Xianjia Pastoral

Chapter 52

"Huh?" Chen Peiqi's voice was not deliberately soft, so the conversation between the two was exhausted. Cheng Weierli, whoever she invited to come had nothing to do with her.

However, I learned from Chen Xingzhong earlier that this birthday celebration did not invite too many people to participate.So there were only six banquet tables in total, and he was in charge of three of them.

Now that Chen Peiqi asked Master Liu to be in charge of six tables of banquets, does this mean that Cheng Wei is redundant?

"What are you looking at, keep doing your thing."

Li Chaoxian as a good friend and Zhang Pingan as an apprentice know exactly how Cheng Wei's cooking skills are. At this time, they are unhappy that each other looks inferior to others, but Cheng Wei yells at them, so they can only concentrate on continuing to work.

Indeed, arguing with the other party now is just a waste of saliva, and in this case, let the facts speak.

The two groups split the kitchen in two, ignoring each other.That Liu Dan was not so obvious at the beginning, but later on, no matter whether he was working or guiding, he had to look at Cheng Wei and the other three every few minutes.

Unable to bear it after all, Liu Dan walked up on his own initiative.The person who spoke turned out to be Zhang Ping'an who was working hard, and said, "Boy, what's your name? I think you are very talented. Do you want to learn to cook from me?"

Zhang Pingan looked up at him, then continued with the work at hand.If Zhang Ping'an hadn't worshiped Cheng Wei as his teacher, there might still be such a possibility.Now, he felt that the other party didn't have the ability to teach him.

"Hey, kid. It's your luck that my master likes you. Don't be shameless."

Apprentice Xiaowen's words were a bit tasteful. He had been working beside Liu Dan for three years before the other party reluctantly accepted him as his apprentice.The guy in front of him had to say that he was lucky to be spotted by his master.But for him himself, if Zhang Pingan agrees to this request, his position will not be long before he will be replaced.

"I have a master." Zhang Pingan said impatiently.

"Do you have a master?" Hearing this answer, Liu Dan was a little bit disappointed.That's right, he is such a good basic swordsman, if he doesn't have a famous teacher to guide him, then his aptitude would be too monstrous.

"Which master do you worship? Tell me, maybe I know it too." Liu Dan asked.

Zhang Ping'an curled his lips and raised his chin towards Cheng Wei.

"What! Just him?" In Liu Dan's eyes, from the time he entered the door to the present, Cheng Wei didn't even do it himself, and he didn't even guide him.

At this time, Cheng Wei, who was half-closed, stretched his waist and swayed his neck.The expression on his face seemed to be demonstrating to the other party, why is he my apprentice?You bite me?

"Oh, it's a pity that such a good piece of jade." Liu Dan shook his head, not knowing whether he was disappointed with Cheng Wei or Zhang Ping'an.

"Oh, this big nose, it seems that Zhang Ping'an will waste his talents if he follows me."

If it was normal, he wouldn't bother to care about it, but today people are in good spirits when they have a happy event, so he patted Zhang Ping'an on the shoulder and said, "Good apprentice, master is in a good mood today. Let me show you how much you can learn. It depends on your understanding." gone."

After speaking, Cheng Wei put on his apron and started the fire.

Cheng Wei brought various ingredients to the stove, the main ingredients of which were: pork ribs, green peppers, onions, carrots, pineapples, and lemons.

After the apprentice Xiaowen saw it, he said with a clear vision: "Master, he didn't want to make sweet and sour pork, did he? The old man of the Chen family is celebrating his birthday. This kind of dish is too low-grade."

Liu Dan just nodded and explained: "There are two nemesis in the kitchen, one is dry fried beef river, and the other is sweet and sour pork. The most important thing about sweet and sour meat is that the sweet and sour sauce cannot take away the umami of the meat, and the ribs must be Crunchy."

"Ribs!" Cheng Wei was no longer in the lazy state just now, but became extremely serious.Boil the pan with hot oil in one hand, and hold a large spoonful of chopped ribs in the other hand.

When making sweet and sour pork, some people think that half-fat pork belly is better, because it tastes fat but not greasy, and the taste is much stronger, but it is not suitable for the elderly.

"Starch!" Cheng Wei first dipped the ribs into the egg liquid, then put them into a plate with starch, and kept shaking the spoon to coat the surface of the ribs with a fine layer of starch.

"Hahaha, master, look at that guy, he must have forgotten to add starch in advance, and now he is wrapping his coat." Xiaowen laughed.

Even his apprentice knew the marinade or the breading, which had to be done before cooking.Now Cheng Wei came to wrap his coat in an emergency, and said he was not a novice?

"Shut up and read on carefully."

Liu Dan's originally contemptuous eyes also became serious. Cheng Wei's approach definitely did not mean that he had forgotten his previous efforts. He did this because he did not want the starch to take away the taste of the meat.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the way.Cheng Wei's hand is the real test of kung fu. Too much powder coating will still take away the taste of the meat, and too little powder coating will make it impossible to form. Only his apprentices will use "common sense" to laugh at each other.

"Sweet and sour juice!" Cheng Wei didn't add the ingredients directly to the fried pork ribs, but took out the ribs with a spoon, and then put them into the sweet and sour juice made with lemon, onion, pineapple and other ingredients, and the spoon kept turning it .

"ice!"

This is already the last step. Put the ribs with thick sauce into a plate filled with ice, and turn the plate back and forth to cool down as quickly as possible.

During the interval, Cheng Wei first put the side dishes on the plate.He took five more fruits and vegetables of different colors, and with just one palm, all the fruits and vegetables on the chopping board were lifted into the air, and then Cheng Wei raised the knife and dropped it.

With a few sounds of "swish, swish, swish", Cheng Wei put the plate down, and the five kinds of vegetables and fruits automatically formed a fan-shaped picture without his hands. It turned into a picture of a peacock opening its screen again.

And those spare ribs made of ice, the surface seems to be covered with a layer of crystal, which is somewhat similar to candied haws.

Except for Zhang Ping'an who was immune, no matter whether it was Li Chaoxian, apprentice Xiaowen, or Liu Dan's helpers, they all spoke loudly.Even Liu Dan opened his mouth slightly, are you sure this is not a part of filming?

"Master..." Xiaowen was about to speak.

"Don't talk, let's work." It's not that Liu Dan doesn't want to say anything, but that he has nothing to say. Cheng Wei's skills are no longer what he, a four-star chef, can comment on.

"Ping An, how is it? Have you seen everything clearly?" Cheng Wei took off his apron, clapped his hands and asked.

Zhang Ping'an replied weakly: "I see clearly, but... I can't do it."

"Which part can't be done?"

"Just the part where you slapped all the ingredients into the sky with your slap, and then swished."

"Ahem, it's safe. I want you to learn how to cook, not to be handsome with me. You just put the ingredients on the chopping board and cut them."
