Chapter 497: The ability to end here
Ruan Qian's work was not satisfactory in the eyes of the professional judges. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Miao had already expected this.
Ruan Qian's craftsmanship did not leave a particularly deep impression on Su Miao, the celebrity chef is also half a taster, as far as Su Miao is concerned, she has a certain appreciation of food, plus she is a chef herself, she can look at the works of other peers more objectively from the two aspects of a taster and a professional. In the first game, she felt that she and Ruan Qian were not all the way, in her opinion, Ruan Qian was completely an honor student, whether it was the idea of the dish, the cooking method or the craftsmanship was completely taught by a famous teacher, the gorgeous appearance, the salty and moderate taste, after tasting it will not leave the aftertaste of the taste, the style of the dish is quite a master's feeling, but unfortunately the taste is unsatisfactory, it is not unpalatable or the taste is not good, maybe the expectations for his dishes are too high, Nguyen Qian's dishes give people a feeling of emptiness. If you want to evaluate it more bluntly, the dish he cooks is just a dish, which lacks soul, is slightly rigid, and very empty. To put it more bluntly, it's too flashy.
Nine silk soup is the signature dish of Kam Bao Lou, in which all the ingredients are carefully selected and expensive, and the dried white tofu made by the ancestral secret method of Kam Bao Lou is the main ingredient. Gan Bao Lou's dried white tofu is a must in the whole Liang, and Gan Bao Lou even has a set of banquets that all use dried white tofu as the main ingredient, with such fine materials and Ruan Qian's skills accumulated over the years, plus the subtlety of the cooking method of Jiusi soup, this dish is very good, but the final result is only very good. Ruan Qian is very hard-working, serious, and has a positive attitude, but his ability ends here, that's all.
The work that Su Miao took out to compete with the Jiusi soup is the three fresh casseroles she wants to eat the most today, using fresh shrimp, chicken, soft cake rolls, and winter bamboo shoots as raw materials, cut into long strips and lined up in the casserole. Vermicelli, meat skin, cabbage cut into long sections, as well as the meat balls and fish balls made by her the day before, all the ingredients are placed in a casserole, then covered with ham slices, with aged Shao wine, salt, clear soup, and lard as condiments, and slowly stewed on low heat until crispy.
Because the shrimp and chicken are easy to cook, the skin of the meat is processed in advance, and it doesn't take much time to stew this dish. In terms of raw materials, Su Miao did not choose too deliberately, the fresh goods were selected when the fish market opened in the early morning, and the green vegetables were purchased directly from the farmer's house.
Rao is so, Su Miao is still victorious, just because the taste of the three fresh casseroles suddenly reminds people of the warmth, tranquility and peace brought by the simple fishermen on the blue coast when the warm sun breaks through the cold wind and warmly shines on the roof.
"Warmth" is the theme of this time, but "warm" is not a kind of temperature, it represents a feeling, a feeling of gentleness, tranquility, peace, and pleasure.
The three-fresh casserole is a dish that can make people feel happy, and it will make the mood of the person who tastes it suddenly happy and bright.
Nine silk soup is a dish that can make people's bodies warm in the howling north wind.
Nguyen Tien suffered a heavy defeat by a vote of 0 to 20.
Ruan Qian didn't care too much, making Su Miao feel that he was really a good-tempered person, even if he lost so badly, he was still smiling, such a good-tempered person Su Miao felt that he liked him a little.
"It's really a blood swallow!" Ruan Qian and Su Miao's competition was quite harmonious, and they had already tasted each other's works on the stage while the judges were busy eating offstage.
"This blood swallow was purchased from Siam." Ruan Qian said with a smile.
Su Miao was taken aback, her eyes lit up, and she said: "It is worthy of a time-honored restaurant, and the financial resources of Ganbaolou are really amazing!" ”
"Because it's the signature dish of Ganbao Building." Ruan Qian smiled humbly, just like his name.
"Shark fin, right?" Su Miao pointed to the soup bowl in her hand and said.
Ruan Qian had an admiring expression on his face and said with a smile: "Second Miss Su is not only skilled in her skills, but also has a smart tongue. ”
"This soup is gorgeous!" Su Miao sighed.
"If the girl is free, she can come to Ganbaolou, the nine-silk soup made by my father is better than mine, it is the authentic nine-silk soup, and I am just an imitation."
"If you say 'imitation' on the stage, you will lose if you don't do it." Su Miao is serious and authentic.
"I know my craft very well." Ruan Qian said to her with a smile.
