Chapter 166 Good tongue
After Qin Huai finished eating crab roe and roasted wheat, he found that he might still underestimate this snack.
He silently ate two of the three crab roe roasted wheat he had picked up, leaving one for Huang Anyao who was asking for help everywhere, and then said:
"Master Zheng, can you demonstrate it to me again?"
"No problem!" Zheng Da was so happy.
He was not very good at saying that superb technology and lack of language would make him seem to be not very powerful, and the production process was even more ordinary. Qin Huai had this awareness and only looked at it without asking Zheng Da’s happiness, so he prepared the materials immediately and started the demonstration.
Just like the process just now, the live shrimps are peeled, the meat is taken, and the meat is chopped.
Crabs pick up meat.
Pour Shaoxing wine, salt and other seasonings, grind and stir.
Just as Zheng Da was stirring the filling, Qin Huai asked: "Master Zheng, how do you control the seasoning level of this filling?"
Qin Huai knew that Zheng Da was likely to not explain it, because when he was making snacks in the Qin breakfast restaurant before, Qin Congwen also asked him this question, but he couldn''t explain it.
Qin Huai knew that mixing fillings was a very sensation-dependent process. Just like the traditional Chinese recipes, the description of the amount of each seasoning is basically a small spoon, a little, and a moderate amount. Unlike the recipes found on the Internet, which can be accurate to grams, these little, a moderate amount are actually feelings.
In ordinary families, if one day a child wants to learn how to cook and ask his parents how much salt to put in to make braised pork, his parents will definitely say half a spoonful.
As for whether this small half spoon is 1/3 or 1/4 spoon, or to accurately reach other quantities, it depends on your performance.
The taste of cooking is tried.
Some people do not have the talent in this area, and they may have to try it many times before they can feel what kind of method that little thing is. But some people are naturally very sensitive. They only need to use their tongue to taste the taste. They can probably tell whether a certain seasoning is put too much or too little. They can adjust it by themselves next time they make it. Over time, they will adjust a set of their own stable taste.
In fact, there are only a few masters like Huang Shengli who can explain clearly and carefully analyze and accurately point out the problem.
There are not many famous teachers these days.
Of course, there are very few masters like Zheng Da who are completely incomprehensible.
Although most normal masters may not understand it very well, they can still tell something.
However, Qin Huai said before that he can actually understand Zheng Da’s teaching model, especially the sentence you can feel, you know this feeling.
Can the third person watching feel Qin Huai doesn’t know, he can really feel it anyway.
Zheng Da’s answer was not as expected by Qin Huai.
"This is...is...in fact, this is from...how to control this seasoning...seasoning is...so...that''s actually..."
It can be heard that Zheng Da really wants to provide some accurate language guidance, but his ability is limited, and this track is not suitable for him.
After hesitating for a long time, Zheng Da finally chose to answer in the way he was most familiar with.
“You have to find the feeling.”
"It is normal to not be sure when you first make it. This kind of very detailed seasoning cannot be taught. You can only roughly see a standard range of quantity. When you start making it yourself, steam the roasted wheat and taste it, you will understand what the problem is."
"Usually, the simpler the ingredients, the fewer the types of seasonings, the more difficult it is to season. As long as you have some problems with any seasoning, it will affect the final taste. At this time, the chef needs to have a sensitive tongue."
After Zheng Da finished speaking his standard answer, he still said something useful. These useful words inspired him, and before Qin Huai could react, Zheng Da happily continued to say it.
"Oh, actually, Xiao Qin, you''ve been delayed."
"You just asked me how my master taught me and my senior brother back then. I mentioned it a little bit and didn''t finish it. The most important thing for a chef is not strength and understanding, but the most important thing is actually his tongue."
"If you don''t have enough strength, you can practice it. If you don''t have enough understanding, you can also fill it up. If you can''t explain the truth, you can have a day to get your head out of it, and smart people will be stuck in an inexplicable bottleneck. But the tongue is really important. If a chef does not have a good tongue to taste dishes, it will be difficult for a hundred feet to go further."
"Don''t be stupid when I tell you the problem. Sometimes it''s not that I can''t explain it clearly, but that these things are difficult to explain clearly."
