Return To 1977 Chapter 783: Conditions
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
It is said that hard work pays off, and this is probably the truth.
Because on December 4, 1982, my country’s new constitution formally defined the individual economy as a supplement to the socialist public ownership economy, and made a commitment to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the individual economy.
At the same time, the ninth Asian Games concluded in New Delhi, India. This is the day when our country announced that it had won a total of 61 gold medals, ranking first in the total number of gold medals in the Asian Games for the first time.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan finally got what they wanted, prompting "Zhang Dashao" to relax and agree to pass on the art.
Of course, this is not because they frequently treat guests, show hospitality, or play tricks.
The real reason is that their dedication to "stealing skills" and practicing hard impressed "Zhang Dashao".
Since Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan saw "Zhang Dashao's" "Golden Retriever Lionfish", they felt that it was particularly amazing and they will never forget it.
The more I thought about it later, I realized that the preparation process of this dish is simple and clear, and I had the urge to try it.
So the two of them did what they said. For a month, they have been frying fish non-stop in Chen's small kitchen every day.
A total of hundreds of carp and several barrels of oil were used.
Because of this, the Hong family’s dining table never had fish that looked like rag strips, and the neighbors in the east and west courtyards also took turns to get their hands on it.
It wasn't until the Chen family's trash can had become a gathering place for nearby domestic cats and wild cats that they regularly fried their fish.
It’s no use just looking good, it doesn’t taste good no matter how you make it.
Wang Yunlin’s sweet and sour sauce is okay, but it’s home-cooked.
So for the final step of seasoning, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan did not hesitate to use two bottles of Maotai as tuition, and then asked "Zhang Dashao" for advice.
The result was that on this day, the two of them brought out two plates of half-finished fish that had just been fried earlier in the morning, and "Zhang Dashao" was surprised on the spot.
Because the old man is very aware of the abilities of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, and he also knows that the secret to this dish is to endure hardship and practice diligently.
Didn’t he say it himself at the beginning? Even those who are lazy and afraid of hardship will not be able to learn.
Being able to fry fish to look like a poodle in one month is already an achievement.
He could completely guess what the two of them had paid for.
But here, the surprise has just begun.
"Zhang Dashao" was soon shocked again by the two boys.
Because he found that Chen Liquan, who had the best "wagging his head and wagging his tail" posture, had no technical skills reflected in his hands. There was no sign of suffering at all.
On the contrary, Hong Yanwu was worse, but his hands were peeled off by the oil. What's going on?
As soon as he inquired about the result, Hong Yanwu immediately started to talk eloquently.
He said that Chen Liquan had real kung fu, which he learned from iron sand.
Not to mention frying fish, you can also crush walnuts with your bare hands and pull out the bones from the meat.
Where can I trust this "Zhang Dashao"? He simply regarded Hong Yanwu as a Dali Pill seller.
But Hong Yanwu then pulled Chen Liquan to perform live, and he actually proved it to be true.
This silly boy can peel walnut kernels. He can break the shell bit by bit and get out the whole walnut kernel.
Give him a pig bone, and he can break the tendon in just a few strokes and pull out the bone cleanly.
Okay, if you have this ability, is it still difficult to get a "three sets of ducks"!
Who would have thought that practicing martial arts would be a good way to train cooks?
What is even more unexpected is that when "Zhang Dashao" asked them how to practice their knife skills, Hong Yanwu actually had a flash of wisdom.
I dare you to say that when they sliced the fish, it turned out to be horizontal slices. But then it becomes difficult to make shredded fish and meat. It was Hong Yanwu who later came up with a trick and used scissors to cut. This solved the problem.
This guy was a little embarrassed when he said it, thinking that "Zhang Dashao" would talk about him.
Those who speak feel ashamed, but those who hear understand.
In fact, finding labor-saving and convenient ways without affecting the quality of the dishes cannot be called laziness.
