Chapter 432: Seasonal Vegetable Noodles

This time the competition caused by cherries was not named as the second Kunyang Cup. It was mainly because Zhou Kun disliked the last Kunyang Cup that was too sloppy, and the number of chefs involved was relatively small, so it did not reach What I expected.
Zhou Kun and Qian Lina wanted to use this test to reasonably reject William's request to purchase goods, and wanted to let him retreat from difficulties, but they didn't expect that William felt a little ecstasy in their hearts when they got the problem.
"Vegetarian? Unexpectedly, I did not expect the proposition this time to be like this. It seems that cherries are definitely in my palm. Richard, go and help me get morels, porcini mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms and bamboo shoots. All ready."
The ingredients that William chooses are all recognized as highly fresh ingredients in Western food. That's right, even western chefs recognize the umami of bamboo shoots, calling it a delicious ingredient comparable to truffles.
This time, the venue for the competition between Longxing Temple and Chef William borrowed the Galaxy Hotel. Because it was a communicative competition, the chef of Longxing Temple just borrowed the back kitchen of the Galaxy Hotel and did not appear in it. The scene of the competition.
Seeing that William didn't show a trace of panic after he got the question, after choosing the ingredients with ease, he started cooking, which made Qian Lina and Zhou Kun feel that something was wrong.
"Zhou Kun, this is what you said is okay? I don't see the slightest panic on William's side. He knows the vegan banquet in his chest. Couldn't you make a mistake when investigating?"
"It shouldn't be the case. There has never been a vegetarian feast in his restaurant. They are all meat dishes. This can't be mistaken. Is it possible that William was flustered in his heart, but did not show it?"
Even Zhou Kun himself felt that this explanation was very unreasonable. If he had never had a vegetarian banquet, why did William respond so quickly, or is this the basic quality of being a chef?
"Are you talking about Master William?" Mrs. Zhu Yuling suddenly interrupted and asked.
The Galaxy Hotel is her son's property, and it is only natural for the old lady to appear on the judges' bench. As a student in the baking classroom, Zhu Yuling is no stranger to Chef William, even more familiar than Zhou Kun and Qian Lina.
"I just heard you say that Chef William’s restaurant is all meat dishes. This is the same as when he teaches us to make dim sum on weekdays. If it weren’t for Chef William, we didn’t know that there was so much meat in pastry. Dim sum. But do you know why Master William likes meat dishes so much?"
"Is there anything special in this?"
"When Master William was learning to cook, what was popular in the U.S. seemed to be vegetarianism. The restaurant he was in was a vegetarian restaurant. At the beginning, William spent nearly 10 years as an apprentice in it. It only took him 10 years to cook vegetables. At that time, he made up his mind at that time, when he was able to be the chef of a restaurant in the future, he must follow his inner wishes and make the best meat!"
Feeling the knife thrown by Qian Lina, Zhou Kun didn't expect to be inexplicably overwhelmed by his own rollover this time. So William in front of him has ten years of experience in making vegetables. Why doesn't this guy play cards according to the routine!
"Teacher, I didn't expect you to be a vegetarian!" William's apprentice Richard also said with emotion.
"This is still my craftsmanship when I was an apprentice. It seems that I have not been unfamiliar so far. It just happened to teach you an all-purpose sauce for vegetarian food today. You are optimistic..." William was in a good mood and even taught Richard the sauce. Recipe.
"Various mushrooms lose water during high temperatures, and these juices are the source of umami in vegetarian food, so it is very important to judge the heat. Once the water in the mushrooms passes over after cooking, the taste will be much worse. "
"Now ready to install."
Today, William prepared three dishes, a total of them are fried morel mushrooms in the original sauce, fried rice with porcini mushrooms and fresh bamboo shoots, and matsutake tofu soup.
Judging from the fragrance of these three dishes, Chef William's work for the previous ten years is still there, and there is no regression at all.
"Today, I really have the blessing of Xiao Zhou and Master William to taste such delicious vegetarian dishes." It can be said that William's three dishes have satisfied the taste buds of the old ladies.
Qian Lina was a little unwilling, could it be said that the cherry will finally fall into William's hands again.
"Send someone to the back kitchen to ask if the meal prepared by Master Xingyu at Longxing Temple is ready."
According to what was said at the beginning, Master Xingyu would not show up during the whole process, and only prepared a meal of vegetarian food. As for the result, Qian Lina would directly inform Longxing Temple.
