The dazzling starlight of the halberd

"Yes, Chef Li, I am here today for Brother Xing Yao to get familiar with the work, and he will come to the kitchen to help in a few days!" A Ling introduced.

Chef Li, whom A Ling called, glanced at Liu Xingyao, then quickly turned around, put the sliced ​​meat into the oil pan and said, "Oh, that's great. The kitchen has not been able to handle enough labor. One more It's great to have people help."

"Brother Xing Yao, this is Chef Li who is in charge of the kitchen affairs when his mother is away on weekdays. If you have anything in the future, just ask him directly!" A Ling whispered in Liu Xingyao's ear.

Liu Xingyao nodded and looked into the pot that Chef Li was cooking.A Ling also turned her gaze into the pot and said, "Uncle Li, what you are cooking now is twice-cooked pork? Is this the customer ordered?"

"Yes, the customer ordered this dish by himself, but Master Abbe had come to cook it himself, but I had to do it for her when she wasn't here!" Chef Li looked at the "cracking" half-fat meat in the pot that had been exploded with oil. .

"Chef Li's craftsmanship is comparable to that of his mother, and the customers will be full of praise for the cooked pork back!" A Ling laughed.

This flattering passed, and Chef Li, who was about 40 years old, was obviously proud.

"Okay, let me show you my best skills today! Hey, my best is Sichuan cuisine!"

Speaking, Chef Li picked up the spoon and started cooking the twice-cooked pork. While cooking, he also talked about the steps and precautions for A-ling, Liu Xingyao and A-ling.

Liu Xingyao witnessed the whole process of chef Lee making twice-cooked pork, but he secretly shook his head while watching.

The meat has been fried in oil for about 10 seconds longer, and the meat must have a harder taste.The ratio of meat to watercress is not balanced (to put too much), people with a more sensitive taste will taste salty.In addition, the time when the green peppers and cabbage are cooked is not accurate!

Generally speaking, this twice-cooked pork is generally cooked, and it is good for ordinary people to eat it. If it is eaten by someone who knows how to cook, it must be a failed dish.

"You're done, the twice-cooked pork is out of the oven! Come on, take it to the guests." Chef Li patted his hands and looked at the cooked twice-cooked pork, nodding with satisfaction.

Chapter 5 The Essence of Twice Cooked Pork

Chef Li nodded with satisfaction and looked at the completion of the cooked pork.This time the pot meat is bright in color and rich in aroma, which makes people very appetizing, so it’s no problem to go to a normal dining table!But Liu Xingyao is still an old saying, if this dish is to be served to people who understand the market, it will definitely find its shortcomings.

Soon the twice-cooked pork cooked by Chef Li was delivered to the dining table of the guests in the corner of the Juxia Hall.There are two people sitting on this table.One is a young person, and the other is a person in his 30s!

The young man has a tall nose, sword-like eyebrows flying diagonally into the sideburns, a few strands of black hair, handsome profile, and facial contours are very handsome, dressed in the service of a rich man, while the other person is dressed as a domestic servant.

"Master... the food is here, you can taste the craftsmanship of the chef at Juxia!" The man in his 30s said to the handsome man.

The handsome man nodded, his gaze fell on the cooked pork cooked by Chef Li in front of him.

"The source of twice-boiled pork can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty and originated in Zhangkan in Dongpo District. By the time we have been in the Qing Dynasty, the twice-boiled pork has basically been shaped. The taste of twice-boiled pork is all about its color, flavor and taste... However, the color and fragrance of this dish can only be said to be average!" Junmei The man looked at the cooked pork in front of him and did not rush to eat it but commented like this.

When the servant on the side heard this, he said with a hint of disdain in his tone: "Looking at it this way, Master Abe, the chef of Ju downstairs, is nothing more than that. Then, won't the young master win the cooking contest next month? deal?"

"No... Master Abbe's cooking skills can never make such a clumsy cooking. This should have been done by other people." The handsome man said, picking up his chopsticks and picking up a piece of cooked pork and putting it in his mouth to eat.

After only one bite, the handsome man stood up and walked away. The servant behind him threw some broken silver on the table and followed him.

"It's a waste... I just took a bite and didn't eat it?" The shop Xiaoer who came downstairs shook his head and put away the broken silver on the table, and brought only one piece of cooked pork into the kitchen.

In the kitchen

Liu Xingyao is still strolling in the kitchen under the leadership of A Ling... After watching for so long, the level of these chefs is generally average... Not even the strength of the ten seats of Yuanyue Academy!Sure enough, there are hundreds of years of differences in food culture, which are indeed different.

"Chef Li looks like your cooked pork is not selling well this time, and the guests haven't moved at all!" The shop Xiaoer put the cooked pork cooked by Chef Li in front of his eyes.

When Chef Li saw...this time the pot meat hasn't moved at all!

