Chapter 972: Old Man An's Transformation
"Even if you can master the cooking method of this dish and present this mutton soup perfectly, it still can't compare to Plum Blossom Ten." Old man An said: "I can tell you very responsibly that the cooking skills of Plum Blossom Ten are even above the original Plum J, but because Plum J is better at communicating, he will be pushed to that position." If you want to win the next match, you'll have to put a lot of thought into it. ”
Old Man An himself didn't expect that these words would blurt out so naturally.
Originally, for him, it would be good to let Cai Youyou win two competitions.
In this way, she will not be looked down upon, she will not lose the face of the An family and the young master of the Dark Pavilion, and she can let Old Man An achieve the most fundamental purpose of holding this competition.
Mr. An originally wanted Cai Youyou to give up his desire to innovate, but according to Mr. An, when cooking dishes in the future, he strictly followed the most traditional rules.
However, after these two days of competition, Old Man An has unconsciously changed his mind.
Through the observation of these two days, he found that the child did not respect the tradition, let alone lay a solid foundation.
On the contrary, where she needs to abide by the rules, she handles every move very rigorously and seriously.
What the child is doing is not to deviate and destroy traditions, but to be flexible, as she herself says, while not forgetting her roots.
She wants to take what she has learned and incorporate into traditional and classic dishes to create something unique and extraordinary!
Not only that, the old man felt that Cai Youyou also made him understand another truth.
Children are not a canvas in the hands of the elders, and the elders should not just think about painting their favorite colors on top of that canvas, which will only ruin a child in the end.
By observing Cai Youyou's performance on the field, Mr. An's thoughts have also changed.
Now, he wants to see that kid cooking with that kind of energy and spirit, and he wants to see that kid keep winning!
Listening to Old Man An's earnest teachings, Cai Youyou nodded seriously.
Immediately after lunch, she went into her study and began to write and study, carefully preparing the dishes she was going to present for the competition in three days' time.
Cai Youyou still remembers that when she first followed Mo Xun to the East Star Alliance Huaxia Food Academy, Director Wang happened to be sorting out the spices.
At that time, while sorting out spices, Director Wang told her a lot of basic knowledge about spices.
Spices are a material that is widely used in food cooking and processing. They may have a strong aroma, or a pungent taste, or can be used for coloring, or can be used to increase appetite, or are good for digestion, and can give food a characteristic flavor, color, and pungent taste.
Spices are such things that can be blended and used to create a multiplicative effect of fragrance.
However, the more types of spices you blend, the more the smell characteristics of each spice will be suppressed. If you mix it randomly, it is more likely to produce a disgusting miscellaneous smell.
As Mr. An said, if you want to reconcile Baiwei, it is indeed a knowledge that requires in-depth study......
