Listening to Xiao Nianzhi's explanation of tomorrow, Xiao Siye was about to respond. Aunt Yu, who was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, suddenly said: "Why don't you go over and take a look now? There happen to be two ducks that need to be dealt with.
It’s hot today and it will easily break if left for a long time.”
When Aunt Yu said that, Xiao Nianzhi remembered that King Wei also gave them ducks.
According to Aunt Yu, the King of Wei sent people to raise them freely here in Zhuangzi. As soon as he heard it, he knew that the meat was of very good quality.
After Aunt Yu finished speaking, she went to see Xiao Nianzhi, smiled and then said: "I'm fine, just let this energy pass. Let's get over the test as soon as possible, and let's go in and out of the kitchen freely as soon as possible."
Naturally, Xiao Nianzhi has no objections, as he should be if he is well-behaved.
The three people quickly packed up their things and took two cleaned ducks to the canteen.
On the way, Xiao Siye also told Xiao Nianzhi about the issue of remuneration in the future working hours: "After passing the test, you will only be responsible for midnight snacks for half an hour every day. If there is no one around, you can go back early to rest."
Okay, establish a good relationship with the aunts, and they won’t make it difficult for you. In addition, they will give you an extra two hundred cash every month.”
Xiao Nianzhi is now watering the ground in the backyard, earning one tael of silver a month.
Under normal circumstances, her position does not offer such good remuneration, most of which are between 600 and 700 yuan, but isn't Xiao Nianzhi a related household?
With the addition of two hundred Wen, the monthly income can be considered considerable.
Her daily meals are paid for by the academy, so there are no expenses at all, and her salary is purely earned.
Not only that, Xiao Siye and Aunt Yu will also provide daily welfare subsidies.
This job...
When a related household comes, everyone will be so envious that they shed tears!
The three of them quickly went to the front yard, and the chefs returned to the dormitory to rest after lunch.
Xiao Siye found someone to call them all back. Regarding Xiao Nianzhi entering the canteen and becoming a midnight snack staff, if the chefs have any ideas, they can set up some level tests.
If not, it is officially passed.
In fact, everyone understands that even if it is a checkpoint test, it is just a show.
Everyone has to give some respect to Aunt Yu and Xiao Siye.
There are four chefs in the cafeteria, two are fat and two are thin. The fat chef is slightly shorter, and the thin chef is relatively tall and strong. The fat one smiles kindly, while the thin one has a cold face.
They were about the same age as Xiao Siye. Xiao Nianzhi thought about it and called uncle a few times obediently.
When the two fat masters heard this uncle, they laughed so hard that they couldn't see their eyes. They both waved their hands and said: "Oh, you can't do it, you can't do it. If you have anything to do, please tell me."
There are two thinner masters with long faces and not very good-looking expressions.
The two people looked at each other, and then one of the master chefs named Shui spoke: "Since you are coming to the canteen, you must have some food that you are good at, right?"
Chef Shui's tone of voice was a little fierce and his momentum was quite strong.
Xiao Nianzhi acted neither humble nor overbearing, and nodded obediently: "Then Yuan Niang will be embarrassed."
I didn’t say too many polite words, just come up and show off.
It’s just roast duck...
It takes a really, really long time!
If you want to roast a duck with thin, crispy skin and tender and flavorful meat inside, you need to control the marinating time and the time for the skin to dry.
After Xiao Nianzhi briefly talked about the dishes he wanted to make, the chefs looked at each other.
Others either had cold faces or smiled and said nothing. Finally, Chef Shui spoke, and Chef Shui had already begun to curse in his heart.
Damn it, the bad guys were all done by him, and the three of them are there to be good guys, bah!
But there is no other way. He usually has a high prestige and status among a few people.
At this time, who will let him go?
After thinking about it, Chef Shui sighed: "Then prepare slowly and tell the old sisters-in-law if you need any cooperation."
The preparation of the roast duck took too long, but none of the chefs had the intention to go back to sleep. They were all here watching Xiao Nianzhi's operations.
It's not that they don't believe in Xiao Nianzhi's ability, it's just a formal test anyway, it's even more fucking outrageous than an open-book exam, so proctoring is completely unnecessary.
They are just curious.
After all, they had heard of Xiao Nianzhi’s milk taro balls and spicy and sour potato noodles before.
Yesterday at noon, Chef Shui also tried to copy the spicy and sour potato noodles. Of course, it was not mass-produced. It was their own internal attempt by the chef.
Because Aunt Cui and the others had eaten it before, Chef Shui also invited her to come and taste it together.
The result is of course...
It’s hard to say enough.
Chef Shui's daily skills are average. Now they just listen to the description and copy it. What delicious food can they copy?
After failing, Chef Shui summed up himself.
It was also because of this that they became more and more curious about Xiao Nianzhi.
Although everyone’s cooking skills are average, they are still naughty.
King Wei had already packed up the duck, but Xiao Nianzhi still cleaned it a second time, then added onions, ginger, garlic, etc. for the first round of marinating to remove the fishy smell.
This time was not long, after about one stick of incense, Xiao Nianzhi went to boil water again and scalded the skin of the duck.
The pores of the blanched duck skin are tightened, and the skin will be even crispier after roasting.
Of course, this alone is not enough.
After scalding, the duck needs to be placed outside to dry for an hour to an hour and a half.
While the duck was drying, Xiao Nianzhi went to prepare the sauce needed for roasting the duck.
The soul of this step is...
Honey.
The sugar in the honey will change the color of the duck's skin, turning it into an attractive caramel color. It will also make the roast duck taste better and the skin will be crispier.
Watching Xiao Nianzhi take the trouble to season, brush and dry the duck over and over again...
Chef Shui couldn't help but whispered to Chef Jiang beside him: "Just follow these steps and you don't need to take the exam."
In this regard, Chef Jiang remained cold-faced, but what he said almost made Xiao Siye, who was not far away, laugh out loud: "Don't want to see it? Then go away. It will be baked in a while, so don't come.
If there is one less person to share, I can still have one more bite."
Chef Shui:.
Damn it, I know you people are very cunning!
Let’s not talk about the final result. Just tossing in so many seasonings, the roasted taste is indistinguishable.
Chef Jiang had swallowed his saliva calmly, and began to look forward to it secretly.
When the rays of the setting sun slowly dyed the sky red and covered the earth, Xiao Nianzhi dried the duck for more than an hour, finally brushed it with sauce, stuffed the belly with apples, and started roasting it. The canteen has a special baking room with a stove and a baking cellar. It can be said that it is more convenient, faster and easier to use than the one at Zhuangzi. It saves Xiao Nianzhi from having to figure out how to bake this thing.
When the students came to the cafeteria at meal time, the smell of roast duck was coming from the roasting room at the back.
The rich meaty aroma is mixed with a hint of sweet soft aroma, wrapped in the boundless spring breeze and the sky's glow, rushing into the students' nostrils domineeringly.
