Chapter 88 Precautions
"Xu Yang, I won't say more about other compliments. In short, your reputation will become bigger and bigger. I hope you will continue to maintain it. Don't start messing around just because you have good cooking skills. You must guard against arrogance and impetuosity."
Zhao Lei Jun said earnestly.
It can be seen that he attaches great importance to Xu Yang, not just his cooking skills.
"Chef, don't worry, I still have a sense of proportion and know what to do."
Xu Yang didn't understand what he meant.
Anyway, I am only 24 years old, and it is easy to become proud with such good cooking skills.
Once you become proud, it will help if you develop well, and you will be defiant if you do not develop well.
So worrying that I'm starting to become arrogant because of it.
Xu Yang knew that such a thing would never happen.
"That's fine. I believe you anyway. The next thing you have to do is to continue to improve your cooking skills and cook more good dishes. I remember you said that there are not many dishes that can really be cooked right now. This is definitely not possible. .”
"Tian Mingzheng, for example, is the head chef of Sichuan cuisine and is very proficient in Sichuan cuisine. He can cook very well the dishes on the menu of our hotel. In addition, he can also cook dishes from other cuisines very well."
Xu Yang glanced at Tian Mingzheng.
Know it from the start.
How can a chef in a five-star hotel be an ordinary chef?
There must be two brushes.
As a chef of Sichuan cuisine, it is normal to be proficient in Sichuan cuisine. As for other dishes, he must also be able to cook them.
Like Xu Yang now.
There are more than 20 dishes to unlock, which means that these dishes can be cooked well.
Other Sichuan dishes are average.
As for other cuisines, it is not easy to cook, and the gap is still obvious.
Now such a high degree of attention and popularity is entirely supported by five-star and four-star dishes.
Just two or three dishes are not enough, naturally more high-star dishes are needed.
"I am learning every day, and I am improving every day. I believe that there will be more dishes that can be really cooked in a short time."
Zhao Leijun nodded.
"Xiao Xu, I might think it's a lie for other people to say this, but you are different. I think it's okay. It's been more than a month since the end of the assessment, and the result of the improvement has been obvious."
Tian Mingzheng followed up and said, "Xu Yang, I can see your growth. I was surprised when I tasted Mapo Tofu for the first time. Now I am shocked when I taste Mapo Tofu. Your cooking skills have improved so much that we are beyond our reach."
It was obvious that the two of them were extremely satisfied with Xu Yang.
After all, Zhao Leijun is the executive chef of the five-star hotel Jincheng Hotel. It is relatively easy to get his praise, but it is not easy to achieve such a compliment.
"It's certainly fine in my own mind."
"Okay, for Xu Yang, I believe that he will continue to make progress in cooking. Next, let's talk about the cooking exchange tonight and the things that need to be paid attention to."
Zhao Leijun glanced at the two of them, and continued, "Old Tian, tell Xiao Xu what happened tonight."
"it is good."
Then Tian Mingzheng said: "Xu Yang, tonight we will also go to the Xiangyun Restaurant. Unlike last night, we will serve dishes one by one, not in the kitchen."
"Chef Tian, shouldn't it be the same? If so, will it affect the dishes or the score?"
Cooking face to face in the kitchen and serving it on the table are two different things.
The former can see the whole process from the preparation of the ingredients to the plate, and the final tasting, which will put invisible pressure on the chef.
Don't look at this little pressure, sometimes it is easy to cause the chef to make mistakes.
After cooking and serving it, it is equivalent to cooking the dishes normally, and no one will be watching all the time. Although it will still be stressful, it will definitely be much smaller.
After all, the people staring at you are all people with cooking skills.
Whether there is any problem in the whole process can be seen at a glance, and it will bring pressure to some extent.
"Normally, I wouldn't go to the kitchen to watch and taste. It's just that the person from Xiangyun Hotel suggested it last time, and it wasn't particularly unreasonable, so I agreed."
"What Lao Tian said is right, because we don't think it is necessary to go to the kitchen to watch the cooking, so we decided to follow the original plan."
Zhao Leijun then added.
Xu Yang nodded.
From this point of view, it should be something they discussed.
From Xu Yang's point of view, as long as he has cooking skills, no matter what the situation is, he can handle it well.
Like last night, none of the three of them made any mistakes.
Xu Yang has a system and doesn't worry about the taste of the dishes.
