Reborn – Super Chef

Five gourmets gave Ye Chui five points one after another. Just when Lin Li, Zhang Jiahui and others couldn't hide their surprise on their faces, Michelle immediately said: "This is the score for Mr. Ye. The following is Mr. Zhang’s rating——I think the taste of Mr. Zhang’s dishes is very outstanding. If I eat them in normal times, I might give them four points. The gap between them, so... I give three points."

"I also have the same feeling. I can tell that Mr. Zhang's dish should have pork in it, and the pork was cut into pieces. However, the meat did not play any role. Since the focus of this dish is eggplant , then I think I should taste the aroma of pork when I eat eggplant, but your eggplant doesn’t have this flavor, which makes the pork a bit redundant.” Hannah continued.

"I also agree with what Hannah and Michelle said." Chris nodded and said, "So, I can only give this dish two points."

Hannah nodded: "It still has merits...so I'll give it three points."

It was Tony who spoke next: "You are right, if I didn't eat this dish with Mr. Ye, I might give a higher score, but I just ate Mr. Ye's dish, and taste this dish again, Immediately felt the strong drop, so... I give it two points."

"One point." Sid went on to say, he didn't have any extra introduction, the comments of the first four judges already represented a lot.

Chen Tian, ​​Jiang Yuemei, Shen Zhongda and others all showed happy expressions. They are Ye Chui's supporters. They originally belonged to the top seven restaurants in Chinatown. From Lin Li's shameless behavior before, and now that Ye Chui's salted fish and eggplant stew has won a big victory, all they feel is happiness.

Mrs. Gao, Huang Yiyuan and the others looked very bad.

Zhang Jiahui's whole body became stiff, and the expression on his face seemed to be completely lost, as if he couldn't believe it.

Robert said with a smile at this time: "Then, Ye Chui's dishes got a full five-point rating, and Mr. Zhang's dishes... don't need to compile them specifically. The first dish of this culinary competition is naturally Mr. Ye has won."

"Wait a minute..." Lin Li shouted unwillingly.

Robert looked at Lin Li with some displeasure: "Mr. Lin, are you dissatisfied with the result? Do you want to question the fairness and fairness of these five gourmets?"

"No, no..." Lin Li hastily denied, but he continued, "I just... just... just... Mr. Ye used a unique ingredient in this dish, which made him This dish is welcomed by gourmets, but when we decided on the rules of the cooking competition, we have made it clear that the ingredients used in this cooking competition are only eggplant and mutton, and Ye Chui is not a dish. The main ingredient is eggplant, so... his dish is not eligible for the competition!"

Lin Li stuttered at first, but the more he talked, the more confident he became. The highlight of Ye Chui's dish is the salted fish. Just now, the five gourmets also praised the salted fish in this dish, and their competition was eggplant , Therefore, Ye Chui is not eligible to compete with this dish.

Hearing Lin Li's words, everyone was a little silent. Lin Li's words sounded a little preposterous, but...but they also made sense, so others looked at Ye Chui, wanting to know what Ye Chui said.

Ye Chui smiled.

"Salted fish is just an ingredient, and there is only a small amount. The focus of this dish is eggplant." Ye Chui continued with a calm smile, "Master Zhang also put pork in this dish, right?"

Tang Shanshan hastily translated Ye Chui's words to the five gourmets.

(ps: There is a mistake in the previous chapter, Han Yuyan is staying in the kitchen, so it should be Tang Shanshan who helped Ye Chui translate English... sorry.)

"But Miss Hannah just said that the pork in Master Zhang's dish is superfluous, and the taste is not reflected in it, so Mr. Zhang's pork should not be counted." Lin Li said hastily.

Ye Chui glanced at Lin Li with a look of competition: "If you let it go, you just let it go, it doesn't count? You think it's a child's play, but the taste of the pork is not reflected... This only shows that there is something wrong with Master Zhang's cooking skills , or what I said before, your 40-year-old eggplant stew, there is something wrong with the way it is done!"

Zhang Jiahui looked lonely at first, but when he heard Ye Chui accuse him of having problems with his cooking skills, he still inevitably became angry. He is an eight-star chef, and he is a famous chef in the world, but now Ye Chui accused him of it. Now anyone has a reason to feel angry!

He looked at Ye Chui coldly: "Then I want to ask Ye Chui, what's wrong with my cooking skills!"

Ye Chui walked to the dining table and took a look at Zhang Jiahui's dish. He had never tasted Lin's eggplant stew, but he had already understood a lot through the comments of several gourmets and the quality of this dish, so he Then he said: "There is a problem with your eggplant method. Although there are more salted fish in my salted fish and eggplant stew, the salted fish is only used for seasoning. If I also replace it with pork, then my eggplant will still be cooked. Strong pork aroma."

