Chapter 216: A Rivalry
Seeing that Wang Fang was a little disheartened, Sun Jian saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly comforted him: "Chef Wang doesn't need to mind, boiled live fish is the final taste, and whoever cuts more slices wins." ”
Bai Qiang, the apprentice on the side, also hurriedly said: "What the boss said is reasonable, the fish meat is easy to scatter, and if it is cut too thinly and boiled in water, it may rot into meat residue, who wants to eat such boiled live fish!" ”
Wang Fang was stunned, and suddenly felt that what the two said was good, the two sides competed in the color and fragrance of boiled live fish after cooking, and the fish meat was not easy to deal with, it was easy to crack if it was cut thin, and it would rot with a spoon.
As they could imagine, Qin Yu naturally knew it, and added various seasonings to the fish slices and stirred them carefully.
On the other hand, Wang Fang also began to process fish slices, and all he added were commonly used boiled live fish seasonings, and when he saw that Qin Yu had not added starch egg whites to starch, his heart was overjoyed.
It is very necessary to make boiled live fish starch, wrap a thin layer of starch and egg white on the surface of the fish fillet, which can greatly improve the tenderness and color of the fish, and also maintain the integrity of the fish fillet to the greatest extent.
If you make your own boiled live fish, it is not too important to not starch it, and it doesn't matter if the fish slices are cracked, but as a commodity sold to diners, it must be full of color, flavor and flavor.
Qin Yu's fish fillets are already very thin, the thinner the more fragile they are, if you don't plan to starch them, the fish will fall apart after a few pours into the pot.
"It's a little bit, the ginger is still old and spicy, fight with me, you're still tender!" Wang Fang was overjoyed and thought that she had won the competition.
Although Qin Keke's cooking skills are average, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he has seen many masters make boiled live fish, and most chefs will choose to starch the fish, seeing that Qin Yu omitted this step, he was slightly worried.
She didn't know that Qin Yu was cooking this dish according to the practice of the divine realm, he didn't add starch and egg whites, but added a unique cooking wine, which can enhance the toughness of the fish slices, make it more refreshing, and not easy to crack.
The fish fillet was processed, and the next few steps were similar to both sides, except that the seasonings used by Qin Yu were all from the God Realm.
Wang Fang also has his own secret recipe, the chili oil he uses is made exclusively by himself, with a variety of spices added to it, which is more fragrant than the canned chili oil bought on the street, and it is precisely because of this substance that his boiled live fish is favored by a large number of diners.
Although Wang Fang killed the fish first, Qin Yu's fish fillets were thinner and cooked faster, and the two finally turned off the fire almost at the same time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the chefs of our two restaurants have made boiled live fish, then please be a judge to see which one is more delicious, please taste it for free!" Sun Jian said and looked at Qin Weiyang proudly and asked, "Boss Qin, do you agree with my suggestion?" ”
"Just according to what Boss Sun said."
Qin Weiyang naturally responded, turned around and asked the waiter to bring disposable tableware and distribute it to the onlookers, and also served some to the customers in the store.
Wang Fang was confident that the boiled live fish she made could steadily outperform the other party, so she specially put a bowl in front of Qin Yu, and said with a smile: "Little brother, please try the fish I made, if you don't mind, I also want to try what you made."
"Please take care of yourself."
As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting a smiling person, whether he is really smiling or smiling, Qin Yu behaves with great grace.
Putting down the bowl in his hand, Wang Fang filled some of it himself, and now every piece of the boiled live fish made by Qin Yu was intact, the fish meat was neither cracked nor scattered, and the two eyeballs instantly bulged out.
"Luck, it must be luck, I don't believe that the toughness of the unstarched fillet can compare to my fish!"
Wang Fang was nervous in her heart, and picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, and shook her wrist slightly, and the fish fillet trembled.
What made him dumbfounded was that after the fish fillet shook repeatedly like a spring, there was no sign of breaking.
Qin Yu smiled slightly, and tried to eat a bite of the boiled live fish made by Wang Fang, the taste was indeed good, much stronger than what he had eaten before.
"Chef Wang's skills are really good, the fish fillets are tender and refreshing, and the spicy flavor is moderate, but the taste is slightly worse, plus the effect of starch and egg white, the umami of the fish is masked." Qin Yu gave a very pertinent evaluation.
Several other chefs generally agree with him, saying that while the sizing helps keep the fillets intact and smooth, it also masks the flavor of the fish itself, which greatly reduces its flavor.