“A lot of things are not talked about, but tasted.”
"Why did my master accept me and my senior brother as his apprentices back then? It was because we both had a good tongue. You can''t even think of how my master conducted the auditions. Ten plates of white-burned shrimps, one plate was not white-burned, and it added a little bit of seasoning that is difficult for normal people to taste."
"I can eat one plate after another, and I can drink water in the middle, and I will say that I will add seasoning to the promotion."
"The second round was the sauce for the scalloped shrimp. There were 10 sauces. The recipe for one portion was different from the other 9 portions, but the difference was not big. Each person could only taste twice per portion, and if you were right, advance."
"This is the selection of thresholds. You can''t even think of how exciting it was at that time. Alas, it''s different times. If you hold a similar cooking competition now, you will let the chefs taste the taste in the first round first, and those who don''t have tongues will be eliminated. Then compare other basic skills, knife skills, and various categories, and finally decide the chef with the strongest comprehensive strength, which will definitely be exciting!"
Zheng Da spoke happily. Although the topic became more and more biased, Qin Huai listened with relish.
"What is the standard for judging a good tongue?" Qin Huai asked curiously.
"There is no standard." Zheng Da said, "A good tongue is a good tongue. If you give him a dish, he can eat it himself without saying anything."
"Now there are many types of seasonings. In the early years, if we push them forward for decades, some people will deliberately mix and crush the seasonings together in order to avoid spreading their own secret recipes. But this situation can only prevent ordinary competitors. A powerful chef will know what is in the dish by taking a bite. Eating them a few more times can even guess the proportions."
"I remember my master told us back then that the real secret recipe is not how good the ingredients are, but the technique and cooking skills, which is the unique skill that others cannot steal."
"Then how about my tongue?" Qin Huai asked.
"No, I said it." Zheng Da said bluntly.
"You must have a good tongue."
Yeah?
Qin Huai still has some doubts. According to the game system rating, his tasting is high-end.
Qin Huai knows that advanced level is already a very good level. His high-end seasoning is enough to cope with most dim sums, even some difficult dim sums, which are not the highest rating.
There are masters at the advanced level and above. The master level upgrade requires a full million experience. If you allow upgrades, it means that there are other levels at the master level or above.
If you look at it this way, it seems that the advanced one is not that advanced either.
Seeing that Qin Huai seemed to be a little unbelievable, Zheng Da smiled and said nothing.
Zheng Da had little contact with Qin Huai. Judging from the frequency and time, his relationship with Qin Huai was far inferior to Zheng Siyuan and Huang Shengli. However, Zheng Da thought he knew Qinhuai well and had always supported Huang Shengli''s idea of ??taking Qinhuai to the world and letting the world meet Qinhuai.
Zheng Da felt that Qin Huai was a bit too ungenius as a genius.
Zheng Da has been a self-aware genius since he was a child.
He has a talent for cooking and does a good job in business. It is because he knows that he is a genius that he is arrogant and does not recognize him as a chef in a state-owned hotel. He let Huang Shengli be a master, but he did not let him leave his job and go into business in anger when he was a master.
A normal genius, not only looks up at the sky, but at least he has to be used to the stars supporting the moon, far beyond his peers.
Qinhuai is exactly the opposite.
He is obviously a genius, and even among geniuses, he is a very rare type of talent. He has always been a leader since childhood and has been a leader, but he seems to be very self-aware.
Some children are naturally sensitive and inferior. They always expect the worst plans due to their growth environment. They are obviously good at strength but still feel that they are not good enough. They often give up before they start doing things.
But Qin Huai’s personality is not like this.
Huang Shengli didn''t understand, but Zheng Da understood a little.
He used to be like this for a while. When he was working in a state-owned hotel, he found that no matter how far his level was beyond his peers, he could not reach the height of his master.
At that time, he was very frightened and uneasy, even internal friction, anxious and self-blame, feeling that he was just like that. He was not a genius, but just an ordinary mediocre person.
Zheng Da felt that Qin Huai’s situation was a little different from that time. He always felt that he was very good. He suddenly encountered a hurdle that was difficult to overcome and could not accept it for a while, so his emotions collapsed briefly.
