Volume 2: The Battle of the Chef Chapter 066 It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it on!
Qiao Zhi is used to getting up early to prepare breakfast, even if Tao Rushuang is not there, he will make breakfast for three people.
At first, Tao Ruxue would say that Qiao Zhi was too wasteful, but over time, she accepted and acquiesced to Qiao Zhi's strange sense of breakfast ritual.
Even though my sister is not at home, there will be her presence at home.
Tao Ruxue even often misses Tao Ruxue and wants to ask her how she is now, but she often can't open her mouth.
The dynamics of my sister were more learned from Qiao Zhi's mouth, which made Tao Ruxue feel quite unbalanced.
In fact, she also began to reflect on why her sister was willing to get close to Qiao Zhi, and she always maintained an attitude of rejection to herself.
Last weekend, Tao Rushuang participated in Shonan Satellite TV's "Run! Youth Idol", and it is said that the effect is good, and she has passed the preliminary stage and successfully entered the second stage. Qiao Zhi gave Tao Ruxue a chopstick and cabbage.
"Run! Youth Idol" is a talent show of Shonan Satellite TV, and many contestants participate every year, can she pass it successfully?" Tao Ruxue is not optimistic about her sister.
"Rushuang is not so bad. This year's talent show is ingenious and has launched three major sections, the appearance competition area, the strength competition area, and the comprehensive competition area. Ru Shuang may be slightly inferior in terms of talent, but her appearance is high. Qiao Zhi said like a few treasures.
"You're really idle enough to pay attention to this variety show. Tao Ruxue glanced at Qiao Zhi with disdain.
Tao Ruxue still agrees with Qiao Zhi's judgment in her heart, if you just look at her face, Tao Rushuang will definitely not lose to anyone.
After eating, Qiao Zhi habitually got up.
Tao Ruxue began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the two of them had reached a tacit understanding in many aspects of their lives.
Tao Ruxue's level of housework has improved a lot recently.
From breaking a lot of dishes at the beginning, to being able to basically clean the kitchenware now, has made Qiao Zhi satisfied.
Qiao Zhi and Tao Ruxue have a tacit understanding in many aspects.
Although the two still often quarrel, they are able to live under the same roof.
The Huaixiang Group internal competition kicked off last week, and the first week did not enter the actual PK stage, but trained more than 600 chefs.
Qiao Zhi feels that this is the essence of Huaixiang Group's success.
Huaixiang Group's corporate culture is particularly good, each chef will often receive training, not only pay attention to the quality of business, but also have extremely strict requirements for professional ethics, so Huaixiang Group's kitchen has never had a negative health problem.
"Dun'er" - Zhong Shi spent a long time in his inner struggle from despising Qiao Zhi at the beginning, to slowly recognizing his character.
"It's finally going to be today, so I'm very nervous. ”
"You see, you've gone to the toilet eight times in ten minutes. ”
"Aren't you nervous at all?"
"Nervous? non-existent!"
Qiao Zhi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Damn, the air conditioning temperature in this room is so high." ”
Zhong Shi secretly scolded Qiao Zhi for being a pretending criminal, obviously too nervous, so he had to put on a very comfortable appearance.
"Although it is a preliminary round, more than 80% of the players will be screened, and the probability is amazing. ”
The preliminary round is very long, there will be about 100 participants every day, and in the end, only the top 100 will be left.
Huaixiang Group also attaches great importance to this selection, so it invests time to ensure that outstanding talents will not be missed.
Qiao Zhi bowed slightly, expressing his agreement.
The judges of the preliminary competition are divided into several groups, all of whom are the chefs of Huaixiang Group, and the judges of their group, in addition to Gong Fachao, also include Tang Long, Shen Bowei, and Luo Yi.
Among them, Luo Yi is more special, and she is the only female chef.
In the chef industry, the proportion of female chefs is very large, and Luoyi is a rare special chef.
"It's my turn. Zhong Shi's face stiffened, and he dragged his heavy steps into the examination room, like a prisoner on trial.
The examination room is specially built, which completely restores the final stage of the last King of Chef Competition, which is comparable to the back kitchen of a three-Michelin star hotel.
"Your topic is sweet and sour fish. Tang Long was a smiling tiger, announcing with a friendly expression.
Zhong Shi sighed softly and prepared to cook sweet and sour fish.
Sweet and sour fish is the most basic dish, but the more this is the case, the more the chef's basic skills are tested.
Zhong Shi walked to the edge of the pool, found a carp of the right size, and as soon as he got out of the net, the fish jumped up from the water and jumped on the ground.
Zhong Shi's heart was cold, this is over, he has not started yet, and he was deducted impression points first.
Observing the expressions of several judges, they all showed dissatisfaction.
"It seems that I have a good eye, I am alive and kicking, and the food I make is definitely more delicious. Zhong Shi said in a hurry.
Tang Long and Shen Bowei looked at each other and smiled, and the former said, "This kid is quite humorous. ”
Shen Bowei had a black face and scored a 9 in the "on-site adaptability" column of the score sheet.
Very high score.
Zhong Shi knocked the carp unconscious and began to clean the scales and internal organs.
The scales are like sawdust that has been scraped off by a planer, peeling off the carp's body.
"This little fat man's knife work is good. Gong Fachao's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised it in his heart.
