Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

It's really stress-relieving! Zhao Xiaojing cut the potatoes in one go, with a smile on her face. After cutting the last potato, she habitually fished in the basket with her left hand, only to find that the potato was gone.

When she looked up, she found that the two cooks in the kitchen were looking at her in disbelief.

"What, what's wrong?"

"How old were you when you went out to work as a child laborer, or did you just play with kitchen knives at home?" Sun Dehai tried to hold back, but still asked.

Originally, he didn't need shredded potatoes. He just wanted to show off his chef style and shock the young kid. But the kid cut all the potatoes he was going to stew into shreds before he could even ask to stop...

And it was better and faster than what he could cut himself. He almost fell to his knees just watching it.

"Uh... no, I've been cooking at home since I was a child..." Zhao Xiaojing made up a story.

“Xiao Zhao, you’re awesome! If I had your skills, I wouldn’t have to change jobs so many times…” Master He grabbed the shredded potatoes in the bowl with a dreamy look on his face and looked at them again and again.

Then I cut green peppers, cucumber cubes, ginger slices, shredded meat, meat cubes, diced chicken, etc...

Master He originally wanted to help *** during the transition period, but when he saw the worker's proficiency, he ran out and helped the vegetable washer wash vegetables.

It was already past ten o'clock when all the vegetables were cut. Zhao Xiaojing took a look at the dishes that Sun Dehai was going to make: Kung Pao Chicken, Braised Pork with Dried Bamboo Shoots, Spicy Chicken Hearts, Shredded Pork with Green Peppers, and Spicy and Sour Shredded Potatoes.

On the other side, Chef He had already started steaming the rice.

On the first day of cooking at work, Zhao Xiaojing wanted to give the workers a good impression, so for meat dishes she used her best fried food. As for vegetarian dishes, it was hot in summer, so refreshing cold dishes were perfect.

After checking the existing ingredients in the freezer and then glanced at Sun Dehai's prepared dishes, Zhao Xiaojing took out a few bags of crab sticks and asked the vegetable washer to wash a few baskets of spinach and peel a basket of lettuce.

Cut the lettuce into shreds and place it in a stainless steel bowl. Sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt and spread it evenly. Use salt to kill the moisture and marinate for twenty minutes.

Blanch the washed spinach in water, add a small amount of salt and oil, and quickly remove and let cool after the spinach becomes soft.

Remove the paper from the crab sticks and thaw them. Take out a stainless steel bowl, beat a few eggs, pour in starch, a little salt and black pepper, and mix well.

Put the crab sticks into the bowl one by one and evenly coat the surface with the mixed batter.

Put oil in the pan, add the wrapped crab sticks when the oil is hot, fry until the surface is golden brown, then remove and set aside.

Squeeze out the moisture from the cooled spinach and then chop into small pieces.

Add fried sesame seeds, sesame oil and salt to the chopped spinach and mix well. The cold spinach salad is ready.

Then pour out the water from the pickled lettuce, add minced garlic, chili, sugar, chicken essence, drizzle some sesame oil and mix well, and the cold shredded lettuce is ready.

These two cold vegetarian dishes have a relatively refreshing taste. Zhao Xiaojing did not add too many seasonings. Sun Dehai had already made the heavy-tasting dishes, and these two refreshing side dishes were just right to relieve the greasiness.

Then fry the fried crab sticks again, increase the oil temperature, fry for 30 seconds and remove from the pan.

After serving, sprinkle a little Zhao Xiaojing’s special mixed seasoning powder on top.

Zhao Xiaojing made the mixed seasoning powder using the seasonings available in the cafeteria. Except for the two types of Chinese medicine powders specific to the system, she found the other ingredients in the kitchen, then ground them into powder and mixed them according to the proportions.

When the helper saw that Zhao Xiaojing's dish was ready, he helped to bring it out. On the other side, Sun Dehai also raised the spoon and scooped out the last spoonful of shredded potatoes in the pot.

Zhao Xiaojing secretly admired him. She originally thought that the dishes on the construction site were all cooked in a big pot with a shovel-like spatula. She didn't expect Master Sun to be so professional. The last dish, spicy and sour potato shreds, was cooked in a whole pot.

And the scene of the flames raging and the stir-frying was so cool! I wish she could learn it someday.

However, Zhao Xiaojing didn't know that Sun Dehai was almost crying while flipping the pot. He kept regretting the whole process, blaming himself for being so mean. He asked the kitchen helper to cut the potatoes into shreds just to make fun of him. He could have just made the potatoes and braised pork in brown sauce, stewed in a big pot...

But since the shreds were already cut, he had no choice but to make stir-fried spicy potato shreds, and the braised pork with potatoes was replaced with braised pork with bamboo shoots...

"Master Sun, you look so cool when you toss the wok! You are so dedicated!" Zhao Xiaojing admired him sincerely and couldn't help but praise him.

Sun Dehai, who was about to cry from exhaustion, immediately became relaxed upon hearing this. He straightened his back and beamed with joy: "This is our awareness as a chef. As the saying goes, tastes may change, but the chef's spirit remains the same. Since we have this job, we must prepare every meal carefully. This is something engraved in our bones. Xiao Zhao, I tell you, don't underestimate the flipping of the wok. There are many things to pay attention to. First of all..."

Master He in the corner couldn't help but burst out laughing. Master Sun was so proud when he was praised. He didn't expect that he would be controlled by the little girl on the first day.

But Zhao Xiaojing listened attentively. Since her rebirth, everything she knew was transmitted to her by the system with one click. This was the first time that a real chef came to teach her something.

Although she is quite good at cooking, after all, she only relies on the experience of making home-cooked meals in her previous life. She is still far from being a formally trained chef.

