Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Thinking of this, Du Ruhui immediately cheered up and asked with a smile,

"Princess, how is the progress between you and shopkeeper Xiao Zhang?"

Chapter 183 New Dishes

Not to mention Du Ruhui, who was completely trapped in the private room, gave advice to Li Qingmei with a doggy face.

Standing in the kitchen, Zhang Nuo was frowning watching Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang busy.

The dishes were chosen by Zhang Nuo. Brothers Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang cook the same dishes, so that the differences can be seen, and it is also convenient for Zhang Nuo to observe the basic skills of the two.

For Chinese food, knife skills, side dishes, seasoning, heat... There are too many factors involved in whether a dish is good or not.

And although everyone knows that a good dish should be full of color and flavor, but how to make a dish full of color and flavor is a lot of knowledge.

The other helpers in the kitchen were kicked out by the Da Zhuang brothers long ago!

Although Zhang Nuo didn't explain it that way, in the eyes of the two brothers, this is a secret that the boss wants to teach them. How can they let outsiders read and study indiscriminately?

Although these two brothers are managing the restaurants in the eastern and western cities, they still haven’t got all the people in the kitchen. Let's talk about the deed of sale.

What's more, not to mention signing the deed of selling oneself, one has to start with the most basic washing and cutting of vegetables!

Now, the two brothers didn't look like the arrogant masters they usually used to. They stood honestly in front of the vegetable pile, chopping vegetables seriously.

Then Zhang Nuo looked a little angry!

He himself has achieved great feats now, his eyesight and wrist strength have surpassed ordinary people, not to mention his own basic skills, so if he cooks by himself now, just cutting out the dishes is already pleasing to the eye, and it is fast and easy to say. him.

He didn't ask these two brothers with his own level, but judging from the current situation, these two brothers would definitely let other people chop vegetables on weekdays, and he hadn't practiced for a long time.

Zhang Nuo didn't object to the help of his assistants cutting vegetables. After all, this was a large kitchen that served so many people in the restaurant. If the two brothers had to prepare, chop, and stir-fry vegetables by themselves, they would be exhausted after a day.

But these two brothers are currently working while learning art, so can't they practice well after returning home?

Judging from the current method of cutting onions, the two brothers have not only failed to improve, but also regressed!

This is a bit unreasonable!

However, Zhang Nuo didn't say much, and planned to continue watching. Maybe in terms of seasoning and heat, the two of them could improve through practice.

The dish that Zhang Nuo chose today is fried mutton with scallions, a very popular and common dish, and the two brothers must make this a lot on weekdays.

After cutting the ingredients, the mutton that had been prepared before was almost marinated, and the two brothers stood in front of the stove and started working almost at the same time.

First put in the oil and garlic and start to sauté, then almost at the same time put the marinated mutton into the pan and fry it together with the marinated ingredients.

But there is a difference between the two brothers here, even if they are at the same heat, Da Zhuang will cook earlier than Er Zhuang.

After both of them put the dishes on the plates, Zhang Nuo didn't say a word, picked up the chopsticks that had been prepared a long time ago, and started to try the dishes one by one.

The first one to try is Da Zhuang. This scallion-stir-fried mutton is extremely simple in practice, but the choice of heat is very important. If you are not careful, it is easy to be overcooked, or it is easy to cause it to be cooked too quickly.

Therefore, there are requirements for the heat and stir-frying techniques, which Zhang Nuo has emphasized.

After eating two mouthfuls of Da Zhuang's, Zhang Nuo didn't speak, then turned around and ate another two mouthfuls of Er Zhuang's, then put down his chopsticks and looked at the two brothers in front of him, frowning and said,

"The work in the kitchen is not difficult at all. Practice makes perfect, but why do I see that your knife skills are not as good as before?"

"If you want to open a small restaurant, the current craftsmanship is probably enough, but if you want to open Zhang's restaurant, you have to make a name for yourself in Chang'an City and make a name for yourself. Your knife skills are unqualified first!"

"I won't ask you why, anyway, from today on, practice one hour of knife skills for me every day, and another hour of cooking!"

"There is obviously something wrong with Da Zhuang's stir-frying pot. I know you want to make the mutton more tender and delicious, so you deliberately cook it in advance, but the skill of stirring the pot is not in place, and the heat is uneven. Some are just right, and some are not cooked! "

"Er Zhuang's dishes are all cooked and taste good, but they are too conservative. I came here today to test the dishes. I just want to test your highest level. Who are you trying to fool?"

"I'll give you one more month to practice your knife skills and pan pots. After one month, I will come to try dishes, and I will tell you in advance that I want to try this dish. I want to see if you can do it in one month. How much progress!"

Brother Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang touched their heads, obviously embarrassed, but they were secretly encouraging themselves in their hearts, they can't lose face again next month, and they won't be able to go to school if they lose face again.

Zhang Nuo didn't care so much, he walked around the kitchen with his hands behind his back, and then came over with a chicken, which made Brother Da Zhuang stunned for a while!

This chicken was given to them by a chicken dealer, and it hasn't fully grown yet. They originally planned to raise it in the backyard, but they didn't expect to be picked up by the owner directly. What if I teach them how to make a chicken?

Zhang Nuo was also very excited. Seeing this little hen, he thought of a dish that could be served at a state banquet in later generations-Dong'an chicken.

Zhang Nuo handed the chicken to Da Zhuang casually, and confessed,

"Kill the chicken and pluck the feathers, you two hurry up! Be quick with your hands and feet! Prepare a pot of clean water to boil!"

This is the style of a chef. It's nothing technical, it's all done by the underworld.

Brother Da Zhuang naturally didn't dare to object, even if they were restaurant chefs, they still worked honestly in front of Zhang Nuo.

It didn't take long for a steaming pullet to arrive in front of Zhang Nuo cleanly.

Zhang Nuo casually threw the whole chicken into the boiling water and said,

"This dish is called Chang'an chicken. It is best to choose a pullet that has not laid eggs. The weight is more than one catty but not more than one and a half catties is the best!"

"After cleaning it, put it in boiling water and boil it until it is seven ripe, which is about as long as a cup of tea!"

Not long after he finished speaking, Zhang Nuo guessed that it was almost time, so he fished out the chicken, and then flushed it with well water, and the steaming chicken immediately became firmer.

Then the whole chicken was thrown onto the vegetable pier. Zhang Nuo started to handle it with a knife, and at the same time began to explain the following,

"This dish is all about the taste and taste. If the knife skills are not in place, it will not look good. That's why you need to practice knife skills!"
