Chapter 17: The first appearance of stir-fry

"A qualified chef, regardless of whether he has a unique recipe or not, must have a solid foundation. The basic skills of a chef are nothing more than knife work, heat and seasoning......" The host gushed endlessly, and most chefs actually understand these contents.

Wang Yong is even more entangled, stir-fry in this world has not yet become popular, and one of the basic skills of chefs, turning the pot, is naturally not within the scope of the test. For him, this is a good thing, but there is less opportunity to show his hand (pretending to be a force), and it is inevitable that he will be a little entangled.

"First of all, the knife work!" After the host finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and naturally someone sent a white radish to everyone, "This radish, half cut into strips, half diced and sliced, start now!" ”

Radish is a common white radish, which is called cabbage head in some places, and is called big root in island countries. Using radishes to practice knife skills can be said to be completely entry-level. However, it corresponds to the junior chef test, and there is no need to come up with such advanced exam questions.

After a few clicks, Wang Yong successfully completed the goal. It's rare that each slice is almost exactly the same thickness, and the same is true for diced radish and radish strips.

"After the crossing, my physical fitness has really improved a lot." Wang Yong was a little excited, although among all the traverser golden fingers, the improvement of physical fitness can only be regarded as a very primitive traversal welfare. In the early traversal texts, the traverser was either born with divine power or never forgot it, and his level was nothing.

The coordination ability of the body is improved, and it is natural to be quick to have eyes and hands, and the rare feel has also been improved, which is why there is such speed and knife work. I have to say that he still has a long way to go on the road of knife work.

"On the twentieth, Wang Yong passed the assessment, the evaluation results, a product!" As soon as Wang Yong stopped, the examiner shouted, in the examination room, there were more than 100 candidates, but he was the first to finish.

"A product? Did you hear that right?! Some candidates couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yipin, this guy seems to be the first reference, where did the monster come from?" There are also candidates whispering.

There are candidates who have finished the test one after another, but none of them can get a first-class evaluation. The best result is the second grade, and the worst score is also the eighth grade.

Even among the junior chefs, there are good and bad, from nine to one, and there are thirty-six grades of beginner, intermediate, senior and special chefs. The key is that if you want to take the intermediate exam, there is a condition, that is, the reference must have a third-grade junior chef license or above. Otherwise, it would be nothing more than a joke for a group of people to refer to!

"Oh, candidate number 20, it's a newcomer, right?" On the referee's bench, an old man opened his eyes and asked with interest.

"It's a newcomer, but it seems that a month ago, in the hands of Lao Wang, he took over a restaurant." The middle-aged referee next to him replied, "It seems that my cooking skills are always improving, and I have mastered many recipes......

"As for the current knife worker, he inherited a restaurant, but he did not disgrace the foundation that Lao Wang had worked hard for. I just don't know, to what extent does he control the heat and seasoning? The old man said slowly, with some nostalgia in his tone.

When the middle-aged referee heard this, he knew that his hint was directly ignored by the other party, and he immediately extinguished his thoughts. A person who has mastered so many recipes and has not yet registered with the chef's guild may not be able to ...... if he plays tricks The old man must have known this, but he didn't move, and naturally he didn't have a good move.

Chefs have to come together, and without this strong cohesion, the Chefs' Guild would have become worthless. Some things can be done secretly as long as they are not excessive. But if you act too arrogantly, you will have to bear very serious consequences.

As for heat and seasoning, the topic is even simpler, and it boils down to cooking a dish with freshly cut radish strips, diced radishes, and sliced radish. Although they are all radishes, they are different in size and shape, and they require different degrees of heat, and everyone cooks radishes, so it depends on the chef's skill to make them more delicious.

There are a variety of seasonings and ingredients in the venue. Candidates can use their own dishes to match with turnips, or they can bring their own ingredients to cook, such as some unique seasonings or unique processed products.

