Its function is to (1) destroy the fiber of the raw material, so that the texture of the raw material from hard toughness to soft, (2) make the shape of the raw material thinner, the plane area larger, (3) make the surface of the raw material smooth and uniform. The operation essentials of the slap are: put the cut raw materials on the vegetable pier with the cross-section facing up and press flat, and hold the clapper knife in the right hand and shoot downward. The amount of force depends on the hardness and toughness of the raw material, and the harder the fiber of the raw material, the greater the force. The left hand holds down the bone handle of the raw material, if there is no bone handle, every time you pat, the left finger then gently touches the press to prevent it from being picked up by the knife.

The method of shooting can be divided into two types: straight shooting and pulling shooting. 1. Straight shooting: The operation method is to hold the handle of the racket with the right hand facing down and pull it straight down. This method is suitable for processing tender raw materials or at the beginning of raw material production. 2. Pull the beat: The operation method is to shoot hard from the top to the bottom, and then pull it backward or to the left and right. When operating, you can wipe some water on the knife plane to prevent the raw materials from sticking to the knife. This method is suitable for processing raw materials that are tough or need to be shot very thin. When processing raw materials, it is usually used alternately between straight and pull beats. Generally, the fibers of the raw materials are patted away with a straight pat, and then the raw materials are thinned by the method of pulling the pat. Chopping Chopping is also one of the most frequently used knife techniques. The operation method is to hold the knife with the right hand and exert force vertically downward, without pushing forward and pulling backwards. Different from cutting, the knife is raised high, the knife is fast, and the force is large. Control the raw material with your left hand, but do not press the first joint of your finger against the side of the knife. According to the different processing requirements, it can be divided into three methods: chopping, chopping, and chopping.

1. Chopping: This method uses a machete or a thick and heavy splitting knife. The method of operation is to grasp the ingredients with your left hand, hold the knife with your right hand, and chop it straight down with the strength of your forearm and wrist. It is required to move the knife accurately and forcefully, and chop it with one knife, not repeatedly. This knife method is used to process raw materials with small bones, such as chicken, duck, pork chops, etc.

2. Chopping: This processing method can use No. 2 splitting knife. The method of operation is to first cut the raw materials into ?? Chop with a knife at the same time, turning over the ingredients as you chop to make them even and consistent. This knife method is used to process all kinds of meat puree, fish sup, shrimp puree, etc.

3. Chopping: This knife method should first go through the process of cutting and patting, and then put the raw materials flat on the vegetable pier, and chop the coarse fibers of the raw materials with the tip of the knife. At the same time, use your left hand to close the edges, and gradually chop into the shape required by the dish, such as leaf shape, oval, etc. The purpose of chopping the crude fiber is to make the raw material not deformed due to fiber shrinkage after heating. However, if the raw materials are chopped too badly, the juice of many nutrients contained in the raw materials will also be lost, which will affect the quality of the dish. This knife method is used to process meat chops, chicken cutlets, etc.

Wrapping Rolls Wrapping rolls is also one of the traditional processing methods of Western food. The operation method is to process the raw materials into thin slices of the patting knife, spread them on the vegetable pier, and chop the coarse fibers with the tip of the knife, and also master the principle of "broken but not rotten". After chopping, still make the raw materials spread on the vegetable pier, and then put a certain shape of the filling in the center, and then use the front of the knife to wrap the raw materials from the middle of both sides, and you can wipe some water on the knife during operation to avoid sticking to the knife.

The quality requirements of the wrapping roll are: (1) beautiful appearance, in line with the shape and specifications of the dish; (2) the filling should be tightly wrapped and the filling should not be leaked when heating; (3) the raw materials should be uniform, and some parts should not be thick, and some parts should be thin, so that they cannot mature at the same time when heating.

