Chapter 7 It's a pleasure to be on the stove
"Hey, White, what about you? Which do you think is better? Separated by several people, Vanilla, who was picking vegetables, suddenly found a few people around him, and Bai Ko didn't speak.
"Me? Doesn't matter. Bai Ko slashed a cross knife for a basket of mushrooms in front of him with his hands and feet, "Our master in Suyuan has taught a lot of new dishes. ”
"So you want to play freely?" There was something sour in Vanilla's tone.
"You want to specify a topic? What's the difference between that and our first two rounds of light exams? It takes a month to practice the practice of cooking a dish, and when the time comes, twenty-four plates of exactly the same dish are put on the table, and they all taste the same? ”
"Tsk, too." Someone immediately agreed with Whiteko.
"It's as if if you're free to play and you'll be able to succeed." The voice of a young man who changed his voice sounded behind Bai Ko.
"After a few years of studying art, I still don't trust my craft? Change careers as soon as possible. Bai Ko didn't look back at all, and threw out the mushroom with the knife in his hand, and landed exactly into the dustpan next to him.
"Bai Ko is right, we are all selected from the best, and we should believe in the skills we have trained for many years."
There was suddenly a figure by the well, and Hongsu, who had a paralyzed face at a young age, came to wash it with a dustpan peeled round melon, and I don't know how long she listened to it on the side.
"So, red pigment also supports free play?" Vanilla raised her head high.
"Mr. Wen said, in the assessment of basic skills, everyone's scores are actually very close, and whoever ranks behind is not convinced, and now the eldest lady has given us the opportunity to go to the stove, and only free play can open the score." Hongsu said coldly, and threw the bucket into the well, "Now the top six, who knows if it will fall behind." ”
Everyone was silent, but their minds were quickly recalling the various recipes they had learned.
Before starting to cook lunch, Manager Wen announced a new order, the kitchen was open to the apprentices, but they could only practice their cooking skills with ready-made ingredients when the kitchen was free.
The apprentices cheered and worked much harder than usual.
As soon as lunch time was over, the kitchen was cleaned up, no one wanted to rest, the two kitchens of the red case and the white case were all occupied by the apprentices, and the sound of quarrels over ingredients came and went, and the boys relied on their strength to press the girls everywhere, and the quarrel was about to escalate.
When Bai Ko saw that the kitchen was in such a mess, she patted her ass and went back to take a nap.
When she took a nap and returned to the red kitchen, the others had almost finished their preliminary preparations, the food was on the stove or in the steaming drawer, and the food rack and spice cabinet and long table board were empty.
Lu Doudou was arguing with someone about the stove, she got the stove first, but a girl deliberately withdrew her fire, trying to drive her off the stove, the two quarreled louder and louder, pushing each other, and seeing that they were about to fight.
"Okay, girls, it's over after a few sentences, and we want to fight outside, Mr. Wen is waiting for everyone to find out their mistakes."
Bai Ko dangled in front of the ingredient rack, pretending to say something casually, but the two who quarreled immediately died down, and Lu Doudou snatched back her stove and rekindled the stove that was about to go out.
Lu Doudou fried a pork liver on a high heat, and when he turned around and put down the plate, he saw that Bai Ko had already prepared her ingredients, waiting for her to empty the stove.
"Do you want to add firewood?" Lu Doudou immediately closed his legs and gave way.
"Okay, I'm going to make a fire."
Bai Ko said, put the steamer in his hand on the fire, and Lu Doudou went to fetch a few new firewood and put it into the stove.
The steamer is empty, and you have to wait for the water to boil before putting the ingredients, so take advantage of this time to cut the pumpkin in front of the cutting board.
The small pumpkin is peeled, seeded, washed, and cut into strips, and there are a few raw salted eggs on the side, and the preparation is complete.
The water boiled quickly on the stove, and Bai Ko put the pumpkin on a plate, then buckled a plate, and put it into the pot with a piece of salted eggs to steam, and it was fully cooked in about a quarter of an hour, and then took it out and put it on the table to cool.
Throw the salted egg into cold water and soak it for a while, take it out in half after it is cold, pick out the egg yolk and crush it, pinch a few shallots, wash and chop them, and then concentrate on dealing with the pumpkin strips to let it cool quickly.
"Do you want to use a wok? I just washed this pot for you to use, right? Lu Doudou put her stir-fried pork liver in Bai Ko's hand, held the pot she used earlier and said.
"Okay, thank you."
After a while, Lu Doudou came back with a clean pot, but she didn't put it down, she kept holding it in her hand, for fear that others would come to grab it, but fortunately, there was no shortage of all kinds of pots in the kitchen, and no one had to grab it from her hand.
"Is there too much time? It's almost time for an afternoon snack. Lu Doudou picked up a piece of her fried pork liver with chopsticks and fed it to Bai Ko's mouth, and then took a few mouthfuls of food from other people's plates, tasting each other's craftsmanship.
"Which stove still has a fire?" Bai Ko touched the pumpkin strips and felt that the temperature was about the same.
"Here's one." Wan Qiu pouted at the stove beside her, stretched out her chopsticks and took a bite from someone else's plate.
Bai Ko immediately walked over, put down the pot, spread a little base oil, put the salted egg yolk and some accessories into the pot and stir-fry, then poured down the pumpkin strips, stir-fried the pot a few times, so that the pumpkin strips were all stained with salted egg yolks, and sprinkled with shallots.
Baked pumpkin with salted egg yolk, the sweet pumpkin is the fragrance of salted egg yolk on the surface, and everyone eats it all up quickly with a few chopsticks.
——
At the end of the practice time, everyone cleaned up the kitchen together, just in time for the cooks to come over and make afternoon snacks.
Because they were allowed to enter the kitchen, the apprentices had no one to rest, but they all stood by and watched the cooks learn some delicate snacks that they had not learned in the workshop.
Bai Ko knew what they planned to do when she watched how they prepared the ingredients on the side, although the style was not surprising in her eyes, but the flower mold she used made her secretly admire, worthy of the Yeguo Mansion, that is, the atmosphere, the flower mold was actually silver.
This beautiful flower mold was enough to make Bai Ko stick to the steamer on the dim sum, and then everyone dispersed, she pulled Lu Doudou out of the corner door quietly again, and sat on the door pier to rest.
I've been standing since I started practicing in the kitchen, and I've had to sit for a while.
Lu Doudou took out her salted egg yolk baked pumpkin from her arms and ate them one by one.
"Bai Ko, your craftsmanship is quite good, no wonder you are very confident in free play. Hey, why don't you hold it in your hand and not eat it? Want to save it for a late-night snack? ”
"Keep it for someone else."
"Who?" Lu Doudou was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, and immediately lowered his voice, "Oh, that little brother." Do you think he'll come again? ”
"If he doesn't come, I'll keep it for supper."
"If he comes, you're going to give him this as a thank you?"
"He must have thought that I was boasting about Haikou that day, and I had to prove to him that I was not just talking nonsense."
Lu Doudou immediately wrapped the baked pumpkin she had leftover, "Then I won't eat it, if you give it away, and I keep it for supper." ”
"Just a few pumpkin sticks, you can eat it if you like."
Bai Ko's mouth was disdainful, but his face was smiling happily.
