Chapter 188: Seven Thousand Times
Because the tip of the pork belly and the chicken gizzard have opened cross knife flowers, the fried double crispy after the pot is quite beautiful, Zhang Guanghang is very good at plating, and it looks like a phoenix with wings spread from a distance.
The oil that just came out of the pot was crispy, and it was placed on the judges' table by the staff lady.
"It's almost hot. Xu Cheng was not very satisfied with Zhang Guanghang's oil explosion double crispy, "Compared with his master, it is far behind." ”
This dish, in Xu Cheng's eyes, there are only two kinds of perfect and unqualified, whether it is one second more or one second less, it is a millimeter of miss, a difference of thousands of miles.
Xia Muqi has a bad temper, a bad personality, has no friends, regards money as his life, and has been criticized by many people in private, but there is no doubt about one thing, he is an absolutely outstanding and absolutely loyal master of Lu cuisine.
He learned Chen Qiusheng's lifelong learning, and used his life to carry it forward, he is not a pure person, but he is a pure chef.
When Xia Muqi was not seriously ill and could still hold a spatula to open the door, Xu Chengcheng was his frequent customer.
After tasting the fried double crispy made by Xia Muqi, it was difficult for Xu Cheng to say anything to praise the plate of fried double crispy in front of him, so he only tasted one bite, then put down the chopsticks, thought for a moment, and scored 8 points.
Not too high and not too low.
Han Guishan, as the boss of the Good Taste Group and the father of the gold owner of this competition, although he has long given people the impression that I am here to eat, he is also a big boss who has seen the world and has a net worth of hundreds of millions.
As a famous dish, fried double crispy has spread to Beiping, Northeast China and Jiangsu Province at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
He also ate the fried double crispy made by Xia Muqi.
Although Xia Muqi has a bad reputation in the chef circle, her reputation in a rich business circle like theirs can be described as first-class. Open the most famous private restaurant in Beiping, there are no requirements, there is no master demeanor, never do anything must be booked how many days in advance, a limited number of tables per day, today the ingredients are not fresh and can not cook and the like, just give money, as long as the money is in place, it is easy to say.
"That's it, it's okay!" Han Guishan tasted a piece of pork belly tip and commented.
I tasted another piece of chicken gizzard.
I tasted another piece of pork belly.
"It's ok, it's crispy. Han Guishan's mouth kept moving, but he always felt that something was missing.
"It's ok. Pei Shenghua said.
"Yes, it's ok. Zhu Chang agreed.
"It's okay. Tong Deyan said.
Han Guishan was shocked, what is going on today, why is the evaluation of every professional judge so similar to him?
Could it be that after these few reviews, he also has the professionalism that a professional review should have?
The final rating came out, 8.4 points.
It's just okay too.
Gu Li was still making wishful rolls unhurriedly, and when the host's sister broadcast Zhang Guanghang's score, her expression did not fluctuate at all, and the movements in her hands did not pause.
He was immersed in his own world, immersed in the feeling of contact and communication with the wishful scroll in his hand.
Everyone looked at Gu Li, and the eyes of the audience were focused on him, watching him slowly pinch the Ruyi roll in his hand, watching him slice it steadily one by one, watching him turn over the Ruyi roll in the pot with chopsticks, and watching the Ruyi roll become golden and crispy little by little.
It's a wonderful thing to see food come out of someone else's hands.
Finally, Ruyi rolled out of the pot.
Everyone present had a strong feeling, maybe incredible, maybe even they couldn't believe it, but they felt that Guli would win.
The wishful roll was brought to the judges' seat.
It seems that it is exactly the same as the Ruyi scroll made by Master Tan back then, almost carved out of a mold.
When Master Tan was still alive, the Ruyi roll was the signature dim sum in their store, and the price was not very expensive, and those who came to the store gritted their teeth and would buy one or two pieces to taste, and the taste never disappointed.
