Chapter 140 exam in progress

"I won't repeat it if it's redundant. The exam time is two hours! Alright, the exam begins!" Lin Yong announced the start of the exam.

Jiang Yang walked quickly to the ingredients area and picked out the ingredients he needed.

The ingredients to be selected for this dish are very simple. There are only two main ingredients, one is potatoes and the other is beef.

After taking the ingredients, Jiang Yang selected some seasonings and spices, and brought them back to the stove.

The next step is processing, the processing of ingredients, seasonings, and spices.

Jiang Yang brought a steamer this time. He cut the potatoes into small pieces, put them in a pot, and then put the pot into the steamer.

After that, he started to process the beef. Jiang Yang chose the sirloin, which has less tendons, so it won't affect the taste later.

Wash the beef and cut it into shreds with a knife. The fiber of beef is very thick, so it is very difficult to slice it thinly.A real master can cut the beef to the extent that the light can pass through.

This is also a famous dish - the knife skill requirements of Dengying Beef.

Jiangyang's knife skills have not yet reached that level, so he can only settle for the next best thing, and cut a little thicker.But generally the beef will shrink, Jiang Yang is not worried that it will not be thin enough.

Cutting beef shreds is a huge project. It needs to be cut thinly and evenly.Jiang Yang was concentrating on it, so he couldn't have the slightest distraction at this time.

Xu Gaowei has been paying attention to Jiang Yang in the audience. After seeing Jiang Yang's knife skills, he couldn't help smiling bitterly.This Jiang Yang's knife skills are much better than his own, as expected, God is sometimes unfair.

Xu Gaowei was not discouraged either, he was actually not a pure chef anymore, and most of his thoughts had been put on the management of the restaurant these years.There are also chefs recruited in the kitchen, which makes him seldom specialize in cooking.

Xu Zheng has also been paying attention to Jiang Yang, especially when Jiang Yang shows off his knife skills, Xu Zheng can't help showing a smile on his face.

He could see that Jiang Yang had no contact with the waste knife workers on weekdays.Otherwise, it has only been more than four months since Paoding learned how to master the knife, and his knife skills cannot be quite different from before.

Xu Zheng was somewhat moved by Jiang Yang's talent. He could tell that Jiang Yang's Pao Ding Jie Niu Dao was a beginner.You know, he learned Pao Ding Jie Niu Dao back then, but it took three years to get started, so this is already considered good.But Jiangyang has only been around for more than four months, less than half a year, and Paoding Jie Niu Dao has started.

Lin Yong looked back at Xu Zheng, seeing the latter's expression of emotion and pride, Lin Yong turned his head and did not speak to him.

God knows how this old boy Xu Zheng will be so embarrassing, there is no way, who said that Jiang Yang's knife skills were taught by Xu Zheng?
Lin Yong is someone who knows Jiang Yang's situation better. He knows Jiang Yang's talent, so he is not surprised at the moment.

Zeng Xianjun glanced at the stage indifferently at first. He is also considered a culinary genius. Although he is 29, he can definitely be regarded as the young batch among many chefs.

When he saw Jiang Yang's knife skills, his eyes froze.Although this person's knife skills are not as good as his own, the gap is not too big, and he looks younger than himself.Enemy!A word suddenly appeared in Zeng Xianjun's mind, and his originally indifferent expression suddenly became serious.

Zeng Xianjun came from a family of chefs. His father was a second-level chef, but unfortunately he failed the first-level chef exam.

Zeng Xianjun was very interested in cooking since he was a child. After he grew up, he realized that he was very talented in knife skills.So I have been practicing knife skills hard, but I haven't worked hard in other aspects.

Zeng Xianjun has always been proud of his knife skills. He is confident that no one in his generation can surpass him in terms of knife skills.But when he saw Jiang Yang today, he felt a rare sense of threat in his heart.

Jiang Yang didn't have time to pay attention to the thoughts of these people below. He had already cut the shredded beef and was ready to start the second step.

Jiang Yang opened the steamer and tried the softness of the potatoes, but it was still a little bit worse, so Jiang Yang continued to cover the steamer.

Put the shredded beef on a plate, add appropriate amount of cooking wine, green onion, ginger, salt and other seasonings to remove the peculiar smell of beef.

The proportion of the spices was already matched when Jiang Yang selected the spices. Jiang Yang did not wrap the spices with gauze, but put them on a plate for preparation.

After a while, Jiang Yang turned on the steamer again and tried the softness of the potatoes, this time it was all right.

Take out the pot containing the potatoes and mash the potatoes into a mash with the rolling pin prepared in advance.Soon, the potatoes became muddy. Jiang Yang rubbed them with his hands, and there were no coarse particles.

Jiang Yang put seasoning into the mashed potatoes for seasoning, then turned the mashed potatoes in one direction and kept stirring to increase the stickiness of the mashed potatoes.

After the mashed potatoes were sticky enough, Jiang Yang took out the mashed potatoes and put them on the chopping board.Sprinkle with flour and put mashed potatoes on top.The purpose of this layer of flour is to prevent the mashed potatoes from sticking to the chopping board.

Jiang Yang also sprinkled a layer of flour on the rolling pin, and then rolled the mashed potatoes like dough.After the mashed potatoes formed a layer like dough, Jiang Yang sprinkled another layer of flour on top.

Mashed potatoes are always different from flour. Mashed potatoes are not as sticky or extensible as flour. It is impossible for Jiang Yang to roll mashed potatoes as thin as real dough.

However, this thickness is not bad. After dozens of practice, Jiang Yang found the best thickness.It will neither fall apart at the first touch nor be scary thick.

After the mashed potatoes were rolled out, Jiang Yang took out the beef that had been marinated for a while, and arranged them on the mashed potatoes.This is a meticulous job, don't be impatient, and don't shake your hands.

This is a very critical step. If this is not done well, then this dish will fail.

After the shredded beef was arranged, Jiang Yang turned over the mashed potatoes and wrapped the shredded beef.Become a long strip of things.

After the two ends were sealed, Jiang Yang took out the carving knife. He didn't intend to carve anything, but to cut the cylindrical potato into a cuboid.

It is also very important to be steady here, and you cannot cut to expose the shredded beef inside.

After these are done, Jiang Yang starts the pan and heats the oil. When the oil temperature is about [-]%, put the spices prepared in advance into the oil pan, and fry them until they are fragrant. Then take them out.Then put the prepared potatoes down, fry them quickly and pick them up, this is for shaping.

Then fry it again to make the potato skin crispy.

It wasn't until after all these were done that Jiang Yang came out of that state of concentration.

He didn't know who he was, anyway, when he looked at other places on the stage, there were already many empty places.

He didn't know if anyone passed before him, and how many people passed.

In fact, before Jiangyang, someone passed by, but only one person.It's still the same cruel pass rate, even more cruel than what is said on the Internet.

Jiang Yang took the prepared dishes and walked towards the jury step by step.

When Lin Yong saw Jiang Yang approaching, his eyes showed curiosity and anticipation.He hoped that Jiang Yang could bring him surprises, and he also hoped that he could send out that letter of recommendation.

Xu Zheng glanced at Jiang Yang approvingly. As one of Jiang Yang's teachers, he was very happy to see Jiang Yang's achievements.

Yes, it is very possible for Jiang Yang to be able to walk to the site of the first-level chef exam.As for passing the first-level chef exam, Xu Zheng didn't expect much.

He doesn't deny Jiang Yang's talent, but it's a pity that Jiang Yang's study time is too short, no matter how talented he is, it is very difficult to pass the first-level chef exam.

"Tell me about your dishes." Lin Yong looked at Jiang Yang and said.
