After hanging up the phone, Zhao Meng then received the game video from Yao Shi.
At ten o'clock in the evening, all orders from the kitchen have been completed.
In the conference room on the second floor of the front hall, a group of people were sitting together and carefully watching the cooking video on the screen. Zhao Meng sat in the front row and expressed a few words of emotion from time to time.
"Fu Yu chose this dish wonderfully! Just this gourd chicken dish shows off all aspects of skills. Look at the splitting technique and pay careful attention to his movements..."
Zhao Meng looked at the operation techniques in the video, quickly identified the key points, and instructed several people under him to watch carefully.
Sun Qingning and Zhang Jinyu looked at this split action and felt a little sigh.
This is Fu Yu. Someone else would definitely not be able to do this.
Moreover, in addition to splitting, this dish also needs to be bundled.
After the two procedures are completed, another person will do it. It will definitely not be completed in less than an hour.
But when customers come to the store to dine, it takes you more than an hour just to prepare the dishes. By the time the cooking is finished, the customers can no longer wait.
But Fu Yu’s entry video was less than an hour long.
From food preparation to cooking, I went through all the processes. This hand speed and time control were indeed enough to reach the level of participating in the competition and winning awards.
Moreover, Fu Yu himself is good-looking and has a good temperament, and it is easy to win the favor and love of viewers.
"Hey! Chef Fu's knotting technique is quite special, isn't it? I haven't seen it before. Look at the way he wraps his fingers when tying the chicken legs. The direction is reversed, but the knot is obviously very clever... ..."
With Zhao Meng present, although everyone else had their own ideas, only Sun Qingning dared to speak freely.
During this period of time, Sun Qingning was able to cook independently, his cooking skills improved rapidly, and he became more and more proficient in various operations.
Now when he watches Fu Yu's cooking videos, he will have more insights than others.
After this period of getting along, he had already figured out Zhao Meng's temperament.
Zhao Meng seems to have a bad temper, but in fact he is quite soft-hearted and has always been firm in his work. He likes his subordinates who are hard-working and willing to work.
In situations like this, as long as you can seize the opportunity to ask for advice, Zhao Meng will definitely give you serious guidance.
So while watching the video, Sun Qingning observed Fu Yu's operating techniques while racking his brains to summarize the cooking skills that he was unfamiliar with. When asking questions, he expressed his questions as clearly and clearly as possible.
After hearing this, Zhao Meng nodded: "Well, his binding technique was learned from his master. The operating steps and angles are indeed different from the methods we are usually used to."
Sun Qingning understood immediately. The binding method used by Fu Yu was exclusively taught by Liu Yunong. No wonder he had never seen it before.
Realizing this, Sun Qingning couldn't help but become more serious and careful while watching the video.
The picture of the video is very clear. Although there is no fast forward when splitting and bundling, Fu Yu's hand speed is so fast that he will miss several steps if he is distracted.
Seeing Fu Yu completing the step-by-step operation with ease in the video, everyone was amazed and envious at the same time.
As we all know, it is impossible to master this set of operations without long-term practice.
And even if they want to learn, they must have a master willing to teach them!
This person is really different from other people.
They have to work in the back kitchen while trying their best to steal from others.
But Fu Yu had a master's step-by-step guidance and learned unique secret techniques.
Just say you are envious or not, jealous or not!
Everyone said "Wow" in their hearts while watching the video.
I originally thought that splitting and bundling them would be amazing, but after bundling them, Fu Yu did not fry them immediately. Instead, he boiled them in hot water and then steamed them thoroughly.
There is nothing surprising about Fu Yu's operation steps. What stunned everyone was his control of the seasoning ratio.
When cooking, most chefs make judgments based on their own experience when adding seasonings. More or less, there will be a weighing process when serving, and the measuring tools are often the commonly used spoons or spatulas.
Anyway, you can see the dosage at a glance, making it easier to judge.
But when Fu Yu put in the seasonings, it seemed as if there was a measuring scale on his hand. He only caught so much each time, never more or less.
He only relied on one hand to weigh it and did not use other tools to assist him.
Realizing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Just when everyone was silent and watching Fu Yu put various seasonings into the pot.