Cai Yunsong is a senior chef and has done many cooking exchanges. Naturally, he has no pressure or worries.
Although it was the first time for Cai Yuan to participate, and there was no system, but he had cooking skills.
The mistakes that occurred were not due to nervousness, but due to different understandings of the taste of the dishes, which resulted in low scores.
The chefs at Xiangyun Hotel must know each other very well, so this decision makes sense.
Xu Yang just accepted it.
"I understand."
"Just understand."
Then Tian Mingzheng continued: "Then there is the number of dishes. The specific dishes are the same as last night, there are twelve dishes, six cold dishes and six hot dishes."
As I said before, there is nothing to change.
"Xu Yang, because you don't cook all the dishes well, only the husband and wife's lung slices and mapo tofu on the menu are very good, how much do you know about the rating now?"
"Chef Tian, I already have a good understanding of scoring. The dishes are scored from four aspects, and the sum of the last four aspects is the comprehensive."
"It's good to know, so for the ratings of the dishes tonight, you can give your own opinions on all the dishes. It is just for reference. But for the two dishes of Husband and Wife Fei Slices and Mapo Tofu, you will be the one to take the lead in rating."
Xu Yang thought he had heard wrong.
Let yourself take the lead in such an important matter, even though it is two dishes.
Speaking of this matter last night, Xu Yang just wanted to come and have a look.
By the way, sign in to unlock a dish.
I never thought that I would dominate the reviews and ratings of dishes.
"Chef Tian, it's okay for me to make some suggestions, but let's forget about leading the scoring of the two dishes."
They have different considerations, so there will be a big gap in the scores given by Xu Yang, and it is estimated that they will have to go back and forth.
"It's okay. We have already discussed this matter with Liu Wenke. He said that there is no problem with these two dishes. If you have any doubts during the evaluation process or the final score, you can bring it up and solve it. It's not a problem."
After hearing that Liu Wenke agreed, this matter can be said to be a done deal.
But it's understandable if you think about it.
How could they speak out if they disagreed?
"Chef, Chef Tian, I can only say that I will do my best."
Zhao Leijun smiled and said: "Don't worry, with us here, we will raise any questions. This is an opportunity for you. After all, there will be more exchanges in the future. Practice in advance and take your time."
Xu Yang thought about it for a while. Anyway, since the two of them are here and there are other chefs, there should be no problem.
"I know what to do."
"Row."
Tian Mingzheng continued: "Secondly, there are three chefs cooking at Xiangyun Restaurant tonight. Two of them came last night. You have seen them all. They are Pan Lin and Wu Yongfei, and one is also a chef of Sichuan cuisine."
Xu Yang nodded.
Pan Lin is the Sous Chef of Sichuan Cuisine at Xiangyun Hotel, which is equivalent to Wu Han's position, so she should have that kind of cooking skills.
As for Wu Yongfei, he feels that his cooking skills are similar to Cai Yuan's, but the former should be slightly better, after all, he has been cooking Sichuan cuisine for a longer time.
The remaining one is probably not much different from Cai Yunsong's cooking skills.
From this point of view, the cooking skills of the chefs in the two restaurants are actually similar.
It is estimated that it is also the reason why the scores are not much different each time.
It's understandable after thinking about it.
The cooking skills of the chefs are not much different, so they can communicate better.
If all the chefs on one side are as good at cooking as Cai Yunsong, and if there are no mistakes, then the average score can be maintained above 80 points at any time, then it will definitely not work.
The gap will be very large, and it cannot be considered a culinary exchange.
"Then on our side, there is the head chef, me, you and the two Master Cai will go there, as long as you know."
Xu Yang nodded again.
There is nothing wrong with this choice.
Just like Xiangyun Hotel, there are five people in total.
As the hotel's chief chef and the person in charge of culinary exchanges, Zhao Leijun must be present, otherwise it won't be possible.
The cuisine for the exchange is Sichuan cuisine, and the person in charge of Sichuan cuisine can get it, at least one person must pass.
A sous chef is obviously not suitable unless a head chef is there with him.
And the three of them occupied three positions, obviously Wu Han was excluded.
As for myself, it is completely a special case.
If Xu Yang's guess is correct, Wu Han should have gone, but Liu Wenke invited him, so he naturally considered himself.
Cai Yunsong has nothing to say. Like Wu Yongfei, he is a master of Sichuan cuisine in the hotel, and his evaluations and ratings are more convincing.
