Gourmet conquest starts from the entertainment industry

Liu Yifei, who couldn't bear the tiredness of the two, drove Zhou Mochen to the kitchen.

After receiving Wu Jing's call in the morning, Zhou Mochen had already thought up the menu. The big dishes that can be served on weekdays, Fushouquan, roast duck, and large yellow croaker are all added. According to the tastes of the visitors, Zhou Mochen also added some innovative dishes from the Confucian Mansion Banquet.

Confucian banquets are an important part of the food culture, and are specially prepared for the reception of distinguished guests, appointments, birthdays and festivals, weddings and funerals.

Banquets have different specifications according to the ranks of the monarch and his subjects. It is a special high-end banquet specially prepared for the Confucian Mansion to receive distinguished guests, take office, celebrate days, birthdays, weddings and funerals. It is a set of unique family banquets that have been gradually formed after hundreds of years of continuous development and enrichment.

Confucian banquets pay attention to rituals. For example, since the Qing Dynasty, the first-class "Man-Han Banquet" for entertaining the emperor and imperial ministers, also known as "Man-Han Quan Banquet", was the standard of state banquets in the Qing Dynasty. A table of banquets requires 404 pieces of tableware, and each piece of tableware is divided into two layers. There are 196 dishes for the whole meal.

It is divided into birthday banquet, flower banquet, celebration banquet, welcome banquet and home cooking banquet.

Confucian banquets are prepared in a variety of ways, mainly frying, roasting, frying and steaming.

What Zhou Mochen has to do is to develop some new varieties based on the old dishes. First-class sea cucumber, Shili ginkgo, fairy duck.

Zhou Mochen had made immortal ducks before, but the ones in the Confucian Mansion Banquet were slightly different.

Wash the fresh stuffed duck, remove the internal organs, smash the calf bone ring, remove the big bone of the duck's foot, remove the tongue and esophagus, chop off the tip of the mouth, cut off the anus and duck smell, cut a few knives on the spine and turn it over on the preserved meat Take a few shots, put it in a pot and boil it on low heat for about ten minutes, remove it and wash off the oil in cold water.

Cut ham and winter bamboo shoots into long slices. Remove the roots of Shuifa mushrooms and Tricholoma mushrooms, wash them and cut them in half.

Cut off the duck spine and put it in the bottom of the casserole. Put the duck belly up on the bone, place the mushrooms in a row on the duck belly, and place the bamboo shoots, ham, and mushrooms on both sides of the mushrooms.

Then pour two bowls of broth, refined salt, rice wine, and soy sauce into the casserole, add green onions and ginger, tightly cover the casserole with cellophane, and steam in a steamer.

Take out the casserole and remove the paper, remove the onion and ginger, remove the monosodium glutamate, and skim off the slick oil.

The first-grade sea cucumber is much more delicate to make. As one of the sea treasures, the material selection requirement of the first-grade sea cucumber is to choose sea cucumber.

Stuffed with minced chicken, crab roe, green shrimp and peas, it is beautiful in color, shape and taste, and rich in nutrition.

The production method is simple, the key is the plate.

Chicken breast and pig fat meat are cut into minced meat with a knife, put in a small pot, add salt, cooking wine, ginger juice, stir vigorously, then add egg white and starch and stir until thick.

Then cut the crab roe and the slid green shrimp into small dices the size of soybeans, and stir them with the peas until the minced chicken is evenly mixed. Cut the scallions into short strips.

The water-fat sea cucumbers are boiled in boiling water, cooled in cold water, and then wiped with a clean cloth, and the sea cucumbers are dipped in flour, and the minced chicken is placed in the sea cucumbers, smoothed by hand, and placed on a flat plate. Steam for about ten minutes. Time control is also very important.

Add cooked lard in the spoon as the base oil, use shredded green onion to cook in the pot, add seasoning, put the two-handed spoon into the broth, gently push the main ingredients into the spoon, skim off the foam after the soup boils, burn it to taste, add the tender sugar color, adjust the color Taste, thicken the starch, beat the oil, turn over the spoon, and slip the main ingredients into the plate.

The last is Shili Ginkgo.

Shili Ginkgo is a local traditional famous dish, and Shili Ginkgo made with ginkgo is one of the most famous dishes in Confucian Mansion. This dish is fragrant and sweet, flexible and muscular, which can relieve hangover and relieve cough. The finished dish is like amber, fresh and light, crisp and sweet, very pleasant.

