Chapter 406 Better than a super chef
Gesen was surprised and couldn't help but remind Wang Lun: "Mr. Wang, I can see that this competition is of great significance. Are you sure you really have to go into battle by yourself?"
As a standard gentleman, he didn't want to win his own hotel too hard. Wang Lun smiled and nodded, saying that he had made such a decision.
Yang Jizhong had no choice but to do so. Wang Lun insisted on doing this, but he had no choice.
Luo Weirui deliberately smiled and said, "If Mr. Wang wants to do this, wouldn't it be too boring for me to beat Mr. Wang?"
Seeing the other party mocking, Wang Lun counterattacked: "Will that go with Manager Luo's intention? The initiative in the negotiation of price can be controlled by Manager Luo. If Manager Luo thinks it is boring, what if we don't compete?"
Luo Weirui could not let the cooked duck fly away, and he said, "You see, you have prepared everything, so let's compete."
Wang Lun smiled.
Luo Weirui ordered a famous chef directly and said, "Now there are three vegetables: eggplant, chili and green beans. I suggest making a dish of green beans stir-fried green beans. The seasonings are the same, and the kitchen utensils are the same. If Mr. Wang has no objection, he can start."
"Okay." Wang Lun took the chef's clothes and put them on.
Wang Lun has made fried green beans more than a dozen times at home. The steps are clear, and at least he can cook this dish.
As for the temperature, the dosage of seasonings, etc., which directly test the chef's skills, Wang Lun knew that in everyone's eyes, this was definitely his disadvantage, but he didn't care at all.
Wang Lun stood in front of one of the open kitchen counters, and the table was placed with the required high-quality seasonings. Even water was made of French Evangelion mineral water, while there were only two ingredients, more than a dozen green beans and two green peppers.
Bang bang bang bang.
On the open kitchen counter on the left, the special chef has started cutting green beans. The green beans are cut into strips of the same size and length. The knife skills are very skillful, and just cutting vegetables is pleasing to the eye.
Wang Lun's speed was not that fast. He first washed the green beans and green peppers with water, and then started cutting the green beans.
Wang Lun divided more than a dozen green beans into two groups. After the front ends were aligned, he cut it out with a kitchen knife, and then cut it out with one small piece, then hand it forward, cut it out again with a kitchen knife, and cut it out again with another small piece.
Compared to the superb knife skills of the special chef, Wang Lun's cutting vegetables not only has no aesthetic sense, but also looks very stiff.
Seeing this, Luo Weirui felt that he was stable.
Knife work is a compulsory skill for chefs. If the ingredients are treated with kitchen knives, the better the knife skills, the more they can ensure that the ingredients are suitable for making and the more they can lock in the original flavor of the ingredients.
Wang Lun's knife skills show that he is very ordinary in cooking. He obviously has not worked hard on knife skills and has hardly studied cooking.
At this time, Wang Lun had already put the cut green beans on a plate, then cut the two green peppers into slices, turned on the gas stove, and started to heat the pan.
When the pan is hot, pour a little oil, add the chili peppers, and use a spatula to press. After the skin of the green peppers becomes wrinkled, Wang Lun pushes the green peppers aside, turns on high heat, pour appropriate oil into the pan, pour the green beans in one go, mix them quickly with the green peppers, and stir-fry them together.
Wang Lun was very familiar with this step, and the super chef was faster and was already adding seasonings. The tempting aroma spread to Wang Lun's open kitchen counter.
"alright."
The special chef brought the dish to the table.
Luo Weirui only took a look and then continued to watch Wang Lun's cooking. After all, a special chef could not make a mistake in such a simple dish. However, Wang Lun obviously did not have enough control over the heat when cooking.
When the seasoning was added, Luo Weirui even discovered that Wang Lun only added a little salt, let alone soy sauce, and even MSG.
Yang Jizhong frowned when he saw it.
If the seasoning is used well, it will not conceal the original taste of the ingredients, but can enhance the flavor and freshness. There is no doubt that the super chef makes the seasonings very well when making green pepper fried green beans, but Wang Lun only uses oil and salt, which is a clear judgment.
"I'm fine, too."
Wang Lun lifted the lid and put the green beans that had been simmered in water for a while on a plate. The green beans need to be fried before they can be eaten, which takes a little longer than stir-frying beans.
In terms of time, he was three or four minutes behind the special chef, but there was no time to set this competition. Wang Lun calmly brought the dish of fried green peppers and green beans to the table.
The natural fragrance released from the dish was covered by the aroma emitted by the dish made by the special chef. In addition, Yang Jizhong and others did not seriously use their noses to distinguish the fragrance, and ignored the "scent" in the color, fragrance and smell.
Because at this moment, Yang Jizhong and others are observing the "color" item in the coloring fragrance and smell with their eyes.
I saw that the dish made by a special chef was full of green beans, with oily surface but not greasy, evenly sized, and well-cut chili peppers. After serving, it looked very delicate and made people feel appetizing.
What Wang Lun made was beyond their expectations, and the dishes were actually very good.
Although the size of the green beans is not very consistent and the peppers are also big or small after sliced, the dishes are not black and do not feel like they are piled up together.
What is obviously inferior to the super chef is probably because the surface of the green beans is not oily enough, and it doesn’t seem that it is so easy to attract people’s appetite.
