Chapter 41: Epiphany! Chef level has been greatly improved
Maybe it's because Sister Potato has french fries more often, and her cooking skills seem to be more exquisite, so this plate of french fries was quickly swept away by my mother. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing that his cooking skills, or the cooking skills of his contract cooks, were recognized, Hu Weifang felt a heartfelt joy.
When he conveyed the news to the potato sisters, the two little girls were very happy. Even the wheat lady, who was ordered by the doctor not to materialize wheat in the near future, became eager to try it, clamoring to open the fire to show her cooking skills.
Looking at the three little Loli dancing in the dimensional kitchen, Hu Weifang said in his heart, this is so beautiful that the snot is about to bubble?
He scanned around the miniature kitchen model and found that the package he had brought back had not been opened, but had just been placed quietly at the door. If they see the gifts inside, I don't know how excited these three little girls will be.
People are actually like this, if they get a positive incentive to do something, they will continue to be attracted to continue to strengthen this action, and his few ingredients are like this, why is he not like this?
Therefore, after making up some summer vacation homework a little at night, Hu Weifang, who was sleepy, went to bed early. As for Mianmian, he had to use the spare carrot key to tear open the space-time crack and smuggle in. It thought about it for a while, and probably went after a while, anyway, Hu Weifang came up to give gifts, and he didn't immediately go in to practice cooking.
"Well, this is a gift for you." Hu Weifang first carried the pomp into the kitchen, and demonstrated its use to the potato sisters, at least, they finally didn't have to stand or lie on their sides.
"Mai Mai, it's definitely impossible to be without you," Hu Weifang took out a special anti-scald and anti-slip glove from his pocket, "Although you haven't started cooking yet, I guess it's necessary to use a steamer when the time comes." ”
Seeing that Hu Weifang brought Mai Mai to use such kitchen supplies, the potato sisters who were born with the genes of a chef were a little lost: "Chef, you favor one over the other, why do you bring Mai Mai what you can use for cooking, and what you give me and my sister is things for rest?" We want kitchenware too! ”
"This ......" Hu Weifang really didn't expect that this difference could still produce jealousy, it stands to reason that their saddles are obviously bigger and more expensive, and the value of satisfaction points is much higher than that of gloves, but the Indian Loli just don't appreciate it.
"Look at it, the satisfaction point of this flower is much higher than that of gloves, I feel sorry for you are usually too tired, so I ......"
"Not tired, not tired!" Sister Potato hurriedly waved her hand, "We also hope that the chef can find more diners, so that we can try to break through the limit of the amount of materialized ingredients we can use every day." ”
"That's it, the gift is a little expensive, it doesn't mean that it's a particularly good gift, you give us something that can quickly grow up our cooking skills, or something that can be used for cooking, we will grow up in the future, and the satisfaction point of earning is not more?"
The ingredient lady can be so empathetic, which Hu Weifang really didn't expect. The consciousness of the ingredient Niang mentioned last time is far beyond the rhythm of her own efforts. However, I have to find a way to solve the dilemma in front of me. What did you promise to give them next time?
Yes, Hu Weifang suddenly thought of the potato peeling artifact that his mother demonstrated to himself in the kitchen. Isn't Sister Potato always afraid to cut potatoes for fear of being scratched by a knife, with that special tool, wouldn't this problem be solved, and she can also handle potato ingredients alone? Although Mai Mai taught her how to use a knife last time, it would not be more convenient than this special handling tool.
"Haha, I've figured out what to give you next time, a special melon skin knife for peeling potatoes and melon peels."
Hu Weifang originally thought that after he finished talking about this thing, he must have made the two potato loli very happy, but he didn't expect that they were a little bit eager to say and stopped, hesitating, and Hu Weifang was puzzled.
"Why, you don't like this gift?"
"It's not that we don't like it, it's just that we're not sure if this kind of thing is good or not." Sister Tudou spoke in a very small voice, Hu Weifang had to be very close to hear clearly, he simply squatted down, put his left and right hands on his sister's shoulders and sister's shoulders respectively, and did not dare to favor one over the other.
