Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
What happened in the courtyard of the back kitchen did not affect Feng Shuangxi in the wing, he was standing in front of a stove at this time, concentrating on cooking dishes.
When Feng Shuangxi was fifteen years old, he began to help in the kitchen, and with the continuous improvement of his cooking skills, he became the chef of a restaurant, and later, by chance, he entered Yuelaiju.
It can be said that Feng Shuangxi has been busy in the kitchen all his life, and at his current age, he has seen other things, but he still retains a passion for cooking.
Today, Feng Shuangxi got up very early to get busy, locked himself in the private kitchen in the wing, and cooked the dishes alone, also to prepare for this competition.
Feng Shuangxi put an iron pot in front of him, and a fat fish was stewed in the iron pot, and a burst of aroma overflowed from the iron pot, which couldn't help but make people have a great appetite and couldn't wait to taste it.
This pot of delicious fish soup is the content of the competition prepared by Feng Shuangxi, and the content of the competition he selected is not to let the two people cook by themselves, but to let the two people taste the dishes.
Tasting food is also a kind of knowledge, and a good food expert is not necessarily a celebrity chef, but if you want to become a famous chef, you must first become a food expert.
The so-called food expert is not as simple as saying a few words about deliciousness, but to be able to know the ingredients of the dish by tasting the dish through guò, and tell the characteristics of the dish, as well as the origin, origin, and advantages of the ingredients.
It can be said that this is a profound knowledge, and it is the most important test of a chef's comprehensive ability, which can judge the cooking skills of two people better than asking Yan Nantian and the two to cook a few specialty dishes.
After another half of the incense time, Feng Shuangxi put the stewed fish soup into a white porcelain basin, threw out the spice bag of the stewed fish, and then walked out with the porcelain basin.
......
At this time, the courtyard of the back kitchen was also quite lively, many temporary cooks gathered together, whispering in groups, Liu Qiming and Zhang Hengchun stood together, and seemed to be talking in a low voice.
As for Liu Qiang and Yan Nantian, they also sat under a tree and talked, Liu Qiang's purpose for coming this time was to take Yan Nantian to see Zhou Xuebin, but after hearing about the competition between Yan Nantian and Zhang Hengchun, he was not in a hurry to take Yan Nantian away, but wanted to stay and watch the excitement.
"Boy, you are really a troublemaker, and it has been less than two days since you came to Yuelaiju that you made such a big noise. Liu Qiang stretched out his fist and hammered Yan Nantian's chest, and said.
"Master Liu, you can lightly, my body can't withstand your punch. Yan Nantian joked and asked rhetorically: "Master Liu, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"
"You're embarrassed to say that I didn't come here because of you. Liu Qiang scolded with a smile.
"Because of me?
"I told our master about the test you tested yesterday, and the master is quite interested in your sword skills, so let me take you to meet him. Liu Qiang said.
"Senior Zhou wants to see me?" Hearing Liu Qiang's words, Yan Nantian was a little surprised, and said: "Then I want to try my cooking skills now, will I snub Senior Zhou." ”
"It doesn't matter, our master is studying the dishes, as long as no one alarms him, he won't be distracted by such things, it doesn't matter if he goes early or late. Liu Qiang waved his hand and said disapprerovitically.
"Hmm. ”
Hearing Liu Qiang's words, Yan Nantian put his mind at ease and asked, "Master Liu, according to the identity of Senior Zhou, you won't summon me for the sake of mere sword skills, right?"
"That's natural, although your knife skills are good, but it may not be in the eyes of the spirit chef, what the master values is your potential, if you can get the master's approval, maybe he will directly accept you as a formal cook. Liu Qiang said.
"Then what are we waiting for, you just take me to see Senior Zhou, isn't it?" Yan Nantian's eyes flashed and he said.
If he can be valued by the spirit chef Zhou Xuebin, Yan Nantian can directly become an official assistant chef, and there is no need to continue to try his cooking skills, let alone care about the opinions of these temporary assistant chefs.
"Boy, if you run away without a fight now, you will definitely be regarded as inferior to others, but it will leave a bad impression on people, and it will also reduce the status in the minds of our masters, and you may lose the opportunity to be promoted to help the cook, it is better to stay honestly and compete, if your cooking skills can beat Zhang Hengchun, our master will only appreciate you more, and the promotion to the official assistant chef will also be more secure." Liu Qiang said.
"What Liu Ye said is right, I was a little anxious at that time. Yan Nantian shook his head slightly and said.
"It's just human nature that the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. Liu Qiang said with a smile.
At this moment, there was a commotion around, and only a gang of cooks shouted, "Look, Old Feng is out." ”
"Yes, Old Feng is still holding a porcelain basin in his hand, could it be the content of this competition?"
"No matter what the content of the competition is, let's just watch the show. ”
......
Feng Shuangxi walked out with the porcelain basin, carefully put the porcelain basin on the wooden table, and then glanced around, behind the figures of Liu Qiang and Liu Qiming, his face showed a little surprise.
"Elder Feng, please forgive me for your sudden visit. Liu Qiming greeted him with a smile and said.
"Old Feng, what kind of soup are you making, it's really fragrant. Liu Qiang also strode up, staring at the fish soup in the porcelain basin and asked.
"Two brothers, how did you have time to come to me. Feng Shuangxi squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them and asked.
"I heard that there was a cooking competition here, so I looked for it to see the excitement. Liu Qiming explained.
"I happened to come over, but I didn't expect to catch up with one. Liu Qiang said.
"Since both of you are here, let's be a referee together, some people in the province say that it is old and unfair. Feng Shuangxi said a perfunctory sentence, then ignored the two of them, and said to Yan Nantian and Zhang Hengchun:
"You two come here, the competition can begin. ”
As soon as they heard that the competition was about to start, the other temporary cooks in the courtyard were even more excited than Yan Nantian and the others, and they all came up and asked:
"Old Feng, what is the content of today's competition?"
"Yes, why don't you let the two of them cook a few good dishes?"
"Old Feng, you also cooked it yourself today, could it be that this pot of fish soup is related to today's competition?"
Hearing everyone's gossip questions, Feng Shuangxi couldn't help but turn pale, and scolded: "Okay, you all stand back when you see the excitement, and make room for Zhang Hengchun and Yan Nantian." ”
Feng Shuangxi beckoned, shouted Yan Nantian and the two in front of him, then glanced at everyone, and said: "The content of today's competition is food tasting, and the pot of fish soup placed on the table is something I have just developed recently, and it will be used as the topic of today's competition." ”
"Tsk, this is quite fresh, Feng Lao is really surprised. Liu Qiming nodded slightly, obviously not thinking of this kind of competition method.
"Elder Feng, since the fish soup has been served, let's start the competition. Liu Qiang urged.
"Hmm. ”
Feng Shuangxi nodded slightly, seeing that Yan Nantian and the two had no objections, then he said slowly: "The first round of the competition is 'color', observe this pot of fish soup with both eyes, and say the information you observe, and the person with more accurate information wins." ”
Hearing Feng Shuangxi's words, Yan Nantian and Zhang Hengchun glanced at each other, and both took a step towards the table, staring at the steaming fish soup in front of them and the fish stewed in the porcelain basin.
After listening to the content of the competition and seeing the fish soup in the porcelain basin, Zhang Hengchun showed a confident smile, glanced at Yan Nantian next to him, and said:
"I won this round of competition. ”
