Chapter 559: Weak, pitiful and helpless but wants to eat (4000 words)
Making antler is only the first step in making chicken bean curd, and it is also the only step that Jiang Weiming is willing to let Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi do. Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi didn't have the opportunity to take the next steps in person, so they could only stand and watch.
"Actually, you young people are more suitable for making this kind of golden food." Jiang Weiming smiled while stirring the egg whites in the bowl. "You are strong and fast, and you can make chicken minced meat quickly and well. Unlike me, just light If you want to pick a muscle, you have to squint for more than half an hour.”
"Third Grandpa, how about I help you stir the egg whites." Jiang Feng felt that he could still do the task of stirring the egg whites.
Jiang Weiming shook his head and kept moving his hands: "The person who made the egg white must stir it himself, and cannot be replaced by others. When the bowl is full of foam and the density of the foam reaches a certain amount, then mix it with Mix chicken mince. This will make the chicken mince fluffy and have the feeling of tofu in your mouth. ”
"I feel like you all know this kind of thing. You can't explain it clearly. You can only judge by yourself. If you do it a lot, you will know the approximate amount. Others will never be able to tell it."
Jiang Weiming kept stirring the egg whites in the bowl at a constant speed until the surface of the egg whites was completely covered with fine foam similar to beer foam, and the egg whites below were invisible. He stopped, and mixed a large amount of foam into the minced chicken.
At this step, the bean curd part of chickpea curd is basically completed.
Chickpea pudding is a kind of food that saves soup. Compared with the food that is usually stewed with clear soup, it is a little expert in saving soup. It is precisely because of this that after Jiang Weiming finished making so many portions of chickpea pudding yesterday, he still had some clear soup left over to make today.
Of course, the two giant-sized thermos cups he brought from Shanghai were indispensable for the remaining clear soup.
That was really the largest thermos cup Jiang Feng had ever seen in his life.
After the minced chicken is processed, all that's left is to cook it. There's not much else in Tai Feng House but there are many types of pots, bowls and pans. The big ones are very big, the small ones are very small, and there are all kinds of sizes you want in Tai Feng House. It’s all there.
Jiang Weiming divided the clear soup into five parts, heated four parts and boiled one part until it boiled slightly, and put the small pieces of chicken mince piece by piece into the soup pot that boiled until it boiled slightly. It only takes a few minutes to take it out after it solidifies, put it into a bowl separately and pour the heated clear soup over it. The chickpea pudding is now complete.
The small white porcelain bowl, the clear soup as clear as water, the white and fluffy surface without any pores or dents, and the chicken minced meat as smooth as fresh and tender tofu pudding, exactly the same as the chicken pudding that Jiang Feng had eaten yesterday.
"Don't underestimate this last step of cooking. The clear soup is heated to a slight boil, but there is no room for sloppiness as to how much it boils, when the small pieces of chicken mince slide in and when they solidify and when they are taken out. Just do it with a little distraction. It won't have such an effect." Jiang Weiming said. After thinking about it, he felt that his words were not convincing, so he took his only apprentice as an example.
"Take the chickpea pudding that Hygiene originally made. I completed all the previous steps. He was only responsible for the final cooking step, but he just couldn't cook it to such an effect. Although the solidified chicken minced meat looked like It looks like bean curd but it doesn’t feel like bean curd, which can be distinguished with the naked eye. ”
"Chickpea pudding is a dish in which both color and taste are very important. To some extent, its color is much greater than taste. It is different from boiled cabbage, which emphasizes the freshness of boiled cabbage cooked in clear soup. But chickpea pudding The real attraction is that it can confuse the real with the fake. Visually deceiving diners, chickpea pudding is far less delicious than boiled cabbage, but it is the way the chicken is made into tofu pudding with vegetarian meat, and the sense of surprise obtained through the contrast between vision and taste, that is the chicken. The soul of Douhua." Jiang Weiming said.
"Okay, let's serve the dishes to the guests first. The guests may be impatient after waiting for so long."
Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi, each with two bowls, carefully brought four bowls of chickpea pudding to the serving window.
Jiang Feng did not forget to remind his colleagues who were standing by the food passing window: "Remember to remind the waiter who is serving the food to be careful not to spill it. There are only 4 servings of this dish and we cannot make it. The ingredients are gone."
"Okay little boss!"
At the same time, Han Guishan was waiting a little impatiently in the box.
Mainly because he was hungry.
Because he had been looking forward to the opening of Tai Feng Building, Han Guishan deliberately controlled the amount of food he ate in the morning and noon. He ate less than usual and only had a bowl of white rice at noon.
The feeling of hunger surrounded him, making him want to eat more pickled vegetable dumplings.
"Waiter, please hurry up. We've been waiting for almost 20 minutes. Why hasn't a dish been served yet?" Han Guishan complained.
