I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Dining room number seven, in the kitchen.

Since there was an additional chef in the kitchen on the second floor, Du Guangning was officially promoted to be the sous chef. As for the newcomer Xiong Zhengtao, he took over Du Guangning's previous job and temporarily served as the assistant chef.

The sous chef, as the name suggests, is No. 1 under Jiang Yu, which means that Du Guangning is qualified to cook for the guests in the box.

Of course, Du Guangning had already started making all kinds of cold dishes independently, and now he just added some quick dishes that he is good at.

But even so, Du Guangning burst out with surging passion.

You know, it's been a long time since he's been in No. [-] dining room, and it's the first time that he's allowed to send the dishes he cooks to the private room!

This shows what?
It shows that my cooking skills have been greatly improved, and it also shows that the food I cook has finally been recognized by Jiang Yu!
How could this not excite him?
The more excited and impatient, the more willing to express yourself.

Ever since, during the recent period, Du Guangning's enthusiasm for work has skyrocketed, he rushed to do everything, and his whole body was full of energy.

As for Xiong Zhengtao, who just joined the kitchen of restaurant No. [-], when he learned that Du Guangning was just like him, at most a senior chef, but after staying with Jiang Yu for a period of time, he not only learned a wide variety of various The cold dishes, and even the taste of the stir-fried dishes were almost the same as those made by Jiang Yu, his eyes lit up with surprise.

Isn't Du Guangning's present his own future?

He fully believed that with his own hard work and motivation, as long as Jiang Yu was willing to teach him a little bit of skills, then he would definitely be able to advance by leaps and bounds in cooking!

Not to mention surpassing Jiang Yu, at least surpassing the sous chef Du Guangning is no problem at all!
It was precisely because of this that Xiong Zhengtao, instead of complaining at all about Jiang Yu's arrangement of him as a kitchen assistant, did it in a hurry and took great pleasure in it.

Hope lies ahead, which always inspires enthusiasm in a person.

With two capable "assistants" in the kitchen on the second floor, Jiang Yu was finally freed from the tedious chores and could take a breather.

Du Guangning was in charge of all the quick dishes and home-cooked dishes ordered by the diners who booked the private rooms every day. As for those special dishes and kung fu dishes with complicated craftsmanship and high difficulty, Jiang Yu would naturally need to cook them himself.

Although Dining Room No. [-] is located in a remote location and its scale is not large, in the eyes of many diners, it can be regarded as a gourmet sanctuary in the Chinese catering industry.

After finally booking a private room, and being able to come here to taste the meals made by Jiang Yu, how could it be possible to waste the opportunity to order a table of home-cooked dishes and fast-hand dishes?
Now that we are here, of course we have to order some special dishes and kung fu dishes that are rarely eaten on weekdays.

Some of these special dishes and kung fu dishes have gradually disappeared in restaurants and restaurants that pursue speed and profit because of their complicated craftsmanship and high difficulty. To the authentic taste.

But in dining room No. [-], with Jiang Yu present, all this is not a problem.

As long as it is a dish that has appeared before, there are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing Jiang Yu can't make.

For example, at this moment, Jiang Yu is making a classic Lu cuisine Kung Fu dish - cloth bag chicken.

Cloth bag chicken is a famous local traditional dish in Shandong Province, also known as assorted seafood chicken, because the shape of this dish is like a bag.

This dish is delicious. After serving the table, use chopsticks to swipe to reveal the filling. The fresh meat filling is large, fat but not greasy, tender and palatable, and has a unique flavor.

According to local county chronicles, bagged chicken originated in the early Yuan Dynasty and flourished in Qianlong. It was one of the main dishes of "Manchu Banquet".

Its main ingredients are free-range stupid chickens. After slaughtering and losing their feathers, they are cut into small mouths, and the neck bones, wing bones, body bones, leg bones and internal organs are removed to make it a "chicken cloth bag".

Then, fill the "chicken cloth bag" with [-] kinds of ingredients such as sea cucumber, abalone, scallops, ham, and bamboo shoot mushrooms in proportion, then seal the small swallowing mouth, deep-fry until golden brown, and finally steam it in a basket .

After the steaming is completed, it is matched with green, red, yellow and other colored vegetables to form a pattern and placed on the plate.

After being cooked, the color of "bag chicken" is yellow and red, the whole chicken is complete, and there are eight treasures inside, like a live chicken lying on the plate.

The cooking process of this dish is not complicated, but it is a test of the patience and meticulousness of the chef when handling the "chicken cloth bag". Even if the material is wasted.

