Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 220 Undoubted First Grade

The name of my soup is called preserved duck spring bamboo shoots and radish soup... Although there is nothing wrong with saying this, it feels that the taste has dropped a lot.Being able to eat food stalls at a five-star level may also be the quality that an excellent chef needs to possess.

After all, starting from the mid-level chef, especially the fifth-rank mid-level chef, one has the conditions to become an official.From this moment on, people are facing high-ranking officials and nobles. If they go further, they are facing princes and nobles, even the emperor himself.

On the state banquet, the cured duck spring bamboo shoots and radish soup is definitely not as tasteful as the Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet.Of course, it can also make diners more appetizing.Even, more or less there will be a certain "unknownness" to enhance the taste of dishes and soups.

This is not his imagination, but when looking through the original recipes of the chef's guild, he will find such a similar name.Of course, it was Kuang Chu who really knew about this.

"Because you used spring bamboo shoots?" The old man looked at Wang Yong with great interest, and it was indeed a little overwhelming for him to know how to do this.After thinking about it, it's not surprising that the other party has a master chef teacher.

"Probably..." Wang Yong didn't answer directly, it would be meaningless to say it now.

"Interesting, try it!" The old man solidified Wang Yong for three seconds, then smiled and picked up the spoon.The other judges also picked up the spoons one after another, started to pick up a spoonful of soup, and then put it in their mouths.

With a "boom", at the moment when the soup enters the mouth, a strong fragrance and umami taste suddenly swept over, pulsating on the tip of the tongue.The impact rushes along the tip of the tongue towards the brain, creating an illusory picture.

In the river in spring, the weather is starting to warm up. The ducks that have been frozen for a winter come to the river, their feet slowly slapping the river, and the surroundings feel full of spring.

"Oh! So that's the case, no wonder it's called the Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck!" The old man suddenly exclaimed, "This duck has come back to life!"

"Indeed, cured duck gives people the feeling that it is hard and greasy!" The middle-aged man couldn't believe his sense of eating, "Although it is very popular with ordinary people, it is not suitable for many rich or noble people. , this taste is slightly heavy, it can only be used as a pickle with rice!

But in this soup, the flavor of cured duck can be preserved, and at the same time, the condensed fragrance seems to make the duck come alive, which is completely different from fresh duck, because the fresh and sweet feeling has been created by spring bamboo shoots and radishes, so The duck only needs to be absolutely fragrant! "

"Someone also stewed radish and duck soup just now, and added sliced ​​ginger for seasoning. The fresh duck is not bad, but how should I put it... This soft and warm feeling is completely different from the previous duck soup. ..." Another judge also praised.

Although the focus is on freshness, the duck soup is really not in line with the theme of 'spring'.It's just that there is no problem, so the judges still gave the other party a passing evaluation.

But if you want to talk about the topic, this bowl of soup is the most representative.Cured duck is like a duck that has been hardened in winter, and it slowly recovers with the arrival of spring.The freshness of the spring bamboo shoots complements the sweetness of the radishes, and the addition of ducks fully expresses the feeling of revival and vitality in spring.

Sure enough, the key to building all of this is actually this soup!
The material selection is excellent. According to the theme, the most suitable material is selected, plus the points of the previous material selection, very full marks!The knife skills are perfect, each piece of spring bamboo shoots and radishes is actually the same size, so that the heat will be evenly distributed, and the taste is perfect at the same time, very full marks!Needless to say, the seasoning is very simple, just add some salt, but it is such a simple step, it actually has the finishing touch. In fact, cooking this thing does not need such cumbersome seasoning, the most suitable is the best, very good!
Needless to say, the heat is enough to fully stew the flavors of cured duck, spring bamboo shoots and radish into the soup, and even if these ingredients are eaten directly, the taste is just right.The cured duck was boiled so juicy, the spring bamboo shoots were fresh and tender, and the radish melted in the mouth, full marks!

"Young man, you are very good!" The old man looked at Wang Yong and nodded with satisfaction.

It’s been a long time since there has been such an excellent junior. The heat, seasoning, knife skills and material selection are all perfect in the field of intermediate chefs.Even if they reach the realm of senior chefs, they still have a place, after all, they can still taste the umami hidden in it.Starting from the construction of umami, this has actually entered the domain of senior chefs!
Especially the attention to detail and the meticulous attitude in cooking are the qualities that a first-class chef needs to possess.For such a kid, let alone an intermediate chef, it would be no problem for him to be a senior chef!
"I'm looking forward to seeing you at the senior chef meeting next year!" The old man said to Wang Yong.

The candidates around were shocked immediately, they knew very well that this meant that Wang Yong was very likely to be an intermediate chef with a grade three or above.And those old mid-level chefs who had taken the test several times suddenly realized that this person looked a little strange. Could it be that this is the first time he came to take the test? !
The first exam, the first exam to get a grade three or above?These veteran mid-level chefs were immediately hit hard by Wang Yong's performance!

"First-rank junior chef Wang Yong, full marks for material selection, full marks for knife skills, full marks for heat, and full marks for seasoning! Plus the extra points for first-rank chefs, the final result, congratulations, you have been promoted to first-rank intermediate chefs!" The host was given by the judges. At that time, he was also taken aback, but finally bit the bullet and announced the result.

Full marks, all rounds are full marks, how long has there been such a result?The host has worked in the chef's guild for a long time, at least in the past five years, he has not seen such a situation!
"Wow!" Although he had probably guessed the result, who would have thought that there would be a first-grade mid-level chef in the examination room!Many people took the exam several times, but they were still below the fifth rank, and suddenly a first rank appeared, which is really hard to understand.

"Why?" A candidate who had taken the exam more than ten times and was still a fourth-grade intermediate chef immediately complained, "Everyone's knife skills, heat and material selection are similar, why can he be a first-grade chef?"

"You are the one who chose to use duck to stew radishes, right?" The old man still remembered him, "I have to say that stewed radishes with duck is also very sweet, but the choice of ingredients!"

Speaking of this, the tone became serious: "Since you want to stew soup, you should choose an old duck, but you chose a duck that is less than a year old. I understand that you are showing a fresh and tender feeling, but the soup is not good enough. It is not fragrant enough. In addition, when the duck is processed, the duck feathers are not completely removed, and the soup still has a hint of duck feathers when you drink it... Above, do you have any objections?"

"Junior...don't dare..." The mid-level chef was ashamed, he didn't expect that he had so many flaws.Then he looked at Wang Yong's pot of soup, what should this soup that can be awarded the title of first-class taste be like? !

P.S
Hungry, hungry, hungry, I'm really hungry; Hungry, hungry, hungry, I'm really hungry; Hungry, hungry, hungry, I'm really hungry!
