Volume 2: Chef King Contest Chapter 079 Why do good times always meet by chance?
The good times always seem to be so short, and they are always forcibly interrupted by sudden changes!
Da Da Da ......
Discordant voices appear......
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Tao Ruxue was smart, although she was reluctant, she still pushed Qiao Zhi away.
The woman was panting, and Xia flew her cheeks.
The man's face was stunned and dissatisfied.
"My sister is outside. ”
"So what. We're husband and wife, and we're a little bit close, so what's the point, even if we get bumped into?"
"Don't take an inch. You and I are only husband and wife in name. ”
Women are still hard-mouthed!
The doorknob made a gada-gada, and someone was about to enter from the outside.
Tao Ruxue hurriedly opened the door and almost collided with Tao Rushuang.
Tao Rushuang stared at Qiao Zhi's face for a long time, "Is the lipstick delicious?"
Qiao Zhi subconsciously wiped his mouth, is there a lip print?
"It's ok. ”
Tao Rushuang said angrily: "So next time you quarrel, don't touch my sister's lipstick." ”
Tao Rushuang originally planned to send Qiao Zhi some hoarded ointment, but when she saw the two of them being knocked out at the scene, she looked like a good thing.
Suddenly a little boring, they are husband and wife, I am a sister, what are you mixing in it?
Tao Rushuang walked into the room, collapsed directly on the bed, and looked up at the ceiling.
She still admires Qiao Zhi very much, and she really did it step by step to warm Tao Ruxue.
However, Tao Rushuang still felt that Qiao Zhi was a little stupid.
There are so many excellent women in the world, why do they have a soft spot for Tao Ruxue?
Tao Ruxue, whether she is a girlfriend or a wife, is not qualified.
Of course, Tao Rushuang felt that she was the same.
The mobile phone rang, Tao Rushuang glanced at it, it was a message from the pet store owner Tu Hui.
A joke about pets.
The puppy and kitten went to court to sue for divorce shortly after they got married.
The elephant judge asked the reason, and the puppy said, "The kitten does not return every day, and I suspect that it has split its legs!"
The kitten was full of grievances, "I'm just chasing mice." ”
Puppy: "Look, it admitted!"
Tu Hui often does this, it should be for customers.
Tao Rushuang still did not reply as usual, and threw the phone aside.
......
The internal selection of Huaixiang Group entered the second round, because the first round was very strict, so the scores of the first round will be carried into the second round and will be included in the final results.
Qiao Zhi was called a celebrity in the internal competition because of his outstanding performance in the first round.
There are some people who will come and say hello to him, especially those who are seeded.
The internal selection competition is not only to select talents for the King of Chefs competition, but also to screen out elite reserve talents for Huaixiang Group.
In the future, these people will be the backbone of the Huaixiang Group and even Huainan cuisine, and some people who are familiar with the rules have begun to form small factions.
The elimination rate in the second round is much higher than that in the first round, where 80 percent of the 100 students are screened out, and only 20 of them advance to the next round.
There are also changes from the previous first batch of screening.
Because the number of participants is smaller, the judges have more time to analyze the details of the contestants.
A comprehensive assessment is carried out from three aspects: cold dishes, vegetarian dishes, and meat dishes, so that the comprehensive level of a chef can be comprehensively assessed.
The King of Chefs competition is a top-level chef competition in the country, which is different from those catering variety shows that are common to ordinary people.
It is not considered whether the audience likes to watch it or not, but the collision of strength between chefs.
In the end, what can stand out is absolutely genuine and not mixed with water.
Zhong Shi finally waited for Qiao Zhi to come down lonely, leaned over and said with a smile, "You have to be careful." Now everyone sees you as an adversary. ”
Qiao Zhi said modestly: "They all look down on me too much. ”
Zhong Shi said very seriously: "You don't know, right? The whole group is pushing the meat foam eggplant weight loss god meal, and they are all selling crazy." ”
Qiao Zhi was stunned, "I really don't know." ”
Qiao Zhi's Internet celebrity canteen is separated from other restaurants, and his employees are all self-recruited, and there is no contact with the employees of Huaixiang Group, so he can't get inside information.
Zhong Shi realized that Qiao Zhi was not pretending, so he told Qiao Zhi the whole story of how the weight loss divine meal became popular.
"Because the restaurants under the Huaixiang Group are selling too well, other restaurants have begun to follow suit. However, what makes other restaurants feel strange is that no matter how much they research, they can't make the unique taste of Huaixiang Group. Zhong Shi arched Qiao Zhi, "So now the internal is saying that you are basically the first in the coffin." ”
Qiao Zhi always felt that Tao Nanfang was deliberately making enemies for himself.
