Chapter 750 The roast duck is out of the oven, and all the netizens are crying; convinced, Xiaoli joins the job on the spot! [Please subscribe]
"Damn, I didn't expect roast duck to be so delicate."
There are more and more netizens in the live broadcast room. Many people think that a roast duck costing a few hundred yuan is essentially the same as a roast duck sold on the street for 10 or 20 yuan. However, after watching the live broadcast, they discovered that the methods are completely different.
Roast ducks on the street are basically served in a rotating electric oven. If someone wants one, they take it out, chop it into large pieces, pack it up and leave.
The roast duck made by Lin Xu and Ning Xiaoli not only required manual operation throughout the process, but the two also introduced the previous preparations. Basically, they had to clean up the duck the day before.
The collected ducks are hung with maltose water, and then placed in the drying room to dry overnight until the duck skin becomes tight and has no moisture. The next morning, it needs to be brushed with another layer of water.
Then fill it with soup, bake it, and keep turning it while baking.
After such a complete process, I suddenly felt that two or three hundred roast ducks did not seem so expensive.
“I just want to know when Lin Ji’s roast duck will be available!”
"Yes, yes, please tell me a new date, Boss Lin. We are all waiting to eat it."
"Lin remembered the roast duck, and the pressure was on those traditional old restaurants."
"Anyway, when we eat roast duck from now on, we will only recognize Lin Ji's."
"1. We don't care about the history of roast duck, how many celebrities have eaten it, or how many photos are hung in the lobby. We just want to eat delicious roast duck, not listen to the stories."
"It is expected to be very popular. After all, there are more and more roast ducks telling stories in Beijing, but there are fewer ones telling stories about taste."
"..."
Sitting in a booth not far away, Shi Wenqing looked at the barrage on his mobile phone, and then looked at the roast duck being roasted not far away, his eyes full of anticipation.
I haven’t eaten roast duck in a few months, so I was already very greedy, but after watching the live broadcast, I became even more greedy.
Dundun on the side is currently lying on the booth, getting together with the little girl who is also lying on the booth, and they are having a great time.
This scene was seen by Chen Yan, who had just rushed to the store, and couldn't help muttering:
"This stinky guy is gentle to the elderly and loving to the children, but he bullies the adults in the middle."
Chen Yuanyuan was sitting aside eating pumpkin seeds at the moment. When she saw Chen Yan coming over, she quickly said:
"Sister Yan, Sister Yan, Sister Wenqing is here. If you have any questions during pregnancy, you can ask her for advice."
Chen Yan walked over, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said:
"I don't have anything to ask about pregnancy. I've done all the necessary checks. The only thing I don't understand now is how to prevent hair loss during pregnancy. I feel like my hair has been falling out recently."
Shi Wenqing took the teapot and poured her a cup of tea:
"Are you anxious? Don't think too much. Eat and drink when you should. If not, go out for a walk, travel or something. Don't stay around all the time."
Chen Yan also knows this, but she just can't help but think too much.
As a new mother, I always feel that I have not prepared enough for my child, and there are still some shortcomings.
"Hey, these melon seeds are pretty good, Yuanyuan, did you buy them?"
"No, we made it in the store ourselves."
Ever since pumpkin soup became available in the store, the amount of pumpkin used has been quite large.
In the past, pumpkin seeds were dug out and thrown away. A few days ago, Ma Zhiqiang and the others had nothing to do. They washed the pumpkin seeds they dug out, and followed the method of making melon seeds, first boiling them in salt water, and then drying them in a pot.<
/p>
The prepared pumpkin seeds are very tasty and easy to eat, and now they have become a popular fruit plate.
Chen Yan pursed her lips in the direction of the oven and asked curiously:
"How long will it take?"
"I don't know. I watched the live broadcast and it's already colored. I guess it won't take long to bake."
In front of the oven, Ning Xiaoli waved the long pole to move the roast duck close to the flame farther away, and then moved the roast duck far away back to the top of the flame.
At this time, the duck skin has already turned golden red. As long as it continues to roast for a while, the skin will turn into a bright and attractive maroon red. At that time, just burn the duck's crotch and the duck will be officially done.
He glanced at Lin Xu's side. The movements were equally skillful and rich in techniques, and the whole process was very smooth, which made people feel very comfortable.
Lost, completely lost.
Although the roast duck has not yet been made, Ning Xiaoli is an expert, and he can tell from his smooth movements that Lin Xu's skill at making roast duck is better than his own.
There is a high probability that he is on the same level as his third uncle or his grandfather.
No wonder you are so confident, no wonder you want to cook and cook together.
Such a master can indeed wear two hats and cook both kinds of roast duck.
At this time, Ning Xiaoli felt that she had been a little careless in the past. Wei Qian was right. Lin Xu was very confident in introducing new dishes.
