Chapter 278 Roast duck is delicious. Try Chongqing duck!
The copper lock opened, and everyone subconsciously opened the lid of the wooden box.
When the top cover is opened, the three-layer drawer at the lower front of the wooden box will automatically extend out, and the first thing you see is a small round plate placed on the top layer of the wooden box.
A row of golden roasted duck meat is placed on the plate in order. When you get close, you can smell the hot breath. The aroma of the roast duck itself is mixed with the natural aroma of the fruit charcoal, forming an indescribable taste, tempting the taste buds of everyone present that have just been awakened by the cloud meat.
On the lower layer, the sliced duck skin is placed on a white jade plate. The duck skin roasted till golden brown lies there thinly. Just by looking at it, you can imagine how crispy it will be when you put it in your mouth!
In the next drawer down, there is a long spice dish.
There were four sets of roast duck: sweet sauce, white sugar, shredded green onions, and cucumber strips. To the right of the condiment plate, there were a few thin pancakes on a small tray.
A guest picked up a pancake out of curiosity and took a look. No one knew how the pancake was made. You could vaguely see the other side through one side. It was so thin that it was outrageous!
Not to mention how the roast duck tastes, this wooden box alone gives people a sense of ritual.
“This is very Chinese!”
"Yes, this style of eating is only found in China. If I'm not mistaken, boxes like this should have been used to store precious jewelry in ancient China, right?"
"Only wealthy families can afford such a box. Let's try the duck first."
Originally, we invited gourmet experts from all over the world, and everyone here is familiar with dishes like Beijing Roast Duck.
Some guests chose to eat the small cakes made with roast duck on the top first, some guests chose to eat the roast duck skin with white sugar, and some guests went straight to the point.
Spread out the pancake, dip the tender and delicate roast duck slices in sweet sauce, wrap them with a few scallion shreds and cucumber strips, simply roll them up and put them in your mouth.
Even though there isn't much in it, it fills your mouth up completely.
Although everyone chose different ways and parts to eat, without exception, almost everyone had a very satisfied expression on their face!
The leader from China took a bite of the roast duck wrapped in a pancake.
It has the toughness of pancakes, the crispness of duck skin, and the tenderness and plumpness of duck meat. Before your taste buds can react, the fresh fragrance of cucumber immediately hits you along with the delicious sweetness of shredded green onions.
'This roast duck is truly a delicacy! '
Moreover, as this dish is a Beijing dish, what made the leader most satisfied was the way it was served.
Apart from anything else, this wooden box is very classy and gives you a sense of honor!
Is it only your Western food that can be so fancy?
I'm sorry, but if our Chinese food really wants to be fancy, I'm afraid you Western food won't be able to catch up even if you ride a bicycle!
Just as one of the viewers said in the explosive comments in the barrage at this moment.
"What the hell! I feel like this box is much more valuable than that roast duck!"
"A proper roast duck costs 200 yuan, and a box costs 300 yuan. I'll sell you a box of roast duck for 500 yuan. Just tell me if you want to eat it or not, okay?"
"Don't even mention five hundred, even if it's one thousand! I think it's worth it just for the sense of ceremony. It will be so photogenic! I'll just take a bunch of photos. I don't care if it tastes good or not, as long as it looks good!"
"I guess this duck is really delicious. Look at that short woman, why is she eating so voraciously?"
Many viewers looked at the guests present attentively.
as predicted!
I don't know since when, the guests sitting at their seats no longer maintain their gentle and elegant dining posture, and everyone seems to have forgotten that they are in a very formal banquet occasion.
Almost all the people had already started rolling up the roast duck before they had even swallowed the food in their mouths!
However, although the box was big, Su Chen didn’t put much things in it.
There were only two pieces of roast duck dim sum, three or four slices of duck skin, five or six slices of duck meat, and only three pancakes.
Some of the fast-talkers had already finished eating and turned to look at the waiters beside them with a wronged look.
The scene began to become chaotic again.
"What's going on? What's going on? Why are you all stuck here?"
In the elevator, the waiters who came out to serve the dishes suddenly became a mess. There were so many people crowded in there, and those who came later were trying hard to squeeze in. Many people had no idea what was going on.
"Stop pushing, stop pushing! The people downstairs said that this is all the roast duck we've prepared, no more!"
"Hey, are these people crazy? We agreed in advance that there would be 28 dishes to taste today, why do they have to eat just one or two dishes?"
