Chapter 201 Simple State Banquet Dishes4000 words(1/2)
At the end of the busy afternoon, Feng Yifan and his apprentice finished cleaning the kitchen and came to the restaurant in front to sit down.
Meng Shitong and others couldn't wait to get to Feng Yifan's side together.
Although I haven't spoken yet, the ideas of several people are already very obvious.
Meng Shitong and the others were already impatient to go into the kitchen and take a picture of Feng Yifan cooking.
Looking at the expressions of several people, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Let's wait a while, let me take a break, take a breath, rest assured, the afternoon is still very good, our old man agrees, you will definitely be able to take pictures of what you want to take."
Meng Shitong quickly smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, Chef Feng, you have a good rest. It's really tiring this afternoon."
After a brief silence, He Yaqian and photographer A Fei almost spoke in unison and said two completely opposites to Feng Yifan. They wanted Feng Yifan to show each other.
"Chef Feng, can you show you a very high-end dish?"
"Chef Feng, can we teach you a simple home-cooked dish today?"
The two blurted out at the same time, but formed a sharp contrast, and the two people's demands were almost completely opposite.
A hope to see more high-end dishes, He Yaqian did not say the subtext, but also hoped that Feng Yifan could show off a state banquet dish.
Photographer A Fei is more practical. He hopes to see a relatively home-cooked dish. When making videos, some people who watch videos can try it.
After the two of them spoke different ideas in unison, they first looked at each other, and then the two of them were a little nervous in an instant.
He Yaqian rushed to say: "I think some high-end dishes should be given so that others can feel very high-end and high-end at first sight, so that they can be more attractive and catch the attention of the audience watching the video."
Ah Fei also refused to give in: "Although the high-end dishes are very attractive, they will give people a flashy feeling. We should tell everyone through the video that our own delicacies can be easily made by everyone."
The two really look like a pair of enemies, all kinds of tit-for-tat, and no one is willing to give in.
Everyone in the restaurant was also very happy.
Meng Shitong was a little embarrassed to see her because the two of them quarreled.
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more quarrels, Su Ruoxi couldn't help but say, "Don't you two quarrel, you haven't thought about letting your Chef Feng show you a dish that is simple and easy to learn, and it's also a high-end dish?"
When Feng Yifan heard his wife's words, he immediately looked at his wife with a wry smile, as if he was saying in his eyes: You know how to make a living for me.
When Su Ruoxi saw her husband looking over, she smiled and raised her chin gently, revealing her trust and expectation for her husband.
Facing his wife's gaze, Feng Yifan summarized it first before He Yaqian and A Fei spoke.
"Well, then I'll summarize the requirements of you two. Ladies are preferred, they must be high-quality, they must have certain skills, they are very beautiful; and then the requirements of our photographers are simple and easy to learn, and they can be easily seen at a glance, and they are home-cooked."
After the summary, Feng Yifan asked seriously: "Is it confirmed? You two have all the requirements, right?"
He Yaqian and A Fei looked at each other, and they said in unison: "Yes."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, there is really a suitable dish. Although this dish is not our local dish, this dish is a famous dish at the state banquet."
Speaking of this, Feng Yifan turned his head and looked at his apprentice: "It just so happens that today, I can teach me this apprentice something new."
Lin Ruifeng was really moved when he heard that he could learn something new, so he asked quickly: "Master? What are you going to teach me today?"
Feng Yifan saw his apprentice looking very much, and said with a kind smile: "Tell you how to clench shrimps."
"Hinged shrimp?"
The group of people were a little surprised. In fact, everyone really didn't understand such academic vocabulary.
But Su Jinrong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had a smile on his face when he heard this.
Then after taking a break for a while, Feng Yifan stood up and said, "Okay, is Lin Ruifeng resting? Are you ready to learn shrimps from me?"
Lin Ruifeng immediately stood up and agreed with awe-faced expression: "Master is ready."
Feng Yifan nodded and led his apprentice to the kitchen. When he walked to the kitchen door, he looked back at Meng Shitong and others: "Come on, today I will teach you a famous dish at the first banquet in the founding country, dry shrimp."
When I heard the "first banquet for the founding of the country", Meng Shitong and others suddenly lit up.
Only the photographer A Fei was a little hesitant when he heard this, thinking that this dish was not common no matter how you look at it, right? But when everyone was very excited, A Fei had to follow him quickly.
After entering the kitchen, the kitchen is still very clean. This kind of tidyness will make everyone who comes in feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
Meng Shitong couldn't help but sigh in her heart: the dishes made in the kitchen in this way are comfortable just looking at.
Feng Yifan went to the place where the aquatic products were stored in the kitchen and scooped up very fresh shrimps.
Then I came to the pool and asked my apprentice to take two pairs of scissors: "Take the scissors and teach you how to deal with these shrimps first. Cleaving shrimps is also a basic skill."
Lin Ruifeng was very obedient and quickly took two pairs of scissors and handed one of them to his master.
