Chapter 123 Banquet for Thousands of People, the Master Behind the Scenes

"You heard me right, and I said it right too."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said: "Master Sun, don't you want to try frying cucumbers with only oil?"

"Little brother, I understand. Are you trying to test my speculation skills?"

After all, Master Sun is also a professional at cooking banquets. After a moment of thought, he understood what Zhou Zhou meant.

However, he has a straightforward personality, so he is not unhappy because of this: "Okay! Then I will show my hand!"

Soon, a plate of cucumbers fried with only oil was placed in front of Zhou Zhou. Master Sun smiled and said: "Try it, little brother."

But having said that, this plate of stir-fried cucumbers is about frying skill, not the taste.

If it doesn't taste good, don't blame me, you said you can only use oil."

“Haha, it’s really not that delicious.”

Zhou Zhou picked up a piece of cucumber with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and chewed it once before spitting it out: "This cucumber is actually very fresh, and there is no problem with the oil. It's just that Master Sun's skill at controlling the heat is not good enough, and his knife skills are also a bit poor."

, so the frying is not good!”

"Son, be careful what you say."

Zhou Xunjun frowned unconsciously. His son's genes really followed his own, and he was even crazier than when he was young.

Zhang Dehou didn't think it was a big deal. Countryside people are used to being straight-forward and straightforward, and they don't have as many twists and turns as city people.

"What? Little brother, are you saying there is something wrong with my cooking skills and knife skills?

So what’s the best idea? Why don’t you fry one and show it to me?”

Being questioned about his professional level, no matter how good-tempered Master Sun was, he started to feel a little dissatisfied after hearing these words.

After all, Zhou Zhou is just a young junior in his eyes. The chefs on the train are not much more advanced than us who cook the banquet. You are not a first-class chef, so why should you criticize our cooking skills?

When it came to burning a banquet, he was the first person in Lan Qingshan, so Zhou Zhou's words hurt his self-esteem.

"Okay, then I'll fry a plate of cucumbers and ask you, Master Sun, to try it too."

Zhou Zhou smiled slightly, took the pot spoon, washed it, put in the oil, and cut a cucumber into thin cucumber slices at the same time. He put his hand on the side of the pot to check the oil temperature, and then

Pick up the cucumber slices and throw them into the pot. The pieces are separated and no one sticks to each other or the pot.

"The knife skills and the technique of controlling the oil temperature."

Master Sun was dumbfounded. After all, he had been burning banquets for half his life. He was considered an expert and knew the ropes.

He couldn't cut such thin and transparent cucumber slices. Even if he tried his best to cut out a few slices, it would be impossible for him to cut a cucumber in an instant like Zhou Zhou did, and each slice would be the same thickness and size.

.

This kind of knife skills is what he dreams of but cannot ask for. It must be at least the second-level level. No, it feels like the first-level style is already there!

As for the precise control of oil temperature, Master Sun has only heard about it and has never seen it with his own eyes, so he naturally has no ability to evaluate it.

But when Zhouzhou's cucumber slices are cooked in the pot, an indescribable fragrance immediately rises. This is exactly the effect that a chef can achieve by carefully controlling the oil temperature; if the oil temperature is slightly lower, the cucumbers will not be cooked.

If the oil temperature is higher, the cucumbers will be burnt. The ability to grasp this tiny bit depends not only on experience, but most importantly on talent!

"Master Sun, how do you like it?"

Zhou Zhou smiled and handed the fried cucumber to Master Sun.

"Uh, let me try it"

Master Sun was stunned for a moment, then picked up a piece of cucumber with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

"This, this is so delicious."

After just chewing it for a while, Master Sun felt a buzzing sound in his head, and he suddenly became stunned.

Cucumber is the most common vegetable, but it can be compared to fruit!

Some children and even adults like to wash a cucumber, hold it in their hands and eat it raw.

This is because cucumbers have a natural sweet flavor that even some expensive fruits don’t have.

Apples, bananas, lychees, tangerines, although these fruits are good, they can never replace the raw cucumbers of childhood.

The plate of cucumbers fried in Zhouzhou amplifies the original taste of cucumbers ten times and a hundred times. When you eat it, it will be full of fragrance and make people feel extremely refreshing.

Master Sun has been cooking banquets for more than ten years, and has probably seen as many as eight thousand fried cucumbers, if not ten thousand, but he can swear that this is the most delicious cucumber he has ever eaten in his life!