A few minutes later, the waiter came with a bowl of plain noodles and three small dishes.
"Zhou Kun, can this bowl of noodles really beat Chef William's vegetarian food?"
Qian Lina looked at the plain noodles in front of her. There was almost no oily water. The three side dishes were braised seasonal vegetables, vegetarian chicken, and vinegar radish.
Just look at the color, it is very faint, there is not even the basic thickening and thick soy sauce inside.
"Tsk tusk tusk, Xiao Zhou is really good at it. I have never heard of anyone who can make Master Xingyu go down the mountain to cook special dishes for one person. We did not expect this treatment today to be enjoyed by us."
"Is this the most famous vegetable noodle in Longxing Temple?"
"With this light soup base and the right flavor, it must be the seasonal vegetable noodles of Longxing Temple."
The old ladies seemed to have forgotten the high-quality evaluation of William's dishes just now, and they turned back because of a bowl of noodles.
"Zhou Kun, what is the origin of this?"
"Try it first. My mother took me to Longxing Temple when I was a kid. I can't forget that taste."
Said that Zhou Kun stopped paying attention to Qian Lina, and started to eat vegetable noodles at this time.
Qian Lina followed Zhou Kun's way and buckled three toppings on the noodles. Even so, there was not much oil on the noodle soup.
She picked up a piece of dried tofu and looked at its pale color and couldn't even imagine the taste. But when the dried tofu was in the mouth, Qian Lina was shocked by the dull but just right fragrance.
Dried tofu, various mushrooms, cabbage, carrot slices and other common ingredients together can actually inspire such a sweet and fresh taste, and the light soup contains all the ingredients very well, and it is sour and crisp. The radish cubes even opened her appetite.
After that, all the judges including Qian Lina ate the vegetable noodles in one go, and Zhou Kun even drank the soup.
"That's the taste. It would be great if you could taste this plain noodles like this every day without climbing mountains." This is also a big wish of Zhou Kun when he was a child.
"Now, let's talk about the results of the voting!" Qian Lina did not forget the business at this time.
"The plain noodles of Longxing Temple!"
"Noodles!"
The five judges present unanimously agreed that Somian won, which made William a little unacceptable. How could his vegetarian dishes be so bad?
"Mr. Zhou, can I meet my opponent and taste his vegetarian dishes?" What made William the most unwilling is that he didn't know who he lost to.
"This, the other party is a monk, it may be a little inconvenient."
"I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to try his dishes."
In the end, the obsessive William found Master Xingyu in the back kitchen of the Galaxy Hotel, and he was cleaning the kitchen stove with the accompanying little novice.
"This...monk, I don't know if I can taste the plain noodles you just made?"
"Naturally."
"But Master, that's us..." The little novice wanted to say that it was their lunch, but Master Xingyu stopped it.
William unskilledly picked up the toppings in front of him with his chopsticks, and he did not speak for a long time after the entrance. The veggie noodles in front of him brought him even more shock than the first time he tasted vegetarian food when he was learning how to cook.
He now fully understands why he lost. With so many precious ingredients, the effect and taste he made can't be compared with the monks in front of him. There is no precious ingredients in the noodles, but every bite of William can taste the food. The most delicious taste.
"Master, I want to learn cooking from you!"
"This donor, don't be impulsive!"
"Really, since I became a chef, no one has made food that can give me such a big impact. I used to cook with precious and high-end ingredients, but today I found myself wrong in front of the master. It’s really outrageous, so I’m serious, please let me be your student!"
"Donor, can you think about it clearly?"
"Of course, as long as you let me be your student, I can agree to any conditions!" William was really willing to learn from Xingyu.

Liang Guoyun didn't see William in the baking classroom for the next two weeks: "What, you said William went to become a monk for the cherry?"
"Tsk tusk, it seems that William must have lost the game that day. This old guy can do this for the cherry, it is really scary."
Liang Guoyun thought that William went to Longxing Temple as if he appeared in a baking classroom, for the purpose of Kunyang's cherries.
The old ladies only knew that William lost to Master Xingyu in the match about Cherry, but they didn't know what happened in the kitchen afterwards, but at the end of the game, William went up the mountain with Master Xingyu, so the rumors that they did not know how to intensify. , And finally evolved a version, it became William because he failed to compete for the cherries, unable to think of becoming a monk.
This also surprises more Michelin chefs. What is the taste of cherries that make William unable to open to such a degree?
