Chapter 14: The Chef's Knife

"The chef's knife?"

Leng Mozhen didn't expect that he would be stumped by this question.

"If you don't stay in the kitchen all the time, the question can become, what is the chef's knife?"

Chen Nongnong actually didn't just accept Jing'er's entrustment, the proprietress Jing Fan also privately explained to her some matters that should be told yesterday, and what kind of knife an excellent chef should hold is one of them.

"The utensils used in eating include knives, forks, chopsticks, spoons, etc., but the tools used in cooking are mainly knives, and no matter what kind of vegetables and fruits you bring to the chef, you only have a knife." Chen Nongnong said.

During the period of growing from an ordinary apprentice to a junior chef, it is very important to shape the concept.

A junior chef usually has his own preconceived notions about cooking, an understanding of knives, an understanding of ingredients, and the requirements of the cooking environment, including the use of cooking equipment!

Therefore, Jing Fan and the others must let Leng Mo know what the meaning of holding the knife is before he wants to take the knife!

Leng Mo stayed for almost a minute, and after thinking about it, his eyes suddenly became resolute, and the time around the two of them froze in an instant, and then time seemed to flow slowly towards him, which surprised Chen Nongnong, where did he get his momentum?

"Chef, you are a knife, and if you look at what needs to be cooked from the perspective of a knife, you can find your own cooking techniques no matter what you are facing." He replied calmly.

Hearing this answer, not only Chen Nongnong, but also Jing Er and Jing Fan, who were eavesdropping in the distance, changed their eyes, and they probably knew the real reason why the chef would recommend it!

"What a confident apprentice." Chen Nonnong muttered a few words in his heart.

Leng Mo's heart was actually beating fast, and he took a breath and asked, "This is what I think about the knife at the moment." ”

Chen Nonnong nodded and said: "The concept is very good, there is no crookedness, many people will go astray when they are apprentices, thinking that as long as they can cook, it doesn't matter what method they use, and the kitchen knife is regarded as an ordinary tool, and finally when they reach the intermediate chef, they can not make progress in their lives, and we must cherish and learn from the road that our predecessors have walked." ”

"Yes." Leng Mo replied.

"Okay, don't use the knife you used to cut waste vegetables, there are some old knives in the cabinet in the upper left corner, you can pick one of them to use today." Chen Nongnong said.

"Okay, no problem."

Leng Mo went to pick out the kitchen knife, took a few breaths, and finally passed another level, for him, the pressure in the kitchen was ten times greater than that in the laboratory!

"Picked?" Chen Nonnong asked, staring at the knife in his hand.

He nodded, and picked up a short knife with rusty spots in both hands, but it seemed to have an aura.

Jing Fan, who was watching from a distance, frowned, it was the first knife she bought for Jing Er when she taught Jing Er.

"Did you mention a knife to him before?" Jing Fan asked.

"No, he actually chose the knife I used, and he has an extraordinary eye, and he deserves to be a confident apprentice." Jing'er said a little proudly, because Leng Mo was taught by her during this period.

"Nongnong teaches well." Jing Fan knew what his sister was thinking.

“......”

My sister saw through her thoughts, Jing'er was speechless, and she couldn't get proud for a while.

"Remove rust from that sink next door, don't tell me you won't." Chen Nonnong said that she remembered that Leng Mo finished reading Tiangong Kaiwu last week.

"Of course it will, go right away." Leng Mo replied.

He prepared a bowl of water, added baking soda, stirred into a white soda, picked up a brush and began to remove rust.

Wipe, brush, a bright kitchen knife as new to reappear brilliance!

"It's fast enough, but next time you can brush the waste vegetables."

Then, Chen Nonnong pointed to the box of tomatoes on the left side of the kitchen and said: "There are a total of 500 catties of meat tomatoes here, which is the number of ingredients we prepared in the morning. ”

"Understood." Leng Mo said, now he is eager to try.

"Wait a minute, eat the broken ones by yourself, it costs 100 catties to cut into pieces, 100 catties to cut into thin slices, 100 catties to chop into puree, and the remaining 200 catties to cut into petals, I don't care how you cut it." After Chen Nonongnong finished explaining, he began to prepare other materials.

Her sister Chen Nonnong would arrive a little later, and Jing Fan Jinger had other things to do, so there were only Leng Mo and Chen Nongnong left in the kitchen, and it was full of Chen Nongnong's knife sound.

After adapting to the quick sound of the knife, Leng Mo picked up the first meat tomato and smelled it.

Then he raised his spirit and raised the kitchen knife with his right hand: "Yonghan Eight Knives First Knife, Reverse Knife Chop!" ”

Reverse knife chop, after the knife comes out, instantly change the grip, reverse grasp the kitchen knife back to chop the ingredients!

This technique is extremely demanding, with enough dexterity and quick reaction time to allow the ingredients to be cut in the freshest condition.

Leng Mo turned his right hand, calculated the distance of slicing meat tomatoes, and flashed more than ten knives in the blink of an eye!

"Success!"

Wiping his sweat, he cut fresh ingredients for the first time in Ver Noodle Restaurant, and was able to perfectly slice the first meat tomato under great pressure, which was very fulfilling.

Chen Nonnong didn't marvel this time, his eyes flickered for a few seconds and he didn't look at it again.

Because even if the Yonghan Eight Knife is correct, but when it is actually used, the user can deeply understand the difficulty.

Jing Er in the distance clapped his hands and said, "It seems that I don't have a white sect, and my qualifications are acceptable." ”

"Go get busy, you will take care of all the things that will be purchased, and I have to deal with the aftermath." Jing Fan said.

"Found out the other party's identity?" Jing'er wanted to know why there was a troublemaker last time.

"There is a large corpse hunting group eyeing us, the strength is gold-level, the other party has more than three low-level corpse hunting groups, they have been unfavorable in the past year, and the replacement personnel are slowly weakening, so they turn to the trouble of various small restaurants, that corpse hunting group wants to build itself into a high-end ingredient supplier for small and medium-sized restaurants." Jing Fan was not surprised when she said the results of the investigation during this period, because she had also encountered this kind of self-defeating corpse hunting group before.

"How can the corpse hunting group have how many ingredients are supplied, it must be because the chefs in most restaurants are too weak and blackmail in disguise." Jing'er said with a hint of unhappiness.

"You're one step away from silver, and I'll let you have the power to protect yourself." Jing Fan assured.

"Hee-hee, my sister is the best for me!"

Jing Er happily put on his hat and went to the kitchen to collect today's goods, while Jing Fan disappeared on the street, and he didn't know where to run.

In the kitchen, Chen Nonnong snickered in his heart, but said to Leng Mo with a serious face: "The meat tomatoes are not easy to cut, you have thirty percent of the cuts, today's salary..." ”

"It's okay, not today."

Leng Mo sat on the ground sweating profusely, his right hand almost cramped, holding the ice cube and pressing it on his wrist, he found that he was underestimating the power of Yonghan's eight swords!

"I'll deal with the rest of the meat tomatoes, and if I've rested enough, I'll tidy up the outfield in ten minutes."

Chen Nonnong took over the sorting of the meat tomatoes, and she found that the jerky taste of the meat tomatoes was mixed with a strange smell, and the cold and bad parts still maintained the fragrance of fresh vegetables.

It is inevitable that all fruits and vegetables will lose some of their energy and flavor after the initial preparation.

She looked at the figure of Leng Mo who was busy walking to the outfield and said, "I have only seen a similar situation in the hands of the boss lady, Leng Mo, who are you?" ”
