Chapter 289: Roasted Garlic Salad
After eating a meal of noodles, everyone shouted refreshment, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads and bodies, as if the fatigue that went deep into the bone marrow after a long journey also came out with sweat.
"It would be better if there was chili oil and old vinegar, and then garlic, then there would be no need. Bao Ruwen clicked his lips and said as he walked out.
After dinner, there was no business in the restaurant, Jill was excited to accompany them to walk around the local area, not far from everyone, and listened to them all the time, especially what Su Ruotong and Bao Ruwen said, he asked Charlie to translate to him, and immediately poked Charlie and asked Charlie to translate Bao Ruwen's words.
Charlie was helpless for a while, and described Bao Ruwen's words to him in French.
"Garlic and a mixture of chili peppers and oil? Oh, I've heard of vinegar, it's an important part of oriental cuisine." ”
Seeing that Jill was seriously about to take a pen and write down these things, Charlie immediately stopped him: "Don't remember this, it's just Charlie's taste and preference, I think it's good to eat without that." After all, most foreigners don't like Chinese hot and sour food, and when he first went to Huaxia, it took several years before he could barely eat them.
"Really? Are you sure? I think garlic is one of the most beautiful ingredients in the world! Oh, it's the same place in my heart as tomatoes......
"Really, I'm sure. "Charlie has a bit of a big head. Jill has seen the craftsmanship of Su Ruotong and Bao Ruwen, and has completely mythologized the two of them, Charlie couldn't help but think in his heart, if he was the one who cooked with Miss Su today, would Jill have to kneel down for him on the spot.
After a casual afternoon, Su Ruotong and they went back to the hotel, and Jill made an appointment with everyone enthusiastically, during this time he came to accompany them and take everyone to have a good time in Lyon.
Charlie also let him go, if he can accompany Miss Su to be happy, Miss Su will be happy and teach him two tricks, he will be inexhaustible in his life, and it is also his creation.
The next day, Su Ruotong and their local translator arrived, plus Lyonton, Jill's hometown is here, everyone had a lot of fun, not only visited the well-known attractions, but also came to those really good places that only locals know, and before they knew it, there were only three days before the game.
It was late that day, a group of people went back to the hotel with a smile, and when they arrived at the hall, they saw that there was a mess in the lobby, there were more than a dozen people sitting, their expressions were very bad, and there were security guards surrounding them, and the atmosphere was tense with each other.
Everyone has stayed in this hotel for so long, it feels great, whether it is the room or room service, they are very satisfied, what happened to these guests, and the hotel conflicted?
Suddenly, in the direction of the front desk, a man shouted in heavily accented English: "No, we just want to stay! You want us to go to the family hotel next door? This is impossible!"
It was supposed to move in, but there was no room! Although it is an international competition, the organizer can not cover it, only a self-help fund will be issued, which will be arranged by the contestants themselves, as long as it is not too extravagant, the money will travel while participating in the competition, which is absolutely no problem. If there are players who save more, the rest of the money may be able to add a start-up capital to the expansion of their restaurant after returning home.
This hotel was carefully selected by Tao Xian for them in advance, and it is very close to the competition address announced by the organizer, and it is also the best condition. Tao Xian can find out that this place is good, and others can also find out, as the game time is approaching, this hotel has been full recently.
The man at the front desk waved his arms, indignant, and looked like he would make trouble if he didn't let him check in, and more than a dozen people in the hall also looked at him, as if as long as the man said the code, they would rush over to make trouble together, no wonder the security guards cared so much.
Bao Ruwen didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and said next to him: "Yo, look at this dress, it doesn't look like a player from our Huaxia Kingdom, is it a stick man and a neon man next to him?"
Su Ruotong never squinted when she walked, a little bit of indecent disdain, she only looked at it after listening to Bao Ruwen's words, and felt that what Bao Ruwen said was right, even if these people are not young, they are also dressed very finely, and their hairstyles are a little trendy, two of them are forty or fifty years old, and they are also dyed with yellow hair and oblique bangs, and there is always a sense of disobedience when they look at it.
"It's not like a cooking competition, it's like a washing, cutting and blowing competition. Li Weining shook his wit and said with a smile.
The girl at the front desk was blocked by the man all the time, a little scared, her eyes wandered around, looking for someone who could save herself, and finally fell on Su Ruotong and her party, she almost burst into tears: "Sir, look, a few guests over there are Asians, and our hotel is really not racist as you said." "If this high hat is buttoned down, and it is sent to the newspaper as the man yelled at her, whether she did it or not, her job will be finished, and the most troublesome thing is that it will definitely be approached by some radical black youth, and it will be difficult to describe what happened to her.
