Dare to cook

Chapter 69 Yao Manzi is in Trouble

Renhe Pavilion.

back kitchen.

Yao Yu's miserable howl was ignored.

Those chefs who were also very tired listened to his yelling and howling, instead of showing sympathy, they even smiled gloatingly.

Two in the afternoon.

After eating a late lunch, Yao Yu leaned back on the chair for a long time before regaining some strength.

No!

Can't go on like this anymore!

Tonight's mapo tofu, you have to let other people do it.

Otherwise, he must be exhausted and insane.

Now Yao Yu, whenever he closes his eyes, the scene of stir-frying Mapo tofu will appear in his mind.

If this continues, his nerves will collapse.

Yao Yu stroked his chin and thought for a while, then quickly decided to let Xu Yunle take over from him to make mapo tofu.

In fact, whether Yao Yu's mapo tofu can be delicious depends mainly on the taste of the secret red oil.

Now Yang Rui and Chen Li have already learned how to make secret red oil.

It would be no problem for them to replace Yao Yu in making mapo tofu.

But those two special chicken thieves knew that frying mapo tofu was a very hard work recently, so they couldn't be fooled at all.

Even if Yao Yu forces them to do it, they will deliberately make the taste worse, pretending to be "we want to help, but we really can't do it well".

Therefore, Yao Yu set his sights on Xu Yunle.

Xu Yunle is the pastry chef of Renhe Restaurant, and he is also good at cooking.

Compared with other chefs in the back kitchen, Xu Yunle has the best talent. Yao Yu taught him some new dishes several times, and he could learn them quickly.

In comparison, Jiang Yuan, Zhang Zhiyun, etc. who were specially invited by Tang Ying have less plasticity.

After choosing the coolie candidate, Yao Yu acted immediately.

He returned to the kitchen and kicked Xu Yunle, who was sitting outside the pastry room and shivering:
"Hey, do you want to learn a big dish?"

Xu Yunle looked up at Yao Yu and shook his head decisively: "I don't want to!"

joke.

What kind of dishes will Yao Yu teach at this time?

It must be mapo tofu.

Anyone who has recently learned Yao Yu's mapo tofu will have to take Yao Yu's position as a coolie.

Besides, he specializes in pastries, so what’s the use of learning Mapo Tofu?

When the freshness of the diners wears off, the sales of Mapo Tofu will definitely decrease. At that time, Renhe Restaurant will still be the main dish of Renhe Restaurant.

Yao Yu saw Xu Yunle's thoughts at a glance.

He kicked the guy, angrily:

"Can you be a little promising, kid? Do you plan to work as a pastry chef for a lifetime?"

Xu Yunle was startled, seeing no one else around, said: "Brother Yu, what do you mean...do I have the potential to be an executive chef?"

Yao Yu glanced at him with contempt:
"What executive chef didn't work as a waiter? You have a good foundation in understanding. As long as you are willing to learn, why not?"

Yao Yu said, paused and said:

"Xiao Xu, I won't be in Renhe Pavilion for too long."

"But after I leave, it doesn't mean that the positions of executive chef and head chef will definitely fall on Zhang Zhiyun and Jiang Yuan."

"As long as you have the strength, you can also compete."

Xu Yunle is such a person, although he is usually quite salty.But if there is an opportunity to make progress, he will not miss it.

Hearing what Yao Yu said, Xu Yunle knew that Yao Yu had the idea of ​​cultivating himself.

Renhe Restaurant can have such a good business now, mainly because of Yao Yu and his recipes.

Even if Yao Yu leaves in the future, most of the recipes he drew up will be retained.

The sooner people who learn Yao Yu's recipes, the better they will be treated in the Renhe Restaurant in the future.

Although Tang Ying has already decided on the candidate to succeed the head chef, if Yao Yu really wants to train Xu Yunle to compete, Xu Yunle may not have no chance of winning.

Xu Yunle smiled immediately and said:
"Brother Yu, everyone says you cook abalone in soy sauce and eight-treasure duck well. When do you think you can teach me how to cook those two dishes?"

"Hey, want to learn my signature dish?"

Yao Yu was delighted when he heard the words:

"That depends on whether you can learn today's mapo tofu. Otherwise, nothing will be discussed."

"Don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Xu Yunle said, patting his chest.

While talking, Yao Yu brought Xu Yunle to the stove, and began to demonstrate cooking while explaining to him the various points of making Mapo Tofu.

The recipe of Mapo Tofu is not complicated.

As long as the following steps are done before cooking, the taste will basically not be bad.

First, blanch the tofu with boiling light salt water before stir-frying.

In this way, the beany smell of tofu can be removed, making the taste of tofu smoother and more tender, and it is not easy to break.

Secondly, the minced meat for fried Mapo Tofu should be marinated with salt and cooking wine for 20 minutes.

Third, the Chinese prickly ash that is put into Mapo tofu must first be dry-fried in an iron pan to remove water, and then ground into powder for later use.

After completing these three preparations, the rest is to refine the red oil and grasp the heat.

Now the red oil used in Renhe Pavilion is the secret red oil refined by Chen Li and Yang Rui in advance.

Yao Yu is now teaching Xu Yunle how to cook this dish, all he needs to do is tell him the tricks and precautions of each step, and let him practice more.

Facts have proved that Xu Yunle's talent is indeed good.

After more than two hours of careful training by Yao Yu, Xu Yunle's cooking level of mapo tofu is no lower than that of a Sichuan chef.

Although, it is still incomparable with Yao Yu's level.

But relying on the addition of secret red oil, the mapo tofu made by Xu Yunle is also enough to satisfy ordinary diners.

Around five in the afternoon.

When Yao Yu confirmed that Xu Yunle could make mapo tofu for him, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mom, I finally got rid of this hard work.

……

The next day, in the morning.

Yao Yu and Yang Rui once again came to the competition center of the Famous Contest to participate in the competition.

After a whole day of competition yesterday, the top [-] players in Shencheng were all selected.

Yang Rui, Mu Shaoran, Mao Yuan, Xu Lin and others all successfully got tickets to the National League.

Today's event is the second round of individual duels.

Through this round of competition, the top 25 in the Shanghai Division will be selected.

The match of the players in this round of the finals is still determined by random selection by the computer.

When the big screen began to roll, most of the players were praying: "Don't run into Yao Manzi, don't run into Yao Manzi!"

I don’t know if there is really a god in the dark.

When the big screen stopped scrolling, those who didn't want to meet Yao Yu really didn't meet him.

Yao Yu's opponent this round is Misaka Mie from Reben.

After so many rounds of competition, the remaining contestants already know that Misaka Mie is also a master chef who is not easy to provoke.

When everyone saw Misaka Mie facing Shang Yu, they couldn't help showing a little excitement: "Yao Manzi VS Rebenniuer. This match must be interesting!"

Compared to the excitement of the melon chef, Yao Yu himself was very calm.

Soon, Yao Yu and Misaka Mie, who were scheduled to appear first, walked onto the duel ring carrying their respective kitchen utensil bags.

Then, the big screen in the arena scrolled again, and began to draw questions for this game.

After ten seconds,

When the big screen displays the competition questions,
All the melon-eating chefs present gasped:
"Pork chop rice, sukiyaki, and tempura! Among the three dishes, two are Japanese dishes!"

"Yao Manzi is in trouble! Can he cook Japanese food?"

"I'll go, Misaka Mie is going to win this match!"
