Chapter 893: Three Dishes and One Soup!

Entering the final game, everyone can get the bonus, without Cao Zhen and Sun Shichao, the strength of the others is very different, so everyone has the opportunity to hit the third and fourth, or even the second.

The third place is 200,000 yuan, the second place is 500,000 yuan, the prize money is full of temptation, and everyone is full of motivation and enthusiasm.

Charlene was one of the few women to participate in the Young Chef Tasting Competition, and she was a little surprised that she was able to advance to the finals, and according to her own assessment, her strength was in the middle of the 32 people.

Being able to reach the finals, she felt favored by the goddess of fate.

Charlene is Chinese New Year's Eve a year old today, has been working as a chef for more than ten years, and is good at Bashu cuisine.

"As the only woman to make it to the finals, do you have anything you want to share with you?" the hostess handed the microphone to Charlene's mouth.

Charlene was a little shy, her face was red, she lowered her head and paused for a few seconds, and said softly: "In the eyes of many people, good chefs are generally men, I think this is prejudice, in fact, there are many women in this world who are also good at cooking, but for various reasons they can't show it through some channels." I am able to stand here and represent the majority of female chefs, so I will do my best not to disgrace female chefs. ”

Hearing Xia Lin say this, Luan Pan's eyes lit up, and she said in a deep voice: "What this female chef said is too reasonable. Why are women discriminated against and prejudiced?"

Ning Hui smiled and explained: "The proportion of female chefs in the entire industry is only 3.6%, which is far lower than that of men. Moreover, the famous chefs are all men. The kitchen is indeed physically demanding, and girls really can't bear it. Cooking is a high-stress business. The chef has a lot of work, and when he suddenly encounters a large banquet or an important person, he has to work overtime. Therefore, even if a girl is engaged in the profession of a chef, she will choose a more relaxed direction, such as desserts, bread, milk tea, coffee and other light meals.

In addition, the chef's industry is also very bad, and when it is particularly hot in summer, you even need to go shirtless, and you have to deal with oil smoke all year round, which is not good for your skin. If you cook cold dishes, you need to stay in the cold storage often, which is really difficult for women who are already weak and have their own menstrual weaknesses. ”

Luan Pan was surprised: "I didn't expect you to study so deeply?"

Ning Hui smiled: "Don't think of me as such a superficial person, okay? ”

Tang Shuangshuang laughed for a while and retorted to Ning Hui: "There is no easy job in any industry, I think the proportion of women in the chef industry is small, mainly because of the different positioning of men and women. Men work as cooks for work, while women cook at home for the sake of family. ”

After being interviewed, Charlene calmed down and said she had to perform at the highest level.

The hostess came to Qiao Zhi with the microphone, "As the most vocal contestant this time, what do you think?"

Qiao Zhi didn't actually have any ideas, but he couldn't tell the truth.

"Thank you for your encouragement. I always considered myself a mediocre person, and there were many chefs here who were my role models and people I chased after me. I was honored and apprehensive to be able to reach the quarterfinals of the food tasting competition, but I was also very content. In the next competitions, I will make every dish, and I don't care at all about the results. After all

Among the many young chefs, I have always been at the end of the crane. For me, I'm traveling light, and if I can go further, that's earning. ”

The live broadcast room instantly floated a barrage snowflake.

"I'm not deaf, am I? What did Gang Leader Qiao say just now, saying that his strength is mediocre, he can't help but be too modest, right?"

"Cao Zhen was eliminated in the first stage, Sun Shichao was eliminated in the second stage, and two seeded players were killed in a row, but he said that he was the tail of the crane! This is not modesty, this is pretending to be forced, I am going to call the police!"

"Qiao's emotional intelligence has become lower, his words seem to be self-humble, but he is actually attracting anger. ”

"I love the style of the gang leader Joe so much! The high-end life is to stand on the roof of the building, and say to the people downstairs seriously - I am not as good as you, that feeling is refreshing. ”

......

The hostess's reaction was actually fast enough, but she didn't know how to answer Qiao Zhi's words, she smiled and said softly: "What you said is very philosophical in life." ”

Then, she walked up to Kong Fan and handed the microphone to his mouth, "As the top three in the last tasting conference, your opponent is very strong, what is your mood now, nervous or excited?"

"Calm!" Kong Fan said relaxedly, "I want to say sorry to everyone first, because yesterday's impulsive behavior had a bad impact. I'm a chef, and if I want to compete with others, I should use my own cooking skills, not force.

Qiao Zhi is a respectable and formidable opponent, and it is an honor to be able to compete with him. I will enjoy the game, with the most delicious food, to show him my respect for him. ”

Kong Fan's words surprised many people, isn't Kong Fan a brute bull, when did he become so mature?

