Chapter 1 Chinese and Western food is king
The richest man in Jiang City, Xie Jia, a hot game is underway.
"Players, please listen to the question, the topic of this selection competition is regular Western food, the ingredients in the ingredients area can be taken by yourself, unlimited, the competition time is one and a half hours, do the first evaluation, do not wait for the obsolete to start!" As the sweet voices on the radio ended, all the cooks rushed to the ingredients section and began to choose ingredients in a race against time.
Only Gu Qingyu stood in place, completely dumbfounded. This, hasn't this Xie Shi always been in the business of Chinese catering? Why did the final make a Western food competition?
Speaking of Xie's, it is a food giant in the entire Jiang City, with hotels, tea restaurants, restaurants, and chain stores all over the country, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and the United States. Xie's is a century-old brand, and the family uses ancestral imperial kitchen recipes, but over the years, Xie's has become bigger and bigger, and a food competition is held every year to select excellent chefs to enter Xie's and research new dishes.
She passed five levels and cut six generals, and only got mixed in after looking for relationships, but the final was actually Western food? She has been cooking Chinese food since elementary school, and she doesn't know how to cook Western food at all!
Gu Qingyu ran past a thousand grass and mud horses in her heart, helped her forehead, and saw that the chefs around her had selected the ingredients, she gritted her teeth, and also ran to the ingredients area with the basket, and began to throw ingredients into the basket in a big way.
Everyone cooks food, Chinese and Western food are a family, since she came here with all her heart, there is no reason to abstain, right? Let's give it a go!
After the start of the competition, hundreds of chefs in the spacious glass kitchen were racing against the clock, sweating and sweating to make the delicacies at hand. The glass kitchen can not only have a 360-degree view of every detail of the competition, but also isolate the smell of oil smoke, and the ten judges of the Xie Group sat on the judges' bench, looking focused and serious throughout the whole process.
The person in the middle of the judges' seat is the new president of the Xie family, Xie Changxuan. He has a handsome face, long eyebrows like a sharp sword, eyes like bright stars, thin lips under the bridge of his nose, and a cold side face that outlines a perfect arc and contour.
An Italian haute couture suit wraps his broad shoulders and narrow back almost perfectly, and the buttons of his white shirt are meticulously buttoned, and the royal blue tie is complemented by a limited-edition Patek Philippe on his wrist, adding a touch of dignity and coldness.
His gaze was like a sword, and he landed directly on a petite figure in the corner of the kitchen, frowned, and beckoned the assistant to come over.
"That woman, what's the matter with her?" Xie Changxuan asked in a deep voice.
The assistant followed his gaze, and sure enough, there was a girl among the tall male chefs in the audience, and the other chefs were all according to the requirements of the title of this competition, toasting bread, frying steak frying steak, and making cream soup -
Only that girl, she-
Her Western food practices are very weird! I saw her holding the flour and opening it, then smeared a layer of oil into the pan, then poured the batter into it, flattened it in the pan, and beat an egg with one hand and wiped it evenly, and! She sprinkled a handful of coriander and chopped green onions into itβ
That's right, this person is Gu Qingyu, she doesn't know how to cook Western food, but she still knows some common sense about regular Western food.
The formal Western food referred to in the title generally has seven dishes. They are appetizers, which are appetizers, and appetizers are divided into cold and hot appetizers, such as caviar, foie gras, baked snails, etc. Then there are the soups, which are broadly divided into four categories: clear soup, cream soup, vegetable soup, and cold soup.
The third dish is called the side dish, which is mostly aquatic dishes, and the fourth dish is the main dish, the main dish is steak, mutton chops, pork chops, chicken, duck, goose, rabbit meat, venison, etc., and the way is mostly boiling, frying, roasting, stewing, frying iron steak, etc. Finally, vegetables, desserts and drinks. There are also staple foods, which are usually bread, pasta, tortillas, etc.
So she held the idea of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and came to a Li Dai Taozhuang, planning to cook a table of Chinese Western food! And what she is making now is one of the staple foods of Western food, pizza. Of course, she doesn't make pizza, she makes pancake fruit!
When the fragrant pancakes were ready, she filled them with cooked hot dog sausages, shredded cucumbers, lettuce, and tomato slices, then wrapped them in tomato sauce and coated them with tomato sauce.
Then she began to make the main dish, she also made lamb chops, but she did not fry them directly in a pan, but first patted the lamb chops with the back of a knife, and then repeatedly grasped them with white wine, black pepper, etc., marinated to taste, and then wrapped in tin foil and put them in the oven to bake, after the lamb chops were cooked, she was very bold and smeared some hot sauce on them.
This wave of operations made the assistant next to Xie Changxuan stunned. He could barely convince himself that the cake just now was a different kind of Western food, but this lamb chop was a Chinese food method at all!
He also saw at this moment that the girl didn't know how to cook Western food at all.
"President, why don't I ask her out?" The assistant wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and asked in a low voice.
Xie Changxuan's expression was cold, his eyes were slightly cold, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't affect other people's competitions, and cancel her competition results when the comments are made." β
Gu Qingyu didn't know that his future had been arranged clearly, and he was cooking other dishes by himself.
The first plate, she stole the dragon and turned the phoenix, and replaced it with Chinese-style cold dishes of braised beef, but the ingredients were not prepared, and the spicy and fragrant taste on weekdays could not be made, but it did not stump her, she took the green tea leaves and boiled them, and made fresh and sweet green tea beef.
As for the soup, she directly made a pumpkin cream soup, strictly speaking, this soup can be regarded as Chinese or Western.
As for the side dish, she made sashimi, but instead of Western-style salmon sashimi, she made Chinese-style Shunde sashimi. To eat sashimi, you should first adjust the dipping sauce, use lemon juice and white wine as the dipping sauce, and then serve with shredded white radish, shredded onion, lemon leaves, shredded cucumbers, etc., and the fish fillet is sliced after the fish is chilled.
The main dish is grilled lamb chops, the vegetables are blanched okra, and the final dessert and drink, Gu Qingyu made egg pudding and lemon tea respectively.
Egg pudding, to put it bluntly, is milk steamed eggs, this is a proper Chinese food! This kind of small dish, Gu Qingyu came easily.
After an hour, she finished all her dishes and pressed the finish button on the stovetop.
After a bell, a waitress in a uniform suit with a Xie work badge came over and took all her dishes away, and she was also taken out of the glass kitchen of the competition.
However, Gu Qingyu was not invited to the judges' table to introduce the dishes, but a man wearing glasses announced condescendingly: "This contestant, I regret to inform you that your results in this competition have been canceled, please leave the competition venue." β
