Reborn – Super Chef

It's afternoon.

"Master, I found the Shaoxing Huadiao wine you asked me to find for you." Tian Xiaodu wiped the sweat from his brow and went back to Xiaoyu's home cooking. He said hello to the two people behind him while talking to Ye Chui. The two of them were holding a wine jar that was half the height of a person, and carefully placed it on the floor of the hotel.

Some diners in the restaurant looked at the wine jar curiously.

The wine jar looks like a bull's head, with a vicissitudes of life on the outside, but the seal is well sealed. There is also a piece of red paper on the wine jar, with the words Shaoxing Huadiao written on it, and the red paper It was already a bit dilapidated, enough to see that the wine jar had been kept secret for a long time.

Ye Chui came out of the kitchen, squatted in front of the wine jar, looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, this is what I want."

"Master, do you want to start selling wine in the restaurant?" Tian Xiaodu continued to ask a little strangely, and he said in amazement, "This jar of wine is at least ten years old, and it cost more than 10,000 yuan. I just bought it from a wine merchant."

While talking, Tian Xiaodu called the two people who brought the wine to leave.

"Shaoxing Huadiao wine is so expensive." Han Yuyan walked from the side in surprise and said.

"This is aged wine, so the price is not normal." Tian Xiaodu explained, but his face was full of doubts, and he looked at Ye Chui, "Master, our restaurant is too small, it's not appropriate to sell this kind of wine, it probably won't be sold at all." stay home."

"I don't want to sell wine." Ye Chui shook his head, "I use it for cooking."

"Cooking?" Tian Xiaodu, Han Yuyan and some other diners were surprised. Ye Chui spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy this jar of aged wine for cooking?

Tian Xiaodu couldn't wait to ask, "Master, cooking wine is enough for ordinary dishes, but what kind of dish do you want to cook that uses so much wine? It needs at least thirty or forty catty."

"The main thing I want to use is not the wine in this wine jar, but this wine jar." Ye Chui patted the wine jar and said, he is very satisfied with this wine jar, it is just suitable for the dish he is preparing super dish --

Because the video of the dark banquet was leaked, Lafayette's good sense of Ye Chui dropped to freezing point. Ming Jing took the opportunity to propose that Lafayette take Lin Zhengdao, Wu Haimei and Lin Wei's family to the nearby Zhuangyan Temple to fast and recite the Buddha. month, to get rid of karma.

Zhuangyan Temple is also a well-known temple in China. Of course, the temples of this era must be fundamentally different from the ancient temples in film and television dramas. Many temples have meditation programs for ordinary pilgrims, which can allow some tourists who seek psychological peace to relax in a short time. Living in the temple, now Lin Wei and her family are staying in the temple in this situation.

And Lafayette is determined now, Lin Zhengdao, Lin Wei and Wu Haimei told her that it was a misunderstanding but she just didn't listen, and the whole family had to stay in the temple for a month before they could leave.

Lafayette is also strict about Lin Wei contacting Ye Chui...

The matter between Ye Chui and Lin Wei is still secondary. The most important problem on Lin Zhengdao's side is more serious. The company is in crisis. If he doesn't manage the overall situation at this time, the company may be thrown away directly, but these principles are true for Lafayette. will not listen.

But Ye Chui has already seen that Lafayette doesn't understand anything, but the old lady just doesn't want her son to be busy for the company. In the past half month, Ye Chui even saw the old lady persuade Lin Zhengdao to sell the company. Anyway, he has earned enough money to spend his whole life, so he should stop busying himself with work.

All in all, now Lin Wei's family is completely trapped in the Zhuangyan Temple. Ye Chui went to visit yesterday, but was stopped at the gate of the temple. Under his instruction, Ye Chui entered the monastery strictly.

And this completely annoyed Ye Chui.

"Since you won't let me in, I'll lure all of you out of it!" At that time, two monks were roughly kicked out of the monastery, and the two monks even held the ring stick in their hands. Looking at Ye Chui coldly, this made Ye Chui indescribably angry.

He obviously wasn't going to just say these words.

What happened in the past two days has made him completely angry, making him, the God of Cookery, angry, so he will use the way of the God of Cookery to take revenge on these monks, and use the ultimate food to solve this matter.

So he was going to make an ultimate delicacy to let these hypocritical monks show their true colors, to make Lafayette wake up from the Zen meditation of Su Zhai and recite Buddha, and let this matter be completely resolved.

