[Rebirth] Desire of the tongue

Shandong cuisine originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, formed in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and peaked in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The ancient "Confucian Cuisine" is a traditional official cuisine. The knife skills of Shandong cuisine are changeable, and the heat is very important. It can be said that if you want to really cook a table of Shandong cuisine, it is not only a test of the chef's skills, but also a test of the chef's skills. A test of its physical strength.

Jia Yuxing, as a well-known master of Lu cuisine in the country, naturally has the utmost demands on Ye Qianfan in these details. The most basic requirements are spoon handling, heat, and knife skills. Ye Qianfan understood it by himself.Jia Yuxing once locked Ye Qianfan in the kitchen for a full month because he couldn't cook a dish, and he was released from the kitchen until Ye Qianfan cooked a dish that satisfied him.

Some admirable and precious qualities can be seen in Jia Yuxing. He is a teacher for one day and a father for life. To Ye Qianfan, this master is more like his father than his biological father.

As Jia Yuxing was an experienced chef, there was no shortage of ingredients in the kitchen. Ye Qianfan opened the refrigerator to look, and quickly decided what to cook for his master.

Like him, Jia Yuxing also likes to eat fish and seafood, but his dietary requirements have become stricter as he gets older. He must not only pursue the taste like cooking for young people.

Tofu is sweet in taste, cool in nature, nourishes body fluid and moistens dryness, clears away heat and detoxifies.It is very suitable for making soup ingredients.Ye Qianfan took out a piece of tofu from the refrigerator, and put it into the steamer.

What he wants to cook is Sanmei Tofu, a very simple home-cooked dish in Lu cuisine, but the simpler the dish, the more details are tested. Taking advantage of the time of steaming the tofu, Ye Qianfan started to process other ingredients.

Jia Yuxing's kitchen has a lot of fresh ingredients, and even built a pond to raise edible fish. After looking at it for a while, Ye Qianfan picked out a carp from the pond.

He deftly removed the scales from the carp, scraped off the gills and internal organs, then washed it with clean water, and then cut a knife on the fish, and then spread the southern wine, salt and soy sauce evenly on the fish. .

After handling the fish, Ye Qianfan turned on the fire, heated the oil in the pot to half mature, and finally threw the fish into the pot, and fried the fish until the skin turned red before taking it out.

The heat of fried fish is very important. If it is too much, it will be old, and if it is too little, it will not be crispy.Ye Qianfan hasn't worked in a restaurant since he left City C, but fortunately he still likes the job of a cook, and he doesn't slack off on weekdays, so his grasp of the cooking time has not deteriorated. Compared with him who was at his peak before, he is no longer in the same breath.

Put the fried fish on the plate, Ye Qianfan put some oil and a few spoonfuls of sugar in the pot, wait until the sugar is hot, then add clear soup and southern wine, a small amount of shredded pork fat, ginger and garlic, wait until The clear soup in the pot boiled, Ye Qianfan skimmed off the foam in the soup, put the fried fish into the pot, and covered the pot.

The fish was almost done, and the tofu was already steamed. Ye Qianfan took the tofu out of the steamer, turned around and was about to bring some cabbage, but when he opened the refrigerator door and carefully selected the cabbage, he realized that there seemed to be a lot of cabbage. Bought a few days ago, it is no longer fresh.

One of the important ingredients of Sanmei Tofu is cabbage. Originally, if you want to make authentic Sanmei Tofu, then it is best to choose Taian for both tofu and cabbage. But Ye Qianfan came in a hurry, so naturally it is impossible to ask for so much, but now seeing these different things When it came to fresh cabbage, Ye Qianfan couldn't do anything.

Every profession has its own obsession with cleanliness. Just like a doctor can't stand an unclean environment, Ye Qianfan, as a chef, can't cook with stale ingredients.

After staring at the sloppy cabbage in the refrigerator for a while, Ye Qianfan suddenly thought of something.He lifted up the sleeve of his right hand, looked at the gorgeous tattoo on his wrist, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he just entered that magical space.

"Is there any cabbage...fresh cabbage?" Ye Qianfan asked despite some hesitation.

No one answered his question, but a few seconds after he asked the question, a cabbage that looked extremely fresh appeared in front of him.

Well, there is indeed cabbage.Ye Qianfan saw what he wanted, but smiled wryly... There was something, but he didn't have the currency needed for this space.After a while, Ye Qianfan took out a ring from his pocket and asked, "Can this thing be exchanged for currency? How much can it be exchanged for?"

