Chapter 187: Such a short time to learn cooking, such a poisonous mouth
Three days later, the dessert stall was officially closed. At nine o'clock that morning, Yun Yongyuan arrived at the store an hour early according to the location sent by Zhao Xiaojing.
Zhao Xiaojing gave him a new chef's uniform to change into, took him around to familiarize him with the environment, explained the general job content and the current business situation of the restaurant, and then took him to the kitchen.
"The pig's feet are braised a day in advance and need to be soaked overnight to make them tasty. The other side dishes are braised that morning, and the chicken and beef are also stewed by me in advance. At noon, we cook. When you come, I have to start preparing the dishes. Customers start to arrive at around 33 o'clock. There is also a regular customer at :. There are meals a day, which have to be prepared in advance and they have people to pick them up.
You just looked at the menu. What can you cook? Also, what dishes are not on the menu but you are good at? We can add them to expand our variety.
Before, I was the only one cooking, and I was afraid that I would not be able to take care of everything, so I only cooked eleven dishes. "Zhao Xiaojing explained.
Yun Yongyuan thought about it and said hesitantly, "Kung Pao Chicken and stir-fried pork shreds are better, but I have made the others, but they are just average.
Junior sister, how about I watch you do it first, learn from you and then go to cook?
I have never cooked for guests. I was just an assistant, doing some steaming and frying, which only required me to keep an eye on the time and adjust the machine. I have only cooked for the master and a few apprentices, and I am afraid I will mess it up for you..."
Zhao Xiaojing burst out laughing. "Of course I have to learn. Do you think I'm going to ask you to cook and serve the dishes to the customers? I don't even know what your dishes taste like!
I told you to tell me what you are good at. Just do two and let me see. We will adjust according to the situation. Don't worry." Zhao Xiaojing patted Yun Yongyuan's shoulder with a smile. Su Yuchen, who was busy, glanced at him and smiled secretly.
Yun Yongyuan scratched his head, and the muscles on his face relaxed a little, forcing out a smile. "That's good, that's good.
As for the dishes I am good at, the chef has praised my twice-cooked pork and braised short ribs, saying that they are just barely good enough. As for stir-fried seasonal vegetables, I have stir-fried all kinds of vegetables, which is the most practiced, and the chef also said that they are edible. "
"Is it really that hard to praise what you made? Is it edible? Are you sure I'm praising you?" Su Yuchen slightly pressed down the corners of his mouth, stared at Yun Yongyuan with wide eyes, and looked at Zhao Xiaojing, and they both laughed at the same time.
Yun Yongyuan nodded and blushed. “When the master talked about other people, he always said, ‘Dogs won’t eat anything you make,’ ‘Next time you make it like this, just feed it to the dogs,’ ‘Even pigs can’t finish this,’ and so on.”
"Hahaha, if you compare it this way, this is indeed a compliment to you!" Su Yuchen laughed even harder.
"Okay, okay, let's cook first. Let's just make some barely acceptable twice-cooked pork and see how it goes." Zhao Xiaojing said, trying to hold back her laughter.
Yun Yongyuan nodded, washed his hands, picked up the pork belly and cut it into small square pieces. He blanched the whole piece, added green onion and ginger, and put it in a cold pot to cook.
While cooking, cut the side dishes quickly.
Since it was just a food tasting, Yun Yongyuan didn't cut a large amount of vegetables and used only a small piece of meat. After a while, the meat in the pot was cooked enough that chopsticks could be easily inserted.
Yun Yongyuan took out the pork belly and cut it into pieces as thick as a one-yuan coin with a knife, then heated up the oil in a pan.
Zhao Xiaojing stood aside and watched silently, without saying a word the whole time, nodding secretly as she watched.
After all, she has studied cooking for nearly five years. She is skilled and neat, and it can be seen that she has a solid basic skill.
Even though I’ve only been learning how to cook for a short time, I can tell that my control over the heat is not very good and the seasoning is also a little off.
However, if it weren't for the existence of the virtual space bug, in which I could use the speed of time to narrow the gap between myself and real culinary learners by dozens or hundreds of times every day, and if I didn't take systematic and professional cooking courses and study hard, I would be far behind him.
"Junior sister, try it. Tell me if you find anything wrong! Master told me to listen to your guidance more. He said that if I can be like you one day, he would wake up laughing in his dreams." Yun Yongyuan tensed his cheek muscles, placed a small plate of twice-cooked pork on the chopping board, and handed Zhao Xiaojing a pair of chopsticks.
"Let me try it too!" Su Yuchen took a look and ran over curiously to join in the fun. He refused the chopsticks handed to him by Yun Yongyuan, and after Zhao Xiaojing ate a piece, he picked up a piece with Zhao Xiaojing's chopsticks and tasted it.
"It's okay. The taste is a little worse than the one made in the mirror, but it's also very good!" Su Yuchen tilted his head, chewed a few times, and nodded.
"The heat was not high enough, the fat didn't have a nice caramelized aroma, and the pork belly was fried for too long, so the meat was a bit hard. Also, the sauce wasn't fragrant enough, and there wasn't enough bean paste. It's probably because you didn't stir-fry enough, so you were more cautious when adding seasonings."
Zhao Xiaojing took another bite, carefully felt the taste on her taste buds and gave her evaluation.
"Junior sister, you are amazing! How come you said the same thing as the master! He also said that my heat was not good. Either the fire was too high and the meat shrank too much, or the fire was too low and the meat was hard because it was fried for too long!
Junior sister, you are amazing. You have only learned cooking for a short time, but your tongue is so poisonous! "Yun Yongyuan said, staring at Zhao Xiaojing with shining eyes.
Su Yuchen clenched his fists, put his hands on his mouth and grinned, then returned to his workbench.
"Prepare the dishes first. You can cook them when you are not busy at noon, and I will talk to you on the side." Zhao Xiaojing didn't know how to respond to these words which sounded like both a scolding and a compliment to her. She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and changed the subject.
The serious funny man must be Yun Yongyuan.
With the addition of Yun Yongyuan, a graduate of culinary studies, the three of them were able to prepare food much faster. Zhao Xiaojing continued to chop the vegetables while secretly using the shortcut module to process small amounts multiple times.
Yun Yongyuan looked up several times, and was surprised every time he saw the basin in front of Zhao Xiaojing. Then he lowered his head and worked hard. The knives of both of them were so fast that they left afterimages.
By the time Ouyang Yidan arrived at work, the three of them had already washed, cut and arranged half of the prepared vegetables neatly.
Ouyang Yidan boiled some hot water, steamed the rice, arranged and cleaned up the tables and chairs in the front hall, and then joined Su Yuchen's team in peeling onions and garlic.
Zhao Xiaojing took a moment to look up and immediately breathed easier, a long-lost sense of real happiness welling up in her heart.
With best friends around, they achieve each other's success and support each other's careers; their shop is on the right track, with more and more partners running side by side, everyone is full of energy and warmth; the shop's business is getting better day by day, and her cooking skills are also getting better day by day.
Her life finally broke out of the stagnant state and began to burst with endless vitality!
