From the next day, Wang Yong went straight into a busy state.

The celebration banquet is mainly for officers, and only those above the middle level can participate, but ordinary non-commissioned officers and low-level officers naturally have to take care of it. Everyone has the merit in this battle, and we can't afford to lose sight of one or the other.

"20,000 servings of food must be solved, rice is the staple food, each soldier has an omelette, a plate of green vegetables, another plate of braised pork, and a few pickles. Make more rice and tell the soldiers that they can add as much rice as they want, but don't waste it! As the head chef of the march, Mao Jue was mainly responsible for the meals of non-commissioned officers and low-level officers.

Of course, Wang Yong couldn't be idle, what he was responsible for was the dinner of Cao Cao and other high-level civil and military officials.

Today's celebration is to be celebrated, and in the morning Cao Cao will go to the barracks to comfort the soldiers, especially those who are injured. Eat a meal until the evening, then eat fruit, drink wine, and watch the show. Finally, and most crucially, is the review of the campaign, followed by various appointments.

Military merit needs to be calculated today, which is why the dinner party is not yesterday, but tonight. It is said that civil officials will have a book of military merits, and Cheng Yu and Guo Jia will sort them out and report them to Cao Cao, who will either arrange promotions or rewards. Generally speaking, the two will also give some suggestions for Cao Cao's reference.

Everyone is very busy, and Wang Yong has not stopped since the morning. The most idle in the entire army is estimated to be the three captured enemy generals. They were placed under house arrest until the feast tonight, when they were not allowed to participate.

"Take out the beef in the afternoon, and the onions should be ready first! Yes, the white kind, grind it directly and set aside! Wang Yong kept wandering around the kitchen, and then kept shouting.

The soup should be boiled first, and a good stock needs to be boiled slowly, starting at noon, using clove fish. A very small, and small fish, generally used to make small dried fish, and this kind of small dried fish is also a good product for making soup.

"When the clove fish is made into dried fish, the umami is concentrated, and the soup is very delicious without thinking about it. At this time, add the soaked seaweed, and at the same time beat in the egg drops, don't look at this soup is very simple, but it is a superposition of triple umami! Wang Yong also pointed out the cooks in a timely manner.

"But there are some things to be aware of, first of all, the eggs must be fresh, there is no doubt about this! The second point is that the seaweed must be cleaned carefully, otherwise it will ruin the taste! The third point is the seasoning, because the seaweed and dried fish originally have a salty taste, so you must be cautious when putting salt, otherwise it will be too salty! Wang Yong continued to add.

"Understood!" The cooks nodded their heads, and they couldn't use the recipes, but this theory of umami and seasoning, for them, was like piercing a layer of window paper, and many things suddenly became clear.

Some people will even continue to grow as a result of this, and then become intermediate or even senior chefs. At that point, they won't just be a cook.

Wang Yong initially thought that the person who revealed that he was going to prepare the cooked meat must be someone who was a disgruntled cook. Most of them have junior chef qualifications, but they have to accept their own leadership, and Wang Yong will not believe it if they have no complaints.

And what he wants to do is very simple, that is, to let him see the difference in strength between the two sides, and at the same time sell personal favors. Just look at the current cooks one or two obedient, and even some smart people, with gratitude in their eyes.

In the blink of an eye, there were still two hours before the dinner, and Dian Wei came over once during the period, mainly to tell him about this matter. At the same time, it is also on behalf of Cao Cao to see if the legendary 'stinky beef' can be eaten...... It's just that Wang Yong feels that the real purpose of her coming over is to be able to eat some before dinner.

Needless to say, a piece of fried steak was indispensable, not seasoned much, and it was handed to her after frying.

"This taste...... The key is the taste...... Why is it gone? Dian Wei tilted his head, looked at the empty plate, and looked directly at Wang Yong with a skeptical expression.

"Hey, it's almost there!" Wang Yong complained directly, obviously he ate it himself, why did he still look at it with that kind of 'did you steal my steak'.

"I still want to eat!" Dian Wei said, 'Please keep feeding.'

"I've got a tuba for you, but not right now!" Wang Yong shook his head.

"In that case...... Then I'll spare you first! Dian Wei looked at Wang Yong, and after making sure that he really didn't give it, he turned around directly, leaving him with a gorgeous figure.

"Anyway, I'm here to steal food, why did it turn out that I was wrong?" Wang Yong felt a headache, this Dian Wei has its own robber attributes.

"Cut the beef marinated in onions and take it out separately! Use high-grade rapeseed oil, or olive oil, first fry one side on high heat for about 18 breaths, and then turn down the heat and slowly fry the other side, well, something like this! Wang Yong summoned the other cooks over to demonstrate the method.

