After lunch the next day, while everyone else was resting, Jiang Yu and Jia Dequan closed the door and hid in the side dish room.

"Do you want to learn which cooking skill is good at learning?"

After entering the side dish room, Judquan took a kitchen knife from the knife holder, held it in his hand and weighed it. He looked up at Jiang Yu and said with a smile,

"You don't have to think so much. You are not the only one participating in the cooking performance. There are several chefs. Generally speaking, one person can perform one program. So, if you learn a "unique skill" well, it's enough.

A show of performance like this is just about attracting people. Otherwise, why do you think those chefs still practice turning noodles on unicycle and stilt ramen? It’s just about attracting attention!

Of course, that kind of thing is flashy and unreal, let’s not play that one!”

Jiang Yu asked, "Well, then which one do you think I'm more suitable to learn?"

"If you really don't know what to learn, then just learn to cut radish fishing net cafes."

Jia Dequan thought about it and made a decision for Jiang Yu. He smiled "hehe" and said,

"This is actually not a 'unique skill'. As long as you master the skills, ordinary people can cut it out, but if you don't know the skills, you can't cut it out no matter how good the knife skills are.

But I have already said before that the cooking performance is to attract attention. When you see a fishing net that can cut radishes into fishing nets for the first time, people who are not sure will be shocked to stare out their eyes!"

"Then learn this."

Jiang Yu nodded without thinking and responding, he said with a smile,

"Actually, I'm quite curious about how to cut a radish into a hole like a fishing net."

"Then you have to stare at a while." Lan

Judquan didn't say it clearly, and he laughed, turned around and took out a carrot from the preservation cabinet, washed it, removed the head and tail with a knife, left the middle section, then raised his head and smiled at Jiang Yu, reminding him,

"I'm starting!"

As soon as Jia Dequan started to use the knife, Jiang Yu stared at his eyes, carefully observing every move and detail of his carrots. At the same time, Jiang Yu was also silently calculating in his heart.

If you divide a carrot into four sides, the front facing up is the A side, the front facing down is the C side, and the left and right sides are the B and D side, then, by this division, look at the carrot cutting method that seems a bit chaotic is almost clear at a glance.

He first cut a thin knife on the a side, and this knife is also of particular importance, that is, it cannot exceed the center of the carrot. After cutting this knife, turn the carrot 180 degrees, and then cut it thinly on the c side, and it cannot exceed the center of the circle.

Then flip 90 degrees, cut a knife on the b side, then flip 180 degrees, and use a knife on the d side.

The whole carrot is cut in the order of a-c-b-d. Each injector needs to be consistent in thickness, and the degree of cutting of each knife cannot exceed the center of the carrot.

After all, Judquan is a top cooking master in China. His swordsmanship is naturally superb. It doesn't take long for a short carrot to be in his hands.

He kept spinning the carrots with one hand, and kept drilling the kitchen knife in the other hand. The movement was so fast that it flew up, making Jiang Yu dazzled. In just a dozen breaths, he cut the whole carrot.

"Did you see clearly?"

After completing the knife action, Jia Dequan raised his head and glanced at Jiang Yu with a smile.

In his hand, the carrot looked complete at first glance, but in fact it had been cut to a point of being "bruised all over". It looked a bit like a straw raincoat cucumber, but in fact, the cutting method of the two was different.

Hearing Jia Dequan's question, Jiang Yu thought about his movements in his mind, nodded slightly, and said with a little hesitation:

"Yeah, it's almost the same." Lan

"Oh? Have you really seen it clearly?"

Judquan seemed a little surprised, raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yu, then said with a smile,

"That's good, next I'll continue to operate."

As he said that, he picked up the carrot that had been cut again, placed it flat on the cutting board, and slowly turned around the circle, while using a flat knife method to slice the carrots down a thin layer.

This cutting method is a bit like peeling an apple. It is slow and careful to ensure that it will not be cut off halfway through. Keep the carrot slices on the heart of the radish, and this is the completion.

After slicing a whole carrot, Judquan reached out and scooped some salt from the side, sprinkled it on the spread carrot slices, then rolled the carrot slices as they were, put them in your hand and gently held them so that the salt could penetrate into the carrots.

While operating, Jia Dequan asked Jiang Yu with a smile: "Do you know what the purpose of doing this?" Lan

“Let the carrots soften.”

Jiang Yu knew that Jia Dequan was asking about the purpose of sprinkling salt. The salt would cause the radish to precipitate moisture, and the radish that lost water would naturally become soft.

"Well, after the carrots become soft, it's time to witness the miracle!"

Judquan smiled at Jiangyu, put the carrots that had begun to seep out of water on the cutting board, and slowly spread it along the place where it was rolled up.

After the carrots were completely spread out, Judquan stretched out his hands, gently pinched both sides of the carrot slices, and pulled them out slightly. A carrot "fishing net" with bright red color and distinct grids instantly appeared in front of Jiang Yu.

"It turns out that's how the 'fishing net' is cut out!"

Jiang Yu looked at the carrot "fishing net" spread in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but lit up.

The lines of the "fishing net" are consistent in thickness, and they are straight and crossed. The grid of the "fishing net" is diamond-shaped, uniform and delicate, and looks like a real fishing net.