The method is very simple, the key is that the control of the heat is very demanding. The ginkgo fruit must be peeled and boiled until soft. Pay attention to the heat when cooking, so that the marinade must be thick and not stick to the pan or burnt.

Moreover, ginkgo is poisonous and should not be eaten too much. Everyone has a limit.

Shell the ginkgo fruit, soak it in alkaline water to peel off the skin, then put it in a pot of boiling water for a while to remove the bitterness, then put it in the pot to boil and take it out.

Heat up lard in a frying pan, add sugar, and when it is silvery red, add water, sugar, honey, osmanthus sauce, pour in ginkgo fruit until the juice is thick, pour lard on top, and serve in a shallow soup plate.

Fifth Jinchuan saw that Zhou Mochen was making new dishes and started recording. There is no way that Zhou Mochen is cooking too fast, and if you don’t pay attention, you often can’t see clearly what he is cooking. And he doesn't like to talk while cooking.

"Master, you made a new dish today. I haven't seen you cook it before."

Fifth Jinchuan didn't dare to talk to Zhou Mochen until he saw Zhou Mochen finished the last dish.

"Well, a new dish. This ginkgo fruit can be made, but customers should be reminded not to eat too much. It is medicine and poison. Eating less is good for the body."

Zhou Mochen specially reminded Fifth Jinchuan. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if ordinary people can't stop tasting this dish. Although not life-threatening. But it's not very good either.

"Yeah, I got it, Master."

Fifth Jinchuan hurriedly took notes to note down the precautions.

"Okay, I'll leave the kitchen to you."

After speaking, Zhou Mochen went to change his work clothes.

When I came out, I wanted to call Zhao Jinmai and the others, but I didn't expect to be invited in. You don't need to ask to know that Wu Jing is here to invite you.

Smiling and shaking his head, he thought to himself, I'm really worried that I won't be able to pass. Then Ling Zihan arranged for someone to bring some wine in. He also went to the box with him.

"Xiaochen, it's just right, I'll be waiting for you. I can't bear it if I don't come again. I added a new trick today."

Wu Jing saw Zhou Mochen coming in and hurriedly greeted him to let him pass.

"I kept you waiting for a long time. Brother Jing, didn't you tell you to eat first? It's not good to wait for me."

Zhou Mochen looked at the dishes on the table without moving his chopsticks. Said helplessly.

"Stop rambling, drink some wine. Let's satisfy our cravings today."

Wu Jing stopped talking to him, and asked for a bottle of Raochun to open.

And Zhao Jinmai also took a bottle of Huaxi and filled all the ladies present with wine.

I just came in and chatted for a while, they are all people in the circle, and I gradually became acquainted with each other.

"Everyone, please, try my handicrafts. By the way, don't eat too much of the Shili ginkgo. It's good for your health. If you eat too much, it's not good. It's easy to be poisoned."

After Zhou Mochen finished pouring the wine, he smiled and invited everyone to taste the delicious food on the table.

"Huh? Ginkgo, it's ginkgo, Xiaochen."

Li Xuejian knew what it was as soon as he heard it, and it looked like it when the food was served just now, but it was so exquisite that he couldn't believe it was ginkgo. As soon as I heard the name, I knew it was Bai Guo without a doubt.

"Ms. Li is amazing. Ordinary people really can't recognize it. Oh yes, this ginkgo fruit is from Mr. Li's hometown. These three dishes are made according to the taste of Mr. Li's hometown."

Zhou Mochen smiled, explained, and then pointed to three of the Confucian banquet dishes.

"Haha, thank you Xiaochen. I haven't eaten the dish from my hometown for a long time. It looks a little friendly. Ginkgo fruit is a good thing. I really can't eat too much. Let me taste the taste of this dish first."

Li Xuejian was very happy to hear that. Looking at Zhou Mochen's exceptional gentleness. Then dig out a few ginkgo nuts with a public spoon.

After Li Xuejian moved his chopsticks, everyone else moved their chopsticks one after another. At first, I was a little reserved, after all, I have to maintain the etiquette of eating when I go out.

After the delicious food bloomed in his mouth, he was stunned for a moment, Wu Jing and the others often ate it, and smiled when he saw everyone's reaction.

After being relieved, I thought to God TM etiquette, what kind of thing is that. What matters is eating.

"Okay, you are indeed a master of culinary arts. Amazing!"

Li Xuejian, an old man who usually has few desires for clear soup, can't help feeling greedy, greedy for this delicious food. For a moment, he recalled the taste of his hometown when he was a child. We can turn decay into magic.

