A really qualified good cook will receive the approximate number of guests needed today, and then proceed with the proportion of ingredients purchased today. In order to ensure that the ingredients are freshly purchased every day, and try not to have too much surplus every day.
Because in accordance with the standards of star-rated restaurants, it is absolutely not allowed to use overnight ingredients for cooking.
Including some high-end hotels in the country, as well as the cooking in state banquets, it is also necessary to ensure the freshness of daily ingredients, and it is absolutely not allowed to use overnight ingredients.
This is a very test of a cook's control of the amount of ingredients. It must be accurate to the point that the ingredients can be used almost every day. In non-emergency situations, too many ingredients should not be left, which leads to waste of ingredients.
Nowadays, the country is also advocating table saving, and requesting CD-ROMs for meals in restaurants.
In fact, top chefs must not waste their daily purchases.
Therefore, Feng Yifan gave Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong the final test, which was to ask them to fry such a fried rice according to the number of diners and the amount of meals of different diners.
It can’t be too much, because there are two servings, which will make everyone unable to finish.
But the same cannot be less, because too little can not let everyone taste the unique taste of their fried rice.
It can be said that this final test has become a problem that both Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong need to rack their brains to consider. In particular, they need to consider whether the greasy taste of their own fried rice and side dishes will make the elderly and children not want to eat a second bite, leaving the fried rice left.
When Feng Yifan spoke about the test, Su Ruoxi and others who did not know how to cook did not understand the intention.
But Su Jinrong, Zhuang Daozhong, Shi Jiahui, and the three foreign chefs, they naturally know the purpose of Feng Yifan's test, and everyone agrees with it.
While Zhuang Daozhong was waiting, he thought of the original Su Quansheng father again.
"Maybe you don't know that Ruoxi's grandfather, in the state banquet team, had a very famous hand, and it was something that almost none of the state banquet masters could do."
That being said, it naturally attracts everyone's attention, and everyone can't wait to know what it is?
Zhuang Daozhong looked at Shi Jiahui and asked, "Jiahui, has your father told you?"
Shi Jiahui shook his head: "My father really didn't say anything about it, but my father really admired Master Master. Anyway, as long as I can remember when I was a child, I heard that my father always talked about Master Master. Back then, I learned to cook. At the time, I always said, "How did your master do?"
Zhuang Daozhong said seriously: "Your master, that is indeed a real master, a top master."
Hearing this, Ning Guang couldn't wait to mutter, "What the **** is it?"
The younger brother whispered over here, and Ning Cheng immediately glared at his younger brother and said in a low voice, "Listen, don't talk."
Zhuang Daozhong glanced at the two brothers, then smiled and said, "Grandpa Ruoxi's ability back then was to accurately grasp the amount of ingredients used in each dish. There was no need to use any weighing at all, but to judge by his own ability. The points are not bad, there will never be a single green onion left in a dish."
Hearing this, Ning Guang and people who don't know how to cook didn't quite understand.
But Feng Yifan and the cooks knew exactly how terrifying it was.
You should know how much you need to put in each main dish, side dish, and condiments during the cooking process of a dish. This is simply an unquantifiable matter.
And the old man Su Quansheng was able to do that kind of quantification, which really made the chefs on the scene have to admire.
Zhuang Daozhong saw that others didn’t quite understand, and immediately gave a serious explanation: “To put it simply, if the kitchen has been cleaned today, but a table of guests needs to add a plate of shredded pork temporarily, under normal circumstances, it’s necessary to prepare the ingredients again, and then Began to prepare to fry this dish of shredded pork.
Then, after the frying is done, there will definitely be some unused ingredients left, right? "
Hearing this question, everyone understands that if you just fry a plate of shredded pork, that’s for sure. It’s impossible to measure the amount on one plate so accurately. Maybe the shredded pork is cut too much, or there are too many other ingredients, and there will definitely be leftovers.
Zhuang Daozhong saw that everyone understood, and Feng Yifan and others explained what he didn't understand, and then continued.
"If Grandpa Ruoxi came to stir fry, the meat will be used up and there will be no scallion and **** left. He will use as much ingredients as he needs, and there is no need to clean up after his plate of shredded pork is fried. ."
