Volume 2: Chef King Contest Chapter 101 God Assist from Your Opponent!
In addition to the tea eggs, there is also a dish that attracts Tian Zheng's attention.
In the delicate and small dishes, the red and white shrimp tails are mixed in the middle of the snow-white pear pieces, and the top is sprinkled with fragmented peppercorn noodles.
Not long after it came out of the pot, the faint heat was thick, and the sweet and fresh aroma seemed to spread out without a substance.
Gently extend the chopsticks, pick up the shrimp tails, and take the mouth.
The shrimp tail is smooth and moisturizes the tongue, with the sweet pear fragrance, and the teeth are relished.
After eating another piece of pear, the crunchy texture and the coldness of the seafood are combined into a unique sweet taste.
Everyone else was tasting Qiao Zhi's dishes, and they were all unfamiliar with them, because they were not the usual dishes in Huainan cuisine.
Now it's the finals, allowing you to add innovative dishes to traditional dishes.
Generally, the proportion should not exceed 30%, otherwise it will appear too personal or sensational.
As tasty as it is, it's not classic enough.
After all, it is a competition, and the banquet made by Qiao Zhi is on a par with Hao Wang's three-headed banquet, not to mention the banquet made by other chefs.
Qiao Zhi's banquet is more like a collection of home-cooked dishes, although the taste is amazing, but without the support of classics, it seems unremarkable.
Huainan cuisine can now take deep root in the country, because of its systematization and sense of grade.
In short, customers enjoy Huainan cuisine in the hope of feeling the dignity of the state banquet.
Home-cooked stir-frying, it seems that the style is not enough.
Just like the scoring of diving competitions, no matter how high the completion score is, the difficulty score is the upper limit.
No matter how beautiful the posture is, no matter how light the movement is, and how beautiful the splash is when falling into the water, even if you can get a full score, it is lower than other difficult action combinations.
The judges began to argue fiercely.
"Tea eggs are perfect, but they are only tea eggs after all. Shen Bowei said solemnly.
He always believes that Qiao Zhi's biggest problem is to underestimate the importance of this final.
Tea eggs are too controversial, not to mention that they were criticized because of a strange remark on Treasure Island.
"The whole table seems to be home-cooked, although the taste of each dish is good, but it is difficult to compare with the Huainan banquet. Tang Long said with a smile.
He still pays attention to proportions when he speaks, knowing that Qiao Zhi is a concubine, so he naturally leaves a few points.
He secretly laughed at Shen Bowei for his low emotional intelligence, what good is offending Qiao Zhi?
"It's a pity, why choose such a banquet? With his cooking skills, he can completely control more complicated banquets. Could it be a lack of experience in the competition?" Luo Yi regretted.
She admires Qiao Zhi very much, and always feels that Qiao Zhi's cooking banquet has a sense of familiarity, but she can't remember when she has been in contact with it.
"The score in the third stage is probably going to be caught up by Hao Wang, but with his level, there should be no problem in representing the group in the finals. Gong Fachao thought to himself.
Although Qiao Zhi has only been in Huaixiang Restaurant for a short time, it is somewhat related after all.
The other judges bowed their heads and exchanged ears, and Zheng Ze and Tian Zheng walked aside.
Zheng Ze saw Tian Zheng's solemn face, and said with a smile: "What do you feel?"
Tian Zheng's reaction was similar to that when he first came into contact with Zheng Ze, which made him feel shocked.
Tian Zheng sighed: "No wonder you can't forget, he is definitely a talent." ”
"Do you see the essence of the banquet he just made?" Zheng Ze said with a smile.
"Can't be wrong!" Tian Zheng said in a deep voice.
The two national chefs had mixed emotions, and they saw the highlights of Qiao Zhi's banquet.
Among the judges, who are experienced and have a wide range of experience, they also fell into contemplation, pondering the uniqueness of Qiao Zhi's banquet.
To be able to gain a firm foothold in Huaixiang Group, they are well-informed.
Although I thought the banquet was mediocre at first, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was something else.
Zheng Ze summoned all the judges to their seats, and everyone began to discuss how to score Qiao Zhi.
It took more than ten minutes before the judges reached an agreement.
It only took a few minutes to score Hao Wang.
Because the banquet made by Qiao Zhi is very controversial, especially many details need to be discussed.
As the minutes passed, Hao Wang's mood became stale, his feet seemed to be roasted by fire, and he felt that it was difficult to stand still.
Finally the host walked out.
She smiled with a smile on her face, "The score of the No. 1 station came out, and the average score of more than 20 judges was 99.2 points. ”
The field became silent in an instant.
Qiao Zhi's score may be very high, but I didn't expect it to be so outrageously high.
Could it be that these judges don't even want face in order to curry favor with the top management of the group?
The audience exploded, and everyone began to talk.
How could the score of this table of dishes made by Qiao Zhi be so high?
"Must be cheating? The dishes on that table look like an ordinary family dinner, and it's not elegant at all. ”
"Hao Wang's three-headed banquet is the pinnacle, it can be called a textbook level, how can it be higher than his score, is it really a horse master, you can do whatever you want?"
Tian Zheng naturally guessed that this result would cause an uproar in the audience.
This score was set by him and Zheng Ze, and even a large part of the judges were questioning Qiao Zhi's banquet.
Zheng Ze gave Tian Zheng a look, and Tian Zheng knew that he had let him explain to everyone.
Answer questions and solve doubts, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.
Tian Zheng found the microphone from the host and looked around, his voice was low, as if he was suppressing inexplicable excitement and joy.
