Chapter 239: Follow the boss to have good food to eat
Under normal circumstances, college athletes have a supporting nutrition canteen, and there is a special person in charge of the meal.
Therefore, Coach Yin did not want to agree with Chen Lei and others' proposal to use "Jiang Yu's nutritious meal" as a reward to motivate this group of students, so as to improve their training enthusiasm.
In fact, his impression of Jiang Yu was not very good, because when he was on a business trip last year, the Seven Canteens happened to be open, and Liu Xiaohu and these people couldn't control their mouths at all, and they went to the Seven Canteens to eat and drink at the end of three days.
When Coach Yin came back from a business trip, he was so angry that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage, including Liu Xiaohu, at least seven or eight team members were fat!
Especially Liu Xiaohu, his belly has come out!
A person who practices high jump has a belly, can he still jump?!
It is precisely because of this that Coach Yin has always felt that Jiang Yu and the Seven Canteens should not stay in the school.
You said that you are a canteen, and the food you sell can fill your stomach, why are you making it so delicious?!
This is simply "poison" for those students who practice physical education!
However, it is useless if Coach Yin doesn't want to agree, Chen Lei and the others are specially invited by the school to train these students one-on-one, not to mention their achievements in competitive sports, which are obvious to all, and the coach of his own school track and field team, why stop him?
To put it mildly, if I could improve the grades of this group of students in the past half a year, the school would not have invited this group of alumni over!
Therefore, although Coach Yin didn't say it, he was still a little frustrated in his heart.
Now Chen Lei and others suggested that this "incentive method" should be used to improve the enthusiasm of students for independent training, then he could only agree.
Of course, in fact, he also wanted to see in his heart whether the method suggested by Chen Lei and others had any effect and how effective it could be?
In the final analysis, Coach Yin also hopes to squeeze out the potential of these students and greatly improve their grades, but he doesn't have the ability to do it!
At this moment, after Coach Yin, who was in a somewhat complicated mood, conveyed the news to Liu Xiaohu and others, he immediately found that the situation was different!
One by one, they were stunned at first, and then they were ecstatic, and their eyes seemed to be shining, and they all involuntarily emitted a green light, as if a hungry beast had smelled blood, and the suppressed excitement of the discussion suddenly rang out:
"Reward Senior Brother Jiang for making a nutritious meal? Hold the grass! Brother, give me a punch to wake me up, I must have been dreaming just now! ”
"This, is this true?! Didn't Old Demon Yin strictly prohibit us from going to the Seven Canteens before? What's going on today? ”
"Happiness came so suddenly! The nutritious meals made by Senior Brother Jiang are definitely 10,000 times better than the nutritious meals we eat, and I want to eat them every day! ”
"What do you want? Only the top three people who have improved their grades will have to eat, just by you? ”
“……”
As a group of people talked, they began to fight against each other, and just listening to it was full of gunpowder, as if they were about to fight on the spot if they didn't agree with each other.
No way, this is a nutritious meal made by Senior Brother Jiang himself, not to mention the comprehensive nutrition, the key is delicious!
In the past half a year, I have seen that those classmates around me have eaten fat, but they have been stared at by Old Demon Yin every day, not to mention going to the Seven Canteen to taste the food cooked by Senior Brother Jiang, and even the stadium opposite the Seven Canteen will not let them go!
However, people's desires are often more and more suppressed, and the more Coach Yin refuses to let them go to the Seven Canteen to eat, the more they are hungry.
Now that I finally have a chance to taste it, who would be willing to give up?
Seeing these students fighting each other one by one, like a group of small fighting cocks, Coach Yin's black face became darker, while Chen Lei and Lin Yahui glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but laugh happily.
It's done!
When they discussed using "nutritious meals made by Jiang Yu" to motivate students, they were actually a little apprehensive in their hearts, worried that this trick would not be useful and would not stimulate the enthusiasm and competitiveness of the students.
If that's the case, it would be embarrassing.
But now seeing that these students were so excited that they were like a group of monkeys who broke into the orchard and picked peaches, Chen Lei, Lin Yahui and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Morale is available, and the future is promising!
Seeing that the enthusiasm of the students was mobilized, Chen Lei, Lin Yahui and others no longer delayed time, and stepped forward one after another, leading the students of their respective specialties to the side for training.
For a while, the entire training ground was full of people, and at a glance, it was all student athletes training hard......
……
Dining room seven, in the kitchen.
Although it was still early, after breakfast, Jiang Yu had already returned here.
