Chapter 204: The Heart of the Kitchen (Part 2)
This chapter is for the 400 VIPs who have reached 400 this week.
--------------- Friday afternoon, Xiao Yu and several people sat in the multi-functional teaching demonstration room and waited for the teacher to come to class.
Since Xiaoyu, Lingyun, Shen Mengqi, and Erya were a group during the internship, they also sat together during the theory class and demonstration class to facilitate communication with each other.
Usually this class is taken by the school responsible for short-term training, this *** is a chef who retired from the 'Jiangnan Chun' Huangpu branch, after retirement, Shen Mengqi's father arranged him in the culinary school, let him have residual heat, and by the way, give him more pension.
Every day, the students will be taught the practice of a dish, and at the same time, according to the characteristics of each dish, according to the characteristics of each dish, the students will be taught a variety of knife techniques, knife work, flower knives, spoons, dishes and other techniques, as well as a variety of cooking techniques such as burning, stir-frying, exploding, boiling, and frying.
The trainees deepened their impression through his personal demonstration on the spot, and in the following internship class, they made the dishes taught by *** as they were.
This *** is chubby, superb in cooking, and kind in person, and soon won the recognition of the students, and the four of Xiaoyu have also benefited a lot in the past ten days.
However, the person who walked into the multi-functional demonstration room during class today was not a chubby ***, but a shriveled little old man with gray hair.
The classmates all looked at this little old man with questioning eyes, not knowing where he was, but Xiao Yu and the others opened their mouths wide, because this little old man was the kitchen god who had not been seen for many days - Xie Guoming.
Since the first day of school and Shi Jianlong, Xiao Yu has not seen him on campus, Ling Yun has gone to the teacher's office several times to find this kitchen god, wanting to worship him as a teacher, but was told by other teachers that Teacher Xie went home to rest due to illness.
I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but this kitchen god is blowing.
Ling Yun was even more snorting, his eyes were full of admiration, if it wasn't for Xiao Yu to pull him, he would have rushed off the stage on the spot, kneeling on the ground and worshipping Xie Guoming as a teacher.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if there is something at home today, I will teach you a lesson, my name is Xie Guoming, and the dish we are going to learn today is tomato scrambled eggs."
As soon as Mr. Xie's words were finished, the students started to talk in a whisper, who wouldn't know how to scrambled eggs with tomatoes? This is almost a home-cooked meal on every dinner table, do you still have to learn this?
Xiao Yu and Ling Yun were also stunned, Shen Mengqi stabbed Xiao Yu's arm, and whispered with some dissatisfaction, "Senior, how can this kitchen god teach us such a simple dish as tomato scrambled eggs?" I thought he would teach us a state banquet dish! ”
Xiao Yu was shocked and asked, "What?" The god of cooking, he has ever had a state banquet? ”
Shen Mengqi nodded and said, "Of course, when the President of the United States visited China the year before last, Director Wang of the Foreign Affairs Reception Department specially called him to ask him to be the chef of the welcome dinner. ”
Looking at Xie Guoming on the operating table, Xiao Yu's eyes were full of admiration, what a glorious thing it should be to be able to become the chef of the state banquet! It's just that why does the chef want to teach you the dish of tomato scrambled eggs today?
Xie Guoming stood behind the operating table and glanced around the classroom, although he was thin and small, but his aura seemed to be extremely powerful, and the students who were swept by his eyes did not dare to look at him, and the chaotic sound on the scene disappeared at once, and the classroom immediately became silent.
Xie Guoming coughed and said, "Before I demonstrate, please answer me a question, what does it depend on to make delicious food?" ”
This question seemed to be easy to answer, and immediately a student raised his hand and said, "Choose good ingredients!" ”
Xie Guoming shook his head.
"The right way to cook!"
Xie Guoming still shook his head.
"No gutter oil!" Ling Yun, who was beside Xiao Yu, raised his hand and replied.
Xie Guoming smiled, "That's right, we as chefs shouldn't use gutter oil, but that's not the answer to my question." ”
"Knife work!"
"Spice!"
"Heat!"
……
The students said seven or eight answers in a row, but they couldn't satisfy Xie Guoming.
Xiao Yu remembered the scene when he was developing the 'Best Chicken Chop Noodles', and his heart moved, and he raised his hand and said, "If you want to cook delicious food, in addition to the chef himself, he must have a deep understanding of the ingredients themselves!"
Xie Guoming glanced at Xiao Yu deeply, and seemed to recognize him as the young man who competed with Shi Jianlong last time, and nodded, "What you said is right, but it is still a little worse than my answer." ”
Seeing that there were no more students who raised their hands in the audience, Xie Guoming announced his answer, "If you want the food you cook to be affirmed by others, you must have a 'kitchen heart'!" ”
"Chef's heart? What's that? The students looked at each other, not knowing what this teacher Xie was selling.
"The heart of the chef runs through the whole cooking process, it allows you to concentrate on your work, it makes you feel that the food you are cooking is for the people closest to you, and naturally the deliciousness of the ingredients itself is presented to the greatest extent, which is the highest level of cooking!"
After Xie Guoming finished speaking, he began to make the dish of tomato scrambled eggs.
I saw that his movements seemed to be flowing smoothly, every step seemed to be natural, the calm and chic when cutting tomatoes, the wild and elegant when beating eggs, the feeling of smoothness and ease was similar to the feeling when appreciating his food carving skills on the first day of school, which made people's eyes unconsciously attracted to him.
Xie Guoming's attentive expression when cooking made all the students stunned, they didn't expect that making such a simple home-cooked meal would require such a serious attitude.