The basic way to use knives and forks

The basic action after the dish is served is to "cut it with a knife in your right hand, and then fork it up with a fork in your left hand". Hold the left end of the dish with a fork, fix it, and cut a bite-sized piece of food with a knife along the side of the fork, and then the fork can be picked up and put into your mouth. If you want to cut food smoothly, start with your posture first! If the elbows are too high, the fork will be too angled and will stand upright, and conversely, if the elbow is too low, the cutlery will fall down, so there is no way to cut the dish properly. Relax your shoulders and wrists, keep your arms open, and keep the knife at an angle of about 15 degrees. Here are seven key points: sit upright facing the food, relax your shoulders and wrists, keep your arms close to your body, keep your elbows too high or low, tilt your knife and fork at an angled angle to your plate, hold the food tightly with a fork, and gently move the knife to use force when holding it down. In this way, not only can the food be cut easily, but the posture also looks quite elegant. There are also essentials for the way the knife moves. Start by applying pressure to the fork in your left hand, then gently move the knife. Be careful not to pull the knife back with force, but to press forward so that you can cut the food neatly.

If the elbows are too high, the angle between the knife and the fork will be too large, and the food will not be able to be cut neatly. Knives and forks should not be tilted too much. Depending on the characteristics of the dish, the fork can be freely changed to facilitate meals. When forked up, the back of the fork must be upwards, however, if it is scooped up, the fork should be used facing upwards. Unlike chopsticks, the fork can be rotated up and down depending on the characteristics of the dish to facilitate use.

You can't change the position of the utensils that have already been set, but if you're left-handed, you can swap knives and forks while eating. However, after the meal, the cutlery must be placed in the same way as a right-handed person, and the handle of the knife and fork must be placed on the plate to the right, mainly to avoid causing trouble to the service staff.

Set the table

Western food on the table

Western food table is divided into light meal table and banquet table. The table shape is generally dominated by a long platform and a waist round platform, and sometimes a round platform or a square platform is also used. The specific way of setting the table is designed according to the menu, and when a certain type of dish is eaten, the tableware that needs to be used is placed accordingly.

Western light meal table

The order of setting the table for Western light meals is to place the mat plate first, then place the dinner fork on the left side of the mat plate, and place the dinner knife on the right, with the blade facing inward, the spoon in front of the mat plate, and the bread plate facing right, and put a butter knife on the plate, with the blade facing the plate. The glass is placed in front of the spoon and arranged in the same way as in Chinese food. Fold the cloth and place it in the tray or insert it into the beer glass. The ashtray is placed outside the wine glass directly in front of the mat, the pepper and refined salt shaker are placed on the left side of the ashtray, the toothpick is placed on the left side of the pepper shaker and salt shaker, and the vase is placed in front of the ashtray.

Western banquet setting

Western banquets need to be set according to the banquet menu, and each dish must be replaced with a pair of knives and forks, usually no more than seven pieces, including three knives, three forks and a spoon, which are placed from outside to inside according to the order of serving. The specific pendulum method is:

(1) Place the mat plate as a positioning first, place the dinner fork, harpoon, and cold vegetable fork in order on the left side of the mat plate, and place the dinner knife, fish knife, and cold kitchen knife in order on the right side of the mat plate, with the blade facing left.

(2) Place the spoon in front of the spoon, and place the dim sum fork and dim sum spoon in front of the spoon.

(3) Place the bread pan on the left side of the fork, place the butter knife obliquely in the plate, and place the butter dish in front of the plate.

(4) Place water glasses, colored wine glasses, and white wine glasses in front of the dim sum fork and spoon. Fold the cloth and put it in the pad or insert it in the cup.

(5) Western banquets usually have a host, a co-host, a guest of honor, a deputy guest of honor and other accompanying persons, each with a fixed seating arrangement.

…………

After reading it, Zhou Yu deeply felt that the food culture of each place should not be underestimated, and it can only be said that it has its own strengths and weaknesses, but this Western food is indeed too cumbersome.

………………

On the other hand, Zhou Yu didn't get out of the car today, because Valentine's Day was approaching, and he had to think about how to please his girlfriend.

It just so happened that Cao Cao Gongyu arrived, and as soon as he opened the door, the two looked at each other, the atmosphere was quite ambiguous, looking at it, he suddenly stood on tiptoe and compared his height with Zhou Yu, and asked suspiciously: "Stinky brother, you seem to have grown taller." ”

Zhou Yu said helplessly: "I actually found out now that I'm a little sad." ”

Sister Yu was a little embarrassed and pulled Zhou Yu's arm and coquettishly: "Don't be angry, it's not that people don't care about your stinky brother." It's because we meet often, and you can't find it if you don't look closely. If you don't believe me, if you ask Misuzu and Ziwen, they won't find out. ”

Wang Ziwen shook his head and said: "He looks ordinary, and his altitude is average, who will care if he grows taller or not." ”

Meiling blinked and added: "Except for a little connotation, there is no sense of existence on the surface, and I am not interested in paying attention." ”

Gong Yu asked curiously, "Stinky brother, did you provoke them?"

