Chapter 121: Singing all the way
"Snowy and frozen, well, yes, a good name, I made a note of it. After speaking, the questioner glanced at Qian Shi with a smile, quite satisfied, and the judges sitting around him were the same, as if the previous gloom had also been swept away because of this dish, and it was radiant again.
Qian Shi bowed to the adults of the referee team and then walked out, and at the same time showed a gentle smile to the surrounding stands, and then the back of a young man disappeared from everyone's sight, although Qian Shi did not cause a sensation at the moment, but it also attracted the attention of many people, after all, this special dish is also relatively rare.
Three different competition venues, are carried out at the same time, one dish after another is also in front of the judges, each of the apprentices who presented the dishes are nervous, their eyes are full of expectations, in addition to Qian Shi, the other competition area also has a lot of excellent cooking apprentices, which attracted the unanimous affirmation of the judges.
And the pearl begonia Mu Fei has attracted the attention of many people, a garlic fried meat is also praised by the judges again and again, the food is clean, and even one person danced on the spot, sang loudly, and thoroughly expressed the deliciousness of this dish through the reaction state of the scene.
Qian Shi is already behind, there are already many apprentices who have finished the competition before him, of course, it is inevitable to eliminate some people, and they also met with Bai Yiyi and others in the apprentice lounge, and they passed smoothly without any accidents, Li Cai and Sun Jiuwei have been discussing there non-stop, and they are quite interested.
Then they all flocked to Qian Shi's side, after all, Qian Shi came back too late, when they started to enter, Qian Shi came late, and they were extremely curious about Qian Shi's whereabouts, as well as the dishes, and later heard that Qian Shi also won the unanimous approval and appreciation of the judges, and was even more puzzled.
Bai Yiyi was the first to ask beside Qian Shi: "Qian Shi, where have you been? β
Sun Jiuwei and Li Cai also squeezed over: "Yes, Qian Shi, what kind of auxiliary ingredients are there, so troublesome, even in Dongpo City?"
Qian Shi looked at himself surrounded by a group, scratched his head and explained: "I just went to find a very ordinary ingredient, liquid ice, which is in the Dade Mountain near Dongpo City, because it is relatively difficult to obtain and difficult to store, it took so much time." β
Bai Yijiao said angrily: "You didn't call me, you went for so long, it's true." β
Qian Shi smiled: "I didn't expect it to take so much time, I really almost missed the time for the competition, but I was lucky to catch up on time." β
Sun Jiuwei asked curiously at this time: "Liquid Bing, did you use him to make cold dishes for appetizers?" It's really different, hurry up and tell us about it." β
And Qian Shi also told his original dish in detail with a few people, and the combination of methods and ingredients attracted Sun Jiuwei to yearn for a while, and he kept smashing his mouth, and his saliva was flowing out, and then he told Qian Shi with a solemn expression, and when the competition was over, he must make it for him to taste, which made everyone speechless for a while.
Time is very urgent, there is not so much time for everyone to rest and adjust, Qian Shi and a few people also heard Guo Yang's notification instruction again after taking a break for a while, all the apprentices and disciples are about to start the second round of the general test competition, and through the large screen information of fluorescent stone, the data is also displayed, all the apprentices who participated in the first round of the competition have a total of 683 people, it can be said that there are nearly 700 apprentices, and now the number of people left is 500, and the proportion of Zuixianlou and Pearl Begonia is about the same.
After three rounds of general testing, there are only 300 places, which can be described as extremely intense, and it will be more difficult to move forward, and the number of places is getting smaller and smaller.
The second round is no different from before, it is also in the treasure trove of ingredients to draw lots, and then make dishes, but this time there is no two-day preparation time, start immediately, this is the biggest difference, it is completely dependent on the scene to play, many ingredients are not common, if you can't make a dish that meets the extracted ingredients, then you will face elimination, the judges here are not experts, as long as the taste of the drip, you can completely judge the quality of a dish.
And this time Qian Shi's luck is okay, not in the extraction of strange ingredients like water rhyme fruit, but foie gras, Qian Shi just thought about it a little bit to think of its method, this kind of ingredient is very delicious, in the northern region is also more common, and there is also the effect of blood nourishment, the method is also varied, in addition to the northern region foie gras and caviar, truffle and called the three major delicacies of the northern region, it is enough to explain the status of this ingredient.
However, what Qian Shi is now holding in his hand is not the best foie gras, it can only be said to be medium, if it is the foie gras of the Chisha lion-headed goose, which is a monster, it is a different matter, it is absolutely priceless and hard to find, and it is possible to auction it in the auction, but although the ingredients are different, the craftsmanship is also more important, which is also the strength of the chef, which can turn decay into magic!
