Chen Er politely greeted the two elders.

Gou Kunshan said, "Since my little grandson thinks you can do it, we naturally won't question you more." ”

"It's just ......," he paused, then reminded Chen, "the one we have for this banquet is quite big, and very picky. ”

Chen Er understood what he meant, so he smiled lightly, "I'll be careful." ”

In his opinion, the more picky people are about food, the easier it is to be conquered.

Because such people are often difficult to encounter and favorite food, once they encounter a good one, they will naturally be quickly conquered.

Gou Xuefang hurriedly took Chen Er to the kitchen.

Gou Yuanling asked his father in the back.

"Isn't this guy a little too confident?"

Gou Kunshan did not speak.

He naturally knew that Chen Er's food was very delicious, but the one who was coming today was famous for picking bones in eggs.

I hope all the best for today.

Chen Er turned around and went into the kitchen of Gou's house.

I saw a dozen or so people dressed in chef's costumes standing respectfully waiting for them.

Gou Xuefang hurriedly dragged Chen Erdao, "The first few are my family's own chefs, and the ones in the back are all professional chefs hired from some big restaurants, you can watch the arrangements yourself." ”

Is that what it means to do it?

Chen Er is naturally happy to be idle, but no matter what step he takes when cooking, he is not willing to fake his hands.

After all, the old man of the Gou family outside just now also said that the one who is coming today is notoriously picky.

It's better for him to do it himself.

So Chen Er only randomly selected a young man who seemed to be more honest and reliable.

Gou Xuefang pulled him twice, "No, you can choose a few more people, look at the list you asked me to prepare before, so many dishes, how can you be busy alone." ”

Chen Er remembered that he was down to business, and hurriedly asked him to bring in all the ingredients.

And then only the young man remained.

The young man's name is Dou Yitong, and he is a well-known chef assistant in the Yanjing family.

Today, I was invited by the Gou family to help with the chef.

He graduated from a professional culinary school and was chosen by the chef as an assistant because of his excellent knife skills.

In his opinion, their chef is already a top master in cooking, and the restaurant where he works has never stopped making reservations, and often the entire month's seats are booked in the first half of the month.

Most of the diners who come here are for the chef's fame.

You can see what a great character the chef is.

Today they heard that the Gou family was going to invite a big man and invited a top chef, so he was thinking all the way that if he could be invited by the Gou family to hold a banquet for distinguished guests, and he did not hesitate to find many chefs to start, he must be a powerful and shining character.

I didn't think that when I first saw him, he was a young man who looked very ordinary.

He didn't talk much, but he looked kind.

And he was tall and thin, and he didn't have the slightest smell of oil smoke on his body, so he didn't look like he was doing this at all.

After Gou Xuefang left, only the two of them were left in the kitchen.

Dou Yitong looked at Chen Er carefully until he saw Chen Er cough several times in a row.

He came back to his senses, "You have an uncomfortable throat? ”

Chen Er looked at him incredulously, could it be that this kid's head was made of elm, he was reminding him to stop staring at himself, couldn't he see that this was a very embarrassing signal?

But seeing that his eyes were clear and his expression was very serious, Chen Er had no choice but to let him pour himself a glass of water.

Dou Yitong took the empty water cup that Chen Er drank clean.

Suddenly, he asked, "Excuse me, what level of chef are you?" ”

In his opinion, with the strength of the Gou family, the chef invited would definitely not be too low-level.

Chen Er said casually, "There is no rank. ”

Dou Yitong was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Chen Er shook his head secretly, why is this kid so stupid, did he choose the wrong person?

I had to tell him to sort the ingredients quickly.

Dou Yitong said, "Could it be that you are a legendary master of the world?" ”

He muttered to himself, "It's like in a TV series, it's not obvious, but it's a stunt? ”

Chen Er hurriedly stopped his brain.

This kid is simply a fight with Gou Xuefang.

"Go, shell the chestnuts, put them in a steamer, and steam them over low heat. Ten crabs, put them in a steamer basket with ginger and shallots, and steam them over medium heat. ”

"Yes!" Although Dou Yitong looked dumbfounded, he was very quick to do things.

And the mind is delicate, and you don't need Chen Er to remind you to know that you have to steam the chestnuts and crabs separately to avoid cross-flavoring.

Chen Er nodded, "Wash the japonica rice twice for later use." ”

Dou Yitong hurriedly went to wash rice again.

Chen Er took out He Shou Wu, washed it, and stomped it into small pieces.

Then take out the deer blood and deer tendons and set it aside.

The deer tendons are washed and stomped into small pieces.

Dou Yitong couldn't guess what Chen Er was going to do.

He still knows a little about these things separately, but he doesn't know what to make together.

Chen Er took out a purple casserole, and the japonica rice was laid on the bottom, followed by He Shou Wu, deer tendons, and then deer blood.

Then let Dou Yitong scoop water out of the vat.

Dou Yitong saw that the water was very clean, without any impurities, and it was clear and transparent, and the smell was fresh.

At first glance, you can tell that it is mountain spring water that has just been transported from the mountains.

In recent years, there are many people who still use mountain spring water to cook.

At least Chen Er was the first one he had ever seen.

I've only heard of some extremely elaborate people or big chefs doing this before.

When the water was halfway up, Chen Er stopped.

Then bring it to the stovetop and simmer.

Dou Yitong had never seen this kind of practice, so he felt a little apprehensive.

"Every chef has their own recipe, which is usually not passed on, I ...... Doesn't it look good for me here? ”

Chen Er felt that it didn't matter, "These recipes are also handed down by predecessors, even if they are known, it is nothing, if the recipes are tightly dragged in their hands and cannot be passed on, then it is called boring." ”

Just like delicious things, the more people eat together, the more fragrant and delicious they feel.

Dou Yitong was even more surprised, it was the first time he had seen this statement.

Chen Er smelled the sweet aroma of chestnuts coming from the steamer.

Hurriedly reached out to turn off the fire and took out the steamed chestnuts.

The steamed chestnuts have a sweet and fiery aroma, and the yellow chestnut flesh is steamed until it is cooked by steam.

Chen Er picked one up and easily pinched it in half with a slight pinch.

Put it in your mouth, and the hot air envelops the aroma and fills the whole mouth, which is sweet and glutinous.

Chen Er nodded, "Okay, you mash these chestnuts into mud." Pound it before the heat is gone. ”

Dou Yitong hurriedly took a pound and pounded it.

Chen Er also found a live perch from the pile of ingredients, scaled and gutted, and washed it with mountain spring water with crushed ice.

Start making the second course.
