Although I am cautious, I also lack experience in doing this kind of thing, so I can't guarantee that there will be no mistakes.
"This...I'm just an assistant chef, so that's not good." Zhang Wei said tentatively.
Tang Zhihun smiled heartily: "I have the final say in this kitchen. If you think there is any problem, feel free to say it!"
I have the final say in this kitchen...
Hint me?
Unexpectedly, Tang Zhihun is quite intuitive.
In this case, Zhang Wei is not polite.
Get a new knife and fork, tie a scarf, cut off a piece of barbecue, put it in your mouth and savor it.
"The outside is charred and the inside is tender, and the soup is thick. It should be fried to lock in the moisture in the fish, and then roasted over high heat."
"The pastry has the flavor of egg white, and the seasoning uses strong-flavored chopped herbs and mango powder, probably to remove the fishy smell."
"But the taste still has some... shortcomings."
"Is the secret in this glass of wine? The strong impact of the fishy smell is used to create a secondary change in the taste..."
Zhang Wei talked eloquently and clearly broke down the ideas for making this dish.
I have to say that Tang Zhihun still has a solid foundation, and this dish is quite satisfactory, with no shortcomings at all.
Tang Zhihun on the side opened his mouth in surprise.
I never dreamed that a little assistant chef could have such insight!
There are some parts of this dish that even I didn’t expect!
This world is too crazy!
Tang Zhihun was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Then he said: "Then do you think there is room for improvement in this dish?"
"What are you talking about, Mr. Chef? I'm just a little assistant chef. How can I know how to cook? These are just nonsense. You should ask a powerful senior chef to guess this question."
Zhang Wei's meaning is very simple. Even if you find something, don't expose me. I prefer my current identity as a chef.
However... Tang Zhihun is indeed a malleable talent, and there is no need to teach him a few tricks.
"Haha, I was rash."
From Tang Zhhun's point of view, asking an assistant chef such a question is indeed similar to humiliation.
However, Zhang Wei's words also made Tang Zhihun feel that he was extremely talented and could help him more in the future.
The eyes of the two men as they secretly looked at each other were full of instructable praise.
Tang Zhihun thought for a while and took out a copy of the order from his arms.
"Zhang Wei, I hope you will become my official assistant. This is the appointment letter."
"This...I don't want to leave the food processing room in the outer area yet."
"It doesn't matter, you and I can just stay as we are now. It won't affect your normal working hours."
Tang Zhihun continued: "The most important thing is that after you have this identity, you can freely enter and exit the high-rise area, enter the kitchen and use various raw materials at will."
This item is really convenient. You don’t have to be sneaky when you are short of ingredients and seasonings.
Zhang Wei nodded and took the order.
Tang Zhihun smiled and said: "Don't relax in the future, you have to study more cooking skills."
Zhang Wei turns into a riddle guesser.
"Let's make progress together, Mr. Chef, please work hard too!"
…………
…
Bruce didn't know that his work had received good reviews from Zhang Wei.
Sneaking into a deserted tunnel, he casually carved out a small room on an ice wall dozens of meters thick.
The ice, which is difficult for ordinary people to break with iron tools, is like tofu in Bruce's hands.
"This place is sheltered from the wind and cold, just perfect for resting."
He took out the warm earthenware pot from his pocket and opened the lid.
Bruce took a deep breath.
The rich aroma is broken down by the olfactory cells, and the shadows of various animals, vegetables, and spices constantly appear in my mind.
Identifying ingredients by smell is the most common technique used by chefs.
Advanced chefs can even obtain information such as the temperature of the food, the quality of the ingredients, the ratio of seasonings, etc.
But Bruce couldn't tell what kind of ingredients it was, and he couldn't guess what processing techniques were used.
"It tastes like beef...but it's definitely not tenderloin, ribs, leg meat, or even beef belly or brisket."
"It's not a soup but a stew. I can't tell the difference between the cooking techniques!"
"But the materials used seem to be low-grade. What do you mean, you are looking down on me?"
Bruce originally thought that there would be some surprise hidden in the rustic earthen jar, but he didn't expect that the materials used would be so random.
There are countless treasures in the Century Exhibition Association. Even if you don't use rainbow fruits, there are also many rare ingredients with a capture level of ten or above at the level of Lingxi Five Birds.
Tang Zhihun is so casual.
However, although the materials were more common, Bruce had never seen this strange processing method.
Curiously, I picked up a piece from the jar. The transparent cylinder looked like a thick noodle that had been chopped off.
“Beef tendon in the leg?”
"Shouldn't this kind of part be kitchen waste?"
Bruce was startled and immediately rummaged around in the clay pot.
"Is this the intestines?"
"And this...stomach?"
"Liver... lungs..."
Bruce couldn't laugh or cry. There are countless delicacies in the human world and a vast range of ingredients.
It is a basic skill of a chef to recognize the most precious parts of ingredients at a glance and process them into delicious food.
If we choose low-end ingredients, how can we ensure the taste of the food?
Chefs must be responsible for their own work!
"Soup Soul...Are you humiliating yourself by using such low-end ingredients?"
Take the four-armed Dora Vajra of capture level 9 as an example. It weighs 1.5 tons and its whole body is full of strong muscles. All of them are unpalatable parts.
But the monkey brain, which weighs only two kilograms, is one of the top delicacies in the fresh food industry.
For 1.5 tons of ingredients, only two kilograms are used. This is the correct way to select ingredients!
Only ingredients of this grade can produce exquisite delicacies and serve them on the tables of the upper class.
Thinking of this, Bruce even lost the desire to taste it.
Just when he was about to throw away the rustic earthen pot, the aroma of the food aroused Bruce's greed.
Gu Gu Gu~~
"Um?"
There is a cry in the belly, which is the desire for delicious food.
"It must have consumed too much energy from crossing the Ice Hell Plains. Why do I crave this kind of food?"
"It seems that I haven't eaten for two days. It would be good to replenish some energy."
"I hope you can satisfy my picky stomach and don't let me vomit it out."
All ingredients with catch-grade ingredients and meat contain huge amounts of nutrients, but for gourmet cells, only taste is the strongest driving force.
Pick up a piece of tendon and the tomato-colored soup drips, making it bright and shiny.
"Strange...there is something indescribably different about this stew."
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Bruce put the tendon into his mouth.
The soft tendons are cooked accurately, making them soft and chewy when you bite them.
Every time you chew, the spicy, sour and sweet juice will splash into your entire mouth.
“What a strong flavor!”
"How could this happen? If there is no oil or salt in food like tendons, how could the soup seep in?"
“And it has just the right texture, it tastes like the food is coming alive in your mouth!”
"This is just low-grade food... but it's so arrogant!"
The taste of the soup base is also surprisingly good, and you can vaguely taste the taste of unknown medicinal herbs.
The soup is soaked in the deliciousness of the meat, the meat adds to the aroma of the soup, and it is paired with the fresh flavor of spices. The more you eat the meat and the soup, the more delicious it becomes!
