Chapter 1627: The tiny bit of winningTranslator: 549690339

“Fast and precise speed.” Looking at Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills, Wang Jike muttered to himself.
Like Wang Qiang and the other three, Wang Jike also looked at Yuan Zhou while he was cooking.
Among them, Wang Qiang paid attention to his father from time to time because he knew that according to his father’s liking, he would definitely correct others if he saw any small problems.
This was the master chef Restaurant. Wang Qiang was afraid that if his father spoke too loudly, the five of them wouldn’t be able to walk out of the restaurant.
However, until Zhou Jia served the dishes one by one, Wang Jike didn’t open his mouth, not even a comment.
Wang Qiang, who was trembling with fear, suddenly understood. He felt that he had become a little silly because of his father’s arrival. If Yuan Zhou still had some minor details that needed to be corrected, he wouldn’t be Yuan Zhou.
“After all, Yuan Zhou is known as the compass of cooking. He can draw circles to test his cooking level.” Wang Qiang’s heart was also full of activity.
When a person became famous, many rumors would change. For example, Yuan Zhou was a very strict person, so Yin ya gave him the nickname of compass.
Nowadays, people outside were saying “compass” because boss Yuan’s cooking skills were self-contained and his skills were as accurate as a compass.
Before the dishes arrived, the fragrance came first. Just the fragrance alone was enough to make one’s appetite rise.
When Wang Jike saw the Trident served in front of him, he didn’t delay for a moment. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating directly. The other two dishes paid attention to the roasting process of the fire, and the seasoning was slightly inferior to that of the barbecued duck and barbecued Pomfret.
For master chefs like him and Yuan Zhou, it was impossible for this part to have any flaws. Therefore, Wang Jike first ate the barbecued Chinese perch and the barbeque recipe.
Wang Jike was very restrained. The barbeque recipe was according to the traditional sweet flour sauce, white onion, pepper salt, and hollow steamed buns.
It was soft and sticky when eaten, and it had a different taste when matched with the crispy and oily pig skin and the soft and tender rib meat.
“Oh, the heat control, knife skills, and seasoning are excellent. They’re on par with me.” With this thought in mind, Wang Jike restrained the urge to take another bite and then reached out his chopsticks to the barbecued Chinese perch.
Naturally, the taste of the barbeque Pomfret did not disappoint Wang Jike. It had reached the peak of what this dish could achieve. The exterior was golden like the noon sun, the oil was bright and shiny, and the fresh and tender fish inside had a Jade-like color. Once it was opened, the fragrance assailed the nose.
Wang Jike first tasted the original flavor, then picked up a piece of beluga with its skin and gently dipped it in the sauce on the plate beside him.
The fresh, tender, and crispy fish meat, after being dipped in the sauce and vinegar, had the unique deliciousness of crabs.
“Not bad.” Wang Jike nodded to himself and then turned his eyes to the last dish, barbecued duck.
In fact, when one first ate the Yangzhou Trident, the chef would first show the Trident to the guests, then take out the fork in front of everyone and cut it into pieces for everyone to eat.
Nowadays, even Wang Jike rarely did that. But just now, Yuan Zhou strictly followed this old tradition and did it in front of them.
The last dish was the barbecued duck. In fact, Wang Jike had higher expectations for this dish.
The reason was that this dish required pig fat to be added to the duck meat. If the pig fat was not added, the duck meat would be too dry and lose its rich fragrance.
However, due to the rapid progress of modern society and the rapid increase in diet, people no longer preferred oily food. Therefore, the problem of this dish was how to make it rich and greasy, and how to be acceptable.
Of course, after so many years of research, Wang Jike had naturally solved it. But he wanted to see how Yuan Zhou would solve this problem.
After all, not only did the meat of the roast duck need to be mixed with pig fat, but the outer layer also needed to be wrapped in lard, fried, and roasted.
Now, the roast duck was cut into pieces and placed on a plate. On one side of the plate was sweet flour sauce and on the other side was translucent red tomato sauce.
Wang Jike picked up a piece of roasted duck with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
The outer layer of the Golden crispy crust instantly softened when it came into contact with the warm mouth, emitting the fragrance of the fried egg.
“Cha Cha”. The outer layer was soft, but it was crispy to eat. It was like eating the edge of a fried egg. The fragrance of the oil and the egg filled the mouth.
Soon, he chewed on the inner layer of duck meat. The tender and smooth feeling of the duck meat in contact with his tongue, and at the same time, a stream of gravy burst out, filling Wang Jike’s mouth with the taste of duck meat.
Although the duck meat was obviously tender, the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. At the end, there was even a faint rich fragrance of Shao wine.
It was this hint of Shao wine that made the taste of the whole roasted pork duck even more mellow and perfect.
“It’s indeed delicious. ” Wang Jike squinted his eyes and seriously savored the aftertaste of the menu.
After quite a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Zhou with a burning gaze.
