Chapter 890: Losing the Battle and Losing Again!
Suo Zhi saw Cao Zhen yelling in the middle of the stage, and the judges around him looked at him in surprise, he suddenly blushed, and he couldn't wait to go up and throw Cao Zhen into the ice water, calm and calm.
Ten years of sharpening the sword is only for today. Cao Zhen held back his strength, and wanted to become famous in one fell swoop at this food tasting conference, he wanted to take the first place, how could he have thought that he would be in a round of tours, and he didn't even enter the top 16.
Xi Tianlei glanced at Suo Zhi, lowered his voice and said, "You hurry up and control his emotions." ”
Suo Zhi bowed slightly, and the scores of the two were scored by ten judges.
Although Suo Zhi gave Qiao Zhi and Cao Zhen both ten, he recognized the final result in his heart and was very objective.
In terms of basic skills, the two are equally equal, but when it comes to a higher-level artistic conception competition, Cao Zhen is obviously inferior to Qiao Zhi.
Although Suo Zhi hopes that his apprentice can achieve good results, but in a high-level competition like this, there are so many pairs of eyes staring, he can't deliberately help the bias and open his eyes to talk nonsense.
Otherwise, how could he have prestige in the association?
Despite people's selfish intentions, they must be measured.
"Cao Zhen, calm me down!" Suo Zhi stood up and said in a serious tone, "I am willing to gamble and lose, each of the ten judges here is a top culinary master in China, will they deliberately make things difficult for you? ”
"I want to know why! Cao Zhen is still holding a big move in his hand, ready to take it out in the next two stages to win the conference, and strive to get a bonus of one million yuan.
Now that the big move has been prepared in vain, Qiao Zhi will compete in the first stage, which makes it difficult for Cao Zhen to accept.
"You are too much of a knife in this dish, but you have forgotten the old saying, three points of knife work, seven points of heat.
The ancients said that there is nothing unbearable, only in the fire, and the five flavors of goodness. The heat not only directly affects whether the food is cooked or not, but more importantly, it is related to whether the food has a taste, whether it can be colored, fragrant and tasted.
Qiao Zhi used the fire to the extreme when making this dish, so he won over you.
Associated with the heat, not only the size of the fire, but also with different mediums to conduct heat, to put it in layman's terms, some food with oil, fried, this is oil heat transfer: some food with boiling, water candles, water tide, this is water heat transfer; some food with swallow steam, such as steamed buns, steamed dumplings, this is steam heat transfer; some food with fire, fire, such as hanging oven roast duck, this is hot air heat transfer; and some food with hot salt, hot sand frying, such as fried peanuts, fried chestnuts, this is heat transfer.
Each heating method also has the problem of heat and heating time, which will produce changes in the rawness and flavor of the food.
And the heating medium used by Qiao Zhi is very special!
Qiao Zhi, can you take out the fish you took from, the fish head, for everyone to see?"
Qiao Zhi shook his head and said, "It's better not to use it, so as not to make everyone feel uncomfortable." ”
Suo Zhi was slightly stunned, and smiled dumbly, "Then I'll describe it in words, when Qiao Zhi was dealing with boneless fish, he first used a high degree of liquor to fill the fish, if the head of the fish was still there, you could see that the fish could still move its gills and open its mouth." ”
Xi Tianlei smiled, "Qiao Zhi, many of you are professionals, why don't you prove whether Teacher Suo's inference is correct?"
Qiao Zhi smiled, "Teacher Suo's eyesight is brilliant, I did use this idea when dealing with boneless fish, and before processing the fish, I fed the fish a lot of wine. When the fish is alive, it is stimulated, so it can move with its mouth open. Even though fish is a common ingredient, many people also look at it
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The picture of killing the fish, but if you see that the mouth of the fish is still moving, it is too cruel and bloody, and it will definitely cause discomfort. There were so many people in the audience, and a lot of people were following the event through the Internet, and I didn't want to promote violence. ”
Xi Tianlei bowed slightly, "Your reason is appropriate, since it is a public occasion, you still want to promote positive energy, Lao Suo, the technique of removing bones from live fish, or ask Qiao Zhi for advice in private." ”
Seeing that Qiao Zhi recognized his statement, Suo Zhi bowed slightly, and continued to uncover the puzzle, "Pouring wine into live fish is not only to keep the fish fresh to the greatest extent, but also to make the fish heat transfer by alcohol during the cooking process, and in the cooking process, the temperature after the alcohol is transmitted makes the fish always maintain the state of live meat." The mystery must be tasted to know the mystery. ”
Cao Zhen understood Suo Zhi's analysis and interpretation, Qiao Zhi's boneless fish had been eaten, he walked up to Qiao Zhi, put his fingers on the plate, dipped a little sauce in his mouth, and his expression changed from confusion to relief.
Suozhi's analysis is correct, there is a faint aroma of wine left in the soup, not when it is seasoned, but when it is used when processing the fish, not only to remove the fishy smell, but also the key reason for the maximum freshness of the fish.
The role of wine is not limited to this, but also in the later cooking process, a film is wrapped around the outside of the fish, so that the fish does not come into direct contact with the flame, and the wine is used as a heating medium, so that the fish produces a wonderful taste and aroma.
Therefore, the decisive point of this dish is not the visible knife work, but the invisible heat.
Suo Zhi sighed secretly, although Cao Zhen is proficient in skills, he still lacks flexibility in the cooking of boneless fish, and he lacks a realm with Qiao Zhi, on the surface, it is only a point difference, but this is enough to give Cao Zhen face.
