Next chapter

Hong Feifei just came out of her father Hong Bo's office, and learned that the two restaurants in the family were completely unsustainable, Hong Bo finally made up his mind, ready to finish the last month, file for bankruptcy, and the rest of the belongings, the debts that should be repaid, the debts that should be sold, and the old employees in the restaurant were severed, and the father and daughter left Jiangjin City.

Hearing the news, although Hong Feifei was also very sad, deep down, there was a sense of relief. Since she was a child, she watched her father pay too much for the revitalization of Hong's cuisine, and experienced countless ups and downs, especially in the past two years, the business has been declining, Hong Bo has been beautiful on the surface, but he has worked too hard behind his back, and even did not hesitate to cheat loans in the name of running a farm - fortunately, he made a trip to bite the gold, if he really succeeded at that time, now it seems that it will be useless, it is nothing more than a delay of a few months of bankruptcy, and the honest farmers in Bamboo Shoot Town have been pitted.

Unlike Hong Bo, Hong Feifei inherited the ancestral cooking skills of the Hong family, ******** are in the kitchen, and they have no interest in doing business, and they can't do it. Over the years, the father and daughter still have some private savings, and with her good cooking skills, she will not go anywhere without food.

Hong Feifei changed into a chef's outfit, and as soon as she walked into the kitchen, she saw several masters in the back kitchen, as well as seven or eight helpers cutting and washing vegetables, gathered together to chat, and when she heard someone coming in, they all stared at herself.

"Why don't you do things in broad daylight?" The kitchen is Hong Feifei's world, and here, her authority is greater than that of her father, and she swept her eyes and asked.

A few small workers didn't dare to speak, and a master with gray hair smiled bitterly: "Feifei, the hotel is about to fall, we still have the heart to cook." ”

"Uncle Yang, you're old. There are some things that I shouldn't have said. Hong Feifei walked to the board with a calm face and pointed to the pots and pans on the table, "The company can't fail, that's what my dad has to worry about." Even if it falls, it will not lack a penny from everyone. Who are we, we are chefs, as long as there is a guest in the hall, we have to do what a chef should do. In terms of modernization. It is called dedication, and in the old saying of ancient diligence, it is called duty. ”

Although the status of the diligent pedestrian in the feudal society is not high and they are not on the stage, they have their own set of rules, strictly speaking, they belong to a part of the Jianghu people. Don't look at Hong Feifei's age is less than one-third of this master, but the lessons are set in a set, and even have the taste of an ancient woman. The few masters who said it were speechless.

Master Yang is also a well-known national first-class chef, and he can deserve to be the chef in charge of any big hotel, and he is usually a nostril-facing figure in front of other chefs. But in front of Hong Feifei, she didn't even have the heart to fight back.

There is no way, diligence can be no matter age, it is more than craftsmanship, it is virtue, whose craftsmanship is high, virtue is good. Serve whomever you want. This virtue does not refer to the benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith in the eyes of ordinary people, let alone the core values of socialism, but the set of rules of cooks handed down from ancient times. The Hong family is very knowledgeable, not only passing on the craft. There are also rules, Hong Feifei grew up with this kind of education since she was a child, don't look young, but in terms of 'virtue', these masters who have no family background are really far inferior to her.

"Fei Fei, there are no guests today, just one table. Yesterday, Director Xia of the Tourism Bureau set the table and specified that he would eat snakes. There is only one emerald snake left in the kitchen, and we are afraid that it will be broken and smash the signboard. Another middle-aged chef explained.

These chefs didn't mean to make things difficult for her, they can be snakes, but if they want to do well, that's another matter. Hong Feifei began to enter the kitchen of the restaurant at the age of fifteen, and in the past ten years, the 'obscenity' has crushed these chefs to death, and if the guests are not satisfied, Hong Feifei will really get angry.

"They can eat a fart!" Hong Feifei burst into a foul mouth with some disdain, and snapped her fingers: "Snake." ”

Lao Yang brought over a bamboo cage more than half a meter high, and inside was a bamboo leaf green with a whole body and a yellow abdomen, but the two eyes were dark red. This bamboo leaf green snake is obviously thicker than the average bamboo leaf green snake, more than a meter.

This kind of 'big bamboo leaf green' is relatively rare, and there is only one local product in the country, which is the Shunan bamboo sea in the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The big bamboo leaf green is known as the "bamboo leaf green king", and you can know it by listening to the name, and the toxicity is extremely fierce.

The more poisonous the snakes, the more delicious the meat, the eyes of this big bamboo leaf green are already dark red, more poisonous than the general big bamboo leaf green, just the purchase price, it is more than 10,000, after Hong Feifei's hand cooking, the price is as high as 28888, Hong Jiacai takes the high-end route This can be seen.

The toxicity of the general bamboo leaf green is already extremely amazing, not to mention this bamboo leaf green king, as soon as it is taken out, a few young helpers are like hiding from the plague, swishing and jumping away, for fear of being bitten. But they are reluctant to leave the kitchen, Miss Hong cooking in person is not something that can be seen often, just learn a few tricks, it is enough for them to use it for several years.

