Chapter 331: Examining the Apprentice and Teaching the Wife (First Shift)
This noon, after many years, I ate Shi Jinbin's fried noodles again, which really made several old neighbors very happy.
At the end of lunchtime, several old neighbors stayed in the shop, chatting with Su Jinrong and Shi Jinbin, the two brothers, who had been mentioned by everyone one by one, as if they had returned to their young days.
In the back kitchen, Feng Yifan was assessing the mastery of some basic skills of the little apprentice during this time.
First of all, it is natural to take a knife test, because during this time, Lin Ruifeng has to practice knife work almost every day.
So in terms of knife work, Lin Ruifeng also has a little bit of self-confidence, and wants to show it in front of the master.
First of all, the slices, washed and peeled potatoes, were pressed on the board by Lin Ruifeng.
Feng Yifan said first: "Let's erect the blade first, remember, each piece should be even." ”
Lin Ruifeng nodded, then pressed the potatoes on the board and began to slice them very calmly.
Every knife must be smooth, and it must be cut to the end, there can be no stagnation in the middle, after starting to adapt, Lin Ruifeng is also gradually accelerating according to the requirements.
A knife, a knife, a knife.
With the gradual acceleration, Lin Ruifeng was still able to keep the knife in his hand steady, and every knife did not stagnate and fall.
Zhao Daxia, who had already washed the dishes, chopsticks, plates, and dishes, heard the movement inside, so she couldn't help but look in, and secretly observed Feng Yifan's assessment of Lin Ruifeng's apprentice.
Seeing that Lin Ruifeng was able to cut a potato very smoothly, Zhao Daxia also secretly felt that Lin Ruifeng really learned well.
But Feng Yifan waited for Lin Ruifeng to finish cutting the potato slices, and picked out a few slices from them very casually.
"You see?"
Lin Ruifeng saw that these pieces were skewed, and it was obvious that the thickness had been cut unevenly.
"Well, Master, I know, these slices can't be cut. ”
Zhao Daxia saw it, and immediately felt that Feng Yifan, the master, was really very strict. In her opinion, it was just a few pieces, and it didn't have to be that harsh, and the diners couldn't see anything anyway.
Feng Yifan said with a serious face: "Do you know that you will have this situation?"
Lin Ruifeng also raised his head to look at the master, he really didn't understand, why did this happen?
Feng Yifan immediately explained: "The reason why this is actually the case is very simple, because you didn't keep a uniform speed to slice at the beginning.
I know you're worried about not feeling it at first, so slow down and cut it piece by piece, but as you gradually pick up, it's bound to happen as soon as the rhythm is disrupted. ”
Lin Ruifeng listened to Master's words and immediately understood what Master meant.
The fundamental reason is that Lin Ruifeng was afraid that something would go wrong, so he began to be very cautious and cautious.
Originally, I wanted to gradually increase the speed, but in the process of acceleration, because the rhythm changed, the force and angle of the falling knife inevitably deviated, resulting in uneven thickness.
Feng Yifan reached out and took the apprentice's knife, and also pinched a potato casually, and slice it on the board very quickly.
Zhao Daxia saw Feng Yifan make a move, and immediately saw the gap between the little apprentice and the master.
Feng Yifan did not hesitate at all with every drop of the knife, the key is that he doesn't seem to be a fast slice, but in fact, he is obviously faster than the little apprentice in terms of speed, and he always maintains a uniform rhythm.
When Feng Yifan finished cutting a potato and said that the potato slices were put into the basin.
Zhao Daxia took a closer look, and suddenly couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God, this is actually cut by hand, and if you don't know it, when you see this potato chip, you will definitely think that it was shaved out with that kind of chipping knife." ”
Lin Ruifeng listened to Zhao Daxia's words, and helped the master beside him: "A top chef must be able to do this. ”
Feng Yifan waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't compliment me here, hurry up and cut the next item." ”
After saying that, Feng Yifan pointed to three small bowls, which were prepared pork, chicken, and bamboo shoots.
"Sanding bun, I also taught you, now it's to cut three dices, diced pork, diced chicken, diced bamboo shoots, the time is five minutes. ”
When Zhao Daxia heard the time, she was a little surprised: "What? These will take five minutes to cut?"
Seeing Feng Yifan nodded, Zhao Daxia said a little incredulously: "Chef Feng, you are not mistaken, right? These need to be cut in five minutes? Isn't it too exaggerated?"
