Next to him was a young cook, seeing Lin Xiaozhu's young and beautiful appearance, although he didn't have any dirty thoughts, it was also a pleasure to be able to work with a beautiful girl. Therefore, when he is busy, he pays attention to Lin Xiaozhu's cooking. At this time, I was also surprised to see Lin Xiaozhu's dazzling fast knife. I didn't care if the shopkeeper would say that he was lazy, so he stretched out his head to look at the cutting board, and when he saw the mushrooms as thin as hair, he couldn't help but praise: "What a beautiful knife skill." ”

When the other cooks heard this, they all looked up curiously. Seeing the shredded mushrooms that the shopkeeper Yu had reached out to pick up, all of them opened their mouths wide.

These folk cooks all follow the chef as apprentices, slowly starting from chores, and then they start to use knives and spoons, and finally go to the stove. Usually the kitchen is busy and there are a lot of chores, where can you practice basic skills for a long time like Lin Xiaozhu and them? In addition, what Yuan Tianye wants to cultivate is a chef who can be selected by a wealthy family, and his cooking skills are naturally much higher than that of folk cooks. Lin Xiaozhu is also the leader of the cooking class, and his kung fu is even higher than others. Therefore, as soon as her knife skills came out, she naturally dazzled the eyes of these folk cooks.

Lin Xiaozhu in the villa through the basic skills, often have to compete with other groups of people, is used to being noticed, at this time although everyone's eyes are on her, she doesn't care at all, seeing the water in the pot boiling, then put the chicken breast meat in the water to cook, and then put the shredded mushrooms into the bowl, add some chicken broth, and put it in the steamer to steam. Immediately afterward, she cut the bamboo shoots, cooked ham and lettuce into thin strips.

This time, those who hadn't seen her cut shiitake mushrooms were eye-opening. Seeing that she had cut winter bamboo shoots, cooked ham, lettuce leaves and shiitake mushrooms into even shreds the size of a hair in the blink of an eye, they all cheered: "Good knife technique." ”

One of the cooks glanced at the desk and said, "Girl, you have all these things." Do you have to cut them into thin strips? ”

Lin Xiaozhu raised his head and smiled: "Exactly." ”

"This tender tofu is also going to be cut into the size of a hair?" The cook's voice changed.

Before Lin Xiaozhu could answer, a cook laughed. Help her deny: "How is it possible? Lao Luo, you don't use your brains before asking! Tender tofu wants to be cut like hair, unless the gods descend to earth. ”

Lin Xiaozhu took out the steamed shredded mushrooms from the steamer and brushed the pot clean. Scooped some chicken broth into it and added some firewood. Looking back and smiling, "I really want to cut the tofu into thin strips." ”

"What?" Everyone was taken aback.

"No...... It won't still be so fine, right? Lao Luo stammered and asked.

Lin Xiaozhu was about to speak, but he heard an angry shout: "What are you all doing here?" When I looked up, I saw a man in his fifties, with a fat head, big ears, and a fat body, staring at this direction.

A cook hurriedly put down what he was doing, ran over, nodded and smiled, "Chef Wu." Are you out? Tired, tired, tired. Come, rest, see that the little one specially brewed almond tea for you, and the heat is just right. ”

As if he hadn't seen Shopkeeper Yu, Chef Wu sat down on a stool that a chef had moved, picked up the cup of almond tea, took a sip, and shouted coldly: "Why don't you do things well, what are you doing here?" ”

This Chef Wu saw Shopkeeper Yu as if he didn't see it. The words spoken are more majestic than the shopkeeper. In doing so, where did he put Shopkeeper Yu? Lin Xiaozhu sighed secretly. looked up at Shopkeeper Yu and found that his face was very ugly. In addition to sympathy, I was secretly happy in my heart. Chef Wu is proud of his talents. Even the shopkeeper didn't pay attention to him, and the shopkeeper Yu was dissatisfied with him, so her duck recipe could be sold at a good price!

Seeing that Chef Wu was unhappy, the cooks hurriedly explained: "This little girl, the knife skills are really good, we just came over to take a look, I don't want to alarm Chef Wu, guilty of sin." Please don't mind Chef Wu. ”

"What little girl?" Chef Wu turned his head, glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, snorted in his nose, and was about to speak, Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly blessed him, smiled sweetly, and said, "Xiaolin greets Chef Wu." I just quarreled with Chef Wu, it's all Xiaolin's, and I ask Chef Wu to forgive me. ”

Seeing that this little girl was clean, her smile was very sweet, and her eyes were like the crooked moon, which was very attractive; The words that come out are also very ironing. Chef Wu's sarcastic words swallowed again, nodded and said, "Well, do things well." ”

"Yes, thank you Chef Wu for your teaching." Lin Xiaozhu saluted again, and then stood up. In the blink of an eye, Shopkeeper Yu's face became even darker. She pretended not to see it, put a few pieces of silk in the pot, boiled them with salt and a little sugar, ticked the knots, and put them in a large bowl.

Although this Chef Wu hates it, if he gets into trouble with him, he will be the happiest shopkeeper. Because no matter what price she offers, she can only sell him the recipe. She was angry with Chef Wu, but she was profited by Shopkeeper Yu, so she was not so stupid.

