Chapter 31 Shandong Cuisine Assessment
Time passed unknowingly, and He Yuzhu had gradually mastered Shandong cuisine. He only needed to practice and master the heat. However, Master Sun could not let He Yuzhu cook on the stove, so He Yuzhu had nothing to do in the Shandong cuisine kitchen. Keep learning.
On this day, He Yuzhu found his master Fan Dakang.
"Master, I have completed my studies in Shandong Province. I only need to go to the stove to practice. I don't need to go there to study." He Yuzhu said to his master Fan Dakang.
"Are you sure you have learned everything?" Master asked.
"Of course, all I have to do now is practice." He Yuzhu said with certainty.
"Zhuzi, it's not that master doesn't believe you. Although you have talent, it's really amazing that you mastered a cuisine in less than a year." Master Fan Dakang said.
"Master, how about this? Let's go to the kitchen and I'll cook some Shandong dishes. You can taste them and it'll be fine." He Yuzhu said confidently.
"Okay, let's do it like this." Fan Dakang said.
He Yuzhu and Fan Dakang walked out of the office. Came to the Sichuan Cuisine Kitchen.
When the second senior brother saw Master and He Yuzhu walking in, he stepped forward and asked, "Master, what do you want when you bring Zhu Zhu here?"
"It's nothing, just go about your business. Zhuzi, look at the ingredients and what to cook. If there's anything missing, just tell me. If there's nothing missing, just start." Fan Dakang said.
"Okay Master." He Yuzhu replied.
He Yuzhu looked at the ingredients in the kitchen and prepared to make fish fillets. The making process of Zao Liu fish fillet is unique and delicious. The key lies in the skill of knife processing and sizing.
"Master, what is Zhuzi?" The second senior brother asked Master Fan Dakang as he saw Zhuzi busy at work.
"Zhuzi said that he had finished studying Shandong cuisine in the kitchen. I asked him to try some dishes and see if he had really learned it." Fan Dakang said.
"Zhuzi learned it so quickly." The second senior brother said in surprise.
"I can't believe it either. We'll find out later." Fan Dakang said.
After a while, the fish fillet was finished, and He Yuzhu brought the dish to his master Fan Dakang.
"Master, please try it." He Yuzhu handed Master a pair of chopsticks and said.
Fan Dakang picked up a piece of fish fillet and tasted it. Instead of commenting, he said to the second senior brother: "Try it."
The second senior brother took a pair of chopsticks and took a bite of the fish fillet to taste.
"Tell me, what do you think of this crappy fish fillet made by Zhu Zhu?" Fan Dakang asked the second senior brother.
"The texture is smooth and tender, the soup is thick, and it's very delicious. I can't fault it," said the second senior brother.
"It's really good, I don't have anything to say." Fan Dakang said.
"Zhuzi, it seems to me that you, Lu Cai, are ready to start training. Have you said hello to Master Sun?" Fan Dakang said.
"Not yet. This is not because I am afraid of embarrassing Master. I want to tell you first. Please check it." He Yuzhu said.
"In this case, go and ask Master Sun to come over." Fan Dakang said to He Yuzhu.
"Okay Master, I'll go ask Master Sun." He Yuzhu said.
He Yuzhu came to Master Sun's office and knocked on the door. Master Sun's voice came from inside, saying "Please come in," and He Yuzhu opened the door and entered Master Sun's office.
"Zhuzi, what can you do?" Master Sun asked when he saw He Yuzhu coming in.
"Master Sun, my master asks you to come over." He Yuzhu said.
"Does your master have anything to do with me?" Master Sun asked.
"I've been studying in the Shandong cuisine kitchen for so long, haven't I? My master is going to give me a test. Please come over and check it." He Yuzhu said.
"Old Fan, okay, let's go." Master Sun said to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu took Master Sun to the Sichuan kitchen.
"Old Fan, why do you think of taking the apprenticeship exam?" Master Sun said to Fan Dakang as soon as he entered the kitchen.
