Chapter Eighty-Six: Guidance
readx;?“ What does this mean? I don't quite understand something. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Yu Mengying was a little blindsided by Yang Fei's words, what is my problem is because I pay too much attention to every step?" Could it be that what I thought was right before was actually wrong?
"If I'm not mistaken, every step you just made was according to the recipe, right? Even the amount of each spice is put according to the standard on the recipe, right? ”
According to the other party's behavior and muttering words, Yang Fei can probably guess something, so he is also very sure when he says it.
"Yes, every step is done according to the requirements of the recipe, is there any problem with that?" Yu Mengying asked rhetorically, isn't cooking according to the requirements of the recipe?
"I think you can skillfully describe every step of the recipe of sour and hot shredded potatoes and the requirements for the amount of portions, but what about the methods of other dishes? Didn't you memorize all these things, did you? ”
This is something that Yang Fei can't figure out, a dish he picked casually, the other party can recite all the processes, Yang Fei was very surprised, the only thing that can be explained is that Yu Mengying can memorize, there may be more than this dish, sure enough, Yu Mengying's next words confirmed Yang Fei's idea.
Yu Mengying felt strange about Yang Fei's question, did she memorize the recipe, and what was the difference between the taste and the cooking herself? However, since Yang Fei asked, she didn't plan to hide anything, she still wanted to get Yang Fei's guidance, so she said very directly: "It's almost, but some complex dishes can't be so proficient, and you may need to look at the book to operate." ”
"That's the crux of your problem." Hearing that the other party's situation was the same as what he thought, Yang Fei said bluntly.
"That's my problem? Isn't it wrong to look at the recipe and cook it? Yu Mengying asked rhetorically.
"To give you the simplest example, have you ever seen two identical leaves in the world?" Seeing that the other party didn't understand his words, Yang Fei asked again.
"Nope."
"Have you ever seen two people in the world who are exactly the same?" Yang Fei asked again.
"Nope."
"You know these things, so why do you have to follow the recipe every step of the way? Look at me, when cooking, is there a seasoning like you, accurate to the spoon? It's all about to feel like it, when the dish is about to come out of the pot, taste it with chopsticks, it's not spicy enough, just put more chili, not sour enough, just put more vinegar, you say, am I right? ”
Yang Fei instilled his own concept of cooking to Yu Mengying, although he didn't think that the way he cooked was so good, but it was definitely better than Yu Mengying's way, after all, Yu Mengying's way was completely copying and copying the things in the book, it can't be said to be wrong, but it is by no means good, because the practice in the book is definitely different from reality, which is also one of the reasons why Yu Mengying's cooking is not delicious.
"What you say seems to make sense, but what should I do? Is it possible to completely abandon the steps in the recipe? Yu Mengying said thoughtfully, vaguely, she felt as if she had grasped something.
"I didn't say that you should completely abandon the things on the recipe, but you must know that it is better to believe in the book than to have no book, and it is definitely not possible to completely copy the steps on the recipe, to give a simple example, some people like to eat spicy food, no spicy food, but some people, but some people, like to eat light, like to eat sweets, if they both order hot and sour shredded potatoes, for these two kinds of guests, can you cook this dish in the same way?"
Yang Fei guided Yu Mengying, although there are some things, he said it directly, it is not impossible, but this cramming education loses the meaning of guidance, if you can use the guidance of language, let Yu Mengying herself be able to understand the joints, it will naturally be of great benefit to Yu Mengying's improvement of cooking level in the future.
"If you like spicy food, then put a little more chili? If you like sweets and light ones, then put less chili peppers and more sugar? Well, the recipe doesn't say ah, how much more chili pepper should I put and how much sugar should I put in it? Is there a specific gram requirement? Yu Mengying didn't seem to have a brain, and answered Yang Fei's question very straightforwardly.
After listening to Yu Mengying's answer, Yang Fei had the mind to hit the wall, and he was here with himself, and he wasted his tongue for a long time, all talking nonsense? It's all been said so clearly, you still don't understand? Did the Chinese teacher die early? The physical education teacher brought you a Chinese class? Yang Fei was wondering, is he suitable to guide others? Why do you feel that your words are so easy to understand?
"Have you seen martial arts novels, or martial arts movies?" Yang Fei chose to change to a simpler way.
"I've seen a little bit, what does this have to do with cooking?"
"Which martial arts masters do you see, which one of them completely copied someone else's path? Which famous hero is not the head of the family, and then take its essence, remove its dross, and finally integrate it, and finally achieve a generation of grandmasters, so you still understand what I mean? ”
"I seem to understand a little." Yu Mengying said thoughtfully.
Seeing that the other party finally understood a little, Yang Fei was deeply relieved, damn, it's not easy, it's more tiring than cooking by yourself.
"Remember, cooking, there is never a formula, nothing is immutable, secondly, you must have the courage to try, don't be limited to the method in the recipe, lock yourself in the small world of the recipe, you must be brave to come out, the way of cooking, from the recipe, is also higher than the recipe, you must know how to use it flexibly, this ideal does not work, never want to make delicious dishes."
Yang Fei made a summary statement to Yu Mengying, as for how much the other party could understand, Yang Fei didn't know.
"Yes, okay, I remember." Yu Mengying took Yang Fei's words to heart.
"Don't continue to do it, take the time to think about what I said, theory is always just a reference, and practice is the last word."
"Mr. Yang, you say, am I not suitable for cooking?" Seeing Yang Fei talking eloquently, Yu Mengying said with some deflatedness.
Yang Fei heard the loss in the other party's words, indeed, Yu Mengying, who can recite most of the cooking processes, can imagine the efforts she has made, although the methods and methods are not quite right, resulting in some gaps between what you do and what you think, and you are not recognized by others, this sense of disparity, if you are not disappointed, it is something that the gods can't do.
"Who said it, who wants to say that you are not suitable for cooking, I am the first to beat him, you who can recite so many recipes, this talent, I envy it, as long as you can figure out the difference between the process in the recipe and the actual operation, and then integrate it, if you can't become a generation of chefs, it can only mean that God is blind, so you must believe in yourself, anyway, I believe that you can become a generation of chefs."
What Yu Mengying needs most at this time is naturally encouragement, anyway, encouragement doesn't cost money, Yang Fei will encourage the other party in different ways and build up the other party's confidence, if it weren't for the fact that he said this, Yang Fei would have believed it.
Yang Fei didn't know that a few years later, Yu Mengying, who became a generation of celebrity chefs, thanked Yang Fei in her memoirs, the person who lit a bright light in her life.
"Really?" After listening to Yang Fei's words, Yu Mengying felt a little more confident and confident.
"Really!" Yang Fei said as if assuring, in fact, when he said this, Yang Fei himself was a little unconvinced, Yu Mengying can really become a generation of celebrity chefs? At least I can't see it now.
