Chapter 42: Let Me Try
At first glance, this three tigers looked like the kind of people in the village who entered the city, looked honest, and had never experienced a big scene, and when they heard that Zhao Xiaobao asked him to represent the competition, their legs trembled: "Master, master, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”
didn't fight first, and he had already lost in momentum. Zhao Xiaobao shook his head secretly, sighed and said, "Don't worry, you try to compete, I won't blame you if you lose." ”
Hearing Zhao Xiaobao say this, the three tigers relieved their pressure a little, and took a step forward to stand in front of the board.
"Senior Brother Sanhu, you came more than two years earlier than me, but you can be regarded as my senior, you have to let me a little bit when you compete. Although Ah Ming said to let the three tigers give way, the expression and tone of his voice were extraordinarily proud, and he didn't look at the three tigers at all.
"Amin, where did you come from, the entire kitchen hall knows that although you are the latest to come, your talent is the best, and I can't compare to you. ”
One of the two people is extraordinary, with a confident confidence in winning the battle, and the other is extremely unconfident, just looking at the momentum of the two people, who wins and who loses basically does not need to compare to see the difference.
At this time, the head chef, who was the referee, asked the question: "If you test your knife skills, it's better than cutting shredded potatoes." ”
The fair head chef is actually a bit biased towards the weak Three Tigers, because cutting shredded potatoes is the most basic way to test knife skills, and generally speaking, there is nothing fancy to play with. If you cut the others, there will be too many fancy knife techniques, and the Three Tigers are not Ah Ming's opponents.
"Sanhu, you are a senior brother, you cut it first. ”
Ah Ming smiled slightly, and it could be heard from the sentence that this Ah Ming is also a sinister character, because whenever it is a game, the pressure on the first person to appear is the greatest.
However, the three tigers were not sure about this competition at all, they just wanted to finish the competition as soon as possible, and they didn't excuse themselves when they heard the words, so they picked up the kitchen knife, and then took out a potato weighing about half a kilogram from the basket on the side.
Since it is a test of knife skills, even if you peel potatoes, you can only use a knife, not a planer.
In fact, Sanhu was an apprentice for three years, during which he peeled potatoes and cut countless shredded potatoes, which should have been handy. It's a pity that his psychological quality is too poor, and when he learned that this competition was about the ownership of 10,000 yuan, his heart was messy, and when he peeled potatoes, the kitchen knife almost cut his hand several times.
When cutting shredded potatoes, the posture is even more wrong, clumsy, like a rookie who has just entered the industry, not at all like a chef apprentice with three years of experience in cutting vegetables.
Watching the three tigers finish cutting the shredded potatoes on the plate, all the spectators shook their heads, the potato slices were not thin enough, and the thickness of the shreds was uneven, and there was a messy feeling on the plate.
Jiang Yan also shook his head when he saw it, yesterday he saw the shredded potatoes cut by the three tigers, which was better than the current one, but it was a pity that his psychological quality was too poor, which affected his performance. Zhao Xiaobao lost 10,000 yuan unjustly.
Next is Ah Ming, the three tigers' plate of not very successful cut shredded potatoes made Ah Ming more confident, he took out a potato, raised one hand at eyebrow level, and the right hand quickly took out the knife, the potato skin fell one after another, and the skin was skin, without a little potato meat.
Then slice and shred, only to hear the sound of the knife cutting on the knife board, very pleasant and rhythmic, just this hand, the three tigers were thrown down far away.
Then look at Ah Ming's cut of the shredded potatoes on the plate, the silk is in the button, the thickness is even, and the placement is orderly, which looks very eye-catching.
If it weren't for Jiang Yan's already possessed the skills of "male god cooking", whether it was cooking or cutting vegetables, he would definitely not be able to help but applaud when he saw Ah Ming's performance.
After the two competed, Chen Xingui glanced at Zhao Xiaobao with a smug face, and then said to the head chef: "Chef, the game is over, now please be a fair referee to decide who loses and who wins." ”
The table of the two people just now is obvious to everyone, and the two plates of shredded potatoes are also there, and it is also clear who cuts better and whose knife is also a matter of sight.
Therefore, the head chef glanced at Zhao Xiaobao helplessly, and whispered: "Ah Ming has won." ”
"Haha, Master Bao, if you want to gamble, you have to admit defeat. Chen Xingui snapped his fingers, then stretched out a hand to Zhao Xiaobao, put his thumb, middle finger and index finger together and pinched it.
Although Zhao Xiaobao was unwilling, it was a fact that his apprentice's skills were not as good as others, so he took out a thick envelope from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xingui: "This is the salary I just paid, a full 10,000 yuan, and I haven't covered it yet." ”
Although 10,000 yuan is not much, it is also a bit of a weight in your hand. A plate of shredded potatoes allowed him to win 10,000 yuan, Chen Xingui was happy, looking at Zhao Xiaobao's dejected appearance of his master and apprentice, and said with a smile: "Master Bao, I didn't say you, you became a chef earlier than me, and your qualifications are older than me, but look at the apprentices you bring, none of them can become a big -----."
Seeing that Zhao Xiaobao's master and apprentice had their heads hooked into the trousers, Chen Xingui was even more proud: "Ah Bao, don't say that I won't give you a chance to win back this 10,000 yuan, if you can send another apprentice to compare with Ah Ming, you can get your money back if you win, and you don't have to lose money if you lose." ”
Chen Xingui's words seem to have taken advantage of Zhao Xiaobao, but in fact, it is a kind of naked humiliation of Zhao Xiaobao, bullying his mother's family.
Of course, Zhao Xiaobao understood the meaning of this sentence, although he knew that his subordinates were incompetent, he didn't want to lose this breath, and looked at several apprentices and said, "You have all heard Master Chen's words, who of you dares to compete for me again?"
Ah Ming's sword skills just now are obvious to everyone, and none of Zhao Xiaobao's apprentices have the confidence to win him, and they all shake their heads like rattles. Although you don't have to lose anything, you can't afford to lose that face in front of everyone's eyes.
"Haha, it's really a soldier, a nest of bears, the master can't do it, and the apprentice naturally doesn't have the guts. Chen Xingui found the handle of ridicule again.
None of the apprentices dared to stand up, and Zhao Xiaobao also felt that his face was gloomy, he really lost both money and people today, and was about to leave in disgrace, when a voice said: "Why don't I try it." ”
Zhao Xiaobao was overjoyed in his heart, but when he saw the person who spoke clearly, he suddenly lost his anger again: "Jiang Yan, you, you only go to work the next day today, so forget it." ”
"Master, anyway, no one is willing to compare, just let me try, I can't make people laugh at our lack of guts." Jiang Yan had been thinking about how to help Zhao Xiaobao win back the 10,000 yuan just now, how could he let it go now that he had such an opportunity?
Zhao Xiaobao saw Jiang Yan's persistence, stunned for a moment, and still nodded.
Chen Xingui over there saw that it was Jiang Yan who stood up, and he had already laughed with the apprentices, even the head chef shook his head, Jiang Yan only went to work the next day, I'm afraid he didn't even learn how to hold a knife, and now he actually has to compete with others in knife skills, isn't it funny.
