It took five minutes for SAIC to arrive. Lin Ruifeng kept watching it and took it out immediately when the time was right.
After taking it out, Feng Yifan peeled off the plastic wrap and finally adjusted the whole dish on the plate.
Then Su Jinrong personally took charge of the cooking, using Su Zaotang's broth to season and thicken it, then poured it over the steamed dishes little by little.
Pour a thin layer of glass starch on the dish, which instantly makes the whole dish more delicious.
Everything was ready. Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, this Suzhou-style peony is ready."
"Suzhou-style Peony" is a dish that Su Quansheng personally cooked at a state banquet.
This dish is made of various meats marinated in Suzhou soup, which are then cut and served on a plate to look like a blooming peony flower.
This dish looks unique first of all because of its appearance.
The shape of the peony flower, just displayed on the plate, is already extremely shocking.
What’s even more amazing is that this dish is a combination of meat from different parts of a pig.
It really is a perfect presentation of a whole pig in one dish.
The key is that the time required for braising with Su Zao soup will vary depending on the part of the meat.
In this way, when the whole dish is presented, the texture of each part of the meat will be different when eaten, and the taste will be slightly different, which really makes the whole dish have extremely clear layers.
When this dish was first prepared, it really became a delicacy at state banquets and won praise from many foreign guests.
Now, Su Jinrong also spent several days braising different parts to different degrees, and finally completed the dish with his son-in-law.
Although Su Jinrong’s knife skills are not as good as before, his control over fire and the final thickening are still very good.
So with the cooperation of my son-in-law, this dish was presented perfectly.
Feng Yifan smiled and said to his father-in-law, "Dad, is it our turn to serve the food now?"
Su Jinrong nodded and said, "Okay, serve the food."
Feng Yifan carried the dishes and followed his father-in-law to the second floor.
After the father-in-law and son-in-law left, everyone in the kitchen was a little excited.
Especially Ning Cheng couldn't help but approach Shi Jiahui and asked, "Master, what exactly is that dish? It smells really good, a pure meaty aroma. I almost drooled."
Ning Cheng's question was also a point of curiosity for other people in the kitchen.
Shi Jiahui couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and then said seriously: "If I'm not mistaken, that dish should be a state banquet dish. It is the essence of my master's stewing skills."
After hearing this, everyone became even more curious and couldn't help but want Shi Jiahui to say more.
However, Shi Jiahui stopped talking here, and then said to everyone with a stern face: "Okay, stop asking questions and go do your work. Don't forget, we are still open for business. If there is any problem with the business, you will all be scolded by the chef."
Shi Jiahui brought out the chef Feng Yifan, which naturally had a very good effect on everyone.
Everyone could only suppress their curiosity temporarily and return to their respective seats to get busy.
Feng Yifan followed behind his father-in-law, holding the first dish that his father-in-law had started to prepare after receiving the news. He was very cautious and even a little bit nervous.
If Feng Yifan cooked by himself, he might not be as nervous as he is now.
After all, Feng Yifan was cooking by himself, so even if he made a mistake, he felt he could bear the consequences.
But now this dish is made by my father-in-law. He spent several days of hard work on it. It can be said that he painstakingly and carefully restored one of my grandfather's great dishes.
If something goes wrong, would Feng Yifan really worry about whether his father-in-law's body can withstand the blow
Su Jinrong walked up to the second floor, suddenly stopped, and tidied his clothes very carefully.
Arrange the chef's uniform very carefully, make sure the sleeves of the apron are straightened out, put the chef's hat on properly, and finally touch every button on the clothes carefully.
Seeing his father-in-law being so serious, Feng Yifan knew very well that this was the quality of his father-in-law as a chef.
If a good chef cannot even ensure that his clothes are clean and tidy, how can he present his dishes perfectly to the guests
Therefore, a real chef will pay great attention to his image and will never dress sloppily when serving food.
They will even be very careful to avoid oil splashing on their bodies when cooking.
