I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Dining room number seven, in the kitchen.

The whole morning seems to be a long time, but when you are really busy, you can't actually do too much.

Just like Du Guangning, he felt that he had only cooked four or five cold dishes, and the guests who had booked a box at noon had already arrived. In desperation, he could only temporarily stop studying and talk to Pei Guofu instead. Waiting for the others to get busy with preparing dishes.

Progress is addictive.

Especially when Du Guangning mastered one more cooking skill in the process of making a cold dish, the sudden surprise was like buying a bottle of drink, only to find the words "one more bottle" printed on the bottle cap, It's hilarious.

And every time after finishing a cold dish, when he personally tasted that the cold dish made by himself can be so delicious, that kind of great satisfaction and achievement rushed over like ocean waves, wrapping him tightly in an instant.

This unprecedented feeling made Du Guangning very excited. Even though he had been busy all morning, he didn't feel tired at all, and he was full of energy to do things.

After lunch was over, and everyone had eaten lunch, Jiang Yu was planning to go to the box on the first floor to rest for a while as usual, but Du Guangning came over and said expectantly:

"Boss, just now everyone is done with work, how about I continue to learn how to cook cold dishes?"

"..."

Jiang Yu turned his head and glanced at him in surprise, are you a little too aggressive?
It's been busy for a long time, are you still a strong man, not tired at all?

Besides, you are not tired, I am still tired!

After thinking about it, he said to Du Guangning,
"You've been busy all morning, why don't you take a rest first, it's still early for dinner, if we cook the cold dishes too early, the taste will change when the guests come."

"Oh fine."

Hearing what the boss said, although Du Guangning was a little disappointed, he could only accept it. After thinking about it, he asked again,
"So, shall we start in an hour?"

"Okay, let's start in an hour."

Du Guangning's enthusiasm for learning cooking made Jiang Yu feel a little ashamed, but he didn't think the way of learning art by swallowing dates was a good choice.

Whether it is learning knowledge or learning skills, it is best to proceed step by step. You must leave some time to consolidate memory and strengthen practice.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help reminding,
"Taking advantage of the rest period, think back on how to make the few cold dishes I taught you in the morning. Don't learn too much, and you won't be able to make it yourself next time because you have learned too much."

"Well, boss, don't worry, it won't happen."

Du Guangning nodded quickly, and after watching Jiang Yu go downstairs, he also prepared to find a place to rest.

To be honest, he is actually quite tired after working all morning, and he is not a real iron man, and the iron man needs to be lubricated after working for a long time.

But before Du Guangning told Jiang Yu to continue making cold dishes, it was not a lie. Although he was very tired, he wanted to learn to cook more dishes.

After all, only what you learn is your own!

An hour later, Jiang Yu returned to the second floor of the Seventh Canteen on time, and he saw Du Guangning already busy in the kitchen from a long distance away.

Seeing Jiang Yu coming, he quickly stopped what he was doing, and said with a smile:

"Boss, I've already prepared all the main ingredients for the cold dish that I'm going to make this afternoon."

"Ah."

Jiang Yu nodded, with a very calm expression on his face.

He is different from other chefs in the kitchen. Other chefs will worry that the chefs under him will steal their jobs and positions if they surpass themselves in cooking.

But Jiang Yu didn't have to worry about these things at all.

Not to mention that he is not only the chef of the kitchen, but also the owner of the No. [-] dining room. No matter who comes, he can't shake his position. In terms of cooking alone, he doesn't think there are many people who can surpass him. .

Besides, people who can cook even better dishes than him don't look down on this small restaurant in the student cafeteria.

In Jiang Yu's view, it was a good thing for Du Guangning to be so diligent and active in learning how to cook.

Only when Du Guangning improves his cooking skills can he share some pressure for himself, and he will have the time and opportunity to do things that he wants to do but has no time to do.

Turning his head to look at Du Guangning, Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile, and asked,
"Some of the cold dishes to be prepared in the afternoon should be the same as those at noon, right?"

"Yes, white meat with garlic paste, shredded tripe in ginger sauce, chicken nuggets with salt and pepper, pickled cucumber... There are several cold dishes that are the same as those made at noon."

Du Guangning didn't even have to look back at the menu posted on the wall, he said it without thinking. It can be seen that he has already memorized these menus in his heart, and he will never forget them at all.

"Well, let's ignore the dishes we have cooked for noon, and I will teach you how to cook them first."

Jiang Yu nodded, turned to look at the menu on the wall, and then said to Du Guangning,
"As for the dishes, I'll leave it to you when it's almost time for dinner, and I have to cook at that time, so I don't have time to keep an eye on these things.

Anyway, you have cooked all these dishes at noon, so there should be no problem, right? "

Du Guangning nodded confidently and said, "Boss, don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine!"

"Alright then, let's make this crystal hoof flower first."

