第 6 章(1 / 2)

“你蒸馒头的方法不对啊!”苏紫萍耐心地解释道:“我看了你醒的馒头,个头合适,怎么蒸完后馒头皮就抽巴巴的?你没想过这个问题吗?”“蒸馒头都是这样,别不懂装懂!”米四不耐烦地摆摆手:“我蒸过的馒头比你吃的盐都多,你一个黄毛丫头知道什么?”苏紫萍站起身,认真道:“你说你蒸了这么多年馒头都是皱巴巴的,说明你一直都用错了方法,为什么不能用我的法子一试呢?”“你当白面大风刮来的?”米四最讨厌别人指指点点,拧着眉质问:“且不说浪不浪费钱,耽误了这一锅馒头,让客人喝西北风去吗?”旁边的伙计见两人谁也不让步,出面解围道:“小姐,菜将军蒸了多少年的馒头了,肯定不会出错,您就听他的吧。”“就是,我们多少年都是这么蒸的。”“您就听菜将军的吧!”眼看着火越来越小,苏紫萍急得团团转,别人不相信她她能理解,毕竟她一个十七岁的闺阁女子,在别人看来从未进过厨房,没有任何烹饪经验。可是只有她自己知道不是这样。前世做社畜的时候,最大的爱好就是烹饪,曾自掏腰包去新东方厨师技校进修过,还获得过高级厨师证,也曾做过五星级酒店的专业试吃员,于厨艺和品味一道,颇有研究,更何况小小的蒸馒头。这话她跟办法跟人讲。伙计们还在劝,许是动静太大,没几分钟,苏河政就踱着方步走了进来。见厨房的伙计们都围着米四和苏紫萍,不由讶异道:“怎么了这是?”米四见东家来了,也不废话了,直接将头上的帽子一扯,愤愤不平道:“苏老爷,你们家大小姐,就是来添乱的,老给唱反调,再这样下去,我这个主厨没法当了!”语气要多愤慨有多愤慨,好像苏紫萍给他惹了天大的麻烦似的。苏紫萍不慌不忙,向苏河政解释蒸馒头的正确方法,“一定要用大火让馒头快速膨胀开,要不然馒头不软不白不香,皱巴巴的不好看也不好吃。”“你那火大的,都快把厨房烧了,咱们蒸馒头多少年也没用过这样大的火!”米四不服气地争辩。苏河政见女儿冷静理智,讲得头头是道,不禁好奇地问:“萍儿,你未曾下过厨房,从哪里得知蒸馒头的手法?”苏紫萍卡了一下壳,眼珠轻轻一转,随即镇定自若道:“爹,前些天我决心来酒楼帮工,特地让霜儿去帮我买了一些精进厨艺的书籍,这段时间日夜苦读,记下了不少偏方。”“偏方?偏方都是纸上谈兵!”米四叉着腰,振振有辞:“要是看书就能做厨子,大街上人人都是厨师了!”苏紫萍不欲再吵,只是坚定地看着苏河政,“爹,且用女儿的方法试试,一试便知。”苏河政见女儿游刃有余不似作假,沉吟道:“那便试试。”米四犹不服气:“如果馒头还是皱巴呢?”苏紫萍坦然道:“那我就走人,不给你添堵!”米四一口答应,“行!苏老爷做个见证,咱们一言为定!”苏河政正愁找不到借口把闺女打发回家呢,见闺女自个儿放出了狠话,二话不说同意了做这个见证人。他内心还是偏向米四的,毕竟是自己花大价钱雇佣的厨师,而且厨师一门,讲究的便是代代传承的经验。米四没说错,如果看书就能成为厨师,厨师也就不值钱了。苏紫萍见到底没人信她,问道:“若是不皱巴呢?”米四拍着胸脯,眼底却满是嘲讽:“我主厨的位置给你做,今后我来给你打下手!”“好!”苏紫萍再一次挽起袖子,干脆利落地往柴火旁一坐,大开大合地拉风箱。一时间柴火声噼里啪啦响,火苗蹿得更高了。接下来无人打扰苏紫萍。大家各干各事,又都时不时往她这边看两眼,只有苏河政和米四站在苏紫萍身后,静静看着苏紫萍蒸馒头。苏河政越看越惊讶。还别说,不管馒头能不能蒸成功,女儿干活的样子真像那么回事。在此之前,他一直以为女儿只是一时兴起,知道酒楼的事情不好干,自然也就回家了,现在看来,倒跟预想中大不相同——不怕苦不怕脏,即使被烟雾烤得脸黑手黑,也没见女儿抱怨一句。就是性子太倔,怕是铁了心要供那个小乞丐读书。一时间,苏河政对顾南言的偏见更大了。乞丐也能考功名,不是痴心妄想吗!照他的想法,顾南言哪哪都配不上自家的宝贝女儿,就该认清形势继续乞讨去,而不是在苏家蹭吃蹭喝!真是脸皮厚过天,就应该找个理由把他赶出去!没一会儿,软糯香甜的麦芽糖的气息顺着锅盖钻出来,整个厨房都能闻到浓郁的香气,伙计们三三两两地走过来,就连门外的大黄狗,狗链子扯得哗哗作响,撒着欢地想进来。“好浓郁的香气!”“馒头也可以这么香吗?”

伙计们在后面窃窃私语。苏河政有些惊讶,看向女儿的眼神满是疑惑。莫非看书真能做厨子?米四也有点乱了方寸,不管他相不相信,四溢的香气是他闻所未闻的。多年大厨的经验告诉他,苏紫萍很可能是对的。仍然强装淡定,假装不屑地撇开头去。感觉差不多了,苏紫萍不再添柴,用火钳将烧得旺的柴火夹出来,任由火势慢慢熄灭。“萍儿,为何还不掀锅盖?”苏河政隐隐有些迫不及待。“再等两分钟。”苏紫萍抹了一把额间的汗,解释道:“现在掀盖,馒头会受冷皱缩,需要等待蒸汽完全下去。”

有时候工序比食材本身重要。同样的食材,同样的调料,有的人做出来难吃,有的人做出来好吃,这就是工序的重要性了。直到蒸汽慢慢散干净,苏紫萍拿了一块干净的抹布,小心翼翼地握住锅盖把手,轻轻一抬,麦芽糖的甜香便如潮水一般铺天盖地涌上来。

沁人心脾,令人垂涎三尺。

后面惊叹声此起彼伏,米四的脸已经挂不住了。那些馒头,一个个跟年画娃娃的大胖脸似的,圆润滚滚,白白嫩嫩,松软到揉扁搓圆都能即时反弹回来。他蒸出来那些干枯泛黄的馒头完全没法与之相比。

闻起来都欲罢不能,更何况吃了。苏河政用筷子夹了个大馒头,耐着热气迫不及待一掰两半,露出来的部分白气蒸腾,面粉甜软,看上去更有食欲了。身后隐隐传来伙计们咽口水的声音。

苏河政将其中一半塞到米四手里,热情邀请道:“菜将军,趁热吃,尝尝我闺女的手艺。”
