Although Wang Yuanxiang did not talk to Li Xiang directly, she first saw Li Xiang at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Zhao in the Fuyi Chunfeng Building, and Li Xiang's outstanding performance that night made Wang Yuanchun remember this man, and later she found out that Li Xiang was Tanhualang, and he was the boss behind the scenes of Chunfeng Building, which surprised her.

"Miss Wang misunderstood, although the dish I want to make this time is simple to make and the requirements for heat are not high, but one of the simple skills is afraid that Miss Wang will be difficult to do." Li Xiang smiled bitterly.

"What?" Ouyang Xue and Wang Yuanxiang asked in unison.

"This dish needs to be cooked, I'm afraid that Miss Wang won't be able to handle it."

"Stir the pot?" Apparently these two people, who rarely enter the stove, did not know what it meant to make a pot.

Li Xiang also rarely talked nonsense with them, walked directly to a cauldron, held the ear on the side of the pot with one hand, and began to demonstrate.

"The main purpose of this pot is to let the ingredients heat evenly in the pot, it's not enough to stir-fry, Miss Wang, you can try, can you move it?" Li Xiang explained as he swiped it.

Generally, in modern restaurants, the design of the stove makes it possible for the chef to pick up the pot without much effort, but the stove of that era was not designed in this way, and the pot did not have a fixed fulcrum, so it was necessary to waste some effort to pick it up.

Wang Yuanxiang glanced at Ouyang Xue, put down the things in his hand, walked to the front of the stove, learned from Li Xiang's appearance, and slammed it hard, only to hear a clang, although it was picked up, but it immediately fell down again, and when it touched the stove, Wang Yuanxiang tried to squeeze it hard, but it still didn't work, and the movements were incoherent, so he blushed.

Li Xiang's eyes scanned around, and his mind was also thinking about how to use the simplest method to make a delicious dish, the key was to make it possible for the person in front of him who was only a little familiar with cooking skills.

In the end, Li Xiang's gaze stayed on an inconspicuous corner of the stove, and there was a small stove in the corner of the stove room, a bit similar to the modern honeycomb coal stove, but the body was still smaller, about a quarter of the current honeycomb coal stove, and there was a large clay pot in the stove.

On the side of the stove, there was a flat-like thing that held things, which looked a little dark, but these two things still made Li Xiang suddenly think of a famous dish in his previous life, teppanyaki beef.

In fact, the method of sizzling beef is very simple, but after simple cooking in a pot, transfer the beef and all the ingredients to a red-hot iron plate, and use the heat of the iron plate to continue cooking, so that the beef is tender and hot.

Li Xiang didn't squeak, his eyes turned to the small stove in the corner of the stove again, if you use this crockpot and bake it on this stove all the time, then this flat-bottomed crockpot can also keep it hot, it can be regarded as simulating an iron plate, although the taste will have some differences, as long as you make some adjustments in the seasoning, you can make up for it, thinking of this Li Xiang's eyes lit up.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"There is a dish that I have just thought of, although I have not tried it, but it must be more popular with the majority of customers, and of course it is suitable for making at home, and it is also a dish that can make full use of the eliminated cattle in the salt factory."

"Oh."

"Where's yesterday's beef?"

"Here, I just sent it today." Wang Yuanxiang took out a large piece of beef from the side.

"Xue'er, Yuanxiang, my dish is called Yanbang boiled beef." Li Xiang explained while cleaning the beef: "The most important place first, and the most neglected, is to cut the beef. ”

"Cutting beef, is this also particular?" Ouyang Xue, who was on the side, couldn't help but interject, although she rarely cooked, she was still slightly the same for cooking.

"Yes, very particular, many people do not do good beef is not delicious, first of all, it is not done well at this pass of cutting beef, the cutting method of beef and pork and chicken are different, if you follow the practice of cutting pork, then no matter what you do, half of the beef dishes will fail." Li Xiang said.

Wang Yuanxiang's eyes widened, she likes to cook dishes, and sometimes she will cook when she is interested, but she cooks according to her preferences, how can she be so disciplined and exquisite.

"Then how do you cut this beef?" Wang Yuanxiang asked.

Li Xiang took out the beef in his hand, pointed to the side and said: "All meat, whether it is pork, beef, or mutton has its meridians, you see, this meat actually has stripes and directions, and this is the meridian of meat." ”

Li Xiang pointed to the texture of this piece of beef and said as he spoke.

Wang Yuanxiang and Ouyang Xue both leaned over and saw that there were indeed stripes on the beef.

"The meat of beef is very tough and has a lot of tendons, so it must be cut crosswise, that is, it must be crossed with this pattern, so that the tendons of beef can be cut off, and the beef is easy to cook."

Li Xiang held a piece of beef in his hand, placed it vertically along the lines, and cut it on the top, so that it was perpendicular to the lines.

"This is not the case with pork, because the meat is not so tough, and there are no tendons, but it is also easy to get old if you cut it along the lines, so pork should be laid flat and cut in reverse, which is very different from beef."

Li Xiang is dealing with this beef, generally doing the popularization of basic skills, in fact, these are the most basic basic jobs of a cook, which must be known in any modern chef school, but in ancient times, cooks are masters and apprentices, and there is no such basic theoretical knowledge for them to learn, Wang Yuanxiang and Ouyang Xue listened to it with great interest on the side, it turns out that there are so many exquisiteness in cutting vegetables.

Li Xiang slowly cut the beef into slices with a knife, leaving half of the beef for later use.

"In order to ensure the tenderness of the beef, the cut beef must go through some treatment, first use some salt to rub on the beef, not too much, and then add a little water, so that the salted beef will fully absorb the water, and finally put the beef into the oil to soak." Li Xiang crushed the salt and spread it evenly on top of the beef, added some water, poured some oil in a bowl on the side, and immersed the beef in it.

Beef soaked in oil has a very filling sensation.

After Li Xiang finished all the ingredients, the flat-bottomed pot was also washed, and said to Ouyang Xue with a smile: "Xue'er, I may need your help." ”

"Me, how can I help?" Ouyang Xue pointed to her nose.

"How can it help? Of course it helped to light the fire. Li Xiang said.

"You asked me to light the fire?" Ouyang Snow Road.

"I'm going to stir-fry here, and I have to show you how to be busy." Li Xiang said angrily.

Wang Yuanxiang's appearance must not have done this job.

"I'll make a fire." Wang Yuanxiang squatted down, in fact, she was very interested in this so-called salt-boiled beef. (To be continued.) )
