Chapter 441 Peng Changping
Jiang Feng took another careful look at the crab-stuffed oranges in the pot.
[A serving of oranges was poorly selected. The orange peel was slightly thicker. The fragrant snow wine was slightly less. 2.7ml of crab roe was added. Slightly less crab roe. The frying time was slightly longer. A nearly perfect crab-stuffed orange]
[A serving of oranges was poorly selected. The orange peel was slightly thicker and 1.9ml less fragrant wine was added. The frying time was slightly longer and it was almost perfect. Crab-stuffed oranges]
[A serving of oranges was poorly selected, the orange peel was slightly thicker, the fragrant wine was added with 0.7ml more crab roe, and the frying time was slightly longer. A nearly perfect crab-stuffed orange]
"Master, here's the spoon," Ji Xia said.
Jiang Feng looked at Ji Xia, then at Zhou Shi, and silently handed the portion of crab-stuffed orange with more crab roe to Ji Xia, and the portion with less crab roe to Zhou Shi, keeping the best portion for himself.
"Try it." Jiang Feng said, signaling Ji Xia to hand the spoon to Zhou Shi.
Ji Xia has rich experience in eating crab-stuffed oranges. Jiang Feng has been making crab-stuffed oranges for so long that Wu Minqi is not willing to eat it, so her eldest aunt and Ji Xia support her. Fortunately, the eldest aunt has a big appetite, otherwise Jiang Feng would make so many crab-stuffed oranges a day that he would not know who to give them to.
It was Zhou Shi's first time to eat crab-stuffed oranges. He watched Ji Xia skillfully peel off the tops of oranges, then scooped up half a spoon and put it into his mouth.
The crab meat is less medium-sized and the orange meat is mixed, but the crab roe is missing.
Zhou Shi had said before that although he was a Shandong cuisine cook, his family preferred sweet and sour dishes. Zhou Shi grew up eating sweet and sour dishes since he was a child, which also led to the fact that as a cook now, he always cooks sweet and sour dishes better than other types of dishes.
Personal taste is difficult to change.
Although Crab Stuffed Orange is not a sweet and sour dish like sweet and sour pork loin or sweet and sour carp, the overall taste is also sour and sweet. Zhou Shi has a high impression in his heart. Jiang Feng was lucky enough to make A this time. Grade Crab Stuffed with Orange.
Needless to say, Zhou Shi was amazed when he tasted this dish for the first time.
There is a hurdle between Grade A and Grade B, and it is a hurdle that many chefs have to overcome throughout their lives.
Good crabs all have a fishy smell, and this fishy smell also contains a fishy aroma, which is the uniqueness of crabs. Crabs that are not fishy are not delicious, but crab meat with a fishy smell is difficult to eat.
There are many ways to remove the fishy smell of crab meat. Many spices and seasonings have the effect of removing the fishy smell, but crab meat cannot withstand the mixing of these seasonings. Most people eat hairy crabs directly in a pot and steam them, without adding any salt and only adding some vinegar. Sweet and fresh crab meat is inherently delicious, but adding too many condiments would make it unpalatable.
Zhou Shi's teeth began to chew unconsciously.
In fact, you don’t need to chew to eat crab-stuffed orange. The crab meat and orange meat are both soft and will spread in your mouth when you touch it with your tongue. Crab meat is brittle and orange meat is easy to scatter. The combination of the two makes the sweetness and sourness collide in the mouth. The sparks are also accompanied by bursts of wine aroma, which makes Zhou Shi can't help but want to chew, finer and deeper. Savor the flavor of this Crab Stuffed Orange.
Zhou Shi thought that Jiang Feng’s Stuffed Crab with Oranges was so delicious, and he deeply felt that he wanted to use a simple and novel recipe for cold sea cucumbers, and exchange it with Jiang Feng’s Stuffed Crab, which can be regarded as a signature dish in any restaurant. Cheng Cheng's approach took advantage of him, and he felt guilty for the first time.
Tai Feng Tower treated him well, but he thought about job-hopping and stealing teachers every day. If he didn't work hard, he wouldn't be able to create maximum value for the employer.
Ji Xia, who was next to Zhou Shi, didn't have as much inner drama as him. He was just surprised that the master's crab-stuffed oranges were so delicious this time. She originally just wanted to have another after eating. If she was full when eating, she would not even want to eat more after eating.
This time, for the first time, Ji Xia had the idea that she would eat ten.
Eat ten!
Not to mention ten of these delicious crab-stuffed oranges, even a hundred, she might be able to eat them if she worked hard!
A few minutes later, the three of them finished their crab-stuffed oranges.
It only takes a few bites to eat a small orange with a spoon. If Wang Xiulian and Jiang Jiankang were to eat it, as long as the spoons were big enough, they would be able to finish it within three spoons.
"Master, when can I make crab-stuffed oranges that are as delicious as your crab-stuffed oranges?" Ji Xia said while using a spoon to scoop out the crab meat and orange meat inside the oranges, not letting go at all.
