Chapter 62: Accidents?
γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Many chefs in the neighborhood were also full of surprise when they saw Hua Ji Tianyun's knife, they would never have imagined that the chef of the soy sauce duo would have real kung fu, and his knife skills were not worse than theirs.
But when they saw the dishes made by Hua Jitian, they breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just a cold dish, and it's hard to get ahead in this kind of unrestricted dish competition.
Young people are young people, they pretend to be forced if they have a little talent, and they deserve to die in the first round.
Hua Jitian made cooking oil and watched Pang Xuan blanch shredded potatoes.
The shredded potatoes were about to change color, and Hua Jitian roared softly: "Take it out, and pass it through the cold water three times." β
Pang Xuan hurriedly operated according to Hua Jitian's instructions, fished out the shredded potatoes with a grate, and passed the cold water three times to let the shredded potatoes cool down quickly.
"It seems a bit early. "Pang Xuan is also a good chef and has his own judgment.
"It's okay to look raw, but it's crispy, and it's a little different from what you do. "Flower pole heavenly way.
Pang Xuan nodded and quickly cooled the shredded potatoes with cold water, also to make the shredded potatoes more crispy.
Hua Jitian took the shredded potatoes from Pang Xuan's hand, drained the water, and began to mix.
Pour in the previously warmed cooking oil. The oil already has the flavor of seasoning and onion, ginger and garlic, and it smells very good.
Add one-third of a tablespoon of salt, a few drops of white vinegar, and half a tablespoon of sugar.
Stir well and add five drops of sesame oil.
Hua Jitian was methodical, and after finishing all this, he raised his hand to signal.
"Report to the judges, Chef Thirty-Eight, over. β
Pang Xuan was shocked: "I haven't put the taste very fresh yet." "Cold dishes don't have extremely fresh taste, what is it called, you know, the fastest seasoning used in the cold food department is extremely fresh.
"This cold shredded potato dish is not very fresh. "Flower pole heavenly way.
"Alas, I'll go to our head chef in the next round, you just go back to the antique shop, I won't send it. Pang Xuanqi's stomach hurt, and the fat all over his body began to shake again.
Can you not lose, not to mention the last one, or the first to finish, how anxious Hua Jitian is to announce his failure.
Pang Xuan was angry, Hua Jitian was in the antiques, developed, but in the chef, he was completely degenerate, and he wasted such a good talent in vain.
The three judges didn't know what to do, so they came to inspect the dishes and score.
When they saw that it was a dish of shredded potatoes, their eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and amusement. It seems that in recent years, in the Baishuicheng Cooking Competition, there are very few cold dishes, and there is only one case of cold shredded potatoes.
And this cold shredded potatoes don't seem to be very authentic, and there are no green peppers or bell peppers to match the color.
Pang Xuan used a small plate to serve a little bit to the three of them.
When the three judges tasted it, their faces changed greatly, and they looked at each other and nodded, but they did not speak. At this time, the judges generally don't speak, because there are many chefs around who are cooking, and their comments will definitely have an impact on other chefs.
After eating the shredded potatoes on the plate, the three judges returned to the judges' bench to discuss the scoring. One of the judges walked halfway, then turned back and grabbed a plate of shredded potatoes and walked away.
After a while, three more judges came, tasted shredded potatoes, and left quietly.
What is the situation, the other chefs are in a huff.
They are all veteran chefs, and many of them have participated in many WhiteWater City Cooking Competitions and know the rules of cooking very well.
There are generally more than 100 participants in the Whitewater City Cooking Competition. The Chefs Association also sent more than 30 judges.
In the first round, three judges are responsible for about ten chefs and score them. Eliminate the three lowest scores.
In the second round, five judges are responsible for about ten chefs and score them. Eliminate the three lowest scores.
In the third round, seven judges are responsible for about ten chefs and score them. Or the three with the lowest scores are eliminated.
In the fourth round, it was very cruel. There are only about forty groups of chefs, and nine judges are responsible for about ten chefs, scoring and then eliminating five.
After the fourth round, there were almost less than twenty finalists.
The rules are clear, in the first round, there are only three judges to judge the score of a dish. In fact, Hua Jitian said that after he finished cooking, there were also three judges.
But there were three judges in the back, what the hell.
These chefs don't have time to think about it, because their dishes are about to come out of the pot.
One after another, the chef raised his hand.
Report Judges,...... Chef, done. β
Report Judges,...... Chef, done. β
β¦β¦
Hua Jitian is considered good, and when he finishes it, the others haven't finished it, so the three judges come to taste it together.
However, sometimes three or four others in the same group raised their hands at the same time, and the judges had to taste the dishes separately for the sake of fairness and reasonableness.
Just like this group has four chefs serving dishes at the same time, the first judge tastes the dishes in the order of A, B, C, and D, while the second judge tastes the dishes according to D, B, B, B, and A, and the third judge tastes the dishes randomly, maybe B, A, C, D, or D, C, B, D, B
In this way, the impact of time on the dish can be minimized. Otherwise, the last one to be scored will definitely suffer.
Each chef's dish will have three points in the first round, and the three scores will be added together, and the lowest three will be eliminated compared to the other ten people in the same group.
At half past ten, after a period of hustle and bustle, the tasting was scored.
The list of finalists has been announced one after another.
The group of Hua Jitian also began to announce.
There are eleven of them in this group, and if they eliminate three, eight will advance.
Scores are announced from low to high.