Jiang Yu nodded, pointed at the pig's trotters and chicken feet placed on the console, and explained,
"I don't need to elaborate on how to make hoof flower jelly, you must have done it too, but how to make hoof flower jelly so that it doesn't smell fishy is very important.

Next, I say you do it, but you can't just do it like a puppet, you have to think while doing it, why do you do this, why don't you do that?

You just have to think more, and when you cook more dishes in the future, even if you have never cooked a dish before, you will naturally know how to do it. "

"Well, okay, I see."

Du Guangning nodded. Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't say anything else, he turned around and picked up a kitchen knife, cut the pig's trotter in half, put it into the pot, added cold water, and then added sliced ​​ginger, scallion and cooking wine that had been prepared. , Then cover the pot and turn on the fire to cook.

One of the two sat on the edge and chatted a few words from time to time, and the other picked up a kitchen knife in the kitchen and "tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk" cut the vegetables, and sometimes turned back to the stove to cook the food, very busy. It's fun.

Looking at this scene from a distance, it seems somewhat weird, but after a few more glances, it feels inexplicably harmonious.

Time flies quickly when you are busy, and it was four o'clock in a blink of an eye. Pei Guofu and two young apprentices also came, and it was very close to dinner time. They had to prepare the dishes in advance to avoid getting lost Time is hectic.

Seeing that Du Guangning had prepared several cold dishes, Pei Guofu and the others were not surprised, they just stared at those tempting dishes with some reluctance, and then quickly turned their heads to do other things.

When they came in the morning, they already knew that Du Guangning was learning how to cook from the boss, and each of them had a good time, tasting all the cold dishes Du Guangning had prepared in advance.

When they first tasted the dishes made by Du Guangning, not only Pei Guofu, but even the two young apprentices were stunned.

They had tasted the dishes made by Du Guangning before, not to mention comparing them with the boss's cooking, even compared with the master chefs in those big restaurants, there was a gap.

But now under the guidance of the boss, the cold dishes made by Du Guangning are actually so delicious, which is really surprising.

Of course, there must be some differences between the dishes he cooks and the ones made by the boss himself, but compared with his original dishes, they are not at the same level.

For a while, both Pei Guofu and the two apprentices were envious of Du Guangning.

It's not that I envy him that he can cook such delicious cold dishes, but that he can learn how to cook from the boss. This is like a pheasant flying on a branch and turning into a phoenix.

Just imagine, as long as you can learn how to cook with your boss, do you still have to worry about not making money in the future?
Do you still have to worry about not having a good life?

It's a pity that only Du Guangning can encounter such a good thing, and they don't have this chance.

Whether it's Pei Guofu or the two young apprentices, they all know that even if they want to learn cooking from the boss, they don't have the culinary foundation that Du Guangning has...

Therefore, opportunities are not only reserved for those who are prepared, you also have to be able to grasp the opportunity!
When Pei Guofu and others were feeling emotional in their hearts, Jiang Yu naturally didn't know it. Seeing that the time was almost up, he stood up from the chair beside him and said to Du Guangning:

"When you finish cooking the Pleurotus eryngii in your hand, you can start making those cold dishes you made at noon. When you finish those dishes, the guests should arrive."

"Okay, boss, don't worry, there will be no delay."

While busy with the work in hand, Du Guangning nodded, feeling quite excited.

This day is a bit tiring, and he is really busy, but he has learned how to make seven or eight cold dishes. Such a comparison is simply too worthwhile!

Jiang Yu was not as excited as he was. After getting up, he went to the sink to wash his hands, and was ready to start working.

He had just wiped his hands clean, and before he had time to pick up the kitchen knife, the phone in his pocket rang.

Jiang Yu's hands paused, and he couldn't help wrinkling slightly. After staying for a while, he still turned around, and while walking out of the kitchen, he reached out his hand to take a look at his phone from his pocket.

This call is from Liu Xining.

Jiang Yu couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Speaking of which, since Liu Xining got gastroenteritis last time, he hasn't contacted him for several days. Think of her and Pan Jingchen.

I don't know how they are doing these days, is Liu Xining's gastroenteritis healed?

Thinking of this, the mobile phone in his hand rang again, and he was awakened in an instant, and quickly reached out to connect the phone:

"Hello! Sister?"

"Xiao Jiang, are you already busy? I'm sorry, I didn't want to disturb you, but I might have to go back to Shanghai, so I wanted to tell you..."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Xining's soft and pleasant voice came, but there was a hint of apology in his tone, probably because he felt sorry for disturbing Jiang Yu.

"Ah? What happened, why so suddenly?"

Jiang Yu didn't think there was anything wrong, but was curious why she chose to go back at this time.

"In the afternoon, my agent called me and said that there was an urgent matter at the company and I needed to go back to deal with it myself, so I had to go back."

