Just after lunch, all the chefs went to find places to rest.
The other handymen and servants in the back kitchen also found their own free time, or slept on the stools, bragged and farted in groups, or squatted under the wall to bask in the sun and gamble.
The chef's apprentices put a lot of effort into it.
Yuanzi concentrated on carving his radishes, Er Gou practiced all kinds of knife skills in silence, only Xiao Wu was still pitifully doing the chores that could never be finished!
well! I really don't understand how Chef Zhang took care of his apprentices. Xiao Wu was so sad in his previous life, and now he is still the life of a handyman!
Wen Rou shook her head, feeling aggrieved for Xiao Wu.
"Rou'er, come with Dad." Wen Shouzheng drank a cup of tea after dinner, but he was extraordinarily energetic at the moment, and it seemed that he was going to teach Wen Rou how to cook.
"Shitou, go and have a rest, just leave it to Rou'er!" Rourou followed Wen Shouzheng into the small kitchen, seeing Fang Dashi busy cleaning the stove, Wen Shouzheng ordered.
"Master, then I'll go out first." Fang Dashi looked at Wen Shouzheng, then at Wenrou, knowing that Master was going to teach Wenrou's craft. Although he was Wen Shouzheng's disciple, he was not after all. My own, now that my daughter comes to learn how to cook, I should be more sensible!
"Father, why did you let brother Shitou go? How easy is it to teach together?" Rourou looked at Fang Dashi's leaving back, and really didn't understand.
"Boy, you've learned enough from me, don't dawdle, dad will teach you the most basic knife skills today!" Wen Shouzheng said, picked up a kitchen knife, and explained gently with gestures.
"Knife skills, as the name suggests, is the technique of cutting vegetables. We cooks use knives to process various ingredients into a certain shape according to the needs of cooking and eating, so that they become the basic shapes required for matching dishes." Wen Shouzheng As he said that, he took a potato by the way, "scrubbed" a few knives, and peeled the potato clean.
"For example, if this potato is not cut with a knife, it can only be steamed and boiled. After changing the knife, it is not only convenient to cook and eat, but also easy to color and taste when cooking, heats evenly, and matures quickly." The potatoes were cut into even quarters.
"The ingredients are treated with a knife and become rough, especially the smooth surface of the raw materials, which are easy to stick to paste and have strong adhesion. After heating, the moisture in the ingredients can be kept to the maximum, making the finished dishes fresh and delicious; the ingredients are processed by the knife. Finally, it can form a variety of different behaviors, rich in changes, can increase the variety of dishes, and make the dishes rich and colorful; in addition, after cutting the ingredients, it can form beautiful knife patterns and patterns of different shapes, increasing the flavor characteristics of the dishes; It is this leftovers, which can make up for the defects of its irregular shape after being processed by knife work, so that it can be used to the fullest and save raw materials! Therefore, it is difficult to leave the important process of knife work in cooking any dish." Wen Shouzheng said at the same time While demonstrating, the potato was sliced in half, shredded in half, diced in half, and carved in half.
Wen Shouzheng's whole movement was done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water, without stagnation.
Gentleness is seen in the eyes and remembered in the heart. In her previous life, she also watched her father chop vegetables, and she still feels so shocked now.
"This knife method can be mainly divided into twelve skills: cutting, slicing, peeling, chopping, chopping, splitting, picking, patting, gouging, spinning, scraping, and food carving. Cutting, peeling, and chopping are used in daily life. I'll teach you how to cut it." After Wen Shouzheng finished speaking, he took another potato, put one hand on the potato, and operated the knife with the other, raising his eyes to signal Rourou to take a closer look.
Wen Rou understood, approached and widened her eyes.
"Cutting seems simple, but it is actually very knowledgeable. Straight cutting: hold the ingredients firmly with your left hand, hold the knife in your right hand, and cut straight. The focus is on the blade, and the front and back forces are the same. After you are proficient, speed up quickly to form a "jump cut"." Wen Shouzheng demonstrated while talking, holding the potatoes firmly with his left hand, and moving back according to the thickness, length, and shape of the potatoes after each cut; holding the knife in his right hand, using wrist strength, following the movement of his left hand, followed by a straight cut go down.
"Rou'er, come on, try it!" Wen Shouzheng said, and handed the kitchen knife to Rourou.
Gentle took the kitchen knife, her hands were shaking.
Since rebirth, the knife that has been dreamed of so many times is now really held in the hand, and Wenrou dare not cut it lightly.
The last time I competed with Chef Gao, Rou Rou finally didn't dare to use the knife, but handed it over to Fang Dashi to cut.
Is the skill from the previous life still there? What if it hadn't come with regeneration
If the skill is still there, wouldn't dad be shocked...
Gentle and worrying, the knife held in both hands seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he dared not do it all the time.
"Rou'er, don't be afraid, there are no outsiders here, come and try it, cut slowly." Wen Shouzheng encouraged.
With blurred eyes, Wen Rou looked up at his father beside him, pursed his lips, and nodded heavily.
His hands were still shaking involuntarily.
Wen Rou simply closed her eyes, took a deep breath, calmed down for a moment, and raised the knife again.
The potato in his hand seemed to be warming up, although it was smooth, it was not slippery.
The first cut was made gently and steadily.
A complete disc, as thin as a sheet of paper, even and neat.
"Rou'er, great job!" Wen Shouzheng praised.
The gentle heart fell slowly, and the nervousness just now disappeared immediately with the first cut.
The potatoes, kitchen knives, and chopping boards under his hand seem to be old friends he was familiar with in the previous life. The temperature, shape, and size...all are so suitable.
"Swish Swish Swish Swish!" Gentle was full of confidence, the feeling from the previous life was still there!
Wen Rou raised the knife and dropped it, before Wen Shouzheng encouraged him again, a potato twirled in a circle in his hand, it was still a whole before, when he looked at it again, it was lying neatly in pieces.
Wen Shou straightened his eyes!
With his mouth open, he was speechless for a long time.
"Daddy, daddy!" Rourou put down the kitchen knife, patted the potato slices flat, and placed them on the plate. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Wen Shouzheng's straight hair.
"Rou'er, you... come here, and cut another one for dad!" Wen Shouzheng couldn't restrain the surprise in his heart, picked up a cucumber on the table, and handed it to Rourou.
"Father, should you still slice it?" Wen Rou asked with a smile as she tangles the hair around her ears.
"Chesi, can you do it?" Wen Shouzheng asked softly, and suddenly became interested, so he simply increased the difficulty.
"Let me try!" Gentle breathed a sigh of relief, carefully lifted the knife, and landed on the emerald green cucumber obliquely and finely.
This cucumber is fresh, crisp and straight, and the knife is gentle and fast. After being cut into slices, it is changed into thin shreds, without any juice flowing out.
Wen Shouzheng was so surprised that he shook his head again and again, turned around a few more times, and for a while cut up everything he could hold around him.
Not long after, there were green peppers, potato slices, lotus root strips, cucumber shreds, pumpkin shreds, thousands of shreds, chicken nuggets, fish fillets, etc. in front of Wenrou.
Wen Shouzheng looked at Wen Rou and laughed happily.
"Father, after cutting so many vegetables, look at potatoes, dried shreds, chicken nuggets, fish fillets, etc., what should we do?"
"Silly girl, it goes without saying, take them all home, these are leftovers, and it's a waste to throw them away!"
gentle:"… "
