Chapter 81 Choices
"I'm just talking about it on paper. I know the production process, but I've never put it into practice."
Du Shaojie shook his head. He certainly wouldn't brag at this time, so it's better to tell the truth.
"That's not easy! I'll call you when I'm cleaning the soup later, and you can watch and connect theory with practice."
Liao Yongxin said, and then he stopped talking and continued to work with his head covered.
After Du Shaojie chopped the meat, he put it in a bowl and began to prepare the ingredients and condiments for [Dongpo elbow].
He had prepared a classic Shandong dish [scallion-fried sea cucumber] for a long time before, but he didn't have it today, but he had [green beans and shrimp].
Time passed quickly in the busyness.
Liao Yongxin opened the lid of the soup bucket, beat out all the fat and scallions and ginger in the soup, and then continued to boil the soup.
After the two of them finished all the preparations, the clear soup was almost cooked. Du Shaojie took out the chicken, duck, elbow, ham and other ingredients, filtered out the residue in the soup, and let it cool aside.
The next step is to sweep the soup, that is, put the prepared minced meat into the soup and boil it. When the minced meat expands due to heat, it will absorb the impurities in the soup, and then filter it out with gauze.
Do this three times, the order is determined by the color of the meat, from dark to light.
Finally, pour the clear soup into a container to settle, which will be used later. At this time, the soup is completely clear, without any turbidity, but the aroma is very strong.
Du Shaojie noticed that Liao Yongxin had already blanched the peeled cabbage heart in water and could complete the final process at any time.
"Master Liao, the dishes are ready."
Director Cai appeared in time, and the two of them were relieved.
This job is not easy today, so just finish it quickly.
Du Shaojie made a [Dry-fried Fish] and a [Fish-flavored Shredded Pork], and the rest of the dishes were cooked by Liao Yongxin. However, he also gained a lot today, and Liao Yongxin taught him a lot of cooking skills.
After he finished his work here, he went to help Liao Yongxin, and various dishes were soon served on the table.
The last dish is [Boiling Cabbage]. Put the processed cabbage in a plate, pour clear soup on it, and then steam it in a pot. After the water boils, steam it for 5 minutes and take out the plate.
Take another clean plate, take out the steamed cabbage and put it on a plate.
Pour the boiling clear soup again, sprinkle a few red wolfberries on it for embellishment, and this [Boiling Cabbage] is ready.
Looking at this ordinary dish, the process is very complicated and consumes a lot of auxiliary materials. If it is not called a "palace dish", its production cost is not low.
"Finally done!"
After completing the task, Liao Yongxin showed a little smile on his tense face.
Du Shaojie also felt that it was not easy. This dish was included in the simulation training content. After returning, he can practice it in the simulation scene. Don't think about it in reality. If it weren't for coincidence, he wouldn't have the opportunity to get started.
After a break, Director Cai came over to arrange dinner for the two.
"Master Liao, Master Du, the dishes you two cooked today are very popular. The guests are very satisfied with the food and have praised your cooking skills!"
Director Luo's face was bright when the guests were happy.
Everyone praised Liao Yongxin's [Boiling Cabbage], but the first dish to be eaten was [Dry-fried Fish].
"As long as you like it, I didn't embarrass Director Luo."
Liao Yongxin put aside the last bit of worry, and a smile bloomed on his face, as if his appetite had improved a lot.
After dinner, the two went to the kitchen to help clean up.
There were a total of 10 dishes today, which was really more tiring than preparing several tables of banquets.
"Master Liao, Master Xiao Du, you two have worked hard! Master Liao is still sharp, and Master Xiao Du is showing his talent. You both have first-class skills!"
Just like last time, before the two left, Director Luo came over to thank them in person.
After all, he is a big boss, and his words are very professional. Liao Yongxin's face was full of joy.
"It's not hard, not hard."
"You are too kind. I still need to learn more from Master Liao."
After a few polite words, Director Luo was ready to leave.
When he reached the door, he seemed to remember something, turned around and looked at Du Shaojie and said, "Master Du, are you interested in changing your unit? Don't rush to answer, go back and think about it carefully."
After that, Director Luo turned around and left.
Director Cai finally sent Liao Yongxin and Du Shaojie out. As they walked on the road, she smiled and said, "The director has a heart of love for talents. If Master Du is willing, I can find a way to transfer you here."
This opportunity was also presented to Liao Yongxin, but he was used to being casual and finally refused.
Now it's Du Shaojie's turn. I don't know what choice this young man will make.
"Thank you Director Luo for your kindness, thank you Director Cai. I have to go back and discuss this matter with my family. I will report to you after the discussion."
Du Shaojie's mind was as clear as a mirror. It was said that he was transferred to a large government unit, but in fact he was someone else's "royal chef."
He didn't object to this. It was his blessing that Director Luo liked him. However, he was afraid that this "blessing" would be hard to enjoy! After all, if the timing was wrong, the situation would change drastically in a year or two, and he would be implicated
if he was not careful. It was okay to cook a few meals for others, but if he
was implicated too much, it would be unnecessary. So he responded very politely, and Director Cai nodded without saying much.
He was just a chef, and his cooking skills were good, but they were far from being something that she cared about very much.
Afterwards, Du Shaojie and Liao Yongxin left the compound and rode their bicycles back slowly.
"Xiao Du, you'd better think about it. This kind of opportunity is fleeting. If you miss it, you'll miss it!"
Liao Yongxin could feel that Du Shaojie's cooking skills were improving very quickly.
He could do this in a corner of the farm. It could only be said that his talent was extraordinary. He was blessed by God and could not be envied.
Back then, Liao Yongxin suffered a lot in order to learn his skills. Du Shaojie is good. Without a teacher or inheritance, he has already had some of the style of his heyday by slowly exploring.
This boy is not an ordinary person. It depends on where his opportunities are.
"Master Liao, I am still young and my cooking skills need to be honed. As the saying goes, serving a king is like serving a tiger. There is no room for error. As for me, I'd better settle down and train for a few more years. When you help me push this matter back, please say a few more words of thanks for me."
Du Shaojie did not hide his thoughts and expressed his thoughts.
Liao Yongxin was silent, but just nodded slightly, and looked up to this young man even more.
Not everyone can resist this temptation. Although it is not free to follow Director Luo, the benefits are unimaginable. It
is really difficult to make a decision.
Of course, this little thing is not enough to make Director Luo mind. He just did it casually, and it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not.
The two then separated at the fork in the road, and Du Shaojie went straight back home.
He didn't tell anyone what happened today. The situation was unstoppable, but he couldn't say it out loud. This was the biggest secret in his heart. Time would prove everything.
After washing his hands, Du Shaojie talked with Wang Yuxiu and his two sisters for a while before returning to his room to rest.
He suddenly realized that he should buy a radio for the family, otherwise the three of them would be very bored in their spare time. However, radios are now a luxury for ordinary families, and many people don't have one at home.
