Chapter 10: Terrible Knife Work

You must know that the most important thing in Dahuaxia's cooking skills is the heat. For ordinary cooks, even if they use the same ingredients and seasonings, because the heat is different, the taste of the dishes cooked twice is different.

And with a skilled cook, the difference will be a little smaller.

The same person, the same ingredients and seasonings, will have different tastes, let alone different people.

Even if Hua Jitian completely shines on Qin Yong's cat and draws his own tiger, the taste will be lost, and in the end, the tiger will not become an anti-dog.

Moreover, for a clever chef, it is necessary to have its own pace, so it is impossible to follow the learning every day, and it has been lost.

Qin Yong was originally a little worried that Hua Jitian would win by surprise. Now, Qin Yong was completely relieved, and he knew that he was 100% sure of winning.

In fact, in the hearts of Uncle Wang and others, Hua Jitian doesn't know how to cook, and this kind of painting cats and tigers is already a surprising victory, but in Qin Yong's eyes, it is still not enough.

Qin Yong continued to instruct his subordinates, ignoring Hua Jitian's three people who followed behind their buttocks.

"A five-pound net fat hen. Qin Yong said.

His men were instructed to pick the hens.

"A five-pound net fat hen. Pang Xuan also pretended to shout, and then went to pick the hen himself.

"Half a catty of pig's trotters in water. Qin Yong ignored Pang Xuan and continued to command.

The men went to weigh the pig's trotter tendons.

"Half a catty of pig's trotters in water. Uncle Wang also shouted, and then went to weigh the pig's trotters himself. His old husband talked about juvenile madness, and thought Pang Xuan's move was funny, so he also followed Qin Yong's words.

Hua Jitian, like the two of them, deliberately followed Qin Yong to learn his tongue, shouted, and then went to get the ingredients himself.

The three of them were very busy, and they kept parroting and having fun.

Qin Courage's face turned blue, but he had nowhere to attack, so he could only scold his subordinates loudly.

The selection of the two parties continues.

Three taels of fine ham, and three taels. The front is Qin Yong's, and the back is Hua Jitian.

Four taels of winter bamboo shoots, and four taels of bamboo shoots.

……

Two taels of green onions, two taels of green onions.

Fresh ginger slices in half and in half, and in half.

……

The two parties were step-by-step and methodical, picking out the ingredients and picking the seasonings.

Before 8:15, the selection was completed, and they were transported to the competition site in the lobby of the hotel. The two sets of kitchenware look exactly the same, nothing unusual, each set of kitchenware is a double stove, two stoves.

Qin Yong first picked the kitchenware on the left, and Hua Jitian could only use the kitchenware on the right.

There were already many people in the hall, all of whom were hotel staff, and they knew that today, the nine white hairs Hua Jitian and the head chef Qin Yong were trying their cooking skills, and they all came early to see the excitement.

Of course, these people are also optimistic about Qin Yong, after all, Qin Yong is a star chef, and Hua Jitian is just a small chord in the back kitchen, and it is said that he has never even touched a frying spoon.

They were all talking: "Nine hairy flowers can cook in the sky?"

"Probably not, right?"

"Then he still dares to challenge Chef Qin?"

"If it were me, I would. ”

"Why?"

"Stupid, compete with a star chef, although you are defeated, you are still honored, even if you lose, you will gain fame. ”

"Oh, I see. I can't see that this kid Hua Jitian is quite scheming. ”

……

Chairman Yang Jing also came to the scene, and with him, there were two other people, a man and a woman, both of whom were fifty or sixty years old. The man is gentle and very cultivated, and the woman is still charming, and when she is young, she is also captivating the country and the city.

The three of them humbled each other, and in the end, the chairman sat in the middle judge's seat.

"It's eight twenty-five, are you all ready?" The chairman turned on the microphone on the table, leaned forward, and asked Hua Jitian and Qin Yong about the microphone. The chairman is neither sad nor happy, and he can't see his tendencies.

"Ready. Hua Jitian and Qin Yong replied.

"These two are good friends of mine, and they are both well-known food critics in China, and they are very high-level, and they are absolutely qualified to comment on your dishes. The chairman briefly introduced the two judges he brought.

The two judges all looked at Hua Jitian with great interest, could this kid really have good food, and he dared to compete with Qin Yong. Although they hadn't seen Qin Yong, they had heard the chairman talk about Qin Yong.

The chairman has dozens of five-star restaurants, and there are dozens of chefs under him, Qin Yong's level is considered to be below average, and he is too far from a genius chef like Luo Chuanshui, but in any case, after all, he is a star chef, and in theory, it is definitely not something that a small chef who has only cut dishes for three years can challenge.

The female judge smiled and said to the chairman and another judge: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and when I see this kid, I suddenly feel that we are old." ”

Another male judge said: "This kid dares to challenge a star chef, his courage is commendable, although I am not optimistic, but it does not prevent me from appreciating him." ”

The female judge said: "If Hua Ji has a family history and a good talent, maybe he can win against Qin Yong." ”

The chairman said: "Hua Jitian has only cut dishes here for three years, and he has never been in contact with cooking before. "The chairman asked the manager to learn about Hua Jitian's work experience and family situation.

