Chapter 866 The most suitable dish for the final
After getting a good pot, Jiang Feng became addicted to cooking as if he had discovered a new world. I forgot all about sword skills and soup-making. After completing the most basic daily exercises, I spent most of my time on this dear pot, like a faint king obsessed with beauty, neglecting all the concubines, including Cai Dao, who lives in the back position, only favors Ti Guo, a new concubine.
Of course, describing the iron pot as "three thousand beauties in the harem" is not appropriate, because Jiang Feng not only uses it himself, but also invites everyone to use it together, and everyone who has used it says it is good.
If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be that there is such a stunningly beautiful iron pot in the world.
On the third day after the iron pot entered the back kitchen of Tai Feng House, no less than three people had already gone to persuade Zhang Weiyu to let him resign as soon as possible and go home to learn blacksmithing from his father, so that he could better give back to Tai Feng House.
Zhang Weiyu:? ? ?
Day after day, the date of the competition is getting closer.
Jiang Feng used the rewind function on Wednesday night to re-enter a memory of the Jiang family's old house, and re-watched the process of Jiang Chengde's enlightenment from the beginning. After turning on the time, Chef Arnold and the others had practiced for more than three months, and he felt that his cooking skills had become better. Some.
There are a few more chances to win the championship.
If the original chance of winning was only 80%, it is now 99%.
It’s not that he looks down on Chef Arnold, he just wants to say that everyone here is __.
The staff did not respond to Jiang Feng's remaining tickets within three days as promised on the phone. This may be because the tickets on site were so popular. Jiang Feng didn't care about this matter but Ji Yue did. After all, wherever there was gossip, she was there.
According to Ji Yue, the hundreds of tickets released by the program team on the online platform, the public account, were all sold out in less than ten minutes, and the system even crashed.
Later, the program team had no choice but to temporarily add 80 seats and release 80 tickets that needed to be lotteryd to calm the public outrage. It even made two hot searches in the middle.
It’s not that the program team is stingy and is only willing to add 80 seats. The venue is also very large. If we must add 200 seats, we can also add 200 seats. The program team was mainly worried that Roland would not be able to make two hundred more cakes. No matter how you consider it, making cakes is much more complicated than making porridge.
The program team responded to Jiang Feng on Thursday afternoon.
Although it was several days late, the answer was good, and the program team gave Jiang Feng fifty-three tickets.
According to the staff, the restaurant on the top floor did not ask for a single ticket. Instead, Peng Changping asked for a few tickets. This meant that the first three rows were all Tai Feng Tower support seats. (Yongheju is directly included in the Tai Feng Building cheerleading team) If conditions permit, it is not impossible to hold up a light sign, pull up a banner, and throw a cheering stick.
Fifty-three votes, much more than Jiang Feng expected.
After much thought, the generous capitalist Jiang Feng decided to invite the core backbone of Tai Feng House's back kitchen (the chefs with names) to watch the competition for free. This item is listed as an annual performance appraisal and is directly linked to everyone's year-end bonus.
Not only did he have tickets to invite the core members to watch the game, Jiang Feng even gave two tickets to Liu Qian and He Yueru, inviting all his relatives and friends who did not need to work to witness his winning moment.
At this point, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
Jiang Feng could already smell the fragrance of the championship trophy.
It’s 9pm on Thursday, 37 hours until the final.
Jiang Feng had finished his work for the day and started cleaning the kitchen knives and washing the pots, preparing to pack up and go home.
A few months ago, he might have habitually stayed and helped everyone clean the kitchen, but as his cooking skills gradually increased at a rapid pace, his mentality and strength have become what a head chef should be like. He lived the life a chef should have.
Go home after get off work and never procrastinate.
"Jiang Feng." Jiang Feng was about to happily go home from get off work when he was stopped by Sun Maocai.
"Master Sun, what's the matter?" Jiang Feng stopped, and Wu Minqi beside him also stopped.
"You can come to my house later, around ten o'clock. I have something to discuss with you," Sun Maocai said.
