Chapter 480: Seeking but not getting
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
I don’t have a pen, but it doesn’t matter, I have a light computer.
Chen Wu and Jin Zhen were two diligent and studious apprentices. Upon hearing her words, they immediately turned on their laptops and wrote down every word she said.
Jian Yan nodded with satisfaction. Regardless of his talent, his attitude towards learning was very serious.
Let’s do this for now, and after a while, we’ll see what they are good at.
After cleaning the large intestine, Chen Wu and Jin Zhen watched in amazement as she disassembled the entire pig with ease.
"Pig heads are suitable for making braised dishes and pig head cakes. Pig ears, pig heads, pig noses, and pig tongues are all good dishes to go with wine."
When disassembling the pig's head, she would explain the taste of each part and how to make it delicious.
Chen Wu and Jin Zhen nodded as they listened, and happily sat down to take notes.
Next came the pig's feet, pork tenderloin, pork ribs, pork loin, pork bones, neck meat, rump meat, plum meat, pork belly and other parts of the meat, all of which were neatly arranged under her explanation.
After she processed the whole pig in this way, it can be said that except for the pig lungs and bladder that she didn't bring back, all of them can be made into delicious ingredients.
"Master, can I ask you a question?" Chen Wu couldn't help but be curious, and asked when she was holding the pork lard cut into uniform sizes and preparing to boil lard.
"You ask."
In short, making lard requires experience. Lard is a good thing and it can be used to make delicious pastries.
When steaming vegetables in Mianyang Three Steamed Vegetables, a traditional Hubei Han Chinese dish, add a little lard and stir them, the taste will be so original and fresh.
The lard residue that has been boiled until it is crispy is also extremely delicious. Mix it with some sugar and eat it directly. The taste is indescribable.
Add some to fried rice, stir-fried vegetables or noodles, and the taste will be excellent.
In short, only those who have tasted lard can understand its fragrance and delicious taste.
"How many years have you been studying this?"
"More than 20 years."
It’s not long, not even one-fifth of their life time. I don’t know if they can reach the level of their master after studying for more than 20 years.
Hearing the two people's questions, Jian Yan was silent for two seconds before saying, "I can't give you an answer. Cooking requires talent, diligence, and a good tongue."
"Taste can be cultivated artificially, diligence depends mainly on yourself, and talent is something..."
After a slight pause, she slowly said under the expectant gazes of the two, "I can't get what I want."
No matter what industry or profession you are in this world, it is not enough to be diligent. Talent is more important than diligence.
If you have talent and are diligent, it will be easy to achieve the ultimate and reach the top.
Without talent, no matter how hard you work, it is just a pipe dream to want to reach the pinnacle.
This is especially true in the culinary world.
Anyway, all the chefs and famous chefs she has come into contact with and knows are both talented and hardworking, and no chef has climbed to the top through hard work.
The corners of their mouths twitched, and they said in unison, "Then Master, do you think we have talent?"
"have."
Glancing at the two of them, she said, “But you two have different talent points.
Based on my observations during the time I was on the boat, Chen Wu’s talent for pasta was higher than his talent for cooking.
Suitable for being a pastry chef.
As for you, Jin Zhen, you're not very good at making noodles, but you do have a pretty good talent for cooking."
The two of them didn't care about where their talent and skills lay; they just needed to know whether they had talent or not.
