Teach my brother-in-law

The cooking competition in Deqinglou was held as scheduled, which is another marketing idea of ​​Baihe.

There is a village called Shuiyuan Village more than 20 miles away from Qibei, and there is a girl named Chen Xi'er in the village.

Chen Xi'er is twenty-eight years old, young and beautiful. The most important thing is that she has good cooking skills.

After entering the door of the fire room, Chen Xier realized that the fire room in the ancient restaurant was so large. In the fire room of more than 300 square meters, there were nine chefs cooking on ten fire stoves, and there were three or five small workers behind the stove. While adding firewood to the fire, one of the men in charge was wandering behind the chef, giving pointers from time to time. The chefs wore gray hats and hung a cloth towel around their necks to wipe off sweat. The three chefs kept frying the dishes. Send it to the waiting room next door, and the food put there will be sent to the restaurant by the waiter.

There are two deacon-like men in the waiting room, constantly calling out the names of various dishes, and the side dish chef inside will sort the dishes and send them to the counter next to the chef. superior.

In Chen Xier's eyes, the arrangement of the whole fire room is completely beyond her imagination. The division of labor in the kitchen, the chief chef, the cook, the chef, the deacon, the chef, and the firework are completely streamlined. In order to improve the operation level and speed up the frequency of serving dishes, Chen Xier couldn't help admiring the stewards in the kitchen.

Seeing an outsider looking at the door of the fire room, the Tsing Yi steward came over and wanted to ask Chen Xier to leave, but the old man behind Chen Xier waved his hand, and the Tsing Yi steward smiled and asked, "Girl, who are you?".

"Oh, Mr. Li. This girl was invited in by me. She wants to participate in the chef competition. Why don't I try her cooking skills in advance? Mr. Li, ask the fire worker to light the last stove and let her This girl will give it a try." The old man behind said with a smile, and the man in Tsing Yi called Mr. Li in front quickly called a fireman to start a fire and start a pot.The old man is Mr. Xian, the head chef of Deqing Building.But now he doesn't show his hands easily, only occasionally when distinguished guests come.

Chen Xi'er turned her head and made a small grimace at the old man. Now Chen Xi'er was in a good mood, and walked behind several chefs to the last stove. This stove was bigger and wider than other stoves, and the pot was bigger than other stoves. The pot in the chef's hand should be smaller and more delicate.Even the ingredient box next to it is made of fully carved wood, and all the items on the stove are arranged more neatly. It seems that this pot is most likely used by Mr. Xian, the chef of Deqing Building. Chen Xi'er didn't know Mr. Xian, so she didn't have that kind of oppressive feeling in her heart, but relaxed.

"Girl. Any ingredients in this fire room, meat, eggs, and vegetables are selected for tenure. The old man is waiting for your masterpiece here. Whether you can participate in this cooking competition depends on your current performance. After all, the participants this time are all men. .” The old man stroked his beard and said.

"Thank you, old man!" Chen Xi'er said with a smile, and washed the spatula once, and then cleaned her hands with a spoon of water on the water table next to her, first nails, then hand stitches, and palms.On the back of the hands, scrub them in turn and then rinse them with water twice.The old man next to him looked at Chen Xier's actions with a smile and said nothing.Nod slightly.

Chen Xier turned around and walked around on the desk, and walked on the shelf again, picking up some meat, eggs and vegetables, but Chen Xier hadn't figured out what to cook to impress the chef in the fire room, Chen Xier looked at The other chefs looked at her while cooking and couldn't help thinking, they are all cooking masters, if I want to impress them, I must choose something very ordinary, after all, some dishes can't be prepared in a short time after taking time and materials Yes, thinking about it this way, Chen Xier saw rice noodles being steamed in a wooden barrel on the stove at the end of the chopping board, or fried rice with eggs. The test is the chef's skill, and the rice needs to be cooked overnight. Chen Xi'er thought about it and turned around and found a small wooden barrel for the overnight rice. It's almost ready, the rice is ready, celery, carrot, shiitake mushroom, pork, eggs, etc., ingredients Both.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Xier first stirred the overnight meal with chopsticks and put it in a large bamboo bowl to cool, took a bowl, cracked an egg, stirred it lightly with chopsticks until egg bubbles were formed, and then took out a knife and a cutting board , cut the cleaned celery, carrot, shiitake mushrooms, and ginger into fine pieces. Chen Xier’s knife skills made the chefs next to him feel ashamed. After the knife was shining, all the ingredients were all in small handfuls. Stack on cutting board.

Seeing this scene, the fireworker pulled the firewood from the stove, and the flames sprang out immediately. Chen Xier took a deep breath and placed the pot on the stove. At the same time, Chen Xier put the cold rice in a big bowl, stirred it Pour the good chicken feathers into the rice, and then stir vigorously. When the eggs are completely combined with the rice, the pot is red-hot and smoking.

Put the oil, add fine salt and stir, then pour in the rice and stir fry for a few times, then quickly pour the other ingredients on the cutting board into the pot, and then stir fry carefully until the rice is about to turn brown, the steward handed over two small bowls, Chen Xi'er served the fried rice with eggs, and it was done.

