Chapter 569
Hu Zhihui is a chef, and Jiang Yang is also a chef. The two have many topics in common.Many cooking topics, the two can chat very speculatively.

"Brother, I haven't asked you yet, what do you do?" Hu Zhihui asked.

"I'm also a chef." Jiang Yang said.

"No wonder you know a lot about cooking." Hu Zhihui laughed.

He didn't think that Jiang Yang would be such a good cook, after all, Jiang Yang's age was there.

No.1 in the National Youth Culinary Competition?
Hu Zhihui didn't even think about it. In his impression, the No.1 in this kind of competition should be busy making money now, so how could he have the time to appear in such a small town.

Obviously, Hu Zhihui didn't know enough about chefs like Jiang Yang, so he wasn't really in the circle of chefs.

This is actually quite normal. There are many Yeluzi chefs like Hu Zhihui who have become monks halfway through.They are not particularly concerned about things in the so-called chef circle, and perhaps their understanding is not as good as that of some ordinary people.

The two chatted very speculatively, and the topic changed on various culinary issues.From culinary art history to cultural inheritance, from the source of ingredients to the cooking of dishes, every topic made the two of them very lively.

The two big men chatted more and more speculatively, almost feeling like they hated seeing each other later.

On the other side, Meng Wanqiu and Hu Zhihui's wife also chatted happily, laughing from time to time.

"Sister, your skin is so good, what skin care products do you use?"

"Really? Actually, I don't usually use any skin care products, just some moisturizing products."

"Wow! I really envy you, you are born with good skin."

"Sister, your skin isn't bad either. It's rosy and rosy. Even a woman like me can't help it. Doesn't that one of yours often lose control?" Hu Zhihui's wife pouted at Jiang Yang with ambiguous eyes. arrive.

"Where is it? My sister thinks too much."

The topic of the two women unknowingly turned in another direction.

She didn't know what to say, anyway, Meng Wanqiu's face was getting redder and she was very shy.

On this side, the two of them talked about the chef himself somehow, and talked about what kind of chef is a good chef.

"A good chef must be able to select really good ingredients. Only when the ingredients are selected well can he be a good chef. Look at the world's top delicacies, such as caviar, foie gras, Wagyu, etc., as long as the ingredients are good , simple cooking can make the ultimate delicious food. And this kind of delicacy is indeed something that some chefs can’t compare with ordinary ingredients. So I think, a really good chef is a chef who can choose ingredients, not a good chef The process of selecting ingredients is on the way of selecting ingredients." Hu Zhihui explained his point of view.

At first Jiang Yang kept nodding his head, but the more he heard it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Whether or not a chef knows how to choose ingredients, that's for sure.It can even be said that choosing ingredients is one of the most basic abilities of a chef. If you can't tell whether the ingredients are good or bad, then you can't be regarded as a qualified chef.

But...is a chef who chooses top ingredients to cook is a good chef?

Jiang Yang disagreed a little, but he didn't know why.

What Hu Zhihui said is right, top-level ingredients do not require much cooking, and even extra seasonings are not needed to cook out the incomparable delicacy of ordinary ingredients.

For example, caviar, black truffle, French foie gras, top Wagyu beef, etc. How complicated cooking is required?is not needed.

From this point of view, Hu Zhihui's words are not wrong. Isn't a chef looking for such top-level ingredients a good chef?

Jiang Yang kept thinking in his heart, and his face gradually became heavy.

Hu Zhihui thought that Jiang Yang was convinced by him, and he felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart, but he didn't have a complacent expression.

"Brother, don't think about it. You are still young, try to become a top chef." Hu Zhihui comforted Jiang Yang, and gave him an encouragement by the way.

Jiang Yang didn't respond, and kept thinking about what makes a good cook.

Seeing that Jiang Yang didn't speak, Hu Zhihui also knew that he was a bit stubborn. This is a common problem of young people. After a lot of experience, many things can naturally be understood.

Hu Zhihui didn't bother Jiang Yang, some things still need to be figured out by him alone, what others say can never replace what he thinks in his heart.

The two women chatted passionately, but the topic had turned to normal, and they were talking about topics between women.

Hu Zhihui leaned over and sat beside his wife.

"Why are you here? We women are chatting, and the stinky man goes away!" Hu Zhihui's wife "disliked" Hu Zhihui said.

"I don't! Just pretend that I don't exist, and continue talking about you." Hu Zhihui said.

"Aren't you going to accompany Jiang Yang?" Hu Zhihui's wife was puzzled.

"Brother is thinking about something, I'll let him be alone for a while." Hu Zhihui said.

"What's wrong? What is he thinking?" Meng Wanqiu asked hastily.

She was afraid that Jiang Yang would fall into the dazed state before, and she was a little worried.

Hu Zhihui didn't hide anything, and talked about the topic he just had with the two of them.

Meng Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't fall into a daze.

"No! What you said is wrong!" Jiang Yang suddenly called out.

All three of them were startled by Jiang Yang's sudden voice. Jiang Yang got up and walked towards Hu Zhihui quickly.

"What I just said is wrong. A good chef is definitely not a chef who can only pick ingredients." Jiang Yang said firmly.

Before Hu Zhihui could speak, Jiang Yang continued to narrate his views.

"You are right. Top-notch ingredients can indeed achieve a high degree of delicacy through simple cooking, but that is the delicacy of the ingredients themselves, and has nothing to do with the chef. Moreover, such top-notch ingredients can be enjoyed How many people are there?"

"But top chefs only serve a small number of people! Look at the imperial chefs in ancient times, they only serve people in the palace." Hu Zhihui said.

"No, no. A chef doesn't just serve a small number of people. A good chef should allow more people to taste and enjoy the delicious food." Jiang Yang retorted.

Hu Zhihui wanted to say something more, but Jiang Yang didn't give him a chance to speak.

At this moment, Jiang Yang's words seemed to be not only for Hu Zhihui, but also for himself.

"The vocation of a chef is to turn ordinary ingredients into delicious dishes, instead of trying to find the so-called top ingredients. A chef who cooks ordinary ingredients into the taste of top ingredients can be called a good chef."

"Top-level ingredients can only be enjoyed by a small number of people, but chefs serve the public. In the eyes of chefs, diners should not be classified as high or low. Every diner should be entitled to taste delicious food."

As Jiang Yang spoke, his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if something broke out of his heart and grew into a towering tree.

"A chef is a person who brings happiness to people through delicious food. It is a chef's responsibility to cook the most wonderful taste with the most common ingredients."

"I understand, bring people happiness, bring people happiness! I understand! So it is, so it is! Hahahaha!" Jiang Yang suddenly laughed as he spoke.

From the eyes of others, Jiang Yang seemed to be a bit of a snake spirit, why he suddenly started laughing while talking to himself.

Jiang Yang is really happy, the road ahead that has been confused for a long time is finally clear.

He found his own way, that is, Chuxin! ! !
