"Hey, Master Lin is here so early!"
When Yin Hongbin turned to Building 2, he saw Lin Xu's car and waved his boning knife at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu felt that he was careless. When he saw Lao Yin just now, he should have turned to Building 1 first.
In this way, maybe we can see the plot that Diaoyutai loves to see.
He drove slowly to the gate of Building 2, lowered the window, and asked Yin Hongbin who was standing on the roadside:
"What are you doing, Chef Yin? My senior brother has provoked you again?"
Only then did Yin Hongbin realize that he was holding a boning knife in his hand. He smiled and said:
"No, no, Lao Xie wants to make beef bone soup. I came over to help him. I also happened to learn how to make noodles with clear soup and see if I can make it."
It may be a bit complicated for others to make clear soup noodles.
But Yin Hongbin is different. At least he has no problem with ramen. As for the remaining clear soup, he just needs to practice more.
As long as you want to do it, it's absolutely fine.
Turning the car into Building 2, Lin Xu parked in the parking lot and saw that there were already several head chefs in the restaurant in Building 2. It seemed that Yin Hongbin was not here for revenge just now.
I wrongly blamed him.
Entering the restaurant in Building 2, Gu Junli brought Lin Xu a cup of tea, and then whispered:
"After Master Cheng was transferred, Master Zhao became the head chef of the back kitchen."
Master Zhao's name is Zhao Xuesheng. He is about thirty-eight or nineteen years old. He is two or three years younger than his senior brother and Cheng Jianshe. However, although he is young, he has also worked in Diaoyutai for more than 20 years and has rich cooking and management experience.
I have to say that although Building No. 2 is not the place with the highest turnover in Diaoyutai, it is full of talents.
The former front desk manager Shu Yun was the benchmark for front desk managers in Diaoyutai. His friendly smile was even praised by foreign heads of state.
Xie Baomin's former deputy, Cheng Jianshe, has now taken over the management of Yanjing Hotel's kitchen.
If you leave it to other restaurants, losing talents like this will definitely seriously damage the vitality of the kitchen staff.
But Master Zhao immediately appeared in Building No. 2, and the management of the entire kitchen was still in order.
Why does senior brother dare to wander around? Isn’t it because he is well managed?
Drinking hot tea, Qiu Zhentao and the others came over and said with a smile:
"Boss Lin gave Chef Qi a good idea yesterday. If he hadn't announced his own business, Mr. He probably wouldn't have scraped bones to treat poison... Hearing that the news reached the hospital, Meng Dexing cursed
His fellow apprentices were so ruthless and ruthless that the hospital almost rescued him."
The grievances between their senior brothers are probably something that no outsider can sort out.
But it’s okay to gossip.
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Chef Qi's master was expelled from the chef's sect. What do you think of his status in the chef's sect?"
Guo Weidong knew a lot about this matter. He put a piece of mille-feuille pastry made in Building 2 into his mouth and said with a smile:
"You have become the eldest disciple of Senior Brother He Jiashun. In the future, their sect will be handed over to Qi Zhentao. He Jiashun's son also wanted to accept Qi Siming as his disciple and completely bind the Qi family, but Qi Siming refused. Now that child wants to find you.
Senior brother wants to become a disciple, but it’s a pity that your senior brother has no intention of accepting a disciple.”
In the senior brother's understanding, children, family, apprentices, etc. are all stumbling blocks for him to gallop in the world.
There is no way to give up children and family members, but you can completely refuse to accept them as disciples.
This saves him from having his enemies come to him again and again, and it also prevents him from wandering around.
Lin Xu felt that the senior brother was really not suitable to accept a disciple, especially Qi Siming, because Qi Siming was best at pastries, and this was exactly where the senior brother was relatively weak.
In addition, Qi Siming has a rebellious temperament, and if he is trained by his senior brother, he may grow into what kind of crooked-necked tree.
Relatively speaking, it is better to learn from Qiu Zhenhua as a teacher.
In terms of Diaoyutai white gum, Qiu Zhenhua is relatively strong, and with his elegant personality, he can correct the rebellious part of Qi Siming's character.
However, whether it will work or not depends on the opinions of both parties.
Apprenticeship is the same as getting married. You can't pull strings randomly, nor can you match someone without any basis.