"It's delicious, what else could it be? I just stood next to it and smelled it and I thought it must be delicious, that smell!"
"Hey, stop talking, stop pushing! Go back and explain to the guests what happened!"
As expected of a service team from the State Guesthouse, although there was some chaos, it only lasted for a moment. When they returned to the lobby, everything was in order again in an instant.
Each waiter was bending down slightly and whispering explanations to the guests around them.
"Hmm? Aren't the dishes prepared today enough?" The Chinese leader glanced sideways, "That shouldn't be the case."
It’s ok that I didn’t enjoy the first dish of cloud meat, but can’t I enjoy the roast duck to my heart’s content?
We had to explain to the guests that there were no extra dishes for two consecutive dishes, as if we Chinese were so stingy that we were reluctant to give them food.
The waitress next to me looked terrified, "No. The person in charge said that there are 28 dishes today, and most of them are meat dishes, so we hope that the guests present can eat less and taste more, and it would be best if they can taste every dish."
The leader then nodded slightly, his eyes full of regret as he looked at the wooden box.
"I'll have to tell the Cooking Association to give me this wooden box."
He thought silently in his heart.
Since the waiter said there was no extra roast duck, I had to give up on this dish even though I wasn’t satisfied with it either.
Unlike the guests who had regretful and uncomfortable expressions, the director this time was sitting behind the monitor in the corner, sweating profusely.
"Fuck, isn't Boss Su really too bold? How can he do this?"
Ling Shuyu opened his mouth and wanted to explain a few words on behalf of his boss, but looking at the live broadcast on the monitor, he was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Indeed, what Boss Su did was a little unhuman!
The key point is that this scene was not only seen by them, but also by millions of viewers in the live broadcast room!
"I'm convinced! Seeing this boss finally makes me believe what our ancestors said: a three-year drought won't kill a chef! Don't even mention being hungry. He must be too full, right?"
“If the distinguished guests knew that the reason they were not allowed to continue eating was because the chef was eating, these foreigners would probably collapse right on the spot, right?”
"It's outrageous. It turns out that working in the kitchen is so cool? If I had known this, I would have gone to New Oriental to study in college!"
“Is New Oriental a university?”
It’s no wonder the audience is depressed. At this moment, the kitchen, which everyone imagined should be busy, is not busy at all.
Just looking at Su Chen in the picture, wearing a well-fitting suit, if an uninformed audience just entered the live broadcast room, they would think that he was the person sent by the higher-ups to supervise the kitchen!
Su Chen piled the sliced roast duck on the plate and said, "Come on, come on, try it!"
Liu Guochu stuffed a piece of roast duck into his mouth and said, "Great, Boss Su! I was wondering yesterday, you are proficient in all kinds of skills, can you make roast duck like this?"
"Wow! Crispy and tender, fatty but not greasy, sweet and delicious! Boss Su, in my opinion, it's time for us to build a floor and do nothing but sell roast duck! We will catch up with Bianyifang in one year, surpass Quanjude in two years, and become the number one in the country in three years!" Wang Zhijun was now completely convinced by Su Chen.
When talking about Peking duck, the first thing people think of is definitely Beijing.
But there is a problem in Beijing now. After tourists from other places go there, some of them worry that they have spent their money but the duck will not taste good.
But even Wang Zhijun thought the duck roasted by Boss Su was delicious.
What about the chef from Quanjude Bianyifang, what about the century-old brand and thousand-year-old recipe, compared with Boss Su’s roast duck, what are they!
No food for free!
It must be said that it is no wonder that the audience was shocked when they saw the live broadcast from the kitchen. There were not many roast ducks to begin with. After slicing the key parts for the guests, Su Chen directly shared the remaining duck meat with the chefs and kitchen helpers in the kitchen.
Some outsiders who have not worked in the relevant industry originally thought that the kitchen must be extremely busy at this moment. However, the scene changed and they found that not only were they not busy, they were actually laughing and eating the roast duck that the VIPs above wanted to eat but couldn't!
Who can I ask to reason with this?
Those young kitchen helpers who were helping Su Chen for the first time did not dare to be too presumptuous, after all, their master was here.
Everyone gathered in a corner and enjoyed the roast duck.
Liu Abao was among the crowd.
"How did Boss Su learn this skill? He has such a good skill at such a young age, so the skill of the person who taught him must be extremely good, right?"
Hearing this, Po sneered.
"What do you know?"
