Chapter 477 The first completed dish
The ingredient Jiang Yang chose was a fish, and he was processing it right now.

Chen Cuiyi's food material is tofu, and as the inheritor of Mapo tofu, Chen Cuiyi's specialty is naturally mapo tofu.

It's a pity that Jiang Yang had cooked it before, and it would be inappropriate for Chen Cuyi to bring it out now.Chen Cuyi also thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to cook this dish.

Long Yun'an's ingredients are very special, and he chooses the precious bird's nest.At this time, he was carefully removing the remaining impurities on the bird's nest, bit by bit, very carefully.

Three people choose different ingredients.

This is an unlimited competition, and they can all come up with their own special dishes.

What Jiang Yang wanted to cook was a dish that left a deep impression on him - sweet and sour fish!

He still remembered the little girl who bought sweet and sour fish with 18 yuan seven cents. This dish undoubtedly left a deep impression on Jiang Yang.

Long Yun'an picked out the longan meat and put it in a bowl.

What he wants to cook is a dessert - bird's nest with coconut milk and rock sugar.This is a very famous Cantonese dessert.

The original recipe for this dish is to soak the bird's nest for four hours, but Long Yun'an has his own cooking method.

Jiang Yang cleaned up the carp and prepared various seasonings step by step.

The three of them did not seek speed, but cooked slowly, striving to achieve the ultimate in every step.

Chen Cuyi is an important ingredient in making mapo tofu - ground meat.

The ground meat is made of beef. Good ground meat tastes extremely crispy, which contrasts with the softness and tenderness of tofu.

Chen Chuyi has a unique secret recipe for making ground meat, which is a method passed down from generation to generation by his Chen family, and has been continuously improved by each generation of inheritors.

Many chefs don’t pay too much attention to ground meat when cooking mapo tofu. After all, the main ingredient of mapo tofu is tofu. As long as the tofu is cooked well, the ground meat is not very effective.

However, the Chen family doesn't think so. They have reached the extreme in the research of mapo tofu.Ground meat, in their opinion, is a very important ingredient.The taste of mapo tofu with good ground meat and mapo tofu without good ground meat is completely different.

Chen Cuyi took his time and made the minced meat.Originally a dish that could be cooked quickly, it was cooked very slowly in Chen Cuyi's hands.

Time passes slowly...

Rongcheng.

Meng Wanqiu didn't pay attention to the game because she was having a dispute with her father right now.

"It doesn't matter if the project is lost, just stop the loss in time." Father Meng said.

"No, I have already invested so much. If I don't fight hard, I will definitely lose money. If I fight hard, it is possible to recover the loss." Meng Wanqiu said.

"Lanqiu, you will suffer big losses if you think this way. The worst mentality in the market is to avoid evildoers. Since you know that the chances of winning are not great, you should stop the loss in time. It's not all-or-nothing, and there is no way out." Father Meng persuaded earnestly.

"Dad, I know what you said, but we have to forge ahead, otherwise we will be eliminated." Meng Wanqiu arrived.

She is very firm in her opinion.

"It's good to be aggressive, but it depends on the situation. You are not aggressive, but you are going to die!" Father Meng said.

Meng Wanqiu pursed her lips and did not speak.

Father Meng felt a little distressed when he saw this.

Sighing, Father Meng said, "Lan Qiu, you need to know that opening a restaurant requires a good chef, not only good cooking skills, but also a reputation. Only in this way can the restaurant continue to operate, otherwise it will lose money. You Look at the big restaurants in Rongcheng, which one doesn’t have a master chef in charge? Look at us again, where can we hire a master chef? Before you cooperated with Shen Peihong, it was still possible, but now Shen Peihong can’t protect himself, he can’t help you .”

"Dad, do you know something?" Meng Wanqiu asked suddenly.

"Well, I don't know the specifics. I heard from some of my friends that the circle of chefs may change recently, and the position of the boss of food magazines may change." Father Meng said.

Meng Wanqiu was silent and did not speak.

Meng's father did not mention the withdrawal of capital from "Diner". Although the position of the boss of "Diner" may not be guaranteed, it is not so easy for "Diner" to fall over after so many years of accumulation.

There is no need to withdraw capital, and it may be useful to keep it in the future.

Meng's father is a person who likes to put his eggs in countless baskets. Meng Wanqiu is not clear about the investments he is involved in.

The company is just a part of his wealth.

"Maybe... we still have a chance!" Meng Wanqiu said.

Father Meng looked at Meng Wanqiu without saying a word, opportunity?How can there be any chance?
He did know some master chefs, but he couldn't invite them.The one who can be hired is at most a first-class chef.

However, the top-level chef was sitting in the big restaurant, and he was still a little short of his weight.

Meng Wanqiu thought for a while and said, "Jiang Yang, maybe he can help us!"

Meng's father froze for a moment. Knowing his daughter, Mo Ruofu, his daughter's mention of Jiang Yang was obviously not a whim.

What kind of person is Father Meng?The society has worked hard for many years, and it is extremely transparent to see things.

"You are... because of Jiang Yang?" Father Meng asked.

Meng Wanqiu did not speak.

Father Meng already knew the answer.

"Oh, forget it! If you want to persevere, persevere." Father Meng said, as if he was a few years older.

…………

On the imperial cooking competition field.

Jiang Yang's dishes are almost finished.

The sweet and sour fish he cooked was enough for a dozen people, enough for all the judges to taste it.

Although the organizer didn't ask for it, since there was a review, naturally every reviewer had to eat.This is also one of the invisible requirements of the organizers.

Not only Jiang Yang, but Long Yun'an and Chen Cuiyi's cooking was enough for everyone to taste.

Chen Cuiyi's mapo tofu is almost finished, while Long Yunan's bird's nest with coconut milk and rock sugar is only half finished.

After all, Chen Cuiyi was one step ahead of Jiang Yang and finished the dishes first.

The chef who finishes first actually has an advantage.

At this time, the judges did not taste other dishes, and the taste is the emptiest and the time when the dishes are most captivating.

If the taste of the dishes is stronger, it can affect the taste of the following dishes.

The influence of the dishes is not only on the taste, it can be more profound.It's like reading a good novel, but when you read other novels, you always feel dull.

Chen Cuyi walked up to the judges with mapo tofu in his hand.

"Ma Po Tofu! Please taste it!"

Chen Cuyi bowed and said.

The judges looked at each other in blank dismay, and picked up chopsticks to taste without saying anything.

The judges moved their lips slightly and chewed carefully.

The crispy, burnt ground meat bursts out the most wonderful taste between the teeth, and it blends with the smooth and hot tofu in the mouth, forming an irresistible taste.

"As expected of the successor of Mapo Tofu, this Mapo Tofu is amazing."

"It's delicious, no matter what, it's perfect and impeccable."

"Ma Po Tofu is known for its knife skills, but it can be seen from the details that the knife skills are extraordinary. The seasoning and cooking are also excellent. Lao Chen has a good grandson. You are better than Lao Chen when he was young." Yang Kaizhong commented.
