Chapter 792: Mullet Roe Calling the Ocean
"A990?"
Zhao Qi came to the stage and put the two trays on the review table, and the female emcee said in surprise: "Did you serve two completely different food works in only one hour?"
"Pretty impressive!"
Listening to the female emcee's praise, the corners of Zhao Qi's mouth pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Actually, ......"
He was just about to open his mouth to explain, but unexpectedly, the examiner Mu Nanzhi waved his hand to block it.
Balding middle-aged gourmand with his hands crossed and chin resting slightly on the back of his hands, staring at the food on two trays with scrutinizing eyes.
"What's in there?"
Mu Nanzhi raised his hand and pointed to a plate on a tray.
This dinner plate, pure white, plain, with a layer of lid.
The three examiners present could clearly smell the smell of seafood pouring out from the gap in the lid.
Hearing this, Zhao Qi was stunned, and a trace of unspeakable surprise appeared in his eyes.
This plate is filled with his cooking works!
was noticed by the examiner for the first time, and Zhao Qi immediately understood that his cooking was better than the sealed pot next to him in terms of attractiveness.
"This is my workβ"
Zhao Qi smiled slightly, and the surprise in his eyes turned into strong confidence.
"Really?"
Mu Nanzhi nodded, and was about to reach out to remove the lid on the plate, but when he stretched out his hand, he suddenly realized that he was not the examiner.
However, Xu Liuyue, the chief examiner sitting beside her, suddenly lost her voice.
As soon as he thought of this, Mu Nanzhi glanced at it suspiciously, and found that Xu Liuyue raised his eyes and stared at a certain place in the venue, and he also followed to look over, and the figure of a young man who was facing away from the rostrum and choosing to leave quietly came into view.
Mu Nanzhi couldn't help laughing: "Chef Xu, you don't have to care, there are countless people who will hunt bleak exits every year, not everyone has a level of blockbuster." β
Xu Liuyue withdrew her gaze, her eyelashes trembled, and she smiled helplessly: "No." β
She didn't explain much, since she accepted the official invitation to become a hunting examiner, she had her own responsibilities on her shoulders, and it was impossible to really follow those star-chasing young ladies and scream to chase over to find idols to take photos.
Yes, Xu Liuyue was sure that she didn't recognize the wrong person, it was him......!
Click!
The lid of the Zhao period cooking plate was lifted.
What looks like a large dinner plate, with only one bowl of "granular noodles", is served in the center.
Compared with Yang Man's colorful childlike playfulness, Zhao Qi's cuisine is relatively simple, and only a fresh parsley leaf is used in the middle of the plate to decorate the plate, giving a little more greenery.
Xu Liuyue, who opened the lid, opened her eyes in surprise in the rushing seafood tide, "Seafood-flavored grain noodles?"
Zhao Qi used three small bowls to serve some food to each examiner, and each person served a few spoonfuls.
However, when the seemingly scarce grain noodles are served in a bowl, the taste that comes into the nose has an incredible depth.
Mu Nanzhi took half a bite with a spoon, and then said with a shocked face: "The style of Western food, the word 'fresh' is extremely prominent!"
The second male examiner, Chen Zhen, was chewing.
The boiled and softened granulated noodles are squeezed and ground by the teeth, constantly releasing a trace of strange taste.
The composition of the taste is complex.
The aroma of white wine, the taste of garlic, chili, parsley and other spices, but as Mu Nanzhi said, the flavor of seafood is the main theme, Chen Zhen ate a fresh soup made of clams, shrimp heads and shrimp shells.
The complex taste erupts in the mouth, but there is no clutter, on the contrary, it gives the three examiners a deep feeling.
That feels......
It's like being in the deep sea, swimming freely and unrestrained.
From this taste structure style, the examiner also ate Zhao Qi's personal cooking concept, and even more his kitchen heart.
Xu Liuyue ate the seafood granular noodles in the bowl little by little, and praised: "Many people don't like to eat shrimp heads, and they usually have to discard shrimp heads when eating shrimp, in fact, shrimp heads are very, very delicious, especially used to make soup, fresh and delicious!"