At this time, a figure suddenly rushed out and snatched the microphone from Tian Zheng's hand.
Why did Hao Wang suddenly rush to the stage?
Is he questioning this result?
Hao Wang is the leader of this selection competition, and everyone is optimistic about his performance this time.
Now that Hao Wang's first place has been stripped away, he is qualified to raise criticism.
For Huaixiang Group, it will also be a huge test.
The purpose of the selection competition is to screen out outstanding talents and reserve talents for the chef team.
Hao Wang not only represents himself, but also represents other players.
If Hao Wang makes a big fuss, Huaixiang Group must explain, otherwise it will chill many people's hearts.
"I'm standing here, I have to apologize to Qiao Zhi!
I sincerely apologize for saying a lot of hurtful things to him before. ”
Hao Wang's words were like thunder on the ground, making no one feel inexplicable.
Hao Wang: What's wrong?
Did he take the wrong medicine?
Or is it because of failure, under the rage, and the loss of heart and madness?
"My master once told me that there are people outside of the world, and I used to be too confident. Hao Wang sighed, "Qiao Zhi taught me a lesson, the dish on his table just now is an authentic Huainan cuisine, no matter the creativity, heritage or status, it is far more than the three-headed banquet." ”
"All the people present are practitioners in the catering industry, and most of them are descendants of Huainan cuisine.
Huainan cuisine has been dominating the state banquet in recent years, and it is unique in its delicacy and heritage. Anyone who has studied the history of Huainan cuisine is inseparable from "Red Chamber Cuisine".
In the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", a large number of delicacies are recorded, and these delicacies are not fictional, but born out of a famous private house. That's the garden menu!"
The dishes he cooked were not unknown, but based on the Suiyuan menu, he selected 28 dishes, and used extremely imaginative and creative methods to cook a banquet with a sense of hierarchy and profound heritage. ”
There are many people in front of them who question the legitimacy of Qiao Zhi's banquet, thinking that it is not Huainan cuisine.
Hao Wang has now qualified this banquet.
And it is even more rare to say this from Hao Wang's mouth.
Of course, everyone is no stranger to Suiyuan cuisine.
Suiyuan cuisine is an orthodox Huainan cuisine, but it has been lost for more than 200 years.
When it comes to Suiyuan cuisine, I have to mention Yuan Mei, the owner of Suiyuan.
He is a gourmet, with 40 years of experience, in the form of essays in the Chinese language, delicately described the food conditions and cooking techniques in Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the Qianlong period, with a large number of pages to describe in detail 326 kinds of northern and southern dishes popular from the 14th century to the 18th century, and also introduced the famous wine and tea at that time, which is a very important Chinese food masterpiece in the Qing Dynasty.
The book is divided into a list of instructions, a list of precepts, a list of seafood, a list of river fresh, a list of special animals, a list of miscellaneous animals, a list of feathers, a list of scales in the aquarium, a list of scales in the aquarium, a list of miscellaneous vegetables, a small menu, a list of dim sum, a list of rice porridge and a list of vegetables and wine.
This book has long been recognized as a classic for chefs.
Interestingly, Yuan Mei can only be regarded as a gourmet, not a cook, and he himself does not know how to cook.
As for Suiyuan, it is also a place with a history.
Suiyuan is located in the area of Xiaocang Mountain in the Yumai of Qiongjin, which was originally the ancestor of Cao Xueqin, the author of "Dream of Red Mansions", and the in-law of the Cao family, Fucha Mingyi, once said that Suiyuan is the Grand View Garden in "Dream of Red Mansions".
Yuan Mei settled in Qiongjin in his later years, built Suiyuan, and wrote works including "Suiyuan Poems" and "Suiyuan Food List".
Hao Wang's words caused a huge sensation at the scene.
It's not that there is no background, it's just that everyone didn't see the doorway for a while.
The questioners just now felt that they had been slapped in the face.
The key is that this slap was not made by Qiao Zhi, but by Hao Wang.
It hurts hotly!
Isn't that nearly 200 years lost?"
"Could it be a replica of the menu? ”
Now there are a lot of imitation garden vegetables on the market, all of which are sold with sheep's heads.
Many people will question whether Qiao Zhi is just relying on the fame of Suiyuan Cai.
"Even if it's just creative, it's very thoughtful. He's so bold that he did it in the final, isn't he afraid of missing out?"
There are also people who recognize Qiao Zhi's courage.
"A few years ago, wasn't there a national chef who developed more than 100 dishes of Suiyuan cuisine? I think it is just based on personal experience, after all, no one knows what kind of Suiyuan cuisine tastes. ”
As an experienced chef, you will only make dishes that you do best on key occasions.
Suiyuan cuisine is a recipe that has been lost for 200 years, and some people even question whether this recipe can really make delicious delicacies, and Qiao Zhi is extremely risky to do so.
However, Hao Wang's words have proved that Qiao Zhi's Suiyuan dishes have been approved by him.
It is the highest praise to be recognized by opponents.
What's more, what is the quality of the dishes, the judges this time are all famous chefs of Huainan cuisine, and they can't rub sand in their eyes.
It's creative and the taste is memorable.
Zheng Ze looked at Hao Wang on the stage, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.
Excellent people are arrogant, and so is Hao Wang.
He is able to put his head down and recognize the strengths of others, which many people can't do.
This step, taking advance as retreat, is not a shame, but in fact it is clever.
As for Qiao Zhi, he was dazed and stunned!
What's the situation?
Hao Wang's divine assist is really unexpected!
