Chapter 93 Another High Score
"Xu Yang, have you improved your culinary skills in cooking mapo tofu again?" Zhao Leijun suddenly asked after pondering for a while.
Xu Yang was a little puzzled.
The taste of mapo tofu has improved, that is, in these two days.
I don't seem to have told anyone yet, so I probably guessed it.
Zhao Leijun saw the confusion in his eyes.
"I guessed it based on the situation just now."
Sure enough.
I haven't told anyone yet, how could I possibly know.
"I have tried your couple's beef slices and Mapo tofu recently. Not to mention the taste, the overall quality is not much different."
This is true.
It is also a five-star dish, and the taste is not much different if it is not unlocked.
Then the taste after unlocking will not have much difference.
Unless the dish is already good when you make it yourself, it will taste even better with the star rating unlocked by the system.
"But Liu Wenke said that this dish is much better than couple's lung slices. Then there is a possibility that your ability to cook mapo tofu has improved. Tian Mingzheng told me about this before."
The last time was because of the upgrade from four stars to five stars, so there was an improvement.
Strictly speaking this time, it should be considered a five-and-a-half-star dish, so it would be normal for it to be better than a five-star dish.
Xu Yang nodded: "As expected of the head chef, my guess is not bad at all, the taste has indeed improved."
He did not deny it. As long as Zhao Leijun, Tian Mingzheng and the others took a bite, they would taste it immediately. It would be better to admit it directly.
This analysis is also very accurate, as can be seen from Liu Wenke's reaction.
It's normal to improve knowing that you're cooking the dish.
Pointing to Xu Yang's admission, Zhao Leijun smiled and said, "Old Liu, I know why you reacted so strongly. It turns out that Xu Yang's ability to cook this dish has improved again. It turns out that the taste is very good, let alone after the improvement."
"Old Zhao, what do you mean by this? Could it be that Xu Yang's improvement in cooking ability is only a single dish?"
"Aren't you very clear?" Zhao Leijun asked back.
He continued: "Xu Yang is actually very good at cooking several dishes, including mapo tofu. The reason why he can cook so well is because he only studies these few dishes, and it is normal to improve individually."
"I see. No matter what, this mapo tofu is very good." Liu Wenke couldn't help but praise again.
At this time, Zhao Leijun also said again: "For the high score you gave this dish at the beginning of 37 points, I still think it is a bit of water, but now it seems that it is well deserved."
I still don't believe it until now.
I think Liu Wenke did it on purpose, and didn't look for problems seriously to make a comment. Now it seems that it is normal.
Xu Yang said that there is an improvement, which means that the improvement is not in the slightest.
Otherwise there wouldn't be such a big gap.
Of course I believe it now.
The main reason is that Zhao Leijun also wanted to know what kind of score Xu Yang's mapo tofu could get under the very strict evaluation criteria.
It's not that Liu Wenke deliberately gave a high score because he didn't count it into the total score, and he was afraid of troubling Xu Yang.
From the current point of view, it should not be as expected.
Liu Wenke smiled: "Old Zhao, don't you trust me? If you promise to be serious, you will be serious."
"Okay, I believe you, please comment on the taste of this dish."
"Then let me talk about the taste score first. If you want to say that a high score is no problem, the minimum score I give for the taste of this dish is 55 points. After thinking about it, I decided to give it 56 points, and then the total score is 93 points."
Hearing the final total score, Xu Yang nodded slightly.
The score is higher than expected, of course it is acceptable.
In fact, even if you can only get 90 points, it is understandable and acceptable.
Liu Wenke also talked about the reasons for giving 56 points, which are sufficient and reasonable.
When the score is above 80, it is very difficult to increase by 1 point, let alone increase by 90 point when the score is above 1.
Xu Yang took the lead and said, "Chef Liu, your review is very good, there is no problem with the points and deductions. To be honest, I was surprised that the score was 93. I thought it would be around 90 or 91 at most. I am very satisfied." gone."
"93 points!" Zhao Leijun was still shocked when he learned the score.
At the same time, Zhao Leijun also said: "93 points, I am also surprised by this score, but you are right, Lao Liu, Xu Yang's mapo tofu is worthy of this score."
Even though I knew I would get a high score, I couldn't believe it when I really knew the score.
