Chapter 31 Tasting Evaluation
Fang Jin limped into the kitchen.

Yang Xingyu called his cousin enthusiastically, and Yang Qingshi and Fang Xiaomei also greeted him with smiles, especially Fang Xiaomei. Fang Jin was her natal nephew, and she was surprised when she suddenly saw her nephew coming to the door.

Only Yang Qingsi, who was not very good at people, remained silent. He just glanced sideways at Fang Jin. When he noticed that Fang Jin was walking with a slight limp, Yang Qingsi even had a disdainful smile on his lips.

"Hey, this roast duck is beautifully roasted! This roast duck will definitely sell well! It's so delicious!"

When Fang Jin saw the roast duck on the chopping board, his eyes lit up and he praised it loudly in surprise.

Although he is lame, his IQ and EQ are far superior to Yang Qingsi, and he knows when to say what to say to be popular.

"Brother, you came just in time! I'll chop up some roast duck and let's try it together. As soon as the first batch of roast duck came out of the pot, the neighbors were in a hurry to buy it. We haven't tasted it ourselves yet!"

Yang Xingyu said, took half a roast duck, put it on the chopping board, cut off half of it with one knife, threw the leg piece back into the stainless steel basin, and then cut the other half into dozens of pieces with a dozen swipes of the bone-chopping knife. The pieces were tasted by myself. He chopped them more casually and the pieces were slightly larger.

Get a porcelain plate, put the freshly chopped roast duck on the plate, pour some spicy oil and sesame oil on it, smash three garlics, chop them into minced garlic, sprinkle it on top of the roast duck, and sprinkle some cooked sesame seeds and chopped green onions. , pour some of the soup prepared previously.

He did it all with great skill.

Before his rebirth, although he had never cooked roast duck himself, he had done cutting, cooking, and spooning, and his knife skills were excellent. Cutting up a roast duck was nothing to him.

"Come! Mom, dad, lao lao, brother! Come here and have a try! Give me some opinions after you taste it."

Although he has not yet tasted the taste of the roast duck, he has tasted the taste of the soup when he prepared it.

Therefore, he is confident in the taste of today's roast duck.

In other words, when his cooking skills were at their peak, he could use seasonings to create whatever flavor he wanted.

At that time, after taking two bites of a dish, he could basically name all the seasonings and spices used in that dish.

But later...as he grew older and smoked more cigarettes, his sense of taste deteriorated a lot, and his grasp of the taste of dishes became less good.

At that time, he realized one thing - a good chef should not be exposed to tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco and alcohol will destroy the taste buds. Once the taste is destroyed, it is impossible to keep one's cooking skills from declining.

And this was one of the reasons why he decided to quit smoking after his rebirth.

Under Yang Xingyu's greeting, everyone came forward to taste with chopsticks.

Yang Qingshi was the first to taste it. He put a piece of roast duck into his mouth and took a bite, making a soft crackling sound. Yang Qingshi chewed it a few times, and several soft crackling sounds came from his mouth.

That was the sound of roast duck skin being chewed.

Yang Qingshi chewed and looked at his son blankly.

Fang Xiaomei was the second one to taste it. She also made a clicking sound in her mouth. After chewing only a few mouthfuls, she swallowed the roast duck in her mouth in surprise, spit out the bones, and said happily: "Yeah, yeah! It's delicious! It's really delicious." It’s delicious! It tastes great! It tastes much better than the roast duck sold in our village!”

Fang Jin and Yang Qingsi each picked a piece to taste.

Yang Qingsi doesn't know how to praise others, what he is best at is scolding.

Therefore, when he tasted the roast duck, Yang Qingsi just looked at his nephew Yang Xingyu in surprise without saying a word of praise.

And what about Fang Jin?

After chewing a piece of roast duck for a few times, Fang Jin's eyes lit up, he nodded and hummed several times.

After swallowing the roast duck and spitting out the bones, he praised repeatedly: "It's delicious! Really! Xiaoyu, your skills are amazing! This is definitely the best roast duck I have ever eaten in my entire life. The skin is so crispy." ! It’s fragrant and fresh, with the spiciness of chili oil and the aroma of garlic. Just with this taste, I can guarantee that your roast duck will sell well! Really, what I say is true!" Yang Xingyu was also there at this time. taste.

He had never cooked roast duck before, but after his rebirth, he dared to choose roast duck as the main dish of his own business. Naturally, it was because he was confident that he could make it taste above the standard.

Even if he can't make a dish that satisfies him for the time being, he doesn't worry because when he started his business several times before, he developed most of the dishes himself.

If you can't make it the first time, you can make it a second time. If you can't make it the second time, you can make it a third time... until you can make it the taste you are satisfied with.

This is also the habit of professional chefs to develop new dishes.

Not every dish is taught by the master.

Good professional chefs have the ability to develop new dishes and reversely research competitors' dishes.

A chef who has no ability to develop new dishes is not a good chef.

They are also chefs. Some chefs can only make ends meet, some can't even find a job, and some can earn hundreds of thousands or even millions a year. What's the difference?

The ability to develop new dishes is definitely an important difference.

When the duck meat entered the mouth, Yang Xingyu also heard the sound of crackling. The duck skin was indeed crispy. He was quite satisfied and the aroma was good. If he rubbed some salt and spice powder into the belly of the duck before frying, it should be OK. Improving some aroma can also make the duck meat more delicious.

But after thinking about it, he still felt that it was good as it was. The duck meat was a little less salty and spicy, but it could highlight the aroma of the roast duck itself.

Highlighting the taste of the ingredients itself has always been the essence of cooking.

A dish in which the flavor of the seasonings overwhelms the taste of the ingredients, no matter how delicious it is, is still evil, or so he, Yang Xingyu, thinks.

"Brother, since you are so optimistic, how do you plan to cooperate with me? Will you help me sell and you get a commission? Or will you buy from me and be responsible for your own profits and losses?"

Before Yang Xingyu finished speaking, Fang Jin smiled and said, "Of course I want to buy the goods from you and sell them myself, but you have to tell me first, what price can you give me if I buy the goods from you?"

Yang Xingyu pondered slightly, "The retail price I just sold to my neighbors is 15 yuan per catty. You are my brother. If you really decide to buy from me for a long time, I will give you 12 yuan per catty. Other braised vegetables, I’ll also give you a cheaper price for the cold dishes, how about it? There’s no need to talk about the price, right? The retail price of roast duck outside is only 18.”

"12..."

Fang Jin murmured softly, the smile on his face became a little brighter, and he nodded vigorously, "Fine! The price is acceptable, then I will purchase from you in the future. Happy cooperation! Hehe."

Seeing his statement like this, the three members of Yang Xingyu's family all laughed.

Yang Qingsi frowned, looking at this and that, without smiling, because this matter had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, another voice came from outside the kitchen door.

"Xiaomei! Xiaomei! I heard that your family started selling roast duck today? It costs 15 yuan per pound, right? I heard it tastes good! We are also here to take care of your business. Where is the person? Xiaomei? Xiaomei, you are in the kitchen In?"

Before he finished speaking, two women in their 50s and [-]s appeared at the door of the kitchen together.

It seems like the first wave of word of mouth has spread.

Yang Xingyu's family all smiled.
