Gourmet conquest starts from the entertainment industry

"Master Zhou! Is there anything I can do for you?"

After Ouyang Shaoqi arrived in the kitchen, he saw Zhou Mochen who was busy and said.

"Just call me Xiaochen. Master Ouyang has nothing to do if he wants to help."

Zhou Mochen replied with a smile.

"Hehe, I'm here to steal my teacher, so naturally I should respect it."

Ouyang Shaoqi said jokingly.

"Okay, I want to learn and I will teach you."

After speaking, he arranged work for Ouyang Shaoqi.

After a busy day, I finished all the things that should be dealt with, and there is only cooking for tomorrow, and I will start making it tomorrow morning. Ouyang Shaoqi didn't leave for a moment, and when he was handling the ingredients, he even asked questions, and Zhou Mochen didn't hide his secrets, so he explained it clearly to him.

There are also many dishes in the pro-fan banquet, and there are also specific drinks. It was a little different from the last New Year's Eve banquet. And there are more rules. Zhou Mochen also asked Qin Zongsheng in advance, and directly trained the waiters of the State Banquet Hotel in advance. I have to say that the quality of the waiters here is really good. Learn things quickly.

There are some links in the middle that need to be dealt with by them, but some changes have also been made. For example, it is needed in the tea table Mingxu, with ancient music accompaniment, and white jade milk tea presented by a maid from Manchu and Han Dynasties. Then offer incense to celebrate the birthday, ancient music and incense.

In the middle is the link of serving wine. It is called Worshiping Huanjiang, accompanied by music, and the maids of Man and Han worship Kweichow Moutai.

And the farewell tea in the pro-vassal banquet is also Xinyang Maojian.

When I went back in the evening, Zhao Jinmai also got home early, and when I went back, I saw Liu Mei cooking in the kitchen.

"I'm back."

Zhou Mochen had a strange feeling. It's pretty good.

"Dad! Hugs!"

"Daddy hug!"

Zhou Xiangxiang and Zhou Qianqian ran towards Zhou Mochen one after the other.

"Two little heartless people, they only stay with me for a while, and they don't want me as soon as they see Dad, right?"

Zhao Jinmai slapped her daughter's ass angrily.

"Clack!"

"Daddy protect me!"

The two little guys were amused. Go crazy with Zhao Jinmai.

"Okay, you all go to wash your hands, it's time to eat."

Liu Mei came out of the kitchen and said.

"Got it, mom."

"Dinner!"

The family of four immediately went to the bathroom to wash their hands.

At the dinner table, Zhao Jinmai also asked about the state banquet. She had never been in, so she was curious. Zhou Mochen felt that the house was a little higher. The others are really nothing, but the defense is very powerful.

After dinner, Zhou Weimin and Liu Mei took the little guy out for a walk. Every day.

"Husband, you said it's good to go to and from work like this, right?"

Zhao Jinmai said with a smirk.

"You. It's not that easy. Whoever goes to and from work gets the same salary as you."

Zhou Mochen smiled, and pinched Zhao Jinmai's cheek.

"Oh, don't pinch my face, it's too big for you. It's not good-looking."

Zhao Jinmai slapped Zhou Mochen's mischievous hand and said.

"When you quit the circle, I will just retire and stay with you. Yingying will almost be able to take over the private restaurant in two years. And I have also found backup staff for the restaurant. There are two little guys I It looks good. After the training of this group of people is over, let them go to the restaurant for internship."

Zhou Mochen thought for a while and said.

"Really? I thought you were going to cook for the rest of your life. You also have a time when you want to retire."

Zhao Jinmai's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile.

"Really, if I want to do it for a lifetime, I will cook for you for a lifetime."

Said Zhou Mochen's doting kiss on Zhao Jinmai's face.

"Hey, hubby, you are so kind. I know. When I have enough filming, I will quit. At least I have to make more money for Sister Hua. She treats me very well."

