Chapter 333: Cutting the Knife
Jiang Duanyu was going to go with the army to suppress the bandits, and he didn't have much chance to talk to Shu Jin before leaving, because after the military department deliberated, Jiang Cangjin first called him to tell him, and then he was summoned by the queen to the palace for some inquiry.
There is no way, because this time the crown prince Qi Lian is also going to set off with the army, so of course the queen has to ask Bao Sichen to say a few words to Jiang Duanyu. In fact, the main thing is to tell Bao Sichen to take care of it, but the queen can't ignore Jiang Duanyu too much because of the face of the protector and King Yong, so she called him together.
Jiang Duanyu just didn't want to be divided between himself and Shu Jin, so he had to go to the palace.
Fortunately, according to estimates, it will not be too long to suppress the bandits.
When the team left Changdu, Shu Jin did not see them off, because except for the emperor who placed wine on the city gate to sacrifice to the sky, all the roads that the soldiers needed to walk and the roads that were connected were all under martial law, and no one was allowed to approach. Jiang Duanyu could only think about the many delicious chats that Shu Jin brought him in the cage to express his comfort.
Not long after Jiang Duanyu left Changdu, it was still a rainy day, and the little twin sisters arrived in Changdu with Jiaojiao, together with Uncle Ge, the Qiao brothers, and the Xu brothers.
Escorting them was a subordinate of Ge Cunzhong, whose name was Yu Yingyao. Several children were sent directly to Yipinge, and when they all packed up, Shu Jin just came back from Guozijian.
The two little girls haven't seen Shu Jin for a few days, and when they saw Shu Jin's figure at first glance, their eyes turned red, and they knelt down and shouted to the master.
"Hurry up, let me see, I haven't seen you for almost two months, has anything changed?" Shu Jin smiled and pulled up the two little girls and asked.
The two little girls said that they missed their master a lot. He also said that the two of them took good care of the stove room of Yipinge, in short, they began to express their thoughts seriously, and then they asked for praise.
Shu Jin smiled and praised them. Then he looked at the four boys of the Qiao family and the Xu family who came over. first said to Qiao Hongwei:
"You came just in time, tomorrow Hongyi is coming to my place to take classes, your brother may not have seen you for a long time, tomorrow I will bring him with me, and your brothers will also get together."
Then Shu Jin asked a few more children how their homework was and so on.
In the evening, Wei Jiaojiao asked them to make dinner, and asked Shu Jin to check if their skills had improved during this time. So Shu Jin simply sent someone to send a letter back to the Protector Mansion. The Tao will not go back today.
On the second day, Shu Jin still taught the students knife techniques:
"It means carving. Therefore, the knife is also called the flower knife. In general, the knife is the technique of cutting or slicing, and the surface of the food is marked with various horizontal and vertical knife lines that are deep and impermeable. After cutting the ingredients with knives, they are then cooked. May curl into various shapes. For example, wheat ears, chrysanthemums, magnolia flowers, walnuts, wooden comb backs and other shapes. In this way, the ingredients will be easier to cook, and the dishes will be kept fresh, tender and crispy, and the condiments will be more flavorful.
According to the method of cutting the knife, it can be divided into pushing knife, broaching knife, and straight knife...... The operation method is divided into push knife, broach knife, straight knife, and I will show you one by one. Let's look at the push knife first. ”
Shu Jin said and picked up half a slice of fish. She first pressed it with her left finger. The right hand holds the knife, the knife edge is outward, the back of the knife is inward, the blade is close to the upper knuckle of the left hand, and about two-thirds of the fish is sliced, and then, gently move the position of the hand, and then go down, in the blink of an eye, the distance is equal, and a row of knife edges with the same depth appears on the fish.
Then came the broach. The broach blade is similar to the push knife blade, pay attention to the direction of the knife body. ”
Again, the left hand holds the fish and the right hand holds the knife, this time with the blade facing outward and the blade facing inward.
In the end, the straight blade is cut straight into the fish with the blade downward.
"It doesn't seem to be difficult."
Someone watched Shu Jin's movements and quietly turned his head to the ear canal.
Isn't it just cutting, but not cutting?
"It's really not too difficult, the main thing is to be proficient in application." Shu Jin didn't reprimand when he heard it, but added.
Nowadays, in Shu Jin's class, students often ask questions in class, and Shu Jin can answer them at any time, so students are also used to being unrestrained and saying whatever they want.
Shu Jin is not a very strict teacher, clapped his hands, and said to everyone:
"You can try it, but don't waste it, you can use the next piece only after you have processed one piece, and there are only three pieces of fish that can be used per person. Let you practice three different knife techniques. ”
"Teacher, then, what kind of ingredients should these three knife techniques be used for?"
"Well, that's a good question, that's what I'm going to say, these three techniques can be used only one or at the same time. If a variety of knife techniques are used together, it is called a flower knife. ”
"Teacher, if you practice the flower knife well, is it like you, carving food like the real thing?"
After all, many of the children of officials in the Guozi Prison were children, and even some of the people present had participated in the palace night banquet, so someone suddenly asked, and after he finished speaking, all the students were excited.
Shu Jin looked at the expectant eyes of these students and smiled:
"Sort of, these are basic knife techniques, and if you are proficient, you will naturally be able to handle the ingredients in your hands as you like."
Hearing this, the students immediately became enthusiastic and began to use the knife in earnest. Shu Jin looked at the forty or so people below, and corrected everyone's posture in time, lest they chop their hands before they had cut the fish.
Halfway through a class, Shu Jin still followed the old rules, processing the ingredients that the students had handled a little, that is, changing the knife, and then taking them to the small stove room on the side, and then selecting a few ingredients to turn these into fragrant and delicious dishes. Then the students tasted it and left the class satisfied.
"Qiao Hongyi, wait a minute, I have something to look for you." After class, Shu Jin stopped Qiao Hongyi, who was about to leave, "You come with me first." ”
"Master Shu, is there something wrong?"
Although everyone calls Teacher Shu Jin or the county lord, in private, Qiao Hongyi still calls her Master Shu.
"Look at you sullen, what's wrong? Under the weather? Shu Jin asked.
"It's nothing, it's just raining, and it's inevitable that I'm depressed, so it's okay."
"I have good news for you here, and I think you can get rid of the boredom in your heart after hearing it."
"Oh? Master Shu, you said. ”
"Yesterday, Weiwei arrived with Jiaojiao, and with them were Hongwei Hongqi and Xu Hui Xu Liang. Now that people are in Yipinge, do you want to meet them? (To be continued......)