Although it was the first time for Jiang Yu to make this kung fu dish, he had excellent knife skills. Although it took a little longer to make the "chicken cloth bag", he successfully removed all the bones and internal organs of the stupid chicken.

After finishing the preparation of the "chicken cloth bag", the next process is relatively simple. Stir-fried and seasoned sea cucumber, abalone, scallop, ham, bamboo shoot mushroom and other fillings are swallowed from the stupid chicken The small mouth is stuffed into the chicken belly, and then deep-fried in a pan until golden brown, and then steamed in a steamer.

After steaming the "cloth bag chicken" in the steamer, Jiang Yu then made several dishes that tested his cooking skills, such as nine-turn large intestine, shrimp roe and big black ginseng, and palace rice-flavored meat, before taking a rest.

"Boss, are you going to the nutrition restaurant on the third floor of the cafeteria to help make nutrition packages in the afternoon?"

Du Guangning has also prepared all the other dishes ordered by the diners in the four private rooms at the moment. Except for the few kung fu dishes made by Jiang Yu, the rest are fast-handed dishes. Once they are actually cooked, the speed is very fast .

Especially for Du Guangning, who has worked in the restaurant kitchen for several years, basically a dish can be prepared in a few minutes.

"Yes, I promised them yesterday."

Jiang Yu took a sip of water from his teacup, cleared his throat and said,

"The Provincial Games will be held soon, and the student-athletes in our school have to compete for gold and silver. If you cook something delicious for them, it's a wish for them to achieve good results in this Provincial Games. .”

"Oh, so can you come to the kitchen at night?"

Du Guangning didn't pay attention to the Provincial Games at all. What he cared about was whether Jiang Yu could come back in time for dinner if he went to the nutrition cafeteria on the third floor of the first cafeteria to help make nutritious meals.

If there is no time to come back, wouldn't the diners in the four boxes at dinner have to be in charge of entertaining by themselves?
What he was worried about was that if Jiang Yu wasn't here, he wouldn't be able to handle it alone, but with Jiang Yu here, he would have confidence in his heart.

No matter what kind of dish he dared to try, even if he failed, wouldn't Jiang Yu still be here to help?

"Well, I should be back later."

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said to him,

"In the afternoon, I will pre-make the kung fu dishes ordered by the customers in advance. You should come here step by step and make cold dishes and stir-fried dishes. When I come back, I will finish the pre-made kung fu dishes in advance. It's almost the same."

After a pause, he turned his head and said to Xiong Zhengtao,

"When Xiao Du cooks cold dishes, you can learn more and watch more, and use more dim sum. Maybe you will be in charge of cold dishes in the future."

"Hmm, boss, don't worry, I will study hard."

When Xiong Zhengtao heard this, he nodded quickly, and his heart was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself.

He originally thought that even if Jiang Yu wanted to teach him how to cook, he would observe him for a period of time, and he would not teach him the skills that could be passed down to his family so easily.

In fact, even if Jiang Yu did this, Xiong Zhengtao would not have any complaints, and he was very understanding.

After all, the chef who has just been recruited, who knows if you will have another heart, maybe you came here purely to learn from a teacher?

If I teach you, you turn around and slip away, whether you go to open a shop by yourself or go to another restaurant, it will be a blow to yourself.

Therefore, most veteran chefs find someone to come in. Even if they plan to teach him cooking skills, they will also inspect for a period of time. The length of this inspection time depends on what the old chef thinks.

And during this inspection period, the old chef will guard the newcomer like a thief, for fear that he will steal his teacher and learn his skills.

But Jiang Yu didn't seem to care about this at all. He had only been here for a few days, and he started to let him learn how to cook cold dishes from Du Guangning.

This made Xiong Zhengtao both surprised and happy.

It was precisely because of this that he himself made up his mind that even if he learned cooking skills and really planned to leave here, he would have to stay in dining room No. [-] for a longer period of time.

The reason why he did this was not for anything else, but simply to live up to Jiang Yu's trust in him.

Jiang Yu didn't know that Xiong Zhengtao had so many thoughts in his mind, he just wanted to distribute the workload of the kitchen reasonably.

Otherwise, it might be better for Du Guangning to cook cold dishes and stir-fry dishes by himself in a short period of time, even if he is a strong man.

But if Xiong Zhengtao came to help share some of the cold dishes, and Du Guangning only needed to make stir-fried dishes, the workload of the three chefs in the kitchen, including Jiang Yu, would be about the same.

