Chapter 12 Reforming the Back Kitchen and Teaching Cooking Skills

The next day, Xie Shi came to the cafeteria of the academy early. After a day of exploration and observation yesterday, he had basically grasped the situation of the back kitchen of the academy. At the same time, he also discovered some existing problems, so he decided not to leave the kitchen as it was yesterday. For example, it is necessary to make drastic changes to the cafeteria.

He came very early, but there were also people who arrived earlier than him, one was Aunt Lu who was in charge of cooking, and the other was Wu Dalang, the cook at the white case.Wu Dalang's real name is Wu Bai, he is 35 years old, he is the eldest in his family, so he is known as Wu Dalang.

Aunt Lu was sweeping the floor with a dustpan, and when she saw Xie, she was quite enthusiastic: "Chef Xie, does he still want to make wontons today?" Aunt Lu was in charge of cooking wontons for the students yesterday at Xie hour. At the side, she was so greedy for the fragrance, but unfortunately, Xie Shi didn’t make many wontons, just to try water, but the queue of students was so long, she didn’t taste one in the end, and she has been thinking about it since the day before yesterday.

Xie Shi responded, "I'll do it in the future, and I'll add a few breakfasts today. Chef Wu, come over here."

Wu Dalang was kneading the dough and didn't get involved in the conversation between the two of them. When he met Xie Shi, he called himself, so he put down the dough, wiped the flour from his hands and came to Xie Shi.

Xie Shi instructed him: "For today's breakfast, instead of making ordinary steamed buns and steamed buns, we will make barbecued pork buns and soup-filled steamed buns instead."

Wu Dalang frowned when he heard that Xie Shi said that he would not make buns and steamed buns, and he was even more displeased when he said that he would change to pork buns and steamed buns filled with soup. Dao: "Will the students feel uncomfortable if you change the style of the court food rashly?"

Hearing this, Xie Shi glanced at him lightly, and said indifferently: "I think they adapted well yesterday."

Wu Dalang thought about the students' enthusiastic pursuit of Xie Shi's craftsmanship yesterday, and compared himself with no one caring about it, he felt a little aggrieved, so he said: "Chef Xie, steamed stuffed buns filled with soup are the food of Central Plains people. Wu has tasted them a few times before. But I’m not very good at it. As for the barbecued pork buns, Wu has never heard of them, and I don’t know where to start, so please let Chef Xie express.”

At this moment, Wu Da thinks that the new chef is deliberately embarrassing himself, in order to suppress himself to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys. After all, he is the most experienced chef in the cafeteria.

If Xie Shi knew what he was thinking, he would probably laugh out loud. He could only say that Wu Da was too much for himself. In fact, Xie Shi didn't have this idea at all. Soup buns are not a skill that every white case cook can master.

Hearing what he said, Xie Shi disapproved and said, "It's just some changes on the steamed buns. I'll demonstrate it and you can learn from it." He was about to start doing it, but Wu Da's eyes widened when he heard the words. The indistinct tension between the two disappeared in an instant, and Wu Dalang, one of the elders, stuttered at this moment: "You, you want to teach me?" Now even the title has become a respectful title, one can imagine his surprise.

Every chef has his own cooking skills and exclusive recipes for making a living. As a living skill, all famous cooks cherish their brooms and only pass on their skills and recipes to apprentices who have worshiped their masters.However, as the saying goes, the apprentices of the church starve to death of the master, and the famous chefs have reservations even if they teach the apprentices.

Therefore, when Xie Shi casually said that he would teach Wu Dalang two new pastries, one of which he had never heard of before, Wu Dalang's shock can be imagined.Xie Shi did not have the consciousness of teaching apprentices to starve to death of masters at all. First, the cafeteria had to feed hundreds of teachers and students. Blessed by the star's comprehensive information age, he has hundreds of thousands of gourmet recipes in the modern world, and he is not afraid of starving himself to death. These are the crystallization of the predecessors, and he never thought of taking them for himself.

Xie Shi was a native of Cantonese in modern times, so he was not familiar with one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Cantonese-style morning tea.Cut the half-fat and half-thin sandwich meat into small cubes, add soy sauce, sugar and other seasonings to make char siu stuffing, wrap the stuffing in the dough, knead it into a bird cage shape, sprinkle some water, and steam it in a steamer.

After steaming, the skin of the steamed stuffed bun is white, the inside is soft, and the top naturally blooms. The surface of the bun is smiling without revealing the fillings inside.

Just now Wu Bo said that the soup-filled steamed buns are the noodles of the Central Plains people. In fact, it is true. It is said that the small steamed buns were originally brought into the south of the Yangtze River by the Central Plains royal family who moved south after the shame of Jingkang. ".

Xie Shi’s steamed buns are actually a product of modern improvement. The minced pork leg meat is used for meat filling, and a little ginger, soy sauce and sugar are seasoned. "Soup" effect, you must add pork skin jelly.The steamed Xiaolongbao skin is thin and transparent, and it is better to see the soup and plump meat filling inside.

Wu Dalang's attitude at this meeting is much more respectful than before. When he saw Xie Xie, he really tried his best to teach, and he didn't hide any secrets. He felt more and more ashamed. Conquered by this tolerance at that time, the idea of ​​apprenticeship emerged from the bottom of my heart.

Xie Shi didn't care about what he was thinking. At this time, other helpers came to the back kitchen one after another. He told Wu Dalang to take his apprentices and subordinates to be in charge of today's pastry, and then picked a few more to observe yesterday. Honest and willing to work as a helper with no bad intentions, teaching them to make wontons with various fillings.

The helpers were originally handymen, and they didn't have the opportunity to be on the block at all. If they wanted to learn any cooking skills, they could only learn it secretly from the master chef.At this time, there is an opportunity to learn cooking in an open and honest manner, and everyone is naturally flattered, and they never thought that such a good thing would happen to them!

Everyone wanted to write down every word Xie Shi said, every movement of the hands, and as a cooking assistant, they also had some skills, so they quickly got started.

Xie Shi assigned the work one by one, and he was responsible for cooking the porridge. Similarly, he selected a few people who were more diligent and asked them to learn from the sidelines.Rice is the most important staple food for southerners, and they eat porridge every day, which refers to the people in the Lingnan area.There are different colors of porridge, depending on how you add ingredients, what you want to do at Xie Shi is casserole porridge that you can mix and match ingredients as you like.

The white porridge and rice grains need to be boiled until the grains are distinct and close to melting. At this time, other ingredients are seasoned and boiled until the taste is delicious, which is what Cantonese people call "cooking porridge".Xie Shi made three types of porridge today, namely seafood porridge, fish porridge, and vegetable and lean meat porridge. The movements were smooth and smooth, and the ingredients were not stagnant. In the snow-white mist, the fragrance came out.

While burning the fire, Wang Erhouzi stared at the chef's stove, saw that Xie's kid bought most people's hearts, and only forgot their "old line" of the former chef, he gritted his teeth, His eyes were worried and angry.Even Wu Dalang didn't know why he was lowered, but he actually obeyed Xie's orders, doing whatever he was asked to do, and even had a faint intention of flattering him!

He and Cai Da, who was squatting at the door, looked at each other, and the two secretly made a decision.