Just as he was talking, Xie Baomin and the new chef Zhao Xuesheng came over from the back kitchen. When they saw so many people standing, they said:
"You are here so early. I seriously suspect that you want to enjoy our snacks and tea."
Guo Weidong said angrily:
"Come on, how much tea have you stolen from us over the years? When you come to drink tea, you are also drinking our own tea... Are you ready? We are here to see you today. We can't just eat snacks and drink tea outside.
."
Song Dahai also echoed:
"It's just that it's been a few months, and it's only now that I think of cashing it in. It's somewhat inappropriate, Lao Xie."
As the victim of Lin Xu's poaching incident last time, Qiu Zhenhua said slowly:
"Lao Xie, you're not still thinking about refusing now, are you?"
When Xie Baomin saw everyone chatting away, a rogue expression appeared on his face:
"I just refused, what are you going to do to me? Who dares to beep again? I will go to your place this afternoon to take photos of the shop, and then I will be able to find faults."
Yuan Debiao put his hands on his hips and said:
"This is not the attitude your son had when he came to Diaoyutai last weekend. I should record your face and show it to your son next time I see you."
Upon hearing this, Xie Baomin immediately changed into a smiling face:
"I'm just joking with you, let's see how you act like this...walk around, go into the kitchen, our Building No. 2 is not on guard against you today, you can see whatever you want, even if you are in your respective buildings.
Hurry up."
Everyone was speechless for a while.
Who doesn’t know that the dishes in Building 2 have confidentiality agreements, and many of them are off-the-shelf dishes used by Diaoyutai to entertain foreign guests. Even if they learn how to cook them, anyone in each building who wants to introduce new dishes will definitely be punished.
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really useful. Download it here.yeguoyuedu. You can try it soon.]
Dogs are really setting up mines everywhere, and you will be deceived if you are not careful.
Yesterday at Yanjing Hotel, everyone acted like a family of brothers and sisters.
Today in Building 2, it has returned to its usual state.
Xie Baomin said to Lin Xu:
"Come on, junior brother, it's time to make the clear soup. I'll teach you how to make it."
Everyone followed them to the kitchen and saw the large soup pot in the center of the kitchen in the soup department, which was half filled with milky white soup stock.
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Is the soup stock ready?"
Xie Baomin smiled:
"It hasn't been boiled yet. Master makes the broth. It uses broth to boil beef bones, steaks, beef tendons, pork bones, pork chops, elbows, whole chickens, whole ducks, hams, scallops, golden hooks, mushrooms, and celery.
, onions, carrots and other ingredients."
Lin Xu frowned upon hearing this.
When using stock to make stock, isn’t the biggest difficulty in this meal changing from technology to cost?
Master, is this just for the sake of showing off your skills?
Just when he was about to ask, Guo Weidong said with emotion:
"I have tried it many times in private. The soup cooked in this way is either sour or has a strange smell. It is not at all the fresh and fragrant taste I mentioned before... Lao Xie, can you tell me the ratio?"<
/p>
Sure enough, someone is practicing secretly in private.
And there’s more than one person.
Because Lin Xu also pricked up his ears when he saw Qiu Zhenhua, as if he wanted to listen to his advice.
Obviously, he has also thought about this soup stock.
Xie Baomin said:
"As I said before, this is a soup made by my master by combining Chinese stock and Western stock. You can't just put vegetables and beef in it. You have to use Western cooking thinking."
Western culinary thinking?
Everyone present was a little confused and didn't know what this meant.
Xie Baomin didn't say much, and directly put various blanched stock ingredients into the pot. In addition to these large items, there were also dried items such as scallops, dried abalone, and magnolia slices for freshness.
Looking at these ingredients, Lin Xu felt that the cost this time was simply overwhelming.
Not to mention the cost of ramen, the cost of the soup alone has reached five figures, plus the labor cost of making noodles...
This bowl of noodles should be able to beat all the noodles on the market in terms of cost.
If the reputation of the state banquet chef is added, the Michelin three-star restaurant can also be highlighted as cost-effective.
Although he had just eaten fried dough sticks in spicy spicy soup, Lin Xu was really hungry for noodles now.
I really want to know how it feels to eat such a precious bowl of noodles.
Yin Hongbin asked curiously:
"When should I start the interview? It won't delay things, right?"
Xie Baomin put all the ingredients in, turned on the high heat, and waited for the soup in the pot to boil. He skimmed off the foam first and then said:
"Just wait, it will take a while, let's wait for three hours before talking about this thing."
