Chapter 124: Unexpected Joy
It looks like a plate and spreads it underneath the goose meat.
Zhang Yunfan was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so he looked around secretly.
In order to see clearly, the chefs in the back kitchen hurriedly squeezed through the back and happened to see this scene.
It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw the fat goose with a broken belly, the big-headed sous chef - a fat chef whose head can be used as a mirror, his eyes immediately widened.
"This ...... This is also ......" The sous chef stammered for a long time without finishing the sentence.
On the contrary, because it was too quiet, this sentence made everyone upstairs and downstairs hear it clearly.
Zhang Yunfan's face became even more ruddy, thinking that he had lost the adult this time, and he originally wanted to perform well, but he didn't think about it and ended up messing up.
Zhang Yunfan's mind quickly recalled what went wrong, but there was no answer, and all the steps seemed to be correct......
Zhang Yunfan was a little remorseful, it was better not to let Lang Chuan run away like this, follow him, learn his steps, and there would definitely be no such mistakes.
Zhang Yunfan secretly glanced at the sous chef, and when he saw this round body like a goose's buttocks, at the age of fifty or sixty, he understood that this must be a high position in this drunken immortal residence, a wrist in the kitchen, and the old fat man is generally a wrist in the kitchen......
Looking at the respectful expressions of the young masters behind him, he could also guess a thing or two.
The sous chef's eyes were still staring at Zhang Yunfan's fat goose, and his mouth grew intently, and it took a long time to spit out a complete sentence: "This, this, this...... It's perfect! ”
The old fat man suddenly laughed, as if he had seen a baby, and walked directly to the fat goose with a broken belly.
When he arrived, he looked carefully back and forth for a long time.
His perfect sentence just now, Zhang Yunfan was confused, what does this mean? If you mess up playing by yourself, is this old fat man happy?
This sentence caused a lot of discussion among the spectators, as if there were thousands of flies flapping their wings together in the house, and disturbing people's hearts.
When people were talking, the old fat man spoke again, this time to Zhang Yunfan: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it...... Brother, you are really a master...... Oh no, man of God! ”
Zhang Yunfan stared at him in disbelief, and said in his heart, what do you mean by this? Is it positive or negative?
The old fat man spoke again, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes: "It's not a secret, my old man has watched my senior brother do this cloud goose for decades, and the level is average, today's sir, your way, really taught the old man a lesson, and it was an eye-opener......"
The old fat man recalled Lang Chuan just now, he had also seen Lang Chuan's wild goose in the clouds, and the level was very good, but compared to Zhang Yunfan, it was simply worse than I don't know how many levels.
Zhang Yunfan still didn't believe it, and deeply felt that this kind old man was fooling himself.
Zhang Yunfan pointed to the breach in a small voice and asked, "What?" This...... It's all out of the cracks...... All the ingredients inside are out...... Don't laugh at me. ”
The old fat man frowned, and said in his heart, boy, are you playing me?
"This breach...... It's so perfect, I see my brother do so much, but I've never seen such a perfect hole......"
What's what? Is the breach still perfect? Zhang Yunfan was completely blindfolded, what kind of nonsense did this old man say?
Zhang Yunfan's dazed and ignorant expression made the old fat sous sous chef feel a little surprised, and thought: Could it be that this kid doesn't know the exquisiteness of this dish? How is that possible? I don't know if it can be done so perfectly?
Smiling, the old fat man shook his head: "Mr. is making fun of me......"
Zhang Yunfan really wants to scold him for being sick, and he has no grievances with you, why are you making fun of you, and I haven't said anything besides.
"No, no, I really didn't understand the meaning of your old man's words, please explain it!" Zhang Yunfan's attitude was modest, so he begged the other party.
The old fat man looked at Zhang Yunfan's battle, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare to ......" straightened Zhang Yunfan's waist leaning forward slightly, and the old man sighed, "Don't you know the exquisiteness of the geese in the clouds, sir?" ”
Zhang Yunfan's expression looked embarrassed, but now that he could only tell the truth: "Actually...... Actually, it's the first time I've made this dish......"
As soon as Zhang Yunfan's words came out, the jaws of the old fat man and the disciples behind him almost fell to the ground......
For the first time? Who to fool? Are you still born to be a god chef? It's the first time you've been able to make such an awesome dish?
The young chefs in the back snorted angrily, looking unaccustomed.
The old fat man naturally couldn't get used to it, and his tone of voice became frivolous: "Little brother is joking with my old man again, you said that you have never done it, but if you want me to see, at this level, unless you cook this meal for ten years, you can't do this kind of amazing level." ”
Zhang Yunfan didn't know whether the old man's words were praise or loss, but he accepted them all. Some aggrieved explained: "It's true! My friend is on the second floor, just ask! ”
The old fat man looked at Zhang Yunfan with a serious look, even if he was skeptical, he still didn't dig deeper, but he just felt that it was too incredible.
Even if you learn this meal for ten years, how old was Zhang Yunfan ten years ago? Early tens? It's not as tall as a stove......
The old man felt that the young man in front of him was too magical, and he was not like a character living in reality.
sighed, he thought of his decades of chef career, and he hadn't been able to do a good job of this cloud goose, and he couldn't help but feel sad from the bitterness.