Qin Huai''s mentality and condition were obviously much better than he was at that time. Qin Huai seemed to have encountered an insurmountable hurdle before he discovered that he was a genius. He has been unable to cross over for many years afterwards. He has become accustomed to a mountain in front of him, so he has a very wrong understanding of himself.
Zheng Da really wants to ask Qin Huai, do you have a master secretly behind my back?
Who is that master? Tell me his name, I''ll go to battle him, how can I teach my apprentice? How could this hurt the apprentice''s self-confidence? Isn''t this misleading the children!
Do you understand teaching apprentices? If you don’t know how to change people, I will teach you, I will understand!
Zheng Da talked about some interesting nonsense while talking nonsense. He made crab roe roasted wheat.
When Zheng Da made crab roe roasted wheat, Qin Huai ate the roasted wheat left for Huang Anyao.
A little hungry.
Qin Huai thinks that watching the production process while tasting the production results is more helpful for learning.
Moreover, Huang Anyao could catch up with the second batch, so he didn''t send WeChat to ask for it. He changed to send WeChat to confirm when the crab roe and roasted wheat will be released and whether he could catch up with the most palatable one.
Two batches of crab roe and roasted wheat were finished, and the afternoon teaching was coming to an end.
Qinhuai has no time to try it yourself. Since you want to make crab roe and roasted wheat, the entire process of preparing ingredients must be done by the chef himself. Qinhuai didn’t make snacks with fresh shrimp stuffing, and crab meat and crab roe were even more of a blind spot in his knowledge. If you are not familiar with the ingredients, you should be more in touch with the ingredients.
In a long string of nonsense, Zheng Da repeatedly emphasized that the content related to teaching is that the chef must prepare the ingredients in the whole process.
The preparation process is not troublesome, it is nothing more than picking shrimp meat, crab meat and crab roe.
Only by preparing ingredients by hand can you become familiar with the ingredients in the shortest time possible, establish connections, and better seasoning.
Qin Huai thought Zheng Da’s words were very reasonable.
I even think Zheng Da’s teaching level is OK.
The teacher’s personal level is here. Whether he can teach is the teacher’s business, and whether he can learn is the student’s ability.
Huang Shengli has a detailed explanation of the textbook, and Zheng Da has no explanation of the textbook, all of which are textbooks, and as long as the students have enough understanding, they can learn it.
"Thank you, Master Zheng, you have worked hard today. I''ll ask you to come early tomorrow afternoon. I''ll go back today to understand it. After lunch tomorrow, I''ll start making crab roe and roasted wheat. If there is anything wrong in the process, I''ll ask you to point it out in time." Qin Huai delivered his comments after class.
"No trouble, no trouble." Zheng Da said happily, "If you don''t understand when you go back, ask me any place you can''t figure out, and tell me anytime if you live in a house. Don''t tell Gong Liang next time you lack furniture. Tell me directly that I rented this house and I will provide you with it."
Qinhuai got off work happily. Although he didn''t do anything in the afternoon and ate 6 crab roe roasted wheat, he still worked hard.
Qinhuai went to the bone shop to make bones routinely after get off work, and then went home to rest.
When Qinhuai was in charge of bones, Gong Liangcai received the news that Zheng Da made two batches of crab roe roasted wheat for Qinhuai teaching this afternoon.
Gong Liang felt that the sky had collapsed.
The longevity noodles in the morning made him happy and relax his vigilance. He thought that he would get a big deal after eating them in the morning, but he didn''t expect that there would be even bigger things in the afternoon.
A mistake!
Zheng Da’s heart is so dirty!
Play the east and attack the west, play tactics with him, and play military tactics with him!
Isn’t you a childhood friend? Not an angel investor? Huang Ji’s kitchen has basically eaten one of them, but he, as the original shareholder of Huang Ji, didn’t even eat it!
He hasn''t eaten crab roe roasted wheat for a whole year!
Zheng Da is really not a thing. He clearly knows that he likes to eat crab roe and roasted wheat the most, but it is rare to cook but he doesn''t call him.
Gong Liang wanted to contact Qin Huai, and made indirect comments, indicating that he had not eaten crab roe and roasted wheat for a whole year.
