Fu Yu is the chef for tonight's medicated banquet. Ren Yuchang and Li Zongming originally came to taste the medicated banquet, but after arriving in the kitchen, no one mentioned leaving.
The two of them crowded in front of the kitchen counter and watched Fu Yu cooking herbal meals.
The two of them looked serious, which made others also become curious.
Everyone simply crowded in the back kitchen and watched Fu Yu make medicinal meals.
Liu Yiming is not good at cooking, he just watches the fun.
Xia Anni and her agent were curious about what kind of dishes this medicinal meal was, how it was made, what good things were used, and why it was so rumored to be so magical.
After Yao Shida entered the kitchen, he first weighed the identities of everyone present.
Among the group of people, except for Ren Yuchang and Li Zongming, who were relatively familiar with medicinal diet, the others were all laymen.
After all, Ren Yuchang and Li Zongming are traditional Chinese medicine doctors. They are usually too busy with work, and they cannot have the desire to cook by themselves.
Fu Yu's medicated meals only allowed them to take a look at the ingredients and formulas, so they didn't have to worry about being stolen.
Although everyone in the kitchen had different thoughts, their attention was focused on Fu Yu.
Only Fu Yu, except for a few polite greetings at the beginning, continued to focus on cooking. He didn't care about other people's onlookers and behaved very gracefully.
Ren Yuchang looked at it for a while and couldn't help but praise: "Xiao Fu's preparation of this herbal meal is indeed very authentic! Old Liu was full of praise for his cooking skills before."
When Yao Shi heard this, he quickly answered: "Xiao Fu, did you hear that? Dean Ren praised you. Dean Ren and Dr. Li are here now. If you have any questions, you can talk to them about this study." Opportunities are rare!
Ren Yuchang laughed: "I'll forget it. When it comes to traditional Chinese medicine and physical therapy, I'm quite good at it. When it comes to medicinal diet, I just want to try something new, but Lao Li does have more research in this area."
"Xiao Fu, you can talk to Dr. Li later. No, you have to change your name to Expert Li or Teacher Li soon. This is a new member of the National Medicinal Diet Research Association. You have to learn from it."
Fu Yu quickly raised his head: "That's necessary. It just so happens that I have a lot of questions that I don't quite understand. I can ask Teacher Li for advice when I have a chance later."
Li Zongming had also just been invited to join the National Medicinal Diet Research Association. This membership quota was obtained through Ren Yuchang's guidance and Liu Shaoxian's disciples.
Recommended by Liu Shaoxian, he had the opportunity to join the association.
Ren Yuchang smiled and said: "Xiao Fu is pretty good, and Xiao Yao has really good taste in choosing people!"
Yao Shi was happy when he heard this: "The main thing is that Xiao Fu is this material. He is very talented in cooking. He can learn everything quickly and his cooking skills are relatively good."
Li Zongming smiled noncommittally and nodded slightly.
He could see that Ren Yuchang deliberately wanted to make friends with Fu Yu, so he simply took advantage of the situation and said with a smile: "I also like Xiao Fu very much. We will communicate more when we have the opportunity in the future. I only have a small amount of research on medicinal diet." , but as for Chinese medicine, if necessary, we can have in-depth communication."
When Fu Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. It was a good thing to be able to learn Chinese medicine!
After all, medicated cooking, in the final analysis, is about the skillful use of medicinal materials to treat illnesses, which is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine.
If he could learn more theories of Chinese medicine and be familiar with various diseases and pharmacology, it would be a great help for his future medicinal cooking!
And if the system can be more powerful, you might be able to directly steal some personal skills in traditional Chinese medicine!
Thinking of this, Fu Yu nodded quickly: "Great, thank you, Teacher Li!"
When Ren Yuchang and Yao Shi heard this, they both looked at each other with happy expressions and smiled.
Li Zongming also smiled. In his opinion, Fu Yu still has an advantage. He is so young, has good cooking skills, and is proficient in medicinal diet. If he studies the theory of traditional Chinese medicine seriously in the future, he may really be able to make some achievements in medicinal diet. Achievements.
At his age, he would somewhat cherish talents, so seeing that Fu Yu was young, talented, and good-looking, he also
There was a hint of support. After all, in his opinion, Fu Yu was just starting out in herbal medicine and lacked the accumulation of knowledge and theory.
At this time, if you can lead him, you can avoid a lot of detours, and if you can really make a difference in the promotion and promotion of medicinal diet, it can be regarded as a merit.
