During the time when Wang Chongguang was cooking, the person I asked the most was Zhao Haipeng.

I asked him curiously, why did the test Wang Fatzi choose "vegetarian fried bean sprouts, stir-fried shredded potatoes and egg drop soup", these dishes are very ordinary home-cooked dishes, can you see a chef's supreme cooking skills?

After listening to my question, Zhao Haipeng thought for a moment, and then told us: "These three dishes are simple 'standard dishes', and with them, it is completely possible to judge whether a chef's basic skills and experience are solid." ”

At this point, Zhao Haipeng told us in detail that according to the doorway of the Five Organs Temple, these three dishes have examined the chef's three hard indicators of "knife, fire, and heart".

Among them, vegetarian fried bean sprouts are very strict about fire power, because the bean sprouts have a special texture, 98% are water, and the water content of the tip of the sprout tip is too scarce, so it is particularly difficult to handle.

In the temple of the five organs, this dish, if you want to do it well, the requirements for the fire control time are very strict, and it must be accurate to the second, otherwise the fried fire is small and uncooked and has an earthy smell.

Therefore, don't look at a small plate of vegetarian fried bean sprouts, its complexity is actually not lost to a fine dish, in the past it was more "exquisite" to eat, so that the older generation of people have extremely strict regulations for it, how big the pot to put how many bean sprouts, bean sprouts stir-fry a few times to the pot, and then fry a few times out of the pot are to be strictly controlled, master the heat. Otherwise, the fried bean sprouts can't be "crispy", and they will smash their own signboards.

After listening to the rules of bean sprouts, the sweat on my forehead was already covered with a delicate layer, and I admired the breadth of the diet of the Five Organs Temple.

I know better that he himself can definitely meet the standards that Zhao Haipeng said, but as for how far Wang Chongguang can reach, it all depends on the next physical display.

After talking about the knowledge of bean sprouts, Zhao Haipeng told me that compared with the fire test of bean sprouts, the second "fried shredded potatoes" he asked for was more focused on the investigation of knife skills.

Potatoes, with their delicate texture and thin skin, are best suited for stewing and staple food, but are not so suitable for stir-frying and frying.

Because its texture is too delicate, when frying and stir-frying potatoes, it will inevitably cause the phenomenon of "raw core", which is burnt on the outside and may not be cooked on the inside.

Therefore, when potatoes are fried or oiled, they must be cut into strips or sliced with a "male knife", otherwise they cannot be put into the pot.

And shredding potatoes is one of the most frequent means of practicing knife skills among the cooks of the Five Organs Temple.

Shredding potatoes in the Five Organs Temple is by no means as casual as when cooking at home, because it also has strict regulations, generally speaking, a fist-sized potato must be cut out of one hundred and twenty-five plus or minus five strips of silk, and the length must be almost the same.

The ingredients for a plate of shredded potatoes must be controlled in the number of three potatoes, not more, and never less.

"Can't be more, can't be less? Why?!" I was surprised.

In this regard, Zhao Haipeng said with a smile: "Potatoes are more than half of the staple food, and if you fry too much, it will affect the customer's meal, and if you fry less, people will say that you don't have enough portion." ”

...... Hearing these rules, I, a "fake monk" who had not long entered the temple, scratched my head and said, "This is too complicated, isn't it? Can you afford it? A plate of shredded potatoes is only seven or eight fast, and it takes so much effort...... It's too low value for money!"

Listening to my puzzlement, Zhao Haipeng shook his head and told me: "Low cost performance? If you smash your own signboard, you will not be cost-effective!"

As he spoke, Zhao Haipeng said meaningfully that the chefs of the Five Organs Temple in the past had strict requirements for their own abilities, because they made hundreds of meals, spent hard money, and deeply knew the importance of the words signboard, name, and quality.

After saying this, Zhao Haipeng turned his head to look at the kitchen where he was cooking, and sighed slightly and said: "As soon as the day after tomorrow passes, I will go for treatment, this time, I don't know how many months it will take to recover, I don't want something to go wrong with our hotel during this time and ruin the signboard." ”

After listening to Zhao Haipeng's earnest words, I nodded gratefully and heartily in agreement, and then continued to ask curiously: "What about the last egg drop soup?

After listening to my question, Zhao Haipeng smiled, and then gave me a rather surprising answer.

He actually said: "The egg drop soup is not particular, just sprinkle an egg when the water is boiled, I don't let him put starch because ...... I like to drink clear soup. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Haipeng's words almost shocked my jaw.

Such a simple and whimsical theory is not like Lao Zhao's words, and when I was as inexplicable as the fourth child and Meizi, Xiao Shuihe, who has never broken his mouth, told me the truth on behalf of Zhao Haipeng.

After patting my head on the melon seeds, Zhao Shuihe told me proudly: "I don't understand this! My grandson's trick is called 'showing pictures on paper', which is a method specially used to investigate the potential of a cook in our Five Organs Temple!"

To this, I wondered, "What do you mean by examining potential?"

In a smug smile, Zhao Shuihe said that some meals in this world are all four major cuisines, or none of them, this kind of dish is more arbitrary, just like a blank piece of paper, allowing the chef to play at will, this kind of dish, in the Huogong language is called "Xuanbai".

For example, Zhao Haipeng asked Wang Chongguang to make this "egg drop soup", which is a typical Xuan cabbage, because it has no requirements or standards other than eggs in the soup.

Between the words, Shui He gestured: "You add some tomatoes, that's egg drop soup, add some coriander is also egg drop soup, add some sea rice or egg drop soup, even if you add a piece of pig's head meat, it's still egg drop soup!"

After listening to Zhao Shuihe's words, I was empowered and said, "So,...... There is no specific regulation or form of egg drop soup at all, it all depends on the chef's personal preferences, the quality of the ingredients, creativity, mood, mood and so on...... This dish ...... It can see the potential ability and state of people!"

With my words, everyone looked at Zhao Haipeng with admiration.

In our eyes, there is really only full of admiration.

...... After the three dishes, I had no doubts in my heart, and then everyone waited quietly, waiting for the moment to taste Wang Chongguang's true strength!
