Stepping on the miso is a traditional Chinese craft, and if you exclude the disgusting ingredients, it is actually far better than today's machine-made sauce.

First of all, stepping on soybean sauce can fully squeeze out the moisture in the raw materials, but will not damage the structure of the raw materials.

This is far from being possible with the current machine-made sauce.

Secondly, experienced sauce makers can accurately distinguish the size and hardness of the sauce making ingredients by relying on the sensitive feeling of the soles of their feet, so as to exert force in a targeted manner, while the machine obviously does not have such experience.

In fact, it is not as disgusting as the layman thinks, the sauce maker must thoroughly wash his feet before going to his feet, not only can not have athlete's foot, calluses must be trimmed, and then sterilized with alcohol or high-purity liquor.

Veteran craftsmen have a lot of conscience and will not do anything that affects their reputation.

This traditional method must be used to make the best pickles,

This is also the reason why pickles in the seventies and eighties of the last century were particularly delicious, while now pickles are becoming more and more unpalatable.

I have to say that Cha Zaixi's kimchi reminded Zhou Dong of the taste of his childhood,

At the end of the last century, the pickles produced by the famous Wantong Pickle Factory in Chudu were still pickled with this traditional sauce, which was rich and salty, fragrant, and had a variety of indescribable flavors.

Back then, there was really a plate of Wantong pickles, and you could eat two steamed buns and a bowl of rice, which was more enjoyable than eating any delicacies from the mountains and seas.

In Zhou Dong's eyes, Smecta's kimchi is pickles, which has nothing to do with 'kimchi', and the authentic kimchi is in Huaxia Sichuan Province, when does it have anything to do with the sticks?

Che Zaixi's face changed slightly, nodded and said: "Although my compatriots always like to bully other cultures, as an excellent chef, I must admit that this traditional method of making sauce was pioneered in China.

But what about the first initiative?

Can you still find traditional miso in Huaxia today?

The kimchi you eat smells of unpleasant oil, right?

Last month, I went to the Tojude Roast Duck restaurant in Kyoto, and found that even the sauce they use is actually mechanical, which is your century-old restaurant.

I admit that you have a long history and a splendid culture in China.

But I wonder why you should abandon your own culture and inventions, and it is the Europeans, the Americans, us, and even the despicable islanders who pass them on?"

"Your words are too absolute, there are chefs who adhere to traditional culture in Huaxia, and I have eaten better sauce than yours. ”

Zhou Dong shook his head and continued to pick up a pickled radish, biting it rattling.

With rice, Zhou Dong ate it very sweetly.

Che Zaixi smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit, Zhou Dong came all the way from the European division, but he didn't give out a single point of three points in his hand.

Now that he is eating so sweetly here, if these three points are not left, I am afraid that this Huaxia noodle king will have no face, right?

Although there are many famous Chinese chefs who came to Xiangjiang this time, according to the information he has, among these Chinese chefs, Zhou Dong has the highest position.

After all, many famous grandmasters who sit in one place, such as Wang Haibin, the master of Lu cuisine, will not come to participate in this kind of competition at all.

Therefore, most of the Chinese chefs participating in the competition are some special technicians, relatively young, except for Yan Yi from Hangzhou's 'Lingyin Temple', who is a well-known special one, basically no one can compete with Zhou Dong,

Zhou Dong's vote is likely to lead to many Chinese chefs, which is what he likes to see the most.

Zhou Aiguo ate faster than the teacher, and after eating up the rice and kimchi in front of him, he was even a little unsatisfied.

But the prince is the prince, at least he is still reserved, while swallowing saliva secretly, he nodded slightly while learning from Zhou Dong, but he is no longer the previous pig brother.

Zhou Dong gently put down his chopsticks, took a score card and put it on Che Zaixi's booth: "This point is for you rice and traditional sauce from Huaxia, but I won't give you the remaining two points." ”

"Why?"

Cha Jae-hee feels that she has been treated unfairly.

"Because you're so proud......"

Zhou Dong glanced at Che Zaixi lightly: "I heard that Master Che is not only known as the 'Kimchi King', but also a master of knife skills.

As far as I know, there are some kinds of kimchi that are extremely good at knife skills.

It's a pity that all these pickles you put on the booth have nothing to do with knife skills.

In such an important qualifying stage, Master Che actually chose to hide his secrets, which is obviously to underestimate the judges and opponents.

Compared to you, the German pig king seems to be cuter......

