Food Circle Plug-in Emperor Chapter 700

  Chapter 700 There is only tradition but no authenticity

   After finishing his speech, Gu Yunwu looked at Fu Yu with a lot of emotion!

   "If Feng Xiaoxiao will help you check, now I think your entry video will most likely be selected. After all, she is an anchor specializing in food videos, and she is an expert in this field."

  Fu Yu smiled a little embarrassedly, this is really not guaranteed.

  After all, the cooking video he recorded did not ask a professional company to help trim the video, it was completely edited by Liu Yuqing.

   I really don't know what happened.

  Fu Yu is the host at night, and invites Yao Shi and Zhao Meng to dinner.

  Although the dinner was arranged by him, Zhao Meng chose the place to eat.

   It was decided at the Mutton Restaurant on Zhongshan Bridge South Street.

  The owner of this store is an authentic XJ person, and the mutton used in the store is all big-tailed sheep transported from his hometown.

   The taste of the meat is different from the ones here. It has a strong smell and is also very fragrant.

   In terms of eating, Fu Yu refused to accept anyone, but Zhao Meng, even Yao Shi was not as good at eating as Zhao Meng.

  Three people sat around the table.

Zhao Meng didn't need to look at the menu, opened his mouth up and down, and directly reported the name of the dish: "Braised lamb, carrots as a side dish; large plate chicken; one piece of grilled lamb chops; first twenty skewers of hand-held lamb skewers, and six baked buns , three servings of mutton tendon pilaf, wine"

  The dishes are very rich, and the three of them exchanged cups, talking and laughing.

  The three of them haven't sat down for a while, eating and chatting like this.

  In the past, Fu Yu followed Zhao Meng's **** all day long, just like a follower.

  Now I am in charge of cooking independently every day, and I have to go to Shangshi's private restaurant at night, and I have to go to the music restaurant during the rest. I am as busy as a spinning top.

  Yao Shi is even more busy, and can hardly find anyone every day.

  Zhao Meng has a family now. He is not a bachelor. He usually has to work and take care of the family, children and the elderly. He is also very busy.

   "Chu Yao, thank you so much for buying a house this time."

   Fu Yu picked up the cup, got up and offered a toast: "I toast you."

  Yao Shi smiled, and clinked the glass with Fu Yu: "We are all from our own family, so don't be so polite."

   Both of them drank in one gulp at the same time.

Fu Yu helped Yao Shi and himself refill the wine again, then raised the wine glass again, facing Zhao Meng: "Chef Zhao, I have to toast you too. Since you entered the back kitchen, you have been taking special care of me, really Thank you very much, some words are meaningless, I put them in my heart, from now on you can just watch my performance."

  As soon as these words came out, the two looked at each other and smiled.

   Zhao Meng smiled, picked up his wine glass, looked at Fu Yu, and said with some emotion: "You boy, you are really mature. Look at the way you speak now, I'm really not used to it."

   "To be honest, I'm used to having you by my side, but you've been away so suddenly for the past two months. Sometimes I really miss you."

  Fu Yuyang smiled, but didn't say anything, but actually agreed with Zhao Meng's words in his heart.

  As Zhao Meng said, Fu Yu was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but the time he needed to adapt independently was too busy, and he didn't have time to think too much.

   Later, I always wanted to find a time to sit down with Zhao Meng, drink some wine and chat like before, but I was too busy to make time.

  Zhao Meng let Fu Yu help him fill the cup, and said with a smile, "You are now the new generation force of our back kitchen."

   Fu Yu also poured wine into his own cup, laughed and flattered Zhao Meng: "This is all taught by you, Chef Zhao."

Zhao Meng didn't smile this time, and put his hand on Fu Yu's shoulder: "It takes hard work to strike iron, you have the talent, and you can learn everything quickly. To be honest, I still regret that you didn't come here from the beginning. The kitchen will take you directly."

   "You are born to learn how to cook. Except for Yao Chef, I have never seen anyone more talented than you. At the beginning, I really should have asked you to be a cooking assistant earlier. Maybe you can take over my class now."

   "However, even now, your cooking skills are already very good. You can quickly learn to cook any dish, and you can accurately grasp the essence of cooking when you operate it. This is especially rare."

   "Besides, to be honest, I have also carefully looked at your knife skills and fire control skills. In many places, you are better than me."

