"The stove in the kitchen is no better than the small stove at home, the leeks are early, and the pho and beef are old,"

"What if you have the strength to turn the pot two or three times, do you only use salt and soy sauce to flavor your cooking?"

"It's a good thing that the knife is good and the cutting is fast, and the procedure of beef over oil cannot be less, you catch the castration and add too much cornstarch, and eat it like eating tamales."

The above is the iron triangle of the kitchen of the tea restaurant, and the three chefs Lao Li, Lao Kong, and Lao Ding gave their evaluations after tasting the dry fried beef river made by He Shan.

Xiao Guo snickered heartlessly on the side, for many reasons, one of which was that when he first came to work in the tea restaurant, his position was in the back kitchen, and later he was transferred to work as a waiter making milk tea, making coffee and making lemon tea.

"It's not bad, I think it's okay." He Shan lowered his head with an embarrassed face, he just made a stack of dry fried beef river for himself to eat as a supper, you don't go home after work, what are you doing with chopsticks.

He Shan originally wanted to get through it and forget it, after all, the three of them are all chefs, and they are more professional in cooking than themselves. But who knows what the next words will make him feel worse than someone who died!

"Your grandfather started with pots and spoons, and he worked up step by step to open his own restaurant as the owner, no matter how bad your father was, he also learned your grandfather's seven or eight successes and became a chef here."

"We're all three years old, we can't help you for many years, and the tea restaurant will have to rely on you in the future......"

"We were all called out by your grandfather, but if your grandfather had eaten this thing, his old man would definitely tear down the sign at the door!"

After the kitchen iron triangle finished speaking, he called it a day and went home, leaving He Shan alone to be in a daze with a stack of killed Niu He, so that Xiao Guo, who wanted to take a hitchhike home, was bored and had to play with his mobile phone to pass the time.

Man Hon House in Wan Chai

He Shan sat from morning to evening, from morning tea to supper.

"Young man, you've been sitting all day, just talk about something." The boss Ou Zhaofeng asked the guy to sit down after work and said.

He Shan went straight to the point, "Boss, I want to worship you as a teacher and learn to cook with you." ”

Ou Zhaofeng smiled: "Young man, you won't mean to joke with me, right?" Cooking is a tiring job, you are so handsome, it is more than enough to be a star, why do you have to do rough work. ”

He Shan said honestly, "That's the case, I inherited the restaurant left to me by my grandfather, but I can't cook, so I ......" After he finished speaking, he took out an apprenticeship sticker and 100,000 cash as a gift for apprenticeship.

Ou Zhaofeng scratched the Mediterranean Sea above his head and opened the apprenticeship sticker, the ceremony was up, but he never thought of accepting apprentices. But he didn't look at the monk's face but also looked at the Buddha's face, and he felt that he had no reason to refuse the 100,000 yuan full of sincerity on the table.

Seeing that Ou Zhaofeng was thinking seriously, He Shan waited patiently, he had tried the food in Manhan Building, and the level of your own restaurant was a level higher. Learning cooking from Osiu is definitely a good choice.

"Come to work at four o'clock in the morning tomorrow......" Ou Zhaofeng only took away 100,000 yuan, and did not take away the apprenticeship post as well. But let He Shan come to work early tomorrow morning.

……

At four o'clock in the morning, the kitchen of the Manhan Building was overcrowded early in the morning, all preparing for the morning market.

Ou Zhaofeng led He Shan, who was wearing a white kitchen robe and tied with a ponytail, and prepared a basket of carrots, a basket of white radish, and a basket of potatoes for him. Diced, shredded, and diced, let him follow a few aunts to cut these dishes before six o'clock, and prepare them into prepared dishes.

He Shan was stunned for a moment, sighed that the scale of the restaurant was different, and picked up the kitchen knife to prepare to cut vegetables. As long as there are weapons, he can cut any vegetables.

"Wrong! The way you hold the knife and cut it is not right. Asking you to chop vegetables is not asking you to cut people! Ou Zhaofeng squinted his eyes and patted He Shan's, picked up the kitchen knife and taught: "Hold the tiger's mouth full, so that the knife will be more laborious, the thumb and index finger and middle finger grasp the knife body respectively, the palm and ring finger little finger hold the handle of the knife, the wrist is flexible, and the left and right hands cooperate at the same time."

The cutting is a flat knife method, the knife edge is vertically downward, and it should be clean and neat......"

