Chapter 49: Reaching Out (Part 1)
"By the way, Derpy, what's your real name?"
After pulling Ivan aside, Chef Zheng asked pleasantly.
Ivan was originally very puzzled, but now he is convinced.
This face-changing technique can score 99 points, and I'm afraid that he will be proud!
In fact, Ivan knew very well in his heart that since he entered the dungeon, Chef Zheng had never looked at him squarely, and not even remembering his name was proof of it.
And he also knew that because of his relationship with Dong Xiaowan, he was already a thorn in Chef Zheng's flesh and a thorn in his eye, if it weren't for other plans, Chef Zheng would not have behaved so kindly.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
"Master, you can just call me Derpy. ”
Although he didn't think so, Ivan was still polite in his mouth.
"Oh, you taught Miss Dong how to make that crystal dough, right?
Chef Zheng pretended to be very casual and asked.
The wolf's ambition is immediate!
To be honest, if it weren't for his own task, if it wasn't for the fact that this thing had too much to do with Xiaowan buns and crystal shrimp dumplings, and if it weren't for Chef Zheng's two-faced and three-knife villain behavior that made Ivan dislike, he really said it.
After all, that is something that many people know in the future life, and it is not worth much.
But what is Ivan willing to say now?
"Master, this is a valuable top-secret recipe, I can't just tell you about it. ”
Ivan directly refused.
He didn't even bother to find an excuse, and he was even more reluctant to use Dong Xiaowan as a shield.
In his opinion, this is an NPC that has nothing to do with the mission, and if you offend, you will be offended.
Chef Zheng's face suddenly became ugly.
He asked with a gloomy face, "Why, in your heart, my master is not as good as an outsider?"
Ivan snorted.
"Miss Dong is exchanging the secret recipe with me, if you want, you can also exchange the secret recipe. ”
"What do you want?"
"Any recipe I can look up to, like the secret recipe for marinating squirrel fish. ”
Ivan had wanted to talk about the full recipe for the squirrel fish, but he felt that it was suspicious of a lion's mouth.
In fact, he had no intention of exchanging with Chef Zheng at all.
Although the secret recipe for marinating squirrel fish is good, it is still a little short compared to completing the task. In order to complete the mission, it must be guaranteed to be an exclusive business.
Now Chef Zheng actually asked for the recipe for the crystal dough, which shows that he has bad motives.
"You...... Presumptuous!"
Even so, it has already angered Chef Zheng.
Anger is anger.
Anyway, this master-apprentice relationship is only nominal, and Ivan has a kitchen steward as a backstage, so he is not very afraid of Chef Zheng.
"Master, if there is nothing else to do, I will kill the fish first. ”
Ivan turned around and left.
Reach out when you see the benefits, and you don't want to pay the price?
Is there such a good thing?
He looked down on that kind of person in his heart.
After returning to the back kitchen, he picked up the knife again and began to kill the fish, cooperating with the iron bull again.
Practice makes perfect, that's true.
Compared with yesterday, his killing speed was a little faster today, and even Tie Niu couldn't help but boast: "Derpy, your speed is getting faster and faster." ”
Ivan took the opportunity to ask him: "Senior brother, you have been killing fish for so long, why doesn't Master teach you cooking." ”
"Maybe I don't have that talent, I'll kill fish and cut vegetables. ”
Ivan shook his head.
What's wrong with you for not having talent?
I think you're honest and easy to bully, and I treat you as a tool!
While it is true that the profession of a chef has a talent, it is for top chefs.
For the average chef, as long as the basic skills are mastered, it is enough to satisfy the appetite of most ordinary diners.
In later generations, the popularity of various chef schools is proof of this.
Forget it, since Iron Bull doesn't care about it, Ivan doesn't bother to meddle.
He put his energy into his work again, and when he was tired of killing fish, he picked up all kinds of kitchen knives to practice the basic skills of knife skills for a while, and when he was tired of practicing, he picked up kitchen knives to kill fish......
Reciprocating cycles.
Anyway, Iron Bull didn't rush him.
However, when he was practicing at the beginning of his practice, Tie Niu said: "Derpy, there is another method, I think it is also helpful for strength and accuracy control, but it is a little tired, I don't know if you dare to be interested?"
"What is it?"
Ivan, of course, was interested.
What's the point of being tired?
If you have to endure hardship, you will become a master!
He didn't know how much suffering he would have to endure to achieve the goal of being a master chef.
Tie Niu pointed to a pile of wood in the other corner of the yard: "Chopping wood." ”
Ivan: "......"
You didn't say it earlier!
Not to mention, it's definitely an effective method.
Ivan found that in the kitchen of Qinlou, although coal has been widely used, wood is also a commonly used fire-making material, and there are special people to chop pieces of wood into firewood every day.
"When you're done killing the fish, I'll teach you how to chop. ”
It seems that Tie Niu has another good show.
Ivan was overjoyed and worked harder to kill the fish.
Iron Bull really has another stunt.
Others chop wood with an axe, but he carries a knife and goes on it.
Ivan was dumbfounded when he saw it.
Can this also be done?
As we all know, even the knives used by Chinese chefs in ancient times were divided into machetes, bone knives, slice knives, etc., and the thickness and weight of the knives were different depending on the use.
The reason why a slice knife used specifically for cutting vegetables cannot be used for cutting is that the blade is too thin, and it is easy to break or curl the blade.
But the iron ox is ready to chop wood with a knife!
You have to use a thick axe to chop wood!
But Tie Niu really carried a piece of knife and went on it, not a bone cutting knife, let alone a machete for cutting big bones.
Whether Ivan believes it or not, the Iron Bull just cleaved down.
With a seemingly casual swing of the knife, a piece of wood brushed the ground into two halves, as if it were destroyed.
Ivan picked up the firewood in disbelief.
Very even in half!
He took the cutter from Iron Bull's hand in disbelief.
There is no sign of collapse and rolling!
Really god!
Ivan couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, can you use this kitchen knife to chop big bones?"
It is said that the most powerful Chinese chef can go all over the world with a kitchen knife, whether it is cutting, chopping, chopping, or peeling, it can be done with a kitchen knife.
Ivan didn't fully believe it, but now he believes it a little.
Tie Niu shook his head: "This knife can't work, it will collapse if you cut big bones, the one you gave me should be fine." ”
Ivan: "......"
He has N "lying grooves" in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not.
It turns out that there are indeed people who can go all over the world with a kitchen knife!
Ivan couldn't help but think, with Tie Niu's knife kung fu, even if Jinling is in chaos in the future, as long as he has a knife in his hand, there is no problem with self-preservation, right?
Alas, it seems that as long as you work hard, it is possible for a foolish person to become a master!
Ivan sighed.
"Derpy, you can only practice with an axe for the time being, and when the axe is practiced, you can switch to a machete, and then practice the bone cutting knife after practicing the machete......"
Iron Bull is ready to teach the secret again.
