Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 175 Last-minute success
In the following time, Wang Yong was actually making soup.The budget was obviously a bit over, so he used his own money for the rest.For chefs, the most valuable investment is not buying land, houses, or buying and selling people, but investing in their own cooking skills!
Cooking skills are the foundation of one's life. As long as one improves one's cooking skills, fame, status and money can all be obtained!Following Wen Ming's follow-up, the manor began to be built rapidly.Yesterday, we also started to plan to build poultry cages and livestock houses. In the future, we will not only raise sheep and pigs, but also plan to raise cattle if conditions permit.

"Test No. 12 is about to turn off... No. [-] is about to go!" Guo Jia acted as a helper, and quickly accumulated his understanding of umami in the process of cooking the soup.

Even when she is free, she will exercise some strength, and yoga has not stopped.After all, it is the end of the year. During this period of time, the construction is temporarily suspended. In the next ten days, there will be no work for the time being.In the barracks, only the soldiers who are necessary to patrol and be on duty are left, and the others take turns to rest.

If you have the conditions, go to the surrounding counties to play, if you don't have the conditions, just go around Xu County.

"The taste is still a little disharmonious, and there is still a problem with the control of the heat..." After draining the No. [-] work, Wang Yong tasted it. After seven or eight times of trial and error, he has found the most suitable scaling for the soup. Ratio, and then began to improve, but this improvement seems to have failed.

Just like what Xun Yu said, if you can't put your own stamp on Shangtang, then it is a substandard product.

On the basis of pork and chicken, Wang Yong chose several materials and tried in different directions.For example, add duck or lamb, or even fish.Or use pig's trotters, mutton, fish and old hens to make soup.This is the most basic animal protein stock.

On this basis, there are also vegetable broths derived from this, such as adding soybeans, carrots, tomatoes, etc., vegetables with a strong sweetness and obvious umami taste.

The last is the spice broth, on the basis of the original soup, adding appropriate spices to enhance the flavor.For example, pepper, such as tangerine peel, green onion and ginger, etc...

Obviously, if you really want to find it, all three directions can lead to the right path. The key is which path he chooses to take.Vegetables, meat or spices.Behind every road, there are countless forks, which means that he has no extra energy to walk through them all.

The No. [-] work is the result of adding mutton and fish, but the proportion is not correct, and the flavor becomes weird.And if mutton is added, I feel that lean pork does not need to be put in.

As far as this process is concerned, it is necessary to constantly find out the best ratio. It may take more than ten days to find out just to add one more material. After all, the cooking time of four hours cannot be reduced.

"No.12 is ready!" Guo Jia reminded, and Wang Yong also started to try.This is the result of seasoning with spices, the aroma of pepper, the sweetness of tangerine peel, I don't know what the result will be.

"The ratio is wrong, but it's very close to the finished product!" Wang Yong took a sip and immediately smiled.Among the three pots of soup, only this one is the closest to the finished product.After a pause, he looked at Guo Jia, "Continue to pay attention to NO.11, keep the recipe on the tenth, and test it slowly in the future, focusing on NO.12!"

Not long after the banquet, the first thing to do is to have a good soup, which is boiled with pepper, tangerine peel, and a little green onion and ginger!It is good to be cautious at the beginning, too much seasoning will make the built-up fragrance unbalanced.

I remember that in an episode of Mou Ling, it was said that when different spices are built, the compound scent can indeed enhance each other.But random matching will easily suppress their respective characteristics, leading to the breakdown of balance.In theory, the maximum upper limit of spices is 20, although I don't know if this data is correct.

In other words, the real strength of a super chef is to build a balance of 21, or even 22 spices... In other words, it seems that a certain spirit has not been updated before he crossed over.

"Suddenly felt that in the culinary world, I was just an ordinary newcomer..." Only by truly devoting myself to this world, instead of being a member of the previous 'cooking club', can I feel the pressure.

It doesn't have the joy of cooking before. Instead, it is like a traveler walking in the desert, taking the next step with difficulty, and no one knows whether it is right or wrong.Once you make a mistake, you will be lost forever.

"Then, start to cook the soup from No. 15 to No. [-]! Prepare the ingredients, and if you don't have enough, go to Wanshiwu to buy!" Wang Yong immediately gave the order, and the surrounding chefs immediately became busy.

Working under Wang Yong during this period, they have made great progress in terms of knife skills, seasoning, material selection and heat, and even their understanding of umami is a completely unknown field.

Sometimes everyone knows that eating shrimp or seafood is very 'sweet', but this sweetness is obviously not 'sweet', and I don't know what it is.I didn't know until now that it was called 'fresh'.

Three and 10 minutes later, NO.11 soup was successfully cooked.This soup not only adds carrots and soybeans, but also several pieces of kelp head, which is the root part of kelp, and the umami taste is several times that of kelp itself.It is also said that monosodium glutamate is extracted from it.

Whether it is or not, umami is undoubted, as the source of plant umami, so try to add it to the soup.

The sweetness of carrots is similar to tangerine peel, but different from tangerine peel.There is no doubt about the unique fat and umami taste of soybeans. Tomatoes... can also be used to make soup, but it is not suitable for the current recipe.

Perhaps, if there really is such a high-speed separator or something that only extracts pure colorless tomato juice... Forget it, Wang Yong never considers things that are too high-end.

"The umami flavor of kelp head is too strong and the taste is too special, which directly destroys the balance of the soup... In fact, there was a problem with the direction from the beginning. Animal protein broth should not be added, but kelp and other ingredients should be used directly to make plant broth! "Wang Yong sighed, this is the most failed soup recipe.

"Then conduct an in-depth exploration of NO.12, time is running out!" Guo Jia nodded.

"Prepare a few more proportions of soup, it must be prepared within today!" Wang Yong nodded.

Seeing the time passing by little by little, finally, the early morning passed, and theoretically, it is now the New Year.In a year without the Spring Festival Gala, naturally no one will count down the time. Besides, there is no timer accurate to the second in this year, and the water leak is not so accurate.

"No. 17 soup, perfect!" He tasted the latest No. [-] soup, took a sip, and immediately announced.

"Long live!" Guo Jia and the other cooks burst into cheers when they heard this. After working for so long, it finally paid off!

　The protagonist's exploration of culinary skills has only really begun now.In the past, it could only be called a hobby, and then pretended to be forced with the help of a lot of recipes from later generations.But from now on, it can be regarded as officially moving towards the road of a real chef.After all, it can't be Liu Maoxing or Xingping Chuangzhen from the beginning... Anyway, it won't affect the follow-up installation. If it is forced, a little foreshadowing is also necessary.
