317 Needle tip to wheat mang
Old Man Tao always thought that the so-called 'all seas return to one, and all directions come to court' that Zhang Jin gave to Old Man Lan was just a gimmick and grandstanding. The eight major cuisines at the same table cannot be all high-quality, and they must be uneven.
Besides, when these dishes of different cuisines and flavors are put together, can the taste be haode?
Salty, spicy, light, fresh, fishy, smelly......
There is an irreconcilable contradiction between these extreme flavors, and it is impossible to perform well together at the same table.
For the master-level supreme realm of the chef and the old man Tao who has not yet touched the edge, he can't understand the mystery at all. Naturally, I can't understand Zhang Jin's unfathomable profundity in culinary attainments.
Old Man Tao can't understand Zhang Jin's realm, but this famous court chef who is quite famous in the Chinese kitchen world has heard of the craftsmanship of Chef Zhang, who is Zhang Jin's opponent. Old Man Tao knows that this Chef Zhang's skills are quite good, and his arrogance and domineering are confident. Absolutely nothing to do with where he works.
Therefore, Mr. Tao took it for granted that Zhang Jin could only be qualified to compete with Chef Zhang if he came up with the dishes he was best at, and even if he lost, he might not lose too badly.
But even so, Mr. Tao also thinks that in the results of the competition, Zhang Jin loses more and wins less.
In Mr. Tao's opinion, Zhang Jin used Beijing Gang cuisine to compete with the proud disciple who was the first master of Beijing Gang cuisine, which was a very irrational thing. There is no chance of winning at all.
To be honest, Tao Zugeng still has little confidence in Zhang Jin. From beginning to end, I don't think that Zhang Jin really has the kind of cooking skills that Mr. Lan said, which is not inferior, and is a 'professional judgment'. From beginning to end, he did not regard Zhang Jin as a chef of the same magnitude as himself.
Therefore, seeing Zhang Jin, who helped him support the façade, actually made such an unwise choice, Old Man Tao's face also darkened.
And what is darker than these celebrity chefs who watch the drama and whose faces are darker than Tao Zugeng's are the two masters and apprentices of Old Man Deng and Chef Zhang.
After hearing Zhang Jin's choice of dishes, the master and apprentice who have a high status in the Beijing Gang cuisine, and are now and in the future in charge of the Beijing Gang cuisine, were so angry that their faces were already black and they were about to 'meditate in Kaifeng Mansion'!
What does it mean? Pick a dish we're good at? That's too contemptuous, isn't it? And so it is the most blatant contempt. This young young offspring is simply too deceitful.
People are always 'lenient with themselves and strict with others.'
The pair of masters and apprentices have forgotten how aggressively they were to Zhang Jin just now. I also forgot how disdain and disdain I was when I faced Zhang Jin just now.
Anyway, Zhang Jin is doing something wrong. It's a great rebellion......
But Zhang Jin thought very simply.
Since you have decided to slap this pair of masters and apprentices, how loud, how painful, how humiliating it is, how to come! Who made you want to use our Zhang Jin as a stepping stone to climb up, and use our Zhang Jin as shit to step on?
Aren't you the best at Kyoto cuisine? Then I'll compete with you to help you cook, and I'll cook whatever you cook, so if you lose, I see how you can make excuses!
In addition to Zhang Jin's parents being dark under the lights, Ye Hong and Zhang Jin's good friends all know that this guy's heart is small!
Although Zhang Jin lays out the menu like this, it has a strong sense of provocation, and it is very modest and introverted in the traditional Chinese people, and even the 'demeanor' of submissiveness.
However, Zhang Jin did not violate any rules after all. Therefore, even if others slander in their hearts, they are beyond criticism.
Except for Tao Zugeng, who had to stand on Zhang Jin's side, most of the onlookers even hoped that the apprentice from the imperial dining room would quickly deliver the ingredients, so that the pair of 'contestants' could start the competition quickly. So that Chef Zhang can win quickly, so that they can see this arrogant Xiao Zhang as soon as possible, and his frustrated face after defeat. So that Zhang Jin, an unknown person, can get out of the house quickly. It's good for them to get out of this sulking! …,
Zhang Jin's-for-tat brazenness has aroused public anger, and these celebrity chefs are already on the same front and have the same hatred for Zhang Jin.
Because, they are famous chefs in China, but Zhang Jin is a little-known latecomer. If there are also classes in the kitchen world, then this room full of celebrity chefs is considered a class, and Zhang Jin himself is a class.
Class contradictions will always exist wherever they are.
When a 'latecomer' challenges a senior, it is easy to arouse the hostility of all seniors, and even attack in groups. This is where the resistance of those who challenge authority comes from.
After a few angry breaths of anger, Old Man Deng and Chef Zhang, who were choked by Zhang Jin, had to comfort themselves:
"This kid probably knows that he will lose, and if he loses in the Beijing Gang dish that we are good at, he can still say it eloquently. He lost because that's what we're good at. Leave yourself a way out! ”
The more the master and apprentice thought about it, the more they realized that their ideas were correct. So the anger that was originally provoked in his heart gradually dispersed, sweeping towards Zhang Jin's eyes, and he became more and more disdainful.
