terribly sorry
If He Beibei said that the copycat would beat someone else, Zhao Yue would take it as a matter of course.
But he never expected that instead of showing dissatisfaction, He Beibei asked himself to help. What happened in this world?
Suddenly he looked at Li Xiao's tall back and secretly took a breath. Could it be that his own He Beibei fell in love with the handsome guy doing the live broadcast in front of him?
Does it turn out that he likes this type?
He looked down at his small body and sighed secretly. No wonder no matter how well he did or how devoted he was to her, she would never speak falsely to him.
Zhao Yue's movements were very swift, while Li Xiao was familiar with the layout of the kitchen.
Two small yellow croakers that had been boned, gutted, washed, and drained had appeared in front of Li Xiao.
Li Xiao quickly pulled off the outer layers of baby cabbage leaves, gently pushed the core of the baby cabbage into the belly of the fish, and then put the small yellow croaker into the steamer.
The reason why he has been familiar with it for so long just now is not that the kitchen is too complicated. The most basic thing for a good kitchen is to be concise and clear.
The reason why he wasted so much time was mainly to find two favorite plates and complete all the processes before Li Xiaocai said.
"Most people eat the top part of fish first, and then turn over and eat the lower part after the top part is finished."
"So, I chose a slightly curved plate and adjusted the way I pour the sauce."
"Pour the yellow sauce from the middle of the plate, and the yellow sauce will flow to the lower part of the fish along the curvature of the plate. As long as you control the amount of yellow sauce and find a suitable plate, you can make the yellow sauce only
Cover the lower part of the small yellow croaker."
"Then add only starch to the other half of the chicken juice to make a thick sauce and cover the small yellow croaker. However, this requires more effort. The light-colored thick sauce should not be too little. If it is too little, it will not be able to cover the entire small yellow croaker, which may cause
The taste should be uneven, and the thick juice should not be too much. If it is too much, it will spread at the bottom and affect the appearance of the dish."
While he was talking, he cooked two completely different chicken juices in the pan next to him. One pot was chicken juice with turmeric powder added, and the other was plain chicken juice.
After the two juices were cooked, the timer next to the steamer also beeped. Li Xiao opened the steamer and took out the steamed small yellow croaker in a thick stream of steam.
Gently taking out the small yellow croaker that was no longer dripping and placing it flat on the plate, Li Xiao squatted down and glanced at the angle formed by the bottom of the small yellow croaker and the plate.
Nodding with satisfaction, the angle is very wide and the arc is quite appropriate.
After making sure it was suitable, he used a spoon to slowly pour in the yellow juice with turmeric powder.
After the golden yellow juice under the little yellow croaker formed a nice round shape, Li Xiao began to pour the light yellow yellow juice on the fish. This time he used a smaller spoon to increase controllability. Soon, the fish was covered with
It is also evenly covered with light yellow yellow juice without adding turmeric powder.
Although the yellow juice without adding turmeric powder is lighter in color, when it is poured on the golden yellow croaker, the difference between the two does not seem too obvious.
Seeing Li Xiao doing the cooking in person, everyone's faces became even more confused. After all, this is their kitchen. What does it mean to perform cooking skills in your own kitchen? This clearly means looking down on everyone. Originally, this is their kitchen.
They were still waiting for their boss to give the order and they would leave immediately.
Although it's been two days now, it seems very bad character to do so.
But if He Beibei said he was leaving, they might be able to barely make a living here if they didn't follow, but whether they could find a new boss in the future would become a problem.
What made them dumbfounded was that He Beibei had a serious look on his face and stood intently next to the anchor who came to ruin the scene.
Their eyes fell on He Beibei's hand, which was empty and did not hold a knife that could cut the opponent's throat.
Looking up, He Beibei showed no displeasure on his face, nor did his eyes fall on any sharp kitchen utensils.
Everyone looked at each other and began to suspect that their chef was possessed by some evil spirit.
At this time, Zhao Yue had already finished her work, and left He Beibei with a look of despair on her face, returning to the other chefs.
Seeing the strange expression on Zhao Yue's face, a chef who was familiar with him came up to him, touched him with his elbow, and asked in a low voice
"Why is Sous Chef Zhao looking like this? What is going on over there? Why don't you stay over there and take a look??"
You know, the other sous chef Song Peiyuan is still watching there intently, but why does this one come back lifeless?
Could it be that the deboning step was not done well and someone scolded me?
It's impossible, Zhao Yue is the only two-star chef in the back kitchen, so it's impossible to make mistakes when handling small yellow croakers.
When Zhao Yue heard the other party's question, she raised her drooped eyelids and looked at He Beibei and Li Xiao. Suddenly, her heart, which had calmed down, felt like someone had stabbed her several times.
At this time, He Beibei's eyes were almost filled with stars. Although Li Xiao's operation was very simple, even if a layman came to watch, he would think that Li Xiao didn't have any cooking skills. After all, during this process, Li Xiao
Xiao didn't use any fancy techniques.
