Chapter 402: A Gathering of Five
After the top 16 were decided, the vast majority of chefs had bid farewell to the World Chef Competition. There are some who are willing to stay and watch the competition and witness the birth of the King Chef, while others are ready to leave and return to their own restaurants to resume their old lives.
Huang Sanshi is such a person, his nostalgia for the late-night canteen has obviously far exceeded that of the World King of Chefs Competition, and after the competition that day, he and Mrs. Wenxu said goodbye.
Although everyone didn't know each other at first, after such a long time of competition, the five people who also came from the Gary Kingdom have formed a deep friendship.
Huang Sanshi wanted to return to the Gary Kingdom early, and the others discussed and held a farewell party for him.
Originally, Mrs. Wenxu proposed that each of the five cooks come up with two dishes and ten dishes to form a table, but Huang Sanshi did not play his cards according to common sense, so he had to invite everyone to a roadside stall for a meal, saying that he liked that kind of atmosphere.
The others had no choice but to let him.
When Mrs. Wenxu and her party appeared at a barbecue stand, the shop that served customers was stupid. Five chefs who broke into the top 100 of the World Chef Contest came to visit, and the owner was very worried about his small restaurant.
Ordinary people may think that this is a good thing, and the celebrity effect can attract more customers, but the owner doesn't think so. These chefs are not those celebrities, and they won't say anything even if it's not delicious.
With the high standards of these top chefs, it is likely that the food you have copied out will get a "hard to swallow" evaluation.
If the word spreads, my store will wait to close.
"Boss, don't be afraid, we won't speak ill of you. Huang Sanshi said with a smile to the shopkeeper. The late-night cafeteria is also a civilian restaurant, so he understands the owner's concerns.
"You're laughing, I'm too late to be happy to have you chefs here. The shopkeeper squeezed out a smile and immediately went back to the backstage to prepare.
Since he couldn't hide from it, he brought out the best food to serve the customers, and the boss decided to go out and bake the food for Sally El and them himself.
"How did you think to come to a roadside stall for dinner?" said Wolfgang with a slight frown. It's not that he looks down on the food here, it's just that these top chefs have a very developed sense of taste, and when they taste the food, they instinctively find all kinds of flaws.
Eating becomes a thorn, which naturally makes people unpleasant. So Wolfgang never goes to other restaurants to eat, and he always does what he wants to eat.
"Actually, it's good to visit a place like this once in a while, and although our cooking skills have improved, we can't forget the essence of cooking. The only thing that satisfies customers is good food, and when you look at the customers around you, they have a lot of fun. Mrs. Wenxu said.
"Or you have insight. Huang Sanshi stretched out his thumb in admiration.
In many cases, the quality of a dish depends not only on its taste, but also on the emotions contained in it.
A few of the chefs chatted here, while the people around them listened attentively. Now Mrs. Wenxu and the five of them are more well-known than most celebrities, and if they hear some inside information, they will be rich.
There are also some people who listen to lectures with the intention of listening to them, and if they learn some life philosophy and success secrets, they can also make a difference.
At first, Mrs. Wenxu and the protagonist of their chat was Huang Sanshi, who was about to return to China, but after chatting, it shifted to Sally Elle, who advanced to the top 16.
"You're the only one left in our Gary Kingdom and you're still on the field, so you must come on. Huang Sanshi said first. When he first met Sally El, he really didn't expect this little girl to be able to reach such heights today, and he was a little embarrassed to think about it.
"It's okay for you to say that I'm under a lot of pressure, but in fact, my goal at the beginning was only to be in the top 100, and it was very unexpected to get such a ranking. Sally El said jokingly.
The human realm is too big, and Sally El has not traveled to various places before, so the little knowledge naturally underestimates her ability. This is also the meaning of a global competition such as the World Chef Competition, through which many chefs can better judge their ability level.
"It's so humble. Next is a showdown of cooking speed, are you confident?" Wolfgang asked.
Sally El shook her head, "The rule is to take a dish from all over the cuisine for us to make, and whoever has the shortest time and meets the taste standard wins." However, there are so many kinds of cuisine in the human world that there are more than just the first dishes in a single country.
Therefore, there is a high possibility of drawing dishes that have never been seen before, and it will be completely up to you to play on the spot. ”
"It's a very difficult test to make something you've never seen before, but it's because you're able to do that that that you're qualified for the title of King Chef, isn't it? Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you still have a lot of room for improvement, and the title of King Chef will fall on your head sooner or later. ”
As the eldest of the five, Mrs. Wenxu has a wealth of life experience, so she can always inspire people when she speaks.
"Thank you for the compliment, but I have to work hard for the title of King Chef this time. Sally El said firmly.
"Guys, you've got what you ordered. The shopkeeper walked out with a plate of freshly grilled meat skewers.
"Thank you. Huang Sanshi took the plate from the shopkeeper's hand, and then directly divided the meat skewers into several portions and placed them in front of Mrs. Wenxu and them, "Don't just chat, eat something." ”
Wolfgang hesitated for a moment and finally picked up a skewer, but instead of eating it with a skewer, he used chopsticks to get the meat on the plate.
As soon as he ate a piece, a whole bunch of questions came straight to Wolfgang's mind. The marinated seasoning is too salty, the taste of cumin is too strong to cover up the taste of the mutton itself, and the roasting heat is not in place to completely release the deliciousness of the mutton......
If his chef had made such a dish, Wolfgang would have smashed the skewer directly on the opponent's head.
He glanced at the others suspiciously, and found that Huang Sanshi and each of them were eating happily.
"Sure enough, my realm is not enough?" Wolfgang muttered to himself, and ate hard.
"If you give up your role as a chef and think of yourself as a diner, the taste of these skewers is not unacceptable. After three skewers of meat, Wolfgang gradually came to a realization.
Seeing that these chefs did not say anything critical, the big stone in the owner's heart finally fell.
