Gourmet conquest starts from the entertainment industry

Murong Ruoxue bouncing back home after eating and drinking, just entered the house when she saw her mother was still lying on the sofa in the living room, chasing the show.

"Hey, my lord, I brought you some delicious food. I've worked so hard to buy it in line. It's delicious." Murong Ruoxue showed off happily while carrying a packing box.

"It's really so delicious, so I have to try it." Chu Xiang'er looked suspiciously at the takeaway box brought back by her little cabbage.

"What kind of eyes do you have, you actually doubt our brother Mochen's craftsmanship."

"Yo, brother Mochen, little girl, you are not allowed to fall in love early. Although you have graduated from high school, you are not yet an adult."

"Who fell in love early. Who's pig is so unlucky that our little cabbage fell in love with it." Murong Jingwen heard his wife bickering as soon as he entered the door.

"Father, you're making fun of me too. I don't have a puppy love." Murong Ruoxue shook Murong Jingwen's arm resolutely.

"Okay, okay, I was dizzy by you."

"Hee hee, Dad, come and taste the delicious food I brought. I'll help you hang your clothes and put away your bags."

"Okay, our baby is sensible."

"Well, don't tell me, this lobster, this braised meat is a bit interesting. It's a waste of talent to open a small shop with this craft."

"Well, it's really good. It's a bit standard. It's rare!"

"Hey. Right, let me just say, the food made by brother Mochen is delicious."

"Girl, go and get some beers for dad. You don't have a soul if you don't drink wine."

"Get a few more bottles, I want too!"

"Hmph, I found out a long time ago. You two are true love. I was just an accident."

The family slowly ate the lobster with marinated meat and wine. It looks quite harmonious now.

"Brother Mochen, the shredded potatoes are pretty good. Will there be more tomorrow? It's delicious and crispy, and appetizing."

"Unfortunately, it's late, and the potato shreds are gone. I hope that a new one will be available tomorrow."

"It's really delicious, and this oily and spicy pepper is really fragrant. I think it will be delicious when mixed with noodles."

"By the way, I'm a carnivore and I'm basically not a vegetarian, but I really can't help but like the potato shreds made by my brother. So it's not that I don't like vegetarians, it's because I haven't met the person who made me like vegetarians. "

"What I said upstairs, why do I think it's not right?"

"Of course not, he is crooked, don't you see it?"

"I feel that you are doing something, although I have no evidence."

Zhou Mochen saw the noisy diners in the group and ignored them. There must be shredded potatoes. My apprentice still needs to practice knife skills. For the time being, I will give them away mainly.

"Zhuzhu." Zhou Mochen, who was reading a book, thought about the exam tomorrow, and no one would care about making braised meat, so he thought of Zhuzhu.

"What's wrong, brother?" Zhuzhu, who was eating fruit and shaking her legs, asked in confusion.

"My brother has an exam tomorrow. Can you help my brother watch the fire for tomorrow's lo mei?"

"Well, yes bro. But why don't you do it now?"

"If you do it now, the taste will definitely be different tomorrow."

"Brother, did you forget that there is still space in the warehouse. Of course, there is also the kitchen."

"That's right, I almost forgot about this. Then prepare all the accessories for tomorrow. This way you will have more time during the day. Haha, Zhuzhu, you are really amazing."

"Hee hee, it would be nice if I could help my brother."

"Zhuzhu, help my brother grab some poultry and livestock, and now we can make lo mei."

"Okay! Brother!"

With the help of Zhuzhu, the process of slaughtering and cleaning was accelerated. Of course, Zhou Mochen had to do the deboning, and the opportunity to practice the knife should not be lost.

Throw the processed meat into the stewed soup, so you don't have to worry about it.

I took out the sheep scorpions left over from the previous two days, but I didn’t have time to make them. It took a lot of time to deal with them, and I didn’t have time to do them at noon.

Chop the sheep scorpions into pieces and soak them in a water basin until they bleed, which usually takes more than an hour.

After soaking, the sheep scorpions should be soaked in water, and the foam should be skimmed continuously until the soup is clean. Reserve the soup.

Pour the onion and coriander into the hot pan with warm oil, and stir-fry over low heat until golden.

Adjust the heat, add bean paste, onions, scallions, ginger and a dozen kinds of prepared spices, sauté until fragrant and pour in the reserved soup. Bring to a boil, then add sheep scorpion, fermented bean curd, brown sugar, and some salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over medium heat. Until the meat is slightly rotten.

The sheep scorpion is ready, and the marinated meat is also soaked. Take it out and brush it with oil to cool down. Zhuzhu will handle the rest.

Zhuzhu opened up a small storage room in the kitchen to store the prepared food, which is really convenient for Zhou Mochen.

