Chapter 1307: Crab Roe Soup Bun (II)
Yang Huairen also roughly explained the production process of crab roe soup dumplings, and the female chef who made crab roe soup dumplings was stunned and couldn't help asking, "The method of this crab roe soup dumplings is passed down by my ancestors, and it has been continuously improved for several generations to have today's method and taste."
Why hasn't the prince eaten it yet, just looking at the appearance, and he has learned all the secrets of my family's making crab roe soup dumplings? β
Of course, Yang Huairen can't say that he knows the recipe for crab roe soup dumplings, he smiled, "In fact, these complicated steps in making crab roe soup dumplings are not a secret, and now there are many cooks in the Jiangnan generation who can make similar crab roe soup dumplings." β
The female chef also thinks about it, and now there are many restaurants on the market that provide crab roe soup dumplings, although each has its own characteristics and some differences in taste, but in general, they are all delicious.
She was interested, and then asked, "Could it be that before the prince came to Yangzhou, he had already tasted this crab roe soup dumpling and learned how to make it?" β
Yang Huairen continued to laugh, "That's not true, I'm on the boat, and the cooks on the boat are all northern cooks, where can I make crab roe soup dumplings?" As for this king, to be honest, I just know the specific method of this crab roe soup dumpling, in fact, I haven't really made it myself. β
The female chef was even more surprised, "This ...... How can it be? I think when my master taught us, he taught me every step by hand, but I still studied for three years before I made it for the first time to be considered a qualified crab roe soup dumpling. β
Zhao Xianqiu said angrily, "The prince now enjoys the name of the kitchen god, I'm afraid that the kitchen god of the north and south who has long passed away will crawl out of the coffin, and he won't dare to claim to be the kitchen god in front of the prince, not to mention that it's just a small crab roe soup dumpling, the prince will make it, what's so strange?" β
The female chef was really afraid of Zhao Xianqiu, so she hurriedly apologized, "What the adults said is that the people are abrupt, and I also ask the prince and the adults to see the guilt." β
"Heyβ"
Yang Huairen waved his hand, "It's not that serious, I know how to make crab roe soup dumplings, but if I try to do it for the first time, I'm afraid I have to think about it carefully, and it will definitely not be as delicious as what you make."
Everyone understands this, what we do is a thing where practice makes perfect, even if the king of the stove goes down to earth and asks him to cook a dish for the first time, it may not be as delicious as you and me, haha......"
After speaking, Yang Huairen went to thank Zhao Xianqiu again, "Zhao Geling arranged these four Yangzhou famous dishes, it is really heartfelt, this king has thanked him here." β
Zhao Xianqiu hurriedly said humbly, "The prince's words can be tormenting our family, the prince is an angel, he is ordered to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, and our family has been running errands for the emperor in Yangzhou for many years, so he is naturally familiar with the local situation."
Our family knows that the prince likes delicacies, so naturally we have to make arrangements with all our hearts, and if the arrangement makes the prince dissatisfied, we have to ask the prince to bear with me. β
Zhao Xianqiu's words are not leaky, it can be regarded as a kind of ability, Yang Huairen has always admired people with ability, and what he cares more about is that Zhao Xianqiu's father-in-law is really meticulous, and from the order of serving these four dishes, this point is fully displayed.
First of all, local officials were arranged to come to the Golden Building to prepare, and then at the beginning, some northern dishes that northerners might like to eat were prepared at the table.
Later, it was Yang Huairen who brought it up, and he let the four famous dishes of Yangzhou that had been prepared in advance come to the table, and let the local celebrity chef who made these four dishes serve them personally.
In doing so, it is to prepare Yang Huairen, the kitchen god, after enjoying the four famous dishes of Yangzhou, there will be some questions or words, a few of them don't know how to cook, if they can't talk to the cold scene, it is easy to make the scene embarrassing.
And the four chefs communicated with Yang Huairen, and gave Zhao Xianqiu the opportunity to take the opportunity to pat himself on the back, praising and belittling, which is all a routine.
In the order of the four dishes, the lion's head is served first, because the lion's head should be eaten while it is hot, it is the freshest and most beautiful, and the soft taste and meat aroma are also the most obvious.
Boiled dried shreds, it is also a similar reason, first eat the lion's head, and then a semi-vegetarian dish based on dried tofu boiled dried shreds, which makes people feel more refreshing and delicious to eat, and the chicken soup can also go down the mouth and esophagus, making people feel comfortable.
Compared with the previous two dishes, the salted goose is not so required to be eaten hot after being out of the pot, and after a while, the goose meat is slightly chewy, and it feels better to eat.
The last dish of crab roe soup dumplings is very hot at first, and it may not be visible from the outside, but the soup in the soup dumplings is hot.
And put this dish at the end, is to let it dry for a while, after tasting the first three dishes, come to a soup dumpling that is both a vegetable and a staple food, the hot soup in the soup dumpling has cooled slightly, at this time to eat warm but not hot mouth, just right.
If Yang Huairen is still that young and stunned young man, he may have been carried away by his slapping of the horse, but now he has also experienced strong winds and waves, in addition to using his eyes and ears to recognize people, he also understands how to recognize people with his heart, so as to recognize the essence of a person.
Zhao Xianqiu, who is good at offering flattery in front of people with high status, is naturally his personality, and it is related to his career that he can't change in his life, in fact, it's all doomed.
As for how he treats his subordinates or the people, he will definitely not show it in front of Yang Huairen, even if he does, he will just pretend to love the people like a son, and Yang Huairen will not easily believe in his character.
It's just some politeness and entertainment in the officialdom, Yang Huairen will naturally not be too perfunctory, after all, Zhao Xianqiu has a deep foundation in Jiangnan, Yang Huairen has just arrived, before he understands it, it is better not to act too violently, everyone's face must be given.
Yang Huairen hugged his fists and thanked, "Then thank you to Pavilion Leader Zhao, Pavilion Leader Tong and all the adults for their warm hospitality." β
Zhao Xianqiu wasted no time in taking out a bamboo tube, helping Yang Huairen poke a hole in the crab roe soup bun, and then pointed the balsamic vinegar in the small dish at the opening on the soup dumpling and dripped a few drops before sending it to Yang Huairen again.
Yang Huairen couldn't help but think in his heart, even if he enjoyed the feeling of being served by the eunuchs like an emperor for a while, Zhao Xianqiu was indeed careful, every move was elegant and polite, and he was meticulous, it was easy for people to feel intimate, and it was difficult to hate him.
Yang Huairen thanked Zhao Xianqiu, and then went to taste the crab roe soup dumplings, and sure enough, the soup was delicious, even better than the taste he had tasted in later generations.
However, he still said in the strict attitude of a chef, "The crab roe soup dumplings are indeed delicious, but there is only one regret." β
Zhao Xianqiu hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the prince said, but the current crab is not mature enough?" β
Yang Huairen nodded and said, "Zhao Geling is right, as the saying goes, male crabs are fat in September, and female crabs are fragrant in October." It's September and the male crab is the fattest, but to make this crab roe soup dumpling, you need to use a mature female crab.
At this time, only a small number of female crabs have just conceived, and the crab roe is not fat enough, so that the taste of this crab roe soup dumpling has some flaws.
However, this chef uses September female crabs to make such a taste, which is also very many. β
The female chef had to admire Yang Huairen, an expert, and hurriedly said apologetically, "The prince strives for perfection, and the people admire it." If you wait for the fat crabs in October to come down, the prince will come to Yangzhou again, and the people will ask the prince to taste better crab roe soup dumplings. β
