Chapter 109: Fancy Comments
After Bai Renzong held his chin and watched Han Jiayi leave, he began to observe the kitchen.
For some reason, the chef here looked at him...it was a bit subtle.
That feeling was like seeing the director's actor, looking eager to show off.
"They all know that you are from the International Foodie Association." Han Jiayi said quietly, putting the bread and sauce in front of Bai Renzong and laughed, "Everyone wants to cook one day for you to eat."
"I don't have any objection, but do you ask them if they are ready to be criticized by me?" Bai Renzong teased, "Their boss was scolded and cried by me at the beginning?"
"I, I... that day, it was..." Han Jiayi's face turned red at the time, "I watched a tragedy the day before, and I was a little sensitive. It was because I was in a bad state, not because I was mentally fragile..."
"Yes, yes, yes." Bai Renzong nodded and smiled, "But I think this idea is not bad. After all, he is an employee of your store. At least he has to be baptized by me to be considered a food spy who has the ability to deal with Michelin. He can't always rely on you."
"I'll tell them." Han Jiayi nodded, then wrinkled her nose at him, "Don't be too fierce?"
"I have always told the truth." Bai Renzong replied lightly, "Okay, go quickly, I'm hungry."
Han Jiayi glared at him skeptically, then turned back to the kitchen and became busy.
Soon, Han Jiayi "bang" and placed a plate of stew in front of him.
The colorful Provence stew was placed on the plate in front of him, and it was piled up into a hill, which was exactly the same as the Provence stew in "The King of Ratatouille", which made people feel particularly appetizing.
"Well..." As the scent of the stew came, Bai Renzong closed his eyes and sighed intoxication.
"There are also side dishes, Hawaiian style roasted chicken legs and fried cod strips. Here are three sauces, garlic sauce, tartar sauce and mustard sauce. You can eat them with chicken legs and cod strips." Han Jiayi smiled and reminded, "There is a bread at the end."
After a pause, Han Jiayi explained: "I made the Provence stew, and the others made it by others in the kitchen."
"Yeah." Bai Renzong nodded, and then tasted the protagonist: Provence stew.
Eggplant, bell pepper, zucchini, tomatoes and other vegetables are roasted just right in the oven. Although it is soft, it is not soft and can taste the unique toughness and crispness of vegetables. The aroma of various vegetables spreads in the mouth with sweet and sour sauces. Black pepper and thyme just set off the aroma of these vegetables. The base sauce controls all this well and forms a whole.
In the base sauce, you can taste pumpkin, onions, tomatoes and the scraps cut from various vegetables used in the stew, which are sweet and sour, sticky and thick.
Bai Renzong couldn't help but grab a piece of bread and dip it in these sauces and ate a big bite.
Because the base sauce of Provence stew is relatively dry and cannot soak in bread like a baguette, Han Jiayi provides toast. The soft toast is coated with some base sauce and eaten in one bite. The aroma of the vegetable is mixed with the aroma of the bread, which has another flavor.
"My lady..." Bai Renzong sighed.
Han Jiayi, who was beside him, looked tense and refused to let him laugh: he "meowed"... a little cute.
Then Bai Renzong tasted the chicken legs.
The chicken legs were roasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The gravy inside almost bursts out in the mouth after one bite. It was accompanied by a unique smoky aroma of charcoal grilled chicken, which also brought a strong sense of satisfaction that vegetables could not provide.
The cod bars have a weak presence, but if paired with these three sauces, they can compete with several other dishes.
But it has to be said that even if Provence stew is a vegan dish, its performance is really impressive. In contrast, grilled chicken legs and cod strips have become auxiliary dishes only to fill the stomach.
"Overall, it's not bad." Bai Renzong rubbed the sauce left over from the Provence stew with the last slice of bread. "But I personally think that even if you only serve this Provence stew, I can accept it."
But Han Jiayi was happy at this moment: Hehe, he ate so delicious that he ate all of them and was still wiping the plate with bread.
"But everything else..." Bai Renzong glanced at the chicken legs and cod strips in front of him, "Let's talk about the dishes first."
As he said that, Bai Renzong pointed to the cod strips: "The cod strips are not particularly matched in this set meal, and they have a low presence. They can neither provide fullness like chicken legs, nor have the impact of Provence stews. If they are too much, they don't seem to have much impact. This is just a evaluation from the simple combination of dishes, after that..."
Bai Renzong turned to Han Jiayi: "Call the chefs who make these two dishes over and I'll tell them in person."
Han Jiayi nodded and shouted: "Huihui! Lao Hu!"
Then, a fat man and a young short-haired woman of twenty-six or seven came to Bai Renzong.
"This is my current chef Su Hui." Han Jiayi introduced, then turned to the fat man who was about 1.8 meters tall, "This is Hu Xin, who is usually in charge of the sauce group."
