Chapter 168: Su Bei, the God of Cooking
(Thanks to Steer'ss for the monthly pass and Brain Guer for the tip)
The old man spoke, and naturally no one in the family dared to object.
But in fact, the women in the family, no matter who they are, even Sister Beibei's mother Zhao Yali, are all from good backgrounds, plus now that life is getting better and better, there are nannies at home, and they are usually pampered, and it is okay to cook meals for three or four people occasionally, but tonight the four small families got together, and the adults and children together were eighteen, and the two big tables were still not satisfied, and let them cook meals for nearly twenty people, which obviously made them a little embarrassed.
It's not that it can't be done, in the past, when we got together for the New Year's holiday, I would also cook a meal, but they were all their own specialty dishes, but now they have to cook according to the ingredients brought by Subei, which is obviously a bit of a hurry.
While several women were doing things, the men were watching outside the kitchen, and when they saw the mess in the kitchen, the old man suddenly frowned a little.
At this time, Su Bei knew that it was time to make a move, so he stood up decisively and said: "A few aunts and aunts, let me come, some ingredients are inconvenient to pack up, and you still need strength, why don't you let me come, you can go to the living room to chat." ”
Seeing that Su Bei suddenly interjected, everyone turned their eyes to him.
Li Beibei knows that his Xiaobei is usually very lazy, and when he was in South Korea, he usually ate everything at home made by Su Huai, but that does not mean that Su Bei does not know how to cook, on the contrary, Su Bei's cooking skills are very good, although it is not as good as Su Huai's special training, but it is also very good, the last time he had his birthday, Xiaobei cooked by himself, and the dishes he made were very delicious.
"Yes, Mom, come out and let Xiaobei behave well, his cooking skills are very good. But it's rare to be able to show it once, I've known him for so long, and I only ate Xiaobei's dishes on my birthday, and today we're blessed!" Li Beibei said to a few women in the kitchen, and then added: "I'll just give him a hand." ”
Seeing Li Beibei say this, several women in the family who had become impatient did not insist, said a few words of anticipation of Subei's craftsmanship, and came out of the kitchen.
When Bei Bei wanted to enter the kitchen, Su Bei stopped her and said with a smile: "I'll be alone." You look at the door, first look at my knife work. ”
Su Bei first sorted out what to do: beef and potato soup, stir-fried beef with celery, braised carp, tuna sashimi...... and then prepare each dish accordingly.
It takes a certain amount of time to stew potatoes with beef, Subei prepares this dish first, there are two kinds of beef, North Shore Beef and Purple Mountain Beef, stewed potatoes Subei intends to use Purple Mountain Beef, and the other celery stir-fried beef uses North Shore Beef. Su Bei took the beef out of the refrigerator and held a kitchen knife in his hand. Seemingly casually, he made more than a dozen cuts on a large piece of beef, simply a dozen knives, and immediately divided a large piece of beef into more than a dozen parts, and then waved a knife to cut the meat. The speed is extremely fast, and it is difficult to see the shadow of the knife with the naked eye, and you can only hear the rhythm of 'chopping, chopping', just like those chefs on TV when they perform knife work. Even Subei behaved more chic and casual, and when cutting meat, he glanced at Li Beibei at the door from time to time.
After a while, the beef was cut. Each piece is about the same size and thickness, and is neatly placed on the board.
Peel and dice the potatoes, and that's still it.
Subei is ready to make eight dishes, count the number of people, to make two large tables, so each dish has to be two large portions, potato stew beef stew in the pot first, after a while, the rich meat fragrance came out of the kitchen, a few children in the family smelled the fragrance to find the kitchen, just saw Subei with a knife comparable to a special chef in the cooking of a large piece of tuna meat, do sashimi is the most particular knife work, Subei is actually the first time to do, he also made a special call to Su Gui, asked about the place to pay attention, although it is the first time to do, but his five-layer strength of the transformation of the knife work, that is not a piece of cake, in the eyes of children, Subei is like a kitchen god in a martial arts movie, using a kitchen knife that can only see the afterimage, and with a few brushes, he cut the tuna into sashimi as thin as thin paper.
"Dad, Mom, is the eldest brother-in-law a chef?"
Li Jun's youngest son, eleven-year-old Li Ruyi, ran into the living room and asked his parents loudly that the little guy had just recently watched an old movie called "The God of Cooking".
A few people chatting loudly in the living room listened to the movement and went to the kitchen to take a look, looking at the kitchen has been stacked with all kinds of neat and regular ingredients, and suddenly they were shocked by the knife work of Subei, and smelled the aroma of potato stew and beef stew coming from the pot above the stove, and immediately praised Subei's cooking skills.
"Sister-in-law, it seems that our Beibei has a good eye, and we have found a young and promising young man like Xiaobei, and his cooking skills are so good, and he will be blessed in the future. Li Li smiled and praised Zhao Yali: "Look, Bei Bei also said that he would do it, but he didn't even step into the kitchen door." ”
Zhao Yali didn't speak yet, but Sister Beibei next to her said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, in fact, our Xiaobei classmates usually don't cook at home at all, they are all done by housekeepers, and it is rare to perform once today, so naturally he has to play his best." ”
"Housekeeper?" Not only Li Li, but the rest of the adults who came to the kitchen to watch all looked at Li Beibei suspiciously.
The word housekeeper is rare in today's society.
Su Bei explained in the kitchen: "It's my apprentice, who usually works as a housekeeper. ”
While speaking, everyone's impression of Subei became deeper and deeper, and their senses became better and better.
Although the northern part of Jiangsu is not as good as a professional chef in grasping the heat of the meal, the knife maker decided that all the ingredients used are superb, plus the cooking skills are quite good, and some spiritual liquid has been occasionally added to the meal as a seasoning, and when the two large tables of food are put on the table, even the old man Li, who is usually not very particular about eating, couldn't help but smell the aroma and swallow his saliva.
A few children in the family couldn't help it for a long time, and one of them filled a small bowl with stewed beef and chewed it with a mouthful of meat.
Everyone sat down at the dinner table, and Li Mu, who had just returned from Haicheng, said to Subei with a smile: "Xiaobei, Uncle hasn't had time to thank you for this Haicheng matter, so he ate the meal you cooked himself, is the beef used in this potato beef stew the same North Shore beef? And I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good, look at this knife work, it's comparable to a special chef. ”
The second aunt sitting next to Li Mu also complimented them, and Subei helped them a lot this time.
Su Bei smiled and said: "Second uncle, then you and the second aunt will eat more later, this stewed potato is made of purple mountain beef, and the fried celery is made of North Shore beef, although the two kinds of beef are different, but the quality is the best in the world, everyone will know after tasting it, it will not be worse than that Kobe beef." ”
In fact, there is still a sentence in Subei's heart, that is, such a good beef, used to stew potatoes and stir-fry celery, is it. (To be continued......)
