Chapter 004 Master-Level Vegetable Washing

Recalling the magical scene of washing the meat just now, Zhou Dong is now filled with anticipation. How will the master-level vegetable washing upgrade turn out? I wonder if it can wash the Huadong white pig to have the flavor of organic black pig.

This is indeed the authentic Huadong White Pig! Chen Leizi's business is becoming increasingly genuine!

After decades of dealing with pork, even if he is fifty meters away, Dad Zhou can tell by smell whether the meat has been properly washed or not

The son has indeed learned how to wash meat from him, but it has been nearly six months since he last did it himself, and he is genuinely concerned that the boy might accidentally ruin the meat while washing it

How long has it been since I felt this calm? Washing vegetables seems to be very helpful for my condition, even more effective than taking medicine! ... Unfortunately, there are no more vegetables at home to wash ...

In just over ten minutes, he had thoroughly cleaned a full ten blocks of thirty pounds of Huadong white pork. Looking at the nearly flawless pork, Zhou Dong felt a sense of satisfaction, and his heart was filled with tranquility

Although Zhou's father's method of washing meat is already very skillful, it is still essentially a form of 'blind washing'. With the support of 'master-level vegetable washing', Zhou Dong at this moment is simply like a 'Bian Que in the kitchen'

The master-level vegetable washing not only allows him to observe the issues within the vegetables, but also endows his hands with a magical power. It is impossible for an ordinary person to remove moisture and blood clots from meat with just a few slaps, yet he can accomplish this with great ease

Father, just you wait and see!

Hmm?

Zhou Ba called out from a distance to remind his eldest son. Others may not pay much attention, but he understands the importance of washing vegetables. Although it is the same high-quality Huadong white pig, why is it that he can create delicious braised pork while it loses some of its meat fragrance in the hands of an ordinary person

The technique is not wrong; it is his offspring! There are even new and varied aspects that he cannot quite see clearly. However, based on years of experience in managing pork, it can be judged that the old man's technique should be sound

Zhou Dong blinked his eyes and said nothing

While the timing and ingredients are certainly crucial, washing the meat is the first step

Zhou Dong, after all, comes from a well-educated family. He picked up the meat and took a look, nodding repeatedly. The meat was a pinkish color, with fat not exceeding 40%, and the lean meat had fine fibers. It was indeed high-quality pork. Pork of this quality, when prepared as braised pork, would truly be rich without being greasy, and lean without being tough.

Chunks of pork belly were thrown into the meat basin, and the faucet was first turned on to let the water run for half a minute, allowing the rust and odor to dissipate before filling the meat basin. At the same time, both hands stirred the water surface in a clockwise direction, causing the pieces of pork to float and rotate in the basin for a few rounds, after which he quickly scooped them out and then mixed in warm water to begin washing.

As Zhou Dong's hand touched the pork, countless images flooded his mind, including chopping, kneading, flipping, patting, twisting, and smoothing... Various techniques came rushing in, even more comprehensive than what his father had taught him

While others often rely on rich sauces and strong flavors for their braised pork, the Zhou family places great emphasis on the original taste of the meat, thus requiring greater attention to the process of washing the meat

The most fundamental task in cooking is washing vegetables, yet in modern times, it has been overlooked by many people

Ding! Earn the admiration of your loved ones and receive a basic treasure chest.

The chef class at Qingxiang Technical School also does not teach washing vegetables. The proud 'Comrade Lao He' believes that their students should become masters at the stove, and what success can one expect from constantly lingering by the vegetable washing sink?

The treasure chest may contain energy potions, basic skill books, skill points, and popular recipes ... ... Do you wish to open it? '' The voice remains a cold, mechanical tone, devoid of any emotion

Everything is revealed in its minutest detail

When his hand made contact with the pork, Zhou Dong suddenly experienced a transformation in his vision, directly perceiving the internal structure of the pork: the epidermis, dermis, superficial fascia, muscle, fat ... ...

The system interface appears before me, and the master-level vegetable washing experience has changed to 30 / 3000. It seems that washing one pound of vegetables grants one experience point

Perfect

If the meat is washed too much, some of its flavor will be lost; if it is washed too little, the unique odor of pork will remain.

Oh ... ...

Energy potions and skill books? They sound quite good, Zhou Dong nodded and said: "Activate!"

Be careful, if you ruin the meat, I won't let you off easily

Father Zhou patted his eldest son's shoulder firmly and said, "Keep up the good work, my boy"

Not bad, your level is almost catching up to mine!

"Well done, kid. It's been half a year since you last practiced, and you can still maintain this level of skill?"

Which area is cleaner and fresher, which area has moisture intrusion, and which area has residual blood that has yet to be expelled

Zhou Ba put down his chopsticks and looked at his eldest son with some confusion

This ridiculous system's first novice gift package actually contains "Master-level Vegetable Washing". If it weren't for a bit of curiosity, Zhou Dong would have probably been infuriated to the point of losing his mind. Isn't this system looking down on people? I am at least a top student from Qingxiang who has studied culinary skills for three years, and this is the only skill I get?

It is not surprising to think about it; the modern kitchen has a very detailed division of labor. Roughly speaking, there are areas such as 'stove', 'plating', 'service', 'cutting board', and 'washing station', among others. The head chef in the kitchen does not even handle the preparation of ingredients, so would they personally wash the vegetables?

There are still too few vegetables that can be washed at home. My father is a stubborn philosopher, and the rule of selling one hundred pieces of meat a day is absolutely unchangeable. Fortunately, I will report to Jiuzhou Dingshi the day after tomorrow. With such a large food group, there should be many vegetables that can be washed

After discovering that washing vegetables can bring him joy and alleviate his condition, Zhou Dong began to look forward to becoming a happy vegetable washer soon

The divine physician Bian Que once said, "When illness resides in the pores, it can be reached by hot compresses; when it is in the skin, it can be addressed by acupuncture and stones; when it is in the intestines and stomach, it can be treated with fire; when it is in the bone marrow, it is under the control of fate, and there is nothing that can be done. Now that it is in the bone marrow, I therefore make no request."

With his years of experience in handling pork, he can be certain at a glance that his son has done exceptionally well, even surpassing him

Due to Zhou Ba's philosopher-like persistence, the amount of pork that needs to be cleaned daily is not substantial. Although the pork belly from the Zhou family is thick, each piece weighs only about 150 grams. To prepare a hundred pieces of pork belly, only a little over 15 kilograms of pork is required. The pork seller, Chen Tui, is aware of the width of the Zhou family's pork belly and has already processed it into pieces weighing 1.5 kilograms each. After cleaning, it can be easily divided into ten portions.

The kelp and vegetables had long been washed by Zhou's mother, who was concerned for her son. The bean products did not require much cleaning. Looking at the thoroughly washed pork, Zhou Dong felt a deep sense of regret and really wanted to wash the vegetables again after his mother had done so. However, he ultimately restrained himself, as it would be a big problem if his parents thought he was unwell again

Like this divine physician, Zhou Dong's techniques could reach deep into the pork. With a gentle squeeze of his fingers, a concealed bruise beneath the skin was carefully expelled. He lifted a piece of pork and lightly patted it a few times, effectively removing all the invading moisture.

Father Zhou approached the meat platter, bent down to carefully sift through it, and occasionally lifted a piece of meat to sniff it.

I am looking forward to it

Can I really obtain the treasure this way? It seems that my father still has a lot of confidence in me; he must be saying this to prevent me from becoming arrogant
