Chapter 177: Subtlety
A man's motivation to start learning to cook may not be to become a chef, but simply to make a delicious meal for someone to get psychological pleasure.
Rong Yu studied cooking in his last life out of pure interest and wanted to become a top chef. So his original intention has never changed. If learning to cook is to make someone happy, then the greatest meaning of pursuing cooking is lost.
Which is more pure to please one person or to please all those who have eaten your food?
Qian Duoduo didn't reply to the message until the early hours of the evening.
Qian Duoduo: I just finished the concert, and I've already arrived in Pengcheng. I haven't had time to enjoy the night view here. I'll take a picture of you then! The song we wrote together is so good that we've been singing it back several times. I miss you, I miss the noodles you make, I want us to snuggle up in the quilt and write words together. I want to travel the world with you. Husband, I still want a child, I like children, I like you more, and the matter of buying a house, when I come back, we will look at the house together......
Qian Duoduo's reply has been full of words, and he can't add the number of words, full of Rory's rambling words, as well as his plans for the future, also make this girl full of thoughts about the future life of the two......
The two people who plan for the future must be very beautiful lovers.
Most of the people who can only recall the good past are people who are facing a love crisis.
The life of an art chef is unhurried, and even the waiter will sit under the tree and take a nap when he is done in the morning, or drink tea and chat in the lounge.
Everyone is at home, living like a swaying smoke.
Now in the art kitchen, Huang Jia and Lei Xiao go out every day, and rarely settle down in the art kitchen. Because the two of them are going to start investigating and preparing to build a vegetable base and a breeding base.
So I went to the suburbs all day long, talking about land rental, talking about engineering......
With a "snap", a fish went from the pool to the eucalyptus board, and then Fan Ran began to practice his knife skills. The knife work pays attention to cutting, chopping, cracking, batching, and chopping. These five types of knife work alone can derive 21 knife techniques.
For these techniques, Fan Ran has already practiced very proficiently.
I have to say that he is a very hard worker. In order to pursue his dreams, man can always endure loneliness, and do things that seem very boring day after day, but are indeed extremely happy in him.
Fan Ran is such a young man.
There are always some hard-working people who will give some comfort to this impetuous society.
Rong Yu likes to see Fan Ran's serious practice of knife work, and from him, he can see the desperate look of his teenage years in his previous life.
The years can always reproduce the beauty they yearn for in others.
"Touch, touch to feel the essence of the ingredients. Seeing is the initial judgment of the ingredients, smelling is the further exploration of the ingredients, and touching is like cutting in traditional Chinese medicine. Feel whether the ingredients have changed in nature by touching. Of course, if it is like traditional Chinese medicine, there is still a lot to learn from. ”
When Rong Yu was talking to Fan Ran, not only Fan Ran was listening, but even Wang Tiejun, a veteran knife worker for many years, was listening.
"Why is this still connected with Chinese medicine?" Wang Tiejun felt a little subverted of his cognition.
Rong Yu smiled: "It's a reference!" "Correct Wang Tiejun.
As he spoke, Rong Yu walked in front of Fan Ran, stretched out his hand, and pressed it on the fish that was still moving. One hand stroked from head to tail. Then I clapped my hands and went to the sink to wash.
"Slice and make hot pot!" Rong Yu said.
Fan Ran began to use the knife.
"There will be a difference in meat quality between a dying fish and a very strong fresh fish, even if they are produced in the same place and of the same species. Because before the fish dies, a large amount of food residues and bacteria will accumulate in the body, which can easily cause damage to the flesh, so once the fish dies, it will soon stink, which is also related to this. It can also secrete a toxin, which paralyzes the nerves of the fish, so that the inflation and deflation of the swim bladder cannot be controlled, so we will turn their bellies when we see the fish dying. This toxin can also affect the quality of the fish's meat. ”
Rong Yu explained to the two.
"So we choose fresh fish to make fillet, whether it is shabu-shabu, stewed soup, or sashimi, and we will only feel the tenderness of the fish, and there will be no other complex taste and smell."
Fan Ran stopped and looked at Rong Yu with some incredulity.
Wang Tiejun sighed continuously and rubbed his hands.
Rong Yu continued: "In fact, this is also a way to pursue culinary skills. I call this path subtlety. ”
Subtlety is a path.
This is one of the paths that Rong Yu once pursued in cooking, and now he has told the two of them this path, that is, he hopes that the two of them can explore their own subtleties on this road.
Fan Ran nodded, as if he understood this meaning a little.
But how to do it, you have to explore it yourself. Fish is just one ingredient, so how to nuanced other ingredients? This is the master leading the door, and the cultivation is in the individual.
"Lao Wang!"
Rong Yu said to Wang Tiejun again.
Wang Tiejun immediately replied: "Here!" "Keep your head up and your chest together.
