"What did he pour into that pot? Water? The middle-aged judge said curiously.

"Oil, and it should be peanut oil! If he uses rapeseed oil, the seasoning points will definitely not exceed four grades! The elderly judge said that animal oil is very expensive, vegetable oil is relatively cheap, and many people now use rapeseed oil and peanut oil, and the latter is slightly more expensive, but the taste is really good.

"Zila......" As the radish slices and radish strips were put into the pot, the water and oil in the radish reacted violently quickly, and Wang Yong quickly picked up the pot and quickly turned the pot, and the radish slices and radish strips quickly churned with the wok.

"What kind of cooking is this?" For the first time, the middle-aged judges saw such a cooking method, "a bit similar to a kettle, but it seems to be more fancy to operate!" ”

The kettle is a very primitive cooking device that can be used for boiling, stewing, frying, and sautéing. Many people say that stir-fry appeared after the Song Dynasty, but in fact, there were similar cooking methods in ancient times.

"The main thing is the difference in kitchenware, which pot is more suitable for this cooking method!" The elderly judges looked at Wang Yong approvingly, "I didn't expect that a dark horse would appear in the boring junior chef test." Just rush to this craft, as long as the taste is not so bad...... No, with this craft and the recipes he masters, an intermediate chef can't run away! ”

"You can already conclude that ...... has not been served yet" The middle-aged judge couldn't believe his ears. However, the old man's words, he had to pay attention to it, after all, this was a special chef who served in the palace in the past, an elder of the chef guild!

"If it is a kettle, before the emergence of vegetable oil such as peanut oil, we can only put the ingredients in the kettle in this way, and then keep stirring to ensure the heating of the ingredients, but in this process, the heating of the ingredients is still uneven, and it is easy to be stirred and destroy the taste, and then with peanut oil, this problem is still not solved." The old man said slowly.

Then he pointed to the pot in Wang Yong's hand, and continued: "On the contrary, the pot is similar to a kettle, but it is lighter, and it can be stir-fried directly in your hand, which is undoubtedly a new skill, and Dahan may have given birth to a new cooking method. ”

"Check this skill, whether he has registered!" The middle-aged judge immediately shouted, originally this kind of primary test, there was no need for him to go out at all, after all, he was the head of the East County Chef Guild, and he only deigned to accompany him because the elders came.

Unexpectedly, he met such a dark horse this time, and he was a little blushing at the pot and the cooking skills.

"Yes!" The near side did not dare to slack off, and immediately went over to investigate, and at this time, Wang Yong also reached the finishing stage.

"That's it!" Finally, add the shrimp balls and stir-fry, sprinkle in the chopped green onion, and the shrimp balls and radish are cooked. It's a pity that there are no porcelain plates, but the clay pot is more heavy.

In the future, the use of tableware will also bring bonuses to food, and plating will become a skill that chefs must learn. However, Wang Yong is just a chef enthusiast and has not studied much in depth, but when he comes to this world and has a career as a chef, there is no way not to pay attention to it, especially those who are in charge of power, are women who like beautiful food!

"No. 20 Wang Yong, cooking is done!" The referee shouted, and then ten attendants came over, divided the dishes in the basin into ten portions, and served them to the ten judges.

Before that, there were already two people who had finished cooking, and it would take two rounds to get to the review of Wang Yong's dish.

"Pork ribs stewed radish, I have to say that this home-cooked dish is very popular, and the requirements are not big, and it is understandable that you will choose this dish!" The one that was reviewed in front was the dish of candidate No. 78, and the old man picked up the soup, a little excited.

For junior chefs, this level is also sufficient, after all, being able to master home cooking is already the level of being able to open a restaurant. The key is the heat and seasoning, generally speaking, you have to taste the taste, but the old man took a sip of the soup first.

"The three kinds of radishes do have a sequence of time, but the changes of the ingredients in the pot are not well controlled, and the radishes that are not ripe will have a hint of spiciness, which destroys the sweetness of the soup, and at the same time, the floating powder in the soup is not removed, and the taste of the soup is affected. The seasoning aspect is more orthodox, and it can only be regarded as average! The old man said slowly.

As for the other nine people, they felt that this soup was just average, not good, at most not so bad.

"In the final result, six of the ten judges recognized candidate No. 78, and the candidate passed the test and obtained the qualification of five-grade junior chef according to the results of three subjects!" The moderator announced.

"It's only five grades?!" The candidate was immediately disappointed, it was not the first time he had referred to it, this time he had planned to enter at least three grades, but he didn't expect that it was only one grade higher than the original. Yes, he was originally a junior chef of the sixth grade.

"Is there anything you're not satisfied with?" The middle-aged judges glared at this candidate, but in fact, they also mourned for him in their hearts, the guild elder was here, and he gave such an evaluation, how could they give too high an evaluation. Otherwise, in normal times, the qualification of a junior chef of the third grade can still be given.

If you want to blame, you can only blame you for being unlucky, and actually took the exam when the elder came...... The middle-aged judge said silently.

The second to appear is the No. 32 candidate, his dish is radish stewed fish, stewed vegetables have a long history, radish stewed fish is also a home-cooked dish, this candidate also sliced the fish and made white radish stewed fish fillet.

However, in dealing with the fishy smell, the candidates put too much ginger, which covered up the umami of the fish fillet, and although they also passed in the end, they only mixed with the four-grade junior chef qualification.