Zhou Yu said helplessly: "Two eyeless light bulbs, still expect me to entertain them with kind words?

"Hey, hey. Gong Yu smiled: "We don't care about them." By the way, stinky brother, I also brought you a gift. ”

Zhou Yu looked at Yu Baobao's bag in surprise and asked, "There are still gifts?"

Gong Yu opened the bag, stretched out his hand and was about to turn it over, then stopped halfway, raised his head to look at Zhou Yu, and said in a daze: "Oh, where is the gift I prepared?"

At this time, Jin Nanling walked into the room from the outside and raised the painting bag in her hand: "It's here with me." ”

Yu Baobao stuck out his tongue, ran to get the painting bag, handed it to Zhou Yu, and said, "Na, this is the gift I prepared for my stinky brother." ”

"I like whatever gift you give me. Zhou Yu took it seriously in his hand and opened it cautiously to see that there were portraits of Zhou Yu inside.

In the first photo, Zhou Pleiades is fishing by the river.

In the second, Zhou Yu stood at the door smiling and beckoning.

In the third, Zhou Yu is holding a wine glass, surrounded by lavender.

Fourth, fifth......

From the first time I met and fell in love, I painted from the river fishing to the living room of Yu Baobao's house. [Friendly reminder, two days ago, Zhou Yu went to Gong Yu's house, as for the following, 100,000 words are omitted]

Each painting carries Gong Yu's affection, recording the bits and pieces of the two getting along.

The more Zhou Yu looked at it, the more moved he became, and at this moment he even had the idea of not wanting to be a local tyrant.

What do you do? What's the point?

Such a good girlfriend, shouldn't she put all the balance on her card?

Unfortunately, the timing is not right for the time being, and there is more than one light bulb in sight.

Zhou Yu gently hugged Yu Baobao in his arms, kissed her hair, and then couldn't help but kiss it again, and said softly: "Thank you! This is my favorite gift I have received in my life." ”

"Tut-tut. Nanling's sister-in-law snorted, looked at Meiling, and muttered in a low voice: "See, this is the importance of girls mastering a talent!"

Meiling rolled her eyes and asked, "What kind of talent do you have?"

Nanling's sister-in-law blinked and replied, "Do you think about driving?"

“……”

Meiling turned her head and ignored her, chatting with a woman is not as interesting as eating dog food.

Miss Gong Yu blushed, buried her face in Zhou Yu's arms shyly, hugged him and replied: "Well, it's good if you like it, people are afraid that you won't like it." ”

Zhou Yu hugged the young lady and said gently: "I like it very, very much." I want you to draw yourself into it, two people to be together, and then keep drawing, painting for the rest of your life. ”

"Okay. Sister Yu, who was holding her lover tightly, blinked, and an idea suddenly sprouted in her heart.

Before he had time to think about it, Zhou Yu took the young lady's hand and asked, "My dear, do you know what it means to have a heart?"

Gong Yu looked at Ning Zhiyuan blankly, not understanding what he meant: "What?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "The meaning of having a spirit is that one of the gifts I gave you is also a portrait. ”

……

The painting prepared by Gong Yu was drawn by her one stroke at a time.

The paintings prepared by Zhou Pleiades are typed out one by one.

He took computer courses for a long time.

Far away, the painting that the young lady saw was a big head sticker with her own pouting mouth. When I received it, I was surprised to find that the images in the painting were all composed of words.

"Hey, there are words. ”

Gong Yu was very curious to take a closer look, only to see that all the images in the painting were composed of the words "I like you!"

Gong Yu didn't know if this was romantic, anyway, he was suddenly hit by G.

