Chapter 815

Yin Yao was silent for a few seconds before he said, "the judges don't have to know about cakes? It's OK to eat. How can thousands of audience know how to make cakes? Is it necessary to invite a master who knows how to make cakes to convince the public? Besides, the ten judges are also people who know how to eat and love delicious food. "

"And you just said favoritism. Who did you say we favoritism? The ten judges are all from different states and cities. They seldom travel far, and some even eat local pastries. You can't let all the judges come from Beijing. It's unfair to the pastry makers in so many other places. "

Apart from other things, the people of yupinzhai despise the judges. Although the judges are not high in status, they also have backbone.

They are not from Beijing. They can't fight with yupinzhai, and they are not afraid of yupinzhai's revenge. However, the judges are not happy that yupinzhai looks down on them.

After Sheng Wanqing stares at the yupinzhai pastry chef who raises the question, he doesn't dare to talk any more.

Sheng Wanqing's face was expressionless, and she was also unhappy. She asked who qingtingfang wanted to invite for a long time, but the judges didn't find out. She also had a lot of speculation in her heart, and checked the famous people in the capital and other places.

But she never thought that Xu Qing would invite such people. Sheng Wanqing can only guess that it is because these people are similar to Xu Qing in origin, which makes Xu Qing feel sympathetic.

Yupinzhai is not happy, but other pastry makers are in a good mood.

Especially when I see the judges from the same place, I feel more confident.

It took less than half an hour to start the match. With the sound of a gong, the match began.

The order of the competition is from few rows to many rows. The first players are the pastry division of other states and cities. Because the venue is large enough, the pastry division of several States and cities can compete at the same time.

Originally, there were only thirty-five pastry makers from other places. The whole arena could hold twenty pastry makers at the same time, and they could compete in one morning.

However, in view of the fact that there is only one pastry division in Lanzhou, this pastry division can directly enter the final, but it will not be rated as local excellent, unless there is one more pastry division in Lanzhou next year.

Half a month ago, Xu Qing informed the contestants that they had to take part in at most two competitions, and each competition took at most one hour. Overtime was regarded as a failure, so they also prepared two kinds of cakes.

As a matter of fact, we are all famous pastry masters all over the world. With many years of experience, making pastries is as simple as drinking water and eating. Unless it's very delicate and time-consuming, most pastries don't take as long as an hour.

The ingredients are provided by qingtingfang. Some of them are processed one day in advance, such as bubbling hair. Some pastry makers bring their own ingredients, which can be used after checking.

The pastry maker first goes to the ingredients section to select the ingredients he wants to use. There are all the necessary ingredients for making pastries, such as rice flour, beans, oil, sugar and eggs.

Flour, maltose, salted duck eggs and the like are of course ready-made, otherwise they will not be finished in a day.

In addition, Xu Qing also provided milk, fruit, dried fruit and so on, as long as it is necessary to make cakes, everything.

After selecting the ingredients, the bakers begin to make cakes. This scene is public.

Some pastry makers bring apprentices or apprentices to help them watch the fire, wipe sweat and fight. They don't take part in making cakes, but only do chores.

Because there is enough time, most of the contestants are orderly and try to be perfect at every step.

Half an hour later, bursts of fragrance began to spread in the arena. After watching for a while, the audience who felt bored were also awakened by the bursts of fragrance. Their eyes were staring at the challenge arena, swallowing frequently.

Among the 10 judges and 20 selected audiences, each pastry maker has to make at least 30 servings. For those who can make hundreds of servings at a time, this amount is not to mention. Even if the ingredients and time are enough, they can make more for other contestants to taste.

That's right. At the beginning, Yin Yao encouraged everyone to make as many cakes as possible and give them to other contestants. Although the contestants did not participate in the voting and scoring, it made people feel that the cakes you made were not good. It's better to make them more convincing.

Having said that, Yin Yao also told us to act according to our ability and not to neglect one thing and lose the other.

As the more and more rich fragrance spreads, some pastry makers have already made their own pastries.

Xu Qing and Xu Cha recorded next to each other. When they saw that the pastry makers in each place had finished, they asked them to taste it for everyone first.

As for the order of pastry tasting, it is decided by drawing lots. No one has any objection to this point.

Xu Qing arranged two men here to help the first pastry maker to share the pastries with you according to the pastry maker's requirements.

There are tables in front of each judge and voting audience. On the table are plates, chopsticks and boiled water, which is used to gargle.

Everyone has been crying for food for a long time. After dividing the cake equally, everyone starts to taste it at the same time. Everyone seems to be a little impatient.The first pastry maker raised his lips and his eyebrows were full of joy. But in fact, the last pastry maker took advantage of it, because after everyone tasted it, they might forget the taste in front of them and remember the last one.

So Yin Yao also stood up and reminded us not to eat so fast. We'll have a taste one by one to see which is the best.

In the first contest, there were three pastry makers in total. After tasting one by one, the judges and the voting audience had half a column of time to think about it, and then scored and voted.

The judges write their scores on paper in order. Before they come here, Xu Qing has explained the rules of scoring. They can't score high unless it's really delicious. They usually control the score between four and eight. If they think it's average, they will score six. It's not easy for people to come all the way to compete.

After the judges have scored, they can't change any more. Then they announce the scores one by one and give a simple evaluation.

The evaluation is positive and pertinent. According to Xu Qing, don't hit people too hard. If it's great, don't grudge praise. If it's really bad, don't be soft hearted. You should criticize.

For this reason, the ten judges have discussed with each other for many times about how to score and evaluate people at that time. In fact, Xu Qing's meaning is very simple. He is sure that those pastry makers who really have skills should not let go of those who come to make up the numbers.

The scores of the first round came out and the contestants were surprised.

How to say, it's stricter than they thought, and some even only scored five points.