Ordinary people scrape fish scales with knives, which are very rough, and the scales are inlaid on the fish skin, so when dealing with fish scales, ordinary people will destroy the overall sense of fish skin.
However, the Bell Stone treated this fish, the skin and scales are perfectly divided.
The integrity of the fish skin is well maintained, but it is difficult to achieve such an effect if the foundation is not solid.
Although Zhong Shi was unfavorable, the next process was smooth.
He finished the carp with a knife, gently dragged it in the starch, and then threw it into the oil pan, the oil temperature was just right, and the fish quickly changed color after cooking.
Zhong Shi made another pot, peeled, washed and diced the onion, and peeled and minced the garlic.
He took out the silver jar from the bag he was carrying with him and poured the stock into the pot.
"This kid is so scheming, he actually prepared a secret broth. Luo Yi's eyes flashed, and he secretly admired in his heart.
Tang Long said in a low voice: "Don't underestimate this little fat man, he is Zhong Lao's grandson. ”
Tang Long had many intelligence channels, but he was not clear about Zhong Shi's specific strength.
Zhong Lao is a famous Huainan cuisine, although he did not work in the Huaixiang Group, but his reputation is very loud, Tao Nanfang did not hesitate to look at the thatched house in order to invite him out of the mountain.
In the end, Zhong Lao was quite moved and did not join the Huaixiang Group, but agreed to take care of the food consultant, which caused an uproar in the industry at that time.
Although Zhong Shi is not amazing in appearance, from the point of view of knife work and skills, it has been trained by famous masters.
The steaming sweet and sour carp was served, and Gong Fachao noticed that there was a circle of golden embellishments around the carp.
He took a slice and asked, "Can this be eaten too?"
"Yes. Zhong Shi said quietly.
Gong Fachao put a piece in his mouth, and a peculiar aroma and crispness spread between his teeth, "It turned out to be fried fish scales." ”
Tang Long also hurriedly took a bite, the smile on his face bloomed, and he exclaimed, "What an amazing broth!"
If you want to fry such delicious fish scales, you not only need to control the heat, but more importantly, there is a secret sauce in it.
Take another bite of the fish to bring the crispy and tender taste to the extreme.
It is very rare to be able to score more than 90 points.
Fish scales are the soul, unexpected and innovative.
"It's done, let's go back and wait for the notice. Shen Bowei said in a cold voice.
Zhong Shi originally felt good about himself, but Shen Bowei's black face, coupled with his ruthless voice, made his mood fall to the bottom in an instant.
Zhong Shi came out of the arena with a large wet back.
He didn't leave directly, but found a random spot in the hall.
After Zhong Shi left, the four of them began to score their own scores, handed over the results to a special statistician, and then began to discuss.
"I didn't expect the level of the players to be so high in this year's internal competition. Needless to say, I didn't expect a talent like Zhong Shi to appear, and I am confident in this year's King Chef Competition. Tang Long secretly glanced at the other three and said with a smile.
Gong Fachao knew that although Chen Ming's level was good, compared to Zhong Shi's performance, it seemed too mediocre. However, as his master, Gong Fachao still has to take a stand in support of Chen Ming, and said implicitly: "Chen Ming's defect is that he is not stable enough, and he only completes 80% of the usual level. ”
Luo Yi said: "Chef Gong is modest. ”
The seeded players are all four of them approved in the early stage, and many of them are related to each other.
Luo Yi belongs to the kind of person who is extremely serious, if Chen Ming's strength is not good, she will definitely not be able to rub sand in her eyes.
Tang Long flipped through the next list, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "The next person is amazing." ”
Luo Yi subconsciously glanced at it, frowned, and said, "It turned out to be him." ”
If people like Chen Ming are the seed players of the Huainan Group, then Qiao Zhi belongs to the seed players of the King of Chef Competition, after all, Mei Ling has emphasized his strength in front of so many people.
"In my opinion, he's just hype. Have you seen the recipes in his cafeteria?" said Shen Bowei coldly.
"What's wrong with the recipe?" Tang Long smiled all over his face.
"It's just ripping off. Shen Bowei said the price of two dishes.
Luo Yi's face also changed slightly, "This person's character is problematic, and he completely ignores the feelings of customers. Moreover, to destroy and confuse market prices, people like him must be eliminated from our ranks. ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Bowei's mouth, "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip around, and you can know if it's really genuine." ”
Tang Longxin said that Luoyi was a little too much on the line, and now there are various hype models in the catering industry, and Qiao Zhi's way of setting the price high is better than a vicious price war.
Tang Long glanced at Gong Fachao and said tentatively: "He once interned in the back kitchen of Huaixiang Restaurant? ”
If it is Gong Fachao's relationship, everyone will have to be merciful to his subordinates and mouths.
Qiao Zhi's solution to the crisis of Huaixiang Restaurant was well covered up at that time, so Gong Fachao didn't know that Qiao Zhi had secretly helped him at that time.
Gong Fachao really didn't have the slightest impression of Qiao Zhi, and coughed awkwardly, "I don't know him either." Let's hurry up. ”
The four judges didn't seem to have any good impression of Qiao Zhi, which was the reason why Mu Xiu would be destroyed by Lin Feng.
Unless Qiao Zhi shows his strength beyond ordinary people, he will be able to get promoted.
Comparatively speaking, Qiao Zhi's difficulty is much higher than Zhong Shi's.
