Chapter 281 New Skill, Silver Chopsticks Return Ten Pots
At night, there are stars.
Like countless sparkling diamonds, scattered in the deep night.
Erina's originally rosy face gradually became slightly rosy after a few glasses of wine, as if peach blossoms were blooming on her cheeks in early spring.
Those clear and bright eyes began to be covered with a thin layer of mist at this moment, looming.
Um!
The magic of alcohol.
In her body, it was shown so vividly.
Erina also tried to cover up her discomfort with a smile, but the smile seemed pale and weak!
Eventually, she had to give in to alcohol and admit that she was "drunk."
…
"Ding dong!"
"The host successfully signed in once."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations to the host for getting a new rice cooker for kitchen equipment, 10 snapper ingredients, 1000g of tofu, a first-grade tofu recipe, and a special skill of silver chopsticks for ten pots."
Then, the system's voice appeared again, and this time the sign-in reward was somewhat beyond Zhang Fan's expectations.
The rice cooker obtained is different from the rice cookers on the market outside. It has a diamond energy-containing inner pot with added diamond ingredients.
This makes the inner tank harder and more durable.
At the same time, the inner layer of the inner tank is also equipped with a medical stone-type coating, which is non-stick and easy to clean.
Whether you are cooking or cooking, it is not easy to stick to the pot, and it is easy and convenient to clean after use.
The inner bag also has a thoughtful handle.
Insulated and anti-scalding, easy to take out.
They are also very attentive to product details and thoughtful functions, such as:
Its removable stainless steel upper cover can be removed for cleaning.
In this way, the stains in the gaps can be easily cleaned, making it cleaner and more hygienic. Finally, the built-in water box can collect excess water vapor to prevent water from soaking in the rice, ensuring that the rice tastes better!
"Oh, it's just cooking, and it's so high-tech."
After learning about the many functions of this rice cooker, Zhang Fan could only smile with joy.
…
Shandong cuisine, it should be said, is the cuisine with the longest history.
Influenced by the culture of Qilu, the place where it was born, Shandong cuisine attaches great importance to fineness, health, and nature. It is also in line with Confucius's dietary concept of "you will never tire of fine food, and you will never tire of fine food"!
To put it nicely, it means attention to detail.
But on the other hand, it means that there are many processes and the process is complicated.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Most Shandong cuisine combines complicated cooking methods such as "steaming, boiling, roasting, stuffing, frying, stir-frying, boiling, cooking and frying".
Even the handling requirements for ingredients are the same as Cantonese cuisine, which requires delicateness!
thus.
Shandong cuisine often requires chefs to master higher skills.
And this is the reason why many Shandong dishes can only appear in high-end banquets and are no longer home-cooked.
And among so many Shandong dishes, Yipin Tofu is definitely a representative work.
According to the traditional and more authentic method, the tofu must be peeled, and the stuffing must be minced with dried mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, ham, dried scallops, dried sea cucumbers, lean pork fat, and fresh shrimps.
Then the tofu is hollowed out and filled with it, then covered with tofu and steamed until cooked. Another pot is made to make the soup to thicken it, and finally it is garnished with blanched green vegetables.
Just looking at Fatiqi, I think most people will find it particularly troublesome.
Therefore, many people are reluctant to cook this dish!
Not only is the process complicated, but also because the ingredients are numerous and complicated, it is completely inconsistent with the concept of simplicity in home cooking.
Although according to the current scale and various decoration styles, this izakaya is quite high-end. But Zhang Fan's marketing route has always been based on home-cooked dishes.
Well, it is not ruled out that sometimes, particularly expensive ingredients will be used to make high-end and gorgeous dishes.
Therefore, this first-grade tofu, which is incompatible with ordinary people, is more or less meaningful in Zhang Fan's eyes.
After all.
Still can’t do without a commonplace topic:
If an izakaya wants to develop more sustainably, the necessary prerequisite is to have a steady stream of new dishes and recipes!
…
Finally, the ten pots of silver chopsticks were returned.
In the original work of "The Little Master of China", Zhu Qi, who belongs to the dark cooking world, has a unique skill.
As one of the Five Tigers, Zhu Qi is also a young Mongolian chef who was adopted by Kaiyou because his parents died early.
