Guozijian little cook

Chapter 26 Preparing the Roast Duck
Listening to Xiao Nianzhi's explanation of tomorrow, Xiao Siye was about to respond, but Aunt Yu, who was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, suddenly said, "Why don't you just go over and have a look now, there just happen to be two ducks to deal with. It's hot today, and it's easy to break if left for a long time."

As soon as Aunt Yu said, Xiao Nianzhi remembered that Wei Wang even gave them ducks.

According to Aunt Yu, the king of Wei sent people to raise them free-range in Zhuangzi. You can tell from the first hearing that the meat is of good quality.

After Aunt Yu finished speaking, she went to see Xiao Nianzhi, smiled and said: "I'm fine, I just need to get over this energy, get over the test as soon as possible, and let's go in and out of the kitchen freely as soon as possible."

Xiao Nianzhi naturally has no objection, she should be cute.

The three quickly packed up their things, and took the two cleaned ducks to the cafeteria.

On the way, Xiao Siye also talked to Xiao Nianzhi about the issue of remuneration during working hours: "After passing the test, you will only be responsible for supper for the time being, for half an hour every day, if there is no one, you can go back to rest early Okay, build a good relationship with the aunts, and they won't make it difficult for you, and they will give you another two hundred Wen every month."

Xiao Nianzhi is now watering the ground in the backyard, one tael of silver every month.

Under normal circumstances, her job does not have such a good salary, most of them are between [-] and [-] Wen, but Xiao Nianzhi is not a related household.

Adding two hundred wen, the monthly income can be regarded as considerable.

Her daily food and expenses are covered by the academy, there is no expense at all, and her wages are purely earned.

Not only that, Xiao Siye and Aunt Yu will also give daily welfare subsidies.

This job position...

When the related households came, they would all be envious to tears!
The three quickly went to the front yard, and the chefs returned to the dormitory to rest after lunch.

Xiao Siye asked someone to call them all back. Regarding Xiao Nianzhi entering the cafeteria and becoming a supper staff, if the chefs have an idea, they will set up a checkpoint test.

If not, it's officially passed.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that even if it is a checkpoint test, it is just a scene.

Everyone wants to give some face to Aunt Yu and Xiao Siye.

There are four chefs in the canteen, two fat and two thin, the fat chef is a little shorter, the thin chef is relatively tall and strong, the fat chef has a kind smile, and the thin one has a cold face.

Their age was similar to Xiao Siye, Xiao Nianzhi thought about it, and called uncle obediently a few times.

When the two fat masters heard the uncle, they laughed so hard that they couldn't see their teeth. They waved their hands together and said, "Oh, I can't help it, I can't help it. I have something to tell my uncle in the future."

On the other hand, the two thinner masters had elongated faces, and their expressions were not too good-looking.

The two looked at each other, and then one of the chefs surnamed Shui said, "Since you are here in the cafeteria, you must have some food that you are good at, right?"

The tone of Chef Shui's mouth was a little fierce, but also full of momentum.

Xiao Nianzhi was neither humble nor overbearing, and nodded obediently: "Then Yuan Niang will show her shame."

I didn't say too many polite words, just come up and perform.

But, roast duck...

It takes a really, really long time!
If you want the roasted duck to have thin and crispy skin, tender and tasty inside, then you need to control the marinating time and the drying time of the skin.

Xiao Nianzhi briefly said, after the dishes he wanted to make, several chefs looked at each other.

Others either had a cold face, or kept silent with a smile on their faces, and in the end it was Chef Shui who spoke, and Chef Shui was already cursing in his heart.

Damn, let him do all the bad guys, and the three of them are good guys there, I'm pissed!

But there is no way, usually he is among the few people, and his prestige is considered high.

At this time, who will he not give in to?

After thinking it over, Chef Shui sighed: "Then you prepare slowly, and if you need any cooperation, tell the old sisters-in-law."

It took too long to prepare the roast duck, but none of the chefs had the intention of going back to sleep, and they were all here watching Xiao Nianzhi operate.

It's not that they don't believe in Xiao Nianzhi's ability, anyway, it's just a formal test, it's more fucking outrageous than an open-book exam, so there's no need for a proctor.

They are just curious.

After all, they had heard of Xiao Nianzhi's milk taro balls and hot and sour potato noodles before.

At noon yesterday, Chef Shui also tried to copy the hot and sour potato powder. Of course, they didn’t make batches, it was the chef’s own internal experiment.

Because Aunt Cui and the others had eaten before, Chef Shui invited her to come and taste it together.

The result of course...

It's hard to say.

Chef Shui’s daily level is average, now they just listen to the description to copy, what delicious food can be copied?

Failed, Chef Shui summed up himself.

It was also because of this that they became more and more curious about Xiao Nianzhi.

Don't look at everyone's cooking skills, but their mouths are still tricky.

King Wei had already cleaned up the ducks, but Xiao Nianzhi still cleaned them a second time, and then put in onion, ginger, garlic, etc. for the first round of pickling to remove the fishy smell.

This time is not too long, after about a stick of incense, Xiao Nianzhi went to boil water again to scald the skin of the duck.

The pores of the duck skin are tightened after being scalded, and the skin will be more crispy after being baked.

Of course, this is not enough.

After being scalded, the duck needs to be put outside and air-dried for an hour to an hour and a half.

When the duck was drying, Xiao Nianzhi went to adjust the sauce that needed to be brushed when roasting the duck.

The soul of this step is...

honey.

The sugar in the honey will change the color of the skin of the duck to an attractive caramel color, and it will also improve the taste of the duck and make the skin more crispy.

Watching Xiao Nianzhi tirelessly seasoning, brushing and drying the duck over and over again...

Chef Shui couldn't help it, and whispered to Chef Jiang beside him, "Just look at these steps, and you don't need to take the test."

In this regard, Chef Jiang still maintained a cold face, but what he said almost made Xiao Siye who was not far away laugh outright: "I don't want to see it? Then you go, and don't come when the roast is finished. If there is one less person, I can still eat one more bite."

Water Chef:.

Damn, I knew that you people have a lot of tricks!
Not to mention the final result, just toss with so many seasonings, the taste of the roasted ones can't be worse than specified.

Chef Jiang swallowed calmly, and began to look forward to it secretly.

When the setting sun slowly dyed the sky red and filled the earth, Xiao Nianzhi dried the duck for more than an hour, finally brushed it with sauce, stuffed apples in the belly, and put it on the oven to roast.

There is a special baking room in the cafeteria, which has a stove and a baking cellar, which can be said to be more convenient, quicker and easier to use than Zhuangzi's, saving Xiao Nianzhi from thinking about how to bake this thing.

When the students came to the cafeteria at meal time, the aroma of roast duck was coming from the roasting room at the back.

The rich meaty fragrance was mixed with a hint of sweet soft fragrance, wrapped in boundless spring and the sky filled with sunshine, rushing into the nostrils of the students domineeringly.

Students:? ? ?

I have a good meal today, hurry up! ! !
