Crab Lake is a very famous traditional dish in Chollima.
Because the ingredients are expensive and it is relatively homely, there are not many customers who usually order.
The prepared Crab Lake is yellow in color, rich in fragrance, salty, sour and spicy, and is especially delicious with rice.
For those who love this bite, Crab Lake is the authentic "rice hammer", which can be called a magical tool for eating.
But for people who don’t like to eat, it’s really unbearable and difficult to swallow after just one taste.
Chollima has his own secret recipe for making this dish.
The ingredients are all fresh red crabs, and the cooking methods follow the oldest and most authentic cooking methods.
Although Crab Lake is a relatively common home-cooked dish, Chollima can make it taste unforgettable.
Zhao Meng learned the method of making crab lake step by step from Yao Shi.
In front of the kitchen counter, Zhao Meng ordered the workers to prepare the dishes. He was somewhat looking forward to the next cooking!
Cooking crab lake is considered a dish he is good at. After so many years of cooking, he can be said to be very experienced in understanding the cooking methods and mastering the details of the operation.
Today is just the right time for Fu Yu to have a good look at him and let him know how powerful he is!
In fact, in Zhao Meng's heart, he took Fu Yu as his apprentice.
Although the two of them did not have serious apprenticeships, Zhao Meng treated Fu Yu completely sincerely.
However, Zhao Meng himself came as a disciple. He learned cooking from the master, and he received the traditional teaching that one day is a teacher and life is a father.
Therefore, when Zhao Meng faced Du Yu, he would inevitably have some thoughts of comparison.
After all... I am also the one who introduced Fu Yu, so I can't really be much worse than Fu Yu, right?
Perhaps he has been surpassed by Fu Yu in terms of knife skills and barbecue, but the cooking experience of these traditional dishes is his most valuable skill, and it is what Fu Yu lacks.
Zhao Meng is very willing to teach and correct Fu Yu when it comes to cooking, especially in the areas he is good at. He also looks forward to gaining Fu Yu's admiration and recognition.
Maybe people who are masters have more or less such vanity.
Thinking of this, Zhao Meng specially gave the worker a few words.
The most critical ingredient for making crab lake is crab meat, so choosing crab is very important.
After the crabs were selected, Zhao Meng took a look. After he was satisfied, he called Fu Yu to come over and watch.
Remove the shell, navel, gills and pincers from clean crabs.
Then use scissors to cut the remaining crab into small pieces, add salt and stir evenly.
The operation of cutting the crab into small pieces and then cutting it into a lake is the most critical step in cooking the crab lake.
While Zhao Meng was cooking, Fu Yu stood nearby and watched Zhao Meng's operation carefully, with such a focused expression that Zhao Meng couldn't help but look satisfied.
When every teacher teaches students, he hopes that the other students will listen carefully and study hard. This is also recognition and respect for their hard work.
The angle and movement of Zhao Meng's knife when he was chopping the crab surprised Fu Yu!
Very precise, a very powerful knife technique!
By cutting the knife in this way, it is convenient to lift the wrist, speed up the speed of the knife, and improve the chopping efficiency, which is very good.
Fu Yu couldn't help but praise: "This cutting method is amazing!"
Zhao Meng smiled calmly and unconsciously put on an enigmatic look.
Fu Yu didn't notice it at first, until an electronic beep sounded in his ears, and he couldn't help but look surprised!
【Ding! Obtain the favorability of NPC chef Zhao Meng +1]
Unexpectedly, Zhao Meng, who usually looks serious and serious, actually likes to hear compliments!
Fu Yu felt funny when he saw Zhao Meng pretending to be nonchalant.
Still pretending?
Your heart has betrayed you!
Seeing Zhao Meng obviously very happy, but
Even pretending to be serious, Fu Yu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
However, next, Zhao Meng's cooking operation really surprised Fu Yu.
Today's Zhao Meng has obviously changed a lot compared to usual, especially in terms of knife skills.
Obviously cutting is Zhao Meng's weakness, but he handled it very well today. The most amazing thing is his control of details during the operation, which is very precise.
It seemed that he suddenly got out of the bottleneck area that originally trapped him!
Great progress has been made in knife skills!
Even though he already had advanced knife skills, some of Zhao Meng's cutting operations made him feel very amazing and worth learning from.
It has to be said that everyone will have their own insights into the cooking operation through long-term cooking.