"Master Sun, is the last dish ready? It's already 11: and the waiter at the front is urging us to cook!" the helper stretched his neck and shouted.

"There are two more pots left! Bring these to the front first!" Sun Dehai suddenly woke up from his endless chatter. Damn it, you have such a stupid brain! Why are you so arrogant again?

Zhao Xiaojing was listening with great interest. Sun Dehai had just started talking about the technique of flipping the spoon when he was interrupted just when he was talking about wrist strength. She felt very sorry.

I could only stand by and carefully observe every step of Master Sun's frying the shredded potatoes.

"Master Sun, what is the purpose of soaking this dried chili in water?" Zhao Xiaojing was puzzled when she saw the dried chili that Master Sun had specially soaked in water next to him.

“It won’t get burnt easily when you soak it and it will taste better!” Master Sun fried it even more vigorously when he saw Zhao Xiaojing watching with a longing look on her face.

In the front hall of the canteen, workers who had worked all morning came to get their meals.

Secretary Fan also followed Manager Li. After returning from the cafeteria today, he told Manager Li about the situation in the kitchen. Manager Li was also very surprised when he heard it, and the two of them discussed coming over early today to take a look.

Manager Li usually eats late, and never comes to the cafeteria until after 12:30 when there are not too many people in the cafeteria. But today his curiosity was completely aroused by what Secretary Fan said.

The two stood at the window and saw three side dishes that were completely different from the usual style.

"Give me those three dishes." Manager Li pointed at the three dishes made by Zhao Xiaojing and ordered them, wanting to try the cooking skills of this new girl.

"Me too. Oh no! Replace the lettuce with shredded potatoes." Secretary Fan continued to order. He was also very curious about Zhao Xiaojing's cooking skills. Although the shredded potatoes were probably not cooked by her, they were cut so well that he also wanted to try it.

After they prepared their meal, they sat down nearby.

"The potato shreds are really good, like matchsticks."

Although Manager Li had heard Secretary Fan talk about it, he still couldn't help but admire what was in Secretary Fan's lunch box.

Looking at my own food tray again, the fried golden and almost orange crab sticks, the green lettuce dotted with chopped red peppers, and the lush green spinach sprinkled with white sesame seeds, all of them are matched together.

"These three side dishes look good, let's try them!" Manager Li said, picking up a piece of spinach with chopsticks, and Secretary Fan followed suit and picked up a crab stick.

Spinach is very refreshing and has a sweet taste, and the fried sesame seeds add an extra layer of fragrance.

"Not bad, very refreshing! Xiao Zhao's cooking is comparable to that of the previous assistant chef at such a young age. He has great potential. What do you think?"

Manager Li didn't get a response. He looked up and saw Secretary Fan chewing something in his mouth. He could even hear the crispy sound. He looked again and half of the crab stick was gone.

When Secretary Fan saw Manager Li looking at her, she covered her mouth in embarrassment, chewing furiously while staring at the crab sticks.

"What's going on? Are there steel wool in here?" Manager Li picked up one and was about to take a closer look when he smelled a fried and burnt aroma mixed with a strong aroma of seasoning.

I took a bite subconsciously.

So delicious? Not sure, try it again. Still so delicious? Not sure, try it again.

After a while, the crab stick trays in front of Manager Li and Secretary Fan were empty.

“This time we have invited the real Buddha… How did you make this dish? It’s so delicious!”

"It's amazing! This is clearly what Master Sun used to make the spicy hot pot. How come it tastes so good after being transformed into something else?"

The two looked at each other and then at the window, both wanting to order another one, but the workers had already formed a long line.

"The dishes are a little different today. The three dishes over there don't look very similar to before."

"Didn't the new woman say she had resigned? Is she being replaced?"

"Really? That's great. I don't want to eat boiled vegetables anymore."

The workers waiting in line were looking at today's dishes and discussing them.

"Oh, today Lao Sun finally decided to stir-fry shredded potatoes again. I've been craving this! I can stew potatoes and make salt and pepper potato strips every day. It's so rare."

"I want some shredded potatoes! I want some braised pork, and um... diced chicken."

"Spinach, shredded potatoes, chicken hearts."

"Shredded pork, shredded potatoes, braised pork."

The workers who took orders saw the red, yellow and green shredded potatoes, each one clearly separated and very attractive in appearance, and basically ordered one portion.

It was obvious at a glance that the fried crab sticks were the same crab sticks that were usually used to make mixed vegetables. This dish was not popular and almost no one ordered it.

Until a worker came and queued up again while eating from the food tray.

"What's up, Lao Liu? I'm so hungry today, and I'm already in line while I'm still eating!"

Holding the food tray, Liu Yifan saw that the person who was talking was Wen Jieling, a co-worker in his group, and pulled his sleeve.

"I'm telling you, we'll make the fried crab sticks in a bit! All three portions will have crab sticks! That dish is so delicious!"

"Ah? Don't we eat that thing every day? It sounds like I'm too lazy to fight. Don't lie to me!" Wen Jie Ling looked unconvinced.

"Why would I lie to you? Your son lied to you! Liu Qiang just opened a box for me to taste! If you don't believe me, just open one and try it. If it doesn't taste good, I'm your son. If it tastes good, you're my son!"

"...You wait, son!" Wen Jie Ling didn't want to fight at first, but Liu Yifan's words aroused his desire to win.

"I want potatoes, lettuce, and crab sticks!"

The person who was about to get his food nearby also heard it, turned around and saw that Liu Yifan didn't look like he was trying to fool people, so he ordered a serving of shredded potatoes, crab sticks and braised pork.

"Three servings of crab sticks! More decorations, more decorations!" Finally it was Liu Yifan's turn, and he excitedly handed over the food tray.