"This chili?"
Yang Jizhong expressed doubts.
"What's wrong?" Gesen asked. He was not a chef. In his opinion, Wang Lun lost in appearance, but he didn't lose much, including this pepper. The gap was in the knife skills.
Luo Weirui also looked at Yang Jizhong. Because only Yang Jizhong is a chef among the three, he has the most say in the evaluation of the dishes.
Yang Jizhong explained his doubts and said, "I remember when Mr. Wang stir-frying the peppers alone, he stir-frying the pepper skin to the point of wrinkling, but you can take a look now."
Luo Weirui and Gesen looked over and found that the chopped peppers had a round skin and no signs of wrinkle at all.
"Is the skin of this chili still very elastic? Is it easy to deform even if it is stir-fried over high heat?" Gesen was completely messy.
Although he has never been a chef, he has also served in the kitchen. Naturally, he knows that after the peppers are stir-fried, the skin will wrinkle and the traces left will not be restored.
"Ingredients." Wang Lun saw that they were puzzled by this and spoke.
Only then did the three of them remember that whether it was chili or green beans, Wang Lun used them, they were all top ingredients brought with them. Perhaps, such top ingredients are indeed not ordinary?
Luo Weirui felt a little uneasy when he saw this scene. Why did he look like Wang Lun is about to turn the tables?
"The food is almost cold, you can try it." Wang Lun said.
The key to the competition is the strength of the dish.
Although the appearance or appearance of the dish must have affected the appetite of diners, the appearance of the two dishes is not much different now. The two sides said before that whoever cooks the dish tastes better will win.
"I won't taste it anymore. Manager Yang will just tell the result after tasting it alone."
Luo Weirui said lightly, obviously not taking the dishes made by Wang Lun seriously.
In terms of appearance and fragrance, he has the advantage, and the taste is definitely not to mention. Wang Lun used fewer seasonings, so how can he win the taste?
Yang Jizhong did not refuse, took a pair of chopsticks and first tasted the fried green beans made by the special chef. He tasted the green beans and chili, neither shook his head nor nodded.
"The original flavor of the green beans and chili is retained, which is not bad, and it is the normal level of cooking in our hotel's high-end restaurant."
Yang Jizhong said this.
This means that the super chef performs very normally and has produced the highest level of dishes that represent the InterContinental Hotel in Beijing.
This small dish is definitely very satisfied even if it is given to high-profile officials and nobles with extremely prominent identities.
After hearing Yang Jizhong's evaluation, Luo Weirui couldn't help but deliberately glance at Wang Lun twice and was in a good mood.
After winning, Wang Lun could not deny it in front of Gesen, so he could lower the price of cooperation.
"Does Manager Yang still need to taste Mr. Wang's dish?" Luo Weirui asked deliberately.
It means that Yang Jizhong doesn’t have to taste it anymore, anyway, Wang Lun has no chance of winning.
Yang Jizhong actually thought that the winner was obvious, but he changed his chopsticks and picked up a piece of green beans from Wang Lun's plate of fried green beans and put them in his mouth.
But neither Gesen nor Luo Weirui focused on it, and expected that Yang Jizhong's slightly frowning would definitely happen.
"tasty!"
Yang Jizhong suddenly spoke, which immediately surprised Gesen, Luo Weirui and two super chefs.
Especially the two chefs, who were guided by Yang Jizhong, knew that when Yang Jizhong was evaluating a dish, they rarely made direct comments. The words "not bad" and "pretty" in the evaluation of the taste, mean that Yang Jizhong was satisfied with this dish and the people who made this dish.
But now, the word "delicious" appears.
The special chef who cooked was a little unfair. How could the dishes Wang Lun taste better than his?
"It's delicious? Compared with the other party's?" Gerson asked directly.
Yang Jizhong tasted another piece of chili and picked up another chopsticks to eat the dish. Without any hesitation, he said directly: "Both dishes are excellent, but the dish made by Mr. Wang tastes better."
"Manager Yang, are you right? I will lose if I only evaluate the taste?"
Luo Weirui asked loudly, thinking that the person who lost should be Wang Lun, which is reasonable.
"You will know if you ask General Manager Luo to taste the taste." Yang Jizhong suggested.
"Hmph, Mr. Gerson is here, don't think that the deer is a horse will happen!"
Luo Weirui said angrily, took a pair of disinfectant chopsticks, picked up a piece of green beans from the dish made by Wang Lun, and planned to chew it randomly, but after chewing it for the first time, Luo Weirui widened his eyes.
"Manager Luo, the dish tastes very good?" Gesen couldn't help asking. If it weren't for the good taste, Luo Weirui wouldn't have had this expression.
"This..." Luo Weirui blushed. He knew what the dish provided by his hotel tasted. After comparison, he actually had an answer, but he was very embarrassed because the loser was him.
After tasting it one after another, Gesen agreed: "The dish made by Mr. Wang is more fragrant and refreshing, and the taste is better than the other party."
Even the president of InterContinental Hotel China said this, and the results of the competition have obviously been confirmed.
"Mr. Wang, I can not talk about anything else. I will guarantee you now that according to Mr. Wang's request, InterContinental Hotel in Beijing will not change the price proposed on the contract." Gerson made a statement directly.
