Chapter 306: Ingenuity
The sweet soup seems to have nothing to do with pasta, but the sweet soup made by Shi Jie and the others is mainly glutinous rice, which is naturally a type of pasta. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
What they make is a sweet soup of red bean balls.
A small glutinous rice ball, mixed with some crushed peanuts, just looking at it, you know that it must taste very fragrant. Red dates and red beans are also boiled in the sweet soup, both of which are boiled, and some of the dregs are also filtered out, making the soup look bright and attractive.
After the sweet soup was served, the two of them sprinkled a layer of osmanthus sugar on it, and this was the end of the matter. The combination of osmanthus and red beans is the most perfect taste.
The whole process is simple to say, but in fact it takes a lot of time, mainly to boil red dates and red beans, which takes much more time than ready-made kneading dough and making steamed buns. Fortunately, there are no chefs who spend more time making pasta on site, so the time spent on this sweet soup is not unobtrusive.
"Hey, what kind of soup did Master Shi and Master Zhu make, it's the first time I've seen it!" Gan Yingtong was a little surprised and a little worried, "Isn't the title of the competition pasta?" How did they make the soup! ”
Fu Yonghan explained it to her.
When Gan Yingtong heard that this soup was really related to noodles, he was immediately relieved, and said speechlessly: "These two guys ...... When I played last game, I saw that they were still quite steady, but I didn't expect them to be so risky in this more important game! Wouldn't it be bad if the judges decided that what they made wasn't pasta and went off topic? ”
"Don't worry, it won't." Fu Yonghan comforted, "Although they are indeed a little risky in doing this, as long as they vote for the judges' preferences, it is easy to get a high score." If you look at the whole arena below, there is almost no pasta for sweet soup. Even if there are soups, most of them are relatively ordinary, and they can't be compared with what Shi Jie and the others do. ”
It took a lot of thought to make this sweet soup.
This is also the difference between chefs and chefs.
For the same topic, most of the dishes that come to everyone's mind are different. In order to excel in this kind of competition, in addition to the taste of the dish itself, the selection of ingredients for the dish itself is also very important. Sometimes, one dish is better than another, not necessarily because it tastes better, but it may also mean that the creativity of the dish is better.
With Fu Yonghan, a "professional" chef, commenting on the side, Gan Yingtong, who was originally nervous, finally slowly let go of his worries and began to be in the mood to observe the works of other contestants.
At this look, she realized that several chefs had already completed their works and presented them to the judges!
"How can it be so fast?!" Gan Yingtong exclaimed in a low voice, "Master Shi's glutinous rice balls have just come out of the pot!" ”
Since entering the arena, Gan Yingtong has been pulling Fu Yonghan to speak, so that Ji Xiulang didn't even have a chance to interject. Now listening to Gan Yingtong's shouting, he couldn't help it anymore, and pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "What you see is not the fastest." More than half an hour ago, someone made something and presented it. I look at the expressions of the judges, and I'm quite satisfied with that thing, and I should be able to make the cut. ”
As soon as he said this, not only Gan Yingtong, but even Fu Yonghan was interested: "Who is it?" What to do? I didn't even notice. ”
If the person who asked this was Gan Yingtong, Ji Xiulang might still sell a pass to hang people's appetites, but since the person who asked was Fu Yonghan, he would naturally not have any delay.
Ji Xiulang said without hesitation: "I took a look, it was Master Lai Qingxing of Longjing Hotel, he made a bowl of hand-rolled noodles, although the noodles are simple, but the noodles are not simple." There are a lot of things added to the sauce, and the main ingredient seems to be the most ordinary pork. Although I can't smell the smell of the bowl of noodles, I know that it must be very fragrant, and it is definitely not simple. ”
Longjing Hotel is also well-known in Ganzhou City, and the food in the hotel is also talked about by the citizens. Lai Qingxing is the head chef of Longjing Hotel, although he is not a special chef, but he is second only to a special chef, and his skills are very high. I heard that Lai Qingxing goes to take the special chef exam every year, but he is always a little bit short of the heat, and he has never been able to get the title of special chef.
However, even if Lai Qingxing is not a special chef, those who are familiar with him will not underestimate his craftsmanship.
In the face of capable people, Ji Xiulang has always been very respectful.
So even if Ji Xiulang and Lai Qingxing don't have any friendship, he is still willing to honor Lai Qingxing and call Master Lai.
"Zangzi noodles are Master Lai's forte!" Gan Yingtong also knew something about Lai Qingxing, and patted his thigh and said, "I have been to Longjing Hotel several times, and every time I have to eat the noodles made by Master Lai!" If it weren't for your cousin, I would have almost forgotten that there is such a powerful person as Master Lai in this competition, this question is simply too cheap for him! ”
"What to take advantage of, that's Master Lai's ability." Ji Xiulang crossed Fu Yonghan and knocked on Gan Yingtong's head.
Each chef has his or her own area of expertise, and they also have their own specialties. can participate in such a food competition, and the question cannot exactly show everyone's ability, unless it is an indefinite topic.
Therefore, what kind of problem they encounter is a matter of complete luck for the participating chefs.
Isn't there a saying that luck is also a kind of strength?
Gan Yingtong unhappily touched the place where his head was knocked, and secretly complained in his heart that his cousin was too ruthless, and said curiously: "With Master Lai's ability, he should be able to participate in the finals directly, right?" How did it start with the preliminary round? ”
Ji Xiulang shook his head and said: "Although it is indeed easy to participate in the finals directly and also shows your identity, there are also other benefits to starting the competition from the preliminary round." If nothing else, at least there are a lot more opportunities to show your face, which is a very good publicity opportunity for the contestants themselves and the restaurants they represent. ”
Obviously, the idea of the Dragon View Hotel is to slowly rise through the competition until it becomes famous.
Although Lai Qingxing's cooking skills are not low, he is not young, he is almost fifty years old. He doesn't know if he will be able to become a superchef in his life, and in addition to making further progress in his cooking skills, Lai Qingxing's biggest wish is to make his old club Longjing Hotel famous once.
Even a small restaurant opened by a young man like Yongji Restaurant can be famous, not to mention the Longjing Hotel where he personally sits?
That's right, even people like Lai Qingxing, who don't go online and don't gossip much, have also heard of the name of Yongji Restaurant. (To be continued.) )
