Maverick Chef

After a while, the interpreter trotted over, entered the kitchen and asked, "What's the matter?" Behind him was Luo Hongyu, and behind him were Jin Taisheng and others, all asking what happened.

Strictly speaking, this matter should be blamed on Luo Hongyu. He knew that the other party did not understand Chinese, but sent a staff member who did not understand Korean to follow him.At the same time, we should also blame the waiter for not explaining clearly. The waiter was afraid that something would happen, so he told Luo Hongyu that there was a quarrel in the kitchen and asked the translator to go over.When Luo Hongyu heard it, hey, can accidents happen even when cooking?

Worried about something happening, he rushed over to have a look. Now, Jin Taisheng couldn't sit still anymore.Li Zhongji is the first head chef of Qianxi Chain. Although his position is lower than him, he is by no means inferior to him in terms of importance, so he came here with his translator.

So, everyone gathered in the kitchen.

After some understanding, they knew it was a misunderstanding, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Luo Hongyu was the host, and he didn't want any accidents. He told the head chef of the Garden Hotel, "Korean chefs have to use the kitchen to cook their favorite Korean dishes. After all, our dishes are not authentic and don't suit their tastes."

When the head chef heard it, he said that our Korean dishes are not authentic?Well, you are Korean, so I won’t argue with you about this, let the chef prepare chopping boards and kitchen utensils for Li Zhongji.

But he could bear it, but his chefs couldn't bear it.Hearing that this guy is really here to cook, and he dislikes the Korean food they cook as unauthentic and not tasty, the Korean chef got angry.

The Garden Hotel does not have a dedicated Korean chef. In order to welcome the Korean business group, a Korean chef was specially borrowed from Beicheng Hotel.The chef is Wang Zhu, in his 30s, and has more than five years of experience in making Korean dishes.

But, there is a big problem. This Korean chef has never been to Korea and does not understand Korean. His Korean cuisine is learned from his master, that is to say, he learned foreign cuisine from domestic masters. .

Before Wang Zhu learned Korean cuisine, he had dabbled in all eight major cuisines in China, and understood the complexity, tediousness and superb skills of them.

Korean cuisine is different. Due to the limitation of geography and ingredients, the cooking is mostly based on barbecue, which is relatively simple to prepare.In addition to grilling, there are several methods of steaming, cold dressing, and pickling.There are very few stir-fried and fried foods.

Wang Zhu has learned Korean cuisine for five years, and the more he learns, the more he doesn't take it seriously. What is it?Except that it is raw or raw, it cannot be compared with Chinese cuisine at all.

Korean cuisine has three treasures, kimchi, soybean paste, and sauce jars.Let alone the sauce jar, it cannot be eaten.The other two, it is no exaggeration to say that they exist in most dinners.Especially kimchi, essential.

In addition, Korean cuisine has another biggest feature, vegetarian.Most greens are eaten raw.

The coolest thing is that not only green vegetables are eaten raw, but seafood and meat are also eaten raw.

For example, mixed with octopus, such as raw dog or beef.

Comparing these dishes with Chinese delicacies, Wang Zhu would certainly not take it seriously.In fact, he is willing to learn Korean cuisine, one is because the master is very kind to him and willing to teach him; the other reason is to gain a foothold in Beicheng Restaurant.But fortunately, no matter what the purpose is, Wang Zhu learned very hard, and soon became the No. [-] Korean restaurant in Beicheng Hotel.The boss is his master.

But because of this disapproval, because of his own efforts, and because of his understanding of the dishes of the two countries, after hearing Koreans say that his dishes are not delicious, Wang Zhu couldn't help but said: "Why is it not delicious? You Say I'm not authentic, I admit it, but it's not delicious? Have you really tasted it?"

He stood up to speak, and the head chef of the Garden Hotel was a little embarrassed. After all, he was not his own subordinate, so he couldn't manage it, so he could only smooth things over with a smile: "Boss Wang, we are serving the guests, as long as the guests are happy."

Wang Zhu thought about it, forget it, he didn't have the same knowledge as Gao Li Bangzi, he glanced at a few Koreans, turned around and wanted to leave.

At this time, the Korean translator translated what he said to Li Zhongji, and when Li Zhongji heard it, he lost his temper and shouted to stop.The translator quickly translated the words.

Koreans pay great attention to seniority. As the first head chef, Li Zhongji has been beating and scolding others for many years. How can a junior be rampant in front of his eyes?Coupled with the fact that he drank too much wine and the dispute just now, he was upset and wanted to vent.

Being called to stop, Wang Zhu stopped, turned around, put his arms around his shoulders and sneered, "I stopped."

Li Zhongji spoke through an interpreter, "You said that I have never tasted your Korean food? Did you cook the raw beef dish just now?"

Wang Zhu replied yes.

Li Zhongji smiled coldly: "Do you think yours is delicious? Okay, waiter, bring over his dish." Then he asked the translator to tell the chef of the Garden Hotel: "Please prepare some plows for me, a piece of fresh Beef, eggs, sesame, lettuce..."

Is this for a competition?

Luo Hongyu from the China Merchants Bureau couldn't react. Damn, why did something happen again?He scolded Wang Zhu: "Compared to what? Hurry up and apologize to the guests."

Wang Zhu turned a deaf ear because he didn't know him at all.

Luo Hongyu was furious, and said to the chef of the Garden Hotel: "Stop him quickly."