Yes, after Wang Jike ate the three Yangzhou Tridents, he understood what his son, Wang Qiang, said about the inexplicable difference.
Thinking of this, Wang Jike couldn’t help but look at Wang Qiang.
“What’s wrong with dad?” Wang Qiang felt his father looking at him and immediately put down his chopsticks.
The other three didn’t take any more food. In fact, they had a tacit understanding and didn’t eat the Trident. Only Wang Jike moved his chopsticks.
“When can you learn five points from head chef Yuan?” Wang Jike said.
“This … That …” Wang Qiang was instantly stumped and didn’t know how to answer.
“Forget it, it’ll be enough as long as I get three points.” “When it’s over, come back with me for special training,” Wang Jike said.
“Don ‘t, don’ t.” Wang Qiang quivered and shook his head.
What was closed door special training? this was a way to practice cooking invented by Wang Jike.
Every day, he would eat the dishes he made and then keep eating. After eating, he would maintain high-intensity training. When he was hungry from training, he would cook whatever he wanted to eat. Wang Qiang once followed his father and trained like this for half a month. He almost went crazy.
However, since Wang Jike had decided on something, there was no room for negotiation. He lowered his head and continued to eat the Trident. Firstly, it was delicious. As a native of Jiangsu, he liked to eat it. Secondly, he had heard of the rules of the restaurant before he came. Everything had to be finished.
Wang Qiang couldn’t tell what the difference was, and Huang Fei, Liu Li, and Hao Cheng couldn’t feel it either. It was because their cooking skills weren’t good enough.
To say what the difference between the two Tridents was, it really wasn’t a big difference, and it couldn’t be a big difference.
Previously, it was said that Jiangsu cuisine could be commercialized so well because of the five tigers ‘promotion.
Wang Jike, as one of the five tigers, participated in the National improvement of Jiangsu cuisine. After all, the taste was different in the country, so the taste had to be improved to suit the local taste and also to let foreigners get used to it.
Strictly speaking, the standard Trident of Suzhou’s Grand Hotel was almost improved by Wang Jike, which was the Wang’s Trident. The method of improvement was actually very simple. He slightly reduced the greasiness and paid more attention to the rich taste of the Trident itself.
The Trident prepared by Yuan Zhou had the proportion of the fat to the oil just right and the oil was not removed.
Yuan Zhou was trying to find a balance between the two. Wang Jike’s was reducing the greasiness and leaving the fat, but it was hard to say whose Trident was better. Most people couldn’t even tell which one was better.
However, the locals of Jiangsu could easily tell. Just like Wang Jike himself, he preferred to eat Yuan Zhou’s Trident.
This was because it reminded Wang Jike of how he had eaten a Trident when he was young.
“You’ve taught me a lesson. Greasy is not a derogatory term. To be precise, greasy was not a derogatory term in the past. ” Wang Jike thought.
Greasy, greasy uncle, and middle-aged greasy were all bad terms. Greasy food was not a good word either.
However, in the past, greasy only referred to “oily food.” It was a neutral word without any derogatory meaning.
Just like what the old house had written in camel Xiang Zi: “Hu Niu’s age, and this is her first pregnancy. She usually lacks exercise, and her pregnancy is very big, because she likes to eat greasy food during pregnancy …”
Of course, it could also be seen from this that people’s quality of life had improved.
After they finished eating, Wang Jike took the lead to leave, but he stopped when he reached the door.
“Head chef Yuan, when will the lunchtime end?” Wang Jike asked.
“Two points,” Wang Qiang replied.
“En, you guys can go back first. I will wait for head chef Yuan to rest here.” Wang Jike said.
“Dad, that …” Before Wang Qiang could finish, he was interrupted by Wang Jike,””Your judgment is correct this time. When it comes to the Trident, I am indeed not as good as head chef Yuan.”
As soon as Wang Jike finished speaking, Huang Fei, Hao Cheng, and Liu Li were dumbfounded. It was actually true.
That was Wang Jike!
The atmosphere was awkward. On one hand, it was because of shock. On the other hand, they didn’t know what to say.
“Actually, uncle Wang, you’re not. I think both your and head chef Yuan’s Trident are delicious.” Liu Li consoled.
“A loss is a loss. What’s there to not admit?” “It’s okay to admit defeat, as long as you don’t think you will lose forever,”Wang Jike said, waving his hand.
“If you have something to do, go do it.” Wang Jike suddenly thought of something.”I heard that you guys came here to eat. You’re also here to learn how to cook. Let me see your notes.”
“Uh …”
Wang Qiang, Hao Cheng, Huang Fei, and Liu Li were all dumbfounded. They were like wooden pillars, standing still in their spots.
“What’s wrong? Is it still a secret that you can’t let me see?” Wang Jike said.
“No, no,””I can see,””uncle Wang, what are you talking about? “”it’s right here.”
The four of them took their time and took out their notebooks. Wang Jike first took his son’s notebook.
