Ye Chuilai challenged Chinatown in order to make the people in China admit that their food is inherited from the Chinese cuisine and let them recognize their ancestors.
Ye Chui even understood that sometimes just because he was better than the other party in cooking, he would not convince the other party. The best way to intimidate the other party is to say "conquer people with virtue."
Of course, it depends on people who use virtue to win people. People like Peng Song who take advantage of tricks can be crushed directly. However, in Ye Chui's opinion, Chen Tian and Shen Zhongda are worth using "virtue" to make them understand the truth. Therefore, Ye Chui taught Chen Tian Mapo tofu and Shen Zhongda Laobian dumplings, so that they could know the profoundness of the Chinese cuisine, and that they would wholeheartedly recognize their Chinese heritage.
In Ye Chui's view, Jiang Yuemei belongs to Chen Tian. Shen Zhongda does not need to crush her cooking skills. She just needs to take out a recipe that makes her admire you to make her admit defeat. So Ye Chui is preparing to teach Jiang Yuemei the most formal Mao Xuewang.
As for why Ye Chui thought Jiang Yuemei was worth doing this - he believed in his own eyes, this fat aunt was definitely not the kind of person who spoke quarrels. Besides, those who are fat are usually good people, right?
(ps: Cough... cannon is a clear proof...)
"Master, what is the real Mao Xuewang?" Although Han Yuyan was still resentful of Ye Chui's "liar" on her to eat duck blood, he also became very interested in the real Mao Xuewang and asked.
Ye Chui had never made this dish before.
"The real Maoxuewang ingredients are very particular. The spicy red in Lahongzhuang looks very hairxuewang. It can be regarded as a simple version of Maoxuewang, and it needs to be added to the cake. Several other seasonings are added." Ye Chui said, and then smiled, "First of all, we have to find a way to find duck blood... There seems to be live ducks selling in the vegetable market in Chinatown. Who will buy me one to kill the duck and get blood?"
Han Yuyan quickly shook his head: "I don't want to go...Master. Do you need other things? I'll buy them for you."
"Of course I need it." Ye Chuan smiled badly, "I also need tripe... Oh, tripe is the stomach of the beef. There is a slaughterhouse in Chinatown to supply pork and beef. You should find these things when you go to the slaughterhouse."
Han Yuyan: “…”
Sister Han turned around and walked outside: "I'll buy ducks."
Ye Chui looked at Tang Shanshan with a smile.
The girl was anxious and said to Ye Chui with a resistant look on her face: "Boss...you...you won't let me buy some tripe in the slaughterhouse, let me say ok first. Although I work for you for 500 yuan a day, I don't do everything. This girl has principles..."
"..." Looking at Tang Shanshan's appearance that she wanted to do something bad to her. Ye Chui couldn't help laughing and shook her head with a smile, "Okay, don't let you go to the slaughterhouse. You can go to the vegetable market with Dayu, and buy some other ingredients that can be used for me. Oh, I'll write down what you want to buy."
The leaves drew paper and pen. They wrote the ingredients to use: soybean sprouts, eels, daylily, fungus, lettuce, squid, and pork.
In addition, the most authentic way to make the Maoxuewang dish requires ham sausage, but there is no such thing in this world for the time being, so I can only give up.
After taking the piece of paper handed over by Ye Chui, Tang Shanshan glanced at it and looked surprised: "It takes so much to use. This dish is really exquisite."
"Any dish that is well-known has been formed after countless years of development. It is constantly improved in the process to make the taste gradually perfect. This is also the most charming place for food. When the recipe develops to the end, every ingredient and every condiment contained in it are already the most perfect." Ye Chui said with a little emotion. Some chefs who are not good enough feel that when making some big dishes, the ingredients and condiments used are too complicated, and it doesn't matter if they miss a few, but they don't know that in the eyes of real gourmets, even small things that are inconspicuous may make the whole dish taste.
Tang Shanshan didn't know if she understood it, so she nodded and looked at the piece of paper in her hand and left the kitchen. Before leaving, Ye Chui asked him to call Chen Jiao in and help him find ingredients for tripe.
But after a moment, it was Chen Tian who came in. She happened to go to the Chen Family Hotel to ask what Ye Chui was going to do. Ye Chui happened to ask her to go to the slaughterhouse.
As the owner of one of the seven major hotels, Chen Tian’s name is also very useful in the slaughterhouse.
Moreover, as the famous tofu western lion, he obviously had no fear of slaughterhouses and tripe. Chen Tian asked what Ye Chui wanted to use and left happily.
By the evening, the ingredients that Ye Chui needs to use will be prepared one by one.
