Chapter 123 Tasting
"Have you finished?" Lin Jingming said to Jiang Yang.

The rest of the judges all looked at Lin Jingming, wondering why he would ask such a question.Generally speaking, like Jiang Yang, you can taste it or not.It's all up to the judges to decide.

They taste hundreds of dishes a day, which is a great burden on the tongue.So like Jiang Yang, they didn't intend to taste it.

There must be some unfairness in the exam for the second-level chef. Most of the time, it is actually a matter of luck.

But there is no quantitative standard for cooking.Unlike some other majors, there are standard answers and strict exams.Cooking skills are different, and everyone has different definitions and tastes of cooking skills.It is difficult for you to set a standard for cooking.

To give a very simple example, if you use the standards set by Sichuan cuisine to measure Cantonese cuisine, it will definitely not work.

But regardless of the ever-changing cooking skills, in fact, taste is the king in the end.That's why there is this barely fair chef grade exam.

Because the chefs here will try to be fair and evaluate a dish from a more comprehensive perspective.Personal preference will still matter though.

"It's done." Jiang Yang replied, he didn't know the twists and turns, and thought Lin Jingming was doing it routinely.

"Then you bring it up and let me taste it." Lin Jingming said.

The rest of the judges looked at Lin Jingming in surprise again, and actually asked, and wanted to try.Could it be that this young man has something to do with Lin Jingming?

Thinking about it this way, none of the judges said anything.When encountering such a thing, everyone will turn a blind eye to it tacitly. Who can guarantee that they will not do this in the future?After all, today's society is a society of nepotism, and it is normal to be a little selfish.

Jiang Yang brought up the prepared dishes, and Lin Jingming was full of anticipation.He has nothing to do with Jiang Yang, it's pure curiosity.

The dishes are covered with lids, adding a layer of mystery.

Jiang Yang lifted the lid, and a gust of hot air swept in, forming a white mist that steamed up.After the heat dissipated, Lin Jingming moved his nose lightly, but there was not much fragrance.

Did it fail?Lin Jingming couldn't help thinking.

All the judges waited for the heat to dissipate before seeing the dishes clearly.This is actually - tofu!
That's right, it is tofu, just like the tofu sold on the street.There is no seasoning on the tofu, and pieces of tofu as white as white marble are stacked neatly together, like children building blocks for pranks.

All the judges couldn't help but frown, this is too perfunctory.If it wasn't for the heat when the lid was opened, they would have thought the tofu hadn't been cooked at all.

Even if it's perfunctory, I should add some chopped green onion and some gravy, right?Serving this tofu, do you really think other candidates are blind?

Thinking of this, several judges looked at Lin Jingming with some sympathy, and it was enough to have such a master.

Lin Jingming didn't look at them, he was just puzzled. When he observed Jiang Yang's cooking earlier, he clearly saw a lot of condiments, why didn't he see any of them now?

"Do you want to eat like this? No other requirements?" Lin Jingming asked, which made sense for him to ask.Some dishes have unique eating methods, and only by using specific eating methods can you have the most complete delicacy.

"No, just eat like this," Jiang Yang said.

Lin Jingming nodded, picked up a piece of tofu with his chopsticks, and the tofu trembled on the chopsticks.Lin Jingming slowly put the tofu into his mouth, and gently bit the tofu with his teeth.

Suddenly, Lin Jingming opened his eyes wide, as if he encountered something unbelievable.He just bit into the tofu, and hot sauce flowed out of it.

After chewing carefully, Lin Jingming swallowed it. "Huh~" He let out a long breath.

"What's the name of this dish?" Lin Jingming asked.

"No name yet." Jiang Yang replied.

"Well, did you create it yourself?" Lin Jingming asked doubts in his heart.

"It's not self-made, I borrowed ideas from the tofu box and peeing beef balls, so it shouldn't be considered self-made." Jiang Yang scratched his head and said.

"Forget it, why don't you count it! Learning from it is not plagiarism." Lin Jingming said, feeling in his heart, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!

"Ahem, Lao Lin, it's almost time." The chef who had a good relationship with Lin Jingming reminded him.It means that it is almost done, don't talk about it later, I can't get off the stage.

Lin Jingming was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what his friend meant. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Everyone, you will know after a taste."

The chef was also taken aback. Could it be that this tofu really has some secrets?But no matter how you look at it, it is an ordinary tofu.

But he knew Lin Jingming's character, he would not lie about this kind of matter.

So he couldn't help being curious, and picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth.Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he stood there motionless.

When the rest of the judges saw it, well, one performance is not enough, this requires two people to perform.But let's not say, the performance of these two people can be called perfect.If you don't become an actor, you will be inferior.

"Cough cough, Lao Lin and Lao Fu, please score quickly." A judge reminded with a cough.

It means, enough is enough for the two of you, let's pass the score quickly.

After Lao Fu swallowed it down, he said slowly, "Don't you guys try it?"

"What's the matter with you, Lao Fu?" Someone asked, meaning that there is really some mystery in this dish?
"Try it yourself." Old Fu said.

The man didn't want to taste it at first, but now that he heard Lao Fu say that, his heart felt like a cat scratching, itching unbearably.So he couldn't help but tasted the chopsticks, and he was stunned for a while.

The rest of the judges look at me and I look at you. Is this tofu really delicious?One can be said to be acting, two can be said to be in collusion, but three... makes people a little suspicious.

So the judges also tasted a mouthful of tofu, but they were all stunned.

A plate of tofu is not much, and several judges can share two yuan per person.

"Whoo~"

"Whoo~"

……

Everyone let out a sigh of relief. It was rare to taste such delicious food, and they were almost crying with happiness.

As a chef, they are actually more strict about what they eat, and even a little ordinary food will not make them feel delicious.This is how it is on weekdays, let alone coming here as a judge.

Some of the dishes made by those candidates are simply unpalatable, and most of them are barely.Not tasty at all.The tongue has been tortured for so long, and the pursuit of delicious food is even stronger.Suddenly eating the dishes made by Jiang Yang is also considered delicious, and the tongue magnifies the deliciousness, making people feel happy.

The principle is probably the same as when you come out of a smelly toilet and suddenly feel that the air outside the toilet is so fresh.

The judges looked at each other, and finally Lin Jingming said: "The tofu is smooth and has a hint of sweetness. The juice inside is spicy, fresh and hot, and it mixes with the tofu outside in the mouth, as if it has been cooked for the second time. It makes the taste of tofu blend with the taste of the sauce inside, forming a new taste. This is the first time I have eaten such a tofu dish, and I have to say it is amazing."

Jiang Yang smiled. He was really embarrassed when others praised him like this.

"But..." Lin Jingming changed his tone and said, "I still have a few questions!"
