Chapter 686 The otherworldly kimchi

At this time, the soup in the pot was already very thick, and when the lid was opened, the whole yard was filled with fragrance.

"Let's make some food tonight and eat it here. Let's have some drinks?"

This dish was about to be cooked, and it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, so Master Lin left a message to Chu Yunfeng to eat.

"Don't bother. I'm going to go skewers with the two of them tonight. We've already agreed. Aren't we going to come over tomorrow?"

Chu Yue had agreed to this matter early on, so Chu Yunfeng didn't want any changes.

"Okay, after I finish this last step, you can taste it. It'll be up to you tomorrow."

Master Lin saw that he didn't force himself when he had something to do, so he started to turn down the heat to a low heat and blanch the vegetables in preparation for plating.

Shen Wengang and Fang Decai used asparagus, and the way they presented it was slightly different from Master Lin's.

Master Lin's green vegetables were arranged in a circle, with two grids exposed in the middle. It seemed that they were used to place the square cow scalps.

The other two put a layer of asparagus in the middle of the plate, surrounded by a circle. It seems that the cow's scalp is placed on the asparagus, which is also very beautiful.

The next step is the most important step. Chu Yunfeng immediately used the Peak Experience of God of Cooking. When he learned about this last step, Chu Yunfeng was instantly confused.

"I've been fooled, I've been fooled, and I've suffered a big loss now!"

Chu Yunfeng was very reluctant to use the 3-minute MasterChef peak experience, but what he got instead was a very simple procedure.

Just take out the cow's scalp, put it on the plate, then add a little gorgon powder, slightly thicken the soup and drizzle the gravy on it.

Such a simple step, but such a precious chef's time was spent, one can imagine the depression in Chu Yunfeng's heart.

"Brother Chu, is there anything wrong with this step?"

Master Lin was about to pour the juice. When he saw Chu Yunfeng's ugly face, his heart suddenly stopped and he began to wonder if he had done something wrong?

"Uh~! No problem.
pretty good! "

Chu Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said helplessly, his heart was bleeding.
"Oh, okay, this dish is ready, come and try it!"

Master Lin poured the juice from the pot on top, and the whole dish became beautiful at first glance. The square beef scalp was covered with rich juice, which was very appetizing.

Coupled with the combination of green vegetables outside, one green and one red complement each other, which is very charming.

"Ours is also ready, Brother Chu, come and try it!"

The two junior brothers also completed the last step. At this time, Shen Wengang no longer had the airs that he had at the beginning, but became even more enthusiastic about Chu Yunfeng.

"Okay, let me observe first!"

Chu Yunfeng did not taste it immediately, but put the three plates together to help compare each other.

really!

The recipes are different, but the difference is still huge.

The dish Shen Wen just made was darker in color because he put more soy sauce, and the sauce that was poured on it at the end was also darker.

The color of the beef head recipe made by Fang Decai was a little lighter than the other two, but the gravy was thicker than the other two.

Compared with the one made by Master Lin, it feels quite satisfactory, and there is nothing special about it.

Chu Yunfeng was about to analyze the impact of these ingredients on the final dish, but he saw Chu Yue winking at him.

It means asking yourself to use your chopsticks quickly. What are you doing when the food is already on the table? Don’t you still have to eat it in the end?

Then try it first!

Chu Yunfeng smiled at Chu Yue, then picked up a piece of beef head noodles made by Master Lin with his chopsticks.

The beef scalp, which has been cooked for 6 hours, is already very soft and waxy, and it will keep shaking after being picked up with chopsticks.

From this point of view, it feels like it melts in your mouth.

The thick skin and the rich and fragrant juice are simply mouth-watering and there is no way to resist its temptation.

"It smells so good, isn't this too delicious?

It's soft and glutinous, but not sticky at all. It fills my mouth with a feeling of happiness. This dish is the happiest I've ever felt after eating it. "

Chu Yue was not like Chu Yunfeng who picked it up and looked at it slowly. She took a bite directly, expecting to get a piece of it like eating a rice cake.

But what I didn't expect was that the soft texture didn't stick to the teeth at all, especially the soft and waxy texture brought about after biting through the skin, with a slight rebound.

This reminded Chu Yue of the feeling of eating "three no sticks", but found that the three no sticks were eclipsed in front of it.

Because every time you take a bite, you can experience the fatty aroma that is rich in collagen, and the rich and satisfying taste brings a taste of happiness.

