"I didn't have high expectations for the five-star competition, but this dish was really good and exceeded my expectations. If it were a previous five-star competition, the level of this dish would definitely be top-notch. But I don't know how the next few people will perform."
What Mr. Han said was definitely a great compliment to Dong Qian's cooking, and considering Mr. Han's level, his "okay" was equivalent to the "quite good" of an ordinary gourmet like Lian Hao.
What many people don’t understand is that Ye Chui, who was standing next to Old Han, said “It’s OK”. How could this young man, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, come to the same evaluation as Old Han
And it seems that Mr. Han respects his evaluation very much.
Dong Qian was smiling now. From a chef's perspective, she was very proud to receive such an evaluation from Mr. Han, but she also didn't understand why Ye Chui said that even if he was favored by Mr. Han. It was as if he had the same food appreciation ability as Mr. Han, which made her feel a little unconvinced.
After tasting Dong Qian's dish, Elder Han could have left, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "Elder Han, could you please tell me if there is anything wrong with this dish?"
This request is not excessive.
Old Han nodded, but he didn't speak directly. Instead, he looked at Ye Chui and said, "Boy, you speak!"
This statement once again shocked everyone: Only if Elder Han trusted Ye Chui immensely and believed that he had the same level of appreciation as himself, would he let him answer Dong Qian's question on his behalf...
But he is just a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old!
When Ye Chui heard that Old Han had thrown the question at him, he rolled his eyes again. This old man must have done it on purpose. However, he glanced at Dong Qian who was looking at him scrutinizingly, and he had no choice but to start explaining.
"This dish is basically delicious, with only a few flaws. The first is the walnuts. Walnuts are dried fruits. Although they have the mellow aroma of dried fruits, they still require the necessary cooking methods when used as ingredients. When you are frying this dish, the walnut kernels are added last. There is nothing wrong with this order, but because of the time limit for frying, the peach kernels are not fully cooked. It is taboo to cook raw or cooked food, and raw walnuts and chicken are incompatible. So I suggest that when frying this dish, the walnut kernels should be stir-fried first, which can not only retain the taste of the walnuts, but also reduce the difference between raw and cooked.
The second point is the texture of the chicken. Of course, the chicken in your dish should be wild pheasant. The chicken is tender and should be slaughtered in the early morning. The meat is tender and very good. However, the chicken in this dish needs to be thickened and fried to make the taste most outstanding. But when thickening, you used wet starch and eggs. The eggs were chosen correctly, but the taste of eggs conflicts with chicken, which will affect the taste of chicken. The perfect way is to remove the egg yolk and leave only the egg white when thickening. As for the rest of this dish, you did it very well. The heat, frying skills, and knife skills are almost perfect. The flaws do not outweigh the merits. It is still a delicious dish. "
Ye Chui's comments were spoken casually and logically. Every word made sense. Almost everyone at the scene was stunned after hearing them. Dong Qian was originally dissatisfied with Ye Chui and wanted to find faults in his comments. But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say a word. After all, she was a very good chef and could understand the weight of Ye Chui's words.
Others were amazed that Ye Chui was able to explain so many truths after just taking a small sip. Is this the tongue of God
Lian Hong stood at one side with his eyes wide open, and he could not help but admire Ye Chu. He could draw so many conclusions based on just one sentence. Even if he knew a lot about peach kernel and mountain chicken, it would be impossible...
The audience around was talking about it.
"Who is this young man? How could he be so powerful?"
"I recognize him. He was a judge in the first competition and won the Judges Award in the end!"
"Is there any inside information here?"
"Is there any inside story? That's Mr. Han. With his reputation, how could he do such a thing? I can only say that this young man is too amazing..."
"There will definitely be a great figure in our Chinese food industry in the future..."
Among these stunned people, Han Yuyan, Lin Wei, Anjing and Wang Shiyu were the calmest. Ye Chui already held a very high position in their hearts. Even if Ye Chui did something shocking, they had already remained calm.
As for Old Han, who was sitting next to Ye Chui, his expression was calm at this time, but his dull eyes also showed his surprise. Of the two flaws mentioned by Ye Chui, he only noticed the first one, and did not notice the second one, the egg white problem. Now that he savored it carefully, it seemed that there was indeed some problem...
This kid is actually better than me
Although Old Han thought Ye Chui was a genius chef, this fact still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Noticing the look in Han Lao's eyes, Ye Chui was secretly proud. This old man deserved to be beaten...
In fact, the reason why Ye Chu could taste the second flaw was not because his tongue was better than Old Han's, but because he was already very familiar with this dish.
