Chapter 421: Cold Dish Compet.i.tion

The process was direct and fast.

The remaining four people stood on the stage. Among them, there was actually a woman.

“They can’t really hire a woman as a chef, right?”

Someone scratched his head and said softly.

“What’s the last round?!” Someone cared more about the compet.i.tion and shouted excitedly from below.

Ye Lulu said loudly, “Pa.s.sing the test of knife skills can be considered having a basic foundation. In that case, the next test will be a test of one’s true skills. They’ll have to cook a dish in front of everyone.”

“As we are limited by the venue, we can’t start a fire to make hot dishes here. Thus, we’ll test the seasoning. They will make cold stir-fried vegetables.”

Mother Rong and the two sisters-in-law carried the ingredients to the table. Ye Lulu continued, “Cold stir-fried vegetables can be considered a dish, and it can also showcase one’s skills in seasoning. It’s like this. We’ll provide the same ingredients. As to how to make the cold stir-fried vegetables and how to season them, it’s all up to you.”

“The ingredients we provide are cuc.u.mbers, wood ears, and beancurd sheets.”

Ye Lulu had developed the beancurd sheets herself. She had already made it when she was at the Guan family’s house in the mountains. She did not know if there were other places in the Shang dynasty that sold this now, but the living standards of the Shang dynasty were much higher than in the past dynasties. There was quite a lot of food in the Shang dynasty and the craftsmans.h.i.+p of making tofu was very high. Ye Lulu felt that there should be other places that had already started making beancurd sheets.

This was not considered expensive.

There were soy products everywhere.

However, only the Guan family knew about the beancurd sheets. These people were still unfamiliar with such things. Ye Lulu did not want to expose the beancurd sheets. She brought out the beancurd sheets as ingredients because she wanted to bring out the best taste of the cold dish.

Therefore, the beancurd sheets served were already cooked and cooled. It was soft and yellow in color, and looked very alluring.

When the four of them heard that this was a secret dish from Linhe Zhai Xing Lou, they did not dare to be careless. However, they did not know what this was. After thinking carefully for a moment, they followed their own guesses and carefully made cold stir-fried vegetables.

This compet.i.tion tested their knife skills again.

The texture was also emphasized. The ingredients were cut thick and thin. The texture of the dish was different when mixed.

Finally, it was about seasoning. This was also the most important thing. One’s skills could be determined with the taste of the seasoning.

The four of them were making cold stir-fried vegetables in front of everyone. It was also a compet.i.tion. The psychological pressure increased exponentially. Apart from wanting to be a chef, they were also a little nervous from being surrounded.

Their methods were different and they made the dish quickly. Soon, the few of them were done and placed the dishes in front of them.

Ye Lulu went forward and tried them one by one with her chopsticks.

Everyone couldn’t help but crane their necks to see. Someone joined in the fun and shouted, “Shopkeeper, we can’t taste anything like this. We don’t know which tastes better! We don’t know if it’s fair or not.”

Ye Lulu looked back and emphasized with a calm expression, “First of all, I have to make it clear to everyone that our restaurant is the one who is hiring the chefs, and we’re the ones who pay the monthly salary. Therefore, no matter who we hire, it’s our restaurant who decides. It’s up to me if I like someone’s dish or if I want to hire them.”

Everyone fell silent.

Ye Lulu was unwilling to let others manipulate her decision. She emphasized this point and continued, “I’m letting everyone see this for a certain level of fairness, and this is the process of the compet.i.tion. We will base the decision on what we taste, but our restaurant will not hire useless people.”