Every time he makes food and cooks ingredients, he often uses a pair of long silver chopsticks, and his cooking techniques are even more gorgeous. At the same time, coupled with his super sense of smell, it makes him handle the dishes like a duck in water!
"I didn't expect that I would actually acquire such cooking skills!"
He learned that he had unintentionally signed in to the system, and as a result, he had unexpectedly obtained the skill of making a fortune with ten pots of silver chopsticks.
At this moment, Zhang Fan was inevitably excited.
To know.
Just various cooking techniques.
Such as: stir-frying, stir-frying, frying, deep-frying, boiling, pan-frying, boiling, roasting, stewing, boiling, etc. are enough for any chef to learn for a lifetime.
Not to mention, the most basic tasks of sizing, battering, flouring, stirring, kneading, and ramen...
Therefore, the "silver chopsticks return ten pots" can improve the efficiency of cooking.
It is the most powerful tool for all chefs!
"I remember that the silver chopsticks can be used to cook ten dishes at the same time. Facing the booming business of izakayas, this skill may solve many problems."
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't hide his inner excitement and laughed!
Thinking about the rewards he received today, including the brand new smart rice cooker, first-grade tofu and the new special skill Silver Chopsticks, these things will undoubtedly improve his cooking skills "qualitatively"!
…
the next day.
At noon, Erina finally woke up.
When she walked out with her head in one hand, Zhang Fan and Alice were having lunch.
"Oh, I...I feel like I've been sleeping for a long time?"
Erina frowned, rubbed her temples, and then sat weakly next to Zhang Fan.
Although she had woken up, she still seemed to have a few heavy stones in her head. She sat weakly on the sofa, and her head seemed to have a few stones in her head, making a rattling sound.
"Erina, are you...are you okay?"
Alice stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's okay. It seems that my ability to drink is really bad. I just drank a little and I felt dizzy!"
Erina looked listless and spoke very weakly.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel a little guilty, because he didn't know that he had the God's Tongue to get Erina, and he was not good at drinking.
So, thinking of this, he hurried over.
First, he pulled away Erina's hand, then rubbed his own hand a little twice and pressed it on her temple.
Immediately, Erina felt that the pain in her head was relieved a lot. She half-closed her eyes and began to lean forward unconsciously. Her head was buried in Zhang Fan's belly, and she was reluctant to move any more. !
…
At 7pm, the izakaya opens.
The first diner tonight is a girl with blue double braids.
"Tasokoro?"
Zhang Fan glanced at it for a moment, and then couldn't help but be surprised.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, good evening... have a good evening!"
Tian Suohui came back to her senses and hurriedly said to Zhang Fan. Then her face turned red with embarrassment and she froze on the spot, not quickly finding a place to sit down.
"What are you doing standing there all the time? Why don't you just find a seat and sit down!"
Zhang Fan said with a smile.
"oh."
Finally, in panic and desperation, Tadokoro found a place to sit down.
In fact, from the moment he looked up and saw her for the first time, Zhang Fan had already realized that Tian Suohui was worried tonight, because she never had the usual smile on her face!
Some are just frowning.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask: "From the moment you came in, you looked very depressed!"
"Shopkeeper Zhang, our Jixing dormitory has been destroyed."
A simple sentence made Tian Suohui's face full of sadness. If possible, she really wanted to cry loudly to vent her emotions.
But her pitiful eyes and timid temperament always make people feel affection for her.
I wish I could hold her in my arms and cherish her.
…
"Huh? The Jiexing dormitory was destroyed?"
Zhang Fan frowned slightly when he heard this. It seemed that Yise Hui failed to defeat the members of the Central Food Agency after all.
"Yes, and the promotion exam will be held soon."
"This promotion exam is different from the previous ones. You only need to review the lessons learned in class again!"
"But even so, I may still not be able to pass the promotion exam smoothly."
Listening carefully, the tone is still full of disappointment. After all, things have come to this, and even Isshiki Kei, Kuga Teruki, Shiomi Jun and others have been forced into desperation.
She is a girl, facing this situation.
Um!
What can be done?
"Tasori Megumi, I just developed a brand new dish, do you want to try it?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan asked with a smile.
"good!"
Tian Suo Hui was stunned for a moment.
