Chapter 518: Knife Worker
The most conspicuous thing on Boss Du's cart is a large pig iron knife, fifty centimeters long and thirty centimeters wide, and you can see that it is very heavy when you look at the thickness.
And there is no knife handle on it, and the blade is thick on the side. However, it can be seen that the blade is unusually sharp, and the cold light on it is shining.
"Brother, what does this mean?" Yang Xiaojing asked in a low voice, "This big knife monster is infiltrating!"
Yang Meng said with a smile: "The authentic Beidu shabu mutton uses the traditional copper pot to burn charcoal, the clear soup pot bottom sesame sauce dipping sauce, the mutton is supplemented by the main green vegetables, and some of the mutton is cut by hand. You're just waiting for your eyes to open. ”
"Eye-opening?" Yang Xiaojing asked puzzledly, "Isn't it just cutting a mutton?"
Yang Meng smiled and shook his head: "This hand-cut mutton is exquisite, in general, four sentences, that is, 'thin as paper, spoon like pulp, like a line, beautiful as a flower', this cut mutton should be put on the plate to be able to see the pattern on the plate through the meat slices! ”
Boss Du smiled after hearing this: "How, expert?"
Yang Meng smiled: "It's not that I'm boasting, in fact, my knife skills are really good." ”
Of course, his knife skills are good, and he has nothing to do to go to the underworld except to send wine to that mysterious big brother, that is, to find all kinds of younger brothers to learn techniques. For example, the knife work of 'Ding'.
Who is 'Ding'? Liang Huiwang's cook, the best knife man in the world. It is the "ding" of "Ku Ding Xie Niu", and "Ku" means cook!
Boss Du smiled even more happily: "You are very interesting, and you are not modest, but how dare you say that, you must have a job in your hands, then I will be ugly first!"
He opened the crisper and took out the lamb from it.
Generally speaking, even if the mutton is cut by hand, the mutton that has been frozen will be cut. It's easy to go under the knife, but a more traditional and tasty way is to use fresh lamb to slice the meat, remove the fascia of the lamb and then cut it with a knife. And that's what Boss Du did.
Yang Xiaojing looked at the mutton taken out of the crisper and asked, "Brother, why does this mutton look different from mutton?"
Yang Meng said with a smile: "This is called 'Old Eight Pieces', this is 'Mutton Tendon', this is 'Big Three Forks', this is 'Upper Brain', This is 'Crotch Grinding', this color should be 'Tenderloin', here is 'Tendon', these two pieces are 'One Head Sinking' and 'Cucumber Strips'." ”
"What are these names?" Yang Xiaojing complained.
Yang Meng explained: "These are all local names, for example, 'cucumber strips' are the hind legs of the sheep, the 'big three prongs' are near the buttocks of the sheep, and the 'upper brain' is the meat on the side of the backbone." The meat tastes different in the eight places, so it should be cut separately and shabu-shabu. ”
"It's really exquisite. Yang Xiaojing sighed.
Boss Du picked up his big wide knife, and he didn't know if it was a trick or a habit, the square knife kept rotating in his hand, making people feel terrified when they looked at it: If this big knife flies out and slashes at people, it won't kill you?
Liu Chenghu is not worried, he is not surprised, Yang Meng is not worried, and he is not afraid of flying out; but Yang Xiaojing and Saori Kimura have been dumbfounded, Saori Kimura even applauded------ tsk, whether it is playing false or real, this Dongying person does know how to be polite!
And Boss Du began to go under the knife after playing the flower work: this mutton is fresh mutton, so it is better than frozen sheep
The meat is much softer, but Boss Du continuously cuts the knife along the direction of the muscle fibers, and the cut meat slices keep falling on the plate, and the length, width and thickness of the cut meat slices are almost exactly the same!
Now even Yang Xiaojing couldn't help but applaud!
But Yang Meng saw the problem: there is a shadow of the ancient martial arts knife in this Boss Du's knife cutting technique, and he will change the better way of cutting the knife through small changes in the wrist according to the muscle texture of the mutton every time he cuts------- this Boss Du is definitely a practitioner!
Uh, it's strange that he doesn't practice his family, can he be a good stubble when he was with Liu Shaoshan?
Boss Du quickly cut a plate of 'big three forks', and he said to Yang Meng with a smile: "This friend, didn't you say that your knife skills are also good?
Yang Meng suddenly laughed after hearing this.
Boss Du was puzzled and asked, "Friend, what are you laughing at?"
Yang Meng said helplessly: "I now believe that you are Old Man Liu's comrade-in-arms, and you people will not admit defeat in your bones." You have to compete with others when you cut meat?"
Boss Du was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed: "Actually, I can just listen to others, but when I heard that you are an expert." Let me tell you, how many young people nowadays understand this? They all think that foreigners are good, and they have to be superstitious about what 'Michelin' eats Western food, as if they think that is the best. Let's not talk about cooking skills or anything, the knife work handed down by our ancestors alone is enough for foreigners to learn for a few years! It's not that I blow it, our apprentices here are better than the knife skills of any three-star Michelin chef!"
