"I've killed chickens, ducks, and fish before. I even helped to kill pigs before. Therefore, when I'm cooking, I have a feeling of looking at the big picture. I can't really describe it, but it's more convenient."
Yuan Zhou paused for a while and explained, "So I feel that I have to cook the lamb by myself for at least a few times to know where each piece of meat and each bone is."
In order to make a better roast lamb, there was another sentence that Yuan Zhou didn't say in his heart. After all, Zaima Banquet was a lost dish.
The system displayed, "Although you're just an intermediate chef and can only cook one complete Sichuan Cuisine, you can indeed be called a good chef."
Yuan Zhou said, "Actually, when you praise someone, you can remove the adjectives in front."
The system displayed, "What the system said is the truth."
"You will be beaten to death if you praise someone like this." Yuan Zhou didn't feel anything and started to do his own things.
Just the operation and the utensils for the roast lamb made Yuan Zhou study them for several minutes. If he wasn't smart and quick-witted, he didn't know how much time he would have wasted.
"It's totally different from the traditional way of fixing the roast rack with four limbs." Yuan Zhou familiarized himself with everything in the basement.
He cut the lamb into three parts and roasted one of them first. The system provided three kinds of firewood. Yuan Zhou intended to try them separately to see which one tasted better.
"If I get more pieces of Zaima Banquet in the future, I can cook them here. But if I want to roast the whole cow, this place is still not enough."
The reason why Yuan Zhou suddenly talked so much was that he wanted to divert attention. In terms of the amount of work, it was more suitable for three people to take care of the lamb. However, Yuan Zhou was only one person.
Therefore, most of the time, he was busy running errands.
The lamb needed a little acid to make the meat firmer. But in fact, it was not recommended to eat lamb with vinegar. The two were food with different natures. If they were eaten together, it would easily change the natures of the food.
Therefore, the ancients thought of another way, which was to use fruit acid. That was why Yuan Zhou added a little hawthorn and smeared it perfectly during the first pickling.
"No matter how many exquisite recipes I've seen, every time I see a dish like this, I can't help but sigh … Are people smart enough to study how to eat it?"
After marinating for half an hour, Yuan Zhou took out the mutton and started to cold smoke it.
Smoking was a common cooking method in China. Yuan Zhou had used it when he was making smoked meat, but this was the first time he used cold smoking.
Simply put, 0 ~ 30 ℃ was cold smoking, 30 ~ 50 ℃ was warm smoking, 50 ~ 80 ℃ was hot smoking, and above 80 ℃ was baking.
The above was the distribution in Japan. In fact, it was not so complicated in China. At most, it was the difference between cold smoking and baking.
The reason why he used this technique when roasting the whole lamb was naturally not to show off. The high temperature would destroy the nutritional value and taste of the lamb.
"Phew. Fortunately, I often exercise. Otherwise, this dish would be troublesome." Yuan Zhou knocked on his waist and finished cooking step by step.
"It's too tiring for one person to finish a whole roast lamb. Therefore, I can only make one a month. Moreover, the quantity … needs 10 people to be able to eat it."
After returning to the first floor, Yuan Zhou secretly changed the menu and even called the two chairmen, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan, to invite them.
Yuan Zhou had always felt that it was a good quality to repay favors. It was a very common thing, but perhaps because there were too many ungrateful people, it became a compliment.
If the two chairmen hadn't sheltered Yuanzhou shop from the wind and rain, the restaurant would never be so peaceful. Therefore, he decided to invite the two chairmen to eat the legendary Zhuoma Banquet.
He believed that even the two chairmen, who had seen much of the world, would be astonished.
In the early morning of the next day.
As one got older, he slept less. Zhou Shijie got up very early. After breakfast, he had already started to review the examination form sent by Zhong Lili.
In the entire association, Zhou Shijie always came the earliest. It was also this action that made many staff feel tormented. Even the boss came so early. As an employee, why didn't he come earlier?
"The application for holding a city-level chef competition called Yuan Zhou Master Chef Competition is rejected." Zhou Shijie knitted his brows.
It was illegal to hold a private event without reporting. Therefore, the Chef's Association was naturally responsible for the review. As Yuan Zhou became the representative of Sichuan Cuisine, there were already many people who wanted to take advantage of the loophole to gain fame.
"In the future, reject all applications without seeking Yuan's opinion," Zhou Shijie said to his subordinates.
Just when he was talking about Yuan Zhou, Yuan Zhou's phone call came.
"Treat me to food."
"What new dishes have you developed?"
"It's a lost dish. What lost dish?"
Hearing the word "lost", Zhou Shijie's interest soared. Especially when he heard it was Zhuma Banquet, his whole attitude was no less than winning five million yuan.
Compared with Three Fragrance to the Sea, the former was only recorded in a small ancient book, but Zhuma Banquet was known as one of the top ten banquets in China.
"Okay, okay, okay. I will definitely come at noon."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shijie was very excited. He walked back and forth in the office. Originally, they had agreed to meet at noon, but he couldn't wait anymore.
He packed up and prepared to go to Yuanzhou shop. Without a doubt, it was still breakfast time in Yuanzhou shop.
There were especially many diners this morning. The reason was obvious. When they saw Yuan Zhou's closed door open, it was really like seeing a family member.
"Finally, you are here. Fortunately, I didn't give up!"
"Fortunately, Boss Yuan didn't stand me up today. I didn't have breakfast yesterday. I feel that everything is not going well."
"Ding Dong, the good mood starts from Boss Yuan's breakfast."
"What is Boss Yuan's breakfast today?"
"Plain porridge and vegetarian cold noodles," Yuan Zhou said.
Generally speaking, Yuanzhou shop would provide one type of food in the morning. It was quite rare to have two types today.
Cold noodles were also divided into meat and vegetarian cold noodles. Bean sprouts, cucumbers, shredded kelp, or shredded carrots were vegetarian cold noodles.
Previously, Yuan Zhou had made chicken cold noodles, which were meat cold noodles. There was also pork cold noodles, which he had never made before.
Yuan Zhou had always believed that meat cold noodles could be eaten alone, but vegetarian cold noodles must be accompanied with porridge. This was his belief.
"A bowl of porridge and a bowl of cold noodles," his friend ordered immediately.
Yuan Zhou nodded. The cold noodles were all made by him in the morning. He used chopsticks to boil the bean sprouts, add raw cucumber shreds, red carrot shreds, and orange cold noodles. Finally, he sprinkled salt, vinegar, sugar, and ginger and garlic water on top.
He added light soy sauce, pepper oil, pepper powder, and chili oil to taste. These were all the basics. The cold noodles only needed to be seasoned.
The only difference was that Yuan Zhou would add two drops of mustard oil to enhance the taste.
The amount of each seasoning had to be precisely controlled. The ginger and garlic water couldn't be too much, otherwise, it would steal the flavor.
Finally, he smashed the peanut kernels with a knife. He picked up a handful of peanuts with the tip of the knife and scattered them on the cold noodles.
The cold noodles looked, smelled, and looked good together with the thick plain porridge. This enjoyment …
