Chapter 286: Knife Work

Mr. Tony was walking back and forth, looking at the chefs who were cutting tofu, his face was a little ugly - a Western chef, who had never practiced such delicate knife skills, what could he instruct?

Among the five chefs, the weakest knife foundation is undoubtedly Kwong Dafu. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The chefs of the other four hotels, all of them are real celebrity chefs, with a solid foundation, and have worked for twenty or thirty years, and they are very experienced, and it is not difficult to cut thousands of threads.

I saw that the chef of Lingnan Restaurant had a neat knife technique, first cut the tender tofu into thin slices, then spread the tofu slices on the cutting board, then cut into shreds, touch the side of the knife with the index finger, and slowly cut the straight knife, and the knife light continued to fall to the tofu blocks.

Ordinary knife workers can hold the raw materials with their hands, but they can't cut tofu, and they must hang their wrists.

The chef of Lingnan Restaurant is very fast, his hands are extremely stable, and his knife is extremely accurate.

After a set of knife techniques, the tofu slices seemed to be still complete, but when he put the tofu into a basin filled with clean water and gently slashed it, thousands of evenly sized tofu shreds appeared.

Such exquisite knife work immediately attracted the amazement of countless audiences.

"Wow...... What an amazing knife technique!"

"At least twenty or thirty years of skill, it's amazing!"

The chef of Lingnan Restaurant was the first to complete the tofu cutting assessment, and raised his hands to accept the audience's worship.

"Mr. Tony, look at the chef of Lingnan Restaurant, what a magical knife worker!" At this time, the hostess of the TV station let out an exclamation, and the director asked the photographer to cut the camera over and take a close-up of the chef and the shredded tofu in the pot respectively.

Hearing this, Tony glanced at the chef of the Lingnan Restaurant, and barely squeezed out a smile on his face.

The hostess approached the chef of the Lingnan restaurant, took a closer look at the shredded tofu in the basin, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, what a beautiful knife work! What do you think of Master Tony? I wonder what you think of this master?"

"This master's knife work is indeed excellent. ”

Tony first said a polite sentence, and then continued, "But a chef puts all his effort into knife skills, it is a bit wasteful, after all, a dish is OK or not, it depends on its ingredients, materials and heat, knife skills are not the most important ......"

Only by pressing the other party can he appear to be more high-end, and when Tony said this, he didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the chef of the Lingnan restaurant.

The chef of Lingnan Restaurant was angry, but when he saw the camera filming him, he had to barely keep smiling and ignore Tony's comments at all.

Wang Gangdan's face in the audience is even darker, this fake foreign devil is openly provoking!

Tony's words sound a little reasonable, but in fact, they are completely inconsistent with what Chinese chefs say.

The so-called no knife is not a dish, seven points of cooking skills are on the case, and three points are on the fire.

A chef's knife skills not only affect the color of the dishes, but also affect the taste and nutrition of the dishes.

Many connoisseurs present were very disdainful of Tony in their hearts, believing that this guy was just a golden jade, and he was ruined.

If it weren't for the face-saving Red Bank Restaurant Group, I'm afraid many people would have scolded this guy in public.

Tony only felt countless murderous auras coming at him, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck a little weakly.

"Hey, Chef Tony's opinion is a bit peculiar, do you think knife work is not a necessary skill for chefs?" asked the hostess with a grin.

This question is a bit heart-wrenching, after all, Western food also needs to practice basic knife skills.

A chef who doesn't know how to use a chopping board is really not up to par.

But at this time, Tony could only blow hard, "Yes, I think we should spend more time studying the proportion of seasonings and the nutritional combination between ingredients, in order to achieve the integration of taste and nutrition, and find a perfect balance between them......

Now even the host can't listen to it, and he said in his heart, only talking about collocation, not even mentioning the heat?

I'm afraid your level is very limited!

You must know that this hostess, who has hosted more than a dozen chef competitions, has a certain understanding of cooking, and she is very disdainful of Tony who can only brag in her heart.

"If it weren't for the fact that the Red Bank Catering Group is a big financier, the old lady wouldn't bother to say more to this guy!"

The hostess secretly disliked Tony in her heart, but she still kept a smile on her face, and she decided to try to downplay Tony's existence, so as not to misunderstand that the program team is a stupid fork.

In the following filming, the hostess really didn't deliberately ask Tony any more questions, and communicated directly with the chef who was chopping vegetables.

At this time, Tony suddenly saw that Kwong Dafu's movements were the slowest and clumsiest among the chefs, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said in his heart, "I have to let him get out of trouble!"

Tony deliberately approached Kuang Dafu and said triumphantly, "Everyone, please see, this chef's knife skills are obviously not up to par, you see that his hand holding the knife is still trembling, he must not usually use a straight knife...... Hmph, it must be from a food stall!"

Kuang Dafu raised his head, glanced at Tony, and found that there was no camera next to him, and there was no host, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Zhu Zhuangshi, who are you talking to?"

Tony looked left and right, his face was dark,, the people on this TV station are too bullying, but the old lady is the representative of the Red Bank Group?

"Kuang Dafu, what kind of spicy chicken knife worker do you dare to come to the competition?" Seeing that the camera was not there, Tony simply started taunting.

"No matter how bad my knife skills are, they are better than you...... "Kuang Dafu said leisurely, "What's more, the proportion of knife skills is not high, the most important thing is the taste of the dish!"

"The food you cook is at the level of a food stall, what to pretend!" Tony sneered.

"You don't have to worry about this......

While speaking, each chef has completed the knife competition, and according to the process, the dishes are presented to the judges one by one.

The chrysanthemum tofu of Lingnan Restaurant, the cucumber orchid of Taoyuanju and so on all amazed the judges, but the judges were a little stunned by the contents of the last plate.

There is a pile of shredded cucumbers in the center of the plate, there is no plating, and even the shredded cucumbers have a visible difference in size!

Such a good and unrefined placement, such a messy knife technique, are you sure you are not here to make up the numbers?

Just as the judges questioned this dish, Mr. Huang said lightly, "This cutting method seems to be chaotic, but it actually shows a trace of casual ......"

In addition to Mr. Huang giving a high score, the other judges gave bad reviews, and looked at Mr. Huang with a strange face, this girl has been bought!

The female choreographer also looked disappointed, is this restaurant really just an ordinary level?

This is the host who spoke again, "Don't be discouraged, after all, Mr. Tony also said that knife work is not that important, so keep going!"

Soon ushered in the second link, the formal cooking competition.
