Siheyuan: In 1980, He Yuzhu fought back with all his might

Chapter 4

Found a treasure!

As a chef, you start as an apprentice. You first practice knife skills and then cook. Knife skills are the basic skills of a chef. He Yuzhu rarely cuts vegetables by himself since he became a chef. However, over the years, his craftsmanship has not improved. rusty!

When he took the kitchen knife, he felt like he was connected by blood. The kitchen knife seemed to be alive in his hand.

His knife skills are extremely exquisite, accurate and powerful, and he can achieve uniformity whether slicing or dicing. With a flick of his wrist, slices of radish as thin as cicada wings fell on the chopping board.

Da da da!

The sound of the collision between the blade and the cutting board is steady and rhythmic, like a musical symphony.

He Yuzhu seems to have a special tacit understanding with the ingredients, and he can accurately control the strength and angle of every move.

Bringing ingredients into their best form

【Chopping vegetables, cooking skill +5】

……

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

After all, Sun Huo had studied cooking, and he could guess He Yuzhu's unusual identity just by looking at his knife skills.

"Uncle He!"

"You're a knife expert, you used to be a chef, right? He

Yuzhu said with a smile. He put the knife next to him and carefully put the ingredients on the plate.

The chef deals with the ingredients, and his respect and rigor for the ingredients are integrated into every detail. A chef who does not respect the ingredients is definitely not A good cook.

This move made Sun Huo more sure of He Yuzhu’s identity:

"Uncle He must be an old cook!"

He Yuzhu packed the ingredients:

"I went to Fengzeyuan to learn art when I was ten years old, and worked as a chef in Fengzeyuan for a while. Later, after the public-private partnership, I went to work as a chef in the steel rolling mill. I was only 18 years old at that time, and I have been working in the steel rolling mill ever since."

"In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years have passed."

Sun Huo admired him even more!

His former master was a bartender, and he studied with the master for a while. In his opinion, He

Yuzhu's knife skills are obviously much better than his master's.

"sharp!"

"A veteran chef of more than 30 years, I just asked you to help me cut vegetables. I am blind and blind."

Chen Yuan looked at He Yuzhu in surprise.

She didn't expect that the person she accidentally rescued was an old chef. She was really lucky this time.

She found a treasure.

The deterioration of the restaurant's business is ultimately due to the lack of a good cook. For They spent a lot of time and energy looking for a good cook.

Now they have no place to look for, and it takes no effort at all!

Chen Yuan invited:

"Uncle He, you can stay in the restaurant as a cook from now on. An old cook like you is the leader."

"Restaurant business will definitely pick up."

Sun Huo was also advising beside him:

"Uncle He, you stay here, I will work for you from now on!"

The restaurant business is not big, the kitchen is small, there may be only one real chef, and the work is not divided into details.

It is not like a large restaurant like Fengzeyuan, where there are more than a dozen people in the back kitchen, including the head chef, second chef, and third chef. Once the division of labor is clear, everyone will do his or her part.

He Yuzhu smiled and said:

"Aren't you afraid that I will take your position as chef?"

Sun Huo was honest:

"At my level, I can't get on the stage. If Sister Chen hadn't come to the countryside to find me, I would have planned to study for a while. Now that I'm here to help you, I can also learn some skills from you."

Even if He Yuzhu doesn't teach, Sun Huo can still learn some skills under the influence of his own eyes and ears.

In He Yuzhu's eyes, Sun Huo is a good young man, down-to-earth, willing to learn, and a good prospect.

In the future, he wants to work in the catering industry. To develop ambitious plans, we need talents.

He Yuzhu has a cultivation heart:

"It's rare that you have such a heart. There are not many children as down-to-earth as you."

Chen Yuan ran out in a hurry:

"I have to tell my cousin this, she will be very happy to know!"

Chen Guo was lying on the counter!

Her eyes were fixed on the direction of the door, feeling anxious inside. It was already dinner time, why were there no customers yet?

She walked to the door and glanced across the way. The restaurant opposite was overcrowded and there were still a lot of people. There were several people waiting outside.

She was very frustrated.

Would you rather wait in line than go to the family restaurant to eat?

