Chapter 685: Promotion!【Likes and Updates 3】
Xu Zhuo calmed down and methodically made shallots and tofu.
He uses the northern method, which is to blanch the tofu, then drizzle it with sesame oil and other spices, crush the tofu with a spoon, and then sprinkle it with chopped green onions to pose it.
This step is simple to say, but the effect made by Xu Zhuo is very unusual.
After all, there is the blessing of plating skills, plus there is more time to make this dish.
Naturally, it comes in handy.
On the rostrum, several old men were discussing Xu Zhuo's craftsmanship.
"No matter what the taste is, just this kind of sharpness, he should also be allowed to qualify...... Master Guo, who is this kid? Representing you in the Mochizuki Tower competition, but you don't seem to know the chef at Mochizuki Tower. ”
Among the contestants, there are several chefs from the Mochizuki Tower.
There are many branches, and if the apprentices over there want to come to the competition, the store will naturally not stop them.
And Xu Zhuo, who represents the head office, has no communication with these people throughout the whole process, and several old men on the stage have never seen Xu Zhuo when they visited Wangyue Tower before.
Therefore, they are curious about Xu Zhuo's identity.
Guo Shuying didn't want to expose Xu Zhuo's identity.
After all, this child is Xu Jimin's grandson, and he bears the label of Lu Cai.
If a few old men on the stage knew that he was the successor of Lu Cai, they would choose to eliminate Xu Zhuo no matter what they said, so that this kid would slap Hui Cai's face.
He thought about it for a while, and said lightly: "A relative's child opened a restaurant in another place, and this time he came back to visit his relative, just in time, so I helped him register and try his depth." ”
After a pause, he said: "Everyone can judge how they want, don't care about the relationship between the two of us, anyway, he is here to play, it doesn't matter where he goes." ”
A few people nodded understandingly, indicating understanding.
It is estimated that it is a distant relative with a high heart, and I heard that there is this competition and is clamoring to participate.
Everyone has this kind of relative, and they all know how to deal with it.
This kind of person does not need to be biased, nor does it need to be deliberately targeted, as long as the selection is carried out in a fair manner.
Anyway, looking at Guo Shuying's attitude, the relationship is not very good.
After the braised tofu of Xu Zhuo's group of others was ready, Xu Zhuo's shallots and tofu were also ready.
Just like in the morning, Xu Zhuo made a beautiful plating again.
The whole dish looks beautiful and layered.
Even if you don't like tofu, you want to try it with a spoonful.
The judges of this group began to score the dishes according to their color, aroma and other perspectives.
Observe the plating, then smell the aroma, and finally taste the taste and experience the texture.
At last......
After the discussion of the three judges, it was still Xu Zhuo who came out of the line.
"His control over the taste is so strong, a lot higher than the people in the same group, it is clear that he should be the chef of a certain restaurant, and I really don't understand how to run to the apprentice group. ”
Several judges discussed in a whisper, and first reported the takeover to the chief judges, so that they could review it, so as not to be said to be a black-box operation.
Guo Shuying and the others walked down from the rostrum to review the first place selected by the judges.
When it was Xu Zhuo's turn, a group of old men tasted a bite of tofu mixed with shallots made by Xu Zhuo, and they were all a little surprised.
"Kid, your grandfather taught you this dish too?"
"Hmm. ”
Guo Shuying put down the spoon and sighed with some emotion.
He has taught many apprentices over the years, and a few have become famous.
But compared with Xu Zhuo, there is a certain gap.
Not to mention anything else, when those people were the same age as Xu Zhuo, the control of seasoning was definitely not as sophisticated as Xu Zhuo.
I really envy Xu Jimin, who has such a good grandson.
After sighing, Guo Shuying noticed that the players in Xu Zhuo's group were a little dissatisfied, so he beckoned: "A few of you come to taste the dishes he cooks, and you will naturally understand why he qualified." ”
When Meng Liwei, who was not far away, heard this, his face was full of loss: "Yes, I can't taste Xu Zhuo's craftsmanship again, come to think of it, this dish must taste very good." ”
After Xu Zhuo's group of players tasted the shallots mixed with tofu, they really stopped talking.
The gap is the gap, and this has to be served.
Although I had some suspicions that Xu Zhuo was a chef, I couldn't say it.
They are all in their twenties, if they are chefs, and they are still apprentices.
This kind of gap makes it impossible for people to open their mouths at all.
In this way, Xu Zhuo broke into the top 20 with the attitude of a dark horse.
After coming out of the competition, Yu Keke took his mobile phone and said happily: "My grandfather is going to come to cheer you on, and the next thing is the twenty-in-ten trials, are you confident?"
There is faith.
Anyway, Xu Zhuo didn't expect to win the ranking, but just came over to brush Guo Shuying's favor.
Now that the goal has been achieved, the reason why he continues to participate is entirely for the sake of the old man and Yu Peiyong's face.
He has already decided to withdraw from the competition after entering the top ten, so as not to make Guo Shuying lose face.
When it was almost dark, Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke saw Yu Peiyong who was transferred from Hangzhou at the high-speed rail station in Jixi County.
"Hey, Grandpa Dai, you're here too!"
Yu Keke was a little surprised, I really didn't expect that Xu Zhuo was just participating in a competition, and these two old men actually came over to see the excitement.
"Xiao Clumsy, it is said that tomorrow is the twenty-out ten tryout, is there any pressure?"
Xu Zhuo smiled: "No, even if you can't enter the top ten, it's nothing, after all, this is Hui cuisine, I haven't had much contact, this time I just participated in the competition with a learning mentality." ”
For his mentality, Dai Zhenting and Yu Peiyong are very happy.
Although this is suspected of pretending, I didn't indulge in it, which is good.
Along the way, they have seen too many young people who are fluttering because of a game.
Xu Zhuo came in Guo Xingwang's Passat.
Although Guo Shanshan's Swift is very cool to drive, it is a small car after all, and it is inconvenient to pick up the elderly.
It's still a good Passat, spacious enough, and the age spots sit in the back row and don't feel crowded at all.
"I haven't seen Guo Shuying for many years, and now when I think back to the days when we were in the kitchen at the state banquet, it still feels like yesterday. ”
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and now it has become the world of young people. ”
The two old men sat in the back row, full of emotion.
However, Xu Zhuo was a little skeptical about the motives of the two of them coming to Jixi County.
He didn't think the two old men were here to cheer him on.
There must be something else.
When I came to Mochizuki Tower, I happened to meet Guo Shuying who came back from the game site.
The three old men stood together and greeted each other, and an atmosphere of reunion after a long absence arose.
After the greetings, Guo Shuying asked curiously, "Are you here specifically to cheer for Xu Zhuo?"
Yu Peiyong shook his head and asked him a question.
"Lao Guo, are you interested in the title of professor?"