The later ending was really Ruan Qian's loss.
Su Miao also felt a little regretful, this regret is not the sympathy of the winner for the loser, she is not arrogant to that point, Ruan Qian is a very serious person, and the reality did not give him a serious gift for his efforts, but mocked his efforts with two consecutive defeats.
"The dishes cooked by Miss Su have a warm taste, which can make people feel comfortable and at ease, and they can't see the darkness, there is such a feeling." When the audience left the seat after the game, Ruan Qian came over and said to Su Miao with a smile.
Such a smile made Su Miao feel even more regretful, and after a pause, she smiled slightly and said:
"I've benefited a lot from playing against Nguyen Gongzi."
"The girl's craftsmanship is better than mine, and the comfort of 'benefiting a lot' makes me ashamed." Ruan Qian smiled and said.
"It's not a comforting word, I like Ruan Gongzi's seriousness and rigor and concentration that will not waver no matter what happens." Su Miao said seriously.
Ruan Qian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to hear such a serious evaluation after his two rounds of fiasco, from the opponent's appreciation of him, he was quite surprised, laughed, paused, restrained his desire to socialize, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice:
"I only have rigor and concentration left, my ability has come to an end, it's just that I can make good dishes, like Miss Su through the dishes I cook to bring various experiences to the people who taste it, I can only think about it but can't do it, I don't have such understanding and aura, this is not something that can be done through seriousness or hard work, I envy Miss Su for having that kind of talent."
Su Miao didn't know what to say for a while.
No matter what kind of skill it is, there is always a talent in it, and this innate talent is indeed not simply made up for by acquired efforts and hard work, but those who grow up in forcing themselves to work hard can only say that they have stimulated their hidden talents. Hard work is very important, innate talent is even more important, no talent, even if you work hard, in the end you will only win a gentle compliment - "this fool who overworks".
Ruan Qian's ability has indeed ended here, his ability has matured and grown to the peak, and it is by no means to continue to grow further, his future road is to go downhill except to keep going straight.
"I think," Su Miao pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and said to him with a smile, "Ruan Gongzi came to be the owner of Ganbaolou, Ganbaolou will definitely be more prosperous than now, Ruan Gongzi and I are both running restaurants, in my opinion, the two most important points in running a restaurant: one is the warmth of the dishes; Second, the atmosphere is warm. Ruan Gongzi's food is very warm, Ruan Gongzi's people are also very warm, and the restaurant run by Ruan Gongzi will definitely be twice as warm, which is the biggest magic weapon for the restaurant to win. Ganbao Lou run by someone like Ruan Gongzi, I will definitely want to be a regular customer, this is not a kind word, Ruan Gongzi's craftsmanship makes me feel very comfortable, a peaceful taste, although faint, but very soft. ”
Ruan Qian looked at her stunned, looked at her for a long time, and smiled.
"Thank you, Miss Su." He said.
On the stage, the two opponents of the game actually appeared after a game with a large gap in scores, which made the spectators feel incredibly peaceful and harmonious.
"It's a bit boring." Su Chan leaned on the back of the chair with her feet forked, her hands propped behind her head, very bored.
"That little brother looks pretty handsome." Su Xian stared at Ruan Qian's face, her red lips hooked into a sultry smile.
Su Chan was dumbfounded and glanced at her with disgust.
"Where are you going?" In the back row, Happy suddenly spoke up and asked suspiciously.
"You care about me!" Ruan Shuang glared at him impatiently, twisted his head, and left.
Happy squinted his eyes and looked at her and walked away without looking back, his mouth pursed, and he made a gesture of wanting to whistle, but he didn't blow, he stared straight at Ruan Shuang's back, thoughtful.
"Ruan Shuang's temper is so bad these days!" Chun Niang said with a flat mouth.
"When you want to get married, you always have to be irritable for a while before you get married, especially if you have to marry that kind of person." Su Xian said lazily and casually.
"Eldest sister, what do you mean!" I was so happy that I almost jumped up from the back seat.
"Huh!" Su Xian glanced at him and laughed meaninglessly.
The joy became more and more angry, and he was about to grab the back collar of the aftertaste and shake it when he rushed forward: "Small-taste-taste!" Tell them that when I was young, everyone said I was more handsome than you! ”
Aftertaste had been sensitively dodged long before he pounced, and in his murderous eyes was a capital "roll" word, and the threat of "screaming again will kill you".