   Zhao Meng spoke highly of Fu Yu.

However, immediately, Zhao Meng changed the subject and told him very seriously: "But, you have to remember that dishes are people's character, and good dishes come from good people. No matter when it comes to cooking, you must cook in a down-to-earth manner, and don't put the cart before the horse. .”

   Fu Yu was stunned by one sentence, what does it mean?

   Zhao Meng said: "Cooking skills are just a way, not an end. I hope you can understand this."

   Fu Yu always listened to what Zhao Meng said.

  Because he knew that Zhao Meng was really kind to him.

  However, the meaning of this sentence.

  Fu Yu savored this sentence carefully: Cooking skills are just a way, not an end.

  After deliberating over and over again, Fu Yu suddenly felt that many things that he hadn't thought about before came to mind.

Zhao Meng continued: "The purpose of cooking is to make dishes that customers love, and skills are just a means to complete cooking. Your cooking skills are solid and talented, I know this very well, but You have to remember that cooking is not just about showing off.”

   "What I'm telling you is that I hope you don't lose yourself in your future cooking studies."

"You're a chef, not a craftsman. You not only need to study cooking skills, but also need to see whether these skills are sometimes used. As a chef, you have to do more than just cook well For a dish, it is necessary to clearly understand all the ingredients, identify the adjustments in taste, enrich the cooking ideas, improve the operation skills, and take into account the design of the dishes while cooking."

   "So, you must not be overly arrogant, and you must not lose yourself just because you have cooked a few special dishes. The road to learning to cook is very long, and the cooking skills are extensive and profound. You still have a lot to learn and experience!"

   "You must be alert at all times!"

   Zhao Meng's words were heartfelt, but in terms of attitude, he unknowingly brought a bit of the state of Lao Tzu training his son.

  He himself didn't realize it at all.

  Fu Yu listened carefully, he knew that Zhao Meng was doing it for his own benefit, and his attitude towards his own family like Zhao Meng was also very helpful.

   Especially Zhao Meng's words made him secretly glad that he was not complacent because of the help of the system and the various nobles he met later, but woke up in time.

  Even these earnest words made him more sober.

   How many dishes do you cook yourself?

  Even those dishes practiced in the teaching practice classroom are at best learned.

   But which ones are really applied in daily cooking work?

  After mastering the cooking skills of these dishes, can he really use them flexibly and turn them into his own skills?

   His steps, his cooking skills, etc.

   It is true that there is a specialization in the technical industry.

  If you want to deal with your daily work, you only need to do a good job of cooking.

  However, can someone who only cooks ordinary dishes become an excellent chef, or even a qualified and recognized celebrity chef?

  Even if you are in the back kitchen, it is impossible to just cook with your head down.

For the flexible use of ingredients, cooking skills, seasoning ratios, fire control, plate presentation, and even the cooperation with orderers and passers-by, as well as help kitchens and small workers around, all of these are Indispensable!

   Cooking skills are exquisite and there are many advantages, but in addition to skills, there are actually more skills that we can master and use flexibly!

  Any chef who is in charge of cooking, let alone Zhao Meng, has cooking skills and experience that Fu Yu can't match.

  Because both cooking skills and cooking experience require a process of accumulation.

   During every cooking operation, Fu Yu can get a lot of relevant knowledge, but he can't make himself a meager chef, but an excellent chef.

  From receiving orders to cooking, from handling the spoon to the final presentation, all processes require self-improvement.

  After all, when you become an excellent chef, you are the one who is trusted by the customers who enter the store, the reliance of all the staff in the back kitchen, and the backbone of the normal operation of the store, so you must work hard to improve yourself.

  Learning to cook is an endless road.

   If you want to really make a name for yourself in this industry, you must have a determination to live and learn!

  After Zhao Meng finished speaking, he was full of emotions in his heart. He picked up his wine glass and took a leisurely sip.

   Fu Yu fell into his own thoughts.

   One of the two was drinking, the other was in a daze.

  As a bystander, Yao Shi felt a little amused.

  He has known Zhao Meng for nearly twenty years, so he knows this person well.

  So, he can especially understand Zhao Meng's thoughts on Yu Yu's single-minded support and cultivation.

  However, sometimes, good advice is hard to hear.

   Zhao Meng spoke too bluntly, obviously with good intentions, but asking him to say this, on the contrary, brought a bit of reprimand.

