Gourmet food starts from the green leather train chef

Chapter 231 Five Flower Wild Python
"Master Xiao Zhou, do you really understand? Don't you have to admit defeat before the competition?"

After hearing what Zhou Zhou said, Wu Jiutong shook his head repeatedly, and Su Rou also looked at Zhou Zhou with some anxiety; today she brought Zhou Zhou to Tiangang Tower to compete with Michelin, if Zhou Zhou loses, it would be tantamount to a 'day' Three meals' lost for a while.

"Haha, good! Master Xiao Zhou is indeed an expert, and Yuan admires it."

People carried people in bridal sedan chairs. Although Yuan Xun was proud, he did not forget to compliment Zhou Zhou.

"Hehe, Master Yuan, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet.

Snake soup is different from meat soup. Snake meat is tender and tender. If it is cooked for a long time, it will inevitably become tough. If it is cooked for a short time, the nutrients in the snake meat will not be extracted.

Therefore, to make snake soup, chefs usually cut snake meat into shreds or cubes first, and pay attention to the heat when cooking; so this soup is also called "the base of the world's kitchen", which means a soup It is necessary to test the chef's material selection, knife skills, fire control and other skills, and even if the basic skills are weak, it will not work."

The opponent is too strong, although Zhouzhou is very distressed about his perception value, Zhou Zhou still has to activate the "myth on the tip of the tongue". Once this skill is activated, not only can he be able to hit the nail on the head when commenting, but he can also easily earn a top-notch recipe; For an ordinary chef, it is difficult to beat him just by searching for recipes and adding sentiment points.

"Oh? Is Master Zhou also an expert in making snake soup, so I need your advice."

Yuan Xun was secretly startled, Zhou Zhou's comments hit the key points, this is not something that ordinary chefs can do, could it be that he really met his opponent today?
"The most difficult part of making snake soup is using a knife."

It is not easy to convince a famous chef like Yuan Xing, Zhou Zhou was not in a hurry, he just talked about it.

"To make the snake soup just right, it is not about shredding and dicing, but cutting the snake meat into even slices. The thickness of each slice should be controlled at about [-]mm. It becomes boiled snake meat, which is difficult to mix with the soup. Master Yuan, is that what you said?"

"You know this too?"

Even in the hands of famous Cantonese chefs, there are various ways to make snake soup, each with its own mysteries. It is quite controversial whether to slice, dice or shred when serving the pot.

Cutting into [-]mm thin slices is Yuan Chi's secret. The reason is that snakes have a piece of cartilage that penetrates the whole body. Consistent meat slices require excellent knife skills and techniques, but unexpectedly, Zhou Zhou pointed it out.

He was shocked in his heart, and looked at Zhou Zhou in amazement, but he didn't know that the person on the opposite side was a jerk, even if he just took a bite, he 'tasted' out his little stuff that was at the bottom of the box.

"Of course I know this, it's just a pity."

Zhou Zhou shook his head with a smile and said, "Manpower is sometimes exhausted. Although Master Yuan is top-notch in knife skills, he still hasn't been able to achieve true perfection."

"You keep talking."

Yuan Xun didn't care to hide it anymore, she was anxious when she heard it, and just urged Zhou Zhou to speak quickly.

"The fishy smell of a snake does not lie in its flesh or blood, but in its bones!

Therefore, every chef who cooks snake soup must avoid the cartilage of the snake body and cut it into cubes or shreds from the side, but it is not as delicious and nourishing as sliced.
And slicing will inevitably damage the cartilage, causing the snake soup to have a fishy smell, so it must be suppressed with aniseed ingredients or even white wine, but in this way, the taste of the snake soup will be destroyed.”

Zhou Zhou smiled and said: "However, there is no aniseed or alcohol smell in Master Yuan's soup, which means that your branch has a unique sword technique, and you have avoided the cartilage of the snake's body as much as possible, so you will operate like this. Is it right?"

"you"

Yuan Xun was completely stunned.

When making snake soup, whether to slice or shred and dice is actually very important. To make the snake soup reach the level of nourishment and nourishment, it must be sliced ​​with a straight knife along the body of the snake, because only by cutting the knife in this way can it be To ensure that the natural texture of the snake meat and the density of the meat are not destroyed, the nutrients of the snake meat can be released more evenly when cooking soup, but whether it is diced or shredded, it is actually a kind of natural texture of the snake meat Destruction, if you do that, no matter how long the fortress takes, what you get in the end is just inferior meat soup
This secret is actually not a secret, and many chefs understand it, but few people can really solve it.

