Chapter 65: Knife Work
In addition to the seasoning, the most important thing is to cut the boiled meat slices thinly, just cut them in the water for a while, cut them thickly, and the meat will not be tender after cooking for a while, then the dish will be considered a waste.
The four of them listened to Bai Zhi's words and nodded in unison.
Bai Zhi saw that they all understood, and bowed her head: "Then you can do it yourself, the kitchen will be handed over to you, you have also seen me do it before, the materials are still there, you can figure it out yourself, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me, we will eat boiled meat slices at noon." ”
After speaking, Bai Zhi didn't say much, and went out directly.
There is only one month, and it is impossible to take it as slowly as the traditional cooking skills, and it has been said that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.
This sentence can be used to learn to cook.
In extraordinary times, you have to use extraordinary methods, and this boiled pork slice is not particularly difficult, and it will be enough to try it a few times.
Originally, they thought that Bai Zhi was going to teach them how to teach them, but seeing Bai Zhi leave like this, the four of them couldn't help but be stunned, and then they reacted, and they all divided their labor and learned according to the steps Bai Zhi had done before.
"Zhi'er, how is it, aren't you teaching those masters how to cook? How did it come out?? ”
Xia Xueniang was about to go out to find Mrs. Chen and help Mrs. Chen do some work, when she saw Bai Zhi coming out of it and hurriedly asked.
But he didn't want Bai Zhi to hear this, so he smiled: "I've already taught it, and it's not too difficult, so you don't need to keep teaching." ”
While speaking, Bai Zhi stretched out her hand and pulled Xia Xueniang: "Mother, where are you going?" I'm a little bit like I want my mother's help. ”
"That's it, Heniang is still so polite, you little ghost." When Xia Xueniang heard that Bai Zhi asked her for help, she couldn't help but reach out and nod her forehead, Bai Zhi stuck out her tongue: "I want my mother to help me with some recipes." ”
Bai Zhi is also helpless about her dog-like handwriting, she can't write, so what can she do?
As soon as Bai Zhi finished speaking, Xia Xueniang went directly to the room without saying a word, and Bai Zhi called out the other eight people in the kitchen, and asked them one by one about the taste of the restaurant over there.
Twelve people, four spicy flavors, learn Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine, two light flavors learn Cantonese cuisine, and the remaining six are sweet, Bai Zhi is ready to teach them Zhejiang cuisine.
In fact, these dishes are general, such as the sweet Zhejiang cuisine, but also the Sichuan cuisine, which is also fish-flavored shredded pork is sweet, so it is roughly divided.
Due to the limited time and the opening of a restaurant, Bai Zhi also picks some home-cooked dishes, like those big dishes that take time, so it is only serious for them to go back and do business first, and then learn slowly.
After setting the recipe, they waited to go to the town tomorrow to buy the ingredients to be used, and the most prepared at home during this time was probably the ingredients, and the cooking skills were all practiced, and it would not work if they didn't take the ingredients to pile them up.
"I'll take you to your room to rest."
After doing this, Bai Zhi looked at the eight people and said, but she didn't want to, these eight people all shook their heads in unison.
"Girl, we're not resting, let's go to the kitchen and watch them cook."
One of the men, who was almost fifty years old, looked at Bai Zhi and said, his eyes were undisguised eagerness, and his skills were not pressing, this was a rare opportunity to learn to cook, how could they let it go, they just couldn't get started, watch it carefully, and they would have the opportunity to practice in the future.
As soon as the man's words were finished, the others on the side also chimed in.
Seeing them like this, Bai Zhi also took care of it, and nodded: "Then you go, the lunch will be handed over to you, and I will go to the town tomorrow to buy ingredients, and you will not be idle at that time." ”
As soon as they got Bai Zhi's answer, several people quickly went to the kitchen.
At noon, they ate boiled pork slices, Xia Xueniang didn't eat too spicy, and Bai Zhi casually went to cold and mixed wild vegetables.
There is no doubt that the boiled meat slices are a bit old, and the taste is also a little poor, because they have eaten the meat slices made by Angelica Angelica before, and they are spicy, and the chopsticks of several people move less, but the wild vegetables on the side are disced by them.
They sit in the restaurant as cooks, and it's good to eat and drink, but they haven't really eaten wild vegetables or anything, and they can't eat it cold once, and it's not good to be fresh.
After eating, these people didn't need Bai Zhi to do it, and quickly took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash, which made Xia Xueniang, who was about to wash the dishes, a little embarrassed.
"Zhi'er, isn't that good??" Xia Xueniang looked at the people who packed up the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, and said with some concern, people are here to learn how to cook, and this also makes people wash the dishes, how unauthentic is this.
Bai Zhi was calm, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and after hearing Xia Xueniang's words, she couldn't help but smile: "Mother, don't worry, there's nothing unauthentic about this, they are willing." ”
Isn't it? If you go to an apprenticeship seriously, let alone wash the dishes, you have to do all the odd work, and it's not a day or two, that's it, people don't necessarily teach you wholeheartedly.
