Tang Zhihun's character is indeed good. The chef industry is quite conservative and few people are willing to support newcomers.
I wish I could order something and control it for the rest of my life.
It would be better if all our colleagues die from the plague.
Zhang Wei was often made things difficult for him back then, and he hated those kind of people.
"When you are an apprentice, you are a grandson. After you learn, you become a grandson in life."
This is Zhang Wei’s evaluation of the entire industry when he was studying art.
According to their conception, it is best for you to never learn anything in your life, work as a chef in the back kitchen, and receive the salary of a handyman.
"In terms of character alone, the soul of soup is worth teaching."
"You have been begging me for half a year, and your sincerity is definitely enough."
Learning skills must be done sincerely and at a certain price.
Knowledge gained easily will not be respected.
Leaving the kitchen in the high-end area, Zhang Wei took out the animal skins and paints and wrote some theories on them.
What Zhang Wei is most proud of is his out-of-this-world ingredient matching theory.
Perhaps due to the overabundance of food resources, the development of food in this world is very superficial. They only know how to pursue high-grade ingredients instead of starting from the details.
Speaking of which, it's a bit like Western food in previous lives.
Focus on highlighting the freshness and taste of the ingredients themselves, focusing on knife skills, presentation, etc.
Oriental chefs such as Zhang Wei pay more attention to the balance of seasonings and ingredients, using different flavor combinations to form complex flavors, elevating the deliciousness to an extremely high level.
Afraid that Tang Zhihun might not understand it, Zhang Wei also gave specific examples and included several recipes.
If done perfectly, the taste will be far better than Lingxi Wuqin Soup!
And the materials used are just ordinary ingredients of level three or five.
"Just teach this point first. If you teach too much, you won't be able to fully understand it."
"If you can learn these things, Tang Zhihun's cooking skills will be at least one level higher."
…………
…
Returning from the kitchen, Tang Zhihun had a tired look on his face.
"Sigh... There is no improvement at all. No matter how many times you repeat it, the taste will not improve at all."
"Maybe I should try different ingredients, but freshly squeezed orange juice is not suitable..."
"Maybe I can try to give up."
Tang Zhihun is under great pressure, and it's good to have good results. If he ranks at the bottom of the Northland Chef's Feast, both the organization and the individual will suffer great losses.
However, the contestants are all top chefs from all walks of life, and each has prepared their own special skills. The probability of overturning is extremely high.
If you want to avoid overturning, unless every draw is a soup-making competition, but that is obviously impossible.
"Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up! Otherwise, I would still..."
Thinking of the president's earnest expression, the corner of Tang Zhihun's mouth twitched.
Sometimes, it's just too hard to say no to others.
"President, you don't understand me, I'm really not good at it!"
I sat paralyzed in my room and felt melancholy. Although I knew it was useless to worry, practicing in the kitchen was equally useless.
Tang Zhihun felt that he had reached a dead end.
Coming to the bookshelf, Tang Zhihun looked for some illustrations of rare ingredients. Changing his mind might make him feel better.
"what is this?"
On the bookcase, a thick roll of animal skin is placed on top, which is incompatible with other paper books and periodicals.
Opening up the animal skin, the fine small characters are neatly arranged.
There are also a lot of food illustrations below, which are very appetizing even if you look at them.
Tang Zhhun watched line after line.
The slightly squinted eyes kept widening, and in the end they almost popped out!
"This is...this is..."
"Reply from that mysterious expert!"
“It’s been half a year, and finally you replied to me!”
Tang Zhihun's hands trembled slightly. No one can understand this feeling until they reach the dead end!
The future of the entire association rests on my shoulders, and I don’t know how many hairs have turned gray these days.
Get rid of distracting thoughts, the more Tang Zhihun looks at it, the more shocked he becomes!
What is written on the scroll is almost deviant and exaggerated.
"Using level 5 ingredients can taste better than level 15 ingredients?"
"How is this possible? The level of taste is already determined by nature."
"And this Thirteen Fragrances, I have never heard of it. It requires so many spices. With so many flavors, which one should be highlighted?"
The more Tang Zhihun thought about it, the more something seemed wrong, but it seemed to make sense.
"No, I have to try!"
Although he had worked hard all day, Tang Zhihun was not sleepy at all, so he rushed into the kitchen with the stove turned on.
Zhang Wei passed by the door and nodded lightly.
"Diligence is commendable."
Zhang Wei has never stopped working hard like this.
Even with the treasure palace in hand, he never relaxes for a day.
The soul of soup was in the kitchen, constantly making exclamations.
"The taste...has really improved!"
"It turns out that the proportion needs to change according to the ingredients..."
"High-quality ingredients have more subtle changes, but only by grasping this subtlety can we reach a higher level!"
Tang Zhihun was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
The pressure of so many days suddenly relaxed, causing this honest cook to collapse directly to the ground.
…………
…
Collection Hall.
Ever since Mo Du left, I felt like something was missing.
When he was bored in the past, Zhang Wei often went to the side hall to tease her.
"The ingredients are almost together, we can try the fourth version of the clear soup."
Flames rose under the giant bronze cauldron, and the kitchen utensils on the side were all giant models.
There are nine kinds of soup in the Tongding series.
They are golden soup, milk soup, clear soup, beautiful soup, vegetarian soup, hairy soup, medicinal soup, dragon and phoenix soup, and two soups.
Among them, the raw soup and the vegetarian soup have reached perfection due to abundant ingredients, and Zhang Wei is currently conquering the clear soup.
As the most low-key connotation among the nine soup types, the clear soup is frighteningly difficult.
It must be made of high-end materials without giving off a luxurious nouveau riche feel, and the taste must be tranquil and far-reaching, symbolizing unity.
In terms of nutrition, Zhang Wei chose the eggs of the devil snake. The egg white can clean the impurities in the soup, and the egg yolk powder can adjust the taste.
In terms of flavor, ice cliff snow lotus and some flowers and plants are added.
The choice of meat is also chicken rack and lean meat, avoiding greasiness, and even some legumes with high oil content are excluded.
In addition to egg whites, you also need to wrap minced meat, ginger, garlic...with gauze and put them into a copper tripod to absorb impurities.
This step is called the soup, and some high-end dishes require the soup to be cooked twice.
Zhang Wei's clear soup needs to go through the art of refined eating in the end. If there are impurities in the soup, the original taste of the clear soup will be greatly affected.
If it is a golden soup with a strong flavor, you don’t have to worry about it at all, but in a clear soup, this effect is extremely fatal.
The time has come.
"The material selection this time was extremely careful. Three main ingredients were replaced and four ingredients were also eliminated."
"In addition to those obtained in the wild, more main ingredients are provided by large glaciers."
