Chapter 402 Western Food
I heard someone say that the rating assessment after the entrance examination is mainly about the chef's specialty dish performance.
Of course, there may be changes in this year's assessment.
Due to the impact of foreign food culture and the newly opened Western restaurant in Nanhu Hotel, this aspect is also likely to appear in the assessment field.
According to Du Lianggong's passion for Western dishes, it is very possible.
When thinking about this possibility, everyone is beating drums in their hearts.
Not everyone has the opportunity to study abroad, and not everyone has the opportunity to be exposed to a steady stream of new things.
Some cooks who come from small towns don't even know anything about Western food.
Now, several chefs who have never been exposed to Western food are praying silently in their hearts not to follow the trend.
Unfortunately, things often happen when you don't want to do something.
As soon as the second test questions came out, many people closed their eyes helplessly.
The organizer removed the previous ingredients and replaced them with things that many people had never seen before. They also brought two large ovens up for everyone to use.
This is the first time for many people to see this oven. According to the host, Du Lianggong brought it back when he went to study abroad. Currently, they are the only one in Nancheng that has it.
The oven is electric and has a heating tube inside, and the food that needs to be baked can be placed in the middle.
Nowadays, these things are not smart, there is no time and temperature adjustment, and people need to watch the time or turn them over.
This is much more convenient than the charcoal grill in Xiangkeju. At least you don’t need to add charcoal and the heat is easy to control.
The two ovens are equipped with two assistants, who can bake food for everyone for a while.
The test question this time is to ask everyone to cook one or more Western dishes that can be used as staple food.
There are no restrictions on categories, and everyone is free to play as they please, provided they can eat enough.
In terms of time, as long as it is ready before twelve o'clock, it takes nearly two hours.
This kind of broad question is quite difficult to be honest.
The most important thing is that everyone is very unfamiliar with the field of Western food.
After the exam questions were announced, all the judges left, leaving only the waiter and the moderator to maintain order.
Because we couldn’t communicate with each other, everyone could only look at me and me at you, and they all expressed confusion and speechlessness.
Then, they all stared at Jiao Shutian.
While they were confused, Jiao Shutian had already submitted his menu and started to get busy.
It was obvious that he knew what he wanted to do and was confident about it.
Because there were only nine people left in the assessment field at this time, the distance between Gu Jinyao and Guo Baogen was getting closer.
There is only one Zeng Peng between them.
The two of them exchanged glances in the distance and started writing the list.
Although the two of them don't know much about Western food, they have done it at least.
There is no other way, just hurry up and put things on the shelves, make the things first, and just let nature take its course.
Before coming to take the assessment, Gu Jinyao and Guo Baogen discussed what they would do if they encountered a Western-style meal assessment.
Compared to others, they were prepared in advance.
Next to him, Zeng Peng saw the two of them starting to prepare, with envy and admiration in his eyes.
It seems that these two people have learned from each other.
It's amazing. Although he is so young, that young man even looks like he is 18 or 19 years old. Not only can he pass the entrance examination, but he can also cook Western food.
What are the backgrounds of these two people?
Zeng Peng sighed, holding the pen and not knowing what to write.
Because he doesn't know how to cook Western food at all.
Rushing for a bunch of things will only cause a waste of ingredients.
Zeng Peng simply stopped writing, put down his pen and stared at the two people next to him.
See what others do, and you might end up learning something.
Gu Jinyao also has little confidence in cooking Western food.
But the problem has been solved, and now I can only try my best to make things.
This time Gu Jinyao plans to make a chicken cheese flatbread and serve it with mushroom soup.
Since time was tight, she could just do these two things.
That flatbread dough called pizza needs to ferment, and it takes a lot of time.
On the other hand, what Guo Baogen did was simpler.
He wants to fry a steak and make mashed potatoes.
Because the organizer provided nothing but ingredients and raw materials, he had to make the black pepper sauce, which looked very bad in color, by himself.
After the assessment started, half of the people started to move.
Gu Jinyao concentrated on doing his own thing and had no time to pay attention to others.
When she was fermenting the dough and preparing to prepare the soup, she took a general look around and found that there were five or six people who had experience in making Western food, and two others felt like they were making it randomly.
Zeng Peng, who was next to him, didn't do anything and kept looking at others.
It seems that this person is ready to give up.
In fact, it is not a loss if you can pass the entrance examination.
At half past eleven, the judges came back one after another.
At that time, there was no one on the field to hand over food.
Even Jiao Shutian is waiting for his bread.
Seeing everyone's obvious lack of confidence, Du Lianggong showed a smile.
But when he saw the big lobster and vegetable soup on Jiao Shutian's table, his smile dropped and his frown turned serious.
When there were twenty minutes left, Jiao Shutian was the first to hand over the dishes.
Jiao Shutian’s dish is lobster in creamy pesto lemon sauce, a vegetable soup with toast, grilled corn and broccoli.
This dish can feed two people.
As soon as the things were placed, the reporters nearby started taking photos frantically.
Apart from anything else, the way the big red lobster is placed on the plate is noble and beautiful.
Jiao Shutian’s product passed without any pressure, and all seven judges tried his product, including Du Lianggong.
Jiao Shutian took the lead, and others raised their hands one after another.
But compared to what Jiao Shutian makes, what others make can only be regarded as a country version of Western food, which is simple and ordinary.
But this time, as long as you can do it, I will give it to you.
Because some people even failed to make bread and handed over a flatbread.
Some people fry chicken or beef that is too old and cannot be cut.
In this scene, Gu Jinyao and Guo Baogen had another encounter.
While those reporters were taking pictures, Guo Baogen came over and said to Gu Jinyao: "Fortunately, we have made preparations, otherwise we would have stopped here."
Gu Jinyao: "Master helped us."
Guo Baogen nodded.
On the importance of apprenticeship.
At this time, Zeng Peng came to congratulate them again.
He failed and gave up the competition directly.
Zeng Peng looked a little depressed.
In fact, Zeng Peng is quite good. He was the choker in the first three games.
It is indeed a pity that Western food that is unfamiliar to me was dismissed.
Zeng Peng said: "I have been a cook for almost 30 years. When I was young, I would host banquets for everyone in the village. Later, I worked as an apprentice in a state-owned hotel. I followed the master for ten years, and then I took his place as the chef for twenty years.
kitchen.
Before coming, dozens of apprentices bought me wine, hoping that I could go back with the title of Immortal Chef.