Master Tan is humble, gentle, calm, and respectful, and Gu Li's personality is very similar to him except for Mu Na. Ruyi Roll is not only Master Tan's signature dim sum, but also a precious memory of many people.
Including 5 judges on the judging panel.
Zang Mu and Master Tan have a very good personal relationship, and when Gu Li was able to enter Zhiweiju, he made a lot of effort behind his back.
Looking at the Ruyi scroll in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh: "He can do this, and he can be regarded as having a heart." ”
Xu Cheng clamped a piece.
After a long time, he said, "It's the taste." ”
"Tan Lao didn't accept him in vain back then, it's just this taste, it's not bad at all. Pei Shenghua couldn't stop sighing, "It's still Tan Lao's vision." ”
Han Guishan didn't join their group chat, mainly because he couldn't interject, he was just a rich diner, and he wouldn't eat without Xu Cheng's money. He didn't care about these twists and turns in these chef circles, anyway, he felt in his heart that the ruyi rolls made by Gu Li were delicious.
In addition to Jiang Feng's eight-treasure porridge, it is Guli's wishful roll that is the most delicious.
Thinking of Jiang Feng's eight-treasure porridge again, Han Guishan couldn't help but be a little speechless.
Jiang Feng's WeChat is still lying in his contact list, he hasn't been in touch for a long time, he has to find a time to invite him to cook porridge at home another day, what reason is it?
Han Guishan fell into deep thought.
Soon, Coulee's score also came out.
8.9 points.
The shocking upset, the biggest dark horse in the history of the competition, was unexpected but seemed to be expected, obviously everyone thought they should be surprised, but they couldn't be surprised.
"This is the template of the protagonist!" Jiang Feng sighed in the rest area.
"What template?" Wu Minqi didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing, but I didn't expect him to be the biggest dark horse in this game. Jiang Feng said.
"Zhang Guanghang shouldn't make fried double crispy, the judges present are all masters, this dish is too difficult, easy to make mistakes, and the slightest mistake will be infinitely magnified. Wu Minqi hit the nail on the head.
"Guli scored 8.9 points, and no matter what he did, he didn't really win. Jiang Feng said, after so many games, there have only been two times with more than 9 points, one is Ji Xue's tile altar flower carving chicken, and the other is his own eight-treasure porridge.
Gu Li was blocked and the noodles could still be put on this big move, Jiang Feng had to suspect that he had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger before.
was originally a genius, but he was suppressed, he didn't meet his talents, he forbears silently, pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and he is shocked.
A proper protagonist template!
"Eh, is this an upset?" In the audience, Jiang Jiankang realized it later.
"It's an upset. Jiang Jianguo said.
"Wife, do you think our son will also be upset and then promoted?" Jiang Jiankang began to dream.
Comrade Wang Xiulian didn't want to pay attention to him and threw him a roll of the eye.