He turned around and asked Cai Yunsong: "Master Cai, you had a dish that scored 96 points. How does it compare with Xu Yang's Mapo Tofu?"
Cai Yunsong was named, and he thought about it.
"I think Xu Yang's mapo tofu dish should be similar to my original dish. It looks like 96 points. In fact, because I just started communicating, I'm not very clear about the score. It's normal to have a high score. I guess it's just A level of around 93 points."
"Xu Yang, isn't it true that your kid's best dishes have reached the level of Master Cai?"
Listening to their conversation, Xu Yang also understood a little bit.
Cai Yunsong's score of 96 was obtained a long time ago. At that time, the scoring mechanism was not perfect, so that a high score would actually be a little lower.
Looking at it this way, it is correct to say that his best dishes have reached Cai Yunsong's level.
But it’s just the food.
"Chef, you also said that my best dish has reached that level, but it is just one dish. There is still a big gap between me and Master Cai."
Cai Yunsong smiled and said, "If nothing else, it's great to have such a specialty dish. Now I'm wondering if Cai Yuan made a mistake in taking you as his goal."
"Yeah Xu Yang, I thought we were similar, but now it seems that the gap is too big."
Cai Yuan had to sigh with emotion.
After what Xu Yang said at the beginning, he really believed it.
Looking at it now, it is obvious that the gap is too big.
The conversation between the three of them made others confused.
Zhao Leijun asked: "Master Cai, what do you mean by the target?"
"This is a long story. If you want to know, you can talk about it when you have time. Now you are still talking about Xu Yang's mapo tofu."
"it is good."
"Let's not talk about anything else, Lao Liu, now that the review is over, the most important thing is to let everyone have a taste." Zhao Leijun turned his head and reminded.
Liu Wenke patted his forehead.
"Look at my memory, it's mainly because the taste is so good that I almost forgot about it. It will probably be cold in a while. Let's all try Xu Yang's mapo tofu."
After speaking, the people in Jincheng Hotel did not move.
"Chef, shall we taste it?"
"Let's take a look. Today is mainly at the Xiangyun Hotel. If you can, you can taste it. If you don't have to, then forget it."
While talking, the chefs of Xiangyun Restaurant gathered around to have a taste.
Seeing this, Liu Wenke said: "Old Zhao, come and taste it too."
Zhao Leijun smiled and refused.
They want to taste it, and they can taste it while Xu Yang is at the restaurant.
Whether it is improved or not, it can be tasted at any time.
These people don't have the opportunity to taste it at any time, so let them.
The more people taste it, the more it proves the appeal of Xu Yang’s dish.
People like Jincheng Hotel naturally know what it tastes like, but they don't know, so they simply gave up the opportunity.
"It's so delicious. Is this really Mapo Tofu?"
"This is the most delicious dish I have ever eaten. It really melts in your mouth and you can taste the original taste of this dish."
"Wait, let me take a bite, I haven't figured out why just now."
After one taste, these people don't want to leave.
They finally understood why Liu Wenke took a second bite immediately after taking one bite.
two cases.
The first one melts in your mouth, and you go down it without even tasting it, so you naturally want to take a second bite.
There is another one that is so delicious that I take another bite to verify that the last one is indeed okay.
In any case, no matter what the situation is, the taste of Mapo Tofu is nothing to say.
People who have eaten have also expressed their opinions, and they all say that it is delicious.
After a while, the plate bottomed out.
Just after the tofu was eaten, someone drank the soup directly.
It can be seen that the taste is also very good.
Although the plate was bottomed out, they tasted it all, so they couldn't miss a bite.
Looking at the empty plates, everyone looked at Liu Wenke.
Liu Wenke spread his hands and said helplessly: "It will be gone after eating. It's useless for you to look at me, because I can't make it."
Of course he can cook Sichuan food without any problem, but he can't make such Mapo Tofu.
After saying that, he looked at Xu Yang again.
If you want to solve the current problem, you can only find Xu Yang, and only he can do it.
After receiving the gaze, Xu Yang smiled: "It seems that everyone likes this mapo tofu very much, so I will make a few more."
"Xu Yang, that's really troublesome for you."
Liu Wenke said to trouble Xu Yang, but asked to bring some fresh tender tofu.
It seems that the choice has been made long ago.
"No trouble. I said at the beginning that it's okay to eat a few more tonight. Time and other conditions allow it. Now that it's early and there's nothing else to do, I'll make two more."
