Chapter 30 The Four Basics of the Kitchen
How much does this meat, this duck, cost? Can ordinary people eat it? A disgusting taste! Rotten meat! Stinky duck! I bah!" The old man with a loud voice spit out the soup and meat on the ground, and looked at the fat and thin two viciously, Aso touched his head and wondered: "Senior brother, why is this?"
"How much does this duck cost?" asked the old man.
Fat Liu stubbornly said: "This duck takes ten rare duck species from the north and south, and there are hundred-year-old ginseng. Thin Zhu also said that this meat is the essence of dozens of piglets, about this price, and the old man with a loud voice snorted angrily: "Ordinary people save money in a month, and it is only half a tael of silver, do you expect ordinary people to eat this dish for decades? Get out! Get out! I can't afford a cook who only cooks for the rich!"
The two of them retreated, not daring to have a trace of dissatisfaction with the loud old man, Zhou Qian quietly tugged Su Cha's sleeve: "Who is this old man? Why is his temper so weird?" and Su Cha, who was originally eloquent, simply closed his mouth and was silent.
Next, all the chefs showed their talents, jumping cooking, flying cutting, and cattle slaughtering skills...... And the food utensils used are ordinary things, but it is even more high in cooking skills, and in the end, only three people passed, Liu Cooking, the successor of Shu cuisine, Su Cha, the chef of Tianxiangju, Lao Guo, a master of small cooking, and Zhou Qian, who had excess luck, a total of four people.
"You are all famous chefs, and you must also know that the so-called four basics of the kitchen are the most basic kung fu of the cook," Zhang Fulang said: "Knife skills, eye color, side dishes, creativity, and the next second test is to test you with these four methods!"
"There are ordinary white-skinned radishes on this table, and you can slice them with my kitchen knife in Shizukalou, and then compare them by thickness and size!"
The four of them looked at each other, this kind of thing of cutting radish, not to mention a chef with poor skills, even if it is an ordinary person who cuts it slowly, it can be cut well, but as soon as he got the kitchen knife, several people were speechless, there are seven or eight gaps on the blade alone, and the thickness from the handle to the tip of the knife is different, this kind of kitchen knife can really cook?
Zhou Qian picked up the white-skinned radish and tried to cut it, a radish slice cut into diced radish, the kitchen knife was blunt and heavy, and there was a bang on the cutting board, Zhou Qian looked at the side, several chefs were awkwardly cutting at the white-skinned radish, Zhou Qian shook his head, but he thought of an idea-
"Alright, everyone!" Zhang Fu estimated the time and nodded.
Zhang Fu, Aso and the old man with a loud voice looked at the finished products of the four people, first looked at the first three, although the kitchen knife is difficult to use, but the three of them have a deep foundation after all, the size and thickness of the radish cut are roughly the same, the three of them nodded, and finally looked at Zhou Qian's knife skills.
"This radish is cut--" Zhang Fuxian shook his head, "How can it be so bad! ”
Aso also shook his head, only the old man with a loud voice remained, the old man first glanced at it casually, and then there was a 'huh' sound, "This radish slice-"
"What's wrong with Hei Bo?" Zhang Fu asked, Zhou Qian wondered how there was a black surname among the hundred family names.
"This radish slice is interesting!" The old man with a loud voice pinched a few radish slices and put them under the oil lamp, and the faint light penetrated through the radish slices in a wavy shape.
"How did you do it?" the old man with a loud voice was surprised, even if a chef like them could only cut it three or four times out of ten, he could cut it into this kind of sunhalo radish slices that had strict requirements for thickness and length, but how did Zhou Qian do it?
"I didn't cut along the radish pattern, I cut along the knife pattern. Zhou Qian explained.
"Oh, what do you mean by cutting along the knife pattern?" said the loud old man curiously.
"This knife has a gap, and the thickness changes, like the texture of the knife, so I cut it along the knife pattern, so I didn't cut the radish slice into a flat surface. Zhou Qian explained.
"The way to change, but well done, a little bit of an idea. The loud old man nodded.
"Let's test the way of side dishes......"
It's a pity that Zhou Gan is not satisfactory in terms of side dishes and eye color, with the words of the old man with a loud voice, it is also the level of a third-rate street stall, Zhou Qian really wants to say how do you know.
