Siheyuan: Rebirth of the Silly Pillar, with enlightenment that defies heaven

"Hey, I'll go right away."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded towards the man, and then went straight to the kitchen.

After yesterday's day, everyone in Hongbin Building got to know this new Zhu Zhu.

Regardless of Zhu Zhu's age, as soon as he came to Hongbin Building, he was immediately accepted as an apprentice by Master Li, and he was also rated as the second kitchen chef by Boss Yang.

This level is not something you can decide casually.

If you can't show off your skills to convince the people in the kitchen, even Master Li's apprentices won't be able to convince everyone.

Not to mention, this pillar is polite when dealing with others, and does not think he is superior at all because he is valued.

Therefore, everyone’s impression of Zhuzi is pretty good.

……

Passing through the front hall, He Yuzhu came to the backyard.

Although customers haven't started arriving yet, the backyard is already getting busy.

In addition to preparing the dishes, some chefs and their apprentices would explain a few words from time to time.

"Hey, the pillar is here."

"Hello, fellow brothers and sisters."

The chefs here at Hongbin Building all have teacher-student relationships, which are somewhat different from the itinerant chefs in small restaurants outside.

Therefore, most of us call ourselves senior fellow apprentices.

He Yuzhu also said hello to everyone.

"Zhuzi, Master Li is waiting for you in the kitchen."

Same words.

This made He Yuzhu a little curious.

He nodded and walked into the kitchen.

At this time, Li Baoguo was the only one in the kitchen, and most of the others were doing chores in the backyard.

"Master, look for me."

He Yuzhu spoke.

Li Baoguo turned around, glanced at He Yuzhu, and nodded slightly.

"Well, I think you adapted well yesterday."

Although Zhuzi was on the stove for the first day, the evaluation of Zhuzi in the kitchen yesterday was not low.

Moreover, although Zhu Zhu is only serving as the second stove now, the dishes he has made have received a lot of praise from the guests.

"You are already the second generation, why are you still doing the work of apprentices?"

Li Baoguo said again.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu said: "Master, I just came to the kitchen, and I am not very old. Although I am the second kitchen, it only means that my cooking skills are not bad. These tasks of cutting vegetables and preparing vegetables, It won't delay my cooking, so other brothers and sisters won't have any ideas."

Of course, there was one thing He Yuzhu didn't say.

The more work you do, the faster your proficiency will increase. For He Yuzhu, he wished he could do more of these things.

After Li Baoguo heard He Yuzhu's words, he was secretly satisfied.

Not bad.

Yesterday, he heard from the chef that Zhu Zhu had become the second stove and insisted on cutting and preparing vegetables by himself. This made him take a high look at Zhu Zhu's character.

"Okay, since you already worship me as your teacher, from today on, I will also start teaching you some things."

"I cook Sichuan cuisine, and you know this. The first dish I want to teach you today is Mapo Tofu."

Hearing that the master was going to teach him cooking skills, He Yuzhu immediately concentrated on listening carefully.

You know, in this era, this kind of core cooking skills are only for those who eat, and they will not be taught to anyone other than disciples.

After hearing about Mapo Tofu, He Yuzhu was also moved in his heart.

This dish can be said to be a classic of Sichuan cuisine.

It is precisely because it is classic that it also tests the chef's skills the most.

Everyone makes this dish, so why is yours the best?

This is what the master wants to teach.

"I'll do it again in a while. Please watch carefully and then practice more frequently."

When Li Baoguo spoke, He Yuzhu also listened carefully.

"First of all, the ingredients for this Mapo Tofu."

While talking, Li Baoguo came to the stove.

Here are the cooking ingredients that have been prepared long ago.

"Tofu, beef, watercress, garlic sprouts, pepper, soy sauce..."

Li Baoguo introduced them one by one.

Next, take out a piece of tofu.

"You have to choose soft tofu for this tofu. It will taste better this way."

Next, it’s time to test your knife skills.

A kitchen knife appeared in Li Baoguo's hand at some point, and then, as his wrist shook, the blade made a regular "dah-dah" sound on the chopping board.

Just a moment later, the tofu as white as snow broke into small cubes of even size.

Just for this humble sword skill, ordinary apprentices don't have to polish it for more than ten years, so it doesn't have this flavor at all.

Then, Li Baoguo added water to the pot. After boiling, he added a little salt and then added the tofu to the pot.

After cooking thoroughly, take out the tofu and set aside.

Then, add the previously prepared ingredients into the pot, stir-fry until fragrant, and then add the tofu.

"After putting the tofu in the pot, don't use a spatula, because the soft tofu is fragile, so you can use a spoon to push it. More often, you have to rely on your wrist to turn the pot so that it is heated evenly."

Li Baoguo is serious and focused when cooking. He doesn't talk much, but every sentence focuses on the key points.

If these steps are not guided by a famous teacher, even if you have been trying for more than ten years, you may not be able to get started.

Although He Yuzhu was systematic, he still listened very carefully to Li Baoguo's teaching.

Because he has not mastered these cooking skills.

As Li Baoguo cooks, a rich aroma of Mapo tofu rises from the pot.

This shocked He Yuzhuwen's appetite.

Worthy of being the top three chefs of Hongbin Tower.

I heard that Li Baoguo had the potential to become a chef at state banquets, but for some unknown reason, he failed to do so, so he came to Hongbin Tower.

Even so, Li Baoguo's Sichuan cuisine skills are among the best among the three chefs at Hongbin Tower.

After Mapo Tofu was put on the plate, Li Baoguo looked at He Yuzhu.

"Zhuzi, remember the steps just now."

Based on Li Baoguo's experience, it would be enough for Zhuzi to be able to appreciate the craftsmanship he just performed 23/10 of the time.

After all, Zhu Zhu's age was at stake here, and it was his first time contacting him. Twenty-three times out of ten, it was Li Baoguo who had already added a lot of points to Zhu Zhu's talent.

It takes at least a month of practice to fully master the essence of this dish.

"Well, I probably understand."

He Yuzhu didn't finish his words, but he was already a little eager to try.

When Li Baoguo saw this, he didn't say anything.

"Okay, then when you are cooking today, you can practice this dish in your free time. I will discuss the cost of the ingredients with Boss Yang and it will be borne by me."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu suddenly felt grateful.

The chef put it lightly. A plate of Mapo Tofu costs at least tens of thousands of yuan. Even if you only calculate it based on cost, it is still a large amount of money.

"Master, my apprentice will definitely practice well."

At this time, He Yuzhu knew that he could only repay his master with his achievements. Of course, he also kept this kindness in his heart.

After Li Baoguo left, He Yuzhu started practicing Mapo Tofu.

He followed the steps just demonstrated by Li Baoguo and started from scratch.

However, after cutting the tofu in his hand, He Yuzhu's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.

"what……"