After a while, the aroma of tomato scrambled eggs came out from the operating table, the smell was so good, almost everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, the aroma entered the nose, as if every pore of the body was cheering, although I had just eaten lunch, but the stomach involuntarily made a 'coo' sound, obviously I can't wait to taste this delicacy.
Xie Guoming on the operating table had already put the tomato scrambled eggs on the plate, took another raw tomato, took out the knife of the food carving, and 'brushed and brushed' more than a dozen knives, and a lifelike swan appeared on the edge of the plate.
Xiao Yu and the others have seen the kitchen god carving a phoenix with tofu, so they will naturally not be so shocked as the other students, but they are also amazed by the superb skills of the kitchen god from the bottom of their hearts.
The tomato scrambled eggs were ready, and the chef asked each group to send a representative to the stage to taste it.
Xiao Yu's group unanimously agreed to decide the taster by guessing the boxing, and Xiao Yu, who has the ability to read minds, naturally became the final champion, which made Shen Mengqi unhappy for a while, and kept muttering, "How did the senior know that people were going to punch?" It's really annoying, people really want to eat that plate of tomato scrambled eggs......"
Xiao Yu, who was already beside the operating table, naturally did not hear Shen Mengqi's complaints, he was already attracted by the exclamations of the former interview students.
"Oops, it's so delicious, I've never had such a delicious tomato scrambled egg!"
"Oh my God, this is simply a delicacy in the world, how can the scale of this dish be so good to grasp the sweet and sour scale? The eggs are even more tender and smooth, and they go perfectly with tomatoes! ”
"Woo woo, I want to cry, this dish reminds me of my girlfriend."
……
Listening to the comments of the students, Xiao Yu's heart also itched, he wanted to know what the tomato scrambled eggs made by the chef tasted like, and whether he could comprehend the mysterious 'heart of the chef' from this dish?
As the students in front of them finished tasting one by one, it was finally Xiaoyu's turn.
Picking up a spoon, Xiao Yu scooped a spoonful of tomato scrambled eggs and put it in his mouth.
The sweet and sour feeling seems to arouse the perception of every taste bud, the tender egg and tomato are mixed together, and the original deliciousness of the ingredients itself is vividly outlined by the chef, which is the taste of first love......
On the green lawn, a pair of young men and women were laughing and chasing, the girl who ran in front of her was fluttering in white, and the laughter like silver bells came far away, she laughed so innocently, so innocently, that even a pair of unknown birds were attracted to her, and couldn't stop singing above her head.
"Xiaofei, you can't catch up, haha, you can't catch up!" The girl looked back and smiled as she ran, watching the boy who had accidentally fallen behind her get up from the ground in embarrassment, and a shallow star-shaped birthmark appeared on her forehead, making her look like a holy fairy, unbelievably beautiful.
"Shadow~~~" Xiao Yu closed his eyes, and two crystal tears slipped faintly from the corners of his eyes.
This dish of the chef actually reminded him of 'Shadow'.
As time passed, he felt more and more that the hope of reuniting with 'Shadow' was so slim, maybe she was just an illusory character, maybe she was just a bunch of data, maybe it was just a dream of his own, but why did he feel that she was so real, as if it was within reach?
Her voice and smile, every strand of her hair, and even her orchid-like body fragrance made him feel that the real existence of the 'shadow', maybe she was somewhere, quietly, quietly guarding herself.
Returning to his seat, Xiao Yu didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he didn't even know what Shen Mengqi and the others said to him.
When he came to his senses, he felt a girl's fragrance coming into his nose, and someone was shaking his shoulders and shouting in his ear, "Senior! Wake up! Senior! What happened to you? ”
There was a little anxiety in his voice, Xiao Yu didn't need to look to know that the person who spoke was Shen Mengqi.
Xiao Yu opened his eyes slightly, and there was a large patch of snow-white skin in his eyes, only to find that Shen Mengqi was standing in front of him, leaning over and shaking his shoulders, and the direction his eyes were facing was her chest.
Although Shen Mengqi is two years younger than herself, her figure is very well developed, through the opening on the chest of the suspender, two semicircular ru balls fluctuate with the movements, Xiao Yu only glanced at it, he felt a little dizzy, his heart beat faster, and he quickly closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it again.
At this time, Shen Mengqi happened to turn her head and talk to Ling Yun and Erya next to her, but she didn't notice that Xiao Yu had woken up.
Ling Yun's voice came from the side, "I think this should be a temporary absence of consciousness, and he needs external stimulation to help him wake up, I'll go find a basin of cold water and pour it on his head, it should be fine." ”
Erya said beside him, "I don't know if pricking the tube with a needle works?" I've got a needle for sewing clothes here, so I'll try to prick his arm first. ”
Xiao Yu's heart was so heavy that he couldn't pretend anymore, he let out a moan from his mouth and opened his eyes.
"Yikes! Senior, are you awake? What happened to you just now? Scared the hell out of me! Shen Mengqi immediately noticed Xiao Yu's movement and shouted happily.
Xiao Yu saw the concerned look on her face, and his heart was also moved, and he whispered to her, "I'm just distracted, it's nothing, hey, the 'heart of the kitchen' is too profound, although I have some feelings, I still can't understand it." ”
Shen Mengqi said with a smile, "Senior, if the kitchen god's stunt is so easy to comprehend, wouldn't everyone become a kitchen god?" After all, in this world, there is only one kitchen god. ”
Ling Yun interjected beside him, "Zhang Xiaoyu, Shen Mengqi, the next session is the internship class, the students have all gone to the internship hall, let's hurry up!" Otherwise, it will be too late! ”
