The process of making food can make a person truly understand what concentration is.
It's like someone making a pastry with great care.
You may end up making it and eating it in one bite, but the process of making it can make people feel a sense of happiness, well, a full sense of happiness.
Zhao Xun doesn't think cooking is annoying.
Because during the production process one can completely let go.
For example, this stir-fried dish may seem casual, but in fact it requires a lot of hard work.
After Zhao Xun had rested, he followed his third senior brother Long Qingquan to the kitchen and was faced with a table of ingredients.
Zhao Xun first asked the third senior brother to put these delicacies on the eucalyptus board and cut them, and then carefully arranged the positions of the ingredients.
His purpose is to create a sense of ritual, yes, the ritual of cooking!
The sense of ritual is very important if you say it is important, but it is not important if you say it is not.
The key is to see what kind of mentality the cook has.
Zhao Xun himself likes to create a sense of ritual.
Because he feels that a sense of ritual can make a person focused, and being focused can be influential.
When one person is affected, another person is affected.
One after another, one after another, the rhythm is completely different.
Zhao Xun hopes that he can lead others.
Because the driving process can give people an absolute sense of satisfaction.
Satisfaction will immediately bring about common progress.
The most obvious example is that the knife skills of the third senior brother Long Qingquan have become better now.
Not only do you feel more confident when cutting vegetables, but the vegetables you cut out also taste better.
This is not easy.
You know, if you want to truly be a top chef, knife skills are a level that you must pass no matter what.
If your knife skills are not up to par, you won't be able to achieve much success anyway.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan's improvement is quite fast. For now, Zhao Xun is already very pleased.
Of course, if you want to grow faster, you still can't rest on your laurels.
"Well, the dish code is almost ready, we can start frying."
Zhao Xun felt very proud when he saw the conscientiousness of his third senior brother Long Qingquan.
He thought in his heart that he was the one who brought it out. The way the third senior brother cut vegetables now looked more and more like Zhao Xun.
"Well, let's start frying."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan was as excited as a child at this time.
Zhao Xun didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, let's start frying the base ingredients first."
Zhao Xun knows that whether it is stir-frying vegetables, fried rice, or stir-fried noodles, stir-frying the base is a crucial step.
If the base ingredients are not fried well, then no matter how carefully you fry the next thing, you will not be able to achieve the expected results.
The base is the soul of a dish.
Of course, the core of the base is the sauce.
And many sauces are prepared accidentally.
The spicy sauce Zhao Xun is going to fry today was made by him in an accidental attempt, and the taste is amazing.
Zhao Xun knows very well that the taste of spicy sauce lies in its spiciness.
As a person who likes spicy food, Zhao Xun can understand the essence of spicy food.
That burning feeling, that feeling of soaring into the sky, will definitely make people feel satisfied.
"Wow, just watching my junior brother fry the sauce here makes me feel extremely delicious."
When Zhao Xun poured all the base ingredients into the pot and started to stir-fry, the aroma naturally spread out.
When Long Qingquan smelled the fragrance, he felt extremely happy for a moment.
"Who says it's not... What I like most is stir-frying the base ingredients. The process of stir-frying can make people experience a different kind of pleasure, as if it is like a moment of breakthrough in spiritual practice."
Zhao Xun held the spoon with one hand, looking very cool.
Long Qingquan watched with interest.
"Junior brother, I really didn't expect you to be so versatile. Originally, I thought you would be a little behind in frying the base."
"Haha, I am the all-powerful little chef. Third senior brother, please be careful this time."
Zhao Xun wanted to show off in front of his third senior brother Long Qingquan, so he worked very hard.
From beginning to end, Zhao Xun showed the state that a strong man should have.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan was fascinated by what he saw.
This was not the first time he watched Zhao Xun cook.
But every time he sees it, he can experience something different, and every time he sees it, he can enjoy a lot.