Two bowls of egg fried rice were delivered to the steward and the old man.

"Miss, this is just a bowl of ordinary fried rice with eggs. Our chefs here can make it. This is a cooking skill that makes me appreciate you." The old man said with a smile, without even trying it.

"Old man, how will you know how this bowl of ordinary egg fried rice tastes if you don't try it?" Chen Xi'er handed over the chopsticks, and the old man happily took the chopsticks and picked up a little to try. The old man closed his eyes and chewed lightly , the skeptical expression on his face turned into a little strange, surprised, frowning, and then raised eyebrows, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Well, the taste is really good. The other kind of rice and eggs are intertwined. Yes, this can be said to be the best egg fried rice I have ever eaten, but things like girls can't be put on the table." The old man Put down the chopsticks and said.

"Old man, thank you for your compliment. Since the old man, the little girl thanked the old man, the little girl will leave now and stop harassing her." Chen Xier thanked the old man and walked out of the fire room.

"Girl, please stay! If the girl is willing to come to my fire room in Deqing Building, I welcome it, but can the girl endure the high temperature and busy work?" The old man said hurriedly.

"Thanks to the old man, the little girl still has something to do, I hope the old man will forgive me!" Chen Xi'er tactfully rejected the old man's kindness. It is rare and has to be angry with others, which is the reason why Chen Xier is unwilling to come, and more importantly, Chen Xier doesn't know whether her cooking skills can be used in the hall.

"Miss, go slowly." The old man watched Chen Xi'er disappear into the backyard of the fire room, then turned around and asked hastily, "Where are the two bowls of rice? Where are the two bowls of rice?"

"Old Xian, it seems that the bowl over here was taken away by the second son outside just now. He said that the county magistrate was in a hurry to destroy it. Not only did I forget to fry it because of this matter, the second son who passed the dishes just put it on the counter. Serve this small bowl of fried rice with eggs and take it away." A fat chef said with a blushing face.

"What? Sigh! Forget it, we can't keep this girl in Deqing Building. I'm afraid her craftsmanship is beyond our imagination. If you keep this girl, you guys have to go back home and farm. Alas!" Elder Xian couldn't help but look gloomy.

When Mr. Xian walked out of the kitchen, all the chefs were dumbfounded.

"Quick, quick, the county magistrate He asked for two more bowls of the egg fried rice just now." The anxious voice of Xiao Erzi came from outside!

In the early morning of the second day, Chen Xier rubbed her eyes and woke up from the dreamland, when she heard a voice from outside, like the voice of an old man.

Chen Xi'er got up and went into the kitchen through the back door, fetched water to wash her face, rinsed her mouth, and then went back to her room to comb her hair before leaving the room.

The old man has been invited into the yard by Chen Xi'er's father, and is sitting in the yard chatting.

"Xi'er, this is Mr. Li, the deacon of Deqing Building. Mr. Li said he has something to talk to you about. I'm going to make some tea. You can talk to Mr. Li!" He has seen the world in business, and he has a cheerful personality. Such a small matter is so smooth that he will not embarrass his daughter. Besides, he is the deacon of Deqinglou, and he can be regarded as the number one person in Ningzhou.

"Miss Xi'er, I found you so hard, but I'm glad I found it now. Miss Xi'er showed off her cooking skills in Deqing Building yesterday. Not only did Mr. Xian think that Miss Lu's cooking skills are good, but even Mr. He from the county government Everyone appreciates it, it’s not that the old man was sent to look for the girl last night, but the girl didn’t say where she lived when she left, it’s not that I checked the population list in the county government last night, and I didn’t find the girl’s address until midnight, it’s not that Early in the morning, Mr. Xian sent an old man to visit." Mr. Li can be regarded as the shopkeeper and the leader of everyone under Mr. Xian in Deqing Building, and he usually takes care of all the business of Deqing Building.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, the little girl is just curious!" Chen Xi'er really wanted to participate in the culinary competition now, but when she thought that it's not a good thing for a woman to show her face in this day and age, and her father came out with tea and talked. There was a sense of rejection.

"Miss Xi'er, this is the invitation card for the culinary competition from Deqing Building. The competition will officially start tomorrow. I hope you can spare time to participate. Our shopkeeper and Mr. He from the county government have invited you here from Qinzhou Datong. It’s a bit of a waste of a girl’s culinary skills to be wronged in the mountains and fields, I’ll take my leave first, and hope that Miss Lu will participate tomorrow!” Mr. Li smiled and retreated to the entrance of the courtyard and walked out.

As soon as Mr. Li left, Xi'er's father asked by the way: "Xi'er, what did Mr. Li tell you? What cooking skills? What's going on here? Tell Dad about it." Xi'er's father has always wondered what he said What is the relationship between a small family and a small family and a big restaurant like Deqinglou? Why would a girl in her teens associate with Mr. Li, the deacon and second in command of Deqinglou? (To be continued.