Does this sound crazy and nonsensical?

No, for Ye Chui, these are all possible, he wants to use a delicacy to turn the whole Zhuangyan Temple upside down!

And it happens that there is a Buddha character in this dish, which fits the origin of this dish very well.

This dish is called Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.

The fragrance of Tanqi's meat floats around, and the Buddha jumped over the wall when he heard of abandoning Zen.

Buddha jumps over the wall, this is a delicacy that can make Buddhas abandon Zen!

Speaking of Buddha Jumping Wall, many people are familiar with it. In Ye Chui’s last life, this dish was a state banquet, and it was sold in some medium and large restaurants, but the Buddha Jumping Wall made in the restaurant is all reduced and refined. The taste is not authentic, this dish suddenly looks like a hodgepodge, its origin is also accidental and accidental, but it can be passed down for hundreds of years and become a famous dish, the accidental part naturally has its cleverness.

This dish requires 18 kinds of main ingredients, 12 kinds of auxiliary ingredients, and a total of 30 kinds of ingredients. After these 30 kinds of ingredients are simmered for three hours, all kinds of ingredients penetrate into each other, the taste is delicious, and it tastes soft and tender , rich meat flavor, meat but not greasy, so that the dish of Buddha Jumping Wall is worthy of its name.

At the same time, at the Man-Han Quan Banquet held in the early Qing Dynasty, there was no such dish as Buddha Tiaoqiang, but it was not because the Buddha Tiaoqiang was not good enough, but because the Buddha Tiaoqiang and Man-Han Quan Banquet originated almost at the same time. However, in the several Manchu banquets held by the court afterwards, this newly born dish was included in it, and at the same time, it was still listed in the ranks of [meal].

The four grades of Manhan Banquet: [Fanpin] [Gourmet Food] [Royal Taste] [Meal]

[Meal] is the highest level of cuisine. Being at this level can at least show that this dish has reached the highest level of Chinese cuisine.

However, the most authentic Man-Han banquet is not so easy to make. This dish is not so difficult at first glance. It seems that it only needs to put 30 kinds of ingredients into an earthen pot and cook for a long time. Actually that's that easy.

The order and quantity of each ingredient must be strictly controlled, so that the deliciousness of each ingredient can be balanced during cooking, and finally blended into the ultimate fragrance that is regarded as fantasy.

Ye Chui also went through many experiments before he finally figured out the best deployment plan.

Of course, in addition to the cooking time, the control of the heat is also the most important thing. Even the earthen pot used for cooking this dish must be carefully selected - the Buddha jumps over the wall needs to be seasoned with wine, not ordinary The cooking wine should not be ordinary white wine, good Shaoxing Huadiao wine should be used, and if the aroma of the wine is to penetrate into the ingredients completely, it is not enough to just add Huadiao wine during the cooking process, so this requires cooking. The utensils should be old Shaoxing wine jars.

Due to the storage of Shaoxing wine in the wine jar, the wall of the jar naturally carries a scent of Shaoxing wine, which can best make the wine taste mellow and even in the whole dish.

That's why Ye Chui asked Tian Xiaodu to try to find this stall of aged Shaoxing Huadiao wine.

What he values ​​is not the wine inside, but the wine jar outside.

"Master, what kind of food do you want to cook with this wine jar?" Tian Xiaodu was stunned when he heard Ye Chui's words. In Huaxia cuisine, crocks are also cooking utensils, and some stewed dishes are the most suitable The cooking utensils are earthen jars, but Tian Xiaodu has never heard of such a large wine jar being used for that dish.

What's more, even if such a large wine jar is needed, the earthen pot market can be seen everywhere. Why did Ye Chui spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy this aged Shaoxing Huadiao wine?

Ye Chui was very satisfied with the wine jar, so he tore off the seal on the wine jar casually, and a scent of wine immediately filled the air. Ye Chui took a deep breath intoxicated, and then replied: "I want to The dish here is called Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.”

"Buddha jumps over the wall? The name is so strange." Han Yuyan said in surprise, she looked at Tian Xiaodu, "Brother, have you heard of this dish?"

"No." Tian Xiaodu shook his head, but then he was stunned again, "No, I seem to have read it in some book... It seems that a group of beggars put some of the food they begged into the earthen pot for steaming As a result, the fragrance is so strong that the monks who are doing evening classes in nearby monasteries can't help but look for the fragrance to come and taste it, so the name of the dish made by the beggar is undoubtedly called Buddha Jumping Wall, and a poet wrote about it. A poem, what is it called..."