Wang Fang did not object, he made his own boiled live fish, he knew the advantages and disadvantages in his heart, in the early years he also tried not to pulp, but the appearance of the made was very unsatisfactory, and finally had to give up.
He didn't speak, but his apprentice Bai Qiang retorted impatiently: "My master's cooking doesn't taste good, is it perfect for you?" Give me less pig nose and onion pretending to be an elephant! ”
Qin Yu showed a sneering smile and said, "The taste of my cooking is good, don't you know if you take a bite?"
Sensing that Qin Yu seemed to be very calm, the more the sense of crisis in Wang Fang's heart became stronger, and he glanced at Bai Qiang and tried to eat at the same time.
The moment the fillet and teeth come into contact, their first feeling is tenderness, and after biting, the meat is soft but not rotten, and the juice oozes out of the fish and flows to the tongue, making people feel like they can't stop it.
Originally, Wang Fang just wanted to try it out, but after swallowing the first bite, she unconsciously put another piece into her mouth.
Bai Qiang's eating was even more ugly than him, and after eating the bowl, he wanted to continue to serve it, but unfortunately the spoon was held by Qin Yu, and he couldn't speak, so he had to watch dryly.
At first, the audience judges ate both kinds of boiled live fish, but gradually they all gathered around the hometown flavor, and no one cared about the guests on the other side.
Sun Jian, who was standing at the door, had a pale face, the situation in front of him was enough to explain everything, the difference between the boiled live fish made by Wang Fang and the one made by Qin Yu was 108,000 miles, and the two kinds of fish were put together, and no one wanted to eat what they had in their store at all.
"Boss, it seems...... I can only use the method I just said. The manager who felt at home said in Sun Jian's ear.
He actually wanted to go over and taste how delicious Qin Yu made, but he didn't dare to act because of the boss's face.
He wanted to eat, Sun Jian didn't want to, watching those passers-by eat so deliciously one by one, he had swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and his heart was entangled for two minutes, and finally he couldn't resist the temptation of food and walked over.
As soon as he took a step, the manager immediately followed, wondering if he could catch a little and taste it.
However, when the two of them walked over, Qin Yu just said lukewarmly: "I'm sorry, the fish fillets are gone, do you want to get some bean sprouts for you to satisfy your hunger?"
"Bean sprouts?"
Sun Jian was a little angry, thinking in his heart, Lao Tzu is also a dignified restaurant owner, even if there is no fish fillet, how can he eat other people's leftover bean sprouts?!
However, for the sake of the next plan, he chose to endure this breath, and said with a smiling face: "Little brother is a good craft, I wonder if you are interested in coming to us to enjoy the exhibition?" As long as you are willing to come, the monthly salary is more than five figures, the food, accommodation and restaurants are all-inclusive, and you don't even have to pay the water and electricity bills. ”
Expecting that the other party would repeat his old tricks and poach people with heavy money, Qin Yu did not rush to refuse, but smiled lightly: "Boss Sun, you think I am too cheap, if I work in my hometown, my monthly salary will not be tens of thousands, right, Uncle Qin?"
"That's for sure." Qin Weiyang laughed loudly: "Xiao Qin, if you are willing to come, the position of the chef of the restaurant must be yours, with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan."
When Wang Fang heard this, he had an urge to vomit blood, he was the chef of his hometown before, and his monthly salary was only more than 13,000, but after changing Qin Yu, it soared to more than 20,000, he couldn't help but wonder, is he so worthless?
"Little brother, your cooking skills can go to work in a more high-end star-rated hotel, and now several five-star hotels in the city are recruiting chefs, if you go to apply, you will be sure to succeed." A middle-aged diner said.
Sun Jian was embarrassed, he just realized, Qin Yu was not very old, but he was not easy to fool, so he immediately changed his words and said: "Little brother, the five-digit number I said starts with three, the monthly salary starts at 30,000, and the salary will be raised once every six months in the future, plus the red envelope for the New Year, the annual salary will not be less than 400,000, what do you think?"
Raising his eyebrows, Qin Yu admitted that this condition was quite tempting, at least for most chefs, he couldn't easily refuse, but for him, a multimillionaire, there was not much difference between 400,000 and 40 yuan.
Qin Weiyang and his wife didn't know Qin Yu's background, and when they heard Sun Jian's offer of an annual salary of 400,000 yuan, they couldn't help but panic, if Qin Yu was invited to move at home, there would really be no way to live in the future.
