167 Don't Ask Banmen to Get an Axe (3/5)
Seeing the group of children having a great time eating, Feng Yifan didn't stay for too long and said to his daughter: "Okay, Dad is going to cook, Ruoruo wants to greet your children."
Hearing his father's words, Feng Ruoruo responded happily: "Okay, Dad, please go and cook quickly."
In full view of everyone, the father and daughter hit back with big hands and little hands, and then the father turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
The interaction between father and daughter's high-fives also made many parents feel very interesting to watch.
After his father left, Feng Ruoruo also fully assumed the role of Su Ji's little master, and introduced Su Ji to the children very seriously, introduced his grandfather's restaurant characteristics, and his father's excellent cooking skills.
I heard a group of children, eating snacks, and finding it very interesting.
When the parents listened, they also thought the little girl was really interesting and knew so many things about restaurants.
When he returned to the kitchen, Feng Yifan heard Zhuang Zhebin, who was helping to watch the fire, was teaching his apprentice some messy things.
"Kobayashi, if you really want to practice knife skills as soon as possible, you should try more. You can't always stand there and practice cutting cucumbers. You have practiced for several days, right? Today I ordered a cucumber on this table of cold dishes. You can try cutting a cucumber in the straw raincoat."
Lin Ruifeng raised his head in a daze and asked, "Cucumber in the straw raincoat? What is that?"
Seeing that Lin Ruifeng had never heard of it, Zhuang Zhebin immediately became energetic and felt that he had the opportunity to show off himself.
Unfortunately, before he could turn around and say it, Feng Yifan spoke first: "The straw raincoat cucumber, to put it simply, is a cold cucumber, but the cucumber was changed by the straw raincoat knife technique."
Hearing Feng Yifan's voice and realizing that his uncle was back, Zhuang Zhebin also quickly turned his head and smiled and said hello: "Uncle, you are back."
Feng Yifan did not respond, but walked to the stove, first took over Zhuang Zhebin's position, and took a look at the meat in the pot.
Take the iron spoon next to it, skim the foam in the pot, then continue to cover the pot, and reduce the heat to allow the meat to continue to simmer in the pot.
After doing all this, Feng Yifan turned around and looked at Zhuang Zhebin with a somewhat awkward expression.
"Since Xiaobin said that you were asked to make a straw raincoat and cucumber to practice knife skills, then you can try it."
Lin Ruifeng was a little surprised when he heard this: "But Master, I don't know how to do it now?"
Feng Yifan said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll teach you. It's very simple to rest assured. In fact, it's just to change the knife to slice the cucumber, but you have to cut it on both sides and slice it diagonally."
While speaking, Feng Yifan walked to Lin Ruifeng and first chose a straight cucumber.
Clean and wipe the water on it.
Then, Feng Yifan put the cucumber on the chopping board. Before he was about to let Lin Ruifeng cut it, he brought another pair of chopsticks, placed one by one on both sides of the cucumber, and grabbed the cucumber in the middle.
After making preparations, what surprised Zhuang Zhebin and Lin Ruifeng was that Feng Yifan didn't even want to demonstrate it.
Feng Yifan turned around and said to his apprentice: "Okay, you cut it. Remember to cut the oblique knife. Remember what I taught you? It doesn't matter if you cut it slowly, just try to cut it thinner."
After saying that, there was no unnecessary nonsense. Feng Yifan gave up the chopping board and then mixed the ingredients himself.
Lin Ruifeng stood in front of the chopping board, was stunned for a moment, and then picked up the knife, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to cut it directly.
"Master, why don't you do it, I'm afraid I won't cut it well."
Feng Yifan lowered his head to mix the ingredients, and did not look up at all, and said calmly: "What? Forgot what your master said? You must dare to try it, and then it's just slice it, it's not difficult."
After hesitating for a while, Lin Ruifeng finally mustered up the courage and began to slice it seriously.
As for Zhuang Zhebin, who started the whole incident, he was speechless when he saw Feng Yifan's arrangement.
