Chapter 14 Meditation in Progress IV
"Xiao Yi! Thanks to you, they're motivated again! Master Bei's first sentence made Lin Yiyan full of confusion, so, "Huh? Master! What do you mean? ”
"Huh! They have been complacent for a long time because of my relationship. I always can't find the opportunity to educate them, now it's okay, with Xiao Yi's performance just now, I guess they must be fighting hard now! ”
"Hey, hey!" Being praised so much by Master Abbe, Lin Yiyan smiled embarrassedly.
"That's it! That's all for the extra words! Master Abey first praised Lin Yiyan, "Xiao Yi, the cultivation of knife work is very good, I just took a look at the ingredients you cut, and it was also done very well!" Now your knife skills can be said to be completely out of the ordinary. But! There are also some special knife skills, you need to rely on yourself! The good thing is that your foundation is very good, and you will definitely not have too many problems in the future! ”
"Special knife work?" However, Master Abbe did not answer Lin Yiyan's question, but went straight to today's topic and said, "Today, I will tell you the basics of cooking!" Or the basics of being a chef! ”
"Chinese cuisine has developed to this day, and it is divided into four categories in terms of cuisine - stir-frying, boiling, frying, and stewing! Then according to these four categories, countless sub-categories are subdivided! For example, boiling, cooking, frying, exploding, boiling, boiling, boiling, boiling, boiling, steaming, buttoning, boiling, boiling, etc., it can be said that various styles of cuisine have developed. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yiyan, who was full of confusion, raised his hand like a good student and said, "Master! I probably understand what you mean by frying, steaming, boiling, and boiling! Because of these, I can also see it often. But! What do you mean by boiling, cooking, boiling, burning, simmering, boiling, boiling, and buckling? ”
"Brushing is a cooking method in which food is cut, boiled or soaked in boiling water or hot oil, and then stirred in a pot with dried chili pepper and pepper oil. As for cooking, it is a method of steaming, boiling, etc. to cook food. It is mostly named in Teochew cuisine. Stir-frying is a cooking method that uses hot oil in a hot pan to add an appropriate amount of sauce or soup to make the small food in the pot quickly cook and give it aroma. ”
There is also the boiling method, which uses a large amount of boiling water to cook tough food on a fire. Rolling is a processing method that uses the surge of a large amount of boiling water to bring out the flavor of food. It is a northern term for a dish in which food processed into balls or flakes is cooked in boiling water, then removed into a bowl and then added to the boiling soup. Searing is a method of eating food that is cut into thin slices, quickly cooked in boiling water, and then dipped in sauce. ”
Master Abbe, who said that he was a little dry at this point, poured himself a glass of water, moistened his mouth, and said to Lin Yiyan as if he remembered something, "I almost forgot, I remember that I took notes on these things before!" Xiao Yi, wait a minute, I'll go to the study and I'll be back soon! ”
Looking at Master Abbe in the distance, Lin Yiyan was a little puzzled, "Strange, are there these books in the study?" Why didn't I see it? As far as I can remember, this shouldn't happen, right? ”
"That's because you often look at recipes, not these basics!"
"Huh! That's right! After a pause, Lin Yiyan recalled in his mind, "Think about it carefully, it was indeed like this at that time!" ”
As soon as Lin Yiyan's words fell, Master Abbe walked in with four thick books, and at the same time handed the four books to Lin Yiyan, "Xiao Yi! You can read these books when you have time. Now, I'll give you a new mission! ”
Lin Yiyan glanced down at the four books in his hand, which read "Chef's Introductory Knowledge" and a "Cooking Tips and Basic Cooking Knowledge that Chefs Must Know", seeing this title, Lin Yiyan knew in his heart that the other two should be the next volume!
"Then, Master! What's the new mission you're talking about? After knowing this, Lin Yiyan asked Master Abbe, "Do you want to start now?" ”
"Yes!" Master Abbe said quite seriously, "In addition to the knife work of the chef, the practice of throwing the pot is also equally important!" With that, Master Abbe picked up the discarded pot in the corner of the kitchen and poured the sand into the pot.
唰~~唰~~唰~~
With Master Abbe's movements, the sand rolled in the pot without any grit leaking out! And Master Abbey's movements were so elegant and beautiful, making Lin Yiyan feel that he could also do so beautifully. At this moment, Lin Yiyan's first feeling was that it was great to be able to become a chef!
"Xiao Yi!" While demonstrating, Master Abbe instructed Lin Yiyan, "When throwing the pot, take the wrist strength as the key, first use your thumb to pull the pot slightly into your arms, and then use the remaining four fingers to send the pot slightly forward, and the dishes in the pot will turn over from the pot, and you can complete a full set of actions by using the pot to find food and connect the pot upwards." ”
"It's easy to say, but it's a craft that needs to be repeated thousands of times before you become fully proficient. Starting from the technique of serving the pot, then practicing shaking the pot with turning sand, and finally increasing the weight in the pot step by step, and finally really stir-frying the dishes on the stove, these all take time to accumulate! ”
Seeing Lin Yiyan nodding uncontrollably, Master Abbe stopped and handed the pot to Lin Yiyan, "Now!" Xiao Yi! Give it a try! As long as you grasp the rhythm of throwing the pot, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for you! Because you've already surprised me too much! ”
He took the pot from Master Abbe's hand and was quite excited. Noticing Master Abbe's encouraging eyes, Lin Yiyan's eyes froze, and he only heard a 'swish', and the sand in the sky instantly filled Lin Yiyan's whole body......
"Phew~! Bah~~! Bah~! Lin Yiyan, who had a bitter face, frowned and complained, "Is there a mistake, my mouth is full of sand!" Phew~~!! ”
"Hmm~ha~~!!" A slightly dull laugh sounded from Lin Yiyan's mind, although Master Abbe couldn't hear it, but Lin Yiyan clearly knew whose laughter it was!
"Don't laugh!" Lin Yiyan, who was slightly annoyed and angry, threatened in his mind, "Be careful that I beat you!" Dregger! ”
"I see! I know! I don't laugh anymore! Despite that, Drager's smirk always rang out occasionally, "But! Partner! You're so much fun! I always see that you look confident, it turns out that you also have such embarrassing times! ”
"Cut! What's this! Lin Yiyan pursed his lips unhappily and retorted in his mind.
