Feng Yifan was preparing ingredients very carefully in the kitchen, not only because tonight, the former childhood friend stayed for dinner, but he promised to make a river-fresh banquet for everyone.

Also because this is an attitude, an attitude that is serious enough to work in the kitchen.

Whether it is each ingredient, whether it needs to be pre-processed, just cleaned, or modified.

Feng Yifan will deal with each of them carefully and meticulously, which are also good habits he has developed over the years.

The first thing to do is to select materials is to be meticulous enough, and the second thing is to handle each step of the process requires to be very careful and meticulous.

Just like the hair on pig's skin, he would burn it carefully with a spurt gun, and then wash it over and over with clean water.

Ensure that there will be no pig's hair left on the pig's skin, and there will be no burning charred residue on the pig's skin.

For example, if a big-headed silver carp is slaughtered, Feng Yifan will do the whole process himself.

After slaughtering, the fish head must be cut off immediately.

Cut the fish head open and clean the inside carefully, and finally chop the fish head into large pieces for later use.

As for the remaining fish body, it is naturally not allowed to be discarded. The two fish meat on the fish body must be completely removed, and then the fish bones are chopped into large pieces for making soup.

The remaining fish should be sliced ​​into fish fillets, and the thickness must be even, not too thick or too thin.

Decide how to slice the fish according to the fish part.

At the tail part, try to make the slices slightly thinner, and then at the part that breaks the belly of the fish, please make the slices slightly thicker, because there is more fish here.

The process of slicing fish is also a very particular process, and you must find the right position to cut it.

The most important thing is that the efficiency of sliced ​​fish is to ensure that one fish cannot be sliced ​​for one or two hours, and I’m afraid I can’t cook a few dishes that night.

The thickness of the fish fillet should be even, because this is a dish of fish head rice that Feng Yifan often made when he was a child.

After the braised fish is served, it will be heated with a small stove. The thin slices of fish are cooked in the soup after the fish head is eaten, which is like a hot pot.

Paired with the rich braised fish head soup, it is really a unique dish.

Of course, such a dish is usually the best, so when you are in the end, sliced ​​fish fillets is a very technical job that tests speed and efficiency.

It is necessary to slice well within the specified time to ensure the fresh taste of the fish slices, and to ensure that the fish slices are thick enough to allow the fish soup to be cooked.

So in the kitchen, it is often not the most difficult time to cook.

On the contrary, before cooking begins, various preparations are the most complicated.

Each ingredient is processed in different ways. It is necessary to ensure that the ingredients are fresh and to ensure that the ingredients can exert their due taste.

All of this is from the time of preparing materials, and every process step needs to be taken into account.

Lin Ruifeng was calculating his life and had been in the kitchen. He had been studying with Feng Yifan for almost half a month, but many times he had not been able to master all the steps.

Often, Feng Yifan still needs to arrange the steps, and he does it according to the steps arranged by his master.

Lin Ruifeng had no objection to this. He felt that he should do this according to his master's instructions.

But Feng Yifan is still a little dissatisfied with Lin Ruifeng like this.

"Ruifeng, you have to understand that there are some things you can't always wait for me to order before doing. To truly become a chef, you have your own ideas."

When Lin Ruifeng heard this, he stood there a little and didn't know how to answer.

Feng Yifan continued: "You have to understand what your main ingredients are for making a dish? What ingredients are there? Finally, you have to know what seasonings should be used? Finally, arrange the steps and time according to your cooking process."

Lin Ruifeng understood what the master meant this time.

"Well, Master, I know that every dish is not achieved overnight, and it has to go through a very complicated process."

Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, I asked you to practice knife skills, that is the basic skill. I asked you to follow me to prepare materials, so that you can learn how to prepare materials.

The normal hotel kitchen is roughly divided into: stove, chopping board, steamer, lotus, roasted wax, snacks, and water table."

Lin Ruifeng still listened very seriously.

Feng Yifan also explained to him every job that needs to be dealt with.

"The hotel kitchen is not like our small restaurant. A lot of the work is done by ourselves, because there will be a very professional team working together there.

So with your current situation, if you go to a hotel, you can easily find your own position and easily integrate into the team.

But I don't want you to do that. I want you to be familiar with every step, no cooking process."

Lin Ruifeng probably understood the Master’s intention.

The master does not want him to stop at a little bit of small achievements, but hopes that he can truly become a chef who can take on the role of the mainstay alone.

Feng Yifan said seriously: "Many people may think that they may be considered a chef if they are cooked in the kitchen, or they may think that they are a chef if they are working in the kitchen.

I don't think these can really become a chef. A chef should be familiar with every detail of cooking.