Although Cao Zhen couldn't be convinced, it was a foregone conclusion that he would stop in the first stage.
Directly ripped off the chef's hat, threw it on the counter, and left without looking back.
Cao Zhen's gaffe performance caused extreme dissatisfaction among the audience present and the online audience.
"This guy's character is too bad, he loses and loses!"
"No matter how good the food made by a chef like this, I won't eat it, and if I'm narrow-minded, who doesn't know if he will do anything in the food?"
"It's still Qiao Gang Leader, a boneless fish implies a lot of skills, watching his game, it feels like tasting a glass of old wine, the more you taste, the more you taste. ”
Seeing Cao Zhen drop the chef's hat, Suozhi's face was hot.
The apprentice is the face of the master, and the apprentice is scolded for not being good, which means that the master has also been slapped in the face.
As a great grandmaster, Suo Zhi still has the bearing, and he will not complain about Qiao Zhi, but blame himself for going a little wrong in the direction of Cao Zhen's guidance, so that Cao Zhen pursues commercial utilitarianism too much and ignores the cultivation of kitchen virtues.
"Alas, Lao Xi, Cao Zhen is too disappointing, I didn't expect his psychological quality to be so bad, and when he encountered a little setback, the whole person was completely changed. Suo Zhi said in annoyance.
Xi Tianlei comforted softly: "If Cao Zhen can figure it out, it will be a major breakthrough for his cooking skills, if he can't figure it out, it also shows that his upper limit is like this, and it is difficult to improve." ”
Suo Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, and finally understood why Xi Tianlei was an unswerving "Qiao Blowing Party", Qiao Zhi's boneless fish just now was definitely not his pinnacle masterpiece, what kind of surprises would he bring later.
In addition to Qiao Zhi, Kong Fan and Sun Shichao both easily entered the next round.
However, Cao Zhen's failure brought a strong shock to Kong Fan and Sun Shichao, especially
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It was Qiao Zhi who used alcohol as a heat transfer medium, and his imagination was really wild.
Cao Zhen walked under the stage, kicked over several trash cans along the road, and after arriving at the lounge, he was about to take out his mobile phone and expose it to those media, accusing this tasting conference of being fair on the surface, but in fact, there was a dark box operation, all the judges and staff were bought by Qiao Zhi, and he was framed in the first stage.
flipped out his mobile phone and found that there was a missed call, which was from his partner Zhang Jinshan.
Did you know that you had lost unexpectedly and complained to yourself?
Zhang Jinshan made a phone call, his tone was anxious, "I just got the news that our plan to open a branch in Qiongjin is probably going to be shelved." ”
Cao Zhen was surprised: "Didn't we already sign a contract with the landlord and enter the renovation in two days?"
Zhang Jinshan gritted his teeth and said: "There is a problem with funds, and one of the partners I persuaded before that he does not plan to join the company." ”
Cao Zhen said coldly: "How can you make a temporary decision?"
Zhang Jinshan sighed: "I don't know the reason, it may be that he heard something." Originally, we planned to take advantage of the influence of the food tasting conference to open a branch in Qiongjin, but now you have lost in the first stage, and you have no advantage in public opinion, otherwise, forget the plan to open a branch. ”
"Whatever you want!"
Cao Zhen cut off the phone and held back the fire.
My luck was terrible.
Not only did he lose the game, but the expansion of his career was also limited.
......
There was an intermission between the second and third stages of the tasting session, and the organizers arranged the show, and the actors performed songs and dances one after another.
Kong Fan and Sun Shichao got together in the audience, Sun Shichao looked at Qiao Zhi not far away, and said to Kong Fan: "Qiao Zhi is stronger than you imagined, if you encounter it, be careful." ”
Kong Fan sighed, "Cao Zhen lost too unjustly. I guess he didn't want to show too many killer features in the first stage, and underestimated Qiao Zhi's strength, so he lost cleanly. ”
"Let's not be careless, Suo Zhi just now had a high opinion of Qiao Zhi, and the operation of filling fish with alcohol is indeed too imaginative. ”
Kong Fan said in a deep voice: "Cao Zhen is Suo Zhi's apprentice, he lost, Suo Zhi can't say that Qiao Zhi won all by luck, and the set of theories arranged by me is to save a little face for Cao Zhen." It's a pity that Cao Zhen came with ambition, but he didn't expect to stop at the first stage. ”
Seeing Kong Fan being so arrogant, Sun Shichao shook his head and sighed: "We can't underestimate the enemy too much. ”
Kong Fan raised his eyebrows and reminded: "Shichao, something is wrong with you, it's different from before." You have always been very confident in yourself, but now you seem to be frightened by Qiao Zhi, if you are afraid of losing, you can just choose to abandon the game. ”
Sun Shichao knew that Kong Fan was deliberately using the radical method, and said coldly: "I will be afraid of a stinky boy who has not dried up? Strategically despising the enemy and tactically attaching importance to the enemy, this is my consistent style." ”
Kong Fan saw that Sun Shichao had recovered his arrogance as always, and said with a smile: "Let's meet in the finals, let's have a good competition, as for Qiao Zhi, when he is a fart, just let it go!"
At the end of the song and dance performance on the stage, the hostess took the microphone and began to announce the next link, the sixteen-in-eight competition.
Again, as in the first phase, a computer "random" arrangement is used.
When his name appeared on the screen, Sun Shichao was dumbfounded, because in the second stage, he met the person he didn't want to meet the most - "Qiao Zhi"!
