Chapter 407

"Ancient leader, don't be surprised. Although I don't have the talent of song Xiu in cooking, I dare to bet with you. Naturally, I have my support." song Likun said.

"Tell me how you want to bet."

Gu Zheng has always been interested in gambling.

"As the saying goes, I specialize in cooking. Although my overall cooking is not as good as that boy song Xiu, I also have several dishes that are good at watching the house. I want to bet with the ancient leader that I am best at 'sauerkraut and orchid meat deduction'. I don't know whether the ancient leader dares to bet?" song Likun said.

"Braised pork with pickled cabbage and orchid slices" is not ordinary pork with potherb mustard. In this dish, pickled cabbage is a specialty of Kunlun market. As for the pork used, it is still from the "Xianyun pig" in Kunlun market, and the orchid slices in this dish are also from the roots of an edible orchid in Kunlun market. In addition, the dish "sauerkraut with sliced pork" is also available on the banquet menu provided by Kunlun today.

"You don't want the top leaders of your Kunlun sect to be judges?" Gu Zheng said.

"No, the feud between Kunlun and Emei was finally solved. In this special period when the feud was just solved, I don't want to worry the supreme elders! As for the judge, you can find this person!" song Likun said indifferently.

"Are you so relieved that I'm not afraid that I'll find someone to cheat?" Gu Zheng said curiously.

"Anyway, I'm sure I'll have a taste of your dishes. If we don't cheat, we'll rely on our conscience." song Likun said.

"OK, tell me what you want to bet on? A complete set of immortal utensils and kitchenware?" Gu Zheng asked.

Song Likun shook his head: "I believe that fairy kitchen utensils will be more useful in your hands. I bet you that my bet is these things."

It seemed that song Likun was ready. He took out a big bag of things.

"These are my treasures for many years!" song Likun said.

Gu Zheng looked straight at the things song Likun took out. There were more than 40 of them, including the medium-quality sugar song Xiu used in the food competition and some other medium-sized ingredients. And ordinary ingredients account for less than a third of Billy!

Although there are no high-grade ingredients in the things song Likun took out, most of the ingredients have reached the middle grade. Even if Gu Zheng now has an empty treasure, medium-grade ingredients are not scarce, who would be too many such things as resources? What's more, it's an up-to-date resource!

"You,"

Gu Zheng didn't know what to say. He was obviously different from Song Xiu and song Bai.

"As the saying goes, a good horse with a good saddle can win song Xiu. These ingredients are in your hands, and I believe they can bloom their flavor. If you want to get them, you beat me on my specialty, which convinced me that I lost and relieved me. It relieved me that I finally entrusted such good ingredients to someone worthy of trust."

Song Likun gave a loud voice and said solemnly, "you must win me, or I will be disappointed!"

"Good!"

Gu Zheng nodded solemnly and respected song Likun more.

"Although you don't ask for my bet, I still put the set of fairy kitchenware on it. If I lose, I don't want the set of fairy kitchenware either." Gu Zheng said.

"No, it's nothing to win or lose at one time. I don't think anyone is more suitable for this set of fairy kitchen utensils than you. Forget it, I don't want your bet, let's start!" song Likun's attitude can't be refused.

"Promise, Gu Zheng, you don't take such a cheap!" Qi Ling said helplessly.

"Tool spirit, he makes me feel strange!" Gu argued.

"Why are there so many psychological burdens? He wants to fulfill you, and you can fulfill him. Accomplishment is a virtue! Wait, you go all out, don't use any magic, and win him with your real skills. It's also an embodiment of your strength!"

Gu Zheng's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Although Qi Ling's words were no problem, they always made him feel speechless! This feeling also appeared in Shushan kitchen. It seems that under some special circumstances, Qiling hopes that he can defeat other chefs without using magic.