"Tanqi's meaty fragrance is floating around, and the Buddha heard about abandoning Zen and jumped over the wall." Ye Chui said with a smile.

Although the vegetarian movement has lost countless recipes, some famous dishes have been passed down in the form of certain stories because of their extraordinary origins and are full of legends, but even so, few people take them seriously, such as this Taoist jumps over the wall.

Tian Xiaodu knew this story clearly, but he never thought of making this dish—steaming several ingredients together, no matter how you look at it, it looks like an ordinary braised dish, there is no need to try it at all.

"That's right, that's right." Tian Xiaodu nodded again and again, admiring Ye Chui, he never thought that he could read these two lines of poetry casually.

And Han Yuyan obviously didn't pay attention to this aspect, she said with a face full of surprise: "Master, so this dish was invented by a beggar?"

Ye Chui couldn't help but turned his head and flicked Han Yuyan's forehead: "Don't look down on beggars, the delicacies invented by beggars are sometimes delicious. I made you a beggar's chicken before. It was a delicacy invented by beggars. At that time, you were not Are you happy to eat too?"

Han Yuyan rubbed his forehead, stared at Ye Chui, and then said expectantly: "So this Buddha jumping over the wall is also delicious?"

"It's more than delicious?" Ye Chui said with a sinister smile, "I want to make those monks in Zhuangyan Temple not in the mood to continue chanting!"

Tian Xiaodu: "..."

Han Yuyan: "...Master, your tone of voice sounds like a villain at this time."

"..."

Ye Chui rolled his eyes, and didn't continue to talk to his female apprentice, but turned around and took a spoon, and scooped up a spoonful of wine from the wine jar. Ye Chui took a deep breath with an intoxicated expression on his face. He is not a drinker. In fact, he has been reborn in this world for half a year, and he has never tasted a sip of wine. But how can Ye Chui hold back the good wine at this time? ?

The world's winemaking techniques can be divided into three categories, namely rice wine, beer, and wine. Among them, rice wine originated in China, and Shaoxing wine is the most representative of China's characteristics among rice wine.

Glycol aroma, sweet and refreshing.

The stall in front of him is aged wine that has been sealed for ten years, and the taste is even stronger, Ye Chui couldn't help but want to drink it in one gulp.

But just as his lips touched the spoon, Han Yuyan snatched the spoon from Ye Chui's hand.

"What are you doing?" Ye Chui looked at his female apprentice.

"Master, minors are not allowed to drink." Han Yuyan said triumphantly.

Ye Chui: "..."

Han Yuyan chuckled, followed by himself but poured all the wine in the spoon into his mouth with a curious expression on his face. This sister probably knew that the wine was extremely delicious, so she wanted to taste it. However, she obviously forgot that she didn't know how to drink alcohol at all, and this kind of aged wine not only has a strong aroma, but also has a high alcohol content. Sister Han immediately coughed in unspeakable pain, tears came out up.

Instead, Ye Chui laughed rather relieved, and continued to pick up the spoon to prepare to taste the fine wine.

But Tian Xiaodu next to him took the spoon away again: "Master, it's really not good for underage drinking."

Ye Chui: "..."

He will be an adult in two months, what's wrong with drinking?

In the end, Ye Chui took a sip of rice wine, and felt a burst of pungentness in his throat, but the taste was indescribably pleasant. Of course, he also knew that this wine should not be drunk, so he still had some self-control. I poured it into a large plastic barrel. The wine is very precious, and it costs nearly several hundred yuan per catty. I'm afraid it won't be sold in this small restaurant, and I'm afraid it will have to stay in the kitchen for a long time. inside...

As for the vacated Shaoxing wine jar, Ye Chui was also very satisfied. Although the wine in it was poured out, there was still a strong aroma of wine permeating it.

After preparing the utensils, Ye Chui thought about the ingredients again. Many of the ingredients for Buddha Jumping Over the Wall are quite precious, such as shark's fin, abalone...

These are unlikely to be available in Xizhou City, but Ye Chui is not worried—he took out his mobile phone and dialed Xing Sen's mobile phone directly. No?"

For things like looking for ingredients, it's best to find a food detective! (~^~)