Zhao Jinmai thought for a while and said. In this way, two people in their 20s finally plan to start retirement life in their 30s.

When the two were immersed in warmth, Zhou Mochen's phone rang.

"Teacher, do you have any orders for tomorrow?"

Zhou Mochen asked when he saw that it was Qin Zongsheng.

"There is just one problem. The TV station knows that what you are going to do this time is the Manchurian banquet. If you want to make a documentary, I don't know if you are willing or not. This is up to you. If you don't want to, the teacher will push it for you. You don't have to What to think about."

Qin Zongsheng said something.

"Okay. You can take pictures if you want, but just don't hinder me from cooking."

Zhou Mochen thought about it and it was nothing. Many things are processed in advance. Besides, without Zhou Mochen's permission, the other chefs can at most cook it for themselves, not for profit.

"Well, you can just figure it out yourself. Then I'll go back to what they said, and I'll see you tomorrow."

Qin Zongsheng said with a smile.

"Don't worry, teacher. I won't embarrass you."

Zhou Mochen replied. The other party hung up the phone.

"It's a pity, I won't be able to eat the dishes you cook tomorrow."

Zhao Jinmai pouted and said.

"What's the matter. I'll just do it for you when I get back to Sioux City. When it comes to documentaries, I have an idea. Think about the details later."

Zhou Mochen thought for a while and said. He won't keep doing this forever. These are all inherited things, and I want to leave something for this world.

"Huh? Do you want to make a documentary of your cooking? Or directly make it into a variety show. Or live broadcast?"

Zhao Jinmai's eyes lit up and said. Since it is a documentary, it must be made into a finished dish. She can have a good taste.

"Let's deal with tomorrow's affairs first, and sort it out."

Zhou Mochen smiled. Caressing Zhao Jinmai's hair.

Zhou Weimin and Liu Mei ran outside for more than an hour with the two little guys before returning home. When you see the child's face, you know what kind of madness is downstairs. Zhou Mochen got up and gave the children some complementary food, fruit fish.

After resting for a while, I bathed the two little ones and put them to sleep. After kissing the little beauty who was well-behaved and sleeping, she fell asleep with the fragrant Zhao Jinmai in her arms.

The next day, when we arrived at the hotel, the people from the program team had already arrived.

"Hello, God Zhou. I'm so happy to meet you. I'm your fan. The host of Imperial TV Station, my name is Ran Zhu."

Ran Zhu was very excited after seeing Zhou Mochen. Yesterday, he heard that the stage was going to record a video of Zhou Mochen cooking. Make a documentary. Immediately proudly and courageously asked to be the host of this program. Although the process was a bit bumpy, the result is good. A phone call went down, and then the green light passed, letting her come. It's a pity that it was exposed too early.

"You're welcome. You don't think the kitchen is too hot. However, the kitchen needs to be changed, and your tools must be disinfected and dusted. This is the minimum respect for food."

Although Zhou Mochen agreed to other people's recording, he is very serious about what he eats, and he must be more particular about finding dishes for foreign guests.

"As expected of my Zhou God. I understand. I understand. Don't worry, someone will take us to deal with it later."

Ran Zhu replied with a smile.

"That's fine. Let's go."

Then he led the crowd in. Half an hour later, everyone gathered in the kitchen, and Ran Zhu and his party really changed into chef's clothes. Everything is also covered with hygienic protection measures.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Master Zhou!"

Others also arrived in the back kitchen one after another. Say hello to Zhou Mochen. Ouyang Shaoqi also followed. If you want to steal a teacher, you will steal a teacher. An upright stealer.

"Teacher Ouyang? Are you here to cook too?"

Ran Zhu obviously knew Ouyang Shaoqi. asked in surprise.

"Well, I'm here to learn cooking from Master Zhou."

Ouyang Shaoqi wasn't embarrassed at all. Zhou Mochen's realm didn't mean that he could break through by cooking more. There was no one to lead the way, and there was no hope in his life. It's not easy in Sucheng, but it's not easy in the imperial capital?

