Chapter Twenty-Six: The Temporary Cook
"Young man, you're also a chef?" The head chef didn't care about his injuries at all, but chatted with You Yishou.
"Well, my dad and I are both cooks. You Yishou said as he drugged him.
"Oh, it's still a family of chefs, and it depends on how long you've been in this business when you're not old. The head chef was surprised.
"I have studied at New Oriental for three years and just graduated this year. You said truthfully.
"It's good, why are you going to go far away?
"Well, take a look around and learn from the strengths of a hundred schools. You put away the badger oil after taking the medicine in one hand and said, his medicine can only help the injured to relieve, and he still needs to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment after the station.
"Haha, I can't see that I have high ambitions at a young age. The latter laughed.
"Hehe, where, where, live to learn. You touched the back of his head with one hand and said embarrassedly.
"Hey, your badger oil really works, and now my hands don't hurt so much. ”
"It works, it's better to go to the hospital to have a look, it's easy to get infected in summer. You Yiyi admonished.
"Well, I don't even know how to thank you. ”
"It should. After saying that, You Yishou was ready to leave.
"Hey, young man, are you here to Chengdu?" At this time, the head chef stopped You Yishou.
"Hmm. ”
"I didn't buy a seat, so, in order to thank you for helping me with medicine, you can sit in our restaurant, I don't think it's convenient for you to carry luggage. The head chef said as he glanced at the pot on the latter's back.
"Thank you so much. You said happily that he had finally met a good person.

The head chef's name is Tu Chunming, he is in his forties this year, a native of Sichuan, most of the crew of this train are from Sichuan, the chef's injury has improved, and everyone is relieved, but a new problem has come again, only to see the conductor frowning and saying: "Master Tu, I'm afraid you can't stir-fry with this hand, but it's about to be meal time, do you want your two apprentices to go on?"
The dining car is generally a chef with two cooks, Tu Chunming naturally understands what the conductor means, but his two apprentices have just been on the train for a long time, that is, the apprentice level has no experience in the stove, and the two of them are nervous about this incident, and the dishes that are barely fried on the stove may not be satisfactory.
"Forget it, I'll do it, and use my left hand the same. Tu Chunming said.
"That's not good, you've just been injured, you can't do it, you can guide the two of them to do it," the conductor said.
"That's all there is to it. Tu Chunming said helplessly.
"Why don't I help?" You Yishou, who was standing on the side, suddenly said.
"You?
"Do you have a chef's certificate and a health certificate?
"No, non-cabin crew members are not allowed in the kitchen. ”
"Well, it's no joke. ”
······
Before You Yishou finished speaking, the restaurant service staff on the side choked up, Tu Chunming's eyes lit up but he still looked at the conductor, all actions on the train must follow the instructions of the conductor, the conductor is a middle-aged woman in her 30s, I saw her frowning and thinking about it and said, "Master Tu, what do you see?"
"I think I'll let this guy do it, I'll guide you. Tu Chunming said.
"Okay, special treatment in special circumstances, I'll take care of something happening, let's get to work. The conductor said.
······
The dishes served in the kitchen of the dining car are generally Sichuan cuisine, including fish-flavored shredded pork, kung pao chicken, boiled fish, boiled pork slices, husband and wife lung slices, spicy chicken, mapo tofu, back to the pot meat, Dongpo meat, sour and hot shredded potatoes, spicy shrimp, stir-fried beef with sharp peppers, etc., but they still mainly sell boxed lunches, and small stir-fried dishes are only a small part.
You Yiyi, who was wearing a chef's hat and an apron around his waist, was ready and waited for Tu Chunming's instructions.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang, you two fried shredded potatoes and mapo tofu, Xiao You, you come to fry back the pot meat and kung pao chicken. Tu Chunming said decisively after chatting with You Yishou about the basic skills of cooking.
"Got it, master. ”
Before going to the stove, You Yishou deliberately communicated with Qiuqiu, asking him to unload the black pot first and wait for the vegetables to be fried on his back, and finally agreed to the bastard after signing N unequal treaties, which made You Yiyi's hated teeth almost crushed, I have to say that there is no pot and a light body, and now You Yishou feels that he is floating when he walks, if it weren't for the train, he really wants to jump to see how high he can jump, and naturally he can't use his own kitchenware in other people's kitchens, so he put the black pot and luggage outside.
He didn't know how many times he practiced stir-frying back to the pot, although the Kung Pao chicken had more ingredients, it was not difficult for him, all the dishes in the kitchen were cut and matched, and he only needed to put it on the stove.
