Chapter 327: Midnight Training
"You." Ms. Zhou said helplessly. Apart from these two words, she really didn't know how to describe this big-hearted girl.
Let's not talk about the precautions between men and women. It is not safe for a girl to go out at home so late.
This girl also has to train her cooking skills with two cooks in the backyard.
Zhou became angry after hearing this, and at her insistence, she and Zhixia stayed at the hospital to accompany Gu Xiaoyou.
So there was a threesome in the middle of the night.
Gu Xiaoyou smiled coquettishly and saw the bright light in the backyard of the restaurant. He quickly pointed to the yard and said, "The lights are on. Master Wu and Master Tang must be up. Let's go there quickly."
"Okay." Mrs. Zhou sighed and walked over quickly.
The three people quickly arrived at the door of the backyard. Gu Xiaoyou raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Good evening, masters, I'm here."
"You're here, please come in quickly." Master Wu responded immediately and quickly opened the courtyard door.
The three people walked into the courtyard gate. In addition to the two cooks, there were also two women in the courtyard.
"Who are these two?" Gu Xiaoyou asked curiously. It seems that she didn't recruit a cook.
"This is my wife." Master Wu introduced a woman with delicate features and a pink headscarf.
Master Tang gently touched the arm of a kind-faced woman and said, "My wife."
"Hello, sisters-in-law." Gu Xiaoyou greeted politely.
"We came here to clean up their room, so we won't disturb you." Mrs. Wu felt blessed and explained with a smile.
"Yes, we will clean up the yard and you will be busy." Mrs. Tang said with a smile.
"Thank you." Gu Xiaoyou cupped his hands.
The two ladies covered their mouths and smiled. This was the first time they saw a girl bow like a scholar.
"Are these two..." the cooks asked.
"Oh, this is my maid, and this is my sister." Gu Xiaoyou introduced: "They are here to join in the fun and want to taste the freshly baked roast chicken and duck."
Gu Xiaoyou did not tell the true purpose of Zhou and Zhixia's companionship. In fact, when she saw the two ladies, she understood immediately. It is estimated that the two ladies have the same role as hers, they are both tools for the defense of men and women.
That's fine, there are so many people and it's so lively.
Gu Xiaoyou shrugged: "It's almost time, let's take the little rooster out of the ice cellar first."
"We'll just go down there." Master Wu said, asking Master Tang to carry a lantern and go to the ice cellar to get ingredients.
"Then I'll trouble you." Gu Xiaoyou ordered.
"Okay, boss." Master Tang responded, and the two cooks quickly fetched things from the ice cellar.
Gu Xiaoyou walked over and held one of the pots in his hands: "Let's go to the kitchen, the little rooster needs to be coated and marinated."
"Okay." The two cooks responded and hurriedly followed Gu Xiaoyou to the kitchen.
"Miss, please come and get it." Zhixia took the wooden basin from Gu Xiaoyou's hand and went into the back kitchen first.
"I'll light the candles." Zhou said positively.
Gu Xiaoyou spread his hands, it looked like he was going to be closely watched by the two of them tonight.
But it’s easy to have help. Gu Xiaoyoule walked into the kitchen in a leisurely manner with his hands behind his back.
In the kitchen, Gu Xiaoyou first taught them how to prepare fake oil, then added soy sauce and pepper according to the proportion, and marinated the little rooster again.
Gu Xiaoyou covered it with cotton cloth and sighed: "In this case, the little rooster still needs to be marinated for three hours, which means we have to get up at midnight to roast the chicken."
"I'm so sorry. My grasp of time is terrible. I'd better ask two masters to calculate the time in the future. I really can't grasp the time well." Gu Xiaoyou said apologetically.
She is so bad that she can't tell the time even if she leaves her mobile phone, causing everyone to wander from morning to night.
"It's okay, the boss doesn't mind." Master Wu comforted him.
"When we learn how to do it, we will calculate the time properly." Master Tang agreed.
Gu Xiaoyou smiled: "Thank you two masters, I have to put the little cock back again."
"Okay, let's go put it in right now." The two cooks said and quickly took away the wooden basin containing the rooster and walked towards the backyard.
As soon as they left, Gu Xiaoyou quietly looked at the time on his phone. It happened to be the time when the duck was ready to dry.
"Hey, I can't control the time well, but I still know the time very accurately." Gu Xiaoyou muttered.
Zhou, who was cleaning the kitchen utensils they used with Zhixia, asked, "What did you say?"
"It's okay, Sister Zhou, please stop doing this and don't use cold water at night." Gu Xiaoyou advised.
Zhou retorted: "The hot water we boil is not like the cold water you use..."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Gu Xiaoyou quickly apologized before Zhou could finish nagging.
"Oh, I have to prepare the next thing." Gu Xiaoyou changed the subject and wandered around the kitchen.
Zhou shook her head helplessly and continued to clean the kitchen utensils with Zhixia.
Not long after, the two cooks came back. Gu Xiaoyou had already prepared the ingredients and put the dried duck on the chopping board.
"Now let's start cooking the roast duck."
The two cooks nodded and came to the chopping board to listen to the lesson.
Gu Xiaoyou picked up the washed oranges and apples: "Pick three apples and one orange, and stuff them into the duck's belly."
The cooks followed the instructions, and then followed Gu Xiaoyou to learn how to hang the iron hook on the duck's bill without damaging the duck meat.
"The duck can be sent to the oven now." Gu Xiaoyou checked the techniques of the two cooks and said.
"Yes." The cooks' eyes were shining with excitement, as they finally came to the part they were most looking forward to.
So the three people carried the duck to the backyard.
Although the light in the backyard was bright enough, in order to ensure that the two cooks could see clearly, Gu Xiaoyou still asked Zhixia to light it for her.
"Zhixia, help me illuminate it." Gu Xiaoyou ordered.
"Yes, Miss." Zhixia immediately held a lantern and came to Gu Xiaoyou's side.
"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou slowed down and explained step by step: "First put up the iron rack in the oven, and then hang the duck on it. Be sure to confirm the firmness of the iron rack."
Gu Xiaoyou shook the iron frame: "It's fine like this, do you see clearly?"
"See clearly.
The two cooks nodded.
"Then Master Wu will hang it first." Although at least six roast ducks can be hung in one oven, Gu Xiaoyou still asked the two masters to operate the new oven alone.
After rehearsing three times and confirming that the two chefs had mastered the skill of hanging ducks, Gu Xiaoyou closed the oven door and turned on the stove: "Now is the key, to master the heat."
With that said, Gu Xiaoyou lit the stove, and the fire slowly rose.
Chapter completed!
