The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

Looking at the headaches of his original students in the lobby downstairs, 'Old Pea Xiao' seemed to feel that it was not exciting enough, clasped his hands together and tapped his palms and said, "By the way, I haven't eaten food made by local people for a long time. Authentic hometown dishes, then simply add one more. The Hexian dishes you want to make must be famous dishes in your hometown. Well, these two are not added. The foreigner, sorry We are not prepared enough. There should be no seafood from your hometown in the kitchen. But it doesn’t matter. You are a foreign friend. You are a guest. I will give you special treatment today. You don’t have to cook a famous dish from your hometown, just cook a seafood from our country. .”

This condition seems to give George a lot of preferential treatment, but in fact it is a fake. It is not easy for a foreigner to cook river seafood from another country, let alone a famous dish.

This kind of request is like throwing a Northeast person to the south, giving him a bottle of shrimp paste and letting him do whatever he wants, but the Northeast person who has never seen shrimp paste and does not know what it is and what it tastes like can only praise He stared at the bottle.

The two old men behind were also staring. None of them expected that Lao Xiao would ask such a question. This kind of difficult test question will not make it possible for the children of their family not to be the last one left, right?

But let them interrupt, the two old men can't speak now, who told them that when they invited Lao Xiao over yesterday, they once revealed that the children were so good that they had to play an extra game, so it's not polite to ask him to be a judge .

Well now, he is really obedient and doesn't mean to be polite at all.

After announcing his request, Lao Xiao looked at the time, and it happened to be eight o'clock. He waved his hand and said, "Students, please start. The time is two and a half hours. You have to let me eat on time before 10:30." The seafood you cook."

The chefs who were waiting for this sentence started to act immediately after hearing the words. Their goal was very unified, which was the preparation area next to the kitchen, and they first went to find the ingredients they wanted to use.

After talking about his request upstairs, Lao Xiao cheerfully entered the box with two other old friends.

Looking at the other two in the box, one glaring at him and the other half smiling, Lao Xiao poured himself a cup of tea indifferently and said, "Why do you two feel distressed? The one who brought me here to preside over this extra game Isn't the purpose just to weed out the extra people? Since I want real gold, I can't burn the fire too small, otherwise I won't be able to refine the true colors of those guys."

"Although that's what you said, you are not afraid that the fire will burn too much and melt the gold together?" In the parents' hearts, Mr. Qi, even if he knows that beating and beating is good for the child's growth, he still can't help but feel distressed.

Hearing the words, Lao Xiao heheed a few times and said: "Don't worry, nine of the children have studied here in school. I have watched each of them for at least three or four years. I know what their strength is. Lao Qi, you Believe it or not, except for the foreigner, whether I know the details or not, at least two of the remaining nine students can successfully beat me, the gatekeeper boss, and break through smoothly."

"Really?"

"Of course, otherwise you can see that Brother Zou's appearance of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai is his disciple and grandson. He must be more attentive than us. If I really have a problem that no one can pass, I won't wait until you, Old Zou. You have to jump up and look for me desperately."

Old Master Qi heard the words and looked sideways, and sure enough, he saw his senior brother sitting quietly at the side, not saying a word to Lao Xiao's 'making things difficult'.

"It seems that both of you know what's in your mind, so I'm relieved, senior brother is serving me a plate of yokan, and I'm not full for breakfast."

"Hey, Lao Qi, you have a mouth full of dentures and you still dare to eat such sweets, aren't you afraid of eating your dentures again?"

"What's the matter if I just eat it? It's better than if you want to eat it or not, 'Old Pea Xiao' hahaha, I can't help laughing now thinking about it."

Looking at the old two who were born out of balance and pinched each other when they had time, Mr. Zou calmly drank the tea in his cup.

Chef Bao downstairs and several other fellow apprentices have already started to select ingredients. Although the topic is demanding, who can successfully break out from the 10-minute quick fry project without hard work?

Because Mr. Xiao has already set the required items, which are well-known hometown dishes plus seafood, for Chef Bao who was born in an inland city in the Northeast, there are actually not many options to choose from.

Among them, the most well-known and the best ones are stewed fish, stewed fish and stewed fish. As for how to stew and what kind of river fish to stew, this is what Chef Bao is considering now.

Compared with him, his two senior brothers were quicker. Zou Huli picked out the best quality small river prawns in the kitchen, and the senior brother took away the mud snails.

Immediately afterwards, Junior Brother Dou picked out the fattest mussels in the basket, and George, the foreigner with yellow hair and blue eyes, took away the most vigorous perch in the pool.

The brothers around Chef Bao picked out the ingredients they were satisfied with one after another, while Chef Bao changed his place and observed carefully beside the pond where the freshwater fish was kept.

Then he took the dipping net and directly fished out a big catfish hidden in the fish school at the bottom of the cement pool.