If it has splashed onto the body, the chef will definitely change his clothes before serving the food on important occasions to ensure that his clothes are clean and tidy.
After finishing the tidying up, Su Jinrong looked back at his son-in-law.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Yifan, you seem a little nervous?"
Originally Feng Yifan was really nervous, but after hearing what his father-in-law said, he thought about it and laughed.
"Hahaha, Dad, now that you said that, I don't seem to be nervous anymore."
Su Jinrong smiled when he heard this, looked at his son-in-law carefully, then stepped forward to help tidy up his son-in-law's clothes, and even took off his apron and tied it for his son-in-law with his own hands. Finally, he also straightened his son-in-law's chef hat.
After taking two steps back and taking a closer look, Su Jinrong finally confirmed that it was correct.
Su Jinrong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Great, my son-in-law is very handsome."
Feng Yifan was completely amused by his father-in-law and no longer felt nervous at all.
"Dad, I suddenly realized that you are quite good at livening up the atmosphere now, huh?"
Su Jinrong smiled slightly: "Of course, your father-in-law also needs to keep up with the times. What's more, I am with Ruoruo and the other two every day. They teach me a lot. So, now your father-in-law has a good mentality. Even if this dish is not successful, I will not be hit."
Hearing his father-in-law say this, Feng Yifan understood that his father-in-law had also thought of his concerns.
Feng Yifan said: "Dad, I believe you can do it."
Su Jinrong said in a more relaxed tone: "Okay, let's go and serve the food."
After saying that, Su Jinrong took a step forward and walked towards the last private room step by step very solemnly.
When he arrived at the door, Su Jinrong first knocked on it gently.
Then he opened the door and brought his son-in-law in.
Hearing the knock on the door, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei immediately turned their heads and stared at the open door.
Seeing grandpa and dad coming in, Feng Ruoruo immediately shouted happily: "Grandpa, Dad."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also shouted along.
Su Jinrong smiled and put his index finger to his lips and said, "Shh, did you three eat well today?"
Feng Ruoruo nodded and said, "Grandpa, let's all eat our meal obediently."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Grandpa Su, we are so good."
Chen Yaofei said: "Grandpa Su, we ate a lot, and many of the dishes were delicious."
Su Jinrong asked again: "Are you full?"
The three little girls shook their heads together: "No."
Su Jinrong walked forward with satisfaction and said, "Okay, it's good that you're not full. Now, it's grandpa's first dish. You and the two great grandfathers who came from afar can eat together, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei immediately sat down obediently and agreed in unison: "Okay."
Su Jinrong then looked at the two old men and bowed to them first.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhu, my first dish is here."
Feng Yifan then stepped forward, opened the lid, took out the first dish from the tray, and placed it respectfully on the dining table.
Su Jinrong introduced: "Su-made peony, please enjoy it."
Hearing the name of the dish, old man Zhang, old man Zhu and Zhuang Daozhong stood up together.
The three old men looked at the dish on the plate on the table together.
After seeing the dish carefully, the three old men were very excited.
Mr. Zhang said, "Finally, I finally see this peony flower again."
Mr. Zhu said: "Yes, it has been many years, and it finally reappeared."
Zhuang Daozhong said, "Jinrong, I didn't expect you to be able to make it. This Suzhou-style peony dish was a dish that was highly praised by my senior brother at the state banquet. I didn't expect you to be able to make it."
Su Jinrong said seriously: "This is all thanks to Yifan. He helped me to recreate Su Zao Tang. This is my first attempt to make it. I would like to invite Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhu and my uncle to taste it together."
The three old men looked at each other.
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "Okay, let's try it."
Except for the three elderly people, the other elderly people didn't quite understand. They just looked at the dish on the plate, which looked like a blooming peony. It was indeed very delicate and beautiful.
Feng Yifan then began to explain to the others.
"This dish uses pork from different parts, marinated at different temperatures, and finally shredded and placed on a plate. It is then steamed and thickened with Suzhou soup. The dish is considered a royal dish, and was originally made by my grandfather based on an old recipe."
