Chapter 7 The True Pursuit of a Chef

Time is passing by slowly, and it will not stop his rushing footsteps because of someone.

At this time, the setting sun is already under the cover of high-rise buildings, bidding farewell to people reluctantly, and at the same time selflessly giving her last ray of afterglow to mankind. The competition has officially ended, and it is time for the jury to taste delicious food .

In addition to Mr. Han Ruofeng, the chairman of the jury, the judges of this competition also include Aunt Li, the proprietress from a small shop, and Aunt Zhao, who sells vegetables on the street.Uncle Wang who repairs shoes, and finally Shui Ling, a young white-collar worker.

At some point in time, the news spread that the two chefs were having a life-and-death battle in the Perfect Restaurant of Jinghua Small Store, which not only attracted more people who watched the excitement, eating melons.

It even attracted Zhaohua News, the leader of the news industry in city b.

No, the beautiful reporter who is presiding over the competition is called Sun Jingjing. Although she looks very young, she is already an old reporter with five years of work experience. It's from the Chinese newspaper industry.

It seems that Tang Tang is destined to become famous this time. He already has many fans. No, in just half a day, the crowd at the entrance of the restaurant has already pulled up a banner, which reads, Tang Tang, Tang Tang, I love you , like words like mice love rice.

People are amazed by the development of modern technology. It is easy to know a person's name, occupation, home address, and contact information. Therefore, the author here reminds readers to be careful of telecom fraud.

Accidentally pulled away, the following is the author's effort to get back to the topic:
"There are two dishes on the table. One is the squirrel mandarin fish made by Chef Zhao Hongliang from Wangyueju. This is the signature dish of Wangyueju. The reporter had the honor to eat it. It is indeed delicious."

"The other one is a double-sided wax gourd cup made by Tang Tang, the owner of Perfect Restaurant. However, because the lid inside is tightly sealed, no smell leaks out, so it's hard for me to judge."

It has to be said that a professional is a professional. A few words from a beautiful reporter aroused the enthusiasm of the audience.

"Let's invite the judges to taste these two dishes, welcome with applause." Under the warm applause, the judges joyfully extended their chopsticks to the first dish - squirrel mandarin fish.

Wow, delicious, really delicious, worthy of being a great chef, the meat is smooth and tender, as if it melted directly in the mouth, and there is still a taste in the mouth, Uncle Wang, who repairs shoes, first published his own Opinion.

Immediately afterwards, the group of aunts and aunts also praised again and again, and they were very excited. Even Mr. Han nodded slowly.

This scene couldn't help but make Zhao Hongliang very happy. In his opinion, God of Cooking's approval showed that he had already performed supernormally, and then he looked at Tang Tang provocatively, as if he had already won.

Tang Tang ignored him, looked at the judges who were still thinking about it, stretched out his hand to the lid of the wax gourd cup, and slowly opened it.

Suddenly, a domineering fragrance lingered in the entire restaurant, causing everyone in the restaurant to close their eyes, indulging in this unearthly fragrance, not only the meaty fragrance of chicken legs, the fresh fragrance of shiitake mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots, There is also the fragrance of wax gourd itself.

The most commendable thing is that the fragrance of winter melon itself is actually very easy to be covered by other ingredients, but this Buddhist double-sided winter melon cup is not only not covered, but uses this fragrance of winter melon as a carrier to express the taste of other ingredients .

In this way, after the judges tasted the fragrance of winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and the deliciousness of ham and diced chicken, the fragrance that lingered on the tip of their tongues made them feel refreshed and mouth-watering.

It's delicious, it's still Uncle Wang, but the reaction is very strange, I seem to taste the taste of my wife's Yangchun noodles from this winter melon cup.

Just when everyone thought that Uncle Wang had a broken tongue, he could still taste the noodles after eating a winter melon cup, but then Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li also said that they tasted the taste they often eat.

This made everyone a bit puzzled, why did the people who finished eating the winter melon cup have such a strange reaction, so they all turned their attention to the most respected and respected old man here.

At this moment, Elder Han was closing his eyes tightly, a tear slipped quietly across his weather-beaten cheeks, and Elder Han's body was trembling slightly, as if controlling his emotions auspiciously.

And Zhao Hongliang and others were even more surprised. This stir-fried dish, you say it is delicious, and you say it is not delicious. Why do you have so many strange reactions?

