In the judges' seat, after Du Yingchun saw the picture, he was silent for a while, and then said: "The setting of the content of this competition is very creative. First, the established dishes are used to remind the contestants, but at the same time, the two most common dishes are removed. , the choice of dishes that are not too difficult to cook."
"In terms of the arrangement of ingredients, whether it is shredded chicken noodles or cold dried tofu, there are great limitations in the selection of ingredients and the use of seasonings!"
“This requires the contestants to use all the ingredients and seasonings to complete the cooking requirements, while also taking into account the taste of the dishes, the final presentation effect, and creativity.”
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at another judge beside him: "Master Liang, what do you think?"
After everyone understood the content of the first game, they all showed serious expressions.
Liang Jue is 68 years old this year and has already retired, but he is also considered a legend in the industry.
Du Yingchun had the opportunity to sit next to Liang Jue, thanks to Liu Yongping's favor. At this time, he represented Fu Chengchun Hotel.
Liang Jue nodded: "Indeed, this year's competition has increased the difficulty in terms of content, but this is actually a trend. A simple cooking competition has been changed into a comparison between cuisines. Although it has increased the difficulty, it is more satisfying. Investigating the personal cooking ability of the contestants can also avoid the situation where some chefs get high scores due to coincidences during the competition."
"However. This competition is very challenging. The ingredients are very simple, and the seasoning is also limited. How to choose the dishes to cook and the display of the operation methods are very important!"
While talking, someone beside him suddenly said: "Hey! This contestant's performance is very good! Although I can't see the choice of dishes he wants to cook for the time being, but this knife is very experienced, no matter how he cuts the knife. Or the choice of angle is very subtle!"
Liang Jue heard the words, watched the video carefully, and echoed: "Indeed, the knife skills are very skilled. Just by looking at the preparation of the dishes, you can tell that the cooking skills should be very good!"
The host immediately said at the right time: "Oh? Let's see who is the contestant on the screen? Oh, it turned out to be Wang Zhonghua from Zang Yaxuan, who was ranked 9th in last year's final and has great potential. "
There was an uproar in the auditorium. It turned out to be a contestant who had participated in the competition and had achieved very good results.
No wonder such superb knife work.
The video screen stayed in front of Wang Zhonghua's cooking counter for a while, and soon the screen changed to another contestant's operation.
Du Yingchun smiled when he saw it: "This contestant's idea coincides with mine. What he cooks is bone-in chicken drumsticks. Although the taste is guaranteed, the overall cooking effect is not very good. Brilliant."
"There are many ways to make chicken legs. The current operation of removing the bones and then changing the knife to cook is actually very good. It is also a great idea to show off your basic cooking skills."
Listening to Du Yingchun's evaluation, others also looked at the host curiously, looking forward to the information of this contestant.
The host took over the conversation just right, and said with a smile: "Mr. Du's vision is still very precise. This contestant is Gu Chi from Nanhu Xingjiachu. He is a very strong contestant. Last year, he won the Great result for 6th place!"
When the name was mentioned, many people present suddenly realized that it was him!
That Gu Chi with the long dark face is a very skilled stir-fry cuisine!
While everyone was discussing, the screen on the big screen changed, and a contestant was tying a thousand knots very quickly!
His method of operation is very different, thousands of sheets are cut into small pieces, and then tied into very small and delicate knots.
Immediately, the host was dumbfounded: "This contestant didn't take the lead in processing the chicken legs, but directly processed the thousands of pieces into small pieces and tied them. The thousand pieces of knots are very small. When cooking, if you don't pay attention, it will be easy. Spread out! It looks very beautiful, but it is a test of cooking skills! Is the cooking risk a bit high?"
Several experts frowned suddenly.
You should know that Chijo is not like other ingredients, it is very soft in nature, and it is brittle and easy to break when cooking.
After stewing, it is easy to become soft and rotten, resulting in deformation and breaking.
So when making thousands of knots, they will be deliberately folded thicker and knotted larger, more resistant to stewing, and less likely to break.
