Gourmet conquest starts from the entertainment industry
Chapter 8 Learning Never Ends
Zhou Mochen returned home, finished handling the crayfish first, and then drank tea and read a book. This time, he watched the inheritance of a dish over and over again, tirelessly. What you look at is not the process, but the feeling when seasoning. The heat can be observed through the feedback of the food itself. It's easier to control.
Seasoning is very difficult, and when all the masters teach seasoning, they will sum it up in one sentence. Who is suitable for the amount and how much is this amount? Many people are really elusive about this point. This is just the foundation. A true master is best at stimulating the most essential aroma and umami of food.
So many masters cook the same dish, but the taste is very different. Small changes can affect the taste of the dish.
Zhou Mochen is also looking for the right touch in the seasoning again and again. Seeing is one thing, meeting is another. First of all, you must know how much a spoonful of salt is, how much sugar is, and how much pepper is so that you can better control the secret of seasoning.
The afternoon was spent in Zhou Mochen's non-stop grabbing and weighing of seasonings. Only those who are persistent and hardworking can accomplish great things. Zhou Mochen is such a person. Not only patient, but also lonely.
Zhou Mochen had almost mastered this technique in one afternoon. You can grab as much as you want. I heard that a good doctor didn't even weigh the medicine when he took the medicine, so he did it directly. Not bad at all. I guess that's how it worked out.
When we arrived at the store, Jiang Yingying was already open for business. It's early today, and it's not time for dinner yet, so the door is still deserted. Quickly unload and park to prepare for the arrival of the army.
"Qianqian, you haven't gone out all day, and you have ruined a good time." Li Xin looked helplessly at the desperate Sanniang who was still in the studio.
"Isn't this inspiration coming? Besides, why do you go out? Isn't it good to make money by painting at home?" Su Qian said angrily without raising her head.
"I really don't understand you. You have earned a lot these years, but you spend a little. Dress up, buy some luxury things." Li Xin looked like he hated iron for nothing.
"I'm naturally beautiful, why didn't I buy it? The house and car are not luxurious enough. It cost me hundreds of dollars." Su Qian rolled her eyes.
"Don't bother to talk about you, just be a house girl. Don't go out at night, I'm going to eat crayfish. I was busy yesterday and didn't see brother Mochen. I want to meet you today, ah no, it's eating Crayfish." Li Xin deliberately played tricks in front of Su Qian.
"Don't worry, that's the way to go. I suddenly feel that my inspiration is exhausted, and food can inspire me." Su Qian heard the crayfish stand up.
Li Xin looked at Su Qian's energetic state, and was speechless. The two things that this best friend cares about most are painting and food.
"Then let's go. It's dinner time, and your little heart will be gone if you go late."
Su Qian tidied up quickly. Follow Li Xin and drive to the snack street.
Looking at the busy Zhou Mochen, Su Qian subconsciously picked up the phone and took a few photos. Today's Zhou Mochen is deeper than yesterday's and also mixed with fireworks. The whole picture looks harmonious and mysterious. How can a painter let such a wonderful picture disappear.
Zhou Mochen subconsciously verified what he had learned in the past two days, and he became more focused and thoughtful when making crayfish. Seasoning, as the crayfish comes out of the pan one by one, he can basically grasp what the right amount is. Of course, this is only suitable for crayfish.
At this time, there was still a long queue in front of the store.
Everyone likes to join in the fun, and people who don’t know why are eating melons slowly joined the team. Some of them thought that the price of lobster was too high and wanted to back off, but they let it go after the communication from the fans around. "Idea", just kidding, it happens to be purchased in limited quantities, and the tool man delivered to your door can make you run away.
Of course, there are rebels among them. I can't stop smelling the fragrance. I have long forgotten that I am a proxy buyer. The tool man who thought it was expensive before tasted a lobster, and the expression on his face was indescribable.
"Oh, it's so delicious!" It's hard to believe that this person is the same person who clamored that only sand sculptures can buy such expensive crayfish.
In this beautiful and contradictory atmosphere, Zhou Mochen's lobster performance is coming to an end. It's all over at 9:10. A little faster than yesterday.
"Ruoxue, Ruoxue, brother Mochen seems handsome again. What to do, what to do, it's too attractive."
"You little hoof, pay attention to me, this is my male god, I will give you a chance to reorganize the language."
"Xiao Ruoxue, you can't grasp this level, let my sister come."
"Go away, all go away. Bite you."
Murong Ruoxue saw the more and more explicit words of the little sisters in the support group, she gritted her teeth and flashed her two little canine teeth. Suddenly sighed again, this year's fans are really difficult.
