Chapter 305: The Imperial Kitchen's Problem
Yan Haodong, Luo Ming and Xiao Milk Bao were waiting for them in the box, Wang Yuchu and He Kexin made four dishes respectively, and after sitting down and tasting each other's dishes, Wang Yuchu was silent again, and he drank several sips of wine.
He Kexin knew what the problem was after tasting his food? It's just that Wang Yuchu didn't speak, and she was embarrassed to say anything, if she pointed out the problem directly, people would be unhappy, then she would have to do more.
Wang Yuchu drank three glasses of wine in a row, and when he was about to serve the wine glass, Luo Ming pressed the wine glass down with a fan, "What's wrong with you?" With so many people here, can't you just say it? If we keep drinking, we'll leave! ”
When Wang Yuchu heard his words, he smiled and said, "The fifth prince is still as straightforward as before!" ”
"Of course." Luo Ming snorted coldly and played with the jade pendant on his fan, "This prince has always been of this temperament. ”
Chef Wang glanced at He Kexin and said, "You should also know that my cooking skills are in trouble, right?" I couldn't figure out what went wrong, so I left the palace, and there were many people who said that I couldn't grow in cooking, but in fact it wasn't, I felt like I was confused, messed up, so I left the palace."
He Ke thought about the people in the palace and said: "You have met a lot of people in the palace who are good at cooking, everyone has their own good things, and the dishes made by each person are similar but the taste is different. ”
After He Kexin finished speaking, Wang Yuchu glanced at her in surprise, he didn't expect such a woman to actually say all the thoughts in his heart, that's right, he had a problem like this.
Luo Ming also heard about this problem for the first time, and only then did he understand that this was the reason why Wang Imperial Chef left the palace back then!
Chef Wang looked at He Kexin and said, shook his head and said, "I actually know that it is wrong for me to do this, how can it be possible to use everyone's advantages in every dish?" It's just that I seem to be stuck in a strange circle, and I always do it unconsciously, just like in today's competition, I saw that you used so many ingredients, but I still took some of the excess ingredients when I didn't need them, and in the end I ruined the taste of the dish. ”
He Kexin nodded to show that he understood what the problem was, gently picked up the steamed bun in front of him, and ate it slowly, "This is the easiest food, what do you think you have to add when making steamed buns?" ”
Wang Yuchu didn't understand what she meant, but still said, "I think you can add some sugar or dried fruits, and other things, and the water for noodles can also be replaced with broth!" ”
He Kexin shook his head, put down the steamed bun, looked at Wang Yuchu seriously and said: "I'm talking about steamed buns, not steamed buns with other flavors, that kind of steamed buns are made with tricks, if it's just simple steamed buns, what you need is flour, water, and fermented things, it's these simple things, what you have to do is to grasp the amount in the process, and pay attention to some skills, not add other things." ”
Wang Yuchu seemed to understand what she meant, but the confusion in his eyes still did not subside, "Change the things in the process, instead of adding other things?" ”
He Kexin nodded, looked at the dishes made by Wang Yuchu and said: "Cooking is like painting, there must be a focus, and the rest is auxiliary and embellishment, if you want to be the focus of everything, it will make people unable to grasp the point, and in the end it will not leave a feeling." ”
Wang Yuchu somewhat understood what she meant, looking at the dishes she made, yes, it was obviously making fish, and the prominent thing should be fish, but she added other pork or vegetables, stealing some of the limelight from the fish, and finally made this dish a lot more ordinary.
It was as if the blocked meridians had been opened, and he instantly understood all his problems, "I didn't stick to my true colors and constantly improve my own methods to find the most suitable cooking method, but chose to add other ingredients, so I lost the most basic method." ”
He Kexin saw that he had completely understood where his problem was, she smiled and said: "Yes, in fact, your cooking skills are really better than me, you should be able to feel it yourself, I haven't learned, I figured it out by myself, I don't understand a lot of tricks, as long as you go back to the original road, you will definitely have high achievements." ”
Chef Wang is now on a detour, but as long as he continues to come back, this experience will definitely give him a lot of inspiration, and his achievements in cooking will definitely get higher and higher.
Wang Yuchu nodded, he admired He Kexin very much, although she was a woman, her vision, mind and courage were not lost to men, she was a very amazing woman.
"I also admire you, if ordinary people would definitely not be willing to tell me these words, but you really guide me, worthy of admiration!"
He Kexin smiled lightly and glanced at Yan Haodong, "It's not a pointer!" It's just some of my own opinions, in fact, as chefs, we must always maintain a sense of reverence for ingredients, cherish the ingredients in our hands, and let each ingredient play its best role. ”
Wang Yuchu looked at her and nodded gently, in fact, he also understood what He Kexin meant, this is the reason why he always felt a little worse, "Well, I have seen a lot of people and things this time, and I have also seen people who can't eat, I have more experience of ingredients, and I think I know more after this competition." ”
Seeing that Wang Yuchu had completely understood, He Kexin didn't say anything more, Luo Ming waved his hand and looked at them and said, "It's time to eat, your discussion is over." ”
Wang Yuchu smiled, He Kexin sandwiched vegetables for Yan Haodong and Xiao Milk Bao, and said softly: "Let's eat!" ”
These two people glanced at him with a smile, and then picked up the chopsticks to eat, they are very happy now, He Kexin won the game, they are happy for her, feel that her hard work is not in vain!
After eating, He Kexin and they said goodbye, Wang Yuchu also said goodbye to them, his biggest problem has been solved, and now he needs to find a place to find his original intention to learn cooking, learn He Kexin's heart to treat ingredients, and improve his cooking skills.
Steward Yu knew the result of Wang Yuchu's competition and knew that this was the consequence, and he remembered He Kexin, although he didn't pay attention to a shop, but he didn't allow others to destroy his own financial route.
He Kexin defeated the imperial chef, in his opinion, it was a slap in the face, but for the time being, he didn't have time to deal with them, the prefect was new, and this prefect was not like the previous one, and the prefect's backer in the capital was not simple, he had to find a way to get the prefect's trust, otherwise it would be difficult in the future.
