Chapter 68 [Off topic]

Ma Deliang said: "This dish can be called superior in terms of color, fragrance and shape, but since it is a competition, the first thing to pay attention to is the taste. Putting aside the others, I will taste the taste first." He picked up the spoon and sucked a spoonful of clear soup, savored it carefully, closed his eyes, and looked extremely intoxicated. After a while, he said: "Home duck meat is fat, wild duck meat is lean, and pigeon meat is tender. The delicious taste of the three kinds of poultry is all integrated into a pot of soup, fresh, fragrant and smooth, moistening the throat and promoting saliva. Yingnan's mastery of the heat has reached a perfect level."

Jia Xuegong also tasted the soup and nodded, "I noticed that at the beginning, the English South used the high fire. Only by using the high fire can the fresh flavor of the pigeon and the wild duck be forced out. Then he changed to a slow simmer, simmering three different flavors, the fresh fragrance is folded, and the aftertaste is endless. Every time he tastes it, he can always feel a different flavor."

Xie Yunan nodded repeatedly after tasting it. He thought that the evaluations of the two of them were not exaggerated. Shen Yingnan's three sets of ducks were indeed very skilled. He could make this dish so well at such a young age. He should be considered a leader among the younger generation. Shen Yingnan's strength is indeed better than Mao Qingzhong and Qian Xiaohong, and there are not many surprises that he can win today.

When Qi Cuiting heard that they gave Shen Yingnan such a high evaluation, she felt that she had regained her face. She smiled and nodded, and said softly: "This dish is indeed very accurate. I have eaten this dish made by the old man, and this dish reminds me of that taste again." Qi Cuiting didn't speak easily, and this speech was a very high evaluation, which was equivalent to saying that Shen Yingnan already had the random charm of the Southeast chef god seedlings.

A voice suddenly rang out: "Is the thing he made a duck?"

Everyone looked at the voice speaker. The person who spoke was Su Le. This guy has been in a state of no attention since the beginning of the competition. Seeing that his comments originally belonged to him were ranked behind, everyone went to Shen Yingnan first, and he felt a little unhappy. Everything had to be ruled, and there must be a way to come first and then. Why do you have to disrupt the original order? Although the teacher's wife was destroying the order, it was unbearable. Su Le remembered the main purpose of his visit today, making trouble first and the second in the competition. Hearing that a group of people had such a high evaluation of Shen Yingnan, the kid naturally couldn't hold back. Seeing everyone looking at him, Su Le smiled and said, "I'm just curious. Do you really think that is a duck? Beautiful in shape? Where is the beauty? One body has three heads. When the guests saw this dish, they thought that a monster was brought up and it was lost before they had eaten. What kind of deliciousness is there?"

When Shen Yingnan heard this guy's evaluation of himself, he snorted coldly: "What do you know? A person who doesn't even have a chef's qualification certificate is afraid that he can't even see what three sets of ducks are, right?" He looked down on this kid from the bottom of his heart.

Qi Cuiting started arguing in public when she saw them. Wouldn't it be a joke? Su Le clearly provoked this matter. Qi Cuiting said, "You don't understand the rules? When is it your turn to speak?" It seemed that each of them was fifty-year-old, but when they said this, they stared at Su Le. Qi Cuiting's expression was full of anger. Although this kid smiled, he was just a person who was provoking trouble. Sure enough, what kind of master taught him what kind of apprentice? Zhu Laoer was worried, and his apprentice was not worry-free.

Song Xuan smiled and said, "I think Su Le is right. What three sets of ducks and five sets of ducks are just a name. Since we are talking about winning or losing based on cooking skills, let's go back to the topic."

Qi Cuiting has long listed Song Xuan as a headache-provoking person. I just hope he will never talk today. Unfortunately, Song Xuan did not fulfill her wish and began to sing a stage drama at the critical moment.

Although Qi Cuiting was unhappy, she still seemed very polite on the surface: "What are Mr. Song's opinions?"