By the way, I revealed my glorious achievements in eating crab roe yaki mai made by Master Ai for a month, proving that I am the most authoritative tasting officer of crab roe yaki mai, and no one knows crab roe yaki mai better than him.
No one!
If Qin Huai needs a gourmet who sits at the kitchen door to help him refer to it and eat some crab roe roasted wheat made by Zheng Da during the teaching process, he, Gong Liang, must be the best candidate.
Although he can''t say or write.
But he can eat.
He can taste it if it tastes delicious!
Gong Liang wanted to send a message to Qin Huai.
But after thinking about it, I held back.
As a gold medal salesman, Gong Liang knows how to stop when he is good. He should not be too obsessed with it and do different things in different relationships.
His relationship with Qin Huai is not yet at the point where he can be stubborn.
Master Xiao Qin is already very good, so he has let him sit at the door of the kitchen and eat longevity noodles. Such a good relationship cannot be destroyed by his eagerness for quick success and instant benefits. Be patient.
Gong Liang feels that based on his understanding of Zheng Da, he has made so much crab roe and roasted mai today and will definitely not do it tomorrow.
He underestimated the enemy if he didn''t eat this time. Next time he must sit at the door of the kitchen to eat!
Then on the afternoon of the second day, Gong Liang got the news that Qinhuai made a batch of crab roe roasted wheat, and Zheng Da made another batch of crab roe roasted wheat.
According to people familiar with the matter, Qinhuai’s crab roe roasted wheat has been in a certain way, which is normal. If Qinhuai had just learned crab roe and roasted wheat and had no mistakes in one go, Gong Liang would have to consider whether to buy the house next to Qinhuai and move in.
But Zheng Da’s crab roe roasted wheat was performing normally.
All those who have eaten it have said it is OK.
This news made Gong Liang a little unable to sit still.
No, why didn’t Zheng Da follow the routine?
No matter who you are, don’t get off Zheng Da. Is it okay to make crab roe roasted wheat for another two days?
On the third day, Gong Liang did not leave after lunch in Huang Ji. When the guests were all gone, he moved a small stool and sat at the door of the kitchen.
Huang Ji everyone:…
This day finally came.
You can just sit in the kitchen with a small stool.
Today is Qinhuai’s first, and Zheng Da will do it again.
After yesterday''s overturn, Qinhuai has a further understanding of the difficulty of seasoning crab roe roasted wheat.
He was not an ordinary car accident yesterday.
It''s a super big failure.
Let’s just say that if Qin Luo made the crab roe roasted wheat made yesterday, Qin Luo would definitely open his eyes and ask who made it loudly? !
This is definitely not my brother’s skills. Who is slandering my brother’s reputation? Let’s stand up and I, Qin Luo, want to fight him to the end!
Fortunately, it wasn''t the crab roe roasted wheat made in Yunzhong Canteen, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
Qin Huai finally understood why most chefs would rather use the second method of crab roe roasted wheat that was several times more troublesome than touch the first one.
Too difficult.
This is a ruthless car accident.
That''s not what people eat roasted wheat.
When Qin Huai ate the roasted wheat he made yesterday, he even had the idea of ??adding some pepper if it really didn’t work.
Although you are lazy and opportunistic, it will also cover up the original flavor of fresh shrimp and crab meat, adding some pepper will at least not be so unpalatable.
Spices are really a great invention.
Qin Huai also deeply realized why Zheng Da said that he must have a good tongue.
It''s indeed a good tongue.
There were at least 10 small problems and 8 big problems when I took it down in one bite.
Then what you eat is roasted wheat? What you eat is the problem.
What I eat is a wrong question book.
Qin Huai quietly glanced at the task target at the kitchen door.
Why is Gong Liang here?
Why did he come at such a critical moment?
If you make crab roe roasted wheat later, if it is as bad as yesterday, Gong Liang would not have had a bite of crab roe roasted wheat, the favorability of Gong Liang would have been zero.
Master Xiao Qin''s fall.
Qin Huai took a deep breath.
We must do our best today.
Set a small goal.
This time I can only have 6 small problems and 5 big problems.
?Tomorrow, my friend and I will go global, and there is a high probability that we will not be able to do it. Then we will also go out later today and have no time to write tomorrow’s updates.
Please take the leave first.
