C33 Great Appetite

"This is one of Master Wei's best dishes. It has already reached the peak of perfection in all aspects of cooking. Normal people would not even have the chance to taste it, let alone point out the flaws in this dish."

"But there are still some flaws. Otherwise, Master Wei would not have taken out this piece of chicken to test."

"Even those few old fellows who come here to eat often find it hard to find any problems. However, Old Wei has already gone easy on him. All he has to do is to point out a flaw and it will be counted as him passing the test. "

The chefs had already begun their discussion.

Liu Daqing was also mumbling to himself. If Zhou Tian had answered wrongly, then bringing him here would be a miscalculation. He would lose a lot of face.

"This piece of chicken is as white as a hibiscus. It is smooth and delicious, but it is still somewhat lacking in beauty. The first point was that the oil temperature was too high when cooking chicken slices. The second point was that the crocodile was too thick, and its juice did not turn into transparent glass. Last but not least, this chicken is not chosen well enough and the chicken is not tender enough. "

He listed every single part of it.

Especially Master Wei, who was a chef, had a face full of shock. The first two points were indeed as Zhou Tian had said, he could not control them with ease, and as for the last point, even he did not know. He only had a feeling that it was broken by Zhou Tian.

One had to know that they were extremely strict with the selection of ingredients, and all kinds of vegetables and fresh fruits were guaranteed to be fresh. The choice of chickens was the same as well.

"Wow, you're amazing! "I was even able to find fault with this piece of Hibiscus Chicken. I ate it three to five times and only after learning how to cook it myself did I find out what the flaws of this dish were." Li Qing gave a big thumbs up and praised him.

Liu Daqing didn't say anything, but his expression was enough to explain everything. He was very pleased with himself. After all, he was the one who personally went to fetch this man.

"Did you ever eat this dish before, or did you make it yourself?" Master Wei asked.

"About this, I've only read about it in the recipe and haven't had the chance to make it myself. Today is my first time tasting it, so I would like to thank you for your craftsmanship." Zhou Tian said.

He already had a certain understanding of the culinary skills of the imperial chef's descendants. One must know that the old man had trained his cooking standards to be very strict. However, he was only able to find out the three small flaws of this dish.

It is not appropriate to say that it is flawed, but it is only slightly flawed compared to other aspects.

His sense of smell was far more sensitive than ordinary people could imagine. If he wanted to find out the flaws in this slice of chicken, he estimated that he would be able to find out the flaws in every step of cooking.

"Do you really have that talent?" Master Wei looked at Zhou Tian with wide eyes. He was the one who had bet that Zhou Tian did not possess such talent.

"It's alright …" Zhou Tian didn't know what to say.

How could a taste be considered a gift? This talent is too simple, Zhou Tian thought to himself.

These were just his hobbies. His true talent lay in his medical skills. With his godly eyes, even this old man was ashamed of his medical talent. Otherwise, this old man would not only choose him as his personal disciple.

It was said that in the old man's generation, there was a martial uncle whose talent was not inferior to the old man's. However, this bloodline could only choose a successor, and the martial uncle that was unlucky could only go down the mountain.

"Come, little brother, I have a hollow glass ball. You can try it." Master Qin, who was betting on Zhou Tian's talent, brought out a plate of fragrant hollow glass balls.

Zhou Tian didn't hold back and immediately started to eat. The pill had just exploded and was still very hot.

But it was sweet and crisp.

"Isn't this hollow glazed ball for Dr. Chuan?" Seeing that Zhou Tian had already eaten half of the plate of Hollow Glass Beads, Li Qing couldn't help but ask.

"Don't bother with that old guy. He's already so big, yet he still likes to eat sweet things. He's not afraid of decay, he's angry, and he's going to get diabetes." Master Qin said in a domineering tone.

When Li Qing saw that Zhou Tian had come with Ming Xia, he thought to himself, "Perhaps the two of them are a couple and haven't seen his father-in-law yet. Isn't it too much of a waste to just snatch food from his father-in-law's tiger's mouth?"

"The fragrance of this hollow glazed ball is somewhat lacking, probably because it has been placed on the side for too long; the syrup on each pellet is not even enough, some are thicker, some are thinner; the ratio of white sugar to oil is not fixed, but is flexible, depending on the need." Week still lists only three points.

"Tsk tsk, a young hero indeed came out!" However, this was only one of the tests. Being able to eat it would not necessarily mean one had true skill, because cooking was impossible to achieve perfection. As long as you follow the instructions of the cooking process, you can easily pick out the flaws in it. Of course, I'm not denying your ability, but that's the truth. " Master Wei said with a smile on his face. He was still unwilling to admit defeat so easily.

Zhou Tian agreed. After all, manpower was limited. One could only get as close to perfection as possible. No matter how good a dish was, as long as one wanted to be picky, they could easily find the fault.

