Qiao Zhi chose two young pigeons, cut them open from the back, smeared them with wine, and fried them in oil until golden brown.

Then put shochu, soy sauce, sugar, refined salt, water to flood the pigeon's body, and then put chestnuts to cover the pot and smoulder.

When the meat is cooked, take it out and let it cool.

Then the pigeon is turned back up, and the neck bone is removed, so that the pigeon's skin and flesh do not disperse, and the head and wings are retained.

Coat the pigeon meat in starch, spread with shrimp, inlaid with chopped almonds, and then put it in a pan to fry and set.

At this point, it's not over yet, the last step, especially crucial, is to bake in an iron pot.

Place the almond pigeon and shrimp paste on the iron plate. Pour in the brandy, stir-fry the sauce and pour over the pigeon, then quickly cover the pot.

A "almond chestnut pigeons", this is complete.

The judge, who always paid attention to Qiao Zhi, couldn't wait to walk to Qiao Zhi's side, "Are you done?"

Qiao Zhi smiled: "Yes, you can ask the judges to taste it at any time." ”

The judge smiled and said, "Then you're welcome." ”

He first tasted the soft yellow eel, and before he could start chewing, he felt a strange fragrance fill his mouth.

The moment the teeth come into contact with the eel meat, you can clearly feel the tenderness and freshness of the meat.

The soup poured on the yellow eel was so layered that with his rich experience, he couldn't tell which spices were used.

The judges had a peculiar feeling that it would be nice to have a bowl of rice.

The soft pocket yellow eel is a stir-fried dish, but Qiao Zhi made the feeling of a cold dish, and after eating the first bite, he felt particularly appetizing.

"Come and try his handiwork. ”

The judges felt that they were a little out of control, and if those colleagues didn't come to taste it now, I was afraid that the dish would be eaten quickly by themselves.

Qiao Zhi is also quite embarrassed, the production of the participating dishes, the selection of ingredients, is calculated according to the number of judges.

If the front judges eat a little more, it will make the later judges unable to eat.

However, Qiao Zhi was too worried.

The judges still have this degree of professionalism, and he called the other judges in time to appreciate it.

Among them was Jin Chengwei, a judge in the first round.

Jin Chengwei had a bad appetite for a few days after the first round. Because he can no longer find the dishes that make him top.

Qiao Zhi's Yangtze River Three Fresh has elevated the taste of freshness to the extreme.

Therefore, Jin Chengwei felt that eating any food in the past few days could not arouse his interest.

He knew that Qiao Zhi used umami to "destroy" his taste buds.

This destruction is not a physical aggression, but a conquest at the spiritual level.

Jin Chengwei had been paying attention to Qiao Zhi, he didn't expect someone to start tasting Qiao Zhi's dishes before himself.

He couldn't wait to take a bite of the soft-pocketed yellow eel.

The familiar taste welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help but squint my eyes slightly, feeling the beauty of hormones being secreted from the central nervous system.

It was as if the soul had been pierced.

Jin Chengwei already has an idea, and his future direction is not only to study spicy, but also to add to the excavation of freshness.

"Chef Jin, what do you think?" The judges next to him saw Jin Chengwei silent for a long time, thinking that he had found a fault and flaw.

"The soft yellow eel made me feel full of sincerity. Jin Chengwei's evaluation was very concise.

"That's right, it's sincerity. It is very comfortable to express sincerity simply with food, without fancy skills. The affinity of this dish is very strong, reaching the realm of entering the dish with the heart. ”

"I think your assessment is a little incomplete. This is the choice

Although the skill of the hand is not fancy, but the foundation is solid! The yellow eel is handled very cleanly, so you might as well take a closer look at the shape of the three dishes! Placed together, it is like an idyllic poem, water, land, and air, there is a kind of natural wild interest. ”

"It's quite appropriate to compare a bullfrog to a golden toad. You don't use chopsticks, I'll try it first. Jin Chengwei took the initiative to clip the bullfrog with chopsticks, and suddenly found something strange, because the bullfrog was fried crispy, a whole fell on the frog meatballs, he was stunned, and he felt a mistake.

Qiao Zhi hurriedly reminded: "This dish is eaten with fried crispy bullfrog mixed with meatballs and dipped in soup!"

Jin Chengwei was suspicious, and sent the frog meatballs into his mouth, and the crispy and Q-bomb texture immediately burst out with amazing vitality between his mouth.

Eyes glow, a new and wonderful taste.

After so many years in the catering industry, I have never tasted such a unique taste.

Crispy, fragrant, bouncing, jumping, as if a wonderful sense of picture appears in my mind.

One by one, the golden toad regarded its mouth as fertile land, constantly jumping down, through the esophagus, into the stomach, and still jumping, the feeling of a good aftertaste, full of lively vitality.

Jin Chengwei almost couldn't wait to taste the chestnut pigeon, the pigeon meat was delicate, extremely delicious, and there was some sweetness in the deliciousness.

With a slight sip, the pigeon meat melts in the mouth, and a hint of chestnut fragrance makes the taste smooth.

"There are no chestnuts among the ingredients you chose, right?" Jin Chengwei looked at Qiao Zhi suspiciously.

