Chapter 317: Difficult Food Critic?
"Chef Li, do you really want to prove yourself so much?" Chen Feng looked at Li Ran, who was already angry, presumably if he didn't come back, he would stop him again, right?
"There's nothing to prove it, it's just an exchange between chefs, I thought you wouldn't dare. Li Ran's tone has become more and more unkind, and his self-esteem has been frustrated, and he urgently needs to save his face through a contest.
He didn't believe that the young man in front of him had any real ability!
There are a lot of food critics' routines on the Internet, and anyone can say it when they memorize it, but how many food critics can make perfect dishes themselves? Very few! The chef's cooking skills need to be honed over time, and the level of cooking skills is directly proportional to the age of time, and often the older the chef, the higher the cooking skills, this is an insurmountable reality, this little ghost who speaks wild words is only in his early twenties, even if he starts to learn cooking skills in the womb, he does not work in the kitchen for as long.
He didn't believe that his cooking skills could overcome him.
I don't believe it at all!
"Since Chef Li wants to communicate, then it's okay, let's each make a good dish that we are good at, find someone to review it, and decide the winner in one game, how about it?" Chen Feng looked at him with a smile.
"Okay, since the table you're eating today is full of seafood, how about we make a seafood?"
"Okay, if you say seafood, it's seafood. ”
"Then find a judge on the spot. ”
Li Ran's eyes were looking for a suitable judge in the crowd, and a middle-aged woman stood up from a position in the corner and walked over.
"If you need a review, I can try. ”
This woman is dressed very dignified and atmospheric, with a long skirt beautiful and temperamental.
As soon as he saw this woman, Li Ran's eyes showed surprise, and soon this surprise turned into a surprise.
Why is she here?
If she were to serve as the judge, her chances of winning today would have increased by at least 80%!
"Ms. Zhang, it turns out that you are also dining here, why don't you say hello. Li Ran said excitedly.
"I was invited to be a judge at a food competition here, and I got off the plane in the afternoon. Ms. Zhang smiled politely, without too much explanation, she turned her gaze to Chen Feng and introduced herself: "Hello, I am Zhang Yuanling, the editor-in-chief of "Food in the World", I dare not say how proficient I am in food, but I still have a little research compared to ordinary diners, I just heard that your food can't be eaten by men, so I recommended myself to you as a judge." ”
"Hello, my name is Chen Feng. Chen Feng also smiled politely.
"I don't think you're fit to be a judge. Lin Yuqi said directly: "You seem to know him very well, right? How do we know that you won't favor him in the process of judging?"
"You can rest assured, in addition to being a food editor, I am also a well-known food critic, and I will not only be responsible for your cooking skills, but also for my own profession in the matter of food review, although I have some personal relations with Chef Li Ran, but this does not affect my fair and objective evaluation. Zhang Yuanling smiled, not caring at all about such doubts.
"It seems that I have met a professional. Chen Feng smiled indifferently: "Since you are a professional food critic, there is nothing more to say, Chef Li, please vacate the kitchen." ”
"Okay!"
With a confident smile on his face, Li Ran explained to the customers present, and went into the kitchen to make room for people.
Lin Yuyan pulled Chen Feng with a somewhat solemn expression.
"What's wrong?" Chen Feng looked at him with a smile.
"You're still laughing, do you really don't know Zhang Yuanling or don't you know Zhang Yuanling?"
"Should I know?" Chen Feng was stunned.
"She's not a well-known food critic, but a very, very famous food critic, who often serves as a judge for some food competitions, and some chefs in high-end restaurants even ask her for advice before going to some competitions to improve their skills. Her job is a food critic, and the editor-in-chief of Gourmet World is just a nominal editor-in-chief, an honorary editor-in-chief hired by the magazine for marketing purposes. ”
Lin Yuyan worried: "Her taste is notoriously picky in the industry, few chefs can get her approval, her highest evaluation of food is just good these two words, most of the dishes in high-end restaurants are average in her eyes, this person is difficult to satisfy, and you don't seem to know how to cook seafood, right?" Are you sure you want her to be a judge?"
"Are you familiar with her?" Chen Feng looked at Zhang Yuanling and smiled at her.
Many of Lin's high-end restaurants have invited her to taste them, and most of them have received low reviews. Lin Yuyan said again: "I don't know how deep his personal relationship with Li Ran is, but she can come here to eat at least it means that she still recognizes Li Ran's craftsmanship, which is not a good thing for you." ”
"If she thinks this kind of craftsmanship is good, then her level is like this. Chen Feng shrugged indifferently.
"I'm telling you seriously. Lin Yuyan glanced at him.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, you have no confidence in your husband so much?" Chen Feng brushed the drooping hair from her sideburns behind her ears.
"But you don't think you've ever cooked seafood. ”
"Who said that?"
"Huh, you've done that?"
The corners of Chen Feng's mouth grinned, and he smiled without saying a word.
"Chen Feng, right, the back kitchen is ready, let's start?" Li Ran walked out of the back kitchen, looking calm and winning.
Chen Feng smiled and went directly to the kitchen.
"Ms. Zhang, sit here for a while. I am really sorry that I should have been hospitable, but I turned out to be a judge. Li Ran didn't go to the kitchen right away.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a gesture, show your level and play well. Zhang Yuanling smiled politely and maintained her temperament.
"You can rest assured, just now the kitchen everyone division of labor and cooperation, it is inevitable that there will be flaws, this time I am in charge of the kitchen, to ensure that I show my highest level. ”
Zhang Yuanling smiled and stopped talking, Li Ran also knew that he had almost said it, turned around and went to the kitchen, with a look of victory.
Does he have a deep personal relationship with Zhang Yuanling?
Not really!
But he had the confidence to let Zhang Yuanling praise his food again!
At a domestic chef exchange competition last year, he received the highest praise in Zhang Yuanling's history for one of his dragon tours - very good! This is not a gap in one word, but a gap in grade!
After the game, he invited Zhang Yuanling to a meal, and asked her about her specific views on the dish of Longyou Sihai, and she also gave some opinions, and now, he can just improve according to her opinions and serve her a perfect Longyou Sihai!
I was able to get a very good evaluation from her, so this time it may be four words - very good!
Li Ran laughed and looked at Chen Feng in the kitchen, with a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth.
Boy, I'm a little more tender than you!