This small group of a few hundred people is really Zhou Mochen's support group, created by Murong Ruoxue after posting a video for the first time. Murong Ruoxue, who had nothing to do during the summer vacation, has been shooting videos every day for the past two days. As more and more people pay attention, the number of fans also increases.
Zhou Mochen never imagined that he still has a fan base of hundreds of people.
At the same time, another group of fake fans also attacked Zhou Mochen in the video comment area.
"Brother Mochen, you're getting more and more outrageous when you speak rudely, and it's ending sooner and earlier. You know you're leaving early, don't you?"
"That's right, the company worked overtime today, and it was gone by the end of get off work. Sad. It made me go for nothing. You have to give us an explanation."
"Yes, give us an explanation."
Zhou Mochen who was resting for a while looked at the netizen's information and smiled unkindly.
"A notification has been sent."
A mouthful of old blood spurted out.
"Old thief, I have never seen such a brazen person."
"Forgive me for laughing unkindly. Quack!"
After a break, Zhou Mochen also started preparing dinner. Zhou Mochen is going to cook a hometown dish in a small city. When I flipped through the book today, I saw that it was both pasta and vegetables.
Take out the remaining chicken in the morning, rinse and drain the water, turn on the heat and heat the pan, then turn to low heat and pour oil, add onion, ginger, garlic, spices, stir-fry on low heat, stir-fry until fragrant, put the chicken into the pot and stir-fry on low heat , Stir-fry the dry chicken water, fry out the oil, then add light soy sauce to enhance the taste, and soy sauce to enhance the color. After the color of the chicken changes slightly, pour hot water over the chicken, season to taste, and turn to medium heat to simmer.
After the process of stewing the chicken was over, Zhou Mochen started kneading the dough. Add appropriate amount of flour and add water little by little, the noodles should not be too soft, but chewy. Knead in cold water. Knead the dough well and roll it into a thin dough. Cut into diamond shapes, spread the dough on the soup when the chicken is almost ready, cover it, simmer for a few minutes, add green peppers and stir fry, and collect the juice on high heat.
The chicken is tender and has a strong aroma of braised sauce. The noodle skin is soaked in the soup, full of flavor. And tenacity. tasty. This is a hometown dish in a small city, called Qihamo Braised Chicken. It is a delicacy that can be served as both a dish and a meal.
Jiang Yingying didn't expect to be able to eat so well at night. I dare not even think about it at home. She loves this dish, it has an earthy feel. It's like a big pot stew in my hometown, with a strong taste that makes people linger.
"Little friend, can I have a taste of your cooking."
Qin Zongsheng came to Sucheng for a gathering at the invitation of an old friend. He is old and retired, so the gathering is less than once. He arrived one day earlier than to disturb others, but found a pastoral hotel to stay in, he was old and nostalgic. After dinner, I want to go shopping in the old street.
The old man is a chef by profession, but he has retired now. Although he is a bit older, his five senses are not weak at all. It is rare in the world to be a chef. Qin Zongsheng is one of them.
Habitually looking at places with delicious food, I nodded and shook my head. When he reached the door of Qinghe Yipin Store, he stopped. There is something about this fragrance. I couldn't help but walked into the store and saw two young people eating.
Qin Zongsheng, who likes food, has never seen this kind of practice, so he couldn't help but ask a question under the temptation of the fragrance.
"Okay, old man, sit down, Yingying brings a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Just eat, don't be disgusted." Zhou Mochen turned his head and saw an old man with extraordinary temperament entering the store. He didn't think too much about it. It was his honor that others wanted to taste the delicacies he made, and it was great to be recognized by others. Regardless of the identity of the visitor, they are all his diners. He understands!
"Grandpa, sit down." Jiang Yingying didn't have any opinion on this strange old man, she could do whatever the boss asked her to do. Quickly hand over the bowls and chopsticks.
"Okay, okay, thank you!" Qin Zongsheng sat down generously, took the bowl and chopsticks and thanked him.
Pick up a piece of chicken, smell it slightly, and bite off a piece to savor it carefully. He ate another piece of dough, showing no expression or saying anything.
The other two didn't speak, and Zhou Mochen signaled Jiang Yingying to eat without disturbing the old man.
Qin Zongsheng stopped moving his chopsticks after eating a few yuan, his expression seemed to be admiration, like surprise, and finally turned into a trace of relief.
The two sides had a tacit understanding and didn't bother each other until after the meal, Jiang Yingying started to pack her things, and Zhou Mochen took out the tea set she brought to make a pot of tea. Drink a lot of water every day, plain water is too tasteless. So Zhou Mochen took a set of things from the family.
"Please, old man." Zhou Mochen's tea making skills are also quite beautiful. Cooperating with his temperament is always incompatible with the style of this store. Among the conflicts, he was even more prominent.
