Chapter 41: The Gambling Fight Begins
After a simple greeting, poor Fang Minghua and Li Dazhuang went to the back kitchen to help, while Fang Cailing and Lin Jie came to the main hall of the restaurant, found a place to sit down, and directly ordered a plate of tuna noodles.
"Come, how about a taste of my chef's craft?" Fang Cailing handed over a fork, her face full of expectation.
Lin Jie knew in his heart that Fang Cailing was testing his ability, and naturally hoped to be able to be more sure in the gambling battle with Jin Bi.
"The taste is smooth, it's okay, but it doesn't completely exude the umami of tuna, this fish is probably not fresh, and this noodle is a little scattered, not very chewy."
After eating a few bites, Lin Jie made a judgment, if this noodle is faced with ordinary customers, it will be fine, but in the face of the brilliant competition, I am afraid it is far from enough.
You know, although the means of resplendence are not complimentary, their chefs are well-known, and many of them are Michelin-certified, which is why the splendor.
"Sure enough, do you have any ideas?" Fang Cailing shook her head, the chefs she could dig up were only at this level, and many things needed to be mastered by herself, but even she had not touched many ingredients, such as Langbai strips.
"Am I not here?"
Lin Jie smiled slightly and said, "With me here, there is no need to worry about anything!" ”
Fang Cailing pursed her lips, a touch of helplessness flashed on her face, and said, "Lin Jie, this time my sister has put her life on you, it's all up to you." ”
Lin Jie nodded and smiled, and said, "It's okay, you can just take a look." ”
The voice fell, and suddenly there was a noise outside the door, following the prestige, it was the golden and brilliant person who arrived, and it was Ma Rulong who walked in the front, with a high-spirited appearance, like a fighting.
Behind him was a row of figures wearing chef uniforms, and several people carrying large bags of ingredients, looking quite well prepared.
"Miss Fang, it's early!" Looking at Fang Cailing and Lin Jie who came out, Ma Rulong directly ignored the latter, and was about to pinch Fang Cailing's little hand, this well-known goddess in Nanhai City, anyone who sees it will be tempted, and he is naturally no exception.
Especially when I saw Lin Jie, I wanted to show off even more, and by the way, I kissed the goddess Fangze.
However, Fang Cailing took a step back, let Lin Jie block in front of her, held Ma Rulong's hand, and said with a smile: "Ma Gongzi came really early, he looks full of confidence!" ”
Seeing Lin Jie, Ma Rulong's heart couldn't help but feel angry, this guy repeatedly ruined his good deeds, and even humiliated him in person, if it weren't for Fang Cailing's face, he wouldn't have disdained to shake hands with this guy.
Snorted, and said: "That's, who doesn't know that our brilliant master is a golden sign in the entire South China Sea, and your kid can be regarded as picking it up today, and I am fortunate to be able to see our brilliant master in charge, maybe there will be a chance to taste it for free, it is really cheap and profitable." ”
As if he was too lazy to talk to Lin Jie, he raised his eyes and turned his gaze to Fang Cailing's body, and asked, "But it should be a pleasure to see the goddess Miss Fang in charge today." ”
"Ma Gongzi, you misunderstood, this is the chef who participated in today's competition." Fang Cailing smiled slightly, her jade-like fingers lightly touched Lin Jie, and she spoke lightly.
"Him?" Ma Rulong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, as if he had heard some Arabian Nights-like joke, and it took a long time to stop laughing, and said: "Miss Fang, even if you want to admit defeat, you have to do your best, send such a hairy boy over, are you making me laugh?" ”
"A fisherman who has stepped on shit luck, and he actually wants to cook on your behalf in the Champs, you must be joking with me, right?"
"Do you think I'm joking?" Fang Cailing was a little annoyed, although she hadn't seen Lin Jie's cooking skills either, but being ridiculed like this, she couldn't help it, after all, Lin Jie was invited by her, didn't she indirectly slap her in the face?
Seeing that Fang Cailing's tone changed, Ma Rulong still didn't restrain himself, but sneered: "Miss Fang values this hairy boy so much, shouldn't she want to support him?" ”
"Ma Rulong!" Fang Cailing's face was completely ugly, and he shouted angrily: "You speak carefully, if you don't dare to compare, I don't mind if you admit defeat directly." ”
"How is this possible?" Ma Rulong waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "How can we retreat without a fight, not to mention that Miss Fang is so humble, we have the chance to win, how can we give up so easily?" ”
When the words fell, two more cars roared in, Zheng Zixin and Sun Siming also came, and the competition between the top restaurant brand in Nanhai City and the goddess of the city flower naturally alarmed many people.
