Kyoto, China, XX Assembly Hall.

At this moment, in the largest dining hall of the XX Great Hall, there are hundreds of tables set up, there are all kinds of drinks on the table, and the service staff shuttles back and forth, but there is not a single dish appearing.

At the same time, the political and industrial people who are mainly businessmen, the chefs and grandmasters of Xingu Qinxing led by Hu Shenchu and Cai Pinlong, the famous chefs of major restaurants and restaurants in China, the gourmets led by Cai Chongjiu and Cai Bo, the heads and brains of the Chinese Culinary Food Association and provincial associations, the news media who are afraid that the world is not lively, and the famous project judges of the food industry in various countries sit at the dining tables, and they are all together, which is extremely lively.

It's really a foodie, and there are gourmets coming and going.

The scene is a momentary prosperity, there is no ancient, and I don't know if there will be anyone in the future.

Chinese cuisine has been unique in the world and has been famous for a long time, but there has never been a recognized national dish, which is nothing more than the lack of a chef with enough prestige to be admired by the diligent people to come forward to determine the national dish.

Even the 'Divine Pot Heroes' and 'Eight Doors Divine Chef' of the year have always taken this last step.

Until Zhou Dong was born, Guangyao was diligent, in just two years, from an intern, to an international gold medal winner, a diligent master, and a god chef, he successively accepted two major god chefs as disciples, became the chief judge of the special first-class chef promotion test, and finally even subdued Cai Pinlong, the eight-door god chef, so that this notoriously difficult old guy was also convinced.

Coupled with various traditional media and the network power represented by the dragon god, a diligent master and a god chef are highly praised, the name of the Chinese kitchen god has been like an iceberg under the sea to show a corner, just wait for the national cuisine to be certain, it will be confirmed.

Although the masters of the various cuisines in the Great Hall are all worried at the moment, and they don't know if their cuisine can benefit from Zhou Dong's determination of the national cuisine, none of them are unconvinced, and there will be no one like Cai Pinlong who will challenge.

It's just that Chef Zhou wants to decide which cuisine is the national cuisine? He didn't reveal the slightest rumor beforehand, and everyone was extremely curious.

Even a heavyweight like Shang Lao couldn't help but whisper to the people around him and gossip on his face.

The grandmasters representing the major cuisines have changed from speculation at the beginning to arguments, and they are all red-faced.

In the Great Hall, all kinds of voices grew louder and louder, and the hum was incessant.

It wasn't until 10 o'clock in the morning that Zhou Dong, who was wearing a white chef's uniform, walked out slowly and came to the kitchen counter prepared in advance.

At the same time, a group of kitchen workers carried out more than 70 woks, dozens of huge steamers, soup pots, and various vegetables, meat and other ingredients.

People from all walks of life in the audience and people in the diligent line looked at each other, Zhou Dong had been keeping it secret before, that is, he refused to say what the national dish was to be determined in public, they could only judge it by the kitchenware and ingredients used, but the number of kitchenware was too amazing, right?

There are more than 70 woks alone, as well as a large number of steamers and soup pots, and a lot of various ingredients are piled up.

Is this the national dish decided on the spot, or is it the cook in the big canteen who prepares the meal?

Zhou Dong smiled slightly, and made a downward posture with his hands: "Everyone, be quiet."

The determination of the Chinese national cuisine makes me very troubled, the eight major cuisines of China, hundreds of small cuisines, whoever picks no one seems to offend people. ”

Everyone in the audience immediately burst into laughter, Zhou Dong said that this is the truth, this is a job that offends people.

"So, I came up with a solution. ”

Zhou Dong also smiled: "Why don't I choose from any cuisine, and create a food that contains the essence of each cuisine, Chinese regional characteristics, and is inseparable from the people, and I feel that it can be a national dish!"

This dish is both a dish and a meal, and it has a nice name, which is called 'If the people have food, the country will be proud'!"

"If the people have food, how proud is the country?