Talent is indeed more important than hard work.
Think about how I practiced roast duck since I was a child, and in the end I was worse than a college graduate who became a monk halfway.
But he was not jealous of Lin Xu, but rather grateful, because Lin Xu allowed him to see his cooking skills getting closer, which should be his goal.
Grandpa probably had similar thoughts when he was surpassed by Chef Gao.
That’s why I always regard Chef Gao as my true friend.
Ning Xiaoli had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but this was not the time to feel emotional. He shook his head to drive away the chaotic thoughts and concentrated on roasting the duck.
Grandpa has said since childhood that roast duck is the most taboo distraction.
Because if you get distracted, the color of the duck will be affected, and the roasted duck will be uneven in color. Customers have the right to return or exchange it.
In addition to the color, the taste of duck skin is also different.
Ordinary diners may not be able to taste it, but experts can still taste it.
The camera at this moment is from the side and rear between the two people. Not only can you clearly see the movements of their hands, but you can also see the duck hanging in the furnace.
After Lin Xu flipped the duck, he turned his face to the camera and said:
"Roasting duck is really laborious work. I heard that the only person that Master Bai An didn't dare to mess with in the past was the roast duck master, because this two-meter-long wooden pole is more enjoyable to play with than a rolling pin."
In the live broadcast room, netizens were amused by his words:
"Aren't you afraid of offending Master Bai An by saying this? Oh, Boss Lin is Master Bai An himself, so that's okay."
"Who would have thought that Boss Lin could also have a white case and a red case."
"It feels like the duck is almost healed!"
"Brothers, I have a strange disease. The doctor said that I must eat a freshly baked roast duck every day, otherwise my mouth will be crooked, my eyes will be drooling, can you help me?"
"I can cure the disease you have upstairs. Just find a piece of dried sheep shit and chew it and it will be cured, Trane."
"Brother, if you don't understand, don't make blind suggestions. How did I hear that it's donkey dung and eggs?"
"The case was solved. It was yak dung that was dried in the sun and used as tea cakes soaked in water. I used it for a month. Guess what, the disease was completely cured and the roots were eradicated!"
"..."
Not long after, Ning Xiaoli picked up a ruddy roast duck, put the duck's legs close to the burning firewood, cooked it for about half a minute, and then took it out of the oven. The duck was officially ready.
At the same time, Lin Xu also picked out the duck.
The two men carried the duck and placed it on top of the empty basins they had prepared. They pulled out the sorghum stalk stuck on the duck's butt, and the soup inside quickly flowed out.
This step made countless netizens twitch their hands, always feeling like their hands were burned.
"This step is more dangerous. If you want to do it at home, be sure to pay attention to safety... After putting the soup in, it's time to change the knife, but here I want to remind you a few words."
Lin Xu held up the roasted duck, which was red and plump, and faced the camera and said:
"Roast duck in a hanging oven is important for the duck breast to be plump, not collapsed, not cracked, and not blackened. If someone encounters a collapsed duck breast while eating roast duck, they can ask for a replacement or a refund, because this means that the duck is leftover.
...If this happens in Linji, the bill will be waived, and when we go back to eat duck, everyone can take photos and video surveillance."
The reason why he reminded me like this was firstly to prevent netizens from being deceived, and secondly to secretly advertise his roast duck.
And after such a reminder, everyone will take the initiative to take photos and videos when they come to eat roast duck in the future. The photos and videos taken will naturally be shared.
This is invisibly a kind of publicity for Linji Roast Duck.
But what he didn't expect was that after such a reminder, some netizens immediately said:
“I’ve tried it several times in Quanjude and it’s always collapsed and turned black. It seems like I’ve been fooled.”
"Don't go to that kind of roast duck restaurant where tourists eat group meals. It's not only expensive, but the quality is also poor. For roast duck, I recommend restaurants like Dadong Siji Minfu Biianfang."
"I have also eaten roast duck with collapsed breasts. Now that I think about it, the taste is really average."
"I will focus on Lin Ji from now on. As a duck, I only believe in Boss Lin."
"The best thing you said upstairs is roast duck!"
Lin Xu carried the roast duck to a long table with a large tray on it and two plates next to it.
He put on disposable gloves and prepared slices of roast duck.
"Don't think that slicing duck is easy. In fact, the surface of the duck is still at least over 100 degrees at this moment, and the temperature is very hot. It is very difficult to slice duck."
After Lin Xu finished speaking, he picked up a long narrow kitchen knife and started to slice the duck.
A good roast duck chef can not only roast the duck well, but the whole process of connecting the duck pieces is also quite artistic.
