Since the introduction of the Chef Basic Skills Examination, there have been very few examples of people receiving a 10 out of 10 rating. After all, a 10 out of 10 rating requires perfection. In addition to recreating the taste of the original recipe, one must also improve upon it, which is not something an ordinary novice chef can accomplish.
But Ye Chui did it. His plate of dry-fried beef noodles completely convinced two of the three scoring teachers.
Wang Haichun came back to his senses from his surprise. He felt very embarrassed. He gave zero points, but the other two teachers gave 10 points. Wasn't this deliberately going against him? He said coldly to Ge Yongming and Fan Wenbin: "When did a 10-point evaluation become so cheap? As a scoring teacher, colluding with the examinee is a very serious problem!"
"Hmph, speaking of cheapness, how many candidates have been awarded zero points since the chef examination began? I am convinced by this candidate's 10 points, and you say I colluded? After the exam is over, I will investigate whether someone colluded with outsiders to deliberately discredit this candidate!" Ge Yongming and Wang Haichun said tit for tat.
The old man was obviously on Ye Chui's side. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Chui gently, as if telling Ye Chui that he would support him no matter what.
Ye Cui smiled and nodded to express his gratitude. At the same time, he began to feel confused. He wondered how he had offended this Wang Haichun. It seemed that he had never seen this person before in his memory.
"Teacher Wang." Fan Wenbin, the youngest of the three graders, stood up and gently placed the plate of dry fried beef noodles in front of Wang Haichun. "Please at least try this dish. I think you will understand why Teacher Ge and I gave it a 10."
Wang Haichun hesitated. He didn't get along well with Ge Yongming on weekdays. After hearing what Ge Yongming said, he backed off. After all, helping Zhao Hongyu was just a piece of cake. He originally thought that a 16- or 17-year-old boy could have much power. But he didn't expect that the dishes made by Ye Chui actually moved Ge Yongming and Fan Wenbin. In order to protect him, they even went against him.
It would be bad if this matter got out of hand. The most important thing is, is Ye Chui's fried beef noodles really that delicious
Thinking of this, Wang Haichun hesitantly picked up the bamboo chopsticks, picked up the rice noodles and beef and put them in his mouth.
The beef is fried until 60% done and then returned to the pan to stir-fry to keep the aroma restrained. As you take a bite, the unique aroma bursts out, accompanied by the tender, smooth and oily fried rice noodles, making this dish, which has been passed down for less than a hundred years, exude its most charming flavor. Nowadays, it is popular to stir-fry rice noodles with dried tofu, and the rice noodles made with it have a different kind of deliciousness. However, the taste is definitely not as good as that of beef. One bite of it makes people feel that the beef in the stir-fried beef rice noodles might really be the same as beef!
"It's... so delicious!" Wang Haichun couldn't help but exclaimed softly.
This immediately shocked all the candidates who were paying attention here. Wang Haichun, who had just been arguing with Ye Chui, had such a drastic change in his attitude after just tasting Ye Chui's dish. This could only mean that the dry fried beef noodles made by Ye Chui was really delicious. Some candidates didn't even have the mood to continue the exam and wanted to try the taste of this dry fried beef noodles.
Sun Yi, one of the candidates, finally felt relieved at this moment. It seemed that Ye Chui really had real talent and his previous guidance was not wrong. Moreover, maybe because of his rolling knife block, he could get a lot of extra points for himself!
However, just when he was feeling delighted and thinking that his future was bright, an accident suddenly happened - Zhao Hongyu could no longer bear it and rushed in from outside the examination room.
"Wait!" Zhao Hongyu shouted anxiously, "I want to report him, he just cheated!"
"What?" Everyone in the examination room was shocked.
Ye Cui saw the indescribable surprise in Zhao Hongyu's heart. He never expected to meet this quiet classmate and suitor here. What he couldn't understand even more was why he accused him of cheating.
Wang Haichun was just regretting his inability to control himself. When he heard Zhao Hongyu's accusation, he was slightly stunned: "Hongyu, what's going on?"
