"Don't just look at it and talk. Put it in the wooden tray over there. Don't let it melt later. It is not easy to form cold fresh meat in such a short period of time. If it is slightly frozen, once it is cut, it will become the taste of watery meat."
Zhang Xiaobao did not stop moving his hands and instructed Wang Juan, who was standing at the side and watching without helping.
Wang Juan had been admiring Zhang Xiaobao's knife skills. It looked very ordinary. He just made a cut and then lifted the knife. What was different was that the meat was rolled up instead of in pieces. It was obvious that he had added other movements when he was cutting. There was a hidden force. After all, cutting by hand was not like a meat slicer.
Hearing Zhang Xiaobao's dissatisfied voice, she smiled and quickly went to get the wooden tray in the ice. She did not forget to put a few pieces of ice around it.
After putting it on the tray, Wang Juan looked at the meat roll and praised, "The meat is so good. It is actually a small circle of white meat. It is almost like lamb."
"There is fat. Otherwise, why does it need to be frozen? Otherwise, the fat can't be cut so thin and stick to the knife. Unless I let the knife and the meat be at the same temperature and put a layer of other oil on it. Of course, a special knife can also be used, but we don't have that technology. It would be better if we have cold forged knives. "
Zhang Xiaobao took another piece of meat and sighed as he cut.
Wang Juan did not say anything. The technology was several generations behind. If there was cold forging technology, the first knife made would not be a kitchen knife, but a scalpel. Also, the cutting knives and kitchen knives of the lathe were luxurious enough to use cold forging technology.
"Seymour Domo is staying for dinner. Should we entertain him?" Wang Juan thought of another thing.
"Entertain him. Just entertain him. He will eat hotpot with us. The people he brought will eat with others. It is a matter of etiquette. But we don't need to talk to him about serious matters. We don't even need to talk."
Zhang Xiaobao suddenly stopped and looked at the meat. "It was actually injured. This piece has to be cut out. We don't want this part of the meat."
The knife in Zhang Xiaobao's hand moved back a distance. He wanted to cut down and take a look. He shook his head and continued to move back. This time, he finally let go of the tangled piece of venison.
Wang Juan took it and looked at it. She rolled her eyes a few times and said, "He must have hit a hard rock or something and then stabbed himself. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a scar in this place. It's not easy to live after all."
"I think it's good to be alive. If it's really too easy, don't you think life will be boring? There's still so much meat waiting to be cut. Now I know why it was so expensive to cut meat by hand. "
Zhang Xiaobao's movements were not slow, but the meat was too thin, and it required a lot of strength from his wrist. When he exerted force downwards, he had to cut, not press. Otherwise, the meat below would be a little deformed. Then, when the knife went down, it would either be thin or thick, and there would even be a situation where half of the meat was cut.
Taking the sharpening stick, Zhang Xiaobao rubbed the knife against it twice and continued to work hard. "I will never cut meat for them like this again. It's so torturous."
"The knife will be blunt after two cuts?" Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao always using the sharpening stick to scrape the knife. Until now, she still didn't understand why, because she didn't need to use that thing when cooking.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head lightly. "It's scraping the edge of the knife. The oil on the knife is scraped off. The knife is fine. How about this? Prepare a basin of hot water and a basin of cold water. I will first put the knife in the hot water, then use a towel to wipe it. After wiping it, put it in the cold water, then use another towel to wipe it. This way, there's no need to use the sharpening stick.
Use the hot water to get rid of the oil, and use the cold water to lower the temperature of the knife. Every industry is not easy. Eating, it seems to be the simplest, but also the most complicated. "
"Then why is it so expensive to cut meat by hand? Is it because of manual labor? "Wang Juan asked suggestively.
"Because, you can't tell the quality of the meat when it's cut by a machine. The texture will be messy. If you ask, people will say that it's the machine. But when it's cut by hand, the texture will be there. No chef will cut the meat for you under the condition of destroying the texture of the meat. Otherwise, this chef won't be qualified.
In this way, you can eat with ease. You can eat whatever meat you want. You don't have to worry about the mutton oil added to other meat. The popularity of hand-cut meat is because of the quality of the meat.
The price of meat is cheap. Everyone can't buy good meat. The main reason is that in restaurants, it's a case of bad money driving out good money. But with hand-cut meat, everyone will choose this kind of meat in order to eat better. Thus, there's also the saying of good money driving out bad money.
The main reason is that eating is different from other things. Everyone knows that illness comes from the mouth. Moreover, when eating in restaurants, naturally, they won't care about the difference in price. Thus, the slightly more expensive hand-cut meat is more popular than the machine-cut meat that you don't know what kind of meat it is. "
Zhang Xiaobao shook his left hand as he spoke. He had been using this hand to press the meat. It was cold. His fingers were numb from the cold.
Wang Juan nodded in understanding. She knew about this matter. Chinese people were really smart. Not only were foreigners afraid, but Chinese people were also afraid. If it was Chinese people, they could sell a pound of mutton that cost 70 RMB for 20 RMB, just like how mutton that cost 30 RMB was sold for 10 RMB more than 100 years ago.
