Volume 2: Chef King Contest Chapter 407 That kid is a liar!
"Carp with wine pickles" is a dish that Germans can't avoid.
When Qiao Zhi saw the title, he knew that Mueller would definitely choose this dish.
This dish is very old, and the process is more exquisite.
Let the fish "swim" three times in water, butter, and wine.
Müller marinates the fish in red wine and processes the ingredients.
Wash the fresh fennel, chop part of it, wash the red cabbage and carrots, cut them into shreds, blanch them in a pot and set aside.
Müller is very confident in his dish.
I learned this dish at the age of twelve.
As a chef in a restaurant, this dish is made at least hundreds of times.
The dish was also delved into.
The water is not ordinary water, it comes from a well, and the water is sweet and sweet.
He specially picked some from his hometown town in Germany, which he could use in this dish.
Although the wine is not as good as the home-brewed wine, it is also quite high-quality.
As for the butter, it is made of top quality Darigold butter.
Muller was in a relaxed mood.
This helps him to play beyond the norm.
Mueller also went to Qiao Zhi's cafeteria to eat.
Although the resentment against him is not as strong as Salim's.
But Mueller has his own assessment of Qiao Zhi's strength.
It should not be far from the strength of his deputy.
Compared to himself, it is clearly not a level.
As one of the organizers of the anti-host coalition, he has a natural rejection of Chinese chefs.
Measuring each other's strength, the topic is in their favor, and Muller is very confident in the showdown with Qiao Zhi.
Plus, he has a hidden plus point.
Lima, the chief judge, has a good impression of himself.
In the last round, I highly praised myself, and even hinted that I was looking forward to winning the first place in the exchange meeting.
As a judge, especially a female judge, such a hint is too obvious.
Müller decided to wait until the end of the World Culinary Exchange and offered to invite him to have a drink immediately.
See if there's a chance to go further.
Although Lima is seven or eight years older than him, he looks plump and charming, which is the style that Muller likes.
With a touch of emotion, it will more or less have some impact on the outcome of the game.
If Qiao Zhi and Muller are of equal strength.
Lima has absolutely no hesitation in declaring Muller the winner.
Müller exemplifies the rigor of a German chef.
Each knife is slow, but the size and thickness of the fish are extremely carefully controlled.
In the eyes, it has a special manly taste.
Judging by his appearance, tall and handsome, with slightly curly blonde hair and royal blue eyes, Muller really has the upper hand.
In competition, impression scores are crucial.
Lima also observes Qiao Zhi from a professional point of view.
I saw that in addition to handling mandarin fish, he was also handling a soft-shelled turtle.
Qiao Zhi sliced the fish, beat it into minced fish, kneaded it into a pearl shape, and blanched it in 90 degrees of hot water.
Then cut off the skirt of the soft-shelled turtle, put in the green onion segments, and simmer.
Finally, the shell of the soft-shelled turtle is used as an ornament, and the inside side of the white sè is facing up, and a few green vegetables are blanched to decorate.
Finally, and crucially, heat up the pan, add the rock sugar, and put the fish balls in it.
Minutes and seconds passed.
In the smoke, the two were focused and meticulous.
Müller and Qiao Zhi completed their work almost simultaneously.
Judging from their appearance, the two are not equal.
Müller's "wine pickled carp" is golden and crispy.
The fish cooked by Qiao Zhi exudes a special sweet aroma.
"I have eaten Mr. Muller's dish and know the name. I don't know what this dish you cook is called
"Lima and the other two judges were curious.
I don't know if you've heard of "Dream of Red Mansions", its author Cao Xueqin, personally cooked a banquet dish when entertaining friends. Qiao Zhi explained.
Lima's expression changed slightly, she had read "Dream of Red Mansions".
This is a very famous classic in China, and there are many impressive delicacies in it.
Carefully study the quality of the dish.
The fish balls are like pearls, bright and smooth, as big as tung seeds, and suddenly there is an impulse.
The three judges began to taste two dishes.
Mueller was a little nervous.
I thought it was nine times out of ten, but now I have a bad premonition.
Judging by the amount of food eaten by the judges, Qiao Zhi's dish is more popular.
Will you lose?
Absolutely not!
"Now announce the results! This knockout match was won by Mr. Qiao from Huaxia. Lima calmly announced the result.
Despite having a crush on the handsome Muller, she had to be realistic.
Qiao Zhi conquered her and two other judges.
"Can I try this dish!"
Mueller breathed heavily.
He didn't believe he had just lost.
Even if you lose, you can't lose on a dish you're proud of.
What's more, Qiao Zhi is a guy who opens a black shop, and the industry is disgraced.
How could it be possible to lose to him?
When Indian chef Salim lost to Qiao Zhi, Muller was madly despised in his heart for Salim's lack of strength.
Now, if I lose, I will not become the most despised kind of person.
Before the game, Muller promised the members of the anti-host league that Qiao Zhi would be easily eliminated in this round.
"Yes!"
Lima spoke to two judges.
It was decided to give Muller this chance.
In fact, according to the rules of the competition, the judges do not have to do this.
Mueller picked up the fish balls with chopsticks and pulled out the shredded sugar.
