Chapter 406 is better than a special chef
Gesen was very surprised, and couldn't help but remind Wang Lun: "Mr. Wang, I can see that the significance of this competition is not small, are you sure you really want to go into battle by yourself?"
As a standard gentleman, he didn't want his hotel to win too easily, Wang Lun nodded with a smile, indicating that he had already decided so.
Yang Jizhong was helpless. Wang Lun had to do this, and he couldn't help it.
Luo Weirui deliberately smiled at this time: "If Mr. Wang wants to do this, wouldn't it be too boring for me to win Mr. Wang?"
Wang Lun saw that the other party was mocking, and counterattacked: "Isn't that just in line with Manager Luo's wishes, the initiative to negotiate the price can be in the hands of Manager Luo, if Manager Luo thinks it's boring, why don't we compete?"
How could Luo Weirui let the cooked duck fly, hehe said: "You see that all the preparations are ready, let's compete." ”
Wang Lun smiled.
Luo Weirui directly ordered a celebrity chef, and then said: "Now there are three kinds of vegetables: eggplant, pepper, and green beans, I suggest making a fried green pepper with green beans, the condiments are the same, and the kitchenware is the same, if Mr. Wang has no opinion, you can start." ”
"Good. Wang Lun took the chef's uniform and put it on.
Stir-fried green beans, Wang Lun has made it more than a dozen times at home, and the steps are very clear, at least he can cook this dish.
As for the heat, the amount of condiments and other aspects that directly test the chef's skills, Wang Lun knows that in the eyes of everyone, this is definitely his disadvantage, but he doesn't care at all.
Wang Lun stood in front of one of the open kitchen counters, and all kinds of high-end condiments were placed on the table, even the water was made of French Evian mineral water, and there were only two kinds of ingredients, a dozen green beans and two green peppers.
Bang bang bang.
On the left side of the open kitchen counter, the special chef has already begun to cut the green beans, which are cut into strips of the same size and length, and the knife is very skillful, and the cutting of vegetables is pleasing to the eye.
Wang Lun's speed was not so fast, first washing the green beans and green peppers with water, and then began to cut the green beans.
More than a dozen green beans, Wang Lun was divided into two groups, after the front end was aligned, the kitchen knife cut down, and first cut out a small section, and then sent his hand forward, the kitchen knife cut again, and cut off another section.
Compared with the superb knife skills of the special chef, Wang Lun's chopping action is not only not beautiful, but also very stiff.
Seeing this, Luo Weirui felt that his side was stable.
Knife work is a must for chefs, if the ingredients are handled with a kitchen knife, the better the knife skills, the more they can ensure that the ingredients are suitable for production, and the more they can lock in the original flavor of the ingredients.
Wang Lun's knife performance shows that he is very ordinary in cooking, obviously he has not worked knife work, and he has almost no research on cooking.
At this time, Wang Lun had already put the cut green beans on a plate, then cut the two green peppers into slices, turned on the gas stove, and began to heat the pot.
The pot is hot, pour a little oil, put in the chili pepper, turn it over with a spatula, and wait for the skin of the green pepper to wrinkle, Wang Lun put the green pepper aside, turn on the high heat, pour the appropriate oil into the pot, pour the green beans into it, quickly mix it with the green pepper, and stir-fry it together.
This step is very familiar to Wang Lun, and the special chef is faster, he is already putting condiments, and the tempting aroma has spread to Wang Lun's open kitchen counter.
"Alright. ”
The special chef served the dish on a plate and brought it to the table.
Luo Weirui only glanced at it, and then continued to watch Wang Lun's stir-frying, after all, it is impossible for a special chef to make a mistake in such a simple dish, but Wang Lun is cooking here, and he obviously does not have enough control over the heat.
When the condiments were put in, Luo Weirui found that Wang Lun only put a little salt, not to mention soy sauce, not even monosodium glutamate.
Yang Jizhong frowned.
The condiments are used well, will not cover up the original taste of the ingredients, but can enhance the flavor and freshness, there is no doubt that the special chef makes good use of the condiments when making green pepper fried green beans, but Wang Lun only uses oil and salt, and makes a judgment.
"I'm fine too. ”
Wang Lun lifted the lid and put the green beans that had been simmered in water for a while on a plate, and the green beans needed to be fried before they could be eaten, which was a little longer than the fried beans.
In terms of time, he was three or four minutes behind the special chef, but there was no time set for this competition, and Wang Lun calmly brought the dish of fried green beans with green peppers to the table.
The natural fragrance released in the dish was masked by the aroma of the dishes made by the special chef, and Yang Jizhong and others did not seriously use their noses to identify the fragrance, ignoring the "fragrance" in the color and fragrance.
Because at this moment, Yang Jizhong and others are using their eyes to observe the "color" in the coloring fragrance.
I saw this dish made by the special chef, the green beans are full, the surface is oily but not greasy, the size is uniform, and it is served with well-cut chili peppers, which looks very delicate after being plated, which makes people appetize.
And what Wang Lun did, to their surprise, the appearance of the dish turned out to be very good.
Although the size of the green beans is not very consistent, and the peppers are large and small after slicing, the dishes are not black and do not feel like they are stacked together.
is obviously inferior to the special chef, probably because the surface of the green beans is not shiny enough, and it is not so easy to arouse people's appetite.
"This chili?"
Yang Jizhong let out a puzzled sound.
