The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 1266 Chapter 307

"This kind of swinging a knife like a gust of wind makes people feel a kind of suffocation. It really deserves to be the first pavilion of the Oriental Academy." Yang Ying couldn't help but said when she saw Que Zhengqing preparing the minced meat.

As the head chef of Chunmu Restaurant, Yang Ying has seen too many young chefs, but none of them is like Que Zhengqing, who seems to gather all the strength of the whole body in his hands.

Talent is very important for a chef to achieve in the future.

If a chef has no talent but is willing to work hard, then becoming an excellent chef is his ultimate ability.However, hard work is not enough to become a top chef, talent is also required.

To enter the Oriental Academy, only hard work or talent is enough, but if you want to become the Shouge, it is very difficult to do it without talent and hard work.

Que Zhengqing is such a representative.

As expected of the Oriental Academy, if Que Zhengqing graduates, there must be a large number of top restaurants offering olive branches to him.

Thinking of this, Yang Ying is also a little ready to move, and wants to spend a lot of money to lure Que Zhengqing over, but her restaurant is a Cantonese restaurant, which makes her a little disappointed.

"Ms. Xiao, the best Cantonese cuisine student in Oriental Academy, how good is he?" Yang Ying rubbed her hands and looked at Xiao Han expectantly.

"It's far away. No matter what Que Zhengqing says, he will reach his level. It will take a lot of effort for other students to catch up with him."

Xiao Han's eyes have been staring at Zheng Ke, trying to see some clues from his operations.Therefore, even if Yang Ying said so, he still didn't have any intention of taking a look at Que Zhengqing.

As Que Zhengqing's teacher, he is very aware of Que Zhengqing's strength and the level of dishes Que Zhengqing can cook.

In comparison, he was more concerned about what kind of Western food Zheng Ke could make.

Hearing Xiao Han's words, Yang Ying nodded again and again.

As a chef who can use the "realm", Que Zhengqing almost booked a position as a first-class super chef.

What a pity, why doesn’t Cantonese cuisine have such a contestant?
Yang Ying struggled to look away and looked at Luke next to Que Zhengqing, and then she was attracted by Luke's operation.

Luke squeezed out the water from the softened gelatin and put it in the pot that had just been removed from the heat.He then put the pot in ice water to cool it down.

"Hey...that contestant...he seems to want to cook meat jelly?" Yang Ying whispered.

"That's right. It's aspic." Xiao Han nodded slightly.

"However, if it's meat jelly, it can be cooked in advance, and like broth, some bones are usually added to the pot. These bones can also produce gelatin after a long time of cooking." Yang Ying questioned.

"Maybe it's because he wants a stable aspic? Otherwise, he doesn't need to deliberately make aspic." Xiao Han explained softly.

"Well, on the field, cooking aspic - that means that his dishes need to maintain the form of aspic. However, the topic of this competition is soup, not vegetables. It is difficult to rely solely on aspic. Cook a high-quality soup." Pei Chen said puzzled.

At this time, Xiao Han finally moved his eyes away from Zheng Ke, looked at Luke, and glanced at the ingredients on the operating table, and explained: "What he cooks is soup."

"Eh? Really?" Pei Chen asked in surprise.

"Look at the ingredients he will use. In addition to the jelly, he also prepared milk and cream, as well as a pot of broth, while the other ingredients are only vegetables such as onions and potatoes, and some seasonings. There is no meat in these ingredients, and it is impossible to make an appetizer or main dish just by relying on these two vegetables, so what he wants to cook is only soup." Xiao Han said.

"If it is true as Teacher Xiao said... I still have a question. There is no need for him to make aspic, because the aspic will melt quickly when exposed to heat and eventually dissolve in the soup. And the taste of aspic is different from the broth. In comparison, it doesn't look too outstanding. Then, wouldn't it be completely meaningless for him to do this?" Pei Chen puzzled.

From the current point of view, Luke's operation is contrary to common sense.

Xiao Han also noticed this problem, folded his hands on his chest, frowned slightly, looked at Luke with his eyes, and then moved his eyes to the pot of ice water.

"As far as I know, there is a way to use aspic." Xiao Han pondered for three or four minutes, and finally raised his head and said.

"What way?" Pei Chen asked hastily.

"Reduce the taste of the soup to below the melting point of the jelly." Xiao Han said.

"Below the melting point...the soup will be cold." Yang Ying almost cried out.

"That's right. But no one stipulated that the soup must be hot." Xiao Han explained.

Yang Ying and Pei Chen looked at each other, there are relatively few cold soups in China, if you can have a cold soup from western food, it should be a good choice.

The two took a rough look at the five players, and still felt that Lu Jia and Que Zhengqing were relatively close in strength.

"Mr. Xiao, in this competition, do you prefer Que Zhengqing to win No.1 or other contestants?" Yang Ying asked.

"Que Zhengqing? He has a chance, if he can perform well." Xiao Han said casually.

Yang Ying's expression tightened, she could hear that there were other meanings in Xiao Han's words.

Que Zhengqing had a "chance" to win, and on the premise of a "good" performance.

Is it so difficult to get No.1 in this group?Or is that western player really strong?

Yang Ying frowned and looked at Luke who was working hard to cook the dishes.However, with her eyesight, she could only see that there was no absolute advantage between Que Zhengqing and Luke.

Wait... If Xiao Han cared about a player, then his attention should be focused on that player.

Figured this out, Yang Ying immediately looked at Xiao Han, only to see that Xiao Han's brows were slightly wrinkled at this time, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

She followed Xiao Han's gaze, but found that he was looking at Zheng Ke.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Han turned to look at Yang Ying.

"No...no." Yang Ying shook her head repeatedly, but at this time, she also focused on Zheng Ke.

In the past, Yang Ying believed that the most outstanding young chefs in China were either students from the Oriental Academy, such as Que Zhengqing, Fu Xiuyun and others, or disciples of famous chefs, such as Liu Haolin. In addition, other Chinese contestants were of different levels. It's just average. Especially, this Chinese guy cooked another Western food, and its quality is definitely not as good as Luke's.

It was this mentality that made her rank him behind Que Zhengqing and Luke after taking a second look at Zheng Ke.

Now seeing that Xiao Han pays special attention to Zheng Ke, she also focuses on Zheng Ke.

At this time, Zheng Ke poured the boiled broth into the blender to stir it evenly.

When the broth inside was fully fused with the ingredients, Zheng Ke picked up the soup pot and poured the soup into the filter, so that the broken vegetables remained on the filter, and the delicate broth flowed into the pot below the filter.
