159 In a hurry
Zhang Xue quickly cut the shredded carrots, Tang Yiyi took a look, and found that the shredded carrots were thin and even, and the roots were all the same thickness, even accurate to 1 mm, worthy of being an alien.
Shredded carrots are actually not easy to cut, the carrots themselves are brittle and hard, the strength is not strong enough, and the knife is not sharp enough, the slices will feel uncomfortable, let alone shredded. Therefore, if ordinary people want to be cooks, they have to practice knife work for many years, and they can't slack off. Zhang Xue is a wood-based ability, and she is already familiar with plants, and after her body is strengthened by the ability, her strength is relatively greater than that of ordinary people, so it is naturally easy to cut a carrot shred.
However, knife work is only one of the criteria for testing a cook, and the key is to look at the heat and taste.
Tang Yiyi felt that Zhang Xueren was very smart, and she was quite relieved about such an "apprentice", and after reading the carrot shreds, she said: "The knife work is okay, so let's do it, you will come to the kitchen to help after you are busy with your own things in the future, and you will observe me cooking when I am cooking, and usually practice knife skills and plating." Observe for a few days, you think it's almost over, how about practicing next to it? ”
Tang Yiyi has never been a teacher, and she doesn't know how other cooks teach her disciples, so she can only grope for it herself, and let Zhang Xue ask her if she doesn't understand.
Zhang Xue is really smart, when Tang Yiyi was cooking, she watched carefully and wrote down every step, but Tang Yiyi operated six pots at a time, and the speed was fast, which inevitably made people a little dazzled.
After 8 o'clock, Tangmen's business gradually cooled down. Tang Yiyi asked Zhang Xue to choose a few dishes to practice by herself, but no one helped her with this practice. She had to do everything she needed for the ingredients and the plating.
But Zhang Xue doesn't care about these, she really wants to learn cooking, where can she think about being lazy? Whether it is handling ingredients or plating, it is a skill that a chef should have. If Tang Yiyi didn't let her come by herself, she would be in a hurry.
When she was busy, Tang Yiyi went to the workshop next door, took out the red fire scorpion and blue scale grass that she had processed in the afternoon, and began to process it further. She didn't mean to avoid Zhang Xue, but both the red fire scorpion and the blue scale grass emitted an unpleasant smell, and once they were taken out, they would contaminate the other ingredients in the kitchen. Even the dishes that Zhang Xue practiced had to be affected!
After all, it was the first time she had dealt with the Red Fire Scorpion, so for the sake of safety, she only took four catties of first-class scorpion meat out. The flesh of the scorpion is reddish in color. It also has a unique texture, and if you ignore the strong fishy smell it emits, it looks very good.
Tang Yiyi cut the scorpion meat into 5 mm thick slices, and cut the blue scaly grass into thin strips the size of a little finger. Put them together in a basin. Then follow the method given in the system and start kneading with your hands. As she rubbed her fingers, the smell of the blue scaly grass and the red fire scorpion gradually fused together, and the unpleasant fishy smell became lighter and lighter, and finally the smell disappeared, only slightly fishy.
But this is normal, after all, it is raw meat, if there is no fishy smell at all. It's weird.
Tang Yiyi purified the air and went directly to the big kitchen with the basin. Zhang Xue is still chopping vegetables. Hearing the sound of the door opening, I couldn't help but turn my head to take a look. When I saw the basin in her hand, I was obviously a little surprised.
Zhang Xue actually knew what Tang Yiyi was doing in the workshop, after all, she had been in the Tang Gate for so long, and she had eaten mutant beast meat for so long, she already knew everything she should know. She knew that Tang Yiyi had entered the workshop to deal with mutant beast meat, so she was neither surprised nor dissatisfied.
She was a stranger herself, and she knew all too well how precious the method of making poisonous mutant beast meat edible was! So she didn't think there was anything wrong with Tang Yiyi hiding from others.
But she didn't expect that Tang Yiyi would come out directly with the basin. She is an alien, her five senses are sharper than ordinary people, as soon as Tang Yiyi came out with the basin, she smelled the faint fishy smell emanating from it, so she knew that the meat inside was not processed at all.
In other words, Tang Yiyi took it out, and it was likely that he planned to continue to deal with it in the big kitchen!
After Zhang Xue was shocked, she was pleasantly surprised, but she thought about it and asked, "Yiyi, what's wrong?" Is it necessary to take something? ”
Tang Yiyi shook his head: "You are my apprentice now, and I, as a master, can't leave you alone and let you practice alone, so I'll watch you here later, lest you mess around." ”
Zhang Xue instantly understood Tang Yiyi's subtext, she wouldn't be stupid enough to think that Tang Yiyi really came out just to watch her and not let her make mistakes, if that was the case, why did Tang Yiyi take out the unprocessed mutant beast meat together?
Some words are too clear to be interesting, so she wisely didn't ask again, and after happily responding, she was busy herself, and she didn't take this opportunity to see how Tang Yiyi was going to deal with the mutant beast meat, which was considered to be a disguised way to avoid suspicion.
Tang Yiyi was quite satisfied with her current affairs, and she didn't deliberately let her observe, just busy herself. Although the fishy smell of the red fire scorpion and the blue scaly grass was resolved, she still had to pickle, she added salt and other spices, kneaded it vigorously with her hands for ten minutes, and then directly put the pot aside and began to process the other ingredients.
The two of them each occupied a corner of the kitchen, each busy with their own business, and neither of them disturbed the other. Tang Yiyi's movements were skillful and quick, and she processed the ingredients after a while, and then she took out the cleaned wok and put it on the stove, and the fire hit, "boom", the beautiful blue flame appeared instantly, licking the bottom of the pot, the pot became hotter and hotter, and the residual water vapor in it gradually evaporated.
With oil, heat, and spices, the oil temperature rises little by little, but the fragrance gradually comes out and becomes rich. On the other side, Zhang Xue also processed the ingredients and was preparing to cook. The first thing she tried was a scrambled egg with tomatoes, she had made this dish before, but she couldn't do it, so the taste was average, this time she watched the whole process of Tang Yiyi's cooking, and she had the bottom in her heart.
Zhang Xue was methodically scrambling eggs, when she heard a "swish", turned her head to look, and found that Tang Yiyi had already put the marinated meat slices in the basin into the pot and was stir-frying.
As soon as the meat slices were heated, the faint fishy smell just now could not be smelled, but the aroma of meat was exuded, which made people drool.
Zhang Xue couldn't help but take a breath, then suddenly her heart tightened, turned her head to look at her pot, and didn't dare to peep again. It's just that this time she came to her senses, she found that the eggs in the pot were old, and hurriedly put them out.
Tang Yiyi was busy making scorpion meat, but she didn't notice her small movements. This time, she was preparing to braised it, and when it was almost stir-fried, she poured in the prepared broth and covered it with a lid and cooked. (To be continued......)
