Chapter 14: Turnaround
"Senior brother, how do you practice the basic skills?"
"Let's kill the fish first, and I'll teach you when I'm done killing the fish. ”
Ivan was overjoyed.
In his opinion, this may well be the opportunity for the task to be completed.
This immediately gave him the motivation to work, he picked up the knife and began to continue killing fish.
Although the speed of his killing of fish was slower, but the quality was not to be said, after watching him kill two, Tie Niu concentrated on beating the fish he had killed into a wheat ear flower knife, and after killing, he used a prepared sauce to marinate the fish.
This sauce aroused Ivan's curiosity.
"Senior Brother Tie Niu, what kind of sauce is this?"
"Squirrel fish sauce. ”
"What's in there?"
"I don't know, Master specially adjusted, he doesn't show it. ”
Ivan: "......"
It seems that this sauce is the secret recipe for Chef Zheng to make squirrel fish in Jinling?
Is Chef Zheng still keeping it a secret? Is this because he is afraid that he will teach his apprentice to starve to death of his master?
This immediately piqued Ivan's interest.
After killing a fish, he put down his knife, washed his hands, and leaned over to the sauce basin to smell it.
There was the smell of wine, and the smell of sauce, and the sour smell of vinegar, and as for the rest, Ivan couldn't smell it.
Unwilling, he dipped his finger in a little more and put it in his mouth.
This time there was more, and he tasted the taste of tea seed oil, sugar, and pepper, but nothing else.
Alas, it's a pity, if the identification function of the system can be used, this secret recipe will have no secrets.
Ivan was a little unwilling.
Identification!
Once again, he tried the system's authentication function.
"Squirrel fish secret sauce, it takes 3000 points to identify this food, and now the host score is 0, it can't be identified, please get the points as soon as possible. ”
Ivan shook his head helplessly.
3000 points!
The sauce marinade recipe equivalent to 300,000 yuan is really expensive!
However, this also means that this sauce recipe alone is at least a medium-grade or above secret recipe.
According to the provisions of the system, the identification of non-inflow and low-grade food ingredients requires 1-999 points, the middle grade requires 1000-9999 points, and the upper grade identification requires tens of thousands of points.
It's a pity that Ivan can't afford to identify it.
Otherwise, it can be called a unique squirrel fish practice in Jinling, 300,000 yuan is really worth it, if you get it in reality and can contact a good buyer, you can definitely make a profit.
Ivan shook his head helplessly again and began to kill fish again.
Tie Niu gave him a strange look, thinking to himself, this new junior brother is really a little dumbfounded.
More than half an hour later, with the cooperation of the two, more than 40 cinnamon fish were all killed and pickled.
"Come, bring the fish to the master first, and then I will teach you the basic skills of knife work when I have time. ”
Ivan was another joy.
That's exactly what he's looking forward to.
In a corner of the kitchen, Dong Xiaowan, with the help of Chef Zheng, was taking a basket of steamed buns off the steamer.
Dong Xiaowan put her nose on top of the soup dumpling, shrugged slightly, and sniffed deeply.
Her frowning brow immediately relaxed.
The aroma of this bun is very satisfying to her.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Tie Niu and Ivan walking in carrying the fish, and Dong Xiaowan immediately said with a little excitement: "Derpy, come and taste my buns and see how they taste." ”
Ivan: "......"
Do I know you well?
He was a little surprised by Dong Xiaowan's enthusiasm for him.
He didn't think much of it, though.
As a chef, he naturally knows that chefs often like to look for tasters everywhere when trying out new products.
Moreover, in order to avoid flattery from familiar people, most chefs like to find unfamiliar people to try the food, so that the advice given will be more pertinent.
Now it seems that Dong Xiaowan probably regards herself as a taster.
But that's exactly what Ivan was looking forward to.
For him, filling soup dumplings is his main goal, and even if he can't learn how to do it for the time being, it's good to be able to taste it first.
After setting the fish bowl down, he washed his hands again, then carefully took a soup pouch from a fine food plate and looked at it carefully.
This soup dumpling is not very big, about the size of a baby's fist.
On the surface, the white-to-yellow but shiny dough is as thin as paper, with 24 very even folds pinched on it, and it looks delicate and exquisite.
Just looking at the craftsmanship of pinching buns, it is worth a praise from Ivan.
"The shape is very delicate, and it looks very appetizing. ”
As a qualified taster, Ivan gave the first evaluation.
Dong Xiaowan was surprised.
He doesn't actually stay!
He certainly doesn't look like a crude chef's apprentice, but like a qualified food critic!
Ivan's performance made Dong Xiaowan have a good impression of him.
What he expected was right, but Dong Xiaowan regarded him as a taster.
As a person who regards cooking as an art, Dong Xiaowan certainly doesn't want her elaborate delicacy to meet an ugly guest, and that kind of wind-swept way of eating will give her the feeling of chewing peonies.
And Ivan's performance gave her a feeling that the fruits of her labor were respected.
Ivan ignored Dong Xiaowan's surprise, but took the soup bag from the plate under the tip of his nose, closed his eyes, and sniffed gently.
A strong smell of fresh meat came to my nose.
Fresh!
Ivan is no stranger to soup dumplings, and he has even eaten many kinds of soup dumplings, such as Cantonese soup dumplings, Kaifeng soup dumplings, Nanjing soup dumplings, SH soup dumplings, etc.
But he could be sure that it was the most fragrant soup dumpling he had ever smelled, based on the smell alone.
No wonder the system arranged for him to come here to learn how to pour soup dumplings, it is estimated that this soup dumplings are really extraordinary.
So, he immediately started cheating again.
Identification!
Although he didn't have any points and couldn't identify the secret recipe for this soup dumpling, he could judge the grade of this soup dumpling through the message fed back by the system.
His expression immediately became dull again.
"Jinling Dong's soup dumplings, it takes 10,000 points to identify this food, and now the host points are 0, which cannot be identified, please get points as soon as possible. ”
Wow, 10,000 points, equivalent to one million soft girl coins!
Doesn't this mean that this soup dumpling has reached the level of the top grade?
Ivan was really surprised.
Among the ingredients or foods he had identified before, the highest was barely at the level of the middle grade, and that was the squirrel fish secret sauce just now.
Listening to Tie Niu, it is still Chef Zheng's exclusive secret recipe.
But now, a little girl who looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old has made a high-grade delicacy?
No wonder Dong Xiaowan can be ranked among the top ten kitchen gods in later generations, it seems that she is indeed very talented in this regard!
Ivan also confirmed once again that the source of learning for this mission's soup dumplings was not Chef Zheng, but Dong Xiaowan.
But the question is, how did you learn the secret recipe from this little girl?
Because he was so engrossed, Ivan began to be in a daze again.
This aroused Dong Xiaowan's curiosity again.
She thought to herself, this Derpy is really a little stupid, even eating a bun can stay like this.
"You're eating!"
She began to urge.
