Chapter 685: Devil Egg
There are sixty new students, each of whom has a cooking table in front of them, and on top of it is a mysterious box that contains something that cannot be seen, which makes people very curious.
According to Li Xuyang, this contains the things that will be used in this assessment, that is, novices participating in the assessment have to cook from the materials contained in this mysterious box, and the time limit is only twenty minutes.
Regardless of what is inside, it is only twenty minutes, which really scares people enough, although some quick cooking can be done in a few minutes, but no one knows what is inside the mystery box, these twenty minutes, it seems a bit excessive.
As if seeing everyone's embarrassment, Li Xuyang said again: "Don't worry, these are all very ordinary ingredients, and each of you has cooked them." ”
As soon as I heard this, many people's hearts were also calm, if it was a familiar ingredient, then it would be much easier, in case a leg of crocodile meat came, it would take 30 minutes just to stew, let alone make it into a dish, and the time to cook it was not enough.
But despite this, it is still a very curious thing to know what ingredients are in this mystery box, although it is an ingredient that everyone has cooked, so it means that even vegetarians have made things, so it can basically be ruled out as meat.
Vegetables?
If it's a pure vegetable, it's probably not easy to play, so Sikong Yao thought about it for a while, I'm afraid it's more likely to be a dessert. Sikong Yao's heart suddenly rejoiced, if it was an assessment dessert. Then she is not afraid at all, after all, it is her old job, and if she loses to others, it will be too embarrassing.
But even this is a problem, the twenty-minute time limit, then it should not be something that needs to be refrigerated or baked, roughly speaking, it should be a pie or a light oil biscuit, and the dough is tenth, and bake for five minutes. Plus conception and decoration. Twenty minutes is about the same, since this is the case, that is to say, this assessment is a test of basic skills.
Thinking of this, Sikong Yao was suddenly full of confidence. But when she saw what was inside the Mystic River. In my heart, I was a little disappointed. Because inside...... Only eggs?
Looking at that egg, all the freshmen fell into a daze, what does this mean. What is only one egg to make for them?
There was a sudden burst of discussion at the assessment venue, and Li Xuyang signaled everyone to be quiet, and at the same time explained: "What we want to assess today is the most basic egg dish, the most common appetizer in Western food, devil eggs!" ”
Devil eggs are a very common dish in Western food, a kind of appetizer, there are no particularly surprising allusions, and it is not complicated to make, and its cooking difficulty is basically the same as the scrambled eggs in our Chinese cuisine.
First, put an appropriate amount of water in the pot to boil, gently put the eggs into the boiling water, boil for 5 minutes, take out the boiled eggs and immerse them in cold water to cool, remove the egg shell, cut the egg in half lengthwise, dig out the egg yolk, put it in a bowl, crush the egg yolk with a spoon, then make the egg yolk into mayonnaise, add white vinegar, mustard, black pepper, salt and mix thoroughly, and finally put the well-mixed egg yolk into the piping belt, and squeeze the egg yolk in the egg white plain.
To put it simply, saving is boiling eggs, cutting them, making mayonnaise, and squeezing flowers, which can be regarded as a fast dish, and if you are a little more proficient, you can do it in ten minutes.
But the simpler it is, the more confused Sikong Yao becomes, can this devil egg be regarded as a test? Although it is a classic appetizer in Western food, what tricks can be compared with this?
After a while, Li Xuyang explained: "Our assessment this time is a test of your basic skills, everyone must do more than ten devil eggs, this is the minimum standard, and secondly, on the basis of ten, sort according to the excess quantity, and then take forty qualified people to enter the cooking group, that is to say, to ensure quality and quantity, unqualified devil eggs we will not count in the number of audits, please be careful." ”
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a lot of heated discussions, and it turned out to be a test of quantity, which can be difficult for some people whose hand speed is not fast enough, or whose cooking style is slow and methodical.
Hearing the controversy that broke out below, Li Xuyang drank it and ordered everyone to keep quiet: "What's the noise!" If you don't want to participate in the assessment, you can leave now, if you want to enter the cyan Pegasus, you must have the consciousness that you are the elite, and our requirements for the elite have always been the strictest, if you are willing to be ordinary, you can leave immediately, and we will not beg you to join the cyan Pegasus! ”
As soon as these words came out, the criticism below was immediately suppressed, but I didn't expect this deputy head to be a violent temper, which scared some people's hearts. But Sikong Yao is happy, this deputy head is really interesting, he dares to drive the students out, it seems that this cyan Pegasus also has some strength.