In addition to him, Du Guangning also rushed over early, his whole person looked jubilant, and there was always a smirk on his face, and those who didn't know thought that he had picked up a bride on the way in the morning.
If Du Guangning knew about other people's speculations, he would probably scoff and disdain, what is it to pick up a bride on the road, then it is worth being so happy?
What happened to him now was much happier than picking up a bride!
Just before getting off work yesterday, when Du Guangning cleaned up the kitchen and was about to leave, Jiang Yu suddenly stopped him and asked him seriously:
"Xiao Du, you've been working in the No. 7 dining room for a while, do you think you're a little condescending to me every day?"
At that time, Du Guangning's whole head was stunned when he heard this question, he hadn't thought about it at all!
Besides, does this question still need to be considered?
Although he has some cooking skills, his level is obviously not as good as the boss's, and the dishes he makes are not as delicious as the boss's, and even the dishes he masters are not as good as the boss......
For example, I have never heard of Wanfu meat, a palace dish made by the boss before.
At my own level, it is already very good to be able to play with the boss, not only can I learn a lot of cooking skills, but I can also learn a lot of new dishes that I have not been able to master before.
The most important thing is to follow the boss to have meat to eat!
Oh no! It's to follow the boss to have delicious dishes to eat!
As for Qu or Not? Only when you are talented will you bend!
He didn't think he was talented, so how could he be talented?
So, Du Guangning didn't even think about it, shook his head vigorously, and said with a firm face:
"Boss, I don't think there's anything condescending, the boss was willing to keep me to help, I'm already very grateful, how can I feel condescending?
No, not at all! ”
"Do you have any ideas for yourself?"
Jiang Yu smiled and said,
"I remember when you came here, but you always wanted to be the head chef of Dining Room Seven, and now what?
Are you planning to stay here for me, or do you want to learn something and cook on your own in the future?
Or, after staying here for a while, go to another restaurant or something?
What do you think? ”
When Du Guangning heard this, he suddenly felt shocked.
Boss, this question is not simple, how do you feel that no matter how I answer, it is like "sending a proposition"?
However, he has always been quite "iron-headed", otherwise he would not have worked against other chefs in several restaurants before, so that he would be squeezed out by others.
After thinking about it for a moment, he asked with a serious face:
"Boss, do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear a lie?"
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "How to say the truth, how to say the false?" ”
"It's a lie, I'm just thinking about how easy it is to keep working under the boss!"
Du Guangning raised his hand and touched his nose, and said with some embarrassment,
"As for the truth, then I must want to learn some skills and strive to be able to cook independently in the future, if I have enough ability to have the opportunity to be a chef, then I must also think about it."
As a chef, I want my dishes to be liked by my customers, and I want to hear people compliment me on how good my dishes are.
But I didn't think about going to other restaurants, my character is not suitable for that kind of place where there are too many people, wasn't this how I was kicked out before?
】
I really don't want to encounter this kind of encounter again, if I really have this ability, I might as well open a small restaurant by myself. ”
"Okay, then I got it."
Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard Du Guangning's "true and false words", he nodded and said,
"If you just want to get started, then I'm really going to have a hard time, since you still want to be a chef, and you also want to learn cooking, then I'll give you a chance.
Come over early tomorrow and follow me to cook cold dishes first, and when you have mastered the cold dishes that are often made in our restaurant, I will start teaching you how to cook hot dishes. ”
"Really?"
When Du Guangning heard this, the whole person was stunned.
He thought that Jiang Yu asked him so many questions to see if he would "jump ship and run away", where would he think that Jiang Yu was thinking about teaching himself to cook?
From ancient times to the present, no matter which industry the craftsman, that has always been "the law is not lightly preached, the Tao is not cheaply sold", even if there is a master willing to take an apprentice, it is also hidden, reluctant, even if it is really taught, then in the end it has to be left behind.
This is called just in case, lest "the apprentice was taught to starve to death of the master."
Who has ever seen a craft that can be easily learned, let alone someone who offers to teach you the craft?
But now that Du Guangning has met him, how can he not be surprised?
"Really."
Jiang Yu also ignored Du Guangning's surprised expression, and said with a smile,
"Of course, if you don't want to, then if I don't say it, I'll find someone else at that time."
Jiang Yu had actually started to teach Du Guangning cooking before, but at that time, he would only teach him one or two dishes when he was free, which was actually not systematic.
And the reason why I brought up this matter with him now is because Jiang Yu feels that he can't be chained here all the time by the No. 7 dining room, just like he couldn't be chained to the No. 7 canteen all the time.