When Zhuang Zhebin saw Feng Yifan put chopsticks on both sides of the cucumber, he already understood that his own thoughts were discovered. And his uncle knew how to practice.
The straw raincoat cucumber itself is a cold dish, which is not very complicated.
The only difficulty lies in the slice of cucumber knives.
You need to slice obliquely, but you cannot cut the cucumber. This way, cut one side well, and then turn it over and slice it in the reverse direction.
The difficulty lies in grasping it accurately. You must cut out the slices, and you cannot cut off the cucumbers.
The best way to deal with this requirement is to place a chopstick on each side of the cucumber. If the knife cuts it, it will be blocked by the chopsticks and will not be cut off. You can feel at ease and boldly cut it.
Zhuang Zhebin originally wanted to teach Lin Ruifeng a lesson, and he was also planning to use this method. Unexpectedly, Feng Yifan saw through such a little thought and did not give Zhuang Zhebin any chance to pretend.
Lin Ruifeng looked serious and took it seriously.
When I took the first knife, I found that the knife cut the cucumber. When I was about to cut it to the end, it was blocked by chopsticks stuck on both sides of the cucumber, and then the blade could no longer continue to move down.
After getting the first knife, Lin Ruifeng found that this method was really good and he could cut it with confidence.
Next, Lin Ruifeng became more bold and made some gestures to ensure that the interval was very thin, so he took the second shot.
The third knife, the fourth knife, the fifth knife...
Lin Ruifeng was not in a hurry, just to cut each piece with one stroke at a time, trying to cut each piece thin enough, and try to ensure that each piece is roughly thick and evenly as much as possible.
Seeing that his little apprentice was doing well, Feng Yifan did not care about him anymore, but came to Zhuang Zhebin happily.
Zhuang Zhebin came to his senses and found that his uncle was already standing in front of him. He quickly said with a smile: "Uncle, I actually just want to teach Senior Brother Xiaolin something, otherwise it would be boring if he just practices knife skills."
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Well, it's very good. It seems that you are quite idle too. What should you do next when you talk about this pot of cherry meat?"
Zhuang Zhebin was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses and said, "Oh, I know this. First, I need to take out the meat pieces and wash them in warm water, then change the knife, take the casserole, place the bottom of the scallion and ginger, add the meat pieces after the knife, red citrus rice, soy sauce and cooking wine, and simmer it again in the previous broth.
Stew for a while, open the lid and remove the red rice bread and shallot knots, add rock sugar until the meat is soft and the soup is thick."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Well, the general process is correct, but don't you think there is one step missing?"
Zhuang Zhebin was stunned for a moment, then he quickly repeated his thoughts, looked at Feng Yifan with confusion and said, "Uncle, it seems that there is nothing missing, right?"
Feng Yifan asked seriously: "Really? Are you sure there are quite a few?"
After asking this question, Zhuang Zhebin was confused. He was really a little panicked at this moment and thought about it over and over again.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhuang Zhebin said with a sad face: "Uncle, can we not play like this? I admit my mistake, just tell me, what step did I miss?"
Seeing Zhuang Zhebin lowering his head and admitting his mistake, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "What you said is actually correct, and you can indeed make cherry meat as you said.
But you forgot a little bit, we were in a restaurant and we wanted to make this dish for our guests, so we needed to add one step, which was to clean the broth.”
Zhuang Zhebin was stunned again after hearing this. After thinking about it carefully, he understood what the uncle in front of him meant.
The so-called addition is because the soup when cooking meat will actually contain larger magazines and fat. Even if the foam is removed when cooking, there is still a lot of fat in the soup.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the meat will not look greasy after eating, Feng Yifan added another step to remove the oil from the broth.
There is actually no difference in seasoning and making, but removing the fat from the broth will make the dish no longer greasy in the end, making the cherry meat more palatable.
Seeing his uncle do it step by step, Zhuang Zhebin understood that he was really showing off his skills before.
