Chapter 37 This is how I learned to take pictures of cucumbers
Zhang Yong's jumping up and down was seen by the other chefs. Master Hong Henian had a job on his hands, so he pouted and said to the apprentice next to him: "Go and see what evil moth happened again."
Ye Xiangqun put down the plate in his hand and walked over. He was startled when he heard Zhang Zhangyong's last two words and asked quickly: "What happened?"
Zhang Yong's face was full of sneer: "You ask what good things He Yuzhu has done?"
Ye Xiangqun turned to He Yuzhu, his face full of concern.
He Yuzhu said quickly: "I just made hawthorn honey juice and poured it on the cucumber."
I didn’t think much about it when I made it. The cucumber is mainly cool and refreshing, and the taste is also sour, spicy and sweet.
According to He Yuzhu's understanding, he added hawthorn honey juice just to upgrade the seasoning. This is still a cucumber dish.
Then he expressed his doubts. Ye Xiangqun did not comment too much, but just asked:
"Is there anything more? What does it feel like if I try it?"
If we strictly distinguish them, they are actually two dishes. When patting cucumbers, the emphasis is on cutting the cucumbers in half and then patting them with a kitchen knife.
The seasonings used are also sesame oil, garlic, cooking wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, coriander, chili vinegar, etc.
The production method is indeed different from hawthorn and honey cucumber.
But they are both cold dishes mixed with cucumbers. If you want to say that the two dishes are the same, you can also say that they are the same dish.
After all, there is no uniform standard for cooking. Even if the name of a dish is the same, chefs from different places do it differently.
There is no standard production process for this either.
Ye Xiangqun immediately thought of declining. He Yuzhu could just say what he had learned, and that was how he did cucumbers.
With this statement, it was hard for others to say anything. After all, He Yuzhu only officially started working in the Liangcai District today.
"There's more." He Yuzhu quickly prepared another serving of cucumbers. Ye Xiangqun reached out and picked one without using chopsticks, and put it in his mouth to taste.
Sure enough, it is different from ordinary cucumbers. It is crunchy, sweet, and has the sour taste of hawthorn.
Generally speaking, the taste is better than cucumber, and it is also in line with the taste of Beijing people.
He couldn't help but nodded: "Not bad."
Zhang Yong was a little angry, thinking that Ye Xiangqun said this deliberately to reduce He Yuzhu's guilt.
"Stop saying nice things to him. What's the use of cucumbers no matter how delicious they are?"
Zhang Yong said: "The customer asked for cucumbers, but here are cucumber strips. It is obviously different. Isn't this a private change of dishes?"
The appearance of the two dishes is different. Everyone has seen cucumbers. In the summer, this dish is often cooked at home.
But cucumber with yam and honey juice is made by cutting the cucumber into segments, then cutting it into strips with a horizontal knife, placing it neatly and pouring hawthorn honey juice over it.
The appearance of the two dishes was completely different, so Zhang Yong felt that he had the evidence.
He Yuzhu suddenly said: "Can't I just pat the cucumbers and then pour the juice on them?"
After speaking, He Yuzhu took a cucumber, smashed it into pieces, put it on a plate, and then poured the prepared hawthorn honey juice over it.
A fresh plate of hawthorn honey cucumbers is ready in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yong was dumbfounded. Looking at it now, this cucumber was made from a cucumber. Although it was poured with hawthorn honey juice, it is not wrong to say that this dish was made from a cucumber.
I can only bite the bullet and say: "This is not about cucumber shooting."
He Yuzhu is not stupid, he said: "This is how I learned how to shoot cucumbers."
Ye Xiangqun also nodded: "Yes, this is also a way of patting cucumbers. You can't say this is not cucumber patting."
"You guys"
Zhang Yong was so angry that he couldn't speak. The two of them were obviously messing around.
At this time, Zhang Zusheng hurried over.
Zhang Yong seemed to have a backbone now, and said happily: "He Yuzhu, I said you are going to be in trouble."
He Yuzhu felt a little uneasy. The job of preparing cold dishes was actually very suitable for him to gain experience.
I didn't expect that I might be kicked out after just two days of work. If I changed to another restaurant, I might not be able to do this job. Do I have to set up a stall to sell cold dishes?
Looking at Zhang Zusheng who was getting closer and closer, his expression was still as usual, with no hint of joy, anger or joy at all.
Zhang Zusheng came to the front and asked first: "He Yuzhu, why didn't you explain in advance that you wanted to change the dishes?"
Ye Xiangqun had already winked at him and made lip-syncs just now, so he understood what he meant.
"Master Zhang, this is how I learned how to make cold cucumbers."
He Yuzhu also figured out the delay during this period. Normally, if he ordered food, he would ask for a cucumber.
Maybe some restaurants directly write the words cucumber on the menu, but Tai Feng Restaurant uses the name cucumber cold.
Normally there would be nothing wrong with this name.
But now He Yuzhu is using this name to make a fuss. His cucumbers are not photographed, but cut into long strips, but what does it matter? After all, the menu said it was cucumber salad. If I said that, I had done nothing wrong at all.
Ye Xiangqun secretly gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up.
This reason is really invincible and no one can fault it.
Zhang Yong was a little dumbfounded, then jumped out and accused him: "You are obviously just messing around. What they want is to shoot cucumbers."
“This is how I learned how to pat cucumbers.”
"You didn't even take a picture? Why do you call it a cucumber?"
"Is there a wife in the wife cake? Is there a husband and wife in the couple's lung slices?" He Yuzhu asked.
"You" Zhang Yong was choked and speechless again. Could this be said by a chef?
"Okay, okay, stop arguing."
Zhang Zusheng said: "I just went to the front and asked, and no one said that the dish was not delicious. Since the guests all agree, the matter is over."
"Uncle, didn't you fire him?" Zhang Yong jumped out and asked anxiously.
This is different from the result I thought.
"What expulsion? Our restaurant has never paid much attention to cold dishes. He Yuzhu is good at making cold dishes. This is a good thing."
The main thing is that I asked a few familiar customers in front of me, and they all said that today's cold dishes tasted good, sweet and sour, and quite appetizing.
While speaking, Zhang Yong stopped Zhang Yong's urge to continue talking with his hand, and then criticized: "But if you want to change the dishes next time, let me know. You can't act privately like this."
"Yes, I understand. I didn't know the rules of the restaurant this time. I won't do it next time."
As long as He Yuzhu is not kicked out, it doesn't matter if He Yuzhu is criticized.
After all, the position of cold dish chef can gain one or two hundred experience points a day.
It is the position with the most experience at the moment. He Yuzhu does not intend to leave this position unless it is absolutely necessary.
Even if I was allowed to be the master of Erzao, I would not gain as much experience as preparing cold dishes.
