The process of cutting the ice only lasts a short moment, and in competition, only one cut is required. The competition is all about speed, accuracy and stability.
Cutting ice is not a practical skill. Although some dishes require the use of ice cubes, the thin ice cut off is of no extra use. However, having the skill of cutting ice is worth showing off for any chef. matter.
After Zhang Hao made the cut, he felt quite proud. This time, he performed exceptionally well. There were only two ice lines on the cut thin ice. The whole piece of thin ice was crystal clear, and it was like a piece of glass when held in his hand. Shenghua Garden There are two or three people who are better than him in knife skills, but when it comes to cutting ice, he is the best. This time he challenged Ye Chui as a representative, and he was given high hopes by the chefs.
At Ye Chui's age, he might be proficient in other aspects of cooking, but as an ice-cutter that has no practical value, he might not be that good at it, right
This is also the result of discussions among the chefs. Cutting ice is a dazzling skill. Ye Chui is so good at cooking at such a young age. He must have spent a long time honing his cooking skills. With this skill of cutting ice, he Definitely not proficient...
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao felt proud not long before Ye Chui's knife struck the ice.
With a squeaking sound, the sound of cutting the ice cubes with the kitchen knife was a bit harsh, which also attracted everyone's attention. Everyone subconsciously looked at Ye Chui.
As the kitchen knife cut down, a piece of thin ice slid across the chopping board. Ye Chui stretched out his fingers and gently pressed down on the sliding thin ice. He put down the kitchen knife, carefully lifted the piece of ice with both hands, and placed it on the table. Look carefully before your eyes.
Then, there was a sigh.
A little disappointed.
An ice pattern inevitably appeared on the thin ice that was as clear as glass.
Ye Chui sighed because after all, he still couldn't cut a perfect piece of thin ice. His wrist strength, speed, and feeling of cutting the knife were all still unable to compare with the peak state of his previous life.
But other people in the kitchen couldn't help but exclaimed. They could clearly see the thin ice in Ye Chui's hand. There was only one ice pattern on the lower left side, and there was only one ice pattern on it.
The presence of ice lines is a sign of instability when cutting ice. The fewer the ice lines, the more advanced the ice cutting skills. Moreover, because cutting ice is very difficult, you want to reduce one line when cutting ice. Ice patterns are very difficult. Zhang Hao's best result on weekdays is three. Today, he cut two ice patterns, which is already an extraordinary performance. However, his joy only lasted for a moment, and was ruthlessly destroyed by Ye Chui. , Ye Chui actually cut out an ice pattern!
"This... this..." Zhang Hao stared blankly at the thin ice in Ye Chui's hand. After a while, he finally expressed his emotion completely, "How is this possible! You... you actually cut an ice pattern. Thin ice? How is this done
The other chefs also woke up from their shock and opened their eyes wide.
Han Yuyan, Qin Yiyue and An Xiaoxiao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Because of the difficulty of cutting ice, they were all sweating for Ye Chui just now, thinking that Ye Chui might be defeated this time. The sand fell, but I didn't expect Ye Chui to still win.
Han Yuyan came to Ye Chui's side, carefully took Bo Bing from Ye Chui's hand, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, with indescribable pride on his face. His master was so powerful, he could do anything, and his eyes started from Bo Bing. After the top was removed, Han Yuyan looked at Zhang Hao again and asked with a cold expression: "Master Zhang, do you want to admit defeat in this ice-cutting competition?"
"This..." Zhang Hao's face was full of unwillingness. He originally thought that even if his cooking skills were not as good as others, he was at least unrivaled in cutting ice. But today he lost to a young man. He didn't want to admit it. , but had to admit that he glanced at the chef next to him with some shame. He was a four-star chef. This third cooking skill competition was supposed to be for the third five-star chef, but because of his ice cutting With determination, they chose to let him play, but he failed everyone and lost the game...
Lu Chen, who had been completely impressed by Ye Chui before, now patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "Admit defeat, this loss is not unfair at all."
Yes, it's not unfair at all. After seeing Ye Chui's uncanny tofu carving, Ye Chui was almost deified in Lu Chen's heart...
Zhang Hao looked a little reluctant, but after glancing at the thin ice in Han Yuyan's hand, he nodded: "Okay, I admit defeat."
Of the three cooking competitions today, Ye Chui also won the third one.
Now, let’s look at the bun competition between Ye Chui and Yin Yuehua at the beginning.
In the corner of the kitchen, Gao Yuesheng's secretary has begun to wipe the sweat from his forehead. It is already the cold winter season, and the kitchen is not too hot, but the secretary is sweating constantly. His handkerchief has already completely Wet with sweat, his voice seemed to be slightly trembling when he spoke to the mobile phone: "Boss, what is the origin of Ye Chui? How can he master even a side skill like cutting ice so well? In this game, Or he won..."
