20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 34

Early the next morning, Xiaohong ate breakfast and went to school. Xiaowei tidied up the house, soaked the clothes to be washed, and rode slowly to the Cultural Palace.

Today is the day of the chef class.

I don’t know why Xia Maosheng and the others didn’t come to Nanhu yesterday, and Xiaowei didn’t think too much about it. Anyway, the address is already mentioned, people can come when they want, and they don’t have to ask them to come if they don’t want to.

When you wake up in the morning, the world belongs to bicycles.

The empty streets were filled with bicycles in a blink of an eye.Men, women, old and young, dressed in various styles and colors of clothes, huddled together, walking slowly along the road, and the bells rang together.

Seeing the parking lots on the side of the road being filled with densely packed bicycles in a blink of an eye, the old men and women watching the cars sat contentedly on the small bench at the door, counted the ten-cent bills, took a sip of the tea they brought, and then Light a cigarette and live happily ever after.

When we arrived at the Cultural Palace, we deposited the car and paid the money, patted on our clothes, and walked towards the Cultural Palace.

The parking lot is across the road from the Cultural Palace, and there are three directions. Xiaowei searched deliberately, and found a wooden sign with red paint on it: special parking lot for mountain bike racing, fee: Sanmao.At this time, there are already some colorful bicycles parked inside, which are much more beautiful than ordinary cars.

On the second floor, the classrooms were almost full. As soon as Xiaowei entered, Xia Maosheng, who was sitting in the middle, raised his hands and shouted, "Zhang Wei, here. I have a seat for you."

Xiaowei walked over, sat down beside Xia Maosheng, greeted Li Guangzhao and Yang Tiebin who were sitting beside him, and asked Xia Maosheng, "Why didn't you go there yesterday?"

Xia Maosheng said: "I went to the park to play, and I forgot the time. I will go there someday. Let me tell you, the park is so big, we didn't finish it all day, there are many interesting things, one day we will go together go again."

Xiaowei nodded and looked around. There were about 80 to 20 people sitting in the classroom, most of them were in their teens and [-]s, and some were older, only five or six, and there were a few girls.

The classroom is big and there are many people. There is no microphone in class at this moment, and it is all relying on the teacher's fleshy voice, so sit in the front and listen clearly. At this time, the advantages of boarding students will be revealed. But what about them.

At 8:[-], Li Na and a few girls from the hotel came in with some cardboard boxes and put them on the podium. Li Na walked to the podium, knocked on the podium with a blackboard eraser and said, "Be quiet. Everyone sit down." .Now distribute books and notes, sit in the front and pass on later. The class starts today, and this week’s class is Teacher Lan. Teacher Lan is a college student. Famous chef, now serves as the sous chef of Lumingchun Hotel, and he himself is also the author of this textbook. Listen carefully. Anyone who chatters and jokes during class will be expelled. It’s not a joke. You don’t want to learn not to delay others. "

This little girl's personality is really good, and she is not stage fright, and she really shocked the place when she talked in front of 80 or [-] people.

Li Na said here, and the girls over there opened the cardboard boxes, took out books and notes, and put them on the table in the front row, and then everyone passed them on one by one.A book, a study note, the cover is blue, and there is no pattern, very simple.

This is printed out of the textbook compiled by the chef class.

After distributing the books, Li Na and a few girls went downstairs, and a middle-aged man with a touch of Mediterranean came to the podium.

He put the book in his hand on the podium, coughed, looked down the stage, and said: "My surname is Lan, and I am the teacher this week. I will mainly tell you the basic knowledge of chefs, including the knowledge of ingredients." , selection, processing methods, and the basic knowledge of knife skills. Don’t underestimate these basic knowledge. It’s useless to learn without foundation. I hope students will listen carefully and raise their hands to ask questions if they don’t understand. The money came, and the money was spent, right?"

He smiled and raised his hand to brush his hair from time to time.The hair in the middle of his head is almost gone, and the hair on the side is very long, combed sideways, covering the middle of his head.

"To learn to cook, you must first understand some common sense. Let's talk about cuisine first."

"The profession of chef originated in the Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. Students all know the Qingming Riverside Picture? Alas, that is the painting of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was a period of time when commerce was the most developed and the people were the most prosperous in our ancient Chinese history. How rich was the Southern Song Dynasty? ? No one is a soldier, and the common people have money in their hands, who will do that, right? Then the country will be wiped out."

The students below all laughed.

Teacher Lan raised his trouser waist with both hands, and said with a smile: "The country is rich, the people are rich, and they don't have force, just like there is a big white steamed bun on the street and no one is looking at it. Who doesn't want to take a bite, right? Okay. , let’s talk about chefs. Why do you say that chefs originated in the Song Dynasty? Because before the Song Dynasty, there was no cooking, they were all boiled, that is, stewed. What mess, wash it, chop it, throw it into the pot, put Add salt and eat it when it is cooked, can that be called a chef? But let’s see now, chefs before the Song Dynasty were really good at it, just know how to add salt.”

Everyone laughed again, and no one spoke. This teacher Lan didn't know how to cook, but he was really good at this lecture, and he quickly controlled the rhythm of the class.

"We Chinese, the Han people I'm talking about, at first lived by the Yellow River, which is now the part of Henan and Hebei. At that time, China was so big, so it was called the Central Plains. Later, the number of people increased, and the productivity developed. After that, it started to spread out, and gradually integrated people from other places, and the territory became larger. Like the Wu people on the banks of the Yangtze River, they are also Han people now, right? Traditional Chinese medicine is divided into three main treatments: traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and massage And conditioning methods, traditional Chinese medicine and massage are from the Yellow River side, which is the foundation of Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is from the Yangtze River side, which is the witch culture, including the original Zhu Rong technique in Chinese medicine. Wu culture, uploaded from the Yangtze River.”

"Then as the region expands and the number of people increases, the ingredients become more and more abundant, and the processing methods are also varied. And because of the influence of transportation, information transmission, and natural conditions at that time, regions with different tastes and processing methods gradually formed. The differences have been passed down to the present and have become several major cuisines. What is a cuisine? It is the representative of taste, processing methods and ingredients. China has eight major cuisines, seven flavors, and dozens of processing methods. This is how it evolved. of."

"The eight major cuisines are Lu, Chuan, Yue, Su, Zhejiang, Fujian, Xianghui. There is also a saying that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are integrated, and a palace cuisine should be added. These are the new eight cuisines."

Most of them just sat there and watched the teacher listen, and some students took out the notes they had just issued to write down. Xiaowei flipped through the book, looked at the students who were writing on the left and right, also took out a pen, opened the notebook, and wrote down the notes. What Teacher Lan said is a key point.
