I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 121 Chefs Who Can Turn Pots Are Handsome

"Master Ecai?"

Jiang Yu was speechless. The old man looked a little different, but he really didn't expect him to be a hidden boss. If Lu Shuwu didn't know him, who would have thought that such a person would want to enter his small cafeteria?

Even if it's a novel, it doesn't dare to make it up like this!

He turned his head and glanced into the side dish room, then turned back and asked, "Is he at the same level as your grandfather? How do you know him?"

"Although E cuisine is not one of the eight major cuisines, it is indeed at the same level as my grandfather."

Lu Shuwu nodded and said with a soft smile,

"I am such a small person, how can I know him? I only met him once last year when I went to a celebrity chef party with my grandfather. Of course, he definitely doesn't know me.

What I'm curious about is, how did he come to us? "

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

Jiang Yu glanced at him and said lightly,
"He came to look for me by himself. I think he means that he seems to be planning to come into our cafeteria to help..."

"Into our cafeteria?"

Lu Shuwu's eyes widened all of a sudden, and then he was full of surprises, and said repeatedly,
"Promise him, promise him! Be sure to keep him, even if he doesn't have to do the cooking himself, with such a big man sitting in the kitchen, a few words from him will be enough for the few of us to use for a lifetime!"

"..."

Seeing his excited face and bright eyes, Jiang Yu was a little speechless.

Do you think you are as good as that?

Just because this old Jia might give you some pointers, you are so excited?

Your grandfather may have a bigger coffee position than him, but when he said he wanted to teach you how to cook, you were so reluctant!
What are you doing?
When you are old, you still play rebellion here?

Shaking his head, Jiang Yu ignored the "youth rebel" Lu Shuwu and returned to the side dish room.

Jia Dequan has picked out seven or eight fist-sized potatoes. Seeing Jiang Yu come in, he said with a smile while cleaning the mud from the potatoes by the pool:

"I won't make such a complicated dish today, I'll just make a kang potato for everyone to try."

"Okay, Lao Jia, you can do whatever you want."

After knowing Jia Dequan's identity, Jiang Yu didn't treat him too specially. Anyway, Lao Jia didn't reveal his identity, so he just pretended not to know, and it was easier to get along like this.

He turned his head and looked outside the door, and seeing Lu Shuwu still poking his head there, he waved to him and shouted,
"Brother Wu, this is Lao Jia. He will make kang potatoes for everyone to try later. Take him to the operating room later."

Kang potatoes are a special delicacy in Jingchu Shizhou.Kang, a dialect in the western region of Jingchu, refers to a cooking method between frying and deep-frying with a small amount of edible oil.

Kang potatoes are not greasy in the mouth, but they have a charred outside and tender inside. They are also seasoned with chili and cumin, which makes people never get tired of eating them.

"Oh, yes, yes!"

When Lu Shuwu heard this, he hurried over and said enthusiastically,

"Grandpa Jia, my name is Lu Shuwu. If you need anything, you can call me. I know everything in this cafeteria. By the way, you can just call me Xiaowu!"

"Oh, Xiao Wu, I see."

Jia Dequan looked back at him, smiled and said,
"You can also call me Lao Jia. If you call me Grandpa Jia, you can call me old."

Hey, this old man is still not convinced.

"..."

Lu Shuwu accidentally slapped the horse's leg while flattering, he scratched his head, and then said with a smile,
"Uh, well then, old Jia!"

After washing the potatoes, Jia Dequan packed them again, and then turned around and asked Lu Shuwu:

"Xiao Wu, take me to the operating room, I have to cook the potatoes first."

"Okay, you come with me."

Lu Shuwu nodded, and led him to the kitchen operating room.

Jiang Yu still stayed in the side dish room and didn't follow. He still had other things to do.

After Jia Dequan left, he brought a large clean stainless steel basin, poured a few large bowls of sweet potato flour into it, then cracked in eggs, stirred roughly evenly, covered it with plastic wrap and let it stand for a while before continuing to stir.

This step is repeated until the sweet potato flour fully absorbs the egg liquid and no small lumps appear.

When I looked at it again at this time, the prepared batter was very thick, and it could be dripped smoothly when scooped up with a spoon, but the lines formed by the dripping would not disappear immediately. This state is the most suitable for hanging the batter, which will completely and evenly spread the ingredients Wrapped, it will not fall apart easily after being put into the oil pan.

After the batter is prepared, Jiang Yu adds an appropriate amount of refined salt and peppercorns to it and mixes well. Then, he can pour in the marinated meat slices and stir until the meat slices are covered with a thick layer of paste.

At this point, the paste and sizing of the small crispy meat is successfully completed.

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out with the big pot of battered meat slices, ready to start frying the crispy meat.

As soon as he walked out of the side dish room, a strong fresh, spicy and salty smell came straight into his nose, making his nasal cavity itchy, and he almost sneezed loudly.