The catfish was very strong, and it was struggling desperately when it fell into the net, and it was desperately writhing after it came out of the water, hoping to escape from the net pocket and earn a living for itself.

It didn't work at all, and it was brought into the kitchen by Chef Bao along with other ingredients.

This time, Master Zou and his younger brother are still working as supervisors in the kitchen. They are doing their work with all their heart. They are also observing the materials and movements of these contestants, guessing in their hearts what they want to do. What.

Master Zou looked at his big apprentice. The opponent would choose mud snails, which have a strong earthy smell and are not easy to handle, in such an important competition. What did the child think?

Looking at his own son, this boy is simple, the size of the river prawn is so big, it must be the fried shrimp that didn't run away, this boy has a big heart, he doesn't seem to be under any pressure at all.

Looking at his four apprentices, he is now fighting with the big catfish that is full of vitality and not weak in force value at the water case. It has been a long time since I have seen this kid look so serious.

And his little apprentice is currently busy opening the shells, taking out the mussel meat inside, and throwing it into the onion and ginger water to soak to remove the peculiar smell.

Seeing the children busy with their work in an orderly manner, Master Zou nodded secretly. No matter what the result is, at least they are serious and enjoying this fight now.

Different from the last fast-cooking, because there were few people in this extra game and because he was not the main judge, Mr. Zou turned on the monitoring system in the kitchen and began to check the current game status of his disciples and grandchildren.

Installed in the kitchen of Mingyue Building is a relatively advanced high-definition electronic monitoring system, which can view every position in the kitchen in a 360-degree manner without dead ends, and also has the function of fixed-point zoom-in.

When the surveillance video was turned on, it happened to be Zou Kai's position. The old man stared at his grandson's face in the picture, and was stunned for a moment.

How long has it been since I looked at this child so carefully?It seems that since he was stuck in the hotel by himself and chose to come out directly, he went abroad to his mother.

For seven or eight years, the child would only come back to see him when he passed his birthday, but it was just to see. They always quarreled without saying a few words, and then broke up unhappy.

After such a long time, the stupid kid at the time has now grown into a man. In my heart, I thought that refuting my ancestors was against the norms and unacceptable things in this life, but I can gradually see it with time and longing. Now that I think about it, it is quite Incredible.

The kid is handling river prawns now. Like other prawns, he picks out the prawn strings first, but his subsequent actions are different from how other people handle fresh prawns.

I saw that he first picked up Jianqi and then scooped up the river prawn, took a large amount, and then quickly cut off the head of the small river prawn.

After this, the small river prawn lost half of its head, and Zou Kai carefully pulled out something from the head.

"He processed the stomach of the shrimp, so that the two places with the most peculiar smell on the river shrimp were cleaned out, which is very effective in eliminating the fishy smell of the shrimp meat."

I thought it would be fine, but then Zou Huhu peeled the shrimp again, to be precise, peeled half of the shrimp.

The river prawn has a big head and a small body, but even so, Fox Zou still peeled off the shell and meat from the shrimp, but did not pull it off, but only peeled off the body and kept the head, making a double-bodied one. Monsters' out.

"What is this kid going to do? Can't understand?"

The old men wanted to observe more, but Zouhu's next move was to deal with the river prawns, repeatedly pulling the prawn threads, cutting the prawn heads and half-peeling the prawn shells.

It is useless to watch the same action too much, so the old men shifted the camera and started to watch the next one.

Next to Fox Zou is Chef Bao, but he is now at the water table, and the stove is empty.

The catfish has been processed now. Chef Bao is holding the opponent's head, inserting a pair of chopsticks into the catfish's mouth, carefully controlling the force bit by bit, and turning it slowly.

The old men zoomed in on his picture and looked at his technique carefully. Old man Qi said: "Ah Yan is removing the bones of the whole fish and cleaning the internal organs, but why did he do this for catfish? I don't remember any Northeast dishes. Catfish need to be treated this way.”

While speaking, Chef Bao had already turned the catfish in his hand, and then pulled out the chopsticks, directly bringing out all the internal organs and a small part of the bones of the catfish.

Chef Bao looked at the things brought out from the chopsticks. All the internal organs were intact, especially the fish liver and fish gallbladder.

After throwing these things into the trash can, Chef Bao started to clean the gills and body of the fish again.

It was another incomprehensible operation, and the old men found that they had begun to fail to keep up with the young people's ideas.

When the picture was moved to the side of the foreigner, the old men became even more confused. They saw that the foreigner was not cooking well, and he was actually massaging that sea bass in the water basin?

It is a massage, because the fish is good, intact, and jumping around in the water, so it is impossible to use techniques to taste the fish.

? ? ? ? ?

What the hell are these kids doing?Are we unable to keep up with the times or is this society changing too fast?

For a moment, this was the common thought of the three old men.
