Chapter 712 The boss is my girlfriend

"It's so thin, I can also cut it, but it's so long, I can't cut it now. If you are ten years younger, you may have to go home for this dish." Xu Zheng said.

If he didn't mean to admit defeat, this seemingly thin slice of radish was evenly sliced ​​and not broken, requiring special hand stability.Unsteady hands, it is impossible to cut out such sliced ​​radishes,
When people are old, their hands are not as stable as before.That's why Xu Zhengcai said that if he was ten years younger, he could do it, because if he was ten years younger, his hands would be much more stable than now.

Jiang Yang was a little surprised. This was a turn of events. He thought it was hopeless, but he didn't expect Xu Zheng to admit that he had been surpassed.

"Old Xu, my knife skills are still far behind..." Jiang Yang was interrupted by Xu Zheng in the middle of speaking.

"It's good if you know that you are far away. Don't think that if you cut thinner, your knife skills will be amazing. Let me tell you, if you give you another ten years, your knife skills can surpass mine, and I will die without regret. It is." Xu Zheng said.

Jiang Yang held back half of the words in his stomach, feeling a little uncomfortable.At this moment, being educated by Xu Zheng again, Jiang Yang could only smile and nod his head.

Xu Zheng glanced at Jiang Yang and said, "Did you just want to say that you should learn more like me and that today was just a fluke?"

Jiang Yang was taken aback, did Xu Lao say everything in his stomach?
"How do you know?" Jiang Yang asked in embarrassment.

"Your kid is a bit of a fool, I stopped playing 30 years ago. Let me tell you, don't talk about those vain things. Your knife skills today can't surpass mine, just hold back. If one day your knife skills If you surpass me, you don't have to say anything nice, just tell me, old man Xu, I am better at knife skills than you now. I promise I don't feel a little uncomfortable, but I'm very happy." Xu Zheng said.

Jiang Yang scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Xu Zheng sighed, and said: "Although you took a trick, you are still very powerful. I will never be able to do this at your age. I would like to admit defeat, and I will go to work in Xiangdongliu Restaurant."

Jiang Yang laughed: "I really took a chance, and there is no way to do it. If you want to surpass your normal knife skills, I really can't do it in a short time."

"Hahaha, that sounds good to my ears. Remember, kid, the most important thing about knife skills is persistence, and you don't have to practice for a day. If your knife skills really surpass mine, you still need to practice hard." Xu Zheng smiled.

"I see." Jiang Yang said.

"Don't say yes, but don't take it seriously. Jiang Yang, you know that the chefs of the same age as me were talented than me, everywhere, but many of them did not become master chefs in the end, but my talent was not good enough. It’s because they didn’t work hard enough for me. Talent is important, but so is hard work.” Xu Zheng said.

Jiang Yang bowed his head and said, "I will work hard."

Xu Zheng didn't preach anymore, he felt much more at ease now.Admitting that I am inferior to a young man in his 20s is a bit uncomfortable.

After feeling at ease, Xu Zheng began to ask Jiang Yang.

"Is this dish a reference to chicken rolls?"

Jiang Yang nodded and said, "That's right, it's actually equivalent to another version of the chicken roll, except that the dough is replaced with radish, and the salad dressing is replaced with red oil."

"Then what do you think about making the skin of this radish? Although such a thin radish can be curled, it is also easy to break." Xu Zheng asked, and this was also a point of his curiosity.

"After I cut it off, I soaked it in salt water for a while," Jiang Yang replied.

Xu Zheng suddenly said: "After soaking in salt water, part of the water in the radish itself will be lost, causing the originally crisp radish to become softer and more resilient. No wonder, no wonder it can be rolled."

Xu Zheng looked at Jiang Yang and said, "The shredded radish I made before should be as fast as possible to ensure that the water in the shredded radish does not lose too much water. You are doing the opposite, taking the initiative to remove the water in the radish. It is lost. Sure enough, the processing of ingredients is endless, it just depends on the chef's personal inspiration."

After Xu Zheng finished speaking, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

When Jiang Yang heard Xu Zheng's words, he felt a little deeply moved.

Cooking skills are really endless.The Chinese culture has been passed down for 5000 years, and the food culture has been passed down for thousands of years. From the ancients to the present, how many generations and how many chefs have there been?
So many chefs, so many generations of chefs, the research on new dishes has never stopped.

Even though the food materials available to the ancients were limited, their wisdom was no less than that of today's people.

Until now, there are still all kinds of new dishes that have been researched and become new favorites on the dining table.

In other words, for thousands of years, the research on culinary arts has not come to an end.Perhaps, after several thousand years, it will not be able to come to an end.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yang felt how broad and profound the art of cooking is, and it was an endless road.

As a chef, you should go to a higher place to see, go to the front, go to a place that no one has ever been to.

Jiang Yang's heart was full of pride, but he didn't reveal much on the surface.

Xu Zheng asked Jiang Yang to sit down and sit opposite him. He didn't make tea this time.

The two sat facing each other like this, neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Xu Zheng said, "Do you want to hear a story?"

Jiang Yang was taken aback for a moment, but then he realized that what Mr. Xu was talking about should be something that Jiang Yang had never understood.

Before Lin Yong asked Jiang Yang to invite Xu Zheng to work at Xiangdongliu Restaurant, Jiang Yang was always puzzled, and he retired as soon as he retired, isn't it good?Why do you have to invite people out to work?

Lin Yong also said something to Jiang Yang, that is: If you still remember Xu Zheng's kindness for teaching you knife skills, then you invite him to work in Xiangdongliu Restaurant.

Jiang Yang also asked Lin Yong why?
Lin Yong told Jiang Yang that this was Xu Zheng's business, and it was hard for him to talk about it.If Jiang Yang wanted to know, he could ask Xu Zheng himself.

During the previous visits, Xu Zheng never mentioned this matter, and it was not easy for Jiang Yang to ask.

Presumably this is not something worth remembering, otherwise why would Xu Zheng not want to say it?

In order to avoid being scolded, Jiang Yang kept holding back and didn't ask Xu Zheng.

Today Xu Zheng took the initiative to mention it, and Jiang Yang remembered it, so he sat upright and said, "You tell me."

Xu Zheng looked at Jiang Yang's movements, waved his hands and said with a smile: "No need, some past events are not worth mentioning. But since I'm going to work at Xiangdongliu Restaurant, I still need to clarify some things with you."

"Old Xu, you don't have to do this..." Jiang Yang said.

Xu Zheng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say it, it's good for everyone to say it clearly now. But before I say it, let me ask you a question, are you the owner of Xiangdongliu Restaurant?"

Jiang Yang heard the words and said, "No."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xu Zheng's eyes, but he was relieved immediately.He needs to know this, Jiang Yang's background is not enough for him to support such a restaurant.

"But the boss is my girlfriend, and I also have shares in the restaurant." Jiang Yang said suddenly.

This turning point almost caused Xu Zheng to suffer internal injuries. He said angrily, "You said it earlier, why are you panting?"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Zheng said, "Since that's the case, then I don't have any worries. Let me tell you about those past events."
