Volume 2: Chef King Contest Chapter 081 One Heart and Three Purposes!
Qiao Zhi is about 1.8 meters tall. Sometimes one meter seven is a few big, sometimes one meter eight is small, and he doesn't have an accurate number.
Short head, skin tone is whiter than ordinary people, double eyelids, deep eyebrows, but definitely not sharp sword eyebrows, round face shape, giving people a strong affinity.
Qiao Zhi belongs to the kind of person who looks a little ordinary at first glance, but after looking at him for a long time, he will feel that he is a sunny boy.
Among the 100 chefs in the second round, Qiao Zhi's appearance can be ranked in the top five.
After all, those who are good-looking rely on their faces to eat, so why join the particularly hard catering industry.
As Luo Yi guessed, Zheng Ze came specifically for Qiao Zhi.
The reason why he came here was not a simple selection, but to see if Qiao Zhi was genuine.
There are two reasons why Zheng Ze can pay so much attention.
One of them is that in the first round of selection of Huaixiang Group, a meat foamed eggplant not only conquered the judges, but also promoted it throughout the country, and achieved extremely amazing results.
The second is that Tao Nanfang was in the drunken Eight Immortals courtyard, banqueting the three families of Huang, Cao, and Wang, and conspiring with the Zhan family.
Zheng Ze heard from the outside that Huang Cheng commented that the table of dishes he bought was not as good as the home-cooked chicken soup made by Qiao Zhi.
Although Zheng Ze is not narrow-minded, he has always been arrogant.
He admits that he is not good at business, but he has always been unconvinced by anyone when it comes to cooking.
Not to mention that it was still a young man in his twenties.
Zheng Ze didn't care about it originally, thinking it was a joke.
What's more, knowing that Qiao Zhi's weight loss meal has sold so well in the country, it is inevitable that he will be curious about Qiao Zhi.
Qiao Zhi recognized several judges who had scored him in the first round, and in addition to that, there were more than a dozen people.
It's a bit of a lie to say not to be nervous.
The key is that these people have different eyes, and they are not very friendly.
After all, his performance in the first round was so good that everyone wondered if he was just a flash in the pan.
He didn't know Zheng Ze, but he felt that the old gentleman must be the core of a group of people.
The internal selection competition, which is divided into three rounds, is to eliminate the players who rely on luck to get the best of the game.
Qiao Zhi fell from the sky, and everyone now wants to test his true level.
Tang Long is a very steady person, he is smiling, but in his heart he regrets why he was so impulsive in the first round.
I didn't expect the other judges to give Qiao Zhi the highest score.
Luo Yi pinched a sweat for Qiao Zhi, she firmly believed that Qiao Zhi's strength was good, but her luck was really bad.
Zheng Ze was present, and with his strict personality, he would definitely make things difficult for Qiao Zhi in various ways.
Gong Fachao's mood at the moment is very entangled, although Qiao Zhi has left, but now everyone in the circle is laughing at him for his lack of eyesight, and he actually let go of such a talented and good embryo.
Gong Fachao also admitted that Qiao Zhi was much stronger than Chen Ming.
Talent is rewarded by the old lady, and some people are naturally jealous.
Chen Ming can't support the wall with mud, but Qiao Zhi doesn't need external force and can resist the wind.
Although the outside world has mixed reviews of Qiao Zhi.
Some people think that he relies on hype to win attention, some people rumor that he and Tao Ruxue are in love, and some people say that his private life is chaotic.
From a chef's professional point of view, Qiao Zhi is definitely a good material with a gift.
"Start?"
Luo Yi glanced at Zheng Ze.
Zheng Ze bowed his head slightly and did not speak.
Everyone is used to Zheng Ze interrupting halfway and asking the players to stop.
The silence is only the silence before the storm.
"The first cold dish works: cold spring shoots. ”
Zheng Ze is interested, spring bamboo shoots are a common ingredient, but there are few cold salads, because spring bamboo shoots are difficult to taste.
Qiao Zhi chose a bunch of ingredients and took out the broth he had brought with him.
Zheng Ze suddenly realized that this was going to be made with broth, but it was a waste of time, because there was a time limit on the score of cold dishes, and it could not be more than too long.
There are no restrictions on contestants, and it is not allowed to bring secret ingredients such as dashi.
Qiao Zhi picked up the second pot and the third pot and began to prepare the second dish.
Everyone realized that in order to solve the problem of time constraints, Qiao Zhi prepared three dishes to be made at the same time.
Everyone felt that Qiao Zhi was taking a risk, this was a competition, and any mistake in every dish could lead to his elimination.
"This guy must have floated. Tang Long had a smile on his face, but he muttered in his heart.
The second round should be played steadily, and there is no need to make so many flowers!
There are only four judges in the first round, and there are more than a dozen judges in the second round, and there are twice as many eyes.
They didn't know Qiao Zhi's thoughts, but it was a pity that the stove in the arena was not enough, otherwise he would have three more pots.
During this time in the Internet celebrity canteen, he has been controlling six pots at the same time, and he is already very proficient.
"The second course is crystal winter melon?"
Many judges began to mumble that Shen Xian's crystal lotus section before was very impressive to them.
Although one is a cold dish and the other is a vegetarian stir-fry, I am afraid that there will be a contrast in taste.
Shen Xian's dish has reached its peak, and as long as Qiao Zhi's dish is slightly inferior, it will be suppressed.
