The children haven't come back yet, so the stove should be finished first.
Li Qi was not idle either. He first asked someone to boil a large pot of water.
When Bai Qiannuo saw it, she was very curious. She had never seen any dish that required so much water.
Not to mention her, even Li Qi has never seen her. Of course, he boils water not for cooking, but for disinfection.
As a chef in the 21st century, he naturally knows the importance of hygiene.
Li Qi first asked people to clean all the cooking utensils with boiling water. Since he had originally planned to let these ladies go to Zuixianju to clean up, Li Qi was always there to guide them while they were washing the dishes and chopsticks.
Instill in them the concept and importance of hygiene.
Although the ladies didn't understand much, they didn't dare to be careless in front of Li Qi and did what Li Qi said.
Bai Qiannuo stood aside. Although she didn't go to help, she was very shocked by Li Qi's ideas. Of course, she also learned a lot from them.
Myolie, on the other hand, seemed to think that Li Qi's spending so much time washing dishes was a bit of a fuss, and she stood aside with a look of disdain.
After all the cooking utensils were disinfected, the group of children came back carrying the materials Li Qi had ordered them to buy, and their faces were all filled with excitement.
Li Qi checked them all and found that only a few children did not buy according to the price on the rag, and the rest did very well. This is quite good, which is enough to prove that the intelligence of these children is not very poor, and there is still a lot of improvement.
space.
Li Qi was very pleased with this, praised them profusely, and then asked them to rest for a while and learn a few more words.
After arranging everything, Li Qi picked up the kitchen knife Zheng Huofu had just sharpened and got ready to start work.
Once Li Qi took the kitchen knife, that was definitely when he was most serious. Everyone seemed to be infected by the meticulous expression on his face, standing aside without even daring to breathe.
I have to say that serious men are the most attractive.
Even Bai Qiannuo felt that Li Qi at this moment was completely different from his usual self.
In the blink of an eye, Li Qi had cut all the vegetables and put them in bowls.
Whether it's pork, tofu or vegetables, they are all cut into thin slices and are basically the same size.
Zheng Huofu was also a cook. Just from his knife skills, he knew that his cooking skills could not compare with Li Qi's, and he secretly admired him.
Everyone saw Li Qi come back with so many vegetables. Although there was a little less meat, it was enough to prepare several dishes. However, when they saw Li Qi take out a portion of each ingredient and share it in one pot, they were all shocked.
Already.
Even the well-informed Bai Qiannuo has never seen this done.
In fact, the dishes Li Qi cooks are big pot dishes.
A very cheap dish in the eyes of later generations.
But in Li Qi's mind, this big pot dish is a dish worth studying.
In fact, making big pot dishes does not require too many fancy skills, but the requirements for basic skills are very strict. The first thing to pay attention to is a chef's understanding of food. Although big pot dishes are stir-fried many vegetables together, it is
It cannot be combined randomly and must be carefully studied; the second is knife skills. It is not advisable to cut the ingredients too thickly and too large for large pot dishes. Otherwise, with so many vegetables mixed together for frying, it will be difficult to cook them thoroughly, and the various foods will not be allowed to be cooked.
Effectively borrow flavors from each other; the last thing is the even distribution of seasonings, which is also the most difficult point. There are so many types and quantities of dishes that it is not easy to take care of them. Even Li Qi can hardly do it perfectly.
For example, the big pot dishes made by the master chefs in the school cafeteria are simply an insult to the big pot dishes. The clear soup is watery, tasteless, and some people put more gutter oil in order to make the dishes taste better.
There is still more water. After one meal, the bowl is full of black oily water. Is this delicious?
It can really compete with pig food.
It’s no wonder that many students would rather eat fried rice with eggs than eat that big pot of food.
Although the big pot dish cannot be compared with abalone fin belly, it is a dish that is very popular with the public. After all, not everyone can eat abalone fin belly every day. Moreover, the nutritional value of the big pot dish is also higher than that of abalone fin belly.
Most of the dishes are much higher, at least it's very comprehensive.
Even for one dish, Li Qi fried it three times. After all, there were too many dishes. If they were all poured into the pot at once, there would be no room for frying.
After the first two dishes were fried, he first scooped out a bowl for each of the aunts and children and let them eat first. Li Qicai couldn't care less about the idea that men are superior to women.
Since Bai Qiannuo had ordered steamed buns earlier, they had been delivered just now while Li Qi was cooking. Those children were squatting in the corner, eating three or four big steamed buns per person, and eating them together with the big pot of vegetables. It was a beautiful thing.
