It seems that I am still too full [travel]

"Officer? Officer? Hurry up, wake up, it's getting dark, huh, do you want to continue for another night?" A woman, wearing only a small coat on her upper body, sat on the edge of the bed, crying softly to sleep on the bed Shen's benefactor.

The man on the bed didn't tire of disturbing him, he woke up slowly, and muttered in his mouth: "Little slut, I'm going to die, dare to disturb your father's sleep!" The man had a dark complexion and a strong body, but he was honest and honest. The body smelled of alcohol, especially drunk, staring at the woman with a pair of eyes, cursing in the mouth, so angry that the woman softened in fright.

Fortunately, at this time there was a Guigong knocking on the door outside: "Is the official up? Someone is looking for you outside."

The woman responded immediately: "Get up, come in." She hurriedly waited for the man to get dressed.

The man who stayed overnight in the flower building was Lu Jia, the assistant in the canteen of the college. Lu Jia had been proud of himself recently, and Xie Ju had been squeezed away.The principle of one emperor and one courtier also applies to a small kitchen.In the past, there was a fair and strict Chef Xie who was in charge, so the back kitchen naturally had an orderly division of labor and clear rewards and punishments.However, the chef changed, and all the demons and monsters who were suppressed underneath also ran out.

Those villains in the cafeteria who wanted to change jobs rushed to flatter Lu Jia. Yesterday, there was one person who wanted to buy for him, so he spent money to set up a banquet in Hualou, and ordered two toasts. The waiter invited Na Lujia to drink flower wine, and the two of them spent a lot of time drinking, and after they got drunk, they ordered a nice person to stay overnight.

The room was opaque, and Lu Jia couldn't see the sky at this time, but for some reason, he felt a little panicked, and asked in a rough voice, "What time is it?"

The woman replied in a low voice, "It's almost time."

Lu Jia was startled immediately. He fell asleep for most of the day because of the drunkenness. He hurriedly pushed the woman away, got out of bed and put on his cloth shoes, and hurriedly opened the door to leave. Two monkeys.The second monkey Wang is the fire-burner in the back kitchen, and he is usually Lu Jia's henchman, so he has benefited greatly from Xie.

Wang Erhouzi hurriedly said: "Chef Lu, hurry up and go back to the academy with me. Today the academy came to entertain some nobles, and the servant next to Mr. Cen went to the back kitchen to order food, and happened to see that you were not there. I will hide it from you." Now, hurry back to the back kitchen to preside over the dinner!"

Chaoshi eats some porridge, side dishes and snacks. The back kitchen is used to cooking, and each has a division of labor. Even if Lu Jia is not there, it doesn’t hinder anything. Lu Jia, who Xie Ju regarded as a half-disciple, had only learned a little bit of kung fu, and the two of them were away, so naturally no one would be able to do the back kitchen.So Wang Erhouzi hurried out to find someone, and the two of them ran while talking, wishing they could have a pair of flying legs so that they could go to the academy immediately.

Looking at the other end, in the back kitchen of the academy, there are more than [-] large pots at this time, most of which are not lit, only a few pots in the middle are steaming white, and a follower is standing beside them. A young man in a shirt who is out of place in the back kitchen.Although the fire has not been officially started yet, the assistant chefs in the back kitchen also have to wash vegetables and cut meat to prepare for cooking, so they are also very busy.

However, today the help cooks are all a little absent-minded. They are working with their hands, but they don’t look at their hands. One or two secretly glance at the scholar who is cutting vegetables in the middle. I heard that that is the scholar of Xie Chef’s family. Son, look at him, he is really a good-looking talent. There are no handsome people in ten miles and eight villages. How did he come to their back kitchen and start cooking, accompanied by big shots from the academy!

Xie Shi didn't care about these overt or covert prying and curiosity. After selecting enough ingredients and preparing them, he seriously devoted himself to food production.Of course he didn't need to come to light the fire, Cen Yu asked the back kitchen to call a skillful fire burner to help Xie Shi.

While the water was boiling in the stove, Xie Shi made some salads.The cold four pieces refer to cold jellyfish shreds, cold fungus, cold lotus root slices, and cold cucumber. These four crisp and refreshing cold dishes are mostly vegetables in the summer season, which is in season.Most of the cold dishes, the emphasis is on the seasoning. The secret seasoning is the secret of Xie Ju's good cold salad. Xie Shi also has his own special seasoning.

The four kinds of cold dishes look like a lot of work, but in fact the seasonings of these kinds of cold dishes are almost the same, so you only need to chop and cook the ingredients, prepare the sauce and mix well. It is simple and quick, but the taste is not bland.

When Xie Shi was making cold salad, most of the others thought it was the secret recipe taught by Xie Ju, and several of them silently memorized the seasoning and order. Unfortunately, they couldn't accurately grasp the portion. The right amount was poured into the bowl, neither adding nor subtracting a cent.

The cold salad is just an appetizer, and the next dishes are the real show.

The boiling water in the large pot is boiled, and ginger slices and green onions are thrown in. After the carefully selected small oil chicken has been removed and the internal organs are removed, it is directly immersed in boiling water and boiled. Soak slowly, and then pinch the time to remove and pour cold water.The white-cut chicken produced in this way is just cooked and not rotten. Only a few traces of blood remain from the bones after cutting into pieces to prove its incomparable tenderness.

Coupled with Xie Shi's carefully prepared dipping water with more than a dozen seasonings, a classic Lingnan cold meat and white-cut chicken is complete.Once an expert makes a move, he will know the depth. Before the others can react, Xie Shi has already started to sharpen his knife and rush towards the second dish.

