Chapter 736 How to estimate this
Fu Yu is the head chef for tonight’s medicated meal banquet. Ren Yuchang and Li Zongming originally came to taste the medicated meal banquet, but after they came to the back kitchen, neither of them mentioned the matter of leaving.
The two huddled together in front of the kitchen counter, watching Fu Yu cook the medicinal food.
The two of them looked serious, which made others curious.
A group of people simply squeezed into the back kitchen, watching Fu Yu make the medicinal meal.
Liu Yiming is not good at cooking, he just watched the fun.
Xia Anni and her manager were curious about what kind of dishes this herbal diet was made of, how it was made, what good things were used, and why it was spread so miraculously.
After Yao Shi entered the kitchen, he weighed the identities of everyone present.
Among the people, except Ren Yuchang and Li Zongming who knew more about medicinal food, the others were all laymen.
Ren Yuchang and Li Zongming are Chinese medicine doctors after all, and they are too busy with work, so it is impossible for them to have the thought to cook by themselves.
For the medicated diet made by Fu Yu, at most let them look at the ingredients and formula, so they don’t have to worry about being stolen.
Although everyone in the kitchen had different thoughts, they all focused on Fu Yu.
Only Fu Yu, except for a few polite greetings at the beginning, then continued to focus on cooking, didn’t care about other people’s onlookers, and behaved very generously.
Ren Yuchang looked at it for a while, and couldn’t help but praise: “Xiaofu’s cooking is really authentic! Old Liu was full of praise for his cooking skills before.”
When Yao Shi heard this, he hurriedly answered, “Xiao Fu, did you hear that? Dean Ren praised you. Now Dean Ren and Dr. Li are here. If you have any questions, you can talk to them. This study The opportunity is rare!
Ren Yuchang laughed: “I’ll forget it. If it’s Chinese medicine physiotherapy, I’m good at it. When it comes to medicinal food, I just try something new. But Lao Li is really good at research in this area.”
“Xiao Fu, you can talk to Dr. Li later, no, you have to change your name to Expert Li, Teacher Li, this is a new member of the National Medicinal Diet Research Association, you have to learn from it.”
Fu Yu quickly raised his head: “That’s necessary. I happen to have a lot of questions that I don’t quite understand. When I have a chance, I can ask Teacher Li for advice.”
Li Zongming had also just been invited to join the National Medicinal Diet Research Association. This quota of membership still borrowed Ren Yuchang’s help and left Liu Shaoxian’s door.
It was recommended by Liu Shaoxian, and only then did he have the opportunity to join the club.
Ren Yuchang smiled and said: “Xiao Fu is pretty good, Xiao Yao has chosen people with really good vision!”
Yao Shi was delighted when he heard it: “The main reason is that Xiaofu is this material. He is very talented in learning to cook. He can learn everything quickly, and he can practice cooking better.”
Li Zongming smiled noncommittally, and nodded slightly.
He could tell that Ren Yuchang wanted to make friends with Xia Fu Yu, so he simply sent him a favor, and said with a smile: “I also like Xiao Fu very much, and we will communicate more in the future. I just have a little research on medicinal food. , but for Chinese medicine, if necessary, we can have in-depth communication.”
When Fu Yu heard this, his eyes lit up. It is a good thing that he can learn Chinese medicine!
After all, cooking with medicinal food, in the final analysis, is to use medicinal materials to regulate diseases, which belongs to traditional Chinese medicine.
If he can learn more Chinese medicine theories and be familiar with various diseases and pharmacology, it will be a great help for his future medicinal cooking!
And if the system can be more powerful, maybe you can directly steal a few personal skills in Chinese medicine!
Thinking of this, Fu Yu nodded quickly: “Great, thank you Teacher Li!”
Ren Yuchang and Yao Shi both looked happy when they heard the words, and smiled at each other.
Li Zongming also smiled. In his opinion, Fu Yu still has an advantage. At such a young age, he is also good at cooking and proficient in medicinal diet. If he studies the theory of traditional Chinese medicine seriously in the future, he may really be able to make a difference in medicinal diet. attainments.
At his age, he will somewhat cherish his talent and love his talents, so seeing that Fu Yu is young and talented, and his appearance is not bad, he has a little sense of support. , is just at the beginning, and lacks the accumulation of knowledge and theory.
At this time, if you can take him with you, you can avoid a lot of detours, and if you can really make a difference in the promotion and promotion of medicinal diet, it will be considered an achievement.
With this idea in mind, when Li Zongming looked at Fu Yu’s cooking of medicinal food, he had a little more evaluation and correction.
