CH.73 Watch the Cooking
The two of them briefly communicated, and in this gap, Eddie and Romon also came to the window and took a general look at the kitchen.
It is no exaggeration to say that the heart of the restaurant lies in the kitchen.
Sometimes, a restaurant that looks very upscale doesn't necessarily have a high-quality kitchen.
The hygiene and management of a kitchen shows the determination and potential of the chef of this restaurant.
As a gourmet, Eddie is of course very fond of this, and he does agree to Romon to accompany him and try the food by the way, but only if the kitchen is up to standard - he doesn't want to eat some garbage in his stomach.
Through the window, he scanned the kitchen.
The chefs in the kitchen cook more common dishes, but the hygiene of the kitchen is surprising, especially when replacing the kitchenware, it is not to throw the kitchenware away, but to put it in the designated place, so after some operation, the kitchen can still be kept tidy, which many kitchens do not have, and there is a clear distinction between tableware, kitchenware, and even the place where the ingredients are placed.
The fact that the entire kitchen runs in an orderly manner can only explain one reason: the chef of this restaurant has high requirements for the kitchen.
But who is the chef?
Add glanced around the kitchen, and finally his eyes fell on the two young men walking towards him.
Needless to say, Zheng Ke is the chef of Chinese cuisine, as for the chef of this restaurant, it seems that only the black-haired chef has the feeling of a chef, but his age ...... It's a little small, so it's underage, right?
Romon mentioned to him that the chef who cooked the Chinese dishes was very young, and he was still skeptical, but when he saw these two people, he believed it.
As for the cooking skills, you can only know when the Chinese chef has cooked the dishes.
"Hello two-" Zheng Ke nodded slightly at the two of them.
Eddie's gaze moved to Absolon behind Zheng Ke, "You're the chef of this restaurant?"
"That's right. Absolon nodded, unsure why Add was asking him.
"The kitchen looks ok. Eddie said.
"Thank you. Absolon bowed slightly in thanks.
Being praised by Europe's top 10 gourmets really made Absolon a little proud.
Eddie looked at Zheng Ke again, "Do you know how to cook Western food?"
"Will do. Zheng Ke nodded.
"Bring me some Western food. Add said, turning around.
"No, I can't. Zheng Ke flatly refused.
Hey?
Eddie, Romon and Absolon all looked at Zheng Ke suspiciously. Absolon was even weaker, he was afraid that Zheng Ke would say something out of the ordinary, so he deliberately reminded Eddie's identity, but he didn't expect Zheng Ke to ignore what he just said.
"Why?" said Eddie, turning to look at Zheng Ke.
Zheng Ke tapped the kitchen window with his finger, "Sir, please look at the second item of the notice." I've already explained it beforehand. ”
Add glanced at the notification and narrowed his eyes, but his face showed dissatisfaction, "Do you know who I am?"
"Is it better to have a meal, than whose identity is higher?" Zheng Ke asked rhetorically.
Eddie blinked, it was the first time he had heard someone talk to him like this in so many restaurants.
"Flutter. ”
Romon on one side covered his mouth, chuckled, and gently patted Eddie's back, "Okay, don't look around, I told you yesterday, he only cooks Chinese food." ”
Eddie turned around depressedly, "Of course I know, but as a Westerner, I'm not used to eating Chinese food at all. ”
"Then a little taste may give you a different feeling?" Rommon persuaded.
"Remember, if there's a next time, don't call me again. Add glared at Romon .
"It doesn't matter, I'm going to look at the young man's dishes up close, I wonder if you're interested?" Romon asked Add.
Add thought for a moment, then nodded.
After Romon made his request, Absolon squeezed his eyes at Zheng Ke and motioned for him to refuse.
If it was an ordinary person who asked to watch, Absolon might have thought it was nothing, but Eddie was clearly not an ordinary person.
He knows that Eddie is not a chef, but no one is sure how much Eddie cooks, but as a top gourmet, he should have his own uniqueness in the operation and judgment of the chef.
Zheng Ke had a verbal conflict with Eddie just now, and if Eddie was allowed to observe it closely, he would definitely see that something was wrong.
Although Absolon did not speak, his heart was already entangled.
"Well, well, this was discussed yesterday. Zheng Ke said directly.
Again, this answer surprised the three of them.
Absolon covered his face with one hand, Zheng Ke's courage was really big.
As soon as Romon and Eddie enter the kitchen, the atmosphere in the kitchen immediately becomes very strange. The eyes of many chefs fell on Eddie and Romon.
"There's one thing I need to make. Zheng Ke opened the refrigerator and took out a few whole chickens from it, "After you come in, don't speak, the other chefs are also cooking." ”
Eddie nodded, to be honest, he wasn't interested in watching other people's cooking, and he wasn't necessarily interested in watching Zheng Ke's cooking process.
Zheng Ke agreed to his request, and he didn't speak, but took out the whole chicken to wash away the smell of blood on the meat. After cleaning, he pulls out a piece of kitchen paper, wipes off the water stains on the surface of the chicken, and lays the whole chicken flat on the cutting board.
Pick up the knife, the knife fell, cut off the head of the chicken, and then, Zheng Ke picked up the knife again, along the back bone of the chicken, from the neck to the tail, cut the chicken in half, and then put half of it flat on the cutting board, gently pat it with the knife surface until the meat became crispy, and then cut it into small pieces of meat square.
After four days of practice, Zheng Ke also had a certain experience in mastering the "realm". Next, there is the superposition effect of the "Heart of God" and the "Realm" under the effect of the "Two Hearts".
In the East, Zheng Ke has also superimposed the two more than once, and now he is more proficient in the use of "realm". What effect they can achieve now, this is also what Zheng Ke is looking forward to.
The kitchen knife quickly cuts and the chicken becomes a uniform size nugget.
Eddie and Luo Meng stared intently at Zheng Ke's kitchen knife, speechless for a long time.
At this age, very few people can achieve this kind of knife skill, not even the students of Lanji Academy.
Let's not talk about the cooking skills of the little Chinese chef in front of him, at least, the knife work can make many people shut up.
Seeing this, an idea popped up in the minds of the two people at the same time - how did such a young Chinese chef get here?
Zheng Ke's attention focused on the ingredients in front of him.
Pour the cut chicken pieces into the porcelain basin, then add Shao wine, salt, an appropriate amount of egg white and dry starch, stir at a constant speed, so that the seasoning and dry starch are evenly spread on the muscle pieces and pickled.
After doing all this, Zheng Ke picked up another spring bamboo shoot, peeled it, cut it into diamond-shaped pieces, and swung the knife a few points faster than before.