She thought Zhang Fan would be as reasonable as before and comfort her, but she didn't expect that Zhang Fan would actually ask her to order a meal here.
But it’s right to think about it. You have to deal with and face your own troubles by yourself.
Others have no obligation at all to share the burden for you!
…
It seems that Tasokoro has not been here for a while.
Perhaps it was because of the recent changes in Totsuki Academy that she had been running around for the past few days and had no time to come to the izakaya!
However, in the eyes of Tian Moshi, this izakaya has not changed much.
Business is still so good.
The guests are still so enthusiastic.
The atmosphere is still so warm and peaceful.
Of course, the one thing that has changed is that Erina and Alice, the two eldest ladies of the Nakiri family, seem to be living together in an izakaya again!
The traditional preparation method of Yipin tofu is:
Tofu is made with high-end ingredients, wrapped in fresh tofu skin, steamed, and topped with marinade.
So prepare the ingredients first, including tofu, dried mushrooms, water chestnuts, winter bamboo shoots, ham, dried scallops, dried sea cucumbers, pork fat and lean meat, and fresh shrimps.
Then peel the tofu slices, put them together as a cover, make a hole in the middle, fill in the filling, and cover it.
Place elbow slices around and put in casserole.
Add the stock and seasonings, simmer over low heat for half an hour and pour into the bowl.
Beat the cornstarch and roll it evenly into the egg liquid, then stick a layer of cornstarch on it.
Place the casserole on a clay pot and heat it over high heat. Add oil into the pot. When it is 60% hot, add the tofu cubes and fry over low heat until golden in color. Remove the tofu cubes.
When the oil temperature rises to 80% hot, fry the tofu cubes again for half a minute until the shell becomes hard.
Then leave the base oil in the pot and when it is 50% hot, add minced garlic and dried chili shreds and saute until fragrant.
Then add abalone and stock, bring to a boil over high heat, and season with salt, sugar, and white wine.
Finally, put the tofu cubes back in, cook over high heat for half a minute, take it out of the pot and put it into a hot casserole lined with shredded onions, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve!
In this way, the first-grade tofu is completed!
…
"Huh?"
"The new cuisine seems to be the first-grade tofu from Tianchao?"
Looking at the tofu carefully, I saw a few delicate square pieces of tofu sitting upright in the bowl. The crispy skin made the tofu look like it was wearing a golden costume.
Under the light, it feels even more sparkling!
at the same time.
Those scattered green scallions on the outer skin.
Like a group of elves standing on a golden wheat field, people can't bear to destroy it.
"Wow, it looks so appetizing!"
Blinking his eyes, Tasoko couldn't help but cover his mouth and said in surprise.
In fact, tofu is a very common food, not very elegant!
However, the tofu in each region has its own characteristics. For example, Xiba tofu is derived from the underground spring water flowing from the Jiaelao Canyon, called Liangshuijing. The clear and sweet well water is combined with locally produced small soybeans. The bluestone is ground and polished.
The made tofu is fragrant, tender, smooth and tough, and will not break or break no matter it is steamed, fried or fried.
now.
Tadokoro, who couldn't help but take a small bite, fell into deep thought.
Gradually, she seemed a little confused.
But more than anything, it was shock and disbelief!
Then, before she could continue to use her chopsticks to take a second bite, the remaining taste in her mouth immediately rushed back, putting her into a whole new realm in an instant.
She closed her eyes and began to savor the taste of first-grade tofu.
Afterwards, Tadokoro seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but murmur to herself: "I see, the way this tofu is made is obviously different from ordinary tofu dishes."
"The first is to use crucian carp brains mixed with old chicken soup for seasoning. This technique is unconventional and innovative, and the vegetarian dishes have the taste of meat dishes."
"Second, a lot of oil is used in the cooking process, but the oil does not steam on the surface, but it is very hot, which explains the Chinese saying that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"
"In the end, the whole dish is made with fine workmanship and is tender and moist."
"The smooth and delicious tofu cubes, combined with various ingredients, taste even more delicious, oily but not greasy."
“And it leaves a fragrant taste in your mouth after you eat it, with endless aftertaste!”
"Huh? Wait, this... what on earth is this?"
The next moment, Tadokoro opened her eyes quickly, with disbelief written on her face.