"I saw it clearly outside just now. Ye Chui gave the lettuce he had cut to the person next to him!" Zhao Hongyu said, pointing his finger at Sun Yi in the distance.
Suddenly, all eyes were focused on Sun Yi.
Ye Chui thought of something and looked at his stove, frowning slightly. As expected, he found that the rolling cutters he had used for demonstration had disappeared. It was obvious that Sun Yi had secretly taken away the rolling cutters while he was concentrating on the wok...
Sun Yi was already panicking, and hurriedly explained: "No... I didn't..."
"Cheating is a very serious behavior! Both the cheater and the accomplice in cheating will be disqualified from the exam!" Wang Haichun took this opportunity to speak out. He had already walked towards Sun Yi. Fan Wenbin and Ge Yongming did not expect that there would be sudden complications, so they hurriedly followed.
Ye Chui rubbed his hair, a helpless look on his face, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hongyu: Ye Chui always thought that he was a very easy-going person, and he seldom got angry because of certain people, but Zhao Hongyu did it. Just because of what happened during the spring outing two days ago, he actually wanted to do things so drastically, preventing himself from getting a chef's license and even preventing his own restaurant from opening
Thinking of this, Ye Chui smiled at Zhao Hongyu. It looked like a very ordinary smile, but Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but tremble all over, feeling a hint of coldness...
"Teacher, I... I..." Sun Yi was already panicking, and subconsciously tried to cover the pickled lettuce in the bowl, but Wang Haichun pushed his hand away: "Tell me the truth, did someone help you cut the lettuce? Cheating is..."
Wang Haichun, who was questioning, suddenly stopped talking.
Ge Yongming and Fan Wenbin next to them also made "Huh" sounds at the same time.
At this moment, the three graders were looking at the emerald green lettuce in the bowl. What surprised them was the shape of the cut pieces. All three were experts. Ge Yongming couldn't help but pick up a piece of lettuce and looked at it carefully: "The cuts made by this cutter are consistent in shape, and most importantly, there is an arc surface... and it is so smooth and neat. The knife skills are really amazing!"
The rolling cutter is a relatively difficult cutting method to master. It is not difficult to learn, but it is not something that ordinary people can do to perform well. The rolling cutter is used to cut cylindrical ingredients such as eggplants, carrots, and lettuce while rotating the ingredients. When the technique is extremely proficient, the rotation of the knife and the ingredients will be perfectly coordinated, forming an arc on the cut surface of the rolling cutter.
A true master can not only cut out an arc, but can even make the arc smooth, round, and natural!
These three teachers knew this best, and the reason they looked stunned at this moment was because the shape of the lettuce was definitely the most perfect shape that could be cut by a rolling cutter!
"Someone can actually cut a rolling cutter like this..." Wang Haichun was deeply shocked again today. He even seemed to have forgotten the previous confrontation and looked at Ge Yongming. "Teacher Ge, have you seen a rolling cutter like this before?"
"I have seen people who can make this kind of rolling block, but those people are all famous chefs. But the candidates here..." Ge Yongming glanced at Sun Yi and shook his head slightly. He didn't think that Sun Yi could cut this kind of rolling block. Then, as Zhao Hongyu said, the rolling block was cut by Ye Chui. He looked at Ye Chui with complicated eyes and sighed in his heart. It was amazing that such a young person could make this kind of rolling block that required hard work and practice.
And then he suddenly thought of something: "Oh, right, the knife!"
The quality of the kitchen knife is also the key to knife skills. Ye Chui is too young. Although the dry fried beef noodles have already amazed him once, he still doesn't think that Ye Chui can easily cut out such perfect rolling pieces. This made Ge Yongming subconsciously think of Ye Chui's knife. He shouted and turned around hurriedly. Behind him was the stove where Ye Chui had taken the test before.
The kitchen knife that had been wiped clean was lying there quietly on the chopping board. Ge Yongming picked up the knife, looked at it for a few seconds, and was shocked again.
"This knife is actually Zhanxiang!"
Hearing Ge Yongming's exclamation, Ye Chui was stunned. The kitchen knife that Old Han gave him was so famous