It's her, who follows her master's side, that is, she has done chores for two or three years, and only then does she touch the knife or something by the master's side, and she is tired and dirty, just like killing snakes, chickens, ducks, fish, etc., step by step, before she later taught her to cook.
Now it's just washing dishes or something, it's not a problem at all, you can learn cooking, and if they learn it, it means that their lives will be guaranteed in the future, and Rong Xun will definitely give them good benefits, even if they leave Rong Xun's restaurant, they don't have any worries at all.
After all, the craft is there, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help frowning.
She was really negligent.
When Xia Xueniang saw Bai Zhi say this, she was still a little reluctant to go, and Bai Zhi couldn't help but hold her forehead when she saw this: "Then or, mother, go wash it, and see if they want you to clean it up." ”
Xia Xueniang was a little reluctant in her heart, and when she saw Bai Zhi say this, she entered the kitchen without hesitation, but she came out of it just after a while.
"What's the matter, mother, why did you come out?" Bai Zhi asked knowingly.
"They...... Don't let me wash. Xia Xueniang pulled the corners of her mouth a little embarrassed.
"Yes, okay, mother, let's go to the town tomorrow to buy ingredients, and you go too? In the garden at the back, you can see whether to plant some flowers and plants, or to plant some vegetables or something. ”
Xia Xueniang is used to being busy in the Bai family's old house, this cold and idle at once, not used to it, before she was busy with three meals, and she had to pick up firewood or something, now that the house has been repaired, she can't always go to collect firewood, except for helping Mrs. Chen do some work, there is nothing to do, idle panic, Bai Zhi is afraid that she will be idle as soon as she is free, so she will think about it.
The yard at the back was turned out when the house was being repaired, so you just need to buy seeds and plant them.
Xia Xueniang heard Bai Zhi say this, a little entangled, after thinking about it, she finally decided to plant some vegetables, they came out of the Bai family's old house, there were only two sets of clothes, not to mention anything, now you have to buy vegetables, if you plant some, you don't need to buy them.
"Okay, then let's buy vegetable seeds."
Bai Zhi nodded when she heard this, and then her eyes fell on the hungry Xia Xueniang, who was still wearing clothes made of the aqua blue cloth she bought before.
"Let's go buy two more clothes tomorrow."
Anyway, now that their house has been repaired, they have money, and they can't hide it from the old house, so they can't pay back the hardships haha, and they should make two more clothes.
When Xia Xueniang heard Bai Zhi say that she wanted to buy clothes, she hurriedly waved her hand: "No need, there are still clothes to wear, they are still good and not rotten, why do you still buy clothes." ”
said, glanced at Bai Zhi: "It's you, it's time to buy two sets of clothes." ”
"Mother, the clothes used to be worn with a patch and a patch, but now that my daughter is rich, she can't still wear it like this, we won't wear clothes with patches in the future, mother, you can rest assured."
"If you don't buy it, then I won't buy it either."
Xia Xueniang looked at Bai Zhi like this, and couldn't help but redden: "Buy, buy, buy, Zhi'er has really grown up, if your father is still ......" you can enjoy the blessings of your daughter, and you don't have to collect the skin."
Xia Xueniang's words were not finished, and her voice was choked and she couldn't continue.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi sighed lightly: "Mother, my father is already gone, if he knows Jiuquan, he will be sad to see you like this, don't be sad, we still have to live well." ”
said so, but Bai Zhi didn't think so in her heart, that is, Jiuquan really knew that her scumbag father would not be sad because of her mother, otherwise how could her mother live like that in the Bai family.
But these words are still very useful to comfort Xia Xueniang, Xia Xueniang reached out and wiped her eyes after hearing Bai Zhi's words: "I know, you don't have to worry." ”
The two talked for a while, and Xia Xueniang went to find Mrs. Chen.
As soon as Xia Xueniang left, someone came over.
"Girl, why are the boiled meat slices we made not as tender as the girl's."
The person who came was one of the four, Bai Zhi was not surprised by the arrival of the fish at all, although it was a home-cooked meal, if it was really so easy to learn, those who have learned to cook for many years, but how to be popular, then those who follow the recipe, but still can't make it, what to think.
While speaking, Bai Zhi followed into the kitchen.
"Your meat is cut too thickly, boiled slices, because the slices of meat can't be boiled in water for too long, almost after a while, they will get up, if it's too thick, they won't be cooked at all, and when they are cooked, the meat will be old again."
Saying that, let them get a slice of lean meat, these are also old cooks, don't talk about the knife work, but it's not bad, a knife down, the meat slice is thin, but compared to Bai Zhi's requirements, it is still a little worse.
Bai Zhi didn't say much, she took the knife directly from one of them, threw the meat casually, and the kitchen knife in her hand turned, and the speed of her hand was dazzling.