"Good tea, good workmanship, fragrant lips and teeth, full of charm! Xiaoyou is an interesting person." Qin Zongsheng tasted it.
"Grandpa, I'm so honored." When it's time to be humble, you should still be humble.
"Who did you learn from, my little friend? The foundation is very solid. I have already made my own way, and it's rare to be so young. There are only a few old guys in the circle. Could it be said that they are closed disciples?" Qin Zongsheng opened his mouth and said his doubts .
"I'm sorry old man, I haven't entered the room yet, master is not allowed to mention his name." I tell you that you don't know either. It is still necessary to find a mysterious master for yourself.
"I really want to see your master's demeanor. This kind of craftsmanship has not yet entered the classroom, so your master's requirements are quite high." Qin Zongsheng also knows that there are many hidden masters. Probably one of them. This apprentice is really talented.
"The old man is too much, I still have a lot to learn." Modesty makes people progress. There is no place for me to jump around at the apprentice level, so I should study honestly, Zhou Mochen thought to himself but didn't show much.
"Then you are..., according to your craftsmanship, it shouldn't be." Qin Zongsheng looked at the storefront with differences.
"Well, Master asked me to be self-reliant. I am still an apprentice. I haven't verified it yet. The resources are also given by Master." Zhou Mochen knew what he was going to ask, and there was nothing to hide.
"Ang..., it's a pity. Your master is also very skilled. This tea and this ingredient are not simple." Qin Zongsheng's expression changed several times.
"This is my phone number. If you have any cooking problems in the future, you can talk to me. I will go back the day after tomorrow. I will recommend it to you. You don't need to wait for the time. If you think you can pass it, just go directly Go to the exam. Don't feel embarrassed. The food industry needs young people like you." Qin Zongsheng solemnly explained the matter of the exam. It's time for this circle to let fresh blood stimulate motivation. Otherwise, it would be impossible for one or two of them to boast of being extraordinary and full of arrogance.
"Thank you, old man, your surname, junior Zhou Mochen." Zhou Mochen accepted the phone number without any courtesy. The improvement of cooking skills to the end must require more communication. You can't do things behind closed doors.
"Old man Qin Zongsheng. Thank you for your hospitality." After drinking tea, he left with a smile.
Zhou Mochen knew that the old man was not an ordinary person, but he never expected to be so powerful. A search of information on the Internet came up.
Qin Zongsheng, 65 years old this year. Qin is the Qin of Qin. Founding Fathers family. A chef at the bulk level, the number one person in the state banquet, now retired, the general counsel of the Culinary Arts Association, has participated in many global culinary competitions and won honors for the country. I like to support talented young people. There are many junior disciples in the culinary art world, and they all respect him very much.
Is the world that small? Any old man you meet is a god-level figure. Zhou Mochen was just joking. No matter how high a master is, is there a God of Cookery? You don't need to envy anyone with Wang Zang four in your hand, but you still need to use the relationship, at least you don't have to wait until the next quarter for verification. Although he is not in a hurry, he also wants to test his own strength.
Say hello to Jiang Yingying and go home. The law and order of Qin State is still very good, which also benefits from the strength of the country. I live in a public rental housing, which is safer, so there is no need to worry about the little girl going home alone.
Things went smoothly, and the time was finally sufficient. After reading so many days of books, Zhou Mochen didn't start his daily routine. Zhou Mochen came home early today and started his daily training. Base.
Knife skills are a compulsory course for chefs. Zhou Mochen himself is good at knife skills, and the inheritance is even more powerful. He has seen various knife skills and broadened his horizons. Simple fasting can no longer satisfy him, and he thinks more about what will happen to the ingredients under the knife. After all, the color in the color and fragrance of a food refers to the shape of the color and luster of the dish. Don't be careless.
There is no shortcut to knife skills, only hands-on skills. With more practice, Zhou Mochen's knife skills have reached the middle stage of entering the room, and there is still a long way to go before being perfect.
The five realms of culinary art: a little success, a master, a proficient master, a mastery of mastery, and reaching the pinnacle correspond to the level of the qualification certificate. Zhou Mochen's knife skills are the top level of a second-tier chef.
There are also special circumstances in the overall culinary skill level that can cross this threshold, that is, the level of ingredients and the quality of the secret recipe. Such 1+1 must be greater than 2.
There was an endless stream of clanging and clanging in the kitchen. Zhou Mochen placed a lot of ingredients for training in front of him. Knowing the texture structure of each ingredient is also a compulsory course, which is very useful for improving knife skills. One hour of training, one hour of reading, this arrangement is very fulfilling.
