Dare to cook

Chapter 49 The Old Father's Smile

Listening to Yang Rui and Chen Li's inquiries.

Yao Yu smiled and said:

"Ninety percent sure. Try Chinese food with a Han Guo chef. If you can't win, then you don't need to participate in the famous contest."

Seeing that Yao Yu was so confident, Yang Rui knew that this guy had figured out Hong Shipu's background.

He curled his lips, no longer worried, and said:
"You just need to know it in your heart, otherwise if you lose to a foreign chef, you may be sprayed to death in Wanghai Tower."

Chen Li also said at this time:

"Brother Yu, what are you going to teach us today? Why don't you stop training today and seize the time to read more of the cooking recipes left by the master."

"It's not necessary. Hong Shipu is not Lu Chenyu, so there's no need to make a fuss if you compete with him."

Yao Yu shook his head, and said:
"There are many strong competitors in this competition, and you are the ones who need to improve your cooking skills quickly."

"Especially you, Chen Li, you have to learn a few more secret recipes as soon as possible, otherwise I'm worried that after this competition, you will fall off the Jade Food List."

"It won't be so exaggerated!" Chen Li was startled.

He is only 22 years old this year, and it would be too embarrassing if he was squeezed out of the Jade Food List because of his lack of strength.

"I'm not interested in scaring you."

"It's a pity that the time you studied cooking with my second uncle was too short. You haven't learned even one-tenth of his unique recipes."

"Time is limited today. I will teach you a secret recipe for red oil and steamed fish sauce first. When I have time in the future, I will teach you all the recipes of my second uncle."

Yao Yu said, motioning for the two to follow him into the backyard of the villa.

Yao's villa is a detached villa.

Even the front yard plus the backyard with swimming pool and garage, the area is more than [-] square meters.

This villa was bought by Yao Yunjian ten years ago.

At that time, the housing prices in Shanghai were not outrageous.

After Yao Yunjian died in a car accident last year, the owners of the villa changed their names to Yao Yu and Yao Chan.

In the backyard of the villa, next to the garage, there is a "cooking classroom" specially built by Yao Yunjian.

The kitchen equipment in the cooking classroom is quite complete, which is almost the same as the back kitchen of the hotel.

In the past, whenever Yao Yun briefly taught Yao Yu some secret recipes that could not be passed on to the outside world, the uncle and nephew would operate in this cooking classroom.

After Chen Li accepted Yao Yunjian as his teacher, he also attended classes here, so he is no stranger to the layout inside.

Yao Yu had already brought the ingredients purchased from the vegetable market into the cooking classroom.

Chen Li and Yang Rui also brought some things over.

The things Yang Rui brought were naturally the wild pigeons and wild crucian carp that Yao Yu asked him to buy yesterday.

What Chen Li brought was a specialty sent from his hometown - Yiyang rice cake.

Yiyang rice cake is a unique rice cake in Raocheng, Xijiang Province.

This kind of rice cake has a long history and has a smooth appearance like jade, smooth taste, tough and delicious, and easy to preserve.

There are many ways to make it, it can be sweet or salty, steamed or boiled, roasted or stir-fried. Since it is put into hot pot, it can also be used to cook porridge and stew soup.

However, this kind of rice cake also has a unique characteristic with other rice cakes.

That is, you can't eat too much, or it will be difficult to digest.

But Yao Yu really likes to eat this food.

Occasionally cut two rice cakes, add peppers, green vegetables, sliced ​​meat, and bean sprouts to stir-fry, which also has a special taste.

Chen Li would bring some to Yao Yu every one or two months.

He also didn't let Yao Yu buy online by himself.

Because most of the rice cakes sold online are fake.

Ordinary merchants are reluctant to use the best rice to make rice cakes.

And if it is rice cake made with ordinary rice, the taste is far worse than the authentic Yiyang rice cake.

The three of them entered the cooking classroom. Yao Yu waited for Yang Rui and Chen Li to put away the things, and then began to teach them how to make secret red oil.

The things provided by the system are quite awesome.

Whether it is the secret red oil or the secret steamed fish juice, as long as you use it, you can upgrade the dishes to a higher level.

If Yang Rui and Chen Li could learn these two things, it would definitely be of great benefit.

Yao Yu has no secrets about these two people.

He taught very carefully, from selecting the ratio of ingredients, to handling the ingredients, to controlling the oil temperature. He explained the details of every step clearly, and also urged the two of them to take notes.

Yang Rui and Chen Li also studied very seriously.

It is often at this time that they realize how big a gap exists between themselves and Yao Yu.

It took Yao Yu about half an hour to explain all the key points of the secret red oil.

Then he demonstrated it again, and asked Yang Rui and Chen Li to practice by themselves.

Chen Li and Yang Rui are also talented.However, when making the secret red oil, I failed several times due to my lack of experience.

It wasn't until almost noon that the two of them made a qualified secret red oil.

Seeing these two melon babies learn how to make red oil secretly, Yao Yu couldn't help showing a fatherly smile.

At noon, the three of them cooked a few Sichuan dishes and ate some.

After the meal is full, the teaching continues.

Compared with the secret red oil, the method of steaming the secret fish juice is simpler, and Yang Rui and Chen Li also learned it faster.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after the two had mastered the secret steamed fish sauce, Yao Yu steamed two herrings on purpose.

One of them uses ordinary steamed fish juice, and the other uses secret steamed fish juice.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, but be afraid of comparing goods.

After Yang Rui and Chen Li had tasted the two herrings respectively, they realized how powerful the secret recipe Yao Yu taught them was.

"Damn it, I feel like after learning this secret steamed fish sauce, I can directly challenge Chef Qilinbang!"

Yang Rui said with emotion after tasting two herrings with very different tastes.

Yao Yu was amused when he heard it:
"Then go back to your father at night to discuss steamed fish dishes. See if you will die miserably."

Yang Rui pouted:

"Don't mention him to me, I will be upset when I think of him."

Chen Li was amazed and said:

"Then how long are you going to fight with your father?"

"It's not that my buddies are talking about you. Your father is the chef of the Kirin List, and you are participating in the famous contest. If you don't follow the big Buddha at home to learn your skills, it's a waste of resources."

Yang Rui didn't like to hear this, so he rolled his eyes:

"Are you envious? Why don't you learn from my old man."

Chen Li said with an expression of "Your intentions are sinister":
"You persuaded me to change my family in front of my senior brother. Are you hoping that I will be cleared of my family as soon as possible?"

Seeing that these two guys tended to talk endlessly, Yao Yu interrupted:
"Don't be poor. You have also learned these two secret recipes, so help me deal with wild pigeons and crucian carp."

"I'll pick Yao Chan up for dinner in a while, and you two will stay too, so we can have a good meal together tonight!"

Yang Rui brought two wild pigeons and four wild big crucian carp today.

Yao Yu didn't have time to keep each of these things, so he simply took advantage of the time today to deal with them all, so that he could make a good meal for Yao Chan to replenish his body.

When Yang Rui and Chen Li heard this, they naturally had no objections.

One of the two is responsible for handling the pigeons, and the other is busy slaughtering the crucian carp.

When Yao Yu went to pick up Yao Chan, Yang Rui made a stewed wild pigeon with Codonopsis ginseng and Astragalus membranaceus with the ingredients that Yao's family had.

Chen Li hollowed out the stomachs of four large crucian carp, stuffed them with chopped mutton stuffing, and cracked four whole eggs into the casserole, making a crucian carp stewed meat pie for four people.
