Reborn – Super Chef

"But... have I said that we will cook these dishes at the Spring Banquet?" Ye Chui said with a smile.

What he said made everyone at the table involuntarily stunned at the same time. If you want to cook pork dishes for the Spring Festival, you must choose the best pork dishes. To make these dishes, I can hear Ye Chui say so, does he have other types of pork dishes?

The pork dish in the Manchu Banquet, is it the most delicious pork dish?

"Boss, do you have other dishes?" Qin Yiyue was picking up a piece of fried ribs with his chopsticks, when he heard Ye Chui's words, he couldn't help but put down the ribs in the chopsticks, and looked at Ye Chui.

"Chinese food culture is extensive and profound. Although the Man-Han Banquet is the highest level of Chinese food, it does not fully include all the delicious dishes. Some folk delicacies have not been included in the Man-Han Banquet either because they appeared for a short time or for other reasons. "Ye Chui explained with a smile, "Besides, it's been half a month since our Manhan Building opened, and the menu is definitely not a secret. Some interested people will definitely guess that we participated in the spring banquet to make pork dishes on the menu. They have worked hard on this, No matter how delicious we do, we may lose a lot of votes because of it.”

What Ye Chui said was referring to Shenghua Garden.

Knowing what kind of dishes Ye Chui serves here, Shenghuayuan will definitely take some targeted measures. That Jim was born in Chinatown, so he might have mastered many similar recipes of these pork dishes in Manhanlou—for this Ye Chui has never paid attention to the eight-star Chinese chef, but he will never underestimate him.

The dining table is like a battlefield.

Especially for this kind of banquet involving cooking competition, we should take extra precautions in this regard, which is what Ye Chui often told Tian Xiaodu and others.

Dong Youyou was gnawing on an elbow in an unsightly way, but she had stopped at this moment, but she was embarrassed to put down the half-gnawed elbow, so she just held it in her hand, and she asked: "So Ye Chui, do you want to eat?" There are so many, what are you going to cook at the spring banquet?"

"I've been thinking about this all afternoon." A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Chui's mouth, "At the spring banquet, we will have...a whole pig feast."

"A whole pig feast?" Everyone at the table was attracted by the name, and Dong Youyou couldn't wait to ask, "What is a whole pig feast?"

"As the name suggests, it is a dish made of a whole pig, such as pig head, pork knuckle, pig trotter, pork belly, pork loin, etc., and every part of a whole pig is made into a dish and served on the table. It's a veritable pork banquet." Ye Chui said with a smile.

He wanted to do this because he thought of the village banquet in his previous life.

The village banquet is a banquet where the whole village eats together. When Ye Chui was seeking cooking skills, he met a village banquet chef. His village banquet is well-known. It is also the essence of Chinese food culture to make a dish that is more flavorful than delicious. Even in some areas, the custom of slaughtering a whole pig for cooking banquets is still maintained during festivals, which means reunion.

The most important thing is that such a cooking method must be unexpected, even if someone steals it, it cannot be copied - even if it is copied, they will definitely not be able to make the flavor.

Ye Chui's words shocked everyone at the table, and Tian Xiaodu asked: "Master, are you taking too much risk? Many parts of pork... are not suitable for cooking, right? For example, pork belly, can this be eaten? How do you make it delicious?"

"Of course pork belly can be eaten, and it is delicious. It is also one of the most delicious places in pork, but it is not taken seriously because of the lack of cooking methods. It has been recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that it's "warm stomach" , In addition to cold and damp nausea, bloating and cold accumulation, there are many dishes related to poison." Ye Chui explained with a smile.

Although the world's meat food is undergoing a comprehensive recovery, many delicacies are not served on the table because of the lack of recipes. Pork tripe, sheep tripe, tripe, etc. are a big pity. These ingredients are often identified as If it cannot be used but is ignored, it is regarded as not being able to make it to the table.

Of course, there are also dishes made with these ingredients in the Man-Han Banquet, but Ye Chui took this into consideration when formulating the Man-Han Restaurant menu, so he did not choose them.

In fact, even if Ye Chui wants to cook this kind of dishes, there is no supply of ingredients - the pork belly at the slaughterhouse is directly thrown away. If Ye Chui directly contacts the slaughterhouse to buy pork belly, maybe What troubles will be caused to affect the business of Man Han Lou.

Ye Chui glanced at the people at the table one by one, thought of something interesting, smiled and continued: "There are recipes for ingredients such as pork belly in the Manchu Banquet, but I didn't write it in the menu, such as the original version. There is a dish of Songhua Xiaoduer in the Manchu Banquet, and I will put this dish on the Spring Banquet."