"I know everything, Chef Tian, is there anything else I need to explain?"
Xu Yang thought for a while, and it seemed that he had finished explaining everything, and there was nothing missing.
Including the evening's dishes, ratings, chef selections, etc.
"I have explained everything that should be explained clearly. There is nothing else to say. It is the same when we talked about it in the past. But there is one more thing that Liu Wenke proposed. We did not agree for you. As for whether to refuse or agree, it is up to you. "
Xu Yang smiled: "Chef Tian, according to this, I can refuse."
"It seems that you have heard what I mean. That's right. If it is not possible, we will directly refuse it. If it is possible, we will directly agree. It is precisely because we can refuse, so we did not refuse for you. Let you choose."
Since it was proposed by Xiangyun Hotel, and they didn't directly reject it, it means that things can be done or not.
That should be considered a good thing, at least not a bad thing.
Let yourself choose, then first listen to when it is.
Then Tian Mingzheng said with a smile: "Do you still remember that when cooking husband and wife lung slices last night, you said that it tastes similar to mapo tofu?"
"remember."
This is what Xu Yang himself said.
At that time, everyone didn't pay much attention to this dish, but Xu Yang's remark that it tasted similar to mapo tofu made them very interested.
After tasting it, I was very shocked and gave a high score of 90 points, which shows how good the dishes are.
Then this incident should be related to Mapo Tofu.
"Chef Tian, you're not going to ask me to cook Mapo tofu."
After thinking about it, this seems to be the only possibility.
Hearing this, Zhao Leijun and Tian Mingzheng looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Seeing this, Xu Yang knew that he had guessed correctly.
"Yes, Liu Wenke hopes you can cook Mapo Tofu once after the cooking exchange."
as predicted.
Then Tian Mingzheng continued: "His reason is that after tasting the husband and wife's lung slices, it is the best dish they have ever tasted, and Mapo tofu can be as famous as it, and the taste will be better than it. I hope to have the opportunity to taste it." taste."
"I see."
"Because there are no rewards or other things for cooking this dish, we feel that you can refuse or agree. Anyway, it depends on your own opinion."
"Chef Tian, you really don't have any ideas, do you?"
He said he left it to himself to make the decision, but Xu Yang always felt that things were not that simple, and there seemed to be other reasons.
The two looked at each other again and smiled.
"Old Zhao, you lost, don't forget my meal."
"It seems that you know Xu Yang better. I am not as good as you, so I deserve to lose."
This made Xu Yang even more confused and incomprehensible.
He said very puzzledly: "That head chef and Chef Tian, how can you still have a meal if you lose?"
Tian Mingzheng was very happy.
"It's like this. In the morning, I made a bet with the head chef on whether you can guess the reason. Whoever loses the bet will cook a meal for the other party, one meat, one vegetable and one soup. Now it is obvious that you guessed it. Then I just won."
Xu Yang couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect that they would make such a childish bet.
"Okay, Xu Yang is still here, let's get down to business first."
Tian Mingzheng nodded and said: "Of course I have an idea. After all, I cooked in the kitchen of Xiangyun Hotel and surprised them in the end. No matter how you look at it, it is an irresistible thing. But you also said yesterday that Mapo Tofu is more It’s special, so I still ask for your opinion. If it works, I’ll agree, if it doesn’t, I’ll reject it.”
It seems that it was my tough attitude yesterday that prevented them from agreeing directly.
I was worried that if I refused again, it would be embarrassing.
I didn't keep my promise yesterday, and it's hard to explain if I didn't do it this time.
For Xu Yang, refusal and acceptance seem to have no effect.
Tian Mingzheng also said that he could refuse, but he hasn't agreed yet anyway.
However, if you agree, it may increase some reputation points, and if you get good reviews from professional chefs, it seems that the reputation value will be even higher.
For example, I cooked four dishes in one night last night, and getting more than 1000 reputation points is the best proof.
With the increase in reputation, Xu Yang seems to have no reason to refuse.
"Chef Tian, to be invited to make a mapo tofu is my recognition of cooking skills, so I will definitely choose to agree."
Hearing this, Tian Mingzheng patted Xu Yang on the shoulder very satisfied.
"Okay, just wait and see what you say, don't let us down."
"Definitely not."
Now the two of them can be said to be more satisfied.
"Okay Xu Yang, there's nothing else to do. You go and rest for a while. We'll set off on time at 5:[-]."
"understood."