Several masters also rubbed their hands and looked at Hong Feifei with a smile.

"Hey, I've never seen you so blatantly stealing teachers. Forget it, just give everyone some benefits before they break up. Hong Feifei glared at a few people present with amusement and anger, then uncovered the lid of the bamboo basket, stared at the bamboo leaf green swimming in it for a few seconds, and reached into the basket like lightning.

"Sister, here you go." A small helper handed over a sharp knife and a wooden board with nails on his face, killing the snake was similar to killing the yellow eel, nailing the snake to the wooden board seven inches, and then using the sharp knife to peel off the skin and disembowel.

"Nonsense, can you still eat it if you kill it like this!" Hong Feifei ignored him, took out a small porcelain bottle, shook her thumb, opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, and immediately a fragrance of herbs wafted out of it.

"Sister, what is this, it smells so good, is it snake medicine?" The worker asked again.

Master Yang, who had been scolded before, smiled, put on his old qualifications, and said to the little worker: "What do you know, this is dogwood juice." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Gong obviously hadn't heard of this thing, and looked at Hong Feifei curiously, Hong Feifei didn't explain, just hooked his fingers at him, handed him the small bottle of dogwood juice, and asked him to take it, and then the thumb and middle finger of the free hand were clamped between the upper and lower jaws of the big bamboo leaf, and the bamboo leaflet suddenly opened his mouth, and the two poisonous fangs turned out.

"Feed it and drink, be careful not to get fangs on your hands, otherwise the gods will not be able to save you." Hong Feifei said.

Xiao Gong trembled and handed the bottle to Zhu Yeqing's mouth, and poured the dogwood juice inside into Zhu Yeqing's mouth. After drinking all the bamboo leaves, Hong Feifei opened the bamboo cage again and threw the bamboo leaves into it casually.

Zhu Yeqing was like knocking on medicine, twisting his body and rolling in the bamboo cage over and over, hitting the whole cage and swaying, but soon, he didn't move, and when Hong Feifei brought it up again, it was already a soft one, and he actually fainted.

Xiao Gong had the audacity to poke Zhu Yeqing's belly, but there was no reaction at all.

"Obediently, sister, this is an anesthetic!" Xiao Gong said in surprise.

"Hehe, I don't understand, the cat uses mint as wine, the snake uses dogwood as wine, Zhu Yeqing is drunk, Fei Fei poured dogwood on it, and the meat will be tender." Lao Yang explained on the side again.

"There's another reason." Hong Feifei rarely took the initiative to speak, "Normal killing methods, whether it is suffocation, disembowelment or falling to death, animals and people are like them, they will be nervous and afraid when they are dying, and they secrete an amino acid in their bodies, which will lead to a slight change in the taste of the muscles, although the upstairs bit can't eat it, but we are cooks, and we can't lie to ourselves." Let it get drunk and die in a daze, and there will be no zài problem. Remember, not only to kill snakes, but also to deal with any animal, it is better not to let it die in fear, because it is more humane and tastes better. ”

"I'm convinced, I've really gained knowledge!" The little worker gave a thumbs up and said with sincere admiration.

Next, I watched Hong Feifei move the knife like the wind, as if performing a knife technique, simply and neatly peeled the drunk bamboo leaf green, peeled off the scales, and in the whole process, Zhu Yeqing did not even shed a drop of blood, faintly visible under the muscles, blood flowed in the blood vessels, and the last knife bleeds.

A few minutes later, the bamboo leaf green was unloaded, and the snake meat, snake intestines, snake gallbladder, and the parts that could be eaten were all sorted. Most people think that snakeskin is scales, but in fact, after removing the scales, there is a translucent film underneath, and the porridge tastes unique, which is more refreshing than the best bird's nest. Of course, the vast majority of people simply don't handle scales well.

"Come on, Feifei, leave it to us next." Whether the snake tastes good or not, mainly depends on how to kill, the cooking process is similar, at least with the level of a few chefs present, this snake can definitely die well, and it will not be ruined.

"Then you guys are busy." Hong Feifei washed her hands and took off her apron, and asked one of her most familiar chefs while ingrediating: "Feifei, next week the Yangtze River in Huayin County will start fishing, should we still go?" ”

The ingredients of Hongjia cuisine have always been carefully selected, the fish in the Yangtze River after half a year of fishing moratorium, one by one grow fat and strong, fishing in May, it is the fattest time, and occasionally you can catch a small number of rare and cherished fish. Therefore, every year when Huayin County opens for fishing, Hong Feifei will take people to purchase.

Seeing that Hong Jiacai is about to go out of business, there is no point in going.

"Forget it, you can stay at home, I'll go and save the company alone." Hong Feifei said.

As a top chef, Hong Feifei certainly doesn't want to miss it, not to mention that although the Hong family's cuisine can't be opened, she will still have to do the chef's job in the future, and of course she can't miss it if there are good ingredients, but there is no need to purchase on a large scale like before.

There is a deeper reason, in Yangchuan City, not far from Huayin County, there is also an 'old friend' who has a deep relationship with her, and this old friend goes to the fishing ceremony every year. (To be continued.) )
