Food starts with Mapo Tofu

In the end, what they tasted first was the aged squirrel mandarin fish. After all, such a lively appearance is indeed more attractive.

When Tonio saw this scene, he knew that he had already lost half of the game, but he thought to himself, if it were him, he would probably taste the dish made by Chen Nian first.

At the moment when the chopsticks touched the body of the squirrel mandarin fish, they could feel the crispy outer layer, and the so-called squirrel mandarin fish's fur, which was cut into a long diamond shape, was completely fixed in shape after being fried.

At that moment, they also felt the thickness of the shallow layer of sauce outside, but at this time, it was still steaming because it had just been poured on it.

But even though the outer shell has been deep-fried, it can be poked in with chopsticks lightly, just like paper paste, but this just shows that Chen Nian used the right heat when frying.

One point more is excellent, one point less is soft.

This can't help but surprise them.

Putting the chopsticks together, they also took a piece of fish. The closer to the mouth, the more you can feel the sweetness on it. Don't think about it, it must be the sauce made with tomato, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and other seasonings. .

The quality of this dish of squirrel mandarin fish depends not only on its shape and cooking skills, but the most important thing is the juice.

The taste of the fish itself is not very strong, it only has a very fresh bottom taste, so whatever the taste of the sauce is, the taste of the fish will be what it tastes like.

Immediately after entering the mouth, the soup that was originally wrapped on the fish touched their taste buds immediately.

The sweet and sour feeling carried a hint of fragrance, which made the tip of the tongue, which had been hit hard just now, suddenly start to jump for joy.

When chewing for the first time, you can feel the crispness of the outer layer coated with starch and fried in the pan, and you can even hear the slight crunching sound. You must know that the outer layer is covered with a layer of sauce.

In this way, it becomes even more obvious that the aging has a high degree of precision for the heat and oil temperature.

"It's not like a chef who just entered the industry at all. What can be cooked is an experienced chef who has been cooking for more than ten years with such precise skills." They began to discuss in low voices.

"Yeah, I'm not very good at cooking this kind of dish, even if I'm asked to cook, it's not necessarily better than him."

"Genius is a genius, but he is too young. I guess he doesn't have many dishes in his hands. This is always a big shortcoming.".

After eating, each of them had an answer in their hearts. Although there was still one dish left to eat, if Chen Nian really missed this opportunity right now, that would be the greatest injustice.

Because sometimes the evaluation of a chef depends on his age in addition to his taste.

And Chen Nian is undoubtedly too young. If Chen Nian is 20 years older now, he may be able to break the rules and get the opportunity to go directly to the third floor to become a red-collar chef on the spot.

And Mr. Huo also looked at Chen Nian with a trace of curiosity. He himself has apprentices, and he is currently one of those red-collar chefs, and Chen Nian is actually relatively young.

Looks like he's in his early twenties.

But Chen Nian's talent really moved him a little.

Finally, after thinking about it, he decided not to think about it for the time being.

At this time, a white chef took out the fish made by Tonio with a spoon, and then cut it with a knife and fork.

This dish is obviously the way of Western food, so it is natural to eat it in the way of Western food.

Putting the chopsticks aside, they took the forks again, and each of them took apart a piece of fish and put it in their mouths.

It also has a strong tomato aroma, but this taste is completely different from the taste made by the old age. If the old age has been de-tomatoized when making the sauce, then this is more like the original tomato itself. Authentic.

After the mackerel is fried, it will also produce a burnt aroma, and the inside is naturally fresh and tender. You can even feel the delicious juice wrapped in the inside of the fish when chewing.

The handful of chopped parsley sprinkled at the end is obviously the finishing touch, which improves the overall taste by [-]%.

Obviously, this dish is quite delicious, and it can be regarded as a somewhat classic dish, but some improvements have been made on the basis of the original countryside.

But this improvement is clearly a success.

Tonio is just as good.

After tasting all the dishes, they have an answer on who to order.

Finally, Mr. Huo announced.

"The next one who will become the new blue-collar chef is Chen Nian, and all the benefits will be given according to the blue-collar chef." After speaking, he looked at Chen Nian alone, "Someone will arrange a new place for you later, you Just move in and live there, and at that time you still need to write down some of the dishes you are good at, after all, every chef is good at different dishes, and we have to update the outside menu."

Chen Nian nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Huo..."

In fact, Chen Nian is very sure this time. If they were to participate in the competition now, those young chefs might have a master who is the chef of the state banquet. Or his vision is stronger than his own.

Moreover, those dishes in the competition are usually not made by Chen Nian, so there is a possibility of losing to those people who are old, but if you compete with yourself here, it is a group of bitter people, at most There is a family of origin.

Just like Tonio.

But it is also impossible to have master-level apprentices to compete with him. They have reached that point, how can they value this place?

It's just that although Chen Nian despised the enemy strategically, he paid special attention to the enemy tactically.

After becoming a blue-collar chef in one fell swoop, Chen Nian naturally has more say in this ship.

Turning his head to look at Tonio, to be honest, Chen Nian’s mood is a bit complicated. He knows that Tonio actually boarded this ship with lofty ambitions. Maybe Tonio is more like a romanticist than himself. By.

Although they haven't known each other for a long time, they have become close friends on this ship.

But I just beat him.

Even if Chen Nian thinks that he won in the open and aboveboard, sometimes such things are hard to say.

It is a matter of future. How many people have turned against each other because of this word?

But when he and Tonio looked at each other, he didn't see any complicated emotions in the other's eyes, but instead saw joy in the other's eyes.

