C1264 Go and Cook
China's five thousand years of civilized history, as long as it was brought up, the people would be proud of it.
The people born in this land were best at creating miracles.
Even though Nozawa Ichiro had a lot of fame and was experienced enough, Yang Soong seemed to be too young.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd was willing to believe that Yang Soong could win.
Sometimes, trust was a kind of power.
"Chef Yang, do your best!"
"Don't be afraid of Chef Yang. Tell us if you need anything. We'll prepare everything for you here."
"F * ck him!"
"A person from Little He Country!"
……
Yang Soong had originally lowered his head to tidy up the ingredients. He did not expect that everyone would suddenly become agitated.
Thinking that this was the northeast, and it was Shen Yang, he did not find it strange.
He usually did not talk much when cooking, but this time he just wanted to say a few words.
"The Buddhist Jumping Wall dish is a famous dish in Fu Province. It has a history of about a hundred years. The seniors made this dish very well.
I'm full of respect for this dish. I've practiced it several times. Although it can't be compared to the seniors, at least it can't be compared to Head Chef Nozawa's tea. Don't worry, everyone. "
"We don't have to worry. Head Chef Yang, calm down and cook slowly. We won't disturb you."
"Thank you."
On the opposite side, ozawa stared at Yang Soong with a death gaze. He said mockingly, "If you lie early, it will be ugly when you lose."
Yang Soong said in a relaxed manner, "Don't worry. I am not you."
"Humph!"
The two of them ignored each other and increased their speed in processing the ingredients.
How many ingredients did a chef need to make a Buddhist Jumping Wall?
The answer was: I don't know.
Buddha Jumping Wall was a dish that could be made all year round. The ingredients would also be different according to the rules.
Sea cucumbers, abalones, shark fins, dried scallops, fish lips, turtle skirt, deer tendon. Pigeon eggs, duck dishes, fish belly, flower glue. Alkaid, pigeon ribs, chopped pork ribs, ham. Pig belly, goat elbow, hoof tip, hoof tendon. Chicken. Duck, winter mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, and so on.
Generally speaking, the above were all ingredients prepared by professional chefs for jumping over the wall.
Apart from the ingredients, there were also some other ingredients. There's a lot of seasoning.
Everyone knew that Buddha Jumping Wall would eventually become a dish in a jar. This jar was extremely important, and often used Shaoxing wine jar.
All the ingredients, such as chicken, duck, fish and pork ribs, needed to be removed from the blood and magazines. The workload required for this process was not small.
As for the fish lips, abalone, sea cucumber, and so on, they also needed to deal with the impurities alone.
All of them were meticulous work, and not a single bit of carelessness could be allowed.
Yang Soong and Nozawa were completely focused and immersed in the process.
As true chefs, they each had their own ways of handling ingredients.
This wasn't strange.
What was strange was that...
Yang Soong cut the ribs into small, uniform sections. Each section was two fingers wide, and he poured cold water into them.
Ozawa also opened fire on the ribs at this moment.
Yang Soong picked up a chicken and chopped off its head and legs. Coincidentally, nozawa Ichiro also cut the chicken into eight pieces.
The two of them were almost in sync with each other.
You are a duck, and I am a pigeon.
I picked up the pig leg and cut it into pieces, and you happened to be the same.
Steamed ham, boiled pork belly, boiled pigeon egg, fish lips, boiled pig bone soup...
The two of them seemed to be the same type, walking for more than three hours.
Finally, it began to change.
The crowd let out a long sigh of relief: "It's different now."
The two of them handled the ingredients roughly the same way, and even the spices they chose were mostly the same.
The truly huge difference started from the boiling of the soup.
Yang Soong made a pile of broken pig bones and used clear water to clean the water twice before starting to hang the soup.
Ichiro Nozawa also chose pig bones. He only chose pig bones that were as high as glutinous albumin, as well as chicken bones and duck bones.
This pot of soup was the beginning. He only needed to boil it in the middle of the fire, so he didn't need to worry about it in the early stage.
The two of them also needed to process all kinds of ingredients twice.
This process was called removing the fishy smell.
Regardless of whether it was seafood or Lu Xian, they all needed to remove the fishy smell. It was the same for meat dishes.
The reason why Buddha Jumping Over the Wall could attract Buddha to lose his calm and Zen heart was because it was fresh enough.
After the impurities were removed from the various ingredients, they were washed clean, then placed into the steamer. They could not even meet each other.
This was to prevent the skewers from smelling.
In order to prevent the skewers from being skewered by the ingredients, nozawa prepared over a hundred kitchen knives.
He even had a special kitchen knife for cutting onions, ginger, and garlic.
Yang Soong used the knife all the way to the end from beginning to end.
This was the magical part of the magical kitchen knife. It did not taste good.
No one else could be envious of it.2
The procedure to make all kinds of ingredients into bamboo steamers was definitely yellow wine. Fuzhou's old wine was mixed with various spices. Some needed to be separated by water, while others didn't need it.
The ingredients needed to be steamed at different times, and the temperature needed to be different.
This required even more detail.
Yang Soong's nose never stopped. He walked to the front of the steamer in a while to adjust the fire, and then he walked to the front of the steamer. He opened the lid and released heat. This was to prevent some especially fresh ingredients from being steamed until they were old.
The time to lift the lid had to be just right. Otherwise, the taste here would be worse, and the taste there would be worse. If they gathered together, it wouldn't be called jumping over a wall.
This process was long and tedious.
At the same time, the side of the soup also needed someone to keep watch and adjust the fire.
Yang Soong was even busier now. At this time, he would start adding insect grass, tea tree mushrooms, almond mushrooms, aromatic mushrooms, antelope fungus, red pineapple, ji pineapple, bamboo mushroom, gray tree mushroom, silkworm mushroom, monkey head mushrooms, black wood ears, seatbelt root, white spirit mushrooms, dried bean horns, and corn into the soup.
These ingredients could not be added all at once. Yang Soong stood guard at the side, throwing them in from time to time, putting them in, and also continuously controlling the fire.
The night sky was very dark, the starlight was bright, and the moon hung high in the sky. Some people fell asleep accidentally. When they saw the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
As the final vessel, the wine jar needed to be heated slightly in advance.
Nozawa Ichiro's side dishes had already been prepared. He smeared honey on the bottom of the wine jar and added a layer of ginger slices. Then, he began to stack the ingredients one by one.
This process was also very important.
The ingredients were thin, thick, and clearly ranked. If he took a wrong step, all the ingredients on the upper and lower layers would be destroyed.
Ozawa was so careful that he didn't even dare to take a deep breath.
Yang Soong was still hanging the soup.
Ozawa finished filling the ingredients, poured them into the soup, sealed the lid, and slightly increased the temperature. After a minute, he lowered the temperature again, and slowly stewed the soup.
He went back and forth like this for another two hours before finally stopping to take a breather and drink some water.
Only now did Yang Soong start to prepare the ingredients.
Ozawa could not help but frown. After a while, he raised his eyebrows again. Yang Soong had wasted too much time. He had only started to prepare the dishes at this time. In the end, he would not have enough time to prepare the stew.
However, there was not enough time. The fire was not strong enough, so the taste was naturally not good enough.
Jumping over a wall was a waste of time for chefs. Especially in the end, they could only be stewed slowly with the fire. Sometimes, the fire was too big and needed to be smaller.
Yang Soong, you are still too young. You don't have enough experience and proficiency. You are bound to fail when making this Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. I can finally defeat you, my disciple!
Nozawa had already seen the light of victory.
