Chapter 371
For an apprentice chef, the level of fire is indeed the basic functional ability that he must master.

Theoretically speaking, the divine examination that Oschin is going through now needs to test Oschin's ability to burn fire.However, the assessment question given by the high priest this time was to ask Oschin to complete a dish alone. Once this question came out, it directly ruled out the requirement that Oschin must show his ability to cook fire.

There is no way, this is caused by the limitations of the firewood stove itself.

When a top-level dish is cooked, the control of the heat must be precise. When using a heating tool such as a gas stove or an induction cooker, the chefs can adjust the strength of the fire with a simple turn of the switch, which will not waste much time. , does not affect the chefs' control of the heat of the ingredients in the pot.

However, when using a firewood stove, the control of the fire can only rely on adding and removing firewood.When you want to reduce the firepower, it is easy to withdraw the firewood outside.Single-person operation will not waste too much time.But when you want to increase the firepower, you don't just need to add firewood to it, you also need to blow the wind. If this can only be done by one person in charge, the time delay will be unknown.

Therefore, in the back kitchen of a formal restaurant, the master chef who is in charge of the spoon must be accompanied by a full-time apprentice who can make a fire, and can respond appropriately when the master chef speaks.

Because of the assessment questions given by the high priest, Oschin is now the master chef in charge. Evaluation over there.After all, reasonable cooperation is also one of the basic skills of a chef!
Coincidentally, Cowan himself was Oschin's test companion, and he often practiced with Oschin in normal times.Cowen really can't help those steps that can't be operated with claws, but Oschin can only say that his own level can't keep up with Cowen's work like lighting a fire.

Well, let’s get back to the story, let’s talk about the pine needles.When giving pine needles to pigeons, the person who asks for pine needles must use fast and steady hands, and the needles used must be sharp wooden needles.

If the hand skills are not up to the requirement, if the needle is not sharp enough.The pinholes on the pigeon skin will be too large, causing the aroma to leak out, and the stuffing in the belly of the pigeon will not be able to absorb enough aroma; if the needles used are metal, then during the pine needle process, the metal The taste is likely to taint this eight-treasure chestnut pigeon with miscellaneous flavors.

Fortunately, Oschin's skills were sufficient, and the bamboo needles prepared by God of Kitchen Pavilion were also sharp enough, so Oschin completed the process of pine needles quite smoothly.

Afterwards, Oschin had nothing to do in a hurry. The pigeon had to be steamed in the pot for at least an hour.

During this hour, the drawer for steaming the pigeons could not be opened, and the pigeon soup in the casserole on the other side did not require much attention from Oschin, so Oschin was free again.

Oschin's eyes rolled when he was idle, and the time on the alarm clock clearly told him that there was still an hour and a half before the end of the assessment.

Wouldn't it be a pity not to do something for such a long time.Cooking is the job of the red chef. As a spiritual white chef, Oschin still yearns to do other things.

So Oschin, whose eyes were roving, cast his gaze on the glutinous rice that was still soaked in the water.When wandering around in the back kitchen before, Oschin found a bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus candy that tasted really good. Oschin was going to use glutinous rice and this bottle of osmanthus sugar to make a glutinous osmanthus cake.

Because this is not the content of the assessment, when processing glutinous rice, Oschin chose to use a soul guide steamer whose temperature is far higher than that of a firewood stove steamer.

The glutinous rice, which had been soaked for a long time, was added water by Oschin, put it into the soul guide steamer, and directly turned on the fire.Under this firepower, it only takes 15 minutes to steam the glutinous rice in the pot.

After putting the glutinous rice into the pot, Oschin went to Hetai and took a small pumpkin and cut it open.Not much, just one-eighth of a pumpkin.Cut the pumpkin into thin slices, and steam it in the same pan.

The speed of pumpkin cooking should be faster than that of glutinous rice, plus the time of Austin and pumpkin, both sides will probably come out of the pot at the same time.

This time, in the next ten minutes, Oschin was completely fine.

Strolling back to the stove where the eight-treasure chestnut pigeon was steaming, and taking a deep breath of the aroma that permeated the stove, Oschin was sure, good morning, but the pigeon soup seemed to be coming about there.