After all, he is an old employee. A Bao spoke, and the others looked at him while eating roast duck, their eyes full of desire, eager to hear some gossip about Boss Su!
"This is just roast duck. This is the first time our boss makes it."
Having said this, Abao paused deliberately.
If you want to show off, of course you have to leave time for others to be shocked.
As expected, as soon as A Bao finished speaking, the little disciples' eyes were filled with shock and disbelief!
"What! Brother Abao, hasn't Boss Su made this roast duck before?"
"Impossible! If they can do this well even on their first try, then wouldn't those time-honored brands in Beijing be just in vain?"
"If this is really his first time making it, our boss's cooking skills are incredible. He was born to enjoy food!"
Seeing everyone so shocked, Liu Abao felt an inexplicable sense of vanity in his heart, "Why would I lie to you? Not only is this the first time to make roast duck, but today's cloud meat is also the first time. I've been here for so long, don't I know?"
"Let me tell you this. Our boss never makes the same dishes twice! You are lucky enough to taste dishes from all the major Chinese cuisines today. Don't just focus on eating well, but learn from our boss's cooking skills."
Several young disciples nodded seriously.
"Brother Abao is right. In the past, when we were helping the chef, we were just busy and had no chance to taste the food! Only when we help the boss can we have this opportunity."
"Our boss is such a nice guy! I must work hard in the future. I will definitely learn something by following him!"
"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking! Boss Su seems to be getting busy again, let's go over there and learn some skills!"
A group of people wolfed down the roast duck in front of them and trotted to Su Chen, afraid of missing a step.
Now, in the eyes of these little disciples, Su Chen’s cooking process is a precious treasure that cannot be exchanged for ten thousand taels of gold!
The roast duck is finished.
Su Chen knew without thinking too much that the people above must be wishing for another dish of duck to satisfy their appetite, but there was nothing they could do because their big moves were still behind them.
What is roast duck?
If eating roast duck can make people hungry, then this duck must make people swallow its tongue, right?
A few minutes ago, Su Chen threw the almost finished duck into the oil pan for frying. Now five minutes have passed and it has reached the standard Su Chen required in the practice room.
All five ducks were taken out of the frying pan.
If it were a finished dish, it would need to be cut and presented on a plate, but now it was a set meal, and considering that the guests could not be filled up with just one dish, Su Chen only planned three pieces of meat for each person.
Bang bang bang!
With a flick of the knife, Su Chen quickly cut the fried duck into squares about two centimeters long and wide. On each plate, he first placed a piece of duck breast, then a piece of duck leg, and finally a piece of duck back meat.
The mixture of sesame oil and sweet sauce is served on a round plate, and small pieces of chopped green onion are placed next to the duck meat. Each piece of duck meat is placed with the skin facing up.
Finally, use chopsticks to dip into sesame oil and put a drop of sesame oil on the surface of the duck skin.
"Bring out the food!"
As each dish came out, Su Chen stood there and added a drop of sesame oil. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until all the ninety or so small plates had left the kitchen.
"Okay, let's share the rest."
There was a burst of excited noise in the kitchen, but the apprentices who had just come to learn skills secretly were a little puzzled.
Among them, the apprentice under Wang Zhijun was considered to be the bravest.
"Boss Su, while we have time now, can you tell us why this dish is Chongqing cuisine? What is the difference between Chongqing cuisine and our Sichuan cuisine? Aren't they the same?"
Su Chen took a glance.
I have some impression of this young man. He now works in Wang Zhijun's Sichuan restaurant. Su Chen has seen this young man several times when he went to the famous cuisine department to eat. He is a smart guy.
“Chongqing cuisine”
When Su Chen spoke, everyone stopped what they were doing, no matter how delicious the duck was.
after all
Everyone witnessed the making of this duck.
The cooking skills of pickling, smoking, steaming and frying demonstrated by Su Chen almost completely exceeded their understanding of cooking!
If you can listen to Boss Su talk about this dish now, it would be a rare treasure!
Su Chen sorted out his thoughts a little.
Is there any difference between Chongqing cuisine and Sichuan cuisine?
This is really an interesting question.
Moreover, the camphor tea fat duck that is served now actually belongs to the Chongqing cuisine, and has nothing much to do with Sichuan cuisine.
Even though this dish was once included in the Sichuan cuisine chapter of "Fragments of Famous Chinese Recipes".
Silently opening the world's food history in his mind, Su Chen smiled and popularized the contents of the "textbook" to everyone.