Feng Yifan took the scissors and did not take action directly. He first glanced at the photographer A Fei: "Are you ready?"
A Fei responded, then quickly turned on the machine, came to the pool, adjusted the camera and pointed it at Feng Yifan, preparing to take a careful photo of the shrimp.
After A Fei finished preparing, he made an "OK" gesture to Feng Yifan: "Okay, Chef Feng, you can start."
Feng Yifan nodded, turned his head to Lin Ruifeng on the other side and said, "Let's start, you can take a closer look."
Next, Feng Yifan started to cleave the shrimp, pinched out a shrimp from the basin, and then straightened the fresh shrimp body with his hands. The first scissors should be cut open the shrimp head.
Instead of cutting off the entire shrimp head directly, the part behind the shrimp mouth and eyes was cut off.
"Look clearly, you must cut it off a little obliquely, cut the shrimp heads like this, and then stick the tip of the scissors in."
Feng Yifan slowly used the tip of the scissors to penetrate the shrimp head for a while, and slowly dug out a small black bag from the inside of the shrimp head.
"This thing must be cleaned up, it is even dirty than shrimp thread."
After hooking out the little black bag, Feng Yifan gently pulled it out with his hands and gave his apprentice and A Fei next to him to take a closer look.
Lin Ruifeng and A Fei both looked at each other very seriously, and A Fei even took photos with the camera lens.
Then, Feng Yifan turned the shrimp body backwards and carefully cut the whiskers under the shrimp body.
"Remember, you must cut it out here, this is a necessary step."
After cutting the whisker claws, Feng Yifan made another hole in the back of the shrimp and slowly picked out the shrimp thread from the back with scissors. Finally, he had to cut the shrimp tail.
A shrimp was cleaned up like this, and then Feng Yifan put it in a separate basin.
During the whole process, although Feng Yifan's movements were very slow, each step was very accurate and there were almost no extra movements.
Both Lin Ruifeng and A Fei knew very well that the reason why Feng Yifan was so slow was mainly to let them see clearly, facilitate A Fei's shooting, and also let Lin Ruifeng learn it seriously.
Next, the real beginning of Lin Ruifeng's nightmare.
Feng Yifan took him to start cutting.
It looked like a very simple hinged shrimp, but when I really started to get started, Lin Ruifeng started to have problems with the scissors.
"No, don't cut it from this place."
"It's still wrong, you cut it too deep."
"Slow down, you have to cut everything here."
"No, you have to be slower and not destroy the shrimp body."
"wrong……"
"No, no..."
Meng Shitong and others who were standing aside felt a little distressed to Lin Ruifeng. They had previously thought that the matter of sucking shrimp was very simple, but after seeing Lin Ruifeng got it, they realized that nothing was simple.
Especially Feng Yifan has very strict requirements on the side, and every detail is almost strict and perfect.
This made Lin Ruifeng gradually become impatient. Even Meng Shitong and others who were not standing next to him felt Lin Ruifeng's body trembling and his arms were trembling slightly, and he was obviously very anxious.
However, although Feng Yifan was strict with his apprentices, he would not be serious about A Fei and the others.
After he quickly finished the shrimp, he washed the shrimps and wiped the remaining water on the shrimps.
"Remember, be sure to wipe the water dry, otherwise it will be bad when frying."
The next step is to pour oil into the pot, and then put no seasonings. Feng Yifan directly put the prepared prawns in and then started frying.
Without any seasoning, cool the oil and fry the shrimp slowly as the oil temperature slowly rises.
During this process, Feng Yifan didn't even use a spatula or spoon at all.
When needed, he picked up the pot and swayed it gently on the stove, so that the shrimps in the pot would also shake and slowly fry.
After one side was frying, Feng Yifan suddenly exerted force with his wrist. When he turned the pot, all the shrimps in the pot jumped up. At this moment, he seemed to have come alive. Then he turned the pot forward and upward with his wrist, and all the shrimps were turned into the pot.
This scene was stunned in everyone's eyes.
He Yaqian even exclaimed: "Damn it."
Ah Fei first came to his senses, turned his head to look at his stunned partner, and said with a wry smile: "Did you see it? Just have hands."
Feng Yifan heard A Fei's words and said with a smile: "Actually, if you make it at home, you don't need to do this. You can turn it over with chopsticks one by one, but be careful, you must fry the shrimp until it is golden and fry the shrimp oil."
Next, Feng Yifan poured out the fried shrimp.
Add a little oil, then put the chopped green onion and ginger into the pan, stir-fry and stir-fry to taste, and then pour the prawns in again.
"Okay, now you can start seasoning. Seasoning is simpler. Add a little water, salt, rice wine, pepper, and a little more sugar. Then cover the pot and simmer, 2.5 cents."
Listening to Feng Yifan talking while doing it, photographer A Fei suddenly felt: It doesn’t seem that difficult, right?
During the stewing time, Feng Yifan took another look at the apprentice among the shrimps.
