Chapter 724: The Old Turtle's Teachings
The exchange price is four times higher, but to some extent it may also indicate that the Moonlight Beef is several times more delicious than the Lava Eel, otherwise it would not make sense. Heath decided to take some of the Moonlight Beef out to taste it after returning to the dining car. Although Heath had never cooked it before, there are so many ways to cook beef. Heath's only question is what method is better to cook this Moonlight Beef, so Heath decided to go out and ask others. Since Jun Shashu said that the beef was brought by his friend, there is no reason for the person who brought the beef not to know how to cook the Moonlight Beef.
"Oh? I said you would come out and ask. Haha, old turtle, just tell me, don't hide it. This is my junior." Jun Shaxiu laughed heartily, and then said to an elderly man . The other man stood up with a helpless look on his face. After standing up, Heath knew why his nickname was Old Turtle.
Because the person in front of him looked really unique, like Master Roshi in the anime Heath had watched. This world also has the anime Dragon Ball, but the plot has been slightly modified. Heath has watched it several times, but Master Roshi does exist.
"Boy, come in, I want to talk to you. Since you are the junior of that old immortal, I won't be polite with you." The old turtle first glared at his friend, then walked over with an unhappy face, came to Heath, waved his hand, and Heath hurriedly followed him in.
Heath had experienced similar things when he was a kitchen helper before, but it was not so easy back then. It was not a simple thing to become a disciple. You had to bring gifts and help with things. Only after being tested would the other party be willing to accept you as a disciple. What's more, whether the other party was willing was also a problem, especially for an old master who had a unique skill. He had a very firm grasp of this skill, and it was absolutely impossible to get it out of him casually.
There are even more rules in the kitchen, and this old senior has mastered the recipe of a precious delicacy. It can be said that it can even be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom. This is no joke. The Goubuli steamed buns in the past were praised by the old Buddha, so it is conceivable that the buns were indeed delicious, but they were not cut off due to the issue of inheritance. The subsequent Goubuli steamed buns were all developed by later generations themselves .
So Heath was very excited that the other party was able to teach him directly. At the same time, he was also certain that old man Jun Shaxiu was definitely a close friend of these people. Otherwise, how could it be possible that old man Jun Shaxiu could make others show their best skills with just one sentence?
"Boy, remember this, Moonlight Beef is an absolute delicacy that can only be found in beef tendons. But also because of this, its preparation is more particular. In fact, you can cook it in any way you want, braised or boiled, there is no particular requirement, but there is one thing you need to remember." The old turtle was very calm. After he came to the kitchen, he even performed some knife tricks. The kitchen knife went very smoothly in his hand, and then he threw it directly to Heath, who took it without even looking at it. The old turtle nodded with satisfaction.
This is actually a very dangerous thing. After all, this is a kitchen knife, and a very sharp one at that. If you are not careful, the knife may chop you off. Cutting off fingers or hands is not a problem. However, Heath took it off without even looking at it, which proves that Heath is brave and confident, and he has already mastered the skill of using the kitchen knife.
Although the old turtle would not hide anything for the sake of Jun Shaxiu, he still wanted to test Heath's skills. From the small to the big, Heath was so skilled in using the kitchen knife, so he must not be too bad with the others either.
"You say, old senior." Heath's attitude was very humble. This is what being an apprentice is like. One must be humble and eager to learn. Many masters say that they have the heart of an apprentice. In fact, this is what they mean. They also have the mentality of a beginner towards the old trades that they have already mastered.
"This moonlight beef is very unique. It glows, but if you want to make it glow and stimulate its deliciousness, you have to massage it. Massage it well, with neither light nor heavy force, just this force!" The old turtle pinched Heath's arm. Heath nodded. He had already memorized this force.
“Keep pressing until the surface of the beef is not loose but the inside is soft, then turn off the light and you can see a little fluorescent light flashing. Then use this recipe to blanch it in water, put it in for three seconds after the water boils and then take it all out, otherwise it will be useless.” The old turtle took out a piece of paper and handed it to Heath, who took it respectfully. This was the foundation of an old chef, the recipe, this kind of thing might not be obtained by anyone other than his own son, but Heath got it.
"Thank you, Master!" Heath nodded gratefully. The other party's attitude was really amazing. Heath used to learn the secret of crispy beef from an old chef and treated the chef as his own father. It took him three full years to get the secret. The hardships involved were not worth mentioning.
Three years is considered a short time. Some masters will wait until they are about to be buried before telling the secret recipe. The old turtle was able to hand it over to him directly, so there was really nothing wrong with Heath's call him master.
Jun Shaxiu was sitting outside. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh, and then continued chatting with his old comrades.
The old turtle couldn't help but smile when he heard Heath's words. He stood aside with his hands behind his back and watched Heath process the meat. This was a test. He did not agree with Heath, but if Heath could cook this piece of beef well, it would prove that Heath had good talent and was serious enough.
Heath also knew what the old turtle meant, so he concentrated on processing the beef at hand. In the middle, the old turtle said a few words to try to interrupt Heath's attention, but it was useless, which made him even more satisfied.
Heath was concentrating on pressing the beef. The force should not be too strong or too weak. It was difficult to maintain the same force all the time. After pressing for a full twenty minutes, Heath suddenly found that the light was out, and the piece of beef in front of him emitted some bright fluorescence.
"Good, let's blanch it." The old turtle nodded with satisfaction. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer chefs with patience.
"Okay, Master." Heath immediately started to grab the seasonings according to the recipe he had written down before, and the next step was to blanch them.
