Chapter 549 Pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger
Lele looked around and found that Lao Wang was indeed not in the kitchen, and there was no one else there.

I couldn't help but feel shaken again. Could it be that Boss Ma is really a very skilled chef who seems to have never done any cooking?

While she was thinking this, Malu had already come to the pool with the bag of potatoes and started washing them.

While washing, he stretched his neck and looked around.

"What are you looking for?"

"Peeler." Malu said, "Don't you have to peel the potatoes after washing them?"

Although he had never cooked before, he still understood this level of common sense, so he looked for a paring knife in advance, but unfortunately he couldn't find one.

"Uh, Uncle Wang probably doesn't use a paring knife," Ma Youyou reminded, "so the kitchen probably doesn't have a paring knife either."

"Oh, really?" Malu thought about it and realized that he had never seen Lao Wang use a peeler. "Then how did he peel the skin?"

"Just... just use a kitchen knife." He Xiaoqian said, "I see that all chefs on TV seem to do this."

"........."

Listening to this conversation, Lele felt very upset and ashamed of her previous hesitation.

This person has hardly ever been in the kitchen. He's probably the type who can't even make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

She took a deep breath and said to Sun He beside her, "Mr. Sun, there's no need to watch any more."

Sun He also thought that Malu was being too absurd, but he was more patient than Lele. "Since you're here, eat the shredded potatoes before you leave."

"I'm now worried whether this guy can really fry the potatoes and not send us all to the hospital."

Malu ignored Lele's sarcasm, picked up a washed potato and walked to the knife rack.

There are more than a dozen knives on the knife rack.

There are Chinese, Western and Japanese styles, for chopping bones, slicing, and all kinds of ceramic knives. Malu picked up two at random, weighed them, and felt that neither was as convenient as his own chef's knife.

So he covered himself with his clothes and called for the chef's knife.

When Malu took out the knife, Lele was stunned, "Your knife is on you?"

"I'm a chef, so it's not normal to carry around food with me."

"No, you don't take the subway or plane?" Lele really wanted to complain, but held back.

Then she saw the millipede start to peel the skin.

The first cut, a cut.

With the second cut, the poor potato was almost cut in half.

With the third cut, he finally returned to normal and cut off a small piece of skin. With the fourth cut, the millipede's movements began to speed up and became more and more skilled. In the end, he finished peeling a potato in less than ten seconds.

This result cannot be said to be good, but it is not particularly bad either.

After peeling the potatoes, Malu placed them on the chopping board and began slicing them.

Just looking at his posture made Lele frown. Malu was standing too close to the chopping board, which would affect the strength of his hands.

The correct standing posture should be to keep the abdomen about one fist away from the chopping board, and the two should be in a straight line.

In addition, his way of holding the knife was not correct. All five fingers were gripping the handle. Although this made his grip firm, it was difficult to control the direction accurately.

This way of holding is more suitable for chopping people rather than cutting vegetables. The proper way to hold a Chinese kitchen knife is to separate two fingers and hold the two sides of the knife.

Not to mention that Malu's arms were very tense, almost stretched into a straight line. And his left hand holding the potato was even more unbearable, with his fingers resting on the potato.

This posture makes it very easy to get cut. The standard answer should be to hide your fingers and use your knuckles to support the blade.

As expected...are you a layman?
Lele felt that she had seen the true face of the millipede, but the next moment she heard Sun He beside her let out a light exclamation.

Although the millipede's posture was clumsy, he was not slow at all in cutting the potatoes.

The chef's knife flew and jumped with his arm, as precise as a precision instrument.

And unlike other chefs, Malu just holds the potatoes with his left hand and relies on his right hand to do all the work.

However, the knife always managed to accurately bypass his fingers, and after cutting all the potatoes around it, the blade turned and began to cut the potatoes under his palm horizontally.

This is also possible? Lele's eyes widened.

Soon, Millipede cut all the potatoes into slices of uniform thickness.

Then he simply withdrew his left hand and started cutting potato chips on the chopping board with one hand.

While cutting, he asked He Xiaoqian, "What should we do next? Should we fry it in the pan?"

"No, no, I remember that I need to wash the shredded potatoes first to remove the starch, so that they will taste better."

He Xiaoqian used to help her mother a lot when she was in her hometown. Now she rents a house of her own, but she still knows how to cook.

However, there were two professionals on the scene, and she felt a little guilty, afraid that she might have said something wrong, so she kept her eyes on Lele and Sun He.

She heaved a sigh of relief when they didn't object.

"I see." Malu turned around while cutting vegetables and took a vegetable basin from the shelf.

Lele watched with gritted teeth, is this guy showing off on purpose?
Damn it! The most important thing is that he really pretended!

Many great chefs can cut vegetables without looking at the ingredients, but talking while doing something else with the other hand is... a bit too much.

No, it’s not just a little bit amazing, it’s really amazing!
Because if you just try to draw a square with one hand and a circle with the other hand you will realize how difficult it is to do two things at once.

Moreover, the potato shreds cut by Malu are neither wide nor narrow, and are all uniform in size, ranging from 1.2-1.4mm, which is just the right thickness for making spicy and sour potato shreds.

After all the potato shreds were cut, Malu used a chef's knife to scoop them all into the vegetable basin.

Then he put down the chef's knife, turned on the faucet, and soaked the shredded potatoes first.

Then he started to peel the garlic, but he became clumsy again and couldn't peel the garlic skin off after several attempts.

But Lele didn't fall for it again. She had already realized that some people were doing it on purpose, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, or perhaps it was to fight back against her previous doubts.

All I can say is that age makes the wiser. Perhaps it was because Mr. Sun realized something that he did not turn around and leave, but insisted on eating the shredded potatoes.

In comparison, she was too young and was actually fooled by that guy's poor acting skills. She thought that he was just a layman who knew nothing.

As a result, Malu pretended to be a rookie and played her around time and time again. He admired her ugly appearance and embarrassment in secret, and he must have been very happy in his heart.

When he thought of this, Lele couldn't help but feel angry.

What a terrible guy.

However, Malu was not very happy at this moment. He just felt that the garlic skin was so damn hard to peel. He wondered if the restaurant should hire a garlic peeler to help Lao Wang share the pressure.

In the end, He Xiaoqian was the most kind and reminded, "Boss, you can use a knife to smash the garlic before peeling it, it will be much easier to peel."
