Chapter 8 There is no end to learning

Zhou Mochen returned home and finished processing the crayfish first, then drank tea and read a book. This time, he looked at the inheritance of a dish over and over again, taking the trouble to look at it. What he looked at was not the process, but the feeling when seasoning. The heat can be determined by the food itself.

Observe the feedback. It is easier to control.

Seasoning is difficult. When all the masters teach seasoning, they will sum it up with the sentence "appropriate amount". The amount is suitable for whom, and what is the amount. Many people have a hard time figuring this out. This is just the basics. The real masters

, what it is best at is stimulating the most essential aroma and flavor of food.

Therefore, many masters cook the same dish, but the taste is completely different. Subtle changes may affect the taste of the dish.

Zhou Mochen is also looking for the right touch in the seasonings this time. It is one thing to look at it, but it is another thing again. First of all, you must know how much a spoonful of salt, how much sugar, and how much pepper is to be better.

The secret to mastering seasoning.

The afternoon was spent with Zhou Mochen constantly grabbing and weighing the seasonings. Only those who are persistent and attentive can achieve great things. Zhou Mochen is this kind of person. Not only is he patient, but he can also endure loneliness.

In one afternoon, Zhou Mochen almost mastered this technique. He could take out as much amount as he wanted. I heard that great doctors even skipped weighing when prescribing medicine, so he just started doing it. It was not bad at all. I guess this is how he practiced.

Come out.

When we arrived at the store, Jiang Yingying was already open for business. We came early today and it wasn't time for dinner yet, so the door was still deserted. We quickly unloaded the goods and parked the car to prepare for the arrival of the army.

"Qianqian, you haven't been out all day, and you've wasted a great time." Li Xin looked helplessly at Sanniang, who was still in the studio working hard.

"Isn't this inspiration coming? Besides, why are you going out? Isn't it nice to stay at home and make money by painting?" Su Qian said angrily without even raising his head.

"I really don't understand you. I've made a lot of money over the years, but I spend a lot of money on dressing up, buying some luxuries and so on." Li Xin looked like he hated iron.

"I'm naturally beautiful. Why didn't I buy one? A house and a car are not luxurious enough. They cost me hundreds." Su Qian rolled her eyes.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, just be a home girl. Don't go out at night. I'm going to eat crayfish. I was busy yesterday and didn't see little brother Mo Chen. I have to go see him today. No, it's to eat.

Crayfish." Li Xin deliberately made fun of Su Qian.

"No, this is the way to go. I suddenly feel like my inspiration has run out. Food can inspire me." Su Qian stiffened when she heard the crayfish.

Li Xin was speechless when he saw Su Qian's energetic state. The two things that this best friend cared about most were painting and food.

"Then let's go. It's dinner time. If you go late, your little heart will be gone."

Su Qian quickly packed up and followed Li Xin to the snack street.

Looking at the busy Zhou Mochen, Su Qian subconsciously picked up her mobile phone and took a few photos. Today's Zhou Mochen is deeper than yesterday's and also mixed with fireworks. The whole picture looks harmonious and mysterious. How could a painter do this?

The wonderful picture has disappeared.

Zhou Mochen unconsciously confirmed what he had learned in the past two days. When cooking crayfish, he paid more attention and thought. Seasoning, and as the crayfish came out of the pot one by one, he could basically master the right amount.

What is the amount? Of course, this is only suitable for crayfish.

At this time, there was still a long queue in front of the store.

Everyone likes to join in the fun, and the people who don’t know what they are doing slowly join the team. Some of them are dissatisfied with the high price of lobsters and want to back out, but they give up after the fans around them communicate with each other.

"Idea", just kidding, it happens to be a limited purchase, and the tools delivered to your door will make you run away.

Of course, there are rebels among them. They can't stop smelling it. They have long forgotten that they are buyers. I thought the tool man was expensive before he tasted a lobster, and the expression on his face was indescribably rich.

"Oh, it smells so good!" I sighed so hard that people couldn't believe that this person was actually the same person who claimed that only idiots would buy such expensive crayfish.

In this beautiful and contradictory atmosphere, Zhou Mochen's lobster performance is coming to an end. It all ended at 9:10. It was a little faster than yesterday.

"Ruoxue, Ruoxue, brother Mo Chen seems to be handsome again. What should I do, what should I do? He's so attractive."

"You little hooves, please pay attention to me. This is my male idol, giving you a chance to reorganize your language."

"Xiao Ruoxue, if you can't handle this level, let my sister do it."

"Go away, go away. I'll bite you."

Murong Ruoxue watched the little sisters in the support group speaking more and more openly, gritted her teeth and flashed her two little tiger teeth. She suddenly sighed again, this generation of fans is really difficult to lead.

This small group of a few hundred people is really Zhou Mochen's support group. It was created by Murong Ruoxue after posting a video for the first time. Murong Ruoxue, who had nothing to do during the summer vacation, has been shooting videos every day for the past two days. As more and more people pay attention

The more people there are, the more people there are in the fan base.

Zhou Mochen never imagined that he had a fan base of several hundred people.

At the same time, another group of fake fans were also attacking Zhou Mochen in the video comment area.

"Brother Mo Chen, your harsh words are becoming more and more outrageous, and the end is getting earlier and earlier. Do you know this is called leaving early?"

"It's just that the company worked overtime today, and by the time I got off work, it was gone. It's so sad. It made my trip in vain. You have to give us an explanation."

"That's right, give us an explanation."

Zhou Mochen, who was taking a break, looked at the messages from netizens and smiled unkindly.

"A message notification has been sent."

A mouthful of old blood spurted out.

"Old thief, I have never seen such a shameless person."

"Forgive me for laughing unkindly. Quack!"

