The fire kept burning, because the wine had ethanol, so the flames kept sticking to the surface of the wine contained in the jar.

The strong aroma of wine continues to flow out, which shows that the vintage of this old wine is definitely enough.

In this way, they waited quietly until the flames in the jar naturally went out.

"This fire must be washed away until it is destroyed by itself, so as to ensure that all the wine inside is burned dry. After there is no wine, the rest is what we want."

Chen Nian nodded and wrote down this. Although his idea was overturned yesterday, burning the ethanol in the wine and using the remaining liquid was an operation that Chen Nian had never thought about before.

And this is also called fried wine by them.

Mr. Huo asked Chen Nian to work hard to lift the jar containing the wine, then tore open the lotus leaves on the clay pot containing the ingredients, and pour the rice wine in.

At this time, there was no smell of wine, but the strong aroma of food.

"You must remember to control the wine when making this dish. Just like many people do not make wine at home, but instead turn the wine into vinegar. And we are the same.

If it is not good, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall will be sour if you pour this into it.

Think about how sour wine can taste good?”

Chen Nian thought about it, then shook his head: "It's not delicious."

"That's right, so when boiling, you must control the wine and remember all the steps I just did, and you must also remember one thing: the quality of the wine is related to the year and the finished product. In short, in the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall

Every ingredient has its own function.”

It feels like aged dishes, every time you add seasoning and every ingredient to add one ingredient, it has its own purpose. Whether or not any of the two ingredients matches the taste is very important to it and can play a role.

What kind of function and what kind of smell it provides are constantly experimented with.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible that the Buddha jumped over the wall from now on to the future. The practice of Buddha jumping over the wall has not changed much.

The only possibility of change is some kitchen utensils.

After pouring the processed rice wine into the clay pot, stir it briefly to make it even. Then Mr. Huo found a piece of lotus leaf and covered it on it, and then tied a rope at the neck of the clay pot to avoid air leakage

.

A lid was also placed on it to press the lotus leaves tightly.

This is done, whether it is boiled or stewed. Since the gas cannot be discharged, the mist that evaporates from the surface comes to the lotus leaves, condenses into water droplets, and drips back into the clay pot.

This soup becomes more and more fragrant and thicker.

In addition, the chicken parts are mostly put in this time, and the grain poured in later, the more you boil, the more you taste it will be.

"Okay, go back and have a rest. I don't have much work today. I'll have to stew this for eight hours later. It's already afternoon after I'm ready. Come again in the afternoon."

Then Mr. Huo said.

Chen Nian nodded: "Master, then don't you need someone to watch here?"

"No." Mr. Huo was obviously very confident in his Buddha Jumping over the wall. After all, he would do it several times on the boat every year, and he was already familiar with the steps in it and could not be more familiar with it.

"Just keep simmering slowly over low heat."

After hearing that Mr. Huo didn't need anyone to guard here, Chen Nian cleaned up other parts of the kitchen and prepared to go back and rest.

Although he didn't do much work in the morning.

But since the master wants to give himself a holiday, Chen Nian also feels that there is no need to be pretentious. He can't make anything at this time. Even if he wants to practice, it will be fine. Not to mention that he just had breakfast in the morning.

, Chen Nian is not hungry at all now.

Then the two left the kitchen.

Mr. Huo still has a lot of daily affairs to deal with, so he won't go back to rest for the time being. Chen Nian is willing to help share some of it, but when he thinks that most of these are decision-making or financial affairs, it is not appropriate to participate in it.

.

But when the two parted, Chen Nian said again: "Master, if you need anything to help me, please call me. I still have a lot of things."

"Don't worry, you are my apprentice. I don't need anyone you use. You go back and rest first. I will call you when you need to work."

After hearing this, Chen Nian went back to rest with confidence, but even when he went back, Chen Nian thought about using hot soy sauce before and then using the wine soup to make the original soup operation a little amazing.

"This move is really wonderful." Chen Nian sighed all the way.

After returning, Chen Nian even thought about it carefully. This method can be used when he goes back and studies other dishes in the future.

But how to use it specifically has to wait until later to think about it slowly.

