At night, the hall of the Chef Contest is filled with diners from all over the country. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the middle of the hall is a circular square platform divided into three sections.

In each area, there are various kitchen utensils such as stoves, steamers, noodle tables, and ovens.

Behind the square table, there is a large area with more than a dozen rows of shelves, on which a large number of vegetables and fruits are stacked.

In addition to these, there is a large drain tank and a supermarket fresh meat cabinet against the wall at the back, which is supposed to store meat, seafood and river fresh.

It seems that the organizers of the God of Chef Contest are really local tyrants, and it costs a lot of money just to have so many ingredients.

And the time of the Chef Contest can be a month, and during this month, the ingredients here must be changed every day, because no one wants to use something that is not fresh.

"Ruonan, when will it be my turn to cook on stage?" Liu Mang asked, sitting in the contestant's rest area backstage.

"Well, that's good! Finally get rid of my last name and stop calling me by my full name. Hearing that he changed his name to Ruonan, Li Ruonan was very happy: "Liu Mang, when can you call me by my nickname?"

"Nickname?"

"Yes, call me a man like my aunt. ”

"Uh..." Liu Mang wanted to try to scream, but these two words turned around in his mouth, and he couldn't say it, but his face turned red.

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. Li Ruonan was amused by Liu Mang's blushing appearance and laughed: "You drew the No. 2 lottery, and when the first round of players is finished, it will be your turn." ”

"That's right. Liu Mang nodded, carefully observing the contestants and judges who were about to play.

After waiting for a while, the camera was set up and the judges were seated. A gong sounded, and a wonderful figure walked from the side of the hall to the square platform.

"Dear audience, distinguished judges, foodies from all over China!

"It's Yang Yan!" Seeing the appearance of the hostess, the five eyes sitting on the chair jumped up excitedly.

Contestants in the Chef Contest are allowed to bring helpers, but only a maximum of two people can be brought.

Originally, Li Ruonan was going to transfer two people to Liu Mang in the catering R&D department of Baidai Group. But Liu Mang is not used to people he doesn't know, so he only brings five eyes.

Anyway, at most, he will wash the vegetables, kill the fish or something, and the rest Liu Mang can do it by himself.

The five-eyed guy changed into a snow-white chef's uniform today, and he took a picture in front of the mirror at the entrance just now, and he was very sassy.

"Boss, can I ask Yang Yan for an autograph later. You know, she's always been my goddess. ”

"It should be possible. Liu Mang gave him an angry look.

"It's not easy. I know her, and we can eat together after the game. Li Ruonan said with a smile.

"Really?" The five-eyed face looked like a pig brother, and suddenly the sycophants slapped wildly: "The eldest sister's head is a cow! You are Guanyin Bodhisattva who descended to the mortal world!"

"The three chief judges and the public judges are invited to sit down. ”

"I think I've seen that person. Liu Mang saw the crane-haired and childish old man sitting on the judges' bench and said.

"Boss, isn't that the old man who taught us how to pull the line when we fished for the king of herring last time?"

"That's right, it's him. Liu Mang can be sure.

Because he once stuffed two chaff cakes mixed with space spring water.

"That old man has a lot of background, he used to be the number one in Koto City, and after he retired, he traveled around the country every day to taste local food, and he was a well-known foodie. Li Ruonan also knew each other and introduced him to Liu Mang.

"Good start, acquaintances. Five-eyed laughed.

"You're wrong, his mouth is very tricky, and when he was still in office, he was known for being unsympathetic, if you want to impress him, you still have to rely on real skills. ”

"Of course, I believe in the level of the boss. ”

"Now we invite our first round of contestants to the stage today, they are Chef Wei Kai from Yangzhou Pingchaolou, Ms. Shan Jian from Guangzhou Yunfu Restaurant, and Chef Yang Peng from Bashu Shixian Restaurant. The host Yang Yan introduced them one by one.

"Strange? There are women who are chefs? I wonder if she studied red cases. After Liu Mang saw the Shan Jian, he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

It's not that he looks down on female chefs, but in Chinese cuisine, especially the chef of a big hotel, not only skills are needed, but also physical strength.

Because the amphora woks used in hotels generally weigh one or two pounds, plus the ingredients fried in it, if you want to turn the pot with one hand for a long time, you can't do it without two strengths.

Especially when doing wedding banquets and large-scale banquets, in order to be in a hurry, they are all fried in a large pot, and the weight of a pot is dozens of catties. The owner of the hotel doesn't want you to cut back just because you're a woman.

Of course, with the exception of the white case, which specializes in pastry and pastry, women's hands are naturally a little more skillful than men's, and they are most suitable for small and delicate dishes, and it doesn't take much effort to use the steamer and oven.

After thanking a whole bunch of sponsors, the host finally announced that the contest had begun.

"Now let's ask our judges to draw the ingredients that will be cooked for this competition. ”

Two staff members, pushing out a prop, is a large disc mounted on a shelf like a clock.

The disc is evenly divided into many compartments with the names of various ingredients on it. The old man who taught Liu Mang to fish nodded, stepped forward, and turned the disc.

After a few turns, the disc slowly stopped, and the pointer on it stopped at one of the ingredients in the lattice—fish.

"Okay, the ingredients for the first session have been drawn, and what the three of you have to do now is to use the ingredients given to you by the organizing committee to make dishes that you are satisfied with. to impress the eyes, nose, mouth and stomach of the judges. The old man picked up the microphone and said.

"Can't the contestants use their own ingredients?" Liu Mang couldn't help but ask.

"The qualifiers are not good, but you can enter the finals, because in the end, the competition is also the strength of the restaurant standing behind the contestants, and some unique dishes also need to use the special ingredients found by the chef himself. ”

"Oh, that's good. Liu Mang put his mind at ease, his space has been specially prepared a lot, which is also his killer feature in this competition.

"Don't worry, with me behind you, you don't have to worry about the ingredients at all, you just want the dragon meat in the sky, as long as you can find it, I will buy it for you immediately." Li Ruonan handed Liu Mang a relieved look.

Waiting for the three contestants to choose the main ingredients and ingredients needed for the dishes, the lights on the square table turned on. The first round of the qualifiers for the Huaxia Chef Contest began.

ps~ Children's shoes, your dragon set has arrived, and if you still want to run a dragon set or want to eat any dishes, you can come to the group to find me, and I will try my best to arrange it.