After resting for a while, Zhou Mochen also started to prepare dinner. Zhou Mochen was going to cook a hometown dish from a small city. When I was flipping through the book today, I saw it was both pasta and vegetables.

Take out the remaining chicken from the morning, rinse and drain the water, heat the pan, then turn down the heat and pour in the oil, add onion, ginger, garlic, spices, stir-fry over low heat until fragrant, put the chicken into the pot and stir-fry over low heat

, stir-fry the chicken to dry out the moisture, stir-fry out the oil, then add light soy sauce to enhance the flavor and soy sauce to add color. After the color of the chicken changes slightly, pour hot water to cover the chicken, season, and simmer over medium heat.

After the process of braised chicken is finished, Zhou Mochen starts kneading the dough. Add an appropriate amount of flour little by little and add water. The dough should not be too soft and should be chewy. Knead the dough with cold water. After kneading the dough, roll it into a thin dough. Cut it into diamond shapes and cut the chicken when it is almost done.

Spread the dough on top of the soup, cover it, simmer for a few minutes, add green peppers and stir-fry over high heat to reduce the juice.

The chicken is tender and has a strong aroma of braised chicken. The dough is soaked in the soup and is full of flavor. It is also tough and refreshing. This is a hometown dish in a small city, called Qiha Mo Braised Chicken. It can be used as a dish.

A delicacy that can also be used as a meal.

Jiang Yingying didn't expect to eat so well at night. She didn't dare to think about it at home. She likes this dish, which has a simple feel. It's like a big pot stew in her hometown, with a rich flavor that makes people forget to leave.

"My little friend, can you let me try your cooking?"

Qin Zongsheng came to Sioux City for a gathering at the invitation of an old friend. He is older and retired, so the gatherings are less frequent. He arrived a day early and did not disturb others. Instead, he found a pastoral hotel to stay.

Nostalgic. After dinner, I wanted to stroll around the old streets.

The old man is a chef by profession, but he has retired now. Although he is older, his senses are not weak at all. There are very few chefs in the world who can cook a large amount of food. Qin Zongsheng is one of them.

I habitually look at places with delicious food, nodding and shaking my head. I walked to the entrance of Qinghe Yipin Store but stopped. There is something about this fragrance. I couldn't help but walk into the store and saw two young people eating.

Qin Zongsheng, who loves gourmet food, has never seen this kind of method before, and he couldn't help but ask a question under the temptation of the fragrance.

"Okay, sir, sit down. Yingying will bring you a pair of bowls and chopsticks. You just ate, don't dislike it." Zhou Mochen turned around and saw an old man with extraordinary temperament entering the store. He didn't think much about it, others wanted to taste his cooking.

Food is his honor, and it is great to be recognized by others. No matter the identity of the visitor, they are all his diners. He understands!

"Grandpa, please sit down." Jiang Yingying didn't have any objections to this strange old man. She just did whatever the boss asked her to do. She quickly handed over the bowls and chopsticks.

"Okay, okay, thank you!" Qin Zongsheng sat down generously, took the bowl and chopsticks and said thank you.

I picked up a piece of chicken, smelled it, bit off a piece and savored it carefully. I ate another piece of dough, showing no expression or saying anything the whole time.

The other two people didn't say anything. Zhou Mochen motioned to Jiang Yingying to eat without disturbing the old man.

Qin Zongsheng stopped using his chopsticks after eating a few pieces. His expression seemed to be appreciation, surprise, and finally turned into a hint of relief.

The two parties had a tacit understanding and did not disturb each other until after the meal, Jiang Yingying started to pack things, and Zhou Mochen took out the tea set he brought and made a pot of tea. He drank a lot of water every day, and boiled water was too tasteless. So Zhou Mochen took the tea set at home and drank a lot of water.

There is a set of things to do.

"Please, sir." Zhou Mochen's tea-making skills are also very beautiful. His temperament is always incompatible with the style of this store. During conflicts, he stands out even more.

"Good tea, good craftsmanship, fragrant on the lips and teeth, full of charm! My little friend is an interesting person." Qin Zongsheng said while tasting.

"Old man, thank you very much." You still have to be humble when you should be humble.

"Who are you studying under, little friend? The foundation is very solid. You have already made your own way, and it is rare that you are still so young. There are only a few old guys in the circle. Could it be said that they are just closed disciples?" Qin Zongsheng opened his mouth to express his doubts.

.

"I'm sorry, old man. Master is not allowed to mention his name before he enters the room." I tell you, you don't know either. It is still necessary to find a mysterious master for yourself.

"I really want to see your master's style. This kind of craftsmanship has not yet entered the palace, so your master's requirements are quite high." Qin Zongsheng also knows that there are many hidden masters. He is probably one of them. This apprentice's

The talent is really great.

"The old man has given you the award, I still have a lot to learn." Humility makes people progress. At this apprentice level, I have nowhere to jump, so I should just study honestly, Zhou Mochen thought to himself but didn't show much.

"Then you are..., according to your skills, you shouldn't be." Qin Zongsheng looked at the store differently.

"Well, Master asked me to be self-reliant. I am still an apprentice. I haven't passed the exam yet. The resources are also given by Master." Zhou Mochen knew what he was going to ask and had nothing to hide.

"Ang..., it's a pity. Your master is also very capable. This tea and the ingredients are not simple." Qin Zongsheng's expression changed several times.

"This is my phone number. If you have any questions about cooking in the future, you can talk to me. I will go back the day after tomorrow. I will recommend you about the examination, so you don't have to wait. If you think you can pass it, just go directly

Go take the exam. Don't feel embarrassed. The food industry needs young people like you." Qin Zongsheng solemnly explained the matter of the exam. It's time for this circle to be stimulated by fresh blood. Otherwise, both of them will boast of being extraordinary and arrogant.
