Now suddenly receiving a call from Xu Zebang, Yao Shi quickly answered the phone: "Zebang? Why did you call me suddenly?"
Xu Zebang said straight to the point: "Brother Yao, my dad hasn't been able to rest well these past few days, and he can't eat. He looks very haggard, and he's always low on energy..."
Yao Shi was stunned and quickly interrupted: "Uncle Xu is not feeling well. Do you need to go to the hospital for treatment quickly?"
Xu Ning is nearly seventy years old this year. The old man has always been in good health, and because he is a soup maker, he likes to make some soups and water for nourishment, so his mental state has always been good.
Something suddenly happened, and at this age, Yao Shi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately became a little anxious.
Xu Zebang explained: "I took my dad to the hospital. The doctor said he had weak spleen and kidneys and prescribed some medicine, but the old man refused to take it. He said it was three-part poison and wanted to make soup by himself. "
"The key is that the soups he makes are all home-cooked soups, and they don't cure diseases at all! No matter how my mother and I try to persuade him, my father just won't listen. I really have no choice. Brother Yao, when will you have time? , come over to my house and help persuade my dad!"
"Doctors have said that if the elderly suffer from spleen and kidney deficiency, they must be treated quickly, otherwise a series of complications will occur. Moreover, he has been unable to sleep for a long time, and his body cannot bear it. !”
Yao Shi's expression changed when he heard that Mr. Xu couldn't sleep all night long.
The old man is almost seventy. As he gets older, all kinds of diseases that he suffered from when he was young have started to appear.
This body's bones are already weak, so how could it withstand such a hard work?
Yao Shi asked Mr. Xu carefully about his specific situation, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
This man is old, like a child, very disobedient.
Especially Mr. Xu is very stubborn to begin with. If he decides on something, he won't be able to pull him back!
When Mr. Xu was young, he was actually pretty good and didn't hide his illness so much. Perhaps because he is getting older now, he has become more stubborn.
Yao Shi knew Mr. Xu's character very well, so after hearing what Xu Zebang said, he couldn't help but join in the trouble.
If Mr. Xu is so easy to persuade, why would his family be so anxious and angry?
How can I persuade you to do this?
Suddenly, he thought of Fu Yu. Since he refused to take medicine, there would be no problem eating, right?
Fu Yu's medicated diet is getting better and better now, maybe... you can find him.
Thinking of this, Yao Shi hurriedly said: "Zebang, with Uncle Xu's temper, even if I went over to help persuade him, it would probably have no effect. However, there is a herbal chef in my store who is very good at preparing herbal meals. Why not let Xu Uncle, go over and give it a try."
"Let's see, I happen to be going to the store tomorrow. Don't mention taking medicinal food. Just say that you are taking Uncle Xu to my store for dinner. Let's all have a good time together. Don't forget to take all the medical records by then. Bring it over and let the herbal diet master take a look and see if he can help customize a medicated diet process based on Uncle Xu's situation."
When Xu Zebang heard Yao Shi's words, he was dumbfounded. After all...when he was sick, instead of following the doctor's advice and taking medicine, he had to listen to a chef's advice and take medicated food to treat the disease?
What's the difference between this and his father who refuses to take medicine and only wants to figure out how to make soup and nurse himself back to health?
Xu Zebang has a very close relationship with Yao Shi. He thinks in his heart and says it out loud.
Seeing Xu Zebang like this, Yao Shi hurriedly persuaded: "Zebang, we have been friends for so many years, I will definitely not cheat Uncle Xu. The medicated diet chef in my shop is not an ordinary person. He is a special consultant of the National Medicinal Diet Research Association. , many prominent figures and their families in this city are queuing up to make reservations for medicinal meals with him."
"Since Uncle Xu refuses to take medicine and cooperate with the treatment, it is useless for anyone to persuade him, so it is better to try the medicated diet treatment. At that time, I will be responsible for arranging for the medicated diet master to take a look and properly customize the treatment. He will definitely I can take care of Uncle Xu’s problems!”
Because of his personal experience, Yao Shi has always kept his words to himself, which made him willing to guarantee his vote and make a commitment. This shows that he really trusts and respects this herbal chef.
Just as Yao Shi knew the Xu family, Xu Zebang also knew Yao Shi's character very well. Hearing this, he felt a little more at ease and quickly responded: "Okay, Brother Yao, I will do as you say. I will take my dad with me tomorrow." Go to a music restaurant."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Shi adjusted the heat of the stew and then turned to find Fu Yu.