"It's reasonable to say that it's a matter of course for the tool spirit to win by using magic. After all, it's all the means of Lord tie Xian. But on some special occasions, how can she always feel that she's inducing me not to use magic? Just like what she needs me to show is a kind of self-confidence and an attitude of contempt for my opponent! What's more, if she's not inducing me, she told me not to use magic Winning with magic should not be said to be a manifestation of my strength. It should be said to be my respect for song Likun! "

Gu Zheng shook his head and stopped thinking. Anyway, he sometimes couldn't figure out what was thinking in the melon seeds of Qi Ling's small head.

"OK, in that case, I'll take the beauty of song kitchen." Gu Zheng said.

"That's right, let's start!" song Likun smiled.

Sauerkraut is white. From the appearance, it looks like the first buds of ferns.

The edible orchid's rhizome is a bulb, which is big like sweet potato. Cut it into thick, thin and medium slices, and then clip it into Xianyun pork. While absorbing excess oil, the orchid itself will become fragrant, soft and charming.

"Sauerkraut with orchid slices" is quite troublesome to make. Saute the sauerkraut in this dish first, then add the prepared soup and stew it for a while, and put it aside for standby.

The processing of orchid slices is relatively simple. You only need to wash and cut them into pieces and clip them in front of Xianyun pork cage.

As for Xianyun pork, it is the streaky pork on Xianyun pig. After preliminary hair removal and blood stain removal, it is boiled in cold water for a period of time, and then fished out to prick holes in the pig skin, so as to make the loose skin effect better.

On the punctured Xianyun pork, evenly wipe the adjusted juice. When the juice is dry, put it into the oil pan, fry the Xianyun pork until the pigskin changes color, and then soak it in cold water to make the pigskin loose.

Spread the sauce made of tofu milk, soy sauce and spices evenly on the sliced Xianyun pork. Add a piece of orchid between each piece of Xianyun pork and put it upside down in a bowl. Cover it with a layer of sauteed snow vegetables. After steaming in a cage, buckle it upside down on the plate when it comes out of the pot, and a "sauteed orchid meat" is even done.

Gu Zheng doesn't use magic. His advantage lies in the matching of food grade, the understanding of food materials, and the ability to feel the trace substances that play a bad role in food materials.

Xianyun pork is a medium-sized food, and LAN Pian and sauerkraut are also medium-sized food. As for the grade of auxiliary materials, they are all too low, not even reaching the ordinary level. For these auxiliary materials, unless they are particularly important, they will not be used if they can be used.

After washing, the sauerkraut was quickly fried and put aside for standby. The orchid slices had been cut, and the Xianyun pork had been almost cooked. Gu Zheng fished it out, and then pricked dense holes in it with a thin bamboo stick.

Gu Zheng evenly smeared the mixed juice on Xianyun pork. Up to this step, Gu Zheng's practice began to be significantly different from that of song Likun.

Song Likun's sauce used a lot of things. Gu Zheng's sauce was just the fusion of rice vinegar and soy sauce.

"Ancient leader, why did you only use rice vinegar and soy sauce?" song Likun asked.

"There are good and bad ingredients, which song kitchen must also understand. Some of the spices you use don't match Xianyun pork in the level of ingredients. Using them will also play some good roles, but without them, you can highlight the taste of the ingredients themselves."

Hearing Gu Zheng's words, song Likun frowned and thought.

The juice on the meat has dried up, and song Likun has put the meat into the pot. Because there are small holes in the meat, while the slight explosion sounds from time to time, the unique smell of fried meat wafts out.

"Zizi Lala!"

On the contrary, in the pot over there, there was not Xianyun pork, but some excess oil when Gu Zheng treated Xianyun pork.

In the production of "sauerkraut sliced pork", the oil used to fry Xianyun pork is placed on the chopping board. Although the oil used in ancient times is not the kind placed on the chopping board, it is not illegal. After all, it comes from the leftover material from the segmentation of streaky pork.

