Chapter 4 Culinary Skills Training

Liu's Jewellery has been established for more than 30 years and is known for its reputation in the industry. The current person in charge is Liao Xiyuan, the son of the Liao family. He received a report from the sales department yesterday, saying that a customer had jadeite materials in his hand and asked the company if he would accept it. Accept, of course. Now what every jewelry store lacks most is not the source of customers, but the source of goods. Once the stock is out of stock, the jewelry store will not be able to open, and what is the use of more customers. In addition, recently, he went to the scene of several new batches of jadeite wool, and none of the wool materials he voted for by himself were green, and the rest of the old acquaintances bought and untied on the spot, and there were no flowers. The luckiest thing is nothing more than a pineapple-sized bean seed. As a result, the price of jadeite skyrocketed instantly. This time, when he heard that a guest was willing to sell the jade materials on hand, Liao Xiyuan didn't say a word and responded on the spot, no matter how much the other party took out, he was willing to buy it at the market price.

The next day, as soon as the Liao's jewelry business department in the "Meihua" shopping mall opened, Liao Xiyuan was waiting there. It wasn't until after 10 o'clock that he saw a female student in her teens, carrying a schoolbag to the counter.

Xi Yizheng looked at the man opposite who had been staring at her for a long time, and guessed that this should be the person in charge of this counter.

"Uh, hello, I'm Liao Xiyuan from Liao's Jewelry, I heard from the staff yesterday that you want to sell jadeite materials?" Liao Xiyuan came back to his senses for a long time, thinking that he was in his 40s and staring at a female student for a long time, his old face was flushed. Fortunately, his face was darker, so he couldn't see it. He stretched out his hand and introduced himself to Xi Yizheng.

"Hello, my name is Xi Yizheng. A second-year student at Inglai Junior High School. Mr. Liao, are you sure you want to talk here? Xi Yizheng shook his hand with him and asked narrowly.

"Huh. Of course not. Inside please. Liao Xiyuan saw that she was so sure in her words, and he didn't dare to despise it. Hurriedly welcomed her into the manager's office in the middle room.

After sitting down, Xi Yizheng took out a piece of clear material directly from his bag, about the size of an adult man's fist, and handed it to Liao Xiyuan, who was beaming with a smile on his face.

This is the glutinous ice species Zhengyang Green Water Fei. As soon as Liao Xiyuan received it, he already recognized the water seed of this jadeite material. Although it is a little smaller, it is more than enough to make some pendants and rings. Although this piece of jadeite was not as good as the high-end goods he kept in the safe, it was more than a grade higher than those on the counter outside.

"What do you think?" Liao Xiyuan raised his eyes and asked Xi Yizheng.

Xi Yizheng raised his eyebrows, "You can make a price, and I will sell it if it suits me." "She is not stupid, although she doesn't know the price of jadeite materials, but she was also the president of the group in her last life, and she still has the aura of negotiating with others.

Liao Xiyuan didn't expect this girl to be so sophisticated. He groaned and said, "That's it, the first time you cooperate, I won't let you suffer, 200,000 at a price." ”

Xi Yizheng nodded. She doesn't understand the market. However, in her opinion, this is just scraps, and it can be exchanged for money. So, she took out another piece, the same size, the same glutinous ice species, but this piece is blue water. She raised her eyes to look at Liao Xiyuan, "What about this piece?" ”

Liao Xiyuan was stunned, but she didn't expect that she had more than one piece on hand. After taking the bright material, it is still good, but after all, the blue water is a little lower than the green water, "150,000." ”

Xi Yizheng nodded, and then took out another piece, this time it was a palm-sized piece of oil green jadeite, Xi Yizheng knew that the texture of this piece of jade was worse than the first two, because the aura was not as thick as the first two. But it's better than it, and if it's well designed, you can take out a pair of bracelets, and the rest can also be used to make some rings.

Sure enough, Liao Xiyuan's eyes lit up, and what he lacked most in the store was bracelets. "One price, 180,000."

Xi Yizheng nodded, "Just these three pieces." She originally prepared five yuan, but seeing that the price was selling quite well, she decided to sell three yuan for the time being. After all, he is still a student now, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble when he takes out so much jadeite.

Liao Xiyuan nodded in agreement, originally thought that she was just a piece, but later saw that she took it out one after another, and she couldn't sit still. Whose daughter, this is, so calmly took out three pieces of jade from the schoolbag that were already in their opinion, and they didn't even pack a box, and they didn't even wrap a silk scarf. Naked! Liao Xiyuan handed her a business card of his own, saying that if there was a jadeite, he could contact him at any time. Xi Yizheng nodded and accepted it. In case of poor capital turnover, you can ask him to sell some leftovers. At least this person is quite sincere, and she doesn't bother to look for another partner.