Even Gong Fachao began to sweat for Qiao Zhi, Qiao Zhi's luck was too bad.
According to his score in the first round, coupled with the promotion of the weight loss god meal across the country, although he may not be able to win the first place in the internal competition, it is still very likely that he will be escorted to the finals.
Not only is he suspected of death now, but luck is not on his side......
Zheng Ze remained silent all the time, observing Qiao Zhi's knife technique, and even the gesture of raising the pot, with a strange brilliance flashing in his eyes.
Qiao Zhi was not in the accident world, and the third course also surfaced.
Huainan classic dish "dismantling braised silver carp head".
Triple Purpose!
The soup tastes into the bamboo shoots, Qiao Zhi turns the bamboo shoots into braids, and puts a lot of effort into the shape of the dish, which is upside down in a blue and white bowl, and then adds shiitake mushrooms and small tomatoes to decorate the top, which looks like an official hat.
After serving, the judges pressed lightly and found that there was something else under the bamboo shoots, and there was steamed bacon.
Zheng Ze tasted it and didn't say much.
After Luo Yi tasted it, his confidence in Qiao Zhi soared.
This dish is definitely the best of the cold dishes.
The biggest effect of cold dishes is appetizing, and this dish is not only appetizing, but also opens the taste buds.
The biggest mystery of this dish is the flavor of the broth, which has a complex layer, an ancient flavor that is long and profound.
The chef's broth is his biggest secret, so no one wants to reveal it, so it's usually a little bit more subtle when commenting.
This cold bamboo shoot dish brings out the value of the broth to the highest level.
Luo Yi even had an impulse to ask Qiao Zhi what the secret of the soup was!
"Da Da Da", accompanied by the sound of rapid chopping vegetables, everyone's attention fell on the board.
Qiao Zhi uses the extremely difficult Yanyue knife method!
Yanyue knife belongs to the extreme of the straight knife method, similar to the posture of chopping meat puree, used to cut winter melon, there is no three or five years of practice makes perfect, master the rhythm of the rhythm, so that the hands in a long time in the repetitive action, the formation of a fixed muscle memory, difficult to control.
Qiao Zhi jumped from beginning to end, not only did each slice maintain a thickness of 2 mm, but the overall shape of the ingredients would not be messy, as if it had not been cut with a knife, and more than a dozen judges squinted.
Although I have watched Qiao Zhi's video, it seems that the scene is still very shocking.
They are all special chefs, but in terms of knife work, there are only eight or nine people who can use them so skillfully.
Hold the cut melon slices with a saucer, come to the stove, skillfully heat the pan to medium heat to boil off the water, and then pour cold oil from the stove to quickly warm the pot.
In jargon, it's called a slippery pot!
As long as it is stir-frying, it must be slid in a hot pan with cold oil, which can prevent the ingredients from sticking to the pan during the cooking process.
"Snort~"
The winter melon is poured into the pot with a slight oil popping sound, accompanied by a small amount of water vapor.
The winter melon, which was originally kept whole in the plate, suddenly spread out into dozens of slices in the pot, and began to heat evenly with eight or two spoonfuls of welt and gently flipping.
Qiao Zhi's movements were light and elegant, and with his gentle turning, the breathtaking fragrance of winter melon fluttered under the action of the heat in the pot.
Drill into the mouth and nose and stir the heart!
Winter melon is an extremely tender vegetable, tender like a watery little beauty, but now it has been cut into even two-millimeter slices, which is even more delicate.
One of the characteristics of vegetarian ingredients with a tender texture is that not only is it cooked quickly, but the process from ripe to rotten is also very fast.
When to start the pot, the chef needs to work together through experience, eyesight, nose, and taste to grasp the best "cooked point".
Qiao Zhi's eyes were locked intently on the pot, and the frying spoon gently kept stirring.
The plant mucus and xylose gum secreted by the expansion of heat are about to turn into a semi-solidified jelly-like form.
The melon slices turn from transparent to turquoise, and the nose smells a unique fragrance of winter melon.
He used a seasoning spoon to pick up one-third of the fine salt, stir-fry with his right hand, and shake it slightly with his left hand to evenly sprinkle the fine salt into the winter melon.
At this time, the melon juice in the pot is just solidified!
"This is the time!"
Qiao Zhi took a deep breath, soaked the upper part of the eight or two spoons in the clear oil pot, and only used the clear oil hanging on the spoon on the wall to slightly stir-fry the winter melon two or three times.
Then, use skillfully pick the pot and turn the spoon, and accurately put all the winter melons in the pot into eight or two spoons.
Arrange the plate, take a white ceramic dish, and gently stack the fried winter melon in the middle of the plate.
The winter melon is as green as a top jadeite, and it is also wrapped in a layer of crystal clear thin clothing.
When the plate is served, it slowly flows around the plate like a beautiful woman stretching her waist, and under the illumination of the light, it exudes a bright luster like crystal.
At the same time, the pure fragrance with just the right shade is driven by the white heat, and it wafts out leisurely.
Crystal-like dishes are the perfect match for this elegant fragrance.
"Goo-dong!"
The sound of swallowing saliva was unusually clear at the moment when everyone held their breath!
Left and right subconsciously looked around, and a tacit smile was piled up on his cheeks.
They couldn't resist the temptation of food, and the saliva secreted at the base of their tongues couldn't stop digging deep into their throats......
Qiao Zhi didn't end there, and began to prepare the third dish - "dismantling the braised silver carp head".
