Gourmet Style Beast Taming - Chapter 350
Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Exam Question Outside.
The audience, who had been waiting for more than half an hour, let out a cheer of surprise and anticipation the moment the door to Qin Lang’s Competitive Standard Kitchen opened.
The eleven Food Recommenders on the judging panel also stopped chatting, sat up straight one by one, exchanged glances with each other and turned their attention to Qin Lang.
In the excited atmosphere of the venue, Qin Lang pushed the Kitchen Cabinet Car to the front of the judges’ seats and stopped.
“Respected judges, the dish I’ve completed for this Qualification Battle on behalf of Breeze Restaurant is ‘Sleeping Bull Silk’, please enjoy.”
As Qin Lang introduced, Dan Bao proficiently opened the cabinet of the Kitchen Cabinet Car and delivered the eleven dishes of Sleeping Bull Silk to the judges using Thought Waves.
On the electronic screen in the venue, a close-up of this delicious dish is presented, allowing the onlookers to clearly see every detail.
In the crowd, a surprised look appeared on Su Henian’s face.
Although he was not a chef, as the manager of Breeze Restaurant, he was very familiar with each signature dish.
The Sleeping Bull Silk made by Qin Lang at this moment, from its appearance alone, is almost identical to the one made by Chef Zhong, which made him more confident about the performance of this dish.
Next to him, Xu Qingzhong looked even more carefully. He stared hard at the Sleeping Bull Silk displayed on the electronic screen, not willing to miss any detail. After a while, an admiring look appeared on his face.
“Qin Lang is even more amazing than I imagined.”
Having also attempted to cook this dish before, he knew very well where the key points of this dish lay.
That is to slice the beef along the grain with good knifework into thin strands, then weave the strands into a thread to be cooked.
The finer the beef strands, the greater the improvement to the final taste of the dish.
Of course, the heat control during this process is also important.
The Sleeping Bull Silk that Xu Qingzhong sees at this moment, be it the color or the details of the beef strands, are presented perfectly. He even has an illusion that the one who is cooking this dish is not Qin Lang, but Chef Zhong in person.
You must know, Qin Lang had been exposed to this dish for less than a day.
Was one day enough to master this dish to such an extent?
His gaze moved from the close-up of the dish displayed on the electronic screen to the eleven Food Recommenders who were tasting it at the judges’ seats. Seeing their slightly unseemly moment of tasting until there wasn’t even a drop of soup left in the bowl, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
Won!
Definitely won!
Among the onlookers, there were quite a few who noticed the details of the Food Recommenders’ tasting, and many people were discussing it.
Before today, they might not have heard of Breeze Restaurant, but after today, they will surely remember this restaurant, and that it has a signature dish called Sleeping Bull Silk.
On the other hand, the people from Jiuhe Restaurant on the other side weren’t looking so good at this moment.
The signature dish they were working on took about an hour to cook. This time isn’t very long for a beef dish, but Qin Lang was faster.
As such, Breeze Restaurant had the upper hand.
And the way the eleven Food Recommenders tasted the food, only added to their trepidation.
Soon, the eleven Food Recommenders put down the bowls in front of them one after another, ending their tasting session.
Because the other side had not yet finished, they did not give any evaluations for the time being, but they were occasionally whispering discussions, clearly having quite a few thoughts on the tasting process just now.
Seeing this, Qin Lang did not stand and wait, but directly walked off the field with the two little ones and came to where the people of Breeze Restaurant were.
“Mission accomplished.”
“This time, thanks to you.” Su Henian lightly patted Qin Lang’s shoulder, a joyful expression on his face, “I have already applied to headquarters, after winning this Qualification Battle, you can receive a cash reward of a million.” “That much?” Qin Lang’s face showed a bit of surprise.
With his current savings, a million isn’t an income that can be easily ignored.
“Not much.” Su Henian smiled, “This is what you deserve, and don’t be polite with your uncle, after all, I am not the one who pays.”
Hearing Su Henian’s joking words, Qin Lang was rendered speechless and stopped declining.
His gaze turned to the other side of the field where the kitchen door was still closed tightly.
He didn’t know how much longer his opponent would take to finish cooking.
At the same time, at the seventh floor of Tower of Food.
“I’ve looked at both of your past employment histories.” A tall man with a full beard handed back the Spirit Chef Badges to Shen Qian and Zhou Tianhao, a hearty smile on his face, “Are you sure you want to take my test?”
“Yes, Mr. Gao Yichen.” Shen Qian nodded seriously.
“I’m sure I want to participate too.” Zhou Tianhao declared solemnly.
“Okay.” Gao Yichen nodded, his smile intensifying.
These two who came this time, are a bit unusual.
One had obtained four second-level Food Recommender Badges in a little over the past year, and with just one more could participate directly in the Provincial-Level Cooking Competition. Moreover, they were only in their teens, scarily young.
The other, although his cooking career was unexceptional, had impressive training achievements and was actually the provincial training champion of Tianhua State.
Facing these test-takers, his test content naturally had to be adjusted accordingly.
After some consideration, Gao Yichen’s gaze first landed on Shen Qian, “Let’s talk about your test requirements first.”
“You tell it!” Shen Qian sat up straight, a serious and stern expression on her face, leaning forward slightly in a posture to listen carefully.
“Choose any restaurant on the sixth floor of the Tower of Food to intern for three days. Prepare a ‘seafood’ themed dish as the internship dish, and the total sales in three days must not be less than the restaurant’s original signature dish.” Gao Yichen slowly spoke.
Shen Qian’s expression tightened slightly and Zhou Tianhao clenched his fist at her side.
The day before, they had gone to the Spirit Chef Association in Ye Zhi City, and through inquiring with the association staff and other local Spirit Chefs, they gained a certain understanding of Gao Yichen’s test.
As the founder of the Tower of Food, Gao Yichen’s test is quite different from the tests of other Second-Level Food Recommenders, as his test content often has something to do with the Tower of Food.
The test requirement Gao Yichen proposed for Shen Qian at this moment is exactly that.
Every month, the storefronts in the Tower of Food would have their positions adjusted according to their ratings and rankings. The higher the ranking, the higher the floor.
The restaurants on the sixth floor are not the best, but they are among the upper-level establishments in all the restaurants. The signature dishes of such restaurants will not be of a low standard.
Moreover, the reason a dish is considered a signature dish is because it is sufficiently classic and has a fixed consumer base.
Requiring that the total sales volume in three days must not be less than the signature dish meant that the internship dish Shen Qian offered must be more popular than the signature dish.