"What's the matter, the guests didn't eat?" Chef Li was very surprised and surprised.

Xiao Er spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, and said, "How do I know... the young man just took a bite and left. Maybe something is urgent!"

"It's a waste, come here~ everyone eat together, Aling Xingyao, come and eat together!" Chef Li greeted everyone to come and eat together.

Everyone, you take one bite and I take one bite, and this dish of cooked pork is divided and eaten.

"Well~~~ It's delicious, Chef Li has been known for his craftsmanship recently! This time the pot is fat and not greasy, it's really the best!"

"That's right, this cooking has almost caught up with Master Abbe!"

Chef Li was praised by everyone, even after Ah Ling finished eating...

"It's so delicious. This time the pot meat, right? Brother Xingyao?" A Ling said to Liu Xingyao with joy.

Liu Xingyao smiled, and then shook his head and said: "When making hot-cooked meat, the oil temperature should not be too high. It is better to blanch the meat at 40%, then put the meat to torment. After the cut meat is left for a while, the meat pieces will stick together. If you want to stir-fry, it is easy to separate the fat and the thin. If you let the sticky oil of the meat slices dissolve and disperse by themselves, it will easily cause the bottom to burn and become greasy. Therefore, the broth of the boiled meat should be kept at a certain temperature. The meat is scattered in the soup with a ladle, and then boiled in the pot, so that the fat and thinness will continue. Moreover, a certain amount of moisture on the meat can also keep the meat tender and soft. We Sichuanese call the twice-cooked meat also called boiled meat. In our cooking skills, There is no "boil" method. It combines the four methods of stir-frying, simmering, stir-frying and deep-frying, so that the cooked dishes have the flavor characteristics derived from the four methods. However, although Chef Li’s cooking is delicious, But the details are not handled properly in 5.1..."

Liu Xingyao habitually commented on the cooking, but before he finished talking, he interrupted him and said, "You said so much... are you questioning Chef Li's cooking skills? Who is your kid?"

Ah Ling came back to look at the introduction and said: "Ah... I forgot to introduce it. This is Brother Xing Yao coming back to the kitchen to help in a few days."

"Oh... it turned out to be smashed. The smashed people who don't even know how to cook are actually questioning the dishes cooked by Chef Li who has been rolling in the kitchen for decades. This is really a joke!" The chef laughed like this. Tao.

Chapter 6 Conspiracy

"Haha, a smasher came to question Chef Li's cooking? This little brother, I think you didn't come to smash you to be funny?" A chef downstairs in Ju laughed at Liu Xingyao.

When the fat chef said this, everyone else in the kitchen laughed to varying degrees, and cast disdain towards Liu Xingyao.Liu Xingyao didn't pay attention to everyone's eyes, but shook his head and walked out of the kitchen.

"Hey... Brother Xing Yao."

A Ling glanced at Chef Li a little awkwardly and apologized: "Excuse me, Chef Li...Don't mind what Brother Xing Yao said just now, he didn't mean it."

Chef Li was flattered by everyone just now, and he was still fluttering and didn't put Liu Xingyao in his eyes...so he didn't care about what happened just now.

"Forget it, how can I go back and care about a smasher, I don't know who is not guilty!" Chef Li made the appearance that the prime minister can hold the 09 boat in his belly.

After Ah Ling said thank you, she walked out of the kitchen and ran after Liu Xingyao.

Liu Xingyao walked out of the kitchen and didn't walk towards the backyard (rest place), but was going to take a look on the street outside. A Ling came to Liu Xingyao in a trot.

"Um... Brother Xingyao, why did you just say that Chef Li's cooking has a problem?" A Ling asked for a while.

When Liu Xingyao heard A Ling's question, with a smile on his lips, he said, "Why do you ask? Don't you think I'm the same as what they said, don't understand anything?"

A Ling was taken aback for a while, and then said: "No...I don't think Brother Xingyao is talking nonsense. In the morning, you only have a bite of the porridge made by mother to know the process. I think you are also very good at cooking. ."

"Hehe, that's it."

Liu Xingyao laughed for a while and then said: "Chef Li's cooking just now is not bad. It doesn't matter if it is eaten by ordinary people. But if you were in the halberd showdown just now, you must have lost!"

"Food halberd showdown?" A Ling obviously didn't understand what the halberd meant.

"Oh... the meaning of eating halberd is to compete with cooking." Liu Xingyao explained.

"that…"

When Liu Xingyao saw A Ling, he would continue to ask, and he didn't want to worry about the topic just now, and said: "Alright, A Ling will take me to the street. I am going to buy something!"

Sure enough...no matter in ancient times or now, any woman is excited and happy when it comes to shopping!

"Go shopping!? What should Brother Xingyao want to buy?" Aling immediately became ashamed.
