Volume 2 Chapter 131 Sea King Qin Chef

Su Rou didn't get an answer, because that 'fool' actually asked her when she would return to X164 at such a time!

I'm really angry, isn't I just thinking about Chen Yan's girl? Where is Miss Ben worse than Chen Yan?

And whether it is public or private, Su Rou will not let Zhouzhou leave; Yongliang Province has suffered a sandstorm that has not been encountered in a century, and it will take at least five days to clear the railway ahead.

Zhouzhou, you are a senior judge of 'three meals a day', and it's not easy to get a million annual salary for nothing, right? I finally left X164 this time, of course, to make the most of this time.

Thinking of this, Su Rou lowered her head and smiled with a red face, and Zhou Zhou, who was laughing, was a little hairy, "Mr. Su, is there anything that can't be done with three meals a day?" ’

"Of course, Michelin has been in business for many years, but it's not easy to deal with.

Yuan Orangutan has only joined Michelin, and there is not much disparagement and hatred for our 'three meals a day', but some chefs are different. ”

Su Rou looked at Zhou Zhou with sparkling eyes: "It's more than fourteen in the ranking of the diligent weapon spectrum, you don't want to be promoted?" ”

"Liter what?" Zhouzhou is a little inexplicable.

"Qin Jian, the king of the sea, the twelfth seafood master of the Qinxing Weapon Spectrum, is only forty-one years old this year, not only ranks the Qinxing Weapons Spectrum, but also won the title of Chinese National Culinary Master, and also won the French Green Belt Medal and the Green Crown Award......"

As Su Rou was talking, Old Man Zhang Zhouxuan snorted coldly and took over: "It turned out to be him!"

Hmph, this guy is proficient in Chinese and Western cuisine, but he forgot his origins, he opened a Michelin five-star Western restaurant next to the West Lake, and often said that Western food is the most nutritious and healthy science, although there are many kinds of Chinese cuisine, but there are all kinds of drawbacks, and even some dishes have to eat insects and snakes, which is not civilized enough!

What a thing, it's a yellow-skinned and white-hearted person! ”

"What the old man said is yes, after the establishment of 'Three Meals a Day', he has attacked us in major media, and said that our chefs are always welcome to challenge, but if they lose, they must obediently admit that Three Meals a Day is a child's play! Oops, that's infuriating! ”

Su Rou puffed out her cheeks as she spoke, and her face was red and white.

"Anyway, we still have time, so let's take a trip."

Su Rou's words may still be suspicious, the old man will definitely not lie; Zhou Zhou frowned slightly, feeling disgusted towards this Qin Jian Qin Chef.

"Okay, okay, let's go together, my old Wu can eat Master Xiao Zhou's god-level food again!"

Wu Jiuyu is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and it is better for Zhouzhou to fight with people every day.

-----------------

A water and a temple in Hangzhou occupy the southeast aura, the water is the West Lake, and the temple is Lingyin.

Qin Jian's French restaurant is built on the water street in the south of West Lake, which is the only authentic French restaurant in Hangzhou.

There is no water on the water street, but the price of food here is the water breaking the sky, and the two-star facilities and hardware dare to give you a four- or five-star price, not to mention Qin Jian's five-star Michelin restaurant......

Today is a good day, at least for Qin Jian.

'Three meals a day' is finally facing head-on? And it's the Zhouzhou chef who has recently become popular in half the sky, which is really good, the kid surnamed Zhou has actually been ranked in the forefront of the Qinxing weapons spectrum in a short period of time, he really wants to see who is sacred; Not to mention being able to crack down on 'three meals a day' by the way, for Qin Jian, the rise of three meals a day will directly affect his vital interests.

Who hasn't heard of his name as a chef of French cuisine? At the age of 21, he became a first-class chef in Huaxia, a three-star Michelin restaurant at the age of 22, and before his 23rd birthday, he was awarded the Green Belt and was in charge of a five-star Michelin ...... Why did that kid in Zhouzhou rise faster than him?

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Zhou Zhou and Su Rou arrived at Qin Jian's restaurant, and the sea king was very polite, and had already brought the service staff and kitchen team to greet him in front of the door in advance.

After inviting Zhou Zhou and the others into the restaurant and giving them seats, Qin Jian did not sit down, but stood in front of Zhou Zhou's side and asked politely.

"Master Zhou, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Su, I want to take shrimp as the theme today, do you have any opinions?

If Chef Zhou is not good at making shrimp, he can also choose other ingredients, and I have all kinds of fresh seafood here. ”

The young man in front of him rose too fast, and Cheng Rin, Huai Anren, He Wenjie, Yuan Gorilla and other masters of the diligent weapon spectrum were defeated by this person one after another, although Qin Jian said that he was arrogant, he didn't dare to really despise Zhou Zhou, he seemed to be generous, but he set the content of the competition in the seafood category.

