Chapter 14 Knife Mouth Tofu Heart

An Xiaoxi's special culinary training continued.

The devil trainer Qiao Wenhan personally went into battle, keeping the Qiao Mansion busy. It became common to prepare ingredients and tools overnight, and An Xiaoxi silently felt that everyone's eyes had changed when they looked at her.

It's not as kind as before.

Probably she is the same as the women who came to Qiao's Mansion before, making people busy and making people suffer.

On another Friday, Qiao Wenhan rushed back non-stop after dealing with the company's affairs to arrange An Xiaoxi's tutoring plan.

Today is the special training of knife workers, and the master of Huaiyang cuisine was invited from Yangzhou to personally guide An Xiaoxi.

Although An Xiaoxi's knife skills are good, he belongs to the class in front of such a famous teacher. Fortunately, the old master looked very kind and kind, and An Xiaoxi was relieved.

"What knife techniques do you know?" The master took a sip of tea.

"On the knife method, Huaiyang cuisine is the most outstanding of the eight major cuisines, just say the plane knife in the long fish knife method, there are butterfly flower knife, barrel flower knife, pu stick flower knife, acacia flower knife, twist flower knife, string flower arrangement knife, fish scale flower knife, chrysanthemum flower knife, walnut flower knife, lychee flower knife, ten thousand pages flower knife and more than a dozen kinds of knife ......"

An Xiaoxi talked eloquently, and Qiao Wenhan saw it in his eyes. originally thought that this little girl was only three minutes hot, but it seems that she really likes cooking and has a bit of a foundation.

"Then which dish do you think best represents the knife work of Huaiyang cuisine?" The old master asked with a smile.

"What can represent Huaiyang kitchen knife workers is three sets of duck with bone-breaking vegetables, and Wensi tofu," An Xiaoxi replied respectfully.

Although she had heard of this Wensi tofu a little, she had never eaten it, let alone made it. I just know that cutting lactone tofu into hair-thin shreds requires a lot of wrist control.

"Okay, looks like we've done some homework. I'll take you to practice Wensi Tofu today. ”

After that, the restaurant has already set up the cutting board knives. I saw that the master first drenched the blade with water. In the palm of your hand, use a knife to cut the whole lactone tofu into 2-3 cm thick slices from the middle.

Take one slice of tofu and cut it into thin slices first. The master's left hand retreats evenly, and the right hand advances rhythmically.

A crisp sound sounded on the cutting board, and the master poured water on the back of the knife from time to time to keep the knife surface moist.

Finally, put the shredded tofu in the water and slowly moisten it.

The time has come to witness the miracle.

The hair-thin shredded tofu blooms in the water and turns into a chrysanthemum shape when stirred with chopsticks. Complemented by shredded carrots and kelp, the result is a delicate and ultimate dish.

An Xiaoxi was completely stunned, and admired the master's knife skills.

This dish is extremely testing of knife work, and you can't go to class without three or five years of hard work. It is estimated that it will take more than 20 years to reach the level of master.

So when it was An Xiaoxi's turn to practice, she was in a nervous mood.

Wow...... Oh, hesitant to go under the knife, there is no sense of one-go that the master demonstrates.

The more you cut it, the more urgent it is, and the tofu slicing process will not go well.

turned to shreds, and looked at Qiao Wenhan next to him who was using his mobile phone to deal with business, with an expression of indifference.

made An Xiaoxi a little easier.

The servants of the Qiao Mansion, the senior chef, and the hired Qiao Wenhan who arranged for her to study.

Every pair of eyes is a layer of pressure, and at this time, I really hope that everyone can be as indifferent as Qiao Wenhan.

Sure enough, when the finished product came out, it was rough and messy, and An Xiaoxi was a little frustrated and a little upset.

At this time, the old master saw some clues and told An Xiaoxi, "You better practice again tomorrow, your heart is not calm enough today." ”

"Wensi Tofu tests the chef's control of the knife and his ability to deal with it without being surprised. Even if there are thousands of troops rushing outside, the chef must remain unmoved and abandon distractions. ”

The master said slowly, sentence by sentence. But for An Xiaoxi, it is the most difficult to get rid of distracting thoughts at present.

She naturally likes to fantasize, and she is prone to desertion when doing things. For example, if you stay with your beloved, run a small private food shop or something, it's easy to get distracted.

In addition, he came to Qiao's Mansion with selfishness, wanting to use Qiao Wenhan's power to help him realize his dream of becoming a chef. The relationship is contradictory and complex.

Therefore, when An Xiaoxi cut tofu, he especially wanted to suppress other distracting thoughts, and deliberately suppressed distracting thoughts, but there were more distracting thoughts.

To be a great chef, you have to have a strong focus. But with so many distracting thoughts put together, An Xiaoxi was indeed a little unable to cope with it.

Take a deep breath and puff...... The sound of a clatter sounded again.

Still not going well, how can An Xiaoxi be calm?

At this time, the old master suddenly spoke, "Mr. Qiao, can you avoid it first?" ”

An Xiaoxi and Qiao Wenhan looked at the old master at the same time.

What does this master want to do?

"She's already seen you a hundred and eighty times when she's chopping vegetables, and if you don't leave, she won't be able to concentrate."

Qiao Wenhan picked up his coat and was about to go to the living room.

An Xiaoxi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the corner of him, her cheeks flushed.

"Don't get me wrong, you're my employer, and you've arranged these trainings, I'm afraid I'm not ...... if I don't perform well."

An Xiaoxi pouted and explained, but the more he depicted, the darker and darker.

Qiao Wenhan pursed his lips and whispered in her ear, "No misunderstanding"

An Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there was no misunderstanding, otherwise Qiao Wenhan would have thought that An Xiaoxi was still secretly in love with him.

"It's not been a day or two since you spied on me. I advise you to be honest. ”

An Xiaoxi was a little angry. As soon as he was angry, Qiao Wenhan always spoke ambiguously like this, full of teasing, and his heart was not calm enough, which made it even more difficult to practice Wensi Tofu.

What's more important is how Qi himself unconsciously peeked at Qiao Wenhan.

It has become a subconscious habit.

One hundred and eighty times.

After practicing wielding a knife for an hour, An Xiaoxi's hands were about to be scrapped.

Qiao Wenhan respectfully sent the chef away to accept An Xiaoxi's practice results today.

"The thickness is uneven, the shape is ugly, and even the length is different, so you have to train for seventy or eighty years to become a chef."

An Xiaoxi thought that Qiao Wenhan's specialties and hobbies should be satirical people. What's the point of being a teacher after seventy or eighty years! I was so tired that I couldn't lift my hands, and the employer didn't have a word of comfort.

Sure enough, as the name suggests, people are as ruthless as a vast ocean, often blowing hurricanes and typhoons to plague the mainland.

In the dead of night, all the servants had fallen asleep.

There was a rustling, popping sound in the kitchen.

It's An Xiaoxi, who is still staying up late to practice.

Wearing slippers, an apron, and a headscarf in his hair, he was obviously unwilling to decide to practice after going to bed.

Suddenly...... A pair of hands from nowhere touched her waist.

An Xiaoxi was so frightened that she threw the knife out, and the snow-white tofu was dyed with other colors.

"Blood!"
