Chapter 65: Another Talent
Old El looked at the smiling Jun Rose as if he had seen a savior.
"My lovely Chinese doll, it's so nice to have you."
As a Le Cordon Bleu chef, El has a deep skill, and this menu is completely different from the usual menus used in other French restaurants, but Chef El does not find it difficult. Perhaps, what made him feel embarrassed was which assistant Sean who disappeared from time to time?
The ingredients had already been brought in, Jun Rose was in place, and Old Er was much more relaxed.
Jun Rose glanced at the ingredients on the table, listened to the menu reported not far away, tightened her right hand, held the handle of the kitchen knife, and moved.
"Mashed potatoes, small round potatoes—"
"Tomato basil cream soup, tomato cut into eight pieces, onion, leek, garlic all thinly sliced—"
"Mayonnaise mixed vegetables, all vegetables are cut into pea-sized cubes—"
Old El shouted loudly on the side, and Jun Rose immediately obeyed the command and moved.
The French are not as good at using knives as the Chinese, they are better at mixing sauces and using heat.
As a 'house cook', even if the other party is a Le Cordon Bleu chef, she can do this job.
Jun Rose carried the knife like flying, and when she swayed, the knife and the cutting board collided and made a very rhythmic dangdang sound, and plate after plate of processed potato strips, diced vegetables were sent out from under her hands, she seemed to be a super efficient assembly line in the factory, the left hand was still a complete ingredient, and it had been broken into a pile in the right hand.
The helpers on the side stopped what they were doing and were stunned. Fast, it's so fast, people who only watch it are dazzled, and can't believe that cutting vegetables can be so beautiful, and there are still such miraculous skills in the world.
The Rose is like a human-shaped, ultra-efficient blender, and all the ingredients are cleaned with a knife. Like squeezing garlic juice, French chefs usually use a juicer to do it, and the kitchen knife in Suman's hand is horizontal, and with a hard press, it's over.
The surroundings gradually quieted down, Lao Er's voice did not come from a distance, Jun Rose's hand paused, the kitchen knife stood up, the head of the knife pointed at the cutting board, raised his head to look around, and asked, "Gone?" ”
Everyone came back to their senses, as if awakened from a long dream, and looked at the plates on the cooking table in front of Jun Rose, and gradually realized what Jun Rose had just done - she had done the work of preparing the ingredients by herself.
Old El's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jun Rose in amazement, and he praised without hesitation: "Rose, you are really amazing! Are you going to be a chef? I can teach you! ”
Jun Rose looked at Old Er in surprise and said with a smile: "No, I'm not great." We have very good chefs in China, who can use people's backs as a cutting board and chop a piece of meat into minced meat. Thank you for having me! But I'm sorry! I think my mother wants me to be a pianist, and I have to live up to your kindness! ”
Old Er shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said: "Everyone has their own dreams, my dream is to be a chef, your dream is to be a pianist, you don't need to say sorry to me." But my offer has always been valid for you! ”
After Old El finished speaking, he turned to make a dessert called Calaphti - a cherry pie.
Unlike Chinese meat pies, most of the pies in the West are sweet, and many are filled with fruits, in English, the pronunciation of the word is pie, that is, McDonald's pie with many flavors, in fact, their real name should be pie, taro pie, banana pie, pineapple pie -
Old Er carefully put the cherries fried in butter into the mold, and then made the batter - mixed salt, sugar, eggs and flour in a certain proportion, put them in the boiled milk with butter and stirred well, and poured them on top of the cherries. Finally, put it in a preheated oven over water.
Jun Rose stretched her neck and kept looking into the oven through the transparent oven door, looking at the time on average once a minute, and as the mask on her roasted hair began to exude a rich milky fragrance, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
Old Er looked at Jun Rose and smiled slightly, such Jun Rose reminded him of when he was a child, and he also stayed by the oven, waiting for the dessert made by his mother to come out.
Twenty-five minutes later, Calaferty was baked, and Old El sprinkled a layer of white frosting on the pie, and the cherry pie was done.
Old El handed her one of them, and motioned for her to taste it first.
Jun Rose looked at the booty of her success, a way of silly music, how to see how to like it.
"Mr. El, after the banquet tonight, can you teach me how to do this?"
"Of course, my Chinese doll, you have helped me a lot today! Of course, I would be happier if you could prepare something else to enrich my menu! ”
Jun Rose nodded, and after finishing the whole Carafuti, she wiped her mouth and began to look at the menu that Old Elle had drawn up.
Looking around, Jun Rose has a slight headache - in the French kitchen, in addition to meat, there are only potatoes, onions, tomatoes and so on, which is really difficult to start.
Looking at the remaining ingredients, Jun Rose chose some fish, prepared to wrap some dumplings, and then selected some mushrooms, beef, and bell peppers, and prepared to make a skewer.
The mushrooms, beef, and bell peppers are cut into long pieces, skewered one by one with bamboo skewers, and after they are roasted, some sauce is poured over them, and the color must be very beautiful.
In northern China, the dumplings to be prepared for any festival are a return gift from Jun Rose to David.
Knead the dough, put it in a semi-frozen state, use a sharp knife to enter the knife from the tail, stick to the backbone, go to the head piece, to the head of the fish, cut it longitudinally, turn it over and operate it like this, you can remove a whole backbone; Cut the two whole pieces of fish, first remove the internal organs, then remove the large spines in the abdomen, wash off the spine blood and dirt, drain the water for later use; The processed fish skin is downward, and the two sides are folded downward, you can tear off the large fish whole, directly remove the fish skin, and the small fish meat stuck to the fish skin can be spread on the cutting board and scraped off the meat with a spoon; After all the fish meat is taken, cut the flower meat into small cubes, chop the ginger into minced pieces, mix it with the fish, chop it finely, and add pepper water in the middle; Chop until the fish meat is delicate, put it out, add cooking wine, salt, monosodium glutamate, peanut oil, stir, when you feel that the chopsticks have resistance, you can add water again in batches until the consistency is satisfactory, and finally add egg white and sesame oil and stir well; Chop the coriander finely and stir gently into the filling; Take out the dough and knead it again, divide it into equal size dough, and then roll it out into a thick and uniform dumpling skin; Wrap in an appropriate amount of filling and knead into a dumpling shape; Sit in a pot and boil water, put in the dumplings after the water boils, add a little cold water after boiling, continue to cover and cook, after three o'clock and three open, the dumplings will be out of the pot!
