Chapter 342: Pressing Forward
Gao Dian looked at the kitchen with a worried look in his eyes, not only for Wei Qiaoyi, but also for himself.
Will the two of them be able to convince the crowd?
Gao Dian didn't know this, but Wei Qiaoyi should be confident in the future, what about himself? What to do on your own?
Thinking of this, Gao Dian was in no mood to chat with Yu Dong beside him.
After a long time, there was movement from the kitchen, and I saw many people pushing food carts out.
The plates on the top of the dining car are filled with delicate steamed buns, which look a little like xiao long bao, but they feel different.
Wang Zhaohua glanced at the bun and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"This is Old Man Wei's Jiumiao buns."
At this time, someone exclaimed on the side.
"It's true, I haven't seen this pastry for a long time, and I don't know how much this Xiao Wei chef has learned." One of the others said with a smile.
Wang Zhaohua looked at this pastry and sighed silently in his heart, this pastry is one of his master's best pastries, and it is an original pastry.
The so-called Jiu Miao Bun refers to the nine kinds of fillings used in it, each of which is carefully crafted.
Of course, the difficulty in making this pastry is not that the nine fillings are used, but the most important thing is that these nine fillings can be independent of each other but affect each other.
This is done by using a special technique to make nine cavities, each of which is stuffed with a filling.
This is somewhat like the practice of Sixi steamed dumplings, but compared with Sixi steamed dumplings, it is much more difficult.
Jiumiao buns are small and delicate, smaller than ordinary buns, and slightly larger than xiaolongbao.
It takes a lot of patience and meticulous craftsmanship to make nine cavities in such a small space and stuff the fillings into them to keep the skin of the bun intact and not affect the appearance.
Jiumiao buns seem to be small and exquisite, but they have a lot of things in their stomachs, and ordinary people can't learn them.
Wang Zhaohua didn't learn this pastry, and he could barely do it, but the effect was unsatisfactory.
Everyone is right, Jiumiao buns have indeed not been seen for a long time, and since his teacher retired due to physical reasons, Jiumiao buns have rarely appeared.
Wang Zhaohua was a little far away, he squinted his eyes, and looked at this Jiumiao bun carefully, Wang Zhaohua nodded secretly, judging from the appearance, it should be very successful.
Gao Dian didn't know what Jiumiao Bun was, but Yu Dong beside him exclaimed in surprise.
Gao Dian learned the name of Jiumiao Bun for the first time, and he couldn't help asking: "What does this bun say?" ”
Yu Dong glanced at Gao Dian and asked, "Aren't you all together?" Don't know about these nine wonderful buns? ”
Gao Dian shook his head, his time in the industry is too short, many things are not clear, and a lot of his knowledge is from the Internet.
And these nine wonderful buns are obviously no longer on the Internet.
Yu Dong hesitated for a moment and explained: "These nine wonderful buns can be seen from the name, there are nine mysteries. A bun is packed with nine different fillings, and every bite you take can taste different from different places. ”
Hearing this, Gao Dian knew a little in his heart, but he didn't care, there were only nine kinds of fillings, what was there to make a fuss about.
Yu Dong went on to explain: "These nine wonderful buns are very difficult to make, and I heard that people use nine kinds of fillings, not nine ingredients. A single filling may require several ingredients. If you do this calculation, you will need a lot of ingredients. ”
Gao Dian listened from the sidelines, and he was a little stunned now.
Yu Dong sighed twice, and then fell silent again.
There are a lot of Jiumiao buns made by Wei Qiaoyi, and all the contestants can taste them, and they are the judges, and they also have a share.
It can be said that everyone is invited to taste it.
"Everyone, please taste it." Wei Qiaoyi said.
The reputation of Jiumiao Buns is not obvious, because of the difficulty of production, so they are basically not found on the market, and they are not particularly old, so it is normal to not know Jiumiao Buns.
Just like Yu Dong next to Gao Dian, he also learned by chance that he had eaten it.
At this moment, he can be regarded as having his wish, he wanted to eat when he was young, but he couldn't afford it.
When the bun was delivered, Gao Dian looked at the Jiumiao bun in front of him, picked it up with his hand, and took a bite.
It was a wonderful taste, and he tasted several flavors in one bite. At first, it is distinct, but slowly it blends together, and the wonderful taste spreads and jumps on the tip of the tongue.