The ingredients of this foie gras are usually fried in sauce and boiled as the first choice, which can make the foie gras more flavorful, soft and tender, with excellent taste, and it is also very advantageous in the field, because the dishes with strong flavor will always make people have a preconceived feeling, impact people's taste buds, and ignore the shortcomings in the dishes, but Qian Shi does not want to use this cooking method.
Because the ingredients and seasoning ingredients in his hands at the moment are not very suitable, if you want to do it may be a little poor, this second round of ingredients draw is too sudden, many people are focusing on the first round, a lot of things prepared are also for the previous ingredients, it will not be too complicated, and because the general cooking conference will not provide the apprentices with all kinds of complete ingredients and seasoning ingredients, all of them must be prepared by themselves, it should also be a basic test, the chef must be able to make correct judgments on all kinds of ingredients, how to matchγ
At this moment, Qian Shi even suspected that the previous two-day rest was a trap, draw lots in advance, and there was enough time to let all the apprentices focus on the first round of the general test, and then come by surprise, the second round suddenly changed the ingredients, and immediately conducted the dish competition.
There are several kinds of wine in the ingredients prepared by Qian Shi before, one is for the dishes frozen in the snow before, and the other is because of the culinary inheritance of Zuixianlou, Qian Shi has learned a lot of wine cooking practices before, and knows that there are endless mysteries, but there are few shots, and this cooking conference is an opportunity.
Qian Shi now has several kinds of wine in the food box, and there is one of them is very suitable for this foie gras ingredients, what Qian Shi has to do is red wine foie gras, through the existing several fruit ingredients in the hand to match, plus the pickling of red wine, so that the foie gras to the extreme, with lotus root, glutinous rice flour, will definitely make this red wine foie gras more tender, refreshing, smooth!
With fresh and excellent ingredients foie gras, Qian Shi is very fast this time, and it will not be as energy-consuming as the previous snowy ice, after everything is ready, Qian Shi also moved in front of the kitchen board, the technique is skillful, through the operation of the power of cultivation, the ingredients are extremely handy in Qian Shi's hands.
A large amount of spiritual power is poured into the kitchen knife, so that it produces a blazing high temperature, and the fire cloud knife method of Zuixianlou is also a shot, while slicing the foie gras, it is to make it have a medium-rare cook, and directly start cooking at the freshest moment of the ingredients, including the process of processing the ingredients, which can not only make the foie gras taste better and not lose the taste, but also make it faster to cook.
Because there is no need to carve the ingredients laboriously, this red wine foie gras is also made very quickly, all kinds of seasoning into the pot, less than half an hour of work is completed, plump and fragrant, delicate and silky, it is really extremely tempting, it is salivating when you look at it, and it is more exquisite when placed in a unique jade plate.
The competition of the general test is naturally not a problem for Qian Shi, before entering the Zuixian Building, he has made countless dishes, and now it is even more different from the past, the red wine foie gras has no suspense, and once again it has been recognized by all the judges of the cutting troupe, and it has passed smoothly, and one person described that this dish is simply "the fragrant kiss of the lover in your dreams", and the wonderful taste is infinitely reverie.
With the end of the second round of the general examination, naturally some apprentices left forever, bidding farewell to the field of the cooking competition, and the last round of the general examination was also carried out directly, today's schedule is to determine the quota of the general examination, and the audience also ignited the atmosphere in the field again, food singing and dancing, this cooking conference has gradually entered the most exciting moment.
And the third round of the general test is indeed as Bai Yiyi guessed before, the way of the competition is really changed, all the apprentices are randomly disrupted, grouped, five people in a group, five people use the same kind of ingredients, make a dish, take the top three, and the last two will be eliminated directly, which makes the competition even more miserable, if you don't show some real skills, then it is very likely that others will be squeezed out.
With exactly the same ingredients, it is very good to compare, a group of five, as long as a little taste can immediately distinguish the good from the bad, this is also a very test of people, before if there are the advantages and disadvantages of the ingredients, then now there is no at all, can only be distinguished by cooking different dishes and cooking skills, so that the ingredients become delicious dishes.
Due to the fact that there are fewer people, and it is a group of five people, the allocated time is not very long, all the apprentice disciples are divided into different areas under the arrangement of the referee, although they do not know each other's distribution, but the audience from the stands can see it very clearly, at this moment Qian Shi is already standing in the temporary kitchen in the field.
