Back to 1996

Pour cold water into the pot, Gu Yi put the stick bones, chicken feet, pure lean meat and chopped chicken into the water, and after boiling, use a spoon to skim off impurities to ensure that the chicken soup is clean.The main essence of this dish lies in its high soup. After the original soup is filtered again, it is boiled at high temperature.

It takes more than an hour to boil the chicken soup. As soon as Gu has controlled the heat, he turns around to prepare the stewed beef. This birthday banquet is a little more complicated and only these two dishes.

The seasonings that Master Yang bought according to the requirements were all packed in bags. Gu didn't see that the amount of twisted out by hand was so accurate, and the amount of each category on the plate seemed to be almost the same.

Aniseed, Angelica dahurica, cloves... Several kinds of seasonings are put into the pot and dry-fried, but the aroma overflows immediately after 2 minutes. As soon as the seasonings here are out of the pot, the aroma of the chicken soup on the other side is already strong.

He obviously ate a lot in the morning, but Zheng Hu's stomach is still rumbling at this moment. This kind of feeling is not hunger but pure greed. He doesn't understand anything else, he just feels that the chicken soup in front of him is better than before It's even more fragrant.He turned his head and looked at Yuan Yuan beside him, wanting to prove that he was not the only one who failed to live up to expectations, but his ally was looking at the skillful Gu Yi in front of him with bright eyes.

If you want to ask if they have smelled the aroma of chicken soup, of course, it is thick but not greasy, full of fresh fragrance, and the whole kitchen will be filled with this fragrance in a short while!

The rock sugar on Gu Yi’s side has already been put into the pot. This process is called frying the sugar color. The spoon in his hand is quickly circled in the oil pot to melt it. Master Yang looked at the high fire on the stove and thought for a while, holding back the doubts in his heart .

The rock sugar started to become thinner from the initial viscosity, and the color also changed from white to yellow, and then it turned into soy sauce color. The soy sauce color instantly smoked in the pot, and the smoke was still blue. Put the ginger in the pot instantly, stir-fry on high heat, then put in appropriate warm water, and it will come out of the pot after a while.

Gu Yi's movements were done in one go, and when everyone reacted, the rich sauce was already out of the pot.In order to prove his idea, Master Yang took a pair of clean chopsticks, dipped them a little and tried the taste. The taste buds were filled with a sweet and fresh taste, and there was no bitter taste!

Don't look at the fact that frying sugar color is just a simple operation, but the heat is very particular. They usually use low heat and slow frying, because it takes one or two seconds for the sugar color to form, and it will be bitter if it is any later!

Gu Yi put the marinated beef into the pressure cooker, and put the seasonings into the pot one by one.Then turn around to look at the chicken soup. The moment the lid is opened, the golden soup appears in front of the eyes. The cooked chicken is extracted and boiled over high heat until the protein and collagen in the meat are completely washed out by the fire. , put the best essence into the soup.

At this time, the chicken soup has gradually changed from the original golden yellow to milky white.

Pleurotus eryngii, abalone, sea cucumber, scallops and other ingredients have already been prepared. Gu Yi puts the ingredients into the chicken soup in turn, and then puts in an appropriate amount of seasoning, and simmers again!

The three hours in the kitchen shocked the three of them. Gu Yi did what he said. He contracted twelve dishes by himself. Fine beads of sweat appeared!

……

Gu Yi shook his arms, turned around and looked at the people, Zheng Hu was exhausted, only his eyes were fixed on the dishes on the table, it was really tormenting to see if he couldn't eat them, this big elbow, this sauced beef... ...I'm really hungry for him...

Master Yang, on the other hand, does not have enough eyesight to look at this dish and that dish, and also stares at Gu Yi from time to time, in case he misses any delicate operation, he is really too busy...

The only thing that surprised Gu Yi was Yuan Yuan, who was standing aside and took notes with a pen and paper at some point. He turned his eyes and had a guess in his heart. As for the specific facts, he still needs to verify.

"Master Yang, you see that my side is almost ready, master's side..." Before Gu Yi finished his words, he looked at Master Yang with a smile in his eyes, and tilted his head a bit cunning.

Master Yang smiled helplessly. When he thought of leaving the kitchen, his face was full of reluctance. How could Gu Yi not see it, and then said: "Don't worry, I have written down the methods, steps, and seasonings of these dishes. Give it to Master."

After saying this, Master Yang understood. To be honest, every step of the cooks today is in order, but he was dazzled by the sidelines. With the recipe, he should be able to digest it.

That stretched out his hand and slapped Zheng Hu, saying: "You are with me, your eyes are bright like a wolf cub, I don't feel at ease if you stay here."

Zheng Hu was so pointed that he had to stand up reluctantly, he didn't want to leave the kitchen at all now!

It was meal time, and the passers-by and neighbors in the alley were already attracted by the smell of the restaurant in the alley. They stopped and double-checked that there was indeed a sign to suspend business, but the alluring aroma was indeed caused by exudes from inside.

Master Yang was in a hurry to invite Mr. Shen, and hurried back to observe Gu Yi's operation. He opened the door in a hurry, and saw the people standing outside the door being staggered by the tiger. Fortunately, Zheng Hu behind him helped him in time With one hand, I was able to stabilize my body!

"Hey... came out... came out." Someone in the crowd said.

"I said there must be someone inside, my nose is bright."

"Haha... You are so boastful, you are the only one who smells such a big fragrance! We are not all attracted here." The crowd laughed.

……

"Master Yang, what good things are you researching today? The taste is so good that we can't even eat the food at home!"

Master Yang looked over, and it was one of their old customers who was asking about it. This person is indeed a big appetite.

He switched his mind and said: "This is indeed researching new dishes, but it's not me, Mr. Shen's apprentice, who said that he wanted to prepare a birthday banquet for Master, and has been tossing all morning."

"what?"

"You mean that little kid?"

"That fool? He can cook, I remember he is not much taller than the pot!"

"Master Yang is probably trying to make us happy!"

The crowd exploded in an instant, no one took this sentence seriously, voices of questioning were repeated, and Master Yang had no intention of refuting, he was in a hurry now!

He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I'm in a hurry right now. I'm afraid I can't confirm it with everyone. The restaurant will resume business in three days. By then, you will naturally taste our new dishes."

"Besides, I'm so old, it's really not easy to take advantage of a child!" After speaking to everyone, he squeezed out of the crowd and went to the courtyard of Shen's family.
