Another person said, "I have been a cook for nobles, and there are several before and after." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 No matter how big the nobles are, the dining room is just a few dozen cooks. Do you think, although the mansions of the nobles are large and the number of people is large, how many masters can there be? Old lady, young master, young lady, even if you add the head of each house and room, how many can there be? The others are just some subordinate servants or guards, who don't eat finely, just a big pot of rice. It doesn't take so many dishes. I have been a few nobles, two thousand stone high-ranking officials, and dozens of cooks. ”

First, the young man was not convinced: "How many have you seen?" The village man thought that the emperor used a gold hoe to work in the field. What if we come here, it's not just an official of 2,000 stones. Not to mention anything else, there are at least five or six of them who are in the court, and there are more than ten dozen households in the city. Not to mention the princes and kings. When the prince's family eats, hundreds of cooks are still not enough. ”

The older one said disdainfully: "No matter how big an official is, how many catties of meat can be used for a meal?" How many bowls of rice? Why do you want so many people, unless it's in Weiyang Palace. The dining room designation is indispensable. I've heard old people say that there are hundreds of cooks inside. There are thousands of people who help with the kitchen. ”

Before dawn the next day, all the cooks were called. After freshening up, they all rushed to the yard. The courtyard was filled with a few small cases, each with a board.

Tianbao held the notes written by Xue Qing yesterday in his hand, and he was the right to use it as a lesson plan. Being assigned by Her Royal Highness the Princess to train chefs is sad enough. A good soldier, a guard, and a Taoist friend, this has become the teacher of New Oriental.

Tianbao picked up the stick and knocked on a few cases, and then a servant came up and distributed the ingredients, two turnips and a piece of pork per person. Tianbao looked at the table and said, "Attention, attention." Don't talk. From now on, keep your dog's eyes wide open, and do whatever I say. Whatever is taught to you, let it be remembered in your heart. ”

A group of cooks, you look at me, I look at you. I have no idea what the situation is.

Tianbao held the radish in his left hand and the pork in his right hand and said: "Cut these two things into thin strips separately, first slice them, then shreds, and cut them along the veins, you all know this." Requirements, uniform thickness, size is subject to this. You two, show them it. ”

Then two servants, each with shredded radish and shredded meat, walked over and showed each of the cooks. The cooks all had dog-beeping expressions on their faces.

Finally, a young man couldn't help but say, "I said this nobleman." This shredded radish can also be used for decoration. You can eat it when it's scalded in the soup, but the shredded meat is cut like this, how can you eat it, it doesn't matter if it's steamed, boiled, or grilled. ”

Tianbao took a stick and thumped a few cases, "Don't speak. If you have a question, I'll ask it later, and when I ask you questions later, please shut up now. ”

The other older one couldn't help but say, "This little brother." It's not impossible to cut, but if you want to cut such a thin thread, this knife is not easy to find. You may not know that the knife we usually use is a little thicker, and this has to be a particularly sharp, thinner, and larger knife to make it possible to use the cutting method, first slicing and then shredding. Where can I find such a good knife? ”

Tianbao slapped the table and said, "Shut up." Tell you not to speak. No knife will let you cut a turnip, and it won't let you bite with your teeth. Come on, bring the knife. ”

The servant brought the knife over and distributed it one by one, Tianbao said loudly: "The knife is a sharp weapon, it must be used properly, and it should be returned immediately after use. Ok ok. Get the knife and start cutting. ”

Xue Qing had already thought about it. Regardless of which of the eight major cuisines, the first thing to do is knife work. There is no other shortcut to this thing, one is that the knife is good, and the other is hard work. So early in the morning, I ordered people to prepare the civil and martial arts knives with good steel.

The older cook was holding the knife, and he saw that the shape was just right. The weight and center of gravity are all right in the hand. The edge is sharp and sharp. The entire blade is relatively thin, and importantly, it is almost a bright metallic color. That's typical steel. I couldn't help but curse secretly, which loser used such a good material to cast a kitchen knife, such a good steel, it should be used to forge weapons.

Chop chop. The first New Oriental training class of the Champion Hou Mansion has started smoothly.

Huo Quzhi vaguely heard the voice over there: "What is this knock knock doing?" If there is nothing, is it from our house? ”

Xue Qing said angrily: "It's the young eunuch, who has been dragged back, and it's the lion head you used at noon today." The young prison is full of fat and half of his body. Later, I will chop them all into minced meat, and then I will give you a lion's head. ”

Huo Qu's sick face turned green: "You mean that today's lunch is ......?"

Xue Qing glanced at her: "Tease you." Didn't you say that you were going to kill the young eunuch, and if you were like that wild boar, wouldn't you feel better if you ate his meat? Why is your face green? ”

Huo Quzhi was a little sick and said, "Don't, I won't eat lion's head in the future." ”

Xue Qing ran to the back to watch the cooks train, it was really a bit good. But thinking about it, it was still a little unreliable, so he pulled Tianbao and asked, "When you brought them in yesterday, were you ever seen?" ”

Tianbao shook his head: "No, I got it in batches, and then I pulled it back directly." Nobody knows. ”

Xue Qing pondered, this can't work. Practice knife work, talk about some theory is OK, to the actual operation, wow, hundreds of stoves at the same time to stir-fry, the smoke has to make the neighbors think that the champion Hou Mansion has a fire.

Let's send everyone out of the city in a few days, it's better over there. Just take advantage of the time of the past few days to see if there are any textbooks to be repaired, and if there is anything that can still be remembered. Pretend to instruct the cooks in practice.

I have to say that there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry. The ancient cook, he is still a cook, he is not a driver, although the way has changed, but the same is the pursuit of food. The cooks learn quickly. One click. Xue Qing also thinks this thing is very interesting, to get back a little bit of the feeling of taking classes in Tiandao, and the cooking class is not interesting, I used to watch food programs on TV for half a day, so I extended the training period of the cook in the Hou Mansion. I want to put the chef training base in the manor outside the city in the future. The manor, as a future high-end clubhouse, has not yet been built. At least in the next year. There is no need to set up a separate place specifically for training, and it is good to use the post training. (To be continued.) )
