Chapter Fifty-Eight: Bad Meat (I)
Liu Yiyi calculated in her heart, Du Shaonan also ate the food she cooked by herself four times, how could there be five times?
"Miss Liu forgot? Another time was the 100-fruit cake you gave to my grandmother on her birthday. Du Shaonan reminded with a smile that he likes to eat, so he will not be mistaken about delicious food.
"It turns out that Young Master Du also ate that dim sum!" Liu Yiyi remembered, it was true that Du Shaonan tasted it first at the banquet, and then handed Lin Yuxiao a piece, she really forgot that there was this one, because that day she was concerned about Lin Yuxiao's mate selection criteria, and now when she mentioned it, she suddenly thought that Du Shaonan helped her at the birthday banquet.
She calculated in her heart, how did Du Shaonan know that what she missed was the time when she missed the Baiguoti Pulp Cake? And he actually remembered eating a total of five times what she made with his own hands, he remembered it so clearly, did he really ...... to her? Therefore, when the Liu family was in danger, they took the initiative to ask for relatives......
It's not "I ate it too". Du Shaonan corrected in his heart, in fact, the congratulatory gifts sent by the squires of Mengzhou City at the birthday banquet that day, Mrs. Li didn't like it, the gold and silver were collected in the large treasury and prepared to be used in the future, and the dim sum was distributed to the next person at that time.
Liu Yiyi's own handmade Baiguo Pulp Cake could not have escaped such a fate, but coincidentally, it was distributed to Du Quanzhong, and then Lin Yuxiao opened his mouth first and exchanged it for a piece of jade pendant!
In fact, after tasting it at the banquet, Du Shaonan felt that this dim sum tasted good, but he was embarrassed to eat it all right away, and planned to take it later, who knew that Lin Yuxiao was much thicker than him!
Because of this episode, Du Shaonan remembered the Baiguo Cake Cake, but this episode was embarrassed to say to Liu Yiyiming, who can be happy if the dim sum carefully prepared by the owner is treated like this by the owner?
"Brother Liu Xian will come with me to see the kitchen here, how about it?" Du Shaonan got up again.
"Okay." This is Liu Yiyi's strong point.
Go downstairs to the back yard, the whole yard belongs to the kitchen, and is divided into three parts, one part is the warehouse, and the purchased ingredients are stored separately; The other part is the washing area, and the other part is the kitchen dedicated to cooking.
The fish, vegetables and meat needed in the kitchen are picked up in the warehouse, and the cleaning area is cleaned by a special person, and the cleaned fruits, vegetables and meat are also sent to the kitchen in a single dress.
"Everything else is easy to get, but this literate person is not easy to find, everyone I know here is one hundred and eight crosses, and the salary is higher than others, so I can't find enough people, especially the aunts and aunts in the cleaning area, and then I can only think of some alternative tricks......" Du Shaonan flipped a list and showed it to Liu Yiyi, there were no words written on it, but a few fruits were drawn, and a red handprint was pressed.
"Drawing? This fruit is okay to say, what if it is rice and millet beans? Draw them one by one? Liu Yiyi looked funny.
"Rice, millet ......" Du Shaonan really found two more lists, one painted a few big grains of rice, and the other drew a few small grains of rice, "The rice and millet beans you said are indispensable in the kitchen, anyway, the guests will not only eat a few grains of rice and beans, I have a piece of paper here is a catty, as for the beans are distinguished by color, the red ones are of course red beans, the green ones are mung beans, a pound of rice produces a few bowls of rice, and a pound of beans produces how many bean paste, this chef will calculate it, and then I will calculate the profit from the cost......"
Du Shaonan said and took Liu Yiyi to the kitchen, but as soon as he entered with his front foot, the kitchen knife in the hand of someone inside waved to the door: "Stop!" ”
Du Shaonan retracted his feet stupidly, and said haha: "It's not so strict, I'm the boss, Xiao Tang pay attention to the kitchen knife in your hand, you must hold it, don't be a flying knife ......" You are Xiao Tang, not Xiao Li, the second half of this sentence Du Shaonan swallowed back when he saw the opportunity, and there is a "fellow villager" by his side.
The one named Xiao Tang is also a young man of seventeen or eighteen, his eyebrows and eyes are extremely handsome, and he is pretty to the extent of being gorgeous, which gives people a feeling of burning fire, especially when he is holding a kitchen knife at the kitchen door, which makes people feel that he is not good at stubble.
Du Shaonan took a step back: "I said Xiao Tang, let's discuss, can you put the knife down and talk again?" ”
"I'm busy! And it's not that you said that you will open tomorrow, I am here to train people for you, if you don't want to open it, of course I have no opinion, anyway, I was on vacation and was pulled by you......" Xiao Tang said and threw the kitchen knife back, and then untied his apron.
Liu Yiyi looked at it from the side, can kitchen knives be thrown around!? What's more, there are a lot of people walking around in the kitchen, and one of them will not die if they are not careful!? As a result, before she could exclaim, she saw the kitchen knife fly into a parabola and steadily enter the knife holder on a table one meter away on the left.
No one in the kitchen was surprised by the flying knife, and Du Shaonan at the door only stopped Xiao Tang from letting him take off his apron: "I said please help, don't say leave easily if you agree, I didn't come here today to trouble you, I just brought a person, and he is also an expert in this area, brainstorming." ”
Hearing him say this, Xiao Tang put his eyes on the person brought by Du Shaonan, but he frowned again when he saw it, this little boy in white clothes who can't help but be windy this month, his eyebrows are too thin and his face is too soft, and the blind man will think she is a man!