With this thought in his mind, Li Zongming looked at Fu Yu's cooking of medicinal meals with more of a sense of evaluation and correction.
Fu Yu checked the stewed yam and quail in the pot. After simmering over a slow fire, the soup had changed from clear to thick.
Continue to simmer until cooked through.
Taking advantage of this time, Fu Yu started cooking hawthorn wine.
This dish is from a recipe that is favored by anorexic customers. Hawthorn has a miraculous effect on promoting qi and dispersing blood stasis, and can effectively regulate gastrointestinal function.
Because Xia Anni has poor sleep quality, taking a small amount of hawthorn can also dilate the coronary arteries, increase coronary flow, protect myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, and can strengthen the heart, lower blood pressure and anti-arrhythmia.
Fu Yu carefully selected the hawthorns, soaked them in salt water, rubbed them clean, and rinsed them repeatedly.
He usually works in the kitchen, but unexpectedly came to Liu Yiming's house. When Fu Yu customized the purchase order, he only listed the ingredients and medicinal materials that needed to be used. As for the kitchen utensils, he only thought of a few items that were commonly used on weekdays.
When it was time to remove the hawthorn core, I realized that I had forgotten to ask someone to buy the tools to remove the core.
There was really no other way, so Fu Yu could only remove the core manually.
Use a knife to dig out the connective tissue at both ends, cut the hawthorn in half, break it open, and you can easily remove the core.
Every time a hawthorn is processed, it needs to be soaked in salt water immediately to avoid oxidation.
Put the hawthorn in a stainless steel pot, pour in water, add rock sugar and white sugar and cook together.
Because you need to prepare hawthorn cake and hawthorn jam at the same time, you need to prepare a large amount of hawthorn.
Open the pot and wait for the rock sugar and white sugar to melt. After the hawthorn becomes soft, pour out part of the soup.
Place the scooped hawthorn in a new pot and cook over medium heat.
The remaining hawthorns in the pot continue to be cooked over high heat while pressing the hawthorns with the back of a spoon.
In the following time, press the hawthorn repeatedly with the back of the spoon.
In another pot, cook the hawthorn over medium heat until it becomes transparent and sticky.
Then, take a clean spoon to crush the hawthorn and add a spoonful of sugar. Stir constantly with a spoon to prevent sticking to the pan.
This time, Fu Yu started working with his left and right hands at the same time. He held a spoon in his left hand and kept stirring the hawthorn jam, while his right hand counted the time and occasionally crushed the hawthorn puree.
Since the hawthorn jam has been boiled over high heat, it was made first.
Fu Yu didn't rush to put it on the plate, but slid a spoon through the jam to make sure it could be completely opened. Then he turned off the heat, took out all the hawthorn jam, and let it cool.
At the same time, the hawthorn puree in another pot begins to become sticky.
Fu Yu turned the heat to medium-low and continued to press the hawthorn.
In fact, if there weren't a bunch of people watching around, Fu Yu wouldn't have to press the hawthorn so hard.
Because the main purpose of this step is to prevent the pot from sticking.
For Fu Yu, this is actually no burden at all.
However, in order to make his performance a little more normal, Fu Yu still operated step by step and honestly, without exposing his awesome kitchenware performance at all.
When the hawthorn puree is boiled to a state where it can be sticky and formed, it feels a bit difficult to push it with a spoon, and when you lift the spoon, the hawthorn puree attached to the spoon does not fall down.
At this time, you can turn off the heat and proceed to the next cooking operation.
Fu Yu took another shallow basin and brushed a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the basin.
Pour the hawthorn into the basin while it's hot and compact it firmly.
Make the hawthorn cake flat, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator.
This time, even Li Zongming, who had done some research on medicinal foods, was a little confused.
What kind of medicinal diet does Fu Yu make?
Hawthorn cake?
Although hawthorn does have the effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, is it too simple and crude?
Tonight is a custom-made banquet. Is this hawthorn cake an acceptable dish?
Yao Shi raised his eyebrows slightly and watched as Fu Yu quickly took a papaya and began to peel and remove the seeds.
He could tell that Fu Yu made hawthorn cake and hawthorn jam respectively. No matter which one they were, they were not considered a complete dish.
Is it a decoration used to put on the plate?
Or maybe a side dish to go with other dishes?
While everyone was guessing, Fu Yu had already cut the papaya and ginger, put them into a casserole, poured in vinegar and started cooking.
Are you going to make papaya stewed in vinegar?
Xia Anni and her agent looked at each other.
It turns out that papaya is also a Chinese medicinal material?
