Chapter 523: Qiao's Gang Leader's Knife, It's So Pompous!
All the lights are off except for the center of the stage.
The hostess in a purple evening dress walked to the center of the stage.
Follow the round light of the lamp, all the way.
She had a sweet smile on her face.
The hostess's name is Gao Xiaobai, and she is a professional host invited from Qiongjin TV.
When I met with Qiao Zhi backstage in private, I took the initiative to set up heat.
said that he and Tao Ruxue entered the TV station at the same time, and the relationship between the two was quite good.
Qiao Zhi smiled.
The daughter-in-law's personality is not yet understood.
Always alone in the TV station, how can there be any friends who get along well.
If you see through it or not, your friends on the surface continue to do it.
Gao Xiaobai walked to the front of the stage and introduced the meaning of the World Culinary League to the audience according to the string of words.
"The World Culinary League is the highest-level competition organized by the International Culinary Association. Founded in 1902 by Mr. Michel, it has a history of more than 100 years. Among them, the Tiger List is the cradle of training young chefs, and the contestants must be under the age of 30 and have a certain international reputation.
The two contestants present today, one ranked fourth on the tiger list, and the other is a young culinary master of my country, who just won the first place at the World Culinary Exchange Conference.
Everyone is definitely looking forward to the duel between the two.
Before that, Mr. Reagan, Vice President of the International Culinary Association, was invited to give an opening speech. ”
Reagan was a white-haired foreign old man in his sixties.
Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he was also a three-Michelin-starred chef when he was young.
His speech was brief, expressing his expectations for the game and praise for Huaxia.
After Reagan's remarks, the moderator began to introduce the five international gourmets on the jury, from France, the Netherlands, Australia, the island nation, and Canada.
"The competition is a long time, and in order to allow the two chefs to create a masterpiece, the competition lasts about two and a half hours. Please don't worry about getting bored. In addition to watching the exciting duel between the two chefs, we have also prepared other activities. ”
"Next, please invite our two protagonists of this contest to appear!"
Hansen and Qiao Zhi walked out one after another, both wearing white chef suits and chef hats on their heads.
In the face of such an audience, Hansen turned out to be a little nervous.
Because this is Huaxia, the audience supports Qiao Zhi.
Thankfully, the competition will be held in a soundproof kitchen.
Otherwise, listening to the sound of the scene, it will inevitably be affected.
"Then I'm going to ask you two to go into their respective areas and give you ten minutes to check the kitchen supplies, and if there are no problems, then the game will begin. ”
Qiao Zhi walked into the soundproof room, and through the glass in front of him, he could see the audience in front of him.
There is no sound in the ears, it is like entering a silent world.
Take a deep breath and begin to check the knives as well as the cooktop.
The knife was a gem suit that he got from Zheng Ze, and he pulled out a handful, and there was an exclamation from the audience outside.
"Qiao's gang leader's knife, it's so pompous!"
"Yes, there are so many gems, it's blinding. ”
"All the bells and whistles, why do you feel a little weak-hearted?"
"You know a bird. This is called preemptive strike. Saw it or not, Hansen was stunned. ”
Although the glass house is soundproofed, Qiao Zhi and Hansen can see what each other is doing!
The moment Qiao Zhi tried the knife, Hansen was also stunned.
It's been so many times, and it's the first time I've seen such a pompous knife.
Qiao Zhi didn't mean to show off his wealth.
only
I think it's too wasteful to put such a set of knives at home.
In this kind of public occasion, the appearance can at least make the best use of things.
As for his teacher Zheng Ze, he should feel relieved to see Qiao Zhi using this set of knives to compete.
I tried the fire, and there was no big problem.
Check the ingredients again.
Gesture of completion of inspection almost simultaneously with Hansen.
The hostess was instructed by the judges and announced, "Now I announce the title of this competition, according to the combination of ingredients drawn by the judges, free to cook three dishes, each dish prepares six servings, one by the chef to taste each other, and the remaining five by the judges to taste and score! Every fifty minutes, there will be a round of scoring, and the results of the competition will be based on the total score of the three rounds." ”
For the sake of fairness, there are 20 kinds of ingredient combinations, and the main judges draw lots on the spot, so as to eliminate the risk of leakage.
More than two dozen combinations appeared on the screen, and the chief judge, Mark, walked up to the lottery box, reached out and touched it for a while, and took out a yellow ball marked "No. 16" on it.
"It turned out to be AquaSelect's Salmon and GreenMountain's top Australian calf Fili. ”
To be a good chef, you have to know the top ingredients.
Both of these ingredients are the best of the best.
The brand AquaSelect is related to China, and a person from M country found that the flowing water in the foothills of the Himalayas is much purer than many places in the world where salmon are raised, and the salmon farmed here can grow healthier, and the meat will be more fatty, soft and glutinous.
Pure water combined with careful farming has led to the creation of AquaSelect salmon that is sought after by chefs all over the world.
GreenMountain's beef comes from 6-month-old high-quality beef, which is milk-fed, and the meat has a very beautiful pink color and a juicy taste.
Hansen quickly thought of his three dishes.
He started processing morels.