This is one of the highlights of Qiao Zhi's dish.
Fish balls, which taste very sweet and have a playful taste, make the whole dish full of vitality throughout the year.
Mueller puts the fish balls in his mouth.
The outer layer of crispy shell is gently crumbled, and the sweet glutinous juice spreads in the mouth.
The fish was warmer than expected, and the temperature was controlled at around 35 degrees Celsius.
As the fish melts in your mouth, a burst of sweetness spreads.
Muller's spirit was shaken.
Between the teeth, it looks like a nimble fish swimming by.
Sweetness is always the taste that most stimulates the brain center to secrete happy hormones.
This is also the reason why children do not have the slightest immunity to candy.
The stonningly tender fish, the crispy and delicious skin, the delicious fish broth, and the three complex textures will make it impossible for even the most discerning gourmets to find flaws.
Muller sandwiched a skirt and put it in his mouth, which is smooth and rich, making up for the lack of freshness and making the whole dish instantly balanced.
Mueller couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect fish to do this!"
"Do you approve of our results?" asked Lima softly.
"That's right, I have to admit, convinced. Mueller gave Qiao Zhi a deep look, "I finally know why Sandra lost to you." ”
"We all underestimated you. You've been hiding your strength. Deliberately create weakness and make us underestimate your strength. We're all ridiculous. Because if you go to the cafeteria to find out, you can know your true strength. If nothing else, you must have been prepared for it and deliberately created a false impression to deceive us. ”
Qiao Zhi smiled faintly, "My imagination is really rich enough." ”
Mueller sighed darkly.
"Wine Pickled Carp" would only score more than 28 points if it had been replaced by another opponent.
But, there is no harm without contrast.
Qiao Zhi's "Old Mussel Huaizhu" is really good.
Muller scored just a pitiful 24 points.
Qiao Zhi was under the agitation of Megumi Kitaoka, and finally scored 30 points in this round of the game.
......
The first day of the World Culinary Exchange Conference has come to an end.
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, the eight chefs who have made the cut will play the finals.
It's not a one-on-one match, it's a one-on-seven situation.
There will be several online live broadcast platforms at the scene.
Nearly 10,000 people will attend the venue.
I thought that all the tickets would be given away to support the scene, but I didn't expect that since yesterday, the final tickets suddenly sold well.
Scalpers buy tickets at three times the price and sell them at five times the price, and still make huge profits.
Within the anti-host coalition, there was a deathly silence.
Muller's defeat to Qiao Zhi undoubtedly made the alliance exist in name only.
tried their best, and finally let the two Chinese chefs enter the finals.
In addition to Wu Linfeng, Qiao Zhi also made it to the finals.
Mueller tweeted an intriguing message.
"That kid is a liar!"
Subsequently, the anti-host coalition tacitly dissolved.
None of this improvised alliance made it to the finals, and there was no need to exist.
It turns out to be true.
The real strong are lonely and don't need to huddle for warmth.
Liu Jinsong almost didn't laugh when he heard the name of the dish chosen by Qiao Zhi in the second round of elimination.
"Lao Beng Huaizhu, it really doesn't look like him when he chooses such a dish name full of bad taste. ”
As the core magazine of the Chinese Cuisine Association, "Feast" magazine will naturally not be absent from such an important event.
Liu Jinsong focused entirely on Qiao Zhi.
For Wu Linfeng, who was more out of the two rounds of elimination, he didn't pay any attention at all.
Under Liu Jinsong's stubborn pestering, Mei Ling reluctantly copied the video of Qiao Zhi in the live game to him, "As a professional reporter, you shouldn't be completely interested in Qiao Zhi, right?"
Liu Jinsong smiled: "As a professional reporter, I must have a soft spot for Qiao Zhi. If I'm not mistaken, Qiao Zhi started to release fog bombs again before the game, right? Let those players who came here taste the works with a nine-fold discount and underestimate their strength. Later, before the exchange meeting began, he deliberately took a walk to the news, saying that he had become a vegetative person. It's a pity that such a person doesn't want to be a director. ”
Mei Ling frowned and said, "I also told him about it." His habit of hiding hole cards really can't be changed. ”
Liu Jinsong flooded out a bunch of printed materials from the folder, "Look at these news, do you have any new discoveries." ”
Mei Ling read the headline of the first news article, "Food critic Lima loves to read 'Dream of Red Mansions'".
"Do you suspect that Qiao Zhi has investigated the referee's information in advance, so you do what he likes?"
"Look at the second news!"
Mei Ling flipped to the second page, "He knew in advance that the Romanian judges liked to eat Sichuan food, so he suddenly made a stir-fried kung pao chicken with burning sauce?"
Liu Jinsong touched his chin and sighed: "He didn't just investigate these two judges, not surprisingly, he investigated all the judges involved in this competition, so he will be targeted in the knockout round." ”
Mei Ling took a deep breath and said with emotion: "When you say this, I have a new understanding of him." ”
Liu Jinsong laughed, "We have produced so many chefs in Huaxia in the past, and King Qiao is really fresh and unique. I'm really curious what tricks he will toss in the final stage!"