"I am ashamed, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Thank you for coming, Xiaochen brings a glass of boji, I respect everyone!"

Zhou Mochen stood up, smiled slightly and said something.

"Hehe, Xiaochen, when did you learn how to write?"

Wu Jing laughed immediately after hearing this. Made a joke.

"Isn't there a respected senior here? Let's do it first."

After speaking, he drank it in one gulp.

Everyone just woke up from the temptation of delicious food, and was lured in again by fine wine.

"Hey, I still enjoy the wine and food here. I've been on the road show for so many days, and my mouth faded like a bird."

Wu Jing said with emotion.

"It's really amazing. No wonder you have to grab a box to eat here."

Liu Dehua nodded, he is not such a picky eater, he can eat everything, and he is not that particular. Few of the delicacies he has eaten over the years can compare with Zhou Mochen's craftsmanship.

"Brother Hua, this kid is just a little lazy. There are only 4 tables of guests a day. Only at night. Ours is a spare box. If you want to come next time, just tell Xiaochen in advance. If no one uses it on the day You can come."

Wu Jing, the elder brother, directly made the decision for Zhou Mochen. The latter smiled and said nothing. Not everyone can get him to open the spare box. Obviously Andy Lau is among them.

"Haha, Xiaochen, do you recognize what Brother Jing said?"

Liu Dehua asked with a smile.

"Admit it. I will admit everything my Brother Jing says. I just don't admit that sentence of being lazy. I'm very hardworking, okay?"

Zhou Mochen said something as a matter of course. Seeing his expression, everyone looked at Wu Jing in surprise. The next half sentence made everyone laugh.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back."

Jing Tian almost spit out, thinking that you are still hardworking. In addition to making us breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening. What are you like at other times, do you have no points in your heart? He dares to say that he is hardworking, a character who can sit but never stand, can lie down and never sit.

Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai also looked at each other and smiled.

"Look, what I said, your sister has exposed your old background."

Wu Jing knew it at a glance, this kid must be lazy than he imagined.

"Ahem, you don't understand, life lies in stillness. I will definitely live a long life in the future."

Zhou Mochen looked helplessly at his wife and sister, they were really pig teammates. Then he hid his embarrassment.

"Stinky boy, there are a lot of nonsense, cheers, drink."

Wu Jing grumbled with a smile, and picked up the wine glass.

Driven by Wu Jing and Zhou Mochen, the atmosphere became much more lively. After drinking a glass of wine, everyone gradually let go. After all, he is a battle-tested person, so even the most delicious wine will control the amount.

And Zhou Mochen didn't toast and persuade them to drink too much, just casually, and after toasting Liu Dehua and Li Xuejian alone, he didn't toast alone again, and everyone didn't say anything after watching it. There will be no opinions.

The banquet lasted until about 9 o'clock. Everyone is almost drunk.

When the person left, another group of gift boxes were sent out. It was mainly aimed at Andy Lau and Li Xue, and the others were incidental.

When Liu Dehua left, he also told Zhou Mochen to go to Hong Kong when he was free, and he would do his best to be a landlord. Zhou Mochen responded with a smile. Contact information was then exchanged. He also took the initiative to ask for the contact information of Li Xuejian and Sha Yi.

Others were handed over to their daughter-in-law to add and exchange. This is a little bit of accumulation of contacts for her. Although she is young, she understands.

After the sender left, Zhou Mochen and the others also went home.

"Husband, it's okay for us to go to Hong Kong once we get married. I rarely go there, and I want to go around."

Zhao Jinmai, who got into the car, leaned on Zhou Mochen and whispered.

"Okay, then I'll take a long vacation and take you out on a honeymoon."

Zhou Mochen caressed Zhao Jinmai's pretty face and said with a smile.

"Ah? Can you still take a long vacation? What about those guests."

Zhao Jinmai asked curiously. She knew that once Zhou Mochen took a long vacation, the private restaurant would close its doors.

"Why can't I take my wedding leave? It's okay. It's up to me to settle them down then."

Zhou Mochen said something indifferently.

"I said God Zhou, you won't want to silence me in a while. Did I hear something I shouldn't hear?"

The master driving for Zhou Mochen felt that he had heard something extraordinary. marry? Marriage leave? Is this something he can hear? The surrogate driver often drives for Zhou Mochen, so he has been familiar with him for a long time.

"What do you say, let me know that the news has leaked out. Next time you go to a restaurant, you will get drunk every time you go. I said it."