Morel mushrooms have been famous all over the world since ancient times, and almost all of the common morels on the market are semi-artificially grown.
The real wild morel mushroom is precious, rare and expensive, and it is one of the four most famous wild mushrooms in the world along with truffle, matsutake mushroom and porcini mushroom, and it is the best wild mushroom among the world's four major mushroom kings.
Although the ingredients prepared for the competition are hand-grown, they are also carefully cultivated.
Hansen carefully sliced the filet into five equal pieces with a knife.
Put it in a frying pan and fry the edges, control the temperature to ensure the original flavor of the meat, and then sprinkle it with a carefully blended sauce and place it on a white plate.
Then, water the morels, sprinkle with sesame seeds and place them next to the filet.
When Hansen made this dish, the time he spent the most was how to season it.
It took 40 minutes to finally make Australian filet with morels.
Wait for the waiter to deliver the five plates of dishes to the judges' seats, and cover them with a silver cover to maintain the temperature of the dishes.
The other plate was placed on a table in the center of the stage, and when Qiao Zhi's dish was finished, the two chefs tasted each other.
Qiao Zhi and Hansen chose a different process of dishes.
His first course was salmon.
He first deep-fried the tofu, then hollowed out and fried it until golden brown, then stuffed the salmon and sprouts into the hollowed-out tofu and steamed it in a steamer.
Judging from the high-end of the ingredients, Hansen clearly has an advantage.
Because morels have the magical power of turning stones into gold, no matter what you cook, as long as you add a little morel, you can immediately add a wonderful flavor.
Mei Ling is not a professional gourmet, so she pinched it for Qiao Zhi
Sweat.
Hansen is too good at choosing materials.
In a top-level competition like this, you don't have to think about turning decay into magic, and using the best ingredients to match the most delicious taste is the king.
Qiao Zhi is undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
"Things don't seem to be good. Hansen used morels with filet, it was perfect. I remember an international competition where the championship dish was made with this pairing. Although there is a suspicion of opportunism, it can also be seen that Hansen has a lot of experience in the competition. ”
"As for Joe's combination of tofu and salmon, ordinary people think it is a delicacy, but opposite is the world's top foodie judges, and they will definitely find a hundred ways to find their way. ”
"The most embarrassing thing is that the judges will think that tofu with salmon is really insulting to them and lowers the standard of the league. ”
"Alas, Qiao Zhi still lacks experience in the competition! This kind of competition, you can't think of winning by surprise, it's better to play steadily. ”
Sister Fen sat in the banquet, surrounded by Mu Xiao, who was wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a hat.
Sister Fen blended into the atmosphere of the scene and said worriedly: "Qiao Zhi seems to be very unfavorable." ”
Mu Xiao said with a smile: "He is good at creating unfavorable situations, and he will definitely fight back in the next step." ”
Sister Fen looked at Qiao Zhi strangely, "It's hard to understand." ”
Mu Xiao sighed and said, "I have watched Qiao Zhi participate in various competitions many times. Although there are also pictures of killing opponents in seconds, most of the time, he will deliberately hide it and then give everyone a sense of shock. If I'm not mistaken, his dish is anything but ordinary. ”
Sister Fen touched Mu Xiao's forehead with her palm, "How do you feel that you are stunned." I didn't understand what was being said. ”
Mu Xiao shrugged helplessly, "I'm too lazy to explain to you, let's continue to look down." ”
Mu Xiao was already paralyzed by the law of true fragrance.
Although he knew that the plot would be reversed, he still pinched a cold sweat for Qiao Zhi in his heart.
Qiao Zhi didn't expect that Hansen directly chose the "Champion Innovative Dish" to make Australian filet.
I had to have a new understanding of this Hansen.
Although he is a bad ass image, he still has strength.
can enter the fourth place on the tiger list, and it is really not an idle person.
Next, the two contestants can evaluate each other's first course. It's a bit of a surprise because I didn't see the needle point vs. wheat mang, but maybe it would be more interesting. ”
Qiao Zhi carefully cut the beef, took out a piece with a fork and put it in his mouth.
The heat is in place, and the juice of the beef explodes in the mouth.
The taste buds produce a continuous force, which continuously transmits to the brain center, secreting a pleasant stimulus.
Then try the side dish "morels" on the plate.
The soft texture melts in your mouth.
A unique mushroom aroma with a lot of sweet notes.
A suction gushed out of his chest, and he took the initiative to welcome this charming fragrance.
The high-end ingredients stimulate the taste buds, and they are really direct and unrestrained.
If Filip lets himself run wild on the Australian grasslands.
The morels make themselves feel like they're in the depths of the forest.
The opponent is very strong and will put him into a better form.
Waiting for Qiao Zhi to taste his masterpiece first, Hansen began to taste the other party's work.
It looks good, and the golden tofu is very appetizing.
Cut it with a knife and you can see the layers inside.
It's like a small sandwich.
Put it in your mouth, the crispy texture is the first to bear the brunt.
This is followed by a crunchy sprout texture.
There is a strange aroma of fish fat in the mouth, which rushes straight to the brain.
A burst of intoxication, as if in a dream.
What a god it tastes like!