Even he has studied it for many years, even so, he still can't avoid the cartilage of the snake body [-]%, it will also cause fishy smell in the soup, but he has another way to make up for it, ordinary people and even gourmets can't eat it.

Now that Zhou Zhou said it clearly and logically, could it be that this kid actually "sees the same thing as a hero" and has also practiced the same saber skills as himself?
"You used the ring knife method?"

Zhou Zhou smiled slightly and said, "This saber technique is pretty good, but it's a pity that humans are not machines, no matter how subtle the saber technique is, as long as the heart is still beating, the hands will shake, even a trained chef is no exception.

When I say that Master Yuan has achieved the ultimate, it means that when you made this pot of snake soup, you not only showed first-class fire control skills, but also the knife skills you used have reached your own peak.
If I'm not mistaken, you should have achieved [-]%. Although you will touch the cartilage of the snake's body, you will not leak too much fishy smell. The most rare thing is that you will make up for the deficiency with your heart, so it is considered to have reached your extreme. It's a pity that you The ultimate, but not equal to the real perfection. "

"This young Master Zhou is amazing, but Master Yuan's face changed when he heard that."

Zhou Zhou's voice was not loud, but the diners on the second floor were listening attentively. There was silence upstairs at the moment, and his words were immediately heard clearly by everyone.

These people are also masters who know how to eat. After listening to Zhou Zhou's words, and thinking back on the snake soup I once drank, I feel that it is true. And now that I think about it, the snake soup I drank just now seems to be really fishy?

"Master Zhou Zhou, can you even eat this?"

When Yuan Xun said this, he took a look at Wu Jiutong, and thought that he would have to throw away the goods if he compared the goods. Why do you still claim to be the number one 'poisonous snake' in the gourmet world?Look at Master Zhou, this is really good at eating!

Wu Jiutong felt inexplicable, and thought to himself, are you dumbfounded, are you looking at what my old man is doing?
"Hehe, the snake from Changbai Mountain is paired with the hot spring water from Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain. You are turning the original soup into the original food."

Zhou Zhou sneaked into the system and took the top recipe 'Extremely Taste Snake Soup' that was rewarded for his review of snake soup, he felt relieved secretly.

Stirred the bowl with a spoon, sniffed it lightly, nodded and said: "It's true, this is Tianchi hot spring water.

The hot springs in Changbai Mountain are originally hot springs flowing from the center of the earth, with minerals mainly sulfur ; This kind of substance can dilute the fishy smell of snakes and insects, and using this kind of water to make snake soup is much better than using any big-cooked white wine."

"But this water alone is not enough. In order to completely eliminate the fishy smell, Master Yuan should have fed snakes with medicinal materials such as Polygonum multiflorum and Angelica.

These snakes have eaten the medicinal materials, and the fishy smell in their bones has been relieved. This set of internal and external training methods just makes up for your lack of sword skills, so this soup has reached first-class standards, but the cost is a bit high. .So, everyone misunderstood Master Yuan, but Master Yuan did not sell at a high price, this bowl of snake soup is worth the price! "

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhou laughed again: "To compete with me, Master Yuan sells these snake soups at a low price. I'm afraid he will have to pay a lot of money? You really have a big heart and courage."

Yuan Xing stopped talking completely, and stared blankly at Zhou Zhou, feeling extremely regretful in his heart.

If he knew this earlier, he wouldn't make Zhou Zhou open his mouth to comment if he was killed?

This is great, Zhouzhou not only exposed his secrets, but also told him the secrets of feeding snakes with Changbai water and medicinal materials. If anyone here is with you, then you Isn't it a big loss?
"Master Zhou, stop talking, stop talking"

Yuan Jiao rubbed her hands anxiously, sweating all over her head.

"Haha, Master Yuan, are you admitting defeat?"

Grandpa Zhang Zhouxuan laughed out loud. He also admires Yuan Xun's cooking skills very much. As long as Yuan Xun is willing to bow his head and stop praising Michelin's stinky feet from now on, today's goal will be achieved.

"I"

Although Yuan Xun has an arrogant temper, he has a good point. He really admires someone who is really capable, so he wanted to admit defeat at that time.But he looked at Zhou Zhou, but his eyes suddenly turned: "Wait a minute, what Master Zhou said is indeed correct, and I admire it very much.

But talking is talking, doing is doing, Master Zhou, can you make a perfect snake soup?Me, I still want to see Master Zhou's craftsmanship! "

He has been obsessed with vegetables all his life, not to mention that this is his most valued snake soup. Zhouzhou has been passed down as a god by the people in Qinxing. Play tricks in public.

