Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 120: Fengze Garden Competition, Everyone Shows Their Skills
Two more people were added to the judges' panel, but these two people did not bring any pressure to the three people, and the three people prepared in an orderly manner!

The competition began, and the first one to take the stage was the third senior brother Wang Wenchao. Wang Wenchao has been working in Fengze Garden for quite some time. Under the guidance of Wang Dana, he has become experienced and skilled!
What he is going to make today is twice-cooked pork, which is also a traditional Sichuan dish. Wang Wenchao uses pork rump (commonly known as two-knife meat). This piece of meat is fat and lean, fat but not greasy, and is an ideal choice for twice-cooked pork. Prepare an appropriate amount!

Prepare a piece of green onion, a piece of ginger, a handful of peppercorns, bean paste, sweet noodle sauce, fermented black beans, cooking wine, sugar, soy sauce, salt, and rapeseed oil!

Just wash the pork, cut it into large pieces, add enough water to the pot, put in the pork pieces, green onion segments, ginger pieces, peppercorns and appropriate amount of cooking wine!

After boiling over high heat, skim off the foam, then simmer over low heat for about 20 - 30 minutes, until the pork is % to % cooked and you can easily insert chopsticks without any blood oozing out, then remove the pork!
Set the pork aside to cool naturally. If you want to speed up the cooling process, you can soak the pork in cold water for a while, but this may make the taste of the meat slightly different!

After the pork has cooled, cut it into thin slices about 2 - 3 mm thick. Try to cut it as evenly as possible. First, heat the pan, add appropriate amount of rapeseed oil to grease the pan, then pour out the hot oil, leaving a little base oil!

Put the sliced ​​meat into the pot and stir-fry slowly over low heat to release the fat until the meat slices become transparent. Some of the meat slices will appear in the shape of a "lamp socket"!

Add the fermented black beans, stir-fry for a few times to release its aroma, add an appropriate amount of bean paste, continue to stir-fry to produce red oil, and let the meat slices be evenly colored!

Add a small amount of sweet noodle sauce and appropriate amount of white sugar, stir-fry evenly, to increase the sauce flavor and sweetness of the twice-cooked pork!
Put the scallion segments into the pot, stir-fry for a few times, then add onions and other vegetables, and put them into the pot at this time, stir-fry until the vegetables reach the doneness you like!

Fourth brother Li Lin made traditional braised pork. His knife skills were very good. You could tell from Wang Dana’s expression that he was quite satisfied!

Watching the wonderful performances of his seniors, He Yuzhu couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality!
It’s not that he lacks strength, it’s the first time he faces such a competition. So many people are watching him perform while he is busy with his own things in the kitchen. Those are two different concepts!
This kind of problem occurred during his interview in his previous life. When he entered the interview venue, there were seven interviewers at the table opposite him!
He is just a student who has just graduated from school and has an urgent need for work. The more you take something seriously, the more likely problems are to arise!

As you can imagine, I never received a call and failed the interview!

How similar is the present to the previous life? It's just a different form. You don't have to say anything, but do it. That's all!

He Yuzhu’s Kung Pao Chicken was also ready. His fellow apprentices brought the prepared dish to the judges and looked at Wang Dana expectantly!
Wang Dana rolled his eyes and said, "Damn it, what are these bastards looking at me with?"
The big boss and shareholders are here, why are you watching me do this?
“Well, the third brother did a good job, the meat has a bright color, the meat slices are slightly curled, the meat is cooked just right!
The rich aroma hit me in the face, which whetted my appetite!
It's a pity that I didn't serve your delicious garlic sprouts. I lost a lot of points. Of course, it doesn't matter to you. There are no fresh garlic sprouts in winter!" "It seems that this dish is good to be praised by Lao Wang. I'll try it too!"

The big boss knew Wang Dana's character. Wang Dana never showed favoritism or cheating when it came to cooking. He was also curious about how good Wang Wenchao's cooking skills were!
The key to a restaurant still lies in the kitchen team. If there is a lack of chefs, the business will definitely plummet. Without good chefs, the risk of bankruptcy is not zero!
"Not bad, not bad, it feels crispy right when you put it in your mouth, the meat is fragrant but not too dry, Xiao Wang has made great progress!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Boss. Master taught me well!"

"Ok!"

Next was the braised pork made by fourth brother Li Lin. Braised pork is a home-cooked dish and many people were able to comment on it!
He Yuzhu believes that home cooking is the most difficult to make. Unless you have high enough skills, it is better for novices not to make it!
Everyone in the family can make braised pork, and braised pork is the first choice for rice. Li Lin had no choice but to choose braised pork, as he was the last one to become a disciple and there are really not many dishes he can cook!
The four judges did not comment too much. Li Lin already knew the result and was not disappointed!
The three senior brothers have been apprenticing for a long time and have learned a lot, while the younger junior apprentice has brought his skills with him and has good aptitude. He knows that he is just a runner-up this time! !
"Oh, this Kung Pao Chicken is pretty good too! It's spicy, numbing, sweet, sour and salty all in one, and all the flavors blend in harmoniously without competing with each other. If I hadn't seen it being made with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that it was made by a young boy!"

It was time for Lou Zhenhua to taste the food first. He was a famous foodie, and his wife was also an expert in this field, so she had a certain appreciation for the food!
"It's rare that Lao Lou has such a high evaluation, I want to try it too! The chicken is tender and juicy, and the peanuts are crispy and delicious. It's really good. Lao Wang, this is your last disciple, you try it!"

“Well, the colors are rich and harmonious. The white color of the chicken, the red skin of the peanuts, and the colors of the carrots and other side dishes complement each other, making the whole dish visually very attractive and making people hungry at first sight!
The chicken cubes are evenly sized, the side dishes are cut just right, and the whole dish is presented in an exquisite manner. Zhuzi really did a great job with this dish!"

As for Manager Gao, he had already been thrown to "Java Island". Wang Dana was a professional. In front of the big boss and Lou Zhenhua, he was just a yes-man with a strong desire to survive!
Master Wang Dana was delighted when he saw his disciples' performance. As a master, was there anything that could make him happier than seeing his disciples making remarkable progress?
"My disciples, you all performed very well today. However, there is always a winner in a competition. After discussion between the big boss, Director Lou, and me, the winner of this cooking competition is He Yuzhu!"

Hearing his name, He Yuzhu was excited. He walked forward and bowed deeply to his master and the judges!
The first step of career planning finally got off to a good start, which meant a lot to him!
"Thank you, Master, and thank you to all the judges. I will definitely work harder and live up to everyone's expectations!"

Wang Wenchao and Li Lin looked at the junior brother with a smile. Are they disappointed? Of course they are disappointed, but they have to show their skills. What can they do if their skills are not as good as the junior brother?
Wang Dana looked at He Yuzhu with a smile. This last disciple was indeed very good. He had certain flaws in his character at the beginning, but from recent observations, he has become much more stable!
He Daqing, He Daqing, should I despise you or thank you?