When Zhao Meng was cooking crab lake, he was guiding Fu Yu while operating.
When Fu Yu encounters places of interest, he will also discuss them with Zhao Meng enthusiastically.
The two people discussed the cooking process of a crab lake dish.
Both sides have gained something.
However, in order to please Zhao Meng, Fu Yu deliberately found opportunities to praise him from time to time, and occasionally pretended to be "shocked".
This set is obviously very useful for Zhao Meng!
The favorability score that was already about to reach full marks increased by 3 points in just a short cooking time!
Fu Yu looked at Zhao Meng, who couldn't hide the happy smile between his brows and eyes, and secretly came up with an idea. If he really accidentally filled up Zhao Meng's favorability points, would Zhao Meng completely regard him as a human being? Treat him like his own son?
Thinking of this, Fu Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhao Mengzhan pressed the crabs, mixed the crab paste and crab lake together, added seasonings, mixed well, and put it in the refrigerator to keep fresh.
This crab lake is considered complete.
After it's marinated, and when customers order, they just need to put it on a plate and serve it directly.
Fu Yu had tasted crab lake before. When eating, he took out a small amount and dipped it in with kuaizi. The taste on his tongue seemed to have the smell of sea water. Every time he took a bite, he could taste the richness of crab roe and the taste of crab meat. Sweet, soft and dense, it melts in your mouth and has a long-lasting salty taste.
If the crab lake is dipped in some rice wine or rice vinegar, the deliciousness will be even better.
When you eat it, the first taste is freshness, then the spiciness of pepper, and finally the stimulation of ginger.
It's really delicious when paired with porridge, bibimbap, or wine.
You can't do too much in Crab Lake. After all, the number of customers who order food is limited. The ingredients are expensive and it would be a waste to leave them for too long.
After learning Crab Lake cooking from Zhao Meng, Fu Yu memorized the whole process so that he could try cooking himself when he had another chance in the future.
[In view of the general environment,
After finishing the crab lake, Fu Yu and Zhao Mengyou had a few laughing discussions and prepared to go back and continue taking orders for cooking.
At this time, Gu Yunwu suddenly shouted to Zhao Meng at the top of his lungs: "Old Zhao! Jin Qian has placed the order. It's still the same old rules. You do the stir-frying, and I stay behind to stew and make soup?"
Zhao Meng was about to continue cooking. After hearing the news, he frowned and asked, "Why is he here? Doesn't he usually come after the new year?"
Gu Yunwu said: "Who knows, the person who placed the order will be a large banquet order, or it will be the same old way."
Zhao Meng walked over, took the order, took a look at it, and asked, "Hey, is this a treat?"
Jin Qian is a regular customer of the store. He is a gourmet who knows how to eat.
He has a big family and a big business, so he usually travels around, but whenever he returns to Bei'an, he always goes to Qianlima for dinner.
"Carrot and hairtail fish soup, pickled cabbage and shredded yellow croaker soup..." Zhao Meng flicked through the menu and smiled: "He is really good at eating! Everything he ordered is your specialty."
Gu Yunwu was also happy: "No, okay, just tear up the list."
Zhao Meng picked it up
I tore off five pieces of my specialty dish and stuck it on the kitchen wall.
At this time, we can see the tacit understanding between Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu.
Let’s not talk about how the two usually fight secretly, but they have worked together for many years and have already formed a tacit understanding of each other.
Zhao Meng received the new order, and the workers immediately got the news. Those who had work on hand rushed to deal with it, and waited for orders to come down so that they could prepare the dishes quickly.
Zhao Meng checked the order form on hand, rearranged the cooking order of the dishes, and then turned around and ordered the waiter to prepare the dishes.
This kind of sudden situation where the two parties cooperate in cooking is too common, and it basically happens every now and then.
Likewise, this mutual assistance in separate cooking can exactly reflect the chef's strengths and weaknesses in cooking.
Every chef has his or her own specialties and cooking methods that they are not good at.
When Zhao Meng took the order and ordered the food to be prepared, the workers had been waiting for a long time and quickly took over their tasks!
Fu Yu quickly finished cooking the few dishes he was anxious to serve. Now he slowed down and started to make a leisurely list.
After Zhao Meng finished explaining, Fu Yu hurriedly approached and asked, "Chef Zhao, what's wrong?"
Gu Yunwu Neng called Zhao Meng over, and it was probably nothing good.
