Chapter 69

If it’s any later, you won’t even be able to drink the soup

Among the major Chinese cuisines, Huaiyang cuisine is the one that pays the most attention to knife skills.

Huaiyang cuisine pays great attention to knife skills and can make many inexpensive ingredients look very high-end without appearing exaggerated.

For example, "Wensi Tofu Soup" is the ultimate expression of knife skills, but in the end, its main ingredient is just a piece of tofu.

Although Hunan cuisine does not pursue the perfection of knife skills as much as Huaiyang cuisine, it has always paid attention to knife skills. There are as many as sixteen basic knife techniques. The specific application and evolution make the dishes varied and endlessly changing.

For example, in the dish "hairy beef tenderloin", the cut beef tenderloin is as thin as silver wire and uniform; the "smooth beef tenderloin" is as thin as paper, and the cut eel with garlic moss is as thin as a match stem.

Another example is the "Red Braised Babao Chicken". The whole chicken is peeled off and the water is filled without leaking. The finished product is not only complete and beautiful in shape, it is breathtaking, but the meat is fresh, soft and juicy, and it is full of fragrance when you eat it.

The notebook written by Lu Jinsheng in Jiang Yu's hand records in detail the use, key points, and training of various sword techniques.

Such a valuable summary of cooking experience is much more effective than his daily practice and blind practice, which is much more effective than relying on experience to improve his cooking skills.

He was so happy to see Hunter that he couldn't help but start practicing on the spot.

Most of the stalls have closed, and the shop assistants are busy packing up. Only in front of the "Jiang's Soup Dumplings" shop at the far end, there are still two or three students queuing up, waiting to buy food.

When Lu Shuwu heard this, he immediately grimaced.

"Okay, there's no point in talking more. Seeing is believing."

In order to eat delicious food, he can also work hard!

"You heard that right."

Jiang Yu glared at him angrily, turned around and sat back on the chair, picked up the cooking notebook and started reading.

"Well, it's indeed rare, but it's not uncommon. The one in the third canteen sells spicy hotpot, and the one in the fifth canteen sells boiled water. There are always people queuing up..."

"Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang!"

Xiong Xinsheng didn't care either. He smiled, made a gesture of invitation, and took the lead in entering the cafeteria door.

Lu Shuwu was suddenly unable to refute and said dejectedly: "I'll practice. Isn't it okay if I practice?"

"Okay, let's make food."

"I said it was so miraculous before. I'm afraid you don't really believe it, right? How about we go in and take a look now?"

Since the store started to implement the business hours system, most students have become accustomed to the "rules" in the store. When they see that the business hours are about to end, they consciously stop queuing up.

"Don't want to practice?"

"Then I won't cut it. Next time I'll buy a bag of potatoes or radishes and cut them."

Niu Wenlin curled his lips and smiled, and was about to say that he was "liar", but as soon as he said a word, a strong aroma of fresh fragrance mixed with spicy taste suddenly penetrated into his nasal cavity, making him tremble all over.

, shivered.

Xiong Xusheng raised his hand and pointed forward, and said with some pride,

"At this moment, there are still people queuing up. How about it? Which stall in the canteen have you seen queuing up in front of to buy something?"

"Boss, don't mince it. The shredded cucumber can still be eaten cold. Just put it into the imported chicken and mix it. If you mince it all, it would be a waste."



"Boss, are you... a knife practitioner?"

He was a little stunned for a moment. Seeing that Jiang Yu seemed to be planning to cut the cucumber into shreds, he quickly stopped him and said,

Otherwise, if they really sell as many soup dumplings as there are people coming, Jiang Yu feels that even if it works 24 hours a day, there will still be a long queue waiting outside this window.

Jiang Yu nodded, turned to Lu Shuwu and said,

"Steam the soup dumplings that we left for ourselves. They will be steamed and ready to eat in a while."

After paying the bill and coming out of the small restaurant, they did not immediately separate and go back to their respective homes. Instead, they walked around the school to get rid of the smell of alcohol on their bodies.

Xiong Xusheng and Niu Wenlin drank until half past eight, and both of them were a little dizzy.

"Old Niu, the small shop I told you about this afternoon is in this cafeteria."

As soon as Lu Shuwu went outside to pour a glass of water and came back, he saw Jiang Yu leaning in front of the table, using a jumping knife to cut several cucumbers into thin slices. Then he changed the direction and cut the cucumbers into thin slices.

The slices were cut into thin strips...

"Why are you in a hurry? The fish pieces will be steamed in about ten minutes, and they are delicious when eaten while hot. Wait until the steamed buns are steamed before putting them in the pan. It's too early now, Xiaoyan and the others haven't rested yet."

"Ah? I, I also want to practice?"

Jiang Yu glanced back at him and asked with a half-smile, "Do you still want to learn how to cook Hunan cuisine from me?"

As he spoke, Niu Wenlin suddenly paused. He raised his hand and patted his forehead, and said with a smile,

"Okay, now that we're at the door, let's go in and take a look."

"Well, that's the store."

Niu Wenlin nodded and added,

"It's not that I don't believe what you said, it's just that what you said is indeed too exaggerated."

"Huh? Where's the fish fillet with chopped pepper?"

Xiong Xusheng turned his head and said seriously, "I heard it too, your stomach did growl just now."

Jiang Yu turned his head and looked at the window in front. As expected, there were far fewer students lining up outside, and there weren't many steamers on the stove either.

Hu Zhihai rolled his eyes and quickly ran forward to help.

"I'm really drunk. We've obviously just eaten. Why do I seem to hear my stomach growling?"

That kind of scene is terrifying just thinking about it.

Xiong Xiansheng still hadn't forgotten his previous "plan". He raised his finger and pointed at the second canteen, which was still brightly lit, and said with a smile,

"cheat……"

While the two were talking, Hu Zhihai walked in from outside carrying a backpack and asked as he walked,

"Lao Jiang, it's going to close soon. Are you planning on making food?"

When Hu Zhihai heard this, he immediately became anxious and said with a smile,

"Steam the fish fillets with chopped peppers too. The weather is so hot and the fish fillets will go bad if left out for a long time."

Jiang Yu just tried it out before and did not plan to practice for a long time. He washed the kitchen knife, put it back, and said to Lu Shuwu,

"By the way, when the potatoes or radishes are bought, you can also practice knife skills together."

It was just after nine o'clock in the evening, and there were only two or three students left in the cafeteria hall sitting at the row tables, chatting and eating.

Immediately afterwards, two sounds of "gugu" and "gugu" came clearly into his ears.

As I walked, I came to the door of the Second Canteen without realizing it.

This time Niu Wenlin heard it clearly. He was not the only one whose stomach was growling. Xiong Xinsheng's stomach was also growling!

He was a little confused:

"Could it be that what Lao Xiong and I had before was fake food?!"

Before he could figure it out, Xiong Xinsheng pulled him hard and said hurriedly:

"Why are you still dazed? Why don't you hurry up and catch up? The little boss has come up with a new dish. If it's a little later, you won't even be able to drink the soup!"

With that said, he grabbed Niu Wenlin's hand and went straight to the soup dumpling shop...

At this time, who is going to talk about face-saving things? If you can eat it, it belongs to you!
