"You heard me right, and I didn't say it wrong. Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Doesn't Master Hong want to try fried cucumbers with only oil and salt?"

"Xiao Zhou, are you going to test my frying skills?"

After all, Chef Hong also graduated from a serious chef school, and after a little thought, he understood what Zhou Yi meant. However, he has a straightforward personality, but he is not unhappy because of this: "Cheng, then I will show my hand and let Xiao Zhou taste our craftsmanship!"

Soon, a plate of cucumbers fried with only oil and salt was placed in front of Zhou Yi, and Master Hong smiled: "Try it, Xiao Zhou, don't blame me if it's not delicious, you want to fry it like this." ”

"Hehe, it's really not very tasty"

Zhou Yi took a slice of cucumber with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it before spitting it out: "This cucumber is actually very fresh, and there is no problem with oil and salt, but Master Hong, your mastery of the heat is not enough, and the knife work is also poor, so it is not fried well!"

"What, Xiao Zhou, you said that I have a problem with firing skills and knife work?

No matter how good Master Hong's temper is, he began to be a little dissatisfied when he heard this. After all, Zhou Yi is just a young man who can eat more in his eyes, and he is not a special chef, so why criticize his cooking skills?

He regarded himself as the first spoonful in Yunshui Village, and Zhou Yi's words hurt his self-esteem.

"Okay, then I'll fry a plate of cucumbers and ask Master Hong to taste it. ”

Zhou Yi smiled slightly, took the pot and spoon, cleaned and put oil, and at the same time cut a cucumber into a cucumber slice as thin as a cicada's wings, looked at the oil temperature, and grabbed the cucumber slices and threw them into the pot.

"The knife and the technique of controlling the oil temperature"

Master Hong looked stupid. He couldn't cut out such a thin and transparent cucumber slices, even if he tried his best to cut out so many slices, it was impossible to cut a cucumber in an instant like Zhou Yi, and each slice was the same thickness and size.

This kind of knife work is what every chef dreams of but can't ask for, it is simply the legendary knife work, and it is a knife work at the level of a kitchen god!

As for the precise control of the oil temperature, Master Hong has only heard of it, but has never seen it with his own eyes, so naturally he has no ability to evaluate. But Zhou Yi's cucumber slices as soon as the pot is cooked, and suddenly there is an indescribable fragrance rising to the nose, which is exactly the effect that a chef can achieve after controlling the oil temperature in detail; if the oil temperature is a little lower, it will not force the original aroma of the cucumber, if the oil temperature is a little higher, the cucumber will be burnt, this grasp between the cents, not only depends on experience, the most important thing is talent!

"Master Hong, how about you taste it?"

Zhou Yi smiled and handed the fried cucumber to Master Hong.

"Uh, I'll taste it"

Master Hong was stunned for a moment before picking up chopsticks, picking up a piece of cucumber and putting it in his mouth.

"This, this is also delicious"

After only chewing it, Master Hong felt a 'buzz' in his head, and he was suddenly stupid.

Cucumber is the most common and common vegetable, but it can be compared to fruit! Some children and even adults like to wash a cucumber and eat it raw in their hands.

This is because cucumbers have a natural sweet flavor that is not even found in some expensive fruits. Apples, bananas, lychees, and tangerines are good fruits, but they can't replace the raw cucumber of childhood

And this plate of cucumbers fried by Zhou Yi fully amplifies the original taste of cucumbers ten times or a hundred times, and when you eat it, it is full of fragrance and makes people feel extremely refreshing.

Chef Hong has been a chef for more than ten years, and he has fried not 10,000 cucumbers but 8,000 cucumbers, but he can swear that this is the best cucumber he has ever eaten in his life!

After eating the first slice, Master Hong couldn't stop the chopsticks anymore, as if a hungry tiger pounced on food, swept a plate of fried cucumbers clean in an instant, and smacked his lips after eating, looking endless.

"Xiao Zhou, you must be a special chef!"

Master Hong glanced at Zhou Yi blankly, and grabbed his arm suddenly: "How did you do it, why did your fried cucumber taste so good, Xiao Zhou"

"Master Hong, don't get excited. ”

Zhou Yi smiled and patted his hands: "All things are born with their own unique taste, cucumbers are like this, tomatoes are like this, even if it is a green onion and a garlic, why not? What the chef has to do is not to discard this natural taste, but to give full play to them like this cucumber, if you put chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, is it still cucumber? We might as well go and eat chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, maybe it tastes better?"

"What I do is nothing more than to control the heat and volatilize the original flavor of the cucumber just right, and that's my trick. ”

Zhou Yi looked at Master Hong with a smile. 'Passing on a true sentence and falsely passing on thousands of books', he has already mentioned the point, and how much he can comprehend depends on his talent and luck.

"Natural flavor should not be discarded but should be fully utilized"

Master Hong muttered to himself as if he was obsessed, frowning for a while, scratching his head for a while, as if he had comprehended something, and as if he couldn't grasp the most important thing: "But, this heat is too difficult to control?

"By the way, Xiao Zhou, your cooking skills are so high, you can represent our village to participate in the long table banquet!"

Master Hong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiao Zhou, if you agree, I'd rather give you a hand and do a handyman!"

"Well, I'm also half of Yunshui Village, of course I won't sit idly by"

Zhou Yi smiled: "But I have one condition, Master Hong, you agreed, and I am willing to make a move." ”

"Really?"

Master Hong's eyes lit up: "Xiao Zhou, you said, I will agree to any conditions, even if I am allowed to go to the soup." These words were all heard by him listening to the book reviews on weekdays, and now they all moved out to express his determination.

"Hehe, it's not that serious. Zhou Yi said: "I only need Master Hong to keep it secret for me"

"What do you mean?" Master Hong didn't understand for a while.

"I'm a doctor at Yunshui Nursing Home, not a chef, so I don't want to attract too much attention and cause unnecessary trouble. Zhou Yi said with a smile: "So when the time comes, Master Hong, you will represent Yunshui Village to compete, and when it comes to the critical moment of fighting vegetables, I will naturally help you fight."

"Help me, how dare you" Master Hong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Xiao Zhou, you mean that you will make the dishes, but you put my name on it?

With Zhou Yi's cooking skills, as long as he is willing to make a move, the leader of this long table banquet will definitely be from Yunshui Village, and he will naturally become famous and worth twice as much. But Master Hong is a kind person after all, and he feels that this is too unfair to Zhou Yi, and he is really embarrassed to be greedy for heaven's work.

"I just want to help the village, and I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble by being famous, so I can't talk about who takes advantage of whom. Zhou Yidao: "But Master Hong, you have to keep your mouth shut, anyone comes to ask you, you are not allowed to say that I made the dishes, is it successful?"

"That's right."

Master Hong thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then Xiao Zhou, don't worry, even if I am killed, I will not say that you made the dishes!"

"A word?"

"It's a deal!"
