Chapter 85 Cabbage
Lin Zhusheng ran to the kitchen with the cabbage.
Although it is not yet time for dinner, the chefs have already started preparing the food in advance, and there are people ready at each workstation.
"Manager Lin, what can I do for you?"
The young cook quickly greeted him.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Lin Zhusheng slowly came to the stove and saw the head chef, Master Mao, standing in front of a nun.
Before I even got close, a fresh and fragrant smell kept entering my nose.
Master Mao looked so serious that he didn't even notice him approaching.
There were a lot of ingredients in the pot at this moment. After he scooped out the ham, fat chicken and other ingredients with a strainer, he also filtered out the fine residue inside bit by bit.
During this process, he also reminded his apprentice: "Chop the pork breast, chicken and duck breast, and pork into minced meat, and remove the fat and fascia."
After giving the order, he wiped his hands and looked to the side.
"Xiaolin, is there something wrong?"
Lin Zhusheng quickly smiled and said, "Chef Mao, this broth is amazing. Are you going to make boiled cabbage?"
In fact, boiled cabbage, although the name sounds very ordinary, is actually very troublesome to make.
Boiling water is not just boiling water, but also adding chicken, duck, ham and various delicious ingredients to cook into a pot of broth.
Because the meat puree is repeatedly used to absorb impurities, the final soup is extremely clear and transparent, just like clear water, so it is named boiled water.
This dish also has another popular name, "Seemingly Clean".
Nowadays, restaurants will carve lotus flowers out of cabbage hearts to make the dishes look more attractive, and pour broth on them in front of the customers. The dishes look just like lotus flowers, noble and elegant.
One of the signature dishes of Tongsheng Restaurant is boiled cabbage. Many people order it every day, so the process is the same. Lin Zhusheng is already familiar with it, so he can see it from the side.
Master Mao did not answer, but his face showed a bit of impatience, and his expression clearly said "if you have to fart, fart quickly."
Lin Zhusheng didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly handed the cabbage over: "Chef Mao, would you like to take a look at this cabbage?"
Master Mao put the cabbage in his hand, sniffed it, and weighed it with his hand.
"This cabbage is quite good, very juicy and sweet. Is the store going to change suppliers?"
He handed the cabbage to his apprentice and said, "Prepare it. I'll make it into sleepy cabbage for you to try later."
Lin Zhusheng quickly shook his head: "You misunderstood. How could I change suppliers casually? I found this cabbage by chance. I wanted to show you the quality of this cabbage."
Chef Mao turned around and continued cooking: "Anyway, the quality is better than the cabbage in our store."
"What?!!"
Lin Zhusheng was a little surprised, as he had never tasted this cabbage before.
Master Mao said without blinking, "If you don't believe me, try it later and you'll know."
Since the kitchen staff were already very experienced in making boiled cabbage, the clear broth was ready in no time.
The apprentice also processed the cabbage heart.
Since I was just trying the dish, I didn't do any elaborate cooking. I just poured boiling water over the tenderest pieces of cabbage hearts and placed them on the plate.
But Lin Zhusheng still found a big difference.
This cabbage looks more beautiful than the one in the store, and after blanching, the leaves are more upright, with the right softness and hardness, just like a flower blooming.
"Try it together?"
Master Mao asked several disciples to taste it together, and Lin Zhusheng also quickly picked up some with chopsticks.
This broth is made by Master Mao, so it is cooked to the perfect temperature. Even though it is full of purine, its delicious taste still attracts people's attention.
But I was a little tired of eating boiled cabbage in the comments, but today I felt that it had a more refreshing and delicious taste.
Is this cabbage really so good that it can make the broth sweet and fresh?
Lin Zhusheng quickly tasted the cabbage again and was shocked.
The cabbage tasted crisp, fresh and sweet, and had completely absorbed the broth. What surprised him even more was that the two blended perfectly. It could be said that the cabbage was not overshadowed by the broth at all, but instead maintained its original flavor.
Therefore, it is refreshing and light, yet harmonious and natural, and is truly delicious.
Because the apprentice's tongue is extremely sensitive, if it is not sensitive, it is unlikely that he can become the chef's apprentice here, so the difference is noticed all of a sudden.
"Master, this cabbage is so delicious, much more delicious than before. Your cooking skills have improved again!"
Master Mao didn't care much.
"It's not that my skills have improved, it's the flavor of this cabbage. The quality of this cabbage is really excellent."
Chef Mao took another piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He couldn't help showing a somewhat moved expression on his face: "This tastes even better than I thought."
Lin Zhusheng suddenly became excited.
With their scale, it is very difficult to improve their signature dishes even a little bit.
Especially the diners in the restaurant, there are always some gourmets with particularly sensitive tongues. If this kind of cabbage can be used to make boiled cabbage, it will definitely attract more people's attention and attract more people to eat.
Master Mao also realized this: "Where did you buy this cabbage?"
"What is the farm's yield like? Is the quality stable? Does it have relevant qualifications? If it can guarantee both quality and quantity, we will apply to the board of directors to change the ingredients."
After hearing these words, Lin Zhusheng asked and felt disappointed.
The lottery blogger seemed to have said that the cabbage was only from a farm restaurant, so the supply could not be guaranteed to be stable, and it would probably be difficult to obey.
"I'll just go and ask..." Lin Zhusheng was a little bored.
…
Zeng Fubai was a little surprised at this moment. He didn't expect that the second cabbage would be taken away by the manager of Tongsheng Hotel by such a coincidence. This hotel is a very famous old restaurant.
When he opened the video, he found that the manager had sent him more than a dozen private messages in a row.
First, he explained his purpose very sincerely, and then praised the cabbage for being particularly delicious.
Finally, I carefully asked where the cabbage came from.
Zeng Fubai was completely confused.
Weren't these cabbages picked from the field on the hill behind Qiongye Restaurant? He had to beg and plead before he could buy three cabbages.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhusheng actually asked him where the goods came from. Although there were a lot of cabbages, it was not a question of whether the goods came from or not!
And from his point of view, the owner of Qiongye Restaurant only grew a small amount of cabbage, and even if he wanted to buy some, he had to beg hard.
In the end, I only bought three.
Tongsheng Hotel actually wants Qiongye Restaurant to supply them with cabbage. With such a huge demand, it’s impossible just to think about it!