"Mr. Han, Mr. Xu just said to serve the chickpea pudding first. If you want to serve other dishes first, I will go to the kitchen to remind you and they will be served to you soon." The waiter looked apologetic.
"Did you tell him to serve the chickpea pudding first?" Han Guishan felt like he was so hungry that he lost his memory. Why didn't he remember this part at all?
"I told him when you went to the toilet." Xu Cheng drank tea leisurely.
"Then waiter, please tell the kitchen to serve other dishes first." Han Guishan said.
"No need to tell the waiter, the chickpea pudding will be served first. You can ask how long the chickpea pudding will be. No need to rush, just tell me the time." Xu Cheng said.
Han Guishan:?
Seeing Han Guishan looking at him with confusion, Wang Jinghe wasted no time playing games on his mobile phone. Han Youxin also raised his head and looked at himself. Xu Cheng explained: "Other dishes are served. If you eat other dishes first, The taste in your mouth will change, and when the time comes to eat chickpeas, they will not be the most perfect chickpeas.”
“Besides, it’s better to eat this kind of delicious food first.”
Han Guishan:?
We are just having a meal and you treat it as a food review.
"That's not the case, isn't Lao Xu just a chicken bean curd? Why are you doing it like...with..." Han Guishan couldn't think of an adjective at once, "You didn't even pay attention to this when you were a judge last year."
"Different situations have different handling methods." Xu Cheng wiped his hands with a hot towel again.
"Honey, is Master Jiang's chickpea pudding so delicious?" Han Guishan turned to Wang Jing and asked Wang Jing. Wang Jing and Jiang Weiming worked in the same state-owned restaurant back then, and Han Guishan felt that Wang Jing should have eaten Jiang Weiming's chickpea pudding.
"I don't know. I've never eaten the chickpea pudding made by Master Jiang. Besides, I didn't work in a state-owned restaurant for long. I didn't work for more than a year before you deceived me into quitting my job to sell stuff. I was very good at that time. In my mother's position, Master Jiang was famous for his fish head with chopped pepper. The leaders came to check that what Master Jiang cooked was basically fish head with chopped pepper. I only knew that Master Jiang's fish head with chopped pepper was praised by foreign guests. "Wang Jing said.
"Actually, Master Jiang can cook a lot of dishes. I think there are a few dishes that are much more delicious than chopped pepper fish head. Maybe it's because chopped pepper fish head is famous. At that time, investors or leaders basically used chopped pepper fish head. Pepper fish head for dinner." Wang Jing said. I have some small regrets, "At that time, Master Jiang and Master Wu were so famous in our place. When talking about chefs, no one would mention them. Now the only famous ones are Master Wu, and few of them remember Master Jiang." .”
"It's okay, as long as you are famous now, isn't Lao Xu reviewing some famous chef directory? Once you are rated, you will be famous." Han Guishan comforted him.
"Don't mention this during meal time. I get a headache when I talk about it." Xu Cheng's face was full of resistance and despair towards work.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Han Guishan asked curiously.
"It's not just a review..."
"Hello, chickpea pudding, we will be serving the rest of the dishes soon. Do you want to serve the shredded yam last?" The waiter came in with two portions of chickpea pudding.
"Serve last." Xu Cheng said perfunctorily, staring directly at the two portions of chicken bean curd held by the waiter.
Confuse the real with the fake.
These four words are enough.
The waiter put the chickpea pudding on the table. Han Youxin looked up at the dish and found that there were two bowls of chickpea pudding without sugar. He immediately lost interest and then lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, not knowing what he had missed.
"Hey, this is quite similar. It looks like real bean curd." Han Guishan was surprised. He wanted to take out his mobile phone to take a picture and found that his mobile phone was in Han Youxin's hand. He took the mobile phone from Han Youxin and pointed it at the chicken. The bean flowers clicked and clicked, and I took several pictures in succession.
"Youxin, do you want to eat chickpea pudding?" Han Guishan asked his son first.
"No, dad, can I play with my phone again?" Han Youxin shook his head.
After Han Guishan sent the message to Moments, he handed the phone to Han Youxin: "Play for a while longer, but you can't play until other dishes are served. Have a good meal. Go back and finish your homework before you can get the phone from your mother. If your mother goes to have a beauty treatment, Just ask Aunt Hu to call your mother. You can only use your phone to play with your mother’s consent. You are not allowed to cheat, you know?”
"Oh."
"Lao Xu, I'll give you this bowl. My wife and I can share one bowl." Han Guishan brought over a bowl of chickpea puddings that was closer to him, scooped a few pieces into his own bowl, and put the one with clear soup in it. The bowl was handed to Wang Jing.
Xu Cheng has already eaten it.
I was so mesmerized that I felt like I could ride the wind back home in the next second and become an immortal.