Feng Yifan said with a serious face: "What's the exaggeration of this? If you get up in the morning and sell three buns for breakfast, if you can't cut these dices quickly, it will delay your business, and the kitchen at the banquet is so busy, how can you have so much time?"
Hearing Feng Yifan say this, Zhao Daxia not only sighed: "You chefs are really hard." ”
These words made Feng Yifan happy: "Is there anything that is not hard? Since you have chosen this path, then these hardships must be endured, if you can't do it, then you can choose to leave." ”
After talking to Zhao Daxia about this, Feng Yifan glanced at the kitchen and said to Zhong, "Okay, let's get ready to start." ”
Lin Ruifeng naturally didn't dare to hesitate, first picked up the pork, and then started to use the knife when the master started to time.
When the pork is cut, it will be a little slippery, and the meat is not as smooth as cutting potatoes, and there will often be some fascial obstructions when cutting meat, resulting in the knife not being able to go to the end.
At this time, you also need to use some wrist strength, and at the same time, you must gently use the blade to quickly smash it horizontally.
In this way, it can be smoother, without affecting the speed and efficiency of cutting.
Soon, the diced meat was already cut.
Next, diced chicken and bamboo shoots are a little simpler.
Because chicken and bamboo shoots are not as big a hindrance as pork when cut.
However, because the task assigned by Feng Yifan is to make three bags, it contains a hidden homework.
The three buns must be diced with slightly larger meat and chicken, and the chicken diced with slightly larger bamboo shoots.
Therefore, Lin Ruifeng not only has to be fast, but also to ensure that the size of the diced chicken and bamboo shoots meets the requirements.
The time was there, and Lin Ruifeng didn't dare to delay in the slightest, cut the diced meat and threw it into the bowl, and immediately grabbed the chicken and started to cut it.
Again, quickly cut the chicken into long strips, then change the knife and cut it all into small cubes.
Put the diced chicken into a small bowl, then take out the bamboo shoots and continue to cut them.
At this time, Zhao Daxia was already very nervous, and from time to time she would raise her head to look at the clock on the wall, clenching her fists with both hands, and constantly cheering for Lin Ruifeng in her heart.
Finally, the bamboo shoots were completely cut, and after putting them in a small bowl of bamboo shoots, Lin Ruifeng also quickly looked up at the master.
Feng Yifan said a little helplessly: "Only giving you five minutes may indeed be embarrassing for you." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Daxia was suddenly a little disappointed, she felt that Lin Ruifeng had really worked hard, but did she not finish it within the specified time?
Lin Ruifeng's natural color also lowered his head, and his expression was still a little lost.
Seeing this, Feng Yifan asked, "What's the matter? Is this going to give up?"
Lin Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "No, Master, I won't give up, I will continue to work hard, not this time, I must do it next time." ”
Feng Yifan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it's good not to be discouraged, what about you this time, it's barely done." ”
Hearing Feng Yifan say that it was barely finished, Lin Ruifeng and Zhao Daxia were stunned.
After a long stunned moment, Zhao Daxia exclaimed: "Oh, it's really good, Xiaolin, you, you succeeded, you really succeeded, you did it." ”
Lin Ruifeng finally came back to his senses under Zhao Daxia's exclamation, and still looked at his master a little incredulously.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "You did finish it on time, and you did it to the point where the diced meat is slightly larger than the diced chicken, and the diced chicken is slightly larger than the bamboo shoots."
Although it is indeed a bit big, it can be done in just five minutes, which is already considered a passing grade. ”
Lin Ruifeng was very excited: "Thank you, Master, I will continue to work hard." ”
Feng Yifan nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, you can go to rest and rest, don't always be so tense all the time, you still have to combine work and rest, you can pass these two assessments today." ”
Lin Ruifeng thought for a while and said, "Master, my slices are not very good, I want to continue to stay in the back kitchen to practice." ”
Feng Yifan immediately said: "I told you, the combination of work and rest, even if you want to practice, you can't practice all the time, you have to know how to rest, go, with Sister Zhao, go and sit in front for a while, and wait for me and your wife to finish making snacks before coming in." ”
Hearing what the master said, Lin Ruifeng immediately raised his head and looked at the back kitchen door, only to see that his wife had already come in and waited.
At this time, Lin Ruifeng still reacted, knowing that the next time was the time for Master and Mother to make snacks, so he did not hesitate, and immediately agreed to go out with Zhao Daxia.
After the apprentice went out with Zhao Daxia, Feng Yifan smiled and said to his wife, "You came in, why don't you come in?"