The host responded and said a bunch of polite words with a smile. Dong Qian also came to her senses and her eyes changed again when she looked at Ye Chui. By now, her contempt for Ye Chui had completely disappeared. What she thought in her heart was that Tian Xiaodu recognized Ye Chui as his master. It seemed that it was not because Tian Xiaodu had other intentions. This young man was indeed qualified to be the master of the fat man...
Dong Qian retreated, shocked that her three views had been challenged.
The camera lens on the scene began to focus again on the chefs who were cooking.
Old Han glared at Ye Chui unhappily: "Good boy, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
"No, I'm just telling the truth." Ye Cui said with a happy smile.
"Grandpa and Master, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all." Han Yuyan asked with a strange look on his face.
Old Han glared at his granddaughter in anger: "If you don't understand, don't ask!"
Han Yuyan was rebuked by his grandfather and immediately glared at Ye Chui in displeasure.
Ye Chui glared at her: If you dare to glare at Master, be careful that he will enforce the family rules...
Shortly after Dong Qian went down, the second person who had finished the dish came over with the dish.
This time it was Qin Yiyue, and the dish he was going to cook was braised round fish with golden legs.
Although the dish of Golden Leg Braised Round Fish contains the word "braised", the focus is still on stewing. The essence of this dish is also the soup. Round fish is soft-shelled turtle, and soft-shelled turtle soup has always been a good food supplement with rich nutrition. With the addition of ham, it is even more wonderful.
The golden-legged roasted soft-shelled turtle made by Qin Yiyue was served in a soup bowl, with a spoon and a small bowl placed on the side.
Old Han didn't have much expectation for today's game, but after eating Dong Qian's peach kernel and pheasant cubes, he had great expectations. After taking a look at Qin Yiyue, he smiled and said, "You must be Qin Yiyue, right? I have heard of your name. You are a talented young man who will definitely achieve something in the future."
"Thank you, Mr. Han." Even someone as arrogant as Qin Yiyue was respectful when facing Mr. Han, but his eyes quietly glanced at Ye Chui next to him. Speaking of talented young people, he would definitely not refuse the title in the past, but now with Ye Chui beside him, what qualifications does he have to say that about himself
Turning his attention back to his own dishes, Qin Yiyue personally helped Mr. Han to serve a bowl of thick soup and handed it to Mr. Han: "Mr. Han, please have a taste."
Old Han nodded. This time he did not let Ye Chui taste it first. He picked up the spoon and took a sip. A look of enjoyment appeared on his face. He tasted the soup carefully. After a moment, he picked up the spoon again to continue drinking the soup. Soon, a small bowl of soup was put into his mouth. He also did not give up the turtle meat and ham in the bowl.
After finishing the meal, Old Han took the towel handed over by Han Yuyan and gently wiped his mouth. Then he continued to say to Qin Yiyue: "Not bad, but I am a little surprised. The fiery red meat in your dish should be the hind leg meat of pork, but it is not fresh pork. However, it can be made fresh, fragrant and sweet, fat but not greasy, and complements the turtle. I want to know what this is?"
The fiery red piece of meat that Mr. Han mentioned refers to the ham. Ham is bright red in color. It is said that it was named ham by Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty because of this flame-like color - this is the origin of ham.
There was no ham in this world originally, but Ye Chui had already vaguely given Qin Yiyue some clues. Qin Yiyue was indeed amazing, as he actually made ham in a very short time.
Of course, ingredients like ham need time to mature before they become delicious. The taste of Qin Yiyue’s simplified version of ham is obviously greatly reduced, but it still maintains a very high standard.
When Qin Yiyue heard Mr. Han's question, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly pointed at Ye Chui who was standing next to Mr. Han: "You should ask him this question."
"… "
Ye Chui almost burst into swear words, why are you asking him again! Is this all intentional
Countless people at the scene were getting a little agitated again. In the last match, Mr. Han asked Ye Chui to comment first, and in this match, Qin Yiyue actually asked Ye Chui to explain what that fiery red piece of meat was... What was the origin of this Ye Chui!
Old Han looked at Ye Chui with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't understand how Ye Chui was related to Qin Yiyue. He asked curiously, "Boy, do you know the origin of this piece of meat?"
"It's called ham, which is air-dried pork hind leg meat. The "golden leg" in "golden leg roasted round fish" refers to ham. This ingredient is mentioned in some Chinese classics..." At this time, Ye Chui could only bite the bullet and explain. (~^~)
