After Lao Guo took Tiancheng into the kitchen, Lao Guo said: In the future, this is your battlefield, here, you have to treat every ingredient, every kitchen utensils like your own soldiers and children, as strict as soldiers, because you have to be responsible for the dishes you make, you must strictly control, there can be no mistakes, this is like a war, no mistakes are allowed, because a small mistake, it is possible to wipe out the whole army, the same is true for dishes, if you don't understand the nature of each vegetable, you can't control the seasoning of each dish, which directly affects the future of the dish, and also affects Your future, so you must be strict with the dishes, even if it is because of a little more or less, rather throw away the dishes, can not be on the table, if on the table, then you will face layoffs, and at the same time you have to treat them like children, because some ingredients are particularly delicate, a little carelessness will destroy the essence of the ingredients, in that case, one is not beautiful, the other is that he will be more than the original essence of the dishes greatly discounted, so each ingredient should be made as carefully as a child.

Tiancheng said: Knowing Uncle Guo, I will remember what you said.

Lao Guo said: It's not a Dandan's memory, you have to remember it with your heart, look at it with your eyes, and do it with your hands, so that you can make something, even if it's bad, but if you do it, you know where you did it wrong, and you can change it.

Lao Guo looked at Tiancheng, and then said: If you want to become a good chef and make good dishes, you need to practice day and night, keep studying, and keep trying, in order to make the dishes better and better.

Tiancheng replied: I know Uncle Guo.

Lao Guo smiled and said: Tiancheng, your Uncle Wang handed you over to me, I have to take this responsibility, I can't live up to your Uncle Wang's expectations, in the future, you get up on time at five o'clock every day and then we go to buy vegetables, and when I come back, I will teach you to pick vegetables and wash vegetables.

Tiancheng agreed: Okay, Uncle Guo.

Lao Guo spread out the vegetables he bought this morning one by one and said to Tiancheng: You can start learning with this potato first.

Tiancheng asked: Uncle Guo, do you still need to learn to wash potatoes and peel potatoes?

Lao Guo asked: Can you wash? Can you cut it?

Tiancheng realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and hurriedly said: I'm sorry Uncle Guo, I was wrong.

Lao Guo smiled and said: It's okay, now I'll tell you the specifications of washing potatoes and the specifications of peeling potatoes, I'll give you a demonstration and then you can follow it.

Tiancheng replied: Okay, Uncle Guo.

Then Lao Guo picked up a potato, only to see Lao Guo pick up the potato, in the pool, open the faucet, slowly wash it, after a while, Lao Guo took the freshly washed potatoes to Tiancheng to see, and said: See, to wash like this, the old skin of the potato will be removed, and the inner layer will be scraped off a little bit, and there can be no deep scratches.

After finishing speaking, Lao Guo took a knife to cut off the potatoes, and after a while, the potatoes were cut off by Lao Guo, but the potatoes after cutting were very similar to the potatoes that were not cut, but they were smoother and more round than the potatoes that were not removed.

Lao Guo said: See, you have to wash and cut it to complete this look, ten of each.

Tiancheng promised: Okay, Uncle Guo.

Tiancheng agreed that Lao Guo would start washing the potatoes, but seeing that Lao Guo was so relaxed when he washed, and when it was Tiancheng's turn, it was so laborious, and he had to be careful when washing, and before he finished washing a few, he saw that Tiancheng's sweat had flowed out.

At this time, Lao Guo walked behind Tiancheng and said: Are you washing potatoes at this time?

Tiancheng hurriedly replied: Yes, Uncle Guo, what's wrong?

Lao Guo picked up a potato and said to Tiancheng: Look at the potato you washed, the scratches are so heavy, you are looking at the soil here, how do you let me use it?

Tiancheng replied: Uncle Guo, isn't it like this when washing potatoes?

At this time, Lao Guo said: Take a knife to cut it? Do you know why this potato is so big? Do you know why you can only scrape off so little? Do you know why you don't just use a knife to cut it?

Tiancheng replied: I don't know, Uncle Guo.

Lao Guo picked up the potatoes and said: Look at it.

After saying that, he used a knife to peel the potatoes, then cut the potatoes into thin slices and put them on the plate, looked at the scales and asked, "What do you think?"

Tiancheng said: Very good?

Uncle Guo replied: Are you sure it's good?

Tiancheng did not answer this time, but looked at Lao Guo, Lao Guo continued: Look at this potato, if it is fried like this, the first is not the same as the heat, the second is different, the maturity is different, and the third is not beautiful when it is put on the plate.

Then Lao Guo picked up another potato, washed it, and after washing, he said to Libra: Look at it.

I saw Lao Guo cut off the protruding part, and then the potatoes became rectangular, and then slice the rectangular potatoes, which still looked like a rectangle after cutting, and it was just a circle on the plate, and the interval was almost the same, Lao Guo picked up the plate and said to Tiancheng: Look at it, if you were asked to choose, which one would you choose?

Tiancheng replied: Of course it's the one you cut.

Lao Guo asked again: Why?

Tiancheng replied: Of course, it looks good at first sight.

Lao Guo smiled and said: If you know, what about others, do you think they will also know?

Tiancheng smiled and replied: Others also know, then I will continue to wash Uncle Guo.

Lao Guo said with a smile: It's okay, don't worry, wash slowly, there are many potatoes, and we can still bake and eat them after they are washed.

That's it, almost every day Tiancheng has to wash potatoes, wash potatoes for about a month, and slowly wash it almost like Lao Guo, and then Lao Guo taught Tiancheng to cut potatoes, and Tiancheng learned to cut potatoes for more than a month.

Tiancheng almost jumped up with joy, and said to Lao Guo with a smile: Thank you, Uncle Guo, thank you for so many days, and you don't get tired of teaching me.

Lao Guo knew that he was even happier, Lao Guo said: As long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you everything, and how are you riding on a motorcycle?

Tiancheng said: It's okay, I can go on the road.

Lao Guo continued: Then tomorrow you will go grocery shopping with me on a motorcycle.

Tiancheng replied: Okay, Uncle Guo.

During Tiancheng's learning to wash potatoes and peel potatoes, Lao Guo also taught Tiancheng how to ride a motorcycle, Lao Guo still had nothing to do, so he took Tiancheng's cut potatoes to Uncle Wang to bake, and slowly Uncle Wang saw that the potatoes sent to him were getting fewer and fewer, and Uncle Wang knew that Tiancheng had learned almost, so the potatoes sent were getting less and less.