"According to the general practice, it is basically boiled radish, or stewed radish soup, pickled radish is actually a good choice, but since it is necessary to test the heat, then cold dishes are estimated to become a point deduction!" Wang Yong thought quickly, he originally planned to make white radish salad, and he also brought the salad dressing in his backpack, which he made himself.

The surrounding candidates began to work one after another, and most of them boiled soup, and the meat used may be mutton, or roe deer and other game. In fact, if you want to stew soup, oxtail may be a good choice, but I don't seem to see it.

"Why don't you make a chicken soup with turnips?" Maybe it was because he had just made a pork belly chicken relationship yesterday, and it was inevitable that he would think of chicken at first, but when he saw that someone actually used chicken stew, he gave up this idea.

"Oh, there's this!" After looking around in the raw materials, Wang Yong suddenly used a fishing net to scoop up a net of river shrimp, and in the past two days, he has a lot of fate with this thing.

"Hahaha...... Look at the man, he actually used river shrimp that no one eats! Some candidates immediately laughed, after all, the knife work just got a product evaluation, and there was a problem in the selection of materials, and the mood was naturally happy. No one knows about the chef's test, so why did they prepare such an ingredient, maybe it was a trap set by the guild, right?

"There's no meat to eat with the shell removed, and it's fishy, and he's still a chef, can't he even figure out the ingredients?" The other candidate laughed too.

Everyone at the venue seemed to be watching the excitement, and even waiting to see Wang Yong make a fool of himself, and even among the ten judges, there were five or six who were not optimistic about Wang Yong. Only the old man sitting in the middle looked at Wang Yong meaningfully. This kind of river shrimp with a hard shell and no meat to eat is a temporary bonus item formulated by him, but whether it can add points depends on the chef's ability.

How does this kid plan to turn decay into magic? It's really curious! The old man muttered in his heart.

"If you want to laugh, just laugh!" Wang Yong put the shrimp on the kitchen table, and the kitchen knife quickly cut down, removed the head of the river shrimp, and then chopped the body part into puree, he just wanted to make shrimp balls.

"This is ......" The old man's eyes widened when he saw this, "This is, he is going to make shrimp balls!" It's just that he actually wants to chop the mud with the shell? That's very unwise! The shrimp balls made in this way will bite into the hard shell and the taste will be greatly reduced! Or is his knife skill already able to chop all the shells into the shrimp puree?! ”

"If you really have this knife skill, any junior chef can take the intermediate exam directly!" The middle-aged chef next to him complained.

"Maybe there will be a place for him in next year's intermediate chef assessment!" The old man groaned softly.

In the end, I did it twice, and the shrimp balls were made very smoothly, but the rest was to burn the red wok! This thing is not available in this world, but in order to take today's exam, Wang Yong has already gotten a wok through the channel of Wanshiwu. In other words, it was designed by him and created by the blacksmith shop under the name of Wanshiwu, the world's first real wok!

"This iron pot has a strange shape!" The middle-aged chef couldn't help frowning, this was obviously not a pot for boiling soup.

"All the secrets will be revealed later!" The old man was also curious, but he was clearly more composed.

"So, the first show, start now!" After lighting the biogas stove, Wang Yong watched the wok burn red, then poured peanut oil into it and began his cooking.

P.S: Character trivia - Wang Yong

Wang Yong, a very ordinary man in Xi'an. After graduation, despite the opposition of his family, he went out and rented a room, and then started a three-year-long live broadcast of food, which had 500,000 fans before the crossing. He did not graduate from cooking school, but started from scratch, taught himself how to cook little by little, and made a lot of jokes at the beginning.

When I was thirty years old, I woke up and found myself in this world. After coming here, he found that his physical fitness was constantly improving, his reflex nerves, speed, strength, dynamic vision and recovery power had improved significantly, but he didn't want to be a general.

Knowing that in this world, the status of chefs is not low, so he started his old profession and became a chef.