Looking at the egg in front of him, Sikong Yao smiled and said, "Okay, then let me give it a try, how difficult is the challenge of this devil egg!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Li Xuyang announced that there were enough ingredients on the ingredient cabinet on the side, and the students could ask for them by themselves, and then return to their cooking table to start cooking.
With Li Xuyang's order, the exam began to enter the countdown stage, and dozens of people immediately took the frame to get the ingredients, and the speed was staggering, comparable to squeezing the bus.
Looking at such a lively scene, Liu Ke walked to Li Xuyang's side and said with a smile: "It's really energetic, it reminds me of the time last year, when I was like this, running around to get ingredients." ”
Li Xuyang scolded with a smile: "You still dare to say it? As a chef, you have to stay calm at all times, you have to follow every step of the cooking, and keep your work organized, and the person who goes to get the ingredients at this time is a fool. And those who stay where they are are the masters. ”
Liu Ke looked up and saw that there were really six people still staying in place, and their movements were surprisingly consistent, they all bent down and took out an iron pot from the cabinet, then turned on the stove and began to boil water!
Li Xuyang explained: "Boiling eggs needs to be ordered, and the water must be boiled before the eggs can be put in, otherwise the boiling time will be increased, and the taste of the eggs will deteriorate." While waiting for the water to boil, you can only wait, and even if you get the eggs, it's useless, so what you should do at first is to boil the water! ”
Liu Ke suddenly realized that the first step of cooking does not necessarily start with the preparation of ingredients.
Li Xuyang also said: "When the exam question of devil eggs was revealed, I deliberately spent time explaining the steps of making devil eggs with them, in order to leave them time to think and sort out the order of cooking, but there are still so many people who do not understand this." ”
Liu Ke shrugged and said, "Okay, senior, don't be so angry, aren't these six people?" It's much better than we did last year, and in my last year, only Shen Lan noticed this. ”
Li Xuyang looked at the remaining six people, and silently remembered their appearance in his heart, the chef needs to comprehend, these students are already qualified, as long as they can meet the standard of ten devil eggs, they can enter the cyan Pegasus.
"You brought that girl?" Li Xuyang pointed at Sikong Yao and asked.
Liu Ke nodded and said, "Well, that's right, it's called Sikong Yao." ”
Li Xuyang said: "Looking at her appearance, she seems to be very skilled?" Compared to the other five people, her expression is much more relaxed, what is the origin? ”
Liu Ke shrugged and said, "I don't know, but she was able to taste which four jams were used in my madeleine shell candy, and it really scared me at the time!" ”
Li Xuyang silently kept the name Sikong Yao in his heart, and at the same time told Liu Kedao: "Go and check, it seems that it should be a good seedling, if it has potential, you can spend some time cultivating it." ”
Liu Ke nodded and said, "Well, I understand." ”
Li Xuyang twisted his neck again, then strode forward, and said, "Okay, it's time for me to clean up the garbage." ”
Except for the six people who stayed to boil water, the remaining fifty-four people actually broke out in front of the food cabinet A battle for ingredients broke out, although the number of ingredients is not a lot, but the fifty-four people crowded together, it seems a little stretched.
Just when a student was struggling to squeeze forward, he was suddenly slapped on the back, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Li Xuyang.
"Unqualified, you can go." Li Xuyang said with a straight face and a cold tone.
"What!" The student who was dismissed by Li Xuyang immediately became anxious, they were still not wrong about anything, why did they fail the assessment?
Seeing that he dared to ask back, Li Xuyang's eyes widened with anger, like a leopard eating people, pointing to a broken egg on the ground and saying, "Who allowed you to waste ingredients!" People who don't respect the ingredients are not qualified to stay in the cyan Pegasus, let me go! ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly became dead, and just because he accidentally broke an egg in the process of fighting, he was judged to have failed the exam, which is really surprising.
With such a precedent, the people who were still arguing and shouting suddenly settled down, and no one dared to touch Li Xuyang's brows, in case one accidentally touched the egg, then the end would be the same as the person just now.
And at this time, Li Xuyang actually shouted again: "And you, you can also go!" (To be continued......)