After a pause, Han Jiayi added: "That is, the chefs in the kitchen of Western restaurants are usually responsible for one link. For example, one prepares side dishes, one prepares sauce, and one is responsible for frying meat," said Dr.
"I know." Bai Renzong nodded, and then asked curiously: "Who made this roast chicken leg?"
"Yes, it's me!" Su Hui raised her hand nervously and said.
"The roasting is very good. You can taste the aroma of charcoal. If you take a bite, there is a rich gravy inside. It doesn't look like it's roasted but fried." Bai Renzong commented, "In addition, in order to match Provence stew, I specially replenished the flavor when marinating the chicken legs. It may be a little salty when eating normally, but it matches it well in the whole set."
"Thank you, thank you for your praise!" Su Hui replied loudly, feeling a sense of excitement and emotion for no reason: He discovered it, he discovered it! It turns out that this is the chef's happiness! No wonder Jiayi likes him so much...
At that time, Su Hui felt her eyes were a little wet and quickly blinked.
"Overall, it's true that you deserve the position of chef. Your basic skills and ideas can be compared with what Jiayi has." Bai Renzong replied, "If you have Jiayi's creativity, you can become a chef who stands alone."
"I will work hard!" Su Hui said with great fighting spirit.
Han Jiayi, who was standing beside her, suddenly felt a little sad: What, I praised her like this... I was criticizing me for the first time.
"This cod..." Bai Renzong then turned to the cod.
Hu Xin next to him tightened: "Yes, I did it!"
"How to say it, put aside the whole set meal, look at this cod separately." Bai Renzong replied, "It's quite good. It's fried so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fish meat doesn't need to be chewed. The palate and tongue melt when squeezed. It's obviously fried but not very greasy. When biting it, it's not oil but soup. I think it should be fried after special treatment, right?"
"Yes! First, use a spray gun to quickly roast it, and then fry it quickly over high heat!" Hu Xin nodded.
"The heat is very good." Bai Renzong nodded with satisfaction, and then dipped some sauce with a bread knife one by one and tasted it separately. "Garlic sauce, tarta sauce and mustard sauce are freshly prepared. The garlic sauce seems to be soy sauce, the tarta sauce is added with parsley leaves and parmesan cheese, and the mustard sauce is given... is it wine?"
Hu Xin nodded: "Yes! Because it is made with French mustard sauce! French mustard sauce usually gives a little white wine or burgundy, which is not very choking but the taste is even more special!"
"Ah... I learned it." Bai Renzong suddenly realized, "Anyway, the three sauces are all excellent."
Hu Xin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly shocked: He tasted them all...
You know, the secrets in these sauces are all the tricks he mastered in the production process over the years. Unexpectedly, the other party discovered them all after trying this little... It is indeed a man who can satisfy the boss, and his tongue is indeed powerful.
"But," Bai Renzong changed his tone, while Han Jiayi rolled her eyes: "It's going to start..."
"If it were me, I would bake the chicken legs a little dry and the crust was crisper." Bai Renzong stared at Su Hui and replied, "Because the whole set meal was too soft, the vegetables and cod in Provence stewed vegetables and cod also had relatively soft taste, so the chicken legs should provide some solid and crispy texture to enrich the overall layer, otherwise the whole set meal would be a bit chewy."
Su Hui nodded: It seems that it is true, I didn't expect this...
Then Bai Renzong turned to Hu Xin: "Cod bars... In my opinion, the amount of sauce is too much higher than that of cod bars. There are only six cod bars in total, but there are three kinds of sauce. It is better to just apply a little sauce on each portion of cod. In addition, it is also the same problem as roasted chicken legs. As the only fried product, the cod bar should provide a stronger crispy texture for the entire set."
Hu Xin also nodded to show his understanding. At this time, Han Jiayi quickly smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, go and do your business."
After the two of them left, Han Jiayi glanced at Bai Renzong with dissatisfaction: I thought he would only praise me first and then criticize me, but it turned out to be like this to everyone... Does he really like me? Why didn’t he give me special treatment?
"What are you doing?" Bai Renzong looked at her in confusion, "You said, I can criticize you at will."
"Hmph, nothing!" Han Jiayi snorted, "You can sit in the store yourself! Go back after eating dessert..."
Then, Han Jiayi returned to the kitchen, but the place was already in full swing.
"It's so amazing. I'll find it all after I tasted a little bit!" Hu Xin said in horror, "I feel like a sinner who is naked and waiting for trial! That tongue is so terrible!"
"No." Su Hui disagreed, "I don't think so. He can find the little tricks I use in cooking. I think this is a very happy thing."
"Ah, this is..." Hu Xin nodded, "I feel sincerely happy when I was praised."
"Boss, let me try it next time!" "And I and me!" Others in the kitchen also started to clamor.
"Oh, that's OK!" Han Jiayi calmed everyone down, "Do your business first! The peak meal season has not yet passed! You can cook well, and next time he comes, I will consider letting him taste the dishes you cook."
