Gourmet food starts from the green leather train chef

Chapter 253 Seeing the Wonderland
Everyone was wondering, but they saw Zhou Zhou holding two duck paws in one hand and taking a silver needle from the kitchen table with the other.

This needle was seven inches long and about the same thickness as an ordinary acupuncture needle. Under the light of the arena, it trembled slightly, as soft as a hair.

Longer than ordinary acupuncture needles, but softer!
These are not ordinary kitchen needles. The kitchen needles used to pierce meat are made of steel and are hard enough. I have never heard of anyone using acupuncture needles as kitchen needles.
What is this for?
Wang Shenghai stared at Zhou Zhou closely. Zhou Zhou specially asked him to prepare this silver needle, but he never thought that Zhou Zhou would use it here.

When will chefs be able to use such silver needles?
Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, Zhou Zhou put one duck paw on his palm, put the other duck paw on top of it, and lightly shook the other hand, and the silver needle, which was as soft as a hair, was like a dragon flying across the sky. , gently folded it, and inserted the duck paw stacked on top of it from an incredible angle!
"This"

Wang Shenghai was stunned, his world view almost collapsed on the spot.

It's a monster, I knew it would be like this, this guy is a monster again!

It is not an easy task to remove the hard skin of duck feet. All chefs in the world will ignore the impact of hot water on the dishes, because in everyone's opinion, this is the only way.

Who would have thought that Zhou Zhou would abandon the accepted method and not plan to use hot water to remove the hard skin?

Moreover, Zhou Zhou's thoughts were so delicate that when he was handling one duck's paw, he was worried that the blood of the other one would freeze due to too long, so he even held it in his palm and used his own temperature to keep the remaining duck's paw alive. active.

In this way, how difficult is it to deal with the duck feet stacked on top?And judging from what Zhou Zhou meant, it turned out that the method of piercing with silver needles was used to peel off the hard skin on the outer layer of the duck's paw!
This is simply a crazy idea. In this way, the adverse effects of hot water on the duck's feet can be avoided, but can it really be done?

Even Wang Shenghai watched his throat twitch, swallowed and spit involuntarily, secretly nervous for Zhou Zhou.

At this moment, he almost forgot that Zhou Zhou was the opponent of his master and apprentice, and he was very much looking forward to Zhou Zhou's success. After all, this broke the industry's recognized method of handling, and it was the first time that Huaxia Qinxing pioneered the world!

Seeing the silver needle in Zhou Zhou's hand piercing the duck's paw, as if he knew his way and was able to move quickly, the needle protruded from the edge of the hard skin and the duck's paw after a while.

Everyone immediately held their breath and looked at the protruding needle with rounded eyes. Most of the people present were experts. As long as they saw the color of the needle clearly, they could roughly judge whether Zhou Zhou used the needle properly.

If it is just a bluff but the strength is not enough, and the silver needle hurts the normal tissue of the duck's paw, then this treatment method can be declared a failure.

On the contrary, it can be declared that the treatment method recognized by the chef industry for many years is wrong, at least it is relatively low-level. I am afraid that many people, including masters like Sun Desheng, will not be able to sleep.
Does it mean that from now on, everyone should not only learn knife skills, carving skills, frying skills, and fire skills, but also learn acupuncture?
But where to study? Going to a Chinese medicine school doesn’t seem to be the right choice?
It's such a headache, and it's the same in Zhouzhou. You said that you just compete in a competition, and you always challenge the chef's limit to do something. Isn't this against us?

This silver needle was seven inches long, even if it penetrated the duck's paw from the crusty shrimp and protruded from the needle, there would still be an inch or so of the needle tail left outside, shivering tremblingly under the light above the stage.

Zhou Zhou bent his index finger and flicked lightly at the end of the needle.

"Buzzing—"

The trembling sound of the needle tail echoed in the kitchen. Everyone was surprised at first, and then looked blank.
"Is this still cooking?"

"that's amazing!"

"Ah, I seem to see a golden dish that is about to be baked!"

"Go away, what is the golden light, it's called fairy sounds!"

Sun Desheng suddenly opened his old eyes wide, and stared at Zhou Zhou steadfastly. This acupuncture method seems to be familiar.
According to legend, the senior chef once showed this hand in front of the good prime minister of the country. The old man asked curiously, and the senior chef just replied with a smile: "Although this acupuncture method is amazing, compared with what you have done, it is after all Small things, why do you care about the kitchen?"

