Although it was a private fight between the two, in the eyes of practitioners, it was a collision between young rookies and old-school connoisseurs, and no matter who won or lost, it was a good thing for the culinary industry in China.

Through this kind of competition in a competitive atmosphere, the progress of the industry can be stimulated.

Although chef conferences are held all over the country every year, most of them are formal, and even the ranking of chefs is arranged by unspoken rules.

The harmonious Chinese food circle seems to be very harmonious on the surface, but it is not a good thing for the long-term development of the industry.

He Xia pulled up a document from the computer, and the title of the document was "Eight Cuisine Chef King Competition".

The project had been completed three years ago, and for various reasons it had not been successfully promoted, but He Xia felt that he had to give it a try.

With the convenient transportation and the catering industry, the cuisine of the eight major cuisines has been regardless of region, and it is more the persistence of chefs.

Now many people are promoting the integration of cuisines, merging two or three cuisines to innovate catering brands that are more in line with market demand, but the view of factions is still there.

It is a good thing that a hundred flowers are blooming in the domestic market, but for foreign markets, this siloed infighting model is not a good thing.

Therefore, the "Eight Cuisine Chef King Competition" is to use this event to bring together potential chefs, let them communicate with each other, form a unified Chinese food system, and then integrate it into the state banquet cuisine.

He Xia has done a detailed study of Qiao Zhi's information, and if you really want to find a flag bearer for the younger generation, Qiao Zhi is the best choice.

The competition between Sun Jin and Qiao Zhi was just right for He Xia to make a more detailed investigation of Qiao Zhi.

Therefore, He Xia did not object to Sun Jin's "difficulty" to Qiao Zhi in his bones.

As for winning or losing, He Xia didn't take it too seriously.

Even if Sun Jin loses, it won't prove anything.

Qiao Zhi is the winner, and it would be good to use the good talent introduction policy to absorb him to the state guesthouse.

Although Qiao Zhi's worth is very high, he may not be able to shake it with money, but the resources of the State Guesthouse are not only money, for chefs, this is one of the highest palaces, and to be recognized here, it is the highest honor of Chinese chefs.

As for Sun Ying's request, He Xia scoffed at it.

He could understand Sun Ying's mood and didn't want his father to lose the game, but Sun Ying's pattern was too low and too selfish.

......

Tang Qi walked to the back kitchen and answered Mei Ling's call, Mei Ling was concerned about Qiao Zhi's performance in the field, although he was not in Yanjing, he had already called Tang Qi three or four times today to ask about the situation at the scene.

Tang Qi didn't feel bored, at this moment Qiao Zhi was ahead, and he could just vent his inner excitement.

"The second course, although Qiao Zhi lost by 0.1 point. Tang Qi said softly, "But in terms of the overall score, it is still 0.1 point ahead." ”

The difference between the masters is in the smallest of the second.

Mei Ling held her cheeks and said in silence for a long time: "Sun Jin is more powerful than he imagined, Qiao Zhi is unprecedentedly serious this time, and he lost a dish, which can prove that Sun Jin's strength is very strong." ”

Tang Qi couldn't cry or laugh, "Although Sun Jin is not famous in the culinary world, he has been fighting on the front line for a long time, he is only stronger than Xi Tianlei and other great masters, and as for the study of state banquet cuisine, it can be said that he is the first person in the country today." It's just that because of the requirements of the State Guesthouse, Sun Jin rarely markets himself outside, and rarely brings disciples, unlike Xi Tianlei's disciples all over the world. From the standpoint of the State Guesthouse, it is unbelievable that Sun Jin is currently lagging behind Qiao Zhi. Qiao Zhi had already surprised them. ”

Mei Ling smiled: "When you have the latest news, please tell me in time." Although I have confidence in Qiao Zhi, I am still a little worried, afraid that the boat will capsize in the gutter. ”

Sewer...... If Sun Jin knew that someone compared him to a gutter, his nose would definitely be crooked.

Tang Qi bowed, "You're worried about Qiao Zhi, that's human nature, okay, the third course begins!"

"Well, you go check it out. ”

......

Qiao Zhi and Sun Jin were both preparing the third course, their expressions were solemn, holding kitchen knives, flipping and moving, and there were bursts of exclamations among the onlookers.

"The knife skills of these two people have reached the realm of magic workmanship, I originally thought that those food movies were all nonsense, but when I arrived at the scene, I felt that the cooking skills had reached a certain level, and it looked like acrobatics, which was pleasing to the eye. ”

"If the two of them go to the talent show, they will definitely be able to advance with this knife work. ”

Sun Jin is very attentive to the third course, if the third course does not achieve a tie or overtake the score, then the subsequent games will be very passive.

The fourth and fifth courses are basically a vegetarian dish and a dim sum. These two dishes are important among the five dishes, but they are slightly less valuable than the first three, so the judges will have a preconceived idea and score the next two dishes under the influence of the first three.

Sun Jin can roughly analyze the direction of Qiao Zhi's third course.

The menu of the first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China is limited, including crab and lion's head, family portrait, Dongpo pork, boiled dried shredded chicken in chicken soup, braised chicken in a canned mushroom can, stir-fried green shrimp, and four treasures of abalone sauce. Now Qiao Zhi doesn't have many dishes to choose from.

Sun Jin analyzed Qiao Zhi's third dish, which may be Dongpo meat or abalone with thick sauce and four treasures.

