Ye Gui was sitting in the private room, looking at the exquisitely decorated private room, and couldn't help but say: "This private room is very warm and cozy, just like home!"
“It’s hard to imagine that this is in the center of a shopping mall. It’s really quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle!”
"This table was made by Liu Feng himself, and the murals on the wall were painted by Liu Feng's son!"
On the wall is a painting composed of rough lines.
It’s a family of three eating together!
Very warm!
"The taste of Hangbang cuisine is mainly salty, with a slight sweetness. 'Light' is a symbolic feature of Hangbang cuisine."
"Hangbang cuisine is divided into two schools: 'Shang' and 'Chengxiang'." www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
"The former mainly uses fish, shrimp and poultry, and is good at stir-frying, stewing, tender and other techniques. It pays attention to the taste of clean, fresh, crisp and tender, and pays attention to retaining the original flavor. The latter uses mostly meat!"
"The cooking methods of Hangbang cuisine are mainly steaming, stewing, boiling and roasting. They pay attention to light oil, light pulp, light and tender taste, and focus on the combination of fresh and salty."
"Actually, Hangzhou cuisine is a bit like a combination of China and Shanghai cuisine and Suzhou cuisine, taking the best of them!"
“That’s how Hangzhou cuisine became today!”
After Ye Gui finished the introduction, Mrs. Luo had already served the first dish of Babao Tofu.
The white and tender tofu is mixed with various side dishes, the color is bright and the ingredients are fragrant.
First of all, the word color is a perfect score!
"Yes, this portion of eight-treasure tofu has eight treasures!"
Ye Gui took a deep breath. The taste of tofu dominated the scene, but the taste of the other side dishes was not bad at all!
He scooped up a mixture of tofu and eight treasures with a spoon.
The colorful eight treasures make people feel happy.
"Pork belly, sea cucumber, fresh squid, mushrooms, ham, green beans, corn shoots, dried shrimps, etc. are mixed into eight treasures!"
“There are seafood, delicacies, and poultry here!”
Ye Gui ate them all in one bite.
“The taste is very delicious, and the texture is also great, including the smooth and tender tofu, the crispiness of green beans and corn shoots, and the deliciousness of pork belly, sea cucumber and squid!”
"It is indeed a palace dish approved by Emperor Kangxi!"
"It is said that when Kangxi was in power, he liked to eat dishes with soft texture and delicious taste. The imperial chefs of the Qing Dynasty often used chicken, duck, fish and deboned meat to make dishes to meet the requirements of Emperor Kangxi."
“Once, the imperial dining room took tender tofu made from high-quality soybeans, added minced meat, minced ham, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, and pine nuts, and stewed it with chicken soup until it became a soup. After Kangxi tasted it, he felt that the tofu was extremely tender and tasted great.
Extraordinarily delicious and extremely satisfying.”
"He believes that this dish has two major features: first, it uses tofu, mushrooms, pine nuts and other long-lived things as raw materials, which can make people live longer; second, the tofu is cooked in a way that makes it delicious and tender, better than bird's nest."
"Because the dish is made of eight high-quality raw materials, it is named 'Eight Treasure Tofu' and is listed as my favorite royal meal and palace treasure dish."
"This dish later spread from the palace to modern times!"
"It's just that the modern eight-treasure tofu has also been improved, and it is a very classic medicinal dish!"
“It’s just that this dish still has a lot to improve!”
Ye Gui took another bite: "First of all, the tofu. The selection of soybeans is not particular enough. It is best to choose soybeans of similar sizes and soak them for a period of time before making tofu. Then the proportion of eight treasures needs to be increased!"
"The pork belly can be reduced by 50g, the sea cucumber can be reduced, the fresh squid can be increased, and don't choose canned food for the corn shoots!"
"Because in order to facilitate transportation, canned food often has preservatives added to it and is always soaked in liquid. The taste is actually very bad!"
Ye Gui said one by one, Mrs. Luo over there had already walked in carrying the second dish, dried bamboo shoots and old duck pot.
She remembered Ye Gui's words and said, "Master God of Cookery, those corn shoots are really hard to buy. What I buy are actually canned. There's nothing I can do about it!"
"Sister-in-law, if the corn shoots are hard to sell, you can substitute them for other dishes. Just let Master Liu tell you. I won't do anything for you!"
"Let him try them one by one for you, and he will definitely be able to find the best substitute!"
Ye Guike was happy to see Liu Feng being tortured. The more he tortured, the better.
I want this guy to be attacked by the dark cooking world!
Purely deserves it!
Luo Donghua received the Lord Cook's permission and immediately said: "Then I'll let him do it. I'll just say it's the Lord Cook's order. I believe he won't dare not listen!"
"Yes, if he doesn't listen, let him come to me!"
Ye Gui first scooped himself a bowl of old duck soup with a spoon.
This old duck soup is darker in color and has a thick layer of oil floating on it.
The color of the oil is also dark black, which does not mean that the pan is burnt.
It's because of the color formed after various spices are stir-fried and stewed.
The duck is lying on top of the casserole, and with its closed eyes, you can tell that it is sleeping peacefully!
But the essence of duck, dried bamboo shoots and other side dishes are all in this pot of soup.
Ye Gui blew lightly and then took a sip of soup.
"Well, the taste of this soup is very mellow, and there is obviously a layer of oil on top, but it is not greasy at all!"
"On the contrary, it is very appetizing. This duck is an authentic Jiangnan native duck, and it is also our traditional Jiangnan mallard!"
After taking a sip of the soup, Ye Gui grabbed the duck leg and tore off a big duck leg.
This duck leg is so exciting!