For example, if a dish needed to be fresh and tender, then the chef would have to approach the perfect standard as closely as possible. Therefore, you're right to say that the flaw of this dish was that it wasn't tender enough.

This was the way it was in the world. It was always easy to move one's lips.

Liu Daqing stood up with a smile, "All the masters want to test you, are you willing?"

"Sure, but the dishes you guys made all belong to me." Zhou Tian also laughed. He hadn't eaten enough. With such a good opportunity in front of him, how could he let it slip away so easily?

"Alright, as long as you're right, that dish will belong to you." Naturally, Master Wei would not admit defeat.

"I heard from Master Liu that your nose is very powerful, so let's give it a try. You can only smell but not see the dishes. Then, tell him what ingredients are used in this dish. Would you like to try it? "

Zhou Tian naturally agreed with Master Wei's suggestion.

In order to be fair, Zhou Tian had to wait outside the kitchen door. After the dishes were ready, he had to wear an eye-patch.

In fact, Zhou Tian really wanted to say something. The effect of the eye patch on him was like nothing. As long as he wanted to see, it would be of no use even if he was separated by a wall.

It was just a small game, so Zhou Tian wouldn't cheat.

After closing his eyes, Zhou Tian's sense of hearing and sense of smell became more sensitive. He could clearly tell which big pot was cooking in the kitchen, or what dishes were being cooked, and he could even easily restore them to their original state with every step.

It was not that Zhou Tian had any special abilities, but that his hearing could hear the tiny sounds of their every movement. Based on his sense of smell, he could smell the changes in the smell, so he could clearly see every step of the cooking process in his mind.

Ten minutes later, a master was preparing the dishes.

"This dish should be the Four Seasons Meat. The main ingredients should be: Wuhua Meat, Golden Vegetable, Scallion, Ginger, Abominable Wine …" Zhou Tian shouted directly from outside the door.

Shocked voices came from inside.

Not long after, Li Qing carried the dish out. In order to make it more convenient to eat, Zhou Tian directly asked Li Qing to arrange a table for him outside the kitchen.

"This dish should be a pipa prawn. The main ingredients are: prawn, egg, carrot, green melon peel …" To prevent me from saying anything, you actually put chili peppers in there! However, it cannot be hidden from my nose. "

Li Qing brought out another dish.

This time, he was truly convinced. Zhou Tian was sitting there eating happily, and without even taking a look, he knew which dish had been cooked well and what ingredients had been used exactly.

"Wow, it's actually white meat. Cough cough, cough cough. The main thing is that it has a wide belly, rapeseed moss, lentinus edodes, ham …" "How crafty, to think that there was no bamboo shoot. It's a pity that everything was in vain under my nose."

Half an hour later, there were already more than ten dishes in front of Zhou Tian, and they had almost filled up the table.

"Come, let's eat together." Zhou Tian enthusiastically greeted.

Today was truly an auspicious day. There was no need to spend money or do anything. All he needed to do was to move his mouth, and delicious food would be delivered to his doorstep.

Many people could cook these things, but in terms of cooking, cooking, and taste, these chefs were the best. Every dish could be served at a large hotel.

In the kitchen, Liu Daqing had given up cooking.

Master Wei and Master Qin, on the other hand, used up all their firepower. They wished they could cook all the dishes that they knew.

"Master, we're almost out of food today. Do you need to stop for a while?" Li Qing came to Liu Da Qing's side and whispered.

Even though they were large, in order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, they usually didn't store too many of them. Basically, it was calculated that they would need to use a small amount a day before going to purchase them.

But now that Zhou Tian had made such a scene, the chef's competitive spirit had been roused. A stream of dishes came out of the wok and then fell onto Zhou Tian's table.

"This, it's best not to disturb them. Otherwise, if they start a fire, even I, your master, won't be able to carry it. Hurry up and send someone to buy on the streets. Liu Daqing wiped away his sweat.

Faced with such a situation, he could only choose to submit.

"Sigh, in the end, I still have to work hard." Li Qing silently shed tears in his heart.

In order to ensure the secrecy and silence of the Fragrant Sky Garden, the entire garden was filled with chefs and their assistants, with the exception of two servants.

As for the waiters, they did not need them. Those who were able to come here were basically all familiar people and rarely had any new faces. Furthermore, they were very clear about the rules here.

Unfortunately, there were no servants available to help him, and he was currently unable to help in the kitchen. He could only run errands, such as opening the door and serving dishes.

"Don't worry. After this is done, you can come and help me in the kitchen. I need to pass on my culinary arts to you as soon as possible and have a good time." Liu Daqing said slowly.

Li Qing felt that the arrival of happiness was too sudden and was immediately filled with motivation. Who wouldn't!