"The final test is creativity! This is your ingredient, pumpkin, you use it to make a dish, and in the end the taste determines the winner-"
What kind of dishes can pumpkin be made alone, Zhou Qian shook his head, very hesitant, looking around, the shredded ones that have already been shredded, and the soup that is made of soup are all carried out in the cooking method that he is good at, after all, the last round still has to be conservative, and as I said just now, the winner is determined by the taste.
"Then that's it!" Zhou Qian said to himself, anyway, he can't enter Jingxiang Building with his ability, so it's better to do it by feeling.
'Pap, pap, pap!' The sound attracted everyone's attention, after all, Zhou Gan's cooking skills were also majestic in the small northern place of Changzhou, and he couldn't be on the table at all, so everyone didn't pay much attention to him, but Zhou Gan's actions were much more than everyone expected-
"What the hell is this little red guy slapping pumpkins?" wondered a cook from out of town.
"He seems to be very particular about his approach. The other interjected.
It is indeed very particular, this technique has a nickname in the martial arts - 'dark energy into the body!' is a rather profound technique of force, this technique is extremely vicious, ordinary people will do it after three or two days, and then die violently, even the most experienced work can not be checked, Zhou Qian to the floating cloud small eight style as the foundation, these days to concentrate on cultivation, but groped into the doorway.
After the slapping was finished, Zhou Qian lit a fire again, and actually roasted the pumpkin on it, and occasionally turned the pumpkin over.
"The hour is up, and you can serve your dishes. ”
Stir-fried shredded pumpkin, pumpkin porridge, and pumpkin soup are dishes made by the other three, all of which are in the best way of the three of them, but they are quite appetizing, obviously the heat, knife work, and soup have reached a certain level, the old man nodded secretly, and when it was Zhou Qian's turn, only a black and charred pumpkin was left for the three of them, and the three of them frowned almost at the same time.
"Whose disciple are you? Why can't you come here to make trouble, aren't you afraid that I will go to the patrol yamen to come over?" Zhang Fu said in a mean tone.
"What's so special about this pumpkin?" the old man raised his brow, and his voice was like thunder.
"Since there was only one pumpkin, I wanted to make this pumpkin in the same way as a chicken, but because it was the first time, I didn't know how it tasted. Zhou Qian said honestly, for Zhou Qian, making these ingredients and tasting results can attract him the most, and other people's eyes are no longer in his thoughts, otherwise, the apprentice who is the best master in the world goes to apply for a cook, isn't it even more ridiculous.
Zhou Gan tore open the pumpkin, the golden pumpkin juice slipped into the bowl, and a rich aroma filled the entire canteen, because of Zhou Gan's unique and ingenious strength, the skin was out of the outside, and the meat and meat were mixed together, and even the seeds were powdered by this technique, so this pure pumpkin juice was rich like thick porridge.
"A few of you have a taste!" Zhou Qian said with anticipation.
The three of them looked at each other, and the old man snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's poisonous!" Raised the bowl and drank it all.
"Goo-doo-" Without waiting for the other two to respond, Zhou Qian couldn't wait to pick up the bowl, pour the hot pumpkin juice into his mouth, smack his lips, and another bowl came, the same is true of the old black man next to him, three or four bowls of grunt, the old man and Zhou Qian looked at each other and smiled-
"It was delicious. Zhou Qian smiled, wiped the corners of his mouth, and boasted very unceremoniously.
"But in terms of taste, it's very pure pumpkin juice, and it doesn't get any purer than that, it's good! It's good! It's very thoughtful!" the old man said with satisfaction.
"Really?" Aso said in disbelief, took a sip of the bowl, and decisively praised, "Not bad!"
"Hmph!" Zhang Fu disdainfully pushed away the bowl in front of him, and said lightly: "Even if this pumpkin juice tastes the same as the elixir and jade liquid, but his first two levels are too bad, I, Jingxianglou, will not suffer such a person who can only do some whimsical ideas and has no foundation!"
Aso shook his head secretly when he heard this, this little disciple of Master Yishan's favorite and most authentic is good at everything, but some skills are too conceited and too narrow, so the road will become narrower and narrower, not to mention Master Yishan's sea of rivers and rivers, and tolerance is great.
"It's true that your cooking skills can't enter the door of Shizuka Building, but my Shizuka Building not only lacks a cook, but also lacks a servant who serves dishes and washes dishes, are you willing to come?" said the old man suddenly.
