Chapter 497

"Audience! The final of the 13th Haizhong Kitchen God competition will begin soon. " The host with a fanatic character, in order to attract more people's attention on this day, specially combed a red cockscomb.

The hall on the first floor of Manhan hotel is full. Today's game was broadcast live by Haizhong TV station and several other media. There are many foreigners in the audience, all of them are in high spirits. Several guests have been present, only the judges and contestants are waiting backstage.

Duan Hong, dressed in a brand-new cook's uniform, was waiting quietly backstage. He had a good rest last night.

The host is holding the microphone, and all the focus is on him. He enjoys the feeling of attention: "ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the contestants to enter. First, he is the dark horse in the competition. Before participating in the kitchen god competition, he made a big stall on Dongfang street, because he did a good job! My brother! Let's welcome Wang Jin

Wang Jin came out first. Because of his wonderful performance in the last game and the birth of a civilian, he was very popular.

"Second, Wei Dong from the chef academy!"

Wei Dong is young and light. In order to show his personality, he wears a green cook's suit and a dark green hat. When he appears on the stage, many people shout, and some of his classmates come to support him.

Then came master Chen of stewed carp, Master Liu of crab roe and lion head, and master Zhao of Nanshan spring chicken. These three chefs, who have been famous for a long time, are calm on the surface.

"There are several special guests in every kitchen god competition. They are all the best in the culinary industry. Now let's welcome the five special guests of the 13th Kitchen God competition. The first one, he, is the most mysterious. Among the five guests, he is the youngest, who is the owner behind the scenes of Manchu and Han banquet hotel! Duan Hong, the king of thousands of girls! Yan Xiaowen, the boss of Jinding international company, once commented on him as "a simple kebab makes a complex taste of life." Please

Everyone looked sideways and Duan Hong came out from the backstage laughing.

"Che, isn't he very handsome, and he claims to be fascinated by thousands of girls?" A freckled young man disdained.

"Second, yesterday he once served as a judge, the successor of the state banquet master, Master Wang Zengqing! The third royal family from Inner Mongolia is aixinjueluosude. The fourth chef from France is Henry. Yes, he has the same name as King Henry. I don't know if his cooking skills can reach the level of King Henry. The last one is from Japan, Yamamoto, a neighbor from the East The host howled hard.

All the ten contestants in the final were in place, with ten stoves in a row and Duan Hong in the middle. Looking at the table with yesterday's eggs and a piece of fresh beef from cattle fan, my heart beat slightly faster.

"Let's welcome today's two judges, Yi Zhongsheng and Yi Lao, the winner of the 12th consecutive Kitchen God! Dong Muxin, President of Chefs Association

Yi Lao and Dong Muxin came up from the backstage and sat on the jury.

Duan Hong's position is right in front of the judges, and he looks at Yi Lao with a smile.

"Game time, one hour! Now, the game - start The host waved his hand and stepped down with the microphone.

See Wang Jinfei quick anatomy of a carp, scales flying, the mouth of a piece of a close, he actually is from the live fish scale! On the kitchen table are chopped scallion and ginger slices.

The host said in a loud voice: "dear audience, the dish chosen by black horse Wang Jin today is one of the classic representative works of Shandong cuisine, sweet and sour Yellow River carp! Like master Chen who stewed carp yesterday, all of them are yellow river carp. This fish grows in the deep water of the Yellow River. Its head and tail are golden, its scales are bright, and its meat is fat and tender. It's a good choice at the banquet. But today, Wang Jin's choice is very different from master Chen's

After swallowing his saliva, he continued: "Shandong cuisine is good at" explosion "and pays attention to fire skill. The world also calls it" food in China, fire in Shandong ". This fully shows that Shandong cuisine controls the heat. You can see that Wang Jin's fish has been processed, and a layer of wet starch has been sprinkled on the edge of the fish's knife. Wang Jin's soup is exquisite. He put the fish into 70% hot oil, Move the light fire to soak and deep fry, and then deep fry the fish into golden yellow with high fire! So close to him, I seem to have smelled the smell of fish. "

The host moved back and came to Wei Dong. He was also using a pick knife to pick the bone of a bass. His two white and slender hands looked very skilled, as if he knew the position of each bone of the fish. He looked attentive, not as naughty as he had just stepped on the stage.

