After it was officially determined that Wu Xian and a few of them stayed, after a simple apprenticeship etiquette, several of them began to really learn cooking skills at Yangquan Restaurant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was originally a happy thing, but on the morning of the next day, the little master and they never saw Tang Sanjie's figure, and when they went to look for him in his room, they found that he had left, leaving only a letter.
In the letter, Tang Sanjie thanked the few of them for everything, and thanked the little master for reinvigorating his passion for cooking, and now he is no longer afraid of chopping vegetables, and the shadow at that time has been covered by the beautiful night with them.
It was precisely because of this that he also figured it out and decided to return to Shanghai, to the place where he was born and raised.
Tang Sanjie's departure made the little master a little sad, but he was still sincerely happy to think that he was no longer afraid and had regained his confidence.
In the process of teaching, he was shocked by the cleverness of the little master, a dish that he had never seen before, just by tasting the taste, he knew what the ingredients were in it.
This also made him more determined to train the little master to become a master chef, and he spared no effort to teach the little master to do so.
As for Wu Xian, after apprenticeship, he followed Master Shiquan to a place in Yangquan Restaurant.
This is where Master Shiquan lives, and there is a small kitchen next to it, which is fully equipped with all the ingredients and ingredients needed for cooking.
When he came here, Wu Xian skillfully picked up the kitchen knife, took a few green vegetables, and cut them attentively.
Sure enough, knife work is still the biggest necessity for cooking, and as soon as Master Shiquan came here, he assigned the task of cutting vegetables, and practiced how to cut vegetables every day, how to be able to cut thinner and finer.
This is really hard for Wu Xian, even with the help of mental power, he still feels difficult, and his fingers have been cut four or five times in just one morning, although it is not very serious, but it also proves that knife work is really not easy.
Thinking of the chefs I saw before, even though their knife skills are not as exaggerated as here, it will take a long time to practice to their level.
"Huh" took a breath, wiped the sweat off his head, and saw the various vegetables cut on the board.
Some are too short, some are too long, and some are of different thicknesses, and they are still far from the goal required by the Ten Perfection Masters.
However, this morning's task was completed, and Wu Xian ran to the other side of the kitchen, where there were several jars and jars.
They are all tightly sealed and well protected.
On the night when Master Shiquan accepted him as an apprentice, Wu Xian told him all the methods of how to make wine, such as the raw materials needed and the brewing environment, there are several methods.
Originally, Wu Xian was ready to make an excuse to tell the origin of this, but Master Shiquan didn't ask, so he didn't say, after all, this was a method he plagiarized from his memory, not his own.
It can only be said that he was interested in this at the beginning, studied it for a while, and although he also brewed a little, after all, it was a wild road, and the taste was not good, so he gave up, and he didn't expect it to come in handy here, which shows that it is better to learn more things, and he will use it in case.
And he only did it by searching for methods on the Internet, and those real brewing techniques were controlled in various wineries, and he didn't know it.
But even so, after listening to the method he said, Master Shiquan immediately thought of a better brewing method, and the wine made with this would taste more mellow.
Looking at the jar placed there, Wu Xian's eyes were also very hot, he actually liked to drink a little, especially fruit wine and wine, mainly because it was too expensive and couldn't afford it, but now it's okay.
There are so many raw materials here, and there are places and tools to brew here, so when the time comes, you can have a big drink.
In the afternoon, when Wu Xian was practicing knife work, Master Shiquan came over.
Seeing the dishes that were cut into different sizes, he laughed: "Wu Xian, my vein is not the same as others, others strictly abide by the rules and order, and mine is to be at ease." ”
"When I first saw you, I sensed that you had this in you, and that's why I would take you as an apprentice."
took a sip of wine, picked up the kitchen knife and waved it: "You don't have to care about the way you hold the knife, the standing posture depends on the feeling in your own heart, of course, you must practice this knife work." ”
After finishing speaking, only Wu Xian, who was a little incomprehensible, was left behind.
"This old man is really comfortable, what you say depends on your feelings, it's not that you are too lazy to teach." However, Wu Xian only said a few words silently in his heart.
Then I went back to chopping vegetables.
Time flies, two weeks later.
In the kitchen, Wu Xian quickly cut the white radish with a "dong dong".
The little master picked it up and took a look, although the thickness was not as thin as a cicada's wings, it was already in line with the thickness required by most dishes, and each slice was like this, not big or small, just right.
"Wow, Brother Xian, it only took two weeks for you to be able to cut so well, it's amazing."
Hearing the words of the little master, Wu Xian rolled his eyes, if others praised me, it would be fine, but you are a genius child, you can reach this level at the age of thirteen, and even the top chef is not your opponent, can I think you are sarcastic about me.
Smiling, Wu Xian was actually quite satisfied in his heart, after all, it only took two weeks to be able to cut it like this, and not only that, his current cooking skills are already a third-class chef, that is, he can already cook most of the dishes, and it still tastes authentic.
In addition to the two special chefs, there is also a senior chef, three second-class chefs, and the others are third-class chefs, and there are no fourth-class chefs here.
Of course, not only that, but during this time, he discussed the brewing of various kinds of sake with Master Shiquan.
Although he only knows some of the principles of wine, he can't stand the fact that there is a special chef here, and he is still a chef who likes to drink.
Whenever he said a kind of wine, Master Shiquan could finally figure out how to make it, and finally teach it to himself, and the two of them discussed with each other, sometimes adding the first master and the little master.
In the past two weeks, they have made three flavors of wine, as well as other fruit flavors, but that should not be called wine, there is no alcohol content, just like a drink, but it contains rich nutrients, drinking for a long time, can enhance physical fitness, and even has a certain beautifying effect.
After verifying that there were no problems, they officially launched this fruit wine, and the already popular Yangquan Restaurant went to the next level, and it was packed every day.
Many children and women are competing to buy here, which leads to chaos in the restaurant and is prone to accidents, which causes some trouble.
Later, Wu Xian came up with a way to open a small stall next to it, because a large piece of land around it is Yangquan Restaurant, so there is no rental fee.
It is there that this fruit wine is sold in limited quantities every day, which not only solves the accidents that may occur due to too much crowd movement, but also increases the income of the restaurant.
Of course, the limited edition is not to starve marketing, the main reason is that the fruit wine is really not enough, so that such a decision is made, but it is also just right, so as to create an illusion that rare things are expensive.
Master Ji and Master Shiquan are also very happy, after all, they are not saints, and they still can't avoid these red dust in the world.