"Hehe, it's worthy of being the twelfth Sea King in the diligent weapon spectrum......"

Zhou Zhou glanced at Qin Jian with a smile and nodded: "I can eat shrimp." ”

"That's great, eating fish and shrimp naturally requires drinking white wine, so please choose a companion bar......"

Qin Jian snapped his fingers in a dashing manner, and suddenly a well-dressed waiter brought three bottles of white wine to Zhou Zhou, and said softly: "Sir, please choose a bottle of wine as your dinner wine today." ”

Zhou Zhou glanced at the three bottles of wine and found that they were all screw corks, but there was no trademark on the bottle, and there was no information to judge the origin and wine grade.

Old man Zhang Zhouxuan and Wu Jiuyu frowned slightly, and glanced at each other, the surname Qin is going to touch the bottom of Zhouzhou with wine first?

This is a bit troublesome, they haven't seen Zhouzhou drink wine since they got on X164, and wine tasting is not a compulsory course for chefs; Qin Jian came prepared, he wanted to give Zhou Zhou a dismount?

Qin Jian smiled lightly, and opened his mouth in a nondescript Parisian accent: "My friend, I think I need to explain to you......"

"Oh, Chef Qin, please say ......"

Zhou Zhou nodded, his face very calm.

For Qin Jian's style, no matter how unfamiliar Zhou Zhou is, he can see the problem. took out three bottles of white wine without a trademark, and compared his thoughts clearly, and this question came from Qin Jian's careful arrangement, and the difficulty can be imagined.

We really don't know much about wine, but we can't stand it, we have a plug-in, I can't think of it......

"My friend, don't think I'm trying to make things difficult for you.

As you know, I still have a little bit of a reputation in the French restaurant industry, so the owners of some famous wineries have some friendship with me.

Hehe...... All three bottles of white wine were not for sale as a private gift to me.

Since it is not for sale, of course there will be no trademark, and if you misunderstand it, it is really my fault. ”

Qin Jian, who was full of smirks, was like a fox who was preparing to deceive the little puppet: "But it's okay, if Master Zhou, you're not good at choosing white wine, let me make the decision for you?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Zhou quietly.

If in the old days Huaxia relied on a good cousin to distinguish whether the guests were 'diners' who could eat or 'floaters' who were stupid and rich, then the polite waiters in French restaurants would distinguish the guests in the process of choosing wine.

When you meet an upstart who doesn't know anything, the polite restaurant waiters will definitely smile like a gentleman at you and kill you at the same time.

Qin Jian doesn't think that a kitchen school intern from a small citizen family has the ability to choose a suitable bottle of white wine, this is the ability to accumulate experience and consumption quality, but it has nothing to do with cooking skills, and even if Zhou Zhou has recently become a senior judge of 'Three Meals a Day' and joined the variety show of Luli Terrace and made a lot of money, he is just a nouveau riche. Want to choose the right wine? No way!

You know, it is even more difficult to choose white wine than red wine, most red wines can be judged by the vintage, but white wine is more particular, if you blindly look at the year selection, it will make a big joke.

Not to mention that there is not even a trademark on the bottle, even those who have studied French wine can hardly judge the quality of wine based on taste alone, which is the job of a professional wine appraiser.

If it weren't for the innate sharp tongue, even Qin Jian wouldn't dare to say that he would have picked out a more suitable bottle of wine without a trademark; So if Zhou Zhou is willing to 'admit defeat', he will definitely be very gentlemanly to eliminate the embarrassment, and then help Zhou Zhou 'choose' a suitable bottle of wine, of course, a little bit of the upper hand will also make him very happy......

"Oh, I don't really like to let someone else do the tricks for me, so I'd better do it myself."

Zhou Zhou smiled and pointed to the bottle of wine in the middle and said, "Let's try this bottle first." ”

The waiter's eyes swept lightly from Zhou Zhou's body, revealing a professional smile and said, "Sir, do you need to sober up first?" ”

Qin Jian glanced at the waiter and frowned slightly.

What a jerk!

He and Zhou Zhou are like the world's five unique tricks, and when the fight is fierce, any yin trick can emerge in endlessly, but this is a matter between the five uniques, when will it be the turn of the four ghosts of the Yellow River to show off?

Zhou Zhou glanced at the waiter deeply, pointed to the spiral-shaped cork and said, "As a professional French restaurant waiter, you should know better than me that most of the white wine that uses this cork does not need to be decanted, right?"

