Fu Yu carefully checked the preparation of the ingredients and seasonings. When he turned around, he saw Yao Shi coming with Li He.
Fu Yu couldn't help but said in surprise: "Principal Li? Why are you here?"
Others in the kitchen went out after hearing the news, and then they remembered that Fu Yu had graduated from a chef school, and Li He was the principal when he was studying.
Zhang Zhen and Li He were also familiar with each other, so they smiled and said hello: "Principal Li!"
Li He responded with a smile, then turned to look at Fu Yu and said with a smile: "Xiao Fu, I heard from your chef Yao that you are now working part-time at the music restaurant to make medicinal food?"
Fu Yu nodded and smiled: "Yes, I just have this opportunity."
Li He smiled and said: "It's good. People are now more accepting of medicated diets. Chef Yao is particularly discerning in this area. You are right to follow him!"
"I came here this time because I wanted to talk to Chef Yao about the candidates for this year's intern recommendations. I heard he said you were making medicinal meals here, so I wanted to come over and have a look."
Fu Yu felt warm in his heart, Li He was a very responsible and capable person.
It was Li He who negotiated the opportunity for Fu Yu to intern at Chollima. When he participated in the selection process for full-time employment last year, Li He also put in good words for him.
Unexpectedly, Li He came here to see him.
Li He turned to look at Yao Shi and said with a smile: "Chef Yao really takes good care of you. I saw it when I was at Qianlima!"
Yao Shi hurriedly said: "The main thing is that Xiao Fu himself is very motivated and excellent."
Li He asked: "Since you admire him so much, why don't you transfer people to work here directly? He will follow you and train him well, and he may be able to move up in the future."
When Yao Shi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "I thought about it, but the key is that they won't let me go! Principal Li, you may not know it yet, but Xiao Fu is now the chef of Chollima!"
When Li He heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Fu Yu in disbelief: "What? Are you now the chef of Chollima?"
Fu Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it wasn't long after I brought it up."
Li He really didn't expect that Fu Yu, a new chef who had just become a full-time chef after not seeing him for half a year, would be promoted to a restaurant chef.
With Chollima's scale, being able to become a chef is quite extraordinary.
And how old is Fu Yu this year?
He became a chef in his early twenties. Was he promoted too quickly?
Yao Shi said with a smile: "Principal Li, you have been busy with student internship assignments recently. You may not know yet, but Fu Yu participated in this year's National Chef Competition and won the championship!"
As soon as these words came out, Li He was stunned.
"What? That champion turns out to be you!"
Li He looked at Fu Yu in disbelief.
He had heard Fu Yu's name frequently in the past two days.
However, there were many people with the same name, so he didn't care after hearing it.
After all, that was the champion of the National Chef Competition.
Although Fu Yu is excellent.
but
It was difficult for Li He to think of Fu Yu as the national champion.
He looked at Fu Yu, who was still as humble, polite and outstanding as before.
He had always thought that Fu Yu was a very talented person, but he never expected that he would be so good!
Who would have thought that this boy who just graduated from chef school two years ago would now successfully serve as a restaurant chef and successfully win the national chef competition.
Thinking of this, Li He couldn't help but look at Fu Yu and couldn't help but praise: "What a good boy!"
Fu Yu hurriedly said: "The main thing is that the training in the school is good. The teachers are serious and responsible. After I arrived at Qianlima, Chef Yao and Chef Zhao also took great care of me."
Li He nodded and said with great relief: "Indeed, you have noble people helping you along the way!"
After saying that, he glanced at the kitchen table filled with ingredients, and Li He smiled: "You go about your business, and I'll be watching to see how your cooking level is now."
At this time, Yao Shi suddenly said with a smile: "Xiao Fu is very profitable in making medicated diets, and he is now a special consultant of the National Medicinal Diet Research Association."
As soon as these words came out, Li He was dumbfounded.
"It seems that you are very proficient in these medicinal foods, right?"
Fu Yu smiled sheepishly. Of course he was not proficient, but he had a system to help him open cheats all the way, and his level skyrocketed.
Fu Yu smiled modestly: "I'm still in the learning stage, so I'm not very proficient."
After hearing this, Li He didn't know what to say for a moment.
You have been invited by the National Medicinal Diet Research Association, but you are still not proficient?
