Food starts from cooking

Chapter 155 Shock from Fat Fish, the Leader of Huaiyang Cuisine

"26 votes for braised pork!"

“18 votes for steamed sea bass!”

"Hot and sour cabbage 17 votes!"

"Braised lion head 15 votes!"

……

Zhou You was reading the votes. As for the voters, it was naturally the crew of "Legend of the White Snake".

Yesterday Zhou You talked about what to eat today, everyone voted, and then the top four appeared.

They are all very common dishes, which is normal, after all, it is a big pot of rice, you can't order boiled cabbage, right?
If you really want to order boiled cabbage in this kind of place, you can only eat boiled cabbage.

However, there are still some things that are more complicated to make, such as braised lion head!

Zhou You had made this dish before, and it was still made on the big banquet. Generally, he had to prepare it in advance. Of course, the reason why he ordered this dish was probably because it was originally a Huaiyang dish, and this dish was not well-known. small.

"Okay, just these four dishes for the afternoon!"

Hearing Zhou You singing tickets, many people who ordered food were delighted.

"Tsk tsk, braised lion head, you know, this is a famous dish in Huaiyang, the specialty of Lin'an West Lake Restaurant!"

"I heard that because of our drama, more people travel to Lai'an!"

"That's not true, you go to the West Lake to have a look, the flow of people is much more than before!"

"When this drama is fully aired, I'm afraid it will become Lin'an's new business card!"

New business card?
indeed so.

You know, after the first [-] episodes were aired, someone from the tourism bureau came to find Fangyuan, hoping that Fangyuan would be the image ambassador of Lin'an tourism, but she has not agreed to this matter, after all, this is not a simple contract, and at the same time It is also a responsibility.

Once she truly becomes the so-called city ambassador, she will have higher demands on her words and deeds. Of course, this is also an excellent thing for her.

Once I become an image ambassador, I am afraid that I will have the right to speak in Lin'an in the future.

Pork, rapeseed, carrots, shallots, ginger, starch, etc. are all ready.

Clean the onion and ginger, then cut into pieces, and then clean the rapeseed carrot and cut into small cubes.

Cut the pork into small pieces, then add pepper, starch, and soy sauce, stir well, and beat it repeatedly until it becomes elastic, and then make it into meatballs of the same size.

The reference ratio of meat is generally three points fat and seven points lean!
Heat up half a pot of oil, then pour the meatballs into the oil pan, fry until golden brown, remove the oil, then pour out the oil in the pot, add broth, soy sauce, onion, garlic, etc. and continue to cook until the meatballs are cooked through. Take out the meatballs and set aside.

Thicken the soup in the pot, pour it over the meatballs, and sprinkle with minced green onion.

Plates of braised lion heads appeared, and the group performers surrounded by them all began to salivate.

"Who ordered the braised lion head!"

"Me, me, me!"

"Good job, deserve a reward!"

This red and bright color makes people unable to move their eyes away at a glance. Although it is far away, it seems that they can still smell the aroma of meatballs, especially the thick gravy in the plate. If you pour a bowl of rice directly into it Stir it up and take a big bite with a spoon, how delicious it is!

……

"Crack!"

Hong Yuan shouted, stared at the camera for a long time, then nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, this shot is perfect!"

He is full of confidence in this "Legend of Subduing Demons", in which the hero is a small cook, and his master is a folk master of subduing demons.

Did you think the cooking spoon was just a spoon?
No, it's a magic weapon. Do you think that big iron pot that the master has been carrying is very ordinary?
No, that is the demon-refining cauldron that makes countless demon-subduing masters salivate and countless demons fear!

Among them, Lei Ting, the most popular male star in the industry, played the leading role!
Movies are different from TV dramas. The TV drama industry can be seen everywhere young and young, but movies are generally older. Is it because filmmakers don’t need to be young?No, it was because the performance required by the film was too demanding, and the young man couldn't bear it at all.

Therefore, although Thunder is 28 years old, this age is already considered young in the film industry.

And the male protagonist he plays is a help cook who travels all over the world with his master.

As for his master, he is not actually an official actor. This one is quite legendary, because he was a chef in his early years, and he was also the leader of Huaiyang cuisine. Live a high-quality gourmet TV series "The Taste of Things"!
The most important thing is that he also played the role in person. Although he is not the first male, he is also the second male!

The investment in this drama is not large, but... the ratings are not low, reaching 1.5, and it caused quite a commotion in Huaiyang.

Then this chubby, professional chef plunged headlong into the entertainment circle, and even slowly entered the film circle, becoming a guest actor.

