Chapter 651: Making a Staple Food?
After repeated introductions by the host, the rules of this competition are the same as before, five gourmets from each country cooperate with each other to make a complete meal in this makeshift kitchen. That is, the main course, side dishes, main dishes, soups, and finally snacks or desserts.
Moreover, the competition also has a time limit, which is limited to one and a half hours. When the time comes, whether you finish the dishes in your hand or not, you must turn off the fire and stop the game. Finally, the five judges of the jury on the spot tasted the food and gave their own scores. At that time, among the ten teams, the three teams with the highest scores from the five judges can advance to the next semi-final competition.
This is the rules of the preliminary round of the Global Food Competition, and according to Han Jijiang and He Guozhang before, when it comes to the semi-finals, the rules are more strict and perfect than the preliminary round. It's just that their Huaguo team has been subjected to various targets in the semi-finals, and they are ranked at the bottom of the world judges' scores every year, and they have no chance to compete in the semi-finals. Not to mention, the top 10 and finals after the semi-finals.
When the host introduced the rules of the competition, the chefs from all over the world on the stage began to allocate the tools they needed, each person has a chopping board, a set of kitchen utensils, and each chef also has his own kitchen stove, no need to share one, this is the standard configuration of the competition, and the staff just formed together to get these things.
Therefore, in the next competition, each chef only needs to have a reasonable division of labor, and the chefs in each team do not delay each other. The one-and-a-half-hour duration of this game is quite loose and even more than enough. The queue that is directly eliminated every year because it does not finish the food can be said to be something that does not exist. Even in the years that the Global Food Contest has been held, it has only happened a few times.
After the host saw that the gourmets from all countries were almost ready to distribute the kitchenware before the game, and all the kitchenware was distributed to each gourmet, the host announced the official start of the competition!
On the big screen of the stage, the picture changed, and a countdown clock came out in an instant, which was the countdown of 1:30. And, after this countdown time appeared, when the on-site host announced the start of the game, this countdown was also a move, and the official countdown to the game began.
On the stage, although the big screen is showing the countdown time, it is also broadcasting the close-up shots of the chefs from various countries in real time, as well as the whole shot, which is switched at will, so that the audience who cannot see the cooking pictures of the chefs from various countries on the stage in the back row can watch the competition more intuitively.
Of course, after seeing the countdown to the game, these foreign spectators were obviously very excited, and they kept shouting, quite enthusiastic and full of passion, pushing the ignition point of the competition from the end of the opening meeting to the highest again.
And when the competition began, gourmets from many countries gathered around the large white transparent push box next to their temporary kitchen, communicating with each other and selecting the ingredients inside.
These transparent boxes are all the ingredients prepared for them by the organizers of the competition in advance, and these large boxes that can be pushed are the size of two freezers, and the ingredients contained in them, let alone five gourmets each make a delicacy, even if it is five of them, one person can make five dishes is more than enough, and they can't use these.
In addition, there are all kinds of ingredients, such as seafood ingredients, such as Argentine red shrimp, French oysters, Canadian pearl oysters, frozen king crab from the United States, salmon from Northern Europe, lobsters, prince crabs, grouper seafood and so on.
Of course, no matter how you say it, this large trolley box is also limited in space, and although the ingredients in it are quite comprehensive, the amount of ingredients is only enough to make one or two dishes.
In the face of these ingredients, what chefs from these countries need to do is to choose their own suitable food and make a dish for the judges to taste and score, and decide to stay.
Therefore, after the start of the competition, gourmets from all over the world were not in a hurry to start cooking. Because, after all, these ingredients are limited, and what the ingredients are are are all on a piece of cardboard like the menu. In the process of cooking, gourmets from all over the world can only cook with these ingredients and make dishes with the condiments provided by the competition team. Otherwise, it will be eliminated as if the food was not cooked within the specified time.
So, when these foodies get together, they are mainly holding a paper list of ingredients, discussing what dishes to make and what ingredients need to be used. As for the more important division of labor of specific dishes, such as which chef will make the main dish, which will make the main dish, and who will make the soup, these things can be decided in advance, and these gourmets have basically been allocated and arranged before the game.
Similarly, in the intense discussion and research of gourmets from other countries, how to use existing cuisines to make products that surpass the cuisines of other countries, Ang Lee and his team of Chinese gourmets are no exception, and they are also carrying out intense discussions.
Li Ang and they also made a series of lineup arrangements before the game, for example, in the cooking arrangement of the main dish, Li Ang and his entourage considered that He Guozhang, who was the oldest and senior, would be in charge, or Li An, a newcomer, would be in charge of the main dish, and everyone had no opinion on this.
Because, there is no doubt that He Guozhang is the most experienced among them, and he is also the one with the highest level of cooking. Similarly, the reason why they also considered Ang Lee's cooking as the main dish was mainly because of Ang Lee's cooking, and they had all tasted it and were convinced.
Therefore, in the pre-game arrangement, they have these two choices in the cooking of the main course. As for other side dishes and soups, there is also a division of labor in advance.
Fang Dachuan makes auxiliary dishes, Wang Dazhou's craftsmanship is suitable for making snacks or desserts after meals, followed by staple foods and pastries. And among their group, Ji Hongchang, who is second only to He Guozhang in the grade, is from Guangdong, and he has a lot of experience in soup, which Li Ang is ashamed of because he has not learned the recipe of soup dishes. Therefore, this soup link must be remembered Hongchang himself.
Now, Ang Lee and his Huaguo team are facing this problem, and the cooking links of other dishes are basically arranged. In terms of the main dish, they haven't decided whether it will be made by Ang Lee, a newcomer, or will it be safer for a veteran like He Guozhang?