Since I was on vacation, I didn’t need to go to the kitchen at noon.

There are three options for having lunch. The first is to make it yourself in the kitchen above, and the second is to go to other kitchens to get the meals of other employees. You will definitely be able to eat enough with your own face.

The third is to go to the restaurant to order food.

After thinking about it, Chen Nian chose the third one. Anyway, I am not short of money now.

So Chen Nian came to the restaurant on the first floor at noon and ordered two dishes and a bowl of rice.

As a result, as I was eating, I suddenly felt a person standing in front of me: "Handsome guy, do you mind if I sit here?"

"Of course I don't mind, this is a public area." Chen Nian shrugged and did not refuse.

At first glance, the other party was a beautiful woman with long golden hair and big wavy hair.

Something that looks pretty pretty, Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But after just taking a look, I continued to lower my head and eat.

"Handsome guy, I come to the restaurant for dinner every day, why haven't I seen you before?"

After sitting down, the blonde beauty ordered a fish appetizer, a steak, a dessert, and a cup of coffee. Then she looked curiously at the promise to let herself sit down and never looked up.

My old man asked.

"I rarely come to the restaurant for dinner." Chen Nian finally swallowed the rice and vegetables in his mouth before answering.

But after saying that, he buried his head and continued to eat.

Chen Nian eats very fast, which is not necessary for any occasion. Her purpose is just to fill her stomach, so she doesn’t care about elegance.

The blonde beauty looked at Chen Nian, who was like a windy cloud, and wanted to speak several times, but in the end she found that Chen Nian hadn't looked at her at all, so she never had a chance.

At the same time, she thought to herself that although the old man looked elegant and handsome, she was also very tall, although she was an oriental person.

The dishes ordered are not cheap either. Why do they look like someone snatching him?

I just ate the dishes worth tens of dollars and felt like I had a few cents.

It’s like eating steak without cutting into small pieces, but eating it in a whole piece.

But she was destined to not answer this question without asking Chen Nian.

So much so that Chen Nian called the waiter to pay after eating.

"Master Chen, a total of ninety dollars."

Chen Nian nodded, then took out a hundred dollars from his pocket: "Thank you for your hard work, please clean up these things, the rest is tips."

While saying that, he picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth.

"Thank you, Master Chen." The waiter was very happy to receive a tip of ten dollars at once. After all, the ten dollars in this period are several hundred dollars compared to the later generations.

Chen Nian's tip alone is worth his nearly two days' salary.

After paying the money, Chen Nian smiled politely at the lady, then turned around and left.

This action made the blonde beauty feel a little unconfident.

"What's his name you just said?"

"Master Chen?"

After hearing this, the waiter smiled and shook his head: "This guest, no, Master Chen is a Chinese way of addressing them. He is a chef here, and Master is a respectful title, so we usually call him "

He is Master Chen.”

As a result, the blonde beauty was shocked after hearing this: "He is the chef on the boat? Why didn't he cook at noon, but ran outside to eat?"

"It's such a lady. Master Chen is different from other masters. He is a student of the chef on our boat. If it was the last time the boat went from Hong Kong to San Francisco, you could still eat the dishes he made, but now he only gives

The chef helped, and it was really not easy to eat the dishes he cooked.

Of course, if you can eat our chef Mr. Huo’s dishes, maybe this Master Chen will also participate.”

The blonde nodded thoughtfully.

But no matter what the blonde beauty thinks, this is destined to be just a small episode for Chen Nian. Although she thinks she looks good, it is just an appreciation of beauty. If Chen Nian wants to see a handsome man, he will do it.

I'll have this idea in my mind.

There is no distinction between men and women in the matter of America.

There is no distinction between species.

In the afternoon, Chen Nian read the book in the room for a while and took some notes. It felt like the time was almost over, so he went upstairs and came to Mr. Huo's kitchen again.

Although it is still about an hour before the Master said that it will take eight hours to simmer on low heat, it is always right to come here in advance.

Although so far, it is impossible to open the lid and open the lotus leaves to see, it is still OK to listen to the sound next to you.
