On the day of Yan Cong's competition, Bai Jincheng was waiting for him downstairs in the hotel early in the morning.Teacher Lin knew that this was Yan Cong's brother, although he didn't know what kind of brother it was, he treated him like a cousin.And he is quite familiar with this brother. After all, the province's top scorer in science in the college entrance examination is now studying at National University. What.

It was still the competition venue, because there were not so many people in the high school group, so they only needed one day to finish the competition. Yan Cong also competed in the morning, and their topic this time was sweet and sour pork ribs.The ingredients are still the same for everyone, and the condiments are self-serving.It must be sweet and sour pork ribs, but the taste is free to play besides sweet and sour.It depends on whether you want to be creative or stick to the tradition. This also depends on the aesthetics of the judges and teachers at the time.After all, things that are judged by people can never be [-]% objective, and everyone's preferences are definitely different.

Yan Cong looked at the ingredients. Basically, the main ingredients were pretty fair, but each rib was given four pieces, which were still connected to the spine. The first thing to do was how to chop the ribs.And chopping is not just chopping into several sections.It depends on how many judges, everyone's weight should be almost equal.In addition, the size of the ribs is also related to the control of taste and cooking time.Regardless of whether the organizing committee intends to test everyone, Yan Cong feels that this is something to be careful about.

There are nine judges in their group. Looking at the meaning of four ribs, it is impossible for each person to taste a piece.They don't have audience judges, so it should be more appropriate to chop it into 18 yuan.Two yuan per person can also make a plate.But that part of the spine will not work.But he also made a decision, that is, after chopping the pork ribs, use the rest to stew the soup, and then use the pork rib soup to adjust the sweet and sour pork ribs juice.Three hours of production time is more than enough, and he can even use part of the time to design and pose.If the two ribs are put on it without being properly posed for a photo, then the appearance will not be a little extra.

For these selected teenagers, there is no pressure to make sweet and sour pork ribs, a home-cooked dish.But chopping bones is not something everyone does by themselves.After all, not all of them have been trained by professional chefs. Some teenagers seem to be tricky. They can chop right away, but they can’t grasp the strength well. The angle of the knife is wrong. If it is not allowed, it will definitely make a fuss, and it will waste ingredients, and the appearance will also have an impact.

For chefs, knife skills are not just about how finely they cut.You also need to know how to solve the problem of handling ingredients.And the chef's knife skills are not only delicate.In comparison, "cut" and "cut" have different skills.Moreover, the angle of the knife, the strength of the wrist, including how to transmit the strength in the body to the wrist and then add it to the knife, also need to be exercised.

Of course, there is no problem with Yan Cong's craftsmanship.Although he used to buy ready-made ingredients for cooking in his previous life.But in this life, following my father and grandfather, when they let themselves practice fine knife skills, they also explained and let him actually operate it.Even if he is not that proficient, nor does he use his power so skillfully.But he knows how to do it right, and he took the body-enhancing capsule last night, and today is the time when his body is at its best, chopping ribs is still a no-brainer.So I saw him raising the knife and chopping the ribs to almost the same size with a few "swish, swish, swish" cuts, and there was no messy second cut for each piece.

There were dozens of people on the field, and there were only nine judges. Naturally, they couldn't see every teenager in the competition.But someone noticed Yan Cong.The judge said with emotion: "This kid can do it. The chopping method is professional and powerful. It is fast and accurate. I don't say what will happen in the future, but it is definitely a good seed now."

Hearing what he said, the people on the side also looked over.Compared with the teenagers in the field, Yan Cong was not the only outstanding one, but he definitely looked the most pleasing to the eye.After all, a thin and frail child looks the same as the middle school group, and is also the shortest in the high school group.But this strength and this movement make you ignore his height and figure, and always feel that he is absolutely powerful.

Of course, the chef competition cannot be a competition of strength.Because the judges paid attention to him when chopping the ribs at the beginning, naturally they will pay more attention to him when cooking later.

"I can understand him cooking soup from the spine. But what is he going to do with all the meat off that?"

Another judge shrugged: "I don't know. These kids must be trying to come up with something new. After all, it's pretty standard, so it's hard to stand out for such a home-cooked dish."

"The taste type has been stipulated, even if a famous chef comes, there is not so much room to play. It is not easy for these children."

The judges discuss theirs.Yan Cong's operation is still going on.At this moment, he had already trimmed three backbones, and was working on the last one.The knife was very flexible in his hand, the meat was shaved clean first, and while the bone soup was being cooked, he began to chop the shaved bone meat into pureed meat, and then began to season it.

The judges didn't understand what he meant, but that didn't mean they didn't appreciate the kid's boning skills.And at first glance, this is taught.I asked the staff about the boy's condition, and heard that he was the grandson of Yan Shouguo, and two judges praised him: "This inheritance really can't be fooled."

The other nodded: "No. Although he has experienced such a life experience, I have to say that this child's talent has not been delayed because he missed more study time."

