Reborn Little Boss

This year's Spring Festival is at the end of February, so according to the usual practice, the barbecue restaurant is not open yet, and Mu Yang has already gone to the provincial capital to participate in the competition.

Hua Shihui was originally worried that Mu Yang would go out alone, but he acted with these players in the city, and with Liu Qin leading the team, he really couldn't get a spot to follow.In addition to the dormitory matters and the making of new recipes, he could only stay at home and protect Mu Yue by the way.

In Muyang's competition, because Liu Qin had done work for him, he lost the desire to win and was afraid of losing, and his overall condition was relatively good.And according to Mr. Liu, if the famous Long Chef thinks he is pleasing to the eye this time, he can directly apprentice him.At that time, you can learn more about cooking with Mr. Liu, not to mention, there will be recommendations for exams, certifications, and even competitions in the future.This is actually a convenient way to find a backer.Only fools don't want to go this way.

When the game was held, Hua Shihui was more nervous than Lin Muyang who was on the scene.There was supposed to be a meeting of four people, but he checked the time in the middle of the meeting and stopped it on the grounds of being "nervous".Zhang Zhengyi knew the relationship between Hua Shihui and Lin Muyang, so he just smiled.The other two don't know the inside story yet, but they also know that Hua Shihui and Lin Muyang are as good as one person, and this mentality is understandable.Anyway, the new formula has gone through a second test to ensure a six-month shelf life in a sealed case, and now it's just the taste and consistency and some trials in quantitative production.These cannot be resolved by meetings alone.However, since their factory has established its future development direction, to be a sauce and beverage company that focuses on Chinese flavors and flavors, it is far from enough to have these three things at present.Now instead of discussing his black pepper sauce with Niu Dafang, it is better to develop other flavors of seasoning sauce.There are so many dishes in Huaguo Cuisine and their flavors are rich, this is an inexhaustible treasure at all!

Lin Muyang's competition is still three dishes.The first step is still knife work and knife speed.The comparison is not about the dishes, but shredded tofu.The second assessment item is the heat.Baked dishes are very common, candied bananas.The last one is homemade dishes.Among the [-] kinds of ingredients given by the organizing committee, each person chooses up to [-] kinds of ingredients for cooking.Then comprehensive skills, taste, presentation, nutrition and other major aspects to make the final score.It can be said that the last self-invention is the key point of this competition, especially those who are not in good condition after the first two competitions, they are all very nervous.

However, there are limitations in the selection of ingredients.You must use as many items as you choose, and if you take ten items and use nine items, it will be considered a violation and no points will be scored.The game time is limited.An hour does not allow them to cook slow-work dishes.So when choosing the ingredients, the contestants are already asked to outline in their minds what they are going to do.It can also be regarded as a test of everyone's quick wits.

Lin Muyang's scores in the first two tests are not high, they are only at the middle level.He began to feel a little nervous when he finished the knife competition.However, after receiving Teacher Liu's gaze, he took a deep breath and gradually adjusted his mentality.On the contrary, the score of shredded banana is higher than that of knife work.But it still doesn't stand out.As for the last homemade dish, he also knew that he really missed the top ten as Mr. Liu said. Kind of a stove.As for whether Long Chu would think highly of him, he no longer cared about it.

This homemade dish made by Mu Yang only uses four kinds of raw materials.Winter melon, chicken pipa legs, fresh ginger and soaked scallops.He named this dish "Baiyu Pull Finger", which is a pictographic steamed dish.

In fact, it is just winter melon.Make ten half-shaped hollow cylinders out of wax gourd meat.Pipa legs are cut into small pieces and boiled with shredded ginger and scallops for half an hour to make fresh soup.Finally, put the hollow wax gourd meat into the deep dish, pour the fresh soup into the deep dish, and then steam it for 10 minutes.Mu Yang also used this time to carve a few green cirrus patterns with the wax gourd skin.After the winter melon is fully steamed, pour the fresh soup in the plate into the pot to make a crystal gravy, and finally pour it on the prepared winter melon meat.Then put the wax gourd rind moiré on the plate.A simple but ancient charm of "white jade paper" is completed.

Eleven fingers and 22 moirés were transferred to eleven small plates, each of which contained only a pictographic finger made of wax gourd.But from a visual point of view, this dish is very eye-catching both in color and presentation.The color is refreshing and elegant, and the combination of the filter of the melon rind and the whiteness of the flesh makes people feel very comfortable.When Mu Yang's favorite cloud patterns were placed, at least six of the ten judges showed satisfied smiles.Apart from other things, just this appearance is very popular.

Liu Qin was also very satisfied with Mu Yang's performance on the spot, and he gave a thumbs up to Mu Yang, who was already done.This made Mu Yang smile, at least the teacher wasn't disappointed, that's good.

In this competition, whoever first signals that it is ready will be the first to taste it.Lin Muyang's performance is not the fastest, and he is almost at the end, but in fact, there are not many players who have actually completed it.Everyone is very attentive to the last dish, it really can't wait for it to be carefully crafted.Each of the ten judges picked up a small plate, smelled it, looked at its shape, and finally tasted it.I have to admit that Mu Yang's dish is full of umami, but it's too full of umami.So one of the judges, who looked a bit fierce with a bald head in his 50s, directly criticized: "The idea is not bad. Thinking of this method in such a short time proves that there is still a bit of talent. But the taste is too strong, and the winter melon The fresh fragrance was taken away. This also affected the light and elegant beauty of the whole dish. Moreover, the steaming time was too long, which made the finished product too soft and did not reflect the texture that jade should have."

