Chapter 750【Five Dragon Soup】
After calming down for a while, Li Yi began to arrange his work.
“Master Hao.”
Li Yicheng signaled to Hao Libao: "The soup stock is in this fresh-keeping cabinet. I leave all the soup making to you. I'll tell you what you need when I make it later."
"good."
Hao Libao agreed happily: "Just tell me what soup you want. I will wash some clear soup and prepare it later."
Li Yi also nodded in response: "Thank you for your hard work. It's enough to wash about ten pounds. If it's not enough, I can wash it again at any time."
Seeing them talking and responding, the disciples behind looked at Li Yi a little strangely, as if they were looking at a fool.
This guy is really in command?
Does he know the identity of Master Hao?
The executive chef of a state hotel, how many people in the entire industry dare to use him as the second chef?
This guy really handed over the work to Master Hao in a decent manner. How dare he do it?
However, after Li Yi finished arranging work for Hao Libao, he turned around and looked at the disciples behind him.
“Three stoves.”
Li Yichong asked his eldest disciple Lu Yuanshan: "Can you cook, stew, stew, and bake?"
Hearing his question, Lu Yuanshan was stunned and glanced at Hao Libao subconsciously.
But Hao Libao looked calm and had no intention of speaking.
So, Lu Yuanshan nodded honestly and replied: "Yes."
"good."
Li Yi smiled and said: "The [Jade Dragon Tendon], [Golden Scaled Baofu], and [Glaze Dragon Bone] will all be made by you."
Lu Yuanshan was shocked when he heard this.
These three dishes were all the dishes that the master had described to them last night. The master said they were as good as heaven and earth, but they didn't expect that Li Yi would directly give these dishes to him to cook.
“I can’t!”
He said something subconsciously.
“It’s okay, it’s very simple.”
Li Yi pointed at the casserole and said with a smile: "Just follow the method of braised dried abalone. Just replace the dried abalone with other ingredients and replace the abalone juice with broth."
Hearing what he said, Lu Yuanshan immediately felt relieved.
He can’t cook the dishes Li Yi mentioned, but he can still cook braised dried abalone.
At this time, Hao Libao said: "The raw materials have been taken care of for you. It's just a matter of burning them. Don't you know how to cook them?"
Hearing him speak, Lu Yuanshan said no more and nodded immediately: "I understand, master."
Immediately, Li Yi turned to his second apprentice and asked: "[Golden Dragon Offering Blessings] and [Oolong Spitting Pearls] are Master Hao's specialty dishes. You should be able to cook them, right?"
This question is easy to answer, and the second apprentice immediately responded: "Yes, the master has taught me."
"That's good."
Li Yi immediately ordered: "I'll leave these two dishes to you, Wu Zao, [Boiled Dragon Vegetable] and [Five Dragon Soup]."
Hearing Li Yi throw two dishes over to him, the third disciple's eyes suddenly widened and he hurriedly said, "I don't know how to cook these two dishes!"
“It’s okay, I’ll teach you.”
As Li Yi spoke, he took out the rolls and slices made yesterday from the refrigerator, and said: "This is the raw material of [Bailong Cai]. You are responsible for slicing and arranging it on the plate. Just put it in the pot and steam it. After it is out of the pot, you can cook it." Use carrots to carve a dragon head and claws, and cover it with a layer of glass gravy."
When the third disciple heard this, he felt a little relieved, but then he quickly asked: "What about [Five Dragon Soup]?"
He had heard the master talk about [蟠龙菜] last night, but he had never heard of [五龙草].
“[Five Dragon Soup] is also simple.”
Li Yi rolled up his sleeves and signaled: "Come with me to get the materials. I'll do it once and you'll know how to do it. The water table will come too."
With that said, he turned back and walked towards the storage room.
The third disciple hesitated and looked at Hao Libao.
Hao Libao glared at him, and then called to the disciple in charge of the water platform: "Little Ma, go!"
