"Serve the food." Liu Wenke ordered.
In less than 2 minutes, another dish was served.
It is Xu Yang's best dish, mapo tofu.
Soon, after tasting them all, it was time to discuss, comment and score.
"Xu Yang, according to the previous order, you are still in charge of scoring this dish."
"it is good."
For this dish, Xu Yang knew that the score might exceed 80 points the moment it was brought to the table.
The level is probably between three and four stars.
It is higher than three-star dishes, but not yet four-star dishes.
It's okay to get a high score.
Then Xu Yang said his evaluation and scoring from four aspects.
After finishing speaking, a high score of 82 points was given.
This dish can be said to be a rare boutique in all aspects, much better than the previous dishes.
Finally, it is no longer a low-scoring dish.
"Okay, Xu Yang has given comments and ratings. Do you have any opinions?"
Tian Mingzheng shook his head: "I don't. Although the previous dishes were not satisfactory, this mapo tofu is really good. It is not as good as Xu Yang, and much better than other chefs. As the saying goes, it is better than the best, and better than the other chefs. There is more than enough."
After saying that, Cai Yunsong saw everyone looking at him.
He smiled and said, "I also have no objection, at least I can't make this kind of mapo tofu. A score of 82 is normal."
Finally, when he came to Cai Yuan's place, he would not have any objections.
Zhao Leijun concluded: "Okay, I have no objections, then this dish will pass."
After the discussion was over, he said again: "According to our previous arrangement, tonight's couple's lung slices and mapo tofu will be led by Xu Yang, I don't mind."
"Of course not. I wish I could. Xu Yang's comments on Couple's Fei Pian just now are very accurate."
It can be seen that Liu Wenke really doesn't mind.
"That's good. The reviews and ratings of this dish are all done by Xu Yang. We just made a decision, so it's still the same sentence. Ask questions in time after the end."
After speaking, Xu Yang began to comment on this dish.
When the score was announced, Liu Wenke subconsciously nodded.
The nod was not very obvious, but this small detail was discovered by Xu Yang. It seems that he can accept both comments and scores.
It can be clearly felt that Liu Wenke's face and condition are better.
At this time, Liu Wenke took the initiative to say: "Old Zhao, the comments on Mapo Tofu are very good. Speaking of which, I am looking forward to the Mapo Tofu that Xu Yang will cook later."
"Haha, there will be a chance soon. Since this dish is okay, let's continue to serve it."
"no problem."
Then No.11 dishes and No.12 dishes were served on the table, and then observed, tasted, discussed, commented and scored according to the process.
Scored 81 points and 83 points respectively.
Surprisingly, three consecutive dishes are high-scoring dishes.
It is a pity that the average score did not catch up in the end.
"Old Zhao, I'll show you a joke tonight."
Zhao Leijun shook his head: "This is not a joke. In fact, the score of 73 points is not too low. It is still higher than our last time. It is only this time that we have played a long time to get a high score."
Thinking about their average score last time, 73 points is understandable.
If you don't get a low score, you may not really understand this feeling.
Tian Mingzheng also said with a smile: "Chef Liu, our two restaurants are originally for culinary exchange, not based on the score. It seems that this time we can find some potential problems very well, and solve and correct them in time."
Liu Wenke nodded: "You're right, the most important thing is the exchange of culinary skills and the ability to discover possible problems."
"Okay, the culinary art exchange will stop here for the time being, and we can communicate about this aspect again at that time. Old Liu, you must have forgotten what you have been talking about."
Hearing this, the expression on Liu Wenke's face changed immediately.
I was a little worried just now, but now my face is full of anticipation and excitement.
It seems that I really want to taste Xu Yang's mapo tofu.
"Xu Yang, are you okay here?" Zhao Leijun asked.
Xu Yang nodded: "I have no problem here, I can start at any time. In addition, let alone make one copy today, I can make more copies, as long as there is time."
Of course he's fine.
I haven't cooked once today, and there are still nine opportunities left, which means that I can make nine dishes, and how many dishes to cook depends on how they arrange it.
It's still early anyway.
Liu Wenke got up immediately.
"Xu Yang said so, what are you still doing here? Go to the kitchen quickly."
