At the beginning, he specially recommended Liu Dun to be his apprentice because he saw that Liu Dun was bullying the restaurant by relying on his skills.

He probably saw through it, but they didn't teach him anything useful at all, and made him do chores every day. What Liu Dun knows now were all learned secretly when he was doing chores. Alas.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course."

"How do you plan to negotiate this deal?" Su Jianye realized that this was an opportunity to save Yunlai Restaurant.

"A recipe costs one hundred taels. How many copies do you want?" Li Xi looked at Su Jianye with a smile.

Although her cooking skills are not very good, she has a good memory. Thanks to the modern information explosion, she has a lot of Chinese delicacies in her mind.

"One hundred taels, this price is a bit too expensive." Su Jianye said embarrassedly, but his heart was startled by what Li Xi had just said. She had just asked him how many copies he wanted, and how many recipes did she have in her hand?

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. As for the quality of the dishes, you have to taste them to know. May I borrow the kitchen for use?" Li Xi was confident.

"Of course, please."

Coming down from the second floor, Su Jianye called Liu Dun from the kitchen and motioned to Li Xi, "Okay, please."

Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi, and she looked at him too.

Gu Jingzhi felt uneasy. Huh? Why did he feel dangerous?

"Gu Yin, come over and help." Li Xi was quite familiar with her cooking skills, so she decided to dictate the recipe. Well, she shouldn't be a problem if she lets Gu Yin cook it.

Gu Jingzhi thought about it and did not refuse. He followed her to the kitchen. Of course, Little Tail Hu Zi also followed.

Yunlai Restaurant is quite large, and the kitchen is also quite large. Li Xi looked at the stove and the surroundings. Well, it can be seen that the kitchen is quite clean.

"You don't want me to help you prepare food and light the fire, do you?" Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi suspiciously, but he was already sure that this was the case, otherwise what would she do by asking him to come to the kitchen.

Li Xi shook her head and smiled, "Of course not, you cook."

"Cooking?" Gu Jingzhi suspected that his ears were broken, otherwise how could he hear such outrageous words.

Gu Jingzhi is not a male chauvinist, but his status is there. Let alone cooking, he has never even entered the kitchen before.

Li Xi smiled and nodded, "Well, don't worry, this kind of thing will become easier the second time. I'm giving you a chance to master new skills."

Gu Jingzhi: "...That's not necessary."

"Hey, don't be embarrassed." Li Xi pulled him to the stove, "Huzi, light the fire!"

"Yeah." Hu Zi is an expert at making fire.

Li Xi glanced at the prepared dishes on the stove and had an idea in mind.

"Let's start with a simple dish, braised spareribs." He handed the spoon to Gu Jingzhi, "Let's heat the pan first. Oh, no need to heat the pan, just heat the oil."

Gu Jingzhi: ...

Looking at Li Xi's serious eyes, Gu Jingzhi finally compromised and took the spoon to scoop a spoonful of oil.

"Yeah, put it in the pot."

"Yes, this is lard. We have to wait for it to melt."

"Okay, it's melted. Then, wait, no, we need to blanch the ribs first to wash off the blood foam."

Gu Jingzhi looked at her with a spoon in his hand: ...

Li Xi felt a little guilty when he looked at her, but only a little. "It's okay, it's not a big deal. There's another pot next to it. Use this pot."

Li Xi scooped water into the pot with a ladle, "Huzi, now it's your job, come and boil some water."

After the water boiled, Li Xi instructed Gu Jingzhi to pour the ribs in and blanch them. After the blood foam was cooked out, he asked him to wash them with cold water.

During this process, Gu Jingzhi kept a cold face, but Li Xi pretended not to see it.

"Okay, continue with the steps we just did. Heat the oil, add the rock sugar, and fry until the sugar color comes out. Then add the ribs, stir-fry, and stir-fry again."

As Gu Jingzhi stir-fried the ribs, they turned caramel color.

"Sister, it smells so good." Hu Zi said, raising his little head.

"Well, I'll let you eat it later.

Okay, add water to cover the ribs. That’s it. Now you can add seasonings, soy sauce, salt, and a little sugar to enhance the flavor.

It’s done. Next, wait for the water to dry up and you can serve it. ”

When Gu Jingzhi heard her say it was okay, he put down the spoon and breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over. He felt that cooking was more tiring than fighting in the battlefield.

Just when Gu Jingzhi thought it was over, Li Xi smiled and brought the prepared fish over, "It's time to move on to the next dish, the squirrel mandarin fish."

Gu Jingzhi: "...Don't even think about it."

"I don't want to, just you do it." This person is about to leave and will not be of any use in the future. If he is not used now, then when will he be used?

Gu Jingzhi was speechless as he looked at Li Xi's unreasonable attitude.

But in the end, he still couldn't hold her over. "Tell me, how to do it."

Li Xi smiled, "Come on, first hold the fish body with a rag, cut off the fish head, then hold the fish body, use a knife to slice the fish meat along the bones, and be careful not to break the tail.

Then cut another piece of fish meat on the reverse side and remove the fish bones.

With the skin facing down, make straight cuts on the fish meat, then diagonal cuts, until the fish skin forms diamond-shaped cuts.

You are a knife player, this shouldn't be a problem, believe in yourself!"

Gu Jingzhi glanced at Li Xi, put the fish on the chopping board, and started to cut the fish according to the steps she had just described. In fact, what Li Xi said was quite right. Gu Jingzhi was indeed very good at using the knife, and he successfully cut the fish according to the steps Li Xi had described.

"Marinate the fish head and fish meat with white wine, salt and ginger for ten minutes." Li Xi took a porcelain basin and handed it to Li Xi.

Gu Jingzhi noticed the ten minutes Li Xi just mentioned, and his eyes flickered, "Ten minutes?"

Li Xi realized that she had said the wrong thing, "It's nothing, just marinate it for a while.

Let's prepare the sauce while we're at it."

Gu Jingzhi didn't delve into it further. He followed her instructions and fried the tomatoes into a sauce with salt, sugar and vinegar. After boiling, he added water starch to thicken the sauce and set aside.

"Okay, now we can fry the fish. Frying fish is a little tricky. You have to do it this way... this way... and then this way..."

According to Li Xi's narration, the fish was squeezed until it turned golden brown, put into the plate, and then poured with sauce, and a dish of squirrel mandarin fish was ready.

At this time, the braised spareribs that had been simmering in the pot were ready. This time, Gu Jingzhi took the plate from Li Xi's hand and served the dish without Li Xi telling him to do anything.

He had been resisting before, but now looking at the two delicious dishes in front of him, Gu Jingzhi actually felt a sense of satisfaction.

Seeing Hu Zi almost drooling, Li Xi smiled, "Here, little greedy cat, have a piece of pork ribs."

For the sake of presentation, Li Xi doesn't plan to move the squirrel mandarin fish now.

"Gu Yin, you often do this too. This is what you did." Li Xi picked up a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks and fed it to him.

Gu Jingzhi was stunned for a moment as he looked at the chopsticks approaching his mouth. At Li Xi's urging, he opened his mouth and ate.

"How does it taste?" Li Xi said as she stuffed a piece into her mouth. "Yeah, not bad, it tastes just like this."

Gu Jingzhi noticed that the chopsticks she used were the same pair he had just given him. He was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he held back and said nothing.
