Chapter 1917: Beyond the chef and food critic
Translator: 549690339
“It’s ti today. I wonder what our family’s roasted golden bird looks like.”
Jin hai had already woken up quite early yesterday, but today, he had woken up even earlier. His heart was filled with anticipation.
Speaking of which, Jin hai was the only offspring of the Jin family. Ever since the ancient recipe of the roasted golden bird was blurred, it had never appeared in its complete form again. It had been hundreds of years since then, and as a mber of the Jin family, he was still a little ashad.
“It’s very difficult to recreate a dish. Head chef Yuan must have been working so hard for the past two days that he forgot to eat and sleep again. Sorry for disturbing you.” Jin hai was pacing left and right in the room.
During the past two days, Jin hai had not been idle. After digesting the advice given by Yuan Zhou on that day, he had been focusing on the cooking range of the green Chef society.
After the improved roasted whole pig was done, he invited Kang Hu, chef li, and chef du to try it.
Therefore, for the past two days, Kang Hu and the others had only been eating roasted whole pigs. They probably wouldn’t want to eat roasted whole pigs again in a short ti.
“It’s not without reason that he can beco the chef that the president has been looking forward to the most. Although there are obvious signs of improvent from the president’s guidance, being able to absorb it quickly is also a kind of ability.” Kang Hu felt that as the most anticipated chef of the first batch, he couldn’t lose to Jin hai, who was in the second.
“There’s no problem with the rest, but I’m a little tired of eating roasted whole pigs for two days in a row.” Chef Li said.
Chef Chu also nodded his head with deep feelings.
Speaking of which, in order to thank head chef Yuan for working tirelessly to restore the golden bird, Jin hai made the most complete roast pig and sent it to Yuan Zhou.
The roasted whole pig was so big that they obviously needed help. Kang Hu recomnded himself.
Therefore, when Yuan Zhou sent the last batch of custors away, he saw Jin hai and Kang Hu sitting outside and of course, the very conspicuous huge tray in the middle of them.
......
“This is a roasted suckling pig? There should be so new progress. ” Yuan Zhou thought that it was probably newly prepared by Jin hai.
“Hello, head chef Yuan (President).” Jin hai and Kang Hu both stood up and greeted Yuan Zhou.
“Co in,” Yuan Zhou nodded to the two people and then turned around and entered the restaurant.
After entering the backyard, Jin hai found sothing different from the previous two days. Beside the stove, sothing like a kiln was piled up.
“Could it be that this golden bird was roasted using a kiln?” Jin hai guessed in his heart, but this did not delay his actions.
Together with Kang Hu, he put the whole roast pig in his hand on the stone table. This was the best roast whole pig he had so far. He just wanted Yuan Zhou to try it.
Kang Hu, who was supposed to leave imdiately after putting down the pig, peeked at Yuan Zhou and found that he didn’t show any signs of driving him away. Therefore, he stayed behind secretly. In order to witness the cooking skills of the president, Kang Hu felt that he could throw away his face at any ti.
If it had been before, Jin hai might have had so opinions about letting an outsider like Kang Hu see it as an ancient recipe passed down in his family.
However, after being selflessly guided by Yuan Zhou the day before yesterday, Jin hai believed that a chef shouldn’t be too self-conscious.
“Has youhuo figured it out?” Yuan Zhou asked.
“Yes,” Jin hai replied.”It’s the highest level currently. I want head chef Yuan to have a taste of it.”
“I’ll try it then. ” Since they hadn’t had lunch yet, Yuan Zhou decided to have the whole roasted pig for lunch.
“Please.” Jin hai imdiately stepped forward and lifted the thick cloth covering the box. A wave of hot air rushed out.
The glossy body of the pig was slightly brown in color. Obviously, it had taken Yuan Zhou’s previous suggestion into consideration.
“This fire seems to be good.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Thank you,” she said. Jin Hai’s tense face revealed a smile.
Taking out a bamboo tube from his bag, Kang Hu tactfully took out a clean plate and placed it on the stone table. Jin hai poured his secret sauce into the plate.
“The taste is just right. Head chef Yuan, have a taste.” After Jin hai finished the series of work, he imdiately stepped back and looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly.
Even the chopsticks had been prepared. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and picked up the chopsticks to pick up a piece of at from the pig’s back, including the skin. Jin hai had already cut the at before wrapping it up, so he directly picked it up, dipped it in the sauce, and then put it into his mouth.
At first, there was the sll of pine incense, followed by crispness, and then the tenderness of the at. With the seasoning of the sauce, it tasted pretty good.
“You can try adding so mint leaves into the sauce. I think it’ll suit the general taste better.”
“Also, it’s better to add less salt during the marinating.”
Yuan Zhou said after he finished the al. Jin hai hurriedly nodded his head and recorded it.
“It’s said that a good food critic is not necessarily a good chef, and a good chef is not necessarily a good food critic. Food critics and chefs are two completely different professions from writers and literary critics. However, I’m afraid that head chef Yuan’s cooking skills are too strong, so strong that he can cross the two industries of food critics and chefs.”
For example, for an athlete in the 100m and 400m event, whether it was in terms of technique or other aspects, there was no difference. However, if your body had reached the limits of human limits, there was no difference. Although Yuan Yafeng did not say it well, he was not called that for nothing.
“The Jinhai roasted whole pig can really beco a famous National Specialty dish.”
Kang Hu was also lost in thought while listening to Yuan Zhou’s suggestion. He had eaten the roasted whole pig prepared by Jin hai in the past two days and also offered so small suggestions. However, when he heard Yuan Zhou’s suggestion, he felt that his suggestion was too shallow.
It was no wonder that accepting an in-na disciple could cause such a stir in China. Head chef Yuan was really good at teaching. Jin Hai’s improvent was visible to the naked eye.
“I’ve already restored the roasted golden bird. Watch cook it first, then I’ll explain it to you in detail. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“Alright,” he said. Jin hai nodded. He was a little impatient.
“The ratio of the sauce is very clear on the ancient scroll, so I made the sauce in advance. There is no need to restore it. The most important thing is the marinating thod and the roasting thod.” Yuan Zhou explained the details of the ancient scroll in detail.
While saying that, Yuan Zhou carried a basin of sauce on the kitchen counter to Jin hai.
Previously, Jin hai didn’t think there was anything good about the sauce. But after seeing the sauce made by Yuan Zhou, he felt that he wasn’t qualified to make this dish even if he were to make the sauce.
To be honest, he had been mixing this sauce for half his life, but he had never seen it so beautiful. The brownish red sauce had a faint mix of white and green inside. It looked perfect in terms of both humidity and viscosity.
After putting the chicken into the big clay pot, Yuan Zhou began to spread the sauce. He said that he was going to restore it, but he didn’t leave out any small details. For example, at that ti, it was impossible for there to be a plastic pot, an iron pot, or an aluminum pot. Even if he didn’t consider the taste, just from the perspective of restoration, a clay pot was more suitable.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t choose the kind that had been glazed, but the kind that hadn’t been glazed. The White chicken with at powder was placed in the coarse porcelain clay pot. With the brown clay pot as a contrast, it looked particularly conspicuous.
Yuan Zhou’s restoration was done from all aspects, such as the roasting thod and the utensils. He couldn’t use the utensils that didn’t exist in ancient tis.
“What is this?” Kang Hu suddenly saw sothing he couldn’t understand.
