Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Zhang Hengchun's words are not arrogant, but the self-confidence accumulated by years of chef experience, which is not formed overnight, but through time and sweat.

Tasting food is a profound knowledge, testing a chef's comprehensive ability, and this is precisely the need for time and experience to accumulate, Yan Nantian is only sixteen years old this year, even if he started to learn cooking at the age of ten, he has only learned for five or six years, and he can't compare with Zhenghengchun at all.

"Boy, you have to be serious, you don't have an advantage in this round of competition. Liu Qiang patted Yan Nantian on the shoulder and admonished.

"I know. Yan Nantian responded, and the expression on his face was also quite solemn.

Yan Nantian is not lacking in chef experience, because his actual age is older than Zhang Hengchun, but he has not been in Tianyuan Da 6 for a long time, and he is not familiar with the cooking skills and ingredients here.

Of course, although Yan Nantian is very cautious, it does not mean that he is not confident, although the cooking skills of the two worlds are different, the essence of cooking is the same.

"Give you these two blank sheets of paper, and write down the information you have observed on them. Feng Shuangxi said a word, motioning for the others to stand farther away.

After hearing Feng Shuangxi's words, Yan Nantian and the others stepped forward and carefully observed the pot of fish soup, and the rest of the cooks also poked their heads and quietly observed.

This pot of fish soup is milky white, with a fish at the bottom of the fish soup, scattered green vegetables floating on it, and the fish meat is light gray, and the texture of the fish skin can be faintly seen, just looking very delicious.

Yan Nantian looked at this pot of fish soup, the dishes on the earth pay attention to 'color, flavor and flavor', so the tasting of food is also from these three aspects, the so-called 'color' is to observe the appearance, fragrant is to smell the smell of the dishes, and taste is to taste the taste of food.

At this time, not only Yan Nantian and Zhang Hengchun were observing the fish soup, but the rest of the cooks were also observing, but everyone was very well-behaved, and no one made a sound.

After observing for a while, Yan Nantian and the others picked up a brush and recorded it on a blank piece of paper, and wrote down all the information they had obtained from observing the fish soup on the paper one by one.

"You two have observed?" Seeing that both of them had put down their brushes, Feng Shuangxi asked.

"Observe it. ”

"Yes, Old Feng. Yan Nantian and the two responded one after another.

"In that case, let's talk about it, and whoever can observe this fish soup and get the most information will win the first round of the competition. Feng Shuangxi said.

"Then let me start with that. ”

Zhang Hengchun took a step forward, faced the many cooks around, unfolded the piece of paper in his hand, and let the many cooks around him watch, only to see that there were four words written on it, namely coriander, tuna, boiling for an hour, and Xuanming River.

These people around are all cooks, and after seeing these four words, they understood most of the meanings, some of them showed a sudden expression, and some of them frowned and pondered.

"Hengchun, you explain something to everyone, what do you mean by writing these words?" Feng Shuangxi said with a smile.

"Okay, Old Feng. Zhang Hengchun nodded, then walked to the table, pointed to the pot of fish soup and said:

"Judging by the color, shape, and taste, the green dish sprinkled on this pot of fish soup should be coriander for garnish and flavor, so I wrote the word coriander, and based on the shape, color, and size of this fish, I judged that this should be tuna. ”

Tuna is a common fish, this fish has tight meat, fresh taste, and fewer bone spurs, however, this fish also has a disadvantage, that is, it has a great earthy smell, and if the average person does not cook it properly, the fish soup will also have a fishy smell.

"Zhang Hengchun, everyone is familiar with coriander, and everyone can see tuna, but how do you judge this fish soup, it has been boiled for at least an hour. One of the cooks wondered.

"Quite simply, the meat of tuna is hard and not easy to cook, and this pot of fish soup is milky white and rich in color, which has refined the aroma of the fish, and cooking on high heat can easily damage the fish, and it takes at least an hour to cook on low heat. Zhang Hengchun explained.

"It's true that the meat of tuna is hard, and the smell of fish is strong, so ordinary people rarely eat this kind of fish, and it really needs to be boiled over low heat to make it more delicious. A makeshift assistant chimed in.

"As for the Xuanming River I wrote about at the end, I am talking about the origin of this fish, which should be the Xuanming River on the north side of Wujiang Town. Zhang Hengchun continued.