Listening to the gurgling sound in the casserole, Oschin roughly estimated the time and placed an alarm clock next to the casserole with pigeon soup that would ring 15 minutes later.Tell Cowan to put out the flame in the pigeon soup stove as soon as the alarm clock rings.

At that time, simmer for another 10 minutes or so, the soup in the casserole should stop gurgling completely (the heat preservation effect of the casserole is quite abnormal, and it can slurp for a while after turning off the heat), and the pot can be opened.

Strolling around here, the pumpkin and glutinous rice over there will be just fine.

Take the glutinous rice out of the steamer first, don't rush to move it, let Cowen come over and apply a continuous small cyclone technique on the glutinous rice pot, so that the glutinous rice can cool "naturally" more quickly.

The pumpkin on the other side can be dealt with now. What Oschin has to do is to turn the pumpkin slices into pumpkin puree.

It is said that this step can be done by machine, but firstly, Oschin is really too lazy to clean the machine afterward; I also thought it would be better to operate it manually, anyway, Oschin's claws are not afraid of being scalded with the Flame Armor Shield.

The pumpkin on the plate was taken out by Oschin directly, placed on a clean chopping board, and sprinkled with a sufficient amount of whole milk powder.A dark red light flashed on the palm of the right hand. The ruthless iron hand first pressed, then kneaded, stirring and beating from time to time.Soon a delicate creamy pumpkin puree is ready.

On the other side, the "naturally" cooled glutinous rice is not so hot at this time.The next thing Oschin has to do is to hammer the glutinous rice into glutinous rice cakes with both hands.

Oschin's practice makes perfect for this kind of operation. The movement of hammering the glutinous rice cakes is smooth and smooth. Even if the alarm clock on the side of the pigeon soup blew harshly during the process, it did not disturb Oschin's movements.

Well, the alarm clock actually only sounded for a second. Cowen raised a big paw while controlling the flame in the stove that was extinguished by the wind attribute soul power, and pressed the alarm clock to stop.

The glutinous rice cake is hammered well, take the pumpkin puree and mix well.Sprinkle fried glutinous rice flour inside the mold, and one after another small glutinous rice pumpkin cakes appear.

Pull out a suitable small plate from the tableware table, put two glutinous rice pumpkin cakes on one plate, and pour a large spoonful of osmanthus sugar. Even if the glutinous rice cake is ready, it still tastes like milky pumpkin.

After checking the time again at the pigeon steamer, Oschin went to the resting place of the priests and delivered the milky pumpkin-flavored glutinous rice osmanthus cake in his hand.

"You priests have worked hard. It will take some time before the main dishes are on the table. Let's have some snacks first."

Of course, before giving the priests something to eat, Oschin had already stuffed a piece of his own milky pumpkin-flavored glutinous rice osmanthus cake into his mouth.

ah!tasty!satisfy!Sure enough, this kind of soft and glutinous dessert can bring people a sense of happiness. After working so hard for the assessment all morning, I still need dessert to heal myself!

The sweetness of osmanthus candy, coupled with the soft and waxy texture with the sweetness of pumpkin, and the milky aroma that lingers in the mouth after chewing, I am indeed a mediocre dessert making genius.

Cough cough, that, ignoring Oschin's narcissism, let's take a look at the situation of the priests.

"Okay, Lao Chu, knowing that we are waiting here anxiously, this kid is quite considerate."

The round-faced priest skillfully looked at the milky pumpkin-flavored glutinous rice osmanthus cake on the table, while teasing Priest Chu.

On the other side, a priest with a goatee sitting next to the high priest twitched his nostrils and took a couple of breaths of the fragrance wafting from the snacks in front of him, and carefully asked the high priest next to him: "Boss, this is not a That kid bribed us? It's been a morning, and everyone is indeed a little hungry, so you can eat."

"It doesn't count, let's eat, remember to give him a comment after the assessment is over, and talk about improvement suggestions.

Also, Chu Yun (yún): Come back and ask him, what are those kitchen utensils that were used just now? It looks like the soul guide from Mingdetang.