Then he took the second bite and ate it all, and the taste was different from just now, the same wonderful, but different taste.
It is difficult to describe the taste accurately in words, because there are multiple fillings, so the layers of texture and taste are extremely rich.
And each bite tastes different, but it's just as delicious.
Sure enough, it was still that Wei Qiaoyi, and the taste of the noodles made was so wonderful.
Gao Dian sighed silently in his heart, he was already trying hard to catch up, thinking that he could catch up with Wei Qiaoyi's cooking level, but now it seemed that he hadn't caught up yet.
No matter from that point of view, none of the pastries made by Gao Dian can be compared, which is not only a matter of recipe, but also a matter of cooking skills.
The more complex the pastry, the more skilled the corresponding cooking, and it is almost impossible to make complex pastries without superb cooking skills.
Gao Dian had already reached the midstream level of a first-class pastry chef before, and after this period of hard work, Gao Dian took a step forward.
He couldn't quite figure out what level he was at, but he didn't think he was too far from the upper level.
And Wei Qiaoyi's cooking skills are higher than him, that is to say, Wei Qiaoyi's cooking skills are guaranteed to be the upstream level of first-class pastry chefs.
He was a little surprised in his heart, the more he understood, the more he was able to understand Wei Qiaoyi's power.
What surprised him even more was Yu Dong and the contestants in the field.
After Yu Dong tasted it, he was shocked, but his face did not change much. He is also in his fifties, and the city still has this.
His heart was turbulent, but the surface was light.
I only knew that these Jiumiao buns were delicious, but I didn't expect that this young chef Xiao Wei had actually reached this level!
He knew Wei Qiaoyi's reputation a few years ago, and Wei Qiaoyi at that time was much more famous than now, and the youngest first-class pastry chef was not just talking about it.
Later, Wei Qiaoyi, who broke through the first-class pastry chef, suddenly disappeared for some reason, and basically did not show up much.
It was only recently that Wei Qiaoyi's name was mentioned again because of that game.
Sometimes Yu Dong thinks that such a dazzling genius will disappear when he says he will disappear, there must be some reason behind this, maybe it is because after entering the first-class pastry chef, everyone disappeared.
But today, when he tasted the Jiumiao buns she made, Yu Dong knew that he was outrageously wrong.
Where is it difficult to progress, the speed of this progress is simply appalling.
At this time, Wei Qiaoyi's cooking skills were already higher than him.
You must know that Yu Dong is at the upper level of the first-level pastry chef, just to say that the level of the first-level pastry chef is higher than him, not much.
Looking at Wei Qiaoyi's age again, Yu Dong sighed in his heart.
He only felt that he had lived to a dog all these years, and at the same time, he inevitably felt a sense of heroic twilight.
In the field, after tasting many contestants, some of their expressions were intoxicated, and some of their faces were like water.
They...... They were all shocked to be able to make this kind of taste, and they have surpassed them in cooking.
Wei Qiaoyi looked at everyone and said crisply: "How?" Am I qualified to serve as this judge? ”
Wei Qiaoyi's voice was clear, like a wind chime colliding, pleasant to the ear. But in the ears of several people in the field, it seemed a little harsh.
Eligible?
If Wei Qiaoyi is not qualified, then there are very few qualified people.
The pastry chef who had just stood up to question Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi said at this time: "Chef Wei, you are naturally qualified. ”
This person is much older than Wei Qiaoyi, but his attitude is very respectful, and he is like two people who questioned before.
The others also lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Wei Qiaoyi.
Wei Qiaoyi, who was standing in the middle at this time, exuded a strong light and aura as a person.
She used a very strong pastry to directly conquer everyone and oppose her? Now no one dares to oppose it at all.
"Now that we're qualified, let's start the competition, it's been a lot of delay." Wei Qiaoyi said coldly.
She is like an iceberg beauty at this time, and her whole person exudes a cold temperament.
"Wait! Chef WeiYou are qualified to be a judge, but ...... The high chef hasn't proven himself yet. The man gritted his teeth and said.
Wei Qiaoyi's gaze fell on him and said, "I vouch for him, he is definitely qualified." Is that okay? ”
When Wei Qiaoyi said this, Wang Zhaohua's face changed, and he wanted to stop it, but Wei Qiaoyi had already said it and couldn't stop it.
She came to vouch? With what guarantee? Naturally, it is to vouch for it with its own reputation.
