Cities: Start with street stalls

Chapter 142

Luo Fan said that he wanted to give Zhang Jinxing advice, but he took Zhang Jinxing back to his home and arranged for him to cook a dinner for the two of them with the existing ingredients.

Zhang Jinxing didn't have any objections, this was Master Luo Fan's plan to inspect his craft.

Sure enough, Luo Fan didn't tell Zhang Jinxing to cook and leave it alone, but stayed in the kitchen and just watched Zhang Jinxing cook.

In fact, Luo Fan also had the same idea. Anyway, he wanted to have dinner, so he might as well try Zhang Jinxing's handicrafts. There may not be Zhang Jinxing's handicrafts in the shops outside.

After all, it is obvious that Zhang Jinxing inherited his father's business. As the son of the president of JS Food Association, it is impossible for him to be too bad at cooking.

Moreover, Luo Fan had eaten Zhang Jinxing's beef noodles before, so he still had some confidence in his craftsmanship.

Sure enough, Zhang Jinxing's cooking skills seem to be very good, especially when it comes to handling meat. If Luo Fan hadn't upgraded recently, he might not be able to give him much advice.

Anyone who has played simulation business games knows that the further you go to the back of this type of game, the faster the accumulation of resources.

After so many days of hanging up, Luo Fan's resources in the "Gourmet Canteen" are already very large, and many dishes have been unlocked.

Luo Fan's abilities at this time are:

Fried rice: egg fried rice (excellent), Yangzhou fried rice (excellent), proficient skills (unacquired);

Tofu: stinky tofu (excellent grade), mapo tofu (excellent grade), homemade tofu (common grade), proficient skills (unacquired);

Noodles: noodles (excellent grade), steamed buns/steamed buns/dumplings (common grade), proficient skills (unacquired);

Meat: pigs/cows/sheep/poultry (common level), rabbits (unacquired), proficient skills (unacquired);

Aquatic products: shrimp and crabs (excellent level), fish (common level), shellfish/frog/turtle/seaweed (not acquired), proficient skills (not acquired);

Vegetables: Melons/Leafy Vegetables/Beans/Solanaceous Fruits/Tubers (Common Grade), Onions and Garlics/Mushrooms (Unacquired), Mastery of Skills (Unacquired).

These six are all the types of the entire "Food Canteen". They are all-encompassing. Basically all cuisines are included in it. Even the types that are not listed can also be learned through proficient skills.

Luo Fan only had time to learn some more commonly used skills, and except for rabbit meat, which he didn't have much contact with, he learned all the common-level meat.

The ordinary level of the system is not ordinary at all, it can be regarded as the standard of an ordinary big hotel chef, and it is more than enough to give Zhang Jinxing advice.

Although Luo Fan can already see many problems through watching, but Luo Fan still plans to wait until he has eaten it before giving an evaluation.

Feeling apprehensive, Zhang Jinxing served all the dishes he cooked, and even watched Luo Fan eat the dishes he made.

The dishes Zhang Jinxing cooks are very simple, a stir-fried lettuce, a chili fried meat, and an fried egg with chives, but it is these simple dishes that test the chef's skill the most.

Luo Fan looked at the indifferent Zhang Jinxing and said: "Apprentice, eat quickly, if you don't eat, you will get cold later."

"Don't think about it during meal time. There are some things that you can talk about after dinner."

The master spoke up, Zhang Jinxing naturally dared not refuse, and started to eat today's dinner.

Zhang Jinxing is naturally familiar with his own cooking skills and can't be more familiar with them. He doesn't feel much about eating them, but Luo Fan's cooking makes his eyes shine.

This does not seem to be expensive rice, but the amount of water and the cooking time are just right, which fully stimulates the taste of the rice, which is unexpectedly delicious.

Since ancient times, meals have been complementary to each other. The rice cooked just right combined with the meals he has eaten countless times is unexpectedly delicious, making Zhang Jinxing unable to resist eating an extra bowl of rice.

Zhang Jinxing felt that his father's vision was different from his own, and he could see the difference in Luo Fan. Judging from his cooking skills, it was absolutely impossible for Luo Fan to be good at stinky tofu.

The better Luo Fan's craftsmanship is, the more Zhang Jinxing looks forward to the next comment stage. Maybe after following Luo Fan, his craftsmanship can really be sublimated.

Maybe it was because the two were hungry, or maybe it was because the food tasted good. The two quickly finished all the food. Zhang Jinxing looked at Luo Fan with full expectation, hoping to get the master's compliment.

"If this meal is a home-cooked dish, it tastes okay." Luo Fan said with a smile, "However, for a chef with ideals, there are so many things that are not enough."

"The first is the issue of knife skills. I thought that you would have no problems after training from childhood to adulthood, but unfortunately, I guessed wrong."

"Your knife looks fine on the surface, and the size and length are very suitable, but there is a fatal flaw, which is to destroy the structure of the ingredients themselves."

"Culinary art is nothing more than the skill of processing ingredients. The quality of the ingredients themselves largely determines the taste of the final product."

"You are too pursuing to cut the ingredients into good-looking shapes, but you forget to protect the taste of the food itself as much as possible."

"That is to say, you pay too much attention to the shape, and because of this, you ignore the ingredients themselves. It's really putting the cart before the horse."

Speaking of this, as if afraid that Zhang Jinxing would not be convinced, Luo Fan directly took out the remaining ingredients from the refrigerator, and began to cut in front of Zhang Jinxing.

It is also cut into thin strips, the same size as Zhang Jinxing's obsessive-compulsive disorder. Luo Fan will make a little concession according to the texture of the ingredients themselves.

This also caused the vegetables cut by Luo Fan to be measured strictly with a ruler, and there would still be irregularities and different sizes.

But taste is the most important characteristic of food. When there is a conflict with shape, the shape can only be sacrificed a little.

Luo Fan pointed to the ingredients he had cut and said to Zhang Jinxing, you can use my ingredients and follow the same steps to make a stir-fried pork with chili.

I don't know if it's Zhang Jinxing's illusion. He even felt that the weight of this portion of ingredients was exactly the same as the one he made just now. Judging from the fact that Luo Fan still had some scraps left, he definitely did it on purpose.

Is the master's grasp of the ingredients already so strong?It is actually possible to restore the amount of ingredients based on the food that has been prepared.

Putting away the shock in his heart, Zhang Jinxing forced himself to calm down, and made another fried pork with chili according to the process in his memory.

Looking at Zhang Jinxing, who was still very stable even though he was criticized by him, Luo Fan couldn't help showing admiration. It seemed that the apprentice Zhang Mingxu forced on him was not bad, at least his mentality was very stable.