"Master Yuan, this is it."

Zhou Zhou couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Okay, then Master Yuan will take me to the back kitchen. I'll make snake soup and leave."

Zhou Zhou nodded his head. It was originally a fighting vegetable, and it would be unjustifiable if he didn't show his hand.

"Hey, Master Yuan, this is not acceptable.

This Master Zhou spoke so well, it aroused our curiosity, and we also want to see Master Zhou's craftsmanship."

"That's right, we are all old customers of Tiangang Building, you can't do this.

If you want me to say, bring all the kitchen utensils and ingredients here, let Master Zhou show his skills in public, we will also learn, and go home to make snake soup for my wife. "

When old man Hong yelled, the diners also yelled. Seeing this, everyone wanted to learn from Zhou Zhou, and even used the means of "madame diplomacy"
"Master Zhou, look."

Yuan Xun also felt a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, that's fine here, I don't want to go to the back kitchen either."

It's not easy to enter the back kitchen. Once a foreign chef enters the back kitchen, he is either an enemy or a good friend; if he can't get along with Yuan Xing, then he will become a good friend?But do you have a good friend who cooks in front of the second cook and the third cook, who loses face to the chef?

If it is changed to cooking here, the meaning is completely different. This is considered as a diner's addiction to the hands. Many restaurants have this special service, and he can advance and retreat or defend, and come and go calmly.

"Okay, then follow Master Zhou's instructions."

Yuan Xing excitedly gave orders, and after a while, the kitchen stove, pots, and vegetable tables were set up on the second floor, but there were some problems with the ingredients. Yuan Xun was too generous just now, and he used up all the snakes in one go No, even the Changbai Mountain Tianchi hot spring water that was specially airlifted was gone, and there was only a five-flowered python left in the snake cage in the back kitchen!
"Mr. Zhou, there is only this python left, do you think it can be used?"

Although Yuan Xun admired Zhou Zhou very much in his heart, he was still very unwilling to lose to a young man like this. Originally, if he had no snakes, he would just go out and buy a local one, which was better than getting a big boa constrictor, but he didn't take the initiative to speak up. , intending to let Zhouzhou export the request.

"python?"

Snakes are inherently fishy, ​​and pythons are even more fishy. What's more, this is not an anaconda, but a Wuhuashan python?
This is the most difficult thing to deal with, not to mention that it is impossible for Zhouzhou to use aniseed liquor to suppress the smell of snakes, even if he wants to use it, he may not be able to suppress it.

So Zhou Zhou knew at a glance that this was Yuan Xun's test of himself, or that he had posed a difficult problem for himself that was almost impossible to solve. Master is going to test my kung fu, so I will use this five-flowered python to make pot and snake soup." Then he walked towards the snake cage.

Yuan Xing's face changed: "Mr. Zhou, this is a real wild python with a fierce temper. Let the snake case kill him. You can do it after he gets to the python's head."

Fighting is fighting, he doesn't want to provoke a lawsuit of human life. This five-flowered python is as thick as the mouth of a bowl. It can swallow a kid with its mouth open. It is also risky for the chef to kill it. It is a snake case that specializes in killing snakes. Richer.

"No need, most snake cases require electric shocks to kill pythons, even if the python's flesh stiffens, the gods can't do it well, so I'll do it myself."

Zhou Zhou walked past the piles of kitchen utensils, slowly came to the python cage, and said to the snake case, "Open it."

"Master Zhou, this python has been hungry for more than half a month, and now it is very fierce."

I'm afraid that Zhou Zhou doesn't know how powerful the snake case is. To kill this python, he needs to be shocked first before doing it, otherwise there will be danger. This Master Zhou actually wants him to open the cage directly, so he is not afraid of being swallowed by the python?
"Don't worry, open the cage!"

"All right, but you have to be careful."

The snake case unlocked the door of the python cage, and stood far away with an iron hook to open the door. Unexpectedly, just as the cage door was opened, a gust of scarlet wind rushed in, and the Wuhuashan python turned into a black line. It flew out and rolled towards Zhouzhou.

This python was really hungry, it was about to strangle Zhou Zhou's bones, and then swallow him.

"Okay, it really is a wild python, and it's the best food!"

Zhou Zhou not only didn't panic, but even praised him, such a vigorous 'little python' is the best tonic, and he was lucky today.

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the five-flowered python had already arrived in front of him, but he twisted his body and yanked it fiercely with one of the python's tails.

According to the routine of this boa constrictor foraging for food, it would be done once it is drawn, coiled and swallowed. Just this tail can knock out a calf, let alone such a thin little man.