After a while, Mr. Han seemed to have controlled his emotions. At this time, Sun Jingjing hurriedly handed over a tissue, "Hehe, I made everyone laugh. Old man, I remembered some things from the past."

"I declare that this winter melon cup is the winner, and the winner of this competition is Xiao Tang, the owner of Perfect Restaurant." Hearing this, Li Yang almost cried out.When Mr. Han came out suddenly, not only Zhao Hongliang was stunned, but even Li Yang didn't react.

But one thing is certain, that is, he won the bet, and that Zhao Hongliang will get out of Wangyue Residence.

"Impossible, I don't accept it, why should I say that I lost, how could this young brat win me, what a joke." Zhao Hongliang had already recovered from his stupefied state.

His brain had started to process information normally, so when he realized that he had lost, his first reaction was that it was impossible. From the very beginning, Zhao Hongliang didn't take Tang Tang seriously.

In his opinion, it was just that Li Yang rushed to the doctor because of his illness. Who knew that this kid really won against him, so his first reaction was to think that this was impossible, and there was something shady about this match.

At this moment, Mr. Han suddenly yelled, "Enough is enough. If a chef can't face up to his own level, he will never make progress. Are you still a chef? If you lose, you will question and refuse to admit it. You're an embarrassment to the cook."

Old Han said this with a blue face, in his opinion.A chef can only improve if he can recognize his own shortcomings and admit his shortcomings.Excessive pride and arrogance will only lose yourself and make you grow without size.

He has seen too many so-called geniuses, who are praised too much by the surroundings, and as a result, they cannot recognize themselves, are immersed in the past honors and cannot extricate themselves, and in the end they can only be lost in the crowd.

"Try it yourself. Boss Xiaotang's winter melon cup, once you taste it, you will know why he won."

Although Zhao Hongliang was so reprimanded by Mr. Han that he didn't dare to speak out, he still thought in his heart that it was impossible for him to lose to that brat. What kind of person is Mr. Han? With his eyes, he would not be able to see what Zhao Hongliang was thinking. Are you still upset?

"This, this smell is, no, how is it possible, absolutely not," Zhao Hongliang murmured with disbelief all over his face, this is the right kind of smell.This is Zhao Hongliang's reaction after tasting the winter melon cup.

First of all, the fragrance of wax gourd fills the mouth, followed by the flavors of various fillings as colorful as cherry blossoms, making people feel like they are in a rainbow. Several different flavors are perfectly blended together, but they can It's just incredible to be able to clearly tell what ingredient that flavor belongs to.

But this was just the beginning, and then came the fragrance of winter melon, which was like a silk thread, connecting all kinds of flavors together, and then Zhao Hongliang seemed to taste the taste of his first cooking.

Although it is said that it is not fully cooked, it is the first time in my life that I have practiced cutting countless vegetables and vegetables. Although the taste is green, it will be engraved in my heart and will never be forgotten. .

When Zhao Hongliang didn't know it, tears had already fallen quietly, and he was still intoxicated by the incredible taste, and knew nothing about it.

"I believe you have tasted it too. Boss Xiao Tang's wax gourd cup not only tastes to the extreme, but also evokes the most unforgettable delicacy hidden deep in each of us. This is the highest state of cooking."

"The profession of chef is not only for people to eat, that is the lowest level. A real chef is for people to feel happy and happy. So countless ancestors have gone on and worked hard for this goal."

"It's a pity that today's young people only have interests in their eyes, and they have long forgotten the pursuit that their ancestors worked hard for all their lives, alas."

Mr. Han's long sigh made all the young people present lower their proud heads at work and in the workplace, wishing to find a hole in the ground and get into it.

Of course, this situation does not include Tang Tang. He is still as cold and joking as ever. As an orphan who has struggled in society since he was a teenager, he has long since known what pride is.

"Okay, let me announce that the winner of this competition is the owner Tang Tang from Perfect Restaurant. Everyone applauds and encourages."

With the sound of applause, this competition, which started in a daze, attracted the attention of so many people, and even attracted the Chaohua Metropolis Daily, and finally came to an end.

The background of the ending is Li Yang's complex eyes and Zhao Hongliang's downcast back. This pair of good brothers who used to be in love with each other in the business field finally broke up because of the entanglement in reality.