Obviously, the cooking level of this 'Shenzhen Xiao Zhang' will not be too high, otherwise it is impossible not to even want to win.
This pair of masters and apprentices are very self-righteous and take it for granted. looked down on Zhang Jin a little more and more.
In the thoughtful silence of the chefs in the room, several younger brothers in the imperial dining room had already walked in with their hands and feet carrying fish tanks and vegetable baskets.
With all the ingredients ready, the competition between the nobody's and the national chef of the 'Imperial Palace Pool' officially began.
As one of the northern cuisines, Beijing cuisine has a distinctive feature compared with several major cuisines in the south.
In southern cuisine, the habitual order of serving is that the taste changes from light to strong, gradually deepening the taste buds.
However, there are more northern cuisines, but they are from strong to light.
Especially the first course, it is a sour and spicy taste. The first course is appetizing.
Then there are the flavorful dishes that give a strong flavor impact.
Then, there are some light soups and vegetarian meats, which gradually fade away.
zuihou, which ends with a vegetarian soup as a clear mouth.
Therefore, the first dish of Chef Zhang, who is in charge of the state banquet in the 'palace pool', is the sour and spicy 'vinegar pepper fish'.
Although Zhang Jin is a top chef at the Gundam grandmaster level, even if he messes up the dishes regardless of the order, he can also adjust the intensity of various flavors and the order of dishes in any order of taste seamlessly with the ability that only a great grandmaster has, complementing each other.
It's like Zhang Jin once put the eight major cuisines on a table, but there was no taste conflict, but they complemented each other and went to the next level.
However, since Zhang Jin has chosen-for-tat, he naturally has to achieve perfection like needle-to-wheat. In other words, what Chef Zhang cooks, he has to cook, and then two of the same dishes are completed at the same time, so that these chefs who act as judges can have the most objective comparison at the same time!
This also makes Chef Zhang have no way to hide, no way to hide, and there is no way to find excuses.
As for the victory or defeat, Zhang Jin has never been worried. Today's grandmaster-level Great Perfection cooking skills are already at their peak. It's like absolute zero in temperature, which can only be approached, not surpassed.
Therefore, when he saw the first dish of Chef Zhang at the state banquet, he ran to the fish tank containing more than a dozen fresh mandarin fish, and Zhang Jin also walked to the location of the fish tank without ambiguity.
After some repeated selection, Chef Zhang, who took the lead, finally reached out and took out a mandarin fish struggling to swing its tail in the water, and returned to his own board at the other end of the kitchen.
But Zhang Jin was much more casual, as soon as Chef Zhang finished choosing, he stepped forward, and without even looking at it, he casually picked up a mandarin fish seven or eight inches long in the water.
In this selection of ingredients, Zhang Jin's casualness has become a stark contrast to Chef Zhang's cautiousness.
With the skills that come with a grandmaster-level chef, do you need to see, touch, and observe the ingredients when selecting them? That's too embarrassing to be a 'grandmaster'. ..., with a ten-level full-level 'ingredient identification', picking out the most haode among more than a dozen fish, for Zhang Jin, only one glance is enough.
…………
Ingredients: Mandarin fish;
Grade of ingredients: Grade 3;
Quality: Superior;
Description: Three-year-old wild lake mandarin fish......
…………
This is the only wild mandarin fish in the fish tank with an ingredient level of up to the third grade, even if Chef Zhang turns over and turns around for a long time, he only picks up a second-class wild mandarin fish.
Just in the selection of ingredients, Zhang Jin is already slightly better.
Of course, the referee chefs in the room didn't know the mystery, they just thought that Zhang Jin was already crazy, and he didn't even choose the ingredients carefully.
And Old Man Deng's master and apprentice took it for granted that Zhang Jin knew that he had already lost, and he was just going through the motions. Therefore, the selection of ingredients is also casual and so-so. This is a broken jar!
So the pair of 'soul-minded' masters and apprentices looked at Zhang Jin's eyes and became even more disdainful!
In this not small kitchen, I don't know if the two of them did it intentionally, the selected board and stove are just on one side of the day, and the two people are separated by a distance of seven or eight meters. It seems,It's very-for-tat.,Ring jiashi.。
When the two of them each returned to their own boards with a live mandarin fish, they each immersed themselves in their own shijie and started their own things without distractions.
And as the two people on the other side of the world were busy, the onlookers were also divided into two factions.
A group of people firmly believe that Chef Zhang has won, by the way, observe Chef Zhang's skills, and by the way, see if there is anything that he can learn and improve;
The other faction is also very firm that Chef Zhang has won, but they want to see how Zhang Jin, an arrogant posterior, makes a fool of himself. Observe this kid's cooking, find faults by the way, and blame it. Among this faction, there are old man Deng and several people who have friends with old man Deng. In this faction, the only ones who have good thoughts about Zhang Jin are the old man Tao and the tomboy surnamed Bao;