The name of the restaurant opposite is called Xiangyuan, and the chef of Xiangyuan came from Chen Kee Restaurant.

This made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Cousin, I found a good chef. This time our restaurant can be saved. Come with me."

Chen Yuan came out and shouted.

Chen Guo didn't quite believe it. The private economy is so booming now and good chefs are hard to find. Where can there be good chefs?

Chen Yuan pulled Chen Guo into the kitchen, pointed at He Yuzhu and said:

"It's just him, Uncle He is a thirty-year-old chef, and he once learned the craft in Fengzeyuan."

Of course Chen Guo knows Fengzeyuan, it is a century-old restaurant.

It is still a famous restaurant in Forty-Nine City, and its business is very prosperous. Their customers come from all over the country, and even many foreigners come to patronize it. It is not a small restaurant like hers. Yes.

The chefs from Fengze Garden are very popular and everyone is rushing to get them.

Chen Yuan said:

"You see, this is the vegetable that Uncle He cut just now. I just took a sip of water and he cut it."

Chen Guo had no choice but to believe it. She was so cold that she had to squeeze out a smile:

"Uncle He! Is it convenient to show your hands?"

He Yuzhu nodded. If he wants to work here, he must show his craftsmanship to the boss. Otherwise, with just your ability to chop vegetables, which boss would dare to nod to you?

He scanned the kitchen. Ingredients, chicken, fish, chili, Sichuan peppercorns and other ingredients are all available.

Then he said:

"I'll cook a spicy chicken dish for you to try. If you think it's delicious, then I'll stay."

He Yuzhu picked a good piece of chicken, cut it into small pieces, and marinated it with salt and cooking wine to add flavor. He turned around to deal with dried chili peppers, peppercorns, ginger, garlic and other seasonings.

Then he lit a fire and burned the oil, and waited for the oil to boil. Put the marinated chicken into the oil pan and squeeze it dry. After the color of the chicken turns golden brown, He Yuzhu took out the spicy chicken in time and put it aside to dry.

Then put in the dried chili pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic and other seasonings. Stir-fry in the pot, add seasonings such as salt and pepper.

After a while, the spiciness of the pepper and the numbness of the pepper blend into the oil and float in the kitchen.

He Yuzhu poured the fried chicken into the pot in time stir fry

【Cooking +10】

【Understood the classic Cantonese cuisine, white-cut chicken】

【Understand the classic Cantonese cuisine, crispy roast pork】

【Understand the classic Cantonese cuisine, steamed sea bass]

The chicken perfectly absorbs the flavors of various seasonings, the meaty aroma of chicken, the spiciness of chili peppers, the numbing and oily aroma of Sichuan peppercorns, all kinds of flavors are perfectly blended together, natural and mouth-watering Big move.

The spicy chicken is out of the pan.

The golden chicken and red peppers are mixed together and complement each other. The appearance alone makes people appetite.

Chen Guo couldn't wait to take the chopsticks and tasted a piece. She was instantly conquered by the taste.

"tasty!"

Chen Yuan tasted a piece and felt all kinds of flavors exploding on her taste buds. After eating it for a while, she felt that it was not enough and wanted to eat more.

Sun Huo expressed his inner admiration sincerely:

"Uncle He is amazing. Ordinary spicy chicken can produce this kind of flavor. Your cooking skills can even go to a big restaurant. Now that you say you are the chef of Fengzeyuan, I believe you, turning decay into magic. He

Yuzhu smiled and said:

"Now I want to stay and be a chef, is that okay?"

Such a good cook can't be found even with a lantern. He Yuzhu is willing to stay, which Chen Guo couldn't ask for.

She said:

"It's a blessing to our restaurant that you're willing to stay."

At this time, two elderly people passed by outside the restaurant. After smelling the aroma coming from the restaurant, they took a deep breath:

"fragrant!"

"It must be spicy chicken, authentic spicy chicken. I haven’t tasted authentic Sichuan food in a long time."

"Go in and try it!"

After the two old people went in and sat down, they began to reminisce:

"The last time I tasted such authentic Sichuan cuisine was in the canteen of the steel rolling mill, and it still reminds me of it!"