In order to be able to stay here, the man also fought hard, and he didn't know how much he said about the threat, he turned his face to look at Su Ruotong and them, and then, his back froze.
The beautiful girl who is particularly conspicuous in the crowd is not the girl named Sue?
The man who was roaring actually calmed down all of a sudden, and he glanced at the front lady contemptuously: "There is no racial discrimination in your hotel, but it is only worthy of letting the China pig stay, and where there are them, we will not stain our feet." When he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
I haven't seen her for several years, Su Ruotong didn't recognize Xiaolin Monday at all, she is a person, basically she doesn't save overnight revenge, she will take revenge on the same day, and if she doesn't take revenge, she didn't plan to revenge it from the beginning. Xiao Lin was miserable enough by her in New York on Monday, and she didn't reassure this person afterwards, and he has gained some fortune in the past few years, and he has changed his hairstyle, so it's strange that Su Ruotong can recognize it.
Xiao Lin shouted on Monday to let those neon people go out with him, and there were immediately chefs in the team who were dissatisfied: "Xiao Lin-kun, we have investigated this hotel, it is the most suitable to stay, and the surrounding stores are also full, do we really want to go to a family hotel?"
Most of them didn't have a good opinion of Kobayashi Monday. Xiao Lin was too crazy on Monday, and he didn't look down on their own traditional cooking skills of the Yamato nation, and the meals he cooked were basically Western-style, and he didn't get a good ranking in the competition last year, and he refried the meat again this year. It's just that he has a year of experience in the competition, so he asked him to be the team leader, but I didn't expect this experience to be useless at all, and I couldn't even find a hotel to live in.
"There is no room anymore, I have been negotiating for a long time, haven't you seen my efforts?" Xiao Lin's eyes widened on Monday, he didn't want to be a team leader!
The last group of people couldn't help it, and they dragged on a long line and got outside.
Looking up at the hotel behind him, Xiao Lin showed a contemptuous expression on the corner of his mouth. This year, he finally waited for the Huaxia girl named Su, and he must repay all the humiliation he had to give back to her.
In the blink of an eye, it's the day before the competition, and all the chefs who have already arrived will go to the opening tea party, and after the event, they will receive their game admission cards, and watch the familiar venue, and draw lots to determine the group for tomorrow's competition.
This day is also the most chaotic, because it has the most people. After tomorrow's competition, half of the chefs will be eliminated. When the competition is about a week into the competition, there will only be eight chefs left, and the competition will be full of elimination, which shows how strong the competitiveness is in the early stage.
In the second group drawn by Su Ruotong, Li Weining is in the third group, Bao Ruwen and Li Hongxing are both in one group, and Charlie is in four groups, with different groups, competing in different competitions, and the remaining people in all groups will not converge until the third day.
There were as many as 1,000 chefs from all over the world, and in order not to be in a hurry, the next morning, a few people had a simple breakfast and walked to the stadium.
On the first day of the competition, Su Ruotong formed nearly 300 people, and rounded up to leave 100 people. The contest is about making a salad with designated vegetables.
Salad is not difficult, these chefs are all the world's top chefs, and the ingredients are all big road goods, but the more so, the more difficult it is to make a brilliant one, and some chefs unknowingly fall into the trap set by the competition, not to go off the rails, and deliberately make the so-called innovative salad that they are not good at, just to pursue the effect and make those ordinary salads that they usually make in the restaurant.
The former is not delicious, the latter is not creative, and when they are making it, the judges have already written down their names, and most of them will be eliminated when they are judged in the later stage.
There are so many contestants, not many can be remembered by the judges when they are on tour, and Su Ruotong is one of them.
She made a very beautiful salad, with a lot of roasted garlic, far away, the judges smelled the fragrant aroma of roasted garlic, when she got closer, Su Ruotong had already begun the final plating, she cleverly used salad dressing and leafy vegetables, and made the salad into a country cottage platter, and the surrounding leaves were stacked together, like a magic forest.
Who doesn't like such a salad?
In front of Su Ruotong, several people had already mixed salad and sent it up, thinking that they could win the favor of the judges with Kuaishou, but they didn't expect that the judges were not very enthusiastic. According to the previous experience of the judges, in the first competition, the fastest finished product is often not a good hand, there is so much time, it is not good to prepare well, to amaze them, but to take the crooked way of relying on time to win, this kind of chef, not worthy of respect.
It wasn't until Su Ruotong's roasted garlic salad was delivered that several judges' eyes lit up and they all sat up straight!
This dish looks very interesting, and it seems that there are still masters among the contestants in this year's competition.