Mr. Zhang said, "Yes, it is indeed a royal dish. However, Master Su has improved it by replacing the original luxurious ingredients with more common ingredients. But the taste is still delicious."
Mr. Zhu went on to say, "The meat from different parts of the meat has been stewed for a long time and then steamed. It is already very soft and tender, and it can be said to melt in your mouth. Add to that the seasoning sauce made by Master Su, which has a relatively sweet and sour taste to neutralize the greasiness of the meat. It is really delicious."
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Okay, everyone try it. I wonder if I can recreate the taste of my father's dish."
So everyone started to eat.
Use serving chopsticks to pick up some and put them in your own small plate.
Feng Yifan finally used a serving chopstick to pick up some food for each of the three little girls and put them on small plates.
Afterwards, everyone started to taste this dish.
After everyone tasted this dish.
Mr. Zhu was the first to speak: "This is the taste. It is so delicious. I haven't tasted this taste for many years."
Old Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what it tastes like. It's fat but not greasy, and it tastes very soft and sticky. However, the texture of each different part of the meat is different."
Feng Ruoruo followed up by saying, "Grandpa, Dad, this is delicious."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Yes, it's delicious."
Chen Yaofei said: "It's delicious."
Seeing that everyone said that the dish was delicious, Su Jinrong also smiled and was really happy.
Zhuang Daozhong also stood up and said, "The key to this dish is that Brother cut every part of the meat into shreds. The combination of these shredded meats makes the whole dish taste very different, and it completely covers up the greasy feeling."
In fact, there are some tricks to shredding this dish, because different parts need to be cut into different shreds.
For example, the tenderloin should be cut a little thinner.
The meat of the pork belly needs to be cut thicker.
Only by combining them together can a diverse taste be achieved.
I have to say, especially the seasoning at the end, which used the soup from the braised meat and two kinds of vinegar, it was very easy to remove the grease in Su's house.
So this dish is really suitable for all ages.
The old people enjoyed the meal very much, and the children were even happier.
The meat is delicious, but the meat in this dish makes it even better.
The quantity of food is not that much, but it is just enough for everyone to eat something. It is really satisfying, but there is nothing left.
Seeing that everyone was satisfied with the meal, Su Jinrong finally felt relieved.
"Thank you for your support. Please wait for the next dish."
Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, I am really looking forward to the next dish now."
Mr. Zhu said, "The next dish should probably be that one, right? After the heavy-tasting dish, there will definitely be a light-tasting dish. I am also looking forward to it."
When the little girls heard what the two old men said, they immediately clamored to know.
"Grandpa, what's the dish behind?"
"Xixi wants to know too."
"Fei Fei also wants to know, Grandpa, can you tell us?"
Su Jinrong looked at the three little girls, smiled and said, "Let's keep it a secret for now. We need to keep the suspense. You will know when the food is served. Okay, grandpa will go and make it."
Feng Yifan told the children to be good and obedient, and then he followed his father-in-law out.
Feng Ruoruo sat down angrily and said, "Humph, grandpa and dad are really so stupid. They didn't even tell us."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also looked angry.
When the old people in the room saw the little girls, they all burst out laughing. The two old men who came from afar were also very amused by the three little girls.
Hearing the laughter in the room behind him, Su Jinrong said to his son-in-law who was following behind him: "That's great, we finally finished your grandfather's dish."
Feng Yifan took a few steps forward and said, "Dad, you can definitely do it. I have always believed in this."
Su Jinrong turned his head and looked at his son-in-law and said, "Thank you, Yifan."
Feng Yifan quickly said, "Dad, you don't have to thank me."
Su Jinrong said seriously: "I must say that it was your return that resolved the crisis at Su Ji and gave Su Ji new vitality. Even I was infected. Without you, I would not have recovered so quickly. Without you, Su Ji would not have been so lively. Without you, I would not have been able to replicate your grandfather's dishes."
Feng Yifan looked at his father-in-law quietly, then grinned and said, "Dad, this is what I should do."
