Watching Xiao Chen enter the kitchen, the fatty did not sit down and wait for Xiao Chen's dishes to be served. Instead, he stood up curiously and stared at Xiao Chen with rapt attention.
Xiao Chen naturally noticed Fatty's gaze, but he didn't care. Only chefs who weren't confident in their cooking skills would refuse to show off their skills in front of customers. That would depend on whether he had the eyesight and foundation to observe.
Xiao Chen took out two peeled potatoes from the basin and grabbed the kitchen knife on the chopping board. His aura and spirit instantly changed. Xiao Chen didn't notice it, but Fatty, who was observing Xiao Chen through the glass, saw it clearly.
Before the fatty could be surprised by Xiao Chen's change in temperament, his eyes were attracted by Xiao Chen's knife technique. The big kitchen knife seemed weightless in Xiao Chen's hand, and it quickly moved through the potatoes that had been cut into two halves. The fatty even deliberately leaned close to the glass to observe. He found that the chopping board did not even move at all.
There was only one possibility. Xiao Chen's control of the knife's strength was close to perfection. When he cut the potatoes, the knife was pulled back the moment it passed through the potatoes and did not cut the chopping board.
What surprised Fatty even more was that the potatoes were still cut into two halves, as if they had not been processed at all. However, when Xiao Chen picked up the chopping board and poured it into the pot that had been prepared, Fatty saw the slender potato shreds roll into the pot and float in the water.
Although they weren't as thin as a strand of hair, according to Fatty's observation, the thickness of these shredded potatoes was the same. He knew that it wasn't that Xiao Chen couldn't cut them into the thickness of a strand of hair, but he just didn't want to. After all, if he really cut them so thin, the fried shredded potatoes wouldn't have the crispy and refreshing taste.
Just his knife skills and his grasp of strength had raised Fatty's expectations of Xiao Chen's cooking skills and dishes to the highest point. After all, a chef valued basic skills the most. A chef with solid basic skills would definitely not be a hooligan who only knew how to cook family dishes.
Just as he was admiring Xiao Chen's knife skills, Xiao Chen didn't stay idle either. He shredded the chilies, turned on the stove, and heated the oil in the pot. When the oil temperature rose, he took out all the potato shreds soaked in water and poured them into the pot. He also sprinkled the green pepper shreds that had already been cut. At the same time, he stir-fried the pot with one hand, and with the other hand, he took out the appropriate amount from the clay pot filled with various seasonings and sprinkled it into the pot. Finally, he added a spoonful of aged vinegar and sprinkled it into the pot. At the same time, a ball of flame rolled up from under the stove as the aged vinegar entered the pot!
The fire from the stir-frying engulfed the entire pot. Fatty, who was standing outside the kitchen glass, could only see that Xiao Chen's pot was wrapped in flames. It was as if Xiao Chen wasn't frying shredded potatoes, but a ball of fire. Before he could enjoy it, the fire dissipated, and Xiao Chen put the finished shredded potatoes into a plate.
"Are you planning to eat together or try some shredded potatoes to fill your stomach first?”Xiao Chen asked Fatty through the glass. The glass was not thick, so his voice could naturally be heard.
"Let's wait. There's no hurry." Fatty smiled as he looked at the sour and spicy shredded potatoes on the stove and swallowed his saliva.
Xiao Chen nodded. Then, he took a portion of half-cooked pork belly from the side of the table and put it aside. He changed to a new pot, added oil, stir-fried star anise, and then poured in white sugar to stir-fry the sugar color.
It looked like an ordinary way of cooking Red Braised Meat, but Fatty noticed something different. However, Xiao Chen's technique was too familiar and his movements were too fast. He didn't see it clearly. He only saw that Xiao Chen had added some seasoning to the sugar color.
The following cooking method did not deviate from the traditional cooking method of red braised pork. At most, Xiao Chen's movements were smooth and skilled, but there was not much outstanding about it.
When Xiao Chen brought a plate of shredded potatoes and a plate of braised pork to the table, Fatty looked at Xiao Chen and said,""Just two dishes?"
"You won't be able to finish it even if it's too much. I can't waste it in my shop. Otherwise, I'll blacklist you and refuse to serve you from now on.”Xiao Chen put down his plate, scooped another bowl, and handed it to Fatty.
"This amount is enough for an ordinary person, but look at my size. I'm afraid it's not enough. You can do whatever you want. I still have so many people here.”The fat man patted his belly and said to Xiao Chen.
"I thought of a new rule. Everyone can only have two dishes at most for each meal.”Xiao Chen yawned as he spoke. He was quite satisfied with this new rule. At least he didn't have to explain too much.
"F * ck, is this rule an excuse to slack off?”Fatty rolled his eyes when he heard Xiao Chen's words. He clearly hated the trouble of giving him an excuse to slack off, yet he had to make it sound so dignified.
"I opened the shop and made the dishes. Why can't I set the rules?”Xiao Chen frowned and asked the fatty arrogantly.
