Chef Fang's ideas are a bit narrow-minded, even though he has seen Song Yutong's ability and the dishes she made, as well as the delicious aroma of the dishes.
He also still insisted that this woman was simply playing tricks on the class.
After the Kung Pao Chicken was ready, it was served on the stove. The shopkeeper, Mr. He Wen, couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and taste it.
Song Yutong stared at the two men nervously. Although she was very confident in her cooking skills, she was still worried that what she cooked would not suit the taste of the shopkeeper, Mr. He Wen.
The first thing Mr. Wen tasted was Kung Pao Chicken, which was the dish he was most looking forward to.
Song Yutong observed his expression and saw that Mr. Wen suddenly closed his eyes and chewed slowly, as if he was savoring the food.
Seeing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, followed by the shopkeeper. He couldn't stop swallowing the smell of fried tofu, and now he could use chopsticks.
The first person to start was the pan-fried tofu. He picked up a large piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. After a while, he picked up a piece of Chinese cabbage and started eating.
Before Song Yutong could ask how it tasted, the shopkeeper suddenly left. Song Yutong stared at his back in confusion, wondering if the fried tofu she made didn't taste good.
She reached for a pair of clean chopsticks and was about to taste it. She saw the shopkeeper holding a bowl with a full bowl of rice, and started eating the fried tofu.
Even the famous palace dish Gongbao Chicken next to it seems to be no longer fragrant.
"Shopkeeper, do you want to try Kung Pao Chicken again?" Song Yutong said.
The shopkeeper seemed to remember this dish after hearing her words. He had not tasted it yet, so he picked up a piece of diced chicken and put it in his mouth.
Mr. Wen turned to look at the shopkeeper, and suddenly realized that the old guy had gone to serve the rice!
"Shopkeeper, why didn't you call me when you were serving the rice?" After saying this, Mr. Wen hurriedly ran to get the bowl.
When he came back, he also had a full bowl of rice in his hands and started eating the Kung Pao Chicken and Pan-fried Tofu made by Song Yutong.
"Fragrant! Really fragrant! The tofu is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It has the original bean flavor of tofu and the umami flavor of eggs. Besides, the Chinese cabbage is placed inside the tofu. It absorbs enough juice and is soft and delicious in the mouth. It has endless aftertaste.
.Mrs. Cheng, your skills are really good."
The shopkeeper commented unceremoniously that at the moment he didn't care so much whether he would offend Chef Fang by praising Song Yutong so much in front of Chef Fang.
Just these two dishes have completely conquered him.
Even the dishes cooked by Chef Fang seem a bit bland compared to this, but they are also delicious, but they use different ingredients and methods.
The shopkeeper focused his attention on the bottles and jars that Song Yutong brought. He remembered that there were no such things in the kitchen. They were all brought by Mrs. Cheng.
"This Kung Pao Chicken is really delicious. The meat is tender and not dry, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It leaves a fragrant aroma on the lips and teeth. The white radish and carrots have the aroma of chicken, and at the same time it tastes sweet, crunchy and very refreshing."
Mr. Wen, I completely believe that the Kung Pao Chicken made by Song Yutong is the legendary authentic palace dish.
When Chef Fang saw Mr. Wen and the shopkeeper praising Song Yutong together, he felt very unconvinced. He just felt that Mr. Wen and the shopkeeper must have never seen the world.
"Even if she can cook it, it may not be an authentic palace dish. It may look a bit like it."
With that said, Chef Fang went to find a pair of chopsticks, walked to the stove, picked up a piece of Kung Pao Chicken, put it into his mouth and tasted it carefully, preparing to find out Song Yutong's faults.
Who would have thought that this bite of Kung Pao Chicken would actually taste better than the one made by his imperial chef, it was extremely tasty, and the taste was similar or even better.
He froze on the spot and was shocked for a long time.
Then, he extended his chopsticks to the fried tofu, picked up a piece of tofu and tasted it, and then the Chinese cabbage under the tofu.
Sure enough, as the shopkeeper Mr. Wen said, Mrs. Cheng's cooking skills are indeed amazing.
He put down his chopsticks and didn't know what expression to make on his face. Looking at Song Yutong's face, it was filled with disbelief and a hint of admiration.
Despite this, he still didn't agree with her in his heart, but her cooking skills conquered him.
Chef Fang turned to look at the bottles and jars on the stove, picked up a jar of soy sauce, opened the lid and smelled the smell, but found that the smell was different from what he had used before.
It will also smell more fragrant, but this sauce is the imperial condiment in the palace. Why does this woman have the imperial condiments in the hands of the palace?
And she can also make Kung Pao Chicken. Could it be that she came from the palace? Or maybe she had contact with the royal chefs from the palace. Otherwise, how can we explain that she knows this famous palace dish?
With this explanation, Chef Fang immediately figured it out. Maybe this woman, like him, had a royal chef.
Thinking of this, Chef Fang's prejudice against Song Yutong disappeared immediately. Anyone who can defeat Chef Yu as a master will not be a simple person.
Even if he is simple now, he will have a prosperous future one day. He still doesn't want to offend anyone.
"Sorry, I am too biased and have a bad attitude. Your cooking skills are indeed good."
Although Chef Fang's face was still dark at this moment, his apology was sincere.
The purpose of Song Yutong's coming here is to earn more happiness points and activate the seed mall of the Manchu-Han banquet system.
It wasn't that she wanted to compete with Chef Fang for a job. If she hadn't realized it before, working in this group of cooks, no matter whether her cooking skills were good or bad, would cause trouble to Chef Fang.
Her cooking skills are higher than those of Chef Fang, which may cause Chef Fang to lose his job. If her cooking skills are too poor, it will also cause trouble to others.
"I accept your apology. I also hope that Chef Fang, you won't underestimate women in the future. Some women may seem weak, but in fact they are scary inside. It's okay if you meet a generous one, but if you meet a petty woman,
You never know how others will harm you behind your back."
Song Yutong was a kind reminder.
In short, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, you should not underestimate it.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the new dish Pan-fried Tofu and gaining 150 happiness points. 】
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden dish Gongbao Chicken. You will receive 300 happiness points and a hidden dish gift pack. Please check it in time!]
Suddenly the voice of the Manchu-Han banquet system came to my mind.
Song Yutong was surprised when he heard the words "hidden dishes"! There is such an operation?!
And the happiness value of this dish is actually double that of ordinary dishes...
