Chapter 807: Chapter 580: Is This the Legendary ‘Golden Tongue’? (Part 3)

Gently take a bite and savor it slowly.

The taste is quite good, but there are still some flaws.

At this moment, Liang Yinqiu offered his evaluation: "Hmm, Meng Hongze, your stuffed tofu is really well made! The soup is rich and tasty, the tofu is both tender and smooth, and the chili peppers are perfectly balanced, making it an exhilarating dish to eat."

"Yes, Meng Hongze, your skills are truly great, and you’re using the traditional method for stuffed tofu, which is very commendable."

Huang Jun nodded in agreement, then pointed out areas for improvement in the dish: "But, if you want to achieve perfection in the details, the seasoning can be adjusted slightly. For example, reduce the spice blend by about a third so the taste becomes purer. Also, when frying the tofu, the heat was slightly high, affecting its original smooth and tender texture. But to be fair, the stuffing flavor you’ve created is really excellent!"

Wow~

So there really are people who can distinguish various seasoning flavors with just a bite—this is the legendary ’Golden Tongue,’ isn’t it?

Meng Hongze and the other three applicants were astonished after hearing Huang Jun’s evaluation, their eyes widened in surprise!

Meng Hongze stared at Huang Jun in disbelief, exclaiming: "Chef Huang, is your sense of taste extraordinarily sharp to be able to precisely distinguish various seasoning flavors?"

"Hmm?"

Huang Jun paused for a moment, looking at their surprised expressions, realizing his taste might indeed be somewhat unique!

He smiled gently and nodded: "Yes, this is indeed the result of years of culinary practice and accumulation."

Meng Hongze felt a ripple of emotion, somewhat discouraged.

He and Huang Jun are of similar age and he’s known as "the most talented young chef" in the culinary world. However, in the precision of seasoning differentiation, he feels... humbled!

Ah!

Truly, there are always people better than oneself...

He looked at Huang Jun with a newfound sense of admiration.

Unaware, Huang Jun had already followed Liang Yinqiu and the group to Zheng Yaohua’s side, ready to taste his meticulously prepared stuffed tofu.

After tasting it, Liang Yinqiu praised: "Chef Zheng, your stuffed tofu has a very special flavor, and the tofu is cooked perfectly, tender and smooth. Truly excellent."

Huang Jun gave a more detailed evaluation, smiling tactfully: "Overall, your performance is indeed outstanding, and the flavor is very good. However, I feel the tofu is somewhat overcooked, making the texture slightly old. Next time, you might want to adjust the heat, and it could be even more perfect."

"Okay, thank you for your advice." Chef Zheng accepted humbly.

Huang Jun nodded to him and continued his tasting journey, sampling the stuffed tofu prepared by Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang.

After tasting.

He provided a fair assessment: "Overall, the taste of your stuffed tofu is quite good, but the tofu seems to have been cooked a little too long, making the texture a bit old and tough. Additionally, the seasoning was slightly overdone, and the stuffing blend wasn’t mixed evenly, making the salty taste slightly overwhelming. If you can be more precise with cooking time and seasoning control, I’m sure your stuffed tofu will be even better."

Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang listened and nodded sincerely: "Thank you, Chef Huang, for the valuable feedback, we will definitely redouble our efforts to refine and improve."

"You’re welcome, let’s learn from each other and improve together."

Huang Jun responded with a smile and then moved aside with Liang Yinqiu and the others.

Liang Yinqiu sought opinions from everyone: "Chef Huang, esteemed leaders, now that everyone has tasted the dishes, who do you think made the stuffed tofu that is most suitable to stay on as an assistant chef?"

The implication was clearly inquiring who performed the best and is more suitable for the position.