Passing by Zhao Meng's kitchen counter, I heard Zhao Meng Zheng teaching Sun Qingning: "Fire control is your weakness. If you want to master this aspect, it's useless to rush. You have to work harder on oiling. "
"Frying actually tests the chef's control of the heat the most. Otherwise, why would a worker be promoted to a chef? The most he would do in the transitional stage would be the second pass of oiling. This all makes sense..."
Sun Qingning nodded, secretly surprised.
It turns out that the purpose of doing oil work is to exercise their ability to control fire!
He thought he was simply using them as labor force.
After all, the laborer has just started working in the kitchen and lacks cooking experience, so he can only do simple tasks such as oiling.
After working for a period of time and gaining experience, you can do the oiling twice.
The chef cannot do all the preparation work before cooking.
Now that Zhao Meng said this, Sun Qingning realized that by cooking the oil twice, he was actually practicing his cooking skills.
Thinking of this, Sun Qingning immediately promised: "Chef Zhao, don't worry, I will do the oiling work twice as long as I have time in the future!"
Zhao Meng nodded: "Opportunities like today will come again in the future. You can work hard with Fu Yu and observe and learn more. To be honest, such an opportunity is really rare. If you seize it, It is said that there will be progress in cooking, but also in terms of interpersonal communication, it will also benefit a lot..."
Just as he was talking, Zhao Meng saw Yao Shi coming, so mid-sentence, he turned around and asked, "Chef Yao, what's wrong?"
Yao Shi waved his hand: "I have something to do with Xiao Fu. By the way, he hasn't taken the day off this week, right?"
Zhao Meng understood as soon as he heard it and said quickly: "No, I can schedule these two days. He can take any day off."
Yao Shi nodded: "Then let him rest tomorrow."
Zhao Meng responded: "Okay, I'll arrange it."
After the two finalized Fu Yu's rest arrangements, Yao Shi went to find someone.
Fu Yu didn't know this at all. There was a gap between his kitchen counter and Zhao Meng. Normally, he had to shout at the top of his lungs to communicate, otherwise he would just go up and talk face to face.
The chef's voice was really noisy, and Fu Yu still didn't notice it until Yao Shi came closer.
He was currently focusing on cooking the dish at hand.
Stewed willow root with perilla is a very popular anchovy dish in the restaurant.
Although the squid is only one of the 18 fish in the "Sanhua, Wuluo, 18, and Twelve Miscellaneous Fishes", in fact, the meat quality of the squid is not inferior to that of the squid.
At least in Bei'an, it is considered a treasure among river fish.
Home-cooked squid is usually stewed in sauce, but Chollima uses perilla to stew squid.
There is a skill in stewing this dish. The taste of perilla can remove the fishy smell of the fish and make the fish more delicious.
The vermicelli served as a side dish has absorbed the essence of the fish soup. It is obviously a side dish in the fish stew, but it is even more delicious than the fish.
Fu Yu had just spread the willow root fish into the pot and was about to get the cooking wine when he accidentally looked up and realized that Yao Shi had come over at some point.
Fu Yu quickly called out: "Yao Chu!"
Yao Shi nodded: "I have something to ask you."
When Fu Yu heard this, he quickly speeded up his movements.
After cooking the cooking wine, add a little more light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and finally add hot water just enough to cover the fish body.
Seeing that the hot water reached the water level marked by the green line, Fu Yu quickly added sugar and bean paste.
While the fish was stewing in the pot over medium heat, Fu Yu took the time to follow Yao Shi to a quiet place to talk.
Yao Shi explained Mr. Xu's situation in detail, and specifically emphasized to Fu Yu: "Mr. Xu was my master's best friend during his lifetime. Now that he is in poor health, I am also very worried. I just wonder if you can help me." Help me customize the medicinal diet and give him a good meal."
After hearing what Yao Shi said, Fu Yu frowned.
Want to customize a medicinal diet to treat weak spleen and kidneys?
He has really never been exposed to this aspect.
With just an incomplete list of the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (1), he really couldn't guarantee that he could help Mr. Xu customize a medicinal meal with significant curative effects.
However, Yao Shi has already said that to him, Mr. Xu is no different from his own uncle.
Even for Yao Shi's sake, this custom-made medicinal diet order cannot be passed up.
Thinking of this, Fu Yu glanced at Yao Shi, that's it!
Even if Yao Shi usually takes care of and helps him, he will definitely help him with the personal skills he has learned from Yao Shi.
