Reborn – Super Chef

Chapter 63 The Palace Eggplant

Because of the description of eggplant in Dream of Red Mansions, in the middle of the last life, Ye Chui saw many people trying to restore this delicacy. According to the steps mentioned by Sister Feng, the dish was indeed made, and the taste was absolutely good, but I am really picky about food and Those who know it understand that this kind of taste cannot be included in the imperial flavor level of the Manchu Banquet, so there must be something missing.

But what is missing? It took Ye Chui a lot of time to really understand the mystery inside.

This dish needs a "finishing touch" thing, that thing is the most important thing, and this thing will take at least seven days to complete.

In the afternoon, Ye Chui and Han Yuyan ran around the nearby vegetable market and began to purchase ingredients for this dish. In addition to eggplant and chicken, there are two other most important things that are mushrooms and dried fruits. The two-flavored ingredients are the top priority to ensure the delicious taste of this dish.

As for what kind of mushrooms and dried fruits to choose to make the best delicious taste, Sister Feng didn’t say anything clearly in that passage. After research, Ye Chui has mastered the most perfect matching method: mushrooms should choose king oyster mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and dried shiitake mushrooms, and dried fruits should choose cashew nuts, northern almonds, and hazelnuts.

Each of these things also needs to be carefully selected. Selecting ingredients is also a kind of technical work, and it is very time-consuming. Ye Chui is also experienced in choosing ingredients, but even so he spent three or four hours. After selecting these things one by one, Han Yuyan, who was following behind him, was already impatient and wanted to strike.

It is said that shopping with a woman is a very tiring job, but today sister Han Yuyan finally understands that it is really the most tiring thing to go shopping with a cook like Ye Chui. She doesn't understand, a pile of dried shiitake mushrooms Are they all about the same size and shape so you can pick them one by one? The most outrageous thing is the mallet-shaped Pleurotus eryngii. Ye Chui held two of them in front of Han Yuyan like a beauty pageant and asked her which of the two is more beautiful...

In addition to these ingredients, dried fragrant and new bamboo shoots also need to be carefully selected. Of course, the most important ingredients are eggplant and chicken. For eggplant, choose round eggplant, which must have a bright skin and soft touch. As for the chicken, it is not necessary to specialize in chicken The freshly slaughtered live chickens are selected at the farm, but there can be no mistakes in the selection. Ye Chui bought five white-striped broilers in one go, and the other parts of the eggplant dish are not used, except for the chicken breast.

After picking out the ingredients, Ye Chui took Han Yuyan to the nearby ceramic market and carefully selected a one-foot-high clay pot. This thing is the most important utensil for brewing the missing "finishing touch" substance in eggplant. .

In the end, Ye Chui carried the chickens, and Han Yuyan followed Ye Chui, carrying clay pots and a bunch of ingredients in plastic bags. She kept thinking, this sister is exhausted. , Complaining to Ye Chui: "Master, do you choose the ingredients for cooking like this? I think they all taste the same."

"There is almost a difference. The taste of the ingredients is a little bit worse, and the difference in making a dish can be infinitely magnified, and even become a difference between heaven and earth." Ye Chui turned his head and said to Han Yuyan meaningfully, "I just I wonder, are you the granddaughter of Mr. Han? Mr. Han must understand this truth the most."

Han Yuyan pouted, carried the things into the kitchen, sat down on the chair while rubbing his sore shoulders: "Why do I feel that Master, you seem to be pulling me to do coolies?"

Hearing what Han Yuyan said, Ye Chui laughed immediately: "How can I bring all these things back? I'm just pulling you to be a coolie... Otherwise, what do you think?"

Han Yuyan: "..."

Seeing this sister looking like she was going to run away, Ye Chui quickly put on a defensive look: "Why, are you going to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors? By the way, you were sweating from walking outside for so long, why don't you take a bath first? ?"

Girls still like to be clean after all, Han Yuyan really felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what Ye Chui said, turned around and ran upstairs after glaring at Ye Chui.

Ye Chui smiled, and started to prepare the ingredients. The things I bought at the vegetable market just now were bought in several copies. It takes several trials to ensure the best taste.