Then the group went to the kitchen.
It doesn't count as late at all.
It was supposed to start at 7 and end at 9.
Zhao Leijun and the others arrived at 6:6, then started at 45:8, and now it is just [-]:[-].
At this moment, the restaurant's kitchen was still cooking in full swing, so it wasn't too late at all.
To cook, of course, I will not go to an ordinary kitchen.
Of course, Xiangyun Hotel also has an area that belongs to the kitchen of fine dishes.
Led by Liu Wenke, a group of people walked into this kitchen, which was much better in every way.
The dishes that were used for the culinary exchange just now were also cooked here, and then served on the table for tasting.
It's still relatively early.
In addition to the cooking chefs who are participating in the exchange, there are other people busy.
"Old Zhao, this is our kitchen, isn't it very different from yours?"
Xu Yang also looked around a few times.
What I have to say is that there is indeed a big gap with their restaurant this time.
Whether it is environment, area or other aspects, there are gaps.
Zhao Leijun smiled: "Old Liu, the environment of the back kitchen is not important, the most important thing is the taste of the dishes, the taste is not good, no matter how good the environment is, the guests will not know, and the taste is not good, and they use special With a good kitchen, the guests will probably be angry."
"That's right, let's go in and have a look."
As soon as Liu Wenke walked in, he said loudly, "Everyone who has nothing to do can come over, and those who have to cook can continue to cook."
As the head chef of a restaurant, if they were to gather again, they must have something to say, and those who had nothing to do naturally surrounded them.
I’ve seen almost everyone here.
Liu Wenke pointed to the people behind him and said, "You probably know some of these people, and some you don't. Let me introduce you."
"This is Zhao Leijun, the executive chef of Jincheng Hotel."
After speaking, Zhao Leijun greeted them.
Then he introduced: "This is Tian Mingzheng, the head chef of Sichuan cuisine at Jincheng Restaurant."
Like Zhao Leijun, Tian Mingzheng also greeted him.
Then the three of them were introduced, and it was naturally the same as before.
Among these people, Xu Yang certainly found familiar faces, that is, the two or three people he met last night.
Therefore, Liu Wenke did not introduce the people at Xiangyun Hotel.
He continued: "It's a good thing to call people over."
Hearing that it was a good thing, these people immediately became interested. If he said it was a good thing, it would definitely not be that bad.
Liu Wenke signaled Xu Yang to go ahead.
Xu Yang understood the meaning and stood beside her.
At this time, Liu Wenke said: "I just introduced you to Chef Xu Yang of Jincheng Hotel. I know that people who don't know him will not believe him. At first glance, he might have thought he was an apprentice, like Wu Yongfei and the others know each other well, so they know that I am not talking big, and the next good thing is related to our Chef Xu Yang."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yongfei immediately thought of something.
But I'm not sure if my idea is correct.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Chef, is Xu Yang coming to cook? Is it a couple's lung slices?"
Speaking of the husband and wife lung slices made by Xu Yang, he still has a fresh memory and endless aftertaste.
However, I didn't have a chance to eat more last night. I always wanted to taste it again, and even had the idea of going to Jincheng Restaurant to taste it.
"You guessed half right."
I guessed half right, it should be the first half.
If you don't cook, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it later.
After thinking about it, Wu Yongfei shook his head.
He didn't expect to go to other dishes at all, mainly because he only knew about Xu Yang from yesterday, so of course he didn't know too much.
Liu Wenke continued to smile and said: "First of all, Xu Yang scored 90 points with a couple's lung slices at the culinary exchange between our two restaurants last night."
This is a boutique kitchen. The chef who can come here to cook is certainly not an ordinary chef. Naturally, he knows that the two families have always exchanged cooking skills.
I also know what a score of 90 points for a dish is.
There were seven or eight chefs at the Xiangyun Restaurant alone, and none of them could make an estimate.
Suddenly the look in Xu Yang's eyes changed.
They knew that Liu Wenke would not say that on purpose, and they also knew that the score of 90 points was real.
People from Xiangyun Hotel might not believe it, after all, Xu Yang looks too young.
You must know that this is the chef of Jincheng Hotel. You have to believe it even if you don't believe it. You can't have your own head chef praise the chef of another restaurant.