Money and goods are both in hand. In the second year of junior high school, she already had a temporary ID card, and she found her ex's temporary ID card in the iron box in the desk drawer yesterday, and Xi Yizheng went to the bank to apply for a bank card before she came. Give the card number to Liao Xiyuan and let him handle the transfer directly. I heard a voice prompt on the other end of the phone that 530,000 yuan had arrived. She squinted and smiled, waved to Liao Xiyuan, and left with her schoolbag.

The next day, Xi Yizheng went to the Culinary Training Center. I thought I would start with the basic course, but when I got to class, I found that the training course she applied for did not teach the basic course. Each class is about the dishes and recipes.

There were 30 participants in this class. Xi Yizheng came to the No. 11 table assigned to him, and checked the gas stove, induction cooker, and pots and pans of various sizes neatly arranged on the countertop according to the teacher's prompts. Then, she took out the magnetic card issued to her and swiped it at the swipe under the countertop, and it was ventilated and energized.

The morning class was actually about the seafood feast she had been salivating for a long time. The teacher first explained the various seafood varieties that are often eaten and how to choose them, and how to match them with other ingredients, and then began to operate with examples. Four common ingredients were selected: crab, prawns, grouper, and scallops, and the specific methods of steaming, braising and stewing each ingredient were explained in turn. Xi Yizheng listened with relish. This kind of class is not only cooking training, but also food appreciation. As she listened, she took down error-prone excerpts so she didn't forget. The teacher operated while talking, and talked about the four ingredients and practiced them one by one. The final class assignment for everyone is to choose a scallop method. It is estimated that scallops are cheaper. Xi pouted with a kite. She chose steamed scallops and steamed them with minced garlic and vermicelli. After finishing and grading the teacher's tasting, she scored 85 points, but the disadvantage was that she did not soak the scallops with rice wine and salt in advance. The three-and-a-half-hour session in the morning ended with a lively discussion.

After class, everyone went to the canteen of the training class to eat, and the class work became an addition to lunch. The afternoon class is still seafood, but it is about the western way of seafood, mainly the western way of making various sea fish and staple foods. I talked about several common marine fish, including salmon, tuna, sea bass, etc., and finally selected pan-fried sea bass for demonstration. Western cooking is simpler than Chinese cuisine, so Xi Yizheng is excited to try it when he goes home tonight. After that, he talked about the preparation of several seafood staples, and demonstrated the preparation of three main dishes: Western paella, seafood sushi, and seafood twist burger. After reading it, Xi Yizheng felt that although seafood sushi was simple to make, it should not be purely Western-style, but the other two kinds of seafood baked rice and seafood twist burger required too many types of seafood and side dishes, and the preparation time was too long, so she chose salmon sushi for class assignments, in fact, she preferred grilled eel sushi, she muttered. The score is not very high when it is done, because it is really not very technical. She thought indignantly: I must make an authentic Western-style paella when I go home.

After class, she swallowed the remaining two pieces of salmon sushi one by one, packed her backpack and prepared to go home. Seeing the six gods of the bowl of colorful seafood baked rice at the same table, she smiled in her heart.

The next day was Sunday, and Xi Yizheng decided to choose a few seafood dishes he learned yesterday to make for his family. Let them know that the money for her cooking training is really being used for it. So early in the morning, she went out, pretending to go to the market to buy vegetables, but in fact she entered the Xuanbang. I took a big bamboo basket and a few net bags from the storage room, teleported to the sea first, caught a few big crabs, picked more than 20 large scallops, a few catties of Jiwei shrimp, collected a bag of shells, and finally selected a grouper. Her favorite in her last life was grouper stew.

Then, she teleported to a half-acre vegetable field not far from Xuanyuan, which she had developed in her previous life. Because she found that the living environment in her previous life really couldn't be compared with Demon Martial Star, even the dishes she ate lost the taste of the dishes themselves. So, during the design bottleneck period, she nested in the Xuanbang and opened a plot to grow some common vegetables. As for meat, there are not too many species that used to be stocked in the bracelet but can now be regarded as game. So she didn't keep it alone anymore. Deciding to wait for the class to learn how to stew or barbecue, she came to hunt a few hares to try. It tastes good for sure.

When I came to the vegetable field, half an acre of land was covered with ripe vegetables and fruits, but there was no decay, and it was the freshest and most tender time. This is the greatest embodiment of the fresh-keeping function of the bracelet. I picked up small rape, spinach, cauliflower, snow peas, well, tomatoes and cucumbers, and saw that the vegetables in my hand were almost enough for the whole family to eat for a day, and went home while no one was around.

