Chapter 82 Learning Cooking (3)

82
Bo Beibei put Xuan Zhang and charcoal pencils by the stove for later use, and asked Master Rong, "Master Rong, can we start?"

Master Rong showed several ingredients for making sauces to Bo Beibei to identify, and then asked casually while cleaning: "Do you like cooking?"

"I like it very much," Bo Beibei wrote down more than ten kinds of ingredients on the rice paper, paused, and said honestly: "But I don't have the talent to be a cook."

Anyway, Master Rong will find out later, so it's better to confess it yourself first, so that Master Rong can have a mental preparation.

Unexpectedly, Master Rong sneered: "Whoever is born can do everything? There is no talent or talent to be a cook, only hard work or hard work."

Bo Beibei suddenly raised his head and looked at Master Rong. How could this be different from what Jiang said?

Seeing her eyes, Master Rong frowned: "Why, don't you have confidence in yourself?"

"No!" Bo Beibei shook his head: "I'm just worried that Master Rong won't teach me."

"Then it depends on whether you have the perseverance."

Master Rong didn't preach, nor did he say he wouldn't teach, but Bo Beibei knew that he was going to give himself a chance, so he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Thank you, Master Rong." Beibei said with her lips raised.

"Don't thank me so fast, wait until you can bear the pain."

Hearing this, Bo Beibei pondered for a while, and told him that she was leaving the General's Mansion tomorrow.

She can bear the hardship, but learning cooking skills is not something that can be learned in a short while. She is not sure when she will come to the county again, so she has to say hello to Master Rong first.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to learn from me, you can do it at any time, I will teach you how to make this sauce first." Master Rong is not too forceful.

A lot of things need to talk about fate, you can't force it.

"Master Rong, what is this?" Bo Beibei asked as she picked up one of the dark green fruits used for sauce.

"This is called essence fruit, which is specially used to enhance the flavor. This thing is expensive. Only a small town in Jinjin County, Huaibei can grow it. Not to mention the high price, the quantity is also limited, so only the kitchens of royal family and nobles can see it." As far as this thing is concerned, I also obtained more than a dozen flavored fruits for the General's Mansion through a few old acquaintances, and it can only be used for more than half a year if I save it."

This thing is called essence?Bo Beibei was shocked.

But Bai Beibei didn't bother with the name of the fruit, but asked: "Master Rong, is this thing difficult to grow?"

"It's not difficult to grow, but I heard that this thing knows the place, and it can't grow without the soil of that small town in Jinjin County."

Bai Beibei's eyes flickered, and he asked again: "Master Rong, do you know where I can get the seeds of this essence fruit?"

"You can't grow them!" Master Rong poured cold water on Bai Beibei.

The eagerness in Bai Beibei's eyes brought a faint smile to Master Rong's face.

This girl has the potential to be a cook, because he once had the same hope as Bai Beibei when he got the few pitiful flavored fruits back then. He also thought about growing his own flavored fruits so that more people could taste them to this taste.

Bo Beibei didn't know that he planned to plant flavored fruit to make money, but was misunderstood by Master Rong gorgeously, and continued: "Master Rong, I'm just curious about what the seeds of this flavored fruit look like."

"In the jar next to the stove, there are a few flavored fruit seeds that I put away, you can go and see." Master Rong glanced at the stove and said.

"Thank you, Master Rong." Bo Beibei happily walked to the stove and opened the jar, and saw four flat fruit seeds with two pointed ends inside.

Bo Beibei took it out and looked at it carefully for a while, and saw that the fruit core was covered with dark red stripes, varying in depth and light, which could not be discerned unless one looked carefully.

"Master Rong, can I not have this fruit core?" Bai Beibei looked at Master Rong and asked.

"Take them all if you want." The fruit cores are not allowed to be eaten, so he just picked them up casually, and this girl just gave them to her.

"Really?" Bo Beibei's eyes were full of excitement: "Thank you, Master Rong."

"Are you here to learn how to make sauce or to beg for fruit cores? You haven't come here yet!" Master Rong scolded with a smile when he saw Bai Beibei holding the jar like a baby.

Bai Beibei put the fruit core aside first, picked up the pen and paper and walked to the cutting board, listening to Master Rong explaining the taste of each ingredient while cutting the ingredients, and what kind of ingredients it can play with As a result, Bo Beibei listened carefully and recorded it.

Master Rong glanced at what Bai Beibei had memorized, and said, "What's the use of just memorizing, the weight is the most difficult thing to grasp."

Master Rong searched in the kitchen and found a balance scale and put it on the cooking table.

Bai Beibei sweated: "Master Rong, do you still need a scale in the kitchen?"

"When you don't use the scale, you will be a teacher." It turns out that the balance scale is used by a helper. Master Rong has worked in the imperial dining room for decades, and his handling of materials is even more accurate than the scale.

"You first weigh the materials I cut, and make a note. I will only teach you how to do it once later. After you go back, you can practice and figure it out slowly." Seeing that Bai Beibei is so serious, Master Rong is planning to be a hand-swinging master up.

"Ok."

Fortunately, Bai Beibei is no stranger to this balance scale. After weighing more than a dozen ingredients, write down the weight, and then check the more than a dozen ingredients again, so as not to miss it. Put the material under your nose and smell it to see what it smells like.

Seeing that Bai Beibei is so meticulous, Master Rong is still very satisfied.

However, what should be said is: "Learning cooking skills can't be memorized like reading books. Besides, everyone has different tastes. You don't have to make this sauce exactly like mine. If you can innovate, you can do it again." It couldn't be better."

Bai Beibei nodded thoughtfully: "Master Rong, I see."

"Come on, let's heat up the pot." Master Rong said standing by the stove.

Seeing him like this, Bo Beibei knew that he didn't intend to do anything, so he walked over to heat the pot.

Seeing that the pot was almost hot, Master Rong said again: "The order of the ingredients and the time of adding salt will directly affect the taste of the sauce, you have to remember it carefully."

Bo Beibei cheered up, holding the spatula, she would put whatever material Master Rong said to put in, and even stir-fried a few times. will be recorded.

Master Rong patiently guided Bai Beibei to boil the dozen or so ingredients into a sauce. Watching her hesitate when adding oil and salt, Master Rong finally understood why she said she had no talent just now, but this is very important to Master Rong. It is not a big problem to say that, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect, as long as you put your heart into it, you can learn it well.

Seeing that there was no impatience on Master Rong's face and no disappointment in his eyes, Beibei was secretly relieved.