"Little Taste!" Su Miao pounced from a distance, grabbed his sleeve, and said with a smile, "I made an appointment with Ruan Qian to go to Ganbaolou to eat Jiusi soup in the evening, I want to eat dried white tofu more than that, let's go together!" ”
Aftertaste nodded pleasantly and touched her head.
Happy blue face, muttered in a low voice: "The difference in treatment is really big, I'm going to be sad!" ”
"I'm going too!" Su Chan didn't treat herself as an outsider at all.
The aftertaste looks at the past coldly.
Su Chan was stunned and pretended not to see.
"Yes, yes." Su Miao responded with a smile.
"The brocade building on the street of Ganbaolou has entered a batch of new goods in the past two days, and I haven't had time to see it, so it's just right, go early, and go to the brocade building by the way." Su Xian said with interest.
The aftertaste looks at the past coldly.
Su Xian didn't see it.
"Yes, yes." Su Miao said with the same interest.
Looking up at the sky, what is he? Take the foil with you? It's not a date for two, but a family dinner?
"Are you going?" Su Miao asked Chunniang.
"Don't go, I'm going to the academy to send a quilt to the papers, the weather is cold, and it will be cold without a thick quilt." Chun Niang said, grabbed Lin Yan, and said with a smile, "Xiao Linzi will accompany me, and we will go to buy snacks from Ruwenlou on the way, because the silver is limited, you go to eat Ganbaolou, and we won't take your share." ”
"It doesn't matter, what is your relationship with the clerk now?" Su Xian asked coldly.
"Relationship?" Chun Niang was stunned.
"A girl's family makes a quilt for a man...... Su Xian wanted to ask her if she had water in her head.
Chun Niang immediately had a serious expression and explained seriously: "Not only the clerical ones, but I also did Ning Le's, they are difficult enough to study in the Ruwen Academy, and it costs money everywhere, this kind of trivial matter can be saved, and it is not difficult to make two quilts, so I will help them do it." ”
Su Xian didn't know whether to praise her kindness or not.
"I read the paperwork very well in the academy." Su Miao said to the aftertaste.
Huiwei nodded: "Mr. told him to end this time, and His Royal Highness King Xiang is also very optimistic about him." ”
"Do you think if he gets a good test in the future, will there be a big official recruiting him?" Su Miao asked with a grin.
"If you want to take a career and have a weak background, you naturally have to find a reliable Yue family." Aftertaste answered.
Su Xian went to pay attention to Chunniang's expression, this girl was too simple, and the expression on her face was too easy to understand, which was really worrying.
Late.
Aftertaste took Su Miao out of the house, and it was Su Xian and Su Chan who led the way in front.
The three sisters first went to the brocade building for a walk, Su Xian took a look in the brocade building, and after struggling with her thoughts for half an hour and choosing a horse of autumn-colored satin, she finally left because her purse was empty and lonely, she let out a long sigh:
"When the hell am I going to be able to live a life where I can buy whatever I want without asking the price?"
"It's easier for you to change your bad habits of buying things indiscriminately than to look forward to living like this." Su Chan said.
Su Xian glanced at her fiercely.
When I arrived at Ganbaolou, it was already dinner time, and there was a lot of traffic in front of Ganbaolou, and business was booming.
The guy who greeted the guests recognized Su Miao and the others according to their appearances, and politely led a few people to the private room and served fragrant tea.
Su Miao ordered Gan Baolou's signature tofu feast, and ordered Jiusi soup.
After a while, Ruan Qian pushed the door and came in, greeting with a smile, he obviously came directly from the back kitchen, wearing a set of smoky gray shorts, wearing sleeves and aprons, and a cotton cloth on his head. As soon as the two sides exchanged a few words, the door was knocked open, and a chubby middle-aged man dressed as a chef came in from outside, followed by Ruan Shuang, who finally changed back to normal girl clothes and wore a pink Liuxian dress.
Ruan Qian hurriedly introduced: "This is my father. ”
Ruan Qian's father bowed his hand again and again, smiled politely, and greeted: "In Xia Ruan Xu, the dog has been taken care of by you. ”
The three sisters of the Su family stood up one after another, Su Miao said a few polite words, Ruan's father heard that Su Miao came over to taste the nine-silk soup he made, he was very happy, and left Ruan Shuang to accompany him, and went to the kitchen to make nine-silk soup for Su Miao.
Ruan Qian also went to the kitchen to get busy.
Ruan Shuang stayed in the private room, she was not in a high mood, she was dumbfounded, and she was like two people who were usually lively and cheerful.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Miao took a sip of tea and asked suspiciously. (To be continued.) )