After a brief explanation, Liu Xining said,
"However, although Chenchen has improved now, it's still not complete, and she seems to be a little addicted to the food you cook, and she can't eat anything made by other people.

Therefore, she still has to stay here for a while, and then slowly let her get used to the food made by other people.

The company's affairs may be a little troublesome, and I don't know how long it will be before I come back, so after I leave, I have to trouble Xiaojiang, if you have time, help me take care of Chenchen..."

"If you say it's troublesome or not, senior sister, don't worry. Even if I don't have time for what you ordered, I still have to find time to take a look at it occasionally."

Jiang Yu thought for a while, and then asked, "By the way, when are you leaving, Senior Sister?"

Liu Xining said: "I'm waiting for my assistant to buy a plane ticket. If I can buy a plane ticket for tonight, I'll leave tonight."

"Well, then let her buy a ticket for a later time. It's almost five o'clock now, so you can't catch the plane hungry."

Jiang Yu paused, then said with a smile,

"Senior Sister, is your gastroenteritis cured? If it is cured, I will cook you some dishes from our Jiangzhou in a while. You have been here for so long, and I haven't even cooked home flavors for you yet!"

"Xiao Jiang, you..."

Liu Xining couldn't laugh or cry at once, this little junior brother is really good at getting people's mentality, knowing that he is in a hurry to go back, he even tempted himself with the dishes from his hometown.

But I really can't stand the temptation!

She breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"My stomach doesn't hurt a long time ago. Since you want me to taste my hometown food, I'm not going to be polite."

After a pause, she said again, "I want to eat Three Cups of Chicken, Gannan Fried Fish, and Stir-Fried Dongpo with Pickled Cabbage!"

Jiang Yu smiled: "Just these three dishes?"

"Three dishes are enough. If you can't finish eating too much, it will be a waste."

Liu Xining paused, sighed, and said quietly,

"I am now a 'people in a foreign land, stomach in my hometown', there are so many local dishes I want to eat, how can I eat all of them?

It is enough to have these three dishes to relieve my nostalgia a little bit. "

"Senior sister, don't be so sentimental. It's not like before. You want to eat the taste of your hometown. It's not like there are no Jiangzhou restaurants in Shanghai."

Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing after hearing what she said, he said,
"Okay, then I'm going to prepare the dishes now, you and Sister Chen, come here quickly, if there is anything else, we can talk about it after we meet."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu couldn't help but shook his head and burst out laughing, saying, "You are in a foreign land, but your stomach is in your hometown." Is this trying to create an image of Lin Daiyu for himself?
If Liu Xining hadn't seen her acting like a baby when he helped cook for her when he was suffering from gastroenteritis before, he would really have believed in her!
Hmph, most people in the entertainment industry have two faces, Liu Xining is, Xie Siqi is, maybe, Pan Jingchen is too!
After putting away the phone again, Jiang Yu stopped thinking about these things, turned around and went into the kitchen again, and started to get busy.

Since Liu Xining had to go back to Shanghai in the evening, he naturally had to cook the dishes for Liu Xining's table first, so that they could eat quickly and go to the airport to catch the plane.

Among the three dishes Liu Xining ordered, he had cooked Gannan small fried fish several times before, so it would not be troublesome to do it again, but it was the first time for him to cook three cups of chicken and sauerkraut fried Dongpo.

Three cup chicken is one of the ten classic dishes in Zhangjiang. It is not only a famous traditional dish in southern Jiangxi, but also a famous home-cooked dish in Baodao.

Three cups of chicken is made with chicken as the main ingredient, with glutinous rice wine, green and red peppers and other auxiliary ingredients, fried chicken, fried with sugar, stewed, and finally poured with sauce.

The so-called "three cups", in the authentic Gannan recipe, actually refers to a cup of lard, a cup of rice wine and a cup of soy sauce.

And its method is not too complicated, first wash and chop half a fresh three-yellow chicken, add a tablespoon of rice wine, half a tablespoon of soy sauce and a tablespoon of cornstarch, mix well, marinate and taste.

Then cut the washed green and red peppers into rings, shiitake mushrooms into cubes, green onions into sections, ginger into slices, and garlic into cubes.

Immediately after, start to heat the oil in a pan, fry the ginger slices and garlic granules until they are fragrant, then add the scallions, shiitake mushrooms and marinated chicken nuggets and stir-fry until they are broken, then add the green and red pepper rings and stir-fry evenly.

Then pour in a cup of lard, a cup of rice wine and a cup of soy sauce, stir fry evenly again, cover and boil on high heat, then change to low heat and simmer.

When the soup is about to boil dry, add a small amount of sugar to enhance the taste, and then it can be served on a plate.

After this three-cup chicken dish is cooked, the color is red, the oil is bright and pleasing, the flesh is crispy and tender, sweet and salty, and salty and fresh. One bite will make people have endless aftertaste.