He can't be the only chef in the seventh dining room, otherwise, once he has something to go out, the restaurant will have to close.
Not to mention the distance, he still wants to go and see the Chinese Young Celebrity Chef Cooking Competition held in Tanzhou in August, and he also wants to go to Lu Shuwu's house to visit his grandfather Lu Jinsheng when the time comes.
It will take two or three days to go to the least, so what will happen to this restaurant? You can't go out of business again, can you?
Although I opened my own restaurant, I not only required to book a box in advance, but also made a "double holiday" system, which must be quite capricious, but if it closes at two ends in three days, it is too sorry for those diners who like the No. 7 dining room.
You can't be too capricious.
It is precisely because of these considerations that Jiang Yu wants to cultivate Du Guangning well.
Of course, the reason why Du Guangning was chosen was also because after this period of contact, Jiang Yu found that although he was straighter, he was still very serious and diligent in his work, and his temperament was not bad.
However, teaching Du Guangning cooking skills is only to teach him the dishes that customers often order in the "recommended menu" of No. 7 dining room.
As for the seasoning recipes provided by the food system, of course he would not easily hand them over to others, and he would naturally mix some of these seasonings in advance for Du Guangning to use when cooking.
"Yes, yes, I do!"
Du Guangning was already so happy at this moment that his whole body was about to float, he nodded again and again, and said excitedly,
"Then I'll go back and rest first, boss, I'll come over early tomorrow morning!"
As he spoke, he was afraid that Jiang Yu would regret it, so he turned around and rushed out of the kitchen, and he couldn't see anyone in a few steps.
Even if it was now a night later, Du Guangning was still a little incredulous, he couldn't figure it out at all, why Jiang Yu was willing to teach him how to cook?
But after coming to the kitchen early in the morning, Jiang Yu didn't say anything else, just ordered:
"Xiao Du, you go and see what cold dishes the guests in the four boxes have ordered today, and then prepare the main ingredients of these cold dishes.
If there's anything you don't know, don't be embarrassed, just ask me directly, don't mess around with yourself. ”
"Okay, boss!"
When Du Guangning heard this, he quickly nodded, and after putting aside all the distractions in his mind, he turned around and went to work.
It doesn't matter why the boss teaches him, the important thing is that he can't live up to the boss's trust!
The two of them were busy in the kitchen for a while, and when the main ingredients of the cold dishes to be made at noon today were ready, Jiang Yu stopped, turned his head to look at Du Guangning, and said to him:
"Our red eucalyptus chefs basically cook cold dishes, but the taste is different.
For example, you will definitely do the dish of roasted pepper mixed with beef, but how to make the beef tender, refreshing, spicy and fragrant requires a lot of thought. ”
Du Guangning saw that Jiang Yu didn't even give a chance to buffer, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he talked about the dish of roasted pepper mixed with beef, and immediately cheered up and listened seriously.
He really looks like a good student who studies seriously.
"Beef is not easy to taste, and it is generally marinated before making cold dishes."
Jiang Yu glanced at Du Guangning and said to him,
"Basically, every chef has his own idea of the marinade used to marinate beef, and if the marinade is different, the taste of the marinated beef will be different.
So, I've prepared a marinade for you, and you can use it to marinate beef when you cook this dish in the future. ”
As he spoke, he opened the small soup pot on the stove, and a rich aroma of braised beef suddenly came to his face, so that Du Guangning, who was standing aside, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Jiang Yu took out the marinated beef and put it aside to dry, then turned his head and asked:
"The small charcoal stove that you prepared before, has the fruit charcoal been lit?"
"It's burning, and the charcoal is already red."
Du Guangning answered, took a wet towel to pad his hands, and brought the small charcoal stove over.
"Okay, you put the washed green peppers and braised peppers on the barbecue grill of the small charcoal stove and cook them, remember to turn them over, don't burn them."
Jiang Yu looked at Du Guangning busy and asked again,
"You can also roast chili peppers in a hot pot, do you know why I should grill them over charcoal?"
Du Guangning thought for a while and asked, "Because it's more fragrant?" ”
Jiangzhou doesn't cook roasted pepper dishes here, Du Guangning actually doesn't know much, and now when Jiang Yu asks him, he can only guess.
"Well, because the chili pepper roasted with charcoal, although the speed will be a little slower, but because the roasting time is relatively long, the water in the chili will evaporate relatively dry, not only the taste is soft, the spicy taste is also more sufficient, and the most important thing is that there will be a unique smoke aroma of charcoal roasting."
