Chef [Quick Transmigration]

A line of work has its own way, and cooks are no exception. The best way to inherit craftsmanship is to have one master lead one apprentice. The so-called three-year knife skills, three-year red work, and three-year white work, it takes nearly ten years for a normal cook to become a master. Of course, there is also a saying that the tricks are eaten all over the world. If what you learn can be used for a lifetime, you can be satisfied with just one skill.

Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for Geng Er to believe that the chef in charge of the spoon in the nephrite building is a doll who is not yet ten years old. Cooking is a job that requires both talent and hard work. Yes, the pot is weighed out, and the skill of making pasta is mastered with a bamboo whip. Even if you learn to cook from the mother's womb, then a small doll can lift the pot with one hand and hold a big spoon?

Zhang Xiaobai naturally knows that this young child has physical limitations. It is the instinct and skill of a craftsman to maximize his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. His signature in Nephrite Building is mainly stewed dishes. What depends on the recipe and heat, pastries and pasta are also based on taste , In fact, if you want patterns, you seldom knead them by hand, but use molds to print them. After taking charge of the spoon, you have developed several kinds of stewed sauce. Chuchu Lane.

Geng Er is the master chef of Yuxia Pavilion. He was the most talented disciple of the Imperial School 20 years ago. If he hadn't been troubled by love, he would have been able to work as an imperial chef in the palace if he hadn't been trapped by love for a few more years. He himself often regretted it. Turning around, Zhou's mother saw that Liu Mingyue couldn't win the heart of the master, so she asked the young girl in the building to serve her. Although her reputation was not very good and she didn't have the face to contact the imperial faction, her life was really good. .

He also knew that the cooks would hide their work, and it was impossible to let him into the back kitchen carelessly. When he came, he made no noise, queued up at the front, and didn't serve until night. He ordered four dishes, was there too much? , the price of the four dishes added up can sleep a good-looking second-class girl in the nephrite building, Geng Er didn't have time to feel distressed, his eyes were already attracted by the dishes on the table.

The owner of the shop will deceive customers. He used to cook in Yuxia Pavilion and did not arrange the dishes. He had apprentices to help him arrange the dishes, but the dishes in the Ruanyu Pavilion were really not arranged because there were too many customers, and they were crowded together. The downstairs lobby was noisy, Geng Er looked at the menu before he came in, and ordered a dish of fried rice, a dish of stewed offal, a cup of milk soup, and a plate of orange silk cake.

Fried rice is the most skillful cook, and there are not many sold in Nephrite Jade Building. Zhang Xiaobai has limited physical strength at the moment, and he doesn't hold a large spoon for a long time. The fried rice was only fried in two pots, and not many fell into Geng Er's bowl. A small bowl is placed on the plate where the koi play in the water. The rice grains are not sticking to each other. They are all yellow and shiny wrapped in egg liquid.

Geng Er put on a serious look, and took a chopstick of fried rice into his mouth. The first thing he felt was the aroma of the fried rice, followed by the distinct texture of the rice grains. The fried rice was said to be fried with overnight rice, because the overnight rice was dry and hard. It is not easy to be sticky when fried. The ingredients include mushrooms, ham and peas, which fully bring out the aroma of eggs and rice without overwhelming the guests. This fried rice can already show its strength.

The cook tasted at most one mouthful, but Geng Er subconsciously ate several mouthfuls. He ate half of a small bowl of fried rice, and when he realized it, Geng Er's expression became more serious.

Then there is lo-mei, which is based on the recipe. The stewed ingredients in a place have the characteristics of a place, and there are also thoughts when ordering braised offal, because offal is just offal, and one part has a special taste of another part. The inferior production method is to mix them all together. For brine, the medium method is to add brine in sequence, while the fine cooks will distribute different brine ingredients according to the parts of the water. This is also a food that can be seen passed down by a cook.

The stewed meat made by Zhang Xiaobai is divided into different parts. The duck feet and chicken feet have different stewed aromas. The main formula of the ingredients has not changed, what has changed is a little detail, it is this little detail that brings out the different flavors of the chop suey, and it is delicious to eat.

Geng Er lined up for the whole afternoon, and he was already hungry at the moment, so he held back and didn't let go of eating. He squeezed a piece of orange silk cake and put it in his mouth. Unexpectedly, this orange silk cake is slightly sour in the mouth, and it is full of orange aroma, which melts slightly in the mouth, and immediately suppresses the fragrant lo mei, and then takes a sip of smooth milk soup. The thick custard aroma immediately conquered Geng Er's taste buds.

He remembered that when he was still young, he first tasted the master's handicraft in the Vientiane Building. Twenty years later, the taste of the past has been constantly beautified in his memory and turned into a heavenly delicacy, which he could not do no matter what he did. Level, after the master passed away, he also thought that he would never taste this pure delicacy again, but after a meal, he was not in a secluded restaurant seat, nor was there a cook waiting to teach him to stand aside uneasy, he Sitting alone in the noisy lobby of the brothel, eating dishes without any presentation, suddenly felt the taste of happiness.