Seeing that Sun Maocai only said this to Jiang Feng without looking at herself, Wu Minqi asked with some uncertainty: "Master Sun, are we all going to your house tonight, or is only Jiang Feng going to your house?"
"Jiang Feng can just come. I want to discuss the final dishes with him." Sun Maocai said.
Wu Minqi understood instantly that the handymen like them should not get involved in the affairs between the chefs. She nodded and left with Jiang Feng.
On the way back, Wu Minqi couldn't help but asked Jiang Feng: "Fengfeng, didn't you discuss the final dishes with Master Sun beforehand?"
"There is no need to discuss." Jiang Feng was also a little confused, "Didn't I say when I announced the rules of the finals before, there are two dishes the same as the semi-finals, no restrictions on subject matter, no restrictions on types, anything can be done. I have already I made an agreement with Master Sun, he will work with me, and each will be responsible for his own work.”
Needless to say, in the top-floor restaurant, Chef Arnold and others must be making the cakes.
"Is there something wrong with Master Sun's dishes?" Wu Minqi made a bold guess.
"That shouldn't be the case. Master Sun has so much experience in competitions. Logically speaking, it's very simple to come up with a final dish. There shouldn't be any problem. We might just discuss the division of labor." Jiang Feng didn't think too much and advised Wu Minqi not to think too much, "No. There is a problem. How could there be a problem with the dishes before the competition? It’s impossible.”
After returning home, Jiang Feng did a simple wash, played with his cell phone for another five minutes and chatted with Wang Hao. Seeing that it was already ten o'clock, he went out and took the elevator to Sun Maocai's house upstairs.
Sun Maocai was simmering radish and pork ribs soup. When he saw Jiang Feng coming, he quickly invited him in and told him to wait a moment. The soup would be ready soon and he could have a bowl.
"Master Sun, why do you have the leisure to make soup tonight?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.
He has been to Sun Maocai's house so many times, and this is the second time he sees Sun Maocai making soup, and the soup he makes is radish and pork ribs.
"Whenever I have something to be happy about or worry about, I always make a pot of radish and pork ribs soup and drink it. This will make me feel much more relaxed, and I will not be overjoyed or sad, nor will I worry too much." Sun Maocai explained. Tao, his expression turned serious instantly.
"I have something to discuss with you."
Jiang Feng suddenly felt that the flag he had just set seemed to come true.
"You shouldn't be..."
"There seems to be something wrong with the dishes I prepared."
Jiang Feng:...
"It's not like there's no competition yet, and the ingredients are all prepared by the program team. How could there be a problem?" Jiang Feng didn't understand.
"I was initially planning to make Taishi Snake Soup in the finals." Sun Maocai began to explain, "Maybe it's been too long since I haven't participated in the competition. I actually forgot that snake is a taboo ingredient in international competitions, especially Taishi Snake Soup. A variety of venomous snakes are also used, and the snakes need to be killed on site.”
"I called and communicated with the program team this afternoon because the last two hours will be broadcast live on the TV station. They suggested that I should not choose this dish, otherwise there may be a lot of trouble." Sun Maocai was also helpless. , if the selected dish is killed in this way, anyone will feel helpless.
Jiang Feng didn't expect that there was such a relationship, and he was a little embarrassed for a moment.
“Can’t you change other dishes?”
"Yes, yes, I called you here tonight because I want to discuss with you which dish is better. After all, our opponent in the final is Chef Arnold. If we use a dish with normal competition difficulty, I'm afraid I might Holding you back." Sun Maocai called Jiang Feng up today to discuss with him.
Sun Maocai gave Jiang Feng a list of six dishes to choose from, three of which Jiang Feng had never eaten before. Sun Maocai gave Jiang Feng a review of the difficulty, time required, advantages and disadvantages of these dishes, and wanted Jiang Feng to help him advise on which dish was better.
Jiang Feng felt that none of them were as good as Taishi Snake Soup.