His eyes fell on Qiao Zhi's stove, and he saw that he was processing abalone, and he had a rough idea in his heart.

Sun Jin chose the squirrel osmanthus fish.

As a famous dish for the state banquet, squirrel osmanthus fish is Sun Jin's specialty, and the crab roe lion's head is a housekeeping skill.

Legend has it that when Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, once he walked to the Songhelou Restaurant, saw the fish swimming in the lake, he wanted to bring it to eat, at that time the fish was used as a sacrifice to the gods, he did not dare to eat it, but the holy order was difficult to violate, the errand had to discuss with the cook, and finally, decided to take the fish head as a rat, in order to avoid the sin of "divine fish".

When a plate of squirrel fish is served, only the squeak of the fish body is heard, which is very similar to the squirrel cry. The one-foot enough cinnamon fish is raised in the plate with its head and tail, the fish body is boneless, and the flower knife is cut, after frying, the tomato juice is poured on it, it is sweet and sour and palatable, the outside is crispy and the inside is tender, a piece of the entrance, full of fragrant.

After Qianlong ate it, he screamed repeatedly.

This dish is suitable for all ages, and it is also a compliment for foreign guests.

Sun Jin's handling of this dish can be called textbook level.

In particular, the part that deals with the shape is like being possessed by a god.

He held down the body of the fish and cut off the head.

Then hold down the body of the fish, use a knife to slice the fish against the bone, turn it over and slice another piece of fish, and then slice off the thorny meat on the belly of the fish.

The two pieces of fish meat are cut straight and then obliquely on the fish with the skin facing down, until the skin becomes a diamond-shaped knife pattern.

When Sun Jin dealt with the part of the fish body, the chefs who were present couldn't help but applaud.

Wang Shimao smiled at the corner of his mouth, he didn't need to worry too much about the master at all, with the master's level, there would definitely be no problem in handling the state banquet dishes, Qiao Zhi couldn't lead for long, and when the third dish was over, he would be overtaken.

Xi Tianlei and Kong Bohou said: "Sun Jin is serious and has shown 100% strength. ”

Kong Bohou sighed and said: "If you can't get real kung fu, I'm afraid the game will be over." The two dishes under him were dim sum and vegetarian dishes, which had little impact on the outcome of the game. So Sun Jin really exerted his strength at the moment. ”

Qiao Zhi is as Sun Jin analyzed, he is preparing the four treasures of abalone sauce.

The so-called four treasures are deep-sea prawns, abalone, fish maw, and hoof tendons, which is a Nanyue-style dish.

When it comes to cooking, it takes a lot of time and patience.

The third dish was finally served in front of the judges and the two hosts in Wanliutang.

Sun Jin picked up his chopsticks and ate a bite of abalone, and then took another sip of soup.

Qiao Zhi also took the fish meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

The oval-shaped flower plate and the cinnamon fish poured with sauce look extremely attractive.

The fish should have been thickened and poured, but there was no extra sauce at the bottom of the plate, and the whole fish was very dry except for the ingredients.

The separation of the fish meat from the fish body is very refreshing, which proves that the heat is just right, Qiao Zhi observed that only the fish meat has no fish bones, which shows that Sun Jin pays attention to details.

A mouthful of stuffed into the mouth, the tip of the tongue explodes is tender and sweet, the fish meat is very tender, the fresh and sweet taste of the fish is accompanied by a little sour, the taste is distinct, and the crispy fish skin increases the rustling taste, adding a bit of special beauty.

Qiao Zhi finally realized why someone can achieve success if they do one thing to the extreme.

The dish of squirrel osmanthus fish was made to the extreme by Sun Jin, and after people tasted it, their first reaction was, delicious!

In addition to the deliciousness, there is also a kind of artistic conception enjoyment.

It is as if countless live fish,[ biquge.xyz] are burrowing everywhere in the mouth.

"Sun Guochu's squirrel osmanthus fish is indeed the ultimate. Qiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

Sun Jin was stunned, with a complicated look in his eyes, Qiao Zhi praised his works in front of everyone, which was enough to show that he was open-minded.

Sun Jin began to taste the "Four Treasures of Abalone Sauce......

After entering the entrance, his expression changed slightly!

......

Inside Manliu Hall.

Zayed didn't care to speak, so he picked up the second chopstick, the third, and all at once, and all at once, the beauty of the food made it difficult for him to control.

As for Sekiak, he also began to lose control of his wrist at this moment, and as soon as the dish came up, he smelled an extreme umami fragrance, which was even more tempting than the food just now.

When the squirrel fish enters the mouth, the delicacy is naturally engraved into the depths of the mind.

Serchiak exhaled, put down his chopsticks in satisfaction, looked at the clean plate in front of him, and regretted that he had eaten so quickly that he didn't have time to remember the taste.

Qiao Zhi's dish hadn't started to eat yet, but they all thought that no matter how good the next dish was, it might not be able to surpass the squirrel Guiyu.

Sun Ying saw the reaction of the judges in Wanliutang, she hurriedly went to the back kitchen to confirm, and knew that the squirrel osmanthus fish was made by her father, so she was relieved.

Although he ate from He Xia's side, where was his father's cooking skills.

Temporarily behind, she doesn't need to be so weak-hearted.

Even if you don't go through the back door and don't play with Xuanxuan, you can still defeat Qiao Zhi openly.