Gao Yuesheng on the other side of the phone fell silent.
At this moment, Gao Yuesheng was sitting in his office in Shenghuayuan, with an indescribable nervousness on his face. His body began to tremble slightly, not knowing whether it was because of fear or fear. He had long since lost the elegant temperament he usually gave people. He suddenly felt that he was a veritable idiot. He shouldn't have been like this. He always paid attention to being kind to others in business. When a new hotel opened, he would send congratulatory gifts and say congratulations a few times whether it was a competitor or not. This was what he followed. principle, he showed hostility towards Ye Chui, offending Ye Chui from the beginning...
This Ye Chui is definitely the most terrifying opponent he has encountered since he started running the restaurant!
He suddenly understood something: Ye Chui was able to have Mr. Han as his backer, not because he had any cordial relationship with Mr. Han. Everyone in the circle knew that Mr. Han's temperament was very important to his son and grandson. How could he care so much about an outsider if he was so strict
There is only one reason, and that is that Ye Chui has the capital to make him care, and there is only one thing that can attract Mr. Han...
That's cooking.
Superb cooking skills!
"I lost. This time I lost completely..." Gao Yuesheng said weakly.
"Boss, there is one last competition. Yin Yuehua's jade buns are the specialty of our hotel and are famous far and wide. I have seen the buns Ye Chui made just now. They are just ordinary-looking buns. I think the possibility of him winning is very small. ..." the secretary hurriedly persuaded.
But Gao Yuesheng seemed to be frustrated: "How can this kid only make ordinary buns? There must be something special about those buns..."
"boss… "
"You should stop treating him as a young man. You should treat him as a senior chef like Brother Miao. Think about it, if he is a chef of that level, how can he make steamed buns?" Will it be ordinary?" Gao Yuesheng's understanding of Ye Chui has completely changed.
The secretary was speechless.
Gao Yuesheng continued: "Hang up the phone and tell me the results when the meeting is over. Alas, Manhan Tower will become the most competitive hotel in Yanjing in the future. He opened it on the basis of my Shenghuayuan. ah… "
With that said, Gao Yuesheng hung up the phone.
The secretary wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously and looked at the chefs in the kitchen.
Ye Chui has already won the second and third cooking skills competition, and it is still a convincing victory. Now it’s time to look at the steamed buns from the first competition. The buns will not be cooked for a while. Ye Chui, Qin Yiyue, Han Yuyan and An Xiaoxiao walked to the steamer on one side and waited for the steamed buns to come out.
Han Yuyan was still holding the piece of thin ice lovingly, talking to An Xiaoxiao in a low voice about how extraordinary Ye Chui was just now. Qin Yiyue couldn't help looking at Ye Chui like a monster, and asked: "Boss, are you the reincarnation of a monster? I originally thought I had outstanding talents, but now I realize that I am just like a fool compared to you. How did you develop such a cooking skill as cutting ice?"
"It's very simple. A chef actually pays attention to one method that can be applied to all methods. Cutting ice is a demonstration of knife skills. As long as the knife skills are strong enough, cutting ice is just a trivial skill." Ye Chui smiled and said some of his insights, "Cut ice. The secret is to be fast, accurate and stable, and these are also some of the specific manifestations of knife skills. As long as the knife skills are strong enough, cutting ice is easy. "
Qin Yiyue smiled bitterly: "You said it was easy, but didn't the one who can cut ice go through a long period of training?"
"Those who can cut ice may not necessarily have good knife skills, but if they are good at cutting ice, they must be good at cutting ice." Ye Chui said with a smile.
Qin Yiyue was stunned for a moment, and vaguely understood something: "Cubing ice is still a by-product after all..."
"That's right." Ye Chui smiled and nodded, "Don't think about putting too much effort in this area, just focus on practicing your sword skills. When you reach a certain level, whether it's carving or cutting ice, you will be able to do it easily."
"Then you must be at a very high level..." Qin Yiyue said, looking at Ye Chui faintly, "Boss, how high is your level?"
"Haha, it must be as high as three or four stories."
Ye Chui thought of some wisecracks from his previous life, so he said with a smile.
Qin Yiyue, Han Yuyan and An Xiaoxiao were all stunned. How high is three or four stories high
Ye Chui did not continue this topic, but pointed to the steamer next to him: "Okay, the buns are about to be steamed, please help me start the pot."
Because the buns from Shenghua Garden were put into the steamer first, the jade buns from Shenghua Garden had just been steamed at this time. Ye Chui's ordinary-looking steamed buns were different from Yin Yuehua's. The jade bun competition is about to begin... (~^~)
