Dining room seven, in the kitchen.

Since there was an extra chef in the kitchen on the second floor, Du Guangning was officially promoted to a sous chef, and the newcomer Xiong Zhengtao took over Du Guangning's previous work and temporarily served as an assistant chef.

The sous chef, as the name suggests, is the first person under Jiang Yu, which means that Du Guangning is qualified to cook for the guests in the box.

Of course, Du Guangning has actually started to make all kinds of cold dishes independently long ago, and now he has just added some fast dishes that he is good at.

But even so, it also made Du Guangning burst out with surging passion.

You know, he's been in the No. 7 dining room for so long, and it's the first time that the dishes he has made have been allowed to be sent to the box!

What does this mean?

It shows that his cooking skills have been greatly improved, and it also shows that the food he makes has finally been recognized by Jiangyu!

How could this not excite him?

The more excited you are, the more willing you are to express yourself.

As a result, in the recent period, Du Guangning's enthusiasm for work has skyrocketed, and he is rushing to do everything, and he is full of enthusiasm from top to bottom.

And Xiong Zhengtao, who had just joined the kitchen of the No. 7 dining room, was so surprised when he learned that Du Guangning was just like him, at most he was a senior chef, but after following Jiang Yu for a period of time, he not only learned a wide variety of cold dishes, but also even the taste of the stir-fried dishes made by Jiang Yu was almost the same as Jiang Yu's, his eyes lit up with surprise.

This Du Guangning's present, isn't it his future?

He fully believes that with his own hard work and progress, as long as Jiang Yu is willing to teach him a little bit of skill, then he will definitely be able to make leaps and bounds in cooking!

Not to mention surpassing Jiang Yu, at least surpassing sous chef Du Guangning is no problem at all!

It is precisely because of this that Xiong Zhengtao did not complain at all about Jiang Yu's arrangement for him to be a chef, but did a good job.

Hope lies ahead, and that always inspires a person's enthusiasm.

With two capable "assistants" in the kitchen on the second floor, Jiang Yu finally broke free from tedious chores and could take a breath of relief.

The fast dishes and home-cooked dishes ordered by the diners who booked the box every day were all handed over to Du Guangning to be responsible, and as for those special dishes and kung fu dishes with complex and difficult processes, Jiang Yu naturally needed to handle them himself.

Although the No. 7 dining room is located in the middle of nowhere and the scale is not large, in the eyes of many diners, it can be called a food mecca in the Chinese catering industry.

I finally booked a private room, and I was able to come here to taste the food cooked by Jiang Yu, so how could I waste the opportunity to order a table of home-cooked food and fast food?

Since you are here, of course, you have to order some special dishes and kung fu dishes that are rarely eaten on weekdays.

Some of these specialties and kung fu dishes have gradually disappeared from restaurants and restaurants that pursue speed and profitability because of the complexity and difficulty of the process, and it is rare to encounter them once or twice, and it is difficult to taste the authentic taste because of the level of the chef.

And in the No. 7 dining room, with Jiang Yu coming forward, all this is not a problem.

As long as it is a dish that has appeared before, there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing that Jiang Yu can't make.

For example, at this moment, Jiang Yu is making a classic Lu cuisine kung fu dish - cloth bag chicken.

Cloth bag chicken is a local traditional dish in Ludong Province, also known as seafood assorted chicken, because the appearance of this dish is like a cloth bag and gets its name.

This dish is delicious, after the table, use a quick stroke, the filling is exposed, the meat is freshly filled, fat but not greasy, fragrant and tender, and has a unique flavor.

According to the local county records, the cloth bag chicken originated in the early Yuan Dynasty and served in Qianlong, and was one of the main dishes of the "Manchu and Han Dynasty Banquet".

Its main ingredient is free-range chicken, after slaughtering and dehairing, it is swallowed and cut into small bites, removing neck bones, wing bones, body bones, leg bones and internal organs, making it a "chicken cloth bag".

Subsequently, 16 kinds of ingredients such as sea cucumber, abalone, scallop, ham, bamboo shoots and other ingredients are loaded into the "chicken cloth bag" in proportion, and then the swallowed small mouth is sealed, fried in oil until golden brown, and finally steamed in the basket.

After steaming, it is mixed with green, red, yellow and other vegetables to form a picture and put it on a plate.

After the dish, the color of the "cloth bag chicken" is yellow and red, the whole chicken is complete, the eight treasures are hidden inside, like a live chicken lying on the plate, the shape is beautiful, the fragrance of the food is not greasy, and the flavor is unique.

