Chapter 557(1/2)
As soon as the words came, some people began to shine in their eyes, and they all wanted to make a name for themselves.
Now is undoubtedly the best opportunity. If you can show off your skills in front of the chef Mr. Huo, if you are attracted by it, you might become successful in the future.
When Chen Nian heard this, he couldn't help but look up, then turned to look at Tonio beside him.
Both of them saw confidence and firmness in each other's eyes.
Then the two of them raised their hands at the same time.
In addition to the two of them, several other chefs also raised their hands one after another.
Mr. Huo looked at it and there were five people in total, then nodded.
"Then you guys do it here now, and wait for anyone who does the best will fill in this space."
Hearing this, Chen Nian's eyes shone with brilliance. He thought he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity in less than a week.
The five of them were then assigned to the stove.
"Now all five of you must use fish to cook. I don't care what you cook, and you can choose the ingredients here, but there is only one requirement, that is, it is delicious."
After the words were finished, the five nodded at the same time, and then began to go down to get the ingredients they wanted.
Chen Nian suddenly felt like he was participating in the chef competition, but now he felt that the competition was much smaller than that at that time.
There are enough ingredients in the kitchen, so there is no situation where I can’t use it if you take it.
To be on the safe side, Chen Nian planned to make a squirrel mandarin fish.
Although this is on the sea, there are also mandarin fish on the boat. After all, every guest can pay a lot of money on the boat, so the owner of the boat also carefully collected some ingredients from all over the place.
This includes mandarin fish.
However, the mandarin fish that Chen Nian has always used is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the mandarin fish used on this boat originated from Guangdong.
When the others saw Chen Nian actually took the mandarin fish, they couldn't help but feel interesting, because although the mandarin fish was transported to this ship specifically, compared with some other grouper fish, the bream was still a bit worse.
And there are reasons why those fish are expensive.
It only needs to be treated simply and it tastes very delicious, so it has a natural advantage.
But this expression only exists on the faces of those gray-collar chefs and some blue-collar chefs.
Soon they started to deal with it, and the first thing they did was to clean up and kill the fish.
Since scraping the scales, Chen Nian has maintained a high concentration of energy, which is related to whether he can learn the top Buddha Jumping over the wall on this ship.
Soon the sound of talking around gradually became smaller, leaving only the sound of fish scales falling in the kitchen.
After processing the fish scales, Chen Nian began to process the internal organs again, and then there was the fishy black film outside the fish and the fishy film inside the fish.
Just at this point, two people who had been watching Mr. Huo and the red-collar chefs who had been watching him were eliminated.
Because they had never dealt with high-end fish in this kitchen before, they found that they were completely different from the ones they had done before.
But this is only one aspect of it, and the other is because their own level is not very good, and they are also irritable when they use a knife, even if they are just the simplest fish treatment, that is, the most ordinary apprenticeship level.
However, Mr. Huo didn't say anything, just let them do it.
Chen Nian didn't go to see anyone else at all while working. Soon he was the first to clean up the fish and then began to prepare for a change of the knife.
He plans to make a squirrel mandarin.
This dish is still quite ornamental, and the taste is sweet and sour.
Therefore, even if it is placed in the chefs in other countries, it is more in line with the other party's taste.
In addition, you can also show your own basic skills during the entire production process.
So this is the purpose of Aged Choosing This Fish and Making This Dish.
Otherwise, just take a whole piece of salmon, then cut it down and dip it in water and put it in a plate of salmon sashimi. Although it will not taste too bad, it will not show anything.
In the process of cooking the fish, the only three people left were Aged, Tonio and another white chef.
Not long after, one of the two people who were destined to be eliminated had finished his food, but he himself didn't know that his ending had been confirmed.
What he made was a simple salmon sashimi, but it seemed that he knew that the dishes he had made were really simple, so he spent most of his time placing on the plate.
Soon the dish was brought to Mr. Huo.
"You all taste it too." Mr. Huo looked at the red-collar chefs.
Those red-collar chefs look at me, and I look at you. No one wants to start first, because this dish obviously looks like something is wrong. Although I haven't eaten it yet, I don't know how the dipping sauce tastes, but just looking at the shapes of the fish cut, it can even be seen that the hand I held when cutting it was too hard and pressed the fish back.
