Chapter 454 Qualified
As judges, Xue Yi and Ma Jiang are naturally very strict and have very high requirements for the color, flavor, shape, shape and quality of the dishes.
There was no big problem with the presentation of the three dishes Su Zi put on the table.
The pumpkin soup is extremely smooth. It flows down the spoon and is as soft and fine as silk. It is impeccable in appearance.
Su Zifang increasingly felt that he had special talent in making soup.
From the soup stock to the duck blood vermicelli soup, from the winter melon and pork ribs soup to the pumpkin soup, they all performed exceptionally well, even slightly sublimely.
The golden pumpkin soup has a touch of greenery on top, and the refreshing taste of mint brings out a little bit of salt contained in it. The mellow onion and celery flavors fill every corner of the mouth, making the pumpkin soup even sweeter and more mellow.
"I think it's okay." Ma Jiang nodded slightly: "The overall taste of the dish is excellent, the seasoning is very good, and it is more fragrant than ordinary pumpkin soup. Mint is an excellent embellishment, which instantly enriches the taste of this dish, and it is very
It’s good enough to neutralize the sweetness of pumpkin.”
"The only drawback is the lack of cream. Although filtration has been used to make up for the fineness problem, the palatability is still a bit lacking."
Xue Yi put down the spoon, wiped away the pumpkin juice on his lips, looked at Ma Jiang and shook his head slightly: "There are also carrots and celery."
"I don't know where I learned this recipe. In fact, carrots are not very suitable for pumpkin soup, and customers who don't like this ingredient will notice it."
"The most taboo thing about soup is adding some ingredients that can easily cause taboos."
"Part of the role of mint is to neutralize these flavors, and part of it also plays a mediating role."
"Maybe it's a mixture of Chinese and Western methods. I don't know if it was taught by his teacher at school, but he lacked some thinking of his own."
Ma Jiang listened to the explanation, scooped up a new spoonful and put it into his mouth. After tasting it for a long time, he admitted that what Xue Yi said did make some sense.
I usually pay attention to the seasonings of onions, ginger, garlic, and coriander when cooking, just because I am worried that some diners will cause unpleasant things due to dietary restrictions.
But the thick soup just now was obviously Western food, so he forgot this rule for a while.
However, Xue Yi could still remember this rule at this time. This caution and professionalism engraved in his bones are enough to explain everything.
After Xue Yi finished speaking briefly, he looked at Su Zifang and said softly: "Cream soup, barely qualified. You have heard the question just now, that's it, I will change it later."
When Su Zi heard the word "qualified", he let out a long sigh of relief. As for "reluctant", he completely forgot about it.
What's wrong with barely passing the exam? That's still qualified!
A score of 60 means passing, a score of 59 means failing!
It's better to pass than to fail!
Look at Mu Fei, now he has to re-make two other dishes, and you can see how tragic it is to fail.
The second dish is Su Zi’s Sanbu Tian.
The same golden yellow plate, decorated with cucumber shreds and cherry slices around the edge, and a smooth and flawless egg pancake in the middle.
"The appearance seems to be okay." Ma Jiang looked at it for a few times, then peeled off a piece with the tip of his chopsticks and served it to Xue Yi.
Plate light, chopstick light, spoon light.
Seeing this state, Xue Yi nodded slightly. Not to mention how it tasted, the heat had reached it. It was not easy to make a standard three-no-stick dish in such a short period of time.
After finishing the dish, Xue Yi looked more satisfied than before.
"tasty."
Ma Jiang also finished tasting and nodded in agreement with Xue Yi's statement: "The fusion of egg and gravy tastes very good. It is smooth, tender and sweet but not greasy. It is obviously a heavy oily food, but after eating, only the fat on the bottom of the plate is left.
Handled very well.”
"But lard is not used, so it looks lighter."
After the two of them finished talking, Ma Jiang looked at Su Zifang: "Why didn't you use lard? The flavor is weaker."
"The lard is too greasy, so Master is not suitable for eating it," Su Zi replied calmly.
Ma Jiang looked at Xue Yi beside him and found that the smile on his face became more obvious.
Sighing loudly.
Maybe this is the daily routine of dog licking. Unintentional licking can reach a high level, which makes Ma Jiang feel ashamed.
"Let's take the next course."
Xue Yi looked at the black pepper beef cubes, a work that Su Zi had overturned twice, and slowly said: "What's going on?"
“I wanted to innovate the first time, but I didn’t check the pot the second time.”
Su Zifang answered truthfully.
An expression that I knew flashed across Xue Yi's face and he shook his head slightly: "Be careful next time and don't make small moves on important occasions."
Su Zifang quickly agreed.
The beef cubes were not too big, and the two of them could taste it after chewing it for a few bites. They put down their chopsticks and frowned.
"Tell me, why did you change it like this?"
Su Zifang didn't know whether the two of them thought it was delicious or not. He hesitated a little and his eyes fell on the plate.
[A very creative black pepper beef cubes, grade A.]
"There should be no problem with the judgment given by the system. Master and the others probably don't think it tastes bad, so..."
In the room of lightning and flint, Su Zi's brain started to spin rapidly and then he slowly opened his mouth.
"Last time I went to the cafeteria of Jingling University, I saw Master Chi working on a dish of Qin pepper beef cubes. I helped with some suggestions and he was quite satisfied."
"During the live broadcast with Yang Mo before, his flaming hands were pretty good."
"So when I made it just now, I consciously wanted to combine the advantages of the two of them to make a dish that is both ornamental and delicious. I didn't expect it to fail."
"Later, it was changed to the normal method, but the seasoning is still based on Qinjiao beef cubes."
"This black pepper beef cubes is actually the 'black' of black pepper and the 'chili' of chili powder. The spiciness is also made with compound chili powder with a stronger aroma, which will give diners a refreshing feeling."
After Su Zifang finished explaining, Ma Jiang and Xue Yi nodded: "Yes, passed."
Su Zifang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this basically meant that he could obtain the qualification of a senior chef, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
But the next second, Xue Yi's voice was heard.
"In order to ensure that you all have enough exercise before the exam, we will organize such an exam once a day."
Su Zifang:!!!
He thought that the success just now was a gold medal to avoid death, but he didn't expect that it was just a 24-hour truce.
Sighing slightly, a bit of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"By the way, if you fail the test tonight, you can continue tomorrow. Others will do three steps, and you will do five." Xue Yi looked at Mu Fei and warned again.
Not far away, Mu Fei's hand holding the spatula suddenly loosened and hit the pot with a bang.
This world is so difficult!
Mu Fei looked at Zhao Xiaoman and Su Zifang leisurely.
The two people who could rest safely gave each other pitiful looks.
Due to the examination rules stipulated by Xue Yi, they could not help find out what went wrong. They could only send an encouragement to ask for their blessings.
At this time, Xie Guang suddenly stopped what he was doing.
Patting his sleeves and apron, he slowly stepped forward with the dinner plate in hand.
There is only one bowl and one plate on the plate.
Chapter completed!
