Fortunately, after all, Cao Anbang has seen the world's old qualified chef, and after snatching the last abalone in the urn into his bowl, he finally remembered the others, turned around and said loudly: "Why are you still stunned?

With Mr. Cao's words, the others finally came back to their senses from their sluggishness, and those who were looking for bowls and chopsticks were looking for chopsticks, all wanting to taste the craftsmanship of this chef at the state banquet. Everyone seems to have been influenced by Xiao Ping and Cao Anbang, whether it is the chef in charge of the kitchen or the small vegetable washer, even Sun Lin can't help but take action, all of them gather around the big urn to grab the fun, and there is no usual sense of hierarchy, which makes the small kitchen a mess.

The only person who didn't go to join in the fun was Li Wanqing. Although she also wants to try the master's specialty dishes, she is an introvert who will never do such a thing as huddle together with a group of men to grab food. Now Li Wanqing is really a little envious of Song Lei's character, if she was here, she would definitely shout "Get out of the way of this girl!", and then rush up to grab the delicious food.

Just when Li Wanqing was secretly sighing, she suddenly felt someone patting her shoulder from behind. Startled, she hurriedly turned around, only to find Xiao Ping standing behind her.

"Hehe, Old Man Cao's craftsmanship is really good, the taste of this Buddha jumping over the wall is speechless. Xiao Ping smiled and handed the bowl in his hand to Li Wanqing and said, "Taste it, I specially grabbed two abalone for you, let's eat good things together." ”

Li Wanqing was moved by Xiao Ping in an instant, she only felt that her eyes were hot, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't even say a word. Li Wanqing could only take the bowl silently. delicately sandwiched a piece of abalone and tasted it slowly, feeling Xiao Ping's deep concern for him.

Xiao Ping didn't notice Li Wanqing's abnormality, but just said to her triumphantly: "Delicious, right? Fortunately, I started quickly, otherwise the best abalone would have been snatched away by Old Man Cao!"

"Well, it's delicious!" Li Wanqing nodded heavily, her heart already filled with happiness. At this time, she was very glad that she agreed to learn cooking from Cao Anbang, and secretly decided to make all kinds of delicious dishes, so that Xiao Ping could enjoy it to his heart's content.

Although Cao Anbang sometimes seems like a big foodie, anyone has to admit that his cooking skills are indeed superb. The smell of this Buddha jumping over the wall is simply speechless. Even the well-informed chefs ate with relish. In particular, a few chefs in charge of the chef couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and finally understood why Cao Anbang's reputation in the culinary world was so high - they would never be able to make such a delicacy.

Cao Anbang used the traditional method of making Buddha jumping over the wall, which is different from the improved method of using a small urn, but he used a large urn that can hold more than a dozen catties of materials. However, because this dish was so delicious, the large urn was quickly emptied by everyone, and there was not even a little soup and water left. Even so, the vast majority of people only tasted it, and many people who came late didn't even get the soup.

Among all of them, only Xiao Ping and Cao Anbang are exceptions. One of them is agile. When the Buddha jumped over the wall, he grabbed a big bowl, and the other was highly respected, and no one dared to rob him except Xiao Ping. Only the two of them can be considered to have eaten too much.

It took a lot of effort to make the dish of Buddha jumping over the wall, even if Li Wanqing and Sun Lin started, it took Cao Anbang most of the day. By the time everyone had wiped out the dish, it was almost dark. Xiao Ping and Cao Anbang, who were satisfied, planned to return to the farm, and Li Wanqing naturally accompanied them.

With everything that should have been eaten in his stomach, Xiao Ping began to think about what Sun Lin had said to him before. On the way back to the farm, Xiao Ping asked Cao Anbang tentatively: "Old man Cao, since the abalone is still dry, why don't you teach me how to dry the abalone?"

Cao Anbang, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes and said, "Why are you interested in this?"

"I'm not raising abalone with my friends. Xiao Ping said while driving: "If only I would dry abalone." Wouldn't it be better to sell dried abalone than fresh abalone?"

Cao Anbang nodded and said: "You have a point, but if you want to get high-quality dried abalone, you not only need to rely on exquisite abalone drying skills, but also high-quality fresh abalone. ”

Xiao Ping immediately said, "You don't have to worry about this. The quality of abalone on my farm is about the same as today's, and I raised about 4,000 this year. ”

"So much?!" At this time, even Cao Anbang was a little interested, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, since you are willing to learn, I will teach." But how much you can learn depends on your understanding. Get a few dozen abalone as soon as possible, and I'll teach you this craft!"

"No problem!" Xiao Ping simply agreed, completely ignoring the fact that the price of dozens of abalones close to two abalone was hundreds of thousands.

