Chapter 867 Good Food
After re-determining the final menu, they will start practicing. The time left for Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai is very short. In theory, there are more than thirty hours. Excluding the necessary rest, meal and travel time, they can really prepare only a dozen Hour.
One game at a time.
On Friday, Jiang Feng, Sun Maocai, Sun Jikai and Wu Minqi did not go to work. Instead, they asked Zhang Guanghang to borrow the key to Fenyuan and used Fenyuan's large kitchen with complete kitchen utensils for a real pre-match simulation.
The ingredients in Fenyuan's kitchen are still complete. Jiang Feng also took some needed fresh seafood from Tai Feng Building to Fenyuan.
Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai are the main cooks, and Sun Jikai can help Sun Maocai with the seafood. Help with the sea cucumber and abalone soup when necessary. At Sun Maocai's age, staring at a pot of soup for seven hours is quite a physical burden.
Wu Minqi's life is much easier. There is no step in making Jiang's ginseng soup from making the soup stock that she needs to intervene in. If Jiang Feng wants to make a truly perfect Jiang's ginseng soup, he must be responsible for the entire process from beginning to end, including the ingredients. . He is young, energetic, and energetic, and can handle even working for twelve hours straight.
What Wu Minqi needs is to help Jiang Feng prepare the ingredients that will not be used in the competition. Her job is similar to Roland's.
The main purpose of this pre-match sprint was to see if Sun Maocai could make a pot of high-quality sea cucumber and abalone soup within the specified time. Wu Minqi and Sun Jikai didn't know in advance that Sun Maocai was a temporary replacement, and they thought it was Sun Maocai who had discussed with Jiang Feng in advance to assist Jiang Feng. They hid it from them just because there was no need to discuss it with them.
Everything started smoothly until the making of sea cucumber and abalone soup entered the middle section.
That is to say, ingredients are frequently added to change the heat, and the section needs to be changed every once in a while.
After all, it was Sun Maocai's first time doing it and he couldn't remember some steps.
Jiang Feng wrote him a note recording the steps in detail. Sun Maocai also practiced the note many times in his mind last night, but the steps were too complicated and he did not practice them in practice. There is still a small error in the header.
The order was wrong. Jiang Feng had to be sharp-eyed and always pay attention to what was going on next door, otherwise the pot of soup would have been ruined.
"Master Sun, you're wrong, you're wrong! You shouldn't add the Yao Zhu in this step. The Yao Zhu is added in the next step. You did it the other way around." Seeing Sun Maocai about to add the Yao Zhu to the soup, Jiang Feng shouted loudly. .
Sun Maocai was stunned. At least he didn't shake the Yao Zhu in his hands. He thought for seven or eight seconds before he realized: "Oh, yes, it's the other way around. Xiao Kai, bring me the small bowl at the edge. I should add this one." .”
Sun Jikai:?
Wu Minqi who is making soy sauce:?
The two looked at each other, and they could see confusion and shock in each other's eyes.
"Master Sun, this shouldn't be your first time making this soup, right?" Wu Minqi looked incredulous.
"Yes, this dish was temporarily changed last night. There was something wrong with the menu ingredients I originally selected. Isn't the show going to be broadcast live? It may have an impact on the live broadcast, so it has to be changed." Sun Maocai seemed very calm, even though He had just nearly ruined a pot of precious soup that had been cooking for two hours.
Wu Minqi:......
Wu Minqi couldn't understand why something so scary, so shocking, and something that could directly affect the outcome of the game could be said in such a calm tone. Her family Fengfeng didn't have any special reaction either. The most important thing is that she and Sun Jikai didn't know until the dishes were changed, and there was a competition the next day.
Wu Minqi was stunned.
She felt that she had experienced strong winds and waves, and she had never made a fuss about too many things since she was a child. However, today's matter was indeed a bit beyond her tolerance and knowledge range. This question was seriously beyond the scope.
Wu Minqi was confused, and Sun Jikai continued her previous question.
"Then, this soup..."
"Actually, Master Sun called me up last night just to discuss with me which dish to change to. Although there were some options, we both felt that none of them were good enough. After all, our opponent, Chef Arnold, according to Chef Arnold's last reaction, the two dishes he prepared must be very good and even It’s a unique trump card. Ordinary dishes are really incomparable.” Jiang Feng began to explain, “So after discussing it, we felt that my dish was better. It was new and unique. No one had ever seen it or even heard of it. It’s very advantageous to compete.”