Sun Mingze suddenly turned his head, looked at Zhao Meng curiously and asked, "Chef Zhao... how long does it take to master an operation like Chef Fu's, which is to directly estimate the proportion of seasonings with his hands?"
Zhao Meng said casually: "It depends on personal talent. After repeated cooking of a dish, all the steps will slowly form an impression. After completing one step, you will immediately think of what to do next. The same goes for the cooking feel. It’s something you develop little by little, but everyone has their own cooking habits.”
Zhao Meng smiled at Sun Mingze: "Just like me, I usually use a spatula to hold seasonings. If there is more or less, I almost know it at a glance. As for Fu Yu weighing it with his hands, it is his personal preference. Get used to it, how much to pinch and how much to put in. You can tell by looking at his cooking movements that his technique is stable."
Sun Mingze nodded in an educated manner.
Then he remembered something and asked quickly: "Chef Zhao... when tying the chicken, it seems that the one used by Chef Zhao wasn't cotton thread, right?"
The commonly used binding cords in kitchens are generally cotton threads, which are easy to bind and easy to separate.
However, the thread used by Fu Yu in the video is obviously not cotton, and it seems to be more resilient.
When Zhao Meng heard this, he glanced at Sun Mingze one more time and nodded approvingly: "Yes!"
Sun Mingze suddenly became curious.
The usage rate of cotton thread is quite high in cooking in the kitchen, such as boiling meat, steaming crabs, stuffing vegetables... The use of cotton thread for bundling can prevent the heating time from being too long, and the heat will make the meat loose and even produce fat. The phenomenon of stratification of meat and lean meat.
Cotton thread is not easy to deform under long-term high temperature and has high heat resistance.
but......
What Fu Yu used was not cotton thread. What was it?
Immediately, Sun Mingze realized that the replaced thread must be better than cotton thread, or in other words, for this gourd chicken dish, it is more convenient to use and has better effect.
Because bundled chicken is different from other ingredients.
The preparation of gourd chicken is very complicated. It needs to be boiled, steamed and finally fried.
Although cotton thread is very useful, it may not be able to withstand the effects of boiling and frying.
If the thread breaks during cooking, the entire dish will be ruined.
To achieve the best results, you must choose a stronger and more durable cord.
for example......
Sun Mingze turned to look at Zhao Meng.
Zhao Meng explained: "He used hemp silk."
Sun Mingze looked at the screen carefully. Fu Yu's hand speed was too fast. Before he could take a closer look at the difference between the hemp silk and the cotton thread tied to the chicken, it was covered by the soup in the pot.
Sun Mingze was so engrossed in watching that he forgot his fear of Zhao Meng for a moment, and applied casually: "Chef Zhao, the speed of the video is too fast. I can't see clearly what Chef Fu is doing. Can we slow it down a little?"
】
Zhao Meng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he could see it quite clearly, but the cooking skills of several of his subordinates had not reached this level. It was estimated that when Fu Yu was cooking, he was too fast and could not react at all. Come.
So he nodded and told Sun Qingning: "Xiao Sun, please slow down the video speed."
Sun Qingning quickly stood up, held the mouse and operated it, and quickly slowed down the video speed.
Zhao Meng looked at the video. The steaming process had been edited out. In the video, Fu Yu put the whole chicken into the steamer, closed the lid, and the text showed the time.
The steaming was completed. In the video, Fu Yu opened the lid and revealed the steamed whole chicken.
Heat oil in a pot, heat the oil to 80% heat, add the steamed whole chicken, and stir it with a spoon.
Zhao Meng looked at the video and stared at the hands holding the spoon quickly and skillfully, and accurately changing the frying angle of the whole chicken from time to time.
Looking at it, my brows couldn't help but frown slightly!
"Xiao Sun, I asked you to slow down the speed a little. Did you adjust it to -0.5? Just adjust it to -1."
Sun Qingning was stunned. I had already slowed down the speed. Is this the speed of -1?
"Cook Zhao, this is already -1 speed. Any slower will be -2."
Zhao Meng was stunned for a moment: "How is this possible? You don't have to turn the speed so fast when frying. The oil temperature is sufficient. You only need..."
Halfway through his words, Zhao Meng suddenly became silent.