Is this stir-fried cucumber that humans can make?

After finishing the first slice, Master Sun couldn't stop using his chopsticks. He swept up the plate of fried cucumbers like a hungry tiger pouncing on food. After finishing the meal, he smacked his lips with unsatisfied taste, looking like he was having endless aftertaste.

"Little brother, you must be a top chef!"

Master Sun glanced at Zhou Zhou blankly and grabbed his arm: "How on earth did you do it? Why are your fried cucumbers so delicious, little brother?"

"Master Sun, please don't get excited yet."

Zhou Zhou smiled and patted his hand: "Everything in nature has its own unique taste, cucumbers are like this, tomatoes are like this, even if it is an onion or a piece of garlic, why is it not the same?

What the chef has to do is not to discard these natural delicacies, but to make the most of them.

Take this cucumber, for example. If you add chicken essence and MSG, is it still a cucumber? We might as well eat chicken essence and MSG directly, maybe it will taste better?"

"All I do is control the heat to bring out the original flavor of cucumber just right. This is my trick."

Zhou Zhou looked at Master Sun with a smile and said, "A true message is a sentence, but a false message is thousands of books." He has already mentioned the points that should be mentioned. How much he can understand depends on his talent and luck.

"The natural flavor cannot be discarded. It must be fully utilized."

Master Sun murmured to himself as if he was possessed, frowning for a while, scratching his head for a while, as if he had understood something, but also seemed unable to grasp the most important thing: "But, the heat is too difficult to control?

And your knife skills."

"By the way, little brother, your cooking skills are so good, can you represent our village to participate in the vegetable fight at the Thousand Noodles Banquet?"

Master Sun's eyes suddenly lit up: "Little brother, if you agree, I would rather work for you as a handyman!"

Zhang Dehou and Zhou Xunjun were both stunned. As for the knife skills Zhou Zhou showed just now, even a layman could tell that they were the skills of a top chef in a big restaurant. Also, Chef Sun's obsession after eating cucumbers,

All prove that Zhouzhou’s cooking skills are comparable to those so-called famous chefs!

Hearing that Master Sun asked Zhou Zhou to represent Lanqing Village in the competition, Zhang Dehou also said expectantly: "Niece, you can't just sit back and watch what happens in our village."

"Haha, Uncle Zhang, Master Sun, you can rest assured, I will definitely not stand idly by."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said: "But I have one condition. Uncle Zhang and Master Sun will only agree to it before I will take action."

"real?"

Zhang Dehou's eyes lit up: "My eldest nephew, just say it, I will agree to any conditions."

"Haha, actually my conditions are very simple."

Zhou Zhoudao: "I just need Master Sun to keep it a secret for me."

"Secret?

What do you mean?"

Master Sun and Zhang Dehou didn't understand for a while.

"My father wants to buy the land in Lanqing Village, so it's useless if I step forward to win. It's Master Sun who has to step up to the plate."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said: "But when it comes to the critical moment of fighting for vegetables, I will help you and become a cook."

This is called the change of fortune. In the past, two top-level chefs worked for Zhou Zhou as assistant cooks, but today it was changed to him working as assistant cooks for Master Sun, who was cooking the banquet.

"Little brother, you want to help me as a cook? How can you be so embarrassed?"

Master Sun blushed: "But if you insist, little brother, I can't refuse.

What did you say just now, little brother, that you want to buy land in Lanqing Village?

No problem, as long as I can defeat Chef Kong opposite, I will sell all the homestead area under my name to you, and the price is easy to negotiate!"

Who doesn’t cook a banquet? Master Sun is not stupid. He knows that as long as Zhouzhou’s cooking skills are willing to show off, the leader of this thousand-person banquet will definitely be from Lanqing Village, and he will also become famous and valuable.

Multiply.

"Okay, then we've made an agreement!"

Zhou Zhou smiled and said: "Uncle Zhang, Master Sun, you must remember to keep your mouth shut. You must not say that I secretly cooked the dishes for Master Sun, okay?"

What else is wrong with this?

Zhang Dehou and Master Sun looked at each other and nodded in unison.

‘The person with the bond of food appears.

Target person: Master Sun, who has been burning banquets for half his life.

Bonding effect: When this character appears next to the host, various mountain delicacies and organic ingredients will gain delicious bonus effects.
