Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 90

Small fish sauce mixed with bitter chrysanthemum is the simplest dish on the dinner table.

But because the fresh bitter chrysanthemum is grown by watering with space water, together with the small fish sauce carefully made from small fish caught in the Taohua River, when the two are stirred together, there is a touch of sauce color in the emerald green, fresh The fragrant bitter chrysanthemum is mixed with a hint of fish fragrance, refreshing and fresh, it is really a rare delicacy!
The large plate of hairy crabs on the table is red all over, plump and plump, making people want to drool at a glance;

The steamed lobster meat has been cut into thin slices, and it has a very beautiful visual effect.Use chopsticks to dip two slices in the seasoning, put them in your mouth and chew carefully, the meat is fresh and tender with a slight sweetness, the original flavor is rich and fragrant, and the sweet fragrance is attractive;
The big herring meat with the meaty head is chopped into fillings, and the seasoning is mixed to make even and firm small balls.The meatball soup pays attention to the light and original taste, so Han Yiming only put some emerald green coriander in the soup, a few shreds of chopped green onion and two drizzles of sesame oil, and put it in a bowl of steaming aroma, and it will be an endless aftertaste after a sip;

Han Yiming was afraid that the four dishes would not be enough to eat, so he made two more home-cooked stir-fries with Xia Hongliang's original vegetables in the refrigerator;
The finale was naturally the work he was going to take for the competition.

The dishes on the table are all delicious in color, fragrance, and people can't help but move their index fingers.

"As expected of the chef of Yanlaiju, just looking at the arrangement of these dishes, I don't feel like eating at home." Xia Hongliang smiled and waved his hands to greet the two of them to take a seat. I'll fill you both up and try my bottle of fine wine!"

Han Yiming was a little embarrassed, "Don't say that. Strictly speaking, I'm not a chef in Yanlaiju. I can only stay in the back kitchen after I pass the exam the day after tomorrow. I want to start with the simplest dishes and become a master chef. , I guess it will take two or three years."

"Then I wish you good grades in the exam the day after tomorrow!" Su Mu held up the glass that was already filled with fine wine and said with a smile: "In the future, we will be blessed with a friend like Yiming. Anyway, I am also a vegetable seller. If you need Give me a call if you are researching any new dishes, I will wrap up fresh vegetables, as long as you have time, let us try the dishes!"

The other two also picked up the wine, clinked glasses and drank it.

Han Yiming didn't drink very much, and after drinking a small cup, he grinned his teeth so hotly, and after a while, a blush spread to his cheeks.

"Yiming doesn't usually drink much. If he feels that he can't drink, he can go to the refrigerator to get a drink. Come on, Muzi, let's go together! My brother and I have never drank like this before in the company. I didn't expect to drink after working separately. If I have a chance, if I drink too much tonight, I just don’t want to leave, anyway, I have a place to live here. It’s hard to meet someone who can drink, and we won’t go home until we’re drunk!” Xia Hongliang was obviously very happy.

This time my baby girl had a good meal at Huatanao, thanks to Su Mu's hospitality; this time he helped me a lot, if Han Yiming can pass the test smoothly, I have to thank Su Mu for everything; not to mention Usually the wine market is full of business talks, and few people can accompany him to drink well. Now facing a table of sumptuous dishes, Xia Hongliang's face is naturally flushed and he is very happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother Xia, you have to go to our flower pool for a few days if you say anything in winter. The grain wine brewed by the fellow villagers over there will be exciting to drink. Then we will roast a whole sheep and eat meat in large pieces around the hot kang Take a big gulp and drink as much as you want!" Su Mu introduced to Xia Hongliang, picked up the fish meatballs and tasted it, the fish meat was fresh and tender, full of elasticity, sweet and mellow.

He couldn't help admiring in his heart: Sure enough, the dishes made by professional chefs are better than those in ordinary restaurants!

Xia Hongliang, who was concentrating on eating hairy crabs, immediately became interested when he heard this, "Just for the sake of good wine, I will order it this winter! At that time, the company will not be under any pressure, and we brothers can really have a good meal !"

"Try this 'five shredded vegetable rolls', I'm going to cook the day after tomorrow." Han Yiming flushed slightly, and took the lead to put a vegetable roll for Xia Hongchao and put another on the sumi plate, "I came here in a hurry today and I didn't bring any With the ingredients I prepared, when I take the exam the day after tomorrow, I will use my secret ham to make it, the taste should be better."

Su Mu watched him go through several tedious steps to make this dish, picked up the dish roll and took a bite, then gave a thumbs up, "It looks good, and it tastes even better!"

After one bite, the fragrance of mushrooms, the crisp taste of all kinds of shredded vegetables, and the elastic ham made it hard for people to find the right words to describe it. He could only swallow it full of praise and kept saying yes eat.

I don't know whether it was praised by them or because of the wine, Han Yiming got excited and explained his innovation of this dish to the two of them.

Five silk vegetable rolls are marinated for several hours according to the traditional method.In order to adapt to the time limit of the exam, Han Yiming deliberately changed the recipe of this dish, and wrapped it with plastic wrap when marinating, so that various flavors can quickly enter various vegetables.