However, both of his parents are five-star senior chefs, but He Beibei clearly understands that the simpler the operation, the better it can reflect a chef's skills.
After all, great skill is unfair, and a heavy sword has no edge.
If a chef who is just starting out learns techniques, and a chef who has already started is familiar with techniques, then a one-star senior chef starts to use techniques flexibly.
Like myself, after being selected to become a senior chef.
Two-star, three-star, and four-star chefs will begin to creatively pursue more dazzling techniques and more complex and varied techniques. After all, they have already mastered some old techniques skillfully.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They need to master more updated skills to make breakthroughs, but once they reach 5 stars, 6 stars, or 7 stars.
Instead, their craftsmanship has become simpler. They no longer pursue complicated and dazzling techniques, but use simpler cooking techniques to make food delicious.
Because they are now able to use most of the techniques flexibly, they are already very knowledgeable about food.
They know exactly what to do to make the food taste better
That's why He Beibei's mother likes to not process the oysters in any way, and only adds black vinegar juice and lemon juice after washing them.
Because he clearly understands that such a simple expression can best present the delicious taste of a fresh oyster.
Although she can use various techniques to increase its flavor, such as tempura, stewing in oil, braising, and baking, it is also possible that the inosinic acid in the oysters will be denatured due to the extended production time.
As a result, the original umami flavor of 10 points was reduced to only 7 or 8 points.
"Okay, Chef He, can you give it a try?"
While talking, Li Xiao handed over a pair of chopsticks.
He Beibei quickly broke away from his random thoughts and looked at the two [Steamed Fish with Yellow Sauce] in front of him, with a little frustration on his face.
You must know that she is already 28 this year and will be 30 in two years. However, the Li Xiao in front of her, who is obviously more skilled than herself, is only in her early 20s.
She has always believed that her talent in cooking is excellent, and she has been taught by famous teachers since she was a child, and her progress has been rapid.
She has become a talented girl in the cooking world in many people's mouths, and her past experiences have also verified this.
At the age of 20, he successfully graduated from the Citi Red Belt Culinary Institute, returned to the Republic of China, participated in the most difficult senior chef competition in the world, and became a one-star senior chef in the Republic of China.
After that, he won multiple first prizes in one-star senior chef competitions in different countries. Such impressive achievements also made her feel arrogant and arrogant.
After winning the title of one-star senior chef, He Beibei did not slack off and successfully won the title of two-star and three-star senior chef at the age of 22 and 23 respectively.
For a time, He Beibei was like a rising star, unparalleled in the chef world.
The reputation is even far better than that of many four- and five-star veteran chefs.
After all, being promoted one level a year is too terrifying. Many people think that He Beibei may even challenge for six stars before the age of 30.
The reason why it is six-star rather than a higher level is because six-star chefs are actually quite rare in the Han Dynasty.
The total number of 6-star chefs in Dahan is only over 300, so it’s no exaggeration to say that they are all rare.
Moreover, the selection of 6-star senior chefs is no longer a large-scale selection, but requires application.
Five-star chefs need to apply for certification from the Chefs Association, and the Chefs Association will issue judge invitations to all six-star chefs.
The application and promotion process for five-star chefs will not begin until at least 10 six-star chefs accept the invitation.
Each judge can ask a specific question, and chefs applying for promotion to six stars need to complete these 10 specific questions.
Every time a project is completed, 10 judges will give a score, ranging from low to high from 1 to 10. After removing the highest and lowest scores, the average score needs to be above 8 to be considered qualified.
Of course, you don’t need to pass all the items, you only need to pass 8 of them.,
So in everyone's mind, even a genius like He Beibei is like a superstar.
Faced with a wide variety of projects, it also takes a certain amount of time to accumulate before you have a chance to become a 6-star super chef.
Of course, He Beibei didn't think so at the time.
In her mind, she can advance to a level in one year.
You can successfully be promoted to 4 stars at the age of 24, and you can be promoted to 5 stars at the age of 25. How could you waste 5 years before being promoted to 6 stars?
However, the reality was far crueler than she imagined. After she was promoted to 3-star at the age of 23, she...
The 24-year-old lost the promotion match by a small margin and missed the chance to be promoted to 4 stars.
However, even if she failed in promotion, it did not affect her reputation as a genius.
After all, she was only 24 years old at the time, which was still too young. Many people thought that she was too aggressive and impetuous, so she lost. And even if she lost, the gap with her opponent was quite small.
Of course, as the person involved, she also thought that she was just unlucky or temporarily underestimated her opponent, which led to the failure.
However, this failure in promotion is like the beginning of a nightmare, 25 years old, 26 years old, 27 years old, 28 years old.
The next four promotions all failed. Everyone discovered that this girl, who was known as a genius, had made very little progress over the years, and even showed signs of regression in recent years.
He Beibei, who lost his aura of genius, became more radical and impatient in his work, and could not listen to any opinions.
