Chapter 170: Chef Competition (Part II)

About twenty minutes.

The first dish of the two young people was ready, a relatively simple sashimi platter, including tuna, swordfish, and octopus whiskers.

The plate is covered with a layer of smoothie and made into the shape of a hill, and the naked, mid-belly, and large belly are dotted on the smoothie, which looks full of beauty, and is also accompanied by lemon, star fruit and other anti-greasy fruits, the main ingredient looks very simple, but the presentation is very particular, giving people a high-end and pleasing feeling.

In addition to this sashimi, there are also small plates.

One of the long dishes is made of wasabi ground from wasabi, and the other is soy sauce with a very beautiful color.

The second child took the lead in tasting it, raised his claws and said:

"Perfect, full marks. ”

Chen Yang also tasted a slice and found that the processed sashimi would taste better than what he ate on the island, probably because of these smoothies, the umami of the sashimi was completely locked, and the spiciness of the mustard was just right, and it would not choke on the head, sure enough, the same thing, made by different people, the difference is still very big.

And after Zheng Lao ate a few bites.

I quickly ordered some soy sauce, placed it on my tongue, and said lightly: "The taste of this soy sauce is right, I remember that in the eighth episode of the second season of "The Lonely Gourmet", Uncle Goro said, 'The unpretentious soy sauce flavor is reassuring, and the original taste of the Chinese people will eventually return here', soy sauce has a pivotal position in the neon country, and has always had the reputation of 'Japanese food begins with soy sauce and ends with soy sauce'." ”

After listening to Zheng Lao's emotion.

Chen Yang was very shocked, he didn't think that Zheng Lao was not only proficient in Chinese cuisine, but also studied Japanese food, and the most incredible thing was that he actually knew "Lonely Gourmet".

The two young people looked excited: "Old Zheng, you also watch "Lonely Gourmet"?"

"Isn't it weird?" Zheng Lao wondered.

The two young people shook their heads again and again: "It's just too unexpected, Zheng Lao, you can watch Japanese dramas." ”

Zheng Lao glanced at them, and said that I was old in disguise, and said very unconvinced: "What is a Japanese drama, I still watch Hollywood blockbusters, if it weren't for the movie theater being too loud, I would have wanted to go to Avengers IV, if any of you went to see it, tell me if Thanos is dead, and a few people will get a bento." ”

The two young men were completely defeated.

Chen Yang also felt that he had lost, how could this old man live younger and younger.

"Forget it, in a few months, I'll watch the computer version. In fact, Zheng Lao didn't watch it at all, it was all his grandson, beeping there, and saying that after watching this film, he sighed that his youth was worth it.

What a cheap youth.

Next, Zheng Lao said slowly: "Two years ago, I went to the neon country for a trip, I remember that there was a young man, Arai Sheng also accompanied me to taste a lot of food in "Lonely Gourmet", it is indeed very good, two months of travel, also inspired me a lot, our young people are too eager for quick success, forget a lot of the taste of the food itself, but it is also a pity, Ono Jiro is two wheels older than me, and his health is not as good as before, if he travels with me, maybe he can have a lot of good advice." ”

Zheng Lao said that the wind was light, and the two young people were stunned.

Arai Sheng is the founder of the HOMMAGE restaurant, and he is also a two-Michelin-starred chef, and it is normal for Zheng Lao's level to be personally received by a two-star chef, but the character mentioned later is a bit abnormal, Ono Jiro is a palace-level master, known as the father of sushi, for them who learn Japanese cuisine, it is simply untouchable.

"Does Mr. Zheng know Mr. Jiro Ono?"

Zheng Lao nodded: "We have worked together before, and we have also learned from each other. ”

"Damn. The two young men said secretly, instantly in awe, because they learned Japanese food, they are not very familiar with Zheng Lao, because everyone is very respectful, they also know that Zheng Lao is a highly respected person, but they didn't expect it to be this level, they couldn't help but bow to Zheng Lao, and offer the highest respect to the chef.

Next, the shrimp and mustard soup served by Li Jiashan was praised by Zheng Lao, Chen Yang, who grew up by the sea, originally liked to eat shrimp and mushrooms, and naturally loved the house and Wu for this dish, and he was very optimistic about Li Jiashan, the chef.

"Perfect, full marks. The second child raised his claws.

Chen Yang: ......

The dish served by the first dish of the high three guns is mediocre, it is a dry pot anemone, but even if it is mediocre, this is also made by a head chef, with all the color, flavor and flavor, people can't help but eat a bite, and want to eat a second bite.

"Perfect, full marks. The second child raised his claws.

Chen Yang: (▼へ▼パ)

Since the beginning of the tasting, the second child has been completely broken, and every time he eats a dish, he will only say this sentence.

Due to the fact that the time was approaching, the chefs present quickly served the second course, and Zhang Siguang served two dishes in one go.

Sake lees eel and fried octopus whiskers.

got Zheng Lao's decent parity.

Li Jiashan's second dish is also soup, taro muscovy duck soup, he seems to be particularly good at making soup, and the taste of each soup is very thick and sweet, with unique characteristics, this dish also won Zheng Lao's appreciation.

And Lin Canal's second dish, Babao Red Sturgeon Rice, was criticized by Zheng Lao again, and the second child who ate Zhengxiang began to doubt his sense of taste, obviously it was very delicious, why was it said so unbearable, Chen Yang was also very depressed, this should be the best Babao red sturgeon rice he had ever eaten, and it was criticized as worthless.

