Chapter 103: Advances in Culinary Skills

Xia Ruo stayed downstairs to help in Ju Xia, and by the way, he also learned cooking, Xia Ruo did not ask for wages during his studies, and at the same time, Master Liu also said that when Xia Ruo's level went up, he could cook for customers as Ju Xia's chef.

The most basic and best way to improve your cooking skills is to improve your knife skills.

You don't have to pay much attention to cooking and chopping vegetables at home, but chefs are different.

Knife work is not only for aesthetics, but real chefs will not despise knife work, and those who despise knife work will take a long detour on the road to advancement in cooking.

The size, thickness and uniformity of the ingredients have a direct impact on the ripeness and flavor of the ingredients.

The same ingredients and stir-frying methods, just because of the difference in knife skills, will cause differences in taste and texture, which Xia Ruo didn't know before.

Xia Ruo did not directly use the prestige point to learn, but honestly listened to Chef Liu's explanation and deeply understood the foundation of cooking.

Especially after listening to the explanation, Xia Ruo also slowly understood the breadth and profundity of Chinese cuisine.

He felt a new door open in front of him.

Cooking is not only to fill the stomach, but also an art, which Xia Ruo may not know enough before, and may have other ideas, thinking that being a chef is not interesting, but now, Xia Ruo really wants to enter this world of cooking.

In such a high-level cooking world, any one of them is a great chef, and such resources are really hard to find in the real world.

From the selection of the knife, to the standing posture, the posture of holding the knife, the way of exerting force, various cutting methods, and the difference between cutting vegetables and meat, with the personal guidance of Master Liu, Xia Ruo learned very quickly.

Xia Ruo became familiar with it for a whole day and practiced for a day.

On this day, in Xia Ruo's mind, there was nothing left except the sound of the knife cutting vegetables hitting the board on the board.

According to reason, even if the knife work is the foundation, it will take a month to accumulate and sharpen before it can achieve a small success, but because Xia Ruo is is lv2, he has improved all attributes twice, in addition to physical fitness, his understanding has also increased, but Xia Ruo has not paid attention to it before. In addition, he knows swordsmanship and has a high grasp of the body, so he learns very quickly.

Not to mention the guidance of experienced chefs, once Xia Ruo makes a mistake, he will be pointed out immediately.

Xia Ruo also understood some of the basic points as soon as he heard them, and he got started quickly.

Even, when Xia Ruo was chopping vegetables, he slowly compared it with the swordsmanship in his mind, constantly improving himself, and his knife skills were improving rapidly, just one day, Xia Ruo looked like he was cutting vegetables.

For ordinary people who have not been trained in professional cooking, this learning ability can be called terrifying, even in the worldview of culinary geniuses like Xiao Dangjia, it is quite rare.

Master Liu looked at Xia Ruo's performance, touched his mustache and nodded.

Although he thinks that this young man's foundation may be a little worse, but at this rate of progress, he may really be able to become a great chef in the future, after all, a real top chef, hard work and talent are indispensable.

At the end of the day, in addition to eating in the middle and cutting vegetables non-stop, even Xia Ruo's physical fitness felt a little sore in his wrists.

"Brother Xia Ruo, come, drink water," the little master brought Xia Ruo a glass of water after a day's work, the little master is still younger than Xia Ruo, so it's no problem to call the eldest brother.

"Thank you, little master," Xia Ruo took a sip of water.

"No thanks, I really didn't expect that Brother Xia Ruo you are so powerful, it's only been one day, and the progress is so great, when I was learning to cook, I practiced the knife holding posture for a long time," the little master's tone was with a hint of seriousness, he really felt that Xia Ruo was very talented.

"It's okay, I've learned swordsmanship before, so my mastery of strength and control of my body are very precise," Xia Ruo said here, putting his fingers together and making a sword movement.

"Swordsmanship? Was Brother Xia Ruo a chivalrous man before? The little master asked curiously, he didn't expect that Xia Ruo was not only good at magic, but also at swordsmanship, and now he came to learn cooking again, and he felt that he was a very powerful and mysterious person.

"Of course, my swordsmanship is very powerful, by the way, have you heard of Ximen Blowing Snow and Ye Gucheng?"

"Huh?"

Xia Ruo is idle and bored, so he tells stories to the little master, and by the way, he brushes the favorability of the little master, after all, he is still downstairs in Juxia, and he has a better relationship with the young master, and he can give himself a little more resources in the future.

After telling the story, it's time to have dinner.

I have to say that it is worthy of a world dominated by cooking, the ordinary staff meals Xia Ruo ate downstairs in Ju Xia are better than the food he ate in any restaurant he went to in the real world, even if it is an ordinary plate of fried vegetables, made by any chef in the back kitchen, it is much better than what Xia Ruo has eaten before.

This made Xia Ruo look forward to a lot of dishes that would glow and hallucinate in the future.

It was getting dark, Xia Ruo said to the little master, hoping to continue to practice in the back kitchen for a while at night, and the little master agreed, not only that, but the little master also wanted to watch.

This world is very tolerant of cooking learning, when the little master practiced making shredded green pepper pork with Ah Q at Yangquan Restaurant, he made nearly 100 plates in one night, and he was not satisfied with doing it all the time, wasting countless cooking ingredients, and finally made the shredded green pepper meat that made the first chef very satisfied.

In the back kitchen, Xia Ruo held the kitchen knife, looked at the ingredients in front of him, and made a move.

Dadada!

The kitchen knife kept hitting the board, and it was completely two pictures when he came in the morning, Xia Ruo's chopping speed was several times faster, and the previous chopping speed was slower than now, just like an old lady.

After the ingredients are cut, they become much more neat, but they are much worse than the little masters, but it is too exaggerated to be able to make such progress in just one day.

"Sure enough, Brother Xia Ruo's progress is so fast," the little master on the side watched this scene with obvious surprise in his eyes.

"Let me give it a try, it's different from what I did in the morning."

Xia Ruo started to burn the fire and fried the cut ingredients, in the same way as in the morning, the ingredients were almost no different except for the cut ingredients.

After Xia Ruo finished stir-frying and put it on the plate, the little master couldn't wait to step forward and taste it with chopsticks.

"Well, it's a lot better, it's made a lot of progress, Brother Xia Ruo," the little master looked at Xia Ruo and said with a smile.

Although the little master was complimenting, Xia Ruo always felt that what he meant was that it was still unpalatable, but it was better than before.

Xia Ruo picked up the chopsticks and tasted them.

Well?

Xia Ruo chewed gently, with a thoughtful look on her face.

"I feel that the taste is no different, but if I taste it carefully, there is still a little bit of change, and the taste becomes better when I eat it, and it does feel a little better."