"Junior brother, how did you develop this unique skill of flipping a spoon?"
"Well... it's easy to say. The main power of the wrist is the strength of the wrist. You can try it like this. Try to use the wrist to exert force, don't use the arm. Because if you use the arm to exert force, you will probably use too much force. .”
Zhao Xun explained patiently while shaking the spoon.
For Long Qingquan, this can be said to be a rare learning opportunity.
Being able to observe Zhao Xundianshao cooking at such a close distance has been something he has always dreamed of.
Of course, for Long Qingquan, he needs to keenly observe every detail to ensure that there is no deviation at all.
Because if there is a segment that he doesn't pay enough attention to, he will probably not be able to pick up the next one.
"Well..."
"Junior brother, if you go slower, I won't be able to keep up..."
Zhao Xun felt angry and funny when he heard this.
It is obvious that the third senior brother Long Qingquan is a top practitioner, but he is slow when it comes to cooking.
He would be slow to respond to anything.
Zhao Xun didn't know what to say for a while.
"Um..."
Zhao Xun had no choice but to deliberately slow down his movements, which would help his third senior brother Long Qingquan practice.
"Yes, just keep this speed. Great job, little junior brother!"
After spending time with Zhao Xun for a long time, Long Qingquan has become proficient in using all of Zhao Xun's spoken words.
This is an amazing achievement, at least in Zhao Xun's view, it is a symbol of the third senior brother's maturity.
Only if a person can constantly accept new things can he grow.
If you blindly live in your own world, it will be difficult to make a big breakthrough.
"It's almost done when it's fried like this. Next, we need to add the dishes we prepared before."
"Uh... Junior brother, do you mean to add all the dishes?"
"Otherwise? The name of this dish is Stir-fried. If you don't add all of them, why don't you just add one thing? We add the vegetables first because the vegetables need to be fried for a longer time. So we have to stir-fry hard.
After frying, you can add the staple food. Noodles, rice, rice noodles, whatever you want."
"Well..."
Long Qingquan was somewhat skeptical about this.
After all, anything fried looks too unattractive, giving the impression that it was pieced together temporarily.
But looking at the serious look on his junior brother's face, Long Qingquan felt that he couldn't bear to question him.
Forget it, just wait for the results of this random frying. If the results are good, Long Qingquan will start blowing.
"When stir-frying, it must be even and the force must be appropriate. Never use uneven force."
Zhao Xun was frying while patiently explaining to his third senior brother, and he was in a state of high concentration.
"Well, how about I give it a try?"
People who are easy to seduce are curious when watching from the sidelines.
This is the case for Long Qingquan at this moment.
After watching it for a long time, I finally wanted to try it myself.
The quality of the trial is one thing, the most important thing is the experience process.
Experience can give people a deeper understanding of the making process of a dish.
It would be a bit uninteresting just to watch it from the sidelines.
"Okay, Third Senior Brother, please remember not to use too much force."
Zhao Xun is not worried about the separation of the three senior brothers, he is only worried about this.
Because Third Senior Brother is a second-grade practitioner, he often exerts too much force.
In practice, this is fine.
However, it is absolutely forbidden to use excessive force when cooking.
This can cause a dish to lose its original flavor, become boring, and make people lose interest.
Generally speaking, the core of cooking is to know the trade-offs.
Use force when you need to use force, and use force when you need to use force.
Push hard, pull back.
Only those who are able to use both skillfully can truly become top chefs.
Zhao Xun couldn't even swallow it, let alone Long Qingquan.
Long Qingquan still has a long way to go, and Zhao Xun will train him patiently.
Not for anything else, just to have more people helping me at critical moments.
It's really tiring to cook alone, it's simply not a job for humans.
...
...
After a lot of hard work, with the cooperation of Zhao Xun and his third senior brother Long Qingquan, a stir-fry was finally completed.
"Wow, just smelling it is very tempting. Junior brother, I can't wait to have a taste."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan was in an absolute state of excitement after he was casually stir-fried.