"Tuna is a fish with a wide range of branches, how can you be sure that this fish is from the Xuanming River?" Feng Shuangxi squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

Feng Lao is right, the distribution of tuna is indeed wide, but the location of the Xuanming River is peculiar, the water quality is warm, the perennial does not freeze, the fish produced is fat, the skin is smooth, and it is more delicious than the tuna produced in other places. Zhang Hengchun said.

"Yes, there are talents from all over the country. Feng Shuangxi sighed with emotion and praised: "It is indeed quite difficult for you to judge the boiling time and the origin of tuna by observing it." ”

Hearing Feng Shuangxi's affirmation, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Hengchun's mouth, turned his head to look at Liu Qiming, and now nodded slightly to himself, and suddenly, the smile on his face became even stronger.

Zhang Hengchun observed very carefully, it seems that this cooking skill is indeed at the right time. ”

"Yes, if it weren't for years of experience, how could we have been able to tell the boiling time and the origin of the tuna just by looking at it. ”

"In my opinion, he won this game, and that kid definitely can't beat. Many temporary cooks chattered.

Feng Shuangxi pressed his hands weakly, signaled the surrounding people to be quiet, turned his head to look at Yan Nantian, and said, "Little Brother Yan, Brother Zhang has already said his judgment, now you can say your own judgment." ”

Feng Shuangxi's words immediately attracted everyone's attention to Yan Nantian, only to see Yan Nantian smile slightly, and said:

"Old Feng, my judgment is basically the same as that of Zhang Hengchun. ”

"Hmph, the kid has no basis for what he said, who knows if what you say is true or false. Liu Qiming snorted coldly and questioned.

"It's just that you can't judge it at all, but you just want to fool the past and turn your piece of paper around for everyone to see. A makeshift cook chimed in.

"Yes, even I can't tell where tuna comes from, how can you be a hairy child. Another cook questioned loudly.

Seeing the chaos of the crowd, Feng Shuangxi signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said to Yan Nantian: "Little Brother Yan, since someone has raised doubts, please cooperate." ”

"Good. ”

Yan Nantian responded, turned over the blank paper, and showed it to the temporary cooks around, only to see a few words written on it, namely snow cabbage, boiling for an hour, Xuanming River, tuna, and Zhang Hengchun's previous judgment.

"Ah, it's exactly the same as Zhang Hengchun's judgment. ”

"This kid really has some skills, it seems that we really underestimate him. ”

"Yes, this kid is only how old he is, and his future is definitely limitless. After seeing the content on the white paper, many of the helpers exclaimed, put away their previous contemptuous gazes, and their faces had a touch of respect.

Not only were many cooks surprised, but Zhang Hengchun, Feng Shuangxi, Liu Qiming, and Liu Qiang also showed surprised looks, obviously they didn't expect Yan Nantian to judge so accurately.

"Little Brother Yan, although you are not big, your cooking skills are extraordinary, and you admire you. Feng Shuangxi said with sincere appreciation.

"Old Feng was polite. Yan Nantian said modestly.

The reason why Yan Nantian can judge such preparation is that he has many years of cooking experience, and secondly, he has a certain element of luck, because according to the previous memory of this body, Yan Yunhua is very good at making tuna, and he has also specially explained the characteristics and origin of tuna.

"Old Yan, now that the judgment of the two of them is the same, how will this first round of competition be decided?" asked Liu Qiming.

As soon as Liu Qiming's words came out, everyone looked at Feng Shuangxi, after all, he was the referee of this round of the game, and he had the right to decide on this round of competition.

"The judgment of the two of you is the same, in my opinion, it is better to ......be peaceful" Feng Shuangxi pondered for a moment, and was about to say the result when Yan Nantian interrupted him and said:

"Old Feng, I observed it again just now, and there are some new ones, I don't know if it can still be counted if I say it now?"

Hearing Yan Nantian's words, everyone looked at him, after the competition just now, no one dared to peep at him anymore, if Yan Nantian said one more piece of information, he would pass the previous Zhang Hengchun, and he would also win this round of competition.

"Okay, let's talk about it. Feng Shuangxi nodded in response, and if it wasn't for the last resort, he didn't want a draw.

"Old Feng, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a female tuna. ”