"Ancient leader, do you want Xianyun lard? The meat of Xianyun pig is delicious, but the oil is a little tired!" song Likun kindly reminded.

In fact, Xianyun lard is greasy because it is too fragrant. It feels too fragrant. Therefore, when cooking Xianyun pork, chefs do a good job in removing oil, whether it's "sauce three immortals" or now "sauerkraut sliced pork".

"Thank you for reminding me, but since I have done so, I naturally have the reason to do so." Gu Zheng smiled.

The reason why Xianyun lard is too greasy is that it contains a trace of "fragrance". Most people naturally can't find and remove this trace, but it's not a thing for Gu Zheng! When compared with song Xiu as the "three immortals in sauce", Gu Zheng used the same method to remove incense. This is one reason why female Xiu and Luo Jin unanimously agreed that the meat flavor of Gu Zheng's "three immortals in sauce" is better.

Although Gu Zheng doesn't boil much oil, it's enough to make do with frying a Xianyun pork.

When Xianyun pork was put into the pot, there was also a slight explosion, but all the chefs in the kitchen gently raised their noses.

"How fragrant!"

"Fragrant but not greasy fragrance, why is it like this?"

"This is Xianyun lard, but why doesn't it feel greasy?"

"If I didn't see with my own eyes that the ancient leader used Xianyun lard, I would doubt whether it was Xianyun lard!"

"How did the ancient leader remove the fragrance from the oil? I saw him scoop out some of the oil before. Is that the secret?"

Everyone is a cook. Soon a cook surnamed Li found the problem. Then he went straight to Gu Zheng, squatted down regardless of his identity and sniffed deeply at the trash can.

"Sneeze!"

After smelling the garbage can, Li Chu couldn't help sneezing loudly, but his expression was very excited: "yes, yes! Here is the oil scooped out by the ancient leader. Smelling deeply, it was fragrant and choking!"

"Ancient leader, how did you do it?"

Almost all chefs speak at the same time. In their view, this is impossible.

"Use your heart to understand and cook every kind of food. You will find something you can't find before."

Gu Zheng has an unfathomable expression. When he speaks, even his eyes become a little floating. It seems that he can see the clouds in the sky through the roof.

"Well!"

Several chefs said the same words thoughtfully, and their eyes turned to the place Gu Zheng saw, but they couldn't see anything except the dark roof.

In the process of frying pork, Gu Zheng also used stupid methods to remove some aroma substances in the meat, and then quickly put it into cold water. Due to the effect of heat expansion and cold contraction, the fried pig skin quickly changed into a loose skin shape with a sense of expansion, which looks very beautiful.

In traditional practice, this process takes a lot of time, but song Likun and Gu Zheng are not ordinary chefs. They greatly save this time by processing Xianyun pork internally.

During the time of soaking pork, Gu Zheng and song Likun began to make sauce.

The sauce made by song Likun uses sugar, salt, big meal, oil consumption, soy sauce and tofu milk. The sauce made by Gu Zheng only uses soy sauce, salt, sugar and tofu milk.

Making the selected excipients into paste, Gu Zheng and song Likun did not just wipe them on the meat slices, but used internal force to promote the uniform absorption of the meat slices. After finishing this step, they put the meat slices into a bowl, sandwiched the orchid slices in the meat slices, covered the snow cabbage on it, and steamed it on the cage.

"Ancient leader, in addition to using a little less accessories and using Xianyun pork to fry pork, the only thing that makes me see the difference is that you have a little more soup for frying snow cabbage, and you pour all the more soup on the meat."

Song Likun gave a sound and then added, "also, you seem to use more sugar than I do."

"In fact, not only that, but also the blue film has been processed." Gu Zheng smiled.

"Lan Pian? LAN Pian contains a lot of starch. Excessive washing will reduce the starch and make its taste brittle. In this' sauerkraut LAN Pian braised meat ', LAN Pian tastes delicious only if it is soft!"

