NOVEL WEB Chapter 41
Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing!
After He Daqing returned to his own shop, he walked around the back kitchen, which was originally back upstairs, twice, touching this and that, playing with the bone-cutting knife and shaking the big spoon, but he was familiarizing himself with the various tools in the back kitchen and stimulating the cooking memories of his previous life in his mind.
When he was almost familiar with them, he started to make lunch.
I forgot to say.
During the two days of traveling through time, except for the meal he entertained Qin Shouyi, he cooked the rest of the time.
It's not that he is diligent, but that he needs to find the cooking skills of his previous life through continuous practice and improve his cooking skills.
The results are also gratifying.
After two days of familiarity, his cooking skills have finally improved a lot and returned to the level of cooking rating level four.
Opening the system panel, it shows:
————————
【Kitchen God Store System】
【Host: He Daqing】
【Age: 34】
【Four attributes: Constitution 10; Strength 10; Agility 10; Spirit 13】
【Cooking skill rating: Lv4 (Experience value: 37/1600)】
【Enterprise level: Level 0】
【Business turnover: 0】
【System Mall: Not open (Opening condition: store turnover reaches 100 gold coins)】
————————
A dose of strengthening liquid not only maxed out his physique, strength, and agility attributes, all reaching ten points, but also made his spirit value attribute break through the upper limit of ordinary people and reach thirteen points.
He Daqing felt that the reason for this, in addition to the strengthening liquid, might also be related to the fusion of the two souls after crossing.
Then there was the matter of cooking rating Lv4.
Combining the memories of his previous life, he felt that the system's cooking rating level 4 was roughly equivalent to the cooking rating level 7 of this era, that is, the level of a level 7 cook. In an ordinary state-owned factory, he would definitely be called a master chef.
Of course, if this level was placed in a time-honored top-level restaurant like Fengzeyuan, he would just be a handyman, not even at the stove.
So the cooking rating level 4 is just He Daqing's current level, not the real cooking level of his previous life.
He Daqing felt that the real cooking level of his previous life should be around cooking rating level 5 or cooking rating level 6, that is, a level 6 cook, or a level 5 cook.
This is the kind of person who can work as a chef in the kitchen of a top-notch restaurant, but is not outstanding and can only cook two specialties at most.
In fact, for a real chef, in addition to basic skills, the rest depends on how many recipes you have mastered and how much experience you have in cooking this dish.
This is also the case for state banquet chefs. Why are some people proficient in Shandong cuisine, some proficient in Cantonese cuisine, and some proficient in Jiangsu cuisine?
It's not that they are really only proficient in these, but the famous dishes of each cuisine have their own inherent mysteries, which require special ingredients and methods to cook. If you don't understand these, you will naturally not be able to compare with others after making them.
Just like the famous state banquet dish boiled cabbage, many local restaurants can make it for you, but can the boiled cabbage they make be the same as the boiled cabbage at the state banquet? If you don't even know the ingredients for the broth needed to make boiled cabbage, can you make authentic boiled cabbage?
But if you can get the corresponding recipes, know all the secrets of cooking these dishes, and practice a few more times, let alone chefs, I'm afraid even ordinary people can do it well.
Knowing the broth and ingredients for making boiled cabbage, and then someone instructs you on the heat and how to cook the cabbage, even if the boiled cabbage you make is not as good as the chef of the state banquet, it can still be 70% or 80%.
This is definitely enough for ordinary people.
Except for those real gourmets, ordinary people can't taste the difference at all, and think it tastes the same.
So in addition to the basic skills, the rest of the chef's profession is the recipe.
It doesn't exist that if you improve your cooking level, you can master the eight major cuisines and make a full banquet.
The so-called cooking level evaluation is more of an evaluation of the basic cooking skills, such as: knife skills, spoon skills, fire skills, adding materials, starching, thickening and pouring sauce, ingredients, plating, fresh raw material processing, etc.
If you do these well, your cooking level will naturally go up.
As for how the dishes taste, can they be recognized by others?
This depends on everyone's preferences.
It is impossible for your food to conquer everyone's taste buds as soon as it is cooked.
Everyone has different eating habits and preferences. Some people like spicy food, some people like it not spicy, some people like it light, and some people have a heavy taste... The food you cook is not RMB, how can you make everyone like it? If you can really do this.
Then, you are not a human, but a real cooking god.
Finally, the Tan family cuisine mastered by He Daqing was not really created by an official with the surname Tan, but a family tradition of the Tan family. Although Tan family cuisine was created by the family of Tan Zongjun, a bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty, can an official cook?
The so-called creation is nothing more than Tan Zongjun and his son deliberately eating and hiring famous chefs in the capital with a large sum of money, and learning their cooking skills, combining Cantonese cuisine with Beijing cuisine to form their own school.
To put it bluntly, the real work and creation of Tan family cuisine are still those famous chefs of Cantonese cuisine and Beijing cuisine. The father and son of the Tan family are just a supervisor and initiator, and they are named on Tan family cuisine.
Even when Tan family cuisine really became famous, it was during the Republic of China.
He Daqing's father was also a master of cooking. After eating Tan's dishes once, he found that he could also make many Tan's dishes, so he sorted out the Tan's dishes he knew and announced to the outside world that their He family also had the inheritance of Tan's dishes.
And what about the authentic Tan's dishes?
Now it's in Guozi Lane not far from Daqianmen.
Several chefs from the original Tan Mansion jointly operated a"Tan's dishes" restaurant.
This is also the reason why the He family father and son secretly advertised that they were proficient in Tan's dishes, but never put it in the open, because they were afraid that the real owner would come to find them.
What will be the future of Tan's dishes?
Don't tell me, He Daqing did check it out in his previous life after watching the TV series"Love in the Courtyard".
The information finally found was that in 1955, Tan's dishes were jointly operated by the public and private sectors and moved to Enchengju in Xidan, Sijiucheng. Three years later, a certain leader who could not be mentioned personally arranged to move into the west seventh floor of Yanjing Hotel.
So, if the He family father and son really mastered Tan family cuisine and were the descendants of Tan family cuisine, why would they fall to cooking big pots in the factory as shown in the TV series?
Don't talk about the safety of factories in special times.
Can it be safer than the Yanjing Hotel that specializes in entertaining foreign guests?
To put it bluntly, the Tan family cuisine made by the He family father and son cannot stand up to scrutiny, and the authentic descendants of Tan family cuisine do not recognize it at all. It's like after the Shaolin Temple movie became a hit in later generations, thousands of Shaolin martial arts schools and Shaolin martial arts gyms soon emerged in the country, opening all over the country. Do you think these martial arts schools and martial arts gyms have been approved by the Shaolin Temple?
Is it serious?...............................
