Chapter 318 Sea Cucumber(1/2)

Since I had to eat the double crab bun made by Zheng Siyuan in the afternoon and practice crab roe mayonnaise at the same time, Qin Huai moved his time to noon.

Noon time is the time for Cao Guixiang to watch TV. As an old lady who is sleepy, Cao Guixiang does not have the habit of taking a nap. Online classes at noon did not delay Cao Guixiang's watching TV. Zhang Chu also made a wooden mobile phone stand for Cao Guixiang, so that Cao Guixiang could use the corner of her eyes to scan the screen of the mobile phone while watching TV, so that entertainment and teaching will not be delayed.

Because of the camera, Cao Guixiang appeared on the side, and she could also see Zhang Chu sitting on Cao Guixiang while eating melon seeds while watching TV.

Qinhuai is still cutting radishes.

Radish is a very suitable ingredient for practicing knife skills. It is cheap and low-cost. In Cao Guixiang's words, every beginner who practices knife skills starts with cutting radish until he vomits. When they don't need to cut radish, they will feel a little reluctant to cut other ingredients because they have cut radish and have a feeling.

Qinhuai has not developed any relationship with Radish at present.

On the contrary, An Youyou and Radish Cake have cultivated a deep relationship. Now, except for money, the most important thing An Youyou cannot lose is the title of Radish Cake Sister.

Zheng Siyuan is kneading the dough.

It is not a noodles with double crab bread, but a noodles with three-die bread and wine-stewed steamed buns.

Since Master Zheng made a brilliant debut, the three-die buns and wine-stewed buns in Yunzhong Canteen have been basically handed over to Zheng Siyuan. Master Qin, who is fond of the new and old, has a lot of snacks to make, and doesn't have much time to allocate them to these two old lovers.

Master Zheng likes it.

Zheng Siyuan originally liked to make only a few snacks all year round. The ones she made the most were shortbread cakes, Dingsheng cakes and fresh meat mooncakes. These three were the ace snacks in his pastry shop. Now the three snacks she made the most have become Sandbun, wine-stewed steamed buns and fresh meat mooncakes, shortbread cakes and Dingsheng cakes are all ranked behind.

"Xiao Qin, I thought about the double crab bun you said last night for a day today, but I didn't think of anything." Cao Guixiang watched TV and suddenly said something without any end, "It's a bit too in line with our cooking philosophy."

Qin Huai didn't expect Cao Guixiang to talk about the concept. She was a little surprised and looked up at the screen of the phone: "What does it mean?"

"This ingredients are amazing," said Cao Guixiang. "In the words of "Suiyuan Food List": everything must be cooked. I don't remember the long list of words after that. It roughly means that light dishes should be matched with light ingredients, strong dishes should be matched with strong ingredients, and soft dishes should be matched with soft ingredients."

"You said before that Master Huang had let you know the ingredients for a few days before teaching you to make crab roe and roasted wheat. This is a normal process for chefs to learn cooking. You must first be familiar with the ingredients and know what ingredients are suitable for matching them, so that you can have the concept of cooking, have ideas, have clearer directions of seasoning, and make good dishes."

"Foods with too strong taste are usually only suitable for eating alone. It's not that beef and mutton can only be roasted alone. Yuan Mei thinks that these foods with strong taste have outstanding advantages and disadvantages. They need to be mixed with five flavors and carefully prepared to leave behind delicious food and remove the disadvantages. In this case, there is no leisure and elegance to consider what ingredients they should match. Pairing the ingredients means giving up some."

"But this is just Yuan Mei's personal opinion. He dislikes sea cucumber with turtles and crab noodles with shark fins. However, crab noodles with shark fins are a famous dish. People who like to eat are countless like crucian carp, which shows that the ingredients are not absolutely possible and absolutely not possible in matching them. It mainly depends on how the chef operates them."

"But I really haven't heard of crab roe with sea cucumbers."

"I am also a chef who is very good at cooking sea cucumber dishes. Sea cucumbers are difficult to cook. They have no taste, are full of mud and have a strong fishy smell, and cannot be cooked separately in clear soup. The process of processing is extremely troublesome."

"It is necessary to soak it in clean water to remove the mud and sand. It usually takes some effort to get rid of its fishy smell. For example, boil it with boiling broth three times, and then use chicken soup and broth until it is cooked. Not to mention that it is difficult to cook sea cucumbers. I usually cook sea cucumber dishes a day in advance during festivals. Even if it is made with cold sea cucumbers, I have to cook cold with a sauce with a strong taste."

"I really can't imagine what kind of magical combination this is such a difficult food to handle and pair with fresh crab roe."

