Chapter 880: Cooking Yourself (Page 1/1)
In less than five minutes, two calves were sick and died in Comrade Li Er's palace, and Liu Bing also came to report it.
"Your Majesty, the cow is sick and dead." Liu Bing stood in front of Comrade Li Er and arched his hand and said.
Li Er waved his hand, and Liu Bing left Comrade Li Er's sight with interest.
"Okay Qingquan, this beef is also here, now it's time for you to show off your skills, I'm hungry this stomach, I want to taste what is so special about the truffles you bought with a lot of money." Li Erdao.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister promises to be delicious." Zhang Nan is still very confident in his cooking skills, after all, the second-level chef is not taken for nothing.
Under the leadership of Liu Bing, Zhang Nan soon came to the imperial dining room. Originally, Comrade Li Er wanted to come with him, but Empress Changsun said that the gentleman was far away from cooking, and Comrade Li Er didn't want to follow.
Zhang Nan also condemned Comrade Li Er's uneducated performance.
This sentence is not taken that literally.
The meaning of this sentence is that when a gentleman sees a living beast, he can't bear to see it die, and when he hears its voice, he can't bear to eat its meat, so the gentleman stays away from the place where the beast is slaughtered.
This is mainly to express the idea of "benevolence", and a gentleman should have a heart of forbearance.
Unexpectedly, Comrade Li Er also looked sneered after listening to Zhang Nan's explanation.
"Do you think I don't know what that means? Ridiculous, I just suddenly don't want to go. Looking at the appearance of Comrade Li Er, an old god, Zhang Nan could only go to the imperial dining room to cook for Comrade Li Er.
After all, now Comrade Li Er and Zhang Nan are no longer a simple monarch and minister, but now belong to a family, although Zhang Nan is very reluctant to call Comrade Li Er's father, but this is an undeniable fact.
When he came to the imperial dining room, Zhang Nan began to command the cooks.
The cooks didn't know Zhang Nan, and of course they didn't know that the person standing in front of them now was a prince, of course, if they knew, I was afraid that even the kitchen knife would be unstable.
Although the imperial chefs didn't know Zhang Nan, they knew Liu Bing, this was a big celebrity around Lao Li, and he was able to come to this kind of place, he must have been ordered by Lao Li, so they didn't dare to say anything.
"Cut the loin of these two cows for me and divide it into quarters." As soon as Zhang Nan spoke, naturally someone did it, although the Tang Dynasty explicitly forbade the slaughter of cultivated cattle, but this does not mean that the chefs in the imperial dining room will not make beef.
Before Zhang Nan came, Li Er's palace also had a lot of calves that died of illness.
Beef tenderloin is the most tender meat on the beef loin, almost no fat, so people who love lean meat love this part, especially if two calves are killed today, so the tenderloin is even more tender.
Zhang Nan waited until the beef tenderloin was placed in front of him, and he didn't hesitate much, and quickly picked up the salt and smeared it on the four pieces of tenderloin.
"Well, what do you mean by that?" A cook couldn't help but stand up and ask when he saw Zhang Nan smearing salt on top of the meat.
"Old Sun, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Liu Bing saw that someone dared to ask questions, so he hurriedly stopped.
"That, Master Horse, this is the head of the imperial dining room, a kitchen idiot, I want to ask if I meet a practice I haven't seen, don't be surprised by Master Horse." Liu Bing explained to Zhang Nan with a smile.
After Zhang Nan and Li Lizhi got married, Comrade Li Er told the people around him that when he saw Zhang Nan in the future, he was not allowed to call him Grandpa Guo, nor was he allowed to call him an adult, but only a concubine. This was done to remind Zhang Nan that he and he were family.
After hearing this, Zhang Nan also waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter, anyway, it was just a recipe, and it was not a confidential document, so Zhang Nan naturally didn't mind others learning it.
"This is done to exud the moisture in the beef, making the meat firmer and more textured." Zhang Nan explained while rubbing salt.
"I see." Lao Sun does seem to be a kitchen idiot, and when he heard that Zhang Nan was willing to explain to him how to cook, he was immediately very happy, no matter what Zhang Nan's identity was, anyway, as long as Zhang Nan was willing to tell him how to make this dish.
"I'll be able to wait for a cup of tea." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he moved a small stool and waited for the moisture of the beef to seep out.
"This, Master Pony, can the little one learn how to make this dish with you?" Lao Sun saw Zhang Nan sitting on the side, and also cautiously stood beside Zhang Nan and asked.
After all, this thing is also a secret in Lao Sun's opinion, and the signature dishes of the major restaurants in Chang'an City are not the same, and the signature dishes here are the value of the cooks, and they will not be taught to outsiders to learn easily.
Of course, Lao Sun dared to do this, and he also believed that Zhang Nan's identity as a horse master should not be so stingy with a dish. In fact, the old grandson is not so bold on weekdays, but when he encounters cooking things, this kitchen idiot can't stand it.
"Yes, but when you learn it later, I'm afraid that a few cows in the palace will die of illness every once in a while." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
Lao Sun naturally didn't know what Zhang Nan meant, and when he saw Zhang Nan smiling, Lao Sun also accompanied Zhang Nan to smirk.
After looking at his watch, after the time was almost up, Zhang Nan stood up and began to carry out the next steps.
While doing it, Zhang Nan began to explain to the old grandson who was standing behind him.
"Put a little butter in the pan, heat it, put in the steak and fry it on high heat for 50 seconds, turn it over and fry it for another 40 seconds, turn to low heat, continue to fry for 20 seconds, turn it over, until the steak is cooked through, and serve."
"This, dare to ask the horse master, what is a second?" Lao Sun didn't know what the second in Zhang Nan's mouth was, so he asked.
"Well, you just count fifty counts, that's fifty seconds, anyway, it's a little, as long as it's fried, don't fry it." Zhang Nan explained.
Lao Sun nodded, signaling that he understood.
"Put a little butter in the pot and heat it, add minced garlic and chopped onion and stir-fry until fragrant, add a little salt and this truffle, add a little water, boil over high heat, turn to low heat and grunt, you can use a shovel to keep drawing circles halfway until the soup is thick, and finally pour the juice on the steak and it's done."
After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he poured the soup in the pot on the fried steak at one time, and the steak itself exuded the aroma of meat, paired with the truffle soup, and the fragrance became even stronger.
The steak itself should be a little greasy, and under the truffle soup full of earthy fragrance, the aroma is more intense, but it is not as strong as before.
