Chapter 35: The Eight Honbang Dishes
(Recommended ticket, that thing can't be left overnight, keep Gaha?)
Teacher Lan took the chalk and wrote the four words of the eight major cuisines on the blackboard, and then wrote down the eight characters of Luchuan, Yuegong, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Xianghui, and drew a circle on the side, and wrote the words "palace" in it.
"The so-called cuisine is the local cuisine, that is, the popular cuisine of a region. The eight major cuisines are divided into salty and sweet, sour and spicy according to taste, we are Chinese, it is too big, in the past, there was no difference between going out and sending it to death, it was all risking life. Why did the ancients attach so much importance to friendship and parting? Once they break up, they don't know if they can see each other again, and they can't go out without the courage to die. At the same time, only this condition can give birth to a variety of diets and tastes, as modern people, we should remember our ancestors when we eat, and thank the backwardness of the past. ”
"The taste of the cuisine here is the basic taste, which is the main taste of a region, not that the people of Ludong only eat salty, and the people of Suwan only eat sweet, no. Like Min Jian people also eat spicy, Sichuan Shu people also eat sweet, don't have a tendon at this point, then I can't teach you, we will definitely have to fight. Stupid people can't learn to cook, the first condition for being a chef is to have a smart head, study diligently, memorize, and draw inferences, otherwise you will be a cook. ”
"Teacher, are you fighting too?" Someone in the first row coaxed, and Teacher Lan was not angry, he smiled and pulled the part of the hair that was scattered to cover the top, looked at the classmate and said: "The teacher is also young, and he has never fought, so he is embarrassed to call the Northeast gentlemen?" Let me tell you, when I was in college, I was also a handsome guy in the eyes of female classmates, and a thorn in the eyes of teachers. Why didn't I, a college student, become a cadre and become a chef? Let me tell you, it was the recommendation letter from the school that smeared me, saying that I was fighting and scolding people all day long, and the students didn't do anything they should have done, and they did everything they shouldn't have done. So I became a chef, to tell you, the total number of chefs in the country, I have the highest education, which is also quite awesome to tell you, the general master teaches me to think for a few days, and the pressure is greater than mine. ”
The audience burst into laughter. In 90 years, the compulsion of college students was quite high, and what Mr. Lan said was also true.
"Moreover, among my classmates, I have the best relationship with all my classmates now, the deputy mayor is also good with me, the deputy district mayor is also good with me, and the director of the street office is still good with me, why? There is no competition, and I am such a famous chef, I can help with all the big and small things in the family, and I have face, which is also an advantage, the advantage of the industry, you slowly understand. ”
"No further ado. Let's talk about the food. ”
"So how do you distinguish between the various cuisines? To be honest, you don't understand or remember what I'm talking about now. This depends on time to grind, you have been in the industry for a long time, and when you work to a certain extent, you will naturally figure it out. Here's a quick run, you just have an image. Our Liaodong piece, now called Liaocai, is actually putting gold on his face. Because of historical reasons, the population composition of our Northeast is relatively mixed, and there are people everywhere in the country, and we have slowly integrated some of the characteristics of other local cuisines, but in the final analysis, we are also a branch of Lu cuisine, and the main technical methods are to take the road of Lu cuisine. ”
"Then we know Lu cuisine, that is, thick sauce and salty fresh. On this basis, when you stir-fry, grab the peppercorns and put them in it, and your tongue will be numb, which is Sichuan cuisine. If you don't put peppercorns, put a big spoonful of sugar, and the sweet ones are straight to the mouth, that is Subang cuisine, if you don't put peppercorns, you don't put sugar, you put spicy seeds, and it hurts for a month, that is Hunan cuisine. That's probably what it means. It is estimated that most of you have been mixed in Liaodong in this life, just understand what is going on. ”
The students below laughed again, and after talking for a long time, everyone was attentive, and none of them deserted.
"However, if you want to be famous, if you want to become a chef, then you have to be careful, our country's current chef examination system, you have to be good at two cuisines, understand three or four, special three you have to be fine with more than three, special two or eight dishes you have to make all like locals, not to mention the special one, not only all domestic cuisines have to be proficient, but also have to create, you have to be able to make dishes that are recognized by the domestic chef world. There are also masters above, that must be internationally famous, there are quite few people in our country who have done this, full of calculations, even the two who died last year are counted, no more than ten people, it is estimated that you don't think about it in this life, or be honest and earn a little money. I can't even think about it, you're better than me?"
"There are many old sayings in China, what church apprentices starve to death of masters, what to pass on men to women and so on, some old people would rather bring them into coffins than leave their skills behind, why? Because in the past, in ancient times, technical work was low-class, and there was no social status, so you had to rely on this skill to support your family to maintain your status and dignity. What time is it now? In the new era, the world has changed, what is the social status of people who have crafts now? Right? You say that these old principles are still guarding Gaha? So we have to be flexible, we have to keep pace with the times, so that we can make progress. ”
"It was not easy for me to apprentice back then, like you now, pay a thousand yuan, and sit here, we have to tell you and teach you by hand. At that time, we had to spend some effort just to find a master, and we didn't have to be able to become a master if we could do a good job, but we had to be able to teach. Do you understand? There are very few people like me who can go to the podium and get off the kitchen in the craft industry, why don't you believe it? I told you that I will be a teacher for you on the stall, and you will be beautiful. ”
"At that time, the work was not well assigned, and I couldn't ask for people, mainly because the files were too dark, don't laugh, who didn't fight and didn't scold people before they were young? Later, there was an opportunity to enter the canteen, but you had to have a chef's license. I thought to myself, let's learn, we're so smart, right? The university has taken it down, and I still can't figure out this pot and pan?"
"At that time, there was no cooking school, and the government had training courses, but we couldn't get into it only for those who were on the job, or those who were in the thick of their roots. What should I do? I can only worship a teacher, and I have to worship a famous teacher. I thought at the time, in our Liaodong, the most famous is Liu Jingxian, but he is a few years younger than me, which is also a face, I will focus on his father, although the old man is older, but he is more famous, that is the master. ”
"I went with a few boxes of fruit, but they didn't accept it. What's the matter? Cheeky grinding. I went every day, went to work when I entered the house, and at first I cleaned up the house and mopped the floor, and then I rushed to get the cooking. At that time, I didn't know anything, and I felt uncomfortable watching the food that was cooked. But I can hold on and pretend to make it myself, haha. ”
"Hahaha," the students laughed.