Seeing that the two of them were chatting, Yao Shi quickly interrupted: "Well, Principal Li, the customers for the medicinal food are still waiting in the front hall. Xiaofu had better hurry up and cook. Besides, don't we have to talk about it later?" Is it something arranged by the intern?"
When it came to business, Li He immediately said: "That's right, Xiao Fu, you are busy with your business and don't worry about me. I can also observe the operation of medicinal food cooking."
Fu Yu didn't waste any more time. After checking the preparation of the ingredients, he started cooking.
Li He stood in front of the kitchen counter, stretched his head to look at the prepared ingredients, and suddenly asked: "What kind of medicinal food are you preparing for?"
Without waiting for Fu Yu to answer, Yao Shi introduced: "A medicated banquet with three dishes, one soup and one staple food. The dishes are lotus blood duck, fish balls in clear soup, three non-stick dishes, shredded roses, and braised beef."
Li He was obviously taken aback: "It sounds like they are all made of ordinary ingredients?"
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t medicated meals be dishes cooked with medicinal materials?
Yao Shi nodded: "Yes, the custom-made customer for this medicated meal banquet is a young girl who is still studying. Xiao Fu is concerned about this, so the customized medicated diet banquet is mainly based on dietary therapy, and no Chinese herbal medicines are added."
So that's it.
Li Hyuk nodded, understanding.
After all, there is an old saying that medicine is divided into three parts poison, and this is also for the health of customers.
Although Li He was a little surprised when Fu Yu started to learn how to cook medicinal meals, at this time, he was more curious about how to cook these medicinal meals that did not contain any Chinese medicinal materials.
The worker in charge of helping Fu Yu today is Tian Lei.
Tian Lei is Chef Lin's apprentice. He has a solid foundation in cooking and works very seriously.
However, his personality is very similar to that of his master, Chef Lin. They are both relatively straightforward people without too many complicated thoughts.
Such people actually get along well as friends in life.
But in daily work, Zhou Yesong is still flexible and transparent, which makes us more comfortable to work with.
When Fu Yu cooks dishes, he always allocates operations according to the length of time.
The first medicinal meal he planned to make was braised beef.
Fu Yu casually took the basin of beef and turned to look at Tian Lei.
Tian Lei hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Fu Chu, what's wrong?"
Tian Lei hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Fu Chu, what's wrong?"
Fu Yu glanced at Tian Lei again, then silently put down the basin of fresh beef, and replaced the cutting board in front of him with the one specially used for cutting raw meat.
No matter how good your character is and you don’t wink, it’s really not easy to worry about being a cook and following you around!
The braised beef dish is not a local dish in Bei'an. When Fu Yu cooked it, he completely followed the classic old recipes.
He washed the beef, cut it into small pieces, and boiled it in water.
Taking advantage of this time, Fu Yu put a little old glutinous rice wine and salt into the bowl of fresh duck blood, and mixed the blood evenly to prevent the blood from coagulating.
Then chop the slaughtered and washed duck into dices and set aside.
At this time, the beef in the pot has been cooked until there is almost no blood left.
He directly ordered Tian Lei to take out the beef and put it on a tray to cool.
He turned around, diced the chili, ginger, and garlic, poured tea oil into the pot, and began to braise the duck.
After watching Fu Yu's cooking operations, many people will have a very clear sensory impression, that is, watching Fu Yu's cooking is a very enjoyable thing.
Both the posture and movements are beautiful and smooth.
Li He looked at Fu Yu Dianshao, and suddenly remembered the scene deep in his memory.
When Fu Yu first took part in the full-time examination, he had done the operation of turning the spoon. It looked very beautiful at the time, and the details were also handled very well.
But compared with the smooth and skillful spoon-bumping operation in front of him, Fu Yu has obviously made another qualitative leap.
Progress is too fast.
Fu Yu added the seasoning very quickly, so no one noticed for a while. He only lightly added a small amount of chili pepper to this dish.
After all, it is a conditioning medicinal diet, and the spicy and stimulating taste needs to be properly controlled.
Fu Yu continued to stir the spoon, and after the water in the pot had dried up, he added a little old glutinous rice wine and soy sauce, and then poured in water.
In the process of pouring water, Fu Yu actually still had a measured pause.