"The chef who created this dim sum recipe must be a seasoning master. Ordinary chefs will be enough to make them feel overwhelmed, not to mention that they are still 1+1>2 now."

"Xiao Qin, have you ever cooked sea cucumber dishes?" Cao Guixiang asked Qin Huai.

Qin Huai knew that it was very difficult to season the double crab bag, and he had heard many people say it. Whether it was Huang Shengli, Zheng Da or Zheng Siyuan, when he learned that Qin Huai wanted to learn the double crab bag, the first thing he emphasized to him was that the double crab bag was very difficult to make and the seasoning was extremely difficult. If he lost a slight difference, he would be a big mistake on the spot.

However, Qin Huai is best at seasoning from beginning to end, and seasoning is also his fastest skill to upgrade to the master level. After being promoted to the master level, Qin Huai has a lot of feelings about seasoning. In addition, he is born with a good tongue, Qin Huai is actually quite confident in himself before hearing Cao Guixiang say this.

Although he had never eaten double crab bags, nor made double crab bags, and had just simply seen the recipe given to him by Mr. Wang, Qin Huai felt that he could do it.

Don't ask, asking means being confident.

After hearing what Cao Guixiang said, Qin Huai's confidence was slightly weakened.

"Is five-Dibaobao totally?" Qin Huai asked.

Cao Guixiang shook her head: "What kind of sea cucumber dish is that? It can only be regarded as a dish that uses sea cucumbers. Sea cucumbers are not the protagonists or the main ingredients. They are used to assist."

Qinhuai:...

Cao Guixiang showed an inquiry expression, stared at Qin Huai at the screen of her phone, and asked curiously: "Are you scared?"

Qin Huai shook his head: "Although you and others all said that the double crab bags were very scary, I didn't even try it. If I were afraid first, it would be a bit embarrassing."

"I have to do it first to know how difficult it is. Can I be afraid of my current level?"

Cao Guixiang laughed so hard that the folds in the corners of her eyes came out: "It's a pity that I have retired for decades. Otherwise, if I had met you a few decades earlier, I would have accepted you as my apprentice and let you learn red and white cases. You are so fond of me! If my second senior brother meets you, he would have accepted you as his apprentice."

Qin Huai just regarded this sentence as Cao Guixiang's highest praise to him, and smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, you are a chef after all. Today, you have been practicing knife skills for an hour, so let's get to this place first." Cao Guixiang turned off the TV directly, and Zhang Chu, who was shocked, opened his eyes wide, and his face was full of wives. If you don't watch TV, I will watch it.

Qinhuai:?

"Since you want to make double crab bags, you should have bought sea cucumbers, right?" Cao Guixiang asked.

Qin Huai nodded: "I bought it, I bought a lot. But it is not a very good sea cucumber. Zheng Siyuan said that the double crab bag does not have very high requirements for the quality of sea cucumbers."

"Normal, sea cucumbers have no taste, and they provide a soft and glutinous texture. The focus of the double crab bag is definitely on crab roe."

"We won't practice knife skills in the next time. I'll take you to know and familiarize yourself with the ingredients of sea cucumber."

"Although I have been retired for decades, during my time as a chef, the most I cooked every day were sea cucumber dishes and shark fin dishes. Sometimes I really don't understand what these two dishes are delicious. The ingredients that give them taste never are the ingredients themselves, but the various stocks I hang on. These two ingredients are expensive and troublesome to deal with, but the guests at that time just like to eat them. The more expensive they are, the more they like to eat them, it's really impossible."

"At that time, the restaurant had to book the big dishes in advance. Sometimes when I looked at the reservation menu, all the braised shark fins, crab roe shark fins, three-slide shark fins, casserole shark fins, stewed shark fins, thick soup shark fins, sea stewed shark fins, sea crumbs, cold sea cucumbers, big black ginseng, and shredded chicken sea cucumber soup. I was very good at chicken, duck and fish meat. My firewood duck and Wanfu meat were not bad, but there were no customers to order it."

Cao Guixiang's stolen name of the dish made Qin Huai stupid. After listening to it, Qin Huai had only one thought in his mind:

Sure enough, high-end Versailles only requires a simple registration for the dish.

These dishes are very expensive at first glance.

Zhang Chu was hungry all around, and when he didn't watch Zhang Chu, he wanted to eat something good: "Guixiang, have you been free these two days? If you have time, make chicken silk sea cucumber soup. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Didn't Xiao Qin also want to make sea cucumber snacks? Teach him by the way when you make it."

Zhang Chu is still a little anxious when it comes to eating.

Cao Guixiang didn't care, and nodded: "Okay, call the children over in two days and weekends, I'll make a good meal."

Qinhuai thought of going back to Qiu County on weekends when he heard this.