He originally thought that he would be able to pass the test by making a very simple dish for the first time and cooking a very simple dish by himself.
I can only say that I underestimated the eyes of the chefs of Huaixiang Group, and the careful ideas spent on that dish were accurately discovered by them and transformed into actual economic benefits.
Qiao Zhi's heart was itching, if he could have such a powerful team, he wouldn't have to be so tired.
The main dishes of the Internet celebrity canteen are still completed by him independently, although he can insist, in the long run, it is not a good thing.
He plans to promote this model, because relying on individuals alone, the performance of a single store will always reach a bottleneck.
"Qiao Zhi, congratulations. Chen Ming walked in front of Qiao Zhi with a big smile on his face.
"Thank you, Chef Chen. We haven't started yet, and no one knows what the outcome will be. Qiao Zhi didn't have a deep impression of Chen Ming, mainly because he was a little transparent in the back kitchen of Huaixiang Restaurant, and Bao Tong was responsible for taking him and Guo Yan.
Chen Ming usually doesn't talk to him too much, and even if there is something, he will convey it through Baotong.
In short, Qiao Zhi was like air in Chen Ming's eyes.
And Qiao Zhi naturally felt that Chen Ming had no sense of existence.
"The dish you had in the preliminary round set a lot of group records. In the next selection, as long as you play steadily, you will definitely stand out. Chen Ming said with a smile.
"Chef Chen, you should be sure of it. Qiao Zhi said casually.
People carry priceless treasures.
The two blew each other in business, and Chen Ming waved goodbye to Qiao Zhi.
After Gong Fachao's reminder last time, Chen Ming has re-established his mentality.
Qiao Zhi is an intern chef who went out of Huaixiang Restaurant, what if he loses to him?
Qiao Zhi no longer works in Huaixiang Restaurant, so as long as he works hard enough, he can still gain a firm foothold in Huaixiang Restaurant.
One more friend, one more road.
According to Qiao Zhi's current momentum, he is soaring day by day, and he has a good relationship with him now, and maybe he will have an unexpected relationship with him in the future.
The scenes where Qiao Zhi was talking to people one after another fell into the eyes of one person.
This person is the first round of the selection competition, and the second place in the score, named Hao Wang, is from a flagship restaurant in Yunhai.
This restaurant has been included in the three-star recommendation by Michelin, which is enough to prove the level of the chef of the restaurant.
If all the restaurants under the name of Huaixiang Group are added together, this flagship restaurant in Yunhai will definitely be in the top three.
Although Huaixiang Restaurant is the first restaurant of Huaixiang Group, both the on-site environment and the chef reserve are a big difference from Yunhai Jiutian Huaixiang Restaurant.
To be recommended by this restaurant to participate in the selection competition, it has to go through a lot of screening and review, so Hao Wang also went to the first place in the internal selection competition.
Unexpectedly, he was not successful and won the second place in the first round.
When his master learned of the results, he called and scolded him severely.
even released a word that if he couldn't catch up with the first place in the second round, he would retire directly.
Hao Wang is not only under great pressure now, but also hostile to Qiao Zhi.
The dishes cooked by Hao Wang in the first round were also included in the main recommendation, but the effect was much worse than the weight loss god meal.
Hao Wang also specially studied the process of this dish, and he still knew Qiao Zhi's strength.
This guy is definitely the kind of talented chef.
Compared with talent, Hao Wang is very confident and has never lost.
"Hello, my name is Hao Wang. ”
"Hello, I have admired the name for a long time, my name is Qiao Zhi. ”
"In this round, I will definitely not lose to you, and I will catch up with the poor score. ”
"Oh, okay, come on!"
Hao Wang looked at Qiao Zhi in surprise, and suddenly realized that the sentence he had just said "I have admired the name for a long time" seemed to be a polite remark.
This guy doesn't know who he is at all, and he incorporates himself into a class of people who take the initiative to talk to him.
"#¥%@&......" Hao Wang cursed a bunch of swear words in a low voice and angrily, and left angrily.
Qiao Zhi looked at his undulating back in surprise, "This guy's quality is too low, how can he scold people?"
