In the kitchen, Jiang Yang placed all the ingredients on the table one by one.
After a quick inventory, I found 30 saury, three pounds of distiller's grains, 20 chili peppers, five pounds of multi-grain rice wine, tomatoes, sour chili peppers, ginger, garlic, and pepper...
Zidane, standing aside, folded his hands. He wanted to see what tricks this young man could perform.
Having worked in Yanjiaguzhuang for 10 years, he believes that his cooking skills are among the best in the entire Longguo. No matter whether it is Zhang Daoqing's friends or Zhang Bailing's sisters, no one fails to praise his cooking skills.
Just last week, he had a deep exchange with Chen Shi, the famous golden spoon of Longguo, and gained a lot from it.
He was confident that his cooking skills must have improved and he could definitely teach the young man in front of him.
Just as Jiang Yang finished cleaning all the other ingredients and was about to process the saury, Qi Da reminded him:
"Saury is not easy to handle. If you don't control the strength well, the fish meat will be broken and the taste will be affected."
"Hey boy, can you do it? If not, let me do it!"
Jiang Yang ignored the man and took out a small boning knife. His movements were very quick and steady.
Each cut penetrates the fish meat to just the right depth, without breaking the fish spine, while allowing all the fish's internal organs to be removed.
The sharp tip of the knife was inserted into the fish head, and after rotating around it at a magical angle, the small fish head was actually removed directly.
At this time, Jiang Yang looked at the bald middle-aged man next to him with contempt.
"I can't, but can you?!"
Qi Da swallowed his saliva. He couldn't understand Jiang Yang's technique, but he knew that it was very powerful. Only someone with superb knife skills could achieve such a level.
However, seeing that Jiang Yang was so young, he snorted again.
"So what if you're good at swordsmanship!?
Without top-notch cooking skills, no matter how great your knife skills are, you can only be an assistant to chefs like us and will never be able to take charge of the kitchen.”
Qi Da knew that in order to master such powerful swordsmanship, he would have to spend a lot of time.
The young man in front of me must have spent all his time honing his knife skills instead of studying cooking.
"Okay, you come and prepare the ingredients for me.
I will cook a delicious meal for you.”
Looking at the ingredients on the table, he thought that Zhang Daoqing wanted this young man to help him.
Although the host did not tell him what he wanted to eat tonight, he sent all the ingredients to him at this time. He knew that the host must want to eat dishes such as saury.
“Today, let’s make a Kimchi Country-style saury kimchi soup!
The weather is warm now, so let's have some soup to warm ourselves up."
However, before he could heat the oil in the pan, Jiang Yang took the processed saury and poured it directly into the wine vat.
This action made Zida so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.
"What are you doing!?
Putting saury into the wine vat, isn't that a waste of food?"
"Go away, go away, you're just making trouble here."
He hurriedly pushed Jiang Yang, fearing that Jiang Yang would ruin the remaining saury.
But no matter how hard he used his hands.
Jiang Yang, who was a head taller than him, did not move at all.
However, the latter frowned, shook his shoulders violently, and said impatiently:
"Stop nagging me here. Do I need to know what I'm cooking?"
With a loud bang, Qi Da was shaken so hard that he lost his balance and accidentally fell onto a bucket beside him.
Jiang Yang stuffed all the remaining saury into the glass jar of the wine vat.
Then, take out the multi-grain rice wine and pour it all into the lees jar.
Then he covered the glass jar.
Jiang Yang glanced at the middle-aged man who was still watching stupidly, ignored him, and continued to do his own thing.
The kitchen here is very large and has several stoves.
Choose a slightly larger stove, heat the iron pot, and pour in cold water.
Then put an iron rack into the iron pot, and put the glass jar of lees in the iron rack.
You can see that the cold water in the iron pot just covers half of the glass jar.
After a few minutes, the water in the iron pot began to boil.
Jiang Yang glanced at the time on his phone. After 30 minutes, he could proceed to the next step.
"Don't touch my pot, or you'll be in trouble."
After saying this, he left the room.
Qi Da stared at Jiang Yang fiercely, and he didn't dare to touch the iron pot.
He was just scared. This guy is so strong.
However, since the other party was going to the living room, he could just go there to complain.
"Just wait! When Master Zhang finds out you've wasted the food, they'll definitely scold you to death.
I don't know how you got in, but I'm sure your salary will be deducted."
After wiping the water stains off his body, Qi Da walked out of the kitchen.
......
In the living room, Jiang Yang sat in front of Zhang Daoqing.
Holding the teacup, he took small sips.
However, Zhang Daoqing didn't care and was drinking tea by himself.
Qi Da, who had just walked over, was immediately indignant when he saw Jiang Yang's attitude.
"Young man, do you know what politeness is?"
"As a cook, what qualifications do you have to sit down and drink tea with Master Zhang?"
Then he added:
"Master Zhang, this young man just now actually marinated the saury in wine lees, added a large amount of rice wine to the lees, and then cooked it in an iron pot with boiling water.
Although I don't know what dish he's cooking, from my understanding, he's clearly wasting the ingredients!"
"I've been a chef for over 30 years, but I've never heard of anything being made from pickled saury and sake lees."
However, Zhang Daoqing was not angry. Instead, he looked at the young man sitting on the sofa and drinking tea with surprise.
He put down the teacup and then slowly uttered words of surprise.
"I'm even more looking forward to what you call the leap over the dragon gate!
There is such a novel cooking method that even Zida, who has been a chef for more than 30 years, has never seen it before."
Jiang Yang blew a breath, and then reminded:
"This cook of yours looks down on me!
I feel like I’m too young to cook anything decent.”
Then, he snorted again.
"After staying here for so long, I've really become a frog in a well.
How can you understand the food of this genius?
Even Master Yan wouldn't criticize me for cooking, so who the hell are you? "
Although Jiang Yang's expression was calm, one could tell from his tone that he was unhappy.
He hates people pointing fingers at him while he's cooking.
If that person's cooking skills are indeed similar to mine, or he is a leader in the food industry.
He might have listened to it a bit, but this person didn't even know about the dish "Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate" which has been passed down in the Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years. It was conceivable that his cooking skills were just so-so.