The other party stepped forward quickly, and then gave Chen Nian a big hug: "Congratulations, Chen! From today on, you are a chef here, but although I lost to you this time, I will definitely Will catch up with you!"

When Chen Nian heard this, he couldn't help but raised his hand and patted the other person's back: "I'll wait for you, you will be fine."

He didn't say anything out of self-effacement, but just said such a sentence lightly.

After the two separated, Chen Nian and Tonio raised their hands almost at the same time.

"What else do you have?"

"I want to taste the dish he made just now." Chen Nian said first.

Mr. Huo nodded, this kind of request is nothing.

"Me too." Tonio followed closely.

In the end, Chen Nian and Tonio tasted each other's dishes separately, and Tonio showed an expression of sudden realization. At this moment, he felt that he didn't lose at all.

The aging is to taste some different tastes from it.

Because he has never cooked like this before, and he found that this method of western food still has some merits.

This discovery even made Chen Nian feel a little ready to move about Western food. He really likes to come into contact with such new things.

"This taste is very strange. I would like to ask you some cooking methods of Western food when I have a chance in the future." Chen Nian said voluntarily.

"Of course, my friend, I welcome you to come to me anytime." Tonio said with a smile.

At this moment, Mr. Huo thought about it again: "Tonio, you should be called by this name. I don't think you should just stay here with your ability. From tomorrow onwards, you can go to the restaurant above. Go to the restaurant above. Being a kitchen assistant should improve you a bit.”

"Really?" Tonio's face suddenly showed surprise, which was indeed a surprise for him.

Even if you are just a helper, but the chefs you serve are different, and the vision is naturally different, and sometimes it will be natural if you watch too much.

And Chen Nian was also happy for this friend: "Congratulations, maybe you will walk faster than me next time."

Chen Nian knows Tonio's heart. For a person who can decide to give up the restaurant he can inherit at home in order to get on this ship, and instead work on this ship for a lifetime, he naturally doesn't want to just be at the bottom.

But these two people were happy, but there was no joy on the faces of the others, because after these few days, they basically got to know the two newcomers who had just boarded the ship, but these two newcomers , A few days after boarding the ship, one transformed into a blue-collar chef one level above them, and the other directly became a help cook in the third-floor kitchen.

You must know that not only the work is easier than here, but also the people you contact are different, and more importantly, the salary will be higher.

How can this make them jealous?

But the one with the most unsightly face was undoubtedly Master Huang.

Now his subordinates were relying on Chen Nian and Tonio the most, the other two were simply old bastards, unbearable, and he had asked Chen Nian to do a lot of work in the past few days, and they were used to In the days when Chen Nian was his helper, now Chen Nian has transformed into a chef with equal status to him.

And Tonio was also transferred to another restaurant, which meant that his subordinates returned to the time when there were only two old bastards.

If the helper does not do well, the chef will naturally suffer. Otherwise, if he is also bad, then he will quit as a chef. As long as there is someone who can replace him, he will be asked to leave immediately.

How can Master Huang be reconciled to this?
But what happened today was completely unexpected to him. If Mr. Huo had asked if anyone under your command could take up this position before that, Master Huang would not stand up and say that I have two suitable candidates.

But just after the show ended, Chen Nian found him: "Master Huang, I won't be able to help you from tomorrow on.".

"It's okay, everyone has their own future, I'm glad you can do this." Master Huang said with a smile, "I saw early in the morning that you are not an ordinary person. After you moved here tonight, we are not far away. You can come to me if you need anything.”

Although I feel extremely unhappy and extremely unhappy, I still have to save face.

"Master Huang, you're being polite. I've kept your help during this period in mind. If there's anything I can do to help, feel free to ask." Chen Nian also nodded and said heartily.

But in fact, what he did was just a formality. After all, after following Master Huang for a few days, Chen Nian knew very well what kind of person the other party was. Everyone here was just a colleague.

But at the beginning, the other party did not directly assign Chen Nian to do the most unskilled and boring work, but stayed with him, and Chen Nian also had to accept the other party's affection.

Then the crowd dispersed, and they went back to their respective rooms.

After Chen Nian and Tonio went back, they started to pack their things, but when the other two roommates came back, the expressions on their faces were completely different from before.

"You have a lot of things, or we can help you move it. After all, you will be moving soon, and the road is still quite far."

"Yeah, you just came here not long ago, and we are usually busy with work, so we didn't have a good communication. In the end, you are going to become famous."

Looking at the appearance of these two people, Chen Nian and Tony glanced at each other, feeling a little funny.

No one asks for a lonely life, is it like this once the world is rich and honored?
"No need, there aren't many things, I'll do it myself." Chen Nian declined their proposal, and then saw the regretful expressions on the faces of the two.

Even the Southeast Asian looked at the Indian with a complaining look.

Not long after staying in the room, after they packed up their things, a middle-aged man in a suit came to them.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Tony, my name is Maddie, and I am Mr. Huo's assistant in life. I wonder if you two have packed up? I will take you to a new place to stay now."

The other party spoke Chinese with a Fujian accent, but spoke extremely fluently.

Chen Nian had never seen so many Chinese-speaking foreigners before, and he learned a lot after he boarded this ship.

So he nodded: "It's packed, you can go now."

In fact, the two of them didn't have much luggage, and they just followed McGrady away.

On the way, Chen Nian asked curiously: "Mr. McGrady, I know that there is a rigid requirement for the service personnel on board, that is, they must be able to speak at least two languages, but I feel that the person who can understand us is the most important person." mostly……"
