It is a happy thing to experience being a chef. It is a kind of enjoyment to watch all the fresh ingredients transformed by your own hands.
It is another kind of enjoyment to smell the various original flavors formed into new tangy aromas after being cooked at high temperatures.
The most enjoyable part is naturally tasting your own masterpiece.
At this point, Jiang Yan is different from others, because his five senses are stronger than others, so he can taste flavors that ordinary people cannot taste.
This is an advantage, but also a disadvantage.
After all, under a microscope, there are bacteria in pure water.
However, how to use this advantage, such as using one's own sense of smell and taste that is beyond ordinary people as a standard, to process the ingredients and dishes more carefully during cooking, and then make it into a new dish with improved color, fragrance and all aspects, this has to be
It’s time to study Kung Fu.
This thing looks simple, but in fact it is difficult. After all, it is a finishing process. Fortunately, Jiang Yan has blue "savvy", so he made the enhanced version of "Baili Fresh Three Treasures" in less than 50 days.
However, limited by the ingredients, condiments and cooking methods, the so-called enhanced version of "Three Treasures of Baili Fresh" actually has limited room for improvement.
Especially in the taste of ordinary people, compared with ordinary ones, the difference is probably 98 points and 95 points. Anyway, they are all the best among the best. The difference in taste is really not too big, so only Jiang Yan can enjoy it.
.
So in the cycle that followed for more than a year, Jiang Yan successively enhanced more than a dozen dishes.
He doesn't know how much of his skills he will retain after his return, but he doesn't expect anything extra. He can just enjoy it now.
Being a chef is a blessing, but it is also quite hard.
For nearly two years, Jiang Yan cooked food at noon and evening, and ran the market with Jiang Yaozhu in the early morning.
"Baili Xian" uses a large amount of ingredients every day. When business is good, it becomes more important to control the quality of the ingredients.
In this aspect, Jiang Yan and Jiang Yaozhu are absolutely dedicated to their duties and will never cheat.
So after nearly two years, Jiang Yan feels that even if he doesn't have the skills he has now, he can still "enforce the code" accurately.
What is "coding"? In a simple sentence, when you see a piece of food, no matter what the food is, you can accurately know how much it weighs without having to pick it up or weigh it.
Both Jiang Yaozhu and "Jiang Yan" are very skilled. They can basically see each other accurately. If the error is accurate to grams, it will basically not exceed 10 grams. Jiang Yan himself also tried it, but the effect was not very good. Half a tael
Errors often occur, but this is already great. After all, the premise here is that there is no limit to ingredients, dry goods, wet goods, seafood, and delicacies are all available, so Jiang Yan himself is satisfied.
After returning to the restaurant after purchasing the goods, some ingredients must be processed in advance. Many of these are cutting and matching, but Jiang Yan also has to keep an eye on them. After all, if something goes wrong, cooking a lot of dishes at once is not allowed.
For example, for this dish, the fish body must be marinated with coarse salt four hours in advance. The taste of the dish without this process will be greatly reduced, which is a bad sign.
So in general, as a chef in a civilian restaurant, he is definitely not as comfortable as a chef in a big hotel, and this is the reason why Jiang Yan was not able to complete the three years.
But it didn't matter to him. As for his cooking skills, Jiang Yan wouldn't reveal them easily even if he was given a purple one.
Sometimes this kind of skill cannot be shown, especially for men. If you show it, you can wait in the future. The kitchen is all yours, so it is very good now. The eldest wife and the other three ladies can cook and eat for daily use.
Be changed?
So at the end of the 600th cycle, Jiang Yan returned directly after confirming that he had eaten all the "Baili Xian" dishes for more than one round.
Back on the set, more than ten minutes later, as the director's signal sounded, the shooting of a small scene ended.
Then Jiang Yan walked out of the set directly, because the rhythm of TVB was very fast, and the next scene started soon.
Jiang Yan estimates that the 25 episodes of "Delicious Love" will be filmed in less than two months, and it may even be faster.
After checking the time, it was found that it was still ten or twenty minutes before Ah Feng and the others arrived. Jiang Yan had nothing to do, so he and Li Xiuxiu walked around Lamma Island together.
There is nothing interesting to see elsewhere, because Jiang Yan has "lived" here for two years, and apart from the different people, there is nothing new.
But he still had to go to the market. He had to try out his newly acquired skills and test how much experience he had in the past two years.
This time through time travel, he got a purple skill: "The humane version of the Three Treasures of Baiweixian".
All purple skills have interesting effects.
First of all, the three treasures of Baiweixian are the three dishes, baked lobster in soup, pan-fried yellow lobster and glutinous rice baked crab pot.
The skill specifies these three dishes, which does not mean that Jiang Yan can only cook these three dishes, but that when Jiang Yan cooks these three dishes, he will not only make the best dishes, but also stimulate the prefix "human touch"
”.
The "Three Treasures of Human Touch" Baili Xianbao has two effects. The first is that it will be the same as in the play. The "Three Treasures of Human Touch" was proposed by an old neighbor in the play. The protagonist Yo Ma said, you
The cooking is good, but without the human touch, the food is just food, nothing special. In fact, they just want to remember the late Jiang Yaozhu. After all, they watched Jiang Yaozhu go from the stall to the restaurant.
, are memories of decades.
Therefore, with the so-called "human touch", the dishes will be better than the ordinary three treasures. This "good" does not mean the color, fragrance, but the kindness and comfort of eating, which is similar to inspiring "Mother"
"Cooking" is the taste of my mother. Regardless of whether it tastes good or not objectively, subjectively it is the most delicious. This is integrated with emotions and cannot be brought about by ordinary colors, fragrances and flavors.
In addition to this effect, the "Three Treasures of Human Touch" also has an interesting function, that is, it allows diners eating at the same table to owe the producer a "favor".
To put it simply, it means being soft-spoken. If you eat my food, you have to do things for me.
Of course, this function also has some limitations, that is, it can only be used once a day, and you can only choose one food object at a time, and the other party can only be a stranger or an enemy. If you are already a friend, it cannot be triggered, and this favor
It's not a huge favor, and you definitely can't do anything beyond what is reasonable, such as committing a crime or something.
But it doesn't matter. Jiang Yan thinks this is enough. Treating him to a meal can get him a favor for free. If used well, the effect can be huge.
So Jiang Yan decided to give it a try after Ah Feng arrived.
Didn't he want to bring a little brother over? This is a stranger, right?
After making up his mind, Jiang Yan continued to go to the market. While selecting ingredients, he took the opportunity to teach Jiang Yan his basic cooking skills.
But just then his cell phone rang, and when he saw it, it was Ah Feng.
Five minutes later, Jiang Yan met Ah Feng and Huo Wenxi, but Jiang Yan's attention at the moment was entirely on the young man next to Ah Feng.