This time, the hero's master is a chef. Hong Yuan thought of Fat Fish, and then invited him over. After dressing him up, it was really as he expected, and his acting skills were also very good.

"Tsk tsk, cooking with monster meat, thanks to director Hongyuan who can imagine it!"

Lei Ting patted the dirt on his body, smiled and said.

Fat Yu was also happy, and said: "If there are monsters in this world, I really want to try the taste of Dongpo meat made from the meat of monsters!"

Lei Ting laughed loudly when he heard this.

Although Fat Yu's status is very small, and he has never even played a leading role, his status is not low in reality.

In the land of Huaiyang, this person knows more people than Hongyuan, a great director.

It was time for lunch, and the actors were chatting while waiting for the meal.

Of course, actors at the level of the male protagonist Lei Ting and the female protagonist Mi Xue naturally have high-end restaurants to deliver food, and Fat Fish naturally also has them. It can be said that among the famous restaurant chefs in Lin'an, who doesn't know him!

only……

While waiting, Fat Fish sniffled suddenly.

After all, he is a chef, and his nose and tongue are more sensitive than ordinary people.

Seeing Teacher Fat Yu like this, Mi Xue couldn't help asking: "Mr. Fat Yu, what are you..."

Fat Fish continued to twitch his nose, and said for a while, "Braised lion's head!"

ha?
Fat Fish greeted the director and asked, "Director, is there a braised lion's head for today's box lunch?"

Hong Yuan looked confused, and turned to ask the assistant director, who shook his head: "No way, how could there be braised lion's head in the lunch box!"

Yes!

How could there be braised lion's head in the lunch box? Although the price of pork has dropped now, it is not so expensive, but...a real braised lion's head is a real meatball.

Did it smell wrong?
Fat Fish frowned, a little self-doubt!
Just after sitting down for a while, he patted his thigh.

Mi Xue and Lei Ting were stunned, they didn't know what happened to Mr. Fat Yu.

Immediately afterwards, Fat Fish was seen walking towards somewhere while twitching his nose.

No, there is no mistake, it is the smell of braised lion's head, and this taste...is very similar to his craftsmanship, with scallions, broth, just right!
Especially the rich and mellow meat flavor, this person's craftsmanship is not low!
Someone cooks on set?Or are you filming?

Although many filming scenes are fake, there are also real ones. For example, when he presided over the filming of "The Taste of Things", the knife skills, carving skills, stir-frying, and dishes in it were all real.

It can be said that in that one, the heroine was directly fattened, so that after a comparison, the face can be seen to be obviously round.

At that time, there was a lot of spoofing on the Internet because of this.

As the fat fish searched, the scent became clearer, stronger and closer.

at last……

Fat Fish saw the scene surrounded by crowds in the distance.

That smell came from that side, and after getting close, there was also the smell of other dishes.

Braised pork, steamed sea bass!

Obediently, this taste is absolutely amazing!
Fat Yu's eyes lit up, and he sniffed someone, with a dazed expression on his face.

ha?
work meal?
So this is the crew's work meal?
Only now did he see clearly that this is the crew of "Legend of the White Snake". These people are all crew members, including big actors, extras, and filming crews. There are quite a few people.

I don't know who shouted to line up, and then everyone lined up immediately.

There was no one around Fat Yu, and finally saw the person in front of the cauldron.

so young?

so handsome?

He thought he was at least a middle-aged man, and weighed at least 180 catties.

Fat fish pouted, everyone is a chef, can you look like a chef!
but……

Damn it, if I knew there was such a handsome chef, why did I go to the entertainment industry to find him when I was filming "The Taste of Things" before?

One by one, they took their own food, and then gobbled it up.

Fat Yu is a chef after all, he knows how to judge whether a dish is good or not, it doesn't matter what he says, the most important thing is to look at the guests.

And the extras here, the crew, are the guests.

From the way they ate, one could tell that the dishes tasted very good. After all, not all of them were reincarnated from starvation.

Finally, the people who took the lead were almost there, and Fat Yu also came up and asked with a smile: "Brother, can you let me have a taste!"

Zhou You was taken aback for a moment, looked at the remaining copies, and casually gave one to Fat Yu.

"Thank you!"

Fat Fish took the lunch box, and after opening it, there was one serving of rice and four other dishes.

Braised pork, halal sea bass, hot and sour cabbage, braised lion head!
Among them, the braised pork is about seven or eight yuan, half a sea bass, and two braised lion heads. This is a lot of weight. After all, these are real meat, not pure vegetarian dishes.