Han Yuyan bought three live ducks in one breath. When Ye Chui killed the duck, the sister and Tang Shanshan hid back to their room. The duck blood was collected and placed in a large basin. Then Ye Chui poured a small amount of water, white wine and most importantly salt into it.
Stir gently and then set it idle.
Salt will act as a coagulant, causing the duck blood to gradually solidify into blocks, becoming bloody and bloody tofu.
Next is to deal with the tripe brought by Chen Tian.
The general way to eat tripe is to dry it and then water it, which can greatly reduce the bitter taste in the tripe. However, the tripe brought by Chen Tian is the freshest and there is no drying condition in a short period of time. In order to remove the bitterness in the tripe, the tripe needs to be steamed at high temperature. By the next morning, the tripe was completely soft and could not see its original appearance.
Next is to officially make the Mao Xuewang dish.
First, stir-fry the pepper, pepper, ginger, sour, salad oil, etc., and add the thick soup made from the tripe. After boiling in this way for ten minutes, remove the residue. At this moment, the soup has already appeared a turbid red and bright color. Put the soup into a small pot and slice the soybean sprouts, eels, squids, daylily, fungus, lettuce and other ingredients into the pot. Of course, eels, daylily, squids, fungus, and lettuce also need to go through a flying process when adding them to the pot.
The so-called flying water is to just pass these things in boiling water to make the ingredients half-cooked.
Pour various ingredients into the soup, take out the coagulated duck blood, cut it into pieces, and pour it into a pot.
Duck blood accounts for less than half of the proportion of other things, but it is an indispensable thing in this dish and the highlight of this dish.
Heat the soup for a few minutes to cook the ingredients inside.
Then there is the last step. Set up a pot, pour in salad oil, add chili and pepper, stir-fry the red oil, and finally pour it into the pot quickly.
The authentic hairy blood is bright and the red oil inside accounts for a very large proportion. At this time, this hairy bloody blood has been officially completed.
In fact, this dish seems to be a bit flawed in Ye Chu. If you want to make the taste of this dish reach the most authentic, there are also some lacking ingredients, such as ham.
Some people have also developed the addition of sea cucumbers and yellow throats to Maoxuwang, which can make the taste more delicious, but these are not achieved.
Sea cucumbers are easy to find, but if you add sea cucumbers, you need to cooperate with yellow throat. Yellow throat is an ingredient made of large blood vessels of livestock such as pigs and cattle. It is obviously too difficult to prepare these ingredients.
After completion, the hairy blood is strong and scented, mouth-watering.
After knowing that the so-called blood is actually duck blood, Tang Shanshan and Han Yuyan swore that they would never eat this kind of thing, but at this time they had a plan to change their original intentions. They stared at the red tofu cubes in the red bright soup and looked faintly.
Chen Tian, ​​Li Xiuyun and Chen Jiao didn't mind the special nature of these ingredients. They wanted to taste them, but Ye Cui stopped them-
"Let's go to Lahongzhuang now. When this matter is over, I'll let you eat enough." Ye Chui said with a smile.
There are still many ingredients left to make Maoxuwang, and you can make several more tables.
He took a pot lid and covered the fruit and held it up with both hands: "Let's go now."
...
Lahongzhuang is a restaurant that doesn’t look big, and its location is not very good. However, the so-called wine is not afraid of deep alleys. When it was first opened, it was just an inconspicuous small storefront. However, with its unique taste of spicy red, this dish became famous and even once called a famous American dish.
Even now, it is also a representative dish that ranks very high in Chinatown.
Just as Ye Chui set out to Lahongzhuang, in Lahongzhuang's kitchen, Mrs. Gao was smiling and looking at Jiang Yuemei standing on the chopping board, waiting for her answer.
"I will do my best." Jiang Yuemei did not look at Mrs. Gao and was busy with what she was doing. "I told Ye Chui that as long as he could guess what Lahong was, I would give in."
"It's just that's not enough." Mrs. Gao's voice was cold.
Jiang Yuemei turned to look at Jiang Yuemei: "What do you want me to do?"
"Ye Chui has won three games in a row, and he must lose this fourth game." Mrs. Gao said without doubt.
Jiang Yumei sneered on her face: "What if I can't win?"
A look of anger appeared on Mrs. Gao's old face: "Jiang Yuemei, don't forget that your husband was a bad gambling person and owed a huge sum of money. In the end, I helped him relieve the situation. As a result, your husband suffered a serious illness. The debt you owe me is enough for you to pay it back for the rest of your life. I will tell you now that if you can't win this game, then your la carte market will not be able to continue!"
Jiang Yuemei's cutting vegetables in her hand finally stopped. She didn't say anything. The fat face that looked very kind, but it was a bit unexplained... (To be continued)