Okay, good name, it seems that my old man really didn't see the wrong person. ”

The merchant in the main seat nodded again and again, looking at Zhou Dong with a relieved expression on his face. Regardless of ancient or modern, the country is people-oriented, and the people take food as the sky! When the common people are full, this country and this genius can be stable and prosperous, and they can be proud and colorful.

Shang Qingxiong followed with a smile: "That is, can the person I recommend to my grandfather be wrong?"

Shang Lao laughed: "You kid has made a contribution this time, not bad!"

While everyone was talking, more than a dozen super-large basins with a diameter of about two meters and a depth of nearly five feet were placed in the makeshift kitchen area on the table, and dozens of kitchen workers poured bags of rice into the basin under the greeting of Zhou Aiguo and the Su brothers.

When the raw rice is poured into the basin, the bursts of rice fragrance will come to the nose, and there are many connoisseurs present, from the rice fragrance, you can judge that although these rice are of the highest quality, they are all available in the market.

Shang Lao was slightly stunned, a little strange why Zhou Dong got so much rice, and he didn't use the 'dark clouds chasing snow' cultivated by Sister Valley, he was relieved when he thought about it, after all, this is a national dish, a dish that can represent a country, if you still want to use the best rice like 'dark clouds chasing snow', it will lose its 'universality', and it will become a top delicacy that can only be enjoyed by dignitaries.

However, some diligent people in the audience were puzzled, and some people couldn't help but ask: "Chef Zhou, shouldn't your national dish be fried rice?"

This also ...... This is too ordinary, and this fried rice is not a dish?"

Zhou Dong smiled slightly: "You guessed right, it is fried rice, but it is by no means ordinary fried rice, and you will naturally understand after two hours." ”

Dong actually smiled and said: "Everyone who asked the question just now is confused, you need to know that the so-called 'national dish' is originally a broad concept, not a narrow dish, otherwise Russian borscht is obviously a soup, why will it become a national dish?"

It is nothing more than because borscht is not only unique and delicious, but also an indispensable table delicacy for Russians, and the top Russian caviar cannot become a national dish, precisely because it is not something that everyone can eat casually. ”

"That is, how can the fried rice made by my master be comparable to ordinary fried rice?

You just wait quietly for food one by one, how can there be so many problems?"

Shi Buyu was very dissatisfied, one by one they are still diligent masters, and they actually look down on fried rice? It's not that my old man looks down on you, when it comes to fried rice, in addition to those few people present, how many people can make qualified fried rice? I really think it's very simple?

At this moment, more than a dozen basins have been filled with more than half a basin of rice, and after the kitchen workers poured water into the hose, they evacuated one after another, and Zhou Dong rolled up his sleeves and began to wash rice.

The national cuisine pays attention to a 'universality', so he did not use the perfect or even legendary-level vegetable washing skills, but suppressed the skills at the master level and began to wash rice quickly.

More than a dozen large vats with a depth of five feet and a diameter of two meters have to be washed, even if more than a dozen cooks work together, they can be tired and half dead, but Zhou Dong washed it alone, but the speed was not slow at all.

I saw him in the more than a dozen basins between the front and back, left and right, his figure was fluttering, his pace was vigorous, and he was controlling the rice water in more than a dozen basins at the same time, and the water in each basin was exactly the same.

The rice milk was flooded, the rice grains gradually became crystal clear, and after changing the water three times, Zhou Aiguo and the Su brothers immediately called the kitchen workers to put the cleaned rice in the pot and steam!

Of course, the best rice is not steamed, but the amount of rice needed at the moment is large, and it is used to make fried rice, and the requirements for the quality of rice can be slightly reduced, which can be regarded as reducing the difficulty of operating this national dish and making it easier to promote in the future.

After the rice was steamed in the basket, Zhou Dong greeted him, holding the 'chef Zhou's kitchen knife', and immediately a kitchen worker threw the various ingredients that had been cleaned and processed in advance to him.

