Chapter 256: The Best Fifth Man
Soon, Xue Yi returned and saw Kong Yan with a shocked look.
"Master Xue, I ......"
"I know. Xue Yi interrupted: "Your master just finished calling me. ”
"He ......"
Kong Yan was a little moved, he knew that his master had not been in contact with these old friends in the chef circle for a long time since the incident (qíng) back then, but he didn't expect that he would be willing to pull down his face again for him.
"Actually, your master doesn't need to be like this. ”
"Although the events of the year (qíng) had some influence, his skills are still there, so why be so decisive. ”
"Hey......"
Xue Yi sighed with emotion.
Other people who eat melons without knowing it: ......
Kong Yan didn't dare to say about his master's (qíng) situation, so he blinked and pretended to be well-behaved.
Seeing that Kong Yan was an honest child, Xue Yi did not continue the topic, after all, he was also a scheming person, and it was not interesting to talk to an honest child about his master.
At this moment, Xue Yi suddenly thought a little about He Jianmin.
If he is there, I am afraid that Kong Zhengming's life biography can be dug out from Kong Yan's mouth.
"It's not that you don't have to sit like a good student in class, this is not the Kong family. Xue Yi sat down and let Kong Yan relax.
"It's exactly the same as your master, when I was in the imperial capital, I sat upright during dinner, and what I said followed the food etiquette. ”
Kong Yan: ......
Let him take it as a compliment.
"Your Confucian family is not good at this, you have to follow the ancestral system, forget it, I don't care about your family's affairs (qíng), but let's talk about you, why don't you introduce yourself first?"
Xue Yi said it and finally turned back to the topic.
"Hello everyone, I'm Kong Yan, twenty-four this year, an intermediate chef, good at Lu cuisine, this time I came to eat silently mainly to learn the ability of seasoning with you. "Seriousness is exactly the same as introducing yourself in an interview.
"Do you know what your problem is?" Xue Yi asked.
"Yes. Kong Yan nodded and said: "The masters in Guang have commented before, the taste of a single ingredient is okay, but the overall cuisine is not harmonious. ”
"Why?" Xue Yi was a little curious at the time, but it was not easy to ask questions in front of so many people, and now they are all learning from themselves, and it is okay to discuss them together.
"I don't know. Kong Yan shook his head.
"Didn't Brother Zhengming say anything?"
On the phone just now, Kong Zhengming only mentioned that Kong Yan didn't seem to be in line with the seasoning ability, but this is too strange, it is better to ask me directly.
"Master said that this may be a psychological problem for me. ”
Su Zifang: ......
If so, he felt that Kong Yan needed a psychiatrist, not Xue Yi.
Before he was speechless, the system prompt popped up instantly.
[Quest (妙手回 (chūn)): Ask the host to help Kong Yan solve the problem of uncoordinated seasoning, task reward: Confucian Family Banquet. 】
Su Zifang looked at the task and was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke: "What is the incongruity of seasoning?"
Kong Yan: ......
Xue Yi was stunned, and realized that the four of them had indeed not eaten Kong Yan's food, so he looked at Kong Yan
"Why don't you write it down and take a look at it first?"
"Good. ”
Kong Yan didn't refuse, went straight to the back kitchen, and brought out a plate of braised prawns in oil after ten minutes.
"What's wrong with you?"
A few people looked at the prawns on the plate, the color was red and bright, the thickening, plating, and knife work were all impeccable, and there seemed to be no problem with the smell.
But after getting off the chopsticks, their faces changed.
"How's that?" Xue Yi asked.
"It's a bit of a separation, it feels like the flavors aren't blending. ”
This was Su Zifang's first acquaintance, but he didn't quite believe that such a dish was made by Kong Yan.
Suspecting that something was wrong with his tongue, he dipped some sauce again to taste it.
It still seems to be a little separated......
Su Zifang frowned: "It shouldn't be!"
On the side, Mu Fei, Zhao Xiaoman and Zhang Zidan didn't know what to say.
"It's okay, just say it. ”
Kong Yan seems to be relatively open-minded.
"I don't think the flavors are coming together. Su Zifang changed his relatively flat statement.
"En. The crowd nodded.
"You go and make a simple dish, pancake cabbage, shredded potatoes, stir-fried cumin (ròu), cold cucumber. Xue Yi changed the dish.
"Good. Kong Yan agreed very quickly, and he brought it out very quickly.
"Try it again. Xue Yi continued to let a few people try it.
Su Zifang picked up a piece of pancake, thin, tough, elastic, and fragrant, which was countless times better than the multigrain pancakes bought on the street.
Roll up three dishes.
"!" Su Zifang instantly felt a feeling of soul sublimation.
The shredded potatoes taste just right, I don't know how Kong Yan handles it, there will actually be a aroma of french fries, which is a perfect match with pancakes.
When you eat the (ròu) silk part, it is another texture. The spicy and fragrant shredded (ròu) brings out the aroma of the noodles and eggs in the pancakes, and the texture is like (ròu) buns and chicken (ròu) rolls.
The last cucumber shreds, originally Su Zifang thought it would be a little bland, but when I took a bite, I felt the crispness that the first two ingredients did not bring, and the cucumber shredded with hot and sour sauce burst out with a unique refreshing taste in the mouth, removing the mellow and spicy (ròu) shreds of the shredded potatoes, leaving only the most primitive fragrance.
"Delicious, it's the best pancake roll I've ever had. ”
Hearing this, Kong Yan showed a somewhat smug smile on his face.
The other three ate slowly, and waited for Su Zifang to finish sighing before revealing the same shocked table (qíng).
However, the look in his eyes betrayed them, and the eyes that looked at Kong Yan all had a sentence written on them: "Why did this happen (qíng)?"
"I don't know. Kong Yan shook his head helplessly.
"It's like that's how I've been cooking since I started cooking, and it's easy to make a single ingredient flavor, but when it comes to compound ingredients, problems start to arise. ”
"But every dish that is well done can still feel incongruous if it is mixed together. ”
"What about the braised prawns just now?" Su Zi let go for a moment.
If this is the case, braised prawns should be considered a single-ingredient dish, but there is also a strong sense of alienation.
"Stock. Kong Yan said lightly.
Su Zifang instantly understood.
"I don't know how to solve your problem for the time being, you can study with Xiao Su and them first. ”
"Well, okay. Kong Yan agreed quickly.
In fact, he didn't have too high expectations for Xue Yi to solve his problem, after all, Kong Zhengming took him to see a lot of chefs and doctors, and he didn't know how to solve it.
It's just for the sake of Master's expectations and his own desire to make a final effort.
He's even figured it out.
If you can't solve the problem of dealing with compound ingredients after returning from Jingling this time, you will leave the Confucian Restaurant and open a pancake stall to sell pancakes and cabbage.
It was a method that he had thought about for a long time.
You can't make compound ingredients, just let a single ingredient be mixed together without changing the flavor, and the joy of a few people eating their own pancake rolls just now is not pretended.
That's when it happened.
Kong Yan felt that there was an extra person next to him (shēn).
Twist your head.
Su Zi smiled with great malice: "We are about to participate in the Jingling City Business Card Food List Competition, there is still a lack of one person, are you interested in coming together?"
