Chapter 162 Do a world-class masterpiece
"But after the phone dialed, I suddenly didn't know how to speak. I didn't know what I was thinking at that time. I just called you with intuition. But as soon as I heard your voice, I felt that I was just a partner relationship with you, and you were my boss. Even if you went further, I was just an ordinary friend. So after hesitating for a while, I didn't say it at the beginning. Just when you asked if it was a job, I followed the conversation... But as I was talking, I suddenly felt very lonely. It seemed that when I was saddest, I couldn't have someone to chat with me, so I said that to you at the end.; Lewen Mobile Network"
Jester and Claudia were just sitting here and chatting. It was mainly Claudia who was talking about it. He was just being treated as a person to talk to her. He heard her talk about her interesting things, the past of her and her father. In fact, most of what Claudia said in the Los Angeles restaurant in the beginning was the truth.
She has never had a mother since she was a child, so she knew it since she was a child. She is also very smart and hardworking. No matter what she does, she wants to be the best one. You must know that if a person is both outstanding, then many people will like to make friends with you, but if she is outstanding in everything, then no one likes to be friends with her.
This is Claudia.
Seeing that it was getting late and Jester was a little hungry, he asked Claudia what she liked to eat. However, after hearing Jester's question, Claudia just smiled, as if she had temporarily escaped from her previous sadness. She said confidently: "Go to my house and try my cooking skills." When Claudia said this, Jester was very surprised. He found it difficult to believe that the other party was proficient in cooking. However, when he thought of her two-Michelin-star restaurant, he felt relieved. People who could open such a good restaurant were either very good at cooking. They were proficient in food.
Claudia's residence is just a not-so-large apartment in London. The decoration style is very simple, monotonous, cold and hard, black and white, which symbolizes authority. Although it is very consistent with her identity, it does not match her gender. If the other party had not brought her here, Jester would not have believed that this was a house for a girl who had not yet been married.
Although Claudia is British, her cooking has no similarity to British cuisine. In her kitchen, he not only saw some kitchen utensils for making Western food, but also saw Chinese woks and test casseroles. This surprised Jester. It was the first time he saw a foreigner who could cook Chinese food.
Seeing Jester's puzzled look, Claudia smiled and said simply: "I like food very much. I like food that I make myself more, including Chinese food, so I learned it from a Chinese chef before. I didn't make it very well. I can only say that I learned a little bit of fur."
After hearing this, Jace nodded. It was basically impossible to learn Chinese food without one-on-one words and deeds from the chef and a lot of time. When he saw Claudia, he was also a little itchy. You know, his family was a cooking art. Although his cooking skills were not outstanding, it was okay to go to an ordinary hotel to be a chef. However, what made Jace hesitant was that he wanted to make Chinese food, but did Claudia have some necessary Chinese condiments here?
Unexpectedly, when Claudia heard that Jester was going to cook and show her skills, she immediately opened a cabinet in the kitchen, and placed various auxiliary ingredients for Chinese food in different categories. She also said that even if it is very common in Chinese food, ginger and garlic, she knows where to sell it in the UK, not to mention other ingredients.
However, after thinking about it over and over again, Jester may have chosen a very famous dish, but it is also very difficult to cook. The whole set of procedures of this dish has more than 20 processes. It can be said that it is the most test of cooking skills among Sichuan cuisine. It is the pinnacle of Sichuan cuisine. It is rare to be on the table and get a dish at a state banquet.
There is another allusion about this dish. As we all know, Sichuan cuisine is one of the most suitable dishes for home cooking because of its simple production and ordinary ingredients. However, such cuisine also brings a disadvantage to its development. Because these advantages that can spread Sichuan cuisine, it encountered a bottleneck when Sichuan cuisine wants to develop into a high-end cuisine. Because it is too popular, the style is too low.
When a person's status reaches a certain level, it is not the most important thing for such people whether a dish is delicious or not, because whether it is the eight major cuisines or the four major cuisines, it can conquer everyone's taste buds in the hands of top cooks. At this time, for these people, what they eat is a kind of sensation.
Therefore, it is naturally difficult to gain a foothold in places like Beijing, without the exquisite Sichuan cuisine.
Of course, this allusion, Jester also looks at it from a book about the origins of famous dishes. As for whether it is true or not, it can only be a matter of opinion.
It was under Claudia's curious gaze that Jester began to make his own production, and Jester also saw Claudia's curious gaze, so he smiled and told the other party about the dish he was going to cook.
Claudia was also very interested in this kind of story, so she listened very seriously.
So, Jester was also telling the story carefully.
At that time, the capital city was undoubtedly the world of Shandong cuisine, and the representative of Shandong cuisine, Tanjiacai, was even more famous all over the world. It was in this case that Huang Jinglin, a famous Sichuan cuisine artist, went to the capital north and was fortunate to enter the imperial kitchen to serve as an imperial chef because he was appreciated by noble people.
In the imperial kitchen at that time, Shandong cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine were the most powerful. Although there were other cuisines, they could not compete with these two major cuisines at all, not to mention Huang Jinglin, the representative of Sichuan cuisine who could only enter the middle and low-end restaurants at that time. It was in this case that Huang Jinglin suffered a lot of difficulties, and this famous dish, known as the world's best, was also born under this situation.
You know, Cixi likes to eat vegetarian food, so she often asks the imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen to cook vegetarian food. This is not a problem for these imperial chefs with superb cooking skills. But suddenly one day, Cixi's old demon goddess had a whim and wanted to eat a vegetarian dish without any meat. Simply put, not to mention meat, fish, chicken, duck, and oil, you can't even add oil.
This time it was difficult for these imperial chefs with superb cooking skills. They were not unable to make them under these conditions, and they could even make them quite delicious. But the problem is that this is a royal meal, not just delicious. Usually Cixi is used to eating all kinds of dishes and delicacies they have racked their brains to come up with. How can this dish that can only be considered delicious?
It would be fine if she couldn't get her favor, but if she confessed to this old witch, it would be a serious crime.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Huang Jinglin, a newcomer who had just entered the imperial kitchen, was also worried. To be honest, he originally came with great revenge. He wanted to make a name for himself in the capital, but after he came, he realized that this place was not just about cooking, because which chef who could gain a foothold in the capital had his own unique skills?
Moreover, in the imperial kitchen, he was also excluded a lot and his life was not going well, so he, who had just arrived, simply wanted to resign and go home.
Just as he submitted his application for resignation, the task was completed. As the task came down, the head of the imperial kitchen agreed to his resignation, but asked him to participate in the cooking of vegetarian dishes that could not be added with any meat. After all, this time, no one could escape.
Unable to do so, Huang Jinglin had to agree.
But after seeing the conditions given by the old witch Cixi, he cursed and refused to use anything. How could he let him cook it? Is salt mixed with cabbage? Isn’t this nonsense?
As time goes by, the three days that Cixi asked for were getting closer and closer. All the chefs in the imperial kitchen did not come up with any good ways to cook this real vegetarian dish in the eyes of Cixi. Of course, it may be that someone thought of it and hid it quietly, not wanting to be exposed in front of others.
Finally, on the third day, when the day that the old witch Cixi asked for, all the imperial chefs walked into their own kitchens with different expressions.
Among them, there is Huang Jinglin who is completely different from others, with a calm and calm expression on his face. (To be continued. (.))
