"Okay, go ahead and do it. I'll watch you do it. I want to see what makes you the most popular person!"
Dongzheliu saw that this person was indeed making things difficult for him. As he was a medical student, this person was fine with it, but he even asked him to cook.
What could this doctor and the cook have in common?
I don’t think so!
There shouldn’t be any at all!
"I'm telling you this now, so just remember it. This pork elbow has a distinct aroma, and is renowned for its color, aroma, taste, and shape. It's a jujube-red color."
"Um."
"And this pork elbow should be cooked to be crispy and tender without being greasy, and fragrant and delicious to be considered perfect. But you obviously made it to eat the seasoning, although your seasoning is indeed good."
"Um."
Wen Xianrong will also learn from his lesson. After all, what he said is indeed correct. After all, this is indeed the characteristic of this guy with an elbow.
I can only blame myself.
Can't do it.
Seeing that the seasoning I prepared myself was still there, I added something to it and poured it over the food while cooking. Then it became the final dish, with pork elbow.
"You're doing it wrong. Now let me tell you about the problem with the elbow. You have three problems that you should correct."
"Master, you say it, and the apprentice must do it."
"Calling me Master is too much. Right now, I only have three things to tell you. Please take note of them."
"First, I see that your dish is almost torn. The dish is called pork elbow with handle, and it is processed very delicately. Pay attention to maintaining the original shape of the pork elbow with handle, and the skin of the elbow should be intact."
"And what you've done is a fundamental mistake. It has completely destroyed hope."
"What about the second point, Master?"
It is natural that someone like her will not give up. As for you, you must tell everything and take a good look at what this second point is.
"Secondly, you just mentioned that it's steamed in a pot over high heat, but there really isn't a large pot with a vent in the imperial kitchen, so the in and out flow is inconsistent."
"What consequences will there be for the master?"
Just from this one dish, she was able to learn so much knowledge. It seemed that the criticism just now was completely meaningless and was just a drizzle.
"This dish is steamed over high heat, and the lid must leave a gap. This way, the finished product won't be damaged by excessive steam and its shape and color! You added the secret seasoning at the end, and the color has already been overcooked!"
Good man, this master really has sharp eyes. Nothing can be hidden from him. There is no choice but to give up. After all, what he said is quite right, so there is naturally no way for him to interfere.
"Now, Master, I will ask you a most fundamental question. If you can't even answer this question, then you can shut up."
"You say."
"What's the difference between Dongpo pork elbow and pork elbow with handle?"
Although the two look similar, they are worlds apart.
Although I saw it in a rare copy, I should have eaten this Dongpo pork elbow myself. Anyway, they are both pork elbows, so what is the difference?
As I was thinking about this, a light bulb suddenly lit up in my head.
No, if there was no question, this person would not have chosen this question to ask her.
And as long as you ask, there will definitely be hidden problems.
It's not clear what the problem is.
"This Dongpo elbow is not as good as the one with a handle, because the meat of the one with a handle is tender and not greasy. If it's the Dongpo elbow, you might end up having to pick it up and eat it, after all, it's a bit troublesome to pick it up."
"Um."
After listening to the man's answer, Dongzheliu nodded and said, "This boy is teachable."
"The pork elbow with handle has a unique shape, diverse ingredients, and is carefully prepared with complex techniques. It has been improved over time and remains popular. It has a reddish-brown color and is fragrant, mellow, and tender."
"Well, now I understand, and your dish looks like it's just starting out."
"Nonsense! It takes at least an hour to make a pork elbow with a handle. This is to make the meat more tender. Otherwise, who would eat it if it's so hard?"
"Then the apprentice will come and steam it."
"You have a heart, too."
He then stepped aside and let her do it herself. Although he didn't know why a medical student like him was asked to be the cook, it seemed that the cooking skills he had learned for so many years were finally useful.
It doesn't matter how much you learn, as long as you know it all.
"But Chef, I don't just serve this pork elbow. I've also made another dish. If you're interested, you can try it now."
Dongzheliu sighed after opening the jar.
"What a good thing! It's actually Longjing shrimp."
"Yes, I got some shrimp specially and cooked it just for the dish. I want you to taste it carefully and tell me the result."
"That's...good."
"Master, please just use what you said just now. If you praised me out of thin air, I would feel that something was wrong."
"In that case, I'll tell you everything."
"Yeah, okay."
"What you need for shrimp is fresh river shrimp."
"Master, I have something to say to you later!"
"Whatever you say, Master is giving you this opportunity to speak."
"The shrimp I used are fresh river shrimp. Don't make up stories about me. I bought them from the river market with great difficulty!"
"I...didn't say your shrimps and river prawns weren't fresh."
"Okay, then go on."
Seeing this, Wen Xianrong shut up and watched him continue talking, wanting to hear what he could say.
"And did you brew this Longjing tea at high temperature?"
Wen Xianrong was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that he even knew this. Isn't it true that tea should be brewed at high temperature? What's the problem?
"Isn't this how all tea is brewed?"
Dongzheliu just shook his head, looking calm and composed, no one knew what he was thinking. Then he took a bite of the shrimp and pursed his lips.
"It's different. When cooking Longjing shrimp, the key is to control the heat. And your Longjing tea should be brewed at a constant temperature of 80 degrees before being taken out and set aside. But you didn't do that."
"Yes, you are worthy of being the master. I am really not."
"So you should go make corrections. Is there anything else?"
"Then Master, I'll give you these two dishes. I still need you to prepare a few more for me."
"Eating... no need. I just hope you can cook well and not just rely on seasoning to get ahead."
"Yes, thank you for your teachings, Master!"
Dongzheliu then just shook his head and went back, feeling that this person was taking the seasoning too seriously. After all, without the seasoning, this person wouldn't have achieved much, as his life was mainly supported by the seasoning.
"Master...Master, please take it!"