Waking up in the morning is a lot easier. Last night, I finished dealing with the things I need today, and I don’t need to do anything during the day. Just go to the store at that time.

After the morning training and dinner, I changed into clean clothes, went to the store by bike, unloaded the things I needed at noon to the store, and then called an online car-hailing car and went straight to the Center of the Culinary Arts Association.

"Hello, may I ask Yan Dongming, is Teacher Yan there? We made an appointment yesterday. My name is Zhou Mochen."

"Well, yes, the president is here, let me take a look, Zhou Mochen, that's right, turn right on the third floor and turn right to the first office, you can just go up."

"Um, fine. Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"Qingqing, who is this? He's so handsome. He looks like my male god."

"A person who made an appointment for the exam. President Yan personally arranged it."

"The exam at this time has a little background."

"It would be great if I were my boyfriend. In this case, I will not let him go out. I will work hard to make money so that he can cook at home. Watching it every day makes me happy when I think about it."

"Okay, don't dream. Just take a look. How can there be no girlfriend at this level, maybe there are more than one."

"It's a pity. Tsk tsk."

If Zhou Mochen could hear their conversation, he would definitely sue them for slander. When he was in school, the family conditions were not good, and he just wanted to study hard, and he kept a respectful distance from girls. After working, he gained weight and couldn't fall in love. It's okay for an innocent young man to be raped by a scumbag.

Turning right on the third floor, at the door of the first room, Zhou Mochen stood still and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

"Hello, Teacher Yan, I'm Zhou Mochen."

"Come here, please sit down, the young man is very handsome, he has the demeanor of my youth, haha!"

"Teacher Yan, I'm overwhelmed."

"Haha, the young man is still modest. This is the application form for the qualification certificate examination. You can fill it out. I didn't ask you yesterday, which level of qualification certificate you are applying for."

"Well, okay. I'm still an apprentice now, and I haven't taken the professional qualification certificate. I want to take the first and second levels together. Teacher Yan, do you think it's okay?"

"Ang, you can apply for the exam in this way. The theory exam is level 1. That is to say, you have to take two theoretical exams at a time, with a total of 200 questions. You can directly pass the second-level exam for the practical exam. are you sure?"

"Well, sure. Please trouble Teacher Yan."

"No trouble. I'll get someone to prepare for the exam. You fill out the form and go to the classroom on the left on the second floor. Exam room 1. The theory will be tested first."

"Yeah, okay, Teacher Yan."

Zhou Mochen filled out the form and went downstairs to Exam Room 1, where a staff member was already waiting. Submit the registration form and verify your identity information. The mobile phone was also confiscated.

Sit in front of the computer, look at the camera, scan your face for authentication, and click to start answering the questions after passing the authentication.

Click on each question, and you will know right or wrong after clicking on a question. It is similar to the driver's license test, but the questions are different. The general question types are divided into several categories, such as ingredients, names, characteristics, identification and storage knowledge, types of seasoning, methods, etc., as well as food processing and heat treatment. Classification of basic knife techniques and knowledge of technical operations, etc. The most important thing is to understand the knowledge of food hygiene and food hygiene law. The first-order questions are all basic questions, which are easy to do.

Zhou Mochen answered quickly, basically without stopping, any elimination methods, analysis methods are all nonsense, and the point is over. I passed the test in less than 10 minutes, and I called the teacher in the test room to apply for the second-level test, but I still couldn't hold on for 10 minutes. The second-order questions are a little bit more difficult. The range of topics is getting bigger and bigger. But this doesn't bother Zhou Mochen, just like the question about a hardened brain and flowing water.

It took less than half an hour to complete the two exams and passed with full marks. It is not unheard of to pass with full marks in previous years, but I have never seen such a short time.

The practical exam was on the first floor. After Zhou Mochen passed the theoretical exam, the teacher in the exam room took Zhou Mochen to the exam room on the first floor.

Practical exams are not simply a matter of cooking a few dishes.

The practical requirements of a second-tier chef are quite high. Be able to master the overall operation of a cuisine and have a certain number of flavor dishes, special dishes, hot and cold. It can also produce satisfactory dishes and banquets according to different situations and requirements of diners.

In addition, some high-grade raw materials are raised, skilled in various knife techniques, and able to cut a variety of shapes. Can also master the technology of hanging soup, dismantling of livestock and poultry, fish classification and the use of various kitchen equipment and equipment, can prepare a variety of menus, and make innovations according to seasonal changes.

"Mochen, we did some research and the topic for you is duck. In this topic, you have to show your knife skills and ability to make soup. The three teachers will give you marks. If the average score is lower than 80 points Then I failed the exam, and now I’m asking you again, are you sure you want to take the first and second exams together?” Yan Dongming watched Zhou Mochen enter the exam room, nodded to the other two teachers and said.