Guo Weidong asked curiously:
"Where are the vegetables? When will they be put in?"
"Wait a minute, stew the aroma of these ingredients first. In addition, the vegetables should not be stewed for too long. One hour is enough. Over time, the freshness of the vegetables will become sour and deteriorate. The sourness and peculiar smell you mentioned,
It must have been cooked for too long."
Everyone gathered around the stove and looked at it. The act of simmering soup with stock seemed a bit prodigal.
So everyone wants to take a closer look and see how good this soup can be.
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Brother, don't you put some spices?"
"No, just use the aroma of these ingredients, and the saltiness all comes from the ham... Our master's clear soup noodles are relatively simple and don't need seasoning."
Simple?
Everyone couldn't help but be startled, and were speechless by this word.
The cost of a bowl of noodles is so high, how can you say it’s simple?
Song Dahai said:
"Don't mislead us here. It is true that the noodles do not need seasoning, but the salty ingredients such as ham, dried abalone, golden hooks, scallops, etc. must be carefully calculated in this soup. It is said that there is no seasoning. This is not as good as ordinary meals.
Seasoning is much more difficult, because you have to take into account the loss of the soup and the salt content of the ingredients... I always feel like you are so insincere."
Xie Baomin smiled nonchalantly:
"I'm just going to show you. I'm not preaching to you. If you want to learn, follow Lao Cheng's example and kneel down and propose a cup of tea... Lao Song, put down the knife! I'm telling you, if you go further, it's either a hospital or a prison cell. You
Do you want to reunite with Meng Dexing in the ward, or want to reunite with Meng Kaikai in prison? Choose!"
Just now, when Song Dahai suddenly picked up the boning knife in Yin Hongbin's hand, everyone was shocked.
But after listening to Xie Baomin's words, Lao Song smiled helplessly:
"You are such a bitch, can't you say something nice? Who the hell wants to be with that father and son?"
Xie Baomin stood next to the tall Yuan Debiao and said:
"It's noisy, it's noisy, you bitch actually stabbed me, Lao Yuan, there is a catfish in Building 15, how about we bring it over and make it stew in an iron pot?"
"Okay, put more soybean paste. The fish stewed in the iron pot will not be fragrant without the soybean paste."
After the laughter, Xie Baomin said:
"All salty ingredients must be calculated, and before calculation, you have to taste the saltiness with your own mouth, so that you can accurately grasp the salty taste."
In short, this is a very troublesome and tedious step, and people without a certain level of cooking should not even think about it.
Moreover, this is a stock stew. You must fully calculate the salt content of the first pot of stock, and then determine the amount of ingredients used in the second pot of soup based on the saltiness of the stock.
Lin Xu was secretly speechless.
Hey, who would have thought that cooking is closely related to mathematics.
Fortunately, we graduated from the Central Bank of Finance and Economics.
Otherwise it would be really difficult to calculate.
Xie Baomin briefly talked about his calculation method. As for whether everyone can learn it, he doesn't care. Today he is only responsible for teaching the disciples, and the other head chefs are all supporting him.
Xie Baomin is highly talented and has a more thorough and in-depth understanding of cooking.
Listening to his explanation, the head chefs all became serious. Even Song Dahai, who had just used a boning knife to scare Lao Xie, was now holding a small notebook and carefully memorizing calculation techniques.
Although this seemed funny, no one laughed at him.
Everyone who is serious about making progress should be encouraged and supported, not laughed at.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Although Song Dahai is not that strong compared to these chefs, looking at the capital and even the country, he is still the top Chinese cooking master.
Lin Xu also listened carefully. He didn't take a pen and paper, so he had to open the note on his phone and write down the key points of the calculation.
These are the experiences summed up by senior brothers, which cannot be bought with money.
When the talk was almost finished, everyone discussed it for a while.
Xie Baomin said with his hands behind his back:
"Are you satisfied now? Each person takes a kitchen knife and starts to chop (sào) the minced meat for the soup with the back of the knife. This soup is more difficult to chop. Beef minced, pork minced, and duck minced are used from beginning to end.
, chicken mince and fish mince... If you don’t do it, you won’t be shown the following steps..."
Zhao Xuesheng has already prepared the meat nearby.
Beef and pork are meats with less fascia, duck and chicken are breasts, and as for fish, they are a few deep-sea cod.