It seems that Zheng Lao is indeed very strict, but what they didn't pay attention to was that as soon as Lin He turned around, Zheng Lao secretly tasted it himself, and muttered: "Why is this kid so talented, it seems that if you want to repair him in the future, you have to make up a lot of reasons." ”

At fifty-five o'clock, everyone's dishes were finished.

The first to finish was the two young men, and the cooking of Japanese food was relatively simple, and since the quality of these sashimi was already very high-quality, they didn't need a lot of processing.

To Chen Yang's surprise, all the chefs present, other seafood have been selected, such as scallion oil abalone, steamed lobster, and gooseneck barnacles, but no one chooses Neptune oysters, and even the head chef like Gao Sanpao hesitated in front of it for a few minutes, and finally chose to give up this ingredient.

Zheng Lao seemed to see Chen Yang's doubts, and answered: "Most chefs are in awe of ingredients, the better the ingredients, the more difficult it is to start, and what I am afraid of is waste." ”

As soon as Zheng Lao said this, Chen Yang's face was a little red, he had already spoiled a lot, not only eaten raw, but also roasted and eaten, and even eaten for pigs!!

However, Zheng Lao's reminder also woke him up, and Chen Yang felt that he couldn't waste it at will because the island was rich in resources.

Most of the delicacies on the earth are not scarce, but the man-made damage is too serious, and finally it ends up extinct, and the Neptune oyster is only available around the island according to the system, even in that world is a rare species, and it must be well protected while obtaining economic benefits.

Dare at the last minute, Gao Sancang brought the last dish up, and after lifting the lid of the pot, the steaming fragrance swayed, the taste was very strong, and in less than a few seconds, the whole room was filled with fragrance.

Seven star belly, a famous dish in Rongcheng.

He used a knife to cut the large pork belly, cut it into pieces, each slice is about one centimeter, and the hard-boiled eggs firmly fixed the ingredients in the pork belly together, and from the cut surface, you can see a variety of mixed materials.

Gao Sancang soaked the sliced seven-star belly in the thick broth, and just smelling this soup made people swallow their saliva.

This is a kind of "miscellaneous" art, for the chef's industry, doing subtraction is a very simple thing, but doing addition is very, very difficult, Zheng Lao's lifelong pursuit of Buddha jumping over the wall, is the ultimate in addition.

Smelling the fragrance of this seven-star belly, Chen Yang, who had already tried a lot of food, instantly opened his second stomach, while the rest of the chefs sighed, they thought that this dish could not be better than him.

Zheng Lao took the lead in tasting it, frowned slightly, and then tasted the second bite in a different position, thought for a while and said slowly: "It's really not easy to make this dish within an hour, but you are too particular about one, the cooking time of the duck gizzard is too short, the entrance is relatively hard, and the taste is not very good." ”

"Before the eggs are beaten, you should put a little less salt. ”

"Dried razor clams are not enough. ”

......

Zheng Lao put forward nearly six or seven opinions on this dish at once.

Gao Sanpao, who was listening to the side, couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, because he hadn't been in charge of the kitchen for too long, there were indeed mistakes in many places, but he didn't expect so much, and they were all pointed out by Zheng Lao.

He originally wanted to rely on this dish to suppress others, but he didn't think about it, but it backfired, and it seemed that he was going to miss out on Zheng Lao this time.

"Alas. Gao Sanpao sighed: "Xie Zhenglao corrected, it was because I was not good at learning." ”

Zheng Lao shook his head, and changed his words: "You have done a good job, there are few chefs in Rongcheng who do it better than you, maybe even me, but as a head chef, you still have a lot of room for improvement in this dish, I hope you work hard." ”

"What does Elder Zheng mean?" Gao Sanpao wondered.

"I said you did a good job. After Zheng Lao finished speaking, he turned to Chen Yang and said, "Xiao Chen, I want to ask you something, how much money do you have, is it possible to invest 500,000 yuan a month." ”

"It should be fine. Chen Yang replied.

"If that's not enough, I can lend you some. ”

The second brother answered: "Elder Zheng, don't worry, although I am a little poorer than you, I still have a lot of money, if my brother has no money, I will take over immediately." ”

"That's good. ”

Zheng Lao coughed twice: "You all performed well today, Li Jiashan's soup is very good, Zhang Siguang is good at all kinds of sauces, you two young people are also good, the basic skills are solid, rice and knife skills are okay, the first two dishes of the high three guns are relatively ordinary, and the latter one reflects his comprehensive ability as a chef." ”

"The overall performance was very good. ”

When Zheng Lao spoke, Lin Hehe looked bitter, everyone's dishes were ordered, but they didn't order their own, it seems that this time they were eliminated.

The reason why he ran out to apply for the job was for no other reason, that is, he stayed in a place for a long time, and wanted to come out to breathe, and the people there always praised themselves, and every time they ordered food, they named and asked them to do it.

After a long time, there is no taste.

I want to change places and live a new life, but I didn't think that I finally met a real master, but I was hit like this, and when Zheng Lao commented, he silently put away his tableware, or go back to his "Kuakua Qun" restaurant, continue to be flattered every day, and be praised every day.

"This interview, everyone passed. Zheng Lao finally announced.

Hear this.

Not only Lin Canal is stupid, but Chen Yang is also stupid, Gao Sancang is stupid, and the second child is stupid.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.