He Shan lowered his head red, and improved his way of holding a kitchen knife according to Ou Zhaofeng's teaching. He didn't expect to make a mistake so quickly, and he just picked up the knife and made a joke.

"Brush! Brush! Brush! He Shan concentrated on the last basket of carrots, and there was only half an hour left until 6 o'clock.

Ou Zhaofeng, who was not surprised by the result, said: "Watch more, listen more, learn more, and do more." If you don't understand anything, just ask, everyone here is a master-level talent. After cutting and playing with the vegetables, I went to the pool to report, and prepared to learn to kill fish. ”

He Shan looked at a few aunts who had cut the dishes and were already ready to get off work, nodded and worked hard to prepare the dishes early. For the same job, although the dishes cut are different, the quantity is indeed the same.

"You even recognize all the fish, and you're embarrassed to come to me. I asked you to catch a squid, and you killed the cuttlefish for me, are you here to make trouble...... Go, recognize all the fish for me, and then come to the pool to kill the fish! ”

He Shan caught a squid and compared it with a cuttlefish, only to find that he had been confusing the two kinds of fish, and then began to remember the fifty different types of marine fish and freshwater fish in the pool. Sea fish are easier to remember, because the deeper the sea, the uglier they get. Freshwater fish are a bit difficult, and He Shan feels that each one looks similar.

Ou Zhaofeng didn't give He Shan a chance to rest, threw him a stack of recipes, and asked him to mark before the dinner market and prepare the dishes for the chefs in advance.

All day long, from the morning market to the evening market, He Shan learned a lot, but he was scolded more, and he was almost scolded by the chef in the kitchen.

Ou Zhaofeng held a cup of tea and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

He Shan, who was covered in the smell of oily smoke, lit the first cigarette of the day, "I will catch up with the rhythm of the kitchen as soon as possible." ”

He really experienced the sadness of being a real catering industry tonight, and compared with the tea restaurant and Manhan Building, he couldn't get on the table at all.

Ou Zhaofeng pushed his glasses, "Don't be in a hurry to think about the spoon, steaming, boiling, frying, frying, frying, and frying are all technical work." Pay more attention to the cooking techniques of different chefs when you prepare dishes in the kitchen, each chef has his own characteristics.

I still say the same thing, watch more, listen more, learn more, do more, and learn the most basic things first. Cooking doesn't require talent, what is needed is patience and accumulation. ”

Ou Zhaofeng was generally satisfied with He Shan's performance on the first day, not only did he work hard but also scolded him back, so he felt that since he received money, he had to teach something practical.

"Your knife skills are good, the lower plate is very stable, and you know that you have worked hard by looking at the calluses on your hands. In the future, the morning market will not change, and the middle market will start to learn carving for me, starting with the simplest carving radish and winter melon. The dinner market will give the chef side dishes, and as for the market close, arrange it yourself. ”

……

"Brush! Brush! Brush! After cutting the side dishes, He Shan looked up at the time, and he was still 15 minutes late.

So he went to the pool and began to kill the fish, he mainly killed tonight, mackerel, eel, yellow croaker three kinds of fish with few bones, the fish bones, the fish hand into a pulp, and then squeezed into fish balls to fry, and finally processed into curry fish balls.

This technique is the best in the whole Manhan Building, and the chefs laughed at it, saying that he was just young and strong, and the fish balls he made were enough to bounce his teeth.

Ou Zhaofeng also said something about it, thinking that fish balls can't be used at banquets, and are only suitable for selling as snacks for breakfast.

"Then I'll make beef balls instead."

"Cows are the same as dogs, they can't be served at a big banquet, have you ever heard of beef as the main dish in the Manchu and Han banquets?"

"Hahaha!" As soon as Ou Zhaofeng finished speaking, he drew laughter from the kitchen chef.

He Shan lowered his head in embarrassment, and took the wooden stick to knock on the fish paste on the cutting board, knowing that he had made a joke again.

After finishing the morning market, He Shan sharpened his knife, and looked at the chef who was busy in the middle market with envy, he had been in Manhan Mansion for almost a month, but until now, Ou Zhaofeng was not allowed to let him take a spatula to stir-fry, only allowed him to stand aside to learn. Wait until the market closes in the evening to let him stay in the kitchen to toss around.

"Boss, someone from outside is looking for you, and he said that he was introduced by Long Kunbao from Lu Yulou!"

…… The kitchen was suddenly quiet, and everyone turned back to look at the owner and executive chef, Ou Zhaofeng.

Ou Zhaofeng scolded: "Look at what to see, continue to do things......"