"You really know how to joke. God Zhou, this, is this the menu? There are so many dishes."

Ran Zhu looked at the menu handwritten by Zhou Mochen on the wall, and asked in surprise. Zhou Mochen's handwriting is quite beautiful. The dishes on the wall also entered the recorded video immediately. From distant view to close view, to lines of clear writing.

Farewell to Fragrant Tea: Xinyang Maojian

All the marinades and preserves started yesterday, and by noon today the timing was just right. You can taste the deliciousness of the world at night.

In the morning, I mainly do pastries. Of course, you need to hang the broth.

"God Zhou, are you making pasta?"

Seeing that Zhou Mochen had already started to attack, Ran Zhu had already started to arrive at Zhou Mochen's side, and the camera was aimed at Zhou Mochen. But they didn't get too close, they knew it wasn't a show. Been reminded a few times already.

"Well, this is called Yushan Douhuang. It's very simple to make and tastes good. It tastes better when it's refrigerated."

Zhou Mochen replied. And Ran Zhu watched Zhou Mochen's movements, and began to explain, unexpectedly, it was quite professional.

Yushan Douhuang is a famous dish, which belongs to one of the full banquets of Manchu and Han Dynasties. Peel the almonds, grind them into a pulp, and put them in a basin.

The production method is very simple. Peel the almonds, grind them into a slurry, and put them in a basin.

Add the frozen powder to clear water and heat it up, add sugar and melt again, let it cool down, pour it into the almond pulp and stir well, then pour it into a 1 foot 2 inch large plate and let it cool.

Take out seven strips of almond jelly from the middle with a knife according to the fan shape. Cut pea yellow into strips the same size as almond strips, put them on a plate, and carve a round pea yellow at the bottom of the fan.

Then use pea yellow and cut into 7 long filaments as fan bones. Cut the golden cake into silk as spikes. Then decorate the sides of the plate and serve.

But it wasn't time to use it yet, so Zhou Mochen sealed it up and put it in the refrigerator. It is delicious when eaten cold at night.

Women generally have no resistance to this kind of jelly-shaped pastry, let alone Zhou Mochen made it. She wanted to try it, but she couldn't say a word. There was no way, who made this dish not something she could eat. At this moment, she really regretted coming to record the show.

But the effect was great, and then Zhou Mochen made sesame rolls, golden cakes and other snacks. What Ran Zhu saw was salivating. Under Ran Zhu's commentary, the overall style of the program has been improved. As expected of the host of Imperial TV Station. The foundation is not ordinary.

Sesame roll is a classic traditional snack, which belongs to one of the Manchu banquets. Wash the sesame seeds with clean water, control the clean water, put them into the pot, fry them with a slow fire until golden brown, crush the sesame seeds with a mallet, add sugar and stir well. Generally, the sesame seeds used to make this kind of dim sum are black sesame seeds.

Gold Cake, also known as Jing Cake and Hawthorn Cake, is a traditional specialty cake. It is made of hawthorn as the main ingredient, accompanied by white sugar and sweet-scented osmanthus. In addition to eating it cut into pieces, it can also be sprinkled with sugar or mixed with shredded pears. It is sweet and sour, soft and delicious.

The method is also very simple. Wash the red fruit with clean water, put it in a copper pot, pour in clean water, cook for 10 minutes on high heat, remove the red fruit and wipe it with shilo, remove the skin and seeds, and put it in a pot with osmanthus sauce for later use. The red fruit is hawthorn!

Pour clean water into the copper pot, add sugar, bring to a boil on high heat, and boil for 15 minutes. At the same time, put the starch into another copper pot, pour in water, and boil until the starch dissolves.

Pour the boiled sugar water into the pot containing the red fruit, stir it in one direction quickly while it is hot, then pour in the melted starch water, and stir it evenly. Then pour it into a 7-point-high rectangular iron mold and spread it flat, and cover with a piece of thin oiled paper. After cooling, cut into 5-minute square pieces and put them on the plate. This kind of golden cake can also be refrigerated and reused, and the effect of refrigerated consumption in this season is still good.