"Wei Dong graduated from the chef college. It is said that before he graduated, more than a dozen five-star hotels had offered him an invitation. Instead of choosing, Wei Dong went back to his hometown Guangdong to study Cantonese cuisine with his teacher Fu. He once said more than once that among the eight major cuisines, only Cantonese cuisine was the first. Of course, this is what he thought, Different people have different opinions. Everyone has his own favorite cuisine and has the right to speak. But look at Wei Dong's serious cutting of this bass. If I guess correctly, what he wants to do is Cantonese cuisine, which represents Unicorn bass! "

The host looked at several cameras, slightly sad: "who can be better, sweet and sour Yellow River carp from Shandong cuisine or Unicorn perch from Guangdong cuisine? This is not only a contest between the two chefs, but also a comparison between the two major cuisines, I'm afraid

He continued to move back. In front of master Chen, he saw that he had already thrown a washed and depilated chicken into a pressure cooker and cooked it over the maximum heat.

"Master Chen's stewing of carp yesterday filled everyone's eyes. Today, he chose chicken as the main ingredient. He used about ten weeks' chicken as the main ingredient, added more than a dozen kinds of rare seasonings, watered with honey, fried with vegetable oil, and put it into a pressure cooker for dry steaming. This is the world-famous five spice boneless grilled chicken!"

The host continued to move in front of Master Liu: "yesterday, Master Liu made a lion head with crab roe. Whether it's technique or taste, it can be called the textbook of lion head. Today, he chose another representative of Huaiyang Cuisine: Huaishan duck soup! I don't know that Huaiyang cuisine's emphasis on craftsmanship, delicate craftsmanship and light taste can move the two judges? "

"The next step is yesterday's Nanshan spring chicken master Zhao. Today, he chose a simple boiled beef. It seems that he is very good at Sichuan cuisine, but in such a big competition field, it's dangerous for him to choose such a simple dish."

At this time, the host, after introducing the front few, went to Duan Hong, "eh? What's chef Duan Hong preparing? He is now beating eggs at 3600 revolutions per second. The eggs soon burst out of small bubbles, and there is a pile of beef pickled in a special liquid beside them? This is the kitchen god competition! He -- is he going to make a scrambled egg

With his exclamation, the audience and camera also cast their eyes on Duan Hong.

Duan Hong looked at the host's cockscomb head and said with a smile, "chicken, you're wrong. It's not scrambled eggs."

"What's that?" Asked the host curiously.

"Sliced beef!"

"Ah The host stepped back and said, "in such a crucial competition, he chose the simplest and most common Cantonese food. Does he have any special magic weapon to win?" When the host presided over the competition, he did enough homework. He not only mastered several major cuisines, but also watched the videos of previous competitions. Suddenly, he thought of a person who always made the simplest dishes in every competition. He even won the championship through a simple green onion mixed with bean curd. That person is Yi Lao!

Can such a young man be Yi Lao's successor?

On the judging panel, Mr. Yi smiles a little and says in secret: "this boy is a bit interesting. He goes the opposite way. You should know that the simplest is often the most difficult to complete. The cooking skill level can't reach the realm of harmony between man and nature. It's very difficult for this kind of dish with simple taste."

The host slipped past Duan Hong and said, "well, what you see now is the state banquet Master Wang Zengqing. If you want to say it's still a master's good means, the challenge is still a master! As a representative of Huaiyang cuisine, he chose a Fujian dish: fo Tiao Qiang! Looking at the master's calm face and attentive expression, he opened fire and put the dishes in the kitchen, showing his true colors. When Yi Lao participated in the previous sessions, he always came second. Obviously, he was determined to win this time. "

"Oh, no, AI xinjue rosud has put on a whole fat sheep with the feeling of pickling and washing. What he wants to do is roast whole sheep with the most Inner Mongolia characteristics! Is it too short to cook a whole sheep in one hour? You see, he put all kinds of spices into the stomach of the sheep, and then made thread from the tendons of the sheep's hooves, and sewed it well. Although it is not yet ripe, it seems that I have heard the direction of the unique Inner Mongolia grassland. "

