Chapter 1368: The Charm of a Kitchen Knife
Yuan Zhou agreed very happily, and Hang Tian also put away the seriousness on his face and laughed instead.
"I knew Chef Yuan was a cheerful person. Hang Tian said as he took off a cowhide bag he was carrying.
Hang Tian took off the bag very gently, and when he put it on the stone table, the bag that didn't look light didn't even make a sound.
The whole color of this cowhide bag is brownish-black, and the skin looks soft and smooth, and it is obvious that it is often touched.
And the shoulder straps are a little worn, and I think I often carry them around.
"Well, that's what I'm eating with. Hang Tian gently touched the cowhide bag but did not open it, and then said.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get the knife. Yuan Zhou nodded solemnly, and then said.
"Okay, let's go. Hang Tian nodded.
A few minutes later, Yuan Zhou came back with two knives, these were two kitchen knives, a miracle kitchen knife with abnormal sharpness produced by the system, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a sharp weapon for blowing hair and breaking hair.
The other is a kitchen knife that Yuan Zhou usually uses about the same number of times as a miracle kitchen knife, this knife is provided by the system at the beginning, and then the one Yuan Zhou used when he first learned to sharpen the knife.
The handle of these two knives is wooden, and the wood grain on it is clear and shiny, but it looks very handy, and it is a knife that is often used.
Along with Yuan Zhou, there were two cutting boards and a bamboo basket.
The "bang" cutting board was placed on the stone table by Yuan Zhou, and one piece was pushed to the right hand side of Hangtian's convenient access, while the basket was placed in the middle of the table, and inside was some fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as a piece of tofu and two bowls filled with water.
Yuan Zhou's hand in putting the basket is also very light, and it is skillful, not to mention that the water in the basket is not spilled, even if the water surface fluctuates.
This shows the stability of Yuan Zhou's hand.
"Chef Yuan's hands are very steady. Hang Tian saw it at a glance.
"That's as it should be. "Yuan Zhou Road.
"Yes, steady hands are indeed what a chef should do. Hang Tian nodded in agreement.
"This is my knife, this is called a miracle kitchen knife, sharp and not smelly, this knife without a name but the knife I have used since I opened the store. Yuan Zhou pointed to the two kitchen knives and introduced them one by one.
Yuan Zhou didn't say that this was his partner or anything, but his solemn expression could see the significance of these two kitchen knives to him.
"Then I'll talk about my knife too. Hang Tian opened the leather bag to reveal the knives inside.
The cowhide bag is layered on top of each other, and when you open it layer by layer, you can see a kitchen knife inserted inside, this knife looks plain, but from the wear and tear of the handle on it, you can see that this knife has been used for many years.
The blade is wider than the normal blade, but the back of the blade is one-third narrower than the normal menu, which is thought to be the result of constant polishing.
On the side of the kitchen knife, there are some pouches of different sizes that are convenient for inserting knives, but now they are empty.
"This knife has been following me for ten years since the first Huaiyang Cuisine Food and Culture Festival was held, and it has been ten years. "Hang Tian Dao.
"You are very well maintained. "Yuan Zhou Road.
"Indeed, this knife is nothing special, if it weren't for careful maintenance, it wouldn't be able to stay now. Hang Tian nodded.
"Then I'll use this knife today. Yuan Zhou pointed to the knife without a name and said.
"No, just let me see this knife, it's a good knife. Hang Tian hurriedly shook his head and refused.
As a chef, a chef with excellent knife skills, he can naturally recognize that miracle kitchen knife, whether it is from the quality of polishing, the material of the knife body to the material of the wooden handle, it is the best, and the ingredients cut by such a knife are naturally also superb.
Coupled with the knife work shown by Yuan Zhou in the video, Hang Tian really wants to see it.
"Okay, then I'll use this one at the end. Yuan Zhou nodded.
"That's good. "Hang Tian Dao.
"Although the current state banquet is based on our Huaiyang cuisine, it is only fancy the exquisiteness and fineness of our Huaiyang cuisine, the food material is simple, and it is easy to take, but our Huaiyang cuisine is also facing time-consuming workmanship and excessive knife requirements, and the taste is light or sweet, which is not as easy to get started as your Sichuan cuisine and is popular with the public. Hang Tian picked up the kitchen knife and said while wiping it.
"Each cuisine has its own merits, but knife work is the foundation. Yuan Zhou said indifferently.
"Yes, but now how many people can calm down and do chores for three years before learning to cook. "Hang Tian Dao.
"There will always be. Yuan Zhou remembered the diner who went to learn magic.
Since Yuan Zhou introduced him, there have been fewer diners coming to the restaurant, but every time he comes to Yuan Zhou, he can see his changes.
Whether it is the more and more peaceful and indifferent temperament, or the empty-handed tricks that pop up from time to time at that time, it shows his hard work and seriousness.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's still exchange knife skills. Hang Tian pointed to the vegetables and fruits in the bamboo basket and said.
"Okay. Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Chef Yuan has a heart, this is Baoying lotus lotus root, the quality is very good, it is the same quality as the lotus root used in the state banquet, good ingredients. Hang Tian saw the thin white lotus root at a glance, and couldn't help but be surprised when he looked closely.
Hang Tian was not only surprised that Yuan Zhou could come up with such excellent ingredients, but also sighed at Yuan Zhou's carefulness.
The dishes in this bamboo basket are all from the Yangzhou area, this Baoying lotus root, Yangzhou local mushrooms, and the two familiar tofu and so on are all familiar ingredients in Hangtian.
"Well, it did come from the pond where the lotus root was used for the state banquet. Yuan Zhou did not shy away from it, and said frankly.
"Chef Yuan is a good method. Hang Tian exclaimed.
"No, it's just a great supply. Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.
"It's not something that the average person can buy. Hang Tian said, and at the same time, he looked forward to Yuan Zhou's cooking skills even more.
"It's better to start with this lotus root, this is a crispy lotus root, it is best to eat it cold and raw, although it is not its best season, but the taste is almost the same, you can try it. Yuan Zhou didn't say much, but pointed directly to the lotus root.
"Good. Hang Tian nodded.
"You choose first. Yuan Zhou stretched out his hand and gestured.
"Then the old man is welcome. Hang Tian was indeed not polite, and directly chose a beautiful and crisp seven-hole lotus root.
"You please. "Yuan Zhou Road.
When I got it in my hand, I found that the color of this lotus root is fine, and the fragrance of the white lotus root is also very sufficient, which is obviously the beauty red in the Baoying lotus root, which is sweet and crisp, and tastes like a duck pear.
But it's okay to eat this kind of lotus root raw, and it's a trouble to slice it truthfully, because it's too brittle, and there are holes in the middle, and it's easy to break from the holes when you cut it.
It's okay to cut thickly, but if it's thin, it's a real test of knife skills.
"Let's not compare speed this time, old man, I'm not as old as Chef Yuan, why don't we try how thin this crispy lotus root can be." Hang Tian proposed.
"Good. Yuan Zhou responded directly.
"Let's get started. "Hang Tian Dao.
This time, Yuan Zhou just nodded and didn't say much, just put on a mask and cut it.