Ning Yiheng, who was standing next to him, looked at Lin Xu's way of making ducks, then looked at his eldest nephew's way of making ducks, and couldn't help but say:
"A complete defeat...Brother Lin's skills are amazing."
Xie Baomin patted his shoulder:
"Don't say that. Although there is a slight gap between the two, it is not big. In terms of scoring, although my junior brother can score ninety-eight or ninety-nine, Xiaoli's score is at least ninety-two or above."
In terms of cooking skills, Ning Xiaoli and Lin Xu are both very good. Looking at the entire capital, they make some of the best roast ducks, which are higher than those usually sold in various stores.
When comparing at the same level, every point counts.
Especially today, Lin Xu is using a stew oven that is not suitable for hanging ovens. To be able to reach such a level shows how advanced his craftsmanship is.
Guo Weidong commented sharply:
"With Lin Xu's skills, he can work as an executive chef in any roast duck restaurant. Xinghai should come and see it together. It's really exciting."
Chefs pay attention to specializing in one specialty.
But for some chefs, one skill can no longer bring out all their talents, so they should learn as much as possible and learn about the strengths of others. Only by mastering the skills can they truly become cooking masters.
Soon, the two ducks were ready.
Put the duck rack on the tray and put the duck meat on the plate.
Lin Xu brought the duck meat to the table next to him, then placed the prepared duck cakes, sweet noodle sauce and other toppings on the table, and took off his gloves.
At this time, Ning Xiaoli had also finished sliced the roast duck and also brought the roast duck to the dining table.
"Master, please comment and comment."
Xie Baomin accompanied Uncle Gao to the camera, and the barrage immediately started to show that Gao Xiaoshuai has lost his vest. The teacher's wife Luo Shan also cooperated with a wave of rewards, making the atmosphere in the live broadcast room even more lively.
.
Uncle Gao sat down at the dining table and said to Xie Baomin standing next to him and Ning Yiheng not far away:
"There are certain things to pay attention to when tasting roast duck. You should not dip it into the sauce for the first bite. You have to eat it with a clear mouth first. During the preparation process of the roast duck, no seasoning can be added, so the duck meat should have a strong fragrance at this time, but it will not have a strong aroma.
If there is a peculiar smell, it means that the quality of the duck is very average."
He picked up a piece of duck meat, tasted it, nodded and said:
"This duck meat is of good quality."
He tasted Ning Xiaoli’s cooking again and praised:
"Xiao Li's vegetable juice is very clever. It adds a light fruity and vegetable flavor to the duck meat. It's very subtle, but it gives the duck meat a little more aftertaste. It's great. You have to have this spirit of exploration."
No matter when, children who work hard deserve praise and recognition.
As for those who are crazy or not, who is a chef who is not crazy?
In order to make the smoked fish well, didn’t I also make my eldest disciple eat it until he vomited it?
Ning Yiheng knew that Uncle Gao had a venomous mouth, so when he was waiting for the roast duck, he made up a lot of stories, hoping to stand up and smooth things over when his nephew was criticized.
But unexpectedly, there was not a word of criticism at all, but instead there was a burst of praise.
This made Ning Yiheng feel warm in his heart, and Ning Xiaoli was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Uncle Gao had such a good temper, completely different from the rumored venomous old naughty boy.
Rumors really kill people!
After talking about duck meat, Uncle Gao picked up a piece of duck skin, folded it in half, held it in his hand, squeezed it gently, and then said:
"If you want the duck skin to be delicious, there shouldn't be too much oil. If it drains and becomes full of oil after squeezing it, it means that the drying time is too short, and the roasting oven temperature is not enough, and the oil in the duck skin is not baked.
, the taste is not crispy."
Naturally, there was no fat to be squeezed out of today's duck. After all, it was a duck that had been dried overnight, and the oven temperature was maintained at around 230 degrees during roasting.
If the drying time is enough and the oven temperature is enough, the duck will naturally taste delicious.
In the live broadcast room, netizens drooled all over the floor when they saw the action of pinching duck skin:
"Uncle Gao, can you throw it into my mouth?"
"Ah ah ah ah, I can finish these two ducks in one go!"
“When I pinched the duck skin, I didn’t see any fat, but I heard it crispy.”
"Damn, this is better than any roast duck I've ever eaten. Hurry up and get the new one. I'll queue up at the door at midnight."
While everyone was discussing, Uncle Gao took a small pancake, dipped it in sweet bean sauce, rolled two pieces of duck meat and spring onions, and ate it happily, and he affirmed the two people's craftsmanship:
"Yes, most roast ducks in Beijing are not as good as these... Don't be stunned, hurry up and try it while it's hot. Are you really treating this as a gourmet competition?"
Obviously, Uncle Gao doesn't want to give points, he just wants it to end like this.
