Chapter 1243: Show Food (Eighteen)

The diners seated below are not as lucky as the five special guests, they can eat one for each person, they can only share one for multiple people, and each person only tastes a little.

However, there is no way to do it, Yang Huairen alone cannot make a portion of 300 people, in this way, let diners have a preliminary understanding of show food, and make them hungry, which is also part of his marketing.

Most people can only watch, using their imagination to imagine what the steak cooked by Yang Huairen himself tastes like.

So they complained a little, and when they looked at Yang Huairen, they all looked like lions and tigers who were about to starve to death.

Yang Huairen also hurriedly diverted everyone's attention, "Thank you for your support, the next dish is the finale of this food appraisal, I want to use the iron plate in front of me to make an iron plate fried ice brick for everyone!" ”

Only then did everyone put away their complaints with Yang Huairen's words, but what kind of dish is this fried ice bricks on the iron plate?

Something doesn't seem right, it doesn't seem likely, right? Heating the iron plate and frying the ice bricks? Didn't the ice bricks turn into a puddle of sugar water when it was heated? How is this possible?!

Zhao Ji, who was sitting opposite Yang Huairen, thought that he had misheard, they were sitting at the table, and they were indeed a little close to the heated iron plate, so they felt a little hot.

I ate a hot fried steak just now, and I felt even hotter, and when I heard the word ice brick, Zhao Ji thought that Yang Huairen was giving them another ice brick to relieve the heat.

When he reacted, he immediately became a little incredible, "Brother Yang, you just said that you wanted to fry ice bricks?" But fry it on this iron plate? ”

Yang Huairen smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”

The expression on Zhao Ji's face was even more puzzled, "This ...... Impossible, right? The ice brick is cold, the iron plate is hot, let alone frying the ice brick, just put the ice brick on the table, if you don't eat it quickly, it will melt quickly. ”

"Nothing is impossible," Yang Huairen still didn't explain to him in detail, "When King Duan sees him later, he won't think so." ”

The others were also confused, and they couldn't figure out what kind of effect it would be to fry ice bricks on an iron plate anyway.

Zeng Shen suddenly remembered something, touched his mustache and said slowly, "I heard an interesting thing before, which seems to be a bit similar to the fried ice bricks that the prince just said." ”

"Oh?" Yang Huairen was also curious, "What interesting thing did Mr. Zeng say?" Let's hear about it. ”

Zeng Shen smiled, "It's okay to say, but this matter has only been heard of in the next, whether it is true, in the next is only from some old books on folk cooking, and I dare not guarantee whether it really happened, everyone listened, just listen to it, just laugh."

It is said that when Liang Taizu Zhu Wen reigned that year, there was a heavy snow for days in winter, and after the snow stopped, the weather was cold and frozen, and there were many ice skates on the eaves.

It is said that at that time, due to the snowstorm in the north, many farmers' livestock froze to death, and the courtiers were more worried that the grain production would be reduced in the coming year, resulting in the people not having enough food to eat, which would cause greater harm to the imperial court.

So the ministers gave Zhu Wen advice one after another, asking Zhu Wen to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible. At this time, Zhu Wen didn't have any good way, looking at the thick snow outside the door and sighed, if only I didn't see ice and snow in my eyes, but food.

Of course, this is a joke, but in order to curry favor with Zhu Wen, a traitor in the hall volunteered, saying that His Majesty said that ice and snow are food, so ice and snow must also be able to be eaten as food.

At this time, an upright courtier stood up and questioned this traitorous minister, you said that ice and snow can be eaten, then you can first use ice and snow to make a dish, and then eat and try, if you can really eat it, even if you are right.

Originally, the loyal minister wanted to take advantage of this problem to suppress the traitor's unreasonable trouble, but he didn't expect the traitor to suddenly say, why can't ice and snow be eaten, not only can it be eaten, but it is also delicious.

So he actually found a cook in the family, and in front of Zhu Wen and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, he wanted to make a dish with ice and snow.

I don't know what this chef's name is, but the book only says that his surname is Huo, so let's call him Chef Huo.

This Chef Huo is actually very embarrassed, but the traitor forced him to do it, and he couldn't help it, otherwise the traitor would put the charge of bullying the king on his head.

Chef Huo didn't want to be a scapegoat, so he had to think hard, and after thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a dish that could be made with ice and snow.

So he asked the palace people for help, set up a ladder outside the door of the imperial kitchen, and cut off a section of the ice skate hanging on the eaves.

Then, in front of Zhu Wen and the ministers, he first broke the ice skate into pieces, then wrapped it in flour paste, added a lot of sugar and other seasonings, and fried the ice skate with oil.

The ice skate is actually an ice cube, but after the ice skate is wrapped in a layer of batter, it is cut off from heating to a certain extent, and the batter immediately expands and solidifies when it encounters hot oil, and when the fried ice skate is fished out of the oil pan, the ice skate has not completely melted.

Zhu Wen and several ministers tasted it separately, although it was a bit inappropriate to eat ice cubes in winter, but because the taste was sweet, it could be regarded as letting him pass the test.

It's just that because of this, the traitor won Zhu Wen's appreciation, saying that he was well-informed, but let Chef Huo also carry the traitor's black cauldron.

The reason why I remembered this story was because the prince said that he would use an iron plate to fry ice bricks, so he suddenly felt that the prince's method was similar to that of Chef Huo's fried ice skates? ”

After listening to it, everyone felt that this story was very interesting, and it also had a certain warning effect, and they also began to wonder if Yang Huairen's iron plate fried ice bricks were also the same way.

Unexpectedly, Yang Huairen said, "This story is really interesting, and the fried ice skate is indeed creative." But well...... Hehe, there's actually not that much difficulty in frying ice skates.

Take the ice bricks in our garden as an example, everyone buys them back, and they can also be fried with flour paste and eaten, but in that way of eating, the taste is not necessarily delicious, and the ice bricks are used to relieve the heat, and they are fried in oil, which makes people more popular in such a hot day. ”

Yang Huairen's words did not belittle the wit of Chef Huo in Qianliang, but he told the truth that the iron plate fried ice bricks he was going to perform next were completely different from the fried ice skates, but his approach must be full of cooking skills and wisdom.

And the most important thing is that his iron plate fried ice brick will not change the original function of the ice brick, and after it is made, it is also used for everyone to relieve the heat.