Jiang Yu hurriedly raised his hand and rubbed his nose, looked forward, and saw Jia Dequan holding the ear of the small pot with a towel in one hand, and a small frying spoon in the other, waving the spoon while tossing the pot.

The oily red potato pieces kept rising and falling over the small frying pan, falling and rising again, as if they were dancing.

And Jia Dequan is like a master behind the scenes, no matter how those potato cubes, peppers, garlic and other seasonings dance, they can't escape his palm.

Although the old man is getting older, the strength on his wrist has not diminished in the slightest, and the whole movement of turning the pot is smooth and silky, just like juggling.

Looking at this scene by others, it is really pleasing to the eye and breathtaking.

No wonder some people say that chefs who can stir pots are very handsome!

He was indeed handsome, not only Jiang Yu was stunned, but even Lu Shuwu, Ma Guoqiang, and He Chunxiao were stunned!
After shaking the pot for a while, Jia Dequan took a little MSG with a spoon, grabbed some scallions and threw them into the pot. After stirring a few more times, he went straight out of the pot and put it on a plate.

After the Kang potatoes were ready to be plated, Jia Dequan saw Jiang Yu standing behind everyone, couldn't help but smiled and said:
"Boss Xiaojiang, come here, how about coming to taste my cooking?"

"it is good."

Jiang Yu smiled and nodded, stepped forward, picked up a piece of potato with chopsticks, put it to his mouth, took a bite, and began to chew slowly.

This potato is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, soft and delicious. After frying, the aroma of the potato itself is fully stimulated, mixed with the spicy and stimulating aroma of chili, and the strong aroma of cumin, which makes people salivate. can not stop.

After eating a piece of potato, Jiang Yu couldn't help picking another piece into his mouth, nodded and praised:
"It's delicious! Old Jia is so skilled, this kang potato is perfect!"

"Hey, so-so, this is just Jingchu's street food, not worth mentioning!"

Jia Dequan waved his hand and said modestly,

"If the ingredients are enough, someday I will make a big dish for you to taste, it will be really delicious!"

As he spoke, he waved again to the other people who stood aside and watched Kang Potato drooling,

"Everyone, you are welcome, come and taste it!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I couldn't wait for Lu Shuwu, Ma Guoqiang and others to rush forward. Five or six pairs of chopsticks fell from the sky like a rain of arrows, pointing directly at the kang potatoes on the plate:

"Don't grab it, don't grab it! There are so many, everyone has a share!"

"Hey, don't hold my chopsticks, I can't hold them anymore!"

"Damn it! You're insidious, you even use a bowl to hold it!"

"..."

In order to grab food, a group of people pushed each other, pulled and pulled, and almost used eighteen martial arts skills. A small plate of kang potatoes was snatched up in the blink of an eye, and all of them showed unsatisfactory expressions on their faces.

"Oh, this kang potato is really delicious, it's fragrant and spicy, and the taste is endless!"

"When I was traveling in Jiangxia before, I once ate kang potatoes. Of course, I thought it was too delicious. I didn't expect the old master Jia to make it even more delicious!"

"I can only make potato chips and shredded potatoes. This is the first time I have seen this method. It is so delicious!"

"..."

Seeing that everyone kept praising himself, Jia Dequan was of course also very happy. He turned to look at Jiang Yu and asked:
"Boss Xiaojiang, what about the thing I mentioned earlier?"

"Old Jia, of course you have nothing to say about your cooking skills, but the cafeteria is not a restaurant, and the work here is much more tiring."

Seeing that Jia Dequan wanted to work in the cafeteria, Jiang Yu thought about it and said,

"Besides, our cafeteria is relatively small. Now counting me, there are two red case masters, Lu Shuwu and Qian Liwei, and the chef configuration is still sufficient.

You can stay if you want, but you can see if this works. Usually, when everyone is full of work, you don’t have to start cooking. Your cooking skills are so good. Stand by and give us some pointers. The benefits are endless.

If any of the masters needs to ask for leave someday due to emergency, then I will have to work hard for you to help me out. "

Jia Dequan looked surprised, and asked: "You mean, I don't have to do anything, just walk around in the kitchen and give you instructions on cooking from time to time?"

"Correct."

"Then I can come every day, and I can eat all the food you cook, and still be full?"

"of course!"

"I'm not going to pay for my food!"

"No need!"

"If there is such a good thing, a fool would not agree to it!"

After Jia Dequan confirmed it was correct, he smiled so much that his back molars were exposed, and he said,

"Then let's make a deal like this, you are not allowed to go back on your word, everyone will help you to testify!"

"No regrets, no regrets."

Jiang Yu also laughed. If he runs a cafeteria, is he still afraid of people eating?
After thinking for a while, he said, "Old Jia, as for your salary here..."

"no, I'm fine!"

Before Jiang Yu finished speaking, Jia Dequan waved his hands again and again,

"I don't have to work, and I can eat and drink for free. With such good conditions, what bicycle do I need?"