First of all, the steak is fried and prepared according to the number of people attending the feast. In fact, two cows were almost enough, and the remaining one was directly fried after Cao Cao was consulted and sent to the low-level officers in the barracks. Even if they are the commanders of the army, they are not too big officers, and naturally they cannot be treated the same as ordinary non-commissioned officers.

"Understood!" The cooks who were in charge of cutting and frying the steaks replied.

"The green vegetables are simply blanched in order to remove the grass flavor in the vegetables, take them out and drain them, then put them in an oil pan, fry them until they are ripe, and then add soybean paste and seasonings. Since soybean paste itself has a certain salty taste, the amount of salt should be controlled. Wang Yong then came to another area and told the cooks who were in charge of stir-frying the vegetables.

"Understood!" The assistant chef in charge of the green vegetables also replied immediately.

"Start seasoning the seaweed egg drop soup and add it slowly to make sure it tastes fresh but not too salty!" Wang Yong finally advised, after all, the recipe sounds very simple.

The nori was found directly from the Man-Sho House, and the Chef's Guild didn't have it. It is said to be medicinal, and it seems that people in this world do not know how to cook seaweed or kelp.

Anyway, do you want to find a way to get some kelp another day? It is said that the original MSG was extracted from kelp, but there is also a saying that it was extracted from sea intestines.

"After the steak is cooked, don't wash the pan first, add rice wine (originally red wine), pour in the remaining onion, add black soy sauce, and add the sauce (wheat starch) to thicken...... Yes, that's it, spread the steak on top of the rice, and then pour the fried onion with the gravy, and the gravy must soak through a third of the rice. "In the last step, Wang Yong didn't dare to be sloppy.

Donburi is not unique to island countries, Gansu is called rice bowl, while the Northeast is called risotto, and in Guangdong it is also called dish rice, in the final analysis, the food is eaten in a tableware. Maybe it's because the tableware is different, the way to serve it is different, and there are different names.

"Very nice taste!" When the finished product was made, many cooks twitched their noses, and the compound taste was intoxicating to smell, "Just for this taste, the rice bowl is absolutely delicious!" ”

"I didn't smell it at all, is this really stinky beef?" Someone else whispered.

"Didn't the chef say that? This is a special case of aged meat! From the very beginning, it wasn't much of a stinky meat! Naturally, there are people who directly refute it.

"If you don't eat it, who knows what it will taste like?" Naturally, there are also people who come up with such sour words.

"What stupid things are you talking about?" Wang Yong naturally heard their conversation, "While the banquet hasn't started yet, why don't you hurry up and put it on the plate if you have time?" After the feast begins, we're going to have to take things out, but until then, you're going to take your turns! ”

There is no grade for the help cook, so naturally there is no way to sit at the table, and eating in the kitchen is an inevitable result. But this is also a benefit, that is, the dishes at the banquet, they can directly taste in advance.

In other words, it is also good to taste it in advance, at least to ensure the taste of the dish, and at the same time, if someone poisons it, it can also find the problem as soon as possible, at least it will not hurt Cao Cao.

"Thank you, Chef!" Knowing that they could eat in turns, and that they were eating in advance, the cooks immediately cheered. After a brief plating, a rice bowl set is ready, and you can start tasting it.

When the "......" really tasted the taste, the expected smell did not appear at all, and in the shock, the chopsticks could not stop at all, and when I came to my senses, the set meal had been completely eaten.

"When did I finish eating? Who ate my set? Immediately, the assistant chef shouted angrily.

"What stupid things are you talking about?" The assistant chef who was busy next to him complained directly, "You ate your set meal by yourself, and we all drooled when we saw it!" ”

"What did I eat?" When the assistant chef heard this, he seemed to recall something, "I vaguely remember that it really seemed to be me, but what was the taste?" Completely immersed in it, it turned out to be gone! ”

"Is it delicious?" Naturally, there are also people who ask in a brainless way, in fact, there is no need at all, I didn't see others eat the set meal cleanly, even if it is salted plums, there are only two cores left.

"It's a magical texture and taste, I'll tell you......" People who have eaten it began to brag, but in fact, they also know little about the taste.

"Next batch! Time is running out, let's work hard, and come over to help after eating! Wang Yong shouted.

"Come on!" At this time, everyone reacted and quickly got busy again.

The dinner started as scheduled, Cao Cao and others took their seats one after another, the weather was good tonight, cloudless, and the rising moon was faintly seen. On such a day, it should be very pleasant to have a celebration banquet.

Cao Cao looked left and right, made sure that everyone was there, and even the three captives were seated, nodded, and announced: "Since everyone has arrived, let's serve the food for so long!" ”

The back kitchen received the news, and under the leadership of Wang Yong, a set meal was served one after another and delivered to the guests.

Looking at the set meal, the color and flavor are complete, Cao Cao nodded, and shouted loudly: "Coarse tea and light rice, please use it slowly!" ”