Tang Shanshan hastily translated these words.

Michelle asked with great interest: "Mr. Ye, may I ask why this is? Oh, if this belongs to the ranks of confidential recipes, you can refuse to answer, Mr. Ye."

"No, it's just a little common sense in cooking." Ye Chui said with a faint smile, but his little common sense made Lin Li, Zhang Jiahui and others look even more ugly... Ye Chui continued, "The texture of eggplant , making it easy to absorb the taste of other ingredients, Chinese cuisine has discovered this feature a long time ago, and has developed many delicacies, for example, the palace eggplant in the Manhan Banquet is one of them, and this dish of Linjia eggplant It appeared in the era when meat was poisonous. At that time, there were no meat ingredients in cooking. The characteristic of this dish is that it is boiled. The taste of condiments is easy to taste in the casserole. However, after the ban on meat was lifted, I think Mr. Zhang improved it. He changed the recipe and added pork, but he obviously continued the original method of cooking eggplant. Although the addition of pork improved the taste of this dish, it couldn’t make the aroma of pork blend into the eggplant. This is a big failure!”

Zhang Jiahui actually knew the problem that Ye Chui mentioned. Adding pork to the eggplant stew made the dish more delicious, but the pork was not tasty. His improved method was to cut the pork into pieces and serve it as a side dish for diners. When picking up the eggplant, the pork diced on the eggplant will naturally make you taste the aroma of pork all the time, but this kind of tricky way obviously can't impress the five gourmets.

Zhang Jiahui said to Ye Chui angrily: "I have tried many times, and it is impossible for the taste of pork to blend into the eggplant. This is probably determined by the characteristics of pork. Even if Mr. Ye cooks this dish, I'm afraid That's the way it is."

"It's not that difficult to make the pork taste good. In fact, it's really just common sense." Ye Chui said with a faint smile, "If I'm not wrong, the most important thing in the Lin family's eggplant cooking method is that the eggplant is cooked before cooking. It’s steamed first to soften the texture of the eggplant, right?”

Lin Li and Zhang Jiahui changed their colors one after another. This is indeed the most important secret recipe for eggplant stew. Unexpectedly, Ye Chui revealed it directly.

I only heard Ye Chui continue to say: "This approach is a big mistake. Steaming eggplant will make the eggplant absorb water, destroy the spongy texture of the eggplant's original artifact, and it will be difficult to absorb other flavors. The main reason why Mr. Zhang added pork to the eggplant stew, but the pork is not tasty, and the solution to this problem is actually very simple. Do not steam the eggplant before cooking, but stir-fry it to make the eggplant absorb the oil. You can absorb the excess flavor."

Zhang Jiahui had a blank expression on his face, as if he suddenly thought of something, he rushed into the kitchen impatiently, it seemed that he was going to experiment.

Lin Li's complexion was even more ugly. He lost the first competition, and it was so ugly. However, a light suddenly flashed in his heart: It seems that Ye Chui really knows this eggplant pot very well. The eggplant stew that comes out will definitely be very delicious...

Even if he lost in today's competition, he won't lose too much if he got a better eggplant recipe from the Lin family.

As a restaurant owner, profit is the most important thing. Lin Li himself doesn't care about the independence of Chinatown cuisine. What he cares about is the interests behind it.

It's just that Lin Li's idea just popped up in his mind, and before he had time to be happy, he just heard Ye Chui continue: "Boss Lin, although there are only small changes in the method of making eggplant stew, you should know How valuable this kind of change is, five gourmets are here, so, I don't think you will rashly steal it, Boss Lin?"

"..." Lin Li's complexion suddenly became more difficult.

"Of course." Ye Chui laughed leisurely again, "Actually, I don't value this little common sense very much. If you are willing to admit defeat without hesitation, it's not nothing to tell you..."

Lin Li had a look of hesitation on his face.

"Lin Li!" Madam Gao suddenly shouted angrily.

Lin Li finally came to his senses, and snorted coldly: "Master Ye, this match is only half over, and my Lin's mutton stew may not lose to you."

"hehe."

Ye Chui smiled lightly, but stopped talking.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Lin Li's face, and he walked back to Mrs. Gao and Huang Yiyuan. Now his heart has been seduced by Ye Chui's little common sense... The way of cooking, even a little common sense It can have a huge impact on the taste of food.

The value is immeasurable. (~^~)