Fu Yu checked the stewed yam quail in the pot. After a slow fire, the soup has changed from clear to thick.
Continue to simmer slowly until it is cooked.
Taking advantage of this time, Fu Yu started cooking hawthorn stuffing.
This dish is found from the recipes that customers with anorexia like. Hawthorn has a miraculous effect on promoting qi and dispelling blood stasis, and can effectively regulate gastrointestinal function.
Because Xia Anni’s sleep quality is not good, taking a small amount of hawthorn can also expand coronary arteries, increase coronary flow, protect myocardial ischemia and hypoxia; it can also strengthen the heart, lower blood pressure and resist arrhythmia.
Fu Yu carefully selected the hawthorns, soaked them in salt water, rubbed them clean, and rinsed them repeatedly.
Usually working in the back kitchen, Liu Yiming came to Liu Yiming’s house unexpectedly. When Fu Yu customized the purchase order, he only listed the ingredients and medicinal materials that needed to be used. As for the kitchen utensils, he only thought of the usual ones.
When it was time to remove the hawthorn core, I realized that I had forgotten to ask someone to buy a tool for removing the core.
There is really no way, Fu Yu can only remove the core manually.
Use a knife to dig out the connective tissue at both ends, cut the hawthorn in a circle around the middle, break it apart, and the core can be easily removed.
Every time a hawthorn is cleaned, it needs to be soaked in salt water immediately to avoid oxidation.
Put the hawthorn in a stainless steel pot, pour water, add rock sugar and white sugar and cook together.
Because hawthorn jelly and hawthorn jam need to be prepared at the same time, a large amount of hawthorn needs to be prepared.
Boil the pot and wait for the rock sugar and white sugar to melt, and after the hawthorn becomes soft, take out part of the soup.
Put the hawthorn out of the pan into a new pot and cook over medium heat.
The remaining hawthorn in the pot will continue to boil on high heat, while pressing the hawthorn with the back of the spoon.
In the following time, keep pressing the hawthorn repeatedly with the back of the spoon.
The hawthorn in another pot is boiled over medium heat until it is transparent and sticky.
Then, take a clean spoon and crush the hawthorn, add a spoonful of sugar. Stir constantly with a spoon to prevent sticking to the pan.
Fu Yu worked with his left and right hands at the same time this time. He held a spoon in his left hand and kept stirring the hawthorn jam, while his right hand counted the time and occasionally crushed the hawthorn puree.
The hawthorn jam has been boiled over high heat, so it was made first.
Fu Yu was not in a hurry to serve the plate, but used a spoon to slide in the jam, making sure that a slit could be completely cut, then turned off the fire, filled out all the hawthorn jam, and let it cool.
At the same time, the hawthorn puree in another pot began to become sticky.
Fu Yu turned the fire to medium-low fire, and continued to press the hawthorn.
Actually, if it weren’t for the crowd of people watching, Fu Yu wouldn’t need to keep pressing the hawthorn.
Because the main purpose of this step is to prevent paste.
This point is actually no burden to Fu Yu.
However, in order to make his performance a little more normal, Fu Yu still operated step by step honestly, without revealing his awesome kitchen performance.
Wait until the hawthorn puree can be sticky and formed. It feels a little hard to push it with a spoon, and when you lift the spoon, the hawthorn puree attached to the spoon will not fall down.
At this time, you can turn off the fire and proceed to the next cooking operation.
Fu Yu took another shallow basin and brushed a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the basin.
Pour the hawthorn into the basin while it is hot, and press it firmly.
Make the hawthorn cake flat, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator.
This time, even Li Zongming, who has a little research on medicinal diet, was a little confused.
What kind of medicinal diet does Fu Yu cook?
Hawthorn cake?
Although hawthorn does have the effect of invigorating the spleen and replenishing qi, is it too simple and rude?
Tonight is a customized banquet, is this hawthorn cake also a dish that can be sold?
Yao Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, watching Fu Yu quickly take a papaya and began to peel and remove the seeds.
He could tell that what Fu Yu made were hawthorn cake and hawthorn jam, neither of which was a complete dish.
Could it be a decoration for putting on a plate?
Or a side dish with other dishes?
While everyone was guessing, Fu Yu had already cut papaya and ginger, put them together in a casserole, poured in mature vinegar and started cooking.
Is this going to be stewed papaya with vinegar?
Xia Anni and her manager looked at each other.
It turns out that papaya is also a traditional Chinese medicine?
The two subconsciously looked at Ren Yuchang who was standing beside him.