Wang Jing took the bowl and took a sip of soup first. After finishing it, she was stunned. She took another sip of soup, and then took another sip of soup. She drank it in small sips. Within a few dozen seconds, there was only Wang Jing drank all the clear soup and even forgot to leave some for her son.
"Youxin, would you like some chickpea pudding?" After drinking the soup, Wang Jing finally remembered that she had a son, but she had completely forgotten that she had a husband.
Han Youxin was a little reluctant.
"Try it, it's delicious." Wang Jing advised. After all, he is his own son, and he always wants to leave good things to his son.
Han Youxin nodded. Han Guishan felt helpless before he tasted it: "If he doesn't want to eat, he won't eat. Why force him to eat."
Han Youxin had already stretched out his little hand to grab the spoon, scooped out half a spoonful of chicken bean curd from Wang Jing's bowl, opened his mouth and put it into his mouth.
There was almost no chewing action. Han Youxin just froze for a moment and swallowed it directly.
"Mom, I want to take another bite."
Wang Jing moved the bowl over.
Han Youxin took another bite, as if he had opened the door to a new world. When he turned 10 years old, he realized for the first time that although Tai Fung House had the grass dumplings he hated most, there was also something he had never tasted that was more delicious than chocolate bars, potato chips, wafer biscuits and cheesecake. bean curd.
Bean curd!
Although there is no added sugar, it is more delicious than all the bean curds, no, it is more delicious than all the edible things!
"Mom, I want to take another bite."
Just like that, Han Youxin and Wang Jing took one bite at a time, and soon the half bowl of chickpea pudding was gone.
Han Guishan, who witnessed all this:?
Han Guishan couldn't help but fall in love with the chicken bean curd without soup in the bowl, and realized that he might have underestimated Jiang Weiming's craftsmanship.
He has never seen his own son, who only likes snacks but not meals, look so happy and eager to eat proactively.
Han Guishan took a bite of chickpea pudding.
! ! !
Han Guishan was shocked and couldn't believe his tongue. He lowered his head and glanced at the chickpea pudding in the bowl.
It's chickpea pudding, and it's chickpea pudding without any soup.
But...how can it be so delicious?
There is actually better food in this world than pickled vegetable dumplings!
Just when Han Guishan was about to take his second bite and savor the beauty of the chickpea pudding in the bowl, he saw his son looking at him longingly.
Poor, weak and helpless but wanting to eat.
"Dad, I want to have another bite of bean curd." Han Youxin said pitifully.
Han Guishan:......
He really wanted to pretend that he was old and deaf, but unfortunately, he was not old enough yet.
Han Guishan found that Wang Jing was also looking at him.
Han Guishan sighed.
What can I do if my only biological son wants to eat? Everything is for the sake of the child.
"Han Youxin, some things must be agreed in advance. If you want to eat chickpeas, you can, but it depends on your performance. Go home today..."
"I must finish my homework before 8 o'clock!" Han Youxin learned to answer quickly.
"This weekend..."
"I will definitely go to the piano lessons, and I will definitely not cheat this time!"
Han Guishan gave up half of his chicken bean curd, and like Wang Jing, Han Youxin took a bite of it, and the two of them shared the meal.
After eating, Han Youxin was still unsatisfied: "Dad, can we order this bean curd next time?"
"It depends on whether the store has it. Youxin, as you know, many dishes in their store are not available every day." Han Guishan tried to explain to Han Youxin.
"Then let's come here to eat every day. As long as we come here every day, we will definitely have something one day!" Han Youxin felt that he had come up with a brilliant idea. This should be the smartest idea he had ever come up with since he was born.
Han Guishan:......
As expected of my son, he actually thought about me.
"No problem, dad will bring you here to eat every day from now on, and you will also come here to eat at noon!"
"Ahem." Wang Jing coughed twice.
"But it's definitely unreasonable to come to the same restaurant to eat every day. We can eat less, for example, five days a week and eat elsewhere on weekends." Han Guishan thought that Wang Jing did not agree with his proposal and quickly changed his mind.
"Since you have promised to do what you said, how can you go back on your word? You are still a father, but you did it in front of your son." Wang Jing looked serious, "Remember to call me when you eat in the future. You haven't done that in many years." I feel a little nostalgic after eating Master Jiang’s cooking.”
Just as Han Guishan's family was having a heated discussion about setting up Tai Feng Building as a canteen, Xu Cheng finally finished his portion of chickpea pudding and put down his spoon.
"Remember to inform me before eating in the future. We will eat at the same table and save the need to book two private rooms." Xu Cheng said.
Han Guishan:?
"And when I order from now on, I'll ask your assistant to order. Your hand speed is too slow." Xu Cheng looked disgusted.
Han Guishan:? ? ? (End of chapter)