"That senior is right, the name of this set of acupuncture is not important at all, what is important is that it is amazing enough.

So, it should be called 'Amazing Shot'"

Thinking of this, Sun Desheng couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly. After all, he still got a good look, and couldn't help but give this set of acupuncture a name. Is this the difference between himself and that senior?
What is the origin of this Zhouzhou?

If Zhou Zhou told him now that he was taught by a chef school, Sun Desheng would definitely run away on the spot. Isn't this an insult to his IQ!
Zhou Zhou flicked the tail of the needle several times in succession, and the silver needle kept vibrating under the hard skin of the duck's paw, and a thin needle-shaped mark gradually protruded from the hard skin of the duck's paw above the silver needle.

This result looks so unreal, which makes everyone exclaim in admiration.

But Sun Desheng knew clearly that it was because Zhou Zhou recognized the position very accurately, the silver needle was able to penetrate through the thin blood veins under the duck's paw, and with the vibration of the needle body, the blood veins swelled up little by little, thus making the hard skin at this position Gradually peel off from the underlying normal tissue.

When the needle-shaped mark rose like a hillock, Zhou Zhou pushed towards the tail of the needle like lightning with one hand, and guided the head of the needle with the other hand, pulled out the silver needle lightly,
At this moment, the silver needle was already in his other hand, Zhou Zhou didn't even blink for a moment, but quickly pierced the silver needle under the hard skin again from the other side, continued to flick the needle tail, opened up the blood vessels, and made the hard skin bulge .

His technique became faster and faster, and he saw more than a dozen winding needle marks under the hard skin on the outer layer of the duck's paw. Although there are still many adhesions between the hard skin and the duck's paw, the key position related to the blood has been taken by Zhou Zhou. All hollowed out!
"I thought my technique had reached the pinnacle. When it comes to scalding and peeling, even a master like Sun Desheng and the old Xingzun may not be able to do better than me.
The truth is the same, but who would have thought that this guy would not play cards according to reason, and would not use the method of scalding and peeling the skin!

Who can I tell this truth?
There is actually such a method for peeling duck feet. Could it be that this guy came up with it while he was sleeping?
Could it be that he dreamed about it? "

Seeing that Zhou Zhou put down the silver needle, gently pinched a corner of the hard skin with his hands, and tore off a piece of the hard skin of the duck's paw with his hand, and then used the same method to treat other parts, and quickly healed a duck. , Soak hair in rice wine.

They didn't add any traditional Chinese medicine to the rice wine, let alone use any precious "orchid honey".
Sun Desheng sighed secretly, feeling infinitely in his heart: "This man Zhou Zhou is really too mysterious. No wonder Zhang Zhouxuan and Hu Lingjiu value him so much. This kid has a bright future."

Zhou Zhou removed the hard skin of the duck's feet with ingenious techniques and light weight. When it came to the step of soaking the rice wine, it was ordinary and nothing amazing. Sun Desheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Is this the right feeling? If this kid shows magical means everywhere and breaks the rules, will he let others live?Not to mention ordinary chefs, I am afraid that I, a diligent master, will be shot to death on the beach.

After Zhou Zhou finished the procedure of soaking the duck feet and sealed the pot on the spot, it came to an end today. The Dengyun duck dish is such a troublesome dish.

Everyone immediately responded with warm applause, even Sun Desheng's master and apprentice couldn't help applauding Zhou Zhou sincerely, and Su Rou even made a pair of little hands red.

"Time, 9:30 tomorrow morning, continue."

Zhou Zhou reported a time.

Zhou Zhou combined Sun Desheng's brewing method with his own improvement and understanding to finally determine a time, which is about 24 minutes less than the usual 45 hours.

"Tomorrow at this time, 'People climb the ladder and see the fairyland'!"

Leaving an inscrutable sentence, and then drifting away, this seems to be what the owner of 'Xiao Zhou Kitchen Knife' should look like.

It's a pity that Zhou Zhou doesn't know how to carve a wooden figure with a knife, doesn't feel sad because he put a colored hat on himself, and doesn't cough lifelessly while drinking, so it's a bit regrettable.

However, Su Rou's eyes shined brightly. It would be annoying for a man without skills to pretend to be aggressive, but a man with skills is different. It is a unique charm.
-
'When people climb the ladder, they can see the fairyland'!
But the delicacies in the fairyland, don't they have human prototypes?
If they figured this out, Sun Desheng and his disciples might understand the true meaning of this dish. Of course, even if they understood, they probably wouldn't be able to cook it.