At this moment, Liang Jue suddenly said, "No! Take a closer look at his operations!"
The cameraman quickly zoomed in skillfully, zooming in on the player's operation screen.
Liang Jue said: "Look quickly! When he was knotting thousands of sheets, he tapped them with a spoon, and there was obviously a pressing action when tying the knots. If he didn't guess wrong, he had boiled the syrup in advance. When tying the knots The thousands of knots are glued together with syrup, which can prevent the thousands of knots from falling apart during cooking."
"Moreover, this cooking operation itself is very difficult, but I have to say that his adventure is worth it, at least it left a deep impression on me!"
Du Yingchun also nodded: "Indeed, this contestant's operation technique is very delicate and fast, and his action of sticking syrup can be seen to be very skillful and precise! It's amazing! Look at the angle he fills and the way he presses every time." The method is exactly the same, the size and shape of the thousand knots are exactly the same, I guess after the cooking is finished, the thousand knots should still have the effect of arranging the shape of the plate."
Everyone looked at the pair of nimble knotting hands in the picture, one after another delicate thousand knots were placed on the tray for preparing dishes.
The screen has not rotated, because everyone has the same feeling, such a stable rhythm of operation movements, it is very comfortable to watch, and the movements are completed one by one, more and more beautiful, and the work is particularly meticulous!
Du Yingchun suddenly asked curiously: "Who is this contestant? I suddenly feel that my knotting operation is not necessarily faster than his, and the technique is exquisite!"
Knotting is not a common operation in back kitchen cooking. Because there are few opportunities to do it, few people practice it as a personal skill.
Liang Jue also smiled when he heard the words: "Indeed, why do I seem to be a bit addicted to watching? This sense of rhythm is a kind of enjoyment to watch!"
Someone answered: "There is a saying, this operation is the gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder!"
As soon as the voice fell, everyone suddenly laughed lightly.
The host said at the right time: "I see that everyone is very curious about this contestant, so I will reveal the answer to everyone now! This contestant is the runner-up winner of our cooking competition last year, the chef from Laowei Pavilion, He Jie !"
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
Everyone in the judges' seat couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "So it's He Jie! That's no wonder!"
The host said: "It seems that He Jie's culinary skills are still very stable this year! He is also a popular figure to win this competition! However, although Chef He's cooking operations are very exciting, it is time for us to switch the camera. , let's see how the other players perform!"
I saw the screen beating, and a clean and neat image of the kitchen table was displayed in everyone's sight.
Seeing the situation on the screen clearly, everyone was stunned!
Not only the host whose voice faltered, but also the expert judges and the audience all looked at the scene in front of them in shock.
After a long while, the host was dumbfounded: "This is chicken soup?"
Du Yingchun swallowed subconsciously: "I guess so?"
A judge in the back row coughed lightly: "Perhaps. We thought wrong, right, should we use a chicken leg to make chicken soup?"
All the audience looked at the big screen blankly.
I saw the casserole was standing on the stove, simmering slowly, and other ingredients were placed on the kitchen counter, whether it was hand-rolled noodles, dried tofu and carrots, what they looked like when they were brought over, and what they look like now.
The contestants leaned against the kitchen counter with a calm expression.
Neither planned to take advantage of this time to prepare dishes, nor did he look at the camera to try to gain a sense of presence.
Obviously just standing quietly, but she doesn't feel cramped at all.
In this state, it is clearly waiting for the soup to be cooked.
But can soup be made with only one chicken leg?
So what else can you do with the chicken legs after making the soup?
Suddenly, discussions in the auditorium arose.
Even the host and expert judges stopped explaining at this time, looking at the video screen in front of them, they couldn't find a topic for a while.
What should I say?
This player's operation is a bit confusing!
The host was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was still hosting, so he hurriedly coughed lightly: "This. Chef Liang, look, this contestant, what's going on?"
