Next Chapter

"Welcome to a provincial chef competition, after more than ten days of fierce fighting, today is the last day, and the showdown is the chef of Jinjiang Hotel, Master Liu Ming, and a genius chef who has never appeared in the chef world before, but this year on behalf of Hanhualou, you must know that this chef is only eighteen years old today, but his cooking skills are not comparable to an eighteen-year-old boy, he is the most dazzling new star in the chef industry of a certain province - Ling Yang, the following is to invite these two chefs to appear!!"

In a gorgeous and huge kitchen, a person holding a microphone is talking excitedly to the camera, and in this kitchen there are two opposite stoves, and there is a long table above the stove, behind this long table sit five people, two old men and three middle-aged people, look at the nameplate placed on the long table to know that they are all judges.

After the host finished speaking, two people appeared in this kitchen, one was a middle-aged man wearing a white chef uniform and dressed meticulously, he was Liu Ming, from the appearance to standing in front of everyone, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and a teenager came from another direction, just like the host introduced, this teenager looked eighteen or nineteen years old.

The young man is Ling Yang, he is wearing a wide chef uniform, and his appearance is not outstanding, but his eyes are very bright, bright like stars in the sky, although the chef uniform on his body is not wrinkled or torn, but the people present know at a glance that this chef uniform is a bit historical, and it is not at all something that Ling Yang, who is now in his teens, can wear it, and I don't know why Ling Yang would choose such a chef uniform at such a critical moment?

"Ahem" After both of them appeared, the old man behind the long table held the microphone and coughed twice and said: "Today is the decisive battle of the chef competition, as long as you win this competition, then you will be able to participate in the national chef competition, this is the opportunity for you to really be famous in the country, so please work hard, and the content of today's competition is the golden silk sparrow in the Manchu and Han banquets, although this dish is not particularly difficult, but the effort spent will not be less, I don't know if there is a problem with the two?" ”

"No problem!"

"No problem!"

"Okay, there is no problem with the two masters, so let's go and choose the ingredients, and the game will officially start in an hour!!" The old man nodded with satisfaction, and then directly announced the time of the game.

The Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets are a kind of national characteristics in our country, and there is the essence of local flavor, the dishes are exquisite, the etiquette is exquisite, and the unique style is eye-catching. The Manchu and Han banquets were originally a kind of full banquets shared by the Manchus and Han people when the banquets were held in the officialdom, and the Manchu and Han banquets generally served at least 18 kinds of dishes, which were eaten in three days. The Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets are made of a wide range of materials, fine materials, and all-encompassing delicacies from the mountains and seas. The cooking skills are superb and full of local characteristics.

However, in modern times, it is impossible to make the Manchu and Han full banquets, because some of the dishes in the Manchu and Han full banquets need to use some animals, and these animals are already forbidden to be hunted, just like monkey brains, so some of the dishes can not be made, and in the turbulent years of the Qing Dynasty, the recipes of the Manchu and Han full banquets are also lost, and some of the dishes cannot be copied.

The Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets are divided into six banquets, namely: Mongolian pro-Pan banquet, courtier banquet, longevity banquet, Qiansu banquet, Jiubai banquet, festival banquet six kinds of banquets, and the golden silk finch is the Mongolian pro-domain banquet in the two kinds of dumplings, it is not difficult to say, it is not difficult to say, it is still a little difficult, but the golden silk finch is not really made of birds, but with some common ingredients, to make different taste of dishes, in terms of beauty and taste are excellent.

Ling Yang wore a wide chef's uniform and began to choose the ingredients, this golden silk finch Ling Yang can make, although he has not made it a few times, but he has always done it, plus he has honed his cooking skills for so many years, he is confident to make this dish.

"Xiaoyang, come on." Just after Ling Yang had selected the ingredients, suddenly a somewhat gloomy voice sounded behind him, and he looked back and found that he didn't know when his uncle had come behind him.

"Uncle, is there anything wrong with you? I'm about to go to the final battle, and I can't afford to delay. Ling Yang looked at his uncle and said, his tone was very flat, as if this person was not his uncle.

But this is indeed the case, because, in fact, when Ling Yang was a child, his father was the real owner of Hanhua Lou and the chef of Hanhua Lou, but later because of an accident, Hanhua Lou changed hands, and now the owner of Hanhua Lou is Ling Yang's uncle's family.

Originally, it was not Ling Yang's uncle's turn to inherit Hanhua Building, but because Ling Yang was only two or three years old, he legally needed a guardian, and it happened that his father also had a younger brother, so he became Ling Yang's guardian and also controlled Hanhua Building.

However, according to the provisions of the law, when Ling Yang is an adult, that is, when he is eighteen years old, Han Hua Lou will become his again, so his greedy uncle has long been planning how to get Han Hua Lou when Ling Yang was only sixteen years old, and he is also trying to get Ling Yang's signature.

But they underestimated Ling Yang, Ling Yang had already seen what his uncle's family was, so how could it be so easy to compromise, you must know that since Ling Yang's uncle took control of Hanhua Building, Ling Yang had no good life, and he couldn't eat enough every day, so he could only go to the kitchen to cook and eat by himself after Hanhua Mansion closed at night.

Fortunately, although he is small, he is very smart, and he has also inherited his father's talent as a chef, and the little annuity has been able to make decent dishes, and after his aunt discovered Ling Yang's talent, she also remembered Ling Yang's dead father's cooking skills, so since then, he has been forced by his uncle and aunt to practice cooking skills every day.

In order to let Ling Yang master the skills of cooking, and then become the chef of Han Hua Lou, in this way, they will be able to save a lot of money (don't look at me, some people are so picky), and Ling Yang did not disappoint them, when he was only fifteen years old, the dishes he made were already comparable to ordinary chefs.

Although after Ling Yang's father died, the business of Han Hua Lou was not as good as before, but Han Hua Lou is also a time-honored brand for thirty or forty years, and there are still many customers.