Patriotic, let's go. ”

"Yes, teacher. ”

Zhou Aiguo followed behind Zhou Dong, raised his head proudly, and threw out a split card like Zhou Dong: "Well, compared to you, the German pig king is cuter." ”

"Patriotic, if you learn from me next time, I will expel you from the division!"

The efficiency of the organizing committee of the competition was very high, and the results of the first three days of preliminaries were quickly announced on the official website.

A total of 12 lucky winners from the Additional Zone, Australia, the United States and Africa Division, the European Division, and the Smecta Division won the Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards in this Division respectively.

The gold medal in the additional area was actually taken away by Ah San,

Huailiang people look down on curry, an overly domineering spice, but they can't stop those fanatical curry lovers from scrambling to praise Ah San's stinky feet.

After all, even in Xiangjiang, curry is a delicacy that many people love.

The gold medal in the European zone was a bit of a surprise and did not fall into the hands of Pig King Ham.

However, it is not unusual for Italian Arecio to win the gold medal in the division.

At least in Huailiangren's opinion, he and Ham are already in the middle of the match, and who can win the gold medal depends entirely on on-the-spot performance and luck.

What's more, Arecio is an old white face, and he is obviously more popular with the female judges.

Cha Zaixi made a challenging declaration after winning the gold medal in the competition: "I hope to have the opportunity to see the means of the Chinese noodle king in the final.

I will let him understand that the pride of Smecta people is always based on strength!"

This guy hasn't forgotten Zhou Dong's comments on him, and he has been haunted by it.

Zhou Dong is no longer low-key this time, when the beautiful Xiangjiang female reporter asked him what he thought of Che Zaixi's declaration, the young Huaxia noodle king just smiled faintly: "Oh, my student Zhou Aiguo will also participate in the finals if there is no accident,

If Master Che wants to meet me in the finals, please pass my student first......"

Sure enough, the little prince of Africa, Zhou Aiguo, became the gold medal winner of the Australian, American and African divisions.

According to the competition system, a total of nine players from the top three players in the island country, Smecta country and the European region will compete in a nine-in-three competition.

The top three will qualify for the finals, with the fourth place going to compete with the first place in the play-off zone and the Australia-US-Africa mixed competition for the last spot to qualify for the finals.

Zhou Dong This is equivalent to saying that my student Zhou Aiguo will definitely become the first place in the additional area and the Australian-American-African region.

By the way, he also stepped on Che Zaixi, suggesting that Che Zaixi missed the top three in the mixed competition of the island country, Smecta country and the European region.

In the end, the dignified Smecta Kimchi King had to compete bitterly with chefs from 'backward areas' for the last qualifying spot.

High-profile, and venomous enough.

The Huailiang people who heard the news were so happy that they even opened a bottle of 82 Lafite, a private collection brought from Europe: "Lao Zhou, well said, well done!"

As I said a long time ago, you don't have to be polite to Smecta people.

Haha, I thought I was very good, but I didn't expect you to be better than me?

What's more, if Cha Jae-hee wants to enter the finals, I'm afraid he has to pass your student first?

Lao Zhou, your hatred is really beautiful, and now the Smecta people have exploded, and tomorrow's headline hot search may be yours......"

"Asi, what kind of person is this Zhou Dong, he is too rampant, he must be punished!"

"To protest under his Weibo, he must understand how stupid it is to anger the Great Smecta Kingdom!"

"He'll be punished, this humble Chinese man!

The angry Smecta people were furious, but when they searched for Xinlang and Tengxun's Weibo, they found that Zhou Dong had not opened Weibo!

I can't find QQ, I can't find the phone, let alone the prestige public account or something!

So the Smecta crowd, who had nowhere to vent their anger, could only vent their anger to the organizing committee of the competition, and the official homepage of the Xiangjiang Food Contest was directly hacked by the Smecta hacker, and there was also a sentence that could definitely kill the 'car master'.

"Only this kind of garbage competition will there be garbage players like Zhou Dong!

The Chinese people are all rubbish! The people of Xiangjiang are also in favor of the Che Master's withdrawal from this kind of third-rate competition!"

Hearing this, Che Zaixi suddenly had a black line on his face, these sand sculpture compatriots are simply not enough to succeed and more than to lose, but they can kill him!

***

"I can't imagine it, Brother Zhou, you actually have such a high-profile time?"