The above passage was sent to him by the brokerage company last night, asking him to memorize it in the final stage, Kong Fan was very reluctant at first, but now after saying it in front of so many audiences, he feels a sense of relief.

Hemp, saying this kind of crepe is not in line with his style at all.

However, after saying it, I feel that my temperament has improved, my realm has been sublimated, and the taste is still quite good.

After the interview, the hostess began to announce the title of the decisive match.

"This tasting conference is not only to give young chefs an opportunity to show their talents, but also to choose the opportunity to participate in the year-end state banquet from many chefs, and next year will also be qualified to represent Huaxia in the international culinary exchange meeting.

Considering the above reasons, the final topic given by the judges is, according to the standard of the state banquet, cook 'three dishes and one soup'!"

In many cities, there are many local snacks, all of which are branded as being selected for the state banquet. The state banquet is like a reunion dinner at home during the Chinese New Year, it is also a large gathering, but the guests invited to the dinner are heads of state or elites from all walks of life, which sounds very high-level.

Therefore, many people mistakenly believe that the pomp and circumstance of the state banquet must be very large, with a variety of dishes.

In the past, the menu standard of the state banquet in China was "four dishes and one soup", and by the beginning of this century, the standard of the state banquet had begun to try "three dishes and one soup" or "two dishes and one soup".

Many people think that the state banquet should be high, but in fact, in order to eliminate waste, the dishes of the state banquet are not so complicated

"Three dishes and one soup", or "two dishes and one soup". This approach not only saves money and materials, but also saves time and manpower.

However, the state banquet is also particular, not only the supply of raw materials is designated by suppliers, but also the selection of ingredients. For example, ordinary greens have to go to the vegetable gang to keep the cabbage heart. When using meat, it is necessary to choose the best age animal and the best parts of the animal. When it comes to ingredients such as abalone and fresh shellfish, there are requirements for the size of the ingredients.

The hostess took the microphone and smiled and introduced, "Next, please ask the staff to show you the tableware of this tiebreaker, today we invited the 'Fugui Peony State Banquet Porcelain' from the State Guesthouse, and these dinners will sometimes be given as gifts to other foreign guests." I believe that with these special tableware, the contestants can better show their strength. ”

Qiao Zhi's eyes fell on the "Rich Peony State Banquet Porcelain", and his mood became relaxed.

The so-called good horse with a good saddle, with these customized porcelain, it is enough to make the visual effect of food to the next level.

During the judges' seat, Xi Tianlei saw Kong Bohou's solemn face, and joked with a smile: "You seem to be more nervous than Kong Fan!"

Kong Bohou said helplessly: "Everyone knows that although Qiao Zhi learns from the strengths of many families, he is best at Huainan cuisine, and the standard of state banquet cuisine is based on Huainan cuisine. This match was not good for Kong Fan. ”

Xi Tianlei smiled faintly: "I understand your concerns, but for Kong Fan, it is a rare experience to have such an opportunity to learn from the best young chefs of Huainan cuisine." ”

Kong Bohou remembered that Xi Tianlei and Suo Zhi's disciples had been eliminated, and his heart instantly balanced a lot, "Yes, it is better to have a clear goal, than to run around like a headless fly." Kong Fan has too much room for improvement, he is proficient in Confucian cuisine, and his understanding of other cuisines is not deep enough, I hope that after this competition, it will be stimulated for Kong Fan, so that he knows that it is not okay to inherit the Chinese food culture, and he has to learn the advantages of other factions. ”

Xi Tianlei saw that Kong Bohou was thinking so thoroughly, and bowed slightly, "Let's focus on the competition, let's see if the eight young chefs can surprise us?"

Kong Bohou smiled: "This tasting conference has not only received wide attention from the outside world, the event is held very formally, but also many new stars have emerged, such as the female chef Charlene, who is very talented in seasoning, trained and guided well, and has the potential to become a top national chef in the future." ”

Xi Tianlei smiled and said: "It seems that you are planning to take her as an apprentice, I suggest that you hurry up, otherwise Lao Suo will not let go of such a good seedling." ”

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are factions.

The eight people who enter the final stage, in addition to receiving bonuses, also have the benefit, if there is no faction, they will be divided by the judges, accepted as subordinates or introduced into the camp.

Although a lot of good seedlings have emerged this time, Xi Tianlei is not interested in fighting with them for anything.

Qiao Zhi studied under Zheng Ze, but everyone in the association knows that Xi Tianlei has a good relationship with Qiao Zhi, and Xi Tianlei is Qiao Zhi's introducer and guide in the association.

If it weren't for his own face, Qiao Zhi would definitely not participate in this tasting conference.

If you don't know the goods, you're afraid of shopping around!

The young chef in the final, compared to Qiao Zhi, looks ...... It's too peaceful.
