Early the next morning, Shi Chengyan, who had already modified his biological clock, managed to keep up with the rhythm of the old man's life, and got up on time at four o'clock before dawn.
Xue Zhen is still sleeping, he is today's chef, and he is in charge of the whole process.The pressure is all on him, and the job of getting up early to buy vegetables with Shi Qingya should have nothing to do with him anymore.
Waking up early is not difficult for Shi Chengyan to get used to. He usually does not play games, and he usually got up very early when he played some small roles in the crew, because there are too many small roles, and it takes a lot of time to do styling. However, the stylists arranged by most of the production crews came in a hurry, and it would be too late if they didn't get up early.
Compared with the days when I got up early and put on makeup, I might not be able to act in a play. Now this kind of life that wakes up early but has something to do and a goal is more fulfilling.
"While I'm picking vegetables later, you just watch from the sidelines. Don't be distracted. I brought you here not just to find someone to help me carry things." Although he knew that the little grandson was a serious learner, Shi Qingya Still told me again.
Shi Chengyan didn't feel annoyed, and still nodded in earnest.
There are a total of eight tables of guests in the lunch and dinner markets today, and they ordered on WeChat yesterday, so they need to buy all the ingredients for the eight tables this morning.
These eight tables of guests ordered a lot of dishes. On average, each table ordered more than a dozen dishes. The amount of nearly one hundred dishes required an accurate estimate of the amount of ingredients before purchasing.
For Shi Qingya, this is just a matter of thought, what dish needs multiple raw materials, has long been firmly in mind in the purchase of year after year, day after day, and there is no need to deliberately to calculate.
Shi Chengyan can't do this yet, but he has a quick brain and quick mental calculations, and he can still barely keep up with the old man's rhythm.
After the vegetables are bought, they are put away in different categories. The vegetables should not be exposed to any water before pretreatment. The fish are raised with a special water pump, which needs to be guaranteed to be fresh for a whole day, and then Shi Chengyan can rest for a while. He can do whatever he wants before ten o'clock, anyway, at ten o'clock he will put on his chef's uniform and show up in the kitchen to cut vegetables.
Calculating that there were still three hours left, Shi Chengyan resolutely went out for an hour of running.
No matter what time it was, he never gave up on exercising, otherwise he would have been ruined by the lifestyle of turning day and night upside down in the entertainment industry and missing meals if he disagreed.
Of course, his stomach isn't much better now.
The daily exercise he used to do now was almost prescient, and a chef needs a lot of effort.
Don't look at him because of his height, he looks thin when he puts on the clothes, but the eight-pack abdominal muscles and well-developed arm muscles are no joke after taking off the clothes, at least you don't have to worry about not being able to handle the pot right now.
In the morning, it looked like there were still two hours to rest, but Shi Chengyan was not idle.
Although no guests ordered his plum cakes yesterday, Shi Qingya also discussed with him and asked him to send a plate of plum cakes to each table.
The mold Shi Chengyan bought is the kind with twelve pastries per plate. The dim sum that Shi Chengyan uses the original recipe and is still called "Lanyuan Plum Blossom Cake" is six in one plate at Chengluju, so there are four tables of guests at noon. It is enough to prepare two boards.
Chengluju itself is not a restaurant that takes the route of large quantities.
At around nine o'clock, Shi Chengyan appeared in the kitchen. Not only did he check in advance whether the ingredients he had prepared were normal, but he also followed Xue Zhen who was stewing "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall" to steal a teacher in advance.
Naturally, Xue Zhen didn't care about him. Although the old man always said that he would not be allowed to go to the stove if he was not good at knife skills, who didn't quietly learn experience in the kitchen.
Even Shi Qingya turned a blind eye. In a sense, he is considered an apprentice, and there is no such thing as stealing a teacher. It is too late for the apprentice to be willing to go in and learn something. As for the knife worker who is satisfied The idea of only being allowed to go to the stove is naturally also to encourage apprentices to study basic skills seriously.
As for Shi Chengyan, he is even less worried. He had a good foundation when he was a child. At that time, his knife skills had already reached the basic standard in Shi Qingya's heart, and now he just picked it up again.
The dishes they ate at home in the past few days were all cut by Shi Chengyan. Usually at this time, the one on the left was Shi Qingya, who was already a master, and the one on the right was Xue Zhen, who was unexpectedly a senior chef. Under the top-level configuration, Shi Chengyan's knife has problems with the angle and strength, and he will be discovered before he cuts.
Under this kind of pressure, Shi Chengyan naturally improved rapidly. No, his knife skills are only nine proficiency levels away from the intermediate level.
"Brother Yan." Xue Zhen suddenly leaned over to talk to him, and even called him a respectful title like never before.
Shi Chengyan suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and his first reaction was that there was a conspiracy. How could Xue Zhen call him that way? Two days ago, because Xue Zhen deliberately called him junior, they "chased" him in the yard for a few laps. Someone caught it and repaired it.
Could it be that the repairs had an effect and made people behave?
