Chapter 12 Becoming a Master Chef
"Kong Liang of Dasheng Restaurant, Chai Lin, the sous chef of Feiyan Mansion, Le Yuan of Juxialou and Peng Yuying of Haisheng Pavilion. You guys did a great job in the first trial of the medicine and food homology competition! The above four can take the official exam! Please gather at the main gate! After saying that, the examiner led a few people to the gate on the other side.
As soon as the door opened, a huge gladiatorial arena-like building appeared in front of everyone, and the examiner opened the door to the gladiatorial arena.
"The real exam starts now! Good! You're ready to go in! ”
The four people who entered the gladiatorial arena were greeted by the countless ingredients piled up in the auditorium.
Just as everyone's eyes were focused on the high-end ingredients in front of them, a voice echoed in the gladiatorial arena. "What are you guys still in a daze! The official exam is about to begin! This is the legendary Douwei Restaurant, a special venue built for chefs! All the Grand Chefs of Hunan have fought in this douwei arena and passed the test with honor! “
Following this voice, the four of them turned around and saw that a middle-aged man had appeared on the city gate when they came. "I'm Liang Fei, the chief examiner of your official exam, and now I'm starting the formal exam—" "Liang Fei, is that Hunan notoriously strict special chef?" "His words are very skillful, and he is very strict with himself and others." "I heard that so far I haven't even accepted an apprentice." "The theme of the material is ......" accompanied by his voice, a huge banner fell from the city wall, and a large "egg" appeared on it. And the new topic is ...... "another huge banner appears at the same time with a clear hierarchy - on top of it are four big characters "clear hierarchy". "What kind of egg dishes, and there are ...... layers?" "Is there any relationship between the two?"
Just as everyone was exploring the exam questions, the examiner's voice appeared, "The exam time is until the sun sets, it's over." “
As soon as the words fell, everyone dispersed and chose their own exam positions.
Le Yuan also walked to his kitchen stove and sat down, thinking about what kind of food would best suit the exam questions this time.
There are many dishes that use eggs in the dishes I have learned, but there are not many who can come out on top in the chef's special examination and have to meet the characteristics of the hierarchy.
In the case of nothing to be done, Le Yuan took a method that was not a solution, recalling all the egg dishes that appeared in the plot to see if there were any dishes that fit the current situation.
Golden fried rice is indeed quite in line with the theme of eggs, and the taste of the mixture of rice and eggs is also layered, but it is still not stable enough in the competition of super chefs.
The only ones left are three eggs in one siu mai and golden ratio siu mai, of which the golden ratio siu mai is the protagonist pork, so the final decision is three eggs in one siu mai.
Just as Le Yuan was about to look for the ingredients he needed after confirming his work, the other three had already selected their own ingredients and started cooking.
After carefully selecting the required ingredients among the many ingredients, Le Yuan began his own cooking.
……
Soon the sun was below the horizon, and the arena was lit with fire. A table has been placed on which the works of four people have been placed.
The chief examiner, Liang Fei, came to everyone and said to everyone; "It's time, and it's time to rate the layered egg dishes you've made! The people who will mark it include me and all of you, and you have to eat each other's eggs and rate each other, and I will also rate your work, in other words, you are both a candidate and an examiner, and your work must not only satisfy me, but also convince your opponents. "I see... This scoring method is the hardest...... To become a special chef, you must not only have the method of making delicious food, but also have the ability to appreciate delicious food......" Kong Liang of Dasheng Restaurant said with some understanding.
Others listened and agreed with him very much.
The first dish is the hibiscus crab of Chai Lin, the sous chef of Feiyan Mansion, "How about it, this is called hibiscus crab, which belongs to Cantonese cuisine." Hibiscus crab is made of crab roe and crab shell as the main ingredient, accompanied by egg white, broth, rice vinegar and other accessories. The crab meat is yellow and white, resembling hibiscus, with a tender taste and a strong fragrance. Come, eat and see the unexpected deliciousness. “
Le Yuan tasted it and commented: "It's delicious, it's really a top-notch taste!" The thick crab meat, shredded mushrooms, shredded bamboo shoots, and just the right heat make it sticky, smooth, and moist, and the eggs are bulging......
Kong Liang of Dasheng Restaurant also nodded in agreement: "There is nothing to say." ”
Next is Kong Liang's dish at Dasheng Restaurant, "Mine is seafood fried rice, seafood fried rice is a fried rice made of rice, eggs, green onions and other materials, and different seafood can be matched to present different seafood fried rice." ”
"Fried rice was originally the most common color, but he didn't expect him to be able to make such a luxurious and sumptuous dish, the fishy smell of shrimp, crab, shark fin and seafood, how did he deal with these negative tastes?" Peng Yuying of Haisheng Pavilion tasted Kong Liang's dish and couldn't help asking.