Everyone ate with relish.
The big men on the side who hadn't eaten yet were drooling all over the floor.
But Li Qi didn't keep them waiting for long. After a while, the last big dish came out of the oven.
Li Qi didn't ask them to bring bowls to serve. He just invited everyone to sit around the pot and just put it into the pot with chopsticks.
A big pot dish, without this pot, can it still be called a big pot dish?
Since it was already past the time to eat, these old men were so hungry that their eyes were dizzy. As soon as they heard that it was ready to eat, they rushed to put vegetables into the pot, regardless of whether it was garlic or meat, and stuffed them into their mouths.
That's right.
Naturally, there was a lot of praise for this big pot dish.
Bai Qiannuo sat next to Li Qi, picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it into her mouth. After tasting it, although she was far less shocked than the "blissful smile" last night, she did not expect that such a small leaf would pass through Li Qi's hands.
, turned out to be so delicious, and asked Li Qi: "Master Li, what is the name of this dish?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Big pot dish. It's a very rustic name."
"Big pot dish?"
Bai Qiannuo nodded slightly and said, "That's quite appropriate. Is this big pot dish also your new idea?"
"Uh... this - this is not a new idea. It's just that I didn't have such an environment before, so I rarely did it before." Li Qi shook his head and said.
Bai Qiannuo couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Sister Wang is really lucky to have your help!"
Although in her mind, Li Qi's character was really not that good, and he talked about money, but his cooking skills were really nothing to say.
Li Qi chuckled and said: "It's a great blessing. Next time you go to chat with my wife, don't praise me too much."
Regarding Li Qi's "modestness", Bai Qiannuo was really dumbfounded and shook her head in silence.
Carpenter Tian smashed the bar a few times and said to Li Qi with unfinished thoughts: "Master Li, your big---big pot dish is really nothing to say. This is definitely the most delicious dish I have ever eaten in my life."
."
"Of course, Mr. Li, whoever it is, is truly lucky to be able to eat the food he cooks."
.....
Seeing that they were getting more and more exaggerated, Li Qi hurriedly stopped him and said, "I'm not that powerful. You'd better eat quickly."
"Yes Yes Yes."
"It would be great if I could have a little drink." Tian Carpenter suddenly shook his head and sighed. It seemed that he was addicted to alcohol.
Bai Qiannuo was slightly startled, and then remembered that Li Qi had not asked anyone to buy wine just now. In the Northern Song Dynasty, almost everyone liked this drink, so wine was naturally indispensable at the dinner table. He hurriedly said: "Xing'er, go outside and take a look.
Can you get some wine?"
"No."
Li Qi stretched out his hand to signal Xing'er to stop going, and then said to Carpenter Tian: "You guys want to go to the store with me later, so this drink is free."
The voice was not loud, but it did not allow anyone to question it.
Bai Qiannuo was stunned for a moment, then winked at Xing'er and told her not to go.
Tian Carpenter also noticed a hint of displeasure in Li Qi's tone, his old face turned red, and he quickly admitted his mistake to Li Qi.
Li Qi smiled and said it didn't matter, but he still felt a little unhappy. Now whether he could fill his stomach was still a question, so he just wanted to drink. You really are my uncle.
Li Qi was not reluctant to part with the drinking money, but everything had to be done in a mode. Whatever you wanted to do, you had to look at the surrounding environment. Besides, he had just told Tian Carpenter and the others that he would go to Zuixian with him in the afternoon.
Ju. If Wu Furong sees him coming with another group of drunkards later, he will not think that these drunkards are his relatives.
After finishing the meal and taking a short rest, Li Qi began to teach the children some service etiquette that was beyond the times.
Obviously, he wanted to build Zuixianju into a modern restaurant.
Regarding this point, Li Qi had already planned to do this. He didn't want to be like Jade Pavilion, where seven or eight bartenders were like headless flies, bumping around and yelling at everything. If this was left to them
In those days, no matter how delicious the food in your restaurant was, no customers would be willing to come.
For a restaurant, first-class service is essential.
Li Qi first taught them some knowledge about appearance and etiquette, such as smiling, speaking tone, and the way to treat guests.
Then he taught them several postures, standing postures, sitting postures, and several gestures.
The master and servant Bai Qiannuo couldn't help but laugh when they first saw Li Qi's strange postures, but after seeing what happened later, they couldn't laugh anymore. Some of them were just shocked. If a modern word is used to describe this kind of
Shocking, that is 'professionalism'.