Qiao Zhi smiled, "Please taste it carefully." ”

Jin Chengwei's eyes widened, and he said in astonishment: "It's made of flour seasoning!"

The other judges were amazed that it was an unprecedented attempt to make chestnut flavor out of flour.

This requires a high level of flavoring.

Jin Chengwei thought for a while, picked out a "vegetable leaf" from the soft pocket yellow eel with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and showed admiration, "This is also seasoned with flour?"

Qiao Zhi nodded slightly, "That's right!"

The flour is made into leaves, boiled in water and seasoned with vegetable juice.

It is not difficult to have the taste of vegetables, the key is to make the crisp and refreshing feeling of vegetables with flour, and you need to master the proportion and timing when kneading the dough and passing the water.

In the process of making the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Shi He adopted the substitution method, replacing seafood with poultry.

When making Sufo jumping over the wall, soy products are used instead of vegetarian abalone and other ingredients.

Those are the more common alternatives that can be made by experienced chefs, so it's no surprise.

But Qiao Zhi's use of flour to make the taste of green cabbage leaves requires greater difficulty.

Carefully analyze the shape, Qiao Zhi did not carve dragons and phoenixes, golden cicadas playing with pearls and chestnut pigeons, which has a vivid wild interest, and more importantly, it can enhance people's appetite.

The judges gathered together and began to collectively discuss the results, and fifteen minutes later, the results were announced.

The first place was Deng Jiaxian, with a score of 98.5.

The second place was Qiao Zhi, with 98 points.

The third place was Shi He, with 97.5 points.

......

"How can this be?" Shi He was dumbfounded, he had no way to accept this result.

He was not convinced!

"Why did you give me this score?" Shi He rushed directly to the judges to ask for an explanation.

Qiao Zhi is just an unknown person, and he has never seen this person's information in the intelligence.

He can lose to the strong, but he must not lose to the weak inexplicably.

"This is the result of the collective deliberation of the judges. Someone stopped Shi He, "Your current situation is very dangerous, you must respect the judges, otherwise your results will be cancelled directly, and even your future will be affected." ”

Shi He's anger was extinguished by this sentence, "Can I try Qiao Zhi's dishes." ”

"Uh, no!" the judge said helplessly.

"Why? Is it an unspoken rule?" Shi He was furious again.

"Qiao Zhi's dish has been eaten. The judge whispered, "The King Chef Competition is a grand event in the catering industry, and all the judges and experts are industry leaders, please pay attention to your words." ”

The judges originally felt that it was a pity that Shi He missed the opportunity to enter the finals, but now it seems that such a mind will be difficult to take on important responsibilities in the future.

"What?

Shi He was stunned and stood in place.

Disc, the highest respect for the chef.

Although Deng Daxian received the highest score in this batch, there was still a lot left over from his three dishes.

Jin Chengwei looked at Qiao Zhi leaving the arena with complicated eyes, why did he leave a flaw.

In the first round, the heat of the red soup seedlings was a little wrong, so I didn't get a high score.

And this round, the soup of Jin Toad playing with beads is too viscous, and after being cold, the taste can only reach nine points.

This caused a question from a certain judge.

If Joe Smart gets those two details right, he is fully qualified to be the focus of both rounds.

Jin Chengwei had an idea in his heart, did he deliberately expose his flaws?

If that's the case, then Qiao Zhi is too terrible.

Not only do you need to be absolutely confident in your cooking skills, but you also need to have a very good grasp of the psychology of the judges.

Only those who are strong enough dare to walk the tightrope, otherwise, those who play with fire are prone to self-immolation.

Qiao Zhi walked out of the arena and sighed secretly, although he retained his strength, he would still be noticed by others.

He squeezed Shi He out of the finals, and the upset made him the biggest dark horse this time.

However, there is no way to do it.

No matter how low-key you are, if you enter the finals, you will be treated as a dark horse.

Fortunately, he only broke Shi He's upset, and Deng Da won the first place in the group first, and he was still a hot candidate.

Therefore, even if someone pays attention to themselves, there is Deng Da in front of them.

At this point, Gou's plan is 90 percent complete.

Qiao Zhi is still quite satisfied with his execution!

", I knew that Qiao Zhi really entered the final stage from the double encirclement of Shi He and Deng Daxian. Zhong Shi got this result and jumped back and forth in the exhibition area, screaming.

More excited than he himself reached the final.

Luo Yi and Shen Bowei glanced at each other, and each other's eyes showed joy.

There are still two rounds of the group stage, two of whom have already reached the final, and they have completed the task.

This result is not surprising, because the internal competition was originally Qiao Zhi first, Zhong Shi second, and they were among the top ten in the country, which is also reasonable.

"Hao Wang, it's up to you next. If you can successfully enter the finals, then our Huaixiang Group will try three people and hit the king of chefs, and we will be more sure. Although Shen Bowei didn't want to put too much pressure on Hao Wang, he still found him and told him about the current situation.

Hao Wang gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, I don't have any baggage now, I just fight!"

Shen Bowei saw Hao Wang's ruthless face, and his heart sank.

Hao Wang's mentality exploded, and something was not good.