Su Mu really doesn't know much about cooking, but he can tell the difference between good and bad taste.

Usually, he is used to eating fruits and vegetables in the space, his mouth is so stingy, he doesn't like ordinary dishes at all.Especially the meals in those small restaurants are simply tasteless.

But Han Yiming's delicious mix of ordinary vegetables, Su Mu can also feel that the taste is not bad.This shows that Han Yiming's cooking skills are really good, and he can bring out the deliciousness of the ingredients as much as possible.However, no matter how well the two small stir-fry dishes are made, compared with the ones made with vegetables in space, it will be judged whether they are better or worse.

All three of them enjoyed this supper in good spirits and spirits.

Xia Hongliang and Su Mu both had about the same amount of alcohol, and they toasted and chatted while toasting; Han Yiming was serious about writing down their suggestions for these dishes in the notes he kept with him.

In his words, no matter how big a restaurant is, the food it makes is for ordinary people to eat.

Experts can judge the deliciousness, which means that the cooking skills have reached the standard; but the ultimate goal of cooking is to let ordinary diners taste delicious, as a chef, he has to collect the opinions of the masses;
Apart from hairy crabs and lobsters, which are delicious dishes, Su Mu loved Han Yiming's fish ball soup so much that he drank three bowls before stopping.Fortunately, Han Yiming patiently explained the production process to him in detail, and he can show his family a hand when he returns home.

"It seems that I have time to find a way to get some good chefs back to Huatanao. With my own green food and good craftsmanship, it will be very good to open a restaurant in the future; I have to play the side drum for Xia Hongliang in the past few days. It is best to let him She also came up with the idea of ​​going to the mountain village to play, as long as she sees the benefits of Huatanao, and Xia Jin wants to run to her in the future, her parents will not stop her much."

Su Mu thought so, and discussed with Han Yiming about the details of serving as a cheerleader by delivering vegetables.

Time seems to fly by so quickly when you plan ahead.

At six o'clock this morning, Su Mu got up from bed very early.After washing up, I entered the space and made myself some delicious food.

After feeding the big dogs in the space, and playing with the deer and silly roe deer with the squirrel for a while, he put all the prepared vegetables in a small basket.

After going downstairs, he got into the car, and Su Mu rushed to Yanlaiju with the most important vegetables.

Han Yiming, who was wearing a chef uniform, had been waiting for him at the back door for a long time. He took a few steps and took a look at the vegetable basket in Su Mu's hand. He said happily, "Thank you, Brother Su! It's the same when you come down. I have to go to the back kitchen to make some preparations, Uncle Xia and my parents are waiting for you at the front door, you go in first!"

Sure enough, when I walked around to the front door of Yanlaiju, I saw Xia Hongchao in suits and leather shoes and a couple who looked like a couple chatting quietly. It seemed that they should be Han Yiming's parents.

"I just delivered the food to Yiming, is it a bit late?" Su Mu walked over quickly and greeted Xia Hongchao.

"No, it's old Han who is too impatient. We came early and just started to enter the venue. Let me introduce you." Xia Hongchao gave a brief introduction to both parties.

Han Yiming's parents once again expressed their gratitude to Su Mu for his great help. After a few polite words, Han Yiming's father handed over the name card.

Today's Yanlaiju has a sign hanging at the gate, stating that it will be closed for a day because of the kitchen competition.

After following the three of them into the arena, Su Mu realized that this was completely different from the cheerleaders he had imagined!

The pocket version of treasure banquet was held in the largest hall of Yanlaiju.

At this time, the tables, chairs and benches were long gone in the hall, and there were rows of consoles and stoves in the center; a row of judges' seats in the front; and formal audience seats on both sides.Su Mu and his party were the first to arrive, so they naturally took the lead in occupying a good position in the first row.

The Han couple obviously also felt nervous for their son, and they have been discussing their son's competitors in a low voice since they sat down.

After drinking two cups of hot tea, cheerleaders from both sides were almost here.These are obviously relatives and friends of the various apprentices taking the exam, and almost everyone has a somewhat dignified expression.As a result, the more people there were, the quieter and quieter they became, and they couldn't even hear a cough.

At eight o'clock, the organizer and many judges came together to announce the official start of the graduation competition of the chef.

Although the performance of the apprentices is just an internal competition of Yanlaiju, it is obvious that the hotel attaches great importance to it, and even the specifications are arranged according to the strictest competition; The chefs of Yanlaiju's main store are sitting in the town in person, waiting for the results of the competition to determine who will stay and who will stay.

After the brief opening remarks, several young chefs wearing neat chef uniforms who participated in the first round entered the arena, and the host introduced their learning time, specialties and dishes for this competition one by one.

After they were in place, the ingredients that had been washed and prepared were brought to the operating table.

Next, there was only a burst of excited and tidy knife work sounds intertwined with the sound of picking and placing tools.

Su Mu secretly sighed, "This is the real symphony of pots and pans! I don't know how Han Yiming, who is in the back kitchen, is preparing? He won't be nervous on the spot, right?"