There were five pages on it. Wang Jike flipped through it casually and nodded in satisfaction.”Five pages of notes after a meal. Not bad.”
Then, Wang Jike picked up Liu Li’s notebook, and his face gradually turned green as he looked up at the four people.
“If I’m not mistaken, these pages of notes are the sum of the notes you’ve taken in the past one or two weeks since you came to Chengdu?” he asked.
Because Wang Qiang’s notes did not have a date, Wang Jike did not notice it. But Liu Li’s notes had an accurate date, so …
Then, Wang Jike looked at Huang Fei and Hao Cheng’s notes. The four of them were similar.
“Do you think learning cooking is like going on a scenic tour?” Wang Jike asked.
Wang Qiang, Huang Fei, Hao Cheng, and Liu Li did not dare to speak.
“Head chef Yuan’s culinary skills are indeed very good. The food is so delicious that even I can’t stop thinking about it. However, do you all still remember what you are here for?” Wang Jike said.
“If you’re just here to taste head chef Yuan’s food, you can stay for a week or two. With head chef Yuan’s cooking skills, you can even stay for a year.” Wang Jike said,”but don’t travel with the excuse of learning cooking. What are you doing?” Work hard for others to see? He still tried his best to convince himself. ”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I might have misunderstood you. You’ve also successfully convinced yourself that you’ve been working hard and traveled thousands of miles to learn cooking.” Wang Jike said.
In the beginning, Hao Cheng and the other three only subconsciously lowered their heads. After all, Wang Jike’s seniority was high and his cooking skills were also high, so they could only be lectured.
However, with Wang Jike’s words, the four of them realized their own problems. They seemed to have really convinced themselves and convinced themselves that they were working hard.
“I’m sorry, head chef Wang”,”uncle Wang, I’m sorry”, and “dad, I’ve indeed slacked off.”
“Why are you apologizing to me?” Wang Jike said.
Then, the four of them subconsciously replied in unison,””We’re letting ourselves down. ”
“Hehe, you’ve been eating and sleeping well for the past two weeks, yet you’re still letting yourself down?” “I’m not that sorry,”Wang Jike said.
“Go back to the hotel and think about it.” Wang Jike said.
Hao Cheng, Liu Li, and Huang Fei bade farewell and prepared to leave. Wang Qiang was also prepared to leave with them, but he was stopped by Wang Jike.
“Little Qiang, stay here. I have something to say.” Wang Jike said.
Wang Qiang instantly felt uncomfortable, but he could only agree,””Okay, dad.”
Then, Wang Jike and Wang Qiang sat at the door and waited for the opening hours to end.
They were the second group to line up, so they were early after they finished eating. They waited outside for more than an hour.
After sitting for so long, Wang Qiang was tired, but Wang Jike still sat straight and meticulous.
Wang Qiang really wanted to say,”I’m old, the old waist of a Heavenly Mountain can’t take it anymore”, but he reckoned that he would be beaten to death if he said that in front of his father.
At 2:10 in the afternoon, the last customer left. After Yuan Zhou cleaned up the kitchen, he went to the door of the restaurant to stretch his body and then saw Wang Qiang and Wang Jike.
Yuan Zhou definitely knew Wang Qiang, but he wasn’t familiar with the one beside him.
“Hello, head chef Yuan. I’m Wang Jike, a chef of Jiangsu cuisine. Thank you for taking care of these kids these past few days.” Wang Jike said.
“Are you the five tigers, Wang Jike, head chef Wang?” Yuan Zhou immediately reacted.
The circle of chefs wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either. However, there were only a few famous people in each cuisines. Of course, Yuan Zhou knew the name Wang Jike.
“I didn’t expect head chef Yuan to have heard of my name.” Wang Jike said with a smile.
“Of course, head chef Wang is a master of Jiangsu cuisine.” “I’ve been preparing to pay a visit to Jiangsu, but I haven’t had the chance to,”said Yuan Zhou.
What he said was true. During the exchange activities with the chefs, Wang Jike was one of the famous chefs that Yuan Zhou wanted to exchange information with the most.
However, as a famous chef, Wang Jike was really too otaku. If he didn’t go to the gym every day, he would be practicing his cooking skills at home. He never had the chance.
“I don’t dare to be called a master of Jiangsu cuisine,” Wang Jike said.”Head chef Yuan’s attainments in Jiangsu cuisine have already surpassed mine.”
“It’s not like that, head chef Wang. My attainments in Jiangsu cuisine are because I’m standing on the shoulders of giants.” “When I was studying Jiangsu cuisine, head chef Wang’s Jiangsu cuisine gave me a lot of inspiration,” said Yuan Zhou very seriously.
For every cuisines rewarded by the system, all the essence of the cuisines had been extracted. To be more precise, it was the giant standing on the pyramid while Yuan Zhou was standing on the shoulder of the giant on the pyramid.
