131 Home Cooking
"Then Xiaoyou will make a table of noodles as a dinner party, the materials are available in the kitchen, if Xiaoyou has other needs, you can also tell me."
Yang Heng is the kitchen manager, and he is in charge of everything in the kitchen, including the purchase of various materials.
And with the Cheng family's financial resources, whether it is abalone and ginseng wings, or other delicacies from the mountains and seas, it is really everything, anyway, other chefs are here, and they will never lack ingredients.
No matter how skilled Sheng Qingqing is, she is actually just an ordinary chef, and she doesn't plan to be in the limelight this time, so this dinner is actually very ordinary, and the materials needed are also common.
A table of dinner, not a banquet, no matter how luxurious it is, it will not go to more than a dozen dishes.
"Our young master, life is actually not extravagant, you can just make a few dishes." Yang Heng kindly reminded him.
For this kindness, Sheng Qingqing is self-reliant, but she is a little strange. What's the point of the word "we"? She just came to work part-time, not to sell to the Cheng family.
Sheng Qingqing only felt very strange in her heart, but fortunately, it was only a short-term emotion, and it quickly dissipated.
She smiled and said, "Yes, I wrote it down, thank you for the reminder." ”
In fact, she didn't plan to do much, first, tonight was just a small test, and she didn't have to work too hard. The second is that it is indeed not early. When she first came to Cheng's house before, there was still a remnant of the sunset on the horizon, but now that she looks at it, it has disappeared without a trace. If it drags on any longer, even if it is only a few dishes, I am afraid it will be a little difficult.
Thinking like this, Sheng Qingqing felt that she really couldn't delay any longer, so she rolled up her sleeves and walked to the nearest stove, ready to start working.
Today's dinner was just to try her skills, and Sheng Qingqing didn't think about tricks, and planned to cook a few home-cooked dishes.
Don't underestimate the home-cooked food, although the home-cooked dishes sound ordinary, they are all eaten on weekdays, and there seems to be nothing new, but in fact they are the most basic test of basic skills.
If it's those delicacies from the mountains and seas, maybe some people don't have the ability to eat, but everyone has the opportunity to taste home-cooked food, if there is a little mistake and omission and not comparable to the normal level, it will definitely be rejected by others.
Especially in a rich family like the Cheng family.
Not to mention anything else, in this back kitchen, not counting the assistant chefs and servants, just those chefs and masters don't know how many. And the so-called home-cooked dishes are naturally ordinary dishes, and they can cook them more or less. In other words, if Sheng Qingqing is cooking home-cooked food, she needs to compete with so many masters.
After all, the Cheng family invited her all the way over, how can you say that this skill is better than that of ordinary chefs, right?
Sheng Qingqing asked where the ingredients were stored, and then she was very skilled in choosing the ingredients.
Yang Heng had been following her, and he didn't know if he was at ease or out of pure curiosity. And Sheng Qingqing's process of choosing ingredients naturally did not hide it from him.
At first, he didn't have any opinions, just watched. Although Sheng Qingqing looks small and not very reliable, it can be seen from her method of selecting ingredients that she is a veteran of kitchen work.
If you are a novice, I am afraid that you will not even have a black eye on what ingredients are good for cooking.
But the ingredients were chosen, and after Sheng Qingqing had all the selections, Yang Heng felt that something was not right.
"This is ......" Yang Heng wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a long time before asking the doubts in his heart, "What are you going to do here?" ”
In fact, he already had eyebrows in his heart, after all, Sheng Qingqing chose only those few ingredients, which looked very simple, almost obvious at a glance, but because it was too obvious, he didn't dare to confirm it.
Yang Heng couldn't imagine that an eleven or twelve-year-old girl would be so bold.
However......
"I just want to cook a few home cooked dishes." Sheng Qingqing curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile.
It really is!
Yang Heng was completely shocked, and couldn't help but say: "Why can't you think about it so much, why don't you make your best dish?!" ”
Although it was only the first time he met Sheng Qingqing, inexplicably, Yang Heng loved this little girl very much, and judging from the selection of materials just now, Sheng Qingqing did not know how to cook, and there should be a few brushes in his hands. For people with real talent and real learning, Yang Heng didn't want her to fail in the end because of this small choice.
Seeing that Sheng Qingqing's face showed a little doubt, Yang Heng deliberately looked around, and saw that not many people were looking over, so he lowered his voice and said: "I don't know how many chefs there are in Cheng Mansion, and among them, I don't know how many can make good home-cooked food. ”
Sheng Qingqing's current body is only eleven or twelve years old, and outsiders look like a child.
And a child who is only in his early tens, even if he is talented, how can he compare to a seasoned chef? In addition to novel ideas, the most important thing is the cooking experience.
And now Sheng Qingqing looks too young.
Sheng Qingqing blinked, understanding what Yang Heng meant. In fact, if she were in Yang Heng's position, she would also be suspicious. Being a chef doesn't happen overnight. Even in modern times, when a person wants to become a chef when he is young, he must start as a chef, even if he is talented.
But the wonderful thing is that Sheng Qingqing only has the appearance of a child, her real soul is dozens of years old, and she has been in the back kitchen for more than ten years. And being able to become a senior chef is enough to show how solid her basic skills are.
It's just that these things are hard to say.
Sheng Qingqing thought about it, suddenly showed a mischievous smile, and said, "Thank you Yang for your concern, compared to basic skills, I am young, and I can't compare to the chefs." But the reason why Steward Cheng invited me here was not to let me compare with the chefs. Don't forget, I'm only here because of the new dish! ”
Yang Heng then remembered this......
Indeed, there is no shortage of chefs in the Cheng Mansion, and the big man has worked tirelessly to invite Sheng Qingqing because of her uniqueness.
Thinking of this, Yang Heng breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but in a blink of an eye, he became curious, "Since it's for your new dish, why don't you make it?" ”
Sheng Qingqing had already thought of the answer, and immediately explained: "How about my new dish, Steward Cheng and Young Master Cheng already know, and since today is a test for me, it is to test my basic skills, otherwise the new dish is novel and tastes bad, it will be a failure." ”