Rong Yu smiled: "No need to do this, it's not in the army!" ”
Wang Tiejun smiled: "Get used to it, it's like accepting a task before the war, so that you can be more confident." Master, you say, I'll listen! ”
That's a good attitude.
Wang Tiejun's attitude has always been very good, especially with his own pursuit goals and Rong Yu's guidance, he is full of confidence in his future cooking skills.
"It's not just about the ingredients, it's about the cooking." Rong Yu also pointed him out, but when he was instructing Wang Tiejun, Fan Ran would also listen to him.
Wang Tiejun nodded: "How do you understand the subtlety of this cooking?" ”
"It's every little change in the cooking process. It's not just the changes in the ingredients you cook, but even the changes in the fire and condiments. At this point, you can learn from the Michelin chefs. ”
Rong Yu gave Wang Tiejun advice.
Wang Tiejun touched his head: "It's too expensive." ”
"Approve your funding!" Rong Yu waved his hand, "We can't do it behind closed doors, we have to practice, learn from it, and embrace all rivers." After fusion, you can form your unique cooking skills. And then to pursue a higher level of cooking. ”
"And what is the kitchen?"
Wang Tiejun looked at Rong Yu longingly.
Rong Yu smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what the kitchen is." But when anything rises to the Tao, it's not just a matter of cooking. So the way of cooking is a philosophy of eating. The philosophy of eating that I can understand now is that taste is born from each other, and each other is born from the heart. ”
"Taste is born from each other, and each other is born from the heart?" Wang Tiejun and Fan Ran said this at the same time, and then touched their heads together very tacitly.
Rong Yu sighed: "Alas, I don't think you two should pursue any cooking first." Let's take a remedial cultural class first. It's nerve-wracking. ”
"Hehe, just ask if you don't understand." Wang Tiejun pretended to smile innocently.
But Rong Yu didn't fall for him, this is a middle-aged man who looks honest and has a lot of eyes.
"In the past, I always emphasized the emotional impact of the chef on the customer, which in turn affected the change in the taste of the dish. Try to achieve the realm of taste born from the heart. But now that I have taken it a step further, I feel that there are great limitations to relying on the charisma of the chef to influence. Cooking, on the other hand, should be a complete dish that can complete the process. ”
"What do you mean?" This time it was Fan Ran who asked. Obviously, he was confused.
Rong Yu tried to be as popular as possible: "As long as this dish is put on the table, it can affect people's emotions, so as to achieve empathy with people, or pleasure, or memory, or sadness, or emotion......"
Wang Tiejun opened his mouth and stammered: "This ...... It's hard to achieve, right? ”
"It's not hard." Rong Yu said, "Like many philosophies, it should not be something obscure, but it should be so easy for everyone to understand and use to explain the phenomena in life." ”
"Is it possible?"
Wang Tiejun asked. Fan Ran was silent anymore, because he basically couldn't understand it anymore. There's nothing to ask if you want to.
"Of course it's possible." Rong Yu looked at him and smiled, "The well frog can't speak to the sea." This philosophy is to tell people not to talk to the frogs living in the well about what the sea is like, because it is limited by the space in the well and does not know what it is. To put it more clearly, it means that some people are short-sighted and have a hard time understanding things that they have not seen. Just like I talked to you about this flavor that comes from the heart. ”
"It's so profound!"
Fan Ran couldn't help it, and sighed blindly.
As soon as I remembered what Rong Yu said, if you want to pursue cooking, you have to go to school. Both of them had a sore skull. Why is it so complicated?
Fan Ran picked up the knife and began to "brush and brush" at the beginning of the fish, which was emotional.
Rong Yu laughed: "Remember." Emotions are also a kind of subtlety! ”
Fan Ran was stunned for a moment, then looked at the few knives he had just made, and then looked at Rong Yu and Wang Tiejun in a daze.
Wang Tiejun was displeased: "What do you think I'm doing?" ”
"Got it!" Fan Ran suddenly laughed, "Master, the subtlety of emotions is very amazing, when I used the knife just now, because of the influence of emotions, I almost didn't think about it, how to get this knife down, how to get the next knife, it's based on emotions, but the fish that comes out of the film ...... It's really different. It's not thinner or it's more uniform. It's like the fillet is flying around with emotion in front of me. ”
Rong Yu's skull hurt, speechless, looking at Wang Tiejun.
Wang Tiejun immediately turned around: "I'll feel the feelings first." Xiao Fan, you are busy first! I'm leaving! "It's gone.
Rong Yu sighed and turned to leave the kitchen.
Fan Ran involuntarily touched his head, into detail? Doesn't that count? Didn't you say that emotions can also be subtle? What's going on? It's really different.
The apprentice is still an apprentice, and he has suffered the loss of no culture.
But both of them can still be saved.
As soon as Rong Yu came out, Huang Jia came over and asked, "Brother Yu, I decided to learn cooking." I'll go and learn knives from Fan Ran. ”
"You'd better tutor your language first." Rong Yu suggested.