But because his hand speed is too fast and he is becoming more and more skilled in operation, the error when adding water is getting smaller and smaller.
When it comes to how much water to add as indicated by the green line, there is almost no need to make major adjustments.
In the eyes of others, he just poured water into the pot very casually, and the water level just covered the duck.
If you control the amount of water just right, you will see that you have done more. Practice makes perfect.
After mixing the water, Fu Yu added an appropriate amount of salt to the pot, then covered the pot and started stewing.
Although Tian Lei is very diligent and capable, for Fu Yu, he is really not very useful as a kitchen helper.
So he casually asked Tian Lei to come over and keep an eye on the heat, while he cut the cooled beef into cubes, added a little vegetable oil to heat it, added ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns, stir-fry until fragrant, then added the beef and stir-fried.
While stir-frying, add dark soy sauce, cooking wine and sugar, and stir-fry until the water is dry.
Finally, pour the beef into the pressure cooker, add the spices into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water, submerge the beef, and simmer over medium-low heat until steam comes out.
Seeing that the two hard dishes were already on the stove.
Everyone present subconsciously thought that the next dish must be fish balls in clear soup, or three-no-stick dishes.
After all, as soon as you hear the name of the dish, you can tell that it is a quick dish.
Moreover, this herbal dish is a dessert and must be served last.
Sure enough, Fu Yu took the dough that he had specially taken from Bai An when he asked the waiter to prepare the dishes.
Among the whole table of medicated meals, only three non-stick dishes are the staple food, and judging from the name, they should be noodles.
Right now, you should be planning to do three things, right?
Li He watched Fu Yu take the dough, but couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Fu, aren't you planning to make a three-part meal?"
Although Li He has never eaten Sanbuji, he has seen related video content on the Internet.
If I remember correctly, San Bu Tie should be cooked with eggs as the main ingredient, and no flour is used at all.
Fu Yu kept moving his hands and picked off a piece of dough as big as a steamed bun. He raised his head and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm making a lotus blood duck."
What?
Are you actually making a lotus blood duck?
Compared with the less common dish of San Bu Tian, the dish of Lotus Blood Duck has become popular all over the country as it was rated as one of the top ten most classic local dishes in the country in the past few years.
Many Jiangxi restaurants operating out of town will set this dish as a special dish, making it almost a must-try dish when visiting the restaurant.
It is precisely because of the popularity of this dish that everyone knows that this lotus blood duck is a dish made with duck and duck blood as the main ingredients.
There is no need to use flour when cooking the entire dish.
What is Fu Yu planning to do?
Just when everyone was getting suspicious, Fu Yu had already rolled the dough into a round piece, cut it eight times, and pressed stripes in the middle of the eight rows.
He twisted the stripes very quickly and pinched the middle of the stripes. Then he cut the round dough piece into two pieces, overlapped them and rolled them up to use as the lotus flower core.
Then cut the rolled dough into thin slices, gently pull the slices apart, and roll them upward to form a three-dimensional lotus shape.
Fu Yu's move was really unexpected.
Apparently, he planned to place the cooked duck directly on top of the lotus pastry.
This is so creative!
He actually thought of turning the name of the dish into the shape of the plate!
Even though the entire medicinal meal had not been cooked yet, Li He couldn't help but sigh, this guy is quite capable!
The process of kneading lotus flowers is a delicate and skillful job.
Every kneading operation must ensure the accuracy of curvature and thickness, without the slightest deviation.
Because it is pasta itself and needs to be steamed, the size after shaping must be estimated in advance.
This is a skill that tests the chef's presentation skills.
In the past, Fu Yu might not have truly understood the core content of noodle cooking even if he had the personal skills of an intermediate noodle maker.
However, he is completely different now!
Through this period of skill improvement and repeated training and learning in teaching practice classes, Fu Yu is no longer limited to the form when accepting any personal skill, but begins to understand the operation of personal skills. In terms of methods and details, there is an increasingly precise feeling.
Secondly, Fu Yu also has a rapid improvement in finger flexibility.
The two merged into one, Fu Yu's skills in kneading the dough became faster and faster, and the shaping effect became better and better.
Fu Yu feels that if he learns more and more skills in Bai An and masters them more and more comprehensively, he might really be able to consider Bai An Master when he transfers to his next professional skill! (End of chapter)