"No matter what food is made, I never know where it is done wrong when I haven't eaten it. Everyone is a chef and now serves as a judge..."
After saying that, Mr. Huo took the fork from the tray next to him, then picked a piece of fish, dipped it in the seasoning, and put it in his mouth.
When others saw this, they had to follow suit. After all, the chefs were already leading the way, so how could they watch?
But then everyone's brows turned into twists.
"Not at all!"
“It’s so unpalatable!”
"Good ingredients are wasted!"
Negative reviews came one after another, and some people even started to scold in their native language.
Chen Nian didn't understand a single sentence of the silly Chen, but he could probably guess some based on the other person's expression and tone.
"You are not qualified." Mr. Huo said in the end.
The chef seemed a little discouraged, but in the end he just spread his hands and did not show too much desire to win or lose.
After all, he also knew that his level was indeed average, and this time he came out just to try his luck.
Following him was another chef who was directly judged as unqualified when preparing dishes.
It can be seen that his level is slightly higher than the previous one, and his processing is slightly more complicated.
But it's just a little higher.
After he finished processing the fish, he took the best part, then put a layer of vegetable leaves on the bottom of the plate, then placed the raw fish pieces on it, and then mixed a bowl of sauce and poured it on the fish meat, and finally put it in a pot to steam.
The fish is easier to cook, and just after the first finisher came out, his dishes were also served.
And after coming out, I also thoughtfully used a dining knife to divide the fish into small pieces for tasting.
This time, the red-collar chefs didn't ask Mr. Huo to do it first, so they started to taste the dishes. The main reason was that the dishes looked much more normal and were steamed seriously. Except for the problems they seemed to be at the beginning, the others looked good.
But when they put this piece of fish into their mouths, they realized that they were really thinking it was wrong.
First of all, there is too much soy sauce here, and when there is too much soy sauce, there is also too much salt, so the saltiness of this piece of fish can be imagined.
Secondly, the taste of the fish is not good either. The steaming time in the pot is too long, resulting in the fish losing the tenderness and elasticity it should have, and instead becoming particularly old.
"It's simply a failure!"
"I'm so embarrassed to raise my hand if I do this?"
"Go down! Go down! Don't embarrass you!"
The contestant was also bombarded.
The third one is another Southeast Asian. Chen Nian doesn’t know why there are so many Southeast Asians on the ship.
And Chen Nian always feels that they all look the same.
However, this is obviously much more reliable than the first two. He chose to stew the fish. Just the taste floating out of the pot, the fish was stewed very well, at least it smelled fragrant, and there was no strange things on it.
Mr. Huo and the red-collar chefs couldn't help but nod after tasting it. Obviously, he felt that his cooking skills were pretty good. Although there were some minor flaws when cooking, it would be enough to pay attention to these things later.
If the latter two people don’t work, then this person may be able to get the opportunity to take the post.
"You go and wait first and see how the two of you are doing."
As soon as these words were said, the man's face suddenly showed joy. With such an answer, it means he has a chance!
And the others couldn't help but look enviously.
All that is still being done is Jannian and Tonio.
When choosing fish, Chen Nian chose mandarin fish while Tonio chose blue and white fish.
After he chose the blue and white fish, he also chose tomatoes like the old one, but the method was different.
He first marinated the blue and white fish with black pepper and sea salt for a while. During this process, he chopped the onions and garlic, Ouqin and cut the tomatoes.
Then after waiting for a while, the fish was almost marinated, he put it into the pot and started frying slowly over low heat.
After frying, serve it aside and set aside. Then put the chopped onion and garlic in the pot again, and add another small spoonful of butter to the pot.
Serve slowly, and after the fragrance wafts out, he puts the tomatoes and salt into the pot.
At this time, Chen Nian was just baking the fish, so he took the time to look here.
But just a glance, he knew how Tonio would make this dish. The purpose of adding salt at this time was to allow the tomato to make soup quickly.
Then a large amount of red pepper powder and tomato paste were added to enhance the flavor, and then the broth and chickpeas were added to stew.
Just as the low heat was slowly boiling, the little smell began to float in the kitchen soon.