As for another sauerkraut stir-fried Dongpo that Liu Xining ordered, although it is not well-known, it is actually a traditional and famous dish in southern Jiangxi, and it is also related to the great writer Su Dongpo.

It is said that when Su Dongpo came to southern Jiangxi, he fell in love with this Jiangnan home-cooked dish "stir-fried large intestine with sauerkraut". "Po" also means "reading Dongpo's poems is chewy and meaningful".

The recipe of this dish is not difficult, just fry the sour radish, sour winter ginger and sour onion together with the washed and cut pig intestines. Of course, seasoning is the key.

Stir-fried Dongpo sauerkraut is bright in color and tastes sour. After a bite of the large intestine, the mouth is smooth and tender, full of chewiness, and crispy.

After finishing these two dishes, Jiang Yu made sweet and sour pork ribs, egg-wrapped tofu, shredded yam, and fried fungus for Pan Jingchen, who didn't like spicy food.

As soon as the dishes were finished, Yan Tongtong came over and told him that Liu Xining, Pan Jingchen and the three assistants had all come over. Jiang Yu didn't delay, and found two waiters to come over and deliver all the dishes with him.

After arriving at the box, Liu Xining put on the "mask" again, put on that elegant and virtuous appearance, with a faint smile on his face, blinked at Jiang Yu, and said with a moved face:

"Xiao Jiang, I've even troubled you to make Gannan dishes for me. Thank you so much!"

"Senior sister, you don't have to be so polite, you don't come every day."

Jiang Yu waved his hand, and after putting the prepared dishes on the table, he said with a smile,

"Then you eat first, I still have some things to do in the kitchen, if there is not enough food, just come and tell me."

After finishing speaking, he didn't stay in the box, turned around and went out.

As soon as he turned and left, Liu Xining took off the "mask". This room was full of old acquaintances, so she naturally didn't need to put on airs, how tiring it was to keep on airs.

"Chenchen, what should we do?"

Liu Xining pouted, with an aggrieved expression on his face, and said pitifully,

"Last time when Xiao Jiang made us ramen, I didn't think I should act like a baby with him. Looking at him, he seemed to be frightened by me..."

"Nonsense, which boy have you ever seen would be afraid of a girl acting like a baby? They can't wait for it."

During this period of time, Pan Jingchen has no pressure from work, nor the tension of being exposed to the camera. She lives a very comfortable and comfortable life, and her mental state has improved a lot.

She took a sip of water from the cup, smiled and said,
"I asked you before if you had any thoughts about Xiaojiang, and you said you didn't. If you really have no ghosts in your heart, why do you care so much about Xiaojiang, what do you think you are doing?"

"I didn't have it in the first place, but I'm his senior sister!"

Liu Xining's big eyes widened all of a sudden, and she said with a confident look,

"I seem to be three years older than him. How can I like a kid? What kind of international joke!"

"Female junior holds a golden brick, um, it's very good!"

"Tch, the female senior is still blessed with longevity, you happen to be four years older than Xiao Jiang, hurry up!"

"Hehe, I won't rob you!"

Pan Jingchen smiled, picked up the chopsticks slowly, put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in front of her mouth, and took a bite. Immediately, her eyes lit up with a "huh", and she said with surprise,
"The sweet and sour pork ribs are delicious, Ah Ning, if you don't hurry to eat them, if you don't catch the plane, all these dishes will be cheaper than Xiaoqian and the others!"

Xiaoqian is Pan Jingchen's life assistant, her full name is Liu Qian, and she is sitting beside Pan Jingchen at the moment.

"Xiaoqian, you see that Chenchen treats you like this, get rid of her quickly!"

Liu Xining was talking to Liu Qian, but his hands were not slow. He stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken on the three-cup chicken plate. He put it to his mouth and took a bite.
"These three cups of chicken are so delicious, unlike restaurants outside who don't know what kind of oil they use, Xiaojiang uses authentic lard, which is really delicious and delicious!
This time, I really tasted the taste of my hometown, and finally I didn't go back to Jiangzhou in vain! "

While eating, Pan Jingchen and Liu Xining exclaimed again and again, but the three assistants were much smarter, and they ate from the very beginning without talking at all.

As the old saying goes, don't eat or sleep without talking!

Talking while eating will definitely eat less than a non-talking person!

You see, people in ancient times have already seen through the true meaning of life!
So, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes.

Pan Jingchen and Liu Xining didn't know this truth, so they suffered a disadvantage from the beginning.

However, the two of them are also big stars after all, and they are not fools. They realized it after a while, and followed the example of the three assistants, shutting their mouths and just focusing on eating.

For a while, the huge box was silent, only the occasional "hissing" sound, which proved that there were still people in the box...
