Chapter 687: Huangshan Stewed Pigeon [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
Xu Zhuo didn't rush to ask, if you want to compete, you have to abide by other people's rules, which he knows very well.
Besides, even if there is an ingredient such as pigeons, it may not be able to make the dish of Huangshan stewed pigeon.
Because the Huangshan pigeon stew is stewed in water, it takes at least two hours to make it, and the time given by the competition is too little.
Therefore, Xu Zhuo thinks it is better to wait and see.
You can't be blindly optimistic, and you won't lose face in the end.
At this time, there was still about half an hour before the game, and he wandered to the media seat, where Xu Zhuo greeted a few familiar UP masters.
Meng Liwei took a copy of the competition regulations and handed it to Xu Zhuo: "Have you read the new competition rules? ”
Xu Zhuo really didn't pay attention to this matter, he took it and looked at it carefully.
The top 20 in both the apprentice and chef categories have been produced, and in order to increase the excitement of the competition, the organizers announced that the two competitions will no longer coincide.
After the morning than the apprentice, the afternoon than the chef.
It is precisely because the two groups of games are held separately that the time of the two groups of games has been extended accordingly.
Of course, this is just that the organizers found that it attracted everyone's attention and had a hot effect, so they wanted to postpone the event for a few more days.
Take advantage of the May Day tourist season, stir up the hot spots, and strive to form this event into a trend.
By separating the two sets, the game can be extended by several days.
This campaign will also attract more people's attention, and the ads they bundle with the event will also attract customers.
After the apprentice and chef competitions were separated, the time of the single competition was also extended.
It used to be about half an hour, but now it's a bit short when it's done separately.
You can't start at nine o'clock and end at half past nine, right?
How does this make people do live broadcasts?
Moreover, in Hui cuisine, there are many dishes that are simmered, stewed, boiled and steamed, and these dishes often require more than an hour of production time, and if the time is short, it is not good at all.
Therefore, this extension of the competition time is really good for the masters of Hui cuisine.
It's just that Xu Zhuo, who is not very proficient in Hui cuisine, is a little ......
"In this case, I'm really pretending to be this today!"
After figuring out the rules, Xu Zhuo happily stepped aside, his face full of anticipation.
If the competition time is long, the Huangshan stewed pigeon can be made.
This is a D-level signature dish, not to mention the apprentice group, even if it is the chef group, there are not many people who can make dishes of this level.
Therefore, Xu Zhuo is very sure.
This 20-in-10 selection competition is stable.
However, his move made Meng Liwei a little incomprehensible.
"Why is Xu Zhuo so happy? Shouldn't he feel pressured?"
Zhou Wen also didn't understand a little: "Grandpa Yu came over last night and secretly gave him a make-up lesson, right? ”
Meng Liwei smacked his lips, he was very conflicted.
wants to make Xu Zhuo a blockbuster, but if he is a blockbuster, he won't be able to taste the deliciousness made by Xu Zhuo.
For example, yesterday's shredded radish, when it was his turn, there were only two coriander leaves left.
If Xu Zhuo made another hard dish today, he shouldn't be able to take his turn.
"Look at your greed, go back and ask him to cook what you want to eat, even if you are embarrassed to say, there is no Sister Jiajia, she has been researching food supplements recently. ”
As soon as Zhou Wen talked about Zheng Jia, Meng Liwei ......
Honestly.
Soon, it was nine o'clock in the morning.
The organizer and Guo Shuying gave welcome speeches respectively, and Guo Shuying also specially introduced Yu Peiyong, the first person in Huaiyang cuisine to participate in the Huizhou Cuisine Competition, and Dai Zhenting, a master of Zhejiang cuisine.
The two old men also deliberately got up and waved to everyone.
Then, he began to talk about the history of Hui cuisine as stew, and then pointed out today's theme - stew.
There are many stews in Hui cuisine, in addition to the Huangshan stewed pigeon that Xu Zhuo obtained, there are also stewed soft-shelled turtles, stewed pheasants, stewed ducks and other dishes.
After announcing the theme, Guo Shuying talked about the time of this morning's game, two and a half hours.
That's 150 minutes.
This made the top 20 players happy.
The longer it takes, the easier it will be to perform at your true level.
When Guo Shuying was talking about the rules of the game on stage, the staff was carrying the ingredients.
Slaughtered pigeons, chickens, ducks, soft-shelled turtles and other ingredients are placed on the shelves.
And there are more auxiliary ingredients, such as spring bamboo shoots, mushrooms, yams, etc., which are very complete.
In addition to these, the organizers also prepared a variety of soups such as thick chicken soup, clear chicken soup, large bones, and mutton soup for the contestants to use.
In fact, if you really want to compete, whether you slaughter or boil soup, you should let the students do it themselves.
Because these are also part of cooking.
But the slaughtering link was too bloody, and when the mandarin fish was slaughtered the day before yesterday, several live broadcast platforms were closed, because there were blood shots.
So the slaughtering link was forced to be canceled.
As for the soup, it takes too long.
For example, clear chicken soup also has to be made for at least four hours.
Boil the soup for four hours, even if the judges have the patience to watch, who in the audience will sit and wait for four hours if they have nothing to do?
So, this link has also been canceled.
In this case, if you want to open up the gap with others, you have to start with seasoning and heat.
It's a little unfair for the real masters.
But it's acceptable.
How can the competition be truly fair?
When Guo Shuying announced the start of the competition, Xu Zhuo rushed to the shelves, grabbed two slaughtered pigeons, and took another yam.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He has the skill of stewing pigeons in Huangshan, and if he can't catch a few pigeons at this time, it will be a lot of fun.
After the two fat pigeons arrived, Xu Zhuo took the large stew cup and took most of the clear chicken soup.
Only then did he return to his stove and prepare to make Huangshan pigeon stew.
"Pei Yong, Xiao Zhuo took a pigeon and a yam, he is going to make a pigeon stew in Huangshan, right?
"No, I didn't even tell him how to stew over water. ”
The two old men in the audience looked at the ingredients Xu Zhuo was taking, and they were a little nervous.
It's a bit risky to challenge this kind of difficult dish when you come up.
On the side of Linping City, the old man who was watching the live broadcast slapped the table suddenly, startling Feng Weiguo, who was watching the live broadcast next to him, and Zhao Jinma, who came from the provincial capital to join in the fun.
"There are so many ingredients not to choose, why do you choose pigeons and yams? The difficulty of stewing pigeon in Huangshan is so high...... Did this kid get a little flustered as soon as the game went well?"
Feng Weiguo is the old man's fan brother, and when he heard him say this, he nodded in response: "It's indeed a bit risky." ”
Zhao Jinma is quite confident in Xu Zhuo.
"Xiao Zhuo is not the reckless person, he must have a reason for choosing these ingredients...... Didn't you tell us the same thing yesterday? Why did you blow up today?"