Sister Potato saw that her sister didn't want to say much, so she explained: "That's the case, there has always been a vague debate in the chef world, or it can also be extended to the industry standards of our food mothers, that is, tool flow and non-tool flow. ”
"Toolflow? Non-tool flows? ”
"To put it bluntly, it's about whether or not to use those modern cooking tools to assist the chef's work. In fact, there is less debate about this matter in the West, because they like to catch up with the new trends and use all kinds of innovative inventions, but in Chinese cuisine, the two views are very divided. One of them advocates the use of the latest tools, such as the sous-vide cooking method used in many three-Michelin-starred restaurants now, in which vacuum extraction equipment and cryopreservation equipment are very popular; The other advocates that cooking needs to be done by hand, from the processing of ingredients, such as peeling plants and scraping the scales of fish, etc., to do it yourself, and some people even say that a good chef can go all over the world with a knife and carry all the needs of food processing. ”
"In other words, the debate over whether to use modern tools or not?"
"Yes, you are like the head chef you just said, that kind of special melon skin knife, in the eyes of the West, may be a very normal cooking aid, they also have a special tool for squeezing lemons, a special tool for drying vegetables, etc., but in the eyes of many kinds of cuisine factions, it is a tricky and opportunistic method. For example, potato peels can also be cut with ordinary knives, machines or special equipment, isn't it a foul? Isn't that cheating? ”
Not to mention, this incident really triggered Hu Weifang's short thinking at the beginning, but soon, he realized that he was also led into a misunderstanding by those people.
Isn't the development of human beings the progress of science and technology and the iterative updating of tools? If you follow the old-fashioned thinking, shouldn't you use an electric oven, a microwave oven, or even a natural gas stove? Should a large earthen stove or firewood be used to light the hay to be considered an authentic kitchen fire?
This kind of conservatism, or the use of tradition, is not useless, but in the vast majority of cases it is unnecessary. Only a small number of special flavor preparation methods need to be truly matched with the original extensive materials to achieve the corresponding delicious effect.
For example, if you want the feeling of red willow kebabs, and you want the smell of mutton with a faint woody aroma, you have to use real red willow branches to trim and then wear the meat, and then grill it. Alternatively, when the chicken is stewed with mushrooms, it is likely to be more suitable and flavorful when it is made in a large clay oven of the farmhouse.
However, it is not necessary to stir up a home-cooked small stir-fry and engage in retro. Unless, you old-fashioned beginners, don't go online, don't watch 3D movies, don't use chat tools to communicate, isn't that a truth?
It's like the transition between a cold weapon and a hot weapon, where you know that there is a more powerful musket to use, but you still have to rush over with an iron sword to look at people, and you can only die on the way to the charge.
As the tools of production evolve, so does the thinking of using them. This is a truth that Hu Weifang figured out in just a few dozen seconds. Gourmets, what they want to pursue is the ultimate in taste, the possibility of innovation, and if they give up the use of various new cooking tools such as cooking machines, they will lose many possibilities to move forward.
"Yes, of course! How can you cheat by using a dedicated device? Isn't it because humans can evolve from monkeys because they can use tools, sharpen their own sharp energy, and hunt more powerful creatures? Hu Weifang looked at Sister Potato with firm eyes, and then glanced at Mai Niang, who was also contemplative on the side, "Not to mention special peeling tools, even some other modern cooking equipment and materials, such as tin foil, iron plates, etc., were not invented later?" Isn't the sizzling beef tenderloin a famous dish? Isn't tin foil sea bass necessarily not as tasty as steamed sea bass? Don't be limited by the rules, except for the classic dishes that really require us to cook in the ancient way, the rest will not matter! ”
After Hu Weifang finished his generous speech, he suddenly found that the Law of the Universe M had actually sent a message to himself: "Congratulations on completing the epiphany of the ground level chef - the identification of tools, the chef's grade has been improved by two grades, and the chef has jumped from the ninth rank of the human level to the seventh grade of the human level." Unlock a bedroom, unlock a bathroom, buy a range hood at half price, and buy a bathtub at half price. ”
This, the upgrade came so suddenly, Hu Weifang didn't react!
