Episode 256 Selection

Pufferfish, in fact, is not a correct way to write, its real way to write should be pufferfish.

The flesh of this fish is extremely delicious, but it has a fatal drawback, that is, it contains "pufferfish toxin" in the internal organs and blood of some types of pufferfish.

Taking Japan as an example, there are about 38 species of pufferfish along the coast of Japan, of which only 22 species are allowed to be used, and different species of pufferfish have different poisonous parts.

In a fish-friendly country like Japan, puffer fish is strictly controlled, and you must pass three exams and obtain a license to handle pufferfish.

Zheng Ke is not a chef who specializes in preparing pufferfish, so he will be a little scared when faced with many types of pufferfish. In case of a mistake, it can really kill people.

Therefore, after thinking of a new cuisine, Zheng Ke decisively gave up puffer fish sashimi.

He is very confident in his cooking skills, but he can't stand his mistakes, and if he doesn't handle it well, he really can't take this responsibility.

As for cooking sashimi for other fish, in Zheng Ke's opinion, it is better to prepare Western food or Chinese cuisine.

Orlens respects Zheng Ke's decision.

A chef of Zheng Ke's level is quite sensitive to the choice of ingredients, otherwise, it would not be possible to be at the peak of his peers all the time.

In the duel of masters, the judgment of the dish is extremely important. Zheng Ke played against Bayer on the-blue and Fu Xiuyun in qualifying, which also greatly improved his judgment of cooking.

But even so, Orlens kindly reminded Zheng Ke that he must have a back hand.

Zheng Ke pondered a little and nodded.

He focused on sauna cuisine, and chose a few French dishes as candidates.

Everdan's lecturer selection consists of two parts, but these two parts are completely separate. In other words, only those who have passed the practical test are eligible for the trial lecture.

Although it is the same topic, the gap between the practical operation and the trial lecture is still quite large.

Zheng Ke had previously held tutoring courses related to Chinese cuisine at Lanji Second College, and he also had a little experience in lecturing, but it was also a challenge for him to try and explain cooking performances.

In the week before the exam, Zheng Ke mainly studied sauna dishes, and also cooked a few French dishes by the way.

Orens, who has tried French food, is full of praise for Zheng Ke's dishes.

"If you had been introduced to French cuisine earlier, you would have achieved as much as Catherine. Orlens sighed.

"Yes. However, teacher, although the quality of my French food is not as good as that of Catherine, I can do all the dishes she knows, and she may not be able to make the dishes I know. Zheng Ke said with a smile.

Orlens was stunned, things were really as Zheng Ke said.

In fact, not only Catherine, but even the top few U18 in recent years, are not as comprehensive as Zheng Ke, and what is even more commendable is that Zheng Ke only relied on Western food to enter the top ten of U18, and the strength he showed in front of the game was far from his real strength.

The only fly in the ointment is that after the qualifying round, Zheng Ke rarely participates in the World Championships, so far, he is only ranked sixth - you know, there are already a large number of chefs, such as Fu Xiuyun, Bayer, and Cheng Huaizhi, who have been removed from this list because they are over 19 years old.

To a certain extent, because Zheng Ke has not participated in large-scale competitions, his ranking has retreated a lot in disguise, and even Que Zhengqing's ranking has surpassed Zheng Ke.

However, Zheng Ke didn't care at all, his attention had long since shifted to what happened after graduation.

Que Zhengqing can rely on the signboard of the East, but he doesn't have that capital, although he has the brand of Lanji, but in terms of connections, it is almost zero, and everything has to start again.

The day before the exam, Zheng Ke told the organizer the ingredients he needed through the website, and found out the competition mode and the number of games Zheng Ke played from the website.

In this exam, Everton deliberately invited 12 main examiners, divided into four groups, each group of three teachers. Similarly, the 20 players were divided into four groups of five people each, and the top two players in the group qualified and entered the teaching stage.

The three judges tried five dishes in one day, which was not a lot of effort, but it was a bit of a tight time for the five chefs to complete the dishes in one day.

Therefore, the start time of the first game will be extraordinarily early. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the first contestant will enter the practice room and cook the dishes.

Zheng Ke's order of appearance is C3, that is, the third player in Group C. In front of him, there were two other people, which kept him from being too rushed.

The venue of the competition was in a five-star hotel in the center of the city, called "Missing the Wind", which was about an hour away from Lanji, so Zheng Ke could pack up all the tools he used and go to the hotel where the exam was held.

On the morning of the match, Orlens drove Zheng Ke to the hotel where the match was played.

"Come on, perform well. ”

"Rest assured, in a group, there can be two people who can advance, and I should have a chance to win. ”

Zheng Ke grinned, carried the knife box, and got out of the car. After entering the hotel, he came to the front desk to explain his intention, and immediately a staff member sent him his admission ticket, and then led Zheng Ke into the elevator.

When Zheng Ke arrived at the hotel, at about eleven o'clock, the results of the first person in Group C had come out, and the total score was 264 points, and on average, each teacher gave him 88 points - this score is already quite high.

The second person's dish is also about to be completed, and the TV in the rest area is showing the operation of the second player.

After Zheng Ke was ready, he took two breaths and glanced at the other three people, they looked like they were thirty or forty years old, two of them looked down at the recipe, and the other middle-aged chef with short red hair, clasped his hands and looked nervously at the big screen, he should be the first contestant to take the exam.

After this person saw Zheng Ke, he immediately became alert.

The other two people also felt strange, their eyes moved away from the book, and fell on Zheng Ke, their brows were also furrowed, and their expressions were obviously dissatisfied.

"Why are there still children?" said one of the men with round black glasses, a little dissatisfied.

"Who knows, I don't know which chef's child, these people are really, don't you know, can't outsiders be allowed in here?" Another middle-aged man with silver hair also showed dissatisfaction.

Zheng Ke shrugged his shoulders helplessly,

And in recent months, he has not shown his face on television or in the media, and it is normal that others do not know him.

Zheng Ke didn't want this, closed his eyes slightly, and chose to rest.

At this time, a staff member walked into the lounge, looked around the four people in the room, and finally looked at Zheng Ke.

"Chef Zheng Ke, it's your turn, please get ready and follow me into the practice room. ”

Zheng Ke opened his eyes, nodded slightly, stood up from his seat, carried the knife box, followed the staff, and left the rest area.

"Eh? Zheng Ke...... It sounds familiar. The dark-framed chef pushed the glasses frame with a serious expression.

"The names of the Huaxia people are almost the same, maybe they were your former guests, right?" said the silver-haired middle-aged man.

"Possibly. The darkglassed-framed chef nodded slightly, agreeing with the other's words.
