Chapter 234 Chef Qin, the Sea King
Su Rou didn't get an answer because the "fool" actually asked her when she would return to X164 at this time!
I am so angry that I just miss that girl Chen Yan? Is this young lady worse than Chen Yan?
Moreover, whether it is public or private, Su Rou will not let Zhouzhou leave now; Yongliang Province has encountered a sandstorm that has not been encountered in a century, so it will take at least five days to clear the railway ahead. Will you go back to drink sand at this time?
Zhouzhou, you are a senior reviewer of the "three meals a day". It's not easy to get a million-dollar salary, right? I finally left X164 this time, of course I have to make full use of this period.
Thinking of this, Su Rou lowered her head and blushed and giggled. Zhou Zhou was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Su, is there any problem to get three meals a day?"
"Of course, Michelin has been running for many years, but it's hard to deal with.
Yuan Xing just joined Michelin and did not much belittle our "three meals a day", but some chefs are different."
Su Rou looked at Zhouzhou with her eyes shining: "The ranking of the fourteenth weapon list in Qinxing is so ugly. Don't you want to get promoted?"
"What are you going to do?" Zhouzhou was a little confused.
"Qin Jian, the Sea King, is a seafood chef with the 12th ranking of Qinxing's weapons score. He is only 41 years old this year. He not only ranked Qinxing's weapons score, but also won the title of China National Cooking Master, and also won the French Green Belt Medal and Green Crown Award."
Su Rou was talking, and Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan snorted coldly and took over the words: "So it's him!
Humph, this guy is proficient in Chinese and Western cuisine, but he forgot his origins. He opened a five-star Michelin restaurant next to West Lake. He often said that Western food is the most nutritious, healthy and scientific. Although Chinese cuisine is numerous, it has various disadvantages. Some dishes even need to eat insects and snakes, which is not civilized enough!
What a thing, it’s just a yellow-skinned and white-hearted person!”
"What the old man said is, after the establishment of the 'Three Japanese Meals', he has attacked us a lot in major media, and said that our chefs are always welcome to challenge us, but if you lose, you must admit that the Three Japanese Meals are for children to play house! Oh, it's so annoying!"
As Su Rou said, her cheeks bulged, and her pink face turned red and white.
"Anyway, we still have time, so let's go."
Su Rou's words may be suspicious, and the old man will definitely not lie; Zhou Zhou frowned slightly, feeling disgusted with this chef Qin Jian and Qin.
"Okay, okay, go together, I, Old Wu, can eat Master Zhou's god-level food again!"
Wu Jiushu was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. It would be better for Zhouzhou to compete with people every day.
——
One water and one temple in Hangzhou occupy all the spiritual energy in the southeast. The water refers to West Lake and the temple is Lingyin.
Qin Jian’s French restaurant is built on the water street south of West Lake, and is regarded as the only authentic French restaurant in Hangzhou.
There is no water on the water street, but the price of the food here is that the water is broken through the sky. The two-star facilities and hardware dare to give you four or five-star prices, let alone Qin Jian’s five-star Michelin restaurant. It’s really a dish that Lao Wang cried, two dishes, Evergrande broken, and three dishes, Ma Daddy must regret it.
Today is a good day, at least for Qin Jian.
The "Three Japanese Meals" finally faced the battle head-on? And the one who came was the Zhouzhou chef who had become half the sky recently. This is really great. The boy named Zhou was ranked among the top in the martial arts list in a short period of time. He really wanted to see who was sacred; let alone attacking the "Three Japanese Meals" by the way. For Qin Jian, the rise of the Three Japanese Meals will directly affect his personal interests.
Who hasn't heard of his famous name when cooking the food? He became a first-class chef at the age of 21, and the chef at the age of 22 was the three-star Michelin restaurant. Before his 23rd birthday, he received the Green Belt Medal. Why is the boy in charge of the five-star Michelin Zhouzhou? He rose faster than him?