When Song Dahai saw the fish, he immediately picked it up:
"Whoever partners with me, one fish per person, let's see who can make delicate fish paste."
Yin Hongbin got the beef ribs and discussed with Fan Ming and Yuan Debiao how to make meat paste.
As for pork tenderloin, duck breast, chicken breast, etc., they were all made in twos and threes.
Diaoyutai still has a strong learning atmosphere.
Lin Xu felt that if he took the postgraduate entrance examination, he would definitely be able to get there by studying with them.
How about learning from someone who is already successful in another industry? Isn’t it better to be a person who is a glamorous person?
Why have several of Meng Dexing’s juniors been cheating and cheating since they were on CCTV? Isn’t it because it feels better to be surrounded by others?
There will be no such person in Diaoyutai. The only person who is qualified to be cheered and supported by others is now engaged in the business of finding fault with his colleagues.
Originally, someone wanted to use their connections to get on Lao Xie’s line and help his store with a wave of soft advertising.
But when they discovered that Xie Baomin could find many minor flaws in Linji Food's food, these people immediately stopped.
The more one talks about oneself, the more venomous one’s mouth is. Who dares to get close to them?
Lin Xu held the kitchen knife and was about to follow suit for a while when Xie Baomin suddenly patted him on the shoulder:
"Junior brother, let's go, I want to tell you something."
Lin Xu put down the kitchen knife with some confusion and then followed him upstairs.
When they arrived at the tea room upstairs, Xie Baomin entered the room and started to boil water. He also took out a top-quality small green mandarin orange and put it in the tea cup, as if he wanted to rinse it and make tea.
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Brother, what's going on?"
"It's okay. I just want to keep you busy and keep you busy. Have you learned the calculation method I just mentioned? I can teach you if you don't understand."
Lin Xu was deeply moved by these words:
"It's almost done. I plan to go back and practice more. It's useless to just ponder this kind of content. You have to practice more. Only when you practice well can you master it."
When the water boiled, Xie Baomin gave a thumbs up and said:
"Yes, Master also said to practice more and practice more. Only by practicing more can you truly master it."
The two brothers drank tea and chatted for more than an hour in the tea room upstairs.
Wait until you have rested enough before going downstairs.
At this time, all kinds of meat paste are also ready.
Xie Baomin took a net bag and began to put celery, carrots, onions and other vegetables into it.
Quantities are not placed randomly, but have a certain basis.
And the size of the ingredients is also particular.
The celery section is about five centimeters long. If it is too wide, cut it into strips. Cut the carrot into thick slices. Cut the onion into quarters.
After getting ready, he put the net bag into the soup pot.
Guo Weidong saw it and said:
"Put it in a mesh bag. It seems like it needs to be taken out in advance."
Xie Baomin nodded:
"Simmer for an hour and take it out so that the aroma of the vegetables is in the soup, but it should not be too rich. Too strong will overwhelm the aroma of the bone broth."
After the vegetables were stewed, Yin Hongbin also started mixing the noodles to make ramen.
Fifteen-knot ramen is relatively difficult. Not only does it require premium high-gluten flour, but it is also best to add one or two handfuls of gluten powder into it, so that the gluten will be stronger.
The so-called gluten is actually a component of gluten.
After adding gluten, the gluten content will be more.
Just one or two handfuls of this stuff will do. If there are more, the dough will not mix well.
Xie Baomin said:
"Generally, when ramen is cooked for more than 15 bucks, some gluten powder will be added, but no one will say it publicly because it is the secret of the ramen master, including Lao Yin. He seems to have thick eyebrows and big eyes. You have to ask him for confirmation.
We don’t admit the use of gluten."
Yin Hongbin smiled helplessly:
"You have revealed all the business secrets of our Bai Gu master. You can't tell them when you go out to visit stores. Otherwise, they will beat you up later, and I don't care."
"I definitely won't say it, and even if I do, netizens won't believe it. Last time I visited a Huaiyang restaurant, I said that the lion's head was not relaxed enough and that it should be rested in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the meat release its strength. Then netizens
The barrage was sarcastic that I didn’t read the tip of the tongue, and it didn’t say it needed to be relaxed.”
This time it was Qiu Zhenhua’s turn to complain:
"Why do you say everything to others? The biggest secret of making a lion head is to relax."