Zhou Mochen said something with a smile. A flat tone is a threat.

"God Zhou, don't worry, we've known each other for so long, don't you know what kind of person my old Liu is? I will definitely keep it a secret for you."

The surrogate driver was immediately persuaded, and he often went to the restaurant to eat. Every time I choose the day when Zhou Mochen goes. So we can often meet for a drink together.

"It's almost the same. Three years old, look, isn't this one problem?"

Zhou Mochen spread his hands and said something.

"I don't care about you."

Zhao Jinmai was defeated by her husband's rascal appearance. Rolled his eyes.

But he did consider taking Zhao Jinmai on honeymoon after getting married. He had known her for so long, and he hadn't taken her much to travel. The time of the two of them is not so easy to manage. The most similar thing to traveling is when you go home for the holidays.

After the two returned home, Zhao Jinmai was fine, but Zhou Mochen was inevitably rejected again.

"Meow meow!"

A familiar expression and tone appeared on Pudding. It came and it came again.

"Stinky Pudding, you are already a mature and sensible cat, you can't always dislike your father, you know?"

Zhou Mochen argued with Pudding angrily. He was still answered by two meows. However, his tone has changed, and he just ran farther.

"Haha, our pudding just hates you. Let you drink so much wine."

Zhao Jinmai laughed when he saw the interaction between Zhou Mochen and Pudding.

"It doesn't matter if it dislikes me, as long as you don't dislike me."

After speaking, he pulled his hands, hugged Zhao Jinmai in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss Zhao Jinmai. In fact, the smell of alcohol on Zhou Mochen's body was not very strong. It's just that Pudding's nose is a little sensitive.

And at this time, Zhao Jinmai didn't feel much of the smell of wine, but more of the fragrance of tea. After eating, Zhou Mochen asked people to make a lot of tea. Everyone chatted for a while.

His hands involuntarily wrapped around Zhou Mochen's neck. Indulge in his tenderness.

After the two separated for a long time, Zhao Jinmai's face was already rosy.

"Hmph, rascal!"

Zhao Jinmai gave Zhou Mochen a white look.

"No matter how rascal you are, it's your husband. Let's go, let's take a shower and go to sleep."

Zhou Mochen scratched Zhao Jinmai's nose with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Zhao Jinmai responded and let Zhou Mochen lead him to the bedroom.

"I said verbs!"

Zhou Mochen turned his head and explained again.

"Hate!"

Zhao Jinmai's face became even more rosy, and he patted Zhou Mochen lightly, and muttered.

Zhou Mochen, who wanted to take a bath together, was pushed in first by Zhao Jinmai. She herself ran to the cloakroom. Opened the closet. Seeing those furry ears, Zhao Jinmai glanced into the bathroom and snorted coldly.

After Zhou Mochen came out of the shower, Zhao Jinmai went in with the bag. It took a while to wash it out. And after Zhou Mochen saw Zhao Jinmai's appearance, his blood almost flowed backwards. Which of the test cadres can stand the test?

Under Zhao Jinmai's exclamation, the frighteningly fast Zhou Mochen had already hugged her into his arms.

Then he told Zhao Jinmai a long, long story, the protagonist of which was a little white fox.

Zhao Jinmai listened with gusto. Zhou Mochen also repeated it three times before she gave up.

"Good wife, why are you thinking about wearing this suit today? You're still so clingy."

Zhou Mochen slowed down for a while, stroked Zhao Jinmai's beautiful hair, and said softly.

"I'm leaving early in the morning the day after tomorrow. I won't see you for a long time. I can't bear you, my husband. Do you like it or not?"

Zhao Jinmai's voice at the moment was soft and very tempting. Fortunately, Zhou Mochen resisted, otherwise he would have to tell a story again, but that would be another story.

"I like it. Silly girl. I asked Sister Hua. The director and investor this time are just old acquaintances with Sister Hua. The relationship is not as good as I imagined. Be careful when you go to the crew, we don't need it now." If you are wronged, if you are not happy, you will not shoot, and we can still afford the liquidated damages.”

Zhou Mochen thought for a while and said. Although Zhou Mochen's reputation has been spread now, he is afraid of those who do not follow the rules. After all, some things are not easy to control when he goes to the crew. Unless the director is his own.

"I know, don't worry. I am very powerful now. Anyone who dares to bully me, I will beat him!"

Zhao Jinmai immediately laughed, and raised his small fist.

"Okay! My husband will support you. Just as long as you are happy."

Zhou Mochen kissed her forehead fondly and said something.