On the wok, the pot is hot and pour oil, put peppercorns and stir-fry, then pour in the meat slices and stir-fry, wait for the meat slices to roll up and set aside, leave oil in the pot, especially the green onion and ginger, tempeh and so on prepared in advance and stir-fry in the pot, after the fragrance is out, pour the meat and side dishes back into the pot and stir-fry, pour in the adjusted sauce, and then stir-fry for a while, wait until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce, especially add a little "Miluo grass" in it , Spices are only suitable for some ordinary dishes, really delicious dishes are disdainful of putting spices, completely by virtue of the fragrance of the ingredients themselves and the chef's skills to cook, especially the first-hand Baiwei box is naturally not a vulgar thing, it contains not only spices, but also top medicinal materials and spiritual grass, just take some low-level spices is enough to sublimate an ordinary home-cooked dish into deliciousness, after stir-frying again, the whole dining car kitchen was suddenly filled with an attractive fragrance, which made Tu Chunming's eyes widen on the side, how could it be so fragrant, he fried the meat back to the pot for more than ten years, but he has never sent out this fragrance, is it added to any other spices, noWhen he entered the kitchen, he could see clearly that this young man had nothing on him.
"Go back to the pot and the meat is out of the pot, Master Tu, you taste it." You said as he picked out a piece of meat with a spoon in one hand.
"Xiao You, how can your fried meat be so fragrant, is there an ancestral secret recipe?" Master Tu asked suspiciously.
"Why, it's just ordinary home-cooked food. You prevaricated with one hand.
Tu Chunming knew that a capable chef would not pass on the secret recipe, only to see him pick up a piece of meat and stuff it into his mouth, his expression changed from surprise to aftertaste to nostalgia, Tu Chunming swore that he had never eaten such a delicious back pot meat in the past 20 years from the kitchen, it was a kind of taste bud feast that touched the soul, not only has a long aftertaste but can evoke the deepest memories in people's hearts, it is so delicious that it makes people want to cry.
"It's delicious, it's so delicious, how do you do it, Xiaoyou, can you teach me." Tu Chunming said excitedly.
"Master Tu, it's really an ordinary practice, I can write you the steps if you need it. You Yishou said helplessly, he couldn't tell the latter that he had put a spice called "Miluo grass".
"Good. ”
······
The rich aroma also attracted the service staff of the dining car, who craned their necks to find out, and not only that, but the tempting aroma of the food gradually wafted to the adjacent carriages, attracting passengers to smell it.
"What kind of food does the food truck do, why is it so fragrant?
"Wow, I'm hungry when I smell it.
"Husband, it's so fragrant, people are hungry, you go buy food. ”
"It seems to be back to the pot meat, and I asked about the aroma of tempeh. ”
"No, it's meaty. ”
"Ah, my stomach is about to make a revolution
"No, I'm going to the restaurant for dinner. ”
······
Kung Pao Chicken is made of chicken breast, diced and wrapped in starch paste, then accompanied by peanuts, pepper, sugar, salt, soy sauce, cooking wine, green onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings, stir-fried by a strong fire, this dish is especially hand-picked from the Baiwei box to select a spice called "Tianzi Sesame Pepper", which is used to highlight the fragrant, numb, and spicy of the dish, and then you have fried the main dishes such as spicy chicken and fish-flavored shredded pork with one hand, which are used to match other vegetarian dishes.
Before the meal arrived, the whole dining car was crowded with people, everyone was attracted by the smell of food, and the restless crowd also triggered a domino effect, and more and more people poured to the dining car.
"Hey, don't crowd, everyone is lined up, it's not time to sell yet. The waiters in the dining car shouted loudly, but as the crowd gathered more and more, their voices were quickly drowned out.
"When are we going to sell food, we're hungry. ”
"It's like, I've been running several cars to get food. ”
"Beauty, are you inviting a chef to the dining car? ”
"After so many years of training, it's the first time I've been moved by the food made by the dining car. ”
"No, I can't stand the smell of such fragrant dishes. ”
"Don't squeeze, I'm the first to arrive. ”
······
The crowd quickly took over the restaurant, and the intercom of the train crew was non-stop.
"Conductor, the dining car is overcrowded right now, please ask the conductor to come and guide you. ”
"Roger. ”
"Conductor, the passengers in our carriage asked for a boxed lunch to be sold as soon as possible, but I couldn't persuade what to do. ”
"Received, let the passengers not worry, the dining car will serve a boxed lunch immediately. ”