Seeing this, Xiao Ma hurriedly followed with the three apprentices, and soon they each came out with a plastic basket.
Li Yi was also carrying a small basket, in which the eels were twisting and moving, full of energy. "Shuitai, kill the two fish and the partridge, Wuzao, come over and take a look."
Li Yi said and put the small basket on the table next to the stove.
"oh."
The third apprentice glanced at the lively carp in the pony basket and the similarly writhing eels, then came to Li Yi's side with the basket in hand.
There were several cooked sea cucumbers placed in his basket. They were plump, plump and bouncy, and seemed to feel good in the hand.
Putting the sea cucumber down, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Are these five kinds of dragons?"
"right."
Li Yi poured the eels into the pot, covered the pot, turned on the fire, and explained casually: "The five dragons are the earth dragon, the golden dragon, the oolong, the Zilong and the flying dragon.
Tulong is the bean-toothed eel. People in Guangdong and Bay Province call it Tulong. It mainly eats meat, so you can just take its meat.
The golden dragon is a carp, everyone should know this, right? Just take the fish roe.
Oolong is sea cucumber, needless to say, just take the sea cucumber skin.
Zilong is eel, taken from the dish of Zilong taking off his robe.
This is a traditional Hunan dish, which is stir-fried shredded eel.
When eel is processed, it needs to be broken, deboned, headless, and skinned, just like an ancient military commander taking off his robe, so it is called Zilong.
The eel here needs to be boiled alive and the eel blood in its belly needs to be extracted.
Eel blood is a great tonic. It can dispel phoenixes, activate blood circulation and strengthen yang.
But when cooking, you must control the heat and not overcook, otherwise the blood will be overcooked and it will be difficult to extract. "
As he spoke, he flipped a stainless steel basin over the lid of the pot, filled half a basin of water with it, and then warned: "When cooking eels, keep the water temperature at 70% and cook it slowly at low temperature for an hour. Do not let the water escape during this period." Open it, you can't open it, you have to keep an eye on it the whole time, remember this."
Hearing this, the third disciple nodded quickly.
Hearing Li Yi's explanation, he was already sure that Li Yi had something.
He is from Xiang Province, and he can also cook the dish of Zilong taking off his robe.
But this dish has basically never left Hunan Province, and no one from outside has heard of it, but Li Yi actually knows about it.
He also knows how to extract eel blood, but he always thought it was his unique skill, but Li Yi actually knew it too.
At this time, he finally understood the feeling that the master mentioned last night.
They didn’t say anything, but they let you know how powerful they are without even realizing it.
“The flying dragon is the hazel pheasant, but now it is a protected animal and cannot be eaten, so partridge is used instead.”
Li Yi glanced at the pony who was busy killing partridges at the water table, and explained: "Feilong takes the bones, stews them for two hours, and then stews other kinds of skin, meat, blood, seeds, onions and ginger. Remove the fishy smell, add a little pepper and it’s done, okay?”
gone.
The third apprentice nodded, full of confidence: "Just leave this dish to me."
“The difficulty of this dish is to get the blood from the eel. Are you sure it’s okay?”
Li Yi asked another question.
"no problem."
The third disciple put on a Hunan accent and said with a smile: "I am from Hunan Province. I can do it when Zilong takes off his robe."
Hearing what he said, Li Yi felt relieved immediately: "Okay, I'll thank you for the hard work."
Seeing that they had finished communicating, Hao Libao stepped forward and told the three apprentices: "Do it well. Master Li is teaching you a special dish. Why don't you thank me?"
“Thank you, Master Li.”
The third disciple thanked him honestly.
In any case, someone taught me how to cook a dish, so I should express my gratitude.
Seeing this, Hao Libao looked at Li Yi with satisfaction and asked curiously: "Master Li, you said there are nine dragon dishes at the main banquet. There are already seven. What are the remaining two?"
Li Yi wiped his hands and said with a smile: "[Explosive Dragon Beard] and [Canghai Dragon Ball]."