Knowing that he would be recognized, Du Shaonan didn't intend to hide it from his friends anyway, so he smiled frankly: "People can't be disguised." ”
That's it, anyway, you want to dress up as a man, Xiao Tang doesn't avoid the defense of men and women, and looks at Liu Yiyi calmly: "Connoisseur? Are you also proficient in cooking? ”
People don't ask "know" but "proficient", Liu Yiyi is not too modest, and after organizing the words, he said: "It's okay, I can cook ordinary dishes, and people who have eaten it are full of praise." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Tang was interested, looked down at her hand, and suddenly stopped smiling, "You have only been holding a kitchen knife for half a year, if you want to say that you like to cook, I believe it, if you want to say that you are ......an expert, you can produce a top master in half a year, then he doesn't have to mix in this world, and he will be reincarnated immediately."
What a connoisseur! Liu Yiyi was in awe, the original owner of this body didn't know how to cook at all, and she had only been here for half a year!
Sure enough, it was half a year. Du Shaonan was also sure, and felt that it was right to bring Liu Yiyi this time, so he deliberately smiled: "Xiao Tang, don't think that there is no genius in this world, you sharpen a kitchen knife for ten years, and people can know how to cook in half a year." ”
"Know everything?" Xiao Tang was really unconvinced, "Then I have to ask, how many ways are there for cooking?" ”
This is not to ask him, Du Shaonan looked at Liu Yiyi with a smile.
This is a compulsory topic for her older generation to learn cooking, "Cooking methods are roughly divided into simmering, shabu-shabu, boiling, and stewing; stew, stew, simmer; boiling, burning, grilling; frying, slipping, exploding, stir-frying, cooking; frying, collapsing, pasting; Steam; roasted, salted, simmered, smoked; marinade, sauce, mixing, boiling, pickling; Drawing silk, hanging frost, honey; Serve. ”
Xiao Tang calculated in his heart, it was really these kinds, and no one said anything about it, and according to his own experience, he didn't do everything several times, how could he remember it, but the cocoons on her hands were too thin, wouldn't she have practiced day and night for half a year, could it be a real genius?
Du Shaonan smiled secretly in his heart, no matter how good Xiao Tang's cooking skills are, there are limitations in his knowledge, this ancient cooking is a master with an apprentice, teaching the same and learning the same, the skill is not passed on, and it will not be taught if it is not taught; Modern schools are different, where books are combined with practice, which means that you have memorized the operating procedures before you even start working.
It won't be wrong, this crossing girl came out of a regular school to learn to cook, because amateur gourmets don't memorize cooking methods like she does - only those who have taken the test understand this and understand it.
"That's it, then let me ask you again, what kind of dishes are you good at, and what is the difference between northern and southern cuisines?" Xiao Tang put away his attitude of looking down and asked.
This problem is much more difficult than the previous one, because the area here is bounded by the river, Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, the emperor's capital is in Jiangdong, the name Haojing, and the southwest of Lu Tingqi's origin refers to the west of Jiangnan.
Liu Yiyi's previous life was taught by the school, and he was comprehensive in natural science, Beijing cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, and Hunan cuisine...... She will cook a few famous dishes of each, but Beijing, Sichuan, Shandong, and Guangdong are Jiangdong or Jiangxi in this world? Jiangnan or Jiangbei?
Which of the first-timed and geography-savvy seniors could draw two maps for her to compare?
It seems that she is the only one here, Liu Yiyi didn't dare to open her mouth to Xiao Tang's question, and organized the next words in her heart before answering: "I am a native of Mengzhou City, I have never been to other places, and the dishes I cook are in line with the taste of the locals, and they are mainly fresh and crisp." ”
Fresh and crisp is the main dish of Zhejiang cuisine, if you look at it from this point of view, Mengzhou City and her previous life of Jiangnan are geographically overlapped?
"There are many local chefs who have never been far away, as the saying goes, I am not afraid of a thousand tricks, I am afraid of a ruthless move, I will only make local dishes, what is the shame of being respectful, people are hesitant and not simple, what can be a big deal." Don Jr. spoke unceremoniously.
The bad guy was brought by himself, Du Shaonan had to mean something: "Xiao Tang, it's not for you to see how people are, let's talk about cooking skills......"
"Temperament and cooking skills are also related, her courage is not big and decisive is not enough, such a person is okay and innovative, if you change to the kitchen, it is the dishes taught by the master She can make exquisite and exquisite dim sum, but this is the ability of the predecessors, and then according to the gourd painting scoop is not their own dim sum, and this person, don't let her into my kitchen, I see that she is depressed between her eyebrows, I am afraid that she has been in trouble recently, and she has to concentrate on cooking."
After Xiao Tang finished speaking, he turned around and went into the kitchen again, he promised to help others, then he would do his best.
Du Shaonan didn't stop this time, in fact, he was busy laughing, and he had to explain to Liu Yiyi after he endured it: "Xiao Tang entered the kitchen when he was three years old, and he has seen more ingredients than people since he was a child, so he speaks more straightly, don't you mind." ”
Chef from elementary school? Not a god stick? Liu Yiyi is angry and not easy to attack, who makes people say it accurately? "Actually, as soon as I enter the kitchen, my heart calms down, and I won't get confused." She only explains this, and she can only explain this.
