This knife technique is wonderful, but it is very tiring to practice.

The machete, which weighs five pounds, is carried in the hand one by one, and it is necessary to use force to control the knife when it is low, which is really not an ordinary effort.

After a few dozen strokes, Ivan's arm became a little sore.

"Derpy, do you want to change to a smaller knife practice?"

"No, I'll practice my left hand first. ”

Ivan, however, had a new idea.

The intensity of the practice of the basic skills of this knife work is not ordinary, even if it is an iron man, he can't stand it and keep practicing like this.

According to modern fitness, this kind of high-intensity exercise should be done in groups, and it should be practiced for a while to rest for a while, so that the body can recover to its best condition.

Therefore, Ivan has time to practice.

If you have time, practice your left hand as well!

It's not that Ivan wants his left hand to be like a god, but he treats it as fitness.

Since it is fitness, you have to balance left and right, otherwise your right hand will be thick and your left hand will be thin in the future, which will be a bit ugly.

After practicing for a while, Ivan's left hand was also sore, and he changed to a bone chopping knife of more than two catties, and swung the knife in a restored posture.

Not to mention, after changing the heavy knife to the light knife, the feeling is different.

The two-pound bone chopping knife is actually not light, but now that Ivan is carrying it in his hand, it feels light and fluttering, and it is easy to control.

Maybe that's the benefit of trading big for small.

After Ivan slashed for a while, he changed to a knife of about a pound.

That feeling of being in control is back here.

"Let's practice with these three knives first, and when you are done, you will add lighter knives later. If you can still afford it, then go from light to heavy!"

Iron Bull reminded.

It's time to practice the other way around.

Ivan once again discovered the benefits of this practice.

From light to heavy, the new knife suddenly became much heavier, so that it took more effort to control, which made the knife in the hand have a feeling of heaviness, and the accuracy seemed to be a little higher.

He suddenly realized.

It is controlled by heavy knives and light practice, and the accuracy is retrained by light knives.

It's no wonder that Tie Niu has such a powerful knife skill at a young age, and it seems that he has the right method.

Ivan was overjoyed.

Now it seems that this mission has really gained a lot.

He was so excited that he picked up the knife again until his hands were completely sore, and he was weak to swing it.

It's time to rest, otherwise it will be difficult for the hand to recover.

Ivan stopped just in time.

It just so happened that Dong Xiaowan came over again, followed by her girl and the little girl who delivered meat.

It's time to prepare the buns that will be sold tonight.

Don't think that making steamed buns is simple, even if it is divided according to the large process, it is also divided into five parts: boiling jelly, chopping meat filling, making dough buns with dough, and steaming buns.

These five processes are divided into time periods, so as to ensure that the steamed buns are finally steamed out of the best quality.

But this is just right, Ivan has used a co-ordinated method to arrange the whole process properly, so that he and Tie Niu's free time can be used without delaying the business of the two.

Now it's time to boil the skin jelly, and after the skin is boiled, it has to be chilled with well water for a while to let it solidify into a paste.

It is not easy to boil the skin jelly.

After the meat skin is taken, it must be cut into long strips, then blanched with boiling water with cooking wine, and then used a knife to remove the fat and fat inside, and then cut it into fine dices, and then add the ingredients to boil and filter it over a fierce fire, and finally chill it into a skin jelly that can be used for filling.

The process is very complex.

The three began to work together.

Ivan is responsible for cutting strips and removing hair, Dong Xiaowan is responsible for blanching, and Tie Niu is responsible for dicing, and finally boiled together in a big pot.

The boiling of skin jelly is a key process, in order to ensure the heat and keep it secret, this step naturally has to be controlled by Dong Xiaowan himself.

In this way, Ivan was liberated again.

Because the skin jelly took a bit long to boil, during this period, Tie Niu began to help chop the meat filling, and Ivan could come to a set of basic knife skills to practice.

After the skin jelly was ready, Tie Niu and Ivan had to start killing and marinating fish again, preparing a large amount of squirrel fish ingredients for Chef Zheng for the evening.

That's just right, too.

During the time when Ivan and Tie Niu were killing fish, Dong Xiaowan could go back to his building to boil crystal dough.

That's also a critical process and can't be leaked.

By the time Dong Xiaowan prepared the dough, the fish on Ivan's side were almost finished.

In this way, he can free up his hands to help Dong Xiaowan make buns.

After the buns are wrapped, all that remains is steaming in the end.

Steaming is not a big problem, this can be done by any person.

At this time, Dong Xiaowan had to go back to Xiaolou to dress up and prepare for the evening.

It was perfect in terms of timing.

In fact, because today is a trial launch, the amount of work done is not much, a total of 50 cages of soup dumplings and 10 cages of crystal packets, which gives Ivan and Tie Niu a lot of free time.

It is beneficial to cooperate with Dong Xiaowan.

Because she is a celebrity in Qin Lou, and Ivan is still a newcomer, and the business of filling soup dumplings is related to Qin Lou's profits, Dong Xiaowan mentioned it to Chef Zheng slightly, and Chef Zheng did not arrange other chores for Ivan.

In this way, Ivan can also find time to practice a few more sets of basic sword skills.

As night falls, the lights come on.

Qin Lou, which was a little quiet during the day, immediately became noisy, and Ivan was in the back kitchen, and he could hear the shouting, laughter, and silk bamboo sounds not far away.

The guests began to make their debuts.

Some of them will drink flower wine in Qinlou, drink and have fun with the ladies, and some will move to the Qinlou's own dock with Hongling, board the painting boat where it is docked, and after a little eating, they will start tonight's sound of dogs and horses.

Of course, Ivan, as a kitchen boy, is not qualified to go to that kind of sensual occasion.

But he still has a task tonight: steaming buns.

Dong Xiaowan had already greeted Qin Lou according to Ivan's instructions, and began to try to push Xiaowan's buns.

It was a very crucial night.

Whether Xiaowan buns can sell well tonight is very crucial to whether Dong Xiaowan and Ivan can make a lot of money by relying on it.

Therefore, Ivan took the initiative to take on the task of steaming steamed buns.

The guests began to order food one after another, and the servants in charge of serving the food began to shuttle between the back kitchen and the private rooms, and the shouts began to sound in the back kitchen.

"A serving of squirrel fish. ”

"A portion of stewed duck tongue. ”

"A portion of the liver. ”

......

Like the back kitchen of Ivan's five-star hotel, there are also people here who are in charge of arranging dishes, assigning the dishes ordered by guests to different chefs to cook in a very orderly manner.

Slightly different, there is more shouting here.

"Xiao Wan poured two soup packets. ”

Finally, Ivan heard the name of his own dish.

Moreover, as soon as the name of this dish came out, it never stopped.

"A small Wan crystal bag. ”

"Xiaowan crystal bag is another. ”

......

Ivan was overjoyed.

Let's not talk about what will happen in the future, at the very least, Xiaowan buns are starting to sell well!
