delicious little cook

Chapter 7 Going to the Stove is Really Pleasant
"Hey, Bai Kou, what about you? Which one do you think is better?" Away from several people, Xiang Cao, who was picking vegetables, suddenly found several people around her, but Bai Kou didn't speak.

"Me? It doesn't matter." Bai Kou swiftly made a cross on a basket of mushrooms in front of him, "Our master in Suyuan has taught many new dishes."

"Then you want to play freely?" Vanilla's tone was a little sour.

"Do you want to specify a topic? How is that different from our previous two rounds of just taking the basic skills test? It takes a month to practice a dish, and then 24 dishes that are exactly the same will be put on the table, and they will all have similar tastes?"

"Tsk, yes." Immediately someone agreed with Bai Kou's opinion.

"It's as if if you are allowed to play freely, you will definitely succeed." Behind Bai Kou came the voice of a boy with a changed voice.

"I have studied art for several years, but now I still don't trust my craft? Please change careers as soon as possible." Bai Kou didn't look back at all, and threw out the mushroom with a knife in his hand, and it fell accurately into the dustpan next to him.

"Bai Kou is right. We are all selected from the best. We should believe in the skills we have trained for many years."

Suddenly there was a figure beside the well, a young girl with a paralyzed face came over to wash a round melon peeled in a dustpan, I don't know how long she listened by the side.

"So, Hongsu also supports free play?" Vanilla raised her head high.

"Boss Wen said that in the assessment of basic skills, everyone's scores are actually very close, and no one is convinced at the bottom. Now the lady has given us a chance to go to the stove. Only by playing freely can we increase the scores." Hong Su coldly Said, throwing the bucket into the well, "Now the top six, who knows if they will fall behind."

Everyone was silent, but their minds were quickly recalling the various recipes they had learned.

Before starting to make lunch, Manager Wen announced a new order that the kitchen is open for apprentices to use, but it cannot occupy the time of business. Only when the kitchen is free, they can use the ready-made ingredients to practice cooking.

The apprentices cheered and worked harder than usual.

As soon as the lunch time was over and the kitchen was cleaned up, no one wanted to rest. The two kitchens of the red case and the white case were occupied by apprentices. The girls looked at each other, and the quarrel seemed to be about to escalate.

Seeing the mess in the kitchen, Bai Kou patted her butt and went back to take a nap instead.

When she returned to the Hongan kitchen after taking a nap, the others had almost finished the preparatory work. The food was on the stove or in the steamer, and the food shelf, seasoning cabinet and long table chopping board were all vacant.

Lu Doudou was arguing with someone over the stove. She got the stove first, but a girl deliberately dismissed her, trying to drive her off the stove. The two quarreled louder and louder, pushing each other, and they were about to fight stand up.

"Okay, girls, just a few words and it's over. If you want to fight outside, Mr. Wen and the others are waiting to find everyone's fault."

Bai Kou swayed in front of the food rack, pretending to say something casually, but the quarrel between the two died down immediately, and Lu Doudou snatched back her stove and rekindled the stove that was about to go out.

Lu Doudou stir-fried a pork liver, and when she turned around to put down the plate, she saw that Bai Kou had prepared her ingredients and was waiting for her to empty the stove.

"Do you want to add more firewood?" Lu Doudou immediately stepped aside.

"Okay, I want a big fire."

As Bai Kou said, he put the steamer in his hand on the burner, while Lu Doudou fetched some fresh firewood and put them into the stove.

The steamer was empty, and the ingredients had to wait until the water boiled, so taking advantage of this time, Bai Kou went to the chopping board to cut the pumpkin.

The small pumpkin is peeled, deseeded, washed, cut into strips, and there are a few raw salted eggs on the side, and the preparation is complete.

The water boiled quickly on the stove. Bai Kou put the pumpkin on a plate, put it on a plate, put it together with the salted egg into the pot, and steamed it. It was cooked in about a quarter of an hour. Take it out and put it on the table to cool.

Soak the salted eggs in cold water for a while, then take out the two halves when they are cold, pick out the egg yolks and crush them, then pinch a few shallots, wash and chop them, and then concentrate on the pumpkin strips to let them cool quickly .

"Do you want to use a wok? I just washed this wok for you to use?" Lu Doudou put her stir-fried pork liver by Bai Kou's hand and said while holding up the wok she used earlier.

"Okay, thank you."

After a while, Lu Doudou came back with a clean pot, but she didn't put it down, and kept holding it in her hand, for fear that others would snatch it. Fortunately, there was no shortage of all kinds of pots in the kitchen, and no one insisted on snatching her.

"Is there enough time? It's time to make afternoon snacks." Lu Doudou picked up a piece of her fried pork liver with chopsticks and fed it into Bai Kou's mouth, and took a few bites from other people's plates, tasting each other's cooking skills.

"Which stove still has a fire?" Bai Kou touched the pumpkin strips and felt that the temperature was about the same.

"Here's one." Wan Qiu smirked at the stove next to her, stretched out her chopsticks and took a bite from someone else's plate.

Bai Kou immediately walked over, put down the pot, spread a little base oil, put the salted egg yolk and some accessories into the pot and stir-fry, then poured the pumpkin sticks down, weighed the pot a few times, so that the pumpkin sticks were all covered with salted egg yolk, and started the pot Sprinkle shallots in a pot, and Bai Kou set aside most of it for everyone to taste, and wrapped two small packets in oiled paper, and distributed a packet to Lu Doudou.

Baked pumpkin with salted egg yolk. The surface of the sweet pumpkin has the aroma of salted egg yolk. Everyone has a few chopsticks and eats it all up quickly.

-

The practice time was over, and everyone started to clean up the kitchen together, just in time for the cooks and cooks to come over to make afternoon snacks.

Because they were allowed to enter the kitchen, none of the apprentices went down to rest. They all stood by and watched the cooks' workmanship, and learned some delicate desserts that they hadn't learned in the workshop.

Bai Kou looked at how they prepared the ingredients and knew what kind of dim sum they were going to make. Although the style was not surprising in her eyes, the flower molds used made her admire secretly. It turned out to be silver.

Just this beautiful flower model was enough for Bai Kou to stick to the dim sum steamer, and then everyone dispersed. She took Lu Doudou quietly out of the corner door again, and sat on the door pier to rest.

I have been standing since I practiced in the kitchen until just now, and I have to sit for a while.

Lu Doudou took out her baked pumpkin with salted egg yolk from her bosom, and ate it happily one by one.

"Bai Kou, your craftsmanship is quite good, no wonder you are very confident in free play. Hey, why don't you eat it when you hold it in your hand? Do you want to keep it for supper?"

"Save it for someone else."

"Who?" Lu Doudou was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that he lowered his voice, "Oh, that little brother. Do you think he will come?"

"If he doesn't come, I'll keep it for supper."

"If he comes, will you give him this as a thank you gift?"

"He must think that I was boasting that day, and I always have to prove to him that I am not just talking nonsense."

Lu Doudou immediately wrapped up the leftover baked pumpkin she ate, "Then I won't eat it, if you give it away, I'll keep it for supper."

"Just keep a few pumpkin sticks, and eat it if you like it."

Bai Kou was disdainful, but had a happy smile on his face.