Yang Meng was also happy after hearing this, is this Boss Du still an old angry young man?
Of course, he is not wrong, Chinese food pays attention to knife work, and Western food is not unparticular, but compared with Chinese food, it is not a horizontal line!
Yang Meng nodded: "Old man, what you said is really right, I originally thought that 'the moon is round in a foreign country', but after going out for a while, I found that he was also ignorant when he should be ignorant! The president of the family said that drinking disinfectant can cure diseases, and in less than ten minutes after the news was broadcast, someone really drank disinfectant and died! Even that Spider-Man didn't even have a passport before he met Iron Man, right?"
As a result, Boss Du looked confused after hearing this: "What spider?
Yang Meng scratched his head, yes, there is a generation gap!
Boss Du beckoned to Yang Meng: "Come on, show your hands and take a look!"
He was so active in letting Yang Meng 'show his hands' was selfish, he wanted to see how talented Yang Meng was, and pass on this knife technique to Yang Meng.
Although Xiao Si'er has good sword skills now, his talent is there, and it is difficult to make a higher breakthrough. He didn't want his sword skills to be lost, he originally wanted to pass it on to Liu Chenghu, but Liu Chenghu was blind, now look at Yang Meng's taste for himself, and want to see if Yang Meng has talent, if so, it's not bad to accept an apprentice!
Liu Chenghu attaches so much importance to the person, and even told him about his relationship with Liu Shaoshan, which shows that this person should not have a bad character!
However, Yang Meng didn't know that Boss Du was thinking like this, and now he felt a little awkward in his heart.
What's the matter with you old man? I just said a few more words to explain to my own sister when you were cutting the meat, and I have been helping you say good things, but you have to let me cut the meat?
There is no way to go to a hotel in the world
The rule of eating shabu mutton and cutting mutton by yourself?
What do you mean, you want to see me make a fool of myself?
Hehe, you're thinking too much!
Thinking of this, Yang Meng stood up: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
There was a hand cleaning pool outside the door, Yang Meng went to wash his hands and wipe it clean and returned to the house, wanting to grab the big wide knife.
After Boss Du saw it, he stretched out his hand to stop him: "Little brother, this knife is specially made by me, ordinary people are not used to it, if there is an ordinary pig iron kitchen knife, I will get you one?"
Yang Meng shook his head: "Just use this one!"
"This knife。。。。。。 Boss Du still wanted to speak, but Yang Meng had already reached out and grabbed the kitchen knife on the cutting board and threw it directly into the sky. The kitchen knife spun and went up to the sky! By the time people came back to their senses, the kitchen knife had already fallen.
Boss Du subconsciously took a step back and dodged the knife to the ground, but Yang Meng didn't move, but stretched out a finger, and then a shocking scene appeared: the back of the generous kitchen knife fell on Yang Meng's finger, and then it rotated quickly with Yang Meng's finger as the axis!
Boss Du just wanted to speak, but Yang Meng picked up a piece of mutton from the cutting board with his left hand and put it in his hand, and the large piece of knife that was constantly rotating in his right hand also stopped, and Yang Meng held the back of the knife.
"You don't need a chopping board?" Boss Du hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't you hold it up, my knife is special, not an ordinary sharp!
Yang Meng smiled slightly: "The ginkgo wood cutting board has been used for at least thirty years, and it is really not easy to use such a thick ginkgo wood cutting board for so long." ”
In fact, the cutting board is also particular, generally speaking, the ironwood cutting board is harder, especially the quality of Longzhou is the best! But now the ironwood has been protected, and the ironwood cutting board sold in China is generally from Southeast Asia.
Ironwood cutting boards are good, but they are not suitable for the north, because they are trees in the south, and the air humidity is high there, and the north is drier, so in the north, ironwood cutting boards are easy to crack if they are not well maintained.
The ginkgo wood cutting board is not as hard as the ironwood cutting board, but its hardness has a protective effect on the blade of the kitchen knife, and the ginkgo wood has a special smell, which has an antibacterial effect and is not easy to crack. So it is more suitable for northern use. And cutting lamb doesn't need to be chopped hard, this ginkgo wood cutting board is of course the most suitable.
Through this ginkgo wood cutting board, you can see that this Boss Du is really very particular, but does Yang Meng need it?
Not at all!
I saw Yang Meng with a big knife in his right hand and mutton in his left hand, and the blade flew up and down on his hand. Everyone's eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of Yang Meng's knife, and they only saw slices of cut mutton accurately falling into the plate in front of them.
"That's it!"
After Yang Meng finished speaking, several people found that the mutton in Yang Meng's hand had been cut out, and the mutton that fell on the plate in front of them naturally fell into the pattern of a rose.
At this time, the door was pushed open, Niu Zhiqin and Ou Na walked in, seeing everyone's expressions, Niu Zhiqin was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing with your mouths open one by one?"
As soon as her voice fell, she saw Boss Du stomp his feet fiercely and said angrily: ", from today on, if I cut mutton again, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Du!"
