Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 121 Good Taste

What is a good meal?

The levels are different, and the standards are also different.

For example, there is only one standard or requirement for a five-yuan lunch on the street, which is heavy oil, heavy salt and heavy monosodium glutamate.

The heavy oil makes you subconsciously feel that this dish is "affordable", and the store is willing to pay for it.In fact, this is of course an illusion, and it is a big illusion, because low-quality oil is worthless at all, and most people can't tell the difference at all. Oil that costs 50 yuan a catty and oil that costs [-] yuan a catty are harmful to the body. difference, but no difference to the tongue when eating.

Heavy salt, no matter how stale the ingredients are, the salty taste is too heavy, you can’t eat anything, and there are even more ruthless stores, not only heavy salt but also heavy color, such as adding some soy sauce, yes, even if the ingredients are expired to the color It's changed, and you can't see it.

Heavy monosodium glutamate and heavy salt complement each other. When the two work together, people will feel "this dish is delicious!"

So the three came together to help each other, and each other's shortcomings were covered up by the other side, so that this meal can be widely praised, "good!" "delicious!" "very affordable!" "I have been eating here!"

Carry out this purpose, and then try to reduce and control the cost of ingredients, such a fast food restaurant, as long as the location is suitable, even if it does not make a lot of money, it can still make a lot of money. On the contrary, if you do not follow this purpose, In most cases, you will lose a lot, and the more conscientious the ingredients you use, the faster you will close down.

So, if a skilled chef is allowed to open a fast food restaurant and it closes down in three days, that's fine.Because you don’t need to cook at all to make this!On the contrary, being able to cook is the biggest obstacle.There is a kind of food called anti-cooking.

People who are used to home-cooked meals cannot eat this kind of meal.

What are home-cooked meals?

Home-cooked meals are palatable and nourishing.

If you eat at home, you will definitely not buy low-quality ingredients. Of course, there are exceptions for a few people who are greedy for small things, or because they don’t know how to buy something that seems good but actually bad.Generally speaking, home-cooked meals, at least in terms of ingredients, are guaranteed to a certain extent.

Then, not so much oil, not so much salt, and not so much flavor.

Most families know that eating too much of these things is not good for your health. Occasionally, even if the taste of one dish is heavy, other dishes or the next meal will be lighter intentionally or unintentionally. Adjust it, such as eating fried chicken legs at noon, It is very likely to have millet porridge in the evening.

Every family chef, as long as he is not too stupid, will slowly learn the way of "neutralization" over the years, although he may not know it himself.

If it can still have a better taste under the premise of neutralization, it is a good home-cooked meal.

Cooking, in fact, is at this level, with more emphasis on ingredients, heat and taste.

As far as the taste is concerned, most families know to use some MSG, chicken essence or soy sauce as a seasoning. If you don’t add these things, it will look bland, but if you are a chef, you know a lot and it is convenient at hand, so you can have broth, you can There is mushroom powder, you can have sea intestine powder, or even kelp soup, and in some cases it can also replace MSG. ——Although monosodium glutamate was originally extracted from kelp, and it is "green out of blue".

Not to mention the common special seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, aniseed cumin, etc.

These various means of seasoning and flavor enhancement are naturally not comparable to ordinary families, and if there are many means and appropriate collocations, different dishes use different means of flavor enhancement, so a "good taste" cannot be escaped , and if the ingredients are qualified, the cooking temperature is appropriate, and it is accompanied by a good taste, then it is the overall "good taste".

Good taste, these three words are also the highest evaluation of a meal. It seems ordinary, but it is actually very demanding.

Nourishing is the "longness" of ingredients, collocation, and heat. Taste is the icing on the cake and the finishing touch.Good taste means that when you eat it, it tastes good and has a good texture. After eating it, your stomach feels comfortable and your body responds well.

From good taste, to neutralization, to good taste, this is also a process from the outside to the inside, and then taking both the inside and the outside into account.

The combination of the knowledge from the past few years, the sporadic popularity of Mr. Jia, and the most important experience in the dream, these three things together, led to the fact that although Xu Guangling is not yet a chef, he has actually comprehended the purpose of cooking. .

However, there is still a long way to go between understanding the purpose and becoming a culinary master.

This distance, walking, is actually easy to walk, there are not too many potholes in the middle, it is not difficult in terms of difficulty, but it takes time.And the experience in the dream made up for everything, well, I can’t say everything, it made up for a lot.

Now let Xu Guangling create a dish by himself, it is probably impossible, let him make a dish that he has never seen in his dreams, he will basically be caught blind, and his nature of parallel imports will undoubtedly be exposed, but let him "take pictures of tigers" "Cat", if you draw seven or eight images, the problem is not too big.

Zhang Lao first looked at the soup in the bowl, then picked it up, and took a sip of the clear soup, or it would be more appropriate to say a sip.

For this action, Xu Guangling gave him a thumbs up. ——This is an expert.

No matter what kind of soup, if the cooking and heat are in place, the "nourishing" and "taste" will always melt into the soup. It can also be said that the clear soup is the barometer of the soup.If the clear soup is not so tasty, don't expect the whole soup to be delicious, that is impossible.

So if you are a gourmet, you don’t need to move your chopsticks or spoons to taste a soup. Like Zhang Lao is now, a small mouthful of clear soup is enough.

And after taking a sip of soup, Mr. Zhang gave Xu Guangling a thumbs-up as expected: "Not bad, humble words, a bit of a level."

This is actually quite a compliment.

It is really impossible to expect a person who has dealt with many imperial chefs and must have tasted countless imperial cuisines to be astonished immediately after taking a sip of the soup. ——At least this soup from Xu Guangling, no.

It's just about the material, it's not enough.

The four ingredients used in this soup, except vermicelli, the other three can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and they can be used to make up the number, but it is impossible to get a high score based on them.

However, after this compliment, Zhang Lao's second sentence was: "Zhuoyan, you are hurting my old man, your soup is like the old days, what can I do in the future? "

"If the teacher likes it, it's okay for the disciple to come over and make it for you every day." Xu Guangling said, sincerely and without half-frills.

But at this time he forgot that he didn't know much, to be precise, just two or three things.Others, that is completely out of hand!

However, Mr. Zhang laughed when he heard this, and then shook his head, "If God really knows, if I know that this old man is wasting a genius time like this, it will probably be struck by a nine-day lightning and take the old man away. Zhuoyan, yours Time isn't used that way, and it shouldn't be wasted here."

Mr. Chen is not as particular as Mr. Zhang. He starts the car directly, even eating and drinking.

And just after taking a sip, he immediately put down the bowl, his face turned serious and said: "No!"