The production process of this dish is not complicated, but when dealing with the "chicken cloth bag", it is a great test of the chef's patience and meticulousness.

Although Jiang Yu is making this kung fu dish for the first time, he has a superb knife foundation, and although it took a long time to make the "chicken cloth bag", he also succeeded in removing all the bones and internal organs of the stupid chicken.

After the preparation of the "chicken cloth bag", the next process is relatively simple, the sea cucumber, abalone, scallop, ham, bamboo shoots and other fillings that have been stir-fried and flavored in advance are stuffed into the belly of the chicken from the small mouth swallowed by the stupid chicken, and then fried in the pan until golden brown, and then steamed in the steamer.

After putting the "cloth bag chicken" into the steamer and steaming, Jiang Yu then made several dishes that tested his cooking skills, such as nine turns of large intestine, shrimp roe, black cucumber, and palace rice fragrant pork, and then stopped.

"Boss, are you going to go to the nutrition restaurant on the third floor of a canteen in the afternoon to help make a nutrition package?"

Du Guangning also made all the other dishes ordered by the diners in the four boxes at this time, except for these kung fu dishes made by Jiang Yu, the rest are fast dishes, and once they are really done, they are very fast.

Especially for Du Guangning, who has worked in the kitchen of a restaurant for several years, he can basically make a dish in a few minutes.

"Yes, I promised them yesterday."

Jiang Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, cleared his throat and said,

"The Provincial Games is about to be held, and these student athletes from our school still have to compete for gold and silver, so make something delicious for them, and I wish them good results in this Provincial Games."

"Oh, can you still come to the kitchen at night?"

Du Guangning didn't pay attention to the Provincial Games at all, what he was concerned about was whether Jiang Yu would be able to come back in time to make dinner if he went to the nutrition canteen on the third floor of the first canteen to help make nutritious meals.

If you don't have time to come back, won't the diners in the four private rooms at dinner have to be responsible for the hospitality by themselves?

What he was worried about was that if Jiang Yu wasn't here, he wouldn't be able to deal with it alone, but with Jiang Yu here, he would have the bottom in his heart.

No matter what kind of dish he dares to try it, even if he fails, isn't there Jiang Yu here to do it?

"Well, it should be a little later to be back."

Jiang Yu thought about it and said to him,

"In the afternoon, I will pre-make the kung fu dishes ordered by the customers in advance, and you will still come step by step, making cold dishes and stir-fried dishes, and when I come back, I will finish the pre-made kung fu dishes, and it will be almost the same."

After a pause, he turned his head to Xiong Zhengtao and said,

"When Xiao Du cooks cold dishes, you can learn more, watch more, use more snacks, and maybe you will be responsible for this cold dish in the future."

"Mmmm, don't worry, boss, I'm sure I'll study hard."

When Xiong Zhengtao heard this, he quickly nodded again and again, and his heart was even more excited.

He originally thought that even if Jiang Yu wanted to teach himself cooking, he should also inspect him for a period of time, and he would not teach him the skills that could be passed down so easily.

In fact, even if Jiang Yu did this, Xiong Zhengtao would not have any complaints, and he was very understandable.

After all, the chef who has just been recruited in, who knows if you will have a second heart, maybe you came in just to steal the master and learn the arts?

If you are taught, you turn around and leave, whether you go to open your own store or go to another restaurant, this is a blow to yourself.

Therefore, most of the old chefs find someone to come in, even if they plan to teach him cooking, then they will investigate for a period of time, and the inspection time is long or short, depending on what the old chef thinks.

During this inspection period, the old chef will guard against the newcomer like a thief, for fear that he will steal from the master to learn the art.

But Jiang Yu didn't seem to care about this at all, just a few days after he came in, he began to let himself learn to cook cold dishes with Du Guangning.

This made Xiong Zhengtao both surprised and happy.

It was precisely because of this that he himself secretly made up his mind that even if he learned cooking skills and really planned to leave here, he would have to stay in the No. 7 dining room for a while longer.

The reason why he did this was not for anything else, but simply to live up to Jiang Yu's trust in him.

Jiang Yu didn't know that Xiong Zhengtao would have so many thoughts in his heart, he just wanted to reasonably distribute the workload in the kitchen.

Otherwise, Du Guangning alone has to cook cold dishes and stir-fry vegetables, and it is still the amount of four tables of wine banquets, which may be better in a short time, but after a long time, he will not be able to bear it as an iron man.