"Eighth place, No. 43, with a combined score of 23.5 points. β
β¦β¦
"Fourth place, No. 36, with a combined score of 24.7 points. β
"Third place, forty-one, overall score, 24.8 points. β
The chefs and deputies who were promoted were all ecstatic, while the chefs, most of whom were light and breezy, although they were excited in their hearts, they still had to pretend on the outside, as if I knew that I would be promoted.
Some began to laugh at the soy sauce duo.
"Cold shredded potatoes, hehe, are the heads of the two funny?"
"People are here to beat soy sauce, and you don't ask for full blame. β
"Anyway, that kid's knife work really didn't say anything. β
β¦β¦
Pang Xuan wanted to cry without tears: "Brother, can you fight for some anger? Even your subordinate Qin Yong, who was defeated, entered the fourth round in previous years, and you can't even win the first round, are you not ashamed to lose people and chickens?"
Anger and mourning his misfortune is Pang Xuan's current mentality.
Hua Jitian scratched his head: "It shouldn't be, although it's only level three, but the first round doesn't make sense." He also began to doubt life.
Hua Jitian had already discovered that most of the chefs on the scene were around the second level, even if he only used the level of the third level, the first round would not make sense.
In their group, Hua Jitian had seen it earlier, and besides him, there were only two third-level chefs, so it didn't make sense for Hua Jitian to use third-level cooking skills.
Just like Qin Yong, as Pang Xuan said, in previous years' competitions, it was possible to pass three rounds and enter the fourth round. But occasionally breaking into the finals, although it is definitely not ranked, it can also make Qin Yong brag in the back kitchen for half a year.
In the first round, the third-level cooking skills are enough.
Therefore, Hua Jitian did not use full firepower, but only used third-level cooking skills.
Although the dish is too ordinary, it is indeed unflattering, and there should be no problems.
Hua Jitian judged that he should be between three or four, but now, the fourth place is not him, and the third place is not him.
Maybe second place?
"Second place, No. 32, with a combined score of 25.2 points. β
Still not a flower pole day.
There is also a promotion spot.
In their group, there are four more who did not advance, Hua Jitian and the other three.
Of the other three chefs who have not yet been announced, two have only just entered the second level, and knowing that they are almost eliminated, they began to pack up their things and prepare to get out, because in previous years, they also passed and failed, occasionally breaking into the second round, and never making it to the third round.
So, the remaining first-place spot, they can't even think of it.
There was also a middle-aged chef with a smile on his face.
"Everyone is leaving, young man, you can pack your things too, haha. The middle-aged chef looked at Hua Ji Tiandao, his expression seemed to be very kind, but he couldn't say what made people uncomfortable, he said, "Thirty-eight, I see that your knife skills are good, you might as well mix with me in the future." β
The middle-aged chef has also not been announced for the score. But he is sure that this first place place is his.
In previous years, he entered the finals, and in the first four rounds, he ranked very high, basically the top three. Even in the finals, I often get rankings.
Therefore, everyone, including himself, believes that the first place, which has not yet been announced, is already in his pocket.
"Which way are you messing around?"
Even if Lao Tzu didn't make the cut, what would happen. Lao Tzu is now a big guy in an antique shop, not a cook. A provincial and municipal cooking competition, no promotion, what's wrong, who has been provoked.
Hua Jitian's judgment was wrong, and he was also aggrieved, and when he heard that the middle-aged chef was blind, he went back.
"You...... , young man, you are too arrogant to know how thick the sky is. "The middle-aged chef was scolded, but he still showed the demeanor of a winner.
"Arrogant Nima. "Hua Jitian did not show weakness.
Nima, I admit and endure the cynicism, and the ridicule goes directly to my face, and I am definitely not finished, master.
"Okay, good, you have a kind of ......" The middle-aged chef's face turned red with anger, he is also the number one person in the culinary world of Whitewater City, when did he suffer this kind of anger?
The middle-aged chef has secretly planned that after he goes back, he must find out the details of Hua Jitian and give him some color.
How did he know that Hua Jitian didn't mix with the culinary world at all. When it comes to the antique world, the appeal of this middle-aged chef is not as good as that of Hu Zhou, a small vendor, let alone Hua Jitian.
The other two chefs, who didn't make the cut, packed up their things and retreated after the first place was announced.
When they saw that Hua Jitian was actually scolding the middle-aged chef, they all smiled.
They all knew the middle-aged chef and knew his strength and prestige in the culinary world of Whitewater. They had no doubt that as long as the middle-aged chef was willing, he would be able to make Hua Jitian unable to mix in the culinary world of White Water City.
Luo Chuanshui was far away, and he was half a master, so he was so busy that he didn't notice the situation here, he thought that the level of Hua Jitian's third-level cooking skills would have no problem in advancing to the finals, so he didn't care much.
Not far away, Wu Qi from Zhilu Restaurant also looked over: "Hey, that kid didn't make the cut, shouldn't be." β
Qin Yong sneered: "The young man relies on his own ability to pretend to be forced indiscriminately, it's a shame now." β
Fortunately, they were not far away, and the scene was chaotic, Hua Jitian didn't hear Qin Yong's words, otherwise, he was angry, and he would definitely scold Qin Yong's ancestors for the eighteenth generation.
And Qian Duoduo is also gloating, this kid looks awesome and coaxing, it seems that it can't be done.
At this time, Hua Jitian's group began to announce the last promotion place, that is, the first place.