The most important thing is that in the future, even if there are a few more boxes for reservations in the restaurant, and there are three chefs who make a table here, they can still handle it easily.

After sitting on the side to rest, Du Guangning cooked a few more fast-hand dishes, and invited Pei Guofu, Yan Tongtong and others to have lunch together.

After lunch, Jiang Yu came to the box on the first floor to rest for a while as usual, and played a few games of chess.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he returned to the kitchen on the second floor, pre-made several kung fu dishes that had been pre-ordered in the four boxes, packed them in fresh-keeping bags and put them in the fresh-keeping cabinet.

After finishing these tasks, Jiang Yu greeted Du Guangning, Xiong Zhengtao and others, and then slowly went downstairs.

Yesterday, I agreed to the Sports Academy to cook a nutritious meal for the school's athletes, and now I can almost start preparing it.

……

Jiangzhou University, Indoor Gymnasium.

It's already July, and the scorching sun has turned the whole city into an oven, and even the air you breathe into your lungs is hot.

Not to mention exercising vigorously under the sun, even if you just hide in the shade of a tree, the sweat on your body will continue to flow out as if you don’t need money. In just a short while, your clothes will be soaked inside and out.

But as the opening day of the Provincial Games is approaching, it is naturally impossible for the two coaches, Lin Yahui and Yin Tao, to suspend the training of the players because of the weather.

However, in order to prevent the players from suffering from heatstroke and other injuries due to high-intensity training, the two coaches moved the team from the open-air stadium to the indoor gymnasium after discussion.

Jiangda's indoor gymnasium is mainly divided into competition hall, training hall and functional facility rooms.

At this moment, in the open and brightly lit training ground, a group of student athletes are concentrating on training hard on various training grounds. Some are strengthening their strength training, some are doing endurance training, and some are continuously running along the track Run back and forth for short distances to strengthen your lower body explosive power.

Liu Xiaohu took a few high jump players to practice run-ups on the high jump field next to the training ground.

The approach of high jump is different from that of running. Sprint is the pursuit of speed, long-distance running emphasizes endurance, while the approach of back jump high jump requires rhythmic running, raising the center of gravity, using the stored acceleration kinetic energy combined with the bouncing of muscles, so that Athletes jump higher.

Therefore, a high jumper's lack of mastery of the run-up plays a vital role in his achievements.

Although Liu Xiaohu's high jump performance is very good, but his approach is not in place, purely because he has a very high high jump talent, so he can jump over a height of 2.2 meters.

According to Lin Yahui, if Liu Xiaohu can fully master the running-up movement that suits him, his current result will definitely exceed 2.2 meters.

It is precisely because of this that some time ago, Lin Yahui specially designed a set of run-up movements for Liu Xiaohu according to his specific personal situation, which included the rhythm of the run-up, the control of the run-up point, and the combination of run-up and take-off, etc. technical points.

As long as Liu Xiaohu can practice his run-up, then before the official opening of the Provincial Games, his high jump performance is likely to be greatly improved!

As for whether he can jump 2.27 meters, which is the standard for international high jump athletes, it is hard to say for the time being, but the possibility of winning the championship medal in the Provincial Games is much greater.

After completing several sets of run-up training, Liu Xiaohu walked aside sweating profusely and out of breath, ready to rest for a while, and then resumed the next set of training when he recovered.

A sports student practicing sprinting saw him coming, so he handed him a bottle of water from a long distance, and joked with a smile:
"Old Liu, I see that you have been training so hard these days. Are you planning to win the gold medal in the high jump at the Provincial Games?"

"Who can know?"

Liu Xiaohu took the mineral water and unscrewed it, "gudong gudong" drank most of the bottle at once, poured the rest of the water from the top of his head, heaved a sigh of relief, and put the empty bottle aside Throwing it in the trash can, shaking his head and saying,
"No matter how high you usually jump, it's useless. It depends on your impromptu performance on the court. If you don't perform well in the competition, it's just a formality."

"Don't be so humble, if you get a gold medal, you will be a gold medal, and my brothers won't be jealous of you!"

The sports student raised his hand and patted Liu Xiaohu's shoulder, and said with a smile,
"If you win the gold medal, you will be able to eat the celebration banquet in the No. [-] dining room. Don't forget to pack some for me to taste. I have never tasted the dishes in the No. [-] dining room. !"

I was busy with some personal matters yesterday, and it was already late when I came back, so the word count for today's update is a little less...

I'm really sorry, I'll try to get back to normal tomorrow.
