Chapter Eleven Ms. Vicky's Main Course
When mentioning Ms. Weiqi's name, "Egret Women's College" will show all the love expressions in "Egret Women's College".
As the head chef of the academy and the owner of the entire kitchen, Wei Qi's cooking skills can be said to be truly world-class.
If you search for "Weiqi Lefible" online, you can see a long list of resumes behind his name, such as "the first Michelin three-star female chef ever", "the owner of the Blue Belt Medal", "Luolai Chado Star Chef Title", etc.
However, when Jiang Yun saw the old man in the kitchen of the college restaurant, the one who appeared in front of him was an old lady with a soft face, not like a world-renowned chef with such amazing experience.
"Ms. Weiqi, I have brought Mr. Jiang Yun."
When he saw Wei Qi, Bai Tan twisted the corner of his skirt and bowed to the elderly chef, then stepped aside and handed the venue to Jiang Yun.
"Oh, hey, what a young and energetic junior."
Wei Qi looked up and down with admiring eyes, and then smiled and said, "Chef Jiang, starting from tomorrow, this kitchen will be handed over to you, but before that, I have another request."
"Senior, please speak." Jiang Yun also replied in a serious tone in a face of the old chef.
"I hope you can stay here and watch me finish my last meal tonight, okay?"
Huh, after hearing Wei Qi's words, Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded without hesitation.
At first he thought that the outgoing chef would talk about him a long story, but he just saw someone cook a meal here? What's the matter?
Jiang Yun will naturally not miss it if he can enter the kitchen of a top chef and watch other people's cooking process. Even if Wei Qi doesn't say it, he will probably rely on here to learn secretly.
Although Jiang Yun is already a chef of Long Guocai, the way of cooking is endless.
Inserting cooking skills from some other cuisines is also a very good strengthening and improvement of the domestic cuisine. The cooking skills are so advanced.
After receiving the agreed answer, Wei Qi nodded and slowly walked to the refrigerator beside her, signaling the two chefs in maid outfits to take out the main courses for tonight.
According to Bai Tan’s introduction just now, the kitchen of this college is usually composed of a chef and ten chefs.
The chef is the head chef, namely Wei Qi, who was the previous one and Jiang Yun, and the chef is a group of people who are skilled in cooking from the maid team.
These maids are quick to help the chefs, diligent in their hands and feet, and their work efficiency is much better than that of the chefs in most restaurants outside.
In other words, when Jiang Yun works here in the future, he can also assign these ten maids to help him cut vegetables and wash dishes and cook side dishes. Most of the cumbersome and repetitive tasks will be completed by them.
However, when the two maids took out the large piece of material in the refrigerator and placed it on a huge chopping board not far away, Jiang Yun's eyes blinked slightly.
Generally speaking, there is an absolute protagonist in each meal, that is, the "main dish".
Today, when this chef Weiqi was cooking his last academy meal, the main dish he chose was... "beef".
Yes, beef.
Fundamentally, beef is a very heroic ingredient, with a very rich taste and extremely high requirements for the ingredients themselves.
The best snowflake beef only needs to be roasted with salt and pepper on a straight fire, which can give you a very good taste and taste, enough to immerse most people in the satisfaction of meat.
However, the piece of meat brought out by the maids at this time... looked a bit strange.
The fresh beef is warm and shiny, filled with beautiful red garnet-like colors.
However, the beef prepared by Wei Qi looked dull on the surface, and it was even like it was dry and rotten. The surface was black and hard, and it even represented rotten small fluff.
Such a piece of meat doesn’t look like serious beef, but it looks like broken garbage.
After seeing Jiang Yun's surprised expression, Wei Qi asked with a smile: "What? Are you surprised?"
"I was really surprised." Jiang Yun nodded and shook his head, "I never thought you would use such ingredients to cook. It's so... so luxurious."
When Jiang Yun said this, Wei Qi knew that this was a person who knew the goods. After all, not every chef knew this kind of meat.
The general perception is that the fresher the meat, the better, but sometimes it is not all.
For example, "bacon", "cured meat", etc., through the catalysis of time, meat can produce a different flavor.
Among these meats that have been processed through certain means, "ripe meat" is a very high-priced one.
"Cooked" means fermenting fresh meat at a specified temperature and naturally fermenting under humidity to make it more flavorful and softer and easier to chew.
After ripening, the water in the meat will be lost in large quantities, causing the meat itself to have a large concentration of umami flavor.
Moreover, glutamate can also be produced through the action of enzymes and bacteria, as well as the oxidation of fat.
This leads to a ripe beef that can obviously feel a stronger beef flavor, with a little nutty or cheese milky aroma, but not very hard.
In short, this is a high-end ingredient that combines the tender taste of "fresh meat" and the rich aroma of "dry meat". It is time-consuming and laborious to make, so the price is also very high, and it can't be seen in ordinary restaurants.
At this time, what Wei Qi was going to use for dinner was a piece of mature beef, and it was the best mature meat.
The elderly chef took a light knife and the air-dried and rotten outer layer of the beef was directly uncovered.
What is exposed from it is a fleshy texture that is as bright as rubies, with oil flowers everywhere and full of fragrance.
Eighty days... no, is it a one hundred and twenty days of dry-style mature meat?
According to Jiang Yun's experience, the cost of this large piece of meat that is less than ten kilograms alone will be at least several thousand yuan.
The most terrifying thing is that the ingredients for this meal are not just this piece of meat, but several pieces of the same 120-day-dried mature meat were prepared.
The cost of a main course is as high as tens of thousands of yuan. The high cost of cooking here is simply jaw-dropping. It is completely a treating the student cafeteria as a high-end restaurant.
When Ms. Weiqi cooks this beef, she uses the original "charcoal barbecue".
"Charcoal barbecue" is the most rural barbecue method.
In the stone stove with a diameter of more than two meters, oak firewood crackled.
The lit fruit tree charcoal has been tested by the fire and emits a lingering flame.
Put large pieces of meat on the grilled net and let the meat dance on the red flames.
When the grease of the barbecue drips into the charcoal fire, then turn it over repeatedly, a mellow barbecue aroma will quickly dissipate with the faint smoke in the air.
But this is not over yet. After the meat on the roasted net is roasted to a slightly burnt and the smokey smell is penetrated,
Wei Qi directly picked up the meat and put it into a large frying pan full of butter.
The butter in the frying pan exuded an attractive milky aroma, and as large pieces of beef were put into the pot, it immediately burst into sounds.
Take out a can of secret barbecue sauce, spread it on the meat and fry it, so that the sauce can be mixed into the meat, and the flavor can be maximized.
After doing all this, Wei Qi's work was almost over.
