Chapter 135: The Jury

The contestants in the audience did a hot job, and the judges on the other side also made a lot of noise.

"A few of you are silent, all send your apprentices to the competition, and be the master's judge to score, it's really shameful!" Xue Yi looked at He Jianmin and scolded disdainfully, not thinking that he still had an apprentice who was not a weapon scratching his ears and cheeks below.

He Jianmin: ......

If his son is willing to compete, can he still stop him?

"Old Mei, your apprentice is also down there, don't you say anything?" He Jianmin planned to pull another ally.

"I'm his brother. Mei Yuanbai replied indifferently.

"So what?"

"So he didn't dare to scold me, if he scolded me, I would beat him!" When Mei Yuanbai said this, the people behind him held back laughter.

Who doesn't know the relationship between Mei Yuanbai and Xue Yi, and wants to pull him to end up with Xue Yi, it is really only an upright person like He Jianmin who can do this.

"Senior brother, you still haven't changed at all!" Xue Yi couldn't help but shudder when he remembered the scene when he was taught a lesson by Mei Yuanbai.

"But when did you take in the apprentice? Didn't you say that you couldn't meet enlightened people?"

"Old Mei, which kid is so lucky to be able to get into your eyes?" Gu Pingping was also a little curious.

"Wu Ping. Mei Yuanbai glanced at the audience, looking at a young chef who looked extremely honest and honest, and smiled slightly, "I happened to meet him a few years ago, and I thought that my qualifications were good, so I accepted the closed disciple." ”

Except for He Jianmin, the other judges had never seen Mei Yuanbai's apprentice, and they all opened the information in their hands and turned to Wu Ping's page.

"Wu Ping, 28 years old, is a mid-level chef from Meifu Family Banquet. ”

He only became an intermediate chef at the age of 28, if you look at talent, it is not as good as Su Zifang, and there is no special talent written on the information.

"It doesn't look any different, I really don't know why you fell in love with him?" Xue Yi finished speaking, squinting at Wu Ping's cooking table.

There was a mandarin fish in front of Wu Ping, who was processing the internal organs and gills, his movements were neat, and his technique looked clean, but in the eyes of the judges, it was only clean, far from being skilled and exquisite.

"Yo, squirrel Guiyu, young man is not big, he is not small, he dares to make your specialty dish at this time. Xue Yi was surprised.

"Why, can't you?" Mei Yuanbai obviously knew about this situation for a long time, and there was no trace of surprise.

"We've all eaten the squirrel fish you made yesterday, and if your apprentice doesn't make it enough, he's likely to get a low score. ”

"Since he dares to do it, I believe he must be sure. Mei Yuanbai cheered up his apprentice.

Hearing Mei Yuanbai say this, others couldn't say anything more, so they silently followed and continued to watch.

"It's quite skillful at cutting fish heads, and this flower knife, which is fast, was it practiced by you pressing on the water platform?" Xue Yi quipped.

"Xiao Wu used to sell fish, which is the basic skill. Mei Yuanbai didn't hide it, anyway, in his opinion, it didn't matter what he did before, as long as he entered his door, he would become a top Huaiyang chef.

"No wonder. Xue Yi nodded.

No wonder I watched his movements just now with a lot of Jianghu atmosphere, not like the result of serious chef training.

"Mei Lao, is it really your apprentice?, why is the technique of slicing fish and flour different from you?" He Jianmin has seen Mei Yuanbai make squirrel osmanthus fish, and the whole action is almost the same as a template, and there will be no deviation.

But if you take a closer look, Wu Ping's approach is different from Mei Yuanbai's in many places, except for the name.

The fish with sliced knives is marinated in a marinade made of eggs, minced green onions, minced ginger, salt, white pepper, and rice wine.

"I remember you never put minced green onions and white peppers?" Xue Yi also found a blind spot, "You almost didn't put it when you cooked for us before." ”

"I don't like to eat green onions. Mei Yuanbai turned his head and glanced at Xue Yi: "So I don't need to use it, there's a problem?"

Xue Yi: ......

It's really the first time I've seen someone who talks about picky eating and dictatorship so freshly and refinedly!

"Actually, you don't need to look at it, Xiao Wu's strength is not this. Mei Yuanbai was worried that a group of old men who were about to exceed five hundred years old together looked at their apprentices and took the initiative to divert the topic.

But when he interrupted him like this, everyone's interest became more and more intense, and they asked what their strengths were.

"Smell. Mei Yuanbai said two words calmly.

"Hi ......"

"That's it?" Xue Yi smacked his tongue, feeling a little pity.

Identifying ingredients and condiments by smell is the basic skill of a chef. Who can be a chef, which one has a bad sense of smell?

To put it mildly, these people on the stage are together, and their sense of smell is probably more powerful than that of a police dog.

"He can smell the difference between salt and MSG. ”

All:......

Seeing everyone's reactions, Mei Yuanbai probably guessed what they were thinking, and added.

"The first time I saw him, I was wandering around the market with a bag of sauerkraut, and when I came to his stall, he said to me, 'Sir, do you want a black fish?

"I asked him how he knew I was going to make sauerkraut fish. He said that the smell of sauerkraut on me was so strong, how could I not smell it. ”

"The problem is, I didn't open the sauerkraut, and I didn't even ask about the sauerkraut smell, but he could smell it in a moment in the fishy smell. ”

"It can't be that you saw it on purpose, right?" He Jianmin asked.

"At first, I thought he was deliberately soliciting customers like this, but I observed a few people on the side and found that he could tell what kind of food he was carrying to others. ”

"If you have tofu, I recommend crucian carp. ”

"If you carry ginger, we recommend pomfret. ”

"If you buy pickled peppers, I recommend silver carp. ”

"Then I went to the side and bought a bag of salt and a bag of MSG. As soon as I walked to the edge of the stall, he told me that I would go to the third shop to buy salt, and the price would be better......

"And then?" Xue Yi was more concerned about what happened later than buying salt.

"I asked him how he found out that I bought the salt, and he told me that it was the taste of the bag, because the third shop likes to put the salt next to the grass fruit, so the salt bag has a grass fruit smell. ”

Later, I thought he had a very good talent, so I invited him to do a test, and found that his sense of smell was five times more sensitive than that of ordinary chefs, and his memory of taste was particularly deep, almost to the point of never forgetting it. So I asked him to worship me as a teacher. ”

After Mei Yuanbai finished speaking, he nodded with satisfaction as he looked at Wu Ping's cooking in the audience.

This feeling of pretending to be bi) is so cool!

"Mei Lao is really lucky!" He Jianmin sighed leisurely.

A person with skills like Wu Ping can be said to be a natural chef, as long as he finds one, not to mention the entire restaurant, it is possible that even the entire industry can be brought back to life.

Offstage, Wu Ping didn't know that he had become the object of attention of the bigwigs, and his eyes were still staring at the sauce that had just been prepared. White vinegar, sugar, tomato juice, and plum sauce are mixed together, and it smells incomparable.