Sun Qingning and others all looked at Zhao Meng. Seeing his expression of sudden realization, they couldn't help but become more curious!
Someone boldly suggested: "Chef Zhao, the speed is still a bit fast now, why don't you slow down a little?"
Zhao Meng nodded, but did not speak again.
He looked at the time displayed on the playback progress bar and felt a little unbelievable!
I was just looking at the content and didn't notice that the video recorded by Fu Yu cooking this dish was only twenty minutes long.
Although all the boiling and steaming processes have been edited out, based on experience, the cooking time for the entire dish is only about an hour at most.
After calculating the time, Zhao Meng was stunned!
How is this possible?
Although he had never cooked this dish before, he relied on his understanding of himself and went through the entire cooking process in his mind. According to rough calculation, it should take him nearly two hours to complete it at the earliest.
Let’s not talk about how difficult it is to debone the whole chicken. Just bundling the whole chicken, there are so many steps, how can it be completed in less than an hour?
But Fu Yu's deboning and binding of the whole chicken took less than half an hour.
What kind of speed is this?
Deboning a whole chicken means removing everything from the big bones to the bones and joints. Not to mention how laborious it is to remove the skeleton fascia. Just considering not damaging the tissues near the fascia, you need to use calm techniques. , once the speed is too fast, the chicken will be broken, and the final binding shape will also be affected.
However, the scenes in the video are definitely recordings of Fu Yu’s cooking operations!
This forced Zhao Meng to put away his disbelief and was replaced by unconcealable shock!
It is said that when new people come out in large numbers, peaches and plums are fragrant.
Unexpectedly, someone really came out of his hands.
Zhao Meng watched the video, took a deep breath, and said seriously to the people under him: "You may also know that Fu Yu was recommended by the school to work in the kitchen after graduating from the chef school. He has only been working for nearly a year in total. time."
"When he first came here, like you, he started from a small job, and his daily task was to cut holes."
"Do you know why he quickly stands out among the crowd?"
After hearing Zhao Meng's words, the attention of others immediately shifted.
Especially the few workers who joined Fu Yu at the same time, their expressions were extremely complicated for a while.
In fact, in their opinion, the reason why Fu Yu was able to smoothly become a full-time employee and take over the job on his own was entirely because of Zhao Meng's temper and caught Zhao Meng's eyes.
With the support of a chef, you will naturally rise to the top.
However, looking at Fu Yu's cooking operations in the video.
The thoughts that were originally deep-rooted in their hearts began to waver.
Is it really what they think it is?
Zhao Meng continued: "It's not just because of his outstanding talent, but because he is very diligent and extremely capable. It's also a tiring day at work. What do you do after get off work? Go back to the dormitory to rest? Party with friends? I discovered right then that Fu Yu would secretly stay in the kitchen every night to practice knife skills."
"Every improvement he makes is not in vain. Even if the master is willing to take him in, if you want to make progress and achieve results in practice, you still have to work hard on your own."
"Which of you can do it, work overtime in the kitchen every day to practice your cooking skills, and still be able to handle the work the next day without looking tired? Who of you can do all the work I assign to you?"
"Fu Yu can do it. No matter how tired or hard he is, he never complains."
"So, many times, if you want to win the favor of others, in addition to being talented, you have to work hard enough."
"If you want to do a good job well, in addition to persistence, the most important thing is to do it out of love. Only if you truly love a job will you be willing to do it well."
As soon as Zhao Meng finished speaking, for some reason, almost everyone thought of Fu Yu's news today.
When I was watching the news at that time, I just thought that Fu Yu was quite strong. He could give up the opportunity of going to the Provincial Food Association to show his face and help the police crack down on the illegal workshop. Most people would definitely not be able to do this.
Now when I heard what Zhao Meng said, I suddenly realized that Fu Yu should really love his job as a chef and have a particularly positive attitude towards life.
Only in this way will he make a decisive choice when facing this matter.
Would it be possible for any one of them to do this?
We ask ourselves, it’s simply impossible.
Zhao Meng looked at the subordinates with different expressions around him and shook his head helplessly. Before he could continue, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Everyone in the room turned their heads and saw Gu Yunwu walking in with a smile.