Standing in his hilltop villa, Zhu Yanping held a glass of red wine in his hand, looking at the famous Victoria Bay in the distance through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, his eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth flashed a smile.

After seeing what Zhou Dong said to reporters on the news, the Xiangjiang tycoon has been laughing, and he has not completely stopped until now.

He was so happy today.

If Zhou Dong was a young man he admired before, today he has to add the word 'value'.

This young Zhou brother finally understands how to use the rules to clear the way for himself, and he is still self-taught.

"Brother Zhou, Chef Huai, and Lu Anvil, sit ......"

Zhu Yanping warmly greeted the guests and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou is going to participate in the competition tomorrow, I shouldn't have bothered originally.

But it's so happy, and I can't help it, an old fellow.

Thinking that you are going to eat anyway, why don't you all eat together, please don't be restrained, you chefs can just help me evaluate my chef skills?"

Restraint? He was thinking too much.

Zhou Dong and him are old acquaintances, and they may have been a little restrained at first, but now they have long been let go.

Huai Liang and Lu Luxin never knew what restraint was.

One is a strange woman who has seen countless riches, and the other is a strange woman with low emotional intelligence and no one in her eyes, the two of them didn't eat a few bites, but they said something that made the chef of the Zhu family extremely annoyed if he heard it.

In the end, even Zhu Yanping couldn't listen to it a little, and coughed lightly twice: "Brother Zhou, when did you carefully study the rules of the game?"

Zhou Dong chuckled: "That is, the night before yesterday, I flipped through it without anything." ”

Zhu Yanping laughed: "Just flip through it, there is such a change, the little brother is amazing!"

Do you know that after you announced your mentor-apprentice relationship with Zhou Aiguo, if he can really enter the finals as you said,

So when the lottery is drawn, you and him must not meet?

If he draws you or you draw him, you can draw lots again, which means that both you and him have two chances!

And once he enters the finals, this is the first time that there is a 'master-apprentice competition' in the Heung Kong International Culinary Competition, and both the world culinary community and the organizing committee of the competition are happy to see it.

This is tantamount to invisibly, both of you masters and apprentices have received invisible bonus points, I know that with your cooking skills, these are naturally not rare, but for Zhou Aiguo, it is different......"

"Old Zhou, it turns out that you made this idea? ”

Huai Liangren couldn't help but praise: "It seems that I have more hope to meet you in the finals, and it is worth our toast for this!"

Whether it is Zhu Yanping or Huai Liangren, there is no worry about whether Zhou Dong can enter the finals, as if he will enter the finals.

"It's as if the gold and silver awards are in your pocket, Lao Huai, isn't that good?"

"What's wrong with this, it should be like this! Old Zhou, didn't you suddenly become modest, isn't this like you?"

Zhou Dong shook his head: "There is no such thing. ”

"Haha, I'm even happier if Brother Zhou can have such confidence, but I still can't take it lightly......"

Zhu Yanping said: "Brother Zhou, do you know why Chinese cuisine is known as the world's first, and you can enjoy two finals at each Xiangjiang Conference.

Even higher than the island countries, Smecta countries, France and Italy, which are also gastronomic powerhouses,

But there is only one time in history when a Chinese chef wins the Supreme Gold Award?"

Zhou Dong frowned and said, "I'm also wondering, why did this result happen?"

Even gastronomic powerhouses such as the island nation of Smecta and European countries will need to play a mixed match after the qualifiers to determine the place to qualify for the finals.

However, because of its long history of gastronomy and its pivotal position in the world culinary industry, and the fact that the Xiangjiang Food Competition is held on its own territory after all, it has the advantage of being the 'host', so the gold and silver award winners in the Huaxia Division can directly advance to the finals.

Even if there are criticisms in other regions and countries, the organizing committees of the previous competitions have also ignored them.

Besides, even the proud French rooster and the island dwarf have to admit that a lot of their food culture is derived from China!

Not to mention that Italian pizza is a Chinese pie at all, it is obviously a semi-finished product, and it has actually become a national dish!

Competing with their own 'teachers', these food 'powerhouses' really lack some confidence.

Zhou Dong didn't understand, it was clear that the Chinese chef occupied the right time and place in the Xiangjiang International Food Competition, but the historical results were a mess, what is the reason for this?

Zhu Yanping sighed: "The reason is actually in the judges, and it is also the reason for my Huaxia judges!"

Zhou Dong Daqi: "There is still such a thing?"