The braised pork is bright red, fat and thin, with a tangy aroma, shaking slightly, trembling slightly, even if you haven't eaten it yet, just by looking at the color, Fat Fish knows the taste of the braised pork is not bad.

The key is that the color is too positive, without three to five years of heating, it will not be able to burn this color at all.

He didn't taste the lion's head first, but put a piece of braised pork in his mouth!

The familiar aroma of the sauce diffused in the mouth, and immediately after, the tongue felt the sweetness and softness of the braised pork. With a little force, the whole braised pork collapsed in an instant, and it really melted in the mouth!
Braised pork is generally fat and thin, and some people are even six or seven fat, three or four thin, and these pieces of braised pork are three points thin and seven points fat.

but……

Even with so much fat in the mouth, it is fat but not greasy, greasy and palatable, the most important thing is that the salty and sweet, overflowing fragrance dilutes the greasiness, and the pork itself has a fishy smell.

Most people may not be able to taste it, but...

Whoever Fat Fish is, this tongue is his pride. Even if the braised pork he made himself is covered with a rich sauce, if you taste it carefully, the aftertaste will still have a slight fishy smell.

but……

These few pieces of braised pork have completely removed the last trace of fishy smell.

"Tsk, what a skill!"

Fat Fish took a deep breath, asked for a glass of water, rinsed his mouth, and chose steamed sea bass!
Although this is a Cantonese dish, but...

There is also steamed sea bass in Huaiyang cuisine, and it is similar to the local method in Canton.

Just looking at the appearance, it is understandable that the discount is greatly discounted. You can't give everyone a fish, so it is only half a fish.

but……

The fish was obviously separated before cooking. The juice that should have been poured on the fish was all in the belly of the fish, and shredded green onions were sprinkled on top.

After a little pulling with chopsticks, the fish meat slipped down and fell on the juice in the stomach, splashing pieces of oil, the fat fish picked up the piece of fish meat, and then ate it into his mouth!
The first thing I feel is the freshness and sweetness of the sauce. There are simple finished products sold in the supermarket for the sauce of steamed sea bass. Generally, you just need to take it apart and pour it on the sea bass.

Even some restaurants use this simple sauce, after all, ordinary customers can't eat it.

but……

As long as there is a little pursuit of the store, it is impossible to use this simple finished product, but you need to prepare it yourself!
One of the simple ingredients is light soy sauce, very fresh taste, cooking wine, and then add green onion, ginger and garlic. After boiling over low heat, add sugar, pepper and so on.

Although Fat Fish only took one bite, he had already tasted various seasonings.

Such as cooking wine, such as light soy sauce, such as sugar, such as rice wine and so on.

The sauce is a familiar taste, and it is obviously made by myself, not a simple product bought, which has already surprised Fat Fish.

then……

It is the tenderness of the fish!

Fish meat is already delicate, so halal can highlight the tenderness and smoothness of fish meat and its own sweetness.

This fish is very fresh, and the tender meat is paired with a delicious sauce to form an authentic steamed sea bass.

"just!"

Fat Fish's eyes became brighter and brighter. I didn't expect this steamed sea bass to taste so good.

took another sip of water, and...

I stared at the two braised lion heads, although they were still steaming, but... the outside is actually a bit cold. You know, any hot dishes, especially meat dishes, are best eaten while they are hot, let alone completely cold. Even if it is warm, the taste will change.

However, Fat Yu has eaten braised lion heads in various flavors. Although the soup tastes good, the braised lion heads are solid after all, so it looks like the outside is not hot enough, and the inside may burn your teeth.

He looked left and right at the braised lion head, no matter which direction he looked at it, the braised lion head was round.

This is the basic standard for a stewed lion head dish. After all... it is not cooked at home, so the appearance must be good-looking.

and……

These two balls are not only round and plump, but most importantly, they are the same size!
This not only proves the skill of the chef, but also proves that the chef made it with heart.

Fat Fish directly plunged his chopsticks into a ball, and as the ball turned, the juice flowing quietly on it suddenly changed direction.

And it wasn't very difficult to make the meatball just now, which shows that the meatball is not very solid.

The real thing is not porcelain. Some people made meatballs. In order to make people feel sincere, they almost made ham sausages.

But in fact, the real braised lion head is not like this. When you eat braised lion head, you don't want to eat more meat, but to eat real delicious food.

The gap is large, which just means that there is a lot of juice seeping in, just like when the chopsticks pierced the meatball just now, and even the juice splashed out, this is the real braised lion head.

