Volume 2: The Chef King Chapter 099 Three-headed Banquet!
Tao Nanfang's expression was a little ugly, secretly wondering what tricks Qiao Zhi was doing?
Is it a mystery?
Song Hengde was a little confused in his heart, is it possible for Qiao Zhi to mess up this final?
If Qiao Zhi didn't get the right to qualify for the King of Chef Competition, then the gambling agreement between him and Tao Nanfang would fail, and Tao Nanfang would take back his Internet celebrity canteen.
In this way, Qiao Zhi will lose Tao Nanfang's trust and lose the opportunity to enter the top management of Huaixiang Group.
Hao Wang has completed 90% of the dishes in two-thirds of the time.
The next dishes that have not yet been served are some key dishes, which require him to spend a lot of time and energy to carve with his heart.
Sneaking a glance at Qiao Zhi, Hao Wang was almost not happy.
In addition to boiling a pot of soup, Qiao Zhi has not yet served a single dish.
Now is the competition, although it will not add points if it is completed in advance, but it will definitely have a natural advantage to give the judges a taste as soon as possible.
The judges have to try twenty tables of dishes, the front is hungry, and the back is more and more.
It is inevitable that you will gradually lose your appetite and judge the taste of a dish completely by experience and instinct.
If you finish all the dishes early, it will be a big advantage.
In general, the cooking competition is scored after a dish is served, but now the rules have been modified, and a table of banquets needs to be completed before evaluation.
It gives more space to those skilled chefs to play.
"The chef at the second table is so fast, he has basically completed all the dishes. ”
"He's the No. 1 seed, and if he hadn't had a connection, he would have been on the No. 1 stage. ”
"The one who walked through the back door on the No. 1 platform hasn't served a dish yet, is he going to give up?"
"There's still more than an hour, it's still too late to start cooking!"
Ding, with a crisp golden sound, Hao Wang pressed the red switch at hand.
The camera swept to his face, his expression was calm and calm, and he was full of domineering.
Hao Wang completed his task more than an hour ahead of schedule.
It is mainly a three-headed banquet, supplemented by Huainante sè dishes, with a total of 28 dishes, which are full of a table.
His arrangement is extremely exquisite, and when viewed from the air, it seems to be from the center, constantly spreading out in circles to form a complete composition.
"So fast!"
Luo Yi lowered his voice, and there was a worry in his eyes.
Although the speed is fast enough, will the quality be compromised?
Luo Yi still admires Hao Wang's cooking skills.
Although the dishes he makes are not as imaginative as Qiao Zhi, in terms of basic skills, he is definitely one of the best among all the contestants.
Tang Long still smiled at the corner of his mouth as always, "Let's go, let's go and enjoy Hao Wang's cooking skills, although the speed may make the food discounted, but I think Hao Wang is not so superficial, he must know how to perfectly show the deliciousness of the food under the efficient rhythm." ”
Gu Zhan, the judge of Jiutian Huaixiang, showed a solemn look on his face, and he was not very satisfied with Hao Wang.
Hao Wang's cooking skills, Gu Zhan knows it well, he can be regarded as a living recipe of Huainan cuisine.
Not to mention one table of dishes, it is three or four tables of dishes, each dish is not the same, he can easily do it, and the time is definitely shorter than the average person.
Now it's a competition, and doing it quickly can prove that you are strong, and at the same time, it will make the judges feel that you are overconfident and will greatly reduce your impression score.
Of course
It is better to do it faster than to do it slowly, and the benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
More than 20 judges, standing at the table, first watch the overall effect, wait for the spectrum in their hearts, and then give the waiter a signal that they can taste.
The waiter divides each dish and hands it to the judges one after another.
The judges are very professional, and the Chinese food is full of sè, aroma and taste.
Judging from Sè Ze, Hao Wang's improved version of the three-headed banquet has reached the realm of pleasing to the eye.
In particular, the rabbits and cranes carved from carrots are simply vivid, making this table full of vividness.
Gong Fachao began to taste the grilled pig's head, the soft and glutinous pork skin, and the chopsticks poked lightly, and then dispersed.
Roasted pig's head as the main dish of the three-headed banquet is said to have been invented by a monk. Of course, the monk himself does not eat it, but makes it for others. Later, a chef asked someone to learn the monk's wonderful skills. This famous dish with moderate saltiness and sweetness, fat but not greasy, and melts in your mouth has since spread.
I originally thought that the heat was insufficient, but it seemed that I was worried about Ann.
Hao Wang worked the heat, attacked with a large fire, and at the same time paid attention to controlling the moisture, so that the pig's head could be burned rotten but not scattered, fragrant but not burnt, and the taste was soft and not greasy, reaching the highest level of grilled pig's head.
What's more, after swallowing the pork head meat in the mouth, the irresistible aroma instantly fills the mouth.
He couldn't help but dip the soup, and after the flavorful lean meat was wrapped in the soup, it tasted more layered.
The soup is salty and sweet, which is the most special sauce flavor of Huainan cuisine, which is distinctly different from the hemp of Hunan cuisine and the spicy flavor of Sichuan cuisine.
The rarest thing about grilled pork head is that it will not make people feel greasy, and in the process of chewing, it will suddenly pop out a fruit-like aroma.
