PS: This chapter is really difficult to write, and it took me half an hour just to check the information. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the beginning of the month, and those who have a monthly pass will be shocked by one or two monthly passes, and those who don't have a monthly pass will be able to support a few recommended tickets.

Next.

Liu Xing got up at five o'clock in the morning and walked around the exhibition area with his hands behind his back. From the kitchen to the hall, from the hall to the hot pot restaurant next to it, I kept thinking about which dishes to choose.

Kong Xu yawned and came to the exhibition area, looked at his watch, and asked with a surprised face, "What are you doing?" Why did you come so early. ”

Liu Xing turned around and said, "You two don't know how to cook Western food, and only I can figure out this round of the final round." ”

Kong Xu and Song Ruide are both standard Chinese chefs, and the first three rounds can help a little, but when facing Western food, at most cut some side dishes, everything has to be done by Liu Xing himself.

Something like steak, which most hotels will definitely choose. Without the secret ingredient bonus, if the source of taste wants to stand out, it can only come up with some unconventional means. Which three dishes to choose? Liu Xing sat directly on the steps, rubbing his chin and thinking carefully.

It should be rare, the material should be available here, and the most important thing is to meet the taste of the judges. Liu Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, so he chose Paris lobster, red wine pheasant, and potato stewed mutton. Lobster is available in the store, local chicken can also be bought at the farmers' market, not to mention mutton.

Liu Xing was an anxious man, and immediately stood up and beckoned to Song Ruide, and said, "Go to the farmers' market and choose a free-range chicken, two catties of goat meat, and two catties of pork belly......"

Then, he turned his head to Kong Xu and said, "A few days ago, Wu Wenbin gave me a bottle of Louis XIII, you can inform the people in Bishi and ask them to go to the dog fighting shop to bring it to me." ”

Kong Xu asked with some doubts: "What are you doing with wine?" ”

Liu Xing took out a small chicken from the freezer, sprinkled it with chopped green onion and ginger, put it in the pot and began to simmer, and then explained: "When making Paris lobster, you have to use brandy to taste, and Louis XIII is the best kind of brandy." ”

Kong Xu nodded as if he didn't understand, and began to cooperate with Liu Xing to make preliminary preparations. Because there is not much time and many ingredients cannot be found, Liu Xing can only choose some seasonings with similar tastes to match.

Taking advantage of the time of stewing chicken soup, Liu Xing began to chat with Kong Xu about the development plan of the source of taste. The first three rounds of Taste Source passed the competition with five votes, and even if you don't participate in the last round, it is enough to enter your provincial hotel association.

"By the time the food selection was over, the fame of Ajinogen was also outstanding. You have to start recruiting a few Western chefs as soon as possible, preferably a Michelin-starred restaurant chef, and the salary is higher, so we don't have to lose this money. ”

Kong Xu frowned slightly and said, "Do you want to separate the western restaurant from the source of taste, so that it is easy to manage." Although the combination of the source of taste will appear to be relatively high-end, the fundamental concepts of Chinese chefs and Western chefs are different, and it is difficult to coordinate the relationship between the two departments. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing's movements stopped, thought for a while and said, "There are many benefits to separating, but I'm afraid that no one can suppress that group of Western chefs with eyes above the top." When I was in your province, it was okay to say that when I went out to study, it was estimated that there would be a mess in the western restaurant. ”

Kong Xu pulled a chair and sat down, his fingers clattering on the table, his brows furrowed. After a long time, he slapped his thigh and said, "If you want to choose someone who can calm the field and is loyal enough to you, I have a candidate here." ”

Liu Xing's face was overjoyed, and he turned his head and asked, "Tell me about it." ”

"Xie Shengwen, although she is not very old, she has taken care of everything in order within a few days of coming to the branch in your city. And he studied hotel management, and he must have a certain understanding of the business of Western restaurants, which is better than us old men. ”

"I'll think again." Liu Xing turned around and continued to process the ingredients.

Time passed slowly, and three hours passed in the blink of an eye. At about eight o'clock, Song Ruide rushed back with a large bag of ingredients, and then Liu Xing's bottle of Louis XIII also arrived.

Liu Xing opened the bag and checked it, nodded and said, "The ingredients are well chosen." ”

Hearing this, Song Ruide said a little proudly: "I worked as a hotel buyer before I became a chef, and I can tell at a glance whether the ingredients are good or bad." ”

Liu Xing glanced at him and said, "Don't be beautiful, hurry up and deal with the chicken and the big lobster." ”

At a quarter past nine, all the preliminary preparations were done. Liu Xing closed his eyes and carefully recalled the recipe of the three dishes, picked up the kitchen knife to cut the shrimp head and took out the shrimp meat. Then add a spoonful of cream to the hot pan and sauté the diced onion until fragrant.

Wait until the onion starts to turn yellow, then add the lobster meat, shrimp head, and shrimp shell in order and fry it slightly. Carefully take out Louis XIII, pour two tablespoons into the pot, and bring the fire to the pot. Calculating that the time was almost up, Liu Xing poured milk and half a cup of stock into the pot, boiled for about two minutes, then turned off the heat, and took out the shrimp meat for later use.

In the pan next to you, pour three tablespoons of cream, add some flour and stir-fry over low heat. Immediately add three cups of stock, bring to a boil over medium heat, and then turn off the heat to strain out the thick soup. Finally, heat the soup again, stir and add half a bowl of whipped cream to it, sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to stir.

On the operating table, Song Ruide hurriedly brought a plate and put it on the table and began to arrange the plate. Liu Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to process the second dish. Compared with Paris lobster, the method of red wine pheasant is much simpler, and Liu Xing is doing it while chatting with Kong Xu.

When the clock in the exhibition area pointed to ten o'clock, Liu Xing closed the last lid, leaned back on the chair and said, "Let's serve." ”

On the judges' bench, Shen Hao, president of the Guizhou Provincial Hotel Association, showed a trace of worry in his eyes. The source of the taste is a standard Chinese restaurant, so it will be difficult for them to cook Western food.

But then he relaxed, and among the many hotels that participated, except for the source of taste, he got fifteen votes. Other hotels only have a maximum of thirteen votes, and it is a little difficult to get one, but it should not be a problem to enter the top three.

The middle-aged judge looked at the three plates brought up by the source of the taste and couldn't help but lick his lips. After three rounds, he has become a fan of Taste Source. As soon as the three dishes were unveiled, he took a deep sniff of the fragrance without any image, then picked up the chopsticks and stretched them out to the dishes.

Several other judges also stretched out their chopsticks, especially Shen Shao, who pulled half of the three dishes into his plate and began to taste them.

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

Liu Xing couldn't help but give Kong Xu a high-five, the source of taste is the first place!

At this moment, an excited voice came into Liu Xing's mind: "The king of cooking is completed, the intermediate cooking skill is improved to the advanced cooking skill, and the lottery opportunity will be rewarded once." (To be continued.) )
