Chapter 35 The winner is king
After Lin Xiaoxiao processed the sirloin steak on hand, he boiled the oil, added garlic cloves, fried it over low heat, and then heated the beef with red wine and lavender to concentrate it into a secret sauce.
The fragrance of the prepared sauce overflowed, and the melon-eating crowds who were watching the play outside were instantly attracted by the fragrance and began to discuss.
The man who was competing with Lin Xiaoxiao in the same kitchen couldn't help but look sideways when he smelled this smell, he had been cooking Western food for so long, and it was the first time he smelled such a fragrant sauce, and he couldn't help but start to get nervous, if he lost in front of this woman, then he wouldn't use it in the restaurant.
When the sauce in the pan begins to bubble, Lin Xiaoxiao puts the steak into the pan and frying it over medium heat until it is medium-rare.
The encounter between sauce and steak is a match made in heaven, and the perfect sirloin steak is served with a sprinkle of black pepper and mint leaves as an accessory, accompanied by foie gras.
Coincidentally, the chef on the other side also finished the dish.
However, although it was the same time, the other chef made twice as many dishes as Lin Xiaoxiao.
Sweet and tempting Italian creamy mushroom soup, atmospheric Balinese lobster, and finally an apple salad to eat after a meal.
Judging from the quantity, the man seems to be slightly superior, but Lin Xiaoxiaocai is not too much, but fine.
The medium-rare steak has a chewy taste, and Lin Xiaoxiao's magical technique makes the meat of the steak elastic and tight.
The two brought out the dishes and put them in front of the referee, and the onlookers couldn't help but start laughing when they saw that Lin Xiaoxiao had only made one steak.
The three judges were the first to taste Lin Xiaoxiao's steak, and they were confident in their restaurant staff, and they didn't believe that such a young girl would make a more perfect dish than their staff.
But when they brought the steak to five centimeters from their mouths, they were shocked by the intoxicating aroma that came to their faces!
The rich aroma of the sauce is mixed with a hint of lavender, and even a faint hint of mint, combined with the meaty aroma of the steak itself, which has already made their saliva flood before they even eat it.
The three judges looked at each other and took the steak into their mouths.
If the judges have a small volcano in mind, the moment the steak is eaten is when the volcano begins to erupt.
The smooth taste and refreshing aroma made them unable to extricate themselves, and it took several bites in a row to gradually calm down the irrepressible excitement in their hearts, this recipe is a genius!
After several people discussed, they directly announced that Lin Xiaoxiao had won and expressed their appreciation to her.
Hearing this result, everyone was stunned.
"Teacher, you haven't tasted me yet, why did you just announce the result!" The man shouted anxiously that he didn't believe he would lose, and that he would lose to a hairy girl.
"Xiaolin, the dishes you cook are all in our hearts, this new chef is indeed stronger than you, didn't everyone smell the aroma just now!" A white-bearded elder said comfortingly.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone never thought that the fragrance just now was actually made by Lin Xiaoxiao.
There were all kinds of comments for a while, but after discussing it for a while, everyone still respected the decision of the three judges and recognized Lin Xiaoxiao as the chef.
"So, can I say a few words?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the three judges on the stage and asked softly.
After the three of them nodded, they motioned for everyone to listen to Lin Xiaoxiao's speech.
Standing in front of everyone, Lin Xiaoxiao's nervous palms were sweaty, and after taking a few deep breaths, he finally opened his mouth, "I know that everyone is dissatisfied with me, the airborne chef, but now that I have also competed, I hope everyone can cooperate with me to run the restaurant." ”
This time, it was finally not that no one responded, and listening to the sparse applause below, Lin Xiaoxiao was still a little moved in his heart.
On the other hand, Lu Hongshen, who returned to the company, was listening to the phone with a heavy face at the moment.
"No, I've been very busy lately, don't come back yet!" Lu Hongshen's tone could not be refused.
But the person on the other side of the phone didn't seem to be afraid of Lu Hongshen at all, and said coquettishly: "Lu, you haven't contacted me for a long time since you returned to China, and you won't let me go back to China to see you!" People miss you so much! ”
The delicate and cute voice did not make Lu Hongshen feel the slightest soft-heartedness, and hung up the phone after refusing again with an indifferent attitude.
The woman on the other side of the ocean, looking at the screen of the mobile phone being cut off, her beautiful eyebrows, a trace of anger in the middle, but it quickly disappeared.
If you don't want me to go back, I'm going to look for you! I hope you don't let me down, my dear Lu! The woman stood up and immediately asked the secretary next to her to book a ticket back to China.
Lin Xiaoxiao originally thought that today would be the first day of busy work, but this sitting was a morning, and he had just ushered in the first couple of guests.
"Two pasta, and one assorted cold cut."
After receiving the menu from the waiter, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately became busy in the kitchen.
However, both dishes are simple and do not take very long.
The guests quickly finished eating and left, and when they were leaving, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to see something in the man's mouth.
I guess it's boasting about my good craftsmanship, Lin Xiaoxiao thought a little narcissistically.
It stands to reason that restaurants with three Michelin stars should not have this kind of sparse number of customers.
In a blink of an eye, when it was time to get off work at night, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't see the second guest, so he couldn't help but be a little listless.
This didn't experience the fun of going to work at all, and it was not as good as when her restaurant was suppressed!
After Lin Xiaoxiao, who was a little decadent, returned home, she saw Lu Hongshen sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
"How's it going to work today?" Lu Hong's deep eyes were stained with a hint of teasing.
"It's not good, it's just boring." Lin Xiaoxiao floated to the second floor without looking back.
She almost wondered if Lu Hongshen had deliberately manipulated her, sent her to a restaurant with no customer traffic, and then tortured her with a mental attack!
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's slightly silent back, Lu Hongshen didn't quite understand, shouldn't it be a very pleasant thing to go to work in his restaurant? Why does Lin Xiaoxiao look listless!
After Lin Xiaoxiao went up to the second floor, he suddenly stopped at the staircase, and his eyes were locked on Lu Hongshen, "Do you mind eating my dinner!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Hongshen was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Xiaoxiao to take the initiative to cook for him, how could there be a reason to refuse this pie in the sky.
After getting a very positive reply, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction, quickly went back to the room to change into pajamas, put on the chef's uniform and went straight to the kitchen.
Is it possible that the craftsmanship of the customer does not meet the taste of the public? Although it has been taken seriously by the master chef of the restaurant, after all, the restaurant still has to cater to the taste of the public as the first standard.
In order to determine whether it was his own problem, Lin Xiaoxiao decided to make some of the most common Western foods on the market and let Lu Hongshen try the dishes!
