"I'm sorry!" Li Lanxin took off her apron, turned around, and walked out of the kitchen." I'm still far from it."
Everyone sighed as they watched her leave.
The second person to serve the dishes was Yi Dahai, the chef of Ancient Heart Lane. Yi Dahai was a rough-looking man, but he was holding a very delicate porcelain plate in his hand. The plate was covered with a stainless steel cover to keep it warm.
However, such a small plate looked even more pocket-sized in Yi Dahai's hands.
"Come on! Try my cooking!" Yi Dahai looked very confident. As soon as he opened the thermal cover, a burst of hot air spread out and a sizzling sound could be heard.
"It's roasted meat!"
Someone in the crowd said.
The Gu Xin Fang where Yi Dahai was located was a high-end barbecue restaurant. Due to the freshness of the meat and the perfect heat, it was well received. It was not unusual for him to take out roasted meat here.
However, due to the limited ingredients, he could not get high-end steak and pork chops, so he made grilled fish.
It was just that it was completely different from the usual fish grill on the market, sprinkled with a variety of sauces, and the way the fire was lit at the bottom. There were only a few pieces of grilled fish, and the color was golden and tempting. It was decorated with rose petals, making it look very beautiful.
He did not expect such a burly man to cook such exquisite dishes.
This time, Yu Shanming picked up his chopsticks and picked up a small piece of grilled fish. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
"Yes." Yu Shanming closed his eyes and nodded slightly."I only took the fattest/most beautiful piece of the fish from the abdomen. After grilling it on the iron plate, I put it on the fire to quickly roast it and season it.
It looked very simple, but it was actually a dish that required skill. Because the roasting time was a little longer, it would cause the water content of the fish to lose. In this regard, he had done a pretty good job.
Upon hearing Yu Shan Ming's comment, Yi Dahai's face revealed a trace of joy. He even turned his head and arrogantly glanced at the crowd. His expression seemed to be saying, Look! Even such a strict Yu Shanming
" But..." However, Yu Shanming's words suddenly changed." It still won't work.”
"Eh? Why?" The big guy's face, which had already revealed a victorious expression, immediately turned bitter." Didn't you say it was not bad? Why?"
"It's not bad. In order to preserve the fragrance of the charcoal barbecue, you specially used wood, right? However…" Yu Shanming picked up a piece of fish and waved it in front of him." Have you checked the wood you used to roast meat?"”
"What do you mean? Is there a problem?" Yi Dahai did not understand.
"You used pine and cypress wood directly, right? You'll know when you see it often." As he spoke, Yu Shan Ming placed the piece of roasted meat into Yi Dahai's mouth.
"I didn't ask…Hmm?" Yi Dahai's expression became a little strange after chewing the fish meat a few times.
"Did you notice? After all, the wood in autumn was still wet. In addition, the pine and cypress wood that easily produced excessive smoke would cause the smoky taste of this dish to overshadow the freshness of the fish itself.”Yu Shanming said slowly," As the head chef of a high-end restaurant, there's nothing to be proud of if you only know how to cook some daily dishes step by step. Do you understand?”
After he finished speaking, Yu Shan Ming's gaze was no longer on Yi Dahai, but on the others in front of him."Next."
"I don't understand! Even if I used wet wood, the ones who really ate were still ordinary customers. They would not be able to tell such a subtle difference!”Yi Dahai wanted to argue again.
"You…really think so?" Yu Shan Ming's gaze suddenly became extremely cold.
" I…" Yi Dahai did not know what he had said wrong, but he knew that it was better not to speak at this time.
"You really have the mentality of a third-rate chef! I suggest that you don't participate in the competition for the next three years!”As he spoke, Yu Shan Ming had already taken out a pen and put a cross behind Yi Dahai's name on the score sheet. He also marked the words " banned for three years."
"You!" Yi Dahai seemed to be filled with resentment, but he tried his best to control it. He knew that he couldn't vent it here, so he could only divert his anger. He tore off his apron and threw it on his kitchen seat before leaving.
Two people were eliminated in a row!
This fiery scene made the remaining people look at each other and become cautious. Even some people who were originally confident became a little nervous.
Bai Xian had been observing Yu Shan Ming and found that this person was quite interesting. He didn't seem to be eating the dish itself, but was savoring the chef's attitude towards the food in his hand. For example, was the smoking done with wet pine and cypress wood much worse than dry wood chips?
In fact, it was not the case. Just as the big guy said, the real customers were just ordinary people. It was difficult to distinguish such subtle differences.
However, as a first-class chef, he could totally think of cutting the wood into small pieces and drying them before roasting them. He probably didn't do that because he thought that the customers wouldn't be able to taste it anyway, so there was no need to be so refined.
This might not have much of an impact on the dish itself, but it had lost the spirit of pursuing perfection that a first-class chef should have.
Bai Xian was slightly more familiar with the next person who served the dishes. It was the head chef of the five-star hotpot restaurant in Ba Shu, Li Tiantian.
She carefully placed a small clay pot in front of Yu Shanming, then opened the lid and said,"Please enjoy."
As soon as the lid was lifted, an alluring spicy smell immediately entered their nostrils, causing them to drool.
"This is hotpot? That's true. You're the head chef of a hotpot restaurant. What else can you do if you don't cook hotpot?”Yu Shan Ming's expression actually showed a trace of annoyance." Can't you guys make something interesting? How about this! I've added a new rule at the last minute. Anyone who cooks their own signature dishes shouldn't show it to me. Just pack up and go home! As for the rest, if you feel confident, bring them up.”
"Eh? " Then my…" Li Tiantian was stunned," Then my dish…"
"No, I can't! Close! Ge!"
In the afternoon, I'll go to my relatives 'house in another city for two days. I'll be on the train at night and update the third update depending on the situation. I'll also be on the train the whole day tomorrow. If there's no internet on the train, I'll update tomorrow when I reach the place at night.