But if Xiong Zhengtao comes to help share a little, and he cooks the cold dishes, Du Guangning only needs to cook stir-fried dishes, and the workload of the three chefs in the kitchen, including Jiang Yu, is about the same.

The most important thing is that even if there are a few more private rooms in the restaurant in the future, and there are three chefs each doing a stall here, it can still easily cope with it.

After sitting on the side and resting, Du Guangning fried a few more quick dishes, and then beckoned Pei Guofu, Yan Tongtong and others to have lunch together.

After lunch, Jiang Yu came to the box on the first floor as usual to rest for a while and played a few games of chess.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he returned to the kitchen on the second floor, pre-prepared the several kung fu dishes pre-ordered in advance in the four boxes, and put them in the fresh-keeping cabinet in a fresh-keeping bag.

After finishing these things, Jiang Yu said hello to Du Guangning, Xiong Zhengtao and others, and then went downstairs slowly.

Yesterday, I had already promised the sports academy to make a nutritious meal for the athletes of the school, and now it is almost ready to start.

……

Jiangzhou University, Indoor Gymnasium.

It's July, and the scorching sun has turned the whole city into an oven, and even the air you breathe into your lungs is scorching.

Not to mention exercising vigorously in the sun, even if you just hide in the shade of a tree, the sweat on your body is like no money, constantly flowing out, just a moment of work, inside and outside the clothes are all soaked.

But as the opening day of the Provincial Games is approaching, the two coaches Lin Yahui and Yin Tao are naturally unlikely to suspend the training of the players because of the weather.

However, in order to prevent injuries such as heat stroke due to the high-intensity training, the two coaches moved the team from the open-air stadium to the indoor gymnasium after discussion.

The indoor gymnasium of Jiangda is mainly divided into competition halls, training halls and functional facilities.

At this moment, in the open and brightly lit training ground, a group of student-athletes are concentrating on training various training grounds, some are strengthening strength training, some are doing endurance training, and some are constantly running short switchbacks along the track to strengthen their lower body explosiveness.

Liu Xiaohu took a few team members who practiced high jump to practice running on the high jump field next to the training ground.

Sprinting is the pursuit of speed, long-distance running emphasizes endurance, and back-jumping high jump requires rhythm running, the center of gravity is raised, and the stored acceleration kinetic energy is combined with the bounce of the muscles, so that the athlete can jump higher.

Therefore, a high jumper's poor running mastery plays a crucial role in his results.

Although Liu Xiaohu's high jump results are very good, his running is not in place, purely because he has a high talent for high jump, so he can jump over a height of 2.2 meters.

According to Lin Yahui, if Liu Xiaohu can fully master the running movements that suit him, his current score will definitely be more than 2.2 meters.

It is precisely because of this that some time ago, Lin Yahui specially designed a set of running actions for Liu Xiaohu according to his specific personal situation, which includes the rhythm of running, the control of running points, and the combination of running and jumping.

As long as Liu Xiaohu can practice running, then before the official opening of the Provincial Games, his high jump performance is likely to be greatly improved!

As for whether he can jump 2.27 meters, the standard of an international athlete in the men's high jump, it is difficult to say for the time being, but winning the championship medal of the Provincial Games is much more likely.

After completing several sets of running training, Liu Xiaohu sweated profusely and panted to the side to rest for a while, and then continued the next group of training when he had recovered his strength.

When a sports student who practiced sprinting saw him coming, he handed him a bottle of water and joked with a smile:

"Lao Liu, I saw that you have trained so hard during this time, are you planning to rush for the gold medal in the high jump of the Provincial Games?"

"Who knows?"

Liu Xiaohu took the mineral water and unscrewed it, "Gu Dong Gu Dong" drank most of the bottle at once, and poured the rest of the water from the top of his head, then he breathed a sigh of relief, threw the empty bottle into the trash can on the side, shook his head and said,

"It's useless to jump high in normal times, it depends on the on-the-spot performance on the field, if you don't play well during the game, it's just a formality."

"Don't be so modest, if you win a gold medal, you will get a gold medal, and our brothers won't be jealous of you!"

The sports student raised his hand and patted Liu Xiaohu's shoulder, and said with a smile,

"If you win the gold medal, you can eat the celebration banquet in the No. 7 dining room, don't forget to pack a little for my brother to taste when the time comes, I have never tasted the food in the No. 7 dining room!"