You must be able to adjust the cooking rhythm according to some actual situations, and have your own style, be able to present traditional dishes, and innovate some eye-catching dishes."

Speaking of this, Feng Yifan looked at his apprentice seriously and said, "So Ruifeng If you want to really become a chef, you not only need to work hard to practice your basic skills, but also need to keep studying."

Lin Ruifeng looked serious. He understood Master’s intention and understood his little expectations for him.

So he nodded seriously and agreed: "Master, I will definitely work hard."

Feng Yifan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then let's continue."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Ruoruo led his two good friends to push the door from outside into the kitchen. Each of the three little girls was holding a list.

"Dad, there are three tables of guests coming together today. Xixi and Feifei, we can get one for you one by one."

Seeing his daughter and two little girls come in, Feng Yifan smiled again on his face.

"Is that right? Today, Ruoruo, Xixi, Feifei is really amazing. I can deliver the menu to me together. Which menu in your hands is in front?"

After asking this, the three little girls were stopped.

Because Su Ruoxi recorded all the three menus outside and tear them down to the three little girls together.

When Su Ruoxi teared it off, she didn't say which one was in front.

Feng Ruoruo took the menu from her mother's hand, and she immediately separated each of them for two good friends.

So Feng Ruoruo doesn’t know which menu in their hands should be placed in front.

After being stunned for a while, the little girl pouted and said, "Dad, Ruoruo doesn't know which one is in front. What should I do now? Dad, will this mess up?"

Seeing that his daughter was a little anxious, Feng Yifan smiled and comforted: "Okay, it's okay, you guys give it to me together."

The three little girls also obediently handed the menu to father Feng.

After Chen Yaofei handed over the menu, she asked curiously: "Dad Feng, can you tell which one is in front?"

Before he could wait for Dad Feng’s answer, Yang Xiaoxi helped the first thing to do was to say: “Dad Feng must know.”

Feng Ruoruo was also very confident in his father: "Yes, dad must know."

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Actually, father Feng doesn't know, but the guests at the three tables came together, so it should be okay for whom to serve the food first, right?"

Yang Xiaoxi was a little surprised: "Is this OK?"

Chen Yaofei thought for a while and said, "Yes, because the guests came together, there is no need to divide the order."

Feng Ruoruo also agreed with Chen Yaofei's statement: "Yes, they came together, so they can serve the dishes together regardless of the order."

When Yang Xiaoxi heard what his two good friends said, he nodded in agreement: "Okay then."

Feng Yifan took a look at the menu, and then directly instructed Lin Ruifeng to get busy and ask Lin Ruifeng to prepare the ingredients for the menu.

He immediately turned on the fire and sat on the pot and started cooking dishes.

When the three little girls saw that Papa Feng was starting to be busy, they walked out of the kitchen together.

The girls are still very well-behaved and are unwilling to disturb the busyness of Dad Feng and Uncle Xiaolin.

After returning to the front, the three little girls quickly ran to the two grandmas together.

Feng Ruoruo hugged his grandmother and said, "Dad is starting to cook."

Chen Yaofei also said to her grandmother and Lu Cuiling: "Yeah, Dad Feng has started cooking and has started to cook with that fire."

Yang Xiaoxi added: "Uncle Kobayashi is also busy, Uncle Kobayashi is no longer so slow."

Feng Ruoruo continued: "Yes, Uncle Xiaolin has also become so fast, not as slow as before. He needs his father to tell him where to get things."

When Lu Cuiling heard the words of her little granddaughter, she smiled and said, "Is that so? Then it seems that Uncle Xiaolin has made a lot of progress."

Yang Xiaoxi suddenly turned around and ran to his father, pouting and asked, "Dad, why haven't my mother come yet? We said we wanted to have lunch together and we all had dinner, why haven't my mother come yet?"

Yang Xiaoxi's mother did not come at noon, and this incident made the girl very unhappy.

However, because Feng Ruoru and Chen Yaofei were accompanying him, the little girl asked a few questions at lunch, but she didn't care much.

But now, dinner is about to be had. The little girl remembered that her mother still didn't come. Naturally, she was a little unhappy and felt that her mother was too untrustworthy.

Yang Zhiyi hugged his daughter and said softly: "Mom didn't call me. She was very busy today, so she couldn't come here. Why don't we wait for dinner to pick up my mother? OK?"

Yang Xiaoxi pouted and said, "It's true, my mother is always busy."

Yang Zhiyi then comforted his daughter: "Because my mother has to work, it's like your father Feng, who has to be busy in the kitchen every day, right? And my father also has to write a lot of manuscripts every day."

After hearing what his father said, Yang Xiaoxi nodded very sensible.
