familiar with it-lion head.

If four are put together, they can be called Sixi balls.

I believe that many people heard about this dish for the first time and saw it in a certain TV series. It’s okay, and so is the author.

(But like the author’s TV series, he taught himself how to do it after the broadcast, and I’m afraid it’s a small number of people who must serve the New Year’s Eve dinner every year...By the way, the author’s mother is good at Sichuan and Huaiyang cuisine. A bowl of Mapo tofu is the essence. , But you never thought that it was learned when I watched the Little Master of Zhonghua with me, not only Mapo Tofu, but almost all non-home cooking is learned by watching TV series or animation)

However, many people may not know that although this Sixi meatball seems to be a big meatball, in essence, it is completely different from the meatball.

The root of it lies in the big word "Zhan" in his scientific name!

Do not chop sunflower meat or minced meat, let alone chop it with a sharp knife. It is only qualified if it is chopped into pomegranate seed-sized meat with a good knife.

The material of this lion head is also exquisite. Yan Ye chose the hard ribs under the ribs of two blackberries. Logically speaking, this position was chosen to be fat and thin, but when Yan Ye was cut, it was fat and thin and cut separately. broken.

Although there is nothing in itself, when Yan Ye is under the sword, there is always a sentence in his mind: "Separate the fine from the fat, and cut it into scum..."

Of course, Yan Ye is not deliberately playing with the stalks, but the recipe is so required. The sunflower cut meat requires three fats and seven lean, not the slightest sloppy. As for the egg white starch, onion, ginger, garlic and other ingredients, you don’t need to mention it, but you need to add horseshoe diced. After stirring in one direction, the lion's head can form a ball, and then tap it with both hands to form a plush-like structure on the surface of the lion's head.The difference from ordinary recipes is that top soup is used instead of water. Naturally, there is less control of salt.

Speaking of lion heads, Yan Ye prefers braising, but in order to reflect the beauty of this pot of stock, he chooses a clear stew, and puts the stock in a small casserole. It is heated on a high fire and simmered slowly, even if there is internal strength. Aid, this steamed lion head also took a full two hours before it was finally completed.

Yan Ye's cooking movements have already attracted the attention of several judges, especially the superb knife skills, which has long been awaited by the judges who have been eating ordinary goods for a day.

When the five casserole pots were on the table, the lid was lifted, and golden light rose from the pot and went straight to the bullfighting for a long time. Even if the lights in the court were brightly lit, they couldn't hide the slightest trace of this light.

This is the profound meaning that can only be revealed after the mortal thing reaches the extreme-luminous cuisine!

ps1: This time I’ll have dinner at noon, I won’t entertain you anymore...

ps2: The date of birth and death is really not a joke that I just joked, but there is really the kind of neurosis that pays attention to this, you ask him what he can say to you in a serious way, what is the combination of the five elements, you and he is cooking and It’s not alchemy, and people do have kung fu in their hands, and you can’t prove that this thing really doesn’t exist. It’s like there were liar doctors looking for medicine to lead the way, what a pair of toads are made, what a cloudy day? The antler of a female deer in cloudy time sounds like a joke now.

Chapter 296 Lion Head·Starting to Eat?

"Yan Ye is back! Have you been promoted? Have you been promoted?" Yan Ye returned to the hotel room, and You Youzi who couldn't wait immediately rushed out, half hanging on Yan Ye, his tone full of expectation.

Yes, looking forward to it, she never felt that Yan Ye could not live through it from the beginning.