At 11 a.m., Zhouzhou and Su Rou arrived at Qin Jian's restaurant. The Neptune was very particular about etiquette and had brought the service staff and the kitchen team to greet him in advance.
After inviting Zhouzhou and others into the restaurant and getting them to the seat, Qin Jian did not sit down, but stood in front of Zhouzhou and asked politely.
"Master Zhou, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Su, today I want to focus on shrimp as the theme. Do you have any opinions?
If Master Zhou is not good at making shrimps, he can also choose other ingredients. I have a variety of fresh seafood here."
The young people in front of him rose too fast, and Cheng Lin, Huai Anren, He Wenjie, Yuan Xing and other experts who practiced weapons were defeated one after another. Although Qin Jian was arrogant, he did not dare to really underestimate Zhouzhou. He seemed generous, but he set the content of the dishes in the seafood category.
"Haha, I am worthy of being the 12th-ranked Sea King in the Weapons"
Zhou Zhou smiled and looked at Qin Jian, nodded: "I can eat shrimp."
"That's great. You naturally have to drink white wine when eating fish and shrimps. So please come and choose a companion bar."
Qin Jian snapped his fingers gracefully, and a well-dressed waiter immediately delivered three bottles of white wine to Zhouzhou and whispered: "Sir, please choose a bottle of wine as your companion wine today."
Zhou Zhou glanced at the three bottles of wine and found that they were all spiral bottles with a spiral cork, but there was no trademark on the bottle and no information to judge the origin and wine grade.
Old Master Zhang Zhouxuan and Wu Jiu looked at each other with a frown, and looked at each other. Is the one named Qin who wants to use wine to touch the bottom of Zhouzhou first?
This is a bit troublesome. They have never seen Zhouzhou drink wine since they attended X164, and wine tasting is not a compulsory course for chefs. Qin Jian is here with preparation and wants to give Zhouzhou a warning?
Qin Jian smiled softly and spoke in an inappropriate Paris accent: "My friend, I think I need to explain it to you."
"Oh, Chef Qin, please say it."
Zhou Zhou nodded, his face very calm.
No matter how unfamiliar Zhouzhou is, he can see the problem. He took out three bottles of white wine without trademarks, and the test was obvious. Moreover, this question was made by Qin Jian's careful arrangement, and the difficulty was predictable.
We really don’t know much about alcohol, but we can’t resist the plug-in, we can’t imagine.
"My friend, don't think I'm trying to make things difficult for you.
You also know that I have such a little bit of a reputation in the French catering industry, so the owners of some famous wineries have some friendship with me.
Haha, these three bottles of white wine are all non-sale items they gave me personally.
Since it is not a product, of course there will be no trademark. If you misunderstand it, it will be my fault."
Qin Jian, with a fake smile on his face, was like a fox who was about to deceive the puppet: "But it doesn't matter. If Master Zhou, you are not good at choosing white wine, let me make the decision for you?"
After saying that, he looked at Zhouzhou quietly.
The most important step in eating French food is to choose companion wine. If the old China relied on a good waiter to distinguish whether the guests were "dieters" who could eat or the "floaters" who were stupid and had a lot of money, then the polite waiters in the French restaurant would distinguish the guests in the wine selection process.
When you meet a nouveau riche who knows nothing, the polite restaurant waiters will definitely show you a gentlemanly smile when they face you, and you will be killed by death.
Qin Jian doesn't think that a kitchen intern from a petty-civilian family has the ability to choose a suitable bottle of white wine. This is the ability to accumulate experience and consumption quality, but it has nothing to do with cooking skills. Moreover, even if Zhouzhou has recently become a senior judge of the "Three Days" and joined the variety show of Green Litai, making a lot of money, he is just a nouveau riche. Want to choose the right wine? It's impossible!
You should know that choosing white wine is even more difficult than choosing red wine. Most red wines can be judged by the year, but white wine is more particular. If you just choose the year, it will make a big joke.