Zhou Mochen spent the whole morning preparing ingredients and making snacks. Pasta making. There are two staple foods in the pro-vassal banquet, one is dragon beard noodles. One is minced meat biscuits.

Minced pork biscuits are dream-fulfilling biscuits, a traditional snack in BJ’s palace. According to legend, they got their name because they fulfilled the Empress Dowager Cixi’s dream, which symbolizes that dreams come true, and has the meaning of wishing those who eat them health and longevity, promotion and wealth. This sesame seed cake is a combination of the main and the auxiliary, the sesame seed cake is crispy, the minced meat is oily and fresh, the outside is burnt and the inside is crispy, salty and slightly sweet.

In fact, it is similar to Roujiamo, except that the fillings inside are fried. And the noodles for sesame seed cakes are also particular.

Dissolve the yeast and sugar with water, pour into the flour in portions, knead into a dough, and let it double in size. The risen dough is lined up, rolled into strips, and divided into equal-sized noodles.

Take 1 dose, flatten it with your hands, and pull a small piece of dough from the next dose, and wrap the sticky oil into the dough. Tighten the mouth and pull off the excess dough on the top, so that a dough is wrapped.

After wrapping, press flat, brush the surface with sugar water, stick sesame seeds, compact the sesame seeds with your hands, and slightly shape them. Place sesame side up on a baking sheet. 200 degrees, bake up and down for 20 minutes. middle level.

The stuffing is made of pork, fry the minced ginger and chives in oil, and add the pork stuffing. Stir-fry until the color changes and the grains are distinct. Add yellow sauce, salt, sugar, rice wine and stir well.

Then add shiitake mushrooms and continue to fry. After 2 minutes, stir-fry the green and red peppers to give out the aroma, add MSG and put it on a plate. When eating, cut the biscuits open, take out the oil core, and put in the fried minced meat.

Because we had to order dinner at noon, Zhou Mochen made an extra part, and it was all for lunch. All that's left is to knead the dough out.

Each person is served with a few minced meat pancakes and a bowl of longxu noodles.

Longxu noodles are one of the traditional banquet noodle varieties in northern China. It is a food evolved from Shandong noodles and has a history of more than 300 years. Longxu noodles are noodles of the Han nationality, which are popular in the vast areas of the north. They are thin and long noodles shaped like dragon whiskers. On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, the dragon raises its head, and there is a custom of eating dragon beard noodles. It has become common food for residents and is eaten all year round.

"Dragon Beard Noodles" uses simple materials, but the process is difficult. The key is three rings.

Knead the noodles, the noodles are moderately soft, smooth and flexible when kneaded.

Slip and stretch. Grab both ends of the surface, apply force evenly, and shake up and down.

Cross-transposition, cross repeatedly, make the noodles "cooked" and smooth. Put the long strip on the table, press the strip with both hands, with the left hand inward and the right hand outward, rub the strip vigorously, lift the two ends, shake and stretch, then put it on the chopping board, fold the two strips in half, and sprinkle the noodles so that the strip does not stick. In this way, La Kun Chengsi is discounted in half.

fried. Pay attention to the oil temperature not to be high, and the operation should be "three light". Put the noodles that are about to be stretched into the oil pan lightly, use chopsticks to gently stir the noodles, fry until firm and light milky yellow, gently remove from the pan, and make salty dragon whiskers noodle. The noodles are uniform, not tied, not continuous, sweet and crisp.

The best pairing of dragon beard noodles is cuttlefish and grass prawns.

Put cuttlefish, eggs, grass shrimp, clams, shiitake mushrooms, fish fillets, and pea pods into a bowl, pour in a small portion of seasoning, cover with medium-high heat for 4 minutes.

Place remaining seasoning in a large soup bowl, cover and bring to a boil for 4 minutes over high heat. Put the noodles into the soup, arrange other ingredients neatly on the noodles, pour in the soup together, cover with medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and chili powder.