Of course, even if Xiao Ping considered the price of abalone, he would not hesitate to agree to Cao Anbang's request. After all, the craft of making abalone is not something that can be easily learned, let alone the opportunity to learn from a master like Old Man Cao, which cannot be measured by money.

In order to hide people's eyes, Xiao Ping left the farm the next day. When he came back at noon, he really came back with thirty or forty fresh abalone of about the same size. This batch of abalone is not close to the size of the two-headed abalone, but all of them exceed the standard of the three-headed abalone. Although three-headed abalone is not uncommon at the moment, the appearance of dozens of abalone at a time can still cause a small sensation. If you find a suitable buyer, it will not be a problem to sell this batch of abalone for 400,000 yuan.

But for Xiao Ping, this batch of abalone is just "teaching material". He opened the box containing abalone for Cao Anbang to look at, and asked him with a smile: "Old man, can you see if these abalone can be used?"

Cao Anbang was teaching Li Wanqing some tips on cooking, and after listening to Xiao Ping's words, he casually looked into the box, and his expression immediately became solemn. He raised his head and glanced at Xiao Ping deeply, and then asked word by word, "Boy, do you really plan to use these abalone to learn the craft of making abalone?"

Of course, there is a reason why Cao Anbang asked. Of course, he can see that these abalone are not only large but also of very high quality, and they can be sold at a high price in the market. Even the well-informed Cao Anbang felt that it was a pity to use these high-quality abalone to practice.

However, Xiao Ping did not have such an awareness, and nodded without hesitation: "Of course, do you see that these are enough? If they are not enough, I will take them!"

"Okay, just say this to you, I will teach you well!" Cao Anbang slapped his thigh and solemnly made a promise to Xiao Ping.

Cao Anbang is also a person who does what he says, so he immediately asked Xiao Ping to carry the box of abalone, found a place with a flat ground and good sunlight, and began to teach him how to make dried abalone.

"Making fresh abalone into dried abalone not only prolongs the storage time of the abalone, but also completely lifts out the umami flavor of the abalone. Cao Anbang picked up an abalone and said to Xiao Ping: "The superior abalone making technique can improve the quality of abalone and greatly increase the value of fresh abalone." Now I'm going to teach you the first steps of making abalone......"

Cao Anbang held an abalone and explained and demonstrated, teaching Xiao Ping how to make abalone. After listening to Cao Anbang's explanation, Xiao Ping learned that the craft of making abalone is not simple, not simply washing and drying abalone, there are many tricks and keys, no matter which step is slightly worse, the quality of the dried abalone made after the most is damaged, and the impact on its value is naturally very large.

In fact, Cao Anbang is not only a very famous chef, but also has high attainments in making abalone. It didn't take long for him to process the abalone in his hand, and while showing the processed abalone to Xiao Ping, he said: "The next thing is to dry the abalone, in the process of drying the abalone, you must always pay attention to the sun, temperature, air humidity and other factors, and dry the abalone to just the right extent." It's a step that takes a lot of experience to get it done, but I'll write it down to you over the years, and it should help you. ”

"Thank you, Old Man Cao. After listening to Cao Anbang's words, Xiao Ping sincerely thanked him.

Cao Anbang's experience in making abalone over the years is not trivial, and he said that if he is only humble, he will definitely make Xiao Ping, a novice in abalone, improve by leaps and bounds. In fact, in the abalone making industry, the most important thing is experience. Cao Anbang unreservedly passed on his experience to Xiao Ping, which also shows that although he and Xiao Ping do not have the name of master and apprentice, they have the reality of master and apprentice. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Ping thanked the old man so solemnly.

Cao Anbang also understood what Xiao Ping meant by doing this, and nodded with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, I am also willing to pass on this craft to you because you, a young man, can cultivate so many high-quality ingredients, so as not to spoil such a good material." At present, many people think that Western food is more advanced, and our traditional Chinese food seems to always be dwarf. With your ingredients and the ability of the evening girl, as long as you cooperate well, you can carry forward the craftsmanship passed down from your ancestors, and it will not be in vain for my hard work. ”

Xiao Ping realized that Cao Anbang insisted on guarding Li Wanqing as an apprentice, and also taught her the recipes, which turned out to have his own factors in it. He raised his eyebrows at Old Man Cao, and whispered triumphantly: "Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate well with Wanqing, we not only want to carry forward our cooking skills, but also cooperate to have a baby!"

"Ha Luha, you kid, you're a flamboyant guy!" Cao Anbang was amused by Xiao Ping's words: "But I like it!" (to be continued)