Because of Miss Liu, she fell out with everyone and lived in a brothel. Everyone was ashamed to mention him. Only the master allowed him to come to the door and cook for him. The master said that everything in this life is empty, and real happiness is eating to the goodies.

Geng Er suddenly didn't think about anything, sat and ate all four dishes. On the way back, he thought of Miss Liu who was getting haggard and his original intention of entering the brothel, and sighed.

The downstairs lobby is bustling, because there are too many guests, most of the guests can only share a table to eat, and the brothel that was originally greeted and sent to is turned into a restaurant, and there are fewer girls to accompany customers. They can coexist, but when these girls accompany guests, they can seldom refrain from eating the dishes of the guests. The dishes are limited, and the food for one person becomes two or three people, which is too much.

But because the number of customers has increased, the turnover at night is not low. Su Niangzi has been making money these days, so she can't help turning her original thoughts around: it turns out that she also wanted to buy those official prostitutes when the government sold them. The lady of the former Shangshu family of the household department, after all, the Shangshu of this dynasty is a high-ranking official, there are official prostitutes every year, but there are not many golden phoenixes like this. The price of 20 taels of silver can earn her back at least 1 to 3000 taels, just like Shen Yanwei was only the daughter of a fourth-rank official back then, and when she bought it for 1 taels of silver, she earned at least [-] taels for her.

From Madam Su's point of view, buying and selling official prostitutes is no longer a buyer, but a kind of investment, a business that is sure to make a profit without losing money. Now that she has money on hand, it is really hard not to think about the business she missed.

Zhou's mother in Yuxia Pavilion heard about Mrs. Su's intentions and almost knocked her out. It was the words Geng Er said yesterday after she came back, which made her hold back and listened to Mrs. Su's words on the phone, and then she opened her mouth and said: "The eldest lady has a bad temper and hasn't recovered yet. It's not that she can't give it to you, but your family wants to exchange it."

Mrs. Su immediately thought of Zhang Xiaobai, and before she had time to shake her head, Zhou's mother let out a snort, "Our family has always kept the water in Chuchu Lane. Now that you have made a lot of money, you can't force us to death, and I don't want your cook either. , Copy a copy of your family’s stewed seasoning recipe, and I will give it to Ren Yulou for free, and sign the paperwork now.”

Mrs. Su was a little moved, she knew that Zhang Xiaobai was a capable person, he didn't just rely on stewed meat to erect monuments, not to mention preconceived ideas, Yuxia Pavilion would at most pick up some of the leftover customers they had eaten, in exchange for a golden phoenix that could make money, it would not be a loss at all.

There are ideas in the two times, and it is much easier to talk about business. As soon as the paperwork is signed, Mrs. Su took him back to the nephrite building. Mother Zhou is right, he hasn't recuperated well, and he still has strength after feeding the medicine for a few days Cursing, Mrs. Su came here by herself, and this young lady was carried back in a sedan chair.

Zhang Xiaobai didn't know until the next day that the stewed meat recipe was sold to Yuxia Pavilion. He was not angry at all. He purely pursued making gourmet food. That's the day of the gods. He is now a human being, and he has to eat, and he is paid a generous salary. You can still do what you like, and this day's calamity can be considered easy.

He wrote down the marinade recipe in detail, and seeing the dazed look of the cook from Yuxia Pavilion who came to hand it over, he kindly told him that if the recipe didn't taste right, he could go over and help.

The cook left with the prescription in a daze.

Zhang Xiaobai is a person who doesn’t spend much money. The cook has his own food in the kitchen. Not only that, but also what he wants to eat and do. Apart from buying some fabrics to make clothes, his salary basically doesn’t move much, and Shen Yanwei doesn’t spend it either. Money, the biggest expense of a brothel girl is makeup, clothes and jewelry. These things were given by benefactors when they were young, but at Shen Yanwei’s age, they have to pay for them by themselves. If they don’t buy them, they will look disgraced. , but now she doesn't have to pick up customers, she teaches piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day. Although she doesn't earn much money, it is the happiest life she has ever lived since entering the brothel.

All of Zhang Xiaobai's salary was handed over to Shen Yanwei, and she saved it together with her own share. She didn't want to give birth to this child at the beginning, and let the child follow her into a low status, but abortion would be fatal, and her mother was still sick at that time Fearing that her death would hurt her mother, she had no choice but to give birth. Now that her son is sensible and can earn money, she wants to save more money so that she can use her relationship to change her son's status to a good one, and behave in an upright manner.

Zhang Xiaobai didn't think about it at all. He knew that he came from a calamity. He was originally rich and then poor. With beautiful people appreciating it, it would be a beautiful thing for him if he could live like this for a lifetime and kill decades of time.
