Chapter 7 Chopping vegetables is also an art

Many people know this truth, but it is one thing to know it, and it is another thing to be willing to put it into practice. The main reason for the www.biquge.info of pen & fun & pavilion is that few people can bear the boredom and suffering.

Basic cultivation requires unremitting and repetitive training, and if a person is asked to do the same thing every day, it will be fine if the time is short, but how can he not feel bored after a long time? If the time is a little longer, then there will naturally be no fun at all, and it will become a kind of torment altogether.

The biggest difference between Wu Xie and others is that he can endure loneliness and endure hardships.

He has lost his support since he was a child, and he needs to come out to work to earn money at a young age. Over the years, he has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world and seen the darkness and cruelty at the bottom of society.

In Wu Xie's eyes, this is a world where the weak eat the strong, and the reason why warriors can kill ordinary civilians without bearing any legal responsibility is because they are strong enough, and if they want to survive well in this cruel world, the first thing they have to do is to strengthen themselves.

Because of this, Wu Xie has a passion for martial arts that is far beyond ordinary people, and in order to make herself strong, she is willing to put in more hard work and effort than others.

After Wu Xie walked into the kitchen, all the people he knew greeted him with a smile, and Wu Xie responded with a smile one by one, and the scene looked very lively.

After greeting everyone, Wu Xie began to get busy.

Not long after, a waiter walked into the kitchen, he went straight to Wu Xie's side, and said very politely: "Master Wu, just now a guest ordered a hot and sour potato shreds, and he asked you to cut vegetables." ”

The people in the kitchen all laughed when they heard this, and the reason why the guests made such a request was because Wu Xie's knife work had already made a name for itself in this neighborhood.

Many diners know that Keyingmen Restaurant has a very good knife master, who is said to cut the dishes very evenly, and even carves many exquisite patterns on the ingredients according to the guests' requirements.

Before everyone could laugh, another waiter walked in.

"Master Wu, the guest just now also named you to see the orchid tofu you carved, and they ordered two servings, you better hurry up, the guest is waiting." ”

In recent years, the price of vegetarian dishes is more than a hundred times more expensive than meat dishes, because the ingredients of meat dishes are relatively easy to obtain, and there are many mutant creatures in the wilderness area.

Therefore, the price of meat is generally low, and the price of a pound of good animal meat is only fifty earth coins.

But vegetarian food is different, the earth is seriously polluted, the sky is full of particles floating, it is difficult for sunlight to reach the ground, and it is very difficult to grow vegetables.

It's like the potatoes needed to make shredded sour and sour potatoes, before the outbreak of the World Destruction War, the price of a pound of potatoes was only about ten earth coins.

But now, the price of a pound of potatoes has soared to an astonishing 2,900 earth coins, which is almost equivalent to the monthly salary that Wu Xie earned by working in the Rising Sun Martial Arts Pavilion.

In these days, most of the people who can afford to eat vegetarian dishes are rich and powerful, and many poor people have never had the opportunity to taste the taste of vegetarian dishes in their lifetimes, so the restaurant attaches great importance to such guests, otherwise the waiter will not come to the kitchen to place an order.

Wu Xie showed a very friendly smile when he heard this: "No problem, I'll start work." ”

Wu Xie walked to the special refrigerated cabinet as he spoke, opened the cabinet door and took out a potato weighing half a catty, then picked up the planer, and first shaved off the skin of the potato.

Wu Xie carefully rinsed the peeled potatoes with water, and then picked up the kitchen knife and got busy.

Wu Xie made a quick and accurate knife, and quickly cut the potatoes into slices, and then he stacked the potato slices together and began to shred.

In the sound of "tuk tuk", Wu Xie's wrist holding the knife pushed forward at a very uniform speed, and in less than ten seconds, the neatly cut shredded potatoes appeared on the board.

Others couldn't help but admire when they saw this scene, although everyone had seen the scene of Wu Xie cutting vegetables more than once, but seeing it again at this moment, everyone still couldn't help but marvel.

Facing everyone's exclamation, Wu Xie just smiled, he put the shredded potatoes into the vegetable basket and rinsed them, and then handed them to the chef Elder Chen, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Xiao Wu, to be honest, watching you chop vegetables is a great pleasure, in my opinion, you are not just chopping vegetables, but an artistic performance, everyone right?" Lao Chen picked up the vegetable basket that was still dripping and said with a smile

The people in the kitchen all laughed and agreed, Wu Xie said a few words modestly, and then took out two pieces of tofu from the refrigerator and carved them on the tofu with a special utility knife.

Wu Xie used the knife like a fly, and he didn't seem to worry about mistakes at all, and in less than two minutes, these two pieces of tofu were carved into two lifelike orchids by him.

If you don't look at the material, just look at the shape, I'm afraid that many people will mistakenly think that these are really two orchids.

The chef poured a little seasoning on top of the orchid tofu, then put a few green cabbage leaves to decorate, and handed the two plates of orchid tofu to the waiter and served them out.

Wu Xie didn't have time to rest at all, he picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, and began to process other ingredients.

In the luxurious box on the second floor of the Keyingmen restaurant, the waiter brought in sour and hot shredded potatoes and orchid tofu.

There were five people sitting in the box, and after the waiter finished serving, the guest in charge immediately waved his hand and signaled them to leave the box.

When the waiter went out, the guest immediately locked the door, and then he glanced at a young man sitting next to him: "Xiao Yang, you can start." ”

Xiao Yang was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a student, and when he heard this, he nodded, and took out an infrared measuring instrument from the backpack he was carrying.

After debugging the measuring instrument, he picked up a shredded potato with chopsticks and put it on the table, and used the measuring instrument to detect it.

Soon, Xiao Yang reported the test results: "Boss, this shredded potato is five millimeters wide and two millimeters thick. ”

The man in charge nodded and motioned for Xiao Yang to continue, and Xiao Yang took another shredded potato and measured it.

After a while, Xiao Yang reported the test results again: "Boss, the width and thickness of this shredded potato are no different from the first one. ”

The man in charge hummed and motioned for Xiao Yang to continue measuring.

A minute later, Xiao Yang measured a total of eight shredded potatoes, and the results showed that all of them were five millimeters wide and two millimeters thick, and the neatness was breathtaking.
