Yao Shi felt relieved to see Fu Yu listening carefully and spoke in more detail.
"Actually, the method of making duck slices is also very particular."
"During live performances, the duck skin must be sliced off while it's still hot for customers to taste. At this time, the duck skin is crispy, fragrant and has the best taste."
"When cutting the duck meat, the pieces should have skin on them, and be thin but not broken. A 2-kilogram duck like this can produce more than 100 duck meat slices, and the size is as uniform as a clove leaf, and the taste is crispy and fragrant. Fresh and tender, with unique flavor.”
Speaking of this, Yao Shi thought of something and said with a smile: "When I learned to cut roast duck from my master, my master was very strict with me. He often said that if you master the skill of slicing roast duck, you can slice a duck accurately. It’s made into 108 slices, of moderate thickness and size. I was able to achieve it when I was practicing hard, but over the years I’ve been cooking less often, and my skills have also declined.”
Customers come to the store to eat, mostly to enjoy the excitement.
A big shot like Yao Shi can't easily cook, and customers who can ask him to cook on the stove usually won't order dishes like roast duck to satisfy their cravings.
Therefore, when it comes to live performances like this, Yao Shi often uses his hand speed and plate placement skills to cover up his shortcomings in knife skills.
It is said to be 108 pieces, but it is often cut into about 100 pieces and served on the table.
No customer would actually stare at him and count the number of times he went under the knife.
And in order to prevent accidents, when cutting the breast meat into pieces, he would deliberately put them on small plates first, and coax customers to try the dishes first on the pretext of tasting them while they are still hot.
In this way, no one can really count how many cuts and slices he made.
But it was impossible for him to tell Fu Yu about such a thing.
If someone is led astray, Zhao Meng still has to fight him to the death!
The seedling of Fu Yu is still well established and needs to be cultivated well, but it must not follow a crooked path like his.
So Yao Shi paused and thought about his words before continuing to teach: "However, I observed at work that the existing knife method for duck slices will actually affect the overall appearance of the roast duck. The original knife method cannot show the best performance. To bring out the essence of this delicacy. So later I specially practiced the spatula duck method."
"If you want to show the essence of this delicacy to the greatest extent, you must present the most essential and delicious parts of the roast duck to diners at a specific temperature at the first time. Only then can diners taste the crispy, fragrant and tender bj roast duck. .”
"The spatula blade method can quantify it to how many slices each diner eats, thereby rationing the meal to each diner. It not only satisfies the aesthetics, but also arouses the taste buds of the diner, allowing the diner to gain the happiness of tasting delicious food."
“After entering the mouth, the duck meat is crispy, fragrant, tender and juicy. The temperature is moderate and slightly hot. This taste is the best way to fully mobilize the diners’ love for this delicacy..."
Fu Yu listened carefully to Yao Shi's words without any pause in his hand movements.
The duck-cutting method Yao Shi mentioned was actually one of the methods he learned in the teaching practice class.
In addition, Fu Yu also practiced almond slicing, which is the most traditional slicing method. Well-sliced duck meat looks like almonds.
There is another slice method such as willow leaf strips.
There are no shortcuts to this sword skill.
If you want to be good and fast, in addition to talent, the most important thing is to practice diligently.
Looking back now, it was really hard for him in the teaching practice class.
In order to refresh each cutting method, he had to repeat the same operation dozens or even hundreds of times.
If time was not static in the teaching practice classroom, it would probably take at least more than a year, or even longer, for him to truly return from his studies.
After figuring out the key here, Fu Yu suddenly felt helpless.
What did you do early?
If he had been so motivated back then in high school, he wouldn't have been able to get into any school!
Fu Yu is dedicated to three things.
While listening to Yao Shi's words, he sighed in his heart, and the movements of his hands did not stop.
On his side, he sliced the duck meat neatly.
Over there, Yao Shi paused.
This roast duck slice is so beautiful!
Even without counting, Yao Shi can estimate that the number of pieces is basically around 108 pieces.
At least the width is thinner and more even than what he cut out.
Precisely because Yao Shi is very good at this dish, he can tell at a glance that Fu Yu's knife skills are very good for this piece of duck!
Fu Yu, on the other hand, put down the knife with relief.
Done!
He clearly knew that he had cut out a total of 108 pieces of duck meat.
Not too much, not too little, just right.
The duck meat is cut, and all that's left is plating.
Yao Shi followed the old-fashioned way of roasting duck and served it in three plates.
A small plate of duck breast skin and two plates of duck whole body meat. On the third plate, place the duck head separately in the middle of the plate, with two pieces of duck tenderloin and two pieces of duck tail skin on top.
Fu Yu followed the instructions.
When the last piece of duck tail skin is put on, the whole roast duck can be served to the table for customers to taste.
"Bah bang bang!"
Yao Shi couldn't help but applaud: "It's so beautifully done!"
To be fair, Yao Shi even felt that Fu Yu's roast duck slices far surpassed his own.
With this sword skill, he can be respected as a master wherever he goes!
Think back to those days.
Yao Shi has always felt that he is very talented in cooking, so after entering the industry, he has made great progress and has gone smoothly step by step until today.
But now that he saw Fu Yu, he truly realized what it means to be a genius!
Fu Yu is a genius!
He is still a peerless genius who only comes across once in a century or even a thousand years.
Otherwise, how could he have made such rapid progress in such a short period of time?
This made Yao Shi feel a little dazed for a while.
The way Fu Yu was cutting the blocks with his head down seemed like yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, he was already so awesome!
Yao Shi, who had been conceited for most of his life, felt a sense of crisis for the first time in his life.
The feeling that he might be caught up from behind at any time gave him a sense of urgency as if he was being slapped on the beach by a wave from behind.
However, this thought was instantly shattered when he saw Fu Yu pretending to be calm even though he was obviously happy!
Come on!
This kid is obviously still very young!
Just like how easy it is to express his worries, after all, the city is still too shallow.
When you are young, you have experienced less.
Without enough experience, they naturally cannot reach the level of veterans like them who have been struggling in society for half their lives.
Think about this.
Yao Shi's mentality, which he felt was shocked before, calmed down instantly.
With his experience and life experience, there are still many things that he can teach Fu Yu!
I really want to slap him as a front wave on the beach, which is not an easy task!
If that day comes, Yao Shi fantasizes about it and feels that while he is sad, he may be more happy and proud.
After all, there is a successor!
Thinking of this, Yao Shi couldn't help but be moved again.
Why don't you just grab such a good seedling and keep it yourself?
