Siheyuan: Fatty’s Counterattack

Fatty and Liu Lan laughed like a bunch of idiots; the old man was teaching skills, and of course there couldn't be so many people watching in the kitchen, so Fatty only kept Liu Lan.

When talking about this practice, Mr. Lu hung up his book bag: "It is recorded in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" that the five flavors and three materials, nine boils and nine changes, the time of fire, the time of illness, the time of illness, the smell and smell must be eliminated, and the smell must be eliminated. The victory is justified. What is the most important thing about this grilled dish? It must be the heat. It must be simmered for a long time, so that it can be thoroughly immersed in flavor. In the end, it must be thickened with high heat. The chef must be sure of the heat. The requirements are very high and cannot be interrupted, and must be completed in one go.”

"..."

In fact, with the fat man's craftsmanship, there is no need to say so much or in such detail. After all, it is the first time and the old man has to find his condition.

He didn't worry too much about the other steps. The main thing was to turn the spoon and see if the fat man could do it well.

Big turning spoon is not a problem for fat people.

This action is a chef's skill that combines courage, strength, flexibility, and carefulness. It is a skill of coordinating the ingredients with the pot and spoon.

It is mostly used for grilling vegetables, like now.

When the fat man saw that the pig's trotters in the pot were cooked, he removed the pot from the fire, then used the hot air to lift the spoon, and first shook it evenly from side to side, until all the ingredients "walked" along with the inertia;

Then he suddenly lifted the pot, and there was an obvious movement in his hand to throw it upward and then quickly to the left.

The old man was very satisfied: "The big turning spoon can be divided into four movements: front, back, left, and right. You have mastered the principle, which is good. To put it bluntly, no matter how you turn it, it makes the ingredients rise while using the pot to hook them." When pulling back, the main movements are pushing, pulling, sending, and raising."

As for the final dragging technique to pour the cooked pig's trotters onto the plate, it is even less difficult for the fat man.

As soon as he saw his movements, Mr. Lu said: "This is the technique of Huaiyang cuisine. It is very good and perfect."

Liu Lan saw the opportunity and said a few words of kindness to the fat man: "Old man, when he was in the factory, he showed his skills for the first time in front of the spiritual guides, and what he did was to simmer fish heads."

The old man nodded: "Braising fish heads? That's no wonder. How old were you at that time, Fatty?"

The fat man answered honestly: "19 years old, you are young and frivolous."

The old man laughed happily: "Okay, I have such solid basic skills at the age of 19, I really have a great disciple."

The fat man wiped away the non-existent cold sweat with a guilty conscience. He was really afraid that the old man would ask again: "I want to meet your mentor."

That would be a fool's errand, how could he? I don’t know if he would be beaten if an old man with a white beard taught him this while he was dreaming?

※※※※※※※

After 19 years of development, Stardew Valley has barely achieved the four modernizations and can provide an endless supply of various supplies to Fatty.

With the reform and opening up, various channels have become more numerous.

Take the "double-skinned saury" served at Chen Yan's birthday party as an example. Do you think that saury really came by plane from Jiangnan?

How much does that cost! The swordfish was produced in the fish pond in Stardew Valley, and it was served on the table with dignity.

At the same time, the fish pond also stocks mandarin fish, anchovy, sturgeon, yellow croaker, carp, eel, sea cucumber and so on.

But 2 years ago, Fatty would have dared to take it out?

Some people argue that fat people only know how to speculate and can't make up anything else. Isn't it enough to know this?

In 1979, the criminal law officially stipulated the crime of speculation. In other words, before, there was no clear concept at all. The meaning is more general, the content is uncertain, the boundaries are fuzzy, and the scale is unpredictable.

The third uncle's fishing for money can be regarded as speculation; Yang Weimin and others are also speculative in selling in-demand goods...

It was not until the next year, that is, 1985, that speculation was explicitly listed.

It was not until 1997 that the crime of speculation became the crime of illegal business.

So there are many people who don't even have the most basic common sense. When they hear a few words from people in an alley and hear a new term, they quickly write it down and dare to use it as an imperial edict later.

It is precisely because the environment is becoming increasingly relaxed and the conditions are gradually becoming more mature that many things that I did not dare to do or take out before are now being slowly started to be done.

Stardew Valley was also tailor-made for opening a hotel according to Fatty's original idea. Step by step, it gradually developed from a dilapidated wooden house and a wasteland full of weeds and rocks to what it is today.

What Stardew Valley can now provide includes: a variety of high-end ingredients, excluding items expressly prohibited by the country. The main thing is that Fatty is not as good as the bear in the forest...

Various highly processed seasonings, such as monosodium glutamate substitutes, matsutake extract, etc.

Kitchen utensils, mainly knives, and all the knives used by Fatty are exclusively customized. Later, for high-end private kitchens, the set of customized knives used by the chef ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

There is also wine and drinks. The wine is made from fruits grown in a greenhouse from a few ancient seeds that Fatty obtained by chance. It is a distilled liquor with a very special taste. Now Xu Damao doesn't drink any other liquor, he only likes to drink Fatty's liquor.

There are even more varieties of drinks. The juice provided by Stardew Valley was prepared by Fatty using the milk tea method of later generations, such as the strawberry milk-topped drink, which is now a "hot hit";

From young girls like Chen Mengqi and others to social young women like Xiao Dang, there is no one who doesn't like to drink!

They spread the word by word of mouth and rushed to check in at Fatty's place. Many people came here for the first time not even for the food, but for his endless supply of milk tea.

Fatty’s products are quite cheap, like strawberry milk caps, a large cup of 680ML only costs 2 cents. They are a conscientious merchant, and a bottle of Coke costs 4 cents!

The key is that the concept is very advanced. If you order the dishes recommended by the chef, you can enjoy unlimited refills; many women come to Qili Pavilion to eat, but they are not full, but full of water...

At this time, the price of goods is not just what you want to sell, but it has to be submitted to the industrial and commercial department for approval, and it will be approved only after you feel it is reasonable.

The most classic one is Teacher Zhao Lirong’s Queen Mother Restaurant, which serves palace jade liquor, one hundred and eighty glasses!

Among the meals at Qili Pavilion, the most expensive dish now is sea cucumber roasted with green onions, which costs 5 yuan and 2 cents; followed by prawns, which cost 4 yuan and 8 cents; and the next most expensive dish is beggar's chicken, which costs 3 yuan and 3 cents...

The most incredible thing is the vegetarian dishes. Vegetarian dishes are scarce at this time, such as mushrooms and bamboo shoots, both of which cost about 2 yuan!

Good guy, a piece of soft fried pork slices is only 9 cents; a piece of musu pork is only 9 cents!

Now you know how profitable this drink is, right?

That’s all for the part about Stardew Valley for the time being. It’s a matter of opinion for others and arsenic for Fatty.