There is not much difference between the pork itself, presumably Hao Wang's broth is a bit wonderful.
In addition, the origin of grilled pig's head, invented by a monk, formed a well-conceived connotation.
Huainan cuisine has always been elegant, and with this kind of background, the whole table of dishes has a soul.
As for trying to dismantle the braised silver carp head again, it is also a rare success. Although it is slightly inferior to Qiao Zhi's realm of cooking with heart, it is definitely a textbook-level classic.
With Shen Bowei's tricky and mean taste buds, he was also completely conquered by Hao Wang's table dishes.
In addition to the usual side dishes of the three-headed feast, several seafood dishes are also made.
The reason why this banquet is recognized as an innovative dish is because there are many seafood elements added to the dishes.
Seafood is not the best ingredient of Huainan cuisine, but through Hao Wang's special cooking techniques, seafood dishes have the distinctive characteristics of Huainan cuisine.
Traditional Huainan cuisine is mainly Jiangxian, but modern people are more interested in seafood, so the starting point of Hao Wang's innovation is to respect the improvement of commercial laws.
This banquet can not only be used for competitions, but also can be promoted to the market, which is a rare banquet that brings real benefits.
If it is placed in the high-end restaurant of Huaixiang Group, this table of dishes can be quoted at least 6,888 yuan, which can create great benefits for the group.
Although Qiao Zhi's previous diet meal was very popular, the unit price was very low, and compared with the economic benefits of this table, it was obviously no longer a level.
Hao Wang can be regarded as well-intentioned, he wants to prove himself comprehensively, and he is definitely stronger than Qiao Zhi's strength.
"Can you try your stock alone?" Gong Fachao was curious.
"Absolutely. Hao Wang hurriedly filled a small bowl and handed it to Gong Fachao.
After Gong Fachao tasted it, his eyes showed a stunned sè
"The secret is really here, no wonder the grilled pig's head is not only not greasy, but also exudes a fruity aroma." It's no wonder that the broth takes less time to boil than others, and all the mystery is in this pot of soup. ”
The rest of the judges saw Gong Fachao praise like this, and they also began to taste the soup made by Hao Wang.
"Is this vegetarian broth?" Luo Yi's eyes lit up.
Generally, chefs use chicken soup and duck soup as the main ingredients, although Hao Wang also uses chicken and duck, but the main ingredients he chooses are fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables do not need to be boiled for a long time to force out the flavor of the soup, and with the addition of some seasoning ratios, a unique vegetarian soup stock is formed.
Vegetarian soup is too demanding for the chef, because once it is not done well, there will be a strange taste, not to mention adding sè to the dish, but it will drag down the taste of the ingredients.
Hao Wang is bold and careful, which is based on his own solid foundation.
Talents like Hao Wang are definitely talents worthy of cultivation in Huaixiang Group.
The three-headed banquet impressed the judges, and they tacitly began to score and gave Hao Wang a very high score.
Although most of the rest of the contestants are still working on their own works, they have basically completed the main part of the banquet.
In the last hour, start sweeping the tail and process some of the simpler foods.
Qiao Zhi's pace is very slow, and he also made some achievements and finished making the broth!
Stock is the soul of a chef.
Despite the tight schedule, Qiao Zhi decided to boil the broth with his heart.
No soup closes.
Without dashi, he would rather not cook a single dish, which is a sense of awe for his profession.
Qiao Zhi didn't care about the changes around him, he put all his attention on the desk, immersed in the fun of cooking food.
Ignorance, ridicule, questioning, these negative energies do not affect him.
To cook a table of delightful food, the chef himself should be happy in the first place.
Qiao Zhi lifted the lid of the pot, it was steaming, the mist was swirling, and the aroma was wafting around.
The rest of the contestants, including Hao Wang, were attracted by this peculiar taste and praised it, this soup is so fragrant!
The fragrance of the broth is unprecedented, unheard of, not only the fragrance of chicken and duck, but also a fragrance similar to flowers and plants.
Luo Yi's attention was always partially distracted, and he was on Qiao Zhi's side.
She was looking forward to what Qiao Zhi would do in the final round.
Qiao Zhi surprised them at the beginning.
That pot of tea eggs is inexplicably ingenious, but I always feel that there is a hidden mystery.
Qiao Zhi finally started making food, and although he could control six pots at the same time, the stove had a limited position and could only hold four pots at the same time.
In front of Qiao Zhi, there were four silver utensils, which contained water, and four iron spoons were put into them, and when the four pots were hot, he grabbed the end of a spatula handle with his left and right hands, scooped in the water, and sprinkled them into the four pots respectively.
The iron spoon was put into the utensils again, Qiao Zhi grabbed the bottom of the pot, and gently rippled, and the water flew out along the edge of the pot.
In the blink of an eye, the four pots have been brushed, and then they do their own thing, or put in water, or put in oil......
Qiao Zhi's movements are skillful, like a juggling operation.
Almost all of them stopped talking, engrossed in observing every detail of Qiao Zhi.
The side dishes have long been put aside, and the process has become very smooth.
Between the red firelight and the hazy smoke, the dishes are coming out one after another.
Four pots are on the battlefield at the same time, and the efficiency is so fast that it is jaw-dropping.