In the whispered discussion of the audience, Zhu Chang took the lead in picking up the microphone as usual and said: "This result, in fact, everyone of us is very surprised, including me. After all, at the beginning, I also thought that Zhang Guanghang would be the strongest contender for the championship, but if it was only about their dishes today, Gu Li could make the cut, I was not surprised at all. There is no doubt that Zhang Guanghang is a very good and outstanding young chef, and he has the courage to dare to make this dish of fried double crispy, which has already proved his level. I believe everyone is familiar with this dish, it is a famous dish, the difficulty is very high, his finish is not bad, but it is only good, but Gu Li is different, he makes a perfect Ruyi roll, there are no flaws, no shortcomings, he deserves to win. ”
Pei Shenghua, who has always talked a lot and can open his mouth to say anything, organized the language this time, and then took the microphone from Zhu Chang's hand and said: "Let me tell you about the origin of the Ruyi roll, this dish is the late white case master Tan Wenyan's specialty dish, it was originally a dim sum in the Mongolian family banquet in the Manchu and Han Dynasty, and then it was lost for a time, and Master Tan Wenyan was able to reproduce it after painstaking study 30 years ago." And Master Tan Wenyan is Gu Li's master. ”
"We were all surprised that he dared to make this dish today, since Master Tan Wenyan passed away in nine years, no one has been able to make a perfect Ruyi roll. Today's Ruyi roll, whether it is from the appearance, cross-cut moire, taste, or the heat when frying, etc., is very perfect, and the production process is also very cautious, comfortable, and can not find any mistakes. I can only say that Master Tan did not accept the wrong apprentice back then, you used your strength to prove to everyone that Master Tan's vision is as good as ever, you will become an excellent white case chef, and you will go further than many people. ”
Gu Li still had no expression, couldn't see any emotional fluctuations, and stood quietly behind the cooking table, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The first two judges are talking about the Ruyi volume, and I have nothing to add, so let's talk about Zhang Guanghang's oil explosion and double crispness. Tong Deyan is also rare to speak politely and talk a lot, "You are very bold, you have ideas, you dare to do it, and the heat and technique are also okay, if you draw a duel with the other two players, I believe there is no problem in advancing to the finals." Judging from your age, it is quite good to be able to achieve this level, but from the perspective of this dish alone, you are not good enough, your heat control is not accurate enough, this is a dish that must be pursued to the extreme, if you do not do it, it is not perfect, and it is also unqualified. ”
Jiang Feng: ......
Wu Minqi: ......
They seem to know why Tong Deyan's interpersonal relationship is not very good.
Only Zang Mu, not forgetting his original intention, insisting on talking less, never talking more, using the least words, and getting the same amount of appearance fees.
"You are excellent and I am sure you will surprise us in the final. ”
Finally, Xu Cheng picked up the microphone.
As a business tycoon, a well-known food critic, and a demanding foodie the older he gets, everyone wants to know what he will say.
"I only have one question, how did you do it?" Xu Cheng looked at Gu Li.
The director cut the camera to the audience in time, and the staff trotted to the kitchen station to give Gul the microphone.
"Practice. Gulee said.
"Master taught me this dish twelve years ago, when I didn't know enough and didn't learn it. In the nine years that Master has been gone, I have gone to work an hour earlier and left work an hour late, and I have done the golden silk siu mai and the ruyi roll twice a day, 730 times a year, and I have done it nearly 7,000 times in the past nine years. ”
"It's a dim sum that Master has worked so hard to restore, and I don't want it to be lost. ”
There is no genius in this world, only sweat.
The audience responded with the warmest applause.
Tong Deyan looked at Pei Shenghua, whose face was full of relief and envy, and said, "What's the matter, envy?"
"Don't you envy?" Pei Shenghua asked rhetorically.
Tong Deyan didn't answer him, just muttered, "Old Tan has accepted a good apprentice." ”
Although the host's little sister regretted that Zhang Guanghang was eliminated, and he would not be seen in the next game, she still had a sweet smile on her face and said on stage: "The second group of contestants below is Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi, Jiang Feng's contestant is a silk yam, Wu Minqi's contestant's contest dish is sprouts and meat, the kitchen table has been cleaned up, please come to the stage now, the game will start in three minutes." ”
Zhang Guanghang and Gu Li walked towards the rest area.
Zhang Guanghang walked behind Gu Li and said softly, "You are very strong. ”
"Thank you. ”
Jiang Feng got up and took a deep breath, feeling like he was going to the execution ground.
He just sat in place and thought about it for a long time, and decided that it would be more secure to use Jiang Huiqin's method to make silk yams, after all, the instability of sugar in the oil bottom is too high, and the consequences once the car rolls over, the consequences are unimaginable.
A Voldemort-type player like him, who must fight until the end and never confront others, has always sought stability first and then other things.
The two of them walked towards the kitchen table together.
Separation is about to be made.
"Jiang Feng. Wu Minqi said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"I like you. ”
