Red apricots make spring

Chapter 75
"You?" Master Lu was a little surprised. He originally thought that Ruan Ruan would count out a few famous chefs with good knife skills. It's so late, where can I invite them?Even if he was invited, he would not be shy, so he was confident, but he didn't expect Wen Wen to roll up his sleeves and go on stage. I wondered, with such a handsome young master, could he really know how to cut fish?

Wen Rou stood next to Master Lu and saw that there were carp and grass carp swimming in the water basin. She pondered for a while, then picked up a grass carp quickly with her hands and feet, wrapped a snow-white towel around the head of the fish, and immediately swam with a knife. Remove the scales and viscera, wash and remove the head and tail, cut the fish into two pieces, then peel the skin and remove the bones, and finally dry the blood on the fish, and slice it into transparent thin slices.

There was only a very rhythmic sound of the knife, and the frivolous fish sticks kept flying out of the tender hands.Master Lu was a little dazed watching from the sidelines. From the moment she started working, she could tell that she was not a layman, but he didn't expect her knife skills to be so superb!He picked up a slice with chopsticks in slightly trembling hands, held it up high and looked at it in the afterglow of the setting sun. He had to admit that the sliced ​​fish was really thin, as if it could be cut with a light breath. Can fly like a piece of paper.

"Crystal croquettes! Really crystal croquettes!" Master Lu sighed softly. He had heard of a master who made fish croquettes in the past. It was said to be a crystal fish, but he had never seen it before. He thought it was just an exaggeration in the legend. Today he saw this little boy slaughtering a live fish so easily in front of him. He couldn't help being dissatisfied. Wanting to admit defeat, Ruan Rou had already cut up the fish, took some fish sticks, sprinkled with a little sesame oil, and took a small dish, added some high-quality soy sauce, mustard and ginger juice in order, Pushing it in front of him, he said, "Master Lu, please try my method."

Master Lu picked up a piece of fish stick, dipped it in some seasoning, and put it in his mouth. He felt that the fish stick was so thin that it melted on the tip of his tongue with a fresh and sweet taste. Although it is simple, it also sets off the taste of the fish meat just right, and does not steal the unique aroma of the fish meat. What is even more rare is that there is no fishy smell, which is better than the golden rice and plum sauce that he has painstakingly prepared. much.

He picked up a few more slices of fish and ate them. He pushed the plate in front of the onlookers, put down his chopsticks and sighed, "I'm really convinced that I lost! But in my lifetime, I can't see this miraculous crystal. It's a waste of life!"

"Master Lu is amazing." Rourou shook her head and said with a smile: "Actually, Master Lu's technique of cutting fish sticks is already very clever, but when holding the knife, it will be more smooth if you turn it slightly like this." She said, holding the knife again. After making two gestures with the knife, he went to clean his hands in the clear water.

"It's a lot of benefits, it's a lot of benefits!" Master Lu nodded repeatedly while watching the gentle gestures carefully.

Among the onlookers standing in front, some were lucky enough to grab a chopsticks of fish meat, and they were full of praise after eating it. Those who didn't get it, of course, could only swallow their saliva behind. Wen Gang and Xiaohuan were excited It was impossible, and he shouted loudly, "Sheng Luo! Sheng Luo!" Even Ye Yu's usually gloomy face showed a faint smile.

In contrast, the clerk at the fish croquette stall looked a bit disheartened. He stood aside with his head down, mumbling something in his mouth, and finally couldn't help being curious, so he grabbed a chopstick of croquettes and tasted it. He widened his eyes and fell silent.

Rou Rou winked at Wen Gang and Xiao Huan, stopped their yelling, bowed to Master Lu again and planned to leave, but Master Lu cleaned his hands and respectfully offered two hundred coins, very It is impossible to accept this lottery gently, and hesitantly asked: "I don't know what to call my brother, who is my teacher?"

"My surname is Wen and my name is Gang. I haven't paid homage to this master. I learned from my grandfather." Rou Rou replied, not only did she find it funny, but Wen Gang, who was named, suddenly opened her eyes wide. Knowing how my sister reported his name, and then thinking about it, my sister is wearing men's clothes now, not to mention that the boudoir woman's name can't be casually told to others, so I feel relieved.

Master Lu had a thought, and wanted to ask her grandpa's name, but Wen Rou pushed it away, and insisted on refusing to accept the money, saying that she was very sorry for causing trouble with Master Lu, and it was just a matter of learning from each other. Never take it again.However, Master Lu has a rough temper, so he insisted on letting her accept the money, saying that so many people were watching, and he was willing to gamble and admit defeat, and he would never deny it!
In the public, it's really not good to push back and forth like this. Wen Gang and Ye Yu knew that she was a woman, and their eyeballs were getting bigger and bigger. They were gentle and helpless, so they had to accept the money and thanked Master Lu. He left the fish stall as if he was running away, and after walking a long way, he heard Master Lu's loud voice shouting from behind: "Come here when you have time, I always set up a stall here..."

When she reached the corner, Rourou turned her head again and saw that there was still a huge crowd of people in front of the fish meat stall. It seemed that her actions just now hadn't ruined Master Lu's business, so she let out a long breath.

"Sister, you are amazing!" Wen Gang said with a soft laugh, "You can even make fish sticks, pastries and delicious meals."

"Don't call me sister, have you forgotten that I'm in men's clothing?" The gentle voice was lowered, and she patted him on the head lightly, but her heart was filled with emotion, because she thought of her grandpa again.

Speaking of it, it is difficult for a chef at her age to be proficient in everything. Some have specialized skills. Some are good at carving, some are good at knives, some prefer Chinese dishes, and some are proficient in Western pastries, but she seems to be able to do everything. , Everything is done very well, this is all thanks to the influence and training of my grandfather since childhood, especially knife skills, she started practicing when she was less than ten years old, and she didn't know how many knives were broken before she could achieve what she is today.Thank goodness, thanks to this, she can have some kind of handcraft after crossing, otherwise it would be really difficult to live in this world.

After shopping for a day, I spent a lot of money. I didn’t expect to go to eat fish cakes on a whim, and won two hundred prizes. I calmed down gently, suppressed the sadness in my heart, and then looked down at the bag in my hand. Holding two hundred-cent coins, he smiled at Xiaohuan: "What else do you want to eat? Let's continue shopping!"

"Didn't you say that you will cook something new for us when you go back tonight?" Xiaohuan said with a smile, "It's going to be dark soon, if you don't go back, we won't be able to eat today!"

Rourou forgot about this, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Then I'll make it for you guys tomorrow. In the evening, I'll spend all the two hundred coins before I let you go home!"