"No. 20, Wang Yong, report the name of the dish!" It was Wang Yong's turn, and the host signaled.

"My dish is called stir-fried radish with shrimp balls, which is made of shrimp balls, stir-fried radish, and finally garnished with chopped green onions." Wang Yong introduced his own dish.

"I see you stir-fried just now, first put the radish slices and radish strips, then put in the shrimp balls, and then put in the diced radish last. The seasoning seems to have salt and another seasoning in addition to oil, I don't know what it is? The elderly judge did not put down the chopsticks, but asked curiously.

"It's sugar, I'll add a little sugar to it!" Wang Yong said slowly, there is sugar cane in this world, and naturally there is sugar, but it is a luxury, and few people will use it for cooking.

"This is salty and sweet, not afraid of destroying the flavor?" The corners of the elderly judge's mouth curled slightly, and he asked directly.

"Sometimes a small amount of salt can bring out the sweetness of the fruit, and the same small amount of sugar can bring out the aroma and saltiness of the fruit and turn it into a new taste!" Wang Yong said slowly.

"Try it!" The elderly judge nodded, and then put down his chopsticks. Wang Yong's heat is well controlled, and the three kinds of radishes are fried thoroughly, and there is no pinching. At the same time, the shrimp balls are springy, and the sweetness and tenderness of the radish complement each other.

"It's amazing!" The middle-aged judge looked at the small dish in front of him in disbelief, "There is a faint sweetness, but the fragrance is more prominent, it does not destroy the fragrance of this dish, but adds a more complex taste!" ”

"Was it your inspiration, or was it a craft that your elders taught you?" The old man asked kindly, in his opinion, since Wang Yong inherited Lao Wang's restaurant, it should be his heir, both of them were surnamed Wang, and even suspected that he was Lao Wang's son and nephew.

"Where did the next generation get such clever means, it was all a gift from the predecessors." It's naturally cool to pretend hard, but Wang Yong feels that he has been a little pretending today. It's better to be a little more low-key. Not to mention, these skills were originally summed up by the predecessors of the Chinese culinary industry.

"......I see," the old man nodded, and the old king seemed to have a good heir. Then he looked at the other judges and asked slowly, "What do you think, how is this dish?" ”

"This kind of cooking method has never been seen before, but in terms of seasoning and heat, it is the best choice!" The middle-aged judges are also human beings, and the elders have such a good attitude towards this young man, so they are naturally full of praise.

Several others did the same, praising the deliciousness of this dish, as well as Wang Yong's control over the heat and seasoning.

"It's rare for someone to be able to qualify as a junior chef on the first test. However, since the birth of the chef's guild, there have been many such cases. Young man, you are very good, I hope you can persevere and hone your skills more proficiently. The old man said solemnly, "So, the result is beyond doubt, right?!" ”

"Candidate Wang Yong, the twentieth candidate, passed the chef test and obtained the qualification of a first-class junior chef!" The moderator immediately announced the results.

"Wow!" The surrounding candidates were suddenly so frightened that they stopped what they were doing and looked at Wang Yong. The Zhencheng Chef Guild has been established for so long, and it seems that there are only two cases where someone has obtained the qualification of a first-class junior chef after participating in the chef test for the first time.

"Impossible!" Someone immediately retorted, mainly because the chef who had mocked Wang Yong for using river shrimp before, "He used river shrimp with a very hard shrimp shell and no meat, so how could the shrimp balls made from shrimp be delicious?" ”

"Knife work!" The old man directly scolded back, "Wang Yong relied on excellent knife skills to completely chop the shrimp shell and shrimp meat, not only will it not feel like scratching the throat when eating, but after adding the shrimp shell, the shrimp ball will look elastic and delicious!" ”

"How is this possible!?" The rebutters still don't believe that so many shrimp are chopped at the same time, how can it be completely chopped.

"Is it possible...... Wang Yong went directly back to the kitchen and picked up the rest of the vegetable bowl, "You'll know if you try it!" ”

The rebutter looked at the dishes in the clay pot, then gritted his teeth, picked up chopsticks and sandwiched a shrimp ball, and at the same time, several people around also came forward one after another to taste some dishes.

"How is this possible?" The rebutter put the shrimp ball in his mouth and chewed it, and the texture clearly told him that there was no large shrimp shell, and the shrimp shell and shrimp meat were well blended together, and the taste was very elastic and fresh!

"If you can't do it yourself, don't doubt that others can't do it either." Wang Yong put down this sentence, and turned around directly regardless of the few candidates whose faces became ugly.

Candidates who have obtained the qualification naturally do not need to stay, there are already people who have specially registered, and they go out to get the qualification certificate.

Soon after Wang Yong left, he came back from the near inquiry, came to the middle-aged judge, and said in a low voice: "The other party doesn't seem to have registered this skill." ”

This means that anyone can use this skill, or he has not had time to register it.

"Send someone to ask him what he means, if you want to register, help him register quickly, and the guild will come forward and buy a license from him. If he says that he doesn't need to register, then no one will be allowed to register this skill in the future! The elder said slowly.

"My subordinates understand!" When the middle-aged judge heard this, he couldn't believe it, "Will he register this skill?" ”

"Maybe, maybe not, it's just that the old man always thinks that he won't!" The elderly judges said with deep meaning.
