From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 12 Be clean
  On the way back, Zhang Lei and Yang Peng had already begun to discuss in private who would be responsible for cleaning pig intestines, pig hearts and pig lungs.

These three are the hardest parts to clean.

Especially pig intestines, it can be said that cleaning them is really time-consuming and labor-intensive.

And during the cleaning process of pig intestines, the residue in the intestines is really unbearable.

So after some discussion, Zhang Lei and Yang Peng even proposed guessing the game to determine the outcome.

The loser is responsible for cleaning out the pig intestines.

Li Huidong looked at the two apprentices and was really dumbfounded.

"Do you two hate intestines so much? I see that when you two eat, you don't eat any less than others?"

These words left the two apprentices a bit speechless.

Seeing that the two apprentices were silent, Li Huidong directly ordered: "You two, stop guessing. Go back and clean up together. If you don't clean up, I will let you eat the uncleaned large intestine at noon."

Hearing this, Zhang Lei and Yang Peng suddenly looked bitter.

Feng Zhengming looked at it and smiled and said, "Brother, how about I clean it up?"

Li Huidong said: "Don't always think about doing all the work. You are obviously good at cooking. My senior brother asked you to come to the cafeteria, but he asked you to cook on the stove, not to do odd jobs."

Feng Zhengming said: "Brother, cleaning pig intestines is very troublesome, and it must be cleaned, otherwise it will be more troublesome when we do it later. Moreover, I will make a lunch box at noon and plan to make fried pork intestines to sell. So let me clean it up myself, so I can rest assured."

When Li Huidong saw Feng Zhengming's insistence, he finally had no choice but to agree.

"Ok."

But after agreeing, Li Huidong said to the two apprentices: "You two, pay attention to how your junior uncle cleans it. Remember the whole process. Next time, you two take turns cleaning it for me. Do you remember it?"

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng quickly agreed: "Remember Master."

Back in the kitchen yard behind the cafeteria, this time even Li Huidong unloaded the items from the two large tricycles.

The first thing is to pour all the vegetables out of the bag.

Li Huidong personally led two apprentices to quickly screen.

When buying vegetables from the wholesale market, it is almost impossible to ensure that there are no rotten ones in the bag.

So when you pull it back, you have to take it all out of the bag immediately, and then sift out all the rotten ones.

Feng Zhengming and Li Huidong, together with their two apprentices, took more than half an hour just to pack up the vegetables they bought.

Among them, Li Huidong asked his two apprentices to sift through the rotten ones again with knives.

Cut off the rotten parts and keep using the good parts.

After all this fussing, it took more than an hour without realizing it.

Feng Zhengming was helping to sort out the vegetables, and he also poured out several bags of pig intestines.

Pour all the fresh ones into a large basin, and the frozen ones into another large basin.

First, rinse with clean water until the water in the basin is as clear as possible.

Then Feng Zhengming went to get edible alkali and poured it into the pig intestines in the basin.

Then start scrubbing the surface of the pig intestines.

After scrubbing with edible alkali for a while, Feng Zhengming poured some vinegar into the basin.

After acid-base neutralization, a large amount of foam emerged in the basin.

Feng Zhengming washes carefully and patiently, and even washes every pig intestine carefully.

After scrubbing, rinse with clean water until the water is clear.

After scrubbing and rinsing like this, the pig intestines in the basin have become very white. Many restaurants may complete this step.

But Feng Zhengming did not end it. Instead, he turned over the pig intestines one by one, found a pair of scissors, and carefully twisted out some of the excess fat and bean-like things in the pig intestines. Lose.

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng watched from the side, and they really felt that the young master's handling of the pig intestines was so meticulous.

"Little uncle, do you really have to be so careful?"

"Yes, we used to rinse it several times. Basically, it's enough if the water is clear."

Feng Zhengming said: "Although our canteen is cooking big pot dishes, we must also ensure that the ingredients are handled cleanly. Only by keeping these processing procedures in mind and making them a habit can we ensure that the ingredients can be used whenever cooking. Even if it is handled cleanly, the dishes will be cooked well enough.”

After hearing this, Li Huidong said: "Remember what your junior uncle said, don't let me skip some procedures casually.

Now we are working in the canteen, and maybe we will open our own restaurant in the future. If you can't develop the habit of cleaning up the ingredients, how will you follow me to open a restaurant? "

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng quickly responded: "We remember Master."

Feng Zhengming can be said to be very patient. He really turned over the pig intestines one by one to check.

After wringing out the excess stuff inside, Feng Zhengming carefully rinsed it again.

Finally, we got two large pots of very clean pig intestines.

Looking at the pig intestines in the basin, Zhang Lei and Yang Peng could hardly smell any odor.

After handling the pig intestines, Feng Zhengming also handled the pig lungs and pig hearts very carefully.

All cleaned up.

When Lin Jiacheng came to the kitchen and the kitchen.

Basically, all kinds of ingredients have been cleaned up.

Feng Zhengming and Li Huidong have even led their two apprentices to do the cutting and flavoring of some dishes, and then prepare to open the pot and put it on the stove for cooking.

Lin Jiacheng saw that the four people were very motivated, especially the presence of Feng Zhengming, who obviously shared a lot of work.

He praised: "You can't tell, Zhengming, you really learned a lot from Master Yan."

Feng Zhengming responded with a smile: "Thank you brother-in-law for the compliment. I stayed with the master and learned that the most important thing is to be serious. No matter you are cooking any food or doing anything, including being a human being, you must be serious."

Li Huidong echoed: "Yes, Master said that cooking is the same as being a human being. You must be serious and clean."

Lin Jiacheng said with a smile: "I can confirm now that you two are indeed brothers. Even the tone of speech is almost exactly the same. You really have the true inheritance of Master Yan."

Feng Zhengming and Li Huidong looked at each other and smiled, and then the brothers cooperated and started cooking together on the big stove.

After a whole morning of busy work, as it approaches noon, pot after pot of dishes are being cooked one after another.

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng have also steamed large pots of rice.

And under Li Huidong's arrangement, Zhang Lei and Yang Peng also helped Feng Zhengming clean out three large steamers and two deep soup buckets, which were used to hold vegetables and rice for Feng Zhengming's lunch boxes.

Feng Zhengming prepared three dishes today, one "Dry-fried Fat Sausage", "Braised Eggplant Strips" and "Stir-fried Cabbage".

The vegetables and rice were loaded, and Zhang Lei and Yang Peng helped Feng Zhengming load the tricycle.

Looking at Feng Zhengming who was about to set off, Li Huidong shouted: "Junior brother, be careful on the road and be sure to pay attention to safety."

Feng Zhengming turned back to his senior brother and waved with a smile: "Don't worry, senior brother."

Watching Feng Zhengming pedal away on a tricycle, pulling three pots of vegetables and two buckets of rice.

Lin Jiacheng also admired Li Huidong and said: "Huidong, your junior brother is really a capable person. He can endure hardships and stand hard, and he also has ideas and is willing to work. He will definitely achieve great results in the future."