The female judge said: "If this is the case, it is impossible for Hua Jitian to win." ”

The chairman continued: "You are not optimistic?"

Both judges nodded their heads, indicating that they were indeed not optimistic. Needless to say, even if he is a genius, it takes time to polish before he can have extraordinary cooking skills, such as the number one chef under the chairman, Luo Chuanshui.

Whether Hua Jitian is a genius or not, everyone can't tell yet, but when it takes time to polish his cooking skills, it is obvious that Hua Jitian does not.

The chairman smiled slightly: "I'm optimistic about him." ”

The two judges were shocked: "Are you optimistic about him?"

The chairman nodded: "At least I won't lose." ”

The female judge looked at Hua Jitian, who was preparing the ingredients, with great interest, and said to the chairman: "If his level is really so high, you must keep him under your command." ”

The chairman said, "Yes." In time, this kid will shine and maybe help me defeat that man. ”

The male judge's face was shocked, and he said, "You actually said that you might be able to defeat that person?" Even your genius chef Luo Chuanshui, you haven't given such a high evaluation, have you?"

The chairman looked at the watch with a smile and said, "It's time for the competition, let's look at the competition first." ”

The clock that only listened to the chronograph rang twice.

The hotel manager glanced at the chairman, the chairman nodded slightly, and the hotel manager shouted: "The competition begins." ”

Both sides began to get busy.

The ingredients are ready-made, do not need to be handled, and only need to be cleaned up and ready to use.

After a few minutes, Hua Jitian's movements made everyone stunned.

Because, all the actions of Hua Jitian are exactly the same as Qin Yong.

Qin Yong set up a pot to ignite the fire, and Hua Jitian also set up a pot to ignite.

Qin Yong put three spoonfuls of water in the pot, and Hua Jitian also put three spoonfuls of water.

Even the ingredients on the board, Hua Jitian is the same as Qin Yong. How Qin Yong cuts, Hua Jitian cuts.

On the judges' bench, the chairman and the other two judges also felt that something was wrong. The three of them exchanged heads and whispered, anyway, there was no one else around them, the microphone was on the square table, the three of them did not lean forward, and the words could not be transmitted into the microphone, and outsiders could not hear them.

The male judge was almost speechless: "The two of them want to make the same dish." ”

The female judge said: "The soup is a winter melon cup, and the dish is Buddha jumping over the wall." ”

The chairman's eyes are also very sharp, and he has already seen it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's more convenient for us to evaluate and score." ”

The female judge said helplessly: "Don't you see that Hua Jitian is now learning and selling?

The chairman said: "Don't you see that although Hua Jitian is learning and selling, his actions are a little faster than Qin Yong's, otherwise, it is impossible to keep up with Qin Yong's rhythm." ”

The female judge took a closer look and was surprised: "Sure enough." ”

The chairman said: "What's more, Hua Jitian is not only fast, but the knife work is also above Qin Yong." ”

The male judge's face was full of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost alive: "It's really like this, how is it possible?" He also saw that Hua Jitian was not only faster than Qin Yong, but also cut the dishes more evenly than Qin Yong.

In the chef's business, there is a saying that the seven-point knife worker is three-point heat. This sentence is a bit exaggerated, compared with the ability to master the heat, the ability to master the heat is naturally more important.

But this exaggerated sentence also shows from the side that good knife work is a prerequisite for a good cook.

Now it seems that Hua Jitian's knife work is no longer an obstacle for him to become a good cook.

The three judges are experts in the doorway, but the others are just watching the fun.

These melon-eating crowds who watched the excitement began to be in an uproar after being stunned by Hua Jitian's action.

"Hua Jitian, this is plagiarism. ”

"It's not just plagiarism, it's also blatant plagiarism on the spot. ”

Some people disagree with this point of view: "Cooking is not singing and writing articles, there are only dozens of dishes in each cuisine, and it is not plagiarism or plagiarism." ”

"But Hua Jitian is completely learning from Chef Qin. ”

"That's good. ”

"Chef Qin's face turned black with anger, haha. Someone saw that Qin Yong was very unhappy.

"Shhhhhh ”

The people who eat melons don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, they dare to say anything, anyway, the hotel manager as the host didn't stop it.

Of course, Qin Yong's darker face is just the feeling of the people who eat melons.

He couldn't hear the judges' words, and he might not be able to hear the gossip of the other audiences, first, the scene was chaotic, the sound of the horse spoon touching the edge of the pot, and the sound of ding ding dong chopping vegetables;

But Qin Yong's anger is true, he has already found that Hua Jitian said that learning him to cook is not an empty talk, but a solid implementation.

When picking ingredients and seasonings, Hua Jitian was exactly the same as him, and Qin Yong endured it. But now that he is cooking, it is not bad at all, Qin Yong can't bear it.

What was even more unbearable and chilling was Hua Jitian's performance of divine help, so he had to do something to interrupt Hua Jitian's rhythm.

Qin Yong stopped the kitchen knife and shouted to the judges: "Director...... The three judges, spend the day learning from me. ”