Fu Yu nodded: "Okay, Chef Yao, don't worry, I will definitely do my best tomorrow."
Yao Shi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Fu Yu's promise.
He didn't even realize that since then, he had grown to trust and respect Yu's ability in medicinal food.
As long as Fu Yu personally guarantees something, he will subconsciously think that it will be done well and there will be no problems.
Yao Shi said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about the customization of ingredients and medicinal materials for medicated diet. As long as it is suitable for the symptoms, price is not an issue."
Yao Shi was in a good mood because the most worrying matter was solved so smoothly. He made an appointment with Fu Yu about the specific time to go to the music restaurant tomorrow, and then left briskly.
After watching Yao Shi leave, Fu Yu returned to his kitchen counter. He did not rush to start cooking immediately, but took the time to check his attribute panel first.
At present, he still has Yao Shi's advanced personal skill reward that he has not yet received, as well as a key to the teaching practice class of his choice.
After confirming the mission rewards that he could use, Fu Yu did not hesitate and directly chose the medicinal cooking teaching practice class for treating spleen and kidney weakness.
After choosing the course, Fu Yu was relieved. Fortunately, there was a course on medicinal cooking in the teaching practice class.
Otherwise, he can only refer to the list of traditional Chinese medicine effects (1) and research and customize the medicinal diet on his own.
After redeeming the course, Fu Yu was not in a hurry to enter the teaching practice class, but continued to take orders and cook step by step.
Anyway, the learning process in the teaching practice classroom will not affect the progress of real time, so just find an opportunity to enter the system space before tomorrow morning.
As for wasting a precious key to a self-selected teaching practice course, Fu Yu didn't feel bad.
After all, spleen and kidney weakness is also a relatively common disease. Sooner or later, I will encounter customers with this kind of disease, so there is no harm in learning early.
"Fu Chu, Chong Chong Fish is ready!"
Zhang Jiaxin brought the prepared ingredients over.
Fu Yu checked it and made sure it was correct before he started cooking.
Chongchong fish is the customary name of the local people in Bei'an. In fact, when outsiders know this kind of river fish, they usually call it the double-lipped fish.
In the county where Fu Yu's hometown is located, every household has a lot of river fish dishes on their dining tables during the river season.
And Jiang Ma especially likes to eat insect fish.
The main reason is that Chong Chong has few fish bones, is easy to eat, and the meat is delicate, garlic-shaped and has no fishy smell.
In Bei'an, there is a special dialect used to describe insect fish, called "the head of silver carp and bighead carp, the tail of carp, delicious but not heavy-lipped fish".
The sauce-flavored insect fish made by Qianlima is particularly popular among diners because of its high quality and low price.
The insect fish chosen by the customer is quite fat.
Fu Yu skillfully cut the cleaned fish into two pieces.
The most fearful thing about chopped fish is that the joints are not complete, which will affect the appearance of the fish when presented on the plate.
Fu Yu didn't have to worry at all in this regard. Every time like this, he had the urge to kiss his kitchen knife.
The effect of cutting iron like mud is no joke. The fish bone breaks cleanly with one cut, without any broken bones, and the cross-section is surprisingly smooth.
Fu Yu put a little oil in the pot, heated it to 70%, put in the fish and fried it until both sides were golden, then served it out.
Then use the bottom oil in the pot to add aniseed, pepper, onion, ginger, garlic bean paste, etc. and stir-fry until fragrant. Then put the fried fish into the pot, cook in cooking wine, add sugar and other seasonings, add water and cook.
Add a little salt and coriander before serving.
Chollima's recipe also adds cabbage and baby cabbage to the side dishes.
The side dishes stewed in this way are also particularly delicious.
Before getting off work in the evening, Zhao Meng took the time to come over and mentioned to Fu Yu about the day off tomorrow.
At that time, there were many people talking in the kitchen, Yao Shi did not explain carefully, and Zhao Meng failed to find out what happened.
Fu Yu told the story exactly as it happened.
Hearing that the medicinal diet was customized for Mr. Xu, Zhao Meng suddenly realized that he also knew something about Yao Shi and the Xu family.
So I talked to Fu Yu in detail, and even held him accountable for a long time.
Fu Yu looked at Zhao Meng, who cared so much about him, and felt very close to him.
Zhao Meng said that Yao Shi regarded Mr. Xu as his elder.
In fact, he regarded Zhao Meng as a relative.