Holding the painting in his arms, Yu Baobao squinted his eyes and smiled: "Thank you, stinky brother, I like this gift." ”

Zhou Yu pulled Gong Yu's soft hair, led her to the cabinet, and said, "I feel that nothing can match you, so I have to replace quality with quantity." Come, take a look at your second gift. ”

Zhou Yu took out a wooden box from the cabinet and opened it for Gong Yu to see.

"Wooden comb?"

Gong Yu blinked, but he didn't expect the second gift to be a wooden comb.

Zhou Yu nodded and said softly: "I hope that when your hair is gray, I will still be by your side and comb your hair every day." ”

Gong Yu was moved in his heart, and looked at Zhou Yu with big eyes and watery eyes: "~~......"

Zhou Yu put the wooden comb on the table next to him, raised his hand and touched Gong Yu's delicate cheek, and said with a smile: "Don't be too moved, there are still gifts you haven't seen." ”

The painting was knocked out by Zhou Yu himself, and this antique green sandalwood wooden comb was rewarded by the system.

Zhou Yu then took out a black gift box, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Guess what's in it?"

Yu Baobao put down the picture frame and asked curiously, "What is it,???"

Zhou Yu deliberately teased her: "Guess what, you promised me one thing." ”

Yu Baobao scratched his head, thinking about it, it seems that he has promised a lot of things, but it can have something to do with gifts, almost nothing.

Gong Yu pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "I can't guess." ”

Zhou Yu gave another hint: "Then I'll give you another hint, this gift is Meiling's favorite." ”

Gong Yu's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Ah, it's lipstick!"

At the same time, Meiling, who was watching the excitement, also quickly got up from the sofa, shouted out with Gong Yu, and then dragged her slippers and ran to Gong Yu's side to watch together.

Zhou Yu handed the box to Gong Yu, and then helped Gong Yu open the lid.

I saw six black tube lipsticks neatly placed in the box.

Zhou Yu said: "Do you remember what I said, I will contract your lipstick in the future, but you have to pay me back a little bit every day." Sister Yu nodded heavily, and replied with a red face: "Remember, stinky brother." ”

Meiling stared at the lipstick, turned her head and asked Gong Yu, "Xiao Yu, can I take it out and take a look?"

Gong Yu knew that Meiling liked lipstick the most, and said very generously: "Okay, you can help me try the color." ”

"Hehe, then I'm welcome. Meiling picked up a lipstick, removed the lid, turned out the pink lipstick, and gently applied it twice on the back of her hand.

After wiping it, there was no color, and Meiling applied it twice, but there was still no color.

Gong Yu and Meiling looked up at Zhou Yu at the same time.

Zhou Yu chuckled, "Taste it." ”

Gong Yu took the lipstick from Meiling's hand, first wiped her lips, then stretched out her little tongue and licked it, blinked, looked at Ning Zhiyuan and said, "Is it chocolate?"

Zhou Yu nodded, touched Sister Yu's hair, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, right?"

Gong Yu shook his head and smiled: "I thought it was really lipstick, but I also like chocolate, hehe." ”

Meiling also pursed her lips, turned to the side and said, "It's so nice, it's not lipstick." Man, tsk. ”

Zhou Yu ignored Meiling and took out another gift box and put it on the table. When I opened the lid, there were two full layers of 24 lipsticks.

These lipsticks include a number of international brands, and the shades are mainly pink and girly.

Gong Yu was surprised: "Wow, so much lipstick?"

Zhou Yu smiled: "The colors I personally chose are all colors that look good to you to paint." ”

Meiling heard the voice and ran back again, looked at the box full of lipstick, and said dumbfounded: "Dior 001, 004, this thin tube is Chanel 214." Hey, Lancôme 187 and 369, I have both ......."

Meiling pointed out the brands and colors of each lipstick, then looked up at Zhou Yu, and asked with a strange expression: "Tuhao, are you a devil?"

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment and replied, "What?"

Meiling pointed to the lipstick in the box and said, "Except for me, a senior lipstick expert, in this house, you ask Nanling to buy it, she can't pick out these shades that are suitable for Xiao Yu." So, are you the devil? You have so much research on lipstick. ”

Zhou Yu replied earnestly: "If a man gets serious, something like this is simply difficult!"

Yes, yes, the man who is stumped is because he is lazy, or his love is discounted.
