Chapter 24 Learning cooking skills(1/2)

"Okay, Uncle He..."

Jia Yi started practicing again with a few cabbage heads, also known as pickled mustard.

Slow down the chopping speed and feel the chopping process carefully.

First cut the vegetable head in half, then press it gently with your left hand, protrude the knuckle of your middle finger with your left hand, hold the kitchen knife vertically against the knuckle of your middle finger, and cut slowly.

After cutting for a while, Jia Yi felt that slicing was quite easy.

But there is trouble when it comes to shredding.

"Brother Ma, I can't hold back these movies..."

"One, it's because you didn't cut the knife straight enough when slicing it just now, and two, it's because your slice wasn't flat, and your left hand didn't have good strength... I'm doing it slowly, so you have to watch it carefully."

"Thank you, Brother Ma."

Jia Yi quickly watched Ma Hua's demonstration attentively.

Then Jia Yi practiced by himself.

Soon it was breakfast time, and Jia Yi was concentrating on practicing.

I finally found some feeling, and my left hand was not as stiff as it was at the beginning.

"Xiao Yi, it's time to have breakfast..."

Qin Huairu walked into the kitchen.

"Mom, you're here."

"Are you still used to it?"

"Fortunately, I started practicing cutting vegetables, which is quite interesting."

"Okay, just get used to it. Then mom will leave first..."

Qin Huairu came in to see Jia Yi. She was originally worried that her son would not be able to persist, but luckily...

Qin Huairu didn't stay long and left quickly. She just rolled her eyes at Uncle He when he slipped out.

What two strange people.

How could this happen? Could it be that Jia Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the plot in the original drama, where Qin Huairu boldly stated that she liked He Yuzhu...

Could it be that this has happened in advance? My cheap mother is so bold. Mrs. Jia Zhang must have known about it. No wonder the atmosphere at home is so weird.

Well, they probably haven't made any substantial progress, otherwise Jia Zhang wouldn't have made trouble in the past two days.

During the Chinese New Year, Qin Huairu opened up her heart, but as for He Yuzhu, he couldn't sleep all night.

Thinking of this, Jia Yi cast a teasing glance at He Yuzhu who sneaked in again. He really had a thief heart but no courage.

There are thousands of workers in the steel rolling mill, and they cook a lot of dishes every day. For Jia Yi, this is a good place to practice knife skills, so that he can keep cutting.

What Jia Yiqie suffered that day was cramps in his hands. He kept standing there and his feet were unbearably sore.

When he got home at night, Jia Yi had no energy and ate hastily before going to bed.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was heartbroken when she saw her precious grandson listless and exhausted.

"Qin Huairu, don't let Xiao Yi learn tomorrow. It's too tiring, and Xiao Yi doesn't have to learn..."

"Mom, this is what Xiao Yi requested. We should respect Xiao Yi's wishes..."

Qin Huairu looked at her son, although she felt a little distressed, but she knew better that only through hardship can one become a great person. How could a family like hers not endure hardship?

"...I'll ask Xiao Yi tomorrow if my grandson doesn't want to learn anymore, he won't go."

When Jia Yi woke up early the next morning, his whole body ached and his hands and feet were weak.

The spiritual body entered Taoyuan and looked at the spring water. Jia Yi suddenly wondered if he had been struck by lightning and was struck dumb.

"I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid..."

I looked around, but I didn't wake up yet, so I quickly went to Taoyuan and lay down at the spring eye to pour water.

After drinking enough, he came out again.

Sure enough, Jia Yi felt a warm current flowing from his stomach to his whole body.

"Ah... so comfortable."

I, Jia Yi, am resurrected with full health again.

The sound of Jia Yi getting up woke up Jia Zhang.

"Good grandson, we won't study anymore. Look at how tired you were yesterday..."

"Grandma, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine. It's just because I didn't get used to it at first. I won't be so tired next time."

The quilt on Qin Huairu's body moved.

"Hey, Xiaoyi, you're up, I thought you..." He Yuzhu looked incredulous.

I originally thought that Jia Yi would be too tired to get up, or even give up.

Unexpectedly, I woke up earlier than myself the next day, and my movements were no different.

"It's strange that young people are in such good health. I've never been like this before..."

"Uncle He, morning."

Jia Yi ignored He Yuzhu's whisper.

The two came to the steel rolling mill together.

"Xiao Yi, you're here. Do you feel sore all over this morning? Hehe, can't you get up...

It was the same when I first started. If only my dad hadn't dragged me so hard that I couldn't get up, I would have gotten used to it later."

Ma Hua looked at Jia Yi and comforted him with a smile.

"Ma Hua, Xiao Yi is not like you. He got up earlier than me this morning."

"Ah, really..."

Ma Hua looked in disbelief.

Finally, everyone in the kitchen stared at Jia Yi with strange eyes, as if they were looking at aliens.

But this is no wonder for them. The first day of learning to be a chef is indeed extremely tiring, mainly because the body is not used to it. Not only do you have to cut your hands constantly, but you also have to stand still.

Some people say that this is not tiring, then think carefully about how long you can maintain the military posture at the military training station.

Although this station does not have to be very standard, it is a long time and the apprentice does not have much time to rest.

Generally, apprentices take four or five days to adapt slowly. It is impossible to take a break, because the effect will be greatly reduced if you take a break, and you will have to spend more time adapting. This is not worth the gain.

Fortunately, Jia Yi has Taoyuan spring water, otherwise I would have suffered a lot today.

After a while, He Yuzhu arranged the work, and Jia Yi continued to cut pickles.

"Xiao Yi, as a chef, you have to have a good eye. You have to remember that you have to cut the pickled cowpeas into the same length and shred them the same way. They have to be the same length and thickness, otherwise the heat will be uneven when frying and some of them will be burnt.

Others are not yet familiar…”

Ma Hua looked at it and pointed at it, giving the standard of length and thickness.

This inevitably slowed down Jia Yi's chopping speed.

He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction watching this scene.

……………

Time flies by so fast, February 26, 1966 arrives in the blink of an eye, and school starts in three days. This will be the last semester of Jia Yi Elementary School, and his career as a cook has come to an end.

For the past month, Jia Yi's daily job has been cutting vegetables and garnishing them.

Later, Jia Yi took over almost all the vegetable cutting work in the kitchen.

It has to be said that such high-intensity training has also made Jia Yi's knife skills improve by leaps and bounds, and his single knife skills are no worse than MCA.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It cannot be denied that this is the result of Jia Yi's hard work.

But Taoyuan spring water really helped a lot this time. Without the restorative effect of the spring water, Jia Yi really wouldn't have been able to endure such a high-intensity exercise.

Today, Jia Yi finally slept in.

The whole family knew that Jia Yi was very tired during this period. Even Xiaodang Huaihua didn't bother him, and Jia Zhang had already gone out.

During this period, although Jia Yi recovered quickly, he had no intention of managing Taoyuan.

Every time I go to Taoyuan, I am in a hurry, either drinking spring water, harvesting, planting, and occasionally getting some pork and big fish to improve my food during holidays.

Don't bother to look at anything else.

Of course, I also went to the pigeon market several times.

Jia Yi was a meat-lover, and he couldn't live without meat, so he took the time to go there a few times, just to buy meat. He left without buying anything and didn't stay long.

I also encountered a red armband patrol, which was very confusing in Pigeon City.

Fortunately, Jia Yi didn't see the meat stall, so he turned around and went back, plus he was empty-handed.
To be continued...
