Chapter 58: My Name is Chen Yuanyuan
Before meeting Chen Yuanyuan, Zhou Zhou had some fantasies about the kitchen help arranged by Aunt Xia. Although he did not expect the kind of young lady who could make perilla drinks at will, he did not expect that the person coming would be a
A fat man with basically zero looks...
Chen Yuanyuan’s given name was Chen Zhaowen, and Yuanyuan was just his nickname. As expected, there was only the wrong nickname but not the wrong nickname. This child had gained weight all the time in his twenty-one years of life, so everyone forgot his nickname.
People call him 'Chen Yuanyuan'.
This is a hot fat guy.
The average temperature in Zangdu in August has not exceeded 20 degrees. Even though he was only wearing a thin jacket, he kept wiping his sweat. Zhouzhou was more than one meter away from him, but he still felt his fire.
's breath.
"Brother Zhou, it's so great to see you alive!
Look, look...this is the circle of friends I reposted. Your deeds are everywhere in the circle of friends now.
I admire chefs like you so much that as soon as Aunt Zhang notified me, I flew over immediately.
Because being able to study with you, Brother Zhou, is the greatest luck in my life!"
Chen Yuanyuan's voice is somewhat shrill, but the rhythm is sonorous, the flattery is straightforward, and full of sincerity, which makes people feel comfortable listening; of course, if he could step back half a meter, he would not keep blowing his fiery breath around him.
The state's face will make people feel more comfortable.
"Aunt Zhang?"
Zhou Zhou looked at Zhang Xia with questioning eyes.
Everyone on x164 would respectfully call Zhang Xia ‘Aunt Xia’, which is basically an official title, but Chen Yuanyuan calls her ‘Aunt Zhang’, which is enough to explain certain problems.
"Yuanyuan is the child of my old colleague, and he is also a top student who graduated from a chef school. Due to some reasons, he has never been able to find a job. This time, he was given a place to help the chef. I immediately thought of him...
"
Zhang Xia was a little embarrassed. Although Chen Yuanyuan also graduated from a serious chef school, her relationship with her was easily misunderstood. She really valued this kid's skills and he was quite obedient, so she let him come to x164 to help cook.
.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at Zhang Xia with some sadness and anger: "Aunt Zhang, Yuanyuan is just my nickname, my real name is Chen Zhaowen."
Zhang Xia nodded: "I understand Yuanyuan..."
"oh."
Zhou Zhou looked at Zhang Xia and thought to himself: How could a person like Aunt Xia, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, use power for personal gain? But thinking about his own experience, he didn't seem to have the right to question anything.
"Aunt Xia, why has Yuanyuan never been able to find a job?"
After all, Chen Yuanyuan will be his cook from now on, Zhou Zhou must figure this out; Chen Yuanyuan is a very popular fat guy, he even has two dimples when he smiles, and Aunt Xia just said that he is a chef
The school's top student.
He's fat, looks quite popular, and has excellent cooking skills... No matter how you look at him, he must be a great chef. Why did he run to the train to cook for himself?
Helping in the kitchen?
When Zhou Zhou looked at Chen Yuanyuan, who was fat and fair and had no stubble on his face, he would inevitably have some uneasy or even indecent assumptions.
...
A plate of wild vegetables mixed with sesame oil, balsamic vinegar, and chopped peanuts made Zhou Zhou understand everything.
This dish of wild vegetables was stirred very evenly, and the water and heat were well controlled. It looked like it should be delicious, but Zhou Zhou frowned after taking only one bite. The balsamic vinegar and salt were slightly excessive, although it was still manageable.
It is swallowable, but it is definitely not a successful dish.
"You have a good grasp of the seasoning. Why did you have a problem with the seasoning? Haven't you tasted it yourself?"
"I......"
The fat man's face turned red and he began to sweat again.
"He got high marks in the graduation exam for cooking, controlling fire, and red and white cases, but he just couldn't pass the seasoning test."
Zhang Xia also sighed: "Yuanyuan got sick when she was eighteen years old, and then she couldn't distinguish taste. The doctor diagnosed it as 'acquired taste disorder'."
"Brother Zhou, I can cut and stir-fry, and I can also pull noodles, but I can't taste them... But I can feel spicy, cumin, and strong flavors like mustard! In fact, my sense of taste has not been completely lost."
The fat man kept wiping his sweat: "I can help you, Brother Zhou..."
"Spiciness is a sensation of pain and has nothing to do with taste."
Zhou Zhou looked at the fat man intently for a while and suddenly smiled: "But it doesn't matter, isn't it just that I can't distinguish some smells? What a big deal.
Come on, let’s try cooking some vegetables again, and I’ll help you this time!”
The railway hotel in Zangdu is still the railway department's own property. Although it is also open to the public, it mainly provides a place for train conductors to rest and wait for their shifts after their shift. Aunt Xia is very familiar here, so there is no way to use the kitchen.
questionable.
There were quite a few varieties of vegetables in the kitchen, but Zhou Zhou still chose to make spicy and sour potato shreds, and then stood aside to let the fat man get started.
The proportions of onions, ginger, peppers, etc. are all right. Fatty is a top student in the chef school after all, so Zhou Zhou doesn’t have to worry about these tasks at all; peeling potatoes, slicing them horizontally, shredding... the sound of the knife can be heard.
, and soon a plate of shredded potatoes was cut into pieces.
Picking up a piece of potato shreds and looking at it, Zhou Zhou nodded secretly. The fat man's knife skills were very close to the level of a senior chef.
Although the graduation standard of some chef schools with excellent teaching is third-level senior chefs, this is mostly just saying that someone with Fatty's level is indeed worthy of the standard of top students.
This is a good assistant! The dining car serves a large amount of food, and the most tiring and tiring tasks are food preparation, cooking and basic cooking. If you have an assistant with the level of a senior chef, you can reduce a lot of stress and can
Focus more on the exquisite dishes of the dining car.
As long as the dining car's premium dishes are guaranteed to be served, Aunt Xia won't have to worry about the average dish price being too low or getting in trouble from her superiors.
"Yuanyuan, start cooking!"
Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's skillful technique of lifting the pot, adding oil, stirring the pot, and simmering the fire, Zhou Zhou nodded repeatedly, walked to the stove, grabbed a handful of salt, and threw it directly into the fire ball set by Chen Yuanyuan, and then picked up an idle frying spoon.
, ordered some balsamic vinegar and added it to the pot from a distance.
"Brother Zhou, thank you!"
Chen Yuanyuan immediately understood what Zhou Zhou meant by working together. The fat man was so happy that he did a trick. He flipped the frying spoon in his hand and took the shredded potatoes from the pot into the dinner plate.
Zhouzhou used chopsticks to pick up shredded potatoes and put them into his mouth while they were still hot. He chewed them a few times and gave the fat man a thumbs up: "Yuanyuan, the frying was good!"
In fact, for a simple dish like this, even if you lose your sense of taste, you can still add seasonings based on experience, without putting too much psychological pressure."
"Really? Then I'll give it a try in the future, but it seems I'll be more confident if you help me, Brother Zhou..."
Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Zhang Xia again, seemingly hesitant to speak.
"I know what you are thinking, can Aunt Zhang try it too?"