Not to mention that there is not even a trademark on this bottle, even those who have a certain research on French wine will find it difficult to judge the quality of the food based on their taste alone. This is the job of a professional wine reviewer.
If he hadn't been born with a sensitive tongue, even Qin Jian would not dare to say that he would pick out a more suitable bottle of wine without a trademark; so if Zhou Zhou was willing to "say the loss", he would definitely eliminate the embarrassment very gentlemanly, and then help Zhou Zhou to "select" a bottle of suitable wine. Of course, taking a little bit of the advantage will make him very happy.
"Oh, I don't really like letting others make decisions for me, so I'll do it myself."
Zhou Zhou smiled and pointed to the bottle of wine in the middle and said, "Let's try this bottle first."
The waiter's eyes swept gently across Zhou Zhou's body, and showed a professional smile and said, "Sir, do you need to sober up first?"
Qin Jian glanced at the waiter and frowned slightly.
What a bastard!
His and Zhouzhou are like the five masters in the world. When they fight fiercely, any kind of evil moves can emerge one after another. But this is the matter between the five masters. When will it be the turn of the four ghosts in the Yellow River come to show off?
Zhou Zhou looked at the waiter deeply, pointed to the spiral cork and said, "As a professional French restaurant waiter, you should know better than me that most of the white wines that use this cork do not require sobering, right?
So the question you just now will make me suspect that you are not professional enough.”
Metal spiral corks are different from oak jars and are usually used on some wines with aged lifespan of no more than five years. Often, these wines have a characteristic, that is, they will have the best taste only when they are drunk when they are ‘young’.
This kind of bottle stopper is used in red wines and white wines, especially white wines are the most widely used.
Compared with oak stoppers, metal spiral bottle stoppers have poor air tightness, so this type of wine often undergoes a "self-tolerant" process during storage. You can pour it out and drink it directly, so you don't need to sober up.
This is actually just a common sense issue for people who often go to Western restaurants. This waiter actually deliberately cheated people.
Of course he knew that this was the chef's "guest". He only saw the chef deliberately making things difficult for Zhouzhou, so he had the courage to flatter Qin Jian. Who would have thought that not only flattered him on the horse's legs, but also met a real expert.
The waiter's face turned red when he was said, and he was speechless for a moment. Qin Jian glared at him fiercely: "Why don't you pour wine quickly!
Haha, Master Zhou, don’t be surprised, he is actually a temporary worker.”
"Oh, since I'm a temporary worker, I can still forgive you."
Zhouzhou took the white wine from the waiter, took a sip, nodded slightly, "Master Qin is indeed extraordinary. I didn't expect that even a top winery like Moutong would give you non-selling products?"
Qin Jian's expression changed slightly, and he laughed dryly: "I've won too much."
“The Mouton winery in Bordeaux has a long history and first-class quality, and there is no doubt about these.
But if I had to choose, I wouldn't choose the white wine produced by Mouton."
Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "This is actually determined by the variety of grapes that make the wine.
The Medoc production area in Bordeaux has the world's top-notch "Caberber sauvignon". With Mouton's brewing process, it is possible to have top-quality red wine. There is no doubt at all, just like Lafite, Mouton is the noble among red wines.
Unfortunately, the white wines produced by Medoc, Sauvignon Blanc and Miscade were a bit disappointing. God is always the fairest. Since Bordeaux is given the best red grapes, there will be some discounts on the white grapes.
Moreover, Mouton wine is famous for lack of stability, sometimes surprises people, and sometimes mediocre; plus it is always good at brewing red wine, so if I choose, I will decisively eliminate this bottle.”
Zhou Zhou pointed to the bottle of white wine in the middle.
"Take it away."
Qin Jian took a long breath and asked with some teeth: "Don't tell me that the chef's school is so luxurious that it allows students to practice tasting the top French wine?"
"Well, I didn't learn it in school."
Zhouzhou's tone is plain, but he just doesn't tell you why I commented on wine, because you won't believe it even if you say it.
"Then where did you learn these things?" Qin Jian was extremely curious.