You can try it yourself, if it works, we can buy a batch from Mingdetang.Let alone other things, the speed of steaming glutinous rice is much faster than the steamer we use now. "

"Yes, High Priest."

Hearing that the high priest agreed, a few priests who were impatient or really hungry immediately took a piece of glutinous osmanthus cake from the plate in front of them and stuffed it into their mouths.

However, the filling was fast and the filling was fast. As a chef's occupational disease, it stopped these guys from chomping on peonies in the first place.Of course, the reason for chewing carefully may also be because the size of the two pieces of glutinous rice osmanthus cake is indeed a bit small. These guys who are a little bit hungry can only chew slowly in order to enhance their satiety as much as possible.

It has to be said that Oschin's ability to make these snacks is quite good.Judging from the expressions of the priests who ate the snacks, the taste of this glutinous rice osmanthus cake is at least acceptable.

After all, Oschin's ability as a pastry chef has been recognized by Ning Fengzhi. Although Ning Fengzhi is not a chef, he has eaten so many good things!After many comparisons, the desserts made by Oschin can still catch Ning Fengzhi's eyes, and the level is not too low.

Two pieces of glutinous rice osmanthus cake didn't have much weight, and the priests finished eating it soon.The first one to speak was the round-faced priest:

"That's right, Lao Chu, you really didn't give this little guy any trouble?

Although the steaming heat of the pumpkin and glutinous rice is still lacking, the glutinous rice cake and pumpkin puree are quite good, and the mixture of the two is also very good.Seasoned with just the right sweet-scented osmanthus, this plate of dim sum is quite high-quality! "

"I don't know if it counts as a small stove, but I did teach him Yin-Yang coordination and Tai Chi hands.

However, he hasn't learned this method for a long time, and he is not very proficient in using it, and he didn't use it just now.It can only be said that this kid is indeed talented for some of Bai An's dishes, and he has worked hard before. "

"Have a good foundation, Chu Yun, you can gradually let him get acquainted with the content of fire control in the future." After the round-faced priest finished speaking, the high priest spoke directly before the other priests spoke.It can be seen that Oschin's plate of snacks has earned him some impression points.

Leaving aside the issue of dim sum, Oschin, who had refueled himself halfway, returned to the stove where he was steaming the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon.Oschin has no free time from now on, he needs to concentrate on observing the heat of the pigeons in the steamer.

When the incident was about the same, Oschin needed to make the gravy of the eight-treasure chestnut pigeon with pigeon soup in advance.

As time passed, the back kitchen was quiet except for the crackling sound of the firewood burning in the stove.Oschin, with his eyes closed, was carefully distinguishing the difference in the aroma of the pigeons in the steamer.

It was already 10 minutes later when Oschin opened his eyes again. It can be seen that Oschin is now in a somewhat entangled state.The Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon is a dish that Oschin really doesn't know how to cook, and he doesn't know the exact time to turn off the fire.

After struggling for a short half a minute, smelling the strong aroma from the tip of his nose again, Oschin crouched down decisively and removed all the firewood that was still burning in the stove.

"Cowan, after you put out the open and dark fires on these logs, put them back in their proper positions."

After a brief explanation, Oschin didn't want to use the firewood stove in the back kitchen anymore, and directly took out the Soul Guidance Induction Cooker to start the process of making Gorgon juice.

Put a piece of fat chicken oil on the cold pan, watch the chicken oil gradually melt as the temperature of the bottom of the pot continues to rise, sprinkle a little bit of salt, pour a large spoonful of it with a sizzling sound, and absorb it after many times of foaming. Pigeon soup that became clear as water.

Bring to a boil, pour the adjusted water starch into the pot, and stir quickly.Under the action of starch, the pigeon soup in the pot gradually became viscous. Oschin, who had been waiting for a suitable opportunity, saw the opportunity and held the pot with his left hand.Let the gorgon juice, which is still rotating, enter the spoon held in Oschin's right hand without falling in the direction of its own rotation.

Just the right amount of starch and fast centrifugal rotation, so that there is no residue of gravy in the pot.At this point, the finished product in the mouth of the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon is only the final finishing touch.
