Siheyuan: Starting from the blind date

Chapter 11 Upgrade to Level [-] Chef, Silly Pillar

Li Changming has already appeared, but he will not give Li Ye any special help, he is just a fair person.

Whether he can pass the examination depends on Li Ye's own ability.

There are two dishes of mapo tofu and stir-fried shredded potatoes. Li Ye makes mapo tofu first.

This dish takes a long time. If you make potato shreds first and then mapo tofu, the shredded potatoes will come out of the pan early, and it may be cold when it comes to the judging stage.

First of all, the ingredients needed for Mapo Tofu include soft tofu, bean paste, dried tempeh, green onions, ginger, garlic sprouts, etc.

There is no shortage of these materials. After all, this is the kitchen of a large factory. There is not much meat, but the ingredients are complete.

The only thing that makes Li Ye feel a little regretful is that there is no beef. The authentic mapo tofu has to use minced beef.

However, in this era of scarce supplies, we can't expect too much. It would be nice to replace beef with some pork.

The pork taels given were pitifully small. For several cooks, the amount of ten grams per person was purely for meaning.

Li Ye chopped the little lean meat into minced meat, prepared the starch paste for thickening, and soaked dried fermented soybeans.

The second step is to boil the pot on low heat, heat the pot, put the peppercorns in the pot and bake slowly, the aroma of peppercorns will be stimulated in a short while, filling the whole kitchen.

Experts will know if there is any.

He Yuzhu is the descendant of Tan family cuisine, and his Tan family cuisine should belong to the Sichuan gang, not the combination of Beijing cuisine and Cantonese cuisine.

Therefore, He Yuzhu has a relatively deep understanding of Sichuan cuisine, otherwise the dishes he cooks would not please the big boss, who is from Sichuan.

Mapo tofu is also one of He Yuzhu's specialty dishes. He knows how important pepper is to this dish of mapo tofu.

Ordinary people cook this dish, probably just use the peppercorns directly, how can they think of slow roasting on a low fire to fully stimulate the aroma of peppercorns?

But this doesn't mean anything, it doesn't prove that Li Ye has the strength of a chef.

Li Ye's father and uncle are both chefs, and they can learn some skills that laymen don't know by daily exposure.

He Yuzhu thought so, but Li Ye's next performance surprised him again.

Add salt to the tofu in a cold water pot to remove the beany smell first, stir-fry the lean meat with hot meat, add bean paste and other seasonings one by one, stir-fry, stir-fry, and thoroughly stir-fry.

Every detail is well thought out, and even he, the chef, can't find a single fault.

He Yuzhu even felt that Li Ye had a deeper understanding of the dish of Mapo Tofu than he did.

This kid really has something, He Yuzhu thought to himself, he recognized Li Ye's strength as a chef.

I saw Li Ye put in soy sauce, dark soy sauce, crushed Chinese prickly ash and other seasonings in turn. When thickening, add the starch paste in three times, and push the tofu with the back of a shovel.

Finally, a mapo tofu with a complete color, fragrance and flavor came out of the pan, and Li Ye finally sprinkled the last bit of green pepper and Chinese prickly ash on the surface of the mapo tofu.

Then, Li Ye started to make the second dish without stopping, stir-fried shredded potatoes.

Stir-fried shredded potatoes seem simple, and everyone can do it, but it is very difficult to do it well.

Because the potato shreds made by ordinary people can only be said to be fried potato shreds, which is a long way from the master.

Li Ye showed off his knives when cutting the shredded potatoes. The shape and size of each shredded potato were basically the same.

The potato shreds fried in this way have a unique fragrance of potatoes, and the original aroma of potatoes will not be taken away by green peppers.

The shredded potatoes came out of the pan, and Li Ye's two dishes were finished.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu already realized that something was wrong.

It's over, does he really have to call Li Ye grandpa today?Is he a dignified quadrangle courtyard god of war who doesn't want to lose face?
Li Ye's two dishes were served in front of the judges. Li Changming picked up a piece of mapo tofu and put it in his mouth. The taste was spicy, fresh and hot, and the powerful taste quickly conquered his taste buds.

Li Changming gave Li Ye an approving look. The mapo tofu was beautifully made. Compared with Li Jianye's craftsmanship, it was even better, and he wanted a bowl of rice to go with it.

The son of an old subordinate, he is clever, capable, and able to handle affairs. This is a talent!
Li Changming suddenly gave birth to a heart of love for talents.

Li Changming added some stir-fried shredded potatoes, which were delicious, sweet and impeccable.

What an interesting kid.

"Li Ye's cooking skills are not inferior to those of the two Chefs Li back then. His skills can even be used by the leaders. What do you think?"

Li Changming looked at the canteen director, the canteen monitor and the factory secretary.

First of all, Li Ye's cooking is really amazing, an absolute master's level, they can't say no to it against their conscience.

Secondly, Li Changming spoke highly of it. It was obvious that Li Ye's food was very suitable for him, and he wanted to be promoted. Everyone is smart, and he knows everything.

"After all, he is the son of Chef Li, so he must not be picky about his cooking skills.

In fact, Chef Li passed away three years ago, and Li Ye could take over Chef Li's class.

At that time, he was still young, only 16 years old, and he could only start as an apprentice.

Now that three years have passed, Li Ye's culinary skills are not inferior to Chef Li's. Li Ye has to be promoted to a chef because of reason, right? "

The director of the cafeteria said with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, capable people cannot be buried. Li Ye's skills alone are enough to pass today's assessment. There is no problem in being promoted to chef."

The factory secretary also said.

The canteen monitor has the same meaning as them.

He Yuzhu panicked. He tried Li Ye's mapo tofu and stir-fried shredded potatoes, but he still couldn't find fault with it.

If you have to pick a fault, it is that the mapo tofu is not authentic enough and beef is useless.

This is not a problem!Because there is no beef in the ingredients provided, is it reasonable for you to blame the chef?It doesn't make sense.

He Yuzhu fell silent.

He thought that Li Ye would not be very good at cooking at such a young age. He could criticize and influence the opinions of other judges, but he made a mistake.

"Okay, since everyone thinks so, and feels that talents cannot be buried, then Li Ye will be promoted to the eighth-level chef.

Since he is capable enough, he should be allowed to take Chef Li's class and get a salary of 35th grade, [-] yuan a month. Do you have any opinions? "

Li Changming said again.

The eighth-level chef is on the same level as He Yuzhu, and the salary is the same, 35 yuan.

He Yuzhu can get 37 yuan, of which 35 yuan is a subsidy, and the subsidy is removed to [-] yuan.

Several leaders in charge of rating and assessment expressed no objection, and the matter was settled.

He originally took over from his father's shift to work in the cafeteria three years ago. At that time, he was young and not capable enough, so he was an apprentice for the time being. Now that he has the ability, it is normal to officially take over from his father's shift.

Xu Damao, who was watching the play, couldn't help giving Li Ye a high look. He had to cook a few dishes later to have a relationship with Li Ye. This is a talent that can be wooed.

As for He Yuzhu, he seemed to have thought of something and planned to sneak away quietly.

How could Xu Damao let him go, and yelled loudly: "Silly Zhu, don't run away, you are a grandson if you run away."

run?The fun has just begun!
