Chapter 218: A Stew with the Theme of Spring
"Just like the referee said!" At this time, the old man sitting in the middle slowly stood up, "Selecting ingredients is the most basic skill of a chef, which requires an understanding of the materials and enough eyesight!" At the very least, you can't have a problem with your nose!
Those radishes, especially the old ones, have become spicy, have no moisture, and even have been hollowed, so there is no point in such a radish stew. And the green radish, it looks as if it is not ripe, in fact it is a special variety, and the way it is ripe is that, but this kind of radish is still rare, so it is normal not to know.
However, if you know, it's fine, if you don't know, you can still choose the chef of this radish, congratulations, you have selected the most suitable ingredients! ”
After speaking, he sat down directly, but the middle-aged man next to him stood up: "If you choose the No. 1 and No. 2 radish, you don't have to worry, after all, using unsuitable ingredients to cook delicious food is also the quality that a chef should have." So we decided to give you a chance to use this radish to stew some soup, then you can get extra points! ”
At this moment, Wang Yong keenly found that the candidates who heard the news, that is, those who chose the first and second radish, most of them showed excited expressions, but a few of them looked clear, obviously already knowing the situation.
"I see, deliberately choose No. 1 and No. 2 radish...... Wang Yong is the first time to participate in the assessment, naturally he doesn't know this kind of rule, but in his opinion, choosing such a radish can also cook delicious soup, and the cooking skills should not be bad.
After all, there is a big gamble in this, and if you win, you may get a high score. Bet wrong, and that's really the end of it!
The middle-aged man apparently noticed this, but he didn't care. The Intermediate Chef exam has been taken for a long time, especially for repeaters, so it's not surprising that they know some of the rules. However, just as Wang Yong thought, he chose the wrong ingredients and wanted to make delicious soups, and the cooking skills involved were already at the level of intermediate chefs with more than three grades.
So after signaling everyone to be quiet, the exam question was announced: "It's spring, and it's the time when vitality begins to rejuvenate." This year's Intermediate Chef Assessment is based on 'Spring', which is limited to soup and radish. What kind of soup is it, please play by yourself! Time is an hour, if you have no objections...... So ...... Let's go! ”
After confirming that there were no objections, the middle-aged man announced the start of the game. And most of the candidates did not move at this moment.
Everyone is thinking about what to do when 'spring' is used as a stew and radish is used as a material. And the candidates who chose the No. 1 and No. 2 radishes were suddenly desperate, it was already even more difficult, but the materials at hand were still so poor, and they knew that they had messed up without cooking.
"Examiner, I protest!" One of the junior chefs suddenly raised his hand, "In previous years, I heard that there were two limits, but this year it is three limits?" ”
"Protests are not effective!" The middle-aged man looked at the chef, "The quality of the candidates here in Yingyin this year is very high, so according to the elder's meaning, increase the difficulty of the assessment!" If you don't think you have what it takes, it's okay to just give up! I might as well tell you that luck is also part of strength! ”
To give up, or not to give up, the candidates are struggling. In the end, some junior chefs chose to quit, while others stayed. However, this part of the junior chefs who withdrew from the show also made some other junior chefs abstain from leaving.
Three limitations, stews with spring as the theme, are too difficult for them. I really couldn't think of a suitable recipe or a match that I was satisfied with, so I simply gave up this year's exam. Anyway, I can continue to take the test again next year, and I hope it won't be too difficult next year.
"If you choose to give up when you encounter difficulties, will you choose to give up when you face more difficult difficulties in the future...... I don't even dare to try, what qualifications do I have to challenge a higher realm? Wang Yong looked at them and shook his head.
"In spring, I really want to stew lamb with radish!" Soon, someone had already thought about the dishes to cook, "and recently, a lot of drugs have been included in the list of spices, and they have only tried to stew mutton!" ”
"Why do you want to make lamb stew with turnips, that's what I'm going to do!" Immediately, there was a protest.
"There is no limit to what can't be made, whoever is delicious is real!" The person who spoke first retorted directly, and then began to select materials.
"Just do it, afraid of you?!" The other one also began to pick and choose.
In fact, not only radish, but also mutton and other ingredients have a lot of the same, but the quality is definitely different. said that the ability to select materials should be assessed, it will naturally not be so simple, just choose radish.
"Lamb stew......ed with radish" Wang Yong also thought of this at first, but the problem was that he looked at it, and the mutton didn't seem to be fresh, or it was all old goat meat, and the taste of such meat would be damaged when stewed.
Besides, so many people do this, it is a little bad for him to do it again, although it is true that in the end it is better than who makes it better, but it should also be considered that the judges keep eating the same soup, and they can still treat the subsequent soup fairly?
"So you can't use mutton...... Ribs...... These are obviously not gelding pigs either......" Wang Yong looked at the materials here carefully, "Huh? Is there this?! ”
Wang Yong picked it up and smelled it, the taste was very pure, and it was a good material. A soup comes to mind right in the air, perfect for spring boiling, but to make this soup, you need another ingredient......
He immediately began to look for it, and in the corner, he found this material, and fortunately, the material was fresh!
"Very well, in this case, then my soup will be structured!" Wang Yong picked up the two ingredients, then chose all the seasonings, and finally returned to the stove.
His actions immediately attracted the attention of others, and looking at the thing he was holding, someone suddenly laughed.
"Did you see it, he was actually holding a duck!" Some candidates suddenly laughed, "That kind of wax goods, no matter what, doesn't match the theme of 'spring'!" ”
"The key is that the duck is greasy and salty, and the soup will only destroy the sweet......ness of the radish," an intermediate chef began to add, adding that if the sweetness of the radish is destroyed, then the whole soup will look very inconsistent.
But he seems to have chosen spring bamboo shoots! Is it because of the main questions? Someone took a closer look at Wang Yong's materials.
"Fresh bamboo shoots don't taste good...... It won't affect the main taste of the soup, but in this way, there is no way to highlight the presence of spring bamboo shoots, is his brain broken, or is he really stupid? Someone burst out laughing.
In the venue, it is estimated that the two junior chefs who served as assistant chefs under Wang Yong were the two junior chefs who served as helpers. They even chose green radish like Wang Yong, and it turned out that they did not choose wrong. And for the ingredients he chooses, he will not feel abrupt, this chef has a strong control over the ingredients, and at the same time can cook many recipes that they (her) have never heard of. It's just that at this moment, the two of them are really curious about what kind of soup Wang Yong will bring!