Mu Yang was not disappointed, but bowed humbly: "Thank you for your guidance, teacher judge."

At this time, a female judge in her 40s expressed a different opinion: "Whether the taste is strong or light is a matter of personal preference. I think this white jade finger is very good. Although the fragrance of winter melon was covered when I first tasted it A little, but the aftertaste is still very strong. Young man, you have a bright future in the future, and work hard in the future!"

Someone praised Mu Yang, of course he was happy, but he still just bowed and thanked: "Thank you, teacher judge, I will continue to hone my cooking skills and study hard."

Another judge spoke: "Young man, others made ten servings and gave us ten judges. You made an extra dish to keep for yourself?"

Mu Yang shook his head: "No. Because I know that I haven't learned cooking for a long time, and even if I try my best, I may not be able to enter the top ten. So when I made this dish, I wanted to thank you all the time. Teacher Liu who taught me. It is he who gave me the opportunity to participate in the study. Since I am not capable of getting a good ranking, at least I have to repay the teacher's education in my own way. So this No.11 disc is given to Teacher Liu's. This...doesn't violate the rules, does it?"

The judge froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile on his face: "Of course it doesn't violate the rules. What a good boy."

At the end of the competition, Mu Yang did not enter the top ten, but he ranked No.13, which was already higher than what Liu Qin and Mu Yang expected before.And Quhua City came out fifth and eighth.This is already a big victory considering that only the top ten places in the more than a dozen cities in the province are allowed to enter the national finals.What's more, the names of the few people who came to Quhua City this time are all in the front.

After the results were announced, Mu Yang was overjoyed.Immediately dialed Hua Shihui's number.

Second Young Master Hua on the other end of the phone was full of worry, he was out of luck with himself this afternoon.He used to be able to lie in ambush in the bushes for two days without moving, but now when he thinks that Yang Yang is competing and it has something as important as apprenticeship involved, he gets all sorts of nervous.It is not too much to use the metaphor of scratching one's head and scratching one's head.When the phone rang, he picked it up immediately. "Competition is over? After so long, are you tired?"

There was a smile on Mu Yang's face, although the person on the other end of the phone couldn't see it, but his tone of voice could bring out his mood. "I'm not tired. After the competition, I got No. 13 in the total score, and the ranking is much, much better than expected!"

"I knew our Yangyang family was the best! After just over a year of professional courses, I can get No.13 in the whole province. If I study for a few more years in the future, I will definitely be a master! I am so lucky!"

Goosebumps all over Hua Shihui's words, Mu Yang couldn't help shivering: "You are really enough. I guess I won't be able to go back until the day after tomorrow, and you don't have to pick me up at the train station. Home. Buy the ingredients and go back to make you the dish I made today."

"Send it off, follow it, follow it, pick it up? I've been left out in the cold. Yangyang, I need spiritual comfort."

"Isn't it comforting to give you a taste of my homemade dishes? Don't make trouble, I have to call my sister. Then there will be a gathering over there. I don't want to miss this rare learning opportunity."

Just as Mu Yang hung up the phone, Liu Qin's voice came to his ears. "Mu Yang, are you calling Hua Shihui?"

Being caught on the phone by the teacher, Mu Yang's face changed slightly. "Yeah. He cares more about grades than I do, so I'll call to save him from worrying. Are we going to gather and take pictures now?"

Liu Qin shook his head: "Not yet. I took you to see my master. He is very satisfied with your performance today. You really lived up to my expectations. You performed very well and performed supernormally!"

Hearing that he was going to see Long Chef, Mu Yang's eyes lit up immediately: "Really? I don't even know which Master Long is. I'm completely relieved when you say that, at least I didn't embarrass you."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. You have a good understanding, strong hands-on ability, and good talent. What you lack is actually basic skills and knowledge. I will give you everything in the future."

Hearing this, Lin Muyang immediately realized that Mr. Liu could really accept him as an apprentice.This means that Dragon Chef is not usually very satisfied, but satisfied enough to allow himself to be qualified to enter the teacher's school! "Mr. Liu, I... can I be a teacher now?"

Liu Qin nodded with a smile: "Silly boy, of course it's fine. Let's go, I'll take you to see your master right now."

Mu Yang didn't expect Long Chef to be the bald chef who criticized him as soon as he came up, which made him a little afraid of this future master.

However, Chef Long, who had let go of his identity as a judge, showed a smile, stretched out his big hand and patted Mu Yang's shoulder, and praised: "Good boy. As long as you can still think of your master's teachings at critical moments, you will be grateful if you know how to be grateful." Better than those who only know how to chase fame and fortune. Xiao Wu is right, I recognize you as a disciple. Hurry up tomorrow to pick an auspicious day to formally apprentice, and I will go to Quhua to drink your tea that was introduced. But in the future If you come under my sect, you won’t be able to achieve such results in competitions. It would be a shame if my grandson of Dragon Chef didn’t finish in the top three in all the provincial competitions!”

The corner of Liu Qin's mouth twitched: "Master, you don't have the ability to talk like this. How long has Mu Yang been studying? At most, it's a year and a half of professional courses."

"That's not because you, a teacher, didn't teach well! Come on, we're going to gather outside soon. If you talk to me again, someone should make irresponsible remarks. Boy, study hard in the future, your master is my most proud apprentice, You are now his only apprentice, and I will not forgive you if you don’t become a famous chef in the future!"
