Chapter 161 We don't want to be rubbed on the ground(1/2)
He Yuzhu left Xiangjiang, but the influence brought by He Yuzhu did not end immediately.
In this turbulent time on both sides of the Xiangjiang River, heroes have emerged in large numbers. Among them, the one with the most widespread influence and the most universal recognition is naturally Inspector Lei Luo.
As Lei Luo's magnet and good brother, He Yuzhu mysteriously came to Xiangjiang. After a competition, he defeated all the heroes and ascended to the throne of Xiangjiang God of Cooking. This is the title of honorary chef personally certified by the Chefs Association.
If you don't have the strength to reach the top, you won't be able to convince those arrogant chefs to get the title of honorary chef.
Because this means that He Yuzhu has truly suppressed the entire Xiangjiang food industry. Without sufficient strength, it would be impossible to obtain this title under such circumstances.
But He Yuzhu really got this title, and he did it in just half a day.
Of course, He Yuzhu, the God of Cooking, is a title that everyone knows, but in the upper class, He Yuzhu, the God of Gambling, is what everyone knows.
Really relying on his strength, he defeated the powerful existence of Tu Yixiao, the God of Gamblers, at Bai Yujing Casino.
For this reason, Tu Yixiao, the God of Gamblers, refused to admit defeat and applied for license closure and verification with two pieces of land worth 180 million. As a result, he lost miserably and smashed his golden right hand, thus truly quitting the gambling world.
The God of Gambling, He Yuzhu, left a profound saying: Only those who don’t gamble are the real God of Gambling.
It is said that the gambling king of the casino heard these words and smashed his favorite white jade ornament worth tens of millions to pieces.
Regarding the Chefs Association, Xu Fuquan is considered a relatively young person. Being able to sit in the decision-making position of the Chefs Association at the age of 50 is already considered a quite remarkable figure.
The current Xiangjiang Chefs Association is basically a relatively loose industry organization. The people who have the right to speak are these three people.
Lao Li, Lao Zhao, and Xu Fuquan.
All three of them are very distinctive. They are relatively fat, with big heads and thick necks. They are either rich men or poor cooks. This makes sense.
Lao Li and Lao Zhao are considered to be the big names in the chef industry in Xiangjiang, and they have deep qualifications and good craftsmanship.
In the chef industry, what I admire most is the craftsmanship. If you have the ability, show it off and you're done.
Lao Li and Lao Zhao are upright people, and the restaurant they own is also famous in Xiangjiang.
Therefore, at this time, the two of them are considered the top and second-in-command in the Chef Industry Association.
Xu Fuquan is able to achieve this position because of his truly amazing craftsmanship and his background.
Xu Fuquan is a chef who cooks for casinos and families, so he also has a certain status in the world. If you don't look at the monk's face, you can see the association. In order to win over Fuquan, you have to give him a
Suitable location.
Of course, Xu Fuquan's craftsmanship is worthy of others' trust, which is why he is able to achieve such a position as one of the speakers of the Chef Industry Association.
Lao Zhao's specialty is Shandong cuisine. I heard a while ago that there is a very good Shandong cuisine cook in Chinatown in the beautiful country. It is said that he is from the Kong family, so he went to compare skills.
So I don’t know much about He Yuzhu’s skills. This time, because he went to compete in skills, he just came back today and didn’t catch up.
So I heard that there was an incident where a man named He Yuzhu came from the mainland and competed with the masters from the Chefs Association. As a result, the Chefs Association lost completely.
Therefore, Lao Zhao, who was already bad-tempered, could no longer suppress his anger.
At this time, Lao Zhao felt a little unhappy and directly called Lao Li and Xu Fuquan over.
In Lao Zhao, it seems that the Chefs Association was defeated by an outsider. How shameless.
So Lao Zhang was very unhappy and said: "Old Zhao, Fuquan, what do you think you two did?
I've only been away for a few days, and the result is that our Chefs Association was defeated by a young man?"
Xu Fuquan spoke more directly. After all, he had a strong backer, so he said without hesitation: "Old Li, actually you were not here. If you were here, you would have to kneel down at that time.
Fortunately you are not here, otherwise the three famous leaders of our Xiangjiang Chefs Association would be directly pushed to the ground and rubbed by a young man. This would be a huge embarrassment."
This was a bit bullying. Lao Zhao said without hesitation: "How is it possible? Am I that bad? I don't believe it anyway.
Fuquan, you are a bit too absolute in what you say. Is his cooking really so good that we can be convinced?
Also, Lao Li, you have personally competed with him, what do you think of his skills, does it really make you willing to admit defeat?"
At this time, Lao Li didn't say much, and just threw a steamed bun over: "Old Zhao, you are the descendant of Shandong cuisine. You should know how to make steamed buns. This steamed bun was made by He Yuzhu today. Try it yourself.
One taste.
If you think you are more capable than him, you can get him back now. I guess he has just arrived in Yangcheng. If you sincerely invite him, you may be able to invite him over again.
The comparison is once.