Zhao Xun, who was watching on the sidelines, was a little dumbfounded.
"Oh, Third Senior Brother, please pay attention to your image, your tears are about to flow."
"Really? Junior brother, please don't lie to me."
Long Qingquan quickly touched his chin to confirm whether the saliva was flowing down.
"Well, let's take a small bite each of us to try and see if the salty taste is suitable."
"good!"
Taste is something that varies from person to person. Some people like to eat salty food, and some people like to eat it lightly.
We cannot say that people who like salty food are excellent, nor can we say that people who like light food are bad.
Different people have their own preferences, which is completely normal.
Of course, Zhao Xun prefers Xiankou.
In his opinion, salty dishes can enhance the taste of a dish to the extreme.
That ultimate feeling will make people feel relaxed and happy.
Long Qingquan also likes to eat salty food.
Therefore, the dish the two collaborated on this time is just right and can satisfy everyone.
It's not easy, because it's hard to agree with everyone, and being able to make a dish that satisfies everyone really depends on luck.
"Wow, this tastes really amazing."
Long Qingquan was convinced after just one taste.
"I never thought I could make such a delicious dish. Junior brother, although this dish looks ugly, it is generally very chewy. Especially the taste, it has endless aftertaste."
Long Qingquan was completely conquered after just one bite. This was really not an easy thing.
"Hmm...who says it's not..."
Zhao Xun was very satisfied with his craftsmanship after trying it.
My goodness, sometimes you don’t know the essence of a dish until you try it.
"Well, this dish seems to be a success. Next, we have to study carefully how to fix this dish. First, the selection of ingredients should be more precise, and then the order of frying the ingredients should be determined.
Only by fixing these things can we ensure that the taste of the dish will not change every time. Although this dish is called stir-fried, I hope that the taste will not be casual at all."
Zhao Xun's words were of great wisdom, at least Long Qingquan felt so.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"Okay, then I will focus on the stir-fried dish and fix the production process. By the way, junior brother. In that case, let's just have this stir-fried dish for lunch today."
"Well..."
For a moment, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan seemed to have nothing wrong with what he said.
"Okay, but Third Senior Brother, please do what you can. The academy has a large population, and it is not an easy task to make enough food for everyone. I'm afraid you will be too tired."
"It doesn't matter."
Long Qingquan waved his hands repeatedly and said: "This is not a difficult task. I feel very energetic now. Not only to stir up pots and pans of stir-fry for the academy, but also to add up the amount of all the tribes in Zhongnan Mountain
, I don’t think there is any problem.”
"Okay, come on, Third Senior Brother, here's Ollie!"
...
...
The best thing in life is not having to cook your own meals but eating ready-made meals.
What's even better is that you don't have to wash the dishes after eating a ready-made meal.
Zhao Xun now enjoys this kind of treatment.
I have to say that the third senior brother came at the right time.
Zhao Xun could not experience the pleasure brought by this change earlier.
One minute later, Zhao Xun's whole body would become skinny.
The third senior brother appeared at just the right time, when Zhao Xun needed him most.
Zhao Xun is also very fortunate that he has been very attentive to the training of the third senior brother Long Qingquan, and it can be said that he single-handedly brought the third senior brother out.
Without Zhao Xun's careful training, third senior brother Long Qingquan would not have grown so fast, and naturally he would not have become Zhao Xun's right-hand man today.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that my wonderful time has come. It's bitter at first, then sweet, and finally it's what I've been waiting for. It's not easy."
Next, he will teach the third senior brother Long Qingquan more dishes and more dishes, so that the third senior brother Long Qingquan can grow into the leader of the academy, so that Zhao Xun can completely relax.
This is simply a small blessing in the world.
The years are quiet and good because there are people carrying the burden forward.
Then let Third Senior Brother be the one who carries the burden forward.