Zhong Shi held his forehead and couldn't cry or laugh, "His name is Hao Wang, a contestant of Jiutian Huaixiang." In the first round, only 0.5 points less than you, and you are also your strongest opponent, your tone just now was too arrogant, and people felt humiliated by you, so they were so excited. ”
Qiao Zhi looked annoyed: "Is it? Alas, blame me for being too uneasy, I really don't understand the things on the scene." ”
Zhong Shi stared at Qiao Zhi for a while, "You guy is really good at acting." ”
Even if Qiao Zhi is wooden and unsophisticated, he will not fail to know his main opponent.
What's more, Hao Wang is quite famous, and a search on Baidu will immediately pop up a large list of honorary titles.
Such as the vice president of the Yunhai Catering Industry Association, the gold medal of the Yunhai Chef King Competition, etc., it can be seen from these fragmented languages that Hao Wang is not only very familiar with all walks of life, but also has strong practical experience.
Qiao Zhi's requirements for this round are very simple, don't make big mistakes, keep yourself in the top 20, and be able to enter the next round of competition smoothly.
He also didn't have full confidence in this round because he increased the variety of dishes.
Turnip greens have their own loves, there are originally many judges, their hobbies are different, you choose the dish is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, it is difficult to prescribe the right medicine.
Hao Wang sat in his position with a gloomy face, as the top seed player in this selection tournament, naturally there were many people who deliberately approached him very closely.
"Mr. Wang, why do you look so unhappy?" said a contestant who is also from Yunhai Jiutian Huaixiang Restaurant.
"Nothing. ”
What Qiao Zhi ignored, this evil breath can only be swallowed in the stomach.
"I think Qiao Zhi is too hard. ”
"I think you have ulterior motives. Are you trying to sow discord with me? Boy, you're still too tender. ”
Hao Wang glared at his colleague disdainfully and walked towards the rest area.
100 contestants shuffled the order and re-drew lots to determine the ranking.
Qiao Zhi's luck was good, he was drawn on the sixty-eighth, and he had to wait until the third day to compete.
Zhong Shi was drawn on the twelfth and is expected to participate in the competition later.
Qiao Zhi returned to the cafeteria after drawing lots, although it is not open today, there will be several important interviews.
Qiao Zhi has always wanted to find the right chef and share the pressure for himself.
Avoid having to postpone customers who have made an appointment in advance if you have something to do now.
Now there are a lot of complaints on the APP, although George doesn't care much, he is reluctant to stop the business and cause the loss.
Less profit is loss, at least more than 100,000 net profits are lost every day, Qiao Zhi was originally a door-picker, how can he not feel distressed.
But the mother-in-law's requirements still have to be completed, and participating in the selection competition is far more important than making money.
There are three people who participated in the interview today, all of whom are veteran chefs with nearly 20 years of cooking experience, and Qiao Zhi's salary is 500,000 yuan per year, which is very tempting.
"Still can't do it!"
Qiao Zhi sighed secretly, although the three chefs who came to interview today have advanced certificates and have rich experience, they are all from the wild road.
The basic skills are not solid enough.
You can see one or two from the knife work.
The basic skills of a chef mainly include knife skills, spoon skills, batter extraction, and slaughtering.
In detail, it is required that the knife work is fine, the pot is turned freely, the paste is moderately uniform, the oil temperature is correctly identified and mastered, the feeding is accurate and timely, the heat is flexibly and appropriate, the thickening is appropriate, the pot is out of the pot in time, and the plate is skillful.
The chef has a saying that "seven points of piers, three points of stoves".
Knife skills are particularly important, which directly affects the taste and beauty of the dish. Knife work is the basic skill, and it can also be said to be the face of a chef.
After thousands of years of history of Chinese civilization, the knife work of the chef has now summarized four categories of knife methods - straight knife method, oblique knife method, flat knife method, and mixed knife method.
Among them, the hybrid knife method is also known as the knife cutting method, that is, the chopping, cutting, scraping, and slashing that are not confined to the form...... The use of various kitchen knives such as spinning.
The most complicated method of cutting knives is the "rotary knife", which is divided into sky spin and earth spin.
For example, everyone is familiar with apple peeling, which belongs to the "Tianxuan" knife cutting method.
Peeling radish and the like belong to the "ground spinning" knife method.
After the results of the first day came out, Zhong Shi called Qiao Zhi.
Originally, in the first round, Zhong Shi was only 1 point behind Hao Wang, but now the gap has been stretched to 7 points.
Hao Wang's strength is far superior to the others, and two of the three dishes have reached 99 points.
Zhong Shi relayed the news to Qiao Zhi to remind him that in the second round, he must be cautious.
Of course, Zhong Shi also wanted to put a little psychological pressure on Qiao Zhi.
Who made him pretend like that all day?