The effect of this "unique skill" in cooking is indeed quite shocking, but it is not complicated to do. As Judquan said before, as long as he masters the cutting method, even ordinary people can easily cut out the "fishing net".

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, the process of using a blade carrot is still a bit dangerous. If a person who is not skilled in the knife skills, once his strength is not mastered properly, he might cut his hand.

"Do you want to try?"

Judquan looked a little surprised when he looked at Jiang Yu, and couldn't help laughing. He put the kitchen knife on the chopping board, wiped his hands with a towel, and said with a smile,

"You said you had seen clearly how I cut it. Then I'll let me see if you can cut it out the 'fishing net'."

Jiang Yu thought about it, but did not refuse, nodded and responded, "Okay, then I'll try it first." Lan

As he said that, he picked up a carrot from the preservation cabinet, washed it, and then picked up a kitchen knife and cut it.

As early as the beginning, Jiang Yu had already seen the order of Judquan cutting carrots clearly. Therefore, he did not find it difficult when he did this step. In fact, it was as he had marked before, and he could just cut the knife in sequence in the order of "a-c-b-d".

Of course, because it is the first time that the ingredients are rolled while cutting, and you also need to grasp the depth of the cutting and try to keep it consistent. Therefore, Jiangyu naturally did not make as fast as Juddquan when cutting carrots.

But even so, it only took less than a minute to cut all a carrot.

This made Jia Dequan, who had been standing by the side and observing, unable to help but show surprise. Even his gray brows trembled a few times inadvertently. He was probably a little surprised, but he didn't expect Jiang Yu to cut so quickly.

The more this happened, the more curious he became. Jiang Yu cut so quickly. Did he really see his previous skills in cutting, or did he think that what he cut was just an ordinary hob?

While Judquan was thinking about this, Jiang Yu, who was standing in front of the chopping board, had already begun the next process - a piece of carrot.

With the previous experience in making Li Zhuang white meat, Jiang Yu has actually mastered the use of flat knife techniques. Compared with soft and a little smooth pork, it is much more difficult to slice the carrots with crisp and tender texture into a growth piece.

Although carrots are easier to get into, they are not as tough as pork. If you are not careful, you will easily get into pieces. Therefore, you need to be very careful at this step. Once the pieces are cut, all your efforts will be wasted.

When Jiang Yu was slicing carrots, his movements were much slower. He slowly rolled the carrots on the chopping board with one hand and slowly drilled in with the kitchen knife in the other hand. After a while, he finished sliced ​​the whole carrot.

Then, he sprinkled some salt on the carrot slices as Judquan was before, rolled them back to their original state and pinched them a few times. After the carrots became slightly soft, Jiang Yu spread the carrots out again, reached out and pinched both sides and pulled them gently-

A orange-red "fishing net" with a meticulous grid is presented in front of you.

“It’s pretty good.”

Although Jia Dequan had a premonition before, and although Jiang Yu had only watched the "fishing net" he demonstrated, maybe he could really copy it.

But when he really saw Jiang Yu cut out the "fishing net" of carrots, Jia Dequan couldn't help but be surprised and even the corners of his eyes began to twitch.

This kid is really not a human being!

He cut so quickly before, and the order of cutting carrots was complicated, so he could see through the secrets and learn in a good way!

If someone else came here, if he didn't explain how to cut the knife, he wouldn't be able to cut such a neat "fishing net" even if he cut the kitchen knife dull.

No wonder this kid cooked food so delicious at a young age. He is so fucking a monster!

Resisting the urge to complain in his heart, Judquan reached out to pull the carrot "fishing net" that Jiang Yu cut, looked carefully, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he immediately pretended to be serious and said,

"Xiaojiang, although your "fishing net" is well cut, you still haven't grasped the depth. Look, the thickness of the "fishing net line" cut out is different.

However, it is already very good that you can cut it like this on the first time you use it, just a little worse than mine.

It’s okay, don’t be discouraged, just practice more.”

"Oh, okay, I will practice two things when I have time."

It has been a day or two since he had been in contact with the little old man Jia Dequan. Jiang Yu didn’t know what he was thinking. Didn’t this little old man just sees that he cut out the “fishing net” for the first time? He feels embarrassed?

He didn't care, and smiled at Judquan and said,

"Old Jia, thank you this time. Thank you for being there, otherwise I wouldn't know where to go to do this 'unique skill' in cooking."

"I don't need to thank you. I'll have time next time. Just make a few more good dishes for me to try."

As Jia Dequan said this, he remembered the white meat of Lizhuang and steamed lion heads he ate yesterday. The taste was so delicious that it was so memorable.

If you have the chance, you must let Jiang Yu do it again.

Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly remembered something and said to Jiang Yu,

"By the way, Xiao Jiang, this 'fishing net' is not just a show of skills. You can't just think about taking it out and bluffing people after learning it."

"ah?"

"I first developed this 'fishing net', not to show off my skills, but to use it to place it."

Jia Dequan looked up at Jiang Yu and said seriously.

"Imagine yourself a steamed bass dish. If you cover a carrot 'fishing net' on it, will the orange color make this relatively simple dish richer in color?

Moreover, when paired with fish nets and dishes with fish as the main ingredients, as long as they are placed well, they will always give people a wonderful feeling."

"It's really... why didn't I expect it before?"