"Zhang Dashao"'s knife skills cannot be mastered in just a few days. He knows best that many chefs who are not good at knife skills actually follow this method in order to make this dish.
What does it mean that Hong Yan is able to learn martial arts without a teacher and figure out this method on his own? It shows that he not only has brains but also puts his mind into it.
So, even if this kid doesn't have the skills of Chen Liquan, what he embodies is actually a more important quality.
This is talent.
Only such people can turn a piece of cress and a piece of sauce into a precious and novel dish.
On the other hand, if a chef refuses to use his brain and just practices hard skills.
Although you can inherit traditional skills and become a good chef, there is always an insurmountable barrier between becoming a famous chef.
Think about it, seeing these two pieces of information, "Zhang Dashao" who has lived to be more than sixty years old, how angry is he? It is impossible to say that I am not happy.
To put it bluntly, he felt that if he didn't accept these two apprentices, he would feel sorry for his own craftsmanship, let alone his ancestor.
In this way, "Zhang Dashao" simply used this incident to completely clarify his words.
"I now know that you two really want to learn some skills. Since you have the sincerity and the perseverance. Yes, I can teach you. But I also have a few conditions. You must listen first and do it. I won’t teach until the time comes.”
"First, I teach my skills and don't accept apprentices. What do you mean? I teach you my skills, but we don't have the status of masters and apprentices. From now on, you can make a living based on this skill, but you are never allowed to use my name to others. Why? Because I no longer believe in the master-disciple relationship. What kind of master-disciple is this? The apprentice has no obligation to the master, and the master does not have to take responsibility for the apprentice. So let’s not make any false promises. , no matter how good you say it, it’s useless.”
"Second, you can't teach your skills in vain. No matter when, passing on skills is something that you can live in, and it is the ability summed up by generations of predecessors. Once you learn it, the benefits will be endless, and you will always have the same career path. In turn, It's a matter of teaching the apprentice to starve him to death. So what I mean is that we have to follow the past rules and be an apprentice for at least three years. All of your wages will be mine for these three years, can you two do it? Let’s go back and do some calculations?”
Not to mention that this condition, which is difficult for ordinary people, is really not a problem for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
To be honest, what they feel now is that in addition to being more curious about what "Zhang Dashao" has experienced in the past, they also only feel surprised.
Now that "Zhang Dashao"'s attitude has been so rarely relaxed, and his long-cherished wish is about to come true, what nonsense is there to talk about?
Put everything aside for now, and kill him as soon as possible to avoid changing your mind.
So the two brothers hurriedly agreed. He quickly bowed and saluted, and then offered two bottles of wine, just in time for Jing'er to respond.
On this day, what "Zhang Dashao" taught them were several technical essentials of "golden lionfish".
First, when slicing fish, the knife should be thin and thicker toward the head of the fish.
The second is how to hang the batter and how to smooth the shredded fish into the pot.
Third, control the oil temperature when frying. Fry at 70% heat to adjust the shape for three minutes, and then fry at high heat for another two minutes.
And finally, take ketchup, sweet and sour sauce made from white sugar, white vinegar and orange juice.
I have to say that the guidance of famous teachers is indeed miraculous.
That night, a decent "golden lionfish" finally appeared on the Hong family's dining table.
Although the Hong family has long been tired of the smell of fish, the alluring color and fragrance are extraordinary as soon as they smell it.
Everyone just stretched out their chopsticks to taste it and couldn't put it away. They quickly devoured the dish jointly created by Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. Everyone praised it.
Not to mention that Xu Manli and Hong Jun are particularly fond of it. Even Hong Lucheng said that it can be sold for five or six yuan, which is enough to serve as a signature dish for a small restaurant.
And this is just "Zhang Dashao". He said he could score 40 points, but in fact he failed.
So based on this, it can be said that there is hope for the restoration of the Hong family's old store, and even for the business prosperity of the past to return.