So this question you just asked me to suspect that you are not professional enough. ”

Metal screw stoppers differ from oak stoppers in that they are often used on wines that are less than five years old, and often have the characteristic that they taste best when they are drunk 'young'.

This kind of stopper is used in both red and white wines, especially in white wines.

Compared with oak stoppers, metal spiral stoppers are less airtight, so this kind of wine has often undergone a process of 'self-decanting' during storage, and can be poured out and drunk directly, without decanting.

This is actually just a matter of common sense for people who often go in and out of Western restaurants, and this waiter is actually a little deliberately tricky.

Of course, he knew that this was the chef's 'guest', but when he saw the chef deliberately embarrassing Zhou Zhou, he dared to pat Qin Jian's fart, who would have thought that not only did the fart hit the horse's leg, but also met a real expert.

The waiter's face turned red when he was said, and he was speechless for a while. Qin Jian glared at him fiercely: "Don't pour the wine yet!"

Hehe... Master Zhou, don't be surprised, he's actually a temporary worker......"

"Oh, since it's a temporary worker, it's forgivable."

Zhou Zhou took the white wine from the waiter, took a sip, nodded slightly, and said, "Master Qin is really extraordinary, I can't imagine that even a top winery like Mouton will give you something for sale?" ”

Qin Jian's complexion changed slightly, and he laughed dryly: "I have won the award......

"There is no doubt that the Mouton estate in Bordeaux has a long history and is of the highest quality.

But if I had to choose, I wouldn't choose a white wine from Mouton......"

Zhou Zhou smiled: "This is actually determined by the grape varieties from which the wine is made.

Bordeaux's Médoc region has the world's finest 'Cabernet Sauvignon', and the Mouton brewing process results in the highest quality red wines. There is no doubt that, like Lafite, Mouton is the aristocracy of red wine.

Unfortunately, the white wines produced by the Médoc 'Sébe', 'Sauvignon Blanc' and 'Muscadé' are not as good as they could be...... God is always fairest, and since Bordeaux is given the best red grapes, there is some discount on the white grapes.

And Mouton is notoriously inconsistent, sometimes surprising, sometimes mediocre; Plus, it's always best at making red wine, so if I had to choose, I'd decisively eliminate this one. ”

Zhou Zhou pointed to the bottle of white wine in the middle.

"Take it......"

Qin Jian took a long breath and asked with some itchy teeth, "Don't you tell me that the chef school is already extravagant enough to let students practice tasting the top French wines?" ”

"Well, I didn't learn it in school."

Zhou Zhou's tone was flat, just not to tell you why I would judge the wine, because you wouldn't believe it.

"And where did you learn this?" Qin Jian was extremely curious.

Old man Zhang Zhouxuan and Su Rou also looked at Zhouzhou, yes, where did you learn?

"Hehe, it's a secret ......"

“......”

“......”

Qin Jian secretly scolded his mother in his heart, but his face was still calm: "My friend, the remaining two bottles of wine, I don't know how you will choose?" ”

"Let's start with the bottle on the left."

Zhou Zhou nodded at the waiter.

"Master Zhou, please."

The waiter changed his previous contempt for Zhou Zhou, carefully opened the bottle of wine, and very respectfully handed the wine glass to Zhou Zhou with both hands.

Taking the wine glass, Zhou Zhou took a sip lightly, and after being silent for a long time, he glanced at Qin Jian with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, and then said to the waiter: "Please open the bottle on the right too." ”

"Okay Master Zhou, please taste it."

Taking the wine glass handed by the waiter again, Zhou Zhou tasted it first, then hesitated slightly: "Is there pure water?" ”

"Of course, sir."

The waiter quickly took the water, Zhou Zhou took the pure water and rinsed his mouth, picked up the wine glass again and tasted it, and was silent for more than ten seconds before he said: "Master Qin's communication is really broad, from Bordeaux to Burgundy, are the owners of the wineries in France your friends?"

That's right, I think the best white wine is from Burgundy.

This is still determined by the grape varieties from which the wine is made, and perhaps from the moment Chardonnay appeared on the planet, it was destined to be the best raw material for making white wines......"

Zhou Zhou said calmly: "What made me embarrassed just now was that these two bottles of white wine turned out to be white wines of premium GRANDCRU quality from Burgundy.

It can be difficult to choose one of the two of them as a companion wine for today.

Master Qin, this is embarrassing me......"

"This guy just gave birth to a dog's tongue! It's not easy! ”

Qin Jian was secretly surprised in his heart, and looked at Zhou Zhou with some solemnity: "It's not so much a difficulty, it's more a test."

Master Zhou, don't be surprised, after all, not everyone is qualified to let me cook for him! ”

"Understood."

Zhou Zhou turned the crystal wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Then trouble Master Qin." ”
