Chapter 110 The Secret in the Lobster Ask for support!)
"You have to win first."
Finally, the picture was revealed, and the man Huailiang began to be too lazy to disguise: "If you lose, according to the principle of fairness, today's chef will be you.
I want to eat secret egg cakes, I also want to eat green lotus root and jade porridge, I also want to eat braised and cooked! I have prepared all the ingredients for you! Humph, I couldn’t eat the porridge you made the day before yesterday..."
The morning before yesterday, he originally planned to go to the breakfast department to relive the delicious food, but because he received a notice from the Su Provincial Evaluation Committee, he asked as a judge that he must avoid suspicion.
This requirement is not only for Huailiangren. Before ending the review of Jiuzhou Dingshi, all judges must avoid suspicion!
Dong Qishen, chairman of the Su Provincial Cooking Association, was really depressed. What is this? Including him, there are only five judges who are qualified to review hotels above four-star ratings and above. Now four have become regular customers of the Jiuzhou Dingshi Breakfast Department?
If this continues, the impact will be very bad. Can other hotels have no objections? By then, the yellow mud falls into the crotch, and it will be either shit or shit.
Mr. Dong actually had something in his heart that he didn't say. If it weren't for the identity of the chairman of the Su Provincial Cooking Association, I would have wanted to try that kid's skills long ago. You guys are so good, can't you take into account my old man's feelings?
"Don't think about it, you can't eat anything."
Zhou Dong replied lightly, holding two glasses of white wine, shaking gently in his hand.
“As far as I know, Burgundy also has four regions that have a history of making white wines.
The white wines produced by BourgogneBlanc are the simplest. They are not aged in oak barrels and have a simple taste and can be ruled out first. Similar Chabley white wines even have a lime flavor that I don't like, and you won't use it to confuse me..."
After upgrading to the perfect level of taste, countless ingredients, dishes, drinks... related information appeared out of thin air in Zhou Dong's brain, forming a harmonious harmony with his taste buds. He no longer had to do his homework in advance and asked the doctor for advice.
Zhou Dong, who finally could ignore Du Niang, was inevitably a little proud, shaking the wine glass in his left hand and said: "The white wine produced in the Magong area is most likely to become your trap, because the high-priced Magong white is likely to be aged in oak barrels. As long as you put this kind of wine bottle with a metal spiral plug, it will be very deceptive.
For example, this cup should be a fine product among Magongbai, and it can be perfectly matched with any flavor of food, such as fish and shrimp?"
Huai Liangren's face finally changed. Today's plan was originally to treat him, but it was nothing to go to the kitchen for Zhou Dong, but the carefully arranged situation was cracked by Zhou Dong so easily, which made him really angry!
There is a kind of resentment that has given birth to Yu and He is reborn.
Zhou Dong shook the wine glass in his right hand: "To be honest, I was almost deceived by you just now. Fortunately, I was calm enough and rinsed my mouth with pure water.
I should choose it, Bernchulbai!
It is ‘born’ with a fresh aroma of white mushrooms and truffles. After aging with oak barrels, it also has the flavor of cinnamon, toasted almonds and toast. In Bernchurch, Melso produces the most complex and balanced Chardonnay grapes in the world. The white wine made from it is truly a perfect match for lobsters!”
Zhou Dong tasted it again before putting down the wine glass in his right hand and said, "Although it has been aged by oak barrels, it is still very 'young' than the famous red wines that are 'old'.
If it was a few years older, I might have chosen another bottle.
Because we all know that if it is combined with fish and shrimp, the "younger" top-grade white wine is actually the best choice.
Lao Huai, I finished speaking, when can I eat your lobster?"
Huai Liangren's mouth twitched a few times: "I'll do it now, you can wait!" After that, he left, as if he was in a hurry to escape from disaster.
Looking at the back of the legendary French cuisine genius leaving in a hurry, Dai Jun's mouth twitched clearly. This is Master Huai, and he lost to the young man in front of him who was wearing a pullover and big shorts, who seemed to be harmless in humans and animals?
He personally stripped the trademarks on the three bottles of white wine. He could guarantee that if he had not known in advance, even if he could barely distinguish Mutong, he would definitely not be able to distinguish Ma Gongbai and Born Qiubai.
You know, that bottle is a fine product among Ma Gongbai. It has also been brewed in oak barrels. Only experienced professional tasters can tell it.
Dai Jun laughed dryly, took out a gold card from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Dong: "Mr. Zhou, this is a 60% discount VIP card for our store. Please accept it with a smile. If a person like Mr. Zhou can become a distinguished customer of our store, it will be our honor."
"Yeah, thank you."
Zhou Dong did not refuse when he reached out to beat the smiling person, so he took the VIP card and put it in his pocket. Anyway, he would not come if no one treats such a expensive place. Even if it is 60% off, can these people eat what they cook?
Baked lobster with French cheese is a dish that needs to be eaten while it is hot and must be cooked and eaten immediately; and baked lobster made by Michelin three-star chefs will inevitably take more thought and time, which is incomparable to the things that French bake at home.
So after forty minutes, Huailiang appeared in front of Zhou Dong with his dinner plate in his hand.
"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
The man Huailiang smiled faintly and gently placed the silver plate covering the plate cover in front of Zhou Dong. The temporary worker waiter was about to help Zhou Dong lift the plate cover, but he stopped him with his eyes.
