While Mag explained to Phyllis, she continued to visit the beef shop. Phyllis listened attentively. She was completely accustomed to the smell and scene of the wet market. She would ask questions when she didn't understand something, and Mag also listened. Answer one by one.
After visiting five beef shops in a row, Mag only bought two pieces of beef brain meat that he liked. He said with a smile: "It's not bad to find two pieces at the vegetable market at noon. It's just enough to practice." .”
"Then when is the best time to come to the vegetable market?" Phyllis asked curiously.
Mag smiled and replied: "The early morning is naturally the best, when the ingredients are the freshest. But the real experts come in the early morning. At that time, these bosses have just started working, and you can see a whole cow. What kind of food, how good is the quality, and the ingredients that have just been slaughtered and taken away immediately for later use are definitely the best."
"My brother is also an expert. The lights in the vegetable market just turned on this early in the morning, and the people responsible for purchasing from the big and small restaurants were guarding outside. Before the cow was killed, someone had determined the parts first. Good things like kidneys, if not I really can’t buy it if I hurry up.” The owner of the beef shop nearby said with a smile.
"In order to get fresh ingredients, do you actually need to go to the vegetable market early in the morning..." Phyllis felt a little incredible. She looked at Mag with even more admiration. With Mag's attitude towards food, there must be some among those people. he.
"Ingredients are the basis of a dish. Even if a chef can make delicious food with low-quality ingredients, the dish must still be imperfect in his heart." Mag nodded.
"Does excellent ingredients refer to ingredients that are expensive and very precious?" Phyllis asked again.
Mag shook his head slightly and said: "Excellent ingredients are not about chasing prices and cherishing them. It is meaningless to put phoenix eggs in egg fried rice for ordinary people. For a restaurant, suitability is more important than preciousness. In the positioning of the restaurant , looking for the best ingredients at this price, this is the basic ability of a good chef.”
"Locate the best ingredients at the right price..." Phyllis had some realization.
There are many varieties of vegetables in the wet market, including common vegetables such as radish, cabbage, and green vegetables. Vegetables unique to other worlds such as Hericium and Overlord vegetables also opened his eyes, but he didn't think about how to cook them for a while. What vegetables are suitable.
The system's saying, "You have to go ahead even if you don't have any conditions" has made it very clear. When it comes to being number one on the vegetable list, he can only rely on himself.
The system probably wanted to test his originality.
He still couldn't do such a shameful thing as wearing women's clothes and dancing in the Pure Land in front of the restaurant.
Mag has memorized all the vegetable varieties. After I go back, I will think carefully about whether there is anything I can do among the dishes I have eaten before. Without systematic bonuses, there is still pressure.
"Go back. If you can't make a qualified sauce today, you won't need these two pieces of beef." Mag bought several spices at the spice stall, and then took Phyllis back to the restaurant.
"Are you sure you want to be a chef?" Mag tied an apron on herself, stopped at the door of the kitchen, and looked back at Phyllis who was tying her apron and asked.
Felice was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
"Very good, I hope you can become an excellent chef as soon as possible, so that you can become a regular employee in advance and double your salary." Mag said with a smile and went directly into the kitchen.
"Grilled beef skewers, the control of the heat requires constant contact and slowly finding the feeling. Before that, the most critical step is the preparation of the sauce."
"Sauce is the soul of grilled beef skewers. Anyone can grill beef skewers, but grilled beef skewers eaten in a hundred places have a hundred flavors, and the difference lies in the sauce. So, one A great sauce will determine the height of your grilled beef kebabs.”
Mag laid out the newly bought spices today and looked at Felice.
"So how should the sauce be prepared?" Phyllis looked at Mag nervously, not expecting to start teaching so soon.
"The sauce I make has three flavors: spicy, soy sauce, and garlic. The beef skewers currently sold in the restaurant also have these three flavors, which can cover most customer tastes." Mag smiled. Said: "Of course, if you can prepare more interesting flavors in the future and get the approval of the guests, it is naturally possible, but now you need to follow me to learn how to prepare these three flavors of sauce, and go deep into it." of knowing all the spices.”
"Okay." Phyllis nodded. She rarely adds spices to her cooking, and only adds a little salt, so she doesn't know much about those spices that exude strange aromas.
Mag put the beef in the refrigerator, and then explained the spices to Phyllis slowly.
Of course, the best teacher for a chef is the tongue and nose. After chewing dozens of peppercorns, Felice, who was blushing, had a deep understanding of what spicy food is.
Mag's goal for Felice today was to make a sauce with a soy sauce flavor. After explaining to her in detail the order in which each spice should be added, the amount to be added and the time interval between each other, Mag went straight out. Kitchen, hand over the stage to Phyllis.
In order to prepare a sauce that satisfies the system, Mag spent dozens of days preparing it in the God of Cooking training ground, so he didn't have much hope that Felice could prepare a sauce that satisfied him in one afternoon. .
Mag took a pen and paper and put it on the table, then poured himself a pot of tea. Mag sat leisurely. As expected, sitting outside was much more enjoyable than standing inside.
Mag soon began to think about the vegetables he had eaten in his previous life that impressed him deeply.
"Hot and sour shredded potatoes, braised bamboo shoots in oil, braised baby cabbage in soy sauce, fried golden corn..." One dish after another floated through Mag's mind. Indeed, many of them brought him surprises, but to say that he was capable He is not so confident about defeating all the restaurants in Aden Square and reaching the top of the vegetable list.
"Which one should I choose?" Mag was thinking and undecided when he suddenly raised his eyes and glanced towards the kitchen, his eyes widening in unison.
In the kitchen, spices flew up from the bag and formed a thread, spinning quickly around Felice, like a ribbon, which was very magical.
A light cyan light enveloped Felice's body, her eyes were closed tightly, as if she was meditating.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes.
Spices flew out from the ribbon and landed accurately in the bowl in front of her. The soy sauce bottle floated up, the lid opened automatically, and then a little was poured. More bottles and jars were opened, and various spices were mixed in an orderly manner. into the big bowl.
Mag: "..."