  Yao Shi took a look at these two people, smiled and said: "That's right, Xiao Fu, what Lao Zhao said is really earnest."

  Fu Yu nodded in agreement when he heard the sound.

  Yao Shi continued: "Actually, there is only tradition in this cooking, there is no authenticity, there is no fixed taste, and there is no fixed method of cooking. Those who are palatable are precious, which is the truth of cooking innovation."

   "And what Lao Zhao wants to tell you is actually to learn cooking first, learn morality, how high the morality is, and how deep the art is. Study the theory, be diligent in practice, be modest and prudent, and strive for excellence."

   "After all, with hard work and hard work, only those who have aspirations can achieve things!"

  After Yao Shi had finished speaking, before Fu Yu could speak, Zhao Meng burst out with joy.

He picked up his wine glass and smacked it on the table, and said with a smile: "I just discovered that this learned person just speaks differently, look, I have said a lot of things, and when I come to you, I can sum it up in a few words. "

  Yao Shi also laughed: "Hey! Summarizing is not counted. My words also carry some experience summed up by myself. I am teaching him!"

   Zhao Meng was also amused, and turned to Fu Yu: "Did you hear that? Chef Yao has already given you instructions, so you have to toast him for whatever you say!"

   Fu Yu hurriedly toasted with a glass.

  Yao Shi smiled and cooperated.

  The wine is drunk properly, and the conversation is naturally smooth.

   It took more than two hours to eat a meal.

  Yao Shi and Zhao Meng told Fu Yu a lot of things persuasively, and also talked about a lot of experience in cooking methods, as well as some things they experienced in their own shoes.

   Fu Yu felt that he had benefited a lot.

  Because these are not in the books, they are the life insights summed up by these two people who have been cooking for decades and slowly exploring.

  After eating, Fu Yu rushed to pay the bill.

  Three of them ordered a table of food, only drank, and basically didn't move their chopsticks much.

  Most of the lamb chops were left, and Yao Shi's pilaf was left untouched. There were still two baked buns and half a plate of braised lamb.

   This table of dishes cost more than 800 yuan. Fu Yu felt a little distressed when he saw the leftovers, so he simply asked the waiter to pack them up, and he could take them back for supper.

   Zhao Meng wanted to go back to Dai Li's place, but the car was not on his way, Fu Yu was driven back to the dormitory by Yao Shi.

  On the way, Yao Shi suddenly mentioned the matter of cooking peony fish fillets in Shangshi private restaurant.

  Yao Shi is very interested in this dish, but because of his busy schedule, he has never had time to cook it himself.

  However, Fu Yu's cooking operations at that time gave him a lot of inspiration.

   "Peony fish fillet can be regarded as a kung fu dish. What is important is the chef's knife skills and fire control. This is the key to the success of this dish."

   "Xiao Fu, what do you think if you use sea bass instead of grass carp to make this dish?"

   Fu Yu was taken aback, using sea bass to make peony fillets?

  The fish meat of sea bass is firm and garlic-shaped, easy to taste, and very delicious.

  If it is made of peony fish fillets, it is quite suitable.

  Fu Yu said truthfully: "I think it should be fine."

  Yao Shi laughed: "Besides, since fish fillets can be fried into petal shapes, they can be placed in a variety of shapes."

   Fu Yu looked at Yao Shi in surprise.

  Here is Chef Yao, are you planning to launch new dishes?

   After Yao Shi finished speaking, he smiled lightly and said, "Actually, this innovative dish is a new dish that uses new seasoning ingredients and methods, uses new cooking ingredients, streamlines the production process, and combines nutrition and diet therapy."

  “The introduction of innovative dishes must adapt to the majority of customers. It must be based on some easy-to-obtain raw materials, which are cheap and high-quality so that customers can accept them. Using more common raw materials, through unique ideas, create dishes that customers are happy to enjoy.”

   "So, although this peony fish fillet is beautiful in style and tastes good, the cooking process is too cumbersome and it is not suitable for ordinary restaurant sales."

   "So, maybe after streamlining the operation method, it can become the main dish of a big banquet."

   This remark is not so much a discussion with Fu Yu, but rather Yao Shi trying to clear his mind.

   Fu Yu looked at Yao Shi convinced.

  Look at people's vision, this idea!

  Through a dish, you can think of a way to make money.

   Really deserves him to make a fortune!
