Chapter 899: Kuang Chu is challenging again
"Chef Kwong? How did you end up here? Seeing the comer, Wang Yong was a little surprised. After all, didn't Kuang Chu serve on the side of the Yang Zhai Xun clan? How did you get to the site of the Master Chef exam?
"At the site of the special examination, there are generally 10 to 20 special chefs as the audience, and they are also the supervisors. After all, it's an imperial exam, and no one wants to have problems. In particular, there are cases where food is used to poison or courting His Majesty...... Of course, you're an exception! Kuang Chu smiled.
There used to be gossip newspapers that said that Wang Yong had some unclear relationship with His Majesty, but it didn't take long for these tabloids to close. This news has become an urban legend, but now it seems that the relationship between the two is not clear.
If you change people, confess to your majesty with food, courtship, etc., you must be deprived of your qualifications for the exam. Everyone wants to go to the sky in one step, but such unscrupulous behavior will discredit the chef's guild. Especially about the relationship between His Majesty and Wang Yong now, how can he accept other people's courtship, once he gets angry, he can't say that he will take the life of that senior chef.
It's rare to be admitted to a special chef, and it's a pity that you have worked hard to learn art for twenty or thirty years, and you can be sent out like this.
"I didn't notice you at all before...... Wang Yong said apologetically.
"It's nothing, it just means that your mind is on cooking...... Kwong Chu waved his hand, "However, I still want to congratulate you on becoming a master chef!" ”
"It's not over yet...... Wang Yong said helplessly, and there are more than 30 candidates who didn't bring things up.
"But the people who will be here have already passed the exam and obtained the qualification of Grand Chef. For the rest, it's nothing more than a ritual. Kwong Chu replied, "So, congratulations! ”
"Thank you!" Wang Yong nodded.
"Plus!" Kuang Chu immediately entered the topic, "I'm here to challenge you again, now that you are a special chef, the two of us will use one dish to compete for the winner, how about it?" ”
He has challenged twice before, but Wang Yong won, and in the past two years, he has also been open to cultivation. Now, naturally, I hope to be able to get rid of the shame.
"Haven't lost enough yet?" When Wang Yong heard this, he said jokingly. Chefs must have absolute confidence in their craft. If you don't even have confidence in your own cooking skills, how can you serve it to your guests? If you want to say that there is no second martial arts, the chef is almost like this!
"Definitely win you this time!" Kuang Chu also came with confidence, "Tomorrow or when?" ”
"Yes, I'll wait for you in Wangjiazhuang tonight, do you bring your own materials or will I prepare them?" Wang Yong asked rhetorically.
"Bring your own, how?" Everyone is good at different fields, and Kuang Chu is also worried that Wang Yong's materials will not be used to it.
"Okay, you wait for me outside, and we'll discuss the content of the competition later." Wang Yong nodded.
At this moment, other candidates also brought things up one after another. It is worth mentioning that there are more than 10 candidates who have prepared the dish of 'boiling water cabbage'. Denying this thing is indeed a classic in vegetarian food, but the preparation of soup stock is not so easy.
If you use a broth made from something like chicken, you will be deducted. There is Wang Yong's rich and delicious vegetarian soup Jin Yu in front, and the vegetarian soup stock of these candidates ...... It's really inspiring.
As expected, in the end, more than a dozen candidates who prepared 'boiling water cabbage' were all unqualified!
"So, let's start issuing the Master Chef badge now! Please ask the president of the chef's guild to issue badges to the candidates! "With the end of the last candidate's dish review, this special chef exam can be regarded as over.
I have to say that not only the five judges, but also the three princes and Liu Xie are a little overwhelmed. In the end, I didn't eat some dishes, and I took a bite at most when I was interested. If I have to say, the first ramen dish is obviously accidentally eaten too much......
There are more than 200 dishes, although there are only more than 50 dishes that can be served, even if it is a small portion, it is uncomfortable to eat too much.
The president slowly got up and was supported by two staff members to the high platform. At such an age, after eating more than 200 dishes, it would be good to be able to move around. Because of this, the requirements for follow-up dishes have risen a lot, otherwise those who cook boiled cabbage will not end up like this.
"Congratulations, from now on, you will be a special chef recognized by the imperial court!" The president took a badge in the hands of the workers, this badge is round, a Chinese dragon surrounds it, and there is a 'special' word in the middle, which is similar to the one in "Zhonghua Yiban".
The badge is followed by a small segment number, followed by the name of the registered worker holder. If the identity is not matched, then let alone the chef's guild, the imperial court will directly send someone to arrest it.
After all, a special chef, even if he is not an official, belongs to a privileged class, such as not worshipping officials, appropriate tax reductions and exemptions, etc. Of course, in the past, the special chefs were really good, at most about a hundred or so, and more than two hundred.
It is estimated that there will be more in the future, let's just say that now, more than fifty new special chefs are not only the pressure of the chef guild, but also the pressure of the imperial court. Reform is probably inevitable.
"Thank you to the Imperial Court and the Guild for their cultivation!" Wang Yong said slowly.
"Hahaha...... That's also the result of your efforts. The elder laughed, "I also thank you for providing so many cooking methods and ingredients for the chef world!" ”
Many ingredients, before Wang Yong, were either used as medicinal herbs, spices, or even ornamental plants. Moreover, the method of steaming and frying is also of great significance to the culinary world. If not, how can the culinary world grow by leaps and bounds in recent years?
In addition, the concept of chain and franchise has allowed many restaurants to open in various parts of the country, further increasing the influence of the chef guild. So the president thanked him, and Wang Yong could take it.
"It is also an honor for the younger generations to be able to contribute some of their own strength to the culinary career of Dahan." Yes, you can, but to be humble is always to be humble. Pride is okay, but arrogance is not.
Wang Yong stepped down, and others also came up one after another to accept the special chef badge. After another half an hour, the special examination was finally over, and it took almost a morning.
Fortunately, if you take this kind of test, you don't have to worry about going hungry...... Or rather, I ate a little bit......
"So, tomorrow you come to work in the imperial kitchen, okay?" Wang Yong was about to leave, but he was soon called to Liu Xie's side by the eunuch, who asked with some expectation.
"Well, I'll talk to the yamen when I go back, and I'll start working in the imperial kitchen from tomorrow." Wang Yong nodded. It's just that in this way, I have to wait until I prepare dinner for Liu Xie before I can go back to prepare dinner.
"After today, our relationship has been exposed...... Liu Xie thought for a while, "Why don't we all move to the palace to live?" ”
