The Rebirth of Shazhu: Starting from Staying Away from Beasts

Chapter 12 Teaching Ma Hua to Cook a Big Pot

He Yuzhu pretended to be angry and said, "Hey! What are you talking about, you little bastard? Don't you think that the master's skills are not enough to teach you?

All you need to do is to sit back and learn. When you can cook big pot dishes well, the chef will teach you the cooking skills for small stoves.

But remember not to rush for quick success, but to be down-to-earth and take it step by step." He Yuzhu taught earnestly.

He paused and continued, "And you can't miss the cutting work.

For chefs like us, knife skills are basic skills, and we need to practice diligently."

"Thank you, Master." Ma Hua nodded gratefully.

"Okay, hurry up, lunch time is almost here." He Yuzhu patted Ma Hua's shoulder, then walked to the stove and started heating the pot.

While he was operating it skillfully, he explained to Ma Hua the secret of cooking a big pot dish: "This big pot dish is not like a small stove.

Even though the pot is already very hot, once the cabbage is put into the pot, the temperature of the entire pot will drop immediately.

So, this is why you are asked to drain the water after cutting vegetables. "

Ma Hua stood aside, listening attentively, afraid of missing any details.

He Yuzhu was so excited that his voice unconsciously rose: "Another important point is that Chinese cabbage has a lot of water, so when cooking it, you must stir-fry it quickly over high heat to maintain its taste."

Ma Hua nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

Just then, wisps of green smoke rose from the iron pot.

He Yuzhu looked up at Ma Hua and said with a smile: "Ma Hua, see? The pot is hot now.

If you are not sure, you can do as I did and spread your palm out." As he said this, he spread his palm out and placed it about two inches away from the bottom of the pot.

Ma Hua looked at He Yuzhu's actions, thinking something in his mind.

He carefully stretched out his palm and felt the heat rising from the pot.

When he felt the heat coming from the bottom of the pot, a wonderful feeling came over him, as if he could sense the subtle changes in the temperature of the bottom of the pot.

"Remember the feeling of this temperature." He Yuzhu's voice rang in his ears, and Ma Hua nodded involuntarily.

He concentrated on feeling the temperature of the bottom of the pot, trying to imprint the feeling deeply in his mind.

Just then, other chefs from the cafeteria came over.

They saw He Yuzhu teaching his apprentice, and greeted him and asked if they would be responsible for cooking the cabbage in the afternoon.

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded in affirmation.

These masters wanted to leave. After all, it was He Yuzhu who was teaching them skills, and it was inconvenient for them to stay aside. This was the rule. After all, many industries are afraid of others stealing their skills.

However, He Yuzhu suddenly called out to them: "Come and have a look! We can exchange cooking skills with each other!"

Hearing this, the masters showed surprise on their faces.

Although they are all level nine chefs, most of them have not received formal culinary training.

Now, I have the opportunity to learn how to make big pot dishes from a master chef, which is of course what I want.

Of course, He Yuzhu also had his own plans in mind.

He was not stingy in teaching these chefs the techniques of cooking big pot dishes, but as for the unique skills of cooking small stoves, he planned to keep some and only pass them on to his apprentice Ma Hua.

The masters gathered around happily, their eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

They knew that as long as He Yuzhu was willing to teach them openly, they would definitely benefit a lot and perhaps even learn some new cooking techniques!

It is an indisputable fact that He Yuzhu was not a good person before.

Not only does he have a terrible temper, he also likes to put on airs and speaks very meanly, making it really hard for people to like him.

But to be honest, his cooking skills are quite outstanding. After all, he is a formal apprentice in Fengze Garden, and his father, He Daqing, is also a real chef!

……

In this way, He Yuzhu cooked three pots of Chinese cabbage in a row, and each time he would patiently explain the key points and techniques in detail to Ma Hua.

The other masters also gathered around, listening attentively to He Yuzhu's explanation.

Although there are not many tricks to stir-frying big pot dishes, the cabbage stir-fried by He Yuzhu tastes particularly delicious, which still convinces everyone.

When they heard the tips shared by He Yuzhu, they suddenly realized that these were the reasons why the big pot dishes they cooked tasted bad and did not look good.

By the fourth pot, He Yuzhu finally decided to let Ma Hua try to fry it himself.

At this time, Ma Hua seemed a little timid and seemed to lack confidence in his cooking skills.

However, He Yuzhu did not show any dissatisfaction or impatience. Instead, he gently patted Ma Hua on the shoulder and conveyed a message of encouragement to him with a firm and gentle look.

Although Ma Hua was a little flustered, it could be seen that he was working very hard and seriously to cook the big pot dish.

However, due to lack of experience and skills, his movements seemed a bit clumsy, which made people worry about him.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu was always by his side, patiently guiding and assisting him, so that the whole cooking process went smoothly.

When the dishes came out of the pot, everyone couldn't help but gather around to watch.

He Yuzhu took the lead and took a bite. Then he nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Well, it's not bad! Try it yourself."

In fact, with his years of experience, he can roughly guess how the dishes will taste from their appearance.

But he still tasted it himself, as a kind of affirmation and encouragement to MCA.

Seeing this, the other chefs also picked up their chopsticks and started tasting the food.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast.

These experienced chefs who had been cooking big pot dishes for many years found that the taste of the dish cooked by the novice Ma Hua for the first time was not inferior to theirs, and they couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

It seems that it is really important to follow a good master!

Ma Hua was very happy to see everyone’s reaction.

He imitated He Yuzhu, carefully picked up a bite and put it into his mouth. Suddenly his eyes lit up and his face was full of surprise.

After all, this was the first time in his life that he successfully cooked a big pot dish!

In this way, with the help of He Yuzhu, Ma Hua became more and more skilled in cooking, and cooked delicious dishes one pot after another.

At noon, people who had been busy all morning finally had lunch time.

At this moment, the kitchen helpers rushed to the food window and started serving meals to the workers who had been busy for half a day.

And He Yuzhu finally had some free time.

Unlike other kitchen helpers who had to go to the window to get food, he leisurely served himself a portion of food, then sat quietly aside and enjoyed it with relish.

Just then, an uninvited guest broke into the kitchen again.