Liang Jue took a closer look at the situation on the kitchen counter, and said indifferently: "It should be cooking chicken soup, maybe the contestant wants to make dishes like chicken soup and dried tofu. Although there is only one chicken leg, there is no need to pass it. It's not impossible to use too much chicken broth.”
In front of the camera, Liang Jue swallowed the real complaints in his heart.
Of course you can cook chicken soup. The question is, which normal person would choose to cook chicken soup when there is only one chicken leg as an ingredient?
And the competition is still in progress, you must know that the faster the cooking time is, the more brilliant it will be.
After all, there are so many contestants on the scene, and the expert judges are also prone to aesthetic fatigue.
The players made such a choice, so it can be seen that they should have no experience in the game, or have a unique skill in making soup, so they will take the risk.
Although I am curious about this contestant, in the camera in front of me, the picture is completely static, and there is really nothing worth staying. The host introduced decisively: "This contestant's information, come, let's take a look, Oh, it turned out to be Fu Yu, the chef of the Maxima Hotel in Bei'an."
"He is the first player to participate in the competition this year, I hope he can achieve good results!"
The camera turned, and soon began to play the cooking scenes of other contestants.
After listening to the host's introduction, the other expert judges quickly put this little episode behind them and began to focus on the cooking operations of other contestants.
Liang Jue made up his mind. No wonder, it was his first time participating in the competition and he had no experience.
Du Yingchun had a surprised expression on his face. That player just now was actually Fu Yu?
What is this kid doing?
Du Yingchun's first reaction was not that something went wrong during Fu Yu's match, but whether this kid was going to show off his unique skills again?
Before meeting Fu Yu himself, Du Yingchun always felt that Fu Yu should be a very good and calm young chef.
As a result, after witnessing Fu Yu's cooking operations with his own eyes, he realized that this is a chef with a high level of cooking skills and a very creative talent.
Fu Yu has a unique advantage in skill mastery and innovation of dishes.
Before he didn't know that this contestant was Fu Yu, Du Yingchun thought that this contestant was either a rookie who was too nervous and chose the wrong dish, or a veteran who was very good at making soup.
Because no matter how the final dish was cooked, his surprising operation really left a very deep impression on everyone present.
But now, Du Yingchun obviously has a little more expectation.
Because this contestant is Fu Yu!
So he would choose the current cooking dish, it must be because of the latter!
The competition was in full swing, and the big screen continuously played the cooking images of several contestants.
In addition to the few seed contestants booked in advance by the event planning team, there are also cooking shots of some newcomers who signed up for the competition for the first time this year.
In this way, it can not only cover up the purpose of broadcasting the cooking scenes of the seeded players to create a discussion topic, but also can find and predict outstanding potential players in advance among the newcomers.
And there are indeed many outstanding newcomers this year.
Even during the nearly one and a half hours of boring waiting, all the expert judges and everyone in the auditorium showed no sign of impatience.
On the contrary, there are quite a few players whose wonderful operations made them feel bright.
Especially the newcomers in the audience who had the opportunity to come to watch the competition this time were extremely delighted and felt that the trip was worthwhile.
There are no weak players who can advance to the national arena.
Everyone was staring at the player's cooking video on the big screen with great interest. At this time, after playing the cooking operation video of a potential player who performed well last year, the screen jumped again.
An operation screen for cutting and preparing dishes appeared in everyone's sight.
The kitchen knife cuts quickly, and the dried tofu shreds quickly become uniform in thickness under the knife, resembling a matchstick, but not thicker than the filaments of a matchstick.
This looks like a skilled knife skill that has been practiced for a long time. After a while, all the dried tofu turned into thousands of dried tofu shreds.
After cutting, the contestants picked up the shredded dried tofu and shook it casually, and saw the shredded dried tofu shaking up and down, with clear roots, uniform thickness, and neither sticky nor sticky, nor broken.
This is a one-step operation that is very considerate of the chef's knife.
This kung fu seems simple, but people in the industry can tell at a glance that without three to five years of practice, it is really difficult to be competent. (end of this chapter)