The two of them subconsciously looked at Ren Yuchang who was standing next to them.
Ren Yuchang met their gazes and couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't understand this either, Lao Li, can you tell what kind of medicinal diet this is?"
Hearing this, Li Zongming subconsciously straightened his chest and explained: "I should be making vinegar, ginger and papaya. This is a relatively famous medicinal diet, and it is effective for acne caused by phlegm in the spleen and stomach. However, because the medicinal properties are warm and tonic, it is generally It should be used for patients with weak spleen and stomach. It can alleviate Miss Xia’s symptoms to a certain extent, and the taste is very unique and can also be an appetizer.”
Xia Anni nodded, feeling very emotional.
It turns out that this medicinal diet is quite famous!
It seems that although Fu Yu is young, he is really good at medicinal food.
While several people were communicating in low voices, Fu Yu took a large bowl and began to wash white lentils, white lotus seeds, white poria, white yam, and white chrysanthemums respectively.
Fu Yu's movements were very fast, and to outsiders, they seemed to be particularly smooth and indescribably beautiful.
When other people watched this scene, they looked at it from a purely appreciative perspective.
Only Yao Shi could not hide his surprised expression.
Because he found that when Fu Yu was serving ingredients such as white lentils and white lotus seeds, he grabbed them with his bare hands and did not weigh them at all.
If it is an ordinary dish, it is reasonable to estimate the weight. After all, practice makes perfect, and the more you cook, the more you gain experience.
But what Fu Yu is making right now is medicinal food. The dosage of ingredients and medicinal materials should be clearly defined, right?
Is it possible that by grabbing it so casually, you can ensure the amount of ingredients?
Yao Shi was thinking and observing Fu Yu's operations.
This look made him realize that he was famous.
Fu Yu moved very quickly, but when picking up the ingredients, he made a very subtle move. When he grabbed two handfuls of white lentils, he obviously put some back in while grabbing the last handful. .
This action seemed very casual, but through careful observation, Yao Shi discovered that Fu Yu had made the same move when grabbing several other ingredients.
When cooking, chefs, because of their many operations and rich experience, will occasionally weigh it by hand. By picking up an ingredient at random and weighing it, they can roughly estimate the specific weight.
But when weighing by hand, there will definitely be a weighing action.
Fu Yu didn't do it when he was operating. He just grabbed it casually, as if he could accurately judge the weight of the food he grabbed based on the feel of his hand.
But how is this possible?
If you want to accurately judge the weight of a certain ingredient based on experience, you have to go through at least thousands of repeated operations and slowly accumulate experience.
However, the few ingredients Fu Yu is using now are rarely used in the kitchen.
Especially Chinese medicinal materials!
How to estimate this?
Just when Yao Shi was puzzled, Fu Yu put several ingredients into the wall-breaking machine and ground them into powder.
He was going to take advantage of the break in cooking other dishes to knead the dough for the Wubai Sweet Cake.
From the wall breaking machine, pour the ground Wubai sweet cake powder into the basin.
When making noodles, there is a certain ratio. For every 200 grams of original flour, add 160 grams of glutinous rice flour.
Fu Yu weighed it directly with a spoon and filled it one spoon after another. He didn't start filling it back bit by bit until the dialog box prompted, until the amount reached the standard.
Yao Shi's attention had been focused on Fu Yu's operations, so he found that Fu Yu seemed to have a unique talent in weighing ingredients.
No, perhaps it should be said that Fu Yu's talent in cooking includes controlling the weight of ingredients.
Otherwise, it is really impossible to explain his current behavior.
Under Yao Shi's unblinking gaze, Fu Yu began to add water to the basin and stir.
Kneading dough is Fu Yu's forte. With his personal skills at hand, the sticky flour is quickly kneaded into dough.
Fu Yu took out the dough, placed it on a chopping board sprinkled with Wubai sweet cake dry powder and started kneading it.
Everyone present was not familiar with the work of making dough, so they could only see that Fu Yu's posture of kneading dough was very skillful, but they did not notice that Fu Yu's movements were as standard as the instructor's demonstration in the teaching video.
Whether it's the firm pressure from your arms to your palms, or the angle when kneading the dough, it's perfect.
Use the least effort to knead the dough to the maximum extent.
If you want to reach this level, you won't be able to reach this level without several years of experience in interview work.
In the eyes of others, Fu Yu kneaded the dough quickly and then rolled the dough into a long strip.
Then cut the long strip into segments, and finally roll each segment into a ball and let it rest for a while.
