Chapter 213: Cold Shredded Potatoes

When Yang Chengzhi heard this, he smiled bitterly, and was shot while lying down, didn't he just come over to cook a meal, this brother Wang thought that he was Tong Guò Li Shuya and wanted to work in the back kitchen.

"Brother Wang, I don't have those things, I just came over to cook a meal for Manager Li, you don't need this stove, it doesn't affect you, I'll leave after cooking this meal for Manager Li." Yang Chengzhi said with a smile.

"Nothing, kid this is the Chenguang Hotel, the Chenguang Hotel knows no, the five-star hotel, not the noodle stall on the street, don't leave as soon as possible, don't be embarrassed here, and besides, the stove in this kitchen is not used by anyone who wants to use it, the ocean went to try his skills, or if it doesn't work, don't use the stove in this kitchen."

Yang Chengzhi was speechless, no matter what he said, people thought that he wanted to enter the kitchen through the back door, but he also admired this Brother Wang, in general hotels, I heard that it was the general manager who brought him, and the chef didn't give face to the general manager, this Brother Wang was good, and he didn't even give Li Shuya's face.

The chef walked past a young man in his twenties and eighties, "Little brother, this place can't be entered through the back door, if it doesn't work, hurry up and pack up and go back, find an ordinary restaurant to exercise for a few years first."

Yang Chengzhi smiled at him, he knew that this was the chef Haiyang that Brother Wang had called over to test him, he didn't speak, he turned around and picked up the potatoes prepared by the two side dish workers.

These potatoes were peeled by the side dish worker, Yang Chengzhi padd the potatoes in his hand, took a knife on the knife holder, and cut off the sharp end of the potato.

Place the potatoes on the chopping board, hold the potatoes with the index finger of your left hand, hold the ring finger on the middle finger of your left hand, and place the knife on the potatoes with your right hand to start cutting the potatoes into chips.

Those cooks and side dish workers in the kitchen were happy when they saw Yang Chengzhi's knife, this is simply a rookie.

They all know that they use a knife with a thin back to cut potato slices and shredded potatoes, so that the cut potato slices or shredded potatoes will not push the cut vegetables too open, and it is easier to cut.

And this new buddy is using a small machete to chop bones to cut potatoes, this is not a rookie anything, and a few chefs can't help but laugh out loud. Even the two side dish workers who served Yang Chengzhi felt faceless.

Xin said: "What kind of person did Manager Li bring, even the lady who washed the dishes in the restaurant would not use a machete when cutting potatoes."

Yang Chengzhi didn't pay attention to them at all, but slowly cut potatoes with a machete, in fact, Yang Chengzhi also had his intentions, and he didn't know how to cut potatoes with a thin-backed knife. He wanted to scare the cooks in the kitchen so that they wouldn't bother him.

When he was very young, the old man told him to cut potatoes with a knife bigger than this one, and at that time he had a hard time lifting the machete, let alone slicing it.

At that time, he also complained that the potato was cut with a thin-backed knife, which was told by the old man, but the old man told him that he could do anything, and if he could use a machete to cut out shredded potatoes that could thread a needle, then what could be done with a thin-backed knife could be imagined.

This practice is several years, and finally the shredded potatoes cut with a machete are evenly thick, and they can be threaded with needles.

After a while, the two potatoes turned into dozens of translucent slices, Yang Chengzhi pressed the cut potato slices with his left hand, put the blade of the machete under the potato slices, and gently shoveled, dozens of potato slices ran to the wide machete.

Yang Chengzhi took out two pieces of tofu from the ice water basin, put them on the board, and glanced back at the ocean standing behind him, "Look, if you can do this, I'll pack up my things and leave, if you can't do it, don't come and disturb me", as he spoke, he also glanced at Brother Wang and the group of chefs who were standing not far away.

He wiped the potato slices on the spot, and the dozens of potato slices were evenly spread on the tofu that had just been fished out, Yang Chengzhi held down the potato slices with his left hand, raised the machete, and chopped it down, and saw that the light of the machete kept flashing, but he couldn't hear a sound.

It was useless for a minute, Yang Chengzhi stopped the knife, put the blade on the surface of the tofu, and gently shoveled all the potato slices that seemed to have not been touched on the machete, and wiped the potato slices on the machete into the water basin that had been prepared.

As soon as the potato slices enter the water, they spread out in all directions and become filaments of uniform thickness, each of which looks as if it were transparent.

Putting down the machete, Yang Chengzhi asked lightly, "Can you do it", but there was no sound behind him, he looked back and saw the chef Ocean and a group of chefs behind him, as if they had been pointed, all surrounded behind him in a daze, their eyes full of shock.

"What's wrong with you, I can still use a stove with my skills," Yang Chengzhi raised his voice and asked.

Hearing Yang Chengzhi's question, the group of people standing behind him came back to their senses, raised their hands in unison, and clapped them vigorously. Brother Wang was shocked, and said embarrassedly, "Little brother, we are blind, not masters, you can use this kitchen as you like, and you will be the chief chef of Chenguang Hotel in the future."

Yang Chengzhi shook his head, "Brother Wang, it's funny, I'm a farmer, I don't dare to come to this kind of place, I'm friends with Manager Li, she invited me to come over today to help cook a few dishes." I also tasted the dishes you made at noon, and they tasted good, but I put a little more effort into the pairing of the dishes."

Yang Chengzhi said this, the chefs in the kitchen couldn't help but nodded, they have been working together for a long time, and the dishes they made always felt that there were still some shortcomings, and now Yang Chengzhi said that they suddenly realized that the lack of the dishes they made was matching.

"Little brother, thank you for the suggestion, can I take a look at the tofu on the board", it seems that Brother Wang still wants to prove what he thinks.

Yang Chengzhi saw what he meant, and said in his heart: This Brother Wang will definitely be able to get ahead in cooking skills in the future.

And more than ten years later, the chef "machete king" in the World Chef Competition. After winning the championship, a reporter asked him why he kept using a machete to cut vegetables and cook.

The machete king said one thing that shocked the reporters, the machete king said that more than ten years ago, he saw a young man in his twenties, this young man made a cold potato shredd, and the tool used was a machete to chop bones.

And the shredded potatoes are cut out on a piece of tofu, the shredded potatoes are evenly thick, and can be threaded with needles, but the tofu is not damaged at all.

The reason why he chose machete to cook was because he wanted to surpass the youth.

The reporter asked him if he had surpassed the youth now that he had become the king of cooks, and the machete king shook his head and said: I can't cut shredded potatoes on tofu yet, do you think I can surpass him. That youth was his life's goal.

Seeing that Yang Chengzhi agreed, Brother Wang reached out to get the tofu, and the tofu he picked up was not damaged at all, Brother Wang looked at Yang Chengzhi and said, "Little brother, can I learn from you for a few years."

Yang Chengzhi smiled, "Brother Wang, everyone has their own unique craftsmanship, don't deliberately learn from others, you must know how to create zào." A chef who knows how to create a zào is truly a chef."

Brother Wang nodded thoughtfully, and waved his hand at the large group of people around Yang Chengzhi, "Everyone is busy with their own going, the dishes ordered by the guests will come over in a while, don't disturb the little brother cooking here."
