Chapter 40 This dish is too ordinary

Chapter 40 This dish is too ordinary

8 month 10 day.

After 7 o'clock in the evening, Xu Yang finally had time to take a rest after cooking three courses of mapo tofu and five other dishes.

However, as soon as I put down the things in my hands, an order came in and started moving again.

Since the last time I found Tian Mingzheng and said that the next step is to cook his specialty dishes, the effect is obvious.

The dishes that have unlocked the illustrations, even though they are only two stars, are already delicious to ordinary people.

So many diners came here especially during this period.

Cooking several dishes in a row, or even a dozen dishes, may all be orders that require him to cook.

The most busy day is from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and there is no time to rest. All orders are designated orders, and orders that are not designated have no chance to be delivered to him.

At the busiest time, we couldn't even take the designated orders.

The diners can only be told to either choose a regular chef, leave or continue to wait.

However, if you continue to wait, it will take almost half an hour, or about an hour, which will take a long time.

Most people chose to leave. After all, they were already hungry at noon, so they really couldn't wait that long.

Xu Yang also made some other chefs in the kitchen very envious.

It must be tiring, but fame spreads quite quickly, and some people feel that the commission they get is high.

Not only those who have eaten want to come for a second time, but they will also introduce friends to come together.

The growth effect of reputation value is also obvious.

August 8th is the last day of the task time limit, and the prestige value is still 16 points short at this time.

Xu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, which was equivalent to 300 points a day, no problem at all.

In the beginning, it was impossible for him to accumulate 5 points in 1500 days. At that time, the average daily point was around 200 points, sometimes not so much.

Now you can meet repeat customers every day, which is the main source of reputation.

Even if there are no repeat customers, don’t worry. After eating the dishes cooked by Xu Yang, they will give you a good review, which will also bring about an increase in reputation value.

"Xu Yang, there's another order."

"Okay, let's put it away for now, and wait until I finish my work."

Xu Yang only needs to cook normally for orders that can be sent to the backend.

Soon, after cooking the dishes in his hand, he took a look at the new list.

He muttered in a low voice: "There's mapo tofu again."

It's not that I don't want to cook, but from noon today, this is the No.13 Mapo Tofu.

In an ordinary Sichuan restaurant, it may not be possible to make thirteen dishes of mapo tofu in a day, let alone a restaurant in a five-star hotel.

They came here for Xu Yang's fame, because this was a situation that the hotel had never experienced before.

As soon as the seasoning was put into the pot, Xu Yang noticed something was wrong.

Generally speaking, there are two aspects to improving taste.

The first one is when the seasoning is fried, there will be a very special fragrance of the seasoning, which is easy to smell when standing relatively close.

Zhang Yang would often smell the fragrance, and occasionally even Wang Yuangang next to him would be attracted by the fragrance.

The second is that at the end of cooking, the aroma of the dishes will be released when it is about to come out of the pan.

Regardless of whether it is a one-star dish or a four-star dish, as long as it is a hot dish, basically the source of the aroma comes from the seasonings and the dish itself.

But at this moment, Xu Yang only smelled the seasoning itself, and didn't smell the special fragrance of the seasoning at all.

With doubts, I continued to cook.

When it was taken out of the pot, I found that the aroma of the dish was still not there the second time, it was still the taste of the dish itself.

Looking at the color of the dishes, it is no different from ordinary dishes on the whole.

Herein lies the cause of the doubt.

The ingredients, seasonings, and cooking process used in cooking are exactly the same as before.

This has never happened in the previous dishes, but this mapo tofu is different.

Judging from many times of experience, the dish in front of me is far from reaching the four-star standard, and it can barely be regarded as one star.

Although he didn't understand the reason, he still said, "Okay, let's serve."

Xu Yang felt that he did too much today, which affected his ability to judge.

"Ok."

Just after serving this dish, Zhang Yang felt a little different from before.

He glanced at Xu Yang and noticed some changes. He thought he was wrong and didn't think much about preparing to serve.

But Xu Yang saw his gaze.

"Zhang Yang, is there something wrong with this dish?"

Zhang Yang hesitated for a while, and Xu Yang continued: "It's okay, if you have any problems, just say so, so as not to have a bigger impact when it's on the table."

He thought for a while and said: "I don't know if I feel wrong, I have cooked no less than ten dishes of Mapo Tofu today, but this dish is very different from the previous ones, and I can't tell what is wrong. "

Hearing this, Xu Yang knew that his feeling was right, there was something wrong with this mapo tofu dish.

There is nothing wrong with the dishes, the whole process is very standard, the problem lies in the taste of the dishes.

"Don't serve this dish yet, I'll taste it."

At this moment, Wang Yuangang asked, "Xu Yang, what's the matter?"

"Master Wang, there may be something wrong with the taste of this dish. I discovered it during the cooking process and thought it was an illusion. Zhang Yang also discovered the problem just now, so it's very possible."

One person's sense of smell may be out of order and they can't smell it, but two people can't smell it, so there is something wrong.

"Just to be on the safe side, I decided to give it a try, no matter whether there is any problem with the taste, I will redo it for the guests."

"Sure?"

"Very sure."

"Okay, let's all have a taste."

Chefs are not allowed to taste the cooked dishes. After tasting, no matter what the reason is, they must be redone for the guests. This is the rule.

Unless you are not confident in your cooking skills, or feel that there is something wrong with the dishes you make, then tasting is fine, but of course you will definitely need to redo them in the end.

The matter was brought up by Xu Yang, and it was his best mapo tofu, so Wang Yuan asked him to confirm it just now.

Seeing that Xu Yang was determined to taste it, the two picked up chopsticks.

Xu Yang took a sip first, and he immediately discovered the problem.

This is an ordinary mapo tofu that can no longer be ordinary. The gap with the previous one is too obvious, and it can't even compare with the taste of a one-star dish.

"Xu Yang, how does it taste, is there a problem?"

"You'll know when you taste it."

With doubts, Wang Yuangang took a sip first, and then Zhang Yang also took a sip.

After the entrance, they found that the dish was not right.

"Xu Yang, are you sure this is the mapo tofu you cooked?" Wang Yuangang felt incredible.

I have cooked so many times today, and there is no problem once, why suddenly there is a problem now.

"determine."

"It's not right. I've eaten this dish you made many times. It's the first time I've seen it like this. Does it affect you if you cook it too much?"

At this time, Zhang Yang on the side also said: "Yes, not to mention other dishes, this is mapo tofu. Although it tastes good, it is too ordinary for you, Xu Yang."

Xu Yang carefully recalled the entire cooking process, shook his head and said, "I thought about it, and there was absolutely no problem just now. I don't know which part went wrong."

"Xu Yang, if it's not the designated order, then you can serve the food, but the designated order is definitely not allowed. The difference between the customer's food and the food is too big. Let's redo it."

"That's the only way to go, but to avoid it happening again, I'll cook other dishes."

"Okay, I don't have an order later, so I'll come over and keep an eye on it for you."

Just do what you say, Xu Yang can only pay for the mapo tofu in front of him.

Then rush to cook other dishes on the list.