Song Likun frowned. When Gu Zheng was washing orchid films, he was busy. He just glanced at it in a hurry.

"Song Chu, although the ancient leader spent a lot of time washing orchid slices, it's very strange that the water he used to wash orchid slices almost didn't turn white. Originally, I thought it was because the orchid slices used by the ancient leader had less starch content. But after smelling the garbage can, I thought the ancient leader also treated the orchid slices with his heart." when Li Chu spoke, His expression was solemn and solemn.

"It seems that there are many different places, which makes me look forward to the ancient leader's' sauerkraut sliced pork 'more and more." song Likun smiled.

During the steaming process, Gu Zheng had a chat with song Likun, and soon it was time for the "sauerkraut sliced pork" to come out of the pot.

"Ancient leader, the dishes are about to come out of the pot. It's time for you to choose a judge," song Likun reminded.

"Just you!"

Gu Zheng smiled at kitchen Li who had smelled the trash can.

"Ah?"

Li Chu was obviously surprised to be selected as a judge by Gu Zheng, but his surprise was only a moment.

"Well, well, I've been greedy for the 'sauerkraut sliced pork' made by the ancient leader and the song chef for a long time! The ancient leader and the song chef can rest assured that as a judge, my speech is absolutely worthy of my conscience." Li chef said solemnly.

"Let's go!"

Song Likun nodded with Gu Zheng and said the same thing.

Two plates of steaming 'sauerkraut sliced pork' were placed on the table. When chef Li looked at it, he said: "the 'sauerkraut sliced pork' requires the whole to be round, the orchid sliced pork and the meat sliced pork are integrated, the sauerkraut at the bottom does not leak, and the plate does not overflow juice. In terms of color, the 'sauerkraut sliced pork' made by the ancient leader and the song kitchen is the same."

"In terms of incense, the 'sauerkraut and orchid slices with meat' made by the ancient leader is better. As for the difference, cook song will understand after smelling it. It's really difficult to describe."

Having said sexiang, chef Li couldn't wait to put a piece of meat in his mouth.

Usually, when others eat the food made by Gu Zheng, their first reaction is to open their eyes, but this chef Li is different. He closes his eyes at the first time, and then chews it intoxicatingly.

After eating a mouthful of meat, chef Li swallowed saliva again. The second time he moved chopsticks, he added LAN pian.

Li Chu, who had eaten orchid slices, was still in no hurry to open his mouth. He took another snow vegetable under a chopstick plate and put it into his mouth with his eyes closed.

But this time, with his eyes closed, Li Chu's expression was no longer intoxicated, but frowned very tightly, and his chewing speed slowed down a lot, as if he was tasting carefully.

Finally, chef Li swallowed the snow vegetables in his mouth. While holding out his thumb to Gu Zheng, he said four words with great emotion - it's delicious!

"Chef song, the 'sauerkraut with orchid slices' you made is a common finale dish at our Kunlun sect banquet. I haven't tried this dish 50 times, at least 30 times?"

Facing Li Chu's inquiry, song Likun nodded.

"Song kitchen's' sauerkraut with orchid slices' can be used as the final dish at our Kunlun sect banquet. How it tastes has been unanimously affirmed by everyone!"

Li Chu's voice was a meal, and a trace of apology appeared on his face: "however, if there is no major breakthrough in the 'sauerkraut sliced pork' made by song Chu today, you will lose."

After Li Chu finished, he picked up his chopsticks and began to taste song Likun's "sauerkraut sliced pork.".

Although chef Li is still tasting with his eyes closed, the intoxication on his face is gone, especially when he eats snow vegetables, he even has a slight regret.

"Song Chu, you lost."

Cook Li shook his head at Song Likun.

"Good!"

Song Likun was not lost, but applauded.

"If I lose, it means that the ancient leader didn't disappoint me!"

Song Likun laughed, picked up his chopsticks and began to taste Gu Zheng's "sauerkraut with orchid slices.".
