Chapter 36: Heroes are not judged by success or failure

The shape of the shrimp made by the river fence is unique, and when you look at it from a distance, it is really like a phoenix perched on the sycamore, and the presentation is ingenious and exquisite, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

Comparatively speaking, Chef Gu's presentation is a little rougher, but there are more dishes to decorate, and he has put a lot of thought into the plating.

Old Man Gu doesn't care about these bells and whistles, they are all for outsiders to see, he pays more attention to the taste of the dish itself, whether a dish is good or not, it is necessary to win by taste, rather than other foreign things.

That's what he's been thinking all along.

Soon, he made a decision and tasted Chef Gu's directly.

Everyone is looking forward to the results as soon as possible.

"Yes, the shell is crispy and the shrimp meat is tender, which not only retains the umami of the shrimp itself, but also enriches the taste with the ingredients."

Old Man Gu said as he tasted it.

He attached great importance to the tasting, and asked the guy next to him for a glass of water to rinse his mouth, and then raised his chopsticks and directly picked up the anchovy shrimp made by Jiang Li.

This time, Old Man Gu did not give a serious evaluation when he tasted Chef Gu's cuisine, but instead ate without saying a word, which made the people watching next to him anxious.

When he saw that the old man had eaten well, someone anxiously asked. "Old man, what do you think? What is the difference between these two dishes? ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's hard to say. I can only say what I think. ”

Master Gu obviously didn't want to affect the judgment of others, and repeatedly emphasized that it was his own opinion, so he slowly explained: "These two anchovy shrimp are very good, it can be said that the two chefs have superb cooking skills, and they are the best chefs in Anjing Town." ”

"However, relatively speaking, I prefer this anchovy shrimp dish from Barilla, which has an extremely elegant taste, without any taste affecting the freshness of the shrimp itself, but a crisp and tender texture, rich in layers, giving people a different experience. It's hard to say which one is better, but in terms of the taste of the shrimp, Barilla should be superior. As for the taste, each has its own merits. ”

"So, which restaurant do you think will win?"

As soon as someone with good deeds heard this, he immediately asked, hoping that the old man could give a prediction.

However, where would the old man fall into such a shallow trap, but he didn't say anything with a smile, just quietly waiting for the third dish to be made.

"To be honest, whose dish do you think Master Gu prefers?"

Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, but he couldn't stop everyone's curiosity, some people secretly talked about it below.

"I think it should be Chef Gu. After all, Chef Gu's taste is heavier, and it definitely tastes better. ”

"Are you stupid? Look at the old man's plate, the plate made by the little girl is not even decorated, and Chef Gu's is still half left, every time, who is more delicious and can't see it? ”

"That's not what I said, maybe it's because the old people have a weak taste."

"I think the shrimp made by Chef Gu is a little greasy, not refreshing, just like the last dish, it has an oily smell, don't you think?"

"It's not, the stuffed crab bucket just now, it's delicious, it's just that after eating it for a while, I feel dry in my mouth. I haven't tasted that little girl's crab stuffed orange just now, what do you think? ”

"You didn't eat? Then you're really a loss, I tell you, it's a must! ”

"Okay, in my heart, don't say anything, do you want to look good! This third course has to be done, you still have to talk about it, and you won't have to eat it when you are robbed of it later! ”

As he was talking, he saw the two of them prepare the third dish and put it on the plate and sent it to everyone.

Maybe it's the first time it's born, the second time it's cooked, but this time everyone quickly made a judgment and began to put the red sticks in their hands in front of their favorite chefs in turn.

Chef Gu looked at the sticker in front of him, his face was very ugly, and the result was too obvious!

"I'm not convinced!"

Even though the result was clearly in front of him, Chef Gu was still unwilling to admit defeat, and hit the stove with a heavy punch, bringing down a lot of kitchen utensils without paying attention, and falling to the ground with a loud sound.

Everyone looked at Chef Gu like this, and they were a little overwhelmed.

Without waiting for everyone to react, they saw that he had rushed directly to the edge of Jiang Li's stove, just when everyone thought that Chef Gu was annoyed and angry, worried that he would be unfavorable to Jiang Li, but when they saw him reach out and grab Jiang Li's pot, pick up the remaining fish and meat in the pot and stuff it into his mouth, like a hungry wolf pounced.

Soon, I saw Chef Gu's face change, and he tasted the food in his mouth seriously.

It's clearly the same ingredients, why are the two people so different in taste!

"How did you do that?"

Jiang Liang smiled slightly, and didn't explain much, but the old man on the side took the initiative to speak.

"Well, now it's a result. In fact, the two chefs showed their superb cooking skills to everyone today, so it doesn't matter if they win or lose this game, Chef Gu and Miss Jiang have their own strengths, but Miss Jiang's cooking skills are indeed slightly higher. ”

Old Man Gu stood up and made a conclusion by comparison.

The people who tried the food on the spot also felt that what Master Gu said was very reasonable, after all, the two chefs took it very seriously when cooking.

Chef Gu's face was still not good-looking, he glanced at Jiang Li, and sighed after a while.

"Miss Jiang is really powerful, I have always been conceited and excellent at cooking, and in the end I even lost to a young girl. That's it, since your skills are not as good as others, don't be embarrassed. ”

After Chef Gu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Jiang Liang couldn't help but sigh softly when she looked at the other party's depressed attitude, she didn't accept the competition to destroy other people's self-confidence, nor did she want to watch Chef Gu drill the horns.

"Chef Gu, please stay, it's just a discussion, why do you need to mind so much."

Jiang Liang said with a serious face: "What's more, the most important thing as a chef is to make dishes that satisfy the diners and gain the affirmation of the diners." Chef Gu's dishes must be widely popular with diners, otherwise Qianxianglou would not have been famous. ”

"Forehead ......"

Chef Gu was speechless, he didn't expect Jiang Liang to comfort himself like this, but seeing her light expression and sincere eyes, he knew that her words were from the heart.

Being a chef is all about satisfying your diners, and nothing else is so important. Although sometimes fame can bring many benefits, after all, only the taste of food can retain diners.

Qianxianglou is very famous in Anjing Town, but if the taste is not good, it really can't keep the hearts of diners.

"Miss Jiang is right, after all, we are just chefs. It's because I thought too highly of myself, and I was too preoccupied with my appearance. ”

Chef Gu instantly felt that he had figured it out a lot, although he lost, as long as there were diners who were willing to go to Qianxianglou to taste the food he made, he would not lose.

As long as you work hard to give full play to what you can do, you may not really be worse than Jiang Liang.

"Being able to bring a dish that you are satisfied with to the diner's table is also a success!"
