Chapter 473 Everything can be rinsed - chicken and fish maw
At the banquet, they talked about the place where Ke Daxiu joined the army. Like Qian Duoduo, he was stationed in Caishiji. Zhao Kui immediately wrote a letter to him, asking Qian Duoduo to take care of him.
The next day, Dr. Ke Erxing's tea wine officially took up his post. By the way, let's talk about the name change. The original name of Gao Dashang was changed by socialization. It is the same in ancient and modern times. Taking the positions in modern enterprises as an example, the person responsible for technology
First he was the technical section chief, then he was the manager, then he was the minister, then he was the technical executive officer, and now he is the chief scientist, etc. A doctor, a learned and talented person, i′1 was originally an official name.
,丶.In the Qin and Han Dynasties, officials were in charge of books and literature, knowledgeable about history, and engaged in teaching students. Later, officials who specialized in one art were also called doctors. In the Song Dynasty, this name was spread to society, and those who specialized in one art
Craftsmen are also called doctors. For example, a doctor in a medical clinic is called a medical doctor, a high-end waiter responsible for receiving guests in a large restaurant is called a tea wine doctor, etc.
He is fair and clean, well-mannered, and well-educated, which adds a bit of bookishness to him. To put it bluntly, Dr. Chajiu is a high-end waiter, but like other restaurants, he is dressed in waiter's clothes.
Isn't this a waste of great material? In order to be able to strike up a conversation with officials and outsiders, the clothes should also be in the direction they like. The scholar's dress will definitely attract them and resonate with them. Originally, his knowledge
It is definitely above the ordinary scholars. From this aspect, the scholar's dress is also his true nature, which will definitely resonate with them. He can be responsible for receiving the guests in the private seats.
Zhao Kui and others discussed it and found out that his brother was a hunter and there happened to be some unsold furs at home that he needed to dispose of before joining the army. He bought all the furs on the shelf for him and used them to buy a brand new outfit. It was winter, and the clothes were animal-like.
The fur hat is made of mink, and the style is like that of a scribe. It is said that Buddha needs gold clothing, and people rely on clothes. Once you wear new clothes, you will look like a handsome young man.
"You think it's not appropriate for a waiter like me, who is dressed like Meng Changjun, one of the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period, to be more beautiful than the shopkeepers?" He looked at the bronze mirror and shyly said to the three shopkeepers: "In this case, I
I can’t get out.”
He is handsome, but he is timid, too timid, and not confident. He doesn't look like a prince when he wears a dragon robe. To become confident and temperamental, you need experience. But where can you find opportunities for experience?
At the door, a waiter came to report: "Shopkeeper, Yang Fengshan and Mr. Zhu sent someone to send a message. He will be here in an hour."
Just now, I was thinking of finding a temporary chef for Ke Erchang, but he came here. It was really interesting for Zhao Kui to think about it. These days, he is busy opening a new business, so he could just ask Mr. Zhu to take him out.
"No, my wife is very restless and wants to go to Shiyue Tower. I also want to go to the county to buy some things, so I took a detour here." When talking about Ke Erxing in the area, Yuan Wai Zhu said
He promised with all his heart: "Come with me to the county town to do some shopping, see the world, see how to treat people, and then go back to Fat Heart Restaurant."
After saying that, he took his wife and went to Shiyue Tower with him.
The newly expanded Fat Heart Restaurant only has one dish of fat intestine hot pot as the finale. This is definitely not enough. It also needs several cheap hot pot dishes. After all, the diners it caters to are Lifu and the boat boss. Although they have many people, they don’t have the money in their pockets.
Limited. What relatively cheap meat can be used as the main ingredient of hot pot? Apart from pork, the most delicious and inexpensive meat is chicken. The three of them discussed it and decided to use chicken as the main ingredient to make a special dish.
hot pot.
