Chapter 284: Participate in the competition
Yu is finished.
Hanyu and Kojima, the brothers, looked at the crowd of onlookers with their heads down.
It can only be said that they are really unlucky. These two people do have a knack for making sashimi, and they do learn from a traditional Japanese chef.
However, because they were reluctant to spend too much money to buy wasabi, they were found to be shoddy by Liu Pleiades, which was discredited.
"I'm very sorry. Kojima and Hanyu bowed and apologized again, but at this time, even if Fang Ze and Liu Yuxing wanted to forgive him, it was too late, because the diners around him already knew about it.
Although they can't tell the difference between wasabi and horseradish, it doesn't mean that they are willing to be deceived.
Just like the shoddy beef incident that happened in Neon a few years ago, many high-end restaurants and hotels were involved, and many hotels across the country used Australian imported beef instead of expensive local Wagyu.
And for a long time, most diners couldn't tell the difference between Wagyu beef, which is known as a national treasure, and ordinary imported beef. In addition to this, they also used Vietnamese shrimp instead of sesame shrimp, Chinese chestnuts instead of chestnuts imported from Europe, and so on.
One of the interesting things about neon is that they tend to set high standards for themselves. And this standard is impossible for most enterprises to achieve, so in the actual implementation process, they can only be forced to lower the standard and shoddy.
But even then, they are reluctant to change the standards. Of course, the radioactivity standard for food is excepted, because there is no way to eradicate nuclear contamination and there is no money to prevent it from spreading, so the neon government can only rely on changing the radioactivity standard to make a fool of the day.
"Something happened. At this time, the staff of the venue also rushed over because of the crowd gathering to ask what happened.
When the two neon chefs saw the staff coming, they felt that if they admitted that they were shoddy in front of the staff, it would be a very big blow to their reputation, so the two greeted them directly, and then said to the staff, "I'm very sorry, because we have something to do temporarily, I'm afraid we won't be able to continue to participate in this food festival." But thank you very much for having me. ”
Before the staff of the venue could figure out what was going on, they saw that the two neon cooks had already packed up their things and started leaving.
By the time they asked what the two neon chefs had done, Kojima and Hanyu had already left, adhering to the principle that more is better than less, and the staff only reported to the above that the two chefs could not continue to compete.
But I don't know what the person in charge of this food festival is thinking about, so I thought about it for a while and replied to this staff member that he hoped that he could find two other chefs to replace these two people to continue to participate in the competition, and not let the media and the outside world know about the withdrawal of people from the food festival.
Looking for two more chefs?!
The official competition is about to start, so I'm going to find two more chefs.
This staff member was deeply impressed by the trouble of his superiors, but he did not dare to say anything refused.
After all, it is not always clear how much the leader has contributed to whom, but it will definitely be remembered for a long time who did not listen to his command.
So after the staff member hung up the phone, his eyes rolled and he saw Fang Ze, who was still behind the booth and did not come out.
The staff saw that the onlookers had almost gone, so they enthusiastically entered the back of the booth and greeted Fang Ze.
"What do friends call them. The staff subconsciously took a cigarette from his pocket as he spoke, but halfway through his hand, he remembered that Xianghu Building was absolutely non-smoking today, so he simply reached over and shook hands with Fang Ze.
"Fang Ze. Fang Ze didn't understand what this staff member was doing when he came to greet him, so he simply introduced his name.
"Mr. Fang Ze, right? The staff said to Fang Ze with a smile on their faces, "Ask a question, since Mr. Fang Ze was able to point out that the two neon chefs are shoddy, they must not be bad in terms of cooking skills." ”
Although Fang Ze wanted to correct this staff member, the two neon chefs' use of horseradish instead of wasabi was discovered by Liu Pleiades, a child, but because it was very troublesome to explain, Fang Ze had no choice but to nod and acquiesce.
"That's right. The staff said to Fang Ze, "Are you interested in participating in our cooking competition this time, if you are interested, I can add your name to the entry list now, you can participate in the competition with other chefs, and maybe you will have the opportunity to climb to the highest sixth floor." ”
Forehead.
Fang Ze looked at this staff member and wanted to ask him what kind of madness he had, how could he pull passers-by so casually to participate in such a formal competition.
Just wanted to refuse, but Liu Pleiades suddenly pulled his clothes.
Fang Ze looked down, but found that there was a trace of longing in Liu Pleiades' eyes.