"Well, no problem." Zhou Mochen looked at the time. At 8:30, it was still time. He turned on his mobile phone and sent a message in the group, saying that there was an exam, and the lunch time would be postponed. Jiang Yingying also gave a warning there.

The phone was turned off and a list was reported to the staff. Let the staff prepare the ingredients for themselves. The staff was stunned when they saw the list and didn't say much. I have to say that the association's reserves are still very powerful. There are all kinds of high, medium and low-grade ingredients, just to prevent this kind of exam.

What Zhou Mochen is going to do is the classic Chinese cuisine, three sets of ducks. This dish is a test of knife skills and fire control.

In a short while, the staff prepared all the ingredients to be used. Zhou Mochen took out his knife box, and the chef was still the easiest to use with his own knives.

Use a knife to cut off the neck bone of the muscovy duck, cut the neck and wings, cut the duck skin, pull out the neck bone, turn the duck skin with your hands, cut it with a knife while sowing, and separate the flesh and bones. Cut all the way to the end of the thigh, cut off the bone, then remove the leg bone, cut off the duck smell, and then turn the duck skin over to restore it to its original shape. Remove the gallbladder from the liver, remove the skin and dirt from the gizzard, wash them together with the duck, put them in a boiling water pot for a while, and then wash them.

The mallards and pigeons are then treated in the same way.

Then put the pigeon into the belly of the wild duck from the incision of the wild duck, and stuff appropriate amount of mushrooms, ham slices, and bamboo shoots into the belly of the wild duck, then put the wild duck into the belly of the duck from the incision of the duck, and stuff it in the belly of the duck. Add mushrooms, sliced ​​ham, and sliced ​​bamboo shoots, close the duck with a knife edge to form a set of duck, and put it in a boiling water pot to blanch for a while.

Put the duck belly down, put the gizzard and liver in a casserole with a bamboo mat, add ginger, scallion knots, Shaojiu, light soy sauce, fill with water, bring to a boil over medium heat, skim off the foam, cover with a disc, Cover and simmer for about 3 hours on low heat. When it is rotten, remove from the heat. Turn the duck over with the breast facing up, remove the scallions, ginger, and bamboo mat, remove the gizzard liver, cut into slices, and mix with the remaining ham slices, Spread the bamboo shoots and green vegetables on the duck together, add salt, and simmer for about half an hour on low heat.

This is a craft dish, the poultry comes out of the bone, the skin cannot be broken, and it is set in series, paying attention to the shape and appearance. This dish is made with heavy fire and knives. It is boiled on high heat, then simmered on low heat for about 3 hours.

After the whole process, Zhou Mochen devoted himself wholeheartedly, and it was the first time to cook such delicate dishes. He also asked about the exam time before. The exam time for the second-level chef qualification certificate is very broad, unlike the first-level chef qualification certificate.

It was past twelve o'clock when the dishes were finished. The three judges, including the staff, stared at Zhou Mochen's dishes in a daze. They thought he would cook an ordinary dish, but they didn't expect to directly enlarge the trick, and the three judges had never seen this method.

The beauty of the dishes made the judges reluctant to destroy them. It was Yan Dongming who had seen the world and was the first to taste it with chopsticks. Muscovy duck meat is fat, wild duck meat is lean, pigeon meat is tender, and the soup is fresh and multi-flavored, complementing each other. Eating from the outer layer to the inner layer, the more you eat, the more tender, the more fresh you eat, and there are endless wonders.

After tasting the dishes, the three judges looked at each other and gave them full marks. Ordinary people can pass the exam with 100 points, outstanding people can get more than 90 points, and geniuses get 100 because the score is only 100. Zhou Mochen is one of the best.

"Mochen, I didn't expect that your craftsmanship is not simple. What's the name of this dish?" Yan Dongming looked at Zhou Mochen approvingly, and he knew that the person recommended by the teacher was not a simple person.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan, this dish is called Three Sets of Duck." Zhou Mochen replied modestly.

"Well, yes, it's worthy of the name. Well, you go to the office next to you to take a photo, and someone will apply for your qualification certificate. Now it has been reformed, only electronic certificates, and all your certificates and honors will be recorded in the association in the future. congratulations."

"Thank you, Teacher Yan. Then I'm leaving."

After Zhou Mochen finished speaking, he hurried to apply for the documents, and there were still a bunch of people waiting in the store. When applying for the certificate, I sent a message to the group and the young apprentices. The exam is over, and now I can go back and order food first. Due to my own reasons, all orders at noon will be discounted by 20%. Let Yingying do the discount directly in the order system.
