"At that time, I was very ignorant, and Chef He didn't like change very much, but there were still many people who liked it, so I didn't understand this sentence very well. Shouldn't a good taste be made further? Why does it have to change? ”

"Ah Gong said, 'Because people are always changing.' ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yao turned to look at Jiang Yu, "I didn't understand until you came." ”

Jiang Yu was a little stunned, pointed at himself blankly, and hesitated a little: "Me? What's wrong with me......"

Chen Yao laughed out loud when she saw her like this, "Because you brought about a change." You made me suddenly understand that good taste can't be set in stone, some people miss the old, and some people like new things. ”

Hearing Chen Yao's words, Jiang Yu seemed to have just known her - she was always giggling on weekdays, occasionally because Yang Xuan became a bit of a love brain, and occasionally because she was a gluttonous cat, she rarely expressed some opinions so seriously.

Jiang Yu didn't speak for a long time, Chen Yao saw that she hadn't spoken, and shook her hand in front of her, "Hey, come back to your senses!" ”

Jiang Yu pursed his lips, "I ......"

Chen Yao seemed to know what she was going to say, took the initiative to take her hand, and looked at her seriously with a pair of round eyes, "I know that you have been unhappy recently because of Baiweiju, but I think you have brought a lot of changes to Xiangmanyuan, everyone is much happier than before, and there are many more smiles on Daddy's face." Everything is going in a good direction. ”

"But I'm ......" Jiang Yu paused, and a sense of guilt suddenly surged in her heart, as if she didn't deserve such a high evaluation.

Chen Yao pinched Jiang Yu's face, "No wonder you always like to pinch my face, it feels so good......"

Jiang Yu was amused all of a sudden.

Seeing Jiang Yu laughing, Chen Yao withdrew his hand and continued: "It's actually okay, occasionally some, well, how to say it, it's normal to be imitated and then lose." Ah Gong said, 'You have to believe in the food you make'. ”

This sentence strangely coincides with the words of the modern master.

***

Jiang Yu remembered her apprehension when she finished tasting the food for the first time, the master tasted two bites at that time, and didn't say a word, she was the only girl in the group of disciples at that time, and when she saw this, she stood in place uneasily.

The modern master asked her, "Do you think you are doing well?" ”

She lowered her head and muttered, "I think...... Like, not so good. ”

The master was expressionless, just looked at her, and asked, "Then you don't think it's good, why do you want to give it to me to taste?" ”

"I'm ......" Jiang Yu lowered his head even harder, not knowing what to say.

Because she was one of the youngest of the three and a girl, the surrounding brothers and sisters also let her, looking at Jiang Yu's aggrieved appearance, she couldn't help but help: "Master, Jiang Yu is still ...... young."

The master frowned and stared at them, "Xiao Qi and her are much more confident than her in a year!" What's wrong with being young?! ”

"She's a girl after all...... Master, be gentle......" another senior brother spoke.

The master's tone became more serious, "So what? She's a girl, shouldn't the demands on her be weakened? When a customer tastes it, will she back down because she is a girl? No! ”

Jiang Yu's tears kept rolling in her eyes, she bit her lip tightly to prevent herself from crying, yes, her parents divorced, her mother was seriously ill, she gave up studying to study art in order to make a living, here, she felt the feeling of being cared for for a long time......

Senior brother and junior brother also often help her, and often say that you are a girl so heavy that I will help you, or what, junior sister, you wait, come and I'll try it first......

Gradually, she returned to the time when she had not experienced the "broken family", and she would cry and make trouble.

It's just that occasionally I will be trained by the master, but the master is also a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and he still loves them very much. She is also very talented - she has a keen sense of taste and smell, and she learns things quickly, so she can be regarded as having an easy life.

It's just that today, the master suddenly checked their "homework" and said that everyone had practiced the basic skills for at least two months, and now it was time to test, and each of them needed to make a finished dish with all the color and flavor.

The senior brothers comforted them and said that this was the master's rule, and they would be randomly inspected once every few months, sometimes for a month, sometimes for three months. Don't worry too much, as long as you do everything you have learned seriously, the master will not blame.

Jiang Yu didn't feel it at first, but when he did it later, he was in a hurry, either he overfried a lot of fish, or when he cut it, there were some mistakes that he shouldn't have - he cut off the silk, and finally had to give up the squirrel guiyu he wanted to make at the beginning, but just hurriedly changed it to another simple dish, and replaced it with three fresh radish rolls.

The simpler the dish, the more seasoning and details are required, so the most difficult part is also the seasoning and how to cut the radish slices thin without cracking, so that they are thin and tough enough to wrap the filling.