"What's wrong?" asked Gerson. He is not a chef, in his opinion, Wang Lun lost in appearance, but he didn't lose a lot, including this pepper, the gap is in the knife work.
Luo Weirui also looked at Yang Jizhong. Because only Yang Jizhong is a chef among the three, he has the most say in the evaluation of dishes.
Yang Jizhong explained his doubts and said: "I remember that when Mr. Wang stir-fried the chili pepper alone, he stir-fried the skin of the chili pepper to the point of wrinkling and rolling, but you can take a look now. ”
Luo Weirui and Gerson then looked over and found that the chopped peppers had a very round skin, and there were no signs of wrinkles at all.
"Is the skin of this chili pepper still very elastic, and it is not easy to deform when stir-fried over high heat?"
Although he has never been a chef, he has also cooked, so he naturally knows that after the chili peppers are stir-fried, the skin is wrinkled, and the traces left behind cannot be restored.
"Ingredients. Seeing that they were puzzled by this, Wang Lun spoke.
The three of them then remembered that whether it was chili peppers or green beans, Wang Lun used all the top ingredients he brought over, perhaps, such top ingredients are indeed not ordinary?
Seeing this scene, Luo Weirui became a little uneasy, how did this look like Wang Lun was about to turn around?
"The dish is getting cold, you can taste it. Wang Lun said.
The key to winning or losing is the strength of the taste of the dish.
Although the appearance of the dish, or the appearance, certainly affects the appetite of the diners, but now the appearance of the two dishes is not too different, and the two sides said before the competition, whoever makes the dish tastes better, and the other side wins.
"I won't taste it, and Manager Yang will tell the result after tasting it alone. ”
Luo Weirui said lightly, obviously not taking Wang Lun's dishes seriously.
In terms of appearance and fragrance, his side has the advantage, and the taste is definitely needless to say, Wang Lun uses few condiments, how can the taste have the possibility of winning.
Yang Jizhong didn't refuse, took a pair of chopsticks, and first tasted the fried green beans with chili peppers made by the special chef, and tasted both the green beans and the chili peppers, neither shaking his head nor nodding.
"It retains the original flavor of green beans and chili peppers, which is not bad, which is the normal level of stir-frying in our hotel's high-end restaurant. ”
Yang Jizhong said.
This is tantamount to saying that the performance of the Grand Chef is very normal, and he has produced the highest level of dishes that represent the InterContinental Beijing.
This small dish, even if it is eaten by extremely prominent dignitaries, they are absolutely satisfied.
After Luo Weirui listened to Yang Jizhong's evaluation, he couldn't help but glance at Wang Lun deliberately, and he was in a good mood.
After winning, in front of Gesen, Wang Lun could not deny it, and he could push down the price of cooperation.
"Does Manager Yang still need to taste Mr. Wang's dish?" Luo Weirui asked deliberately.
It means that Yang Jizhong doesn't have to taste it anymore at all, anyway, Wang Lun has no chance of winning.
Yang Jizhong actually thought that winning or losing was obvious, but he still changed a pair of chopsticks, and took a piece of green beans from Wang Lun's plate of fried green beans with chili peppers and put it in his mouth.
But neither Gesen nor Luo Weirui paid attention to it, and it was expected that something that Yang Jizhong frowned slightly would definitely happen.
"Delicious!"
Yang Jizhong suddenly spoke, which immediately surprised Gesen, Luo Weirui and the two special chefs.
In particular, the two chefs, who had been instructed by Yang Jizhong, knew that when Yang Jizhong was evaluating a dish, he rarely made direct comments, and the words "not bad" and "passable" appeared in the evaluation, which meant that Yang Jizhong was satisfied with the dish and the people who made it.
But now, the word "delicious" has appeared.
The special chef who cooked the dishes was a little unhappy in his heart, but the dishes made by Wang Lun could taste better than his?
"How does it compare to the other party's?" asked Gerson directly.
Yang Jizhong tasted another piece of chili pepper, and after eating the dish with another chopstick, he didn't hesitate and said directly: "Both dishes are excellent, but this dish made by Mr. Wang tastes better." ”
"Manager Yang, you're not mistaken, I'll lose if I only judge the taste?"
Luo Weirui asked loudly, thinking that the person who lost should be Wang Lun, so it was reasonable.
"Please General Manager Luo taste it. Yang Jizhong suggested.
"Hmph, with Mr. Gerson here, don't think about the deer being a horse!"
Luo Weirui snorted angrily, took a pair of sterilized chopsticks, and grabbed a piece of green beans from the dish made by Wang Lun, intending to chew a few times, but after the first chew, Luo Weirui's eyes widened.
"Manager Luo, this dish tastes very good?" Gesen couldn't help but ask, if it wasn't for the good taste, Luo Weirui couldn't have this expression.
"This ......" Luo Weirui's face was red, he knew what the taste of this dish provided by his hotel was, after comparison, he actually had an answer, but he was very embarrassed, because he was the loser.
After tasting it one after another, Gesen agreed: "This dish made by Mr. Wang is more fragrant and refreshing, and the taste is better than that of the other party." ”
Even the president of InterContinental China said so, and the result of the competition has obviously been decided.
"Mr. Wang, you can not talk about anything else, I will now assure you that according to Mr. Wang's request, InterContinental Beijing will not change the price agreed in the contract. Gesen said directly.
Wang Lun said with a smile: "My cooking skills are average, but I won, the advantages of the top ingredients themselves are fully revealed, and I now feel that my ingredients deserve a better price to show the value it deserves." ”