In the chef industry, there is no such thing as waiting for death. Even if you can cook a very delicious dish, if you don't innovate for a long time, you will gradually lose your reputation.
Although Fang Ze's world and Liu Pleiades's alternate world are both Chinese cuisine, in fact, after modern times, the Chinese cuisine in this world has changed a lot compared to before ancient times.
The fundamental reason is not only the increase in the variety of ingredients, but also the increase in exchanges between chefs from all over the world, which has led to the speed at which chefs are innovating a lot faster.
Many Chinese cuisines also add regional culinary characteristics to a greater or lesser extent. So Liu Pleiades very much hopes to see these different delicacies.
If he was just a diner, he would only be able to taste the food on the first floor, and there would be no way to go up to a higher place to taste better food.
However, if you become a chef in the competition, you can taste the food prepared by other chefs at the end of the competition, and you can enjoy a variety of dishes more conveniently than diners.
Since Liu Pleiades wants to participate in the competition, Fang Ze doesn't care, he is idle anyway.
He nodded and looked at Lin Xiaoxin, who was still eating in the distance and didn't know anything, nodded at the staff member and said, "No problem, we can participate in the competition." ”
"Really, that's great. The staff was very happy to see that Fang Ze agreed. He asked Fang Ze next, "Do you need an assistant or something, you won't be able to cook alone?" ”
"It doesn't matter. Fang Ze pointed at Liu Pleiades and said, "The two of us have no problem at all." ”
Hey, it's a kid.
The staff took a look at Liu Pleiades and always felt that the child's age was too young.
But it doesn't matter, there is no age limit for the chef, and a child is a good publicity point after the competition, anyway, the honor of this competition is about everyone, as long as you don't poison the dish, everything is easy to say.
Speaking of poisoning in dishes.
The staff squinted and thought for a moment. The ingredients used by the other participating chefs were checked in advance, so there was no problem.
But if this new group of contestants is concerned, they must not be able to contact and find ingredients on their own.
So the staff said to Fang Ze, "You don't have time to prepare the ingredients for the temporary competition now." What we can provide for you, if you need anything, give me a list, and I will immediately notify the warehouse to send it to you. ”
"There's no rush for now, we haven't decided what to do yet. Fang Ze said to the staff, "You better register our information first." ”
"Okay. The staff said to Fang Ze, "I'll go get the registration form now, and you guys will think about what ingredients you need." ”
After the staff finished speaking, he took two steps back, thought of something, turned his head and said embarrassedly to Fang Ze. "Well, the ingredients in our warehouse are actually prepared to prevent other chefs from consuming too many ordinary ingredients. So there are no precious and special ingredients, when you choose the ingredients later... ”
"That's understandable. Fang Ze had already guessed that the precious ingredients prepared by the organizers were generally owned by the owner, and even if there was a surplus, they would not be taken out easily, after all, no chef could guarantee that he would not have too many ingredients when cooking.
After the staff left, Fang Ze looked down at Liu Pleiades and asked, "What dishes do we make in the first game, we can only choose common ingredients, and the choice of noodles is too small." ”
"The mystery of food is not about the value of the ingredients, but whether the chef can make it delicious. "If the food is delicious just because the ingredients are precious, then what else do you need a chef to do?" ”
"So?"
"So let's make a dish of shredded pork with green peppers. Liu Pleiades nodded happily and determined what he was going to cook.
Indeed, good civilians are good ordinary dishes.
Green pepper shredded pork, one of the common home-cooked dishes, his evaluation is also recognized by everyone, simply one word: public.
However, if the chef who makes this shredded pork with green peppers is Liu Yuexing, it doesn't matter if the public is not popular.
Soon the staff took the registration form, and Fang Ze took the registration form and wrote the names of Fang Ze and Liu Yuexing.
In addition to the information, the registration form also needs to write the restaurant to which the registrant belongs, Fang Ze thought for a while, wrote the three words Ju Xialou, and the territory was marked with Sichuan.
Well,Generally speaking,No one should think of the animation of the Chinese little master from Ju downstairs.,After all, how many years have passed.。
Because the game was about to start, there was not much time for Fang Ze and Liu Yuexing, and the two washed their hands and began to prepare.
Lin Xiaoxin, who was half-full for a while, walked over, and as soon as she raised her head, she saw Fang Ze and Liu Yuexing, who had changed into chef clothes.
"Eh, what are you two doing standing here? Lin Xiaoxin was stunned.