A bright red "10" appeared in front of Ye Qianfan. He looked at the diamond ring on his hand, then at the green cabbage, but smiled: "Change it."

The ring disappeared instantly, and the number displayed on Ye Qianfan's wrist tattoo also changed to 10.

The ring that was exchanged for money was a gift from Wei Dongyan to Ye Qianfan. It was the first time Ye Qianfan received such a valuable gift, but now, the thing that he once regarded as a treasure, But it was used to exchange a few cabbages.

Ye Qianfan put on a sarcastic smile on his face, and took the cabbage in his hand, and the number on his wrist also turned into a dazzling "8". A diamond ring worth six figures can only In exchange for a few cabbages, Ye Qianfan didn't know what to say to this magical space.

But fortunately, the cabbage did look fresh, Ye Qianfan took the cabbage and exited the space.

Washing the cabbage with clean water, Ye Qianfan tore the cabbage into chunks with his hands, and then blanched the cabbage together with the tofu in hot water.Finally, put the blanched cabbage and tofu into the hot pot, then pour in the milk soup made from pork bones, add a little salt, and finally drizzle with a little chicken oil.

The finished tofu was served on the table, and the soup of the carp was almost finished. Ye Qianfan filled the fish and prepared to make another coral cabbage.

After all, it was cabbage bought in exchange for an expensive ring, Ye Qianfan was really a little worried if he didn't finish all of it.First blanch the cabbage in water, then marinate it with a little salt for a few minutes, squeeze out the water inside, then cut into long sections, and place them neatly on the dinner plate.Then heat the sesame oil in the pot, add shredded chili, shredded green onion, shredded ginger, shredded mushrooms and other ingredients, and finally add water, sugar, soy sauce, cooking wine and other ingredients. After the water boils for a while, pour the soup on the On the cabbage.

Because there were only two people eating, Jia Yuxing also told Ye Qianfan not to cook too much. Originally, Ye Qianfan wanted to cook another piece of meat, but Jia Yuxing stopped him.According to the old man's words, "It's shameful to waste food. Anyway, the ingredients are stored there. Why don't you eat fresh ones next time?"

Seeing this, Ye Qianfan didn't argue too much, and obediently put the three dishes on the table, scooping up a bowl of steamed rice for Jia Yuxing and himself.

The first dish Jia Yuxing tasted was carp made by Ye Qianfan. He frowned after taking a bite, and said, "The craftsmanship has regressed." Picking up the chopsticks, he took a bite of the fish, and found that the meat was a little bit old...but only a little bit, only Jia Yuxing, who has been a chef all his life, can taste the difference.

"You." A hint of disappointment flashed in Jia Yuxing's eyes. He originally expected Ye Qianfan to inherit his mantle, but now it seems that there is no hope at all.

"Master." Ye Qianfan also felt uncomfortable, and only then did he realize what he had lost in the past few years.

"Don't talk about it." Jia Yuxing sighed, and took another piece of coral cabbage made by Ye Qianfan, the deep disappointment in his eyes turned into surprise in an instant.

"Master?" Ye Qianfan didn't understand what was wrong with Jia Yuxing, but saw his master holding the cabbage on the plate with one chopstick after another. He didn't put down the chopsticks until the cabbage was almost bottomed out.

"Taste it." Jia Yuxing looked at Ye Qianfan with a sparkle.

"..." Hearing this, Ye Qianfan stretched out his chopsticks hesitantly, caught the coral cabbage on the plate, put the cabbage in his mouth, and instantly understood why Jia Yuxing was surprised.

The cabbage is so delicious, with a crisp taste and rich soup, not only the soup itself is not lost, but also the fragrance of the ingredients is incorporated, chewing it is full of fragrance, and it can even be called melt in the mouth.

Ye Qianfan's eyes lit up, he didn't expect the coral cabbage to be so successful, but Ye Qianfan immediately realized that the reason why the cabbage tastes this way... seems to be because of the ingredients.

"Not bad." Jia Yuxing patted Ye Qianfan on the shoulder and sighed, "I thought you gave back the basic skills to Master."

"..." Ye Qianfan didn't know what to say, so he just lowered his head and listened to Jia Yuxing's lesson.

"Work hard." Jia Yuxing said with deep meaning: "Master has prepared good things for you..."
