Xiao Li looked at Lin Yi's confident back, and his mind was full of questions. In terms of cooking ability, Deputy Monitor Jiang should be stronger.
However, he, who blindly followed Lin Yi, didn't care so much and hurriedly chased after him. Anyway, Lin Yi had never let him down.
After entering the tent, dozens of fish had been cleaned. When Deputy Brigadier Meng saw Lin Yi coming, he didn't hesitate, "Let's start now. By the way, give me a pot and I'll do it too. Some days
I haven’t shown off my cooking skills anymore. If I don’t practice, I will become rusty.”
Deputy Brigadier Meng Chuan is known as the strongest cook in the entire brigade.
The reason is also very simple. Anyone who has eaten the food cooked by Deputy Brigadier Meng will not fail to say good things about it.
Although many people may think this is a compliment, many battalion leaders after eating the food cooked by Deputy Brigadier Meng are looking forward to eating it again next time. It is difficult to fake that feeling.
Squad leader Chen has heard a lot, and of course he wants to see it. If a leader cooks delicious food, it will put a lot of money on the face of the cooking team.
So he hurriedly looked at the two cooking soldiers and ordered: "You two quickly get a pot for Deputy Brigadier Meng, and then strike."
Lin Yi also came to the big pot at this time and looked at the fish, lost in thought.
The dish I made this time was very simple, just fish.
There is no requirement for the method of cooking fish. After all, the only ingredient is fish. If there are not many ways to prepare it, then the warrior will taste too bland.
Deputy Brigadier Meng was the first to take action. He planned to cook boiled fish this time. I heard that boiled fish is Deputy Brigadier Meng’s signature dish and is also a specialty. However, neither Lin Yi nor Deputy Squad Leader Jiang chose to cook boiled fish.
The reason is very simple. It is very troublesome to make boiled fish. There are many soldiers who are willing to help Deputy Brigadier Meng, so he can naturally solve these tedious steps.
But I can't do it myself. The cooking team is short of manpower, so I can only rely on myself.
Deputy monitor Jiang had already thought about what dish he should cook, so he said, "I'll make steamed fish."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Yi provocatively.
Lin Yi knows that there are many ways to cook fish. Although his cooking skills are excellent, it does not mean that he can decide what kind of fish to make at once.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yi still hadn't decided what to do.
Deputy squad leader Jiang had already modified the fish's knife at this time. His fluent knife skills showed that he was a master. When he saw that Lin Yi had not yet started, he said: "If you don't know how to do it, please replace it quickly. If it's delayed,
If the soldiers' meal time is interrupted, the matter will become a big deal."
When Deputy Brigadier Meng saw that Lin Yi had not yet taken action, he also said, "Let's do it quickly."
Lin Yi struggled for a long time and suddenly looked at Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, what kind of fish do you like best?"
Xiao Li was shocked by Lin Yi's shout. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Xiao Li's face. Xiao Li was only eighteen years old this year. He had never experienced such a battle. He stammered and said quickly, "
Braised fish."
Okay, let’s make braised fish.
When squad leader Chen heard this, he just wanted to say, don't make braised fish, because it needs to be fried, and it will easily burn if not done well.
Compared to boiled or steamed dishes, no matter how they are cooked, at least they will not be mushy.
Unexpectedly, the moment he saw Lin Yi pick up the spatula, his aura suddenly changed completely. He was like a king, extremely skilled and confident in what he was going to do next.
Squad Leader Chen had only seen this feeling in his predecessor, the old cooking squad leader, who had already been transferred to the military as a cooking instructor because of his excellent cooking skills.
When Deputy Brigadier Meng saw Lin Yi's extremely smooth movements in lifting the pot and heating the oil, and how skillfully he pinched the fish and changed it into a knife, he sighed inwardly, "This young man has good cooking skills and is a promising talent."
When Deputy Monitor Jiang heard that Lin Yi was going to make braised fish, he just wanted to laugh out loud, but the scene in front of him shocked him.
Lin Yi first heated a pot and heated oil, then pinched the fish and cut it with a knife.
When he saw Lin Yi holding the fish, he didn't feel unfamiliar at all, especially when his movements were so smooth that it almost seemed like the fish was growing on his palm. He thought to himself: "Oh no, I didn't expect him to be there."
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, just by the action of catching fish, you can tell that his cooking skills are far superior to those in the cooking class."
It is said that an expert can see the door, while an outsider can see the excitement.
Senior chefs in the cooking class can tell Lin Yi's awesomeness at a glance, while someone like Xiao Li, who adds too much salt to his tomato scrambled eggs, doesn't notice anything at all.
He could only see Lin Yi holding a knife and making cuts on the fish, but seeing the contented expression on Lin Yi's face, he knew that Lin Yi would definitely not let him down.
"Assistant Lin, come on."
After Xiao Li shouted these words, he once again attracted everyone's attention. Lin Yi made a thumbs up gesture while changing the knife.
Heat oil in a pan, add fish and start frying.
Because Lin Yi cooks a large pot of rice, he puts more than one fish in, which will double the difficulty. But even so, Lin Yi can still ensure that the skin of each fish will not be burnt.
Especially when the surface of all the fish is fried to a golden brown, the aroma will come out in a flash.
Just because of the appearance and taste, Deputy Squad Leader Jiang's heart skipped a beat again. It seemed that this time it would probably capsize in the gutter.
But he really didn't understand why Lin Yi, a young man who was only 22 years old, had such strong cooking skills. In terms of his cooking skills, he might not even be able to compare with Squad Leader Chen.
After smelling the aroma, Deputy Brigadier Meng gave Lin Yi a thumbs up, "You have a solid foundation and your cooking skills are quite good."
Lin Yi is not proud. He knows that this cooking skill is completely given by the system. If he wants to truly rely on his own ability to make this kind of food, he may not be able to do it for ten or eight years.
Then take out the fish, leave the bottom oil in the pot and sauté the onions, ginger, and garlic, then add water, star anise, soy sauce, sugar and other ingredients to make a sauce. Finally, add the fried fish, let the sauce cover the fish body, and cook until the flavor is absorbed.
The pot braised fish is finished.
It's almost time for dinner.
Battalion commanders, instructors and other battalion-level leaders also filed in, filling the cooking class to the brim.
Especially when the battalion commander and instructor saw Deputy Brigadier Meng personally cooking boiled fish, their noses twitched when they smelled it.
But as they smelled it, they suddenly smelled another fragrance. When they looked carefully, they found that it was braised fish.
The people in the cooking class are not capable of making the braised fish so fragrant, so it can only be the work of Deputy Brigadier Meng.
The battalion commander smiled and said: "Deputy Brigadier Meng, thank you for your hard work. You are here and you also cooked for our battalion. You not only made boiled fish, but also braised fish. How can we thank you for this?"
.”
Deputy Brigadier Meng waved his hand, "I made the boiled fish, but not the braised fish. Come and try it, and then guess who made it."
When the battalion commander heard this, he was also stunned, "Didn't you make this braised fish? No way, I have been the battalion commander for so many years, and I have learned all the cooking skills. They can't make such a good one."
Braised fish.”
"Deputy Brigadier Meng, I am your old subordinate. I followed you eight years ago when I was the deputy company commander. Please don't fool me!"
