Chapter 97: Give her a little color and see
Even if he tasted Jiang Li's cooking with his own mouth, he still didn't change his arrogant temperament, and still thought that Jiang Liang would win him because it was a fluke.
You must know that he is a famous chef in Rongquan City, even if he goes to the provincial capital, his superb skills are the number one, and it is not something that a little girl in Jiang Li can win at all.
"Wouldn't it be better if this girl dared to come? In this way, you can defeat her more directly, and prove that it was this girl who calculated that you won by luck last time. You can also let everyone in Rongquan City see what you are capable of. ”
The assistant chef on the side listened to Boss Cai's sneer, and immediately flattered him cleverly: "Last time, everyone thought you really lost to a little girl, but this time I just gave her a little color!" ”
Listening to the words of the cook, Boss Cai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and after a little thought, he felt that this made sense, and he was more motivated to do things.
Just when a few people were talking about Jiang Li, Jiang Li's side officially started cooking.
Jiang Liang had already started to process the ingredients when everyone was still struggling with what to cook, and there was not much time for the competition, only two hours, she was the only one by herself, although there was plenty of time, it was not too easy to make everything perfect.
Jiang Liang also wanted to solve the problem quickly, so as not to waste time here.
She wants everyone to know that she is not only a chef representing Baiweiju, but a skilled chef Jiang Li!
Jiang Liang secretly decided in his heart that he would let these people who looked down on him lose to doubt their lives later.
After a period of hard work, his skills have indeed made great progress, not only the knife skills have improved a lot, but also added some of his own understanding of the ingredients to develop very creative dishes.
In fact, among the chefs present, there are also many who have superb skills, in order to be appreciated by Zhang Zhixian, it can be said that they are full of tricks and all kinds of show off skills.
However, unlike Jiang Li, most of the chefs brought help to cook the ingredients, and they were on the side to guide and did not participate in the whole process.
Unlike these people, Jiang Liang did everything himself, but he attracted the attention of the judges.
"Where did this little girl come from, she has good knife skills."
Zuo Lao, who had not made a sound, suddenly spoke and looked at the master on the side.
Hearing this, the master hurriedly looked through the registration for the competition, checked it, and then answered the question of the old left.
Zuo Lao is the dean of Taoyuan Academy in the city, and he has an indifferent temperament, so he is not very interested in these things, but because he has a good relationship with Zhang Zhixian, he was invited here.
He usually drinks best, and he likes Du Kang more than food, but his research on food is much stronger than that of Zhang Zhixian, who is not good at appetite.
Zuo Lao could clearly feel that among the people present, the movements of Jiang Liang when cutting vegetables were particularly smooth and beautiful, which could be said to be pleasing to the eye, but it was not like an ordinary woman who gave people a feeling of weakness, but was full of strength.
He was a little more curious about Jiang Li.
After a lot of effort, the master finally found Jiang Li's registration, and hurriedly approached Zuo Lao's side and whispered to him.
"This girl is the chef of Baiweiju, Baiweiju has a good business in Anjing Town, and she used to be able to compete with Qianxianglou, but in recent years, it has not been as good as before."
"Oh?"
Zuo Lao listened to the master's introduction, nodded, and turned his head to look at Jiang Li.
Wang Fushen on the side saw that Zuo Lao was paying so much attention to Jiang Li, so he couldn't help but ask.
"It seems that Zuo Lao is looking forward to the dishes made by this girl? I don't know what kind of taste Zuo Lao likes, light or heavy? I don't know if this girl's cooking will be able to meet your old tastes. ”
Wang Fushen has always relied on the ancestral property of his family to live, and he does not learn or know how to do it on weekdays, and Zuo Lao has always disliked this kind of person. However, the other party asked himself in a good voice, and he naturally didn't look good, so he just nodded lightly.
"This girl looks like she has a good temperament, which is very different from the few next to her, so it arouses the curiosity of the old man."
In fact, the chefs who came to the competition all have the ability and have their own unique secret recipes, and they only need to wait for the ingredients to be ready before cooking themselves, so they will not go to great lengths to deal with those difficult ingredients themselves.
However, such a move is suspected of being lazy in the eyes of Zuo Lao, and I feel that these chefs are not focusing on one thing, but have wasted their basic skills because of their own identity, and even if the dishes produced in this way are not bad, they are also lacking a little bit of a feeling of being done in one go.
"It's the first time I've seen a chef's competition, so I don't know the ins and outs."
Zuo Lao is not a chef, as the so-called insiders look at the doorway, laymen look at the lively, some things that seem sparse and ordinary to insiders are incomprehensible in his opinion. "The old man just thinks that the ingredients are not handled by himself, is it a little worse?"
In his opinion, the cooking skills competition, to compare is the skill of each cook, if the ingredients are processed by the kitchen, then it is not possible to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the knife work, but it has become a knife work competition to help the kitchen?
He didn't understand anything.
"Whether the ingredients are handled by yourself or not depends on the chef's habits."
When Zhou Yuan heard Zuo Lao say this, he immediately felt that he might be referring to Boss Cai, and hurriedly defended: "Many celebrity chefs will take their apprentices by hand, so the apprentice's handling of ingredients can also reach the level that the chef himself wants, and at the same time, this way can also exercise the apprentice's skills." ”
"Isn't it true that you can better understand the ingredients to be cooked by handling the ingredients yourself, and you will have a better grasp of the heat when you put it in the pot?"
Zuo Lao was not persuaded by Zhou Yuan, on the contrary, he felt that this statement was just a sophistry. How can the chef know the freshness of the ingredients and use this as a judgment to process the ingredients without handling the ingredients themselves?
As soon as he saw that Zuo Lao disagreed with his own opinion, Zhou Yuan's expression suddenly became gloomy, but although he was the president of the Rongquan City Chamber of Commerce, he had nothing to do with Zuo Lao on weekdays, so although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't say anything more.
Bai Xian didn't have the time to deal with the dispute between the two of them, he just wanted to see the craftsmanship of these chefs as soon as possible, he was a person who likes to eat, and when he heard that there were chefs with good skills, he wanted to join in the fun, and this time he was able to taste the craftsmanship of so many chefs in one go.
Among them, he likes the chef's skills of several restaurants, and he usually has to make a reservation for a meal, but now he can satisfy him in one breath, and he feels better just thinking about it.