It's not because of anything else, it's mainly because Taishi Snake Soup is rare. So far, Jiang Feng only knows that Sun Maocai can cook it. The lethality of a single dish in a gourmet competition is definitely nuclear weapons level.
Jiang Feng felt that none of that was good.
Just when he was regretting that such a good dish could not be used in the finals, a unique dish that not only no one knew how to cook, but not many people had even eaten appeared in his mind.
Grass-flavored cabbage.
Golden cabbage.
Jiang Feng has never made this dish since he obtained it, not because of how difficult it is. In terms of difficulty, Jinyu Cabbage is much less difficult than Jiang's Ginseng Soup.
Mainly trouble.
The sea cucumber and abalone soup with cabbage is too much trouble.
A pot of soup takes ten hours to simmer, and seven hours in between are completely inseparable from people. This pot of soup is not like ordinary soup that can be stewed in one pot and can be used for many dishes. Sea cucumber and abalone soup can only be stewed with golden cabbage. The price-performance ratio is too low and takes too long.
It's not suitable for sales, but it's suitable for competitions.
I wonder who in this world can resist the charm of cabbage flavored with grass jelly.
Jiang Feng has the skill of stir-frying cabbage. Now that he owns the legendary golden iron pot produced by Zhang Weiyu's father, he can stir-fry vegetables even more powerfully. If Sun Maocai was willing to spend ten hours simmering a pot of sea cucumber and abalone soup during the competition, Jiang Feng felt that the original 99% calculation could be increased to 99%.
Although sea cucumber and abalone soup is complex, it is not difficult in itself. Jiang Huiqin can make it, not to mention Sun Maocai, whose cooking skills are far better than Jiang Huiqin's, and his skill in handling sea cucumber, abalone and other seafood is better than Jiang Feng's.
What a perfect fit.
This dish is perfect for the finals!
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t done it yet, isn’t there still one day left? Jiang Feng believes that Sun Maocai can master sea cucumber and abalone soup just once, and there will be no problem.
"Master Sun, I thought that there is a dish that the two of us can cook together. The part you are going to finish must be very suitable for you!" Jiang Feng's eyes lit up when he said this.
"Oh? What dish?" Sun Maocai didn't expect that Jiang Feng would have new dishes for this competition, and there were actually two dishes at the bottom of the box.
He can't even take out Doraemon's treasure bag.
"Golden jade cabbage! I'm in charge of the cabbage part, and you're in charge of the soup. This soup is a bit complicated. Please listen to me tell you how to make it. First of all, the ingredients are mainly sea cucumbers and abalone, as well as some other seafood, which are processed cleanly. I need it later..." Jiang Feng began to tell Sun Maocai the specific method of making sea cucumber and abalone soup.
The lecture lasted for half an hour, and Sun Maocai was stunned.
He had never thought that there was such a tormenting soup in the world, and that such a pot of soup was made just to stir-fry cabbage.
As for that, just a cabbage?
Sun Maocai, who had done countless tricks on people, couldn't help but cry out.
"The steps for soup are basically like this. Although it takes a long time and is troublesome, you can definitely hear that it is not very difficult. I believe that as long as you do it again tomorrow, there will be absolutely no problem in doing it during the competition the day after tomorrow, because It’s really not difficult.”
"What do you think? If you think you can try it tomorrow, I'll make this dish during the competition." Jiang Feng asked.
Sun Maocai:......
What does he think? He felt that he had offended Jiang Feng in some way, so Jiang Feng deliberately wanted to make trouble for himself.
"Okay, let's try it tomorrow." Sun Maocai nodded in agreement.
Although he had never heard of or cooked golden jade cabbage, he didn't even know where Jiang Feng learned this unconventional and unique cabbage.
But he believed in Jiang Feng.
Tired, even though he was a little tired, and he was suddenly demoted from chef to helper, but Sun Maocai was very happy.
Anyway, he is destined not to be the protagonist of the final the day after tomorrow, so it is worthwhile to be a stepping stone to send Jiang Feng to a higher place.
He was happy to do so. (End of chapter)