In mid-air, I saw the knife light vertically and horizontally, as if there were a mountain of knives rising from the ground, all kinds of meat and vegetable ingredients were quickly divided into pieces, into pieces, into silk, into dipping, just like magic, with Zhou Dong's knife skills danced, have been put into dozens of soup pots, these soup pots opened, all kinds of aromas suddenly overflowed, but it was chicken soup, bone broth, beef soup, mutton soup, fish soup, tofu soup, and even sauerkraut soup, spicy vegetable soup, high braised soup!

There are more than 30 different types of soups!

I wipe !!

Can come here to watch Zhou Dong's determination of the national cuisine, which one is not the big bull in the area? Just by the nose, you can quickly distinguish the taste of various broths, and when you can figure out the type of soup, one by one, you will be confused on the spot, and make a fried rice, when do you need so much soup?

At this time, all kinds of ingredients have been divided by Zhou Dong and fallen into different soup pots, Zhou Dong wiped his sweat and smiled: "What I am pursuing this time is big and complete, but since it is a national dish, we must first consider the difficulty of promotion, and I will naturally make this national dish into a teaching video in the future, for your reference, you can make a complete version like me, or you can make a simplified version, but it is not necessary to use so many kinds of stock every time." ”

Hearing this, the diligent masters in the audience breathed a sigh of relief, but they looked forward to this dish of 'the people have food, and the country is more proud'.

After all kinds of ingredients were put into the pot, Zhou Dong inspected the soup pots one by one, and the ingredients in each soup pot were different, so some were cooked on high heat, some were simmered on low heat, and all kinds of civil and military fire changes were taught to the three disciples and some excellent cooks one by one.

When he was busy at this point, he could take a break from his busy time, took the purple sand teapot from a kitchen worker, took a sip of it, and sat aside to rest for a while.

However, it has just been less than ten minutes off, and the first batch of steamed rice on the steamer has reached the heat, this time Zhou Dong does not have to do it himself, he has Zhou Aiguo and they beckoned the kitchen workers to put the rice out and let it cool, and then put it in a clean freezer to 'harden'.

At the same time, the second round of rice is steamed.

This time, he had to make too much fried rice, at least so that everyone present could eat a few bites, so the amount of rice was absolutely indispensable.

After silently calculating the time, Zhou Dong got up and said, "Stand up and pour the oil!"

More than 30 stoves were turned on at the same time, cold oil was poured into the pot, and more than 30 frying spoons were put into the pot and leaned against the wall of the pot.

The 'hard' rice in the freezer was also brought to the stove by the cooks.

While waiting for the oil to be hot, Zhou Dong walked quickly to the soup pots one by one and opened the lids in turn.

Green onions, ginger, eggs, and a variety of seasonings that are popular in different provinces and regions are all put on the table.

Zhou Dong hurried at his feet, walked to a wok, and did not need to look carefully to distinguish, directly used a frying spoon to pick up the required accessories, according to different heat conditions, more than 30 frying spoons flew in his hands in turn, and put the hard rice and the ingredients that had been cooked in each soup pot into the pot in turn.

"Zilala!"

The sound of fried rice sounded, Zhou Dong walked in more than 30 woks, his expression was leisurely, as if he was strolling in a leisurely garden, all kinds of frying, upside down, smooth, twisting, hooking fire, turning the pot, and showing it in an orderly manner, it was actually one person who controlled more than 30 furnaces and more than 30 woks at the same time!

The dining hall of the entire XX Great Hall was suddenly silent, and countless people opened their mouths and fell into a state of confusion, even Hu Shenchu and Cai Pinlong looked incredulous.

For ordinary chefs, one person controls two stove eyes is the basic skill.

When you reach the second and above, if you go all out, you can control four to eight stove eyes at the same time.

If you can control more than ten hearth eyes at the same time, that is the grandmaster level.