Seeing that everyone was a little embarrassed about this question, Ang Lee was free and easy, this competition was only the preliminary round, far inferior to the subsequent semi-finals, the top ten matches, and the final finals. Ang Lee came this time to win the championship, and he didn't want to expose his strength so quickly. Therefore, his opinion is that the main dish is from He Guozhang, and the other arrangements remain unchanged, and he will make the simplest part, the main dish.
This is to make it convenient for Li Anzang to be clumsy, and secondly, it can also make the gourmets who pay attention to him in other countries relax their vigilance against him and take him lightly. After all, the staple food link is too simple, not to mention the world's top gourmets and chefs, even the food apprentices who have just started will do this, and Ang Lee will run to make the staple food, which will definitely make many gourmets who pay attention to him be vigilant against him to the minimum. In this way, Ang Lee may hide such a hand, which will become a killer weapon for their Huaguo.
After unifying their opinions, Ang Lee and the others saw that other countries had begun to cook food, and the smell of oil overflowed at the scene, making people feel the aroma and at the same time, it was also stirring the nerves of those gourmets who had not yet started to do it.
Ang Lee saw that the first to start cooking were the gourmets, and they were the two strong opponents in their group of competitions, one was the Turkish gourmets and the other was the Australian gourmets, and the teams of these two countries had achieved outstanding results in previous years, and the ranking was far from being comparable to the gourmets in their Chinese countries.
Therefore, after seeing these two countries rushing ahead of the gourmets of other countries, He Guozhang and their pressure were also coming, and they couldn't stand one by one!
Subsequently, Li An and the others confirmed the division of labor again, and then began to select the ingredients they were about to use one by one and prepare them separately.
Compared with other gourmets in their country, Ang Lee, a chef who is only responsible for contracting the staple food link, is quite leisurely, boiling water by himself, taking a bag of specially packaged sachets of flour, drawing circles there, and mixing noodles.
At this time, many foreign gourmets are also looking around to see how the gourmets from other countries are progressing in this competition, which country is the slowest to be nervous, and is it slower than the gourmets of other countries?
Wait a minute...
The global food competition, so many gourmets and chef competitions, of course, there are many things to consider.
However, when everyone saw that the high-profile young man in Huaguo was leisurely, unhurriedly boiling water and noodles, many gourmets were subconsciously stunned!
Then, many foreign gourmets suddenly showed a very contemptuous smile!
Huaguo is really the country that ranks at the bottom every year, even this Huaguo rookie gourmet, who was praised by many people before the competition, is just a staple food!
As we all know, staple foods are only small things, and it is completely impossible to compare with the main dishes, soup dishes, and side dishes that have been cooked with great care. Even compared with desserts and snacks after meals, staple foods are far inferior.
The staple food at the global food competition can be said to be the most useless kind of chef, this kind of chef is just a foil to the competition, a foil for a country's gourmets. Because everyone can make the staple food, and if you change it to an apprentice, the staple food will always be a foil for the main dish and soup dish, and it is difficult to add points to this whole dish.
Based on this alone, the dessert after the meal is more advantageous, and if the dessert can be made well enough, there will be a chance to add points.
At the same time, some gourmets who had previously paid attention to Ang Lee began to relax their vigilance against Ang Lee, and even disdained a person like Ang Lee.
In fact, when they saw Ang Lee actually go to make a staple food, not only these foreign gourmets were very surprised by this.
In Huaguo, there are many homes with bright lights, many people sit in front of the TV and wait to watch Ang Lee show his talents, and the food he makes shocks abroad, and the audience who stayed up late for Ang Lee who beat foreigners are also a little dumbfounded when they see this scene, and they don't quite understand what Ang Lee is doing? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
How can a good chef not be able to run to make this most useless staple food?
On Weibo, although it is late at night, the topic of the global food competition is still very hot, and netizens are still hotly discussed.
At this moment, as soon as the live broadcast of Ang Lee running to make the staple food was broadcast, netizens on Weibo began to blow up!
"What's going on? Is there some accident? How did Ang Lee run to make the staple food? This is the most unpromising part of the competition! This staple food is dispensable!"
"Damn! Ang Lee is going to do something again? Ran to make the staple food? Why didn't I understand what Ang Lee was doing!"
"I suddenly have a feeling that there is a conflict between Li Ang and them, and Li Ang may have been rejected by them! Otherwise, Li Ang is such a good cook, it is impossible to run to make food! Even a chef apprentice can cook staple food, isn't this a waste of talent? I feel that we are going to lose this competition again! There is no hope of advancing to the semi-finals!" Some netizens couldn't help but sigh one after another when they saw this scene, obviously not optimistic about the next game.
...
At the same time, in New York, the hospitality hotel offered by the Global Gastronomy Competition, in a luxurious private room.
When Saki Ichiro, a gourmand from the island country, saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then immediately sneered with a full face!
"Haha! I thought how powerful Ang Lee of this Hua Guo could be! Now it seems that it is nothing more than that! I ran to make the staple food by myself? It seems that the previous remarks praising him were all deliberately blown out by himself, and my methods are probably useless! This Chinese man is really weak!"
"It's a pity that I can't humiliate this Li An properly to relieve the hatred in my heart! You Huaguo should stay at the bottom of the ranking!" Then, Saque Ichiro saw that Li An was unimaginably weak, and said to himself in a cold voice that was a little unwilling.
...
In the room of the stick country, this scene is similar.
"Is this Chinese really the latest support invited by Huaguo? I went to make the staple food by myself? Hehe! It seems that we all think too highly of the Chinese people this time!" said the gourmand of the country with disdain.
"Looking at the comments on the Huaguo Internet, I thought this Ang Li was so powerful, but I didn't expect this person to be so unsightly, running to make staple food?