The host stepped back and said to Henry, "the most romantic country is France. The most gentlemanly cook seems to belong to this Henry. You can see that he really turns over the steak with fork in one hand and shovel in the other. It is said that this steak was airlifted by him from France, and the red wine he used is also the rare red wine of 1986 in the world. I hope he can get good results in a foreign country. "

"Yes? Yamamoto, who came to neighboring Japan, is cutting a live fish. WOW! Look, the salmon is flying in his hands. The sharp steel knife cuts the meat into a thin piece. Eh? What is he doing? He even put the fish back into the water. Oh my God, the fish can swim in the water without any blood on them! It's a miracle. What's more, he only cuts the best back and shoulder of the fish. Can the judges be moved by the exquisite craftsmanship of this live fish sashimi? "

The host turns around in front of the kitchen table for a week at a time, which will make him tired. Like an old dog, he keeps breathing into the microphone. The hearts of the audience are all on their favorite players. After a while, the hall begins to be filled with all kinds of fragrance.

Master Wang Zengqing's Buddha leaps over the wall. Su De keeps turning over the whole sheep on the fire rack and sprinkling some seasonings on it. While Henry turns over his steak, he looks sideways at Yamamoto 12, who is cooking salmon nearby.

Only two foreigners participated in the competition this time. As long as they can win more than Yamamoto 12, they will win. In the process of roasting, they pour some red wine on the steak.

At the last ten minutes of the competition, the host turned his eyes to Duan Hong, with some questions in his curiosity: "Chef Duan, you haven't started frying his sliced beef yet? He beat the eggs and put them aside, then he began to beat the lump with a wooden hammer. No, it's a big piece of beef. Now there are only ten minutes left. Can he make this simple dish

Duan Hong Wen said with a smile: "you know a fart, the eggs and the oxygen in the air blend with each other and oxidize, which can refine its flavor and purity in a short time. The beef I smashed is the hind leg of the cow. The fiber of the beef is thick. Breaking it off can make it taste more quickly. In addition, the pickled soup taught me by the third master is a hundred tests, Five minutes of cooking time is enough. "“ The last five minutes The host specially reminds me. Duan Hong's mouth is up. Let's go! Hold the black frying pan tightly with your left hand and turn the fire to the maximum. Take the spoon with your right hand and pour a layer of oil into the pan. Shake it gently with your left hand and burn 70% of the oil in the pan“ Hi With a low roar, Duan Hong released the spoon with his right hand and slapped the table“ Bang All kinds of materials on the table were shaken by the table and jumped up one after another. Duan Hong quickly grasped the bowl of beaten eggs and poured them into the pot evenly“ Whew A stream of white steam came out. Because of the fusion of eggs and oxygen, sparks were flying in the pot. All the audience were shocked by Duan Hongdao's unique technique and stared at him. The scrambled, heated and liquid egg quickly turns into a whole solid. Duan Hong doesn't make egg cakes, so when the egg is just formed, he uses a big spoon to divide it into several pieces. Sheng Chu! Pour a little oil into the pot again. During the short time of hot oil, Duan Hongfei quickly fished out the whole piece of beef and patted it on the chopping board! Immersed in the soup of beef, juice splashing, sharp knife, almost in a few seconds, cut this piece of beef into pieces. The kitchen knife falls to the ground in silence, which shows his fast and accurate Dao skill. On the judges' table, Yi Lao's eyes were shining, and he praised it secretly! In the audience, everyone stretched out their necks to watch, Duan Beiping proudly introduced to the people nearby: "my nephew!" Han Luo's palms are sweating. Just now, people started to cook. Duan Hong was beating eggs. After beating eggs, he patted beef. If he didn't allow loud noise, Han Luo couldn't remind Duan Hong to start cooking. Xu Qing is quiet on the surface, but her heart beats fast. Her tension is no worse than Han Luo's. who doesn't want her man to be outstanding and show her king's spirit in front of her. The meat has been cut, and the raw meat full of soup has sent out bursts of fragrance. At this critical moment, the host didn't know what to say. He opened his eyes and mouth. In the pot! The soup soaked in beef contains cooking wine. As it goes into the pot, there is a fire in China. Duan Hong's resolute face is set off by the yellow flame, and his shining eyes like Black Agate attract everyone's attention.