Su Ruoxi came to her husband's side and replied with a smile: "I don't want to delay your disciple." ”
Feng Yifan stretched out his hand and pulled his wife to his side: "Okay, then now we will start the dessert class." ”
Su Ruoxi was pulled into her husband's arms, smiled and said, "I found that it is a loss to learn desserts from you, you are all making them for your daughter, and you didn't say that they were specially made for me to eat." ”
Feng Yifan heard this and immediately shouted that he was wronged: "Wronged, every time you make it, don't you eat it before your daughter?"
Su Ruoxi pursed her lips and said, "I did it, of course I want to help my daughter taste it." ”
Feng Yifan couldn't laugh a little when he heard this: "Then didn't you taste it first? It's earlier than my daughter every time, so you see, I still love my wife very much." ”
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "If you just talk about it, then you didn't say that you would make me a dessert to eat." ”
Feng Yifan thought for a while: "Well, it seems to be true, otherwise, when my daughter celebrates her birthday, I will make a separate one for you and your daughter, is this okay?"
Hearing her husband say this, Su Ruoxi felt that this was acceptable.
"That's pretty much it, then you must make something different for me and my daughter, and it must be very delicious. ”
Feng Yifan agreed seriously: "Okay, definitely, I will definitely make very delicious desserts for you and your daughter when the time comes." ”
Next, Su Ruoxi asked, "Then what are we going to do for our daughter today?"
Feng Yifan smiled and went to the refrigerator to take out some of the ingredients to be used today, and after taking them out the same, he said, "Today, we made a very beautiful fruit pie for our daughter." ”
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised: "Fruit pie, is it the kind from Uncle Clown's family?"
Feng Yifan shook his head and said: "It's not the kind of thing, the kind we make is like pizza, the kind that is relatively large, you can spread more fruits, and then it tastes very cool." ”
Su Ruoxi was immediately aroused: "Okay, then let's do it quickly." ”
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Okay, then let's start." ”
Under Feng Yifan's teaching, Su Ruoxi took the initiative this time, first pouring low-gluten flour into a basin, then adding an appropriate proportion of butter, and mixing the butter and flour evenly with her hands.
After the mixture is evenly combined, add some cold water to mix the flour in the basin into a dough.
This step is done by Su Ruoxi throughout the whole process, she is also very hardworking, and now the dough is also very interesting for her.
After reconciling the dough, Feng Yifan wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate for a while.
During the refrigeration time, Feng Yifan and his wife began to slice the fruit.
As for the matter of slicing, Su Ruoxi decided to let her husband do it.
After all, slicing is a job, and my own cutting is definitely not as good as my husband's cutting, and I can't make it so evenly thick.
Feng Yifan cut apples, strawberries, pineapples, and bananas into thin slices.
Among them, apple and pineapple slices are boiled with sugar.
Su Ruoxi was a little strange: "Why do you want to cook apples and pineapples? Do you think they are not sweet enough?"
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "No, cook it to make apples and pineapples taste softer." ”
Because it was made for his daughter, Feng Yifan added some honey to cook it, and cooked the apple slices and pineapple slices very soft.
After that, the refrigerated dough is taken out, and the next step is to roll out the dough into a thin dough.
"It doesn't need to be very neat, because we need to put it in the mold, but it has to be rolled out a little bit thinner. ”
As a result, Su Ruoxi said: "You don't have to tell me this, didn't you do this skin-rolling thing? ”
Seeing his wife say, he even pinched and cooked apple slices and pineapple slices and ate them.
Feng Yifan was really a little crying and laughing: "You eat less, eat it all, how can we make fruit pie later?"
Su Ruoxi was reminded by her husband, and suddenly woke up: "Ah, yes, yes, you can't eat it, then you hurry up, grinding, you hurry up and roll out the skin, won't I eat it?"
Faced with his wife's words, Feng Yifan had no choice but to say: "Okay, it's me who is wrong, I'll get it done right away." ”
After Feng Yifan rolled out the skin and helped his wife put it into the grinding tool, Su Ruoxi happily began to arrange the fruit.
After placing the fruits, Feng Yifan used the leftover dough leftovers when he put in the grinding tool to decorate the whole pie.
Finally, brush with a layer of egg yolk liquid and put it in the oven to start baking.
After putting it in the oven, Su Ruoxi clapped her hands and said, "Well, this is also very simple." ”
Feng Yifan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: Of course it's simple, I have done all the hard work and complicated things.
After Feng Yifan smiled bitterly in his heart, he saw his wife at the cooking table, muttering that he was summarizing his own skills, and immediately understood that his wife was still studying very seriously.