"Delicious, delicious, absolutely delicious!"

Chu Yue ate one piece of everything the three of them cooked. When it came to the third piece, she didn't eat it in small bites. Instead, she put it directly into her mouth and started to hesitantly praise it.

Chu Yunfeng saw that Chu Yue liked it so much, especially with the expression of super enjoyment on his face, and thought that this was still made from an incomplete recipe.

If you eat the authentic version I made, will you be moved to tears?

Secretly enjoying himself, Chu Yunfeng also began to taste it.

Sure enough, as Chu Yue said, this beef head recipe is very soft and glutinous, especially the juice has a very rich flavor. You must know that this is the essence of simmering for 6 hours.

With so many ingredients, only a little bit of soup is gathered together, and the rich flavor is self-evident.

Looking at Mu Qing, she seemed to be carefully savoring the essence of the dish with her eyes closed. It could be seen from her gently and slowly moving mouth that she tasted it very carefully.

There was also a happy smile on his face, and he seemed to appreciate the deliciousness of this dish.

After Chu Yunfeng finished tasting the beef head recipe made by the three masters, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng was thinking, Master Lin seemed to have discovered something, so he didn't bother him and waited for him to give him an answer.

After a while, Chu Yunfeng finally figured out the mystery of the combination of ingredients, and then he understood the essence of this dish.

Seeing Chu Yunfeng open his eyes, Master Lin immediately asked: "How is it? Did you find anything? Is there anything that needs improvement?"

"That's right, Brother Chu, please tell me quickly?"

Fang Decai also asked nervously, knowing that his senior brother must have confidence in him when he invited Chu Yunfeng.

“To be honest, the dish made by the three of us still has big flaws, because we still remember the taste of the dish made by our master.

Compared with the dish made by his old man, not only is it far different in taste, but it is also much worse in texture. "

Shen Wengang told the real situation, although the taste of the imitation dish is not bad, but compared with the authentic one, there is still a huge gap.

"No way, such a delicious dish is only a half-finished product?

Oh my gosh, I can’t even imagine what the authentic taste would be like. Chef, please give me your opinion. Do you have any ideas? "

Chu Yue finally understood. The dish that she thought was already perfect just now still had major flaws. This was beyond her imagination.

So he eagerly urged Chu Yunfeng to see if he could make up for these shortcomings and let himself have a taste of the real taste.

"Let me tell you what I think!"

Chu Yunfeng cleared his throat, recalled the secrets he had just learned through using the Peak Experience of God of Cooking, organized his thoughts, and looked at how to explain it.

“After tasting the taste just now, I think there is still room for improvement, whether it is the ingredients used in the broth or the selection of ingredients and spices.

How about this? I’ll go back and think about it first. I’ll send you a list of ingredients later. Can you try using my recipe tomorrow? "

Of course Chu Yunfeng would not foolishly say that I already knew the secret of this dish.
The best way is to slow down and let everyone know that you came to the conclusion through thinking and summarizing. In this way, your "suspect" will be much smaller.

"Okay then, I'll wait for your message. Remember to send it to me at night so I can prepare it in advance."

Master Lin also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Since Chu Yunfeng was already sure, he could just wait.

This dish has cost me a lot of thought. No matter what, I must restore it. As the main dish of the restaurant, it must not be sloppy.

"Okay then, let's go first, I will disturb Master Lin today."

Chu Yunfeng said apologetically that today was supposed to be Master Lin's home field, but by some mistake, he became the protagonist.

The key is that Chu Yunfeng still feels a little embarrassed for Master Lin to spend so much money.

"Haha~! Brother Chu is out of touch when he says this. Don't say it again in the future. We are all Sichuan cuisine. Besides, you and I are gentlemen, why should we be so polite?"

Master Lin didn't get along with Chu Yunfeng for too long, but he saw many advantages in him, and Chu Yunfeng was a cheerful person, which made Master Lin feel that they could have a close friendship with him.

"Okay, I said something wrong. I will bring my own wine tomorrow so you can punish me with two glasses of wine!"

Chu Yunfeng left in a hurry and forgot to bring a few bottles of good wine. The key was that he did not expect Mr. Xia to invite him and Mu Qing to a family dinner.

This door-to-door gift is still nothing new, so I thought of sending a few bottles of good wine as a thank you, just to thank Master Lin for his help.