Just do it.
Then Xu Yang made two more Mapo Tofu.
When Liu Wenke wanted to do the third job, he didn't agree, but refused. He thought that he had done enough tonight and there was no need to continue.
Seeing his insistence, Xu Yang nodded in agreement without saying much.
There is no limit to the number of times, Xu Yang has nothing to worry about, he can easily cook several dishes one after another.
Seeing that the newly made mapo tofu bottomed out again, Liu Wenke knew it was a bottomless pit.
If things go on like this, when they don't want to eat another bite, they will probably have to order more than a dozen or twenty servings.
The chef usually eats before going to work, so it's normal to be hungry now, and when Xu Yang makes such delicious mapo tofu, who can resist it.
"Old Zhao, let's stop here tonight." Seeing that it was almost done, Liu Wenke said.
Zhao Leijun glanced at the time and nodded.
"Okay, it's going to be 10 o'clock soon, and you're getting ready to get off work, so that's all for today's exchange."
If it's still early, you don't mind staying a little longer.
But it's not too early to leave.
When Xu Yang was cooking mapo tofu just now, these people were also sharing the results of the two-day culinary exchange and some problems that occurred. They all gained a lot. The exchange this time is generally not bad.
The one who gained the most was Xu Yang.
Not only brought two high-scoring dishes, but also made more people know him.
"Go, I'll see you off."
Halfway through the walk, Liu Wenke looked at Xu Yang and said suddenly, "Xiao Xu, are you interested in coming to our Xiangyun Hotel?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yang was stunned.
Is this poaching me?he thought.
It's normal to poach people, but isn't it not good to poach people in an aboveboard way?
Zhao Leijun and Tian Mingzheng were stunned.
The two of them are still here, digging people in front of their faces, how can there be such a thing.
I don’t think Liu Wenke was joking.
Zhou Zhe, the head chef of Sichuan cuisine at Xiangyun Restaurant, was also stunned.
He admits that Xu Yang is very good, and it won't be long before he can surpass himself. It is only a matter of time before he surpasses the head chef. He is a rare talent.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with poaching people, and it is a good thing if you agree.
Isn't it a good idea to just poach people in front of the head chef and head chef of Jincheng Hotel?
None of them expected that Liu Wenke would say such a thing,
As the person involved, Xu Yang was the first to react, smiled and said, "Chef Liu, you are joking."
"Old Liu, you can make other jokes as you like, but you can't make this one." Zhao Leijun followed up.
What Liu Wenke said just now was really impactful.
If Xu Yang is capable, then he was treated unfairly at the Jincheng Hotel.
Or the Jincheng Hotel started to go downhill, in order to prevent people like Xu Yang from being discovered.
There are also some reasonable reasons to poach people, Zhao Leijun won't say much.
It's hard to say anything even if you poach someone in front of you.
After all, people walk to higher places and water flows to lower places. Xu Yang's cooking skills deserve to be a chef in a better restaurant.
It's just that Xu Yang didn't meet any of the criteria.
Not only is there good treatment in Jincheng Hotel, but the hotel is in a thriving stage, so it is definitely not enough to poach people in front of you.
But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, I can understand it.
With Xu Yang's culinary skills, no matter which restaurant he is in, he hopes to win him over. After all, as time goes by, his culinary skills will get better and better.
Liu Wenke smiled: "Old Zhao, to be honest, I'm not joking. I'm seriously asking for Xu Yang's opinion. I know you don't understand, but I have a reason."
"Old Liu has known each other for so many years because of our relationship. It's not good to do so, but you said there is a reason, let's see if it is really enough."
It could be heard that Zhao Leijun still didn't mean to be angry, he just thought he was joking.
So I just followed the words and didn't say anything about expressing dissatisfaction or leaving directly.
At this time, Liu Wenke was also very serious.
In fact, Xu Yang heard that it was indeed not a joke.
I really want to dig myself in the past.
As for the reason, he was also curious.
Curious why you don't say it in private, you have to say it directly in public.
They left each other's contact information, which meant they could contact each other privately without letting Zhao Leijun and the others know.
No matter whether he agrees or refuses, no third person will know, so he is very puzzled by such a move.
If you want to know the reason, it will be clear after listening to Liu Wenke's explanation.