"Since Mr. said that you are the first time to do this goose in the clouds, I will believe it!" The old man looked at Zhang Yunfan incredulously, "Yunzhong Yan began in the Qing Dynasty, has a history of two hundred years, because of the exquisite materials, fine workmanship and the level of the operator, there have always been not many people, looking at the whole country, will do only a dozen, of course, now I have to add a gentleman!" Those who can make this wild goose in the clouds can become a master of a generation in the final analysis......"
Zhang Yunfan nodded again and again, what he didn't expect was that he just swiped his skills so casually, and he stepped into the world of the master in one step? It's incredible, and it's hard for him to believe it.
The old man continued: "The difficulty of this wild goose in the clouds is actually not only in the previous knife skills and fumigation, but also the most important and most challenging chef's level, in fact, the final 'flowering' process, that is, the breach in the belly!" ”
The old man pointed to the breach, Zhang Yunfan was a little surprised, and said in his heart, what is this? Breaking a hole, but it becomes the basis for testing the level?
"What does that mean?" Zhang Yunfan asked.
The old man smiled knowingly, the wrinkles on his face were relaxed, and he muttered vigorously in his heart, it seems that this kid is really a dirt bun, he doesn't understand anything......
Simply, the old man also has the heart to be a lecturer and give a lecture to this kind of monster who is against the sky, thinking about it, it is beautiful: "This goose meat was originally boneless, and the meat here in the belly bag is thin, and repeated baking will make the skin and flesh here solid, and this is the thickest place for the whole goose fat, which will naturally explode." ”
Zhang Yunfan seemed to understand something, and nodded repeatedly.
The old man continued: "The beginner of this wild goose in the clouds may have a strange shape that the crack will open, which is simply miserable. Even a chef of Lang Chuan's level can't grasp this, so he will secretly run away! ”
"Wouldn't it be enough to make two cuts?" Zhang Yunfan asked, "Isn't it just cracking along the knife mark when the time comes?" ”
The old man laughed twice and looked at Zhang Yunfan appreciatively, he didn't expect that Zhang Yunfan was not only ingenious, but also had a lot of ghost ideas.
"Indeed, this is the way," replied the old man, "but the true master never uses this method, because it will spoil the taste, and the most natural one is often the best!" ”
Zhang Yunfan nodded, counted as understood, and continued to listen.
"Why do I say you're so good at it?" The old man pointed to the overflowing dish and said in surprise, "The knowledge is all here, the size of the breach is uniform, and it is in the middle, and you can see that the overflowing filler is completely round, just like a cloud in the glow." And this is where the wild goose in the clouds gets its name! ”
Zhang Yunfan finally saw a trace of the way in the old man's explanation, and said in his heart that these people would really be a long time ago, it was clearly a big goose stewed mutton, and they also came up with such a meaningful name.
When Zhang Yunfan thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh stupidly twice, and when he saw that the people around him were staring at him in surprise, he immediately kept his smile and pretended to be serious.
But take a closer look, the purple-red mutton rolls, coupled with speckled tofu shreds, really look a little like the morning sunrise, under the gorgeous morning sun.
It's just that this fat goose is really a bit ruined. With a smile, Zhang Yunfan shook hands solemnly with the old man and expressed his gratitude.
The words behind the dishes are much more interesting than cooking, and Zhang Yunfan actually has a trace of such an idea in his heart.
Finally, the upstairs and downstairs spectators couldn't wait to try the delicious food.
Zhang Yunfan cut the whole goose into equal pieces, and it took a lot of twists and turns to finish.
Since so many people were looking forward to it, it was natural that they couldn't let people wait for the last one in vain, so Zhang Yunfan called the waiter and distributed the dozens of goose pieces to dozens of tables of guests upstairs and downstairs.
Zhang Yunfan personally carried a plate of neatly stacked goose meat upstairs and walked to the table of the Jiao family's father and daughter and Lin Muru.
As soon as Jiao Haichuan saw Zhang Yunfan coming back, his heart was full of pride and hurriedly greeted him: "Yunfan, good job!" ”
Jiao Haichuan's pride was intentional, he was betting on Zhang Yunfan's victory, but now it seems that Zhang Yunfan not only lived up to his expectations, but even far exceeded his expectations.
Zhang Yunfan actually forced Lang Chuan, a famous chef in the province, to surrender, and was praised by the chef downstairs.
Lang Chuan saw the group of reporters who followed behind Zhang Yunfan, and he instantly saw one thing, Zhang Yunfan would appear in the headlines of major newspapers and magazines in Linxi City early tomorrow morning.
This is a good thing, Jiao Haichuan is happy for Zhang Yunfan in his heart.
welcomed him to the main seat, Zhang Yunfan refused to retreat: "How good is this, Mr. Jiao, you are an elder, let me sit here, it is simply tormenting me!" ”
Zhang Yunfan wanted to get up, but was forced to be pressed down by Jiao Haichuan: "Are you kid not giving me face to the old man?" ”
Jiao Haichuan had a straight face, Zhang Yunfan was afraid that the relationship would be stiff, so he had to give up.