Besides, I learned two more dishes from Master Lin, which no amount of money can buy.

"Is it the kind of wine you have in your store?"

After hearing this, Master Lin's originally relaxed expression turned serious, and he immediately started asking questions.

"Yes, I flew a few bottles over here. I'll bring two bottles over tomorrow for you to taste. Good food goes with good wine. This dish definitely deserves to be paired with such a good wine."

Of course Chu Yunfeng was sure that he would succeed tomorrow, but what Master Lin thought of was that as long as there was wine, food was not important.
"Okay, okay, okay! It's settled. I'll drive to pick you up tomorrow, so you can rest assured and don't get damaged, hahaha."

Master Lin's state was very puzzling to the people around him. When he mentioned wine, he seemed to have changed into a different person. He was so interested that he had to go in person.

Listening to the meaning of those words, it seems that Chu Yunfeng is still a little worried about bringing wine. Is this wine so important?

"Senior brother, it's not that big of a deal, it's just wine. Are you still afraid that Brother Chu will give the wine bottle to "CEì"?"

Fang Decai despised his senior brother a little. Wasn't he looking down on Brother Chu? For such a big man, couldn't he even handle a drink?

"That's right, senior brother, the Chu brothers are not afraid of air transport, so why are you worried about land transport?"

Shen Wengang also agreed. He had the same idea as Fang Decai. His senior brother was making a fuss out of a molehill.

"Ok, if you two think it's okay, then you won't drink any more tomorrow, that's it!

Well, let's ignore them two and I will pick you up tomorrow morning? "

Master Lin confirmed this with Chu Yunfeng again, which made Mu Qing secretly laugh.

But Chu Yue didn't know why and was still a little confused about the situation.

"No need, don't worry. If there's something wrong with the wine I brought you, I'll make it up for you, okay?"

Chu Yunfeng was also a little bit dumbfounded. He felt that Master Lin was a little too exaggerated. It was just two bottles of wine. Is he so serious?
"That, that's okay, but you must be careful!"

Master Lin was very depressed when he saw Chu Yunfeng's indifferent expression, thinking to himself, of course you don't care if you drink so much.

And it’s not like you don’t know how difficult it is to buy this wine. Anyway, so far, you have never bought the three most high-end wines, even if you pay more.

Chu Yunfeng suddenly gave me a "big gift", so I couldn't be too careful, right?
"Don't worry, it's no problem. Let's go then. See you tomorrow!"

After Chu Yunfeng greeted everyone one by one, he had just taken two steps when he was stopped by Master Lin again.

"By the way, I almost forgot one thing. Didn't you say you were very interested in the kimchi from Guguyan? Wen Gang probably knows a little bit about this.

Wen Gang, I seem to have heard you talk about Guguyan’s kimchi-making skills last time. Please explain it to Brother Chu. "

Master Lin's words made Chu Yunfeng turn around suddenly and "scurry" back in an instant, staring at Shen Wengang nervously.

Let me go, the kimchi for Auntie’s feast, this surprise comes a little too suddenly, doesn’t it?
You must remember this day, it is definitely a super lucky day.

Chu Yunfeng was ecstatic, waiting for the somewhat astonished Shen Wengang to reveal the unexpected news.

"The kimchi at Auntie's feast? I do know a little bit about it, but this was all 10 years ago.

That time I went back to Chengdu to attend a cooking exchange meeting, and a young man sitting next to me said that his grandma used to work as a helper in the Huang Mansion.

Then he learned a few skills in making kimchi. He was so good at it that he praised the kimchi to the sky.

It is said that it does not deform, discolor, does not absorb water, does not lose seeds, does not drink wind, is not salty, and is not sour. "It has excellent color, aroma, taste, and shape."

I didn't pay much attention at the time, thinking he was exaggerating a bit, so I ignored him.

Later, after the exchange meeting, I heard someone say that their family was related to Guguyan, and then I realized that what he said was true.

It turns out that this kimchi can really reach this level, that’s why I was so impressed. "

Shen Wengang was a little bit sad when he talked about this. He felt that he was a little arrogant at the time and did not talk to him in depth.

"Then do you have that young man's phone number?"

Chu Yunfeng asked about the most critical thing.

"It's over, not really"

Shen Wengang's words were like a thunderbolt that shocked Chu Yunfeng.