"Zhou Dong, before I start eating this dish, I should give you a tip.
This is not a simple baked lobster, on the contrary, it hides a secret, like a mysterious pyramid, waiting for the wise man to discover its story.
Of course, if you don’t have this ability, you can eat it all foolishly like an ordinary person and praise my skills, and I will be very happy..."
"I'm here again, I know it will be like this."
Zhou Dong glanced at Huailiangren. From the moment he invited him to dinner, he had planned these routines? It was really depressing. What are you, a Michelin three-star chef, and you are competing with me as an intern?
Even Dai Jun looked at Huailiangren with a strange look on his face. What's wrong with Master Huai? It's just a French baked lobster. To put it bluntly, it's just that you can put some effort into the quality of the lobster and the quality of the cheese.
Moreover, this dish is actually done in an oven. As long as you have a high-quality oven, high-quality ingredients and certain experience, even ordinary people can do it very well.
He even thought that in this dish, he might not be much worse than Master Huai. Or, the gap was just a Blue Belt Medal?
Zhou Dong shook his head and ignored Huai Liangren's combative half-blooded French rooster and lifted up the cover of the plate by himself.
When this dish appeared, Dai Jun and the temporary waiter immediately let out an uncontrollable scream, and even Zhou Dong's eyes paused slightly.
No wonder this guy is confident to challenge me, it turns out that he is really good at it.
On the silver dining plate with turquoise inlaid on the edge of the plate, a lobster with a lifelike expression appeared in front of everyone.
A few green seaweed leaves were placed around the shrimp body, and the strong marine style suddenly came to my face; at the shrimp head, two carefully selected small tomatoes were placed, just like the dragon-headed beads in Chinese mythology.
Zhou Dong nodded slightly. After all, he has Chinese descent. The dish of Huai Liangren intentionally combines Chinese elements.
What really surprised everyone was not the arrangement of this baked lobster, but the unique way of Huailiang’s handling of lobsters.
Baked lobsters are also considered to be the "big road product" in French food, and can be made in any French restaurant.
But 99% of the French restaurants are to break the shrimp head, then cut the lobster into half, pile the shrimp meat on the shrimp shell, and finally turn the shrimp tail into the direction of the shrimp head. If you are alone, it is many times worse than the Chinese squirrel mandarin fish.
Many proud foreign chefs always like to accuse the Chinese dishes of not good looks and cannot compare to the exquisite dishes of Michelin restaurants. These frogs in the well have never seen real Chinese dishes of dishes.
The squirrels and mandarin fish on the plate can scare them to death. If you don’t ask about the price, you will be scared to death if you ask about the price.
Huailiangren's baked lobster is actually complete. A lifelike lobster was grilled in golden red and lying on the plate, as if it was sleeping on the bottom of the water. You can't even see the common side dish onions and black pepper that many people can't accept.
Zhou Dong nodded: "I think very cleverly, it's really good."
When the man Huailiang smiled when he heard this, he was about to be proud, but he saw Zhou Dong picking up the knife and slashing from the neck to the tail of the shrimp, his eyes immediately condensed.
"This guy! How did he discover the secret in such a short time? I have covered it up very carefully!"
Huailiang's heart was moaning. Since he met Zhou Dong, he was always disappointed everywhere. I won't say that he chose white wine just now. You are a master of Baidu, you are awesome! But why is this time? He thought that this small problem would stump Zhou Dong for a while, but he didn't expect to be seen through at first sight.
Zhou Dong slashed it with a knife, then turned the back of the knife and tapped it gently at the connection between the neck and the tail of the lobster. The whole lobster seemed to be a prop in the magician's hand, and instantly separated from the middle line of the neck and tail to the sides. The snow-white shrimp meat wrapped in the hot air appeared in front of everyone.
"This is......"
Dai Jun shook his head and felt that the French baked lobsters he made must be fake!
How did Master Huai do it? He looked at Huai Liangren as if asking for help, but found that Huai Liangren was looking at Zhou Dong with bright eyes, as if waiting for an explanation.
Zhou Dong nodded: "It is indeed a very clever knife skill. After you unscrew the shrimp's neck, you should use a special knife to carve countless serrated blades on the shrimp's back from the inside to the outside, so that they bite each other like the zipper buckles of clothes.
This is a bit like the inner carving method I used in the white lotus root. You first take out the shrimp meat and then use the knife from the inside to the outside, but you can control the blade so that it will not completely break the lobster's skin. So if you don't look carefully, you will not be able to discover the mystery.
Although it is very clever, you can open it very easily as long as you know the trick.
This idea is very good. The process of opening the lobster shell is actually a kind of dining pleasure, right?"
Huai Liangren snorted coldly but did not answer.
He can't admit that he was indeed inspired by Zhou Dong, right?
Dai Jun was completely convinced by Zhou Dong at this time and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhou, but... But Master Huai didn't seem to use onions as side dishes, nor did he use black pepper? This is too strange."
Zhou Dong nodded and said, "It's really strange. The onions and black pepper that are necessary for baked French lobsters have been discarded and no longer used?
It seems that your real secret is actually about the shrimp meat treatment, right?"
Huai Liangren narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't worry, you will never understand."
Chapter completed!
