Chapter 467 Learning
The cooking process of Half Moon Sinking into the River is slightly more complicated than other dishes, but it is precisely because of the exquisite craftsmanship that it has its unique and beautiful appearance and unique flavor!
Aunt Gu walked to the stove and started to prepare. She skillfully placed the ingredients on the stove one by one, and then washed her hands carefully.
And Ang took out a notebook from somewhere, ready to record something at any time.
His eyes were focused and serious, as if he wanted to imprint every detail deeply in his mind.
Gu Chang looked at Ange's actions and couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in his heart.
He originally thought that Ang was just here to see the fun, but he didn't expect that he would take this learning opportunity so seriously.
"This dish mainly uses water gluten as the main ingredient. The cooking process focuses on cooking over high heat." Second Aunt explained to Ang while she was busy.
Second Aunt's voice was low and gentle, full of patience. She seemed to know that Ange had a strong interest in cooking, so she deliberately slowed down her speech so that Ange could understand better.
As Second Aunt explained, the pen in Ange's hand kept dancing on the notebook.
He recorded every word his second aunt said in detail, even the smallest details.
Gu Chang looked at Ang's serious study and sighed inwardly.
No wonder he is already a world-class chef at such a young age!
With this attitude of not being ashamed to ask questions and being diligent in learning, if he doesn’t succeed, who will?
Second Aunt walked to the stove and started cooking. Her expression instantly became focused and serious, as if the whole world was just her and the ingredients in front of her.
Her movements are skillful and graceful, and every step is as natural and smooth as flowing water.
“The base soup is the key to the taste of this dish! So you must make it carefully.”
"First, you need to prepare various ingredients, such as angelica, winter bamboo shoots, tomatoes, etc., put them into the pot and slowly stew them until the aroma is overflowing, and then filter out the impurities, so that you can get a pot of rich and fragrant gluten soup."
Next, she spread the mushroom slices on the bottom of the bowl, added the chopped winter bamboo shoots, and finally slowly poured in the freshly cooked gluten soup.
Every step seems so meticulous, as if carving a fine work of art.
"The most important thing here is angelica!" Second Aunt reminded as she operated.
Hearing this, Ange couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Danggui? What is the use of this thing?"
He looked at the small piece of angelica in Second Aunt's hand, his mind full of questions.
Second Aunt smiled and explained, "On the one hand, angelica can add a unique flavor and taste to this dish; on the other hand, as a traditional Chinese medicine, it has high medicinal value."
"Danggui has the effect of promoting blood circulation and replenishing deficiency, which is very beneficial to the body. Therefore, this dish not only allows people to enjoy delicious food, but also has certain health functions!"
After hearing this, Ange nodded in sudden enlightenment. It turned out that behind a seemingly simple dish, there was such a profound connotation.
Soon, the Half Moon Shenjiang dish that Second Aunt had carefully prepared was finally out of the pot!
At this time, Gu Chang just happened to have not eaten yet. So, this steaming hot delicacy naturally fell into Gu Chang's mouth.
Seeing Gu Chang eating heartily, Ange also took a bite and couldn't help but sigh: "You really have mastered the true tradition of Fujian cuisine. The soup is so delicious!"
He knew that this was not just an ordinary dish, but also a continuation of heritage and culture.
To be honest, Ang has always believed that Western food has absolute advantages over Chinese food!
Whether it is the cooking style, method or cooking environment, Western food has absolute advantages!
Chinese cuisine, on the other hand, focuses more on seasoning and taste, and often uses a lot of seasonings to cover up the taste of the ingredients themselves.
But today, after seeing Aunt Gu's presentation, Ange realized that his previous thoughts were a bit one-sided. It turns out that Chinese cooking methods also have such profound connotations!
Suddenly, Ange became very interested in Chinese food. He began to ask Aunt Gu for various cooking techniques and carefully observed every detail of her movements.
Seeing that An Ge was so eager to learn, Aunt Gu was happy to pass on her experience to him. In this way, An Ge continued to stay in the kitchen and learn from Aunt Gu.
At this time, Gu Chang had already run away without a trace, and no one knew where he went to rest.
Before, Gu Chang was very interested in cooking, and his cooking skills were quite good!
However, ever since he followed his second aunt to learn cooking from Old Li, he was completely devastated and lost all interest in cooking!
There is really no way. Compared with Second Aunt, Gu Chang is simply a rookie!
It’s the same dish. After Old Li finished teaching, Second Aunt only needed to cook it a few times to master the techniques. The dishes she made again tasted very good!
But what about the dishes that Gu Chang cooked? It was simply a disaster! Compared with Second Aunt, it was a world of difference! This made Gu Chang deeply realize for the first time the shock brought by the huge gap in talent!
In the words of Old Li, Second Aunt is definitely of the highest caliber, while Gu Chang can only be considered upper-middle class in comparison. He may be able to cook a few home-cooked dishes normally, but when it comes to cooking hard dishes or big meals, the gap is immediately apparent!
This made Gu Chang very unhappy, and he was so angry that he threw the pot and said, "I won't learn it anymore!"
Gu Chang thought to himself that he used to have some interest in cooking, but now he has lost interest due to the blow.
On second thought, wouldn't it be okay to just eat with Second Aunt from now on?
I can eat whatever Second Aunt cooks. Isn't this much better than cooking for myself?
Thinking of this, Gu Chang felt relieved and cheerful.
Although it’s not as delicious as Second Aunt’s, but I can wait and eat it ready, isn’t that great?