Cao Guixiang said that she wanted to teach Qinhuai to know sea cucumbers. Qinhuai even stopped practicing knife skills after cutting the last radish on hand and instead went to get sea cucumbers.

Some of the sea cucumbers, Zheng Siyuan, had already processed them yesterday. As Cao Guixiang said, sea cucumbers are very difficult to deal with. They need to soak in clean water for a long time and use various methods to remove the fishy smell. During the cooking process, time is required to overcome its difficult weakness of being hard to soften, and finally you will get an ingredient that has no taste and tastes unique and very soft.

Sea cucumbers have never been a home-cooked dish because it is so tiring to cook them at home.

Cao Guixiang asked Qin Huai to compare the untreated sea cucumbers with the sea cucumbers processed by Zheng Siyuan, and then explained the characteristics of sea cucumbers to Qin Huai, and match them with their normal ingredients and cooking methods.

Simply put, it is to pile up materials and take time to chew this hard-to-kill hard bone.

Cao Guixiangguang gave a lecture for more than 20 minutes, and he carefully divided it step by step, so that Qinhuai fully understood how creative it is to use sea cucumbers as the main ingredient of buns.

Then Cao Guixiang affirmed Zheng Siyuan's treatment and said that the sea cucumbers that Zheng Siyuan treated were very beautiful and beautiful.

Zheng Siyuan, who was kneading the dough, couldn't help but straighten his back.

Finally, Cao Guixiang asked Qin Huai to try it out by himself.

It doesn’t matter if it’s screwed up. It’s because cheap sea cucumbers are not expensive. If they really don’t work, you can use mustard and chicken sauce to make cold sea cucumbers, which can be eaten.

Master Cao has prescriptions here.

Qin Huai felt that he was back when he had just learned crab roe and roasted wheat.

Because he doesn't understand or understands the ingredients, he cannot learn to make snacks as soon as he gets started, but starts from the most basic familiarity with the ingredients and processing the ingredients.

Just like when he was learning crab roe and roasted mai, he had a very careful and patient master beside him. He corrected him in time when problems arise, and simply corrected him without any accusation.

Even if this problem is very common sense, it will become a problem that individuals will make in the mouth of this careful and patient master. It is normal for you to have such a problem. It only takes one time to correct this problem. Remember it twice, and three times to show that this problem has been found correctly. You are not good at this aspect and we can learn more and correct it.

Although Cao Guixiang said that she had never accepted an apprentice and did not dare to accept an apprentice for fear of misleading people's children, Qin Huai felt that if Cao Guixiang became a master, she would definitely be a good master.

A master as good as Huang Shengli.

It was already 2:46 pm when Qinhuai finished learning sea cucumbers.

It’s not that Qin Huai has learned it thoroughly, but that Cao Guixiang is time to go out to chat with her good sisters in the park.

"Xiao Qin has come to Qiuxian after you finish practicing the radish. Don't forget to make a double crab bag for you Master Cao and Grandpa Zhang. I am really curious about what this bun tastes like." Cao Guixiang got up and took the canvas bag and said as she walked.

"It must be, at the speed of my practice, maybe I haven't learned the double crab buns at that time." Qin Huai smiled bitterly.

"I didn't learn it better. I'll make more for you Grandpa Zhang. Next time he buys vegetables and makes the wrong buy, let him eat the double crab bag you made every morning."

"It must be very unpalatable if you haven't learned it well."

Qin Huai was amused by Cao Guixiang and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only smile and say, "Then I must do more, do it for half a month!"

"Make it well, please send me any questions about seasoning. Although I don't know how to use Master Cao, I still have the seasoning level, and maybe I can give you some advice." Cao Guixiang hung up the video call and went out to visit the park.

Qin Huai also put up the newly processed sea cucumbers and prepared to make cold sea cucumbers according to the recipe given by Cao Guixiang later, and wash their hands to watch Zheng Siyuan make double crab bags.

Zheng Siyuan's noodles have been kneaded and is dealing with sea cucumbers.

He was frying sea cucumbers.

This magical way of treating ingredients surprised Qin Huai. Although he didn't know much about sea cucumber, he had just taken an urgent class for more than an hour.

Cao Guixiang didn't say this.

The sea cucumbers that Cao Guixiang talked about were either braised, simmered in broth, or cold-smoked. The main cooking methods were braised, stewed and stewed.

What is the new model of this blowout?

This snack is too creative.

The most important thing is that the prescription given by Mr. Wang did not say that he wanted to fried sea cucumbers.

Could it be that Zheng Siyuan made a decision that violated his ancestors?

Qin Huai approached in shock and asked, "Why do you want to fried sea cucumbers?"
