Chapter 118: Xiao Xiu's hand
Tofu, mushrooms, small greens, and vermicelli at home, that is, the four ingredients used tonight, come back from the vegetable market, bring vermicelli, Xu Guangling thought about it for a while, and brought a little salt, then he brought these things and went to Zhang's hometown.

Zhang Lao said that there are pots and pans at home, but considering that the old man doesn't cook by himself, it's really hard to say whether there is salt or anything at home.
As for the oil, in fact, Xu Guangling also wanted to bring it, but this was really inconvenient, and the oil he bought was the blended oil in the supermarket, and it was not a good oil worthy of praise, so after thinking about it again, forget it.
If Zhang's family really doesn't have oil and salt, then the two old people will be reluctant to eat a "clear soup and little water" tonight, and in fact, even if the oil is put in, Xu Guangling will only put a little bit.
There is tofu too.
Besides, people's genuine nine-grade white jade soup still doesn't let go of a drop of oil.
Anyway, it's half past four in the afternoon, Xu Guangling estimates that the time is about the same.
When he entered the community, Xu Guangling ushered in a slightly strange look after the post office today, Brother Zhao, who was standing guard at the door, saw Xu Guangling carrying tofu dishes and other things to the door, his eyes were really indescribably weird, he looked at him very much, and even smiled at him.
Maybe it's because Xu Guangling brought ingredients today and it was inconvenient to open the door?
So this time, Xu Guangling enjoyed the treatment of the second old man at the door again, and then he kept leading him through the east side room, and then, behind the small building, there was actually a rather small courtyard!
In the middle of the courtyard, there is an open canopy, and there are several pots underneath.
"It is occasionally used for boiling medicine for teachers. Seeing Xu Guangling looking at the pot, Zhang Lao explained.
Hearing this explanation, Xu Guangling was stunned as to why the old man had pots and pans here.
There is nothing to say next, it is estimated that the old man was quite prepared this morning, so the things that Xu Guangling needs to use, knives, cutting boards, etc., are placed in a very conspicuous position on the case, as for the faucet, there are several in the yard, and Xu Guangling doesn't know what to do with so many faucets.
Pots and pans are even cleaner.
So Xu Guangling didn't have anything to say, put down the ingredients, cleaned his hands, and then rolled up his sleeves and started drying.
The two old men stood next to Xu Guangling and watched him do it, and they watched it with relish, as if they were watching a trick. Xu Guangling is not stage frightened at all, he is "the true heir of the nineteenth generation of Huaxia Shenchumen", and he said so when he chatted with Dasha Jiagongzi on QQ that day.
Why do you dare to brag like this? Of course, there is some confidence.
He doesn't know the difference between the front elbow and the back elbow of the pig, he doesn't know which of the three kinds of sugar is the most suitable for the dish, and he doesn't know which of the eight major Chinese cuisines has the widest audience.
But!
But the dream gave him something to rely on.
Xu Guangling first put the vermicelli in clean water and soaked it, this vermicelli does not need to be soaked for a long time, twenty minutes is enough, and then it is the processing of several other ingredients, when he picked up the knife to cut the tofu, the rapid movement, so that the extremely thin tofu shreds cut out, the two old people looked straight.
This is by no means that the two old people have not seen it, finer tofu shreds than this, Mr. Chen does not say it, Zhang Lao must have seen it.
But......
How to say it, this performance should not appear on Xu Guangling.
"Humble words, have you really practiced cooking?" Zhang Lao couldn't help but ask.
You don't need to look at anything else, just this knife technique, it is by no means comparable to an ordinary "home chef", in fact, even if it is a chef, a real chef! It is estimated that it cannot be compared with Xu Guangling's performance at this time in terms of knife work.
In other words, it can also be said that with this knife work, Xu Guangling said that he was a chef, and the two old men probably didn't dare not believe it.
If it weren't for the fact that they had been in contact with Xu Guangling for a while, and the two elders had psychologically accepted that Xu Guangling was a "genius", I am afraid that the surprise at this time would be even worse. -- Normal young people, even professional chefs, are unlikely or unlikely to have such knife skills.
That proficiency is, at first glance, the kind of "decades of skill".
As the so-called connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one, and with this knife work, the two elders were convinced of Xu Guangling's "good cooking".
"The disciple is a genius, so he learns everything quickly, and the same is true for cooking. Xu Guangling's movements in his hands didn't stop at all, but he said with a smile.
Yes, genius, learn anything quickly, this cooking, this knife work, just one day, no, just one night!
The two old men didn't know that this stinky and shameless guy was talking nonsense, they were all praised, and Mr. Chen also gave Xu Guangling a thumbs up. If he knew the inside story, I don't know if he would replace his thumb with a big foot underneath.
The skill of the knife can be seen by the two old men. Anyone can see it.
But the next cooking, whether it is good or bad, ordinary people don't know, looking at Zhang Lao's expression, Xu Guangling estimates that his teacher should not understand this, but the two old men look at Xu Guangling's expression, and his movements like flowing clouds, they know that this guy is estimated to be really two.
Of course, at this time, no matter how good the performance is, it still has to be proved by the results.
It is not uncommon for good flowers to bear crooked fruits.
But for Xu Guangling, he still has this basic confidence. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to follow suit and perform this hand for the two old men. Although this soup is only the first time he has made it, he still has a self-evaluation of eighty points.
If he just saw the nine-grade white jade soup in his dream, Xu Guangling might be able to give his soup ninety points at this time, of course, the nine-grade white jade soup is one hundred points. However, after seeing the "Ten Bacteria Clear Soup" later, even if it was a wonderful nine-grade white jade soup, even if Xu Guangling couldn't say that it was bad and needed to deduct points, he could only give it ninety points, and give way to the Ten Bacteria Clear Soup.
So at this time, his own soup could only lean back and lean to the eighty position. In this way, it is even slightly exaggerated. If you really judge it strictly, it is estimated that you can only score 75 points.
That is, between the good and the good at the level of "good", it is not rated as excellent.
In a short time, the soup was ready. In fact, the main reason is that the vermicelli takes a little time, if it's just mushroom tofu greens, it's good in minutes.
The dishes and chopsticks have been prepared for a long time, and this soup is still quite attractive when it is served in the bowl.
In fact, in terms of appearance, how to say, there is no too specific index, but a chef, as long as he is a little more skilled in cooking, will always consciously or unconsciously pay attention to the "color" of the dish, and then form his own characteristics.
Just like shredded tofu, it is the same thickness, but how long is it to be the most suitable for taste and "color"?
And how to deal with other materials, in terms of appearance, so that the whole dish can be the most harmonious in appearance? If you are serious, this has actually risen to the level of aesthetics. - If you don't want to say anything else, if a chef asks him or her to learn art and painting for a few more years, after a few years, when he or she starts cooking again, it will definitely be different from before.
What's the difference?
It is in the appearance of the dish that it is influenced by art painting, and it is quite an influence!
Xu Guangling doesn't understand aesthetics, and he is not a skilled cook, but for a "cheater", he doesn't need these, and naturally he can make the dishes that make him satisfied in all aspects. The taste is so, the texture is so, and the appearance is so.
"Teacher, Elder Chen, please, try it, how is this skill of the disciple. Xu Guangling said with a smile.
