Chapter 163: Slow Work Makes Careful Work

When the father and daughter went home, they could almost be regarded as a full load, and when they came out, the small wooden barrel they carried was filled with a full eight fish, not to mention using it to make fish balls, even if they were eaten alone, they could eat it for several days.

"Dad, you are really, I just let you try a little knife practice, but I didn't expect you to be addicted to this fish insertion, if it weren't for the fact that this small bucket really can't fit it, I guess you can still sit there for a day and a night!"

After bringing the fish home, Shui Yao didn't dare to delay for a moment, and began to teach Shui Daquan how to deal with it: remove fish scales, dig up fish gills, disembowel, change knives and pull out thorns, and pound into minced meat...... The action of flowing clouds and water was completed in one go, and the big carp that was still alive just now had been made into fish balls by Shui Yao in a blink of an eye, and it was not until the fragrance wafted up that Shui Daquan came back to his senses and found that he was still holding a knife in his hand, and he was a little overwhelmed.

"Yaoyao, you...... You're moving too fast, I just shook my eyes, and I couldn't see how you handled it. ”​

Shui Yao saw Shui Daquan's embarrassment at once, smiled slightly, and stepped forward to take down the knife in Shui Daquan's hand, and at the same time, while comforting, the work on his hand did not stop for a moment.

"It's okay, Dad, it's hard at the beginning, when I first cooked, I was also confused, not as good as you, I didn't even dare to cut potatoes at that time, I cooked too much, and now I'm not frying, steaming, cooking and frying?"

Watching Shui Yao take out a white porcelain bowl with a familiar way, then put all kinds of spices in the bowl, put fish balls and soup, sprinkle a little green onion and coriander, and the rich fresh fragrance suddenly makes people feel refreshed.

In fact, Shui Daquan is at a loss, Shui Yao is completely understandable, in their place, after getting married, men basically don't cook, since ancient times, there has been a saying that gentlemen are far away from cooking, and men lack talent in cooking. However, Shui Daquan can at least cook a porridge on a fire, and he can barely get through with a cold dish, which is many times stronger than those who have low eyes.

Thinking of this, Shui Yao took out another fish from the bucket and handed it to Shui Daquan.

"Try again!"

Shui Yao completely let go of the mind of showing off his skills this time, and began to deliberately slow down the steps, step by step to teach the skills of dealing with fish to Shui Daquan, learn the same, Shui Daquan did it well, and after a while, he mastered the essentials of killing fish, and then like a thirsty primary school student, he took a notebook and wrote down the things that Shui Yao taught.

has been busy for most of the day, after countless failures, when Shui Daquan brought the first bowl of finished products he made to Shui Yao, the obvious caution and anxiety on his face made Shui Yao suddenly have a feeling of being a master and having a long way to go.

"How's that...... Is the taste okay? ”

Picked up the spoon and gently scooped a fish ball, and ate the soup together, Shui Yao nodded slightly: The taste of this fish soup is roughly okay, after all, it is prepared in strict accordance with the ratio he said, and it tastes pretty much the same, but the moment the fish ball is entered, Shui Yao still frowned invisibly.

Just this time, it made Shui Daquan's heart that he had just put down rise to his throat again.

"Aren't fish balls delicious?"

Shui Daquan became nervous, obviously a big man, but his hands were in a mess behind his back, as if he was waiting for the verdict to be announced.

In the past, when there was fish at home, his daughter cooked it herself, not only tasted good, but even the fish bones were picked clean, but I didn't expect such an inconspicuous carp to be difficult to deal with in my hands, not only was it very slippery in my hand, but even because the fish bones were not clean, when chopping the minced meat, I pricked my hand several times.

"You can eat it, but ...... This whipped meat puree really lacks some strength and skill, although it is barely held into a ball, but the elasticity in the mouth is not enough, and it spreads out with a little mouth sip, just like a vegetative person with only skin and flesh and no bones, without a soul......"

When Shui Daquan heard this, the whole person seemed to be out of strength, and he fell on the chair, only to feel bitter in his mouth, and he couldn't lift his spirits. However, Shui Yao changed his words at this time, took a stone mortar and beat an egg in the remaining fish puree, then added a little starch, and turned clockwise.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, this pureed fish is a technical job, if you only rely on brute force, it will be too easy for others to learn, and in the future, the snack we finally came up with will be copied by others, so isn't it too worthwhile for us to waste it for so long?"