"Is this dish made with pork belly?" Lin Wei, who was sitting next to Ye Chui, asked quickly.

"It's not made of pork belly, but..." Ye Chui said with a smirk on his face, "Pig's bladder."

"..."

After a few seconds of silence at the dining table, Han Yuyan said to Ye Chui with a serious face: "Master, let's consider using the pork dishes on the current menu of Manhanlou to participate in the spring banquet..."

Ye Chui rolled his eyes: "Pork is a treasure, but now many delicious parts are not recognized by people because of their poor appearance. What a pity it is?"

This is also what Ye Chui felt.

Pork tripe, sheep tripe, and tripe have been looked down upon by people since humans started talking about cattle, sheep and pigs. I don’t know how many years it took to be officially served on the table. Now that the meat ingredients are faulty, since Ye Chui If you want to revive the Chinese diet, you naturally have the responsibility to let people re-recognize these delicious ingredients.

"Master, I know what you mean, but... I'm afraid that the gourmets attending the spring banquet will not be able to accept it." Tian Xiaodu continued to persuade, these dishes feel similar to dark dishes, and no one will eat them if they are made. , He was also afraid that he would be arrested directly on the charge of dark cooking.

Today is the era of food, and the selection of ingredients for cooking is a very serious matter.

Seeing the appearance of the people at the table, Ye Chui sighed, thought for a while and continued: "Well, let me tell you a story about cooking pork belly, you may change your mind after listening... "

Then Ye Chui told a story about pork belly.

Pork belly is a kind of food that is not valued by people. Since ancient times, only some poor families will eat these things. Pork belly was officially used as a delicious dish ingredient during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

It is said that Concubine Yi, whom Qianlong favored, was weak. Based on the principle of "medicine is not as good as food", the imperial physician wrapped pork belly with chicken and boiled it together to make a dish. This dish was surprisingly delicious, and Qianlong even praised it. This dish is "Phoenix Reincarnation", and another popular name for this dish is Pork Belly Chicken.

Pork Belly Chicken is not a Man-Han banquet dish, but it is still spread and has become a famous dish.

This dish also kicked off the big trend of pork belly.

"Pork belly chicken? The name is interesting, and it is a dish hand-picked by Qianlong. There is indeed some origin of this dish." After hearing Ye Chui's story, Tian Xiaodu nodded, "Then master, if you want to make pork belly Are you going to make this pork belly chicken?"

"Of course not. I'm going to make a whole pig feast, so of course I have to use pork. The dishes I prepare are different." Ye Chui shook his head, "I tell this story just to tell you that pork belly is not what you imagined. It’s unbearable, it’s also very delicious if it’s cooked properly, and I don’t think everyone in China would have thought that we would cook something like pork belly, it’s a surprise, and it will impress the gourmets participating in the banquet, right?”

Ye Chui's words are indeed very reasonable, but everyone still can't accept it...

"I always feel that after making this kind of food, many people lose their appetite just to hear the name." Han Yuyan sighed with emotion, "Anyway, I don't want to eat these."

Ye Chui glared at his two apprentices, thought of something and said with a smile: "Dayu, do you still remember that when you were cooking at Xiaoyu's house not long ago, you were weak and uncomfortable, and then I made it for you? Red bean curd soup, do you still think it is delicious?"

"Red tofu soup?" Han Yuyan's eyes suddenly lit up. The red tofu soup that Ye Chui said was made by Ye Chui for her when she was weak after her menstrual holiday. Can replenish vitality.

But when she asked Ye Chui what the red bean curd soup was, Ye Chui kept mysteriously refusing to tell her...

At this time, she couldn't help but continued to ask: "Master, what is this red bean curd, you should tell me now, right?"

"Okay, I'll tell you now..." Ye Chui had another smirk on his face, "The full name of red tofu is pig's blood tofu, and it's actually a kind of tofu made from coagulated pig's blood. It's pig blood soup."

Han Yuyan: "..."

The elder sister was quite expectant at first, thinking that the origin of the red tofu was so extraordinary, but now that she heard Ye Chui say that it was pig blood, she couldn't help it immediately, she suddenly covered her mouth, and hurriedly walked from the dining table run away...

Everyone at the dining table looked at Ye Chui, their eyes were speechless: Is there such a thing as molesting your apprentice...

Ye Chui shrugged: "Pork blood tofu is indeed a good thing. It has a long history and can no longer be traced. It was famous all over the country during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. I plan to make a pig blood tofu soup for the spring banquet."

Everyone at the table was completely speechless at the moment.

It feels like... the Spring Banquet will be ruined by Ye Chui if it goes on like this. (~^~)
