Chapter 349: The Realm of Hundred Practices and Apprenticeship
With Kobayashi Motohama's admission of defeat, the name competition was basically over, and Japanese cuisine, especially sushi, basically lost to Chen Hu, and even his reputation was taken into it.
Didn't you see that the critics and magazine reporters present were all around Chen Hu and praised him? Therefore, the public opinion situation tomorrow or in the next period of time can basically be imagined, and it must be to elevate Chen Hu's status and belittle Japanese chefs, and indirectly make people ignore the failure of Japanese cuisine.
After all, the consequences of losing to a chef who is unscathed are completely different from those of an ordinary unknown chef! The former can put the blame on the enemy chef who is too good, not the Japanese chef. The latter...... It is estimated that it will not even be reported, which is too slap in the face.
The Michelin critics present suggested that Chen Hu should be entertained at a banquet to satisfy their appetites, and by the way, they would complete the procedure so that they could give him a three-star review.
It's just that they thought about it very well, but it's a pity that Chen Hu didn't look down on it, and said with a smile, "I will have time in the future" and sent people away.
A man who started out with tires still wants to rate his cooking skills? Who do you think you are? Give him three stars directly, maybe he still thinks about it, and has nothing to please them? Chen Hu really doesn't like it.
He is not some ordinary chefs now, he thinks that three-star Michelin is the highest standard, and everyone wants to mix up their identities.
To tell the truth, there is no need for sincerity! It is not that there is no chef certification and grade in our country, coupled with cultural inheritance, there is really no need to let a foreigner who has been drinking blood for thousands of years, and it is only in the last two or three hundred years that he has begun to eat cooked food and eat food like a human being.
What's more, there is a genuine problem with their standards. So the three-star Michelin hotel is largely the kind of hotel that looks beautiful, but the taste is really not as good as the general two-rated Western restaurant.
Of course, a three-star Michelin-starred chef like Anthony Neil Matila says otherwise.
But it's the same thing, to ensure that the skills of this kind of chef are passed, and they can represent the face of Western food, but it is really compared with the domestic masters, not ...... I guess they'll cry, right?
Chen Hu sent away chefs and critics, magazine reporters, and Michelin judges from the Japanese food circle who were shocked by his cooking skills, and finally had the opportunity to taste Kobayashi Motohama's final sushi creation, the polygon.
Although a long time has passed at this time, the rice has been cold, and the meat has become a little tasty due to oxidation, it does not prevent Chen Hu from understanding its condition.
Chen Hu picked up one of the pieces of sushi and put it in his mouth.
Not to mention the taste, it is indeed a lot more delicious than the Ichikan of large sushi, but just like that, it is still far inferior to the rich and varied domestic food dishes, but Chen Hu has eaten a taste called tempered in it. even faintly formed a 'meaning' similar to the kitchen heart, and then under Chen Hu's hook, a different picture unfolded in his mind.
The boy suspected of being Kobayashi Motohama worshiped under Ono Jiro's door, and under Ono Jiro's hands, he was tempering sushi day after day.
Chopping wood, carrying water, washing rice, and handling fish feed......
Everything requires years of training, and I don't know if Jiro Ono is investigating Kobayashi Motohama's mentality, or if Jiro Ono exerts the spirit of a landlord and uses a day worker to death.
Anyway, from Chen Hu's personal point of view, if he really wants to learn sushi making, he doesn't need to be an apprentice for ten years to learn the real sushi craft as some sources say. At most, three or five years is enough, and it is also because the processing of materials such as octopus and squid is indeed not something that can be learned in a short time, and it takes a long time to ponder and practice.
As for pinching sushi gods, March is enough!
It is not the three basic skills of Chinese cuisine, such as knife work, heat and seasoning, which take a lifetime to master.
"Perseverance in the 'heart'...... It seems that it is really necessary to meet the so-called god of sushi. ”
Maybe from the other party, Chen Hu can meet something that interests him.
......
The next day.
"Bell, bell, bell. ”
"Who. ”
Chen Hu got up, came to the entrance and opened the door.
"Ahh ”
"Ms. Fushimi. Chen Hu said unexpectedly.
"Good morning, Master Chen Hu, please forgive me for taking the liberty of bothering you. Fushimi Yuki bowed her head and greeted gracefully.
"Uh...... You come in first. Chen Hu said and moved out of the way and motioned for Fushimi Xue to come in.
Fushimi Yuki saluted again and stepped into the house.
Chen Hu didn't close the door, but immediately took out his mobile phone and contacted Xiao Yanagi of the program team.
"Master Chen?"
"Where are you?" asked Chen Hu.
"Downstairs. What's wrong with Master Chen?"
"Well, I need a translator here, so if you're okay, come up. Chen Hu did not hesitate and said his purpose.
"Oh, it's okay, I'll go up now, Master Chen, wait a minute. ”
"Well, you as soon as possible. ”
Not long after, Xiao Yanagi's figure appeared in Chen Hu's sight.
"Master Chen. Xiao Liu stood still in front of Chen Hu and greeted with a slight breath. Obviously, in order to get to him as soon as possible, there was no less strenuous exercise.
"Come in. Chen Hu nodded, noted Xiao Yanagi's attitude, and led him into the room.
"Hey, that's ...... Ms. Fushimi?" Koyanagi thought of the other party's identity, and at the same time understood why Chen Hu called him up, he really needed him to act as an interpreter to communicate.
Moments later, the three sat down in the living room.
"I wonder what happened to you, Ms. Fushimi, when you came here?" With Xiaoyanagi's translator as the intermediary, Chen Hu finally asked the main question.
"This time I took the liberty to come here for a reason. Then Fushimi Xue got up from the chair, walked to the open space next to him, knelt down with a 'plop', bowed his head and saluted, "I want to worship Master Chen Hu as your teacher, and I also ask Master Chen Hu that you can fulfill it." ”
Chen Hu was stunned, and he didn't stand next to him to help, nor did he speak.
He really didn't expect that this Fushimi Yuki would be able to do this for the sake of cooking, kneeling down to him, a foreigner, a man who is at least ten years younger than her, such determination and sincerity towards cooking and the profession of chef are really moving.
"Well, Ms. Fushimi, please get up and speak. Chen Hu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and reached out to hold Fushimi's arm and hold her up.