You must know that these are the steamed buns he made half a day ago. Try it yourself to see if there is any difference between his craftsmanship and yours.
If you think you are better than him and you continue to talk so nonsense in front of me, I will never say anything more."
Lao Zhao was a little shocked at this time, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He knows Lao Li very well. They have been friends for many years, and they will not be easily convinced by others.
Especially in the chef industry, Lao Li has been an apprentice and now a chef. He has accumulated rich experience and exquisite craftsmanship over decades. There are very few people who want to convince him.
Even if you want to convince Lao Li, it will be difficult.
It can be said that except for a few old guys in the chef industry who have retired and cannot hide in Xiangjiang, it is almost impossible for other people to convince me.
But now that Old Zhao saw that Old Li had a feeling of sincerity towards He Yuzhu, he felt awkward in his heart.
Is this young man really that powerful? After taking two bites of the steamed bun, he was speechless and couldn't say anything.
The whole person was stunned. The ordinary steamed buns stimulated the taste buds so much, giving it a long aftertaste.
It's like the smell of hometown when I was a child, in the countryside, with smoke rising from cooking stoves, and my mother steaming buns at home waiting for her son to return.
Steamed buns are one of the most common staple foods in the north. Although they are less commonly eaten in the south, Lao Zhao is a master chef of Shandong cuisine after all. He knows steamed buns very well. It is quite difficult to make steamed buns well.
.
Moreover, it is even more difficult to make the taste of steamed buns made by my mother in my hometown.
That is the depth of memory, a warm taste that will never be forgotten.
As long as the mother is there, there is a home.
Without a mother, life is just a journey back home.
Although steamed buns are so simple, if you basically remember the key points, any normal person in the market can learn how to make steamed buns after two or three times.
But it is very difficult to make delicious steamed buns. Precisely because making steamed buns is the most basic and lowest entry-level work in the kitchen, there are many people who know how to make steamed buns, especially women.
, there are more people who can make steamed buns.
In fact, it is quite difficult to make this steamed bun delicious.
As a master chef in Shandong cuisine, Lao Zhao understands very well that the simpler something is, the harder it is to make it well.
For example, egg fried rice is simple, fried egg fried rice, etc. If you want to make egg fried rice well, it is basically a basic skill for a chef.
But there are only a handful of chefs who can actually cook egg fried rice well.
So egg fried rice is one of the dishes that often tests a chef's basic skills.
Precisely because of its simplicity, basically anyone with a little bit of cooking skills can make egg fried rice, but even making egg fried rice is quite difficult.
In fact, the real test of a chef's skill in the north is making steamed buns.
If a chef makes steamed buns well, even if his other dishes are not good enough, then the restaurant will definitely be happy to take him down.
On the contrary, in the north, if a chef's skill in making steamed buns is not good enough, then he is not worthy of being called a chef.
For any chef in the north, one of his most basic skills is to make steamed buns.
As a chef in the north, you may not be able to cook Burmese food, it doesn’t matter, but if you don’t know how to make steamed buns, then you are not qualified to be a chef.
These are the rules of the older generation. Of course, it is hard to say whether the people behind will abide by them.
But for the older generation of chefs, northern chefs who don’t know how to make steamed buns are not even qualified to become chefs.
Therefore, it seems to Lao Zhao that it is simply too difficult to make steamed buns well.
But after eating the steamed buns made by He Yuzhu, Lao Zhao was stunned.
It has been half a day since I made this steamed bun. It can be said that the taste is definitely much worse than when it was freshly baked. However, when you eat this steamed bun at this time, you can still feel the softness, chewiness, sweetness and deliciousness of this steamed bun.
And as a braised vegetable chef, Lao Zhao dares to use his reputation to guarantee that this steamed bun can achieve this sweet and delicious state without adding other chemical ingredients. It can be said that making the flour sweet and delicious is basically a
That's the highest level of a chef.
Because the flour actually contains maltose. Although the content is relatively small, it does contain it.
How to ask a chef to stimulate the maltose in the flour so that the whole steamed bun is sweet and delicious? This is the time to test the chef's skills.
Therefore, to truly make a steamed bun with its original flavor and achieve the highest level of sweetness and deliciousness, this comes from the essence of flour.
If a chef wants to bring out the most essential taste of an ingredient, then it can be said that he has mastered the essence of the ingredient.
Therefore, after eating the steamed buns, Lao Zhao didn't speak for a long time, and then he said with some emotion: "The waves in the Yangtze River pushed back the waves in front, and the waves in front died on the beach. Now I finally understand why you gave up."
With this kind of skill, even if I were matched up, I would have to admit defeat. I admit that he is quite good at cooking and is indeed qualified to defeat us.
But just one person from the mainland defeated us directly, which makes us lose face. If you give him the status of an honorary chef, it means that he has truly defeated our chef industry in Xiangjiang.
So where does this put our face? Do we still need it?
This person has been here for a long time, but we just surrendered. How can we make sense?
He is indeed very good at making steamed buns. I admit that I am not as good as him.