At the beginning, I didn't pay much attention to it, but now I have become serious.
Still, some people don't quite believe it.
Xu Yang didn't care about this. He knew what kind of cooking skills he had and it had nothing to do with other people's thoughts.
Believe it or not, culinary skills are here anyway.
"Chef, you've been betrayed. Tell me what's the fun." As an insider, Wu Yongfei was naturally in a hurry.
At this time, Pan Lin also said: "Chef, I also know Xu Yang's cooking skills. Let's talk about something good. Maybe it's Xu Yang who joined our restaurant."
"Hahaha, Pan Lin, you really dare to think about it." Wu Yongfei immediately laughed.
"Why can't you believe it? What if."
Liu Wenke also smiled and said: "If Xu Yang is really the chef of our restaurant, then I guess I would wake up laughing when I sleep, but this is impossible, so don't think about it, as for the good thing, Xu Yang will wait for it later Cook a dish, everyone can taste it."
Seeing him say it, the matter is basically settled.
Wu Yongfei said curiously again: "Chef, what kind of dish is it, I can't help but want to taste it."
"I still remember that at noon yesterday, I said that there was a new chef in Jincheng Restaurant, and the dishes were said to be very delicious, and then I went to taste them at night, but I didn't taste them at night, do you remember?"
Wu Yongfei thought for a moment and immediately thought of it.
"Is it mapo tofu?"
"Yes, this dish is Xu Yang's best dish. It is not worse than couple's lung slices. I invited Xu Yang last night, and today I invite him to cook this mapo tofu. Let everyone taste the usual delicious dish. Unbelievable food."
"That's it, that's great." Wu Yongfei couldn't help but say.
Even Pan Lin who was on the side nodded and said, "I've heard about Xu Yang's mapo tofu for a long time, and many people come here to taste it. I have the opportunity to taste it tonight. I really look forward to it."
Those who have never tasted Xu Yang's lung slices, of course, cannot imagine what it tastes like, and are not qualified to speak.
Only those who have tasted husband and wife lung slices can understand what kind of taste it is.
When I hear that it is Mapo Tofu that is not worse than this dish, I will naturally look forward to it.
Looking at this situation, Xu Yang felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, the taste of my mapo tofu is really not worse than the couple's lung slices.
If the taste is not very good, it will be even more embarrassing.
"Chef Liu, don't praise me like this. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. It's not good if you let everyone down later."
Liu Wenke shook his head: "No, no, no, I admire you very much and believe in you. Young chefs like you are very rare. Anyway, it's good to be able to taste a meal."
Zhao Leijun also smiled and said: "Xu Yang, I don't know about the others, but it must be fine to cook. You will be surprised after tasting it. It's the same reaction as when I tasted it for the first time."
Xu Yang wanted to laugh when he thought of Zhao Lei's reaction when he tasted the first bite.
It stands to reason that at his level, he must have tasted like that, maybe it will be even better.
It's just that the dishes made by Xu Yang didn't match, they exceeded expectations, and the surprises they brought would be even greater.
So I took a bite and was immediately taken aback.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, how about we start cooking directly."
"Okay, I have no problem." Xu Yang nodded and replied.
Then Liu Wenke said: "Xu Yang, I've always remembered your words, don't say make one tonight, just make a few more."
"I said it, but Chef Liu didn't seem to agree."
"I promise now, how about you cook a portion first so that everyone has a chance to taste the taste first, and then start cooking later."
Xu Yang didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Zhao Leijun.
Sensing his gaze, Zhao Leijun smiled and said: "We agreed at the beginning, this matter is all up to you, if you want to do one, you can do one, if you want to do five, you can do five, just right We can taste it too."
Of course they also want to try Xu Yang’s Mapo Tofu.
It's just that there is no chance at the restaurant.
Because Xu Yang said how many servings to make every day, and there were not many servings, so of course he would not grab another place, so there were not many opportunities to taste.
Just in time to taste it tonight.
Besides, I promised when I came here that I will not interfere in the whole matter.
After getting an affirmative answer, Xu Yang knew what to do.
"Chef Liu, this proposal is of course no problem."
"Then shall we start directly?"
"Let's start right away."
