Chapter 15: Food that makes people happy

"Ding"

At this time, the oven is preheated to 160 degrees, and the red wine and water in the cast iron pot have also boiled. Xia Yu wrapped the hot pot edges with cloth, picked up the boiling pot and put it in the oven.

Close the oven door and the set time was 30 minutes. Xia Yu turned around and walked towards the kitchen counter, leaving two chefs looking at each other, and Chef Xia Zhiqiu who was staring at the baking time in disbelief.

“It will be released in 30 minutes?”

"Impossible! We just did the regular steps, and we didn't see him secretly processing the beef. How could it be released in 30 minutes? If it was an ordinary oven, it would take at least one to two hours."

Chef Xiazhiqiu also frowned deeply as he listened to the low-key comments of the two chefs.

Where are the different links?

He held his chin with his hands, from the beginning of cutting beef to the final oven step, he thought about it over and over again, and finally a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and lost his voice, "Can it be... that he has tampered with the knife skills?"

No matter how outsiders think a lot, Xia Yu turned his back to them and was busy on his own.

Continue in the wok and fry the mushroom slices with melted butter.

Half an hour passed quickly, and with a tingling sound, the oven reminded him. Xia Yu turned around and took out the cast iron pot from the oven, poured the soup into the pan, and used a spoon to clean the foam and grease on the surface of the soup.

This is a fat removal step. If the taste is heavy, you can continue to add salt and pepper after removing the fat.

The soup should be heated and boiled, poured back into the cast iron pot, and added the fried mushroom slices and continued to cook on the gas stove.

In fact, many Western restaurants will cook stewed beef with burgundy red wine, stop at this step, cover it with a lid and put it in the refrigerator to prepare for tomorrow.

In other words, it means saving the dishes that are about to be completed until tomorrow, and when the guests order, they can be served on the table with a little heat.

You should know that if there is no special treatment method, it takes an average of 4 hours to cook a burgundy red wine stewed beef. Which restaurant’s guests are so patient?

"Dongdongdongdong..."

The silver-gloss kitchen knife jumped on the chopping board. Xia Yu finally grabbed the chopped parsley and sprinkled it on the surface of the dish. This complete stewed beef with burgundy red wine with a full color, aroma and flavor.

"Select the food--"

Xia Yu took off his apron and kitchen hat and gave instructions to the two chefs.

The aroma of the dishes has been scattered to the extreme during the placing process, and the whole kitchen has a strong beef flavor.

Uncontrolled peristalsis of the Adam's apple.

Two chefs sniffed the smell in the air and suddenly found that they were hungry and their stomach acid was severely secreted.

Seeing two drooling and unable to walk in front of the kitchen counter, Xia Yu was amused while washing his hands, "There is still a little left in the pot and the plate can't be filled. You can try my skills."

"Is it OK?" The two chefs' eyes lit up.

"If you don't want me, I will eat it myself. I have a big appetite and I will never mind too much...'

"don't want!"

A chef quickly found a fork and gave it to his companions. The two of them surrounded the cast iron pot on the kitchen counter and smelled the taste of the cooking coming from the pot at close range, with green and hungry eyes emerging from their eyes.

"laugh"

The silver-shiny fork pierced through one piece of beef with a slight prick.

A small piece of beef collapsed on the surface, and a stream of soup seemed to have found a catharsis opening, and it quickly overflowed from the hole pierced by the fork.

"So soft... Why are there so much soup hidden in the beef? Moreover, the beef has been fryed and baked, why is it so elastic...?"

Chef Xiazhiqiu was beside him, his eyes narrowed.

At the entrance of the beef, the expressions of the two chefs’ faces, from the initial shock to the delicious happiness, and finally a kind of piety as if looking up at the holy mountain.

At first, his appetite also occupied his heart. Xia Zhiqiu found a knife and fork, carefully cut off a horn of beef, and slowly put it into his mouth.

The rich meaty aroma immediately spread across the tip of the tongue.

Then, another sweet smell of red wine spread throughout the mouth.

The first feeling at the mouth was amazing. Chef Xiazhiqiu carefully savored it for a while before biting it gently. He chewed the beef in his mouth. The stronger smell made him wonder. The soup contained in the beef was swallowed with the meat.

Gulu.

The moment he swallowed it, the enjoyment on Chef Xiazhiqiu's face suddenly turned into shock.

My body is warm and floating in ecstasy.

Why is it so much that just a small mouthful makes people feel happy?

...

Starlight rotating Western Restaurant.

Three male diners yelled impatiently in the position.

"It's almost an hour, where is our burgundy red beef stew?" The bald diner rolled up his suit sleeves, looked at the watch, and kept shouting, "Is this the service of your restaurant for so long? Negative review!"

Two Chinese ladies sat silently not far away.

“Gourmet gangsters are so disgusting.”

A cute female tourist with round face posted a complaint Weibo post and secretly took photos to upload it, writing: "It's really a shame. Today, in Ami Yokocho, Neon Tokyo, I encountered the legendary food wandering. The chef of the restaurant was too tender and almost got a condom. However, I also met an interesting little brother because of this."

A smiley expression was attached to the end of Weibo.

“It’s served!”

The companion suddenly pulled her sleeve. The female tourist quickly put away her cell phone, held her round face with both hands, and looked very expectant.

The chef and the waiter successively placed six white round porcelain plates containing beef stew, side dishes and soup on two tables, three on this side and three on the other side.

As soon as the dishes were served, the two female tourists were attracted.

"The dishes are full of flavor and taste!" The round-faced female tourist couldn't wait to pick up the knife and fork, cut off a horn of beef and put it into her mouth. After the first bite, the female tourist couldn't close her mouth, surprised and happy.

"So soft and has a great taste! I have never eaten such soft beef, how to deal with it?!"

After swallowing the beef, the round-faced female tourist turned her head and stared at the two chefs.

"Also, after stir-frying and stewing, the meat has not become residue. On the contrary, it is very delicate and smooth. I swallowed it with the soup. I feel like I am almost immortal..."

The female tourist kept talking excitedly, her big eyes were bright, but she suddenly remembered that this was a Japanese Western restaurant, and two chefs who didn't understand Chinese stood awkwardly.

A young chef slowed down his speech in English with a strong accent: "Sorry, ma'am, this is not the work of our Chef Kasumichi."

Both female tourists understood.

"...Is it the little brother just now?" Both of them tasted this Western dish and looked at each other with incredible expressions.

Not long ago, they tasted the stewed beef with burgundy red wine from Chef Kasumichi. The dish was really good and was considered to be above medium-level among many Western restaurants.

But after tasting the burgundy red wine stewed beef in the latter dish, I looked back and thought about the taste of the previous dish. It is very obvious which one is better or worse.