Jiang Feng originally wanted to say ten years later, but then he thought that he couldn't dampen his apprentice's enthusiasm for learning to cook. Even if he was telling the truth, he had to say it tactfully: "Just wait until your cooking skills reach the master's level. On weekdays, there will be more Practice, especially knife skills. It’s getting late, it’s time to cook for Dahua, be careful when cutting, and make more cuts.”
Ji Xia nodded with high spirits: "I will, Master!"
"Good apprentice!" Jiang Feng said with approval.
After cheating Ji Xia away, Jiang Feng looked at Zhou Shi again and saw that he was still reminiscing about the taste of crab stuffed with orange. He felt that if he didn't show off at the right time, he would be sorry for the crabs he picked these days.
It was too difficult for Jiang Feng to find an opportunity to show off. He couldn't show off in front of his wife, there was no chance to show off in front of the Jiang family, and Zhang Guanghang couldn't find any chance to show off. Originally, there was Sun Jikai who could act cool in front of him occasionally, but it didn't take long for him to go back and inherit the family property.
"How about it? Does the stewed crab-stuffed orange taste good?" Jiang Feng had an indifferent and carefree smile on his face.
"Not only is it okay, but if this crab-stuffed orange is just okay, then the dishes I cooked can only be called pig food." Zhou Shi smiled bitterly. Thinking about it now, he was still trying to get there when he first applied for the job. To be the chef of this restaurant is so disrespectful.
Anyone who can open a high-end restaurant in Beiping City, even if he is from outside, doesn't have a lot of skills.
It’s just that there are too many talented people in this store.
Jiang Feng:...
To be honest, our Jiang family’s definition of pig food is beyond your imagination.
"It's just good luck today and it worked super well. In the past, when I made it, it wasn't as delicious. I was a little surprised when I ate it just now. It's just luck." Jiang Feng spoke the truth modestly.
"You're being humble, little boss. Luck comes from everything in cooking. It comes from strength. Without that ability, no matter how lucky you are, you won't be able to make such delicious food." Zhou Shi said.
Jiang Feng didn't expect Zhou Shi, who usually doesn't talk, to be so expert at blowing rainbow farts. This rainbow fart was so refreshing. No wonder the old man likes his aunt so much. A good rainbow fart is really lovable.
It's a pity that such technical professionals only want to resign after receiving the year-end bonus.
"By the way, you haven't finished what you just said. What's wrong with being number one on the celebrity chef list?" After pretending, Jiang Feng wanted to eat the unfinished melon.
"Oh, yes. Over the past ten years or so of the Celebrity Chefs List, the top ten have often fluctuated. Either because the masters have passed away in old age, or there are rising stars who have come on top, but the number one has never changed. , it has always been Master Peng Changping." Zhou Shi said.
"Master Peng Changping, is that the successor of Tan's cuisine?" Jiang Feng was shocked. He had never cared about the celebrity chef list because he couldn't get into it, but he knew Peng Changping, that was Cao Guixiang's senior brother.
"It turns out, little boss, you also know Master Peng. Master Peng was originally a chef in Yongheju. Later, he went to the United States because his son settled in the United States and opened a restaurant. He has been away from the country for many years and many people who don't follow celebrity chef lists don't know him. I heard that I came back more than ten years ago, but now I am older I haven't been back to China since I couldn't bear the travel," Zhou Shi said, looking at his expression, he obviously admired Peng Changping, "Master Peng can be regarded as the number one person in Chinese cuisine. He has been at the top of the celebrity chef list for so many years. If you are lucky enough to meet him once, you will have no regrets in this life.”
Judging from his expression, he looks like a star-chasing girl.
"Does Master Peng have other junior brothers and sisters?" Jiang Feng asked tentatively.
"There is a junior fellow student named Qin Guisheng, who is also an extremely powerful heir to Tan's cuisine. He is also in the United States now and is ranked 27th on the list of famous chefs. There seems to be another junior sister who may not be famous because she stopped working as a chef. " Zhou Shi said.
Even Peng Changping's fan Zhou Shi didn't know about Cao Guixiang, and Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel a little regretful. According to what he saw in his memory, Cao Guixiang's talent in cooking was definitely better than Qin Guisheng's. If he were still alive, he might be ranked ahead of Qin Guisheng in the list of famous chefs, and it would be possible to squeeze into the top ten.
It's a pity that she chose love and family, and became an ordinary housewife. She is also a master of Tan's cuisine, but she is not known to outsiders.
"Master Peng is so old. If you want to see him, you may have to find time to stay on the other side of the ocean." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"Yes." Zhou Shi looked regretful, "If I could know Master Peng's address, I would definitely go to the other side of the ocean to visit him. Unfortunately, I don't have that ability."
In the world of chefs, chasing stars also requires money.
"Come on, we might see you someday." Jiang Feng comforted.
How could I, a dedicated (cross out) and hard-working (cross out) author like me, take two days off tomorrow and the next two days and run away after breaking the chapter?