Song Xuan said: "Today's proposition is ducks. It's true that these three sets of ducks have ducks. One domestic duck and one wild duck have one more duck than others. There is a pigeon hidden in its belly. From this point of view, it's a bit off topic. Others use one duck as the main ingredient. You use three times more ingredients than others. Today's cooking competition is the cooking skills or the quantity? If anyone uses the most ducks, who can get the first place, then wouldn't he be able to get the first place by making a big iron pot and boiling ten ducks in water? "

Shen Yingnan realized that Song Xuan had targeted him from the moment he spoke, and he couldn't act too arrogantly in front of everyone, and still maintained a humble attitude: "Mr. Song, these three sets of ducks are famous dishes in Huaiyang."

Song Xuan said: "When I was eating three sets of ducks, you haven't tied all your hair yet, so you don't need to teach me." Shen Yingnan's face turned red with shame.

Jia Xuegong rescued Shen Yingnan and said, "How about Mr. Song savoring the soup?" What is really convincing is the quality of the dish. Jia Xuegong believes that Shen Yingnan's three sets of ducks really grasp the essence of the dish.

Song Xuan picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup, and also smashed the mouth like others, saying, "Three sets of ducks, but that's it."

Jia Xuegong said: "It's good to be able to achieve such a level at such an age."

Song Xuan said: "Although I have little understanding of cooking skills, I also know that when a truly skilled chef cooks, they must first respect the original taste of the ingredients. The cooking process is to use knife skills, heat, and all the processing methods you may have to maximize the natural deliciousness of the ingredients themselves, rather than deliberately changing them. The reason why auxiliary ingredients are called auxiliary ingredients is that they exist to set off the main ingredients, rather than to overestimate the main things."

Song Xuan's words made Qi Cuiting look at him with admiration. She didn't expect that Song Xuan had such a deep understanding of cooking. Even Xie Yunan, who was hostile to Song Xuan in his heart, could not help but nod at this time. Although what Song Xuan said was just a simple truth, it was an essence that most chefs could not truly understand and master in their entire lives.

Song Xuan said: "If I hadn't seen this dish, it would be hard for me to close my eyes to imagine that the soup was cooked together by several ingredients."

Ma Deliang said: "The characteristics of the three sets of duck are that the taste is integrated and the fresh fragrance is mixed. First taste one taste, and then taste another taste, as if climbing a mountain. There is a mountain behind a mountain. One mountain is higher than another. The taste is endless and the flow is long and the flow is long."

Song Xuan said: "What about the original taste? You are still the chairman of the Nanwu Catering Federation. You don't even understand the simplest principles. The same is true for cooking. It is simple and timeless. The simpler things are, the more resistant to scrutiny. The seemingly complex and changeable things are just deliberately showing off their gimmicks. What taste does it taste like if you can remember in the end?"

"this……"

Song Xuan's eyes turned to the dish: "Su Le said it well, color, fragrance, smell, shape, this dish seems to be good for experts, but how many of these experts are the real experts? In the eyes of you, the more complex the craftsmanship, the more you can show the level. The more complex and changeable the taste, the more you can show the chef's superb skills. But in fact, the real service group of catering is the common people. In the eyes of ordinary people, what is this duck not a freak? Besides, today's theme is to make duck. What do you do with a pigeon? I see that this dish is completely off topic, and it is zero points off topic!"

The dish carefully prepared by Shen Yingnan was actually worthless by Song Xuan. How could he be convinced? He shouted: "Cooking is about change and innovation. If you think you can only have ducks, that's a big mistake."

Song Xuan smiled and said, "What's wrong with all ducks?" He came to Su Le, reached out to open the lid of the container. There were hot home-cooked braised ducks in the blue and white porcelain pan. Compared with the three sets of ducks, the method of the ducks is naturally not as complicated as that of a set of ducks. It looks like a gap between a noble and a poor man. Song Xuan said, "Did you find the difference between these two dishes together?"

Jia Xuegong only glanced at the braised duck and sneered: "It's just an ordinary braised duck, even a seventy-year-old grandma can make it."