Jiang Yu nodded and explained,
"When we cook, we must strive for perfection and strive to do our best every step of the way, so that the dishes will taste better."
"Well, I see, thank you boss!"
Du Guangning nodded heavily, and became more careful when he was charcoal-roasting the chili peppers, and from time to time he would turn over the chili peppers, for fear of losing face by roasting the lake.
This is the first cold dish he made under the guidance of Jiang Yu, and it would be a shame if it didn't taste good.
He would never allow that to happen!
After a while, Du Guangning finally roasted the peppers, and each pepper was roasted softly, and the skin was wrinkled, as if it was about to be taken off.
Put the roasted peppers in water to wash off the soot on the surface, and then tear off the hard layer of pepper skin on the outside and tear it into pieces by hand.
Immediately afterwards, he cut the beef that had been marinated and cooled into thin slices, put it in a bowl with the roasted pepper, and then added garlic, shallots, salt, monosodium glutamate, and the spicy sauce that Jiang Yu had already prepared in advance, and stirred well.
At this point, the dish is actually ready, and the next thing to do is to plate.
However, it is still early before noon, and the plating is not in a hurry, after Du Guangning mixed the beef, he looked at Jiang Yu a little impatiently, and said with an expectant face:
"Boss, would you like to have a taste?"
"Hmm."
Jiang Yu took a pair of clean fast sons, sandwiched a small piece of beef and put it in his mouth, chewed it gently, with a satisfied smile on his face, he nodded and said,
"Not bad! You can also try to make your own. ”
"Good!"
Du Guangning smiled all over his face, as if he was a student who had been praised by the teacher, and he also took a pair of clean fast sons, sandwiched a piece of beef and stuffed it in his mouth.
He had only chewed it twice, and his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of incredulity.
This, is this roasted pepper mixed with beef really made by yourself?
When will I be able to make such a delicious cold dish, I'm afraid I'm not dreaming, right?
Although he was shocked, Du Guangning knew that he was not dreaming, because the numb and spicy smell on his tongue, mixed with the unique spicy taste of charcoal-roasted chili, constantly stimulated his nerves, and the tender and chewy beef with tendons became more and more fragrant!
If it's really a dream, how can there be such a clear taste in a dream?!
After a while, Du Guangning came back to his senses, he ate the piece of beef in his mouth in three times and two times, and he felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he ate several pieces in a row, and then stopped contentedly.
When he found that Jiang Yu was still standing in front of him, Du Guangning realized that he was a little out of shape, he raised his hand and scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment:
"I'm sorry, boss, I couldn't hold back just now, I ate a few more pieces, I really didn't expect that this roast pepper mixed beef is so delicious!"
After finishing speaking, he realized that what he said was wrong, and hurriedly "remedied" again,
"If it weren't for the marinade and the spicy sauce prepared by the boss, I would definitely not be able to make it so delicious."
"Okay, don't force it if you don't know how to shoot on the back, and I don't like to listen to these useless things."
Jiang Yu interrupted him with some amusement and said to him,
"Although it is the sauce with the marinade, this dish is also made by yourself, it has nothing to do with me, you have to be confident, you will have to make many dishes yourself in the future, I can't stare at you for every dish."
When Du Guangning heard this, he suddenly felt a heavy responsibility, he nodded solemnly, and said:
"Well, don't worry, boss, I'll definitely do a good job."
"Okay, then let's move on to the next dish, this dish doesn't have a pre-prepared sauce, you need to pay attention to the amount of seasoning."
Jiang Yu turned his head and glanced at Du Guangning again, raised his finger and pointed to the two yams with skin on the operating table, and said to him,
"This cold dish, called fragrant yam tofu, should be steamed first, then stirred into a thick slurry, mixed with eggs steamed to make tofu, and then the finished yam tofu is oiled, fried until golden brown and then put into the old chicken, keel and mushroom boiled in the broth stewed, and then seasoned.
You start making it now, make a little more yam tofu and keep it for later, the taste of this dish will deteriorate after a long time, and we can make a new one when the guests are coming. ”
"Uh-oh."
Du Guangning responded and hurriedly began to act.
To be honest, he is really a little nervous now, the key step of the roast pepper mixed beef dish he made before is that the boss has controlled it in advance, and no matter how he cooks it, the taste is not much worse.
But now this fragrant yam tofu, it has to come from beginning to end every step by itself, whether it can be done well, whether the taste can enter the boss's mouth, this is really hard to say!
This is really a big Yali Mountain!