Reputation doesn't seem to be of much use, but once you lose it, you will know its importance.
When Wei Qiaoyi said a word, it actually meant that she and Gao Dian were completely tied to a rope.
And for Wei Qiaoyi, this is a very dangerous thing.
If Gao Dian does not reach the level guaranteed by Wei Qiaoyi, then Wei Qiaoyi will lose her reputation, and it may be difficult for her to mix in the chef world at that time, and she will even become a laughing stock.
In contrast, there is nothing to lose face.
Wang Zhaohua regretted it a little.
If he knew that Wei Qiaoyi would say this, he shouldn't have let the two of them serve as referees.
Although there have been temporary changes, he has been here for so many years, and some connections are still there. He pulled down his old face, and he was able to invite two people to serve as judges.
Although this is a little more difficult, it is better than Wei Qiaoyi using his reputation to vouch for Gao Dian.
Wang Zhaohua blocked his chest in one breath, not knowing how to vent.
Everyone present was in an uproar, Wei Qiaoyi vouched, this amount is not light, and many people understand the truth.
Just when everyone thought that the chef would agree to Wei Qiaoyi's guarantee, they didn't expect him to look at Wei Qiaoyi and stubbornly said, "Let Chef Gao prove it himself." ”
Wei Qiaoyi's eyes became dangerous, and she said coldly, "You don't believe me? ”
"I naturally believe in Chef Wei, but since Chef Gao has this level, it is better to prove himself, so as to convince us completely." The man said.
The eyes of everyone present were strange, looking at the first-class pastry master who spoke, and they didn't know why he was so persistent.
Wei Qiaoyi's identity is not a secret, there are still people who know it at the scene, even if they don't know people, under the information of their friends, they can be regarded as knowing.
This is the granddaughter of the old man, offending Wei Qiaoyi is equivalent to offending most of the chef circle.
The apprentices taught by this old man are basically at the level of a special first-class pastry master, and there are many apprentices and grandchildren. Not to mention that this old man doesn't pay much attention to the view of the portal, and has taught many students.
Although this old man has been retired for many years, he will give face.
Wei Qiaoyi used his reputation to vouch for it, normally speaking, he should push the boat down the river and pass like this.
But this one who still doesn't give up, he has to let Gao Dian prove himself.
Wang Zhaohua's eyes were cold, and he looked at the first-class pastry chef in the field, and his eyes were not good.
Is this iron-hearted?
Wei Qiaoyi's words have already reached this point, but the man still does not retreat, of course, according to the established rules, he can indeed do this.
But rules are dead, but people are alive.
He persecuted like this, if Gao Dian's level was not enough, then the guarantee that Wei Qiaoyi said just now would become an empty word!
If he pushes the boat along the river and acquiesces that this matter is over, Gao Dian may be exposed, but not necessarily exposed.
"Xu Jie! I remember this is your man, right? Wang Zhaohua stared at Xu Jie.
"Yes." Xu Jie's face is not very good-looking.
"You instructed this?" Wang Zhaohua stared at him.
When Xu Jie heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "I said no, do you believe it or not?" ”
"Whew! Didn't you order this, and he would bite it to the death? Why don't you pretend garlic for me, let me tell you, if you don't solve this matter for me today, Lao Tzu will quit the alliance! Wang Zhaohua scolded.
When the others heard this, they hurriedly said: "Lao Wang, dissipate your anger, don't say such impulsive words." ”
Wang Zhaohua stared at Xu Jie with unkind eyes.
At this time, Xu Jie's heart was also full of bitterness, this was really not arranged by him.
Although he didn't deal with Wang Zhaohua, he didn't want to do it so badly, just embarrassed him a little, and he was not a person who didn't know how to measure.
"Wang Zhaohua, I didn't lie to you, it really wasn't arranged by me, although he is from my side, but he is also an adult, it is impossible to listen to me like this." Xu Jie said.
When Wang Zhaohua heard this, he calmed down and squinted at Xu Jie, he believed some of this, but he didn't believe it all.
Xu Jie may not have arranged it this way, because it is not a good thing for him to really tear his face. But if it is said that there is no acquiescence of Xu Jie, he still does not believe it.
Wang Zhaohua didn't say anything, he just said that he would quit the alliance, but he was just talking, after all, he was not the boss, and it was not up to him to decide whether to retreat or not.
