Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

Chapter 71 Dragon and Phoenix Soup

"Boss, when did you know so much?" Zhuzi was shocked after hearing Ji Yi's words.

"There are still many things you don't know. Add your firewood. When the fire under the stove goes out, I will ask you." Lin Yi said with a smile.

Zhu Zhu quickly took a look at the stove fire, which was still burning brightly.

Well, fortunately.

"By the way, Zhu Zhu, if you want to learn to be a chef, I can teach you." Ji Yi said to Zhu Zhu.

When Lin Yi opened a restaurant in his previous life, the chef at the back was the restaurant's chef. His skills were pretty good, and he had some real experience from Lin Yi.

Compared with his archery skills, his marksmanship is much more reliable.

But, it depends on whether Zhuzi wants to learn it or not.

If Zhu Zhu doesn't want to learn to be a chef, then Ji Yi doesn't bother to teach him.

Because he has no plans to open a restaurant in this life.

When you come back from rebirth, you can't go back to the old ways.

Moreover, there are so many ways for him to make money. Opening a restaurant is the most difficult one and the money comes slowly.

"Boss, is it really possible? Then I really want to learn." Zhu Zhu's eyes lit up.

"Okay, little sister, you go add more firewood and ask Zhuzi to come over and help me." Ji Yi said to Lin Rourou.

Lin Rourou said oh and ran over to change places with Zhuzi.

This wasn't the first time she added firewood.

When I'm at home, my mother basically cooks and my younger sister adds firewood.

Familiar with the road.

"Zhu Zhu, you have cut all these side dishes." Ji Zhu asked Zhu Zhu to start learning by chopping vegetables.

If you want to be a chef, you must have solid basic skills.

These days, there are no fancy kitchen aids from later generations. Slicing, shredding, and juicing are all done by hand.

Nothing like the later generations, they are all so advanced.

Everything can be helped with tools.

Even the cooking machine was invented.

"Be careful with the knife, don't cut your hand. Also, hold the knife in a standard posture so that you can cut vegetables effortlessly." Lin Yi looked at Zhu Zhu cutting vegetables and corrected some of his postures when holding the knife.

Why is it not easy to cut it?

How to cut it with less effort.

There are techniques and methods for these.

Instead of practicing all at once.
If you practice like that for several months, you may not make any progress.

"Is there so much to learn about cooking?" Zhu Zhu muttered: "Well, boss, I'm not saying that your teaching is not good."

"360 lines, no line is easy. Is hunting easy?" Ji Yi shook his head.

The pillar was silent.

Yes, there is no delicious food in the world.

Some jobs seem very simple and easy, but they are only very simple for others. Why don't you try it?I understand why others find it so easy.

The details are all in daily practice.

"It's easy to get started in the chef profession, but it's still a bit difficult to become a top chef." Lin Yi said to Zhu Zhu.

Just talk about the eight major cuisines. If you want to learn all of them, it is basically impossible.

In addition to the eight major cuisines, China also has a wide variety of local cuisines, and there are so many of them. There are no less than thousands of famous dishes.

If you want to finish studying, how is that possible?

Even if Lin Yi worked in the hotel industry for decades in his previous life, he still dare not say that he has entered the hotel industry.

All I can say is that I have some experience with Northeastern cuisine.

As for other cuisines, I only know a little bit about it.

But now, there are still many dishes that Ji Yi has only heard of but has never cooked.

Zhu Zhu has cut the side dishes, and his knife skills can only be described as average.

But after all, it was the first time, and Ji Yi was very satisfied with being able to cut it so quickly.

There is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

After the preparations were done, Ji Yi started cooking.After cleaning the pot, Ji Yi poured half of the well water into the pot.

Nowadays, the water in the kitchen is space well water that Ji Yi changed in advance. It is much better than ordinary water, both in taste and taste.

It tastes smoother and has a hint of sweetness.

Lin Yi cut the snake meat into small pieces and put it into the pot under cold water.

Zhuzi watched carefully from the side, but it was just that there was too much water.

Lin Yi told Zhuzi that the essence of the dragon and phoenix soup dish is that water cannot be added halfway.

Because snake meat is different from other meats.

If water is added halfway, the meat will become woody and the texture and taste will be bad.

So you have to add enough water in advance.

"Little sister, I need a big fire next. The stronger the fire, the better." Lin Yi told Lin Rourou.

Lin Rourou nodded: "Brother, I promise to complete the task. It's all on me."

Although she works hard, she is really not interested in the food in the pot.

She had already made up her mind that she would not eat it later.

Ji Yi covered the pot and waited for the water to boil over high heat before talking.

After about ten minutes, the water in the pot began to boil.

Lin Yi asked the younger sister to turn to Xiaohuo.

Next, there is no need to use high heat, but to cook over low heat, that is, simmer.

It does have some meaning in boiling medicine.

This is quite a test for those who add firewood.

Mastering the heat is the key to the success of a dish.

Next, there is a long wait.

Lin Yi asked Xiaomei and Zhuzi to take turns.

This dish requires a full three or four hours of cooking, which would be too difficult for one person to watch over the fire.

Two people rotate, everyone can accept it.

"Good guy, now I know boss, why did you put so much water in? It turns out it takes so long to cook." Zhuzi exclaimed.

"Yes, because it is snake meat, this dish takes more time, and you don't have to rush it. If you don't cook it long enough, you won't be able to kill the parasites in the snake meat."

Ji Yi looked at the current time, took Zhu Zhu to the living room to watch TV, and asked Zhu Zhu to replace the younger sister in half an hour.

About an hour later, Ji Yi added the chicken that had been cut into pieces and continued cooking.

After that, some more ingredients were added.

In fact, after cooking for an hour, the aroma in the kitchen was already very strong.

Zhu Zhu and Lin Rourou couldn't help but swallow when they smelled the fragrance.

It's also so fragrant.

The soup is rich in flavor and overflowing with aroma.

Time passed little by little.

Every half an hour, Ji Yi will open the lid of the pot and see what's going on inside.

When the juice is almost collected, the time is up to three hours.

This dish is ready to be cooked.

"It's almost done, Zhu Zhu, do you want to try it? I'll serve you a bowl." Ji Yi said to Zhu Zhu.

Zhuzhu nodded quickly.

After waiting for several hours, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. He could not resist the temptation of this delicious food.

And this stuff smells so good.

At first, he felt that he was still very resistant to snake meat, but when he smelled the fragrance, he put all the thoughts in his mind behind him.

"Brother, can I try it too." Lin Rourou weakly raised her hand.

"Of course, silly girl, you can eat whatever you want." Ji Yi said to Lin Rourou dotingly.

"This dish is not only delicious, but it is also a dish that can cure diseases." Ji Yi said to Zhu Zhu and Lin Rourou.
