Chapter 47 Teaching Experience
He Xiaoxiao agreed: "What you said seems to make sense, but this month we were only responsible for washing and chopping vegetables every day, and we didn't learn anything at all."

Qian Hongxian doesn't think so: "Don't look at these trivial things, but they can exercise our basic skills. For example, washing vegetables can exercise our waist and legs. We have to stand in front of the stove most of the time as cooks. If you are not good at kung fu, you will definitely not be able to stand it. As for the benefits of cutting vegetables, it is even more obvious. It can exercise our knife skills. A good cook does not only need to be able to handle the spoon, but also pays attention to knife skills, carving skills and arranging dishes. Like Knife skills are completely acquired through practice, and only with more cutting and more practice can you get better and better."

I have to admit that Qian Hongxian is indeed more experienced and talented than them in cooking, and has more power to speak than them.The two of them only felt that what she said was very reasonable, and they couldn't help pestering her at the end: "We think what you said is very right, that, can you tell us more? It seems that we should pay attention to it during the assessment." What, what should I do if I encounter a dish that I can't cook?"

Dare these two people regard her as a master who imparts experience, Qian Hongxian felt helpless and wanted to laugh, but patiently explained to them: "There are only a few methods of cooking, and the most commonly used method is steaming. , Fried, fried, boiled, stir-fried, fried, simmered, braised, even if it is an ingredient that has not been touched before, there is no need to panic, first figure out the characteristics of the ingredient, and then find out the appropriate cooking method. Another point, The time and seasonings used in cooking are very particular. Only when they are in place can the nutrition, color and aroma of the dishes be guaranteed. Of course, these are not accomplished overnight. In addition to the talent in this area, the later cooking experience is also very good. important."

"Of course, cooking is not always the same. The same ingredient can be used in different ways to make different tastes. Similarly, for different ingredients, we must learn to use their respective characteristics to fuse them together to become A complete dish. As long as we learn how to grasp the ingredients, we believe that no matter what kind of ingredients we put in front of us, we can make delicious dishes. But there is one thing, we must pay attention to the compatibility of food.”

After Qian Hongxian finished speaking, she wanted to continue talking, but seeing Lin Yuyan and He Xiaoxiao staring at her eyes, she couldn't help but touched her nose and said, "What's wrong, am I wrong?"

Lin Yuyan and He Xiaoxiao shook their heads at the same time, their eyes gradually became brighter from dull, and there was a little joy and admiration on their faces at the same time: "No matter what ingredients you get, you can make delicious dishes? Is it okay to cook dishes that you haven’t cooked before?”

"Of course." Qian Hongxian replied with certainty, "You know, every flower and fruit in this world can be used in dishes, it is impossible for you to have seen every ingredient, and it is impossible for you to never cook ingredients that you have never seen before. If you want to do it naturally, you have to make it delicious."

"You said that a flower and a leaf can be used as a vegetable, so can flowers be used as a vegetable?"

Seeing the surprised and puzzled expressions on the faces of the two, Qian Hongxian was not surprised. He just pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Naturally. The use of flowers in vegetables has existed since ancient times. Such as peonies, roses, chrysanthemums, orchids, osmanthus, lotus All of these can be used for cooking.” In modern times, cooking with flowers has become a fashion.Not only can beautify the skin, but also can preserve health and cure diseases.
