Chapter 29: The Living Lei Feng in the Back Kitchen

Even more bitter than the Lotus Chef is the Chopping Board Chef.

For example, Ivan has finished preparing for the start of work, but the cows are still there cutting and cutting.

The chopping board chef serves the whole kitchen, and many dishes have to be cut and marinated in advance before the kitchen is fired, and after the fire is opened, they have to be cut and cut non-stop.

Ivan also did this work for a while.

"Ivan, come and help me. ”

Seeing Ivan start to walk around with his hands behind his back, the cow began to call for backup.

"Don't even think about it. ”

Ivan sternly refused.

"Cow, don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"

Lao Cai, the leader of the cutting and matching team who was on patrol, also scolded, and then turned to Ivan: "Ivan, are you done? ”

In Guangdong, the water platform, cutting board, and lotus are all under the control of Lao Cai.

It's just that Ivan is a person with a backstage, because his master is Jiang Menglin, the chef of Cantonese cuisine in Guangdong, and the wok-chef that Ivan is serving now is also Chef Jiang.

Therefore, there are not too many people here who will embarrass him.

Including Lao Cai.

"Lao Cai, I'll go to the water platform to help. ”

The water platform is also under the control of Lao Cai, and it is a low-level division of labor for the chopping board cook.

Lao Cai was a little surprised.

This Ivan is usually quite diligent, and his popularity is also good, and when he is busy, he occasionally comes to help the chopping board, but he rarely goes to the dirty and tiring low-level work of the dry water platform.

What's going on today?

Ivan was thinking that although his task was required to be completed in the dungeon, the proficiency of the water platform and knife work should also be able to be practiced in reality.

He didn't want to waste time.

For the mission, he had to race against time.

Although his tasks include water platform proficiency and knife proficiency, on the knife craft's side, after he didn't master the correct way to exert power before he practiced the basic skills of the knife technique, he was not ready to touch it more for the time being.

Let's practice the proficiency of the water platform first!

The water deck is indeed a dirty job.

If you kill chickens, ducks and fish, you will often get your hands dirty, bloody and greasy.

But it's okay here in Guangdong.

Because there is a technology called cold fresh, so the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep here are slaughtered in the slaughterhouse and then refrigerated and preserved at designated points.

This saves a lot of trouble.

However, there is also a need to kill fish.

Some fish have to be freshly killed, such as steamed fish, so that it is fresh enough.

Some fish must be killed and marinated in advance, such as the fish used for frying and braising it, or the squirrel fish made by Chef Zheng.

In Cantonese cuisine, fish is one of the most used ingredients, and a large number of marine and freshwater fish are slaughtered every day.

"Brother Fan, how embarrassing is this!"

For Ivan's arrival to help, Xiao Cui, who was in charge of killing the pickled fish, was a little flattered.

Ivan is one of the apprentices valued by Chef Jiang Menglin, and the whole kitchen knows this.

For a low-level chef like Xiao Cui, who is new to the hotel, Ivan belongs to an existence that cannot be offended casually.

Therefore, Xiao Cui was thinking at this time, what happened to Ivan today?

Could it be that you are here to win people's hearts?

Don't underestimate the back kitchen of a big hotel.

Like other workplaces, there is a harmonious atmosphere here on the surface, but it is very complicated secretly, especially when it comes to promotion and job adjustment, all kinds of open and secret battles and suppression methods emerge one after another.

There is no way, where there are interests, there are disputes.

Ivan doesn't want to rise, does he?

Recently, there has been gossip in the hotel, saying that the Chinese restaurant is likely to have a big personnel change recently.

In Xiao Cui's opinion, Ivan is here to make a show and win people's hearts.

With Ivan's background, there is indeed a possibility of rising!

Thinking of this, Xiao Cui didn't dare to slack off.

"Brother Fan, don't be busy, dirty, you better rest. ”

How could Ivan agree?

"Xiao Cui, don't make trouble, let me play for a while. ”

He picked up a special knife for killing fish and felt it carefully in his hand.

In modern times, chef's knives are very particular, such as boning knives, fish fillet knives, beef knives, slicing knives, Chinese machetes, Chinese bone chopping knives, Chinese slice knives, etc., as well as descaling knives, trowel knives, lancets, etc., there are dozens of types.

This is different from the Ming Dynasty in Ivan's copy.

In the past, there were only a limited number of Chinese kitchen knives, machetes, bone knives, slice knives, boning knives, etc., and it is said that a very powerful chef can make a kitchen knife go all over the world.

In Ivan's view, a kitchen knife goes all over the world, which is the realm that can only be achieved by knife work to the extreme.

Therefore, he is not averse to using different props for different needs.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

This also makes a lot of sense when applied to chefs.

At this time, he was thinking, since the system has such high requirements for knife workers, should I buy a better set of chef's knives?

HIS MASTER JIANG MENGLIN HAS A SET OF CHEF'S KNIVES WITH A VERY GOOD FORK, AND THE PRICE OF A SET OF FIVE WOSTHOF (THREE-PRONGED) KNIVES IS AS HIGH AS 70,000 OR 80,000 YUAN, AND IT IS INDEED VERY EASY TO USE, WHICH MAKES IVAN AND OTHERS VERY ENVIOUS.

Alas, we can't afford that kind of knife for the time being!

Ivan shook his head and looked at the knife in his hand again.

This is a fish-killing knife between a Chinese-style chopping knife and a slice knife, and Ivan used to be familiar with it.

Not to mention, this knife kills fish, and it is indeed much better than the knife that Tie Niu used for him in the dungeon.

Even though it's just an ordinary forging knife.

After a little familiarization, Ivan moved.

He grabbed a herring that was used to marinate and make braised fish pieces, and then moved quickly according to the method of killing fish instructed by Tie Niu.

He wants to go for the extreme of his speed.

Alas, after practicing all day, killing hundreds of fish, and receiving the guidance of the Iron Bull, the speed did not go up too much.

It's still about 30 seconds.

It's too far from the iron bull's more than ten seconds.

Ivan was very dissatisfied.

But his series of quick actions were enough to dumb Xiao Cui.

"Brother Fan, yes! This killing speed, if our hotel competes in the killing competition, you should be able to get the top three!"

This is Xiao Cui's true words.

He was really a little convinced.

Ivan shook his head.

The top three of our hotel are a fart, compared with the iron bull, it is really too far behind!

He didn't bother to talk nonsense with Xiao Cui, grabbed another fish, and began to repeat the action just now.

Skill comes from practice.

He's looking for that feeling.

Xiao Cui was surprised again.

In his opinion, whether Ivan is here to win people's hearts or to reminisce about the feeling of killing fish, it is almost the same to kill a few.

But half an hour has passed, this guy is still killing, all kinds of fish have killed fifty or sixty, basically one in half a minute, without stopping.

"Ivan, the head chef is here, you can get back in place. ”

Not far away, Lao Cai's shouts were heard.

Looking at Ivan's departing back and looking at the few fish left in the fish pond, Xiao Cui was a little incredulous.

Wow, is this guy the living Lei Feng in our back kitchen?

Ivan was satisfied.

He has already discovered that killing fish in reality can also improve the proficiency of the water platform skills, and after dozens of fish are killed, his water platform skills are a little more.

That's good, so that he doesn't have to worry about the first task.
