Chapter 20: This Craft Is Awesome Plath
Li Mingxiang saw that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction, and he was quite anxious, how could it be like this, if it was delayed any longer, today's important dinner would be yellow.
was also angry in his heart, Wang Fugui, a bastard, made it difficult for him to ride a tiger, and directly agreed to nothing.
If Xu Xia's craftsmanship is not good, these vegetable carvers in the back kitchen should all be fired!
"Brother Xu Xia......"
Li Mingxiang wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't know what to say.
Xu Xia first shook his head at Li Mingxiang, and then thought of Wang Fugui's words, and suddenly felt happy, and kowtowed to admit his mistake?
"Really, then please be ready to kowtow and admit your mistakes!"
Xu Xia didn't talk nonsense, picked out two relatively regular white radishes from the vegetable basket, and took some vegetable leaves of several different colors to decorate the color, and then pressed out the juice of these vegetable leaves and collected them together.
It took about a few minutes to prepare, and then I started picking knives.
The knives are quite complete, Xu Xia did not deliberately pretend to use a kitchen knife, no matter how good the kitchen knife is, it is inherently defective, after all, the sharpest angle is also a right angle of 90 degrees, and the carving is shallower, and it is not easy to use once the carving is deeper.
Grabbed a fairly good long strip-shaped knife, took it in his hand, and took advantage of it.
Then he pushed the mandarin duck smashed on the cutting board to the ground, staring at the two big radishes with his eyes to observe, they were in a hurry to do it, but now they conceived the picture of the mandarin duck playing in the water in their minds.
The cook looked at Xu Xia motionless, and couldn't help but pout and sneer,
If you stare at the radish, you can see the mandarin ducks playing in the water, what's the point of us practicing our craft!"
Wang Fugui recognized the cook's words very much, and felt that Xu Xia was just acting like him, and he was disdainful, see how you step down later!
He deliberately paid attention to Xu Xia's palm just now, and there was no callus at all.
Even if it is a pier hand, the hand where the handle of the kitchen knife is held, will have calluses due to the wear and tear of the palm for a long time.
The work of the vegetable carver is more delicate and more difficult, but there is no suspense that the tools of vegetable carving in the hands for a long time will inevitably give birth to calluses.
"Chef Wang, I think it's better to forget it, it's not just delaying everyone's time, if you can't serve the meal on time, who is the responsibility?"
A cook spoke.
Everyone looked at Wang Fugui, at this time Wang Fugui was full of confidence, he did not answer, but looked at Li Mingxiang, as if to say, you found this kind of goods, although you are the boss, but you have to give everyone an explanation No.
Li Mingxiang's old god was there, as if he hadn't seen everyone's gaze at all, and he even had a little bad taste in his heart, when these short-sighted bastards saw Xu Xia's true craftsmanship, they hoped not to be scared stupid!
Xu Xia was engrossed, and every detail of the mandarin duck playing in the water had completely appeared in his mind, and suddenly his figure began to move.
The movement in his hand was extremely fast, and the knife seemed to have a soul, constantly drawing lines on the big white radish, picking out the excess parts, and so on.
If you don't move, it's like a mountain, and if you move, it's like a strong wind!
In everyone's eyes, there was only the flash of the fast-jumping knife and the afterimage of the five fingers that couldn't see the movement at all.
The faces of Wang Fugui and the others changed from disdain, to frowning, shocked, and speechless!
The scene fell into a strange silence, except for the slight friction of the knife back and forth on the big white radish, only the sound of the crowd's breathing gradually becoming rapid, and the extremely rhythmic thumping heartbeat!
The cook who was smashed by Xu Xia and smashed the mandarin duck vegetable carving was already sweating profusely, and his eyes were about to stare at the ground, this kind of craftsmanship, I'm afraid those other people's children can't do it!
Li Mingxiang saw Xu Xia show his hand in the live broadcast last time, but in order to make the picture more smooth and avoid delay problems, the frame rate of the picture is relatively low, and the sense of fluency is definitely not as good as what he saw with his own eyes, and the scene in front of him shocked him even more, his eyes were shining, as far as Xu Xia's craftsmanship is concerned, let alone 3,000 yuan, even if it is 5,000 yuan, it is worth it!
I've found a treasure!
Once the plate is served on the table tonight, it will definitely cause a sensation, and the name of Hongcheng Hotel will also be known by these giant businessmen and leaders from Rongcheng, and the benefits are self-evident.
After about four minutes, Xu Xia's movements at hand finally stopped, and two mandarin ducks appeared on the chopping board, although they had not been colored for the time being, they still gave people a vivid sense of déjà vu.
But at this time, everyone was still in shock and did not come back to their senses.
Xu Xia didn't stop, and sprinkled the vegetable juice of several different colors that had been prepared in advance on the two mandarin ducks just right.
When the eyes were finally dotted on the heads of the two mandarin ducks, the two mandarin ducks immediately gave people a feeling of being alive, as if there were two real mandarin ducks playing in the water on the chopping board.
"Good! good!"
Li Mingxiang drank three good words in a row, breaking the silence of the scene.
It can be seen how happy his mood is, looking at the lifelike mandarin ducks playing in the water on the dinner plate, he can't help but appreciate:
"In ancient times, there was the finishing touch, and now there is the mandarin duck carved by Brother Xu Xia, admire, admire!"
Xu Xia just smiled faintly, taking people's money and doing things for others, and by the way, let the people who can't open their eyes have a long insight, that's all.
Li Mingxiang glanced at the vegetable carver just now, then looked at Wang Fugui, and said:
"Chef Wang, what else do you have to say now?!"
There was a distinctly unpleasant questioning tone in the speech.
Wang Fugui shook his head and pulled himself away from the shock, his eyes were red, and he had a bunch of words in his heart that he wanted to refute, but the vivid mandarin ducks playing in the water in front of him made him speechless.
I really lost my eyes this time.
And the vegetable carver and cook were stunned at this time, and his brain was like being smashed by a hammer that said 1000T, and it was a piece of paste.
This Nima is not scientific! Such a good craft actually came to a small place like Hongcheng County to compete with them for jobs?
The rest of the cooks no longer stood up to speak, Xu Xia showed his strength, they had nothing to say, more were ashamed, they didn't even know the details of the people, so they made a lot of nonsense there.
Wang Fugui gritted his teeth, looked at Xu Xia with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said:
"I'm willing to gamble and lose! Isn't it just kowtowing and admitting mistakes, it's not a big deal! After all, I'm clumsy, and I can't blame anyone!"
Between the words, Wang Fugui was about to kneel.
Xu Xia was a little surprised, he originally thought that Wang Fugui would be tricked because of this, after all, this era is about kneeling to the sky and the ground, kneeling to parents, and the man has gold under his knees, and he kneels to him in front of so many people, which is very embarrassing.
The chef of a four-star hotel can really pull down his face and kneel down to admit his mistakes, which is completely beyond his expectations.