Jiang Yu's knife work is actually okay, although her strength is not as good as that of boys, but it is also much stronger than ordinary girls, so when contacting knife workers, she will not easily feel tired.

But at this time, she had already scrapped a plate of squirrel cinnamon fish, and the master set the time, compared to other senior brothers and disciples, she was already behind I don't know how much.

This was the first "homework", Jiang Yu suddenly realized that she seemed to have neglected something in front of her, or she suddenly derived a huge panic and regret.

She remembered her mother's eager and expectant gaze, and the more nervous she became, the more unable she was to calm down and do it well. Jiang Yu even had a ridiculous idea, could it be that if she didn't pass this exam well, she wouldn't be able to continue studying with the master.

The master was very good to her and waived part of the fee; The senior brother and younger brother are also very good to her, they take care of her very much on weekdays, know that she is in difficulty at home, take the initiative to help her lift heavy objects or something, and even come to see her mother.

The more he thought about it, Jiang Yu's hand couldn't help but tremble, and the thin slice under his hand instantly lost its smoothness and became pothole-thin at one end and thick at the other.

She took a few deep breaths and cut it again, but the next few pieces were still rough, and even one or two looked like she had just cut them out.

She sniffed hard, trepidation in her heart.

The senior brother next to her noticed that something was wrong with her, and ran to her side and whispered, "What's wrong, Jiang Yu?" ”

"No, it's fine." Jiang Yu didn't dare to raise her head, for fear that she would cry, so she replied angrily.

Jiang Yu was about to take a new radish and cut it a few more times, but the senior brother took the first step to pick up the radish slices in the bowl, flipped it left and right, frowned slightly, and glanced at Jiang Yu cautiously, as if he was thinking about how to speak.

And Jiang Yu, holding the knife, the knife hung above the radish, and she didn't cut it for a long time - she had already cut two turnips.

The senior brother looked at it and comforted her, "It's okay, Jiang Yu, it's normal to be nervous for the first exam." ”

No, it's not normal, Jiang Yu lowered her head and didn't speak, those failed radish slices, she couldn't deceive herself......

The senior brother saw that she didn't speak, and it was estimated that she didn't think about it all of a sudden.

Seeing that Jiang Yu wanted to go under the knife but didn't dare to do it, the senior brother thought about it and tentatively suggested, "What are you going to do?" Is this radish thinly sliced to wrap something? Why don't you do the other parts first? ”

Jiang Yu nodded in a sullen voice and began to adjust the filling, the filling was very simple.

Remove the shrimp from the line and puree. Then chop the fungus and carrots, take out a clean bowl and put all the fillings in it, then add minced green onion and ginger, salt, soy sauce, Sichuan pepper powder, sesame oil, and mix well.

Jiang Yu took the back of the spoon and nodded, put it on the tip of his tongue and tasted it, a little less salty, added a little salt and a small half spoon of chicken essence, and at the same time remembered something, added a little dry starch, and stirred it well.

The senior brother next to him also tasted the taste twice with chopsticks, carefully distinguished, and was a little unsure, "It seems to be more delicious." ”

Jiang Yu snorted, "There was a little bit of taste just now, and I just added a little dry starch, so I have to make up a small spoonful of water to neutralize it." ”

Senior Brother couldn't help but sigh, "If only I had a sensitive taste like yours." ”

Jiang Yu tasted the last taste, was satisfied, and laughed when he heard the words, "Senior brother is also very good." "This senior brother does not have a particularly outstanding item, but just every item is done well, the master often says, the senior brother is just a little bit of aura, but it is good, you can make up for it with hard work, and it will not be a problem to open a restaurant to support yourself in the future.

Jiang Yu is also very envious, if he can open a small restaurant in the future, earn a penny, and then accompany his mother to recuperate, it will be very good. She doesn't have any special pursuits, she just hopes that her mother will be healthy and can live her little life with peace of mind.

The senior brother patted her on the shoulder, pretending to exaggerate: "Finally smiled, it's okay, take your time." ”

"Thank you, senior brother......" Jiang Yu whispered.

The senior brother waved his hand and turned back to see if his soup base was ready.

Jiang Yu re-came out of the radish, this time she cut it a little thicker, so that she could better control the force, although the radish slices may not be as beautiful as the thinner ones, but it can ensure that there are fewer mistakes, I hope the master will not dislike her knife work.

She blanched the sliced radish in boiling water, then cooled it and drained it again, and the boiled radish slices were somewhat translucent, and some of the lines could be faintly seen.

Then, Jiang Yu put the mixed three-fresh stuffing on the radish slices and rolled them up at both ends. Because the radish slices are a little thicker, they are fixed with a toothpick to prevent them from falling apart.

Finally, roll all the radish slices, stack them on a plate and steam them on a steamer for a few minutes.