Even this year, when discussing the menu with shareholders, there was a fierce conflict, and he even did something as bad as resigning directly.
He Beibei has actually thought a lot during the past few months of confinement. When she calms down and thinks about it, maybe she is not a genius girl after all.
Most of her current achievements are only due to the subtle influence of her parents, which makes her a few steps faster than others.
However, the public's encouragement made her believe this nonsense.
As a result, I have been arrogant and arrogant for so many years, and my opinions from men have always turned a deaf ear. After all, as a genius, why do I need to care about other people's opinions?
If their opinions are inconsistent with their own, it must be that they are wrong, not you.
After all, he is a genius, and they are just a group of mediocre wastes. Why can they give guidance to him???
Even when she meets some chefs with a higher star rating than herself and gives her advice, her attitude is only superficially respectful.
Thinking about it secretly, if you were promoted to four stars at a young age, what qualifications does a five-star have to give you guidance?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was just a moment of failure and carelessness that led to frequent defeats.
However, the long period of grounding and separation from those who gathered around her to flatter her gave her finally time to calm down and review her life over the past few years.
She finally understood that she had really missed too much, the guidance of her parents, the guidance of chefs of the same level whom her parents hired at the expense of their parents.
They were all rejected by themselves. Not only did they not make progress, but they became complacent and even began to lose touch with the times.
Her long-term complacency prevented her from discovering her own problems.
After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to start over. He gathered the original kitchen team and, under the arrangement of her father, came to a new restaurant to start her new life.
Even the menu was made after consultation between his parents and the three of her. She would never have given up such an important right before.
She originally thought that the so-called genius really didn't exist, but only watched more, learned more and practiced more. However, when she saw Li Xiao cooking so calmly.
She finally understood that it was not that there were no geniuses in the world, but that she was really not a genius.
The last trace of fantasy in my heart was finally completely let go, but my mood was more relaxed than ever before. Now I could really go on the road again with ease. As an ordinary chef, an ordinary three-star chef, I started to embark on the journey of learning and progress again.
He Beibei suddenly spoke to Li Xiao
"Thank you."
Li Xiao stiffly retracted the right hand that had just handed out the chopsticks. He didn't quite understand what the other party's thank you meant. Was it to thank him for giving her the chopsticks?
Why are you so polite all of a sudden? Is this a prelude to getting angry? How do you say that, be polite before fighting???
Li Xiao secretly increased his alertness. After all, there were a lot of weapons in the kitchen.
He Beibei took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish dipped in light yellow sauce. His eyes lit up. The yellow sauce made by the other party actually tasted better than his own?
Of course she had tasted the yellow juice without adding turmeric powder, but the one made by the other party was far better than the one she made herself.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, why did this feel so familiar?
By the way, she quickly understood where this sense of familiarity came from.
Isn't this just like using the same materials, the same utensils, and making the same food with my parents at home, but the taste of the finished product is far inferior to that of my parents.
And this is how Li Xiao feels to her now. The chicken juice is obviously cooked in their back kitchen, and they also use the same utensils and seasonings in the back kitchen.
But the finished product is better than what you can make yourself.
Could it be that Li Xiao, who calls himself a food anchor, is actually a 4-star or 5-star senior chef?
As for 6 stars?? She couldn't imagine it at all, because the chefs who could get 6 stars were all well-known in the country.
She had never known that such a young 6-star senior chef had appeared in the industry.
They did not finish the small yellow croaker immediately, but waited for 20 minutes for the small yellow croaker to cool down completely before using their chopsticks.
When you eat the small yellow croaker above, you can already clearly feel the fishy smell in the fish meat. However, after turning the small yellow croaker over and eating the small yellow croaker with golden yellow juice below, the obvious fishy smell is overtaken by the richness.
Suppress the ginger flavor.
The experiment was successful, and everyone showed joy on their faces.
Li Xiao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, the chain was not broken. Otherwise, he would have been very happy if he tried to make adjustments but failed.
Return to your seat and wait for the next few dishes.
The squad leader looked up and down with strange eyes, looking at Li Xiao who had a calm face.
"It seems that the match between you and the so-called Xie Guoyong was not staged but to create momentum. Instead, you really used your own ability to easily defeat him."
Li Xiao was not surprised at all. The other party had checked the replay of his live broadcast.
After all, you need to hire an anchor with an hourly salary of tens of thousands of dollars to help promote it, and you don’t want to find someone to check the other person’s details.
Look at whether this hired anchor has purchased a troll or a robot. He is really stupid.
When the live broadcast starts, there will be 20,000 people online, and 19,000 of them will be robots. It will be funny.
Don't open this store and close it early, otherwise you don't know how you will be cheated.
Li Xiao chuckled lightly and was not complacent. After all, he was just an ordinary food anchor with a little bit of special skills. Besides, he didn't know how to explain where he got these abilities.
Able to speak quietly
"I happened to know something about what he was good at, so I narrowly defeated him."