Take a sip, and the mellow juice flowing from the skin flows into the mouth, arousing the sensitivity of the taste buds, and a more intense aroma penetrates into the nasal cavity, constantly aftertaste.

"Fuck!"

The fat fish was shocked, the smell...

It's almost the same as what I did, no, it's almost the same.

With chewing, the juice inside the bitten meat also flowed out, the juice mixed with the crispy aroma of the meat, people almost forgot even the words.

Soon, he ate up a braised lion head.

"how?"

Just as he closed his eyes and thought about it, someone suddenly spoke beside him.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the young man holding a water glass and staring at him with a smile.

Fat Yu looked serious, and praised: "Okay, especially this braised lion head, I can seriously say that this braised lion head will definitely make people step on the threshold!"

This is not flattery!
Lin'an doesn't know how many people want to eat his braised lion head, but he only has one person after all, so the supply is usually rationed, and if people know that there is another person who can make this taste, the threshold will definitely be broken.

And before he said that the taste is almost the same as his, it's not that the taste is one or two points away from his taste, but that it's one or two points different.

If you have to say which of the two is better, it depends on the nuances of personal taste.

After all, even if it is the same delicious food, some people like this one and not another one!

Zhou You had noticed Fat Fish a long time ago, after all, this size was placed here, and he even rinsed his mouth when he finished eating braised pork and steamed sea bass.

This is obviously the habit of professional judges!
Met a colleague!
After Fei Yu finished his evaluation, he also knew that the other party must have recognized his identity as a chef, so he introduced himself, saying, "My name is Yu Liang, but everyone calls me Fat Fish, and I am the owner of Lin'an Shiweixuan!"

Food Hall?
Zhou You thought about it, even the old lady mentioned this store to him earlier, and she was full of praise, but he didn't expect to meet here by such a coincidence.

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Zhou You said: "But I'm not from Lin'an, I'm from Longshi, and I usually burn mats in the village!"

Burn the mat?

Fat Yu was stunned, he thought that Zhou You was at least in charge of a big hotel, but this introduction...

After a long time, he came back to his senses and said anxiously: "Are you interested in coming to our Shiwei Pavilion? Don't worry, I will definitely give you enough treatment!"

Such a good talent, if you miss it, will you be struck by lightning?

Zhou You smiled, and just as he was about to refuse, he saw someone running over in a hurry.

"Teacher Fat Fish, Teacher Fat Fish!"

The assistant director of "Legend of Conquering the Demon" came, looked at Fat Yu helplessly and said, "Mr. Fat Yu, why did you come here? Your filming is about to start. The makeup teacher is looking for you!"

As he spoke, he suddenly said, "What's the smell? It's so fragrant?"

At the same time, he also saw the lunch box in Fat Yu's hand, and...the remaining braised lion's head.

Fat Yu slapped his forehead: "I forgot the time!" He quickly gave Zhou You his contact information.

"Get in touch later, don't leave!"

Fat Fish ran to the set with his lunch box.

"Teacher Fat Fish, what is this, so fragrant?"

The assistant director smacked his lips, his eyes were on the braised lion head and the remaining pieces of braised pork.

Seeing this, Fat Fish smiled, separated the braised lion head from the middle, and gave him half: "Try it!"

The assistant director picked up half a braised lion's head and stuffed it into his mouth. The next moment, his eyes widened.

What the hell!

This taste...

Before Fat Fish could ask what was going on, the assistant director snatched away the remaining half piece quickly, and stuffed it into his mouth with lightning speed.

"Fuck!"

Fat Yu came back to his senses and screamed, but unfortunately it was too late, the assistant director's mouth was puffed out like a King Gigi.

"Suffocate you!"

Fat Fish rolled his eyes: "Don't even want to eat braised pork!"

Close the lunch box and go back to the dressing room!

"Hey, that seems to be Teacher Fat Yu, and he has collaborated in a movie before!"

Watching Fat Yu and the assistant director of "Legend of the Demon" leave, Wang Li said with a smile.

"I heard that the job is a chef?"

"Naturally, Huaiyang cuisine is the leader, but later I heard that I fell in love with filming!"

"Tsk tsk, who do you think is better at cooking, Fat Yu or Zhou You?"

"It goes without saying, just look at the expression on Fat Fish's face when he eats the dishes cooked by Zhou You!"

"I don't think so!"

Bai Lu, Wang Li, and Fang Yuan started chatting. Seeing this, Zhou You said angrily, "Don't rush to shoot? I'm going back to Long City as soon as possible!"
