Reborn – Super Chef

The horse lettuce was constantly rolling in the pot, and An Xiaoxiao held a pair of chopsticks in her hands and kept stirring the wild vegetables in the pot. This was the first thing she did with the things in the kitchen: boil the wild vegetables with water.

Ye Chui stood side by side with Qin Yiyue and Han Yuyan, and when he saw An Xiaoxiao doing this, Ye Chui showed approval on his face, while Qin Yiyue suddenly realized: "Ye Chui, the life you did The horse lettuce must have been boiled in advance, which can effectively remove the sour and bitter taste in the horse lettuce, but...if it is boiled, the texture of the horse lettuce will become ripe, how can we maintain that crispy texture?"

"It's very simple, just boil the wild vegetables until they are raw." Ye Chui said with a smile, pointing to An Xiaoxiao, "She seems to understand this principle."

Just as she was about to speak, An Xiaoxiao had already stopped the fire, and carefully fished out the wild vegetables in the pot with a colander, and put them in the pot. At this moment, the horse lettuce was half-cooked, and the color became darker, but still Keep the crisp texture, which is the so-called broken raw, so that the vegetables are just between cooked and uncooked.

"Then she made the right move?" Han Yuyan asked from the side, "Then what's next?"

"She is really smart." Ye Chui praised with a smile, "It seems that she has indeed tasted how this dish is made."

I saw An Xiaoxiao set up another frying pan. After the frying pan was heated up, he directly poured the horse lettuce that had just been fished out into the pan—this is dry-stir frying, but there is no oil. The water wind in the horse lettuce evaporates, and the purpose of exposure is achieved.

When the horse lettuce came into contact with the iron pan, there was a shuddering sound. An Xiaoxiao took a frying spoon and kept turning the wild vegetables in the pot so that the wild vegetables were in even contact with the iron pan.

Before this step, Qin Yiyue had already guessed it. As this step proceeded, white mist rose from the iron pot, and the branches and stems of the horse lettuce gradually shrank, and the leaves turned black. This is the reason for the loss of water. A few minutes later, when An Xiaoxiao poured the wild vegetables in the iron pot into a small pot, the appearance of the wild vegetables was already 70 to 80% similar to the dishes made by Ye Chui.

"She did the right thing, right?" Han Yuyan asked Ye Chui in a low voice.

It was Qin Yiyue who answered her: "The best way to use wild vegetables like purslane is to dry them in the sun. Dry-stirring is to speed up this step, but dry-stirring is easy to damage the structure of vegetables. To shape the structure of the lettuce and maintain the taste of wild vegetables, she did the right thing in the step of dry-stirring, and she thought a little more than I did."

I saw that after An Xiaoxiao finished the dry-stir frying process, she began to prepare the seasoning for raw horse lettuce. The garlic was finely chopped into minced garlic. In the pot, stir carefully, then add salt and pour some sesame oil, stir evenly, and pour it into the plate. At this time, the raw horse lettuce has been completed.

The whole dish is very simple, and it only takes 20 minutes before and after, and the dish that An Xiaoxiao finished is very similar to the dish made by Ye Chui, and there is even no difference from the appearance.

An Xiaoxiao also had a somewhat joyful smile on her dark face, obviously because she felt a sense of accomplishment because she had finished this dish. She held the dish on the plate with both hands and walked away quite proudly. In front of Ye Chui: "Hey, look at my cooking."

"Let me taste it first." Han Yuyan said impatiently, picked up chopsticks and put one into her mouth, with a surprised expression on her face, "This seems to be the same as what Master made!"

Having said that, Han Yuyan looked at Ye Chui with some worry, did he lose his omnipotent master?

Qin Yiyue also picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and tasted it carefully.

"Hey, what do you think of Mumu?" Han Yuyan hurriedly asked Qin Yiyue, and in a hurry, he directly called out Dong Youyou's nickname for Qin Yiyue.

After taking a sip, Qin Yiyue couldn't help but said to Han Yuyan, "Is Mr. Han really your grandfather?"

"Ah?" Han Yuyan was taken aback.

Qin Yiyue did not answer Han Yuyan, and continued to tell An Xiaoxiao: "This dish is indeed very similar to Ye Chui's, but the taste is a little different in the subtleties. It should be said that those subtle differences make this dish more delicious. The texture has directly dropped by a layer.”

When he said that, it was obvious that An Xiaoxiao's dishes were far inferior to Ye Chui's.

An angry expression suddenly appeared on An Xiaoxiao's face, as if she felt that her cooking skills had been insulted, she immediately stretched out her hand and squeezed a piece of horse lettuce into her mouth, then her eyes widened involuntarily, revealing With a puzzled look,

She frowned and said in a low voice: "How could this be... What did I do wrong?"

"It's actually very simple." Ye Chui said with a smile, "All your procedures are correct, the only thing that is wrong is that the timing of adding salt is wrong."

"When to add salt?" An Xiaoxiao was taken aback.

Ye Chui nodded and continued to explain: "My steps for making this dish are the same as yours, the only difference is that I put salt in the first blanching."

