As she spoke, she turned to master chef Restaurant for a meal.
“We’re all old acquaintances. If you’re hungry, you’re hungry. What do you mean by communicating with me? you just want to eat the dishes cooked by little Yuan. ” Zhou Shijie directly exposed him.
“How can a chef eat delicious food with the word” glutton “? It’s called tasting good food. It’s spring now, the time for a walk. ” Head chef Zhuang immediately replied.
“I think we can form a team.” Head chef Wang felt that it was a good idea.
On the other side, head chef Yue, who was watching silently, also nodded his head in agreement with this idea.
While the main stage was busy planning the spring outing to master chef Restaurant, the competition stage was busy cooking.
What Yuan Zhou chose this time was the oil-fried double crispness, which was extremely difficult to control the heat. It sounded very simple, but it was actually not. The control of the heat was of utmost importance.
The traditional oil-fried double-crispness was generally made with pig tripe and chicken Gizzle. After the evolution of time, some people now used pig tripe and kidney flower, while others used chicken Gizzle and beef tripe, etc.
However, Yuan Zhou would definitely choose the most primitive cooking method. What he pursued was to restore the most authentic taste.
“Dangdangdangdangdang”
Yuan Zhou raised his hand and the knife fell. The pig tripe that had been processed earlier scattered very quickly like a fairy scattering flowers. It was snow-white and looked like snowflakes at first glance.
After dealing with the pork tripe, Yuan Zhou began to deal with the chicken gizzards again. His technique was skillful and natural with a rhythm of his own. At first glance, he looked like a master.
Qin Hua and the other two were not to be outdone either. Furthermore, they had more people, so it was even more lively. They were also extremely fast.
Gao Fei was the fastest. He was almost done. What he did was the simplest and took the shortest time.
What Gao Fei made was shredded Chinese yam, and before it was even placed on the plate, a sweet smell already swept through the entire venue.
“Judges, I’m done.” Gao Fei specially took a look at Qin Hua and Yuan Zhou before he shouted loudly.
He had indeed taken Qin Hua as his biggest rival and Yuan Zhou as his second rival.
It was obvious that Gao Fei had misunderstood his own strength.
When Xiao Li saw that Gao Fei was done, she immediately asked the waiter to bring the dishes away for the judges to try.
For convenience’s sake, the food was placed in five small, snow-white plates. In each plate, Gao Fei placed three pieces of Chinese yam cut with a rolling knife. There were some sesame seeds on top of them, forming a sharp contrast with the color of persimmons.
There wasn’t much food, so they arranged for a waitress. She was a pretty lady. She carried a tray and put five small plates in.
“Clang!”
The young lady placed the five plates in front of the five judges and quickly left.
As for Gao Fei, he started to feel a little nervous when the dishes were placed in front of the judges. After all, this was the moment that would decide his fate. It was no exaggeration to say that the silver spoon had a unique symbolic meaning in Lu cuisine.
This plucked Chinese yam did not disgrace Gao Fei’s reputation of “flipping the pot and overturning the sea”. The sugar on the Chinese yam was very even, making it look like he was wearing a light yellow coat. The color was pretty good against the slightly yellow Chinese yam inside.
“Let’s try. ” Zhou Shijie said directly.
He picked up his chopsticks and intended to pick up a piece of Chinese yam to try. After Zhou Shijie made his move, the others also started to do the same.
“Si la”
He picked up a piece of yam and pulled out a shiny sugar thread. There was about a meter between the table and his mouth, but the sugar thread was tough enough not to break.
“Ka Cha!”
The first thing he bit was the outer layer of sugar coating, followed by the soft and sticky yam. Because it was a deep-fried yam in advance, in addition to the crispness of the sugar coating, the outer layer of the yam was a little crispy. Then, the soft and sticky texture followed. It was indeed worthy of being a top dessert. The taste was quite good.
“The taste is not bad. It’s crispy, sweet, and glutinous. Not bad.” Head chef Zhuang nodded his head as he ate. It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with this dish.
Head chef Mai, who was beside him, was also quite satisfied with the dish.
Zhou Shijie, head chef Wang and head chef Yue, who were the first to eat, didn’t say anything. Instead, they habitually finished the three pieces of Chinese yam on the plate. Then, they looked at the sesame and sugar syrup on the plate and became silent.
To be honest, Gao Fei’s standard was really not bad. However, he couldn’t stand the fact that Zhou Shijie, head chef Wang, and head chef Yue had all been to Yuan Zhou’s master chef Restaurant to eat this dish.
What left a deep impression on them at that time was the shredded Chinese yam served by Yuan Zhou. It was extremely hot. If Yuan Zhou hadn’t prepared a bowl of cold boiled Chinese yam and told them to rinse it before eating it, their mouths would have been scalded and blistered. Secondly, after they ate it, the plate was as white as new. It was really not licked by them, but just like that after they ate it.
Hence, the three of them felt that Gao Fei’s plucked Chinese yam had not met their expectations.
In fact, it was really unfair to compare the delicacies cooked by Yuan Zhou with Gao Fei ‘s.
The scoring method of the silver spoon culinary competition was different from that of ordinary cooking competitions. In the first round, no matter how many people there were, only two people would be selected for the second round of the competition. There would be no scoring. The judges would directly taste all the dishes and then make their choice. It could be said that the rules were very arbitrary.
“It’s alright, it’s alright. ” When Gao Fei saw the five judges ‘expressions, he felt that they should be satisfied, so he was temporarily at ease.
The dishes that needed to reflect the fire power were basically not Kungfu dishes. The first one to be cooked was definitely Yuan Zhou. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had to wait for a while to process the pork tripe and chicken Gizzle, he would definitely be the first one to finish cooking. After all, he was someone who could compete with a team of chefs by himself.
“Judges, I’m done here.” Yuan Zhou raised his hand and said.
There were five small plates in front of him, and he chose the dark brown rough porcelain plate. The rough texture was not as fine as the fine porcelain, but it was very suitable against the white and red colors.
As usual, the young lady came over with a tray and carefully placed the five plates on the tray one by one, then carried it to the podium.
The red and white on each plate were clearly distinguished. One side was red, and the other side was white. The Chu River Han boundary was very clear, and the most amazing thing was that it looked like there was only one red and one white, nothing else.
“That’s too little. ” Head chef Wang couldn’t help but Mutter.
“Your eyes are really bad. Look closely, your cutting skills are amazing.” Head chef Yue couldn’t help but retort. Of course, his head was almost reaching into the plate.
Upon hearing head chef Yue’s reminder, not only head chef Wang, but also head chef Zhuang and head chef mag also moved closer to take a look.
Only then did he realize that it wasn’t actually a single piece. The thickness of it didn’t feel like it was just a single piece.
Therefore, as soon as the plate was served, Zhou Shijie’s first action was to use the chopsticks to move the white and red parts. Then, like a fan, the two parts slowly spread out and covered the entire plate. Of course, there was still a clear distinction between the two.
Seeing Zhou Shijie’s action, the other four couldn’t help but follow suit. Then, it was the moment to witness a miracle. They really dispersed.
“Doesn’t this Kasaya look like a Camellia?” Head chef Mai looked hesitantly at the scattered stomach and chicken gizzards on his plate.
Actually, head chef Mai could have eliminated that possibility with confidence.