Although the Yan family is not a star, there are not so many ordinary people paying attention.But the Yan family is quite famous in the domestic catering industry.They are all people in the same industry, so of course it is easy to know this kind of thing.Moreover, the Yan family's business is very big, and it is the leading catering company in their province.It's not just restaurants and restaurants, but also various raw material processing factories on farms and pastures. They are also engaged in this industry.Dealing with the Yan family's business is indispensable, and Mr. Yan is a respectable chef and elder, of course they know each other.

Even if Yan Cong lived a new life, what he didn't know in his previous life, of course he doesn't know in this life.So he never thought that his life experience would be known by the judges, anyway, his mentality is very peaceful.After forming meatballs from the bone-in meat, he starts frying the meatballs.

During the three-hour competition, many contestants submitted their finished products in advance.The sweet and sour pork ribs can be made raw, of course, they can also be boiled and then rolled with sweet and sour sauce.In addition to how to season the sour and sweet sweet and sour sauce, the meat quality and taste of the ribs are also very important.Some juveniles have a good grasp of the heat, but the sweet and sour taste is not satisfactory.And there are some flavors that are well-adjusted, but the heat is a lot worse, and the taste is dull, so it is naturally not comfortable to eat.Of course, there are also a lot of good taste and taste.But the appearance makes people more helpless.In fact, these dozens of people can reach less than one-third of the professional level this morning, but in fact, for the teenagers who came to participate in this competition from high school, the judges are already very satisfied.

Yan Cong is not the only one who pays attention to plate presentation.He wasn't the only one who added side dishes.A few contestants added some vegetables to the sides because they were worried that the sweet and sour pork ribs would still feel greasy after eating.This is also a method that is used every day.And like Yan Cong, two ribs are stacked crosswise, and a meatball is placed on the side, and the sides of the plate are drizzled with sweet and sour sauce, and placed in the works of these teenagers, It is indeed "different".

Of course, for the judges who knew Yan Cong's life experience.From the point of view of the Yan family, it is normal for Yan Cong to operate like this.But they also knew that it would take less than two years for Yan Cong to be found by the Yan family.It is impossible for the gods to learn all the Yan family's family skills in such a short period of time.So they were also very curious about the reason for Yan Cong's performance beyond his academic time.

So one of the judges asked: "It's also meat, what do you mean by making meatballs?"

Yan Cong replied: "For the sake of fairness, it is also for the beauty of posing. So I divided the extra bones into two, and used the bones to cook soup. Because there is bone marrow in the spine, the soup tastes similar to that of simple ribs. The chop soup is not the same. In order to ensure that the gravy in the sweet and sour pork ribs is rich and can taste the taste of pork. I choose to use the bone broth to simmer until it is mature. As for these meatballs. Because the taste of the meat on the bone is The best. It would be better to use it to cook soup than to waste it. But there are not enough of them. I thought it would be okay to divide them into nine meatballs evenly. In order to avoid waste, I also put the meatballs in the dish The so-called make the best use of everything. If the competition wants us to make these main ingredients, I will definitely use up all of them. And the ribs are square, and the meatballs are round. I think it looks pretty good when placed together."

The judges nodded.Don't say whether the presentation is good or not. The four words "make the best use of everything" have already satisfied them.And the meat on the bone is really delicious.Each of them picked up the meatballs and ate them, and ate another rib, and then they were all surprised.Unexpectedly, when they ate the meatballs first, they felt nothing too complicated, but after eating the ribs, they felt different again.The good taste of pork ribs immediately comes to mind.

"Not bad. The slightly light seasoning of this meatball allows people to taste the sweetness of the meat first, and then eat the ribs with strong seasoning, which can bring out the sweet and sour taste. It's a good idea."

After they finish this game, there will be another game in the afternoon, and then they can directly report the game scores in the evening.Everyone knows that Yan Cong's performance will definitely advance.Therefore, Bai Jincheng said that he would take him to a delicious meal to celebrate.But Yan Cong said: "Don't eat anything good. It's so hot, I just want to eat cold noodles. It's cold and sour and sweet, how refreshing. I have two small dishes, it's even more comfortable to think about."

Bai Jincheng smiled and rubbed his head: "You are really easy to support."

Yan Cong also smiled: "Of course. To eat, you must choose what you want to eat the most now. Otherwise, what's the point of just being expensive."

"That's right. No matter how expensive something is, it's not as delicious as your croquettes! Oh, by the way, do you have a competition schedule?"

Yan Cong replied: "Yes. If I qualify successfully, I can participate in the final. There will be a few days of free time in between."

"That's fine. I haven't taken you to our old house to see it yet. Teacher Lin and I will take a leave of absence for you. Let you stay there for two days. Anyway, I won't be slow to call you back. In addition, you I haven’t seen my brother yet. He called me yesterday and told me that he will treat you when you are not busy. I thought, we have to kill him anyway. There is a restaurant in the eastern suburbs that specializes in roasting whole lamb. Farm, where you can choose your own sheep and let them roast. I haven’t been there yet, how about we go and eat?”

Yan Cong likes to eat mutton.And he is also very interested in roasted whole lamb.So he nodded: "Okay. Then I will call you after I confirm the promotion!"