An Xiaoxiao frowned delicately, as if she couldn't figure out the reason behind it: "Is there such a big difference between adding salt early and putting salt late?"

"Of course there is a big gap." This time it was Qin Yiyue who answered. He also likes An Xiaoxiao very much. If Ye Chui hadn't shown his interest first, he would have decided to take this girl as his apprentice. In addition to the salty taste, there is another function, that is, it can absorb the water in the vegetables. When the water is blanched, add salt, so that the water in the wild vegetables can be dried up more effectively, and it can also make the salty taste more delicious. , the level of texture is much higher than adding salt at the end.”

An Xiaoxiao bowed her head and stopped talking, but her eyes flickered.

Unexpectedly, a simple step can change the taste of a dish so much. Although she is talented, she still ignores this kind of thing. Looking at the dish she made, she pouted, although she didn't want to Admit it, but she knew that she lost the bet with Ye Chui.

Although Su Laosan and the others standing at the door of the kitchen don't know much about the problem of adding salt to the horse's lettuce, they can see An Xiaoxiao's appearance and know that she has surrendered. An Xiaoxiao is a very strong person. People, if she hadn't convinced her, she would seldom show such a look.

These people all showed a bit of regret.

But Su Lao San didn't have much frustration on his face. Losing might not be a bad thing...

He walked up to An Xiaoxiao's side cautiously, and patted An Xiaoxiao's head lovingly: "Convince me, didn't I often tell you before that there are people outside the world, no matter how good your cooking skills are? It may be the most powerful, if you want to learn how to cook, you need to practice hard."

"I will practice hard in the future." An Xiaoxiao said with some anger, "I will definitely not lose if I do it again."

"You need someone to teach you to practice. How can you learn from being a beggar with us?" Su Laosan also said a little angrily.

"I used to be a beggar, didn't I learn it well?" An Xiaoxiao said with a bulging face.

"Then what's the use of studying well? We beggars are so particular about it?" Su Laosan raised his voice a little.

"I don't care, I'm content to cook for you anyway." An Xiaoxiao still said angrily.

"You...you can tell me what to say!" Third Su was a little annoyed, he didn't pay attention to Xiaoxiao for the time being, but looked at Ye Chui, with a look of apology on his unshaven face, and said to Ye Chui , "Little boss, since our girl has lost, I'll ask someone to leave later, and I won't bother you in the future, oh..."

Saying this, he looked at An Xiaoxiao regretfully. Ye Chui looked like a nice person. He was very shrewd. He could tell that Ye Chui was interested in An Xiaoxiao. If he talked about it properly, maybe Ye Chui would Agree to let An Xiaoxiao stay...

He understands Ke An's small character very well, and he is very stubborn, and he can't talk about things he has decided.

Ye Chui vaguely saw something, with a smile on his face, he walked up to An Xiaoxiao: "Your name is Xiaoxiao? Hehe, Xiaoxiao, do you like cooking?"

An Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at the ground next to her, and said in a muffled voice, "I like it."

"Then do you want to make the most delicious dishes in the world?" Ye Chui continued to say with a smile, "The realm of food is endless, cook the ingredients into dishes, let the delicious taste be born in your hands, look Let others touch you with your delicious taste, that kind of wonderful taste is indescribable, you must know this very well, right?"

An Xiaoxiao remained silent and kept her mouth tightly shut.

"All kinds of ingredients are gifts from nature to us, and food is the endless exploration of human beings." Ye Chui paused, and continued to say to An Xiaoxiao, "You are very talented in cooking, but you want to be the most Talent is not enough for a good chef. Steaming, boiling, mixing, roasting, soup, stewing, frying, roasting, deep-frying... Our ancestors created a variety of cooking methods for us, and there may be more Cooking methods and delicious dishes are waiting for us to discover, An Xiaoxiao, don’t you think this is a very interesting thing? But you can’t do it all by yourself, you need a guide .”

Ye Chui's words were very plain, but they seemed to be full of some kind of exaggeration.

Qin Yiyue and Han Yuyan who were standing next to each other moved their expressions. These words obviously touched Qin Yiyue's heart. The exploration of delicious food is his lifelong pursuit. As for Han Yuyan...

The elder sister suddenly whispered to Qin Yiyue: "Master's sensational skills are really powerful."

Qin Yiyue: "..."

Well, the atmosphere just now was gone all of a sudden.

Ye Chui patted An Xiaoxiao's thin shoulder lightly, and he continued: "An Xiaoxiao, I am willing to be your culinary guide. Do you... want to continue exploring the mysteries of cooking?"

With a snap, tears slid down An Xiaoxiao's dark face and dripped onto the floor with a crisp sound.

She wants to be by Su Laosan's side forever, and she is willing to cook the most delicious food in the world for him, but she can't deny that in that time and time again, she has deeply liked him. Got that taste.

Cooking is really fun.

She really wants to stand at the highest place to see the best view in this regard.

She looked at Ye Chui with tears in her eyes, and choked up her most sincere heart to Ye Chui——

"Master, I want to learn cooking from you." (~^~)
