Chapter 16 Glass Chicken 2
The mothers love Shen Ci who is outstanding in craftsmanship, and they also like her simple mind. They are all smiling. Seeing Wang Yifu behind Shen Ci, Chen mother asks: "Has your food not been served yet?"

Wang Yifu stepped forward, squatted down and said, "Nurse, not yet."

"Bring it up."

Wang Yifu put the white cup on the table, lifted the lid, and the nuns took a look. Inside were red and white radishes, cabbage, shredded cucumbers, mixed with garlic and pickled red peppers to make random dishes, all mixed together It's not ugly.

"Are you joking?" Madam Xia stood up and reprimanded, "Assess your cooking skills. If you don't know how to cook, you can cook a soup and serve it like everyone else. At least it proves that you put your heart and effort into it. How can you use something like this to fool people?"

"Mommy, I decided to make this dish for my mommas because of my hard work."

"You're talking nonsense, you cut up the vegetables casually, and serve them up after mixing, how can you say you put your heart into it?"

Grandma Xia got angry here, and suddenly heard a "creaking" sound beside her. Looking back, Grandma Chen was chewing something in her mouth. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, she was savoring the taste carefully. After chewing and swallowing, he took another bite with the vegetables.

Even if the oldest one is like this, the other three nuns can only sit down first, stretch out their chopsticks to taste the mixed dish, surprisingly, they couldn't help but taste it several times.

Even if it was the astonishing glazed chicken that Shen Ci made just now, the three nuns only ate two mouthfuls, one mouthful to taste the original flavor, the other mouthful to dip some dipping sauce, but they were not stingy with chopsticks when facing the messy dishes made by Wang Yifu , "Cracking" chewing for a long time.

Nanny Chen put down her chopsticks and asked again, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​making this dish?"

"It is said in "Book of Changes" that everything in the world has a balance of yin and yang. Just now, the nuns drank so much chicken soup and ate so much meat. If there is a yang side, it needs a yin side to reconcile.

I don’t put any oil in this cold dish. It tastes refreshing, with a little bit of sweetness to enhance the freshness, and a sour taste of acetic acid to relieve the greasy. Vegetables are used to reconcile the meaty taste, and sweet and sour flavors are used to reconcile the salty taste. In order to eat comfortably. "

"You are quite right. It seems that reading books is not in vain."

Nanny Zhou asked again: "There is still a little bit of spicy taste in this dish, it doesn't overwhelm the guest, it steals the main sweet and sour taste, and adds a layer of just right aftertaste. You are a novice, how do you know how to use various seasonings?" Let it go, how much is appropriate?"

"Taste."

"taste?"

"I took out all the seasonings in the West Temple, except for the salt needed for the base flavor, the sugar and vinegar needed for the sweet and sour taste, I put the rest of the sauces and seasonings for a try, and finally came up with this It's the best."

Nanny Zhou sighed in admiration, and couldn't help boasting to the other three nuns: "This child's tongue is so sensitive, it's really a talent."

At this point, all the girls' dishes have been evaluated, and Madam Chen greeted: "You all taste the dishes made by your colleagues. This is also an opportunity to learn and a chance to feast on your mouth."

Most of the girls who have tasted Qiu Nanxue's soup and Shen Ci's glazed chicken know that they are out of luck. Although they don't give up their cooking skills, they are all like wilted vegetable leaves, and they have been hit and lost their confidence.

The four nuns moved to the west hall to discuss the top three, but they did not come out after waiting for a long time.

Qiu Nanxue anxiously picked up chopsticks to eat Wang Yifu's mixed vegetables, and said contemptuously, "The craftsmanship is mediocre, but that's all." He took another bite of Shen Ci's glazed chicken, and dropped his chopsticks while chewing.

This chicken has been kept for a while, this taste, this texture, the more I eat it, the more I feel humiliated.

The door of the west hall opened, and the four nuns walked back to the pavilion on the north side. The girls stood in front of the pavilion, waiting for the nuns to announce the final result.

"You have all worked hard. For today's assessment, you have not slacked off all day. You have not rested from morning to now. You will have a holiday this afternoon and continue studying tomorrow."

When Nanny Chen suddenly announced such good news, the girls immediately forgot that they had just been hit once, and cheered happily. Nanny Zhou also changed her normal routine and allowed the girls to be unrestrained.

"In today's assessment, we can see that you have been studying hard recently, and you have seen a lot of surprises in the cooking process.

Since it is a contest with lottery, naturally there will be winners and losers, there is no need to be discouraged if you lose, and you must not be proud of those who win.Three people must have my teacher. From other people's craftsmanship, we can definitely learn new things.

The girls had just been happy for a while, and when they heard Mother Chen's lecture, they all lowered their heads and obeyed.

"We've already decided on the top three. Let's talk about No.3 first. No.3 is Qiu Nanxue."

The girl beside Qiu Nanxue wanted to congratulate her, but she turned her head and saw her face with a smile, so she gave up.

No.3 was sullen, without any joy, watching the steps of the pavilion with blank eyes. Everyone could see that she was sulking, but they didn't know whether she was angry at herself for not being able to live up to expectations, or at others for being too good.

"Most of you use chicken soup to make tofu soup. Only Qiu Nanxue's soup is the best. You can really eat its taste without seeing its shape. You can't do this without experience. You all have to learn from her carefully.

However, it is precisely because I chose to make tofu, which is brilliant and not surprising, so I have to choose No.3, No.2..."

Hearing this, both Shen Ci and Wang Yifu put their hearts into their throats. Only the dishes of the three of them were affirmed by the nuns. The third one was Qiu Nanxue, so the other two should be The two of them, thinking of this, inevitably became more nervous.

"No.2... is Wang Yifu."

When Wang Yifu heard the result, she breathed a sigh of relief. She never thought that she could surpass Shen Ci in cooking, so she could only try by surprise. Although she failed to get the chance to enter the palace, Shen Ci went to actually It's the same.

"Most of you today are trying to find ways to make the best things you make, or use good ingredients, or show off your technology. Only Wang Yifu chooses dishes from the perspective of diners, knowing that we drink too much chicken soup, If you eat too much meat, you will get greasy, so use cold vegetables to reconcile it.

What she made was the least leftover.

As a chef, the most important thing is not to show off, but to put diners first.In the palace, the master and nobles are put first. I hope you can learn this today. "

The girls bowed their heads and said yes, waiting for Nanny Chen to announce No.1.

"No.1, we gave it to Shen Ci, the reason is very simple, the food she cooks is the best."

The best thing she cooks?

Mother Chen's reason seems to be rich in meaning, but it seems to have no meaning at all.

The girls in the training ground were all dumbfounded. On the one hand, they felt that what Chen Nanny said was true, but on the other hand, they were really hard to figure out. What is the best food?

What if one person thinks it tastes good, but another person thinks it tastes bad?
