1941 Yuan family's dishes
“But blockhead, why do so many children have to prepare gifts for you? did you do something that you didn’t tell me?” Yin ya slightly tilted her head and asked.
“I just donated some money to the school. Didn’t Xiaoya donate some money as well?” Yuan Zhou didn’t feel that he had done anything great, but the child’s kind intentions should be cherished.
“So it’s like this.” Yin ya nodded her head in understanding.
Ever since she got together with Yuan Zhou, Yin ya knew that Yuan Zhou had secretly adopted quite a number of pandas. Therefore, she wasn’t surprised at all that Yuan Zhou would donate a sum of money to the schools in Shanghai. However, Yin ya still didn’t know that Yuan Zhou meant a sum of money every month. There had never been a time when he didn’t donate.
Time passed very quickly. Although Yuan Zhou was very reluctant to see her off, he still sent her to the airport. For this reason, the lunch time was delayed by half an hour.
Previously, Yuan Zhou had wanted to make the family milk tea before Yin ya left. However, the roast pig was stuck at a bottleneck and he felt that the taste was lacking. Therefore, he had not submitted the mission to receive the reward.
Although she didn’t have milk tea, Yuan Zhou still prepared various snacks, essential Chinese New Year goods, and cured meat sausages for her, which could still be carried by domestic airlines.
Apart from that, there were also Yuan Zhou’s specially made dried fruits, pecans, pistachios, etc. For Yin ya to eat and play on the way.
Compared to usual, although Taoxi road was still lively, there were a lot fewer people, because those who were supposed to be on holiday were all on holiday.
“I’ve been working outside all year round and finally have a holiday. I must come here to eat the delicacies cooked by boss Yuan and feel that my life is complete. I must line up at night. “
These were the original words of Zhang Bingxin who had returned to Chengdu from Shanghai at noon. Yuan Zhou remembered this person. Last year, when they were also going to celebrate the new year, Zhang Bingxin had also said this exaggeratedly when she was passing by. She even said that she would come and line up in the evening. After that … There was no more.
As expected, Zhang Bingxin was really just saying that. She didn’t come at night.
100 new year goods were sold every day. Therefore, in addition to the busy preparation, Yuan Zhou temporarily gave up his cutting skills in his spare time and continued to experiment with the roast suckling pig.
“It feels different to complete this mission before the new year.” Yuan Zhou said. He had been eating the roasted suckling pig cooked by himself yesterday and the day before yesterday.
The Cantonese-style roasted suckling pig was not just simply roasted. It was just overcooked. Most of the time, it was steamed, and during the process, the pig skin was pricked with needles, and oil and sauce were poured.
The final product, the roasted suckling pig, was very fragrant and the meat was soft and tender, but it was also a fact that it was not crispy enough.
“I do understand the Guangdong province’s method of steaming after roasting. This is to ensure the tenderness of the pork to the greatest extent. But is there any way to achieve this level with roasting?” It couldn’t be said to be a sudden idea, but it was the direction that Yuan Zhou was working hard towards.
“To reach this step, the main thing is to control the fire. It’s extremely difficult to control the fire, so it’s basically impossible.”
It was more than 10 Jin of meat, not a barbecue. If Yuan Zhou told others about his idea, they might think that Yuan Zhou was just daydreaming.
“System, prepare the ingredients for the roast pig. I think I can do it again.” Yuan Zhou said.
[Yes, master host.] The system displayed.
Taking the suckling pig released by the system, Yuan Zhou began to degroom and marinate it in a familiar manner. As it was directly roasted over fire, he added the well-prepared honey when he brushed it. Of course, there was definitely more than honey in it.
The sauce was specially prepared by Yuan Zhou. From the proportion of taste to the viscosity, it had been adjusted several times and improved several times before it was finally confirmed.
Nowadays, many roast suckling pigs appeared as sacrificial offerings. The shape was always maintained as a whole pig.”Whole” was the basic of sacrificial offerings. For the sake of taste, Yuan Zhou felt that it could be changed.
The main reason was that the fire used for different parts of the suckling pig was actually different. For example, the fire used for pig trotters and the dried pork were definitely different.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou used the cutting skill that was similar to how a butcher dismembered a cow,”Yuan Zhou dismembered a pig”.
Then, it was a little similar to the roasting of golden birds. First, the pig skin was tightened with an open fire, and a special sauce was applied. Then, the parts were put into the oven one after another.
“There shouldn’t be any problems this time.” Yuan Zhou stared at the roast suckling pig in the oven and counted the time.
Once the time was up, Yuan Zhou took out the roast suckling pig directly and put it into a special super large oval plate to piece the whole suckling pig together. It was almost invisible from the outside. This was the work of cutting.
To put it bluntly, in the past, the dishes used to measure cutting skills were chrysanthemum tofu and Wensi tofu. Now, Yuan style roasted suckling pig was added, because just this skill alone …
“I don’t think more than 90% of the chefs can do it.” Yuan Zhou pondered.
You’re too kind. It should be impossible even for a 99.9% success rate.
Yuan Zhou had made it by accident. In the future, many chefs in the kitchen altar had only wanted to make Yuan-style roast suckling pig in the final season of the knife skills examination.
“Congratulations to the host for completing the second stage of the quiz.” The system suddenly displayed.
“It’s already done? Indeed, it’s almost time. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
With Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills, he already had a clear concept of whether he could complete the mission or not. After several days of hard work, he finally developed a dish that belonged to him.
“I’ll take a look at the mission situation. ” Yuan Zhou muttered in the heart.
“[Second stage of the quiz 1] create Yuan’s style of roast pig. (Completed)
[Test description] Jin hai was able to create a golden bird-style roast suckling pig through roasting golden birds. As the future God of Cooking, he can’t fall behind.
[Test reward] milk tea gift pack (available to be received)”
“I won’t collect it yet. I’ll collect it after the new year. It’s a good opportunity for the new year. Give the store some drinks.” Yuan Zhou pondered.
“Master host] you have successfully completed the yuan family’s roast suckling pig and unlocked the ‘Yuan family dish-menu’. Would you like to add the yuan family’s roast suckling pig into the menu?” It was rare for the system to display a long string of words during non-scientific time.
“Continue licking.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then said.
The system displayed,”host, please set the price.”
” 2666 it is.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while. Needless to say, the suckling pig provided by the system was definitely the best. Therefore, the price was reasonable.
The system displayed,”it’s done.”
Seeing that it was still early, Yuan Zhou left the backyard and planned to check the yuan family’s menu in the restaurant.
When Yuan Zhou walked into the restaurant, the menu was still quietly placed on the table, as if nothing had happened.
He walked over, took a book and flipped to the last page directly. Yuan Zhou felt that the new dish should be on the last page, which was what he did when he added other cuisines before.
However, Yuan Zhou miscalculated this time. When he flipped to the last page, he saw the dishes clearly written on it, such as braised sea cucumber with scallion, braised pork trotter with scallion and so on. It was obviously a Shandong cuisine.
“Could it be in front?” While guessing, Yuan Zhou’s hands didn’t slow down. He directly turned to the first page and intended to read it from the beginning.
At first glance, Yuan Zhou saw the words “Yuan family’s dishes” in cursive font. He didn’t know what kind of font it was. He didn’t know much about writing, but it looked very nice.
There was only one empty dish below,”Yuan’s roast suckling pig”, 2666 per serving.