Let's not talk about the specifics first. Just talk about the similar taste and how low the cost of the food was.
Thus, Chinese people were afraid. Generally, they would go to Muslim to buy beef and mutton and cut it themselves at home. It was very ironic. They were religious people who should be restrained and rejected, but they had no choice but to go to other people's places to buy things because no one dared to sell fake meat in that place. That was ethnic conflict, and people would die.
Selling things to foreign countries, in terms of the same quality, was still very cheap. What made the foreign industry even more afraid was that China's exports were much lower in quality, but the price was much lower.
Yes, the quality was indeed not very good, but the price was cheap. If it was a car, quality was very important. But what quality did disposable tableware need? It was thrown away after eating.
"Are we Chinese people really the scourge of this planet?" Wang Juan found it funny and asked.
"China is the scourge of the entire universe, so let the Chinese people rule this planet first, and then scourge the universe. The others can't do at all and can only suffer losses. The people of this deer are really good. The meat is delicate. If you look at it under the setting sun, it's like the texture of a cloth. "
Zhang Xiaobao pinched a piece of meat and looked at it under the light.
Wang Juan came over to take a look and nodded. "It's really good. It exercises all year round, and it's different from other animals. It's especially better than wild boar meat. The fiber is not so thick, but it's a pity that there's no marbling. If you didn't deliberately let people put some fat, you wouldn't even see a bit of white when you cut it."
"Marbling, it's nothing more than the ratio of protein to fat. That's other people's rules, not our Chinese rules. If you take 5 A beef, other than making steak, can you stir-fry it and eat it? If you cut it along the texture, you'll separate the fat from the thin. If you don't and cut it horizontally, then fine, let's not eat the shredded meat. Eat the foam, it will break.
It's a matter of eating habits. It's not always good when others say it's good, unless it's specially sold to them. It's like eating fish and crabs. Do people in England eat crabs? Do people in America eat carp? There are a lot of thorns.
But in China, if you have wild crabs and carp, they're very expensive. The English think it's hard to eat crabs. Lobsters are all peeled by the chef. We don't need it, we have special tools to eat it. There are eight pieces of crabs, it's very delicious.
And carp, of course, people in America don't eat it. It's very earthy, and there are too many thorns. Why? Because the way they eat it is simple. Children in China know to spit out the thorns when they eat fish from a young age. They don't wait for their parents to remove the thorns and fry the fish with breadcrumbs.
Many people are sad. They only say that the food in America is good. Western food, in fact, I don't like to eat this. I'd rather cook it myself. It's not that other people's food is bad. People always eat it, but I'm not used to it.
It's too nutritious. I don't need so much nutrition. When you're like me, you eat lean meat. I don't need marbled fat. What I care about is explosive strength, not fitness. I don't need so many special muscles on my body. Okay, it's not easy to eat. "
By the time Xiaobao finished speaking, he had finally finished cutting the meat. His two hands were swinging vigorously. In just a short while, he had cut more than 40 jin of meat. Moreover, it was a high standard thickness. The knife was only now showing its age. It was not as good as the cold forged knife. The difference was too big.
Wang Juan was also not idle. In fact, there were not many meat rolls on a tray. Zhang Xiaobao cut them quickly, like magic. When you looked at him, he cut them again and again. But if you counted according to his movements, you would find that he was very fast when he counted the numbers. It was a visual error. It was the same as when the wheels of a car turned very fast in one direction, and then you saw it turn back very slowly.
After placing the last meat roll on the tenth tray, Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao and smiled: "Dear, what I admire most about you is your love and support for our Chinese tradition. I will not say whether you are right or wrong. I only want to say that your persistence is not something that all Chinese people have.
Just like what we had discussed before, many people who went overseas said that China was not democratic and developed slowly. The quality of the people was not as good as them overseas. However, he had never considered that if China was suddenly gone, would his status as a Chinese be affected in the outside world?
Why are they so nice to him? It's because this country that he looked down on has nuclear weapons, high GDP, and influence over other countries. Does he really think that he is powerful? Does he think that he is Qian Xuesen? "
"Yes, yes, as I said, they are far inferior to the Yutans. Without Israel, the Yutans are rootless duckweeds, so the Yutans outside will defend Israel. They are a nail in the religious community of the country we are attacking now. I won't say whether they are right or wrong, I only admire their spirit. Let's go, you can take two. I don't have enough hands. Are you still my wife?"
Are you not my wife? "Zhang Xiaobao started to design trays. There were 10 trays, and he must find a way to carry one trays. He will carry one trays, carry one in each hand, place one on his arm axle and one on his shoulder. That will be 7 trays, and he still has 3 trays left.
But Wang Juan had her hands behind her back and was looking at him with her feminine eyes. She did not help him.
"Carry one and carry two. If you don't work, I will divorce you and divorce you."
"I am scared to death. Dear, do we need a marriage certificate before getting a divorce? Take it out and let this concubine take a look. "Wang Juan helped Zhang Xiaobao adjust the tray on his head and said with a smile like a flower.