Sun Siming greeted Lin Jie warmly as soon as he got out of the car, and after learning that Lin Jie was actually in charge today, he repeatedly said that he wanted to see Lin Jie's cooking skills, but it made Ma Rulong, who had just spoken wildly, a little embarrassed, and he thought about it with Zheng Zixin on the side, not knowing what to say.
With the passage of time, all kinds of audiences have also come to come, almost all the sons and daughters of every family have come, and many CEOs of the catering industry have also come to join in the fun.
At noon, an Audi drove slowly, and the two judges of the Nanhai Food Association finally arrived. Due to the geographical environment of Nanhai City, in order to discover better chefs, the Food Association was born at the right time, and held food competitions all year round, but the champion is almost every year, which makes many people have lost confidence in this.
However, it cannot be ignored that the food association has a certain authority, and with the strength of the Fang family, these people will not make any biased judgments, and they are indeed good judges.
It was lunchtime, and the judges had already arrived, and the competition began at this moment.
This time, the gambling fight is divided into three parts, cold dishes, hot dishes and a specialty dish, as for the ingredients and seasonings used, all by their own configuration, there is not much demand.
The golden brilliance is obviously menacing, and even already knows the rules of the gambling fight, and actually sent three chefs, each good at a kind of dish, and all kinds of ingredients are also well prepared, tuna, black green grouper, etc.
Looking at the appearance of the brilliant group of people who were ready, Fang Cailing's expression was obviously a little ugly, these guys from the Food Association had never leaked these news to her.
The two judges noticed Fang Cailing's cold gaze, smiled awkwardly, and explained in a low voice, this news was not leaked by them, but by someone in the food association.
Fang Cailing didn't delve into this, the matter has come to this point, but he coldly told the two of them to evaluate the cooking later, but be fair and just, the two judges nodded again and again, compared to the brilliance, this Miss Fang is not something they can provoke.
At this time, the two sides have already begun to prepare for it.
The resplendent is a purple forest salmon, the best choice for cold dishes, look at the appearance of the salmon, the scales are shiny, and the struggle is full of energy, obviously carefully selected.
In comparison, Lin Jie's handwriting seemed a lot more vulgar, he actually took a bunch of scallops and sea urchins out, not like they were caught from the deep sea, but like they were picked up by the beach, and even Fang Cailing was speechless for a while.
This kid, she has prepared so many good ingredients, salmon and the like, but she wants to use these things he brought himself, I really don't know what is going on in my head.
But it's not good to blame Lin Jie at this time, after all, he is the chef in charge, and she doesn't have the certainty of winning all of today's game, so she can only put all her hopes on him.
I hope this kid doesn't make any mistakes.
"Hahaha, Miss Fang, are you sure this kid knows what a cold dish is, maybe this kid will give you a cold shell to supplement calcium for the two judges!" Ma Rulong laughed out loud when he saw this scene, and Zheng Zixin and the sons on the side also showed mockery.
They thought they could see the goddess show off their demeanor today, but they didn't expect that such a hairy boy was sent, and he was also a fishing master who was praised by Sun Siming that day.
However, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the fishing master is not necessarily a real chef, and it is enough to see from this moment that this kid is obviously a stunned young man, where to use scallops and sea urchin to make cold dishes.
It seems that today I can't see the goddess in charge, and I can enjoy the performance of a fool.
And Sun Siming, who was sitting on the side, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a light smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, with what he knew about Lin Jie these days, he didn't have enough confidence in it, this guy would never agree.
Those things that seem incredible, maybe this guy's body, can really be realized, just like fishing that day.
I really didn't come in vain today!
"Da Zhuang, what do you say the master is doing?" Fang Minghua and Li Dazhuang in the back row muttered: "Can sea urchins and scallops still be used as cold dishes?" ”
"I don't know, but the food that Xiaojie cooks in the restaurant in our town is a must!" Li Dazhuang admired Lin Jie and praised him repeatedly.
Fang Minghua frowned when he heard this, the resplendor is not comparable to the restaurants in the town, today's game is too important, I hope this master is really sure.
And in this moment's effort, Lin Jie has already dealt with all the sea urchins and scallops, compared to the chef who is playing with salmon on the side, he is not slow, which makes the latter secretly surprised in his heart.
How did he know that what Lin Jie was performing at the moment was also one of the eight tricks of the fisherman, the quick knife, a knife technique specially set up for dealing with seafood, and he did not practice less on weekdays.
At this point, it's just a normal play.
