Chapter 54: Double crispy and braised in oil
What else are you checking? Shen Cheng looked at Zhou Dong with a wry smile: "Master Zhou, there is no need to check. Your sword skills are enough to be my master."
None of the masters on the chopping board said anything, obviously acquiescing to Shen Cheng's statement.
Shen Gongdao laughed happily: "Xiao Zhou, I have only seen one person in my life whose sword skills have reached your level. This..."
After all, he didn’t say anything anymore. What was there to say? Lu Zhiwei, the master of Shandong cuisine, is now sitting in the ‘Shiweitian’ restaurant across the street. He admires and admires him, but he is a competitor after all. Shandong cuisine is almost being squeezed out by others. I can't open the pot.
Facing the praise from everyone, Zhou Dong didn't say anything. He felt distressed. Is it easy to save 3,000 praises? The cost of pretending is too high. And he was slightly worried.
Sure enough, the sequelae of overusing the system still appeared. In order to get a job in Lu Chu to gain greater 'freedom', what he showed this time was perfect knife skills. Is this acceptable in the eyes of others? After all, his current actual level of swordsmanship is equivalent to that of an ordinary technician.
But of course there are benefits. He can directly shock the whole audience with his perfect sword skills. From then on, he has a detached status in Lu Kitchen. Not to mention Shen Cheng, even Shen Gongdao cannot easily instruct him.
Chef Lu of Jiuzhou Dingshi has an old-school style as he works diligently. In fact, it is easier for him to take the initiative by directly demonstrating perfect knife skills than by showing master-level knife skills.
"Master Xiao Zhou, thank you for your hard work, please have tea..."
Shen Cheng is a smart man who has everything he needs. He has already taken out his private collection of Mingqian Longjing and brewed a cup for Zhou Dong and his uncle respectively. He personally delivered the hot tea to Zhou Dong and said with a smile: "Today is an eye-opener for me. Yes, Master Xiao Zhou's sword skills are ten times better than mine! Uncle, from today on, Master Xiao Zhou and...Master Xiao Pan are the top anvils on the chopping board. I will fight for Master Xiao Zhou. ?”
When the fat man heard this, his whole body trembled with excitement. Oh my goodness! Am I on the receiving end? Am I Master Xiao Pan? The dream is too beautiful, don’t wake up!
"Haha, you are quite smart."
Shen Gongdao was happy in his heart. This boy Shen Cheng is not stupid. What is the title of Tou Zhan? How big of an opportunity is it to be able to learn from Zhou Dong?
Zhou Dong raised his eyes to look at Shen Cheng, shook his head and said: "Master Cheng, don't say that. The fat man's true level cannot afford the position of a head anvil... Let's do this, the back chef will give him the salary and benefits of a head anvil." That’s it, Master Cheng still has to take care of the real work.”
When Shen Cheng heard this, his head suddenly shook like a rattle: "No, no, how can it be done? Master Xiao Pan's salary and benefits are calculated according to the head anvil, so there is no problem at all, but the work on the head anvil still has to be done by Xiao Zhou Master, take care of me, I won’t dare to take action while you are here."
Shen Gongdao also said: "Xiao Cheng is right, no matter how humble you are, Master Xiao Zhou, you are just trying to shirk." He also called "Master Xiao Zhou".
Zhou Dong frowned, aren't you teaming up to deceive me? You still don't know what my level is? If I use perfect knife skills every time, I will be 'bankrupt' after just two dishes in less than one working day!
Besides, it makes sense to use separate chopping boards, second chopping block, third chopping block, and last chopping block. When it comes to dishes like Double Crisp, you must start with the first chopping block; when a customer orders coir raincoat cucumber, at least you have to do it. Only the second anvil can be used. For example, the tail anvil only needs to handle tasks such as dicing potatoes, radishes, and chopping that require effort and have little technical content.
Zhou Dong wants to upgrade his knife skills to the professional level. One skill point is equivalent to one upgrade skill point for cutting a pound of vegetables. He goes to the ‘head anvil’ to cut some difficult vegetables. Isn’t this deliberately trying to make things difficult for him?
But these words could not be said clearly. Zhou Dong thought for a while and said: "Teacher Shen, Master Cheng, I'm afraid this won't work. My sword skills still need to be refined before I can make further progress, so I hope to start from the basics."
Do you still need to hone your sword skills?
This time, even the fat man who had always known Zhou Dong was shocked. Boss, Chef Shen just said that your sword skills are already at the level of a master. You still need to practice, and you are going to make it impossible for us to survive?
Shen Gongdao smiled bitterly and said: "Master Xiao Zhou, it is good for young people to be modest, but this is excessive modesty... If Lao Shen and I were not blind, your sword skills would have reached the peak of the master level... ..."
"Is it true that at the grandmaster level, one has reached the ultimate level of swordsmanship?"
Zhou Dong shook his head, seeming to be a little impatient: "Teacher Shen, I thought there was no end to the culinary arts. If we are complacent about the status quo, and become complacent after we have achieved a little bit of success, and think of ourselves as masters and grandmasters, then it will be You can never make progress!
This is the reason why I refuse to be a head anvil, because I think I still have many shortcomings and my basic skills are not solid enough! That’s it, please don’t persuade me anymore.”
Shen Gongdao opened his mouth, but after all he didn't say anything. Only then did he remember that Zhou Dong was ill. It was said that he was suffering from depression and mania...
This kind of person cannot be forced.
The chopping block area was completely silent, you could hear the drop of a needle, and everyone was moved.
Look at Master Xiao Zhou, he has reached such a state, he still has to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and strives for self-improvement in order to make progress!
Look at yourself again? You really have lived like a dog for so many years.
"It's better to look for opportunities in the future..."
At a glance, Shen Gongdao saw his nephew Shen Cheng lowering his head with an expression of shame on his face. He was relieved: "'Zhou Catfish' is indeed well-deserved. Even a guy like Xiao Cheng, who has a higher eye than his head, was moved." Already?
With him here, all these guys will work hard, which is a good thing."
"Well, since Master Xiao Zhou insists, I can only aggrieve you. But even if you are on the fourth anvil, your salary and benefits are based on those on the first anvil, so Master Xiao Zhou must agree."
Zhou Dong nodded, he had no grudge against Qian. None of the masters on the chopping board were unconvinced. It is said that interns are not paid, but is Master Zhou an ordinary intern? As for that little fat man, he has a 'Good big brother', this is something I can't envy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Uncle, I have a request. If you encounter a top-notch diner ordering food and need top-notch knife skills, I hope that Master Xiao Zhou can help."
Shen Cheng, an ordinary gourmet, is really not afraid, but if he really meets a top food critic at the review level, Shen Cheng is still a bit weak. What's the point of leaving a master of knife skills without using it?
Shen Gongdao looked at Zhou Dong: "Master Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Dong frowned slightly: "It depends on the situation. If the chef really encounters an obstacle that he can't overcome, of course I can't ignore it, but under normal circumstances it's better not to let me take action.
I still want to practice quietly by myself and don’t want to be disturbed by too many things.”
"Okay, then follow Master Xiaozhou."
Shen Gongdao was also helpless. Zhou Dong's arrival was a good thing for Chef Lu. He couldn't push him too hastily. Otherwise, if he got sick, what would he do if he wanted to go back to Chef Su?
It's better to coax first.
The chefs on the chopping board are really convinced this time. Look at Master Zhou. Not only is he talented, he is also handsome. Not to mention handsome, he is quite cool!
Who in Lu Kitchen dares to refuse the chef's request to his face? But not only did he refuse, the chef couldn't even say no.
I am convinced...