The head chef of the Garden Hotel is very helpless, who have I offended honestly?Why do you keep coming at me?Smiling and persuading Wang Zhu: "Admit your mistake and forget it. Let's sit down and have a good chat later. I am very familiar with your Chinese restaurant boss."

Wang Zhu smiled and said, "It's that person who is the one to compare, so what does it matter to me?"

The head chef thought, yes, Wang Zhu had no intention of doing it at all, it was the Koreans who wanted to compete.

Seeing that the chef of the Garden Hotel didn't let people prepare the ingredients, Li Zhongji became more and more angry. Is he looking down on me?

People who drink tend to be extreme. Li Zhongji asked the translator to urge the chef to prepare the ingredients, and then said a few words to Jin Taisheng.

Therefore, Jin Taisheng came forward with a smile: "Director Luo, since you are interested, let them compare. Don't worry, it will definitely not affect the investment. When the time comes, I will continue to ask Director Luo for help."

Translating is really busy. After translating what this person said, I went to translate the next person.

After hearing these words from the translator, Luo Hongyu thought for a while, what's the big deal about a chef's competition?As long as the investment is not bad, they just agree with it with a smile.

The master agreed, and the head chef asked people to prepare the ingredients, cleaned them and brought them to Li Zhongji.

Li Zhongji looked at Wang Zhu with a cold smile, and picked up a kitchen knife on the chopping board.Without trying the knife, I took a look at the fresh beef, pressed it according to the grain direction of the meat, quickly sliced ​​it, and then shredded it.Add white vinegar and salt and mix well.

Then slice the pears.

Take a disc, put lettuce on the bottom, and put together two pieces of lettuce to form a perfect circle.Spread the pear shreds again, and spread it into a round shape.At this time, put the shredded pork in cold boiled water and spread it on the shredded pears to form a third circle.

Sprinkle sesame seeds, black pepper and other ingredients, among which is raw egg yolk, serve it to Wang Zhu, and say coldly in Korean: "Taste it."

This sentence does not need to be translated, everyone understands what it means.

Wang Zhu was a little hesitant. The easiest way to test whether a chef is qualified is to look at his knife skills.Li Zhongji cuts shredded pork and pears quickly and neatly.The knife method is not only fast, but also very precise, and the shredded meat cut out is almost the same size.As for the shredded pears, Li Zhongji's swordsmanship is so fast that even the shredded pears didn't leak out too much juice.

Jin Taisheng picked up a pair of chopsticks with a smile, stirred the shredded pork pear and egg yolk evenly, and then handed the chopsticks to Luo Hongyu: "Director Luo, try authentic Korean cuisine."

This sentence was translated by a Korean translator. After hearing this, Luo Hongyu took the chopsticks with a smile, took a bite of shredded pork and ate it. After a while, he nodded repeatedly and praised: "Delicious, delicious, delicious."

At this time, the waiter brought back the plate of raw beef made by Wang Zhu, and Li Zhongji proudly said, "Try all of them and see which one is delicious."

There are many ways to prepare a dish of raw beef. In order to show his excellent craftsmanship, Li Zhongji insisted on making it according to the method of Wang Zhu's dish of raw beef, even the seasoning was the same.

It was for this reason that Wang Zhu did not move his chopsticks first.Now, he already knew that Li Zhongji was really good. He could completely restore the ingredients, seasonings, and production process of a dish after just a few glances at the dinner table and two more bites.Although it is the Korean cuisine that Li Zhongji is very good at and familiar with, but in terms of this skill alone, it is already very remarkable.

Li Zhongji asked a group of chefs to evaluate the dishes. The chefs took Wang Zhu's face into consideration, and no one stepped forward.

Li Zhongji sneered: "It's still a big country, and I don't even have the courage to eat a single dish, so how dare I talk about cooking?"

This sentence made the Chinese translator very uncomfortable, so he translated it to the hotel chefs, and the chefs immediately became angry.

Some things have nothing to do with race, such as grouping together, such as xenophobia, everyone is the same.

To the chefs, Li Zhongji was provoking them.Two chefs came out of them and carefully tasted two raw beef dishes.Then he retreated without saying a word.Although I was dissatisfied in my eyes and my heart, but just talking about this dish, the Korean chef really won.

Seeing the faces of the chefs who refused to admit defeat but had to admit defeat, Li Zhongji laughed out loud, very proud.

He was very happy, not only vented his anger, but also felt that Korean food is better than Chinese food, so he got excited and said: "I know some of you are not convinced, it's okay, I'm standing here, waiting for everyone's challenge, I hope someone can beat me."

After the translator finished saying this sentence, the chefs of the Garden Hotel changed their faces. Damn, this guy is too crazy.At that time, someone asked: "How do you compare? Korean food or Chinese food?"

One is a Korean chef and the other is a Chinese chef. It would be unfair to the other side to choose any kind of dish to compete.

Li Zhongji understood this sentence, and laughed: "Chinese food is most about knife skills. How about I compare knife skills with you? Is there anyone who dares to compare?"

Let's compare, you can be beaten to death, but you can't be scared to death.What's more, everyone has confidence in their sword skills.

No, the result was very unexpected. Li Zhongji singled out the five chefs of the Garden Hotel, including the head chef, and the result was a complete victory.

Li Zhongji drank too much wine and was already very excited. The more he won, the more excited he became. After the victory, he laughed and said, "Is it true that Chinese chefs only have this level? Hahaha."

He really drank too much, coupled with winning consecutive victories in the competition, he was a little carried away, so he said the above sentence.