"Nothing, how about you come over and try this bad fish fillet." Fan Dakang said.
Master Sun took the chopsticks handed over by the second senior brother and said, "Then let me have a try."
Master Sun took a bite of the fish fillet and said to Fan Dakang: "Did you make it?"
"I didn't do it, it was the pillars." Fan Dakang said.
"You didn't lie to me?" Master Sun was very surprised when Fan Dakang said that He Yuzhu did it. You must know that He Yuzhu only watched in the Shandong cuisine kitchen and never touched it, but he made a dish that was not inferior to that of his young apprentice Wang Fusheng. You must know that Fengzeyuan is basically run by the young apprentice Wang Fusheng.
"Can I lie to you about this? Why don't you take the Zhuzi test again?" Fan Dakang said.
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Master Sun said.
"You're welcome. This is also to find out Zhu Zhu's shortcomings. You can give him some pointers so that he can make further progress." Fan Dakang said.
"Zhuzi, you can make another fried double crispy dish and a first-grade tofu dish. If you need the ingredients, go to the Shandong Cuisine Kitchen to get them." Master Sun said.
Oil-exploded double-crisp has extremely strict requirements on heat. If it is less than one second, it will be undercooked, and if it is more than one second, it will not be crispy. It is extremely difficult to make.
Yipin Tofu is a Confucius dish and a classic Shandong dish.
He Yuzhu prepared the ingredients and started making it. First, make the first-grade tofu. It takes a long time to make the first-grade tofu. It is fried in oil and double crispy over high heat.
After a lot of work, He Yuzhu brought the first-grade tofu and fried double crisps in front of Master and Master Sun.
"Come on, Old Sun, have a try." Fan Dakang said to Master Sun.
Master Sun was not polite and tasted it. Fan Dakang also started to taste it after Master Sun took it.
"Old Sun, tell me, what do you think?" Fan Dakang asked.
"The first-grade tofu is fine. It's done well. The frying time is a little too high and the cooking time is a little late. It's because you don't make it too much. You just need to practice more." Master Sun said.
"Can that pillar meet the standard for becoming a master?" Fan Dakang asked.
"Of course, Zhuzi can be a disciple." Master Sun said.
With these words from Master Sun, He Yuzhu no longer has to go to the Shandong cuisine kitchen and returns to the service of his master Fan Dakang.
Master Fan Dakang's office.
"Zhuzi, you are ready to start teaching Shandong cuisine. What are your plans next? Which cuisine are you going to learn?" Master Fan Dakang asked.
"Master, I don't know either. Although I didn't learn Shandong cuisine before, it was very taxing on my brain. I had to read and memorize it during the day and review it when I got home at night. I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest for a while and summarize what I've learned. , let it settle." He Yuzhu said.
"You haven't had much rest for more than a year. You have indeed learned a lot. It's good to take a rest and settle down." Fan Dakang said.
"How long do you want to rest?" Fan Dakang asked.
"I don't know either, but after the break, I want to experience other cuisines." He Yuzhu said.
"Okay, you rest first. Tell me which cuisine you want to learn. I'll ask you." Fan Dakang said.
"Let's go, you and I will go talk to Manager Luan." Fan Dakang said.
Fan Dakang took He Yuzhu to Manager Luan's office. Tell me about He Yuzhu.
"Old Fan, you know that Fengzeyuan's business is getting better and better, and the kitchen is too busy now, especially at night. I had planned to ask Zhuzi to stop learning Shandong cuisine and come back to Sichuan cuisine." Manager Luan said.
"Well, let's do it this way. It's still the same as the chef I hired before. When I'm busy, I'll come over and help with the cooking." Fan Dakang said.
"Now that you have decided, let's do it, Zhuzi, you have to come over in the evening. There are many guests at night, and your second senior brother will be too busy." Manager Luan said.
"Okay." He Yuzhu said.
After coming out of Manager Luan's office, He Yuzhu went home.
