Chapter 197 Radish Bone Soup

[It turns out that the subsidy is not as much as we thought. Some of it is directly distributed as eggs and milk. Teacher Zhang explained it very clearly.]

[I can see that Teacher Zhang is a sincere and idealistic person. She has devoted her whole life to rural education without getting married or having children. It is really too much to criticize her.]

[I'm impressed! Can these media please stop taking my words out of context! They've even started to repost content that questions Teacher Zhang! ]

[The unscrupulous media is really too much. Have you ever thought about how Teacher Zhang felt when he saw this? ]

[I was skeptical at first, but now I regret it. Some media outlets are really inhumane.]

[Look! The program crew responded so quickly! And their tone was very strong! ]

[There are also official media outlets that directly came out to refute the rumor. I love this speed, hahaha! ]

[I hope Teacher Zhang doesn’t see it from beginning to end, so as not to hurt her feelings. ]

……

Teacher Zhang is peeling potatoes carefully.

She is not very flexible.

Her eyes, which became increasingly cloudy as she got older, also became a hindrance for her.

After working hard for half a day, she only peeled a dozen potatoes.

But it is many times more tiring than carrying vegetable baskets.

When she thought of the two large baskets of potatoes, she...

Ok?
What about potatoes?
Brush brush.

A very rhythmic sound came to my ears.

Teacher Zhang's eyes moved, and soon he opened them wide in shock.

Nanzhi's movements, holding the knife in one hand and the potato in the other, were very nonchalant.

She hardly even looked down, but her hands moved so swiftly that they almost left afterimages.

The blade flashed with a sharp light, and the potato skins as thin as cicada wings fell down.

of course.

This was nothing to Nanzhi.

Potatoes are abundant and cheap, making them the best choice for practicing knife skills.

Every chef’s entry into the cooking world involves the death of countless potatoes.

Peeling potatoes is just basic, nothing special.

But in Teacher Zhang's opinion, this may not be the case.

She was so shocked at first that she couldn't speak.

Then, he stammered and asked:

"Teacher Nan, was you a professional potato peeler?"

Nanzhi thought about it carefully and replied:
"A semi-professional chef, right?"

Because it is not full-time, or even my main job, I use the word semi-professional to describe it...

Well, that makes sense.

[The vast majority of chefs in China fell silent.]

[Boss Nan, Boss Nan, how can I feel when I aspire to become the top chef in China? ]

[If this is considered semi-professional, then all professional chefs can take off their hats. ]

[You are too modest. ]

[Teacher Zhang actually believed it? He just secretly slandered others. Could he be a cunning person? ]

[I can’t blame Teacher Zhang for being too naive, I can only say that Nanzhi’s tone was too serious. If I hadn’t watched the first two live broadcasts, I would have believed it too! ]

……

Teacher Zhang's mind has already automatically replaced it -

"Semi-professional" is equivalent to "amateur".

It is equivalent to "enthusiast".

Teacher Zhang suddenly realized:

"It turns out that Teacher Nan likes to cook."

Nanzhi nodded this time.

It's more than just liking it, it should be said that I love it!
Teacher Zhang suddenly suggested: "Why don't you let Teacher Nan be in charge of one dish for lunch? Today I plan to make two dishes and a soup, stewed potatoes with meat, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and carrot and bone soup. Teacher Nan, would you choose one?"

After all, it’s the first day at school.

Nanzhi did not take on all the dishes, but said:
"Then I'll be in charge of the carrot bone soup."

Teacher Zhang nodded seriously:
"It seems that you are a good cook, Mr. Nan."

"It's OK indeed."

['Cooking skills are OK' Nanzhi! What kind of modern Versailles is this! ]

【Wait for Teacher Zhang to be shocked! 】

[The radish bone soup doesn't seem to be that difficult, I want to see the hard dishes! The big dishes! ]

【Why not just make some Wensi tofu and wow the crowd! 】

[Why are you ordering food here? Don’t think Nanzhi is omnipotent! ]

……

There are many ways to eat radish, and different varieties of radish correspond to different cooking methods.

The basket in front of Nanzhi is filled with large white radishes, as thick as a child's arm, and a warm ivory white in color. After peeling, they are crisp, tender, sweet, and have plenty of moisture. They can withstand long stewing and will develop flavor over time, making them very suitable for stewing soup with pork ribs.

The village canteen couldn't afford the expensive lean meat ribs, so they used large bones, with the meat on them almost completely removed, except for two or three small strands.

At most, it can add a hint of meaty flavor to the bland white radish soup, but other than that, it has no other function.

Fortunately, after seeing the few ingredients, Nanzhi had already made a plan in her mind -

She took a kitchen knife and split the bone vertically.

Then use clean water to thoroughly wash away the blood remaining in the bones.

Then, add cold water, onion, ginger and cooking wine and blanch until no trace of blood foam can be seen.

Then stir-fry the large bones in a frying pan, using high temperature to force out the fat in the bones, making the whole thing golden yellow.

At this time, add boiling water and simmer over high heat until the soup turns white. Then cover and simmer until the flavor of the bones is fully stimulated, then add the chopped white radish.

This series of actions was carried out in an orderly manner by Nanzhi.

Teacher Zhang next to him was stunned:
"Cooking carrot bone soup... is it that complicated?"

Nanzhi wondered:

"Hmm? That's complicated?"

Teacher Zhang said as a matter of course:
"Yeah, isn't it just a matter of throwing the bones and radishes together and stewing them?"

Nanzhi had a bad feeling.

Then he looked past Teacher Zhang and saw the chopping board in front of her.

Suddenly, Nanzhi fell into a long silence.

Teacher Zhang wondered:

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Nanzhi looked at the potatoes of different sizes cut into pieces on the chopping board, as well as the wilted cabbages after being violently washed, and couldn't help but think of Teacher Zhang's boast just now that his "cooking skills are not bad."

Well, maybe they each have a different definition of "good cooking skills"?

Soon, Nanzhi thought he had found a reasonable explanation -

Although it doesn't look good, it's very efficient.

Maybe it tastes good too?

After all, Teacher Zhang is the only one cooking for more than 50 people, and he is not a professional chef, so how can he take care of everything?
Well, yes, that must be the case.

Nanzhi, who had convinced herself in her heart, went to help Teacher Zhang while the bone soup was stewing.

Although Teacher Zhang was curious about Nanzhi's "complicated" cooking process of radish bone soup, it was not enough to make her doubt her own cooking skills.

She was full of confidence and wanted to show Nanzhi her excellent cooking skills. She said that the students all loved her cooking and smiled happily every time.

Then, Teacher Zhang personally demonstrated what it means to do whatever one wants and what it means to follow one's inspiration.

Nanzhi’s voice continued to ring out——

"Wait, can this potato be thrown directly in?"

"Wait, don't you have to fry the pork belly?"

"and many more……"