Dai Jianli on the side said:
"Honest people like me and Lao Xie, when facing netizens, we really dig our hearts out and say whatever we know. I didn't expect you guys to hide it."
Regarding the issue of the lion head, Lin Xu also had a question when he looked at the tip of his tongue.
Why did the chef in the show put the lion's head in the pot instead of putting it directly into the pot after putting it on the plate, and then put it into the pot with the plate in hand?
I always thought it was to have a sense of ritual when shooting.
Now when I heard what my senior brother said, I realized that it had nothing to do with the sense of ritual. It was a key step that was cut off.
He asked curiously:
"Remember that the tip of the tongue lens is ready and placed on the plate, are there any other steps in between?"
Guo Weidong said:
"You saw the chef putting the food on the plate, but what you didn't see was that he put it in the refrigerator to rest for an hour, took it out an hour later, and then put it into the pot to stew over low heat... This is the lion
It is an important step to make the head melt in your mouth, but the chefs are not allowed to disclose it in order to keep it secret."
So that’s what happened.
Lin Xu was secretly shocked when he heard that he had been deceived by the Tongue Crew for so many years.
No wonder my mother excitedly followed the TV to make the lion's head, but it never tasted as delicious as advertised. It turned out that the steps were not given.
Since ancient times, traditional industries have adhered to the principle of "it would rather be lost than passed on".
I originally thought that in modern society, this habit would change.
Unexpectedly, this is still the case.
Chinese food is now being chased by Western food, Western fast food, and all kinds of pre-made dishes. Now we are not teaching real skills. If this continues, Chinese food will sooner or later become like martial arts, turning into a trick.
Then, Yin Hongbin mixed the noodles, and Zhao Xuesheng brought half a pot of lard, which was probably used for frying the noodles.
Everyone was chatting happily, only Lin Xu was worried about the future of Chinese food.
It's a pity that he is a man of few words now, so he can only hold back his thoughts for now. When conditions are available in the future, he will have to find a way to contribute to Chinese food and let Chinese cooking continue to be passed down.
One hour passed quickly, and Xie Baomin took out the soft vegetables.
Because it is not overcooked, the soup does not have the sour and strange smell of rotten vegetables.
But if you continue to cook, the flavor will definitely come out.
After simmering for another hour, when the soup became thicker and thicker, Xie Baomin turned off the heat, took out all the cooked ingredients, wrapped gauze around a large colander, and passed it through the pot several times.
When the temperature drops to 50 or 60 degrees, pour in the minced beef and start sweeping the soup.
After scanning four times in a row, the color of the soup stock was very light, almost only a little light brown.
Xie Baomin poured the fish paste into it and made the soup for the last time.
At this time, Yin Hongbin had already started ramen.
He pulled it one button after another. He had to go faster now, otherwise after thirteen buttons, the noodles would be dry, and if he pulled again, it would be completely broken.
After pulling it to fifteen buttons, although the whole thing has been stretched, there are some disconnected parts in the middle.
An oversized eucalyptus board has been laid out on the workbench.
Yin Hongbin pressed one end of the noodles, and Lin Xu pulled the other end.
After the fifteenth button is completely opened, the noodles look thinner than hair.
Qiu Zhenhua held the kitchen knife used for cutting noodles, raised the knife with his hand, and cut the noodles every two feet or so. Then he used the knife to pick up one section and put it into the lard pot next to it.
The lard is 30% hot, and when the noodles are put in, tiny bubbles appear.
Xie Baomin said:
"Pay attention to the ignition and don't let the oil temperature exceed 30%, otherwise the noodles will fry and change color. Be sure to keep the noodles white, so as to meet the requirements."
Qiu Zhenhua wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"Several of us were still in a hurry. How did Chef Gao do it all by himself back then?"
Lin Xu also wanted to know the answer. Maybe this is what makes Master so awesome.
At that time, he might just want to eat a bowl of noodles.
So I made such a "simple" bowl of noodles, so simple that even middle-aged state banquet chefs need to cooperate to complete it.
But Master is too busy eating noodles and doesn’t pay attention to nutrition.
Wouldn't it be more perfect if there were another egg lying on it...
Lin Xu saw the remaining chicken minced meat next to him and suddenly slapped his forehead:
"Yes, you can add another lying egg!"
Thinking of this, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to add some little tricks to the bowl of noodles for Master...