What Zhuang Daozhong said, Su Ruoxi and the others still don't understand.
Feng Yifan thought for a while and explained again: "That is, how much meat, how much pepper, and how much scallion and **** should be used for a plate of shredded pork. Grandpa will ensure that it is just used up and will not make enough of such a plate of shredded pork. The amount of meat will not be used to fry a plate of shredded pork, leaving unusable meat in the end."
Give such an explanation, so that everyone present finally fully understood.
Especially if you have cooked food at home, it is natural to understand what a great skill it is.
Su Jinrong also said: "Well, Grandpa Ruoxi did have this kind of ability back then. I have followed it for a long time, but I still haven't fully grasped it and I can't control it so well."
Shi Jiahui couldn't help but exclaimed, "God, Master's hand is too powerful."
As the former sous chef in Shanghai Hotel, Shi Jiahui knows the power of this hand very well. Because she knows very well that if she can't accurately grasp how much ingredients will be wasted in the kitchen every day, many large hotels can only make staff meals at night in order to save.
But in fact it is also a waste, not to say that employees should not be cooked for employees.
It is because, in the case of uncontrollable circumstances, it will virtually increase the cost of restaurants and restaurants.
Especially for the kind of star restaurant, the ingredients must be fresh every day, which is an invisible huge cost.
Zhuang Daozhong looked at Feng Yifan and said, "I know, Yifan seems to have this ability, right? So before Su Ji's purchases were very accurate, there will be no too much surplus every day, especially the meat and fresh food."
Seeing Master Uncle talking about himself, Feng Yifan could only smile and said, "I'm all exploring by myself. I may not reach the level of my grandfather before, and there is still a lot of room for growth."
Zhuang Daozhong immediately laughed: "Hahaha, you kid, you are really slippery."
Immediately afterwards, the other adults also laughed.
And maybe only Catherine, Hans and Tom know Feng Yifan's true strength in this area, which is really terrifying.
The three-star restaurant has the same requirements, so if Feng Yifan can't be so precise and estimate the number of customers to purchase each day, how can he become the chef of the three-star restaurant?
Even now in the hearts of the three foreigners, Feng Yifan should have received the true biography of his wife and grandfather.
A group of people here are talking, listening to Zhuang Daozhong talking about the old man Su Quansheng.
Even the children, including Feng Ruoruo, listened to the stories of an old grandfather like Zhuang Daozhong, and the few children were all listening with gusto.
A small chatterbox who usually talks a lot, even sitting in his father's arms obediently listening.
I have to say that Zhuang Daozhong talked about the funny things after the state banquet, but it was really very interesting.
For example, sometimes, a young chef made a mistake, but when it was time to serve food again, such a powerful state banquet master like Su Quansheng would personally make changes.
"Once, it was a foreign affairs event. Our state banquet was responsible for the banquet. Then, in each round of dishes, we needed to intersperse some small snacks, as a relief to foreign guests, or to change the taste.
As a result, a young guy at that time made an interspersed side dish, using vinegar. He didn’t hold his hand, and suddenly violent. At that time, the face was pale with fright, but the pot of dishes couldn’t be dumped because it was poured. It's not enough, the state banquet purchases are all quantitative, not much more. "
Having said that, Zhuang Daozhong still intends to pause to attract everyone's attention.
"Then Grandpa Ruoxi took it, took it over and tasted it, and then began to modify and adjust the taste, and soon adjusted a very fresh, sour cold dish."
Hearing this, everyone thought it was amazing, the temporary seasoning can actually change the taste.
But the matter is not over here, Zhuang Daozhong continued: "But that pot is okay, but the other tastes are different. When it can't be served, the dishes offered at each table are different? Grandpa Ruoxi said. The taste he tastes, seasons the others."
It paused again, watching everyone wide-eyed and waiting for the result, to seduce everyone's curiosity.
In the end, Zhuang Daozhong said: "The result is exactly the same. I didn't weigh and add the ingredients. I added them based on my own hand feeling, and the taste was not bad."
Everyone was really amazed, and felt that the old man Su Quansheng was too good.
Su Jinrong also admired his father more in his heart, and at the same time felt guilty for not being able to promote Su Ji.