But Ning Xiaoli did not miss this opportunity to learn, and he took the initiative to ask:
"Grandpa Gao, what needs to be improved in the roast duck I made? Please don't praise me. My grandpa said that you were a good friend when you didn't hold back in the competition. Now don't hold back either, just say it."<
/p>
Uncle Gao was a little surprised. Most people would only feel happy when they hear compliments, but this child actually asked to point out his shortcomings. It's really rare.
He took a bite of the roast duck made by Ning Xiaoli and asked the question:
"When you were roasting, you adjusted it too frequently, causing the duck to be moved before it was roasted properly. You should be bolder, so that the duck will be roasted more thoroughly... In addition, although vegetable juice is easy to use, you must also pay attention to the amount.
, if you can add one-third or one-fourth of the spice water to it, the effect will be better..."
After talking about each of the problems, they are not big problems, but if they are corrected, it can improve the roast duck's score from 92 to 93, 94, or even 95...
Ning Xiaoli listened carefully and even opened the memo on her phone to write down what she didn't understand.
Xie Baomin touched Ning Yiheng with his shoulder:
"Your nephew's future achievements should be higher than yours. His energy is so rare nowadays."
"Isn't it normal that the young are better than the old?"
After Ning Yiheng finished speaking, he took the duck cake and tasted the roast duck made by Lin Xu, and then tasted the roast duck made by Ning Xiaoli. His face was full of admiration:
"Thanks to the small number of people in your school, if there are 180 people here, the entire Chinese food system will have to be completely changed."
In fact, Diaoyutai has many young people with amazing talents, but most of them are short-lived, either squandering their talents or having bad temperament and unable to develop their talents.
Only Lin Xu, whose talent seems boundless and whose mentality is always peaceful, seems to be born to prepare to become a great master.
Xie Baomin said modestly:
"Our masters are not as good as you say, we just know a little bit about the cooking industry."
The roast ducks cannot be left in the stove for too long. They must be roasted one by one, otherwise they will be burnt.
Lin Xu picked up the roasting duck pole and was about to continue roasting the duck in the oven when Ning Xiaoli said to him:
"I've decided to stay. It doesn't matter what the chef is. I only have one request. When you're not busy, you have to learn my roast duck skills."
Finally got it... Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"As long as you want to learn from each other, you can always...give you a week, can you build the entire roast duck team?"
The roast duck department has a double configuration, with two head chefs, four to six roast duck chefs, some assistant cooks, and several duck knife masters.
Ning Xiaoli said:
"No problem, I'll just take advantage of this week to conduct preliminary training for the employees."
Neither of them liked those empty politenesses, so since they stayed, they went straight to the point and started talking about roast duck.
Their voices reached the live broadcast room, and countless netizens were heartbroken:
"What? You want me to wait for a week?"
"How do you want me to spend this week?"
"I only have to wait three minutes to eat instant noodles, but you actually made me wait a week!"
"Start eating simple meals today and save money for a week to go to Lam Kee to eat roast duck."
"Don't be impulsive. Maybe you can't afford Lin Ji's roast duck with a week's worth of meals."
Netizens complained or ridiculed in the comments that Lin Xu and Ning Xiaoli had already started roasting their second roast duck.
Ye Lixin, who was inconvenient to appear on camera, tasted the roast duck, and the taste was really incredible.
No wonder even Chef Gao doesn't want to give a rating. Just two servings of roast duck will instantly kill most of the roast ducks on the market. In this case, it's naturally not suitable to distinguish between superior and inferior.
Besides, this is a discussion and exchange between family members, not a fight for fame and fortune, so there is no need to take it too seriously.
Soon, the roast ducks were cooked one by one. Ning Yiheng, Xie Baomin, Guo Weidong, Dai Jianli and others all performed beautiful duck-cutting skills, fully demonstrating their superb knife skills.
After all the roast ducks in the furnace were roasted, Lin Xu freed up the stew oven, burned it with fruit wood for a while, then put the roast ducks in one by one, and made eight stew oven roast ducks.
While he was busy doing this, Cai Sen had been taking photos of the ducks that had been photographed. Occasionally, he would take out the photos and ask Chen Yuanyuan to help check how the photos went.
On the other side, as soon as the morning shooting at Yanjing Hotel ended, everyone hurriedly got in the car and went straight to Yingchun Street on the North Fourth Ring Road, intending to try the delicious Linji Roast Duck...
When Zeng Xiaoqi went out, she deliberately dragged Qi Siming into the car.
If you go to Linji to eat and drink, of course you have to bring your boyfriend to get your money back. By the way, I will tell these three single dogs Shu Baobao, Xiaodoudou and Yuanyuan with practical actions:
"It's very easy to find a boyfriend, and you can be single if you're not careful!"