Ren Yuchang met their eyes, shook his head and smiled and said, “I don’t understand this either, Lao Li, can you tell what kind of medicinal diet this is?”
Li Zongming subconsciously puffed up his chest when he heard the words, and explained: “It should be made of vinegar, **** and papaya. This is a relatively famous medicinal diet, which is effective for acne caused by spleen and stomach phlegm temperature. Applied to patients with weak spleen and stomach. It can alleviate Miss Xia’s illness to a certain extent, and the taste is very unique, and it can also play an appetizing effect.”
Xia Anni nodded, deeply moved.
It turns out that this herbal diet is quite famous!
It seems that although Fu Yu is young, he is really good at medicinal food.
While several people were talking in low voices, Fu Yu took a large bowl and began to wash the white lentils, white lotus seeds, white tuckahoe, white yam, and white chrysanthemums separately.
Fu Yu’s movements are very fast, and in the eyes of outsiders, they feel particularly smooth, with an indescribable beauty.
When other people watched this scene, they looked at it from the perspective of pure appreciation.
Only Yao Shi could not hide his surprised expression.
Because he found that when Fu Yu was serving ingredients such as white lentils and white lotus seeds, he grabbed them with bare hands and did not weigh them at all.
If it is an ordinary dish, it is reasonable to estimate the weight. After all, practice makes perfect. If you cook more, you will have experience.
But what Fu Yu is currently making is medicinal food. There should be clear regulations on the amount of ingredients and medicinal materials, right?
Is it possible to ensure the amount of ingredients by grabbing them so casually?
Yao Shi was thinking while observing Fu Yu’s operation.
Looking at it, it made him see something.
Fu Yu’s movements are very fast, but when picking up the ingredients, he has a very subtle movement, that is, when he even grabbed two handfuls of white beans, he obviously put them back some more in the process of grabbing the last handful. .
This action seems very random, but through careful observation, Yao Shi discovered that Fu Yu had done the same action when grabbing several other ingredients.
When the chef is cooking, because of his many operations and rich experience, he will occasionally weigh it by hand. He can pick up any ingredient and weigh it to roughly estimate the specific weight.
But if you weigh it by hand, there will definitely be a weighing action.
Fu Yu didn’t do it when he was operating. He just grabbed it casually, as if he could accurately judge the weight of the ingredients he grabbed by relying on the feel of his hand.
But how is this possible?
If you want to use experience to accurately judge the weight of a certain ingredient, you have to go through at least tens of thousands of repeated operations and slowly accumulate experience.
However, the ingredients that Fu Yu uses now are rarely used in the back kitchen.
Especially Chinese herbal medicines!
How to estimate this?
Just when Yao Shi was puzzled, Fu Yu put several kinds of ingredients into the wall breaking machine and ground them into powder.
He was going to take advantage of the time between cooking other dishes to make the dough for the Wubai sweet cake.
From the wall breaking machine, pour the ground Wubai sweet cake powder into the basin.
When kneading the noodles, there is a certain ratio, add 160 grams of glutinous rice flour for every 200 grams of raw flour.
Fu Yu directly weighed it with a spoon, filled it one by one, until the dialog box showed a prompt, and then began to fill it back little by little until the amount reached the standard.
Yao Shi’s attention has been on Fu Yu’s operation, so he found that Fu Yu does seem to have a unique talent in weighing ingredients.
No, perhaps it should be said that Fu Yu’s talent in cooking includes the control of the weight of ingredients.
Otherwise, it is really impossible to explain his current behavior.
Under Yao Shi’s steadfast gaze, Fu Yu began to add water to the basin and stir.
Kneading noodles is Fu Yu’s strong point. With his personal skills, the sticky flour is quickly kneaded into dough.
Fu Yu took out the dough, put it on the chopping board sprinkled with Wubai sweet dry cake powder and started kneading.
The people present were not familiar with face-to-face work, so they could only see that Fu Yu was proficient in kneading the dough, but they didn’t notice Fu Yu’s movements. The standard was comparable to the instructor’s demonstration on the teaching video.
Whether it’s the firm pressing from the arm to the palm, or the angle when kneading the dough, it’s perfect.
Use the least labor-saving movements to complete the maximum dough kneading.
If you want to reach this level, you don’t have several years of face-to-face work experience, and you can’t reach this level at all.
From the eyes of others, Fu Yu kneaded the dough quickly, and then kneaded the dough into long strips.
Cut the long strips into sections, and finally knead each small section into a ball and let it rest for proofing.