Since Chef Wu was kind to Lin Xiaozhu, these cooks looked at Lin Xiaozhu again when they were busy. Everyone is really curious, the tender tofu, but it will break when it is hit, and it will be sliced into even slices, and it requires a certain amount of knife skills, and ordinary people can't do it at all. Is it possible that this little girl is going to cut it to the size of a hair, and to break it all and more?

Lin Xiaozhu doesn't care what these cooks think. She picked up the tofu, poured it clean, and then calmed down, divided a piece of tofu into three layers, one layer is only one centimeter high, and then cut layer by layer, the knife continued to jump up and down quickly, a puff, from beginning to end, at this time the tofu into a very thin sheet, and then use the blade flat to shovel up the tofu slices, hold the knife with the right hand, so that the knife surface is slightly inclined, use the left hand to water the tofu slices several times, so that the tofu slices are separated, and then gently push the tofu slices from the knife surface into the cutting board, and then hold their breath, the knife continues to jump up and down quickly until the cut is finished, Gently pour the shredded tofu into the water bowl and shake it, and thousands of hair-thin tofu shreds are revealed. During the whole process, she was calm and calm, the knife rose and fell, and the knife became the wind, like flowing water, in one go.

The originally noisy kitchen became silent at this time, and the seven or eight cooks all opened their mouths wide, looking at Lin Xiaozhu, their eyes were all wide open, and they couldn't believe their eyes. is the dragging Chef Wu, and he is no exception.

It's shocking.

I've never seen such amazing knife skills!

And such a knife skill turned out to be from the hands of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl!

Seeing everyone's stunned appearance, Lin Xiaozhu still felt a little proud in his heart. She put the shredded tofu into the boiling chicken broth, and when the shredded tofu floated on the soup noodles, she scooped it up with a colander and put it into the large soup bowl that originally contained all kinds of shreds. After doing this, she shrugged her nose and looked around, "What smell?" ”

"Ah, my dish." A scream woke everyone up from the shock. A cook, all the dishes are burned.

"Okay, Wensi Tofu, Shopkeeper Yu, Chef Wu, you can try it." Lin Xiaozhu put the bowl in the middle of the desk.

At this time, Shopkeeper Yu couldn't care about getting angry with Chef Wu, and kept following Lin Xiaozhu's big soup bowl. I saw that in the delicate soup bowl, thousands of strands of tofu shreds as thin as hair seemed to float in it, light, white, delicate, and dotted with some ivory-yellow shredded winter bamboo shoots, shredded chicken breasts, green shredded greens, red shredded ham and black shredded shiitake mushrooms. Colorful and beautiful.

Lin Xiaozhu took a stack of small bowls, scooped each bowl with a spoon, scooped a spoonful, handed it to everyone present, and said, "Don't just look at it, taste it." ”

The knife skills are so powerful, I don't know how delicious the food should be. Everyone thought excitedly, took the bowl, and didn't care about the heat, blew twice, and scooped a spoonful into their mouths. The first thing that comes into your mouth is the shredded tofu, which is tender and smooth, melts in your mouth, and the soup is mellow and nourishing, with an endless aftertaste. Before everyone came to their senses, it had reached their stomachs comfortably. When I reminisce, I can't help but applaud again and again. When you want to look for the taste again, the next variety of silk will shine on the stage, fragrant, crisp, fresh, suddenly fill every corner of the mouth, combined with the mellow chicken soup, in the mouth to form a wonderful music.

"Yes, yes! I had never seen such sword skills in the palace before, and I had tasted such delicious soup. Chef Wu couldn't help but shout loudly.

Shopkeeper Yu also forgot about the grievances with Chef Wu at this time, nodded approvingly, and said, "I have eaten delicious food for decades, and every day can be regarded as an eye-opener. ”

An old cook shook his hand, pointed to the big soup bowl and said, "Girl, when this tofu is cooked, it sinks into the soup base." How do you get them all floating on the noodle soup? ”

Everyone stared at Lin Xiaozhu, hoping to know this secret from her mouth.

Lin Xiaozhu smiled lightly and said, "I'm sorry, I can't say." ”

In fact, this is a Huaiyang dish, and the most important thing is knife skills. If you don't have sword skills, even if you know how to do it, it's in vain. So when she did it just now, she didn't avoid everyone. Everyone has seen the recipe for this dish. She first thickened it with wet starch and then put in the shredded tofu, so that the shredded tofu could be evenly distributed in the container, floating in it as if it were sinking and floating. If you don't even want to use this kind of brain, and only patronize and ask others, and pick up ready-made, such a cook will not have much future.

"Come, Miss Lin, let's talk outside." Shopkeeper Yu rubbed his hands, his face was full of red light, compared with when he first entered the kitchen, he was like a different person.

In his mind, even a tofu can make such a quality and taste, and the duck's method must be exquisite. It's not difficult to suppress Chef Wu. He hadn't negotiated the price yet, and he was ready to buy the recipe. The wool came out of the sheep, and he could earn a few thousand taels for a few hundred taels of silver to buy recipes. He will still calculate this account. (To be continued)