It shouldn't be, Xue Zhen is not such a smart person who knows the current affairs.
"If you have something to say, don't be like this, I'm afraid." Shi Chengyan took three steps back quickly.
It was rare for Xue Zhen to face Shi Chengyan with a less sinister smile on his face, and even wanted to hook shoulders with Shi Chengyan, but Shi Chengyan resolutely avoided it.
He was not annoyed, and continued, "How many ingredients for plum cake did you prepare last night?"
Well, now the truth is revealed, it turned out that he was greedy for plum cakes!
Xue Zhen himself is a person who likes to eat and can eat, otherwise how could he stay in Chengluju and not leave when he didn't learn from Qing Ya as his teacher?
After eating those two pieces of plum cake yesterday, Xue Zhen wanted to eat two more, but Shi Chengyan had already given it to the front office staff who came to work a day earlier and cleaned up by the way. Did not take it back.
It is precisely because everyone's feedback is very good, even the old man who is always snarky really praised him a few words, not the kind of compliment that you don't get scolded, but a real compliment.
That's why Shi Chengyan is very confident in his pastries, and prepared twice as many raw materials yesterday.
Even if there is no customer to add an order, there is no problem at all if you make it and keep it for yourself. Even Xue Zhen came to ask him if he made a reservation if he didn't see it.
And the amount of one portion is not too much, he can finish it casually by himself.
"If it's not sold out, I'll leave one for you."
"Okay, next time I'll cook Buddha Jumping Over the Wall for you."
After a little private py transaction, Xue Zhen hummed a song and went about her own business.
Shi Qingya was also in the kitchen, taking a panoramic view of what happened just now, and didn't care about it.
He also saw that Xue Zhen called Shi Chengyan to be chased and beaten before, so he didn't care.
It's not that they deliberately want to see what they fight, the main reason is that Shi Qingya himself doesn't know how to talk about it.
And from the time they met, the two children didn't get along very well. At that time, he thought that the two of them didn't have much contact with each other, so he didn't care, but he didn't expect to have business affairs under the same roof like today. situation.
He didn't understand the reason immediately at the beginning, and now he doesn't know how to mediate it, and he is not good at these things.
Fortunately, these two children are both adults. On the surface, they don't seem to get along, but they don't have any deep hatred. They usually know the priorities and don't mess around.
Shi Qingya thought about it, it's okay to be able to do this, and there's no need to play together if the characters don't match.
What's more, their fights now seem to be more understanding than his usually good-tempered and talkative second apprentice.
At about [-]:[-], guests rushed over one after another, and the pace of meals in the kitchen was getting faster and faster.
Because the dishes were ordered last night, the time-consuming and labor-intensive dishes have been stewed in advance. Basically, when the guests come, they can be served directly after a short wait.
At this time, Xue Zhen will start to prepare the stir-fried dishes with all his strength. Shi Qingya will watch the fire and season the other dishes prepared before, and Shi Chengyan will be on the side all the time.
After serving the dishes for the first table guests, Shi Chengyan realized that there seemed to be a long series of prompts from the system just now.
It turned out that his knife skills had also risen to the intermediate level, his comprehensive level had also reached the level of an intermediate chef, and the first main task was successfully completed.
But now he has no time to take care of these things, he still has to serve the freshly steamed plum cake.
As the first food he made for customers in Chengluju, Shi Chengyan gave a very rare sense of ritual and brought it to the customers himself.
The guests at the first table were five adults and a little boy over four years old. Seeing Shi Chengyan coming over with a plate of plum cakes, he looked at him curiously.
Shi Chengyan naturally wouldn't think it was offensive, as someone who was a celebrity in his last job, he would not be afraid of being seen by others, and the other party was most curious that he hadn't seen him in Chengluju before.
Little do they know that Shi Chengyan is definitely underestimating himself, others only look at him because he is good-looking!
You know, even in the entertainment industry where handsome men and beautiful women gather, Shi Chengyan's appearance is also at the top of the pyramid.
But he didn't feel this way himself, even if it was said by his agent, his former assistants, or the makeup artists of the major production crews, he also felt that others were being polite to him, otherwise why would he not have fans.
"Are you Cheng Luju's new chef? What are you holding?" A girl who looked less than thirty years old asked proactively.
At this time, the waiter also brought a pot of brewed chrysanthemum tea and a pot of water.
Shi Chengyan put down the plum blossom cake and said: "This is a new product in our shop, it's called Lanyuan plum blossom cake, bring it here for everyone to have a taste."
"Eat pastries before meals, this is the first time I've heard of it." The girl laughed, but she didn't seem to be malicious.
The kid was not polite at all, looking at this white and soft, stunning little snack, he picked it up and took a bite.
Shi Chengyan looked over immediately, a little worried that the children would not be used to it, after all, the sweetness is not that high, it is relatively sour.
"Mom, this is delicious!"
Xue Zhen is still sleeping, he is today's chef, and he is in charge of the whole process.The pressure is all on him, and the job of getting up early to buy vegetables with Shi Qingya should have nothing to do with him anymore.
