Chapter 62: The Origin of the Bun
"Done!"
"Done!"
After Gao Hui finished cooking, Su Yang and Wan Lin also completed it one after another, and for Gao Hui to finish cooking so quickly, which was also something they didn't expect, what method did he use? This made both of them feel very incomprehensible.
"Okay! Since the three participating chefs have already finished their own cooking, then Gao Hui, who is the first to finish it, will serve the steamed buns he has cooked first!" the host also said at this time.
Gao Hui heard the host's words, so he brought a steamer up.
However, since the steamer is covered, no one can see what the buns in this steamer are like.
When Gao Hui brought the steamer up, the five judges focused their attention on this small steamer.
Gao Hui then spoke: "Judges, please taste the bun I made, I named him Crystal Shrimp Bun." ”
At the same time, Gao Hui opened the lid of the steamer.
As soon as the lid was opened, a very thick mist rose from the steamer, making it impossible for anyone present to see the inside for a while.
But as the fog gradually disappeared, a huge bun appeared in front of everyone, the most amazing thing is that the surface of this bun is thinner than the general bun, and it can even reflect the shrimp in the bun, which is really a veritable crystal shrimp bun.
"Yes, the skin is thin enough to reflect the shrimp inside, and the whole bun looks crystal clear, like crystal. ”
Before the other judges could speak, Lei Xihua had already opened his mouth to praise.
Yang Zhi and they didn't make any judgment on this appearance, after all, cooking is not like knife skills only to judge by appearance, it needs to be tasted, only to make real delicious food is the main purpose of cooking, if the appearance alone can not reflect the deliciousness of the food, then this crystal shrimp bun is a failure.
So, it's hard to say until you taste this bun.
However, except for Lei Xihua who praised Gao Hui's large bun, the five of them did not take any action, even if it was Lei Xihua himself, the other four of them frowned together, but Lei Xihua himself sighed helplessly.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Gao Hui immediately frowned, and then reminded him: "Please ask the five judges to taste my buns." ”
But the five people in front of them were motionless, and they still didn't pick up chopsticks to clamp them.
Even Yang Zhi didn't bother to look at the bun and said, "Take this bun down and cook the next bun." ”
When the staff heard Yang Zhi's words, they couldn't help but come up and take away the buns, but at this moment, Gao Hui shouted at Yang Zhi in front of him with an angry expression: "Wait a minute! You haven't even eaten our buns, why do you take away my hard-earned buns? It's unfair to me." ”
Yang Zhi didn't speak, just looked at Gao Hui like this, and asked lightly, "You said it's called Baozi?"
"Buns are naturally a pastry made from flour, yeast and fillings. Gao Hui said self-righteously.
Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "Baozi is indeed a kind of pastry food, but it also has another name, called steamed buns." ”
According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang of Shu led his troops to attack the Southern Barbarians, and captured the seven barbarian generals Meng Shu, so that Meng Shu finally surrendered. When the army was ready to cross the river, the wind suddenly blew fiercely, the waves hit a thousand feet, the ghosts cried wolves, and the army could not cross the river. ”
At this time, Zhuge Liang summoned Meng to ask the reason, it turned out that the two armies were fighting, and the fallen soldiers could not return to their hometowns to reunite with their families, so they made waves on this river and obstructed the return of the soldiers. If the army wants to cross the river, it must sacrifice the river with 49 heads of the barbarian army to calm the waves. ”
Zhuge Liang thought to himself: It is inevitable that the two armies will be killed and wounded in battle, how can they kill another 49 lives? Thinking of this, he came up with a plan, that is, he ordered the cook to use rice and noodles as skin, wrapped in the meat of black cattle and white sheep, and pinched and molded 49 human heads. Then, set up the incense case, sprinkle the wine to the river, and the steamed bun has the same sound as the man's head, and since then, there is a "steamed bun" in the folk. ”
Hearing Yang Zhi's words, Gao Hui couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth and said, "So what? What does this have to do with the buns I made?"
"Because what you make is not a bun at all, although the method is the same as the way of the bun, but the size of the bun has a certain regulation, so such a bun can only eat the filling inside, but you can't really eat it with the belt meat. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Zhi paused and continued: "The real delicacy of the bun lies in the proper combination of the bun skin and filling, if you have the filling and no skin, that kind of bun is no longer a bun, so we don't need to taste your bun at all to draw conclusions." ”
Gao Hui has always learned Western food, although he also knows the practice of steamed buns, but he didn't expect that there are so many ways to make steamed buns, Yang Zhi's words immediately made him not know how to answer, he was right, the most important thing about steamed buns is the deliciousness between the combination of bun skin and bun filling.
If you can't do this, this kind of bun is not a bun at all, Gao Hui's approach is right, but the fault is that he made such a big bun in order to save time, which is his failure.
Now that the competition time is over, it is too late for him to do it again, and he is destined to miss the position of head chef.
However, Gao Hui naturally couldn't just accept his fate, he retorted: "Why don't I count this as a bun, I have both bun skin and bun filling, why can't I call it a bun, before the game, you didn't say that buns can only be made into ordinary small buns, not big buns, so I am not a violation." ”
"Gao Hui is right, although the buns he made look bigger, they are still buns at all, no matter how good he tastes, they are still buns, so I think we still have to taste his big buns, otherwise, it will not be fair to Gao Hui. Lei Xihua said in time at this time.
Dai Qian also nodded at this time and said: "What Chef Lei said does have a few truths, the buns made by Gao Hui are indeed buns from the outside, if we can't just deny that it is not a bun, I think we should give Gao Hui a chance, any cooking can only be known after tasting its taste, right?"
The general manager is right, we should give Gao Hui a chance. Executive Chef Yu Ruoming also said with a smile at this time.
Yang Zhi didn't say anything when he heard the words of the two, now that the three of them have supported it, it doesn't matter whether he and Guan Yuping support it or not, which makes him frown even deeper, but after all, he is just an outsider and can't interfere too much, so he can only keep quiet.