If white-cut chicken is the number one genius of Cantonese cuisine, then fried stuffed tofu is one of the three beauties of Hakka cuisine. It is said that the Central Plains people who moved southward in their clothes in history came to the south and came up with fried dumplings. Yong Tau Foo as a substitute for dumplings.

Dig a small square of snow-white tofu into a small hole, "stuff" it into the half-cooked minced meat filling, put it in the oil pan, and with a "stab" sound, the sense of hearing and taste are greatly stimulated at the same time, and the aroma of beans and meat is immediately overflowing. When thanking, fry the tofu until golden on all sides, then pour in the thickened thick soup made of minced tofu and minced meat, cover the pot and simmer. At this time, the rich aroma filled the back kitchen, and some people began to swallow their mouths.

The fireman who was sitting next to the stove pulling the bellows felt the aroma the most at this time, and he had just eaten a meal not long ago, but now his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

This taste torture was not over yet, while the tofu was being stewed, Xie Shi turned around and brought back a small and round wax gourd and a thick-fleshed mandarin fish.The two dishes of winter melon soup and mandarin fish rolls need to be steamed at the end, so Xie Shi plans to prepare the ingredients at the same time.

Cen Yu, who had been watching in the back kitchen, was originally worried that he would be in a hurry due to time constraints and unfamiliar places, but after a while, Xie Shi was busy and orderly, and his movements were extremely fast, with a calm and unhurried expression on his face, and he was done in a blink of an eye. He ordered two dishes, which made him look forward to the banquet even more!After all, even a diner like him who thinks he is well-informed has never tasted these dishes.

The mandarin fish was sliced ​​in half, and the slices were cut into slices again with a knife in hand. Xie Shi even improvised a melon carving for the winter melon in a leisurely manner.Since the guest to be entertained is an old man, it is very appropriate to carve the pictures of melons and bamboos on the wall of the melons and the pictures of Magu's birthday.Stir-fry and stew until overcooked pork ribs are poured into the carved wax gourd, simmer until the delicious shredded ham, shredded mushrooms, and winter bamboo shoots are put into mandarin fish slices, rolled into small rolls, and then thickened. Both can be steamed.

However, Xie Shi didn't stop. Taking advantage of this time, Xie Shi started rolling out the wonton dough again.I took the dough left over from the back kitchen during the morning meal. It has already been made and rested, saving most of the time.The wonton skin is rolled into a thin and uniform sheet, cut into square wonton skins in three or two strokes, filled with fresh shrimp and minced pork stuffing, and gently press the five fingers into the palm of the hand. Long, when you pinch the tiger's mouth, it is a shrimp wonton in the shape of a goldfish tail.

The wontons are thrown into the hanging broth one by one, like a group of small goldfish entering the water, and their hems are swaying in the boiling soup like fish tails.

It was also a coincidence that as soon as Xie Shiyuntun started to cook, two people rushed in outside. It was Lu Jia and others who rushed back from the flower building.

It's also because Lu Jia walked too much at night, God is happy for him to be unlucky, he hastily entered the back kitchen from the outside, his attention was all attracted by Xie Shi who was making soup by the stove, he didn't see many helpers Among them was a young man in fine clothes—his immediate boss, Cen Yu.

Xie Ju regarded Lu Jia as a half-disciple, and the two had a good relationship in the past. Xie Shi also came to the academy when he was a child, so Lu Jia had naturally met Xie Shi.Seeing that he was using it casually in the back kitchen, as if he was the master, he immediately didn't think about why he appeared in the back kitchen, but his face sank, "What are you doing to eat! Where is the back kitchen? Put it in, if something goes wrong with the food, who will be responsible?"

Lu Jia thought that his accusations and scolding Huai Huai were very imposing, but he didn't want to, not only did Xie Shi's client ignore his words, and he didn't stop the movements of his hands, even the other people in the back kitchen were strangely quiet at this moment. No voice to help.

Lu Jia suddenly felt humiliated, and said sarcastically, "I forgot that there might be no rice in the Xiucai's house, otherwise Xie Ju wouldn't be a thief and stole the money from the academy. It's just that the back kitchen of the academy It's not your Xie family's kitchen, Xie's chef has been expelled from the academy, and Mr. Xiucai can't play wild here."

These words were not unpleasant, Xie Shitian's smiling face turned cold, and his eyes looked at him like a knife.

"Chef Lu is so majestic. He not only absents himself from work for no reason, leaves his post without authorization, but even insults the distinguished guests I invited. Those who don't know think you are the master of this academy." Cen Yu didn't even shake a feather fan. He smiled and praised him for his prestige, but in fact he was full of anger.

When Lu Jia heard the casual familiar voice, he broke out in a cold sweat. He looked up stiffly, and he really met the cold eyes of Shang Cen, as if he was looking at ants.

Cen, why are senior officials here? !When he said thank you just now, was the sick man a distinguished guest he invited? !

Lu Jia was startled and terrified, how dare he play the prestige of a chef: "Cen, Mr. Cen, why are you here in the back kitchen!" Then he looked at Xie Shi at the side, and said: "You don't know something, thank you The giant guarded himself and stole it, and embezzled it for himself..."

Cen Yu interrupted him: "Shut up! Don't lie! Who told you that Chef Xie embezzled public funds without authorization? Chef Xie had my instructions, but I was in a hurry to go to the state capital and forgot to tell the steward."
