In the kitchen shed, after cleaning up the stove and chopping board, You Dasco and You Yishou had to take a break, looking at the sweaty father, You Yishou hurriedly brought the teapot to the latter and said, "Dad, you drink some water." ”

Taking the teapot handed over by his son, You Dascoo nodded with satisfaction, his son's performance today made him very satisfied, not only did he not panic but also his hands and feet were quick, and the dishes cut out were also very skillful, and he did not embarrass his old You.

"Come, son, take a sip too. You Dascoo took a sip of tea and sent the tea jar to the latter, this kid is also tired enough today.

"Hey. Taking over Daddy's teapot, You took several big sips with one hand, he was really thirsty, the weather was hot and the water loss was large, and he couldn't care about drinking water when he was busy.

"Big spoon, hard work, come and smoke a cigarette. At this time, the second father of the main family came to the kitchen shed and thanked him.

"You are polite to the second father, it should be, by the way, this is a little bit of my heart, I was busy at noon, and I didn't have time to go to the ceremony. As he spoke, You Dasco took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old man in front of him and said, "Two hundred yuan is a big gift in the countryside."

"Big spoon, what are you doing, take it back, take it back, you have saved me a lot of money by helping me take charge of the stove, I don't know how to thank you, how can I still collect your money." The old man pushed.

"Second father, you accept it, this is a little bit of the younger generation's heart, you just let me be happy. You Dascoo insisted that the exchange of courtesies is an old tradition in China, and it cannot be lost.

"Hey, what do you want me to say, go, big spoon, you two will sit down with me, and I'll let Shanshan toast you. "The old man's Shanshan is the bride who will be married tomorrow.

"Okay, then I'm welcome, one hand, you go to the kitchen and eat with your Uncle Zhao. "In the rural areas of northern Jiangsu, there is a rule that half of the eldest son does not serve at the table, as for Zhao Weiquan, he is honest, unsociable, and rarely drinks with others, which is why he gave up being a cook and only concentrated on making cold dishes.

"Why don't you let the children go to the small kitchen to eat, call all the flavors, and come over together." The old man said unhappily.

"It's okay, second father, what kind of table the child is on, you don't know what kind of person he is, I won't call him to come. You Dascoo said with a smile.

"That's okay, let Weiquan have a few more dishes, don't grieve the child. The old man instructed.

"Thank you, Second Daddy. “

······

In a few steps, You Yishou came to the small kitchen that had been emptied and converted into a cold food room, which was much cooler than the heat outside, at least there was a fan blowing.

"Uncle Zhao, let's eat something at noon. After entering the door, You Yi found a small bench and sat down and said.

"Your dad was dragged to drink again, right?" Zhao Weiquan said with a smile.

"Hmm. ”

"Uncle has left it for you, you go and get a few steamed buns and we'll have dinner." Zhao Weiquan took out a small iron basin and said, which was full of side dishes left over from the plating.

"Okay, there's still half a chicken and a whole fish left outside, I'll bring it later. You said as he stood up with one hand.

As a cook, they naturally don't have to worry about eating, and some of the leftover ingredients and leftovers are enough for them to eat, of course, there won't be too much left, after all, the main family spent money to buy, but this is inevitable, which chef dares to guarantee that the dishes made are just right and there are not many bites.

After lunch, You Yishou chatted with Zhao Weiquan.

"Uncle Zhao, your cold dish is so delicious, how can you do it, can you teach me?" You licked his face and said, Zhao Weiquan's craftsmanship is definitely master, but because of his personal personality, he doesn't like tossing very much, and yearns for a plain life, which is why he has good craftsmanship but always feels at ease as You Dascoop's deputy.

"What, you want to learn the craft from me?" Zhao Weiquan stared at You Yiyi and asked.

"Hey, yes. You Yishou said urgently, the master is in the people, and there are many people like Zhao Weiquan who have a skill in China.

"Okay, when you and Xiaohong get married, I'll pass on all the skills to you. Zhao Weiquan said with a serious expression.

"Uh. "You Yishou was embarrassed, what is this.

"Haha, I'm kidding you, you kid. Zhao Weiquan said with a laugh.

"Mixing cold dishes is very simple, the key is in the seasoning, no matter what kind of ingredients, are inseparable from the "taste", sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, fresh, hemp, one person a taste, how to prepare dishes suitable for the taste of the public, which has a lot of knowledge, first talk about your understanding of condiments. ”

You replied: "Commonly used condiments are salt, monosodium glutamate, cooking wine, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, green onions, ginger, garlic, etc., and the dried ingredients for fragrance include pepper, Sichuan pepper, dried ginger, chili, star anise (anise), cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon, cinnamon, tangerine peel, cumin, lemon leaves, mint, vanilla, cardamom, nine-layer tower, thyme, rosemary, sage, saffron, licorice, perilla, mustard, xingqu, dogwood, tamarind, etc.

"You are all in the book, the real seasoning is to be set according to the time of heaven and earth and the characteristics of the ingredients, the day refers to the climate environment, such as the humid weather in Sacheon, the local people love to eat hot pot, so the dishes are mainly spicy, which can better remove moisture; the land refers to the different ingredients and people's tastes in different regions, you can peek into one or two from the eight major cuisines in China; time is your control of the seasoning time, which is very important, it determines the final taste of the dish. But I want to say that the real condiments still come from nature, in China's deep mountains and dense forests, there are a lot of natural spices, they have a richer aroma, can make the dishes more delicious, read thousands of books is not as good as travel thousands of miles, small hands, if you want to be a good chef, you can't go out behind closed doors, to find those ingredients hidden between nature and the market, learn to make up for your shortcomings, so that you can make the taste you want. Zhao Weiquan advised.

"Well, I got it, uncle. You Yi nodded and said.

······

"Drop, the ancient Shaolin vegetable garden is open to 100,000 mountains. At this time, the system prompt suddenly sounded.

"100,000 mountains, tease me, is the vegetable garden that big? You have a black line on your head, although the vegetable garden is very large, it can't fit 100,000 mountains, but he has studied geography and wants to fool him.

"Amitabha, there are mountains outside the mountains, there are heavens outside the sky, and the vegetable garden is infinite, don't underestimate the donor. At this time, Qiuqiu suddenly appeared and said pretentiously.

"You can pull it, I don't believe it. You said disdainfully.

"The 100,000 Mountains have countless peerless ingredients, animals and plants, donors really don't need it?" Qiuqiu tempted.

"Uh, didn't fool me?" You was moved, he knew too well what good ingredients meant to a chef.

"That's it, that's it, since the donor doesn't believe in the poor ball, then I'll close it. The bastard began to tug up.

"Don't, Uncle Qiu, I believe it, I can't believe it. "You Yishou now has no resistance to the system's turnip and stick policy.

"Amitabha, good, good, since the donor is begging hard, the poor ball is reluctant to open it, but the 100,000 mountains are extremely dangerous, in order to ensure the safety of the donor's life, please also ask the donor to improve his skills as soon as possible before he can enter it. Qiuqiu said seriously.

"There's no hurry, I'll need to go in later. "You are not stupid, you are not looking for death when you go in now.

·······

"Since you want to learn seasoning, when you have time, you come to my house, and I will teach you personally. Zhao Weiquan continued.

"Okay, Uncle Zhao. You said excitedly.

When You Dasco came back after drinking, it was already past 14 o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them sat and rested in the small kitchen, and there were a few tables of dishes in the evening, which was the main family to thank the neighbors who came to help, and tomorrow's banquet was prepared for the guests of the man's family who came to pick up the relatives.