Xi's father and mother were surprised when they didn't see their daughter when they got up, and they saw that their daughter was back, with a big basket in their left hand and several mesh bags in their right hand. "Zheng, did you go grocery shopping early in the morning?" Xi's mother asked suspiciously. When did my daughter become so hardworking and go out to buy groceries on weekends without sleeping lazily?

"Well, didn't I learn all kinds of seafood yesterday? I'll make it for you today. Xi raised his chin triumphantly. Xi's mother smiled and shook her head. She didn't believe that she could cook so much seafood in one day. But if you don't believe it, since your daughter bought all the vegetables, don't let her do it for fear of dampening her enthusiasm.

So, after breakfast, Xi Yizheng was busy in the kitchen.

When it was almost noon, Xi Yixiao and Xi Yidi both went home. Xi Yidi's special training this week is over, and he will have a day off on Sunday. Xi Yixiao recently studied personnel management at Fang's Electronics, and in the afternoon because the personnel manager had a personal matter, he took the opportunity to go home to see his little sister's recovery. As a result, as soon as they returned home, they found that the surprise that Xi Yizheng brought them was too great.

Looking at the seafood feast on the table, the Xi family was stunned except for Xi Yizheng. This is made by their daughter (little sister)?

The crab is made into two types: steamed and fried rice cakes. Steamed crab is made by cutting the crab in half, smearing it with minced garlic and a pinch of salt, and then placing it on a plate and steaming. Then she found out that there were rice cakes at home, so she remembered that the crab recipe mentioned yesterday had crab fried rice cakes. When it comes to it, there are a lot of horizontal and vertical crabs. Jiwei shrimp made a sauce explosion, cut the back of the shrimp with a knife, dig out the shrimp intestines and wash them, then put them in the oil pan, and add the sauce. The scallops were still made into yesterday's class exercises, steamed with minced garlic and vermicelli. The grouper is a clear stew with lots of small shells and a sprinkle of coriander. The vegetables she used to know: shiitake mushrooms, spinach with garlic, stir-fried snow peas with diced bacon, sweet and sour cucumbers.

Eight dishes and one soup, because the soup bowl is very large, a table full of eight people.

"What's wrong?" Xi Yizheng brought the last plate of cold cucumber to the table, and when he saw the stunned crowd, he asked puzzledly.

"Zheng, did you really do this?" Xi Yidi was the first to speak.

"That's right. Didn't you see it when you came in? Xi Yizheng secretly rolled his eyes. Is it so exaggerated? I also completed it step by step according to the procedure taught by the teacher yesterday, and it took me half a day to figure it out.

"yes, but I'm still shocked." Xi Yidi muttered, and then began to eat. "Well, it's really delicious." Xi Yidi tasted a Jiwei shrimp and couldn't stop eating.

After the other three looked at each other, they all picked up their chopsticks, first picked out their favorite dishes and tasted a small bite, and felt that the taste was very good, so they began to feast.

Xi Yizheng looked at them funny, and his heart was still quite sweet. At least, her first feast was recognized. I also picked up my chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing Xi Yidi burping and slumped on the chair with a very unimpressive appearance, Xi Yizheng laughed "poof", "Little brother, how many times have you been hungry before?" Xi Yidi glanced at her sadly, "Although I am not hungry, how can I compare with the big meal you made." I really envy my parents, I can enjoy the craftsmanship of the zither every day. Xi Yixiao also nodded in agreement.

"Hey, stinky boy, we're just having a seafood dinner for the first time today." Xi's father vehemently denied it. Xi's mother also nodded in agreement: "It's not that Zheng Zheng knew that you were going to come back." Or are we rubbing your face? ”

Xi Yidi and Xi Yixiao disagreed. They didn't talk to their family when they came home today. Xi Yizheng said that he was very weak. She just wanted to consolidate yesterday's lesson and practice by the way. "You like to eat, I'll make it more often next time."

The other four looked at her brightly. "Well, I'll see that next time we will have a big meal every Sunday!" Xi's father concluded his statement.

The crowd readily agreed. Xi Yizheng also nodded in agreement. Classes are held on Saturdays and practice on Sundays. Very good.

In the evening, Xi Yizheng made a large portion of Western-style paella. Of course, the ingredients were chosen by her sneaking into the bracelet halfway. There are so many ingredients in Western paella that I have to take a list and pick one tick until I have all the ingredients I need. In addition, a pot of shell soup was stewed: a variety of clams with greens and mushrooms, delicious and refreshing. Eat so that the whole family can't keep their mouths together. And Xi Yizheng gave the bracelet a nickname: the vegetable garden he carried.
