Volume 2: King Chef Contest Chapter 185 The champion of the King Chef Contest is......
Qiao Zhi began to deal with black truffles, and the way he handled them was more special.
After washing, the black truffle is carved, first horizontally and then vertically, and after removing some of the corners, the truffle turns into several blooming black roses the size of a thumb with a twist of the fingers.
In the blink of an eye, ten black truffles turned into fifty-five black roses.
The mobile cameraman walked up to Qiao Zhi, adjusted the focus, and took a close-up of the black rose, after zooming in, you can see it more clearly, each rose petal is round and delicate, as if the real black rose has been shrunk.
"This sword skill is simply amazing. The black truffle is already small, and it can be divided into smaller roses on this basis. ”
Xu Kangan's heart was shocked, worthy of Huainan chefs, and their knife skills never disappoint.
Francis's eyes are full of disbelief, and Western chefs also pay attention to knife skills, but the focus is different from that of Chinese chefs.
They pay attention to the beauty and neatness of the food at the cooking level, there are professional kitchen knives for cutting vegetables, meat knives for meat cutting, etc., and even pizza cutting has their own professional pizza knives.
They are even more proficient in the use of each kind of knife, such as his own mastery of 25 knives and 47 "knife techniques" in Western food.
As for food carving, it is praised by foreigners as "the stunt of Chinese chefs" and "the pearl of oriental food art".
Francis had seen Chinese chefs carving them before, such as carving a phoenix on a watermelon or carving a carrot into a small animal, but he didn't expect anyone to break down a black truffle and carve it into a black rose.
If it weren't for the identity of the judge, just an ordinary audience, he would definitely stand up and applaud and cheer at this moment.
Qiao Zhi selected fifty-five female crabs from the aquatic food area, put the female crabs into the pot and boiled them red, and left the crab shells after dismantling.
Qiao Zhi used chopsticks and scissors to take out the crab meat and crab paste, which was supposed to be a very troublesome procedure, but Qiao Zhi processed all the fifty-five female crabs in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Zhi washed the crab shell again, and many people in the audience suddenly realized, "Is he planning to make a truffle crab bucket?"
There is a famous dish in Huainan cuisine called "Snow Crab Bucket", and now Qiao Zhi is obviously innovating and replacing the snowflakes with "Black Rose"!
The difficulty of this dish lies in the seasoning of the crab roe filling, Qiao Zhi chops the pork fat, then mixes diced fish, crab paste, salted egg yolk, etc., seasons it with various seasonings, and finally serves it in the crab bucket.
After these procedures are processed, the crab bucket is basketed and smoked with suitable steam......
After a quarter of an hour, a strange aroma spreads with the heat.
Qiao Zhi put the truffle roses into the crab bucket and steamed them for five minutes before the cooking was successful.
It took about 40 minutes before and after, and among the many contestants, he was still the first contestant to finish the third course.
Qiao Zhi had to finish the last dish first, because he had to continue to put pressure on Wu Linfeng.
If the third dish gets a five-star turn, although the scoring results will not be announced until all ten players are finished, Wu Linfeng will be affected by the five-star turn.
Because generally speaking, if a five-star turns, the score must be above fifty points, and Wu Linfeng has absolutely no chance of counterattacking in the last dish.
The aroma is overflowing, and the steaming truffle crab bucket is served.
Lying quietly in the crab bucket black roses, the water vapor forms a mist after being cold, as if it has been moistened by dew, and it is delicate.
The crab roe in the crab bucket is like a piece of golden jade, which contrasts sharply with the black color of the truffle.
Sun Xiu looked at the half-palm-sized crab bucket and couldn't help but admire, this was completely an exquisite handicraft, and he was reluctant to destroy it for a while.
A full minute passed, Sun Xiu
Scooping out the crab powder from the crab bucket with a spoon and putting it into her mouth, the cameraman is paying attention to her expression.
Sun Xiu's delicate and elegant facial features, eyes, nose, and mouth have a feeling of stretching.
Soft and delicate, and with the unique chewiness of crab meat, the greasy aroma of crab paste, accompanied by the collision of teeth, bursts out with amazing explosive power, and enters the mouth, and a clear fragrance flows back, slowly gushing from the nasal cavity, from the inside out.
It's so delicious!
Sun Xiu fell in love with this dish.
Finally, I couldn't hold back my curiosity, and gently stuffed the rose-shaped truffle into my mouth, with a silky texture and a unique smell of truffles.
There are many theories about the smell of black truffles, some say that they smell like gasoline, some say they smell like garlic, and some say that they are fragrant with honey and straw.
A good truffle is precisely the complex and unique aroma, the smell cannot be described, stimulating every olfactory cell and awakening the appetite.
Sun Xiu didn't like truffles very much, and was originally slightly repulsed by the third course.
But now she has completely turned her previous ideas upside down, and the aroma of crab meat and crab paste is also soaked in the truffles, blending into a delicious taste.
Before you can taste it, the truffle melts in your mouth like toffee.
The feeling of loss was pervasive, and a wave of regret rose in my heart.
It's a pity that you can only taste one!
What if you never get the chance to taste this dish again in your life?
Sun Xiu returned to reality from his thoughts, and did not hesitate to light up the button in front of him!
Almost at the same time, the other four star judges also pressed the button.
The third course is still five stars!
There were exclamations from the audience, because they felt that the champion of this conference had been decided, that is, Qiao Zhi, who had won three five-star turns!
