Chapter 328: Accidentally found the fire foreman
"Yes." The cooks nodded and carefully inspected the fire in the stove.
"The time for barbecue is four cups of tea. Sister Zhou, help me watch the fire." Gu Xiaoyou ordered, turning to look at the two cooks: "Now the two chefs will light the fire, or one by one."
"I'll do it first," Master Wu said, sitting in front of the oven where he put the duck, and quickly lit the stove fire.
"Add some more firewood, it's good, that's it." Gu Xiaoyou gave a few instructions and then went to instruct Master Tang.
Master Wu got started quickly, but Master Tang was a little behind. The fire in the stove was getting bigger and smaller, and it was about to go out.
"Add more firewood, yes, put in a few more pieces, and quickly fan yourself with a cattail fan." Gu Xiaoyou anxiously instructed. This soup chef has good control over the heat of cooking. Why is the fire in the barbecue box so bad?
Master Tang was busy trying to remedy the situation, and Gu Xiaoyou could see the veins on her forehead popping out, and she could hardly suppress her little temper.
Before Gu Xiaoyou could explode, Master Tang's wife couldn't stand it anymore. She slapped Master Tang on the back vigorously and kicked him off the stove: "You idiot, I'll do it."
Mrs. Tang casually added some firewood and fiddled with the stove a few times with the stove hook. The fire came back to life and soon the wine started to burn.
Then Mrs. Tang fanned herself with a cattail leaf fan and calmly added a few pieces of firewood. The fire in the stove immediately reached the level required by Gu Xiaoyou.
"Wow, Sister-in-law Tang, you are so awesome." Gu Xiaoyou said with admiration, the fire was burning faster than her.
"I'm used to doing it at home." Mrs. Tang smiled, still looking at the fire in her hand.
Gu Xiaoyou raised his hand in admiration and said to Master Tang: "Study more with your wife."
Master Tang blushed and smiled sheepishly.
Gu Xiaoyou walked between the three ovens again and saw that the heat in the three ovens was well controlled, especially the oven that Mrs. Tang was looking after. The fire in the other two ovens was somewhat affected by the night wind and always needed to be remedied, and she
The fire in the stove burned steadily, and the fire was not affected by external forces at all.
"Your fire is so good. If you have nothing to do, you might as well come to my shop and become a fire master." Gu Xiaoyou said in amazement.
"This...can I do it?" Mrs. Tang said hesitantly.
Gu Xiaoyou was just sighing casually at first, but suddenly this idea was feasible, and the more he said it, the more excited he became: "If it works, you will be the foreman who cooks the fire. When the two chefs are in the kitchen, you will be responsible for teaching the other cooks how to control the heat."
"The foreman who started the fire?" Mrs. Tang was confused, obviously not understanding what the foreman meant.
"As for the head of the fire, the two masters are responsible for cooking. It is impossible to watch the fire all the time. Besides, the two of them can't see the six ovens. I will definitely hire a small worker who will make the fire. I originally wanted to train myself.
But after seeing your skills, I might as well ask you to be the leader of the fire." Gu Xiaoyou said quickly: "Don't worry, you won't do it in vain, I will give you the salary."
Mrs. Tang was a little hesitant at first, but when she heard that there was still wages, she was immediately moved: "Okay, then I will be the foreman of the fire."
"Madam, you are so cheerful. I will come and sign a contract with you tomorrow morning." Gu Xiaoyou said happily. He didn't expect to find a talent during the training in the middle of the night.
"Okay." Mrs. Tang was also very happy. She quickly sat back in front of the stove and watched the fire more carefully.
"I'll teach you the oven fire, and I'll teach the two masters the rest." Gu Xiaoyou warned.
"Okay, don't worry." Mrs. Tang immediately assumed the attitude of a foreman making a fire, and agreed readily.
With Mrs. Tang's assurance, Gu Xiaoyou took the two chefs back to the kitchen and taught them how to make lotus leaf cakes.
Mrs. Wu couldn't help but feel a little envious when she saw it. She also wanted to find some work, which could not only supplement the family income, but also be with Master Wu. How great.
So in the following training, Mrs. Wu always wanted to help.
But making lotus leaf cake is still very simple, and the two chefs got started quickly.
Gu Xiaoyou asked them to make lotus leaf cakes, and she would go to the yard from time to time to watch Mrs. Tang's fire management.
Mrs. Tang is really an expert at cooking fires. Not only does she control the heat of her oven very well, but she can also guide Zhixia and Zhou to control the heat with ease.
Gu Xiaoyou was completely relieved and continued to instruct the two cooks.
The two cooks were constantly counting the time. After the first wave of baking was completed, they didn't need Gu Xiaoyou to remind them. They pointed out that the time was up and asked her the next step.
Gu Xiaoyou put on insulation gloves and led them back to the backyard.
First take out the duck, wrap the legs and wings in oil paper, and then hang it back up.
Mrs. Wu originally wanted to give it a try, but was dissuaded by the hot gas.
Taking advantage of the time when the roast duck was roasting again, Gu Xiaoyou reviewed the content learned during the day for the two cooks, and the two cooks prepared two more ducks and two chickens.
Pickling it in the middle of the night can be done around noon, and Gu Xiaoyou is much better at timing than Gu Xiaoyou.
The two cooks have prepared new chickens and ducks, and the roast duck in the backyard is almost ready.
The three of them returned to the backyard, and there was already a faint fragrance in the yard.
"You are back. Is the duck ready?" Mrs. Tang's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to ask. She had been greedy for the fragrance for a long time.
"Well, the roast duck is ready." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.
"Take it out quickly." Mrs. Tang said positively: "I'll put out the stove fire right now."
"I'll take a look first, and then you turn it off." Gu Xiaoyou quickly stopped her. Mrs. Tang had a more impatient temper than she did.
"Please." Mrs. Tang said sheepishly.
Gu Xiaoyou held up a lantern and opened the oven door with heat-insulating gloves. The aroma in the yard instantly became stronger.
Mrs. Wu, who had just finished cleaning the kitchen utensils, and everyone in the yard, couldn't help but swallow.
"That's it." Gu Xiaoyou still guided her seriously, not forgetting her teaching responsibility.
"Yes." The two cooks looked carefully.
"You can turn off the heat now." Gu Xiaoyou ordered after checking the three ovens.
Mrs. Tang immediately went to put out the fire. She was more skillful in putting out the fire than starting a fire. Without waiting for Zhou and Zhixia to do anything, she put out all three stoves.
"Use this hook to take off the roast duck. Be careful not to poke other parts." Gu Xiaoyou taught carefully: "Use this holder to reach the hook on the duck's mouth."
The two cooks watched carefully and quickly took out the two ducks according to her method.
"Zhixia, go to the kitchen and get three large plates and three small forks and knives." Gu Xiaoyou ordered.
"I'll do it." Mrs. Wu said positively and quickly ran into the kitchen.