"He used coriander for marinating Jinhua ham, and used coriander to deal with the negative taste."
Le Yuan replied after tasting the fried rice.
"So that's the case, it's actually with coriander."
……
After that, it is Haishengge Peng Yuying noodles, "This is the egg noodles I make, the flour is added with eggs, cold water, salt, stirred into a dough with chopsticks, put into a dough sheeter and pressed many times, and then add cold soup!" ”
………
The last thing to come on the field is Le Yuan's siu mai.
"Siu mai, do you have eggs in it?"
"Is this the only level after all?"
"This is my trinity siu mai, please taste it!"
Le Yuan didn't say anything after listening to the other people's muttering, just asked everyone to taste it.
Kong Liang took a shumai and looked at it, "The yellow dough - sprinkled with black and shiny pieces - is indeed beautiful...... The yellow-colored skin is rolled out of eggs and noodles, as for this black and shiny..."Kong Liang picked it up and tasted it, and suddenly realized, "It's actually a duck egg, no, preserved eggs to be exact." ”
Then swallow the whole siu mai into your mouth, "Well, countless particles jump up in your mouth - is this the third kind of egg?" What exactly? ”
The other two were also puzzled, and just as Le Yuan wanted to explain, the chief examiner Liang Fei spoke up.
"After the three eggs are fused, it is as if countless unknown lives have been born in the sea! What a symphony of taste! Is this called three eggs in one? ”
Liang Fei found that the others still hadn't noticed, and explained: "The eggs in the dough and the wonderful fishy smell of the preserved eggs together compose a beautiful prelude - and in the siu mai, there is an accompaniment played by the third kind of egg, which makes the whole taste jump!" The third type of egg is crab roe ......"
While explaining, the chief examiner Liang Fei divided the siu mai into two, only to see that the orange particles were stuffed full, and said to Le Yuan: "This is not just an unexpected practice, you chose this combination in order to make the flavors of these three eggs echo each other in the siu mai." ”
"Good! End of tasting! Start grading now! Everyone but themselves had to rate three other people, with a maximum score of ten points! ”
Soon everyone finished grading, "Please wait a moment before the scores are announced." ”
After a tormenting wait, the scores were announced, and the results were "Kong 10, Chai 11, Le 14, Peng 18"
"What how can I only have 10 points." Kong Liang couldn't accept his results, and Chai Lin and Le Yuan couldn't accept them either.
Peng Yuying couldn't help but smile secretly when she looked at her score: Hahaha, I'm about to become a special chef.
The chief examiner, Liang Fei, appeared, looked at everyone and said, "This is just a score between you, and my score has not been added yet." “
He walked up to Kong Liang first and said: "Seafood fried rice is indeed a good work, but it's a pity that the overly luxurious ingredients cover up the taste of the theme egg, and I will give you 4 points." “
Then he walked up to Chai Lin and said unabashedly: "Hibiscus crab is indeed delicious, but it is a little boring and simple, poor imagination and indulgence in technology, these are the two fatal wounds of the chef, I only give you 3 points." “
After that, he stood in front of Le Yuan: "The three-in-one dish fully demonstrates the flavor of the ingredients and eggs, and at the same time fits the theme of the layers, a dish full of creativity, I will give you 8 points." “
Finally, he came to Peng Yuying, "Egg noodles were supposed to be a very simple dish, but with this refreshing cold soup, they perfectly achieved the best harmony of flavors. “
Hearing this, just when Peng Yuying thought that the examiner would give herself a high score, she only heard "It's a pity that in order to pass the special exam, you blinded yourself and obviously gave others quite unreasonably low scores, people like you who can't give a correct evaluation of other people's food!" No matter how high the level of cooking is, you are not qualified to be a special chef! Please come back in four years! “
Peng Yuying reluctantly picked up her luggage, glanced back at the douwei field and left.
"Now you have the highest score, give a rating to your work!" Looking at Peng Yuying, who was leaving, the examiner Liang Fei said to Le Yuan.
"I'll give myself a 10." Le Yuan didn't hesitate anything, and answered directly. "In this competition, I have done my best, I have used my tongue, my technique and my heart to make what I think is the best dish, and in any case, as a chef, I have made a perfect score for my own dishes."
The chief examiner, Liang Fei, was silent for a while after listening to Le Yuan's answer, and then said, "Your cuisine fully shows the skills that a special chef should have!" And the last question, I want to test you, is the most important pride of being a chef! You're doing a great job! Therefore, I announce that you have been admitted to this chef's special examination! ”
At the same time, Le Yuan received a prompt from the system-