Feng Yifan noticed his father-in-law’s expression, and approached him and said softly, “Dad, you don’t have to blame yourself. You have worked very hard. I believe that grandpa will also be very satisfied.”
When Su Jinrong heard this, he turned to look at his son-in-law, nodded and said softly, "Uh, okay."
Here Zhuang Daozhong is telling the story, and there Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong are also working hard.
Finally, Ma Xiaolong’s plate of fried rice was ready, and he actually used a mold to shape it. Without putting it in a kraft carton, he also molded the fried rice into small rice balls.
And he guaranteed that each rice ball is the size of one bite for an adult and two to three bites for a child.
After doing this, I made a big plate and brought them to Feng Yifan in person.
Seeing the small rice **** on the plate, Feng Ruoruo and the children naturally liked them the most. They didn't think that there was fried rice on the plate at all, but felt that there were rice **** on the plate and couldn't wait to eat them.
Ma Xiaolong was also standing by, and respectfully introduced to Feng Yifan, Zhuang Daozhong, Su Jinrong, and Shi Jiahui.
"This is my barbecue fried rice, I shape them into rice balls, so that it will be more convenient for everyone to eat, please take your time to taste."
After the brief introduction, Ma Xiaolong also ran back to the stall quickly and continued to cook fried rice for the people in line.
Such a scene made some girls in the line feel very strange.
The first girl asked directly: "Brother handsome chef, why do you go there to deliver it? You don't usually come out, and people really want you to give it away."
Ma Xiaolong replied indifferently: "Sorry, I can't deliver food to my small business. The reason why I gave it to the people at that table is because there is my master there and some of my elders, so as a junior, I must Go and give it to them."
If you are not welcome at all, the attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away instantly cools down the expectant girl.
Lin Ruifeng saw that Ma Xiaolong had been sent there, and he was a little bit anxious.
Fortunately, Shen Qingluo was by the side and saw Ma Xiaolong had finished. Knowing that her boyfriend might be anxious, she hurriedly said in a low voice next to him: "Don't worry, don't you understand the principle that you must lose first?"
Lin Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at Shen Qingluo.
The latter continued: "Oh, even in some games, the one who goes up first will lose, so you are behind, which means you have to win."
Hearing the encouragement and support from his girlfriend, Lin Ruifeng rekindled his fighting spirit and continued to cook seriously.
Fortunately, the time Feng Yifan and the others came was not considered the dinner time at the highest peak of the night market.
Therefore, both Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong had enough time to complete the question that Feng Yifan finally gave to the two of them.
Ma Xiaolong’s fried rice is already on the table, and the children can’t wait. Feng Yifan smiled and said, “Okay, okay, don’t just look at it. Hurry up and try it. Our children are all coveted. It's going to flow down."
Everyone smiled and said, "Well, eat, eat."
Naturally, first of all, let Zhuang Daozhong, Su Jinrong and Lin Ruifeng's parents taste it.
After the old people had eaten it, Feng Yifan began to give the children a portion, so that the children could eat it at the first time.
Everyone arrived, and finally Feng Yifan took the last rice ball with a spoon to taste.
Ma Xiaolong continued to do business there, but in fact he always paid attention to Feng Yifan's side. Especially when he saw Feng Yifan open his mouth to eat, he was really very nervous, almost hurting his hands when the rice was fried.
The finger scalding on the iron plate also made Ma Xiaolong wake up immediately and understand that he still needs to concentrate.
Ma Xiaolong took a deep breath and continued to concentrate on making fried rice.
On the other side, Lin Ruifeng finally finished the final fried rice. Everything looks perfect, every combination is considered the best he can do, and it is also specially paired with barbecued pork, roast duck and roast goose.
Shen Qingluo next to him helped and prepared everyone's dipping sauce.
Then, Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo brought such a large plate of fried rice and dipping sauce to Feng Yifan and the others.
At this time, Ma Xiaolong's portion was basically eaten, just because Feng Yifan prescribed the amount when ordering, naturally everyone was not completely full, especially the children were still very greedy.
Just then Lin Ruifeng's fried rice was on the table, and Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It was just right. Let's continue to taste Uncle Xiaolin's fried rice."
Feng Ruoruo took the lead, and several children raised their hands in response: "Okay."
