CH.204 The choice of dishes
Episode 204
As the host announced the official start of the game, the 4-hour countdown on the big screen finally began to move.
Xingping, Que Zhengqing and David put the ingredients in the cart on the operating table.
Red wine!
Kohei and David took out the material from the cart at the same time.
David glanced at the red wine on Xingping's table and was slightly stunned, could it be that Xingping also wants to cook Western food?
If it weren't for the language barrier, he would definitely have to taunt him fiercely.
What qualifications does Yuanyue's students have to compete with him in Western food?
But then he remembered the duel between Si Yingshi and Catherine, and quickly shook his head.
Si Yingshi...... He's not counted...... He's older than me. Next year, I will be better than today's Si Yingshi.
David comforted himself and put the other ingredients on the table one after another.
As the centerpiece of the whole dish, David chose beef tenderloin. This piece of beef has the most delicate texture and is especially suitable for cooking steaks.
In addition to the beef tenderloin, other ingredients were also placed on the counter.
"Onion, cream, beef stock, mustard...... Davy really wanted to cook French food. Yoshino said nervously.
"Lanji's students are good at French food, so it's normal for them to choose to cook French food. In a tournament like this, the average player wouldn't take any chances. Zenji Marui pushed the frame of his glasses and said in a deep voice.
"However, Sojin-kun seems to be cooking French food, is it really okay?" Megumi Tazo looked at the arena with a little uneasiness.
"Xiao Xingping's Western food is still good, don't lose confidence in him. Kobayashi Gentian replied to Megumi Tajiko.
"But the opponents are very good. Megumi Tazo was quite uneasy.
"What about Xiao Xingping's strength, Senior Shiraishi should know about it, right? Senior Shiraishi just trained Xiao Xingping. Kobayashi Gentian reminded.
By the way, there is also the training of senior Shiraishi......
Megumi Tazo immediately turned his head and looked at Ryuichi Shiraishi in surprise.
"Not bad. Bai Shilongyi showed a rare smile, "Although the basic skills of French cuisine are not too solid, but they can cook delicious dishes, so don't be too pessimistic, I am optimistic that Xingping can achieve good results." ”
"That's fine. Tian Sumi's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Kohei takes out the steak and quickly cuts the beef into square slices about 5 cm long with a kitchen knife, sprinkles pepper and other seasonings to marinate, and then takes out the saucepan, heats the pot, puts butter and sliced bacon in it, and starts stir-frying.
There was a long distance between the Polestar crowd and the arena, but even so, when white smoke came out of the pot, saliva still came out of their mouths.
On another big screen, David had rolled up the beef tenderloin, sprinkled it with seasonings, and marinated it slightly.
Both of them are French food, so their direct comparison is also more interesting. It's just that, so far, there is no way to judge the dishes of the two.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the scene.
"What's going on?" asked Kobayashi Gentian with a puzzled expression.
The big screen just switched to Que Zhengqing's cooking screen. Si explained.
"Que Zhengqing?"
Kobayashi Gentian remembered that Zheng Ke was very optimistic about Que Zhengqing before, but his performance in this competition was not satisfactory. The loss to Catherine was understandable, but the loss to Luke was a surprise to many.
In that game, Kobayashi Gentian also watched it. However, her mental state is not very good, she is a little confused, and she can only look at a rough idea.
In that competition, the dishes cooked by Que Zhengqing were also very good, but the judges voted for Luke, and there should still be unknown reasons.
She has never tasted the dishes, so it is really difficult for her to guess the judging criteria of the evaluation committee.
However, today's Que Zhengqing is different, the kitchen knife in his hand quickly removed the tendons in the beef tenderloin, and then began to slice the beef tenderloin.
The cutting method of animal meat is very particular about knife work. Because many vegetables are hard in texture, the thickness of the kitchen knife is easy to control, but the meat is different, unless it is frozen, it is very difficult to process these meats, and when the knife is lowered, the meat will always bend with the kitchen knife.
Que Zhengqing, however, appeared to be at ease when handling fresh tenderloin, and the kitchen knife slashed along the horizontal lines of the beef, cutting the tenderloin effortlessly.
One, two, three......
The slices of tenderloin are gradually cut, and the thickness of each slice is almost the same, and it has a very thin thickness, judging by Kobayashi's experience, it is about 2 mm.
With such a thickness, it is already very thin.
It seems that Zheng Ke's evaluation of Que Zhengqing is not exaggerated at all, among the people of the same age as Zheng Ke, Que Zhengqing is definitely the first few existences.
But Que Zhengqing, who is so strong, was also in the qualifying round and lost twice.
Thinking of this, Kobayashi Gentian secretly rejoiced that at least she still maintained an undefeated record.
"Jiuga-kun, can you tell what kind of dishes Que Jun is going to cook?" Ichishiki Hui looked back at Kuga Teruji behind him.
Jiu Ji shook his head repeatedly, "I'm just processing beef now, huh...... However, there are quite a lot of seasonings used. ”
Que Zhengqing put the cut meat slices into clean water to wash off the blood stains, and then marinated them with salt, cooking wine, pepper and other ingredients.
"It's a shame that you're still good at Sichuan cuisine, and you can't even see this. Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning put his hands on the frame and snorted coldly.
"Sister Braided! There are so many dishes of Sichuan cuisine, how can I know them all? Besides, Que Zhengqing is the Sichuan Pavilion of the East, and they have more recipes than I know!"
"Alas, height is directly proportional to knowledge. Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning sighed.
"Sister Braid, your aunt is here?" After a long time, I was like being stepped on by the tail, and the green tendons on my forehead also burst out.
"Nonsense, no. Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning put his hands on the frame of the glasses and denied it,
Bai Shilongyi was not interested in the noise of his younger brothers and sisters, but he was also attracted by Que Zhengqing's cooking skills, and for now, Que Zhengqing's knife skills were better than the other two.
However, the cooking competition is not only about knife skills.
The picture on the big screen switched again, and Kohei appeared in everyone's field of vision.
He poured the cut beef into the pan and stir-fried, and the surface of the beef changed from a tender red to a brown.
When Bai Shilong saw this, he kept nodding.
From the current point of view, Kohei has a good grasp of the heat.
This stir-fry process is just for coloring, locking in the gravy of the beef, and what really makes the beef more ripe is the subsequent operation.
Because the game lasted for four hours, it also gave Kohei plenty of time.
After removing the beef from the pan, Kohei pours the chopped vegetables into the pan and stir-fries the vegetables using the hot oil from the stir-fried beef and ham.
This kid has even calculated this piece.
Bai Shilong rubbed his chin, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