Huaxia God Chef, if you go all out, can control about fifteen stove eyes, and you can also ensure that the level of dishes is not lost!

can control more than 30 stove eyes at the same time like Zhou Dong, and the fried rice accessories on each stove are different, the ingredients are different, and the fried rice is different, and you have to see the stir-frying skills, I have never heard of it.

Sure enough, he is the only kitchen god in Huaxia, if anyone still has some questions about this before, they are all convinced at the moment!

In the huge kitchen area on the stage, Zhou Dong's figure was as fast as a phantom, and even so fast that the more than 30 frying spoons sometimes started spontaneously as if no one was controlling them, as if they had seen a ghost.

The sound of stir-frying lasted for seven or eight minutes, and I heard Zhou Dong shouting: "Plate!"

Suddenly, dozens of cooks lined up in groups of two, holding more than 30 oversized dinner plates with a diameter of half a meter, and walked in front of Zhou Dong.

"Keep up with me!"

Zhou Dong went down with a stir-fry spoon, took out a spoonful of fried rice from the first wok, put it on the plate, and followed to the second wok, and the chef holding the plate immediately followed......

As a result, the fried rice on the first plate gradually became richer, but it was a plate of assorted fried rice made from one or two spoonfuls of rice in each of the more than 30 woks.

After walking down, the first plate of fried rice was already on the table where Shang Lao was.

Then came the second trip, the second set.

It was too late, it was too fast, and after more than 30 oversized dinner plates were filled with fried rice, the rice in the 30 woks had bottomed out.

Zhou Dong greeted everyone, and after the 'guests' who were assigned to the fried rice first began to taste, they immediately began to stir-fry the second set of fried rice.

"It's!"

In addition to these chefs, there are also senior masters such as Dong Qishen and Yi Zhiyu at the table, representing the pinnacle of Chinese culinary cuisine.

But even they were shocked for a while.

On the oversized dinner plate, there is a rooster with its head and tail and west, looking at the world!

It is exactly what the map of Huaxia looks like.

Moreover, the chicken head, chicken tail, and chicken feather all have their own due colors, which are pieced together by the natural colors of various ingredients, but they seem to be natural and uningenious.

That's it, when Cai Pinlong took a chopstick fried rice from the position of the chicken head and sent it to his mouth, this proud person who had nothing to do for most of his life was silent for a long time before saying: "It's one place and one thing!"

It's just a bite of fried rice, but I ate the freshness of sauerkraut and white meat, the thickness of pork stewed vermicelli, and the special fresh fat taste of Songjiang carp?

But ......"

Hu Shenchu said with a smile: "But in the end, I have to admit that this is still a fried rice." Because those flavors with regional colors, although there are them, they are like the wind passing through the forest, and they are over after enjoying them, and they are clearly layered and never messed around.

At the end of the day, the unique texture of fried rice and the thick aroma of rice will still occupy our mouths.

This is indeed the most special fried rice I have ever tasted. ”

"I ate the feeling of grasping mutton at the back of the chicken, but after a slight smell, it was full of fragrance......

Yi Zhiyu stared at the stage with round eyes, and suddenly said loudly: "Those thirty pots of broth...... Got it, I got it!"

"It's really ingenious, the soup retains a special flavor in the rice, but because the rice is hard and is quickly stir-fried, it forms an isolation layer on the surface of the rice grains, and it will not be completely assimilated by these broths, so that on the basis of retaining the flavor of 'everywhere', it also retains the taste of fried rice!"

"Not only that, whether you eat from south to north, or from east to west, the flavors of various regions will always be completely combined by the aroma of rice in the end, and in the end there is only one taste and one sound left!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!

A plate of fried rice allows us to eat all the major cuisines in the north, south, east and west, but it is only the most common rice on the table of ordinary people!

This is the delicacy that deserves to become the national dish of China!

It is the national dish that is qualified to represent China!"

All kinds of discussions and praises resounded in the XX Great Hall, and finally converged into one voice.

"Today, we finally have our own national dish!

Today, we finally have the world's first kitchen god!"

"Master Zhou!"

"Chef Zhou!"