After Shui Yao finished speaking, he directly pulled Shui Daquan over, and taught him how to beat the meat puree in one direction, and said while beating.

"The most critical step in making fish balls is here, as long as we beat the meat puree well, what to do, whether it is to rub the balls or make fish fillets, it is absolutely delicious, if you learn to use it to make beef balls, pork slices and other kinds of food, then there will be no customers at all, besides, a good meal is not afraid of late, no matter what kind of good things it is, it must take a lot of effort and effort to make it."

In fact, the practice of fish balls like this is very common in the south, whether it is beef balls or fish balls and shrimp balls, if you want to pursue good taste and texture, the raw materials are indispensable, and the technique must not be sloppy at all. For example, Fujian people love to eat meat swallow, which is to beat pork into meat puree, although it is time-consuming and laborious, but the taste is not comparable to the meat filling that is generally chopped out with a knife.

After the carefully beaten meat puree is cooked in the pot, it is smooth and strong and full of elasticity, and with the seaweed and pickled pepper prepared in advance, the sour and spicy taste stimulates the taste buds, and the fresh and fresh makes people swallow the whole tongue immediately.

Shui Yao remembers that when he first started to learn cooking, he had always had a headache about the kind of mutton and beef that was half frozen and half melted, and the meat was frozen to such an extent that it was actually the most difficult to cut into thin slices, and the cut meat was attached to the plate, and the plate must be straightened up, and the meat would not fall down, which was basically qualified.

Although after a long period of practice, it is not difficult for Shui Yao to cut out such a qualified meat slice, but when it comes to the actual operation, once he goes to the backstage to help the cook, the cut meat slice is not up to the speed of the customer's ordering, even if his skills are skilled, he can cut all day long, and he can only cut out seventy or eighty catties of meat.

But even if there was a special meat cutting machine later, after investigation, Shui Yao found that the gourmets' favorite is the real hand-cut beef and mutton, even if it takes a lot of effort, but it can maintain the original freshness of the meat to the greatest extent.

This is just like what her mentor said at that time about cutting meat and making wine, it takes several years for the authentic chrysanthemum white to be brewed and unsealed, and the longer the wine is buried in the ground, the more mellow the taste becomes when you taste it.

Thinking of this, Shui Yao went back to the house and took out all the money he had saved during this time and put it on the table.

"Dad, don't be in a hurry about making fish balls, there are still a lot of fish left in our family, and when I leave tomorrow, you can practice well, but after you quit your job, there will be no guarantee for your family's life." This money was saved when I went to sell potato chips some time ago, although it is not a lot, but it can last two or three months, and you can take it first and then you can respond to emergencies. ”​

Looking at so many bits and pieces of tickets in front of him, Shui Daquan's nose was sour, and for the first time, he felt that his age was so unhelpful, and he refused to accept anything, seeing that the father and daughter were going to confront each other again, Shui Yao was very helpless, so he had to be patient and persuade slowly.

"You just take it, anyway, you still need to buy some pots and pans with the money you saved before, you don't have to have any pressure, just as if I have entered the stocks, when there is something going on in this business, you can't just go your own way, you have to discuss with me."

Although Shui Daquan is upright and honest, the shortcomings are also obvious: that is, the ears are soft, Shui Yao is very worried that when Shui Daquan comes out to do business, once he makes some money, he will attract the old lady Shui or Yu Xiaoqin, who will be beaten to death.

Although Shui Daquan was a little confused about the concept of shareholding that Shui Yao said, after his daughter's explanation, he was a little eyebrows: it is undoubtedly equivalent to this business that he and Shui Yao jointly financed, and both of them are bosses, which is undoubtedly the best result for Shui Daquan. So, without saying a word, he immediately wrote a note. This serious appearance made Shui Yao feel a little funny.

"Yaoyao, then the two of us will decide, and this money will be borrowed from you by Dad...... No, it's you who have a stake, and when the time comes, the two of us will share the income equally, and we will discuss it together when we encounter any major things, okay, Boss Shui? ”

Shui Daquan's teasing tone made Shui Yao can't help but raise his eyebrows: "It's easy to say, Boss Shui, my brother still settles accounts, no one's money is blown by the wind, and our father and daughter are no exception." You just take the money and do it, I'll be responsible for providing the technology, and as for the benefits, you can just talk about it regularly. After all, you are still the big boss in this business, I don't have much effort except to use my mouth, I am a technical director, you are the big boss, where do I dare to take Qiao in front of you? Besides, in the future, I will depend on you for food and clothing! ”