"However, since the shrimp head is an ingredient, there is a way to deal with it. She looked at Zhao Qi, "Your handling of shrimp shells and shrimp heads is very ingenious, first add shredded ginger and minced garlic and fry them with fat until golden brown, and then stop the fire with red oil." β
After that, the water is boiled together with the shrimp head and shell, and the water should be skimmed off after the water is boiled. β
"When the soup is thick and white boiled over high heat, remove the shrimp head and shell and throw them away, and then filter the soup clean, so that a pot of shrimp soup that can be described as an umami bomb is completed!"
After speaking, Xu Liuyue stopped with a smile.
Mu Nan's way: "Shrimp soup is one of them, and roasted clam juice is also a must, you have to say it!"
"Mullet roe!"
Chen Zhen continued: "I ate mullet roe!"
Zhao Qi replied very calmly: "Yes, when I decorate the plate, I deliberately use the local specialty mullet roe of Donggang, Baodao, take a piece, like grated cheese, and sprinkle some small particles as the final finishing step." β
Mullet roe, known as one of the world's three major delicacies by neon gold.
In fact, mullet roe is the eggs of female mullet, which are made through complex processes such as rinsing, salting, exposure and drying, and the production is scarce and therefore precious.
"The most classic way to eat mullet roe is to bake it and eat it directly. I borrowed this way of eating and grated mullet roe and mixed it with grain noodles. The sticky texture of the caviar and the boiled and softened pasta complement each other!"
"Secondly......" Zhao Qi's eyes suddenly burst out with a flash of confidence, "chewing mullet roe, the rich fishy smell of the fish roe, quickly spread to the mouth, and the shrimp soup and clam juice are integrated, and the three are combined to truly form the base of this 'seafood grain noodles'!"
"It can be said that mullet roe is the taste primer that calls the ocean!"
The applause spread from the examiner's seat to all directions.
The crowd applauded loudly.
"That's amazing!"
"Who is this young chef? The examiner actually commented on him for so long, taking up a lot of space!"
"In such a thousand-person audition stage, the longer you appear, doesn't it mean that you are better?"
When the examiners held up the sign of "may" in unison, there was a whisper below.
"Waitβ"
An anachronistic voice.
Zhao Qi saw that the examiner looked at him, so he had to point to another tray, "There is another cooking work here, which is presented by the A998 kitchen counter...... Uh, that guy is my friend?"
I used a questioning tone.
"A998 asked you to hand in your homework?"
The examiners looked at each other in surprise, including Xu Liuyue, all frowned, and their faces were filled with a subconscious disgust.
"A998 player, please come on stage!" Mu Nanzhi said coldly into the microphone.
There was silence.
The players waiting in line at the back for review, you look at me, I look at you, confused.
On such a big stage where you can hunt auditions, there are still people who choose not to brush a wave of presence in front of the camera and let friends submit their cooking works on their behalf?
It's a refreshing look.
Mu Nanzhi shouted a few more times, but no one in the audience responded, seeing this, the corners of Zhao Qi's mouth twitched, and he muttered in his heart: "That kid slipped away so fast......?
"We refuse to judge the unmastered. β
Chen Zhen said coldly.
The emcee of the field control hurriedly trotted over, bent down to carry the tray and throw it into a corner.
"Now that it's all on the table, let's take a look at the works, if it's good enough......"
The chief examiner, Xu Liuyue, waved her hand to stop the female emcee, with a strange excited smile on the corner of her mouth, holding the sealed crockpot on the tray with both hands, and shaking it curiously, "Is it poured out?"
She asked Zhao Qi with a slight smile.
Zhao Qi spread his hands dryly, "I don't know!"
"I guess it'......"
Xu Liuyue lifted the lid, didn't look closely, and hung the mouth of the jar on the porcelain bowl on the tray.
Airplanes!
Something rolled out and landed in the bowl.
The dazzling crystal light that erupted in an instant made the thousands of people in the hall silent.