Sun Maocai nodded: "The most outstanding cabbage dish has always been boiled cabbage. If we can make a dish that is not inferior to boiled cabbage in the competition, or stir-fry golden cabbage that looks no different from ordinary fried cabbage, then we will be better in the competition." The advantage will be huge." Sun Maocai nodded in agreement.
"But you haven't done it before." Sun Jikai said that he understood the truth, but he really couldn't understand why Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai were so courageous. Is this the strength of the top ten celebrity chefs?
I dare to take out dishes that I have never cooked before and use them in the finals.
"You may not think that the steps for this soup are complicated, but as you saw just now, there is no difficulty and it is simpler than ordinary soup stock. The mistake I made just now was because I was not familiar with the steps. I will go back and go through it again tonight. If it is really If not, just make a cheat sheet and bring it to the scene. , This kind of mistake will definitely not happen during the competition. Hey, Xiao Kai, bring me that red plate." Sun Maocai explained while remembering the soup stock correctly, and proved with practical actions what this soup is. It's really not that difficult for him.
At this time, Wu Minqi had almost recovered. At first, she thought that this golden cabbage, which she had never heard of before, was Sun Maocai's special dish. However, it turned out that this dish was actually Jiang Feng's special dish. It was also a dish that she, Jiang Feng's girlfriend, wanted to talk about. It’s a special dish that I haven’t heard of if I’ve been in a relationship for more than a year.
Wu Minqi only found it unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable and appalling.
"Fengfeng." Wu Minqi looked at Jiang Feng, "But I have never seen you make this golden cabbage, nor have I heard of it."
"It's normal, because I haven't done it before." Jiang Feng said.
Wu Minqi:?
Sun Jikai:?
Sun Maocai:?
At this time, even Sun Maocai had a question mark on his face. He thought that Jiang Feng thought of this dish for the first time last night, which meant that this dish was Jiang Feng's very confident secret. However, Jiang Feng told him that it was also his first time. Do it all at once.
Sun Maocai began to wonder if he trusted Jiang Feng too much.
Seeing that everyone had question marks written on their faces, Jiang Feng quickly explained: "Although I have never cooked it and you have never heard of it, I can guarantee the taste of this dish. Because this dish is... I don't know, maybe it is My great-grandfather’s homemade dish only appears at the Jiang family’s New Year’s Eve dinner. It’s normal if you haven’t seen it or heard of it, but it’s abnormal if you have seen it.”
Everyone was relieved to hear Jiang Feng say this, and Wu Minqi asked smoothly: "Why does Grandpa Jiang only cook it during the New Year's Eve dinner?"
"My grandpa doesn't know how to do it either," Jiang Feng said.
Three people:?
"Theoretically, my great-grandfather and great-aunt can cook it. The method was also told to me by my great-aunt when he was still here. There will be no problem." Jiang Feng explained that he also had to give this dish a Come up with an explanation from the beginning, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to the old man and the third grandpa when the time comes.
The expressions on the faces of Wu Minqi, Sun Jikai and Sun Maocai clearly told Jiang Feng that they felt something was wrong.
Since no one believed it, Jiang Feng could only say that the final product would prove to everyone that Golden Jade Cabbage is really a very trustworthy dish that is also very suitable for competitions.
"The sea cucumber and abalone soup will be ready in a few hours. When the soup is ready, I will make the golden cabbage. You will know if it is OK after you taste it. If not, it is not impossible for us to change to other dishes. There are many temporary options, so it's not a bad idea to change dishes temporarily, right?" Jiang Feng said helplessly.
"Thank you for telling us now." Sun Maocai breathed a sigh of relief. "If you tell us these words again during the game tomorrow, you will really test my psychological quality and heart's endurance."
Sun Maocai didn't forget to make a joke at this time to lighten the atmosphere.
Of course Wu Minqi believed in Jiang Feng. If she had to choose one person to trust unconditionally among these people, it would definitely be Jiang Feng. She just simply didn't understand.
"Fengfeng, you have never tasted or cooked it, how dare you conclude that this must be a good dish?"
"It must be." Jiang Feng said with certainty, "Qiqi, you have to believe that all the dishes that my great-great-grandfather spends time and effort in cooking must be good dishes." (End of Chapter)
