Chapter 43: Fighting for the right to use the kitchen
"I'm Zhu Xin, who joined the army under Sun Ce, and I'm mainly in charge of tonight's dinner." The next day, Zhu Xin came to the back kitchen of the Yamen and directly faced the three chefs here.
To be exact, there is one chef, two chefs, and there are five firemen, and this lineup is luxurious enough.
So much so that Zhu Xin couldn't help but sigh that Yuan Valve deserved to be Yuan Valve. Let's just say that on the side of the Fuchun Sun family, there is not a chef in the family, and there are eight here, even if five of them are the lowest-level firemen.
"You are the legendary 'chef' above the head chef?" The head chef is a 70-year-old chef. On the kitchen side, he is naturally the main one.
After a pause, he continued: "You should know, as a chef, what does it mean to me that you are here? ”
Of course you do...... Zhu Xin was a little helpless, the kitchen can be said to be a holy place for chefs, and he does not allow others to defile his existence. And taking over himself, in the eyes of the chef, is tantamount to an 'intruder'.
In the face of a young intruder, the attitude of a few of them will be good, and that is really hell!
At the same time, he also noticed that the appearance of the chef and the chef, as well as the individual fireman, was somewhat similar. It should be a family, and the head chef's heir has a relatively high probability of being a head chef, and it is also possible to deteriorate into a chef or a fire man.
These eight chefs are most likely related by blood. For example, fathers and sons, grandchildren, grandchildren or nephews.
I have entered someone's base camp, not only to use other people's kitchens, but also to command others. changed himself and kicked the other party out without his face, which is already considered self-cultivation.
"Time is running out, and I think we can use the chef's rules to solve the problem." Zhu Xin took a deep breath, he hoped that the rules of the chef would also apply here.
"Oh, I really don't know, what other rules the chef has, let's hear it!" When the chef heard this, he asked curiously. Obviously, the other party doesn't know the rules, but it doesn't matter, the other party is curious!
"The rules are ......," Zhu Xin said slowly, "choose a theme, and then you and I will each cook a dish, and select three judges, and finally divide the winner." Chefs with better cooking skills will gain access to and control of the kitchen! ”
"Yes, this is very much in line with the rules of a chef!" The chef was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, then looked at the three middle-aged chefs beside him and said, "You three, come and be the judges!" ”
"Yes, father (uncle)!" The three of them responded one after another, and as expected, it was indeed a relative.
The situation on the scene actually did not have the slightest advantage for Zhu Xin. This is the other party's territory, everything here, the other party is more familiar than himself, the key is that the three judges of the other party are all their own people, and they are completely at an absolute disadvantage.
"It's up to you to decide on the theme, how?" The chef didn't intend to do things perfectly, and then gave Zhu Xin a chance.
At this time, Zhu Xin was very clear that the choice of theme was very important. If you choose the right one, you may still have a chance, but if you choose the wrong one, there is no chance. Don't expect to give the other party the right to choose, and the other party will give you any preferential treatment.
Pray for the other party's conscience to be discovered? The only thing Zhu Xin has learned from time to time is to speculate on your enemies with the greatest malice. In particular, there is a high probability that there is no way to become friends.
Questions, the topic must be something that the other party is not good at. Unfortunately, I don't know what the chef in front of me is not good at. Then you can only choose dishes that people of this era simply cannot know......
The first thing that comes to mind is roast duck, after all, Peking duck, or Nanjing plate duck are definitely a must. Limited by the lack of this history, people in this era may not be able to make that taste. Even if it's the Ma Lianliang duck he made before, he can't make it.
However, this is not a safe, you must have an absolute advantage to win.
The other party is 70 years old, and 70 years old means that he has a lot of experience in cooking. Under long-term cooking, there is a high probability that the cooking skill has been improved to purple, and even to red, and Zhu Xin does not find it strange.
At least, in the past few years of his cooking, his cooking skills have been dark purple, and it is already a matter of touching the door to red.
It is gratifying that the other party is only a chef, and in this profession, the professional skill level cannot exceed red. Crimson was already the maximum level he could raise in his lifetime. Unless, the other party is a hidden 'chef'.
Sweep the kitchen and look at the kitchenware here, after all, the type of kitchenware also represents the range he can choose. Of course, he can't delay it too long, otherwise these people in front of him will be impatient......
"Pastry, I ask for pastry as a contest item!" When he saw the consideration, he knew that things were stable.
"Pastry, yes, pastry is pastry!" When the latter heard this, he smiled imperceptibly.
"The competition lasts for an hour, and the materials are mainly the existing materials in the kitchen." Zhu Xin added.
"Of course there is no problem, please feel free!" The chef motioned to Zhu Xin to choose the ingredients first.
Zhu Xin didn't hesitate, saluted the chef, and then went over to choose the ingredients. When he left, several young cooks burst out laughing.
"This kid, what's not good, I just choose past......ry," one of the middle-aged chefs said with a smile, "Isn't what my father is best at?" ”
After all, Yuan Shu is a lover of sweets, so the chef's choice is biased towards pastries and pastries. As for the rest of the dishes, three chefs will be in charge, not to mention five firemen.
"Looks like he's pretty confident in the pastry, let's see what he's going to cook!" The chef was also curious about what kind of pastry this kid would come up with.
He probably knows how to make pastries in this world, but he also knows that cooking is actually constantly improving. Every moment, new dishes emerge.
As a chef specializing in pastry and pastry, he is of course curious about what kind of pastry will come up with from the other party.
At this moment, I didn't know that Zhu Xin, who had picked the topic of landmines, came to the warehouse where the ingredients were stored, and the ingredients here were all preserved by the storage officer's preservation skills, so the freshness was guaranteed.
Thanks to this magical skill, the people in the interior can also have the opportunity to eat coastal fish. Because of this, the culinary world can continue to grow. However, according to this situation, the formation of regional genres may take longer.
After all, the circulation and storage of ingredients are very convenient, so for the local unique ingredients, the birth of regional genres, can not be said that there are no conditions for formation, can only say that the time of formation, may be slightly delayed.
However, in order to win over an old chef, Zhu Xin felt that he had to go a little evil. Traditional food may not win, so he chooses pastry, because if Chinese food can't win, he can use Western food. The other party can't know about this thing, right?
"Cheese, tomato and mushrooms are all there, it's OK!" Zhu Xin nodded, if there are these three ingredients, then everything will be stable. Yes, all he wants to do is pizza!