"It is said that old hens are very nourishing. Chicken is used as hot pot and chicken soup is used as the base. It is definitely a good choice." Wu Xian analyzed: "It's just that the hen's meat is too old, so it is not suitable for hotpot."
Zhao Kui knew a lot about the local chicken breeds and said: "You can choose the local three-yellow chicken, which has tender meat."
"It's just that chicken is too monotonous. If you can add some fish maw, the flavor of the hot pot will be much richer." Zheng Fu thought of Lin'an's past and said, "It's just that this fish maw is one of the eight delicacies, and the price is too high."
After Zhao Kui heard about it, he replied: "There is a local specialty called pork skin, which is dried and fried pig skin. It is used to replace isinglass. It is cheap. How about we try it?"
Since it is a substitute for isinglass, it is natural that the two are similar in appearance and taste. The three of them asked the waiter to go to the market to buy some and prepare to try making a isinglass chicken hot pot.
Now that we have the base of the pot and the main course, we need to add some innovation to the side dishes. In the winter, except for some radish and cabbage, there are no other vegetables to choose from. After thinking for a while, Zhao Kui suggested: "How about we give it to you?"
Add some meatballs, radish meatballs, cabbage meatballs, etc. to make it comparable to the fat sausage."
This was a good idea. Just as he was told, Wu Pang cut the radish into shreds, squeezed out the water, added starch and seasonings, and quickly made radish balls. Zheng Fu, however, used a spoon to dig the radish into a ball shape and add some sugar on the outside.
A layer of starch is added. The same materials, different methods, and two kinds of meatballs are available in an instant.
"Bitaochun·Isinglass Chicken Hotpot"
The isinglass is fried pig skin, soaked in water until soft. The chicken must be the three-yellow chicken, which just started crowing a month ago.
Big red dates and small wolfberries are placed in the hot pot over charcoal. Add vegetable balls and water to boil.
After several trials, we finally decided on the recipe for chicken and fish maw hot pot. Choose a three-year-old hen, chop it into pieces, drain it with water to remove the floating bits, add star anise, cloves, cumin, cinnamon, etc., and put it into the pot with cold water.
Add Huadiao and galangal, cook Tongxiao in a casserole, take out the chicken pieces and spices, use the soup as the bottom of the pot, remove the bones from the taken out chicken pieces, chop the meat into pieces, add salt and starch together with shredded radish,
Form into meatballs.
Add salt to the hot pot base, add chopped pork skin, red dates, and winter bamboo shoots, put it on the hot pot and boil for a while, then add wolfberry. Divide the three-yellow chicken into two parts, slice the chicken legs and breasts, and shave out the other meat with a knife.
Finally, chop it into meat paste, cut the cabbage into very fine cubes, add allspice powder, wine, salt and starch together with the chicken paste to make chicken and cabbage balls. The vegetable side dishes are cabbage, radish and frozen tofu.
The reason why frozen tofu is used is because frozen tofu is porous and can absorb the umami flavor in the chicken soup. The chicken soup is not as fishy as fat intestines, and the tofu is very delicious after being absorbed.
The hot pot of Fat Heart Restaurant was officially launched at Pantan Pier. In winter, the river wind next to the pier is biting, but the restaurant is steaming hot. Dozens of hot pots are burning charcoal fires. The heat alone is enough to offset the cold.
The wind was blowing. White steam was rising from the hot pot. Lifu and the boat bosses were all sweating after eating. They ordered wine and started the drinking order while lighting the hot pot.
"Five leaders, six horses, good luck with the two, the Eight Immortals have crossed the sea." The sound of fist-pumping resounded through the sky.
Seeing them making fists, Wu Pang went over and asked, "Gentlemen, how does this hot pot taste?"
"His grandma's hot pot is very exciting. It's hot for me. I want to take off my clothes even in the winter." The boat boss said with a profanity-laced mouth and a breath of wine: "What kind of aphrodisiac are you putting in this hot pot? Tell me, the shopkeeper."