When the dry ice was sprayed, the cameraman was not afraid of the big thing and turned the camera to Wu Linfeng.
Wu Linfeng's face was pale, his expression was wooden, and he seemed to have forgotten what he was doing!
A heart-piercing pain came from his fingers, and Wu Linfeng withdrew from his dazed state back to reality. His face was as pale as earth, and he didn't expect that he had made the lowest mistake.
He had just been cut by a knife.
Liu Da angrily picked up the mouse on the table and slammed it on the computer display screen, although the LCD screen was not broken, there were obvious white damage marks on the smashed part.
"This idiot has made such a low-level mistake. If you don't get the first place, forget it, I'm afraid you're going to be at the bottom now. ”
Liu Da now has the heart to expel Wu Linfeng from the division.
As a chef, being accidentally injured by a kitchen knife is an intolerable low-level mistake.
Especially in public, there is blood on the chef's hands, and even if the bandage stops the bleeding, it gives people a feeling of uncleanness.
Who would dare to eat the food you cooked?
There are six disciples under Liu Da, and there are three who meet the conditions for this competition, and Wu Linfeng was chosen because of his stable personality and ability to withstand pressure at critical moments.
The field is originally ever-changing, and it is understandable to encounter strong opponents and fall behind. In this case, to withstand the pressure and face the difficulties, Wu Linfeng has such potential.
It's just that Liu Da didn't expect that Wu Linfeng would encounter continuous provocations from Qiao Zhi and Zhong Shi on the field.
still overestimated Wu Linfeng's calmness!
However, if you put yourself in your shoes and change to yourself on the field, I am afraid that you will also lose an inch.
Huaixiang Group won the game by this means, and it didn't care about its image at all, isn't it afraid of being ridiculed by the world?
......
In Huaixiang Group, the work rhythm is usually very busy, but today the atmosphere is different, and everyone is in groups
Get together and watch the King Chef Contest on your phone.
As for the superiors, they will also turn a blind eye, after all, such an industry event is only once every four years.
And Huaixiang Group's results this year are very good, with two players entering the final stage.
When Qiao Zhi got the biggest advantage of two dishes in a row, everyone's mood became very relaxed.
However, the changes in the field are also affecting the mood of the group's top management.
"Mr. Tan, I got the news from the scene just now that Wu Linfeng cut his hand with a knife when he was cooking the last dish. Not surprisingly, Shujue Group will make a fuss about this matter. How do we deal with it!" the assistant said with a complicated expression.
"Wu Linfeng cut his hand, that was his negligence, what does it have to do with us?" Tan Zhen put down a document in his hand and looked at his assistant in astonishment.
He's probably one of the very few people who hasn't paid attention to the King of Chef competition.
Because Qiao Zhi and Zhong Shi deliberately stimulated Wu Linfeng, especially Zhong Shi compared his middle finger to Wu Linfeng. The assistant said in a weak voice.
"What?" Tan Zhen has been in charge of brand maintenance and publicity for many years, smelling the danger factors, "They are just nonsense!"
The matter involved Qiao Zhi, Tan Zhen thought about it, and decided to report to the chairman to see how to deal with the next public doubts.
Tan Zhen hurriedly came to the chairman's office, "I want to meet the chairman, there are very important things to report." ”
"Please wait!" the female secretary who was sitting in the secretary's room got up and went into the room to report.
After waiting for a while, the female secretary walked out and said in a low voice, "Mr. Tan, you don't have to go in." ”
Tan Zhen was slightly stunned and frowned, "It's about the image of the group......"
The chairman said that if you are angry at Wu Linfeng on the field because of Qiao Zhi, there is no need to be too nervous, just let it be. The female secretary said with a calm expression.
Tan Zhen was slightly distracted, "Qiao Zhi and Zhong Shi are fighting on behalf of the Huaixiang Group! The outside world will definitely angrily accuse our Huaixiang Group of improperly selecting people." ”
The secretary said: "The outside world may think that the players of our Huaixiang Group are particularly enthusiastic and have a passion for fighting?"
Tan Zhen stood in place and muttered for a long time, "I know what to do!"
......
Along with the contestants, the third dish was made one after another and handed it to the judges to taste.
As the competition comes to an end, the judges hand over the scores for the last dish to the statistician after a brief discussion.
At the same time, the statistician will also add up the scores of the three dishes to arrive at the final result.
Qiao Zhi stood on the gorgeously lit stage, cheers came from the audience, countless light cheering cards, glow sticks shaking, flashing lights flashing from time to time, and many people shouted their own names or those of other players.
Qiao Zhi has mixed feelings, has he succeeded in doing it?
No, it's a minute or two away.
Qiao Zhi thought of his father, would he be proud of himself?
As for Tao Ruxue, she should give herself a warm hug.
and Tao Nanfang, you should talk to yourself about the ownership of the Internet celebrity canteen!
When the two minutes were up, the host stood in the center of the stage and flashed the card in his hand to the audience.
"The results of this King Chef Competition are already in my hands, and I would like to invite the chairman of Wuhai Group and Ms. Sun Xiu to jointly unveil the results for us!"
The chairman of the sponsor is a gentle gentleman, wearing a Tang costume and looking very temperamental.
Sun Xiu glanced at the card and smiled all over his face, "The champion of this King Chef Competition is ......"
Sun Xiu handed the card to the chairman, and the two said in unison: "Qiao Zhi from Huaixiang Group!"
