Add longan meat.”

"Why do you guess longan meat?"

"Because I have drunk a lot of chicken broth by Master Huang, the taste is a little different from yours. Your taste is obviously richer and more mellow. I must have added some ingredients, so I guess it may be longan meat.

”

Cao Guixiang nodded with a smile: "That's right, it's almost the same. Xiao Qin, although you are not good at knife skills and fire skills, and your basic knowledge is not broad enough, you are very smart."

Qin Huai thought Cao Guixiang was praising herself, and Master Cao was praising herself whatever she said.

"My master is the descendant of Tanjiacai." Cao Guixiang suddenly began to introduce herself, "There are many big and good dishes in Tanjiacai, all of which are soup dishes, so the first thing you need to practice when learning Tanjiacai is to practice soup."

"Practicing hanging soup is actually also practicing fireworks."

"I want to make the dishes well. It is not enough to have a pot of good stock alone. Knife work is also very important. Knife work is not simply chopping the vegetables, cutting them well, chopping them into shredded meat, minced meat, shredded, cut into pieces, and slice them.

”

"The knife skills actually make the ingredients more suitable for this dish, so that the ingredients can be absorbed better, and can be fully cooked."

"So knife skills are the basic skills. Every chef practices knife skills at the beginning. He has to learn how to cut vegetables before he can learn how to cook."

"Whether it is a chef in the Bai Cen or a chef in the Hong Cen need to practice knife skills. The process of practicing knife skills is to understand the food. Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated. If the chef does not even understand the ingredients enough, how can he cook them well?"

Qin Huai nodded with deep emotion. In fact, he had never thought that knife skills were particularly important before, especially on the white table.

But last time Cao Guixiang chopped some meat filling and chopped Sixi Tangtuo to A-level. Qin Huai realized that it was not that the knife skills were not important, but that he had never seen important knife skills at all.

Cao Guixiang continued: "You have a good tongue. Without systematic study, good basic skills, and learning from famous teachers since childhood, you can rely on your tongue, experience and guesses to just do it.

The raw materials of the broth are quite similar."

"If you had been born forty years, and you would have been discovered by my master when you went to Yongheju to steal food like me, my master would have chased you into your house and taken you as a closed disciple."

"If I were 30 years younger, I would definitely be shameless and report myself to my home, brag about the history of our Tan Family Cooking, and then accept you as your disciple."

"But you no longer need a master now. I, an old lady who has been retired for many years, don't have the time or energy to accept apprentices."

"But I can at least help you where I do best."

"Your knife skills are really bad, just like an apprentice who just went into the kitchen to do odd jobs. The apprentice's knife skills may be better than you. Back then, many apprentices in Yongheju also helped cut vegetables at home since childhood.

of."

"Didn't your Master Huang and Master Zheng think of taking you to practice knife skills?"

Qin Huai felt that he needed to help Huang Shengli and Zheng Da defend: "Maybe because I have too many things to learn, Master Huang and Master Zheng didn't have time to teach me the sword skills."

"I heard that you are running a community canteen in Shan City now, so I guess you don't have much time to stay here to practice basic skills."

"But you are also a mature chef, and you don't need to start from scratch like an apprentice."

"Your Master Huang took online classes with you before, right?"

Qin Huai nodded: "Yes, I took online classes for a while, and I will go to Gusu to exchange and learn offline teaching."

"Then I may have to do the other way around. You have to study with me for a few days before you can take online classes."

"I asked my Lao Zhang to make 6 cutting boards for you. If you cut all the 6 cutting boards into pieces, your knife skills will be ready."

Qin Huai was stunned.

Master Cao took the initiative to make Xiao Qin not know what to say for a moment, so he could only open his mouth slightly and say:

"ah?"

In a place that Qinhuai could not see, Cao Guixiang turned her back and cursed herself silently in annoyance.

‘Cao Guixiang, Cao Guixiang, didn’t you compile all the lyrics last night? Why did you forget all the words today? What did you say just now?’

‘Xiao Qin wouldn’t think you are an old lady with a bad brain, right?’

Cao Guixiang grinned and regretted for two seconds, and came up with a wonderful way to remedy it.

Cao Guixiang walked to the inside and never lifted the cover from beginning to end. She had already started to simmer in low heat since the early morning. She had been in front of the braised shark fin that had been stuffed for at least 9 hours.

Removing the cover.

The fragrance ripples everywhere.

Cao Guixiang looked at Qin Huai with a smile, just like when her master wanted to accept her as his disciple and looked at her with a smile, she said exactly the same words.

"Our Tan family food is delicious."