There are also special things in the way of seasoning, one tablespoon of chopped green onion and half a teaspoon of chili powder. Two cups of hot fish soup, one teaspoon of refined salt, one teaspoon of ginger wine juice, and one teaspoon of sugar. Just mix well.

One person made a bowl of enough noodles and several minced pork pancakes.

"Zhou Shen, what you cook here is really delicious. I didn't eat noodles very much before."

Ran Zhu took a bite of the noodles and didn't recover for a long time. Although she was a fan of Zhou Mochen, she had never eaten Zhou Mochen's dishes. This is the first time to taste it, an attempt is a lifetime mistake. It will be difficult to eat later.

"Great time!"

The staff is completely happy now. They never expected to come here to work and have a big meal. Although it is just simple noodles and biscuits, they can guarantee that if others know about this kind of treatment, they will definitely come here.

Not to mention, there are really nosy people who took pictures of the dragon beard noodles and minced pork pancakes. Send it to the TV station's usual staff group.

"Hey, I can only deal with noodles and biscuits for lunch. How pitiful."

After sending the message, I also sent a photo.

"Didn't you go to the State Banquet Hotel for filming? Why didn't they care about food at noon, they only gave noodles and biscuits. This is too sloppy."

"That's right. It's so pitiful. We're still eating set meals. Oh, the chicken legs and beef are so delicious. Do you want to save some for you?"

"Haha, let me just say, you may not be able to eat good food when you go to the State Banquet Hotel. You see, each of you is in a hurry to go there."

"That's true, but although they are simple noodles and sesame cakes, they are also made by God Zhou himself. Eat as much as you can. It's just to fill your stomach."

"Fuck, brothers, draw your knives, this shit is too bad, and it's here in Versailles."

"Don't be ashamed, you guys, this chicken leg and beef will lose their flavor in an instant."

"It's too much, you give me back my fried chicken legs, nothing tastes good right now."

"Brother, let's make a deal and leave a biscuit for me. I saw that there are quite a lot of biscuits. Bring one back and try it. I invite you to drink tonight."

"That's right. One biscuit and one meal of wine, it's definitely worth it."

Seeing colleagues scrambling to bid one by one, the guys who were eating happily couldn't help laughing. But sometimes the food will disappear if you don't pay attention to it.

"Wow! I'm so full. God Zhou is so grateful. I've never eaten such a delicious thing."

Ran Zhu patted his stomach in satisfaction, he didn't want any image of a beautiful woman anymore.

"As long as you like it."

Zhou Mochen said with a smile. Then I thought about it and asked again.

"Do you usually do private work?"

"Ahem, God Zhou, what is private work?"

Ran Zhu almost choked to death.

"It's the same as this. I want to shoot some cooking videos, and your explanation is good. If I can accept private work, I would like to ask you to help with the filming. Of course, it is not a dish-by-dish shooting, just like this. Other banquets of the Manchu Banquet, There are also Confucian Mansion Banquet, Shaowei Banquet, Tan Family Cuisine, etc. I want to leave something for the culinary world. There is no need to hide some things."

Zhou Mochen thought for a while and said. I thought about using the live broadcast method, and then found that the recording method in the morning was also good.

"Is God Zhou real? Can you really record all of them? Are you afraid that they will learn it all and use it for profit after the protection period?"

Ran Zhu obviously understood the rules inside.

"It's okay, I don't mind, I'm spreading what I've learned. And I'm teaching some people how to cook?"

Zhou Mochen said with a smile. Things at the training base have been raging for a long time. Although the first batch of students haven't come out yet, everyone knows that Zhou Mochen is not just fooling people.

"God Zhou, you are worthy of being my idol. Don't worry, even if you can't take on private work, I will take care of it for you, just leave it to me. If they don't let me do it, I will resign and go myself."

Ran Zhu patted his chest and said proudly. (end of this chapter)