The difficulty of this dish is that it is steamed. Even if you have amazing frying skills and fire skills, it is useless, because you can't use it at all.

This alone will stump many chefs.

Everyone knows how to steam and cook, but [-]% of the chefs in the world look down on this simple cooking method from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, judging from the history of human culinary development, frying, frying, and frying are also after steaming. How can the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, who only know big stews, compare with the highly developed food civilization of the Song and Ming dynasties?
To a large extent, the representative of food civilization is 'frying, frying, cooking', at least in China, the world's number one gourmet powerhouse. When have you ever seen someone push the method of steaming to its peak?
Zhou Zhou also has a hundred years of experience in gathering many top-notch recipes, and his understanding of Chinese cuisine has been faintly refined. Only when he becomes one of the few chefs in the world can he master it and have such an understanding.

Now he even has some suspicions that the reason why 'Dengyun Duck' is lost is mostly related to the fact that the dish was finally made of 'steaming'.

The so-called "stir-frying skills are known, watching the fire to know the chef, steaming is homely", since the difficulty of this dish is steaming, the kung fu comes before steaming.

In other words, even if there are requirements for steaming, most of them must be closely coordinated with the previous procedures. "Cultivation is unseen, and God knows with the heart." Cooking is like governing the country, and it is also like cultivating morality. This is actually all The same reason.

"In fact, the ingredients in the world are divided into two parts: innate and acquired.

The eggs from the belly of the slaughtered hen are congenital, and they are cooked well, not the taste of the world; when the chicken lays eggs, it is the day after tomorrow. Although there are more human fireworks, it no longer has the innate beauty.
This soaked duck paw, why not?Unfortunately, many people ignore this point. "

The two duck feet that have been soaked in rice wine for nearly 24 hours in front of me have swelled up several times, and they are as thick as a child's fingers.

According to Sun Desheng's method, after taking it out, rinse it with rice wine first, then rinse it with water, then pull out the main bone and negative tendons, and discard them all. Only the skin of the duck's paw is used for cooking.

But Zhou Zhou did not do this.
"Only taking the crispy taste of the duck's paw skin, but forgetting the innate beauty and fragrance, isn't this a waste of money?
It's a pity that even Sun Desheng, the diligent master, ignored this point, or in other words, it was difficult to do it with his methods? "

Zhou Zhou didn't directly remove the main bones and tendons of the duck's paw, but held the duck's paw with his palms, and pressed his thumb and index finger on the position of the bones and tendons, as if he was massaging hard.

It looks like a massage, but it is actually using a kind of ingenuity, neither to damage the skin of the duck's paw, but also to secretly pinch the duck bone that has been soaked in rice wine until it is almost soft, so that the few bone marrow in it can penetrate into the duck's paw !

Bone marrow is the 'lord of the inner gods and the source of blood', so it should be innate!

Moreover, Zhou Zhou's method is to keep the duck's paw from the body and not come into contact with foreign objects, otherwise the innate beauty will be lost.

Only by taking the best of innate qualities can we create what Zhou Zhou called 'a taste that doesn't belong to the world'!
This technique seems ordinary, but in fact, after pinching out the bone marrow with ingenuity, with the help of "legendary vegetable washing skills", it penetrates the skin secretly, and uses two fingers to distinguish the veins and veins in the duck's paw, allowing the bone marrow to relax. Slow penetration.

"What is this guy doing again?"

Sun Desheng was really curious, and he didn't care about his status as a master of diligence. He quickly walked to Zhou Zhou like a schoolboy thirsty for knowledge.

"Grandmaster Sun, don't worry, I can't tell if you are teaching Xiao Zhou or Xiao Zhou is teaching you if you do this like this?"

Grandpa Zhang Zhouxuan laughed out loud. He will be happy with this in the next few years. It's so cool!
Sun Desheng ignored him at all, what happened to the master?I am not ashamed to ask, sooner or later I will become friends with Xiao Zhou, can you control me?You're almost seventy and you're just a national culinary master. What do you think you're good for?
oops?This kid didn't pull out the duck bone directly, but made a small opening under the duck's paw, shook his hand a few times, and then shook out a small pile of bone powder?
"Fuck! Wait, I'm a guru, how can I swear? I'm not an example, I'm not an example
But ah. The skin of the duck's paw is not damaged in any way, but the main bone inside has turned into bone meal. How did he do it?
Why is he doing this? "

Numerous questions suddenly popped up in Sun Desheng's mind.