When Han Yuyan came down from the upstairs after taking a bath, there was already a thick layer of aroma in the restaurant, which was dominated by the aroma of chicken, but mixed with the deliciousness of mushrooms and dried fruits. Although eggplant is the main ingredient, eggplant is actually just a carrier in this dish. Eggplant is soft and sponge-like, which can perfectly contain and carry the flavors of several other ingredients.

Han Yuyan took a deep breath, couldn't help but swallowed, and subconsciously growled in her stomach, and this sister began to worry, she was not such a food addicted person, following her grandfather This well-known gourmet at home and abroad has also seen a lot of food, but after meeting Ye Chui, she seems to be a little bit out of control... After spending a long time with her cheap master, will she become a little girl? Fat lady?

After Jingjing Wang Shiyu came back from school at night, the delicious eggplant that Ye Chui made was also completed - it should be noted that this was just a delicious eggplant, not the "court eggplant" that Ye Chui wanted to prepare for Wu Haimei.

When sister Han Yuyan was helping to serve the meal, she suddenly saw a ceramic pot on the side of the stove. When Ye Chui bought this thing in the afternoon, he was still curious. He didn't know what Ye Chui bought it for, so he hugged it casually. After touching the pot, she let out a huff, and found that the weight of the pot had changed, and it seemed that something had been put in it. While she was about to open the lid of the pot, she turned her head and asked Ye Chui: "Master, what did you put in it?" ?”

"Don't open it!" Ye Chui quickly snatched the jar back from Han Yuyan's hand, "The contents inside must be sealed for at least seven days before opening. If you open it at will and get contaminated before then, the contents inside will deteriorate. .”

Han Yuyan frowned, but seeing what Ye Chui said was serious and put the jar in the darkest place at the back of the cabinet, she didn't ask any more questions. The most important thing is to serve the meal. A plate of delicious eggplant was also brought to the dining table, and Han Yuyan muttered in his heart, "I don't want to be a little fat woman, I don't want to be a little fat woman", and then he couldn't help but eat it.

This eggplant is very delicious when eaten with rice. Eat it in one bite. The deliciousness of chicken, dried fruit, mushrooms, dried tofu, and new bamboo shoots spreads in the mouth. People can't help but sigh a small piece of eggplant It can contain so many delicacies—even if it wasn't for the eggplant that Han Yuyan personally accompanied Ye Chui to buy, she would have doubted whether there was any eggplant in this dish.

Looking at Han Yuyan and Wang Shiyu at the dining table, and even Jing Jing, who is always quiet and elegant on weekdays, scrambling to put vegetables in his bowl, Ye Chui laughed. This delicious eggplant was in the past. It is sold in the big restaurants in the country, and the price even reaches eight or nine thousand a plate. It is self-evident that the taste is outstanding.

However, for Ye Chui, there are still flaws in this dish, which are not enough to make an anorexic patient raise his expectations for food again.

He turned his head to look at the cabinet in the kitchen. After seven days of fermentation, the contents in the clay pot will form something that complements this delicious eggplant. With that kind of thing, the delicious eggplant will be sublimated into the ultimate delicacy Palace eggplant!

While eating a meal, Ye Chui's cell phone rang suddenly, and now there are only a handful of people who have his phone number. After looking at the number, it was Tian Xiaodu's fat man. Ye Chui went to the side and connected the call. Phone: "Hey, Xiao Du, what do you have to do? The hotel has been set up here, anyway, you are going to work here, so why don't you come and have a look."

Tian Xiaodu has been refusing to come and visit the restaurant since it was decorated. This is something that makes Ye Chui feel very strange, as if the fat man is afraid of something... What is there to be afraid of?

"The restaurant is fine no matter what, and it won't be too late for me to go when it officially opens." Tian Xiaodu evaded with a smile, and continued to ask after him, "By the way, little brother, how is your preparation for the exam?"

Hearing what Tian Xiaodu said, Ye Chui was taken aback: "What exam?"

Tian Xiaodu: "...tomorrow's basic chef skills test."

Ye Chui: "Uh..."

I was preoccupied with my busy schedule today, but I completely forgot about tomorrow's exam.