Zhao Meng frowned and said, "It's no big deal, it's just that an old customer came here. He is a tricky person. Every time he comes here, Lao Gu and I cook together."
Only then did Fu Yu realize that it was an old customer who had placed the order.
In terms of cooking, Zhao Meng is good at stir-frying, frying, and stewing. Gu Yunwu is more skilled in soups such as stewing.
Fu Yu thought to himself and couldn't help but look at Gu Yunwu.
However, Gu Yunwu obviously didn't notice Fu Yu. After all, he had taken a lot of orders, and now there was Jin Qian, an old gourmet, waiting for him, so he didn't dare to delay at all.
Fu Yu himself was at ease, and he quickly stretched his head to look at the kitchen wall. While looking at the order list posted on it, he proactively asked: "Chef Zhao, what kind of dishes have you prepared? I'll help you take over a few dishes." Bar?"
Zhao Meng said: "The dishes from the previous orders have already been served. I'm going to make two dishes from the new order first. You don't know, Jin Qian is very good at eating, and he is very familiar with the dishes in our store. He is very familiar with it. Every time he comes here, he orders special dishes. But usually he comes with his family and all he orders are small banquet noodles, usually six dishes and one soup."
"I ordered a large banquet menu today. I am probably planning to entertain friends. I looked at the dishes I ordered and two new special dishes were added."
The so-called special dishes are high-priced and beautifully presented. Once placed on the table, they look particularly impressive and high-end.
Fu Yu glanced at the newly posted order form.
Baked lobster with cheese, braised abalone, griddle seafood chowder, squirrel mandarin fish, fried swimming crab with green onions.
The prices of these dishes are not cheap, and they are indeed the more unique dishes in the store.
Based on Zhao Meng’s cooking habits, he would definitely cook braised abalone and stir-fried swimming crab with green onions first. Although these two dishes require relatively high cooking skills from the chef, they are quick to cook and are more suitable as appetizers.
Zhao Meng has rich experience in cooking and arranging dishes. He has a rough idea of what to order after taking a look at the order list.
"Have you almost done everything over there?"
After hearing Zhao Meng's inquiry, Fu Yu quickly told the truth about his situation.
Zhao Meng nodded and ordered: "Okay, you can make fried swimming crab with green onions and squirrel mandarin fish."
One of these two dishes requires high heat control, and the other tests the chef's knife skills and frying skills.
Fu Yu is quite good in these aspects, and Zhao Meng felt very relieved when he handed over the food to him.
However, don’t worry, you still need to warn carefully: "When you cook these two dishes, you must pay attention to the heat and handle the details carefully. Jin Qian loves to eat and will eat it. In this regard Be very picky, don’t let him be dissatisfied again because of trivial matters.”
Zhao Meng's words are very clear. This order
It's not easy for customers to answer correctly. You can't cut corners in cooking and it must be perfect.
Thinking of Jin Qian, Zhao Meng couldn't help but think of the various situations he encountered when taking orders in the past.
Just because Jin Qian is a gourmet, in order to make him eat well and satisfy him, Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu really tried their best and brought out all their special skills.
Thinking of what happened back then, Zhao Meng couldn't help but sigh.
As a chef, you really can't slack off in terms of cooking skills, otherwise you will be really powerless when encountering such a situation.
Zhao Meng looked at Fu Yu. Fortunately, this guy was here and could help him.
Like Gu Yunwu, the most profitable person Yao Yihang is about to leave, and no one else under him can truly take orders independently.
In comparison, I am doing pretty well!
Fu Yu didn't feel nervous or uneasy after listening to Zhao Meng's instructions.
And not only was he not worried at all, but he had a look of surprise on his face.
Because just now, he received a new task:
【Ding! NPC chef Zhao Meng’s mission: to work together to complete a table of difficult dishes and obtain customer satisfaction. Mission completion reward: Lucky Wheel once]
When he first received the task, Fu Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the task this time was to complete the cooking of a table of difficult noodles.
However, now after listening to Zhao Meng's words, he realized that Ganqing's difficult meal meant that this old gourmet customer could eat satisfactorily.
The focus is not on the difficulty of cooking the dish, but on the cooking level of the chef.
Fu Yu agreed to Zhao Meng's request and returned to his kitchen counter, his expression becoming solemn.
Since receiving the task, he began to think about how to make dishes that satisfy customers.
